Astral meanders 13-19 November 2103

In General: This week is about getting thoughtful about our finances and improving personal relations with co-workers. We value stable connections, dependability, and faithfulness. Venus is active on the 14th and 15th especially, bringing some fresh energy to our interactions with others. The gratification of a job well done is also one of our highest incentives at this time. The Taurus Full Moon on November 17th installs a greater sense of calm to our lives. There is a general sense of well-being after this date, but be aware that relationships could be slightly taxing and still require a good deal of cooperation.  Let it be remembered that we are still gestating the energies of the recent Solar Eclipse in Scorpio and that this in essence is about transformation processes in our lives (depending a lot on where Scorpio falls in the individual chart). If you are having a birthday this week then you can look forward to a year of improving personal relationships! On the world scene we can expect more stress, strain and turmoil in inter global relations and the burgeoning transformations that are still seeding themselves at this time will most likely make all things feel somewhat unstable, politics, weather, nature, finances and public reactions!

Thought for the week: 
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible! Audrey Hepburn

Aries

This can be a strong-minded and personally powerful time of year as you no doubt have discovered! Just be careful to apply the power and energy you now feel constructively!You are more aware of subtleties and distinctions between things during this phase, and with patience you can use this augmented insight to improve your life.

 Taurus

Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is likely now, but you should escape jumping to any rash conclusions. It would be prudent to be particularly clear when it comes to communicating now or at least take this time to re-examine matters rather than communicating about them impulsively.Be reflective now, act later.

Gemini

A new arrangement in an existing job or a new job altogether is on the cards for many Geminis, but while these seeds are sown now, you may not be aware of the outcome for several months.For now there is definitely a sense of regeneration and reinvigoration with regards to your ordinary daily activities!

 Cancer

Socially this is a good time for you guys, you tend to express yourself with more warmth and inspiration, and you have an approving audience for your ideas now, too.You may though, find it too easy to become impatient with others at this time, especially if they seem to be taking up too much of your time with trivialities. 

Leo

There may be a need to focus upon a personal matter, or you could feel the need to take the principal role when it comes to your family life.A career matter demands attention around the Full Moon on the 17th. This energy can and will work for you if you don’t hold back! Try to show your more confident side!

Virgo

The need for entertainment, fun, and imaginative expression grows at this time. New jobs, a relocations, or increased interaction with new and different folk is likely to be part of the picture over the next few months, and it all begins now!To top this off you intuitively know the best way to impress others and get them on side!.

Libra

This week you are especially fond of the home and family.You are more open and gentle on a romantic level, and have a tendency to to be sentimental or nostalgic.You may predominantly value the aesthetics in and around your home throughout this period. Mars gives you courage to uncover your true feelings no matter how irrational you've believed them to be.

Scorpio

This is a period of physical stamina and good health for most Scorpio’s.You also have an increased awareness of your own needs and are able to fulfil them.It’s a great time for being brave and enjoying new experiences.You can also be particularly effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or establishing a group.

Sagittarius

This is a week in which you can make significant advances in your work, particularly on the 18-19.The Full Moon on the 17th can direct your attention to areas of your life that have been neglected lately!It's a strong time for perceiving different perspectives on issues in your life, as well as for consideration and research.

Capricorn

Around the 15-17, there can be some romantic spectacle.Attractions you make now could upset the status quo,or complicate things for you. Watch for over sensitivity around the Full Moon on the 17th.On a lighter note, you are more eager than usual to explore, expand your horizons, and step out of your comfort zone now.

Aquarius

For many of you the 14-16 can bring frustrations to the surface.Try to avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of your own best interests!Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. It's a good time to analyse your work or home tasks and to streamline them or improve them in some way. 

Pisces

Due to the fact that you are more than usually visible now, it’s important that you listen to your heart and act truthfully and openly now.You may unwittingly attract conflict where there are issues that have remained unresolved in relationships as you are needing to resolve these now.Now is the time for picturing what you'd like to achieve in the long term of your life!

Astral Peeks: The eclipse process, gain through loss.

The recent solar eclipse period has certainly put many individuals through some very personal transformation processes. Many of us will have experienced the need to let go of something…at the very least a personal conception of the world or an idea of where we are heading. For some of course it would have been much more dramatic. Though there will be a sense of emotional inevitability and heaviness during the few months around this eclipse, the more we can absolve, bless, say goodbye, and flow forward into new arenas of life the better it will feel for us. Due to the Eclipse being in Scorpio, as well as Mercury, Saturn, and the North Node, this triggers our personal Scorpio zone in vast ways! It certainly helps us to express our deeper personal issues and our feeling versus practical self, integration! 

We are all developing an increased understanding of our feelings and our emotional intelligence is already greater than usual via the Grand Water Trines that were active in June, July, and August. This recent Eclipse helps us cross another personal bridge and take a new look at how to use that sensitive emotional energy to allow us to move into tangible resolutions and real actions! Go forth and do not be afraid to be the truest version of yourself that you have been for a long time!

Meditation moments: A little ritual for personal spring cleaning!

After all the intense astrological energy of the past few weeks and to allow our own cleansing after our spring clean of properties and more practical areas of life, try this for a little release and general pick me up! Get some artists molding clay and make yourself a little representation of your personal blocks, something that speaks to you about what you wish to release from your life and/or what represents the block to that release. Spend a bit of time thinking and making and getting to know these blocks and release worthy things as you mold your piece. Then take it down to the water, ocean is best but any free flowing water will do! And as you dip it into the water stroke it tenderly and allow it to dissolve and be carried away by the natural flow of water, say your goodbyes and experience the freedom! Simple it may seem but believe me, powerful it will be!!
