Astral meanders September 30th- October 6th 2009

In General: This week, the desire to express warmth and love is strong, but may not be easy to translate into action because of individual doubts and insecurities. Thankfully Mercury is finally moving into direct motion after a few weeks of retrograde movement. This means that communications start to become clearer, however it’s still advisable to take your time before making significant decisions or approaching vital conversations. Venus quincunx Jupiter on October 4th/5th suggests a craving for the pleasures and indulgences of life. Troubles can emerge in relationships now due to exaggerated expectations and needs. It will be necessary to affect a balance between responsibilities and the desire for self-indulgence. With the Sun firmly in Libra, relationships of all types come into sharp focus. For those whose birthday falls this week the year ahead will hold a few relationship challenges, the key will be, to be very honest about oneself! The Moon is full and in Aries on the 4th of the month and at the same time Mercury opposes Uranus, suggesting unpredictability within relationships of all kinds and manifestations of passionate behaviours, either creative, romantic and positive behaviour or fiery, tempestuous and angry behaviour!!On the world scene the chaotic events of the past few weeks should be starting to smooth out and things will revive a modicum of normality! It is still not a great time for world leaders to make lasting and effective decisions though, unpredictability is still the order of the day! Locally it’s a good time to reflect on the root of your anxieties and put some self healing into practice!

Thought for the week.... The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.... A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words. Rachel Naomi Remen
