astral meanders 30 december 2009- 5 January 2010

In General: New Year’s Day has a very exceptional full Moon, a Lunar Eclipse in Cancer. With the Cancer-Capricorn axis implicated, this Lunar Eclipse suggests we take a good look at our needs, requirements and desires. Cancer speaks to us about value in our home base and our family, while Capricorn inclines us to reflect upon our sense of obligation and responsibility in the wider world. So ostensibly, this Full Moon is about balancing our loyalty to our careers and our families. Relationships may be challenged, break down, or become stronger in a spectacular way, at this time. Our discoveries along these lines can be emotionally stimulating and exaggerated. Everything seems larger than life! This eclipse is all about making necessary changes in our lives which means our New Year’s resolutions pack all that more punch this year! If you are enjoying a birthday this week then the year ahead has some importance to your overall journey, it can set the scene for a wonderfully fulfilling life or it can make it all the more frustrating, get the balance right now and reap the rewards for a long time! On the world scene expect the focus to be on public figures of power and events happening close to their home and families! Locally keep breathing and practicing those relaxation techniques because some angst and tension is still about!


Thought for the week: Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."Albert Einstein


Aries
March 21- April 20
All sorts of money issues come to the fore now, you may be looking at how to pay those never ending bills, how to increase your income, or you may have recently had a windfall or an offer too good to refuse. Your problems arise because you do not seem able to trust yourself now and are asking too many people to help you make those important decisions.

Taurus
April 21-May 21
You may be feeling the outflow of another’s problems and this can be tiring for you! Family squabbles and other sensitivities can be getting you down. You should take any opportunity that comes your way to give yourself some time out and even perhaps ma little holiday away! New friendships should be followed.

Gemini
May 22-June 21
Be assured that 2010 will be a bonza year for you guys, despite the first week of January being filled with delays, misunderstandings, frustrations and difficulties in general! Finances are still on rocky ground but this will be clearing up sooner than later too, so just hang in there this week, keep a low profile and keep a smile on your face!

Cancer
June 22- July 23
The New Year begins with some personal challenges regarding relationships and those close to you. Do not take it all too seriously, everyone is tired and dealing with their own post Christmas issues! It will all get better mid- month and this week will but a small memory! Get some order into your home life by completing all those little jobs you’ve been putting off!

Leo
July 24- August 23
You just need to recognise that others are having trouble understanding you this week and all the delays and confusion will finally make sense! Be ok about repeating yourself a lot! On a positive note be prepared for some financial increases and positive work related news to come your way during the week!

Virgo
August 24- September 23
Getting the balance right is something that is often on your mind and this week is no exception. You should pay attention to your physical needs too and look after any health issues with alacrity! Emotionally you need to make sure you have time to address your need for some time out and time to reflect.

Libra
September 24- October 23
This week begins a year full of hard work and responsibility and you can feel it right away! You just need to remember to pace yourself and get the rest you need. Do not rely on others to be there for you or help you in any way either as your close ones seem o have other things on their plates just now!

Scorpio
October 24-November 22
Life just seems like work, work, work right now. Do not despair by the end of the week more opportunity for fun start to arrive and it just keeps getting better! You will be pleased with monetary rewards coming your way as a result of all that hard work too! There are a lot of enjoyable things to spend it on.

Sagittarius
November 23- December 21
The last few days of December are still uneasy for you and some stress is unavoidable. The place to go for satisfaction, inner joy and personal fulfilment seems increasingly to be the family nest! Questions about who is and who is not a true and good friend arise once again this week and the trend continues for some time.

Capricorn
December 22- January20
The end of December has some potential for disagreements and conflict. January is definitely better and gives you an opportunity to shine! The Full moon suggests that you take the time to focus on making relationships deeper and stronger. The 5th is great for communication and sorting out previous misunderstandings.

Aquarius
January 21- February 19
You are probably tired and exhausted by all the activity around you these past few weeks. There are still surprises and chaos still abounds so it’s best to lay low and take time for rest and recuperation as the New Year begins! Relationships are better though and communication is satisfying.

Pisces
February 20 March 20
Finally you feel that life has more to offer than difficulty and confusion! It’s the beginning of a much more fortunate phase for you guys! The Full moon can be a tad intense though and feelings of love and attraction can zoom into overdrive! Be careful here because this may be an illusion and not the real thing!
