In General: With the new moon in Taurus as we begin
this week we can expect progress to bless all those areas that are Taurus
related, like finances, practical enterprise, environmental issues and
gardening, but do not expect quick action. Taurus has its own comfortable pace!
2nd and 3rd of May, Mercury in Taurus opposes Saturn in
Scorpio. This is an intense, serious, attentive and disciplined alignment. We
can expect potential delays or blockages in communication and travel matters. This
is a good time to study and discipline ourselves to set limits where necessary.
Mars
is still retrograde and so this period is still inappropriate for activities
requiring Mars get up and go or initiative. It is however, an excellent time to
reinforce what is already working in our lives. If you celebrate your birthday
this week then expect a year ahead full of focus on all practical things. It is
a steady, sometimes frustratingly slow year but it moves in a forward direction
never the less. On the world scene, the Cardinal grand cross energy is still
creating a range of violent, transformative actions, increased accidents and
geopolitical crises. Locally focus on getting your personal life balance in
order!
Thought for the
week: In order to carry a positive action
we must develop here a positive vision. Dalai Lama
Aries
Aries
Love and romantic
relationships will be highlighted this week so enjoy. It seems a good week for career as well. Now would be an
excellent time to action new projects and investments, or seek that promotion.
Travel either for business or for pleasure reasons is also highly likely at this time.
Taurus
You guys seem a
little discontent and stressed this week. You might feel in internal turmoil over
something but by focusing on yourself more and nurturing the self you can find
a balance. You will also experience better relationships with loved ones this
way! Spend some time just day dreaming.
Gemini
The overriding
feeling for some time has been that your life has become a bit stagnant and you
are now ready and poised to do something about it, this week only intensifies
the feeling! This week is a a good time to take care of your health and you may
want to consider taking up some especially relaxing activity.
Cancer
Financially things
are looking good this week. However, just at this time do not be tempted to
sign up for ambiguous investment schemes such as shares, stocks or internet
schemes. Keep your money in your personal pocket for now. Direct your energy
towards improving your job or business.
Leo
With Venus entering
fellow fire sign Aries on May 2nd, you can enjoy expanding your life’s options,
exploring the world, and experiencing life in novel ways. You can easily travel now or at the least spend more time
around people from different cultures, and learn more about them.
Virgo
You enjoy making
changes in your life now, and can definitely see how to make a change for the
better. Just be aware of a tendency to be overly possessive and difficult with
those you love and care about! It is too easy to push them away when all you
really want is a feeling of closeness!
Libra
This week you are
especially charming and affectionate, get along better with others, and can
help people get along with each other as well. You also feel more inclined to
romance than you have for some time and this can greatly support your intimate
relationship to reach new levels of closeness!
Scorpio
This week you will enjoy
getting overdue work and small tasks done. You are well when you make lists of
the things you need to get around to, and you should actually enjoy undertaking
everything on that list. At work, you seem to be getting along better with
coworkers and feeling more sociable too.
Sagittarius
It’s hard to settle
this week, you enjoy spending time on your personal interests or hobbies and on
having fun. You can be a little more slothful and a little more indulgent than
usual, and you want to avoid work in favor of play. Creativity is high and
artistic pursuits are favoured.
Capricorn
Home and family
seem extra important to you this week. There is a lot of deep soul searching
going on now, courtesy of Pluto and you are redefining the depths of who you
are! You are attempting to find the right balance with your obligations to others
and yourself, and how much energy you to expend in these areas.
Aquarius
The focus now is
upon balancing mind, body and spirit. Many of you will be setting up a new
decor in your dwelling, or even changing residences this week and into May. A
greater, deeper sense of emotional security is heading your way and the
foundations are being laid now!
Pisces
Opportunity, fresh
starts and perhaps some unexpected but fortunate news are all on the cards this
week, Pisces! New friendships, and interesting new ideas that emerge now, could
be the birth place of something important in your long term future! Be open to
the new and let your world expand for best results.
Astral Peeks: The
lighter side….
Astrology has been
hit with so many serious and life changing moments over the past few months I
thought perhaps it would be nice to have a little down time and share a few
laughs!!
So this week we are
going to look at the snoring skills of the Zodiac signs…always a matter for a
little giggle….
Aries: So loud and
forceful you can almost feel it. Taurus: Peacefully stubborn snoring; don't bother
trying to wake them up. Gemini: It’s unpredictable and stops and starts at the
oddest moments! Cancer: They can't sleep steadily without a good snore and will
get self-justifying about it if you try to deal with the fact that it's keeping
you awake. Leo: Now they can snore! With a roar!!! Virgo: Don’t let them know
they snore, they will start to worry about it!! Libra: Loud yet beautiful,
let’s say creative artistic snoring. Scorpio: Snoring that bores into your very
soul. Sagittarius: The snoring gets louder and louder as the night gets longer
and longer… Capricorn: Businesslike snoring that seems to be have a clear
purpose. Aquarius: Your reputation as the water bearer is borne out when you drool
like a spigot as you snore! Welcome to
the new age. Pisces: Nothing wakes them when sleeping so get used to their
snoring!!
Meditation Moments: Samhain Southern hemisphere
April 30th
Samhain is a festival that marks the end of the
harvest season and the beginning of Winter.....as such we are ready area ready
to celebrate it here in the Southern hemisphere NOW!!
Samhain's long association with death and the Dead
reflects Nature's rhythms. In many places, Samhain coincides with the end of
the growing season. Vegetation dies back with killing frosts, and therefore,
literally, death is in the air. This contributes to the ancient notion that at
Samhain, the veil is thin between the world of the living and the realm of the
Dead and this facilitates contact and communication.
Because the Veil is thin at this time of year,
divination works better. Many examples
of divination appear in traditional Samhain or Halloween activities, such as
throwing an apple peel to find the initial of your future spouse. This is also a time for studying other
esoteric techniques.
Samhain is also about facing fears and being
prepared to go into the darker, quieter months of winter without carrying
unwanted baggage with us!! Its time to turn over the soil and get rid of weeds.
Symbolically, we can learn from the past, reflect, meditate and get in touch
with our deeper selves. And we can laugh a little at our fears in the
process.....
A simple Samhain ritual requires nothing fancier
than lighting your pumpkins, lighting some candles, burning some incense and
being grateful for the harvest from this year. Look ahead at next year and make
resolutions to be more spiritual or healthier, etc. Set out a plate and some
food for your passed ancestors during your dinner and be thankful for the cycle
of life, death, and rebirth...revere it.
