Astral Meanders September 26-October 2

 

In general: This week the Sun and Uranus’ are in difficult aspect to Pluto. Old arguments and bitterness could surface. Be ready to listen to what others have to say on the days around the 27th! Some of us will be inclined to overdramatize life under the vigorous influence of the independent Aries Full Moon on the 30th. However breakthroughs and insights are also likely. This moon stresses that we should face our fears directly. The Full moon this month is a most potent event creating an urgency and restlessness that demands change in any area of life where we are not living genuinely. October ought to bring an opportunity for new wealth and new sustenance, making it easier to relax. If you are having a birthday this week then you should embrace changes that make for a more authentic you and let go of the past in order to embrace the new. On the world scene old issues resurface but things are not as dire as they at first seem, but folk will need to be open to the truth. Locally meditate for insights.

Thought for the week: Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide. ~Napoleon Bonaparte

Aries

The Full Moon on the 30th aligns with Uranus in your sign, and this can produce surprises and deviations from the planned course of action, however you are wanting change now so this should help. New and interesting friendships will be made. To be prepared all you need to do is keep your options open, and expect the surprising.

Taurus

The energy can be explosive this week especially on the 26th-29th. Something from the past can suddenly appear and cause some anxiety. Ultimately though, its purpose is to free your up of leftover baggage from the past. Deal with whatever arises so that you can put it all behind you and breathe.

Meditation Moments:  Meditation to help at work….

Meditation, whether it's accomplished for one hour or one minute, is a healthy way to lower your heart rate and counter stress. It can also be used to improve your focus and bring mindfulness to the things that sincerely matter to you. Plan to use one-minute meditations at work as frequently as you can for a quick escape and as a tool to help you deal with stress, increase efficiency and become invigorated. You can do the following exercise in one minute any time or place in the day…….

Take a slow breath in/As you are breathing in, tighten all your muscles from your toes to your head/.Hold your breath and the tightness for at least 5 seconds/Starting with your head, release the muscle tightness slowly as you breathe out/End this Calming Breath by sighing and gently smiling./Breathe normally for at least 5 breaths/say a small affirmation something like, I am alive, alert, awake, enthusiastic!

Enjoy the day!
