In general: A Full
Moon lunar eclipse occurs on the 25th in Sagittarius. It will
be a penumbral eclipse visible only from the Americas and Africa.
But
in astrological terms we will still feel this eclipse quite strongly. There can be difficulty with travel, or some
issue comes to an end within the travel business. Some persons could come under
scrutiny for what they're said or written. Neptune will be at a T-square to the
eclipse, so folk will be looking for comfort in all the wrong places and in
particular in their addictions. Senseless accidents are also quite likely. Judgement
it is to be expected will be poor, so think twice before you act. The 28th
thankfully should bring things back into balance. Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter are
lining up and will help us get back our calmness, enjoyment, and perhaps even positivity.
If you have a birthday this week then be prepared to think things through a
little more thoroughly this year or you could regret a decision. On the world scene this week could be bad for
water, pollution, or drugs, both legal and not. Locally be careful on the
roads!!
Thought for the week: Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy
and strong. The amount of work is the
same. ~Francesca Reigler
Aries
It's a great time to expand your world and meet a diversity

financial bonus can come your way on or close to the 28th. Family members, neighbours,
friends, and co-workers play a more significant role than normal during this phase.
Taurus
Do your finest to sidestep emotions overruling your
good judgment this week, especially when it comes to expenditure or financial
matters in general. It’s too easy to outlay more than you need to or really
want to this week. This is a period when you can be courageous and relish novel
experiences.
Gemini
Try to stay calm around the 24th, when emotions can
be crazy and relationship drama is probable. Overall this week is not the best
time for team work and other cooperative activities. The spotlight is on your
ability to lead, instead. Expending the power of words to draw what you want or
further your interests works well now.
Cancer

private matters now. Your temperament is introspective. Rest and reflect, and

Once there was a Sufi mystic, Shibli. Someone asked
Shibli, "Who was your first master? Who guided you on the path?"
The answer shocked the questioner, as Shibli said,
"A dog."
Shibli continued, "One day I saw him almost
dead with thirst, standing by the water's edge. Every time he looked at his
reflection in the water, he was frightened and withdrew, because he thought it
was another dog. Finally, such was his desperation that he cast away his fear
and leapt into the water, at which point the other dog of course
vanished."
"The dog found that the obstacle between
himself and that which he was seeking was no body but himself."
"In the same way, my own obstacle vanished when
I knew what I took to be my own self was just a reflection, not the reality.
And my way was first shown to me by the behaviour of a dog. He was my first
master."
A man of understanding learns everywhere, from everything
that crosses his path.
He learns and becomes a disciple. A discipline
arises.
Buddha said, unless you have discipline - the
capacity to learn, to receive in awareness - you will not be able to go to the
other shore. Knowledge will not help, because it is second hand, but capacity
to learn is your own and it will lead to your own insights.
