In general: Such a
full, intense and defining week for many of us!! Be ready to deal with a tumult
of emotions, epiphanies and confusingly frustrating events. We begin this week with
Mars in Virgo. Mars is primed and ready to
focus on getting the job done in a big way! We will experience an increased passion
for details, a need to do the right thing at just the right time and do the job
well! A Full Moon Lunar
Eclipse occurs on Friday, October 18th, 2013, at 7:50 PM
Eastern time. This will be a penumbral lunar eclipse. Only the peripheral of
the Earth’s shadow will cross the Moon. Even though it is not a total eclipse,
it will still carry a punch. This Full Moon in Aries is a time of culmination of
that which was started at the New Moon. Lunar Eclipses are more potent Full
Moons, and are generally about relationships and polarities. With the
Aries-Libra axis involved now, this Lunar Eclipse asks us to look more closely
at our needs, deficiencies and desires. This Full Moon is also close to the
exact Uranus-Pluto square, emphasizing the "clash" between the need
for comradeship and the need for freedom. There can be a strong desire to break
free from old patterns in our relationships. Jupiter's loose square to the
Eclipse can also add the spectacle of epiphanies and dramatic reactions to this
mix! And then comes our old fave, Mercury retrograde, which begins on Monday,
October 21st, at 6:29 AM Eastern time. Mercury rules transportation,
communication, siblings, technological issues, teaching, travel and all things related.
During its retro sojourn mishaps, failed communications, computer issues and general
transportation delays will be likely. If you have a birthday this week, it’s a personally
defining year ahead for you! You should attempt to find your individual niche
and fulfil your personal desires. On the world scene this week will most likely
bring a few surprises and dramatic spontaneous public reactions to issues are probable.
Expect some theatrical weather conditions and travel delays too. Locally it is a good idea to give yourself plenty
of time when preparing for meetings, or planning a trip anywhere.
Thought for the week: Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.Denis Waitley
Aries
It is time for an intensive appraisal of your finances.
You are super energised when it comes to work projects and health or perhaps
even self-improvement programs now.The emphasis
is on resolution, forming or strengthening bonds, diplomacy, discussion,
one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a bit drained
physically.
Taurus
This Lunar Eclipse brings surprises surrounding the care and
attention you give others, as well as the work and service you give. Something
that has been distilling under the surface of things comes to light, or there
is a significant achievement or culmination of a project. It’s a positive if
very reflective energy.
Gemini
It's time to bring order to your life Gemini, by concentrating
on the little things that make up the whole. This phase presents an opening to
get rid of the stuff that doesn't work in your life, while also allowing you to
discover what does. You could seek some kind of merit and strive towards excellence
in your work.
Cancer
A career or domestic matter reaches a head around the 18th,
when the Lunar Eclipse and Uranus shake things up and need you to adapt rapidly
to deviations in your plans. A bit of backtracking can also happen now with
Mercury retrograde energy building up and effecting your attempts to move
forward.
Leo
It’s time to activate your inner warrior when it comes to being
treated with respect. It's a good time for money overall. You are more persuaded
to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and your natural ability to
socialize and make connections. Others will reward you and acclaim your talents
now!
Virgo
A circumstance that calls for you to support someone else
is likely this week. Do your best to circumvent any emotions that may overrule
good judgment when it comes to expenditure or financial issues. Faithfulness
and compassion in your relationships are more important to you than characteristically.
Libra
You now have a natural skill for sensing the needs and wishes
of the general public. As a result you are likely to draw highly emotive and
sensitive individuals into your world. There is an opportunity to truly connect
to a special someone in your life now too. Smoothing over differences using your
considerable peacekeeping skills, figures now.
Scorpio
You may obtain recognition for something you do well,
although it is likely to come with more responsibility. From the 21st, work
pressures be apt to ease somewhat.Your social life however will be busier.Do something to make your work conditions
better if they are annoying you even if it's a small act.
Sagittarius
Once again you might be questioning some of the procedures
you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new.
You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional throughout
this cycle. You are less able to rely on your
intuition now, so be aware that you could be picking up mistaken cues.
Capricorn
You’re likely to feel more on top of things, as both
physical energy and incentive seem to return. It's suddenly easier to look
toward a better future. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement
or commendation for your work or character now. Getting support from others is
easier at this time.
Aquarius
It's an excellent period for observing your life from a
different perspective! You may initiate this process or you might make contact
with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently.
Your energy is strong, uncluttered, and welcoming right now; you come across
well to others.
Pisces
There is a significant completion or a positive result for effort,
for you guys this week. This could manifest, for example, as the fruition of a fiscal
project, a sudden money-making opportunity, or other such related possibilities.
It’s a creative, fulfilling period for Pisces overall! Energy is good and
dynamic.
Astral Peeks: Penumbral
eclipse October 18
It will be visible from the Americas (for the end), Europe,
Africa, and most of Asia (the beginning of the eclipse will be visible in east
Asia). The western part of the Philippines (including
western Luzon and Palawan) can see
the penumbral eclipse at moonset. The Moon will skim through the edge
of the Earth's shadow, termed the penumbra. At no point will the Sun be more
than partially eclipsed by the Earth, as seen from the surface of the Moon,
meaning that whilst Earth-based observers will see a reduction in the Moon's
brightness, no part of its disk will be completely within the Earth's shadow
(umbra) and no part of its disk will appear completely dark. Penumbral
events are very subtle events to observe. The apparent dimming of the Moon's
disk is typically only perceptible to a trained eye, especially when, as in
this case, a relatively small fraction of the Moon's disk enters the penumbral,
and no part of its surface sees an especially deep eclipse of the Sun's light
reaching it.
Meditation
moments: sitting
If you examine the
meditation poses depicted in the world's great spiritual traditions, you'll
find that they all have one thing in common, the resolute stability of a
mountain or tree.
When you sit up
straight like a mountain or a tree, your body acts as a link between heaven and
earth and by correlation, connects your physical, in the flesh existence with
the sacred or spiritual dimension of being. In addition to the spiritual
aspect, you might contemplate that sitting up straight confers some practical
benefits as well. By aligning the spine and opening the channels that run
through the centre of the body, straight sitting encourages an unimpeded
circulation of energy, which, in turn, contributes to wakefulness on all
levels, physical, mental, and spiritual. Also, it's a lot easier to sit still
for extended periods of time when your vertebrae are stacked like a pile of
bricks, one on top of the other. Otherwise, over time, gravity has this exasperating
habit of dragging your body down toward the ground and in the process, causing
the aches and pains so characteristic of a body at war with the forces of
nature. So, the most comfortable way to sit in the long run is straight, which
puts you in harmony with nature.
