In general: The Full Moon on August 2,
2012 is in Aquarius. It has a trine to both Jupiter and Mars and a sextile to
Uranus. If any of you are planning or organizing anything then anticipate
having these plans altered. Individuals are encouraged to break
out of normal routines. We're more open at this phase, and embrace innovation, unconventionality,
and uniqueness. There is an overall feeling of optimism that may allow us to
breathe a little easier even whilst in the midst of a Mercury retrograde. If
you have a birthday this week then expect to feel good and enjoy life in the
year to come! Lucky you! On the world scene the general energy is fittingly
optimistic (great for the Olympics) and favours new inventions and unusual
ideas. Locally make it your business to do something differently this week.
Thought for the week: Of course I look at the glass
half full. The only time I would look at it half empty is when I think about
how good the first half tasted. ~Drew Deyoung
Aries
You should be having more fun than you are and it makes
you want to jump up and down with frustration! Hang in there, it will be getting
better, but sadly this week is another one for you to paste that smile firmly on
your face and grin and bear it a little! The full moon helps a dream come true.
Taurus
Venus enters Cancer late this week and the hard energy
seems to be shifting as a result. You should feel better equipped to share your
many mixed emotions with others and communicate your needs and desires. Career
change is on your mind and the full moon may inspire your new direction.
Gemini
That naughty Mercury retrograde has been making you
guys feel a little less than in control of things! You begin this month still in
a state of muddle. The full moon will help a little and something that has been
dragging on for a while should come to its natural end now. Breathe and take in
the freedom!
Cancer
You are feeling very self-absorbed this week, and
why not, you have been fussing over others for most of July! It’s time to renew
your sense of self, and spend some energy on hobbies and personal projects. It’s
a great week for just letting go! The full Moon however could be deep and
brooding one for you guys!
Leo
It’s not been the easiest of times for you guys, and
you are likely to be having some trouble getting your thoughts clear. Use this
week to get closer to those you love and don’t try to understand the ins and
outs of things. Get in touch with your feelings at the full moon and act on
instinct!
Virgo
The past has been having a grand field day with Virgo
and you may have been revisiting some very old ground. There is a general disquiet
within you this week that can be hard to shake. Get outside and spend time in nature
and going for walks to ground yourself. Meditation can help too!
Libra
This is a great period to move forward with creative
and artistic projects. However your energy could be a tad low so you will need
to work at keeping yourself focussed! The full moon this week can add even more
inspiration and allows you to think outside of your self- imposed square.
Scorpio
You can feel frustrated with career and a lack of opportunity
at the moment, but this is Mercury retrograde speaking to you! A new surge of
energy and forward motion is just around the proverbial corner so don’t despair!
Get deep and spiritual instead and find out what drives you as the full moon inspires
you!
Sagittarius
You may feel more than usually challenged by the
needs and demands of others at the moment! You may also be having trouble
getting your thoughts and beliefs out there in a way that they can be understood.
All of this adds up to a creative block for you. Let it go at the full moon and
be inspired.
Capricorn
The week begins with a very financially favourable
full moon. Close relationships should pick up as the week progresses. One on
one interaction is especially favoured. Business partnerships also look positive
this week and making a commitment to a shared project augers well for you now.
Aquarius
There are endless communication hassles for you at
the moment. You are not listening to others properly and they do not understand
you! Many of you will have ended a relationship or changed its boundaries and
may now be wondering fi you have done the right thing. It’s time to be honest
with yourself.
Pisces
You will be feeling an urge to clear out clutter and
get rid of the things holding you back in life! Just be cautious about how you
go about this as this is not your clearest thinking week! Get another opinion before
you make any hasty decisions. Secrets have a way of outing themselves this week
too.

Meditation Moments: Imbolg : Southern Hemisphere - 2nd August
This is a celebration of initiations and beginnings.
Imbolg literally means " in the belly ". It is the " quickening
" of the year, the stirrings of spring in the womb of our Mother Earth. At
Imbolg we dream, make plans and are inspired towards future achievements,
through poetry and love. At Imbolg, when the first heralds of spring can be
heard in bird song and seen in new growth, the spirit is inspired as well as
the body and the earth. Traditionally this was the time when all the candles
for the coming year were made - to symbolise the light coming out of the
darkness. A new tide of life is recognised and we are called to get rid of the
past and look to the future. The themes of cleansing and purification are
carried out in the action of spring cleaning, where we prepare our minds and
bodies for something new.We can consolidate the flame we kindled at yule and
begin to give it form in our lives. From now on we enter a time of growth and discovery!
Following are a few ideas for your own Imbolg
celebrations:
1. Light 3 candles for 3 dreams or wishes and place
these around your room. The first candle is a wish for the world, the second
for a friend, the third for yourself. This is a celebration of the 1st stirring
of the light in the world, in your life, in your dreams. 2. Spring clean, and
ritually sweep the floor with a brand new broom. Think about what you are
sweeping away from the world or your own life. What needs to go for new
creative possibilities to be realized? Fear, guilt, despair, prejudice,
deprivation, anger. 3. Plant new seedlings, fertilise older plants, bring
flowers into the house, above all nurture a positive attitude.
