In general: Mars squares Uranus as we enter this week, and erratic exploits and random impulses can find their way to the surface. Lively and enthusiastic energy is more accessible now, but it can be very difficult to clearly direct it. In this unstable atmosphere, unconscious emotions like anger, frustration, or even fear can appear out when you least expect or want them to. Being accident prone is not uncommon as well so extra care is needed. Its very likely that we will experience some restlessness and short tempers! With Venus and Chiron in opposition on the 2nd we
are encouraged to be more sensitive to the issues and problems facing others. Personal
relationship issues and problems with finances can undergo a sort of healing now.
By using an extra dose of patience and compassion we can keep things on a more
even keel. The Leo new moon on the 6th with form a trine with Uranus
creating new and improved opportunities for change on a personal and global
level.
Thought for the week: Let us love the world to peace. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994
Aries
You guys can be highly idealistic and
intellectual now, but you are also more social and outgoing during
this time. You frame our ideas clearly, advance strong connections with
other folks, and enlarge your learning with greater simplicity. It’s
a good time to manifest a creative idea, or begin a new hobby.
Taurus
This is a time when your imaginings run wild, you’re
much more intuitive and your thoughts work overtime. You may need to stop,
relax and take a deep breath! You may be presented with an opportunity for
yourself through a relative or close friend. This is also a good time to buy
and sell real estate.
Gemini
You are likely to become more community minded now
and might find that you become more active in your community. Outwardly you seem
more friendly and sociable. It’s also an excellent opportunity to give yourself
a little rest and relaxation time. You are realising just how necessary this
is!
Cancer
This week may of you focus on being more practical
with your life. You want more security and stability. Things will soon get
very busy for you guys and, you’ll feel the change in the air. The new
moon finds you more emotionally needy than usual. Don’t do anything rash a
result, think things through.
Leo
This week one of the areas on your life that should see
some improvement is finances. The way you reach out to folk and communicate
with them is getting better and you may find yourself with a lot more work
as a result! It’s a great opportunity to begin new projects. Many may take a
short break.
Virgo
You feel calmer, more certain that things will work
out in your life and more able to cope with changes as they arise! There could
be a few unexpected expenses during this time however, or money could come in
fits and starts. Trying innovative money management ideas can work for you now.
Libra
Many of you will be realising the benefits of
looking after yourself first for a change! Now you can be direct about
your needs without coming across as aggressive and this is a pleasant
experience for you. A wonderful sense of personal balance brings out the best
in Libra at this time.
Scorpio
It’s a wonderful week for career opportunity. Openings
for advancement abound at every turn! Energy around the home front is also
favoured and it’s a calmer more settled you that faces the world! The intensity
of emotion you usually experience is mellower now and it’s a nice change for
you!
Sagittarius
This temptation filled week, Sagittarians are well advised
to window shop rather than buy. Enjoying things in small bursts is also recommended
as too much of a good thing have adverse effects. Temperance is the personal
catch cry for you guys now. Career matters however are all systems go!
Capricorn
Self-belief and personal confidence receive a nice
boost of energy from the cosmos at this time. It is time to be unshackled from your
self-imposed burdens and remind yourself to have some good old-fashioned fun. Family
can be a drag on your energy however, but only if you allow it!
Aquarius
This week is a wonderful time for really getting in
touch with yourself and what you most desire! You are very ready to walk the
path you want and be successful now. You may also find yourself uncharacteristically
enjoying the moments and smelling the roses along the way!
Pisces
What can seem like light-hearted fun may lead to more
serious fluctuations in the dynamics of some friendships now. It may be that you
have just out grown some mates. Or perhaps your interests are leading in a different
direction at this time. Finances can be unpredictable at this time.
Astral Peeks: Imbolc southern Hemisphere
Traditionally August 1 but exact on August 7, 2013
6:21PM.
This is the seasonal revolution where the first
signs of spring and the return of the sun are celebrated. In other words, it is
the festival observing the passing of winter and the commencement of the
agrarian year.
Imbolc is the time of the “beginning of beginnings,”
the first foetal stirrings of spring. This
is the time we should consider carefully what we will do with the year
stretching before us.
In Celtic symbolism we see the Goddess recovering
after giving birth while the newborn God is depicted as a small child nursing
from his mother. The sun is growing, spreading brightness all around and initiating
new growth.
It is traditional upon Imbolc, at sunset to light
candles in each room in honour of the Sun’s rebirth. Personally I love to get
up for the sunrise on this day and share a feast with those I love and
honour…giving thanks for all we have and looking forward with clear intention
for the new growth and abundance to come.
Meditation moments: Quotes to inspire your Imbolc festivities!
A hush is over everything, Silent as women wait for love;
The world is waiting for the spring.
