Astral Meanders 14-20 May 2014

In General:  Venus is in Aries this week. In Aries, love is impulsive and direct. Individuals are also bolder and a little impatient when it comes to things of the heart. Desires are strong and communicated spontaneously, enthusiastically, and unswervingly. The Full Moon in Scorpio on the 14^th calls for more balancing of energies. Scorpio themes are extremely forceful at this time; intense emotions, transformation, endings and beginnings, facing fears and self-confidence issues. On a positive note, this is a great time to make much needed changes that require a leap of faith and self-discipline. On the 20^th The Sun enters Gemini. It’s all about change, transformation, and getting ourselves onto the path that will lead us to our greater destinies. Relax and allow the flow. If you have a birthday this week then you can expect a year ahead filled with many opportunities to get your life on track, balance your work-life ratio and plan for the future. On the world scene, it is still fairly unstable, both environmentally and politically. Things can happen suddenly that greatly affect the status quo. Locally prepare yourselves for changes that you know have been brewing for some time. Meditate and take care of your health.

Thought for the week: You are never alone or helpless. The force that guides the stars guides you too. ~Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar


Aries

This is the most financially orientated time of the year for you. You may have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or at least you have an increased interest in your own possessions and savings during this phase. More time than usual will be spent making short trips and communicating in general.

Taurus

Physically, you are likely to be feeling strong this week. This is an excellent phase for making personal alterations to your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement activities. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to come into flower nine months from now.

Gemini

Starting pleasant, warm social relationships, perhaps related to group activities of some sort, are highlighted now. You may meet someone new and interesting through these activities. Sharing interests with those you care about is what makes you happy this week. Relationships with siblings may become more prominent now too.

Cancer

You are more aware of the paybacks of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others at this time. This is a period when various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas are especially progressive and alternative, as you are questioning the rules you usually live by and entertaining some innovative ideas.

Leo

You could have a chance to accept some acknowledgement or commendation for your work now. You are attracted to and get pleasure from, anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally, this week. Foreign people and places are of definite appeal to you now.

Virgo

This is a phase in which you look for expansion of your experiences, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or just activities that take you away from your ordinary routines. You will feel uncharacteristically restless if you don't find ways to explore.

Libra

This is a time for paying extra attention to a partner, as well as receiving extra attention from that person! One-to-one relating appeals to you much more than group activities do. How you assert yourself and how you go about getting what you want out of life are up for change now.

Scorpio

This can be a period of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the best time to drive your own agenda or personal plans; reasonably, it's a phase in which you are at your best when you identify the need to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some equilibrium in your life.

Sagittarius

Creative self-expression of any kind is favoured right now. You also instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. You are especially fascinated by aesthetic forms of leisure and you are feeling a little more playful than usual.

Capricorn

This is a period when pleasure-seeking and imaginative activities come into focus and seize much of your immediate attention. You are particularly charming in an unprompted, natural way! It's an especially good time for romance, connecting with children, and enjoying the arts.

Aquarius

Home and family matters are a strong source of pride now. Use this energy to find ways to develop your family relations and your home environment positively. Allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy manner now and in the future.

Pisces

This week your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts also often turn to private matters, family, and loved ones. You should particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones now.

 

Astral Peeks: Astrology and love.

Much has been said about the compatibility of Sun Signs. But this is just the very edge of compatibility charts. For example, although Aries and Leo are supposed to get along, in reality they might waste far too much time arguing and competing, while the hypothetically incompatible Libra and Cancer may still stay happily together forever. This is because Sun Sign Compatibility takes into account only one of hundreds of compatibility factors. Synastry, or the practice of comparing the horoscope of two individuals, is an age-old craft which is one of the most popular uses of astrology. The synastry charts of any two individuals can be compared; business partners, parent/child, friends. What is actually looked at includes the Ascendant, elemental balances, Venus placements, the moon, Mars and individual aspects. As you can see it is a much more complicated matter than the Sun sign!! Getting a Synastry or compatibility chart oden can be enlightening and supportive of getting the best out of your relationship!
