astral meanders 6-12 June 2012

In general: On June 6 watch out for a rare transit of Venus across the Sun which will not happen again for 120 years. We also have outer planets squaring off this week beginning with Uranus and Pluto. Uranus and Pluto will be sustaining their square for the next five months, but we will get our first taste of it on June 10th and 11th, with Mercury lining up to create a T-square. Uranus can bring unexpected, startling events, and Pluto rules mistrustfulness. Add Mercury to the mix, and there could be some quarrels and accidents brought about by haste. Jupiter will be on the cusp between Taurus and Gemini during this time, and this might create impatience. Jupiter enters Gemini on June 11^th. Communications should be brighter overall; things in general should feel a little less solemn.  If you have a birthday this week then it will be a year of new ideas and new approaches. On the world scene we may see surprising things come about regarding education, communities, electronics or travel. Locally be prepared for the unexpected and take extra care whilst driving.

Thought for the week: Genius is nothing but a great aptitude for patience. ~George-Louis de Buffon

Aries

You may be having trouble winning the support you need for a personal plan this week but this is just not the right time. Next week will be better! There are challenges out there this week but you can handle them so do not despair. Try to take a breath before you turn your fiery self onto the world though!!

Taurus

There’s not a lot happening this week so just sit back and enjoy the ride! Finances may be the most surprising area of your life at the moment and this is good because some nice unforseen bonuses are coming your way!! It’s a good week to give thanks for the good things in your life and recent opportunities you have had.

 Gemini

This is a work and career week where all manner of good things are very possible! It may also be busy and demanding but it definitely is putting you in a better and more lucrative position. You can begin to make dreams a reality now. Just play it safe on the 6^th as this is most vulnerable day of your week.

Cancer

The 11^th and 12^th might be a little difficult for you guys but remaining strong and focused on your goal will get you through. If others are offering their help then now is good time to do something a little different from the Cancer norm and say yes, please do help me! Support is out there so take it and smile.

Leo

This week finds many folk around you very touchy! Be careful with your words and do some mindful listening instead! The end of the week is your best time with a nice new social outlook, and some collaborative plusses! Creativity is starting to get a pleasant boost from the expansive and bountiful Jupiter too.

Virgo

Career is nicely highlighted with a greater sense of fulfilment likely. You may be feeling a little bossier and more forthright than usual but this will help get you what you want! Just do be careful that you don’t alienate those who would serve as good allies for you! It’s a busy week in a busy month!

Libra

As you near the end of the week you might need to pay more attention to what you say and to who,  as you are very likely to be easily annoyed by others! Your usual tact and diplomacy are missing at the moment! You might want to consider doing something nice for yourself for a change too as you need some self-nurture now.

Scorpio

If you focus on personal projects and really put some energy into them now you will see some excellent results in late June! Don’t lose momentum because things seem to be going slow at the moment. Enthusiastic and creative energy keeps you buoyant and gets you on top of your game once again.

Sagittarius

It’s a powerful time for you guys and continues to be so for the entire month of June. You should find this time almost fated and you will connect with people and projects that have a karmic ring to them. So much can be achieved now and indeed this week si the beginning of much more of the same.

Capricorn

It’s time to rest up and get your energy back to where it usually is! The 9^th and 10^th are star days and something or someone will restore your faith in the world! Things have been hectic and overwhelming of late and it’s high time for a little relaxation and down time so be kind to yourself if you can!

Aquarius

Creativity and relationships are well highlighted now. Everything seems to be very quickly!!  You may need to make a real effort to catch your breath.  Overall it’s a feel good week and you should prepare to enjoy the ride. Travel and education are both looking prominent. Make the most of opportunities.

Pisces

It’s important to use this time to take care of loose ends and get some order back into your life Pisces! Things will get speedy and busy after the 12^th so this is the last chance for easily organising yourself this year. Remember others are more than willing to help! Its important to access this help where you can.

Meditation Moments:  What is Sanskrit?

In the words of Professor Ram Karan Sharma: “Sanskrit is one of the oldest surviving members of the Indo-European family of languages, characterized by its uninterrupted continuity for at least the last six thousand years. It is not confined to any region, any religion, any one philosophical school or race or caste.”

A unique characteristic of the Sanskrit language is its exact pronunciation which is found in five locations in the mouth. Each sound or syllable is located at one of the five positions. The beauty of the sound is directly linked to the sensing of the vibrations created when intoning as little as a single letter of the Sanskrit alphabet. The Sanskrit vehicles for chanting are sacred prayers or hymns called mantras. Many of them are thousands of years old and are regarded as an auspicious means of communicating with one’s chosen deity.
