Astral Meanders 7-13 September 2011

In General: The 12th is Full Moon time again and this month our Pisces Full Moon is amicably connected to Mars in Cancer so we should have no difficulty standing up for the things and the people we love. This Full Moon also creates a grand cross with the north and south nodes, so it will become important for us to learn from the past, in discovering the correct way to go forward. At the same time Mercury makes a constructive Grand Earth Trine with Jupiter and Pluto. This gives us all an unrestrained and powerful outlook that will take our ideas and show us ways in which to put them into practice. As a result this is a fine time for taking practical action to improve our careers, business or finances. Overall it’s a great month for clarity and direction we just need to be careful of being too critical of ourselves or others. If your birthday falls this week then expect to have a year of closure on old issues, learning from the past and forging ahead with strength! On the world scene it is a week where old issues can help to show us the way forward, and where thoughts can be put into action, however, too much of a critical voice and too much of an idealists approach can undo this good energy if folk are not careful! Locally take the time to look at yourself from a clear perspective!

Quote of the week: Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


Aries:
Your energy levels are set to increase as this week progresses! You should be feeling very amped up indeed! Your ability to charm with speech and obvious drive will be high! It’s a great time to get ahead with projects and get others on board to help you! There are many tasks to complete now and lots to keep your energy all fired up!

Taurus:
With Jupiter in your sign at the moment it’s an excellent opportunity to go out there and get the things you want! Luck is definitely on your side right now so be sure to make good use of it! The Full moon provides you with much needed energy to get things happening and get on top of old things that you have been avoiding!

Gemini:
You are at an important turning point and many of your past interests and concerns will begin a period of change now. You are due to have a very different focus in the months ahead! You will be building on family and financial security and blazing a trail that lays firm foundations for your long term future.

Cancer:
Mars is still in Cancer giving you added strength and the ability to deal more effectively with life’s little stresses! The Full Moon on the 12th gives you a strong intuitive approach and will help you find solutions to any problems that arise now! Trust your inner wisdom and you will be fine!

Leo:
This is a bit of a hard reality week where you need to confront some issues head on! There are practical solutions so don’t worry too much, just remember that avoiding things now makes for bigger issues later! Don’t despair, more fun and play and an increased social life are on the way after this week!

Virgo:
With Mercury back in your sign this week you feel lighthearted and back on track! This plus a strong full Moon will give you plenty of energy and drive so you can achieve a lot now. Just watch the last few days this week as others seem to be rather emotional and over reactive, and this could be a problem.

Libra:
Take things at a manageable pace now, Libra as this is not your best energy time! Things can be demanding on the family front so it’s best not to plan too much or expect too much. Things are undergoing a transformation around you and you will see them all much more clearly as the week progresses.

Scorpio:
Your energy is more balanced and earthy now than usual so it’s a great opportunity to make long term plans and show those you love how much they mean to you! Being grateful for all of life’s little blessings (of which you have many just now!) will keep you positive and bring even more good things your way!

Sagittarius:
The 7th seems to be a challenging day for you guys but it is fleeting and things get better as the week progresses. Be your caring non-judgmental self at this time and all will be well. It can be tedious week as indeed is all of September with monotonous work and a modicum of boredom setting in.

Capricorn:
A good week overall with many things to smile about. There are many new plans and enjoyable social occasions in the pipeline too! This is a very special time for you guys! With Mercury back in Virgo this week you feel more motivated and driven towards your goals. Venus adds a touch of romance to the picture.

Aquarius:
It’s important that you keep your two feet firmly planted in reality this week. You may be inclined to overdo the help when is in need! Trying too hard to fix things for others can be a personal undoing. Communication is easier though and you feel more organized than usual so that’s a plus.

Pisces:
Mistakes, delays and other annoying irritations are well and truly on their way out now! The Full Moon in your sign in particular heralds a much more exciting and proactive phase for you that will have you smiling! It’s an excellent time to reflect on what and who are really important to you and what and who you no longer need in your life.

Astral peeks: What don’t they do??
Here is a list of what NOT to expect from the signs…Aries: Don’t expect an Aries to know when they are wrong, Taurus to stop eating cake or whatever other indulgence they are into, Gemini to be the silent partner, Cancer to let go of a hurt or slight easily, Leo to be in the background, Virgo to be in the limelight, Libra to go it alone, Scorpio to be complacent, Sagittarius to like restrictions, Capricorn to give up on anything, Aquarius to be like anyone else and Pisces to make sense all of the time!

Meditation Moments: Meditation quotes
Meditation is such a more substantial reality than what we normally take to be reality. Richard Gere
The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging, and other things slip away.
Harrison Ford
There are different things one can do to establish and hasten the peace process. Meditation is one way. Mike Love
