Astral meanders 21-27 November 2012

 

In general: On the 21^st November the Sun enters Sagittarius. Enthusiasm and optimism are increased and our views take on a more expansive air! Venus moves into Scorpio on the 22^nd heightening our passions.Mercury will be turning direct again on November 26^th. When Mercury turns direct there could be travel delays and communication problems all over again for a day or two but this time we will have four  major planets, the Sun, Uranus, Venus, and Saturn, inspiring us to let go and have fun, regardless! If you celebrate a birthday this week then be assured that life will take a joyful turn this year ahead, although very little will run to plan! On the world scene, it seems like a week of confusion and yet despite the rumblings of discontent a feeling of optimism lingers! The fallout from the solar eclipse however may be felt with financial and environmental issues and of course the Middle East. Locally why not enjoy life and embrace some positivity.

Thought for the week: Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life. ~Rumi

Aries

With mars and Pluto busy, you can feel quite aggressive about things that done go according to plan! It’s wise to take a breath and slow down now, and be sure to think before you act! Anything that broadens you experience attracts now, just be sure not to lose touch with everyday responsibilities.

Taurus

You need to be careful of looking at things from an unrealistic viewpoint this week. Do try to stay earthed and see things as they really are. This week there will be extra attention lavished upon from a partner or significant other, and it’s definitely time to reciprocate this lolvely energy!

Gemini

It’s a really great week for Gemini. Focus on enjoying the journey. You may be focused on finding a good balance between personal and work life. You may also be looking at shared objectives within a relationship. It’s a busy time, with others gravitating to your charismatic energy!

Cancer

Your feelings can seem more intense than usual this week. You may have to work at stepping back and looking at things more objectively. You do not have much patience for sweeping things under the rug now and want to deal with issues openly and immediately. However, avoid major decisions now.

Leo

You can relax and find happiness in the small things now. There is a calming influence coming from the small pleasures in life.  During this week you can find joy in reconnecting with your inner child and just having fun! Others will appreciate this as you tend to spread the joy!

Virgo

You are in an energetically supportive phase. Everything should seem a little easier this week. It’s a great opportunity to give a little extra attention to your personal needs and to build some firm foundations for the future. Benefits can come through family and communications in general.

Libra

You need to be aware of overdoing things this week. Try to rest and keep a balance in your life Libra! Enjoyable, light-hearted social interaction is emphasised nicely during this time. You are especially focused or driven now; rather you have your energy dispersed in many directions.

Scorpio

Travel plans can be problematic now so give yourself some leeway. You may also need to be more cautious with your money as you feel more likely to overspend now; it’s hard to deny yourself! It’s a busy time of year of you, so it’s just as well you feel energetic an enthusiastic about things!

Sagittarius

Your energy levels are increasing. Others may feel you have unreasonable expectations of them however. Be careful here. An inner shyness can be irritating now and may feel as if you are holding back when you really want to come forward! You may need to find your spiritual self again!

Capricorn

You may feel a bit agitated now, and it would be wise to let go of things and relax a little. Venus is enlivening your social life and friendships, so make the most of this. It can be reinvigorating for you. Old acquaintances may reappear during this time too. Routines are changing.

Aquarius

Energy levels are high and you feel nicely supported by those around you. You are coming across well with others, especially at work. Put off making major career decisions however, as are still rethinking your general life direction at this time and there will be some changes in the way you see things.

Pisces

  You may be dreaming more lucidly this week! There seems to be an especial rapport with foreigners and all things different or outside of your usual routine now. Be especially clear when communicating with others and don’t be too premature with sharing your plans and ideas.

Astral Peeks: Lunar Eclipse 29^th November

A penumbral lunar eclipse on November 29th, 2012, will be the last eclipse of the year. People in Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, and most of Asia can see the eclipse. A penumbral lunar eclipse is the least interesting type of eclipse, because the moon is in Earth’s faint outer (penumbral) shadow. Unless you’re a seasoned sky watcher, you likely won’t notice the effect. It will occur at 12:33am EST

Meditation Moments:  heart chakra energising.

Gently release the hands and rub the palms together, making them very warm and energized. Place the right palm in the centre of your chest and the left hand on top of the right. Close the eyes and feel the centre of your chest warm and glowing, full of energy. See this energy as an emerald green light, radiating out from the centre of your heart into the rest of your body. Feel this energy flowing out into the arms and hands, and flowing back into the heart. Stay with this meditation for one to five minutes.

After you feel completely saturated with heart chakra energy, gently release the palms and turn them outwards with the elbows bent, the shoulders relaxed and the chest open. Feel or visualize the green light love energy flowing out of your palms and into the world. You can direct it towards specific loved ones in your life or to all sentient beings.
