astral meanders September 30- October 5

In General: On Thursday night, the Sun in Libra squares the Moon in Cancer; with the Venus semi-square Mercury on October 1 this suggest that intimate communications are likely to be superficial, unsatisfying, and possibly uncomfortable. Venus conjunct Mars October 2 makes the rest of the week an energetic, expressive and animated one. Individual creativity and the desire to create something beautiful are inspired options now. Relationships are emotional, and challenging or intense. Impulsive purchases are much more likely than usual. The Sun conjunct Saturn on the 1st Suggests that folk are taking things more than a little seriously. Think about lightening up a little! This sun conjunct saturn is also squared by a Quarter Moon in Cancer. As a result individual focus will be on responsibilities at work and obligations to those we love. This period suggests boring hard work, attention to small details and the general realities of life. If you have a birthday this week then get ready for a strong and practical year ahead. You should be prepared for hard work and focus! On the world scene the focus will be on serious discussion about serious issues! The environment is a likely issue for consideration now as is the arts and entertainment. Locally it’s an important time avoid overspending and an opportune time for taking care of details.

Aries
March 21- April 20
It’s a week in which you can achieve a lot provided you knuckle down and take it seriously! There appear to be more responsibilities and more time consuming obligations for you to tackle this week too! The issue is how you get the relaxation you need and keep a balanced approach to it all!

Taurus
April 21-May 21
It’s a great week and the beginning of a time in which you reconnect with those you love in a deep and meaningful way! Folk you have not seen for some time are back in the picture too. You should be feeling more confident and energetic than usual too! It’s a time for you to shine brightly so go to it!

Gemini
May 22-June 21
You have done some excellent recapping of your life and place in the world of late and now have a better handle on your work and home life balance. Just be careful about how you relate your needs and feelings to others this week as they may not be on the same wave length as you! Early this week arguments are very possible!

Cancer
June 22- July 23
Old power struggles or issues that you thought had been dealt with earlier can rear their heads this week and cause you some strife. You are advised to focus your energy on the home and family instead and do some gentle self-nurturing. This is shaping up to be a serious month so now is a great time for getting your head and heart in shape.

Leo
July 24- August 23
Friends and associates seem more than ever to be important to you guys. You will be appreciative of all the help and support you receive from them this week. Finances are more in order than they have been for a while but still be careful around the 1st as things can slide into disarray very quickly!

Virgo
August 24- September 23
Finally communication is working positively for you guys! It has been a long time coming! You still need to be careful around the 1st and 2nd as arguments can flare up quite quickly! Use your skills of knowing what not to say now! The 4th starts a positive financial phase so this should please you considerably.

Libra
September 24- October 23
The early part of the week can be an emotional whirlpool for many of you. Just stay calm and breath and all will be fine when you come out of it on the 3rd! This is actually the start of a cleansing and healing phase that will see you making a fresh start on many levels this month. Practice compromise now.

Scorpio
October 24-November 22
Your energy which is generally more intense than most of us ever experience will be full to bursting this week! Your full emotional agenda can make life a little complicated this week and certainly complicated well into the rest of this month! In your communications with others try to take the path of least resistance and learn the art of compromise.

Sagittarius
November 23- December 21
You are hanging quietly onto some big ideas and plans but this is not the time to see things happening! After the 8th is your time to fly and move forward so again just be patient! Taking care of details and looking after all the little practicalities is especially important for you now so let your focus rest here.

Capricorn
December 22- January20
You are by nature a hard worker, but now is the time to think about working smarter and giving yourself a little break from all the tedious effort you usually put in to things. The 1st is an excellent day for you guys and can do wonders for your profile and the support you can expect from co-workers.

Aquarius
January 21- February 19
The time for movement, action and adventurous exploration is now! You are beginning a time for personal growth and lots of exciting opportunity. Work and career are emphasised this week and well into October so it’s wise to put your personal focus there too. October 1st offers creative enterprises and excitement.

Pisces
February 20 March 20
You are feeling inspired and excited this week. Just be prepared for a feisty and slightly edgy time during the 1st-3rd of October. It can really test your mettle! Any unfinished business or things that have been less adequately dealt with will show up now and demand your attention. Details are important now.
