astral meanders Feb 26-March 6

In general: The first few days of March might be problematic. Mercury and Venus will be pushing against Saturn, and the Sun will be poorly aspected to Mars. Some of us could find it tough to communicate and to concentrate. There may well be squabbles and resentment around, and many will feel that responsibilities and obligations are overwhelming around Sunday, March 4th. However March 5th should change all of this with a new feeling of preparedness and a reinvigorated view of the world. With Mercury joining forces with Uranus and Venus inspiring Neptune very little negative influences and some massively positive astrological aspects flow into the rest of March. If your birthday is this week then it will be a good year, but one with attention to responsibilities as well as all the upbeat stuff! On the world scene it is a mixed energy, of nasty bickering on the one hand and some very positive outlooks as well. Change at the source of things is likely. Locally be happy see the beauty in all the wonderful people and opportunity around you.

Thought for the week: Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. Carl Jung

Aries
New projects and ideas are still thrilling you with possibilities! You are enjoying the changes fresh ideas bring to your life. New adjustments to the life plan are very likely now and this will excite you rather than overwhelm you! Just be patient with those around you who might need a little more time to adjust.

Taurus
Venus enters Taurus on march 6th bringing some of the pleasures of Venus in its natural home, like feeling more effective and capable and being noticed in a positive way both romantically and in the work place. It’s a time to be seen and to enjoy being seen so just be happy with the attention and go with the flow!

Gemini
Old issues have a way of returning to you now and will require your attention. In arguments with others be ready to embrace the other party’s point of view and their feelings. It’s time to tie up loose ends and get clarity on those projects that seem complex and confusing. Do some re thinking and research where needed.

Cancer
You can gather some helpful support from others now and this will put you on track for the rest of March. Get practical and get your dreams back into gear, it’s a positive time and all systems will be go, once we hit the full moon early next week so be prepared. In other words know what you want and how to go about getting it and do it!

Leo
It can be an up and down week but do stay positive because even that which seems challenging will bring a silver lining your way! Be aware that spur of the moment ideas may need to be re-thought as these will have a tendency towards the impractical! It’s time for planning and research but not really time for action.

Virgo
It’s wise to guard against misunderstandings this week. It’s a good time to review things, get perspective and make solid plans but it’s not your best opportunity for activity or beginning projects. You can make excellent progress if you stick to the fundamentals and yes, planning again. Build a foundation!

Libra
You are entering a playful and peaceful period where you can really enjoy the little things in life like cooking and gardening! There is a deepening and growing understanding of your life journey now and you are learning to understand yourself better. A good deal of healing is taking place on many levels for you.

Scorpio
This is a fated, joyous and successful time for you guys! Friends will surprise you in the nicest possible way and lovers will bring support and happiness into your life. Great financial returns are on their way and you are laying are ground work now. It’s a fortuitous time with many benefits and many more to come.

Sagittarius
An inspiring and positive glimpse of the future is afforded this week and it makes you smile! The 4th March can be challenging but it is transient so do not let this get you down. If you have some of wonderfully innovative Sagittarian ideas now then write them down for later as many of them will be workable!

Capricorn
Home and family needs take up a good deal of your precious time now. However, helpful folk and exciting new friendships and contacts are also on the cards. There are some fated events at this time and lots of brand new areas are opening up for you. See this time as a work in progress because it’s not until April that you really see where the present events will lead you. It all looks pretty good though.

Aquarius
It is a more sensitive and emotional time than is usual for you guys at the present moment. You are surrounded by a lot of dysfunctional individuals at this time but it is because you have the tools needed to help out. Use your innate patience to cope with the events that seem chaotic and unpredictable this week.

Pisces
It’s a week full of wonderful potential and extremely positive energy. There are some quite extraordinary moments now which inspire and focus your drive in the nicest way! Yet financial issues are still a bit challenging and pushy folk can make it seem harder than it needs to be. Focus on the good stuff.

Astral Peeks: colour
The Zodiac signs each have a representative colour that evokes the mood of the sign. I.e. Aries, Scarlet –red: evokes the state of assertiveness, excitement, frankness and delight, which is the impulse of energy, passion, and ardour. Taurus, yellow-green: liberates and evokes the impression of nature, enchantment and affection. Green is defensive and cautious, a feminine colour of the insight of nature and hope. Gemini, orange-yellow: inclines to interaction, concentrated research and vibrancy. An open, youthful, joyful colour. Cancer, light emerald: in comparison with the green of Taurus, this is cooler, more emotionally unstable, outwardly passive, eccentric and pensive. It reflects the feeling of vulnerability. Leo, deep orange: This is the warmest, the most agreeable and positive colour, reflecting the balance of will and possibility. It guarantees, supports, and arouses and inclines to embrace space. Virgo, grey: it confines, defuses, analyses, and allocates. It is the colour of modesty, renunciation, exactness and outlook. Libra, lemon: it is light, cautious, unpredictable, and attractive. This shade is less concentrated, than the bright yellow colour of Gemini, more fixed, modest and harmonic. Scorpio, Dark red: the colour of emotional overload, passion, power, dominance, demand, pain and strained temper. It is erotic and evokes instincts. Sagittarius, ultra marine blue: A spiritual colour that gives inner assurance, interest in the mundane experience, also the colour of faith and religion, tradition, constancy and harmony. Capricorn, brown-black: reality and conservatism, stability, focus, work, silence and ambitions. Black is the most intent colour - the colour of protest, judgement. It does not reflect the light and creates the feeling of rigidity, seriousness, density, and darkness. Aquarius, light blue: It embraces dreams and endeavours of the supernatural. Blue is the colour of thought and fantasy, it is the most distant and cold colour, needing movement, change and travelling. Pisces, lilac-violet: colour of inner contradictions and despondency, mystery, melancholy, purity. Violet is the deep colour of fascination, mystic and mysterious, incomprehensible. It has a deep suppressing influence on the psyche, hypnotic and meditative.

Meditation Moments: affirmations

The things you tell yourself on a regular basis are to be expected to become your reality? It has been said all that we are is the result of what we have thought. For example, if you’re in the habit of telling yourself you’re no good at something it’s very likely you won’t be, because you’ve taught yourself to be that way by constantly giving yourself a negative message. Our beliefs create the behaviour to create the reality in which these beliefs come true.
Basically, negative ‘self-talk’ is a habit – a pattern of thinking we’ve established for ourselves over time. Using affirmations is a potent way to help halt old, unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and begin new, more desirable and positive ones. In a nutshell, the negative statements we use in self-talk slim our options, whereas affirmations increase our options for positive outcome, open doors and allow us to expand to our ideal potential.
When Using Affirmations
• Say your declaration in the present tense
• Let go of your rational mind
• let the total you immerse in the words
• If any conflicts come in the form of unhelpful comments from your rational mind: notice them and let them go; breathe into any feelings or emotional states with an attitude of compassion and respect.
