astral meanders 19-25 September 2012

 

In general: This week begins on a somewhat chaotic and challenging note.  Anything that is not serving you well now will become extremely evident and will be pushed away from you, and that is not always an easy procedure. I would suggest individuals keep their agendas light and aim to be well rested and in good physical shape, to belter deal with any unforeseen occurrences. Life should begin to improve by Friday, September 21st, fittingly on the UN International Day of Peace. The spring Equinox occurs on September 22nd when the Sun also enters Libra. Again the energy is relatively harmonious. Our lives should begin to unruffle, and it will be an exceptional weekend for spiritual influences and meditation. It does of course contain the nearly exact square between Uranus and Pluto which suggests plenty of shifts and changes as the old continues to be replaced by the New. If you have a birthday this week then the year ahead is a real clean out year! Priorities and values will be honed! On the world scene ait can be a chaotic week with more crime, accidents and sudden complex happenings than usual. Locally enjoy the new beginnings heralded by spring.

Thought for the week: You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Author Unknown

Aries

Some of the changes you experience this week are t the ones you want and September 19 and 21 may remind you of this more than you would like. Be open, keep smiling and things will improve quite quickly. It's vital to include others rather than to go solo for now. However, bending too much to the will of another is not recommended either.

Taurus

 The 20^th is actually an exceptional day for you guys. You reap the benefits of great teamwork. You have stress-free access to your intuition and a magnetic quality to your style now. You take more interest in your working environment and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and skill.

Gemini

In general an inspirational path lies ahead for you Gemini as pleasant Venus aspects make this week special. Enjoying and improving your home will be very fulfilling as will love relationships. Jupiter keeps you in a positive, forward-looking frame of mind. Affection this month is largely in the head. You feed your friendships with communication.

Cancer

This time indicates an especially full, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For instance, you might take work home or find that people drop by your household often during this cycle. You are more ready to take little risks and you are competitive in an approachable way. In your enthusiasm to take control, try to be sensitive of others' needs.

 

Leo

The ability to express and communicate your ideas is very important to you at this time. You are keen to explore new things. It's a perfect time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your propensity is toward intellectual objectivity now. Chatting, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle anxiety.

Virgo

Security is a driving force for you at this time, and you might discover that you are particularly interested in accruing possessions. You’ve likely had difficulties with your loved ones, now things should begin to even out with things subtly shifting to where they should be. You could be presented with a great new opportunity.

Libra

With The Sun entering your sign on September 22nd, you feel comfortable in your own skin and want to be true to yourself. You have good energy, feeling robust and vital. You feel more enthusiastic and want to attempt new things. You might have a realization about something in your life, or resolve a former issue.

Scorpio

You do your best mental work when you’re alone, away from everyone else now. You’d rather be in the background than in the limelight, and put more emphasis towards your dreams and intuition. You may feel extra drained being around people, and want more time alone to recharge. A health issue you’ve been struggling with might find a solution.

Sagittarius

You feel at your most relaxed when you’re with your friends or in a group. You may even join a new group or make new connections. You could take up a new cause or work towards a dream for your future. You could feel much more inspired by your emotions and creativity will be heightened as a result.

Capricorn

Beware that any over-reaction this week is a very bad idea. These are times when cardinal signs in general are under pressure. However if you make a point of Saying No to power struggles at home or at work on these days, then your world will remain calm. You may get some  recognition for all  your hard work.

Aquarius

You don’t want to be cornered or stuck in a box now and want to explore. You feel more adventurous, optimistic, and animated. Recently you’ve had many endings to endure and you need to let these things really go to make things better for you, especially when it comes to issues from the past.

Pisces

You take things more earnestly now, and when you become interested in something, you become infatuated with it, needing to know as much as possible. It’s a good time for doing research into anything as a consequence! It’s also a good time for dealing with your health and trying to get healthier.

 

Astral Peeks: Spring Equinox

September 23 marks the Libra Ingress, better known as the Spring Equinox in the southern hemisphere. At 0.49 am Australian Eastern Standard Time the Sun will move into the sign of Libra and be exactly overhead at the equator.

The Equinox marks the time when day and night are of equal length and it is the turning point that marks the time when the daylight begins to prevail over the darkness [in the Southern hemisphere, reverse if you live north of the equator]. From this point forward the days will grow longer as the Sun gains power and strength. It is time to let go the darkness of winter and embrace the fertility of spring. This is a powerful time for ritual and meditation that can offer us wisdom, inspiration and guidance. The equinox portal is open for about 24 hours either side of the exact moment.

 

Meditation Moments:  Spring Mediation.

Sit in a meditative position, spine straight, head upright, hands relaxing on the lap. Take a few moments to quiet the mind and slow the breath.
Visualize a beautiful, white flame in the centre of your being, increasing with every breath. Surround yourself in this lovely sphere of white light energy. Feel love, warmth, and healing shining from that white flame and permeating every cell in your body and spreading into your sphere of energy. Let it bring love to your heart and heal the core of your being. With your breath send this loving and healing light out upon the Earth, in order that it may heal and lift the spirit of all. Now bring your healing focus to your loved ones. Visualize the concentration of white light around each or all of them. Take a deep breath. Hold a moment. Breathe out and let go.
