In general: We will have a “blue” Full Moon on the
last day of August, in the sign of Pisces. A Pisces full moon is all about the
depths of the water element and suggests lots of deeply felt emotional issues
and interactions. September kicks off with Mercury at a standoff to Neptune.
Mars will be annoying the already difficult Pluto-Uranus energy, and Venus will
be in difficult aspect to Saturn. It’s obviously not going to be one of our
easiest moments this year! Many of us will not be thinking clearly, and some
unfortunately will do or say some regrettable things towards others. If you
have a birthday this week then prepare yourself for an emotionally charged
year, and think before you act, please. On the world scene its volatile…locally
you may like to meditate.
Thought for the week: The greatest weapon against
stress is our ability to choose one thought over another. ~William James
Aries
You can build friendships early on this week. Success
should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the connection
between your body and your mind, is in focus. Life’s
less desirable responsibilities claim more of your attention now. You can cope
with this by taking the time to relax, go for a walk and distress.
Taurus
Show off the best you! You want others to take
notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you now. You could be a bit of an attention getter at this
time. You are likely tom be feeling good in general, and you are inclined to
spread the happiness. Pleasure and enjoyment play a vital role in your quest
for personal freedom.
Gemini
Besides spending more time paying attention to
domestic affairs, the emphasis is on nurturing and nourishing your inner self
and supporting your growth, this week. You have more energy for work and play.
Daily routines tend to speed up now too. This may be a demanding time with
neighbours, siblings, friends and community matters.
Cancer
This full moon is an intense one for Cancerians. You
may feel that old issues are heating up again. Your life picks up pace
considerably. The facility to express and communicate your ideas is very
important to you at this time. You are keen to explore new things. You might have a finger in many pies right now.
Leo
Extravagance is something you may want to look out
for this week. The focus
is on you and your ability to lead and organise! Take steps to increase how well
you come across to others now. It's an excellent time to forge ahead. This may also be a restless time when it is hard to
turn the thought processes off!
Virgo
You are likely to need a certain amount of solitude
in order to get your thoughts composed or to be mentally creative. You are less
likely to chat at length during this time and tend to be a little mysterious. You
will more easily get in touch with a real sense of your uniqueness and purpose
this week.
Libra
The desire to take charge of your income and to be more
self-reliant governs your actions now. The way to your heart will be a practical
one at this time; you're most interested in dependability and security than you
are in elaborate attentions from others. Your temperament
is contemplative. Rest, relax and reflect.
Scorpio
It’s a fast paced week .Powerful friends and allies
are forming in your life and will support you in times to come. This is a time
to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant the seeds you want to grow for
the future. You are able to stand your ground
and affirm yourself more than is usual at this time too.
Sagittarius
Ambitions are stirred this week, but your energy
levels may not be up to par. Spending time with your family should revitalise
you. You may also be a little more scattered than usual, missing appointments
and displaying other forms of forgetfulness now. Remember to double check schedules.
Capricorn
Positive encounters and good company are highlighted
this week. You will achieve a lot now and in early September, especially
September 3rd and 4th. Money matters move forward. You
are able to acquire the loan, backing, or resources that you need. The best way to accomplish your goals now is to
work as a part of a team, or do some networking.
Aquarius
The final few
days of August are excellent for money matters, especially novel money-making
ideas. This
can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business. At the very
least it’s a great time to lay the ground work for something new in your life. Social
activities will revolve around your working environment.
Pisces
This is a strong
time for personal appeal and charisma. Emotions are as full and intense as the
Moon in your sign at the end of the month. It’s time to come out of your shell
and become more aggressively involved with others and embrace different
experiences. It's
vital to include others in your life now.
Astral Peeks: Blue Moons
A blue moon
is the second full moon in a calendar month. For a blue moon to occur the first
of the full moons must appear at or near the beginning of the month so that the
second will fall within the same month (the average span between two moons is
29.5 days). The full Moon on Aug. 31, 2012, is this type of full moon; it will
be the second full moon in one month.
An
older definition for Blue moon, states that the blue moon is the third full
moon in a season that has four full moons. Some years have an extra full
moon—13 instead of 12. Since the identity of the moons was important in the
ecclesiastical calendar (the Paschal Moon, for example, used to be crucial for
determining the date of Easter ), a year with a 13th moon skewed the calendar,
since there were names for only 12 moons. By identifying the extra, 13th moon
as a blue moon, the ecclesiastical calendar was able to stay on track.
Meditation Moments: Staying well with Meditation.
Meditation can
boost our immune system and improve our mental health according to scientists.Researchers
from Harvard University and Justuc Liebig Univeristy discovered that the mediation
and mindfulness have various health benefits and can be used as an effective
clinical treatment.
Key findings,
published in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science, revealed that
meditation can lead to an improved immune function, reduced blood pressure and
enhanced cognitive function.
Lead researcher Dr. Britta Hazel, said that the aim of
the study, was to 'unveil the conceptual and mechanistic complexity of
mindfulness.'They concluded that there are four key components of the practice
that could attribute for its beneficial affects including attention regulation,
body awareness, emotion regulation, and sense of self: see the following if you
