astral meanders 28 june-5th July

In General: There will be a partial Solar Eclipse at the New Moon on July 1st in Cancer. This eclipse also forms a grand cross with the planets Pluto, Uranus and Saturn. This is the most potent time of the year to plant intentions that support family and nurturing loved ones, and an excellent time to get over old grumbles. If matters related to fiscal security have been problematic then now is the time for a new start. This is a week to truly start breaking down the old structures of your life, getting out of your habitual groove, face some fears and come into your true power and potential. If this is your birthday week then expect it to be a big, busy and bold time and look forward to moving ahead with speed in the year to come. On the world scene this week will be a big one with lots happening across the globe! Political drama and financial melt downs are likely. Locally it will be an especially trying time politically.

Quote of the week: If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~Author Unknown

Aries:
This may be a jam packed busy week but the best advice for you guys is to find a way to take it slow! Considered actions will reap good rewards but anything done on the fly will give you trouble. Practice tact, caution and patience. Being hot headed will also cause bigger problems than you’d like!

Taurus:
Communication is not always an easy thing for you guys but it is getting a big helping hand at present. There is a lot happening for you and may feel a little rushed along by the tide of events! Overall this begins a very positive phase for you guys with lots to smile about and lots of indulgent goodies to enjoy!

Gemini:
This period makes you question your approach to life and can see you get on top of health issues and diet related problems. You will also be thinking about building up your resources and dealing with old debt. This is a good thing and you will feel more able to cope with life when these things are in order.

Cancer:
It’s a challenging week for you guys and that’s for sure! You need to be on top of your game so get plenty of rest and eat well. Listen to your intuition for answers and to know where to protect yourself. Others may try to influence you against your wishes but it is best to hold your ground and be definite.

Leo:
It’s time to step back from the bustle a little and reconnect with yourself and those you love. Massage, meditation, reflection will all give you a much needed boost so consider indulging yourself a little. If health problems have been on your mind then now is the time to really get on top of them.

Virgo:
It is important to pay attention to the little details now. This is where you can make or break the projects you are focused upon. It can be a very beneficial time with many positive opportunities but again it is the small details that can trip you up. Someone can behave badly around you in the latter part of this week. Ignore them.

Libra:
Relationships are the focus this week and you can clearly see where problems lie and where the good points are. Be careful that you do not judge pothers too harshly now! Your best course of action is to stand back from the thick of things and watch and listen! This way you can also avoid saying something you might later regret.

Scorpio:
You are being pushed to get more communicative this week and actually talk about your feelings and thoughts! Sharing with others will open up a world of useful insight that you don’t want to miss out on. Work is also featured now and it’s an opportunity for you to really enjoy what you are doing just for the sake of it!

Sagittarius:
Keep those plans and ideas small this week or you could wind up being disappointed! Others are just not ready for all you have to offer! Others in fact are apt to be especially difficult this month so trying to get them on side will not work. In other words, play a back seat game for now and wait for your time to shine.

Capricorn:
People will be a little unpredictable this week, but don’t let it get to you! There is plenty of positive energy about so just focus on you! Plans are likely to change and there is all sorts of rescheduling about for you! So just smile and be flexible. Getting high and mighty will not work for you now.

Aquarius:
Try to get your health and fitness back on track this week as you will just feel out of sorts if you don’t. Your energy levels are likely to be an all time low so you need to look after yourself. You have the possibility of a new and rewarding romantic phase as long as you keep that judgmental tongue of yours in place!

Pisces:
The world around you can seem a little chaotic this week and in turn your emotions will make you seem all over the place to others. However, practical details and a drive towards a more secure future are definitely on your mind and whilst you seem to drift in and out of reality you are actually getting some order of action worked out!

Astral peeks:
On Monday morning an Asteroid named MD 2011 will have passed as close as 12,000 k’s (32 times closer than the Moon) to Antarctica. It will pass through satellites as it does, giving Australian and New Zealand astronomers the chance to glimpse it through modest telescopes. Perth time that will be 9.30 pm, Adelaide around 11pm and Sydney time about 11.30 pm.
Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory was quoted by ABC News,
"The closeness of 2011 MD is a reminder to people that events on Earth have the potential to be shaped by asteroids - 'like the annihilation of the dinosaurs'."
It reminds us of our reality "in an environment littered with debris of this kind, which is actually the leftovers of the solar system's formation about 4.6 billion years ago," he said.
Astronomers are now keeping a close eye on an asteroid called Apophis, which will come very close to the Earth in 2029, Watson said. "In 2029 there is one that will pass very close to the Earth but probably won't hit the Earth. But depending on how near the Earth it goes, it might be deflected into an orbit that will take it onto a collision course, probably in the 2030s."

Meditation Moments:
Ways to de-stress
•Be Flexible.
Be willing to listen to other's opinions and compromise if possible. If you're willing to give a little, the other person may do the same.
•Take Time-Outs. Schedule time to do the things you enjoy.
•Exercise. Twenty to 30 minutes of some type of exercise may relieve that extra tension and stress.
•Lead a Healthy Lifestyle. Good nutrition can make a difference. The fuel you eat will influence the way you feel.
•Communicate. Share feelings, talk. You may not be the only one having a bad day.
•Get a Massage. What a great way to release the stress of a hectic day and reinforce the benefits of "the power of touch."
•Be Realistic. If you feel overwhelmed by some activities, learn to say no!
•Don't Look Too Far Ahead. "Take one thing at a time." Little steps are a lot easier to take than one big leap.
