Astral Meanders September 11-17th 2013

In general:   We should all feel more energetic this week and we will be ready to get focused and make things happen as the weekend of September 13th begins. Yes, September 13th is on a Friday but I don’t think many of us will be dealing with any particular bad luck this Friday the 13th. In fact, efficiency will be the character of the weekend. Individuals will be ready to work hard, and business dealings ought to go well. The Moon will enter pensive Pisces by Tuesday morning, September 17th, and we will be prepared to make some modifications in our lives. If you have a birthday this week then it is wise to be prepared with a plan as the year unfolds and that way you can make the most of all the wonderful opportunities coming your way. On the world scene it’s a time for getting down to business and getting things done if somewhat conservatively and locally the weekend will see you achieving a great deal.

Thought for the week: Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.  ~T.S. Eliot



Aries

It's time for taking charge of your life Aries. Lovely energy is with you for creating something original, moving a project onward, and for love on the 13-14. Close relationships are intensified now, too. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner.

Taurus

This is a superb time for additional attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more motivated to sweet-talk and charm others during this phase. One-to-one relating appeals to you as does smoothing out your close personal relationships during this cycle.

Gemini

This is a time of rejuvenation, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and drive on home and family. Creating a happy and pleasant work environment through sociable relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now too.

Cancer

Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature at this time. You could have a finger in many pies, as your curiosity is piqued by a greater variety of things than normal. You might predominantly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this phase.

Leo

You possibly should be on the lookout for a propensity to create your own financial stress due to spendthrift spending habits this week, Leo. At this point, you are unlikely to take numerous risks, however, and you can be quite resilient to change. You may focus on ways to earn money in or from your home.

Virgo

This is an outstanding cycle for making individual changes in your routine or personal appearance, and for any self-improvement projects. Personal ventures that you begin now are likely to bloom nine months down the road. You enjoy speaking about what interests you, and you find great worth in the exchange of new ideas.

Libra

You may naturally retreat a little and take more isolated time for yourself at this time. Your physical energy levels may not be up to par and this is your body signalling you to take a break. Your temperament is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression arises quite easily.

Scorpio

During this phase, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop some time down the road. You are more mindful of the benefits of networking, and you might find abundant ideas come through others now. You could be questioning rules you have been living by and be ready to try something new.

Sagittarius

Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be very private love feelings and longings. You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals. Others find you easy to be around now, and are attracted to your assertiveness and valour.

Capricorn

Treat postponements and blocks as chances to perfect goals rather than allowing yourself to feel disheartened, as this can lead to poor selections and unused opportunities. Romance may be found through your career and business activities, as well as group connections and networking.

Aquarius

You are deeper in your mood and temperament at this time of year. You are more in touch with the profounder elements of your personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this time constructively.

Pisces

You have a taste for the unusual now that can show up in many areas of your life, like who you are fascinated by, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so on. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally.

Astral Peeks: spring is sprung

As we hurtle into the warmer months I thought it might be interesting to take a light-hearted look at how we like to entertain ourselves in spring….Aries: time for outdoor adventures, hiking, rock climbing, travelling to far flung places! Taurus: Mangoes, Melons, Passionfruit, Pawpaw, ice-cream, cake fed to you by a lover…and of course, time in the garden. Gemini: outdoor café coffees, frappes and iced teas and long, long conversations. Cancer: Spring cleaning and generally getting on top of all the things you let go to the dogs in winter. Leo: Parties under the stars, dancing and lots of happy social engagements! Virgo: All that lovely sun giving you vitamin D making you healthy and vibrant! Salads and other healthy goodies and perhaps even a cleanse! Libra: Lying in the hammock, reading whilst sipping iced tea, watching the butterflies the bees and all of nature dance. Scorpio: Surfing, beaching, water activities of every kind puts you guys well and truly in your element. Sagittarius: Inspired, spiritual and close to Mother Nature, they literally have a spring in their step, this time of year brings out their optimism! Capricorn: More daylight hours to get more done! Renewed vigour and determination, clearer goals and lots of hard work make them positively glow. Aquarius: Freedom to run and dance and dream, but definitely not a focused time for these guys…..Pisces: The sunshine gives these guys hope again and a more positive attitude emerges, they re-awaken their inner creativity and all sorts of arts, crafts, writing, music and dance!

Meditation moments: Staying positive!

It seems to me, these days,  that there are a lot of people focusing a lot of energy on being angry or disgruntled or annoyed about the status quo…whatever that may be for them….! I think we waste, expend, and use, a great deal of wonderful energy on the negative. If something does not sit right for you, then find a way to trump it, use your energy to come up with something better! Solutions exist, but rhetoric does not uncover them, as anger does not.

The past can't see you, but the future is listening. ~Terri Guillemets

It's a question of discipline," the little prince told me later on.  "When you've finished washing and dressing each morning, you must tend your planet."  ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.  Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.  ~Margaret Meade

Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.  ~Peter F. Drucker
