astral meanders 4-10 may 2011

In General: Early May has the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter in Aries. To top it off Venus and Mars are in conjunction. Everything we do during this phase is likely to be big, expansive and intense! With Saturn also very active we are likely to feel the weightiness of responsibility. Certainly we will not be able to shirk our commitments! The 9th has mercury and Venus in conjunction which suggests an idyllic time for creative activity, whether it's redecorating, taking good pictures and movies, partaking in a creative pastime or whatever, the results will be spectacular! If you have a birthday this week then it’s a big and important year ahead for you! The arts and creative ventures are particularly favoured. On the world scene expect large events to keep us occupied with lots of that sometimes aggressive, sometimes spectacular Mars energy about! This is not a week for the timid! Locally it’s an excellent time to appreciate the beauty of this magnificent place in which we live!

Quote of the week: There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way. Christopher Morley

Aries
March 21- April 20
You are feeling extremely energised this week. This can work for you or against you, depending on how you handle that fiery Aries temper! Things may have been a little difficult of late and you might have felt like it was hard to walk a straight line, but all of that should change as of this week, so go for it!

Taurus
April 21-May 21
You are beginning to come into your astride and as this week unfolds into the rest of the month, you will feel even more happy with the way things are going. Just try not to push people too hard and that includes yourself! Your personal confidence is heightened now and it helps you to be more assertive and decisive than usual too.

Gemini
May 22-June 21
You still need to be wary of taking on too much! It’s a time of many demands, but you can prioritise and say no if need be! There may be deadlines and demands on your time that your just cannot meet, so try to plan ahead to avoid any problems. Physical energy levels can be low at this time so it’s important to take this into consideration.

Cancer
June 22- July 23
The demands of others may make you want to hide in your cave this week! In fact this might be a good idea as you need time to replenish your energy and give yourself a little nurturing. You are beginning to be attracted to more unusual areas of work and life in general at the moment. You might want to pursue a new direction.

Leo
July 24- August 23
Put your heart into everything you do and reap the rewards now! It is the start of a wonderful new career path for you guys and you are due to shine brightly. Things that will boost your confidence are likely to occur now and all in all it’s a great time for you guys. You are starting a long term cycle of general increase and greater social status.
Virgo

August 24- September 23
It’s time for a little financial overhaul or the very least a little rearranging of your financial goals. You are still likely to feel a little withdrawn and anti social this week, but this will change later in the month. Educational opportunities and travel may surprise this week and well into the month, take a leap of faith!

Libra
September 24- October 23
Pushing yourself at the moment is actually counterproductive! Saturn is asking you guys to hold, off the big moves and decisions for a while and to give yourself a little reflective and rest time. Before you decide to say yeas, be sure that it is something you are totally committed to as things have a way of changing now! Others will not be ready to accommodate your scattered energy! Be patient with yourself!

Scorpio
October 24-November 22
The tensions of the past week are beginning to clear and you are feeling more comfortable with life again. Overall energy may be a bit low this week, but it is gaining and by late next week you will feel brighter and more energised again! The work environment is pleasing at the moment and co-workers are apt to appreciate you more than usual.

Sagittarius
November 23- December 21
It’s an excellent week for clearing up unfinished business and organising your life and things. Some things will certainly no longer allow themselves to be ignored!! Something you really want is just around the corner, be alert to opportunity. Be patient and don’t ruffle feathers by unnecessary hasty comments.

Capricorn
December 22- January20
Nice loving energy is available for you guys this week so make the most of it! Enjoy times with intimate others and do things with the family. You are experiencing a kind of regeneration of self and will want to redefine some things about yourself and your personal goals now. Others are willing to help so accept gracefully.

Aquarius
January 21- February 19
It’s important to make time for those you love this week. No matter how busy or demanding your schedule, find some space for a little down time of relaxation and intimacy. This is necessary for your psychological well being. You also need to let go of some resentments and issues from the past, but it might not be easy!

Pisces
February 20 March 20
The general energy is great for communication this week, so if you have something to say then now is the time to say it. Your energy is increasing and you are up for anything that helps to organise and restructure your life. Artistic and creative or innovative endeavours are highly favoured at this time.
