astraleanders 16-22 september 2009

In General: The week begins with the Virgo sun in conjunction to Saturn and opposing Uranus. Once again the focus is on obligations versus the desire for freedom. Mercury squares Pluto adding a sensibility and awareness of personal vulnerability that can make us all a tad fragile! By the time the new arrives on the 18th we are definitely ready affect a new beginning and get some solid planning and organisation into our lives. This new Moon also conjuncts Saturn and opposes Uranus and repetitively asks us to find some balance in our practical and conventional lives and our needs, desires and dreams! Mercury is now also in Virgo emphasising responsibility, how we do things and how we communicate. There is likely to be a lot of self analysis going on this week!! Venus semi-squares Mars and trines Pluto on September 20-22, signaling some tension and intensity within relationships. There are new insights here. We can take the best of this energy and learn to be more compassionate and understanding. If your birthday falls this week then the year ahead for you will be both challenging and expanding! There are opportunities for you discover talents you were not previously aware of and make some real progress fiscally. On the world scene the emphasis is on communication issues and the support of new projects that involve communication, compassion and greater freedoms. Locally avoid the tendency to over spend and act out of character on the 16-17th.

Thought for the week.... ‘Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities’. John C Maxwell

Aries
March 21- April 20
Towards the end of this week you will experience a greater desire to spend time with those you love and the emphasis which for so long has been work oriented will begin to turn! To make the most of this time give yourself opportunity to reflect and get your balance between work and play more equalised.

Taurus
April 21-May 21
You are feeling more spontaneous and more able to step outside of your comfort zone. It’s a little too easy for you to disagree or argue with loved ones now though; you need to be less judgemental and more compassionate. If you can do this then there will be opportunity for playful fun and laughter in your life.

Gemini
May 22-June 21
Plans can be slow to materialise right now and you can find that changes are a day to day affair this week. Focus on home and family for the best results. There is an epiphany towards the end of the week and something that has been troubling you will be cleared up. You will get back on track by the 22nd so don’t worry about little hiccups.

Cancer
June 22- July 23
You can feel as if things are a bit chaotic this week. Stay calm and focused and you will weather the storm! A conflict of interests could be the real underlying problem so search deep and work it out. The new moon allows you to see the benefits of sharing and partnerships. Acknowledge this and give appreciation where it is deserved.

Leo
July 24- August 23
It’s very important to keep an eye on the financial area of your life this week. It certainly is not an ideal time for any big purchases. People are helpful and supportive now so put your focus on sharing and caring and forget the dramatic indulgences you are so prone to! All things material will get back on track after the 21st.

Virgo
August 24- September 23
Time to stabilise your finances and get organised in just about all areas of your life! With so much active Virgo about you are actually very much in your comfort zone at present and things that have long proved troublesome can at last be sorted out. Things have been puzzling and confusing will gain some clarity too.

Libra
September 24- October 23
Try to remain realistic and grounded this week. You have a tendency to over idealise people, invitations and projects. It’s necessary to pay some attention to your health and to avoid stressful situations and people who are too demanding! With adequate rest and rejuvenation time now, you can move ahead after the 22nd.

Scorpio
October 24-November 22
It’s an intense week for most Scorpios and so it’s important to prioritise your time well and make allowances for your moods and emotions. The real problem is just that all things tend to happen at once for you and a feeling of chaos ensues. You like dependability and order and so will need to give yourself the space to create this.

Sagittarius
November 23- December 21
This proves to be an easier week for you guys than most! The only to be aware of is mercury retrograde in your career zone. Do not make major decisions or moves here if you can at all avoid this! Instead you should use your considerable powers of manifestation to create what you want in your life!

Capricorn
December 22- January20
This week can be important in the long term for you guys and what decisions you make now can bring about all manner of results come March next year. If you play things well then travel could be on the cards! There is a greater sense of freedom and moment in your life after the new moon on the 18th.

Aquarius
January 21- February 19
You need to really think about your health this week and if you have been doing too much for everyone else now is the perfect opportunity to practice saying ‘No’. Getting back into good routines and getting back into considering your own needs is important now. Focus on getting a better balance in your life.

Pisces
February 20 March 20
This week is a difficult one for Pisces, but it is the last really hard patch of the year. If you can weather your emotions and internal storms now, you will emerge with a new found strength and independence. Don’t ask too much of yourself, don’t feel too sorry for yourself and do be realistic when setting goals!

Astral Peeks: Astro Diet.
As this is a good week to get for getting some order into your life I thought it a perfect opportunity to look at diet and health.
Aries: Generally quick, active and impatient, their main issue is eating on the run! Lots of variety in life, exercise and food is advised.
Taurus: There is a tendency to overindulge in the good things here! Eating little and often works well for you and activity that is fun and enjoyable, like dance is advised.
Gemini: These guys keep a busy schedule so eating well requires organisation and preparing food ahead. They love to exercise in groups.
Cancer: They can be emotional eaters or non eaters! Diet gets better when their emotional health is better. Meditation and relaxation is imperative!
Leo: Gym and beach are good for you guys but don’t fall victim to sugary ’health’ bars and power drinks! Fruit, fresh veg and water are always best.
Virgo: Determined, organised and conscious of health characterises Virgo. The only issue with diet is that you can be too hard on yourself!
Libra: Yoga and other gentile exercise suits and you do best when you are aware of how what you eat affects your appearance, not just weight but skin and hair too!
Scorpio: Seafood and water sports come to mind. You guys have a big issue with sweets though and need to temper this!
Sagittarius: These guys have a love of exotic foods and things foreign! They love a good wine and chocolate! In moderation all is fine! They are naturally sporty.
Capricorn: Many celebrity chefs are Capricorns!! They like good food and are notorious calorie counters! They are not group sport types and a home gym is their ideal.
Aquarius: they need to stay focused, too many starts and stops to the good eating habits! Exercise can be sporadic too...so try a different activity each week and avoid boredom!
Pisces: No issues about good food here just a tendency to drink too much! Company and lots of encouragement keep them exercising and watching their intake habits.
