In general: With the sun now in Libra, meeting others halfway, cooperation, and negotiation come more naturally
to us. However, decision-making can be more challenging. Venus trines Jupiter on September
26-27 and harmony generally reins along with expansive feelings in love, and a sense
that anything is conceivable if we set our sights high enough. Many of us will
be feeling friendly, helpful, sociable, and positive. The Moon enters Cancer on,
September 26th too, making emotions more prominent. There could also
be some additional rewards coming our way. The Moon then enters playful Leo on
Sunday 29th, and it will be a great opportunity for some amusement, fun and
good times with children. As we move into October, changes, conflicts, and
delays are likely. If you have a birthday this week then you can expect the
year ahead to be filled with lots of pleasant social engagements and a friendly,
positive energy. On the World scene it’s a time of negotiation and compromise.
The arts and entertainment will figure prominently. Locally plan something enjoyable
for Sunday 29th.
Thought for the week: I would not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum. ~Frances Willard
Aries
This is a period when you're more responsible and
realistic, and the need to make a commitment to your future rises. Any pause
with issues regarding shared finances or loans and financial support is cleared
now and things move ahead. This may be a particularly
busy time for those who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Taurus
Hobbies, amusing
pastimes, undertakings with children, and romance are all highlighted now. You
are offering your ideas and innovations with more passion and flair than usual. Boring tasks however, become more prominent and insistent
now. Watch, for tension or general chit-chat interfering with your work output.
Gemini
You are more flirtatious than usual, and you might
take a few risks now. You may be a bit of a showman at this time too. You are
likely to be feeling good in general, and you have a tendency to to spread the happiness. You will also make lists, pay bills, sort out
clutter, and do detail work on the job this week.
Cancer
A very busy home life figures powerfully in the last
week of September, and you may need to catch your breath at times over this period. You're keener to take risks on a mental level at
this time so do take advantage of the increased creativity and mental ingenuity
that is yours now.
Leo
You could require solitude in order to get much conceptual
work done this week. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your
thoughts frequently turn to personal matters, family and loved ones. You will predominantly
enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during
this phase.
Virgo
You are very prepared to kick bad habits, start
fresh and present a more self-confident "you" to the world now, but it
is also important to listen carefully to your intuition at this time and to
allow the natural progression of your life show you the way. There will be
obvious signs along the way.
Libra
You are more practical and sensible in your approach
to assets during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and
possessions, as well as individual values, this can be a solid period for collecting
new money-making concepts. Financial gain may come through communications in
some way.
Scorpio
Opportunities could come through visits, short
trips, communications, or through contacts with siblings, colleagues, and neighbours.
Finances enjoy an increase or at least steadying, and you feel more secure and contented
this week. Copious of activity can mean you need some down time.
Sagittarius
This is a good time for investigation, quiet
contemplation, and meditation; but do sidestep the sense of getting dragged
down by issues that have outgrown their value and purpose. Inspecting the past
in order to improve the future is useful only as long as you don't waste energy
on guilt.
Capricorn
Others tend to enjoy your conversations during this
time and you are willing to listen as well as add your own opinions. Your
ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to instinctively understand what
others are trying to say will win you some brownie points! You can also do a
lot of thinking about your own long-term goals.
Aquarius
You recover the
confidence to take charge and to move forward with your life, this week. Your
appetite for adventure and creative self-expression is honed. You may already
sense that new journeys are approaching your way, and you have more solid plans
to venture out and about.
Pisces
Not content to focus on ordinary, everyday affairs
just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, views, and ideals. You are open to
expanding your information base during this phase and communications from or
with someone far away may be part of the picture. Missing
appointments could also figure now.
Astral Peeks: Myths of the Zodiac:Libra
Each week for a little while I will give the myth
based stories of the Zodiac! This week we start with Libra.
The stars that form the golden scales of Libra lie
halfway around the band of the greek zodiac, between Virgo and Scorpio.
Day and night are equal when the sun passes through
the constellation of Libra. The scales are a symbol of balance and equity.
More specifically, the scales were considered to be
the symbol of Dike, meaning Justice, who was a minor goddess of the
Underworld. Existing
in the underworld realm, Dike personified justice through retribution. Dike is linked with the ancient
greek custom of persecution of the guilty, either by the community or by the
victim's family. Her assistants were the Erinyes (Furies), who hound criminals.
Meditation moments: Pain management
meditation
As you settle into a comfortable position, notice
how you are feeling in this moment. Without trying to change anything, observe
your body and mind. Pain management begins with observation.
Where is most of your tension stored? Where is your
pain located? What part of your body is most relaxed?
Take a deep breath in.... now exhale. Breathe in....
and out. Continue to breathe slowly, smoothly.
Continue the pain management relaxation
with a passive attitude of observing. Do not try to make anything happen.
Notice how your whole body feels. Simply take note of how your body feels.
Although pain is unwanted and difficult to tolerate,
try for the next few moments to regard your pain with acceptance. Accept the
way you are feeling right now physically and emotionally..... whether positive
or negative..... allow your body and mind to just be....
Observe again your pain.... and notice, that you can
alter the pain slightly. See if you are able to transform the feeling, just a
little.....
Picture the pain.... notice its exact location.
Imagine that instead of pain, this area feels cool..... even a bit cold.... as
if you have applied a comfortable ice pack to this area. Feel the coolness.
The area might even start to feel a little less
cold.... closer to the way the rest of your body feels....
Now focus in on this area, and imagine a slightly
different feeling of your choice. You may wish to imagine the sensation of
pleasant tingling... warmth... or soft but firm, comfortable pressure.
Imagine this sensation now. Imagine the sensation
replacing just a tiny bit of the pain..... and a tiny bit more of the
pain...... more and more.....
Take note of how your body feels, now. See how
relaxed your muscles are. Notice how calm your mind is. Enjoy this feeling of
relaxation for a few moments more..... Slowly
reawaken your body now. Take a deep breath in.... and out. Feel your mind and
body becoming more awake and alert.Move your arms and legs, and stretch your
muscles to let them reawaken from this pain management relaxation.
