astral meanders 10-16 February 2010

In General: With Mars still retrograde through Leo (a transit that began in late December 2009) you may have been working upon or at least confronted with, long held underlying grievances. Problems can no longer be overlooked when Mars is retrograde. Often individuals suffer from slight accidents, injuries or health issues that force them to slow down and review things. This week, ask yourself the question: “Am I being true to myself?” “Does my life lack sincerity?” Valentine’s Day coincides with the Chinese New Year on the 14th. Hot passion meets chilly steel with the arrival of the Chinese year of the Metal Tiger. This sign signifies both the energy to begin activity and the resolve to follow it through to the end. The New Moon is in Aquarius as well on February 14th. Treat this as a new beginning, a time to breathe vigor into an intention, to realign with your own body, to purify. Where relationships are concerned it’s a perfect time to tell those who matter just how much you love them. With the Moon in Aquarius, any commitments are likely to be around more liberty and equality within the relationship. If you have a birthday this week, then get ready for a year of new beginnings and revitalized romance! On the world scene expect old issues to rear their heads again, health issues in particular should come into news again. The New Moon can signal arrangements made between individuals and countries and these will be made with and intention for better equality and more trust.


Thought for the week: If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough. Ann Landers

Aries
March 21- April 20
This seems to be a more playful week for you guys and you can stop that inner work drive for a moment! This is a happy go lucky phase where goals are reached almost seamlessly! You feel drawn to sharing with loved ones and merging your soul with another. Creativity is favoured and there is a good deal to smile about.

Taurus
April 21-May 21
New opportunities that are outside of your normal choosing will present themselves late this week and you should give them more than a second thought! Anything to do with business affairs should be taken seriously and approached in the same way. Work continues to be demanding but also quite rewarding in many ways!

Gemini
May 22-June 21
Lots of small successes are due this week. You will be feeling more on track than of late! You are probably feeling a little restless however, and routine will bore you more than usual this week. Socially there are drawn to you and you are often in demand. You are most interested in spending time with competent folk who don’t need your input!

Cancer
June 22- July 23
Finally you feel as if you can exercise some control and personal power in relationships! You are more comfortable with your emotions and also with expressing them. You are also more intuitive at present and so should be listening to that inner voice of yours. Hunches are mostly correct at the moment.

Leo
July 24- August 23
Overall a week where the creative juices are flowing nicely! Relationship wise there is a lot of activity and its flavour depends upon how well you have been using your relationship energy of late. If you have been sharing resources and giving your loved one adequate attention then no need to worry! Otherwise you will definitely be hearing about it!

Virgo
August 24- September 23
It’s a smooth week except for the patch round the new moon. Then all your plans seem to go awry and the unexpected is the only thing you can expect! You are more concerned with health and general day to day routines than usual and are in a good head space to get on top of any little issues here.

Libra
September 24- October 23
This is a quiet time for you guys where you are able to catch up with family and friends and lay a few good foundations for events that will actually take place much later. Creativity is at a peak and should be the most satisfying of your accomplishments now. You may need more rest than usual so be attentive to this.

Scorpio
October 24-November 22
The new moon is a milestone for you guys and heralds a real new beginning, especially on the domestic front! This is a good thing because your energy and drive has been lacking a bit of late! After the new moon you feel more inspired and others are naturally drawn to your richly charismatic energy.

Sagittarius
November 23- December 21
Your energy is best spent giving those you love some attention now and nurturing your own inner needs too! The new moon is the start of really getting things done where new projects are concerned and finding solutions to old and outworn issues! Overall you seem busy with a myriad of little and sometimes irritating things!

Capricorn
December 22- January20
The 15th is very fortunate for you and begins a whole new social cycle for you. The 11th is also a taste of good things to come. Finally you can feel better about your relationships with others and they cease to disappoint. However, you are more resistant to change than usual now and might miss out because of this.

Aquarius
January 21- February 19
Your dreams are about to root and become a reality! This week and its attendant new moon begin what will be quite a visionary process for you guys. Confidence is increased, energy is good and health is at a positive peak. The 13th and 14th look good for finances too, perhaps a little surprise here, is in store!

Pisces
February 20 March 20
More joy will come to you when you tune into your inner spiritual self this week. There is good news around the 13th and you feel pretty good. You want and enjoy the company of others and very keen to be fare and appropriate in all your dealings. You make new friends easily during this time.
