Astral meanders 22-28 May 2013


 

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

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.

Meditation moments: About not being afraid to see the self!

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.
