The Sun now makes its’ way gracefully through the sign of Libra. Venus moves into Scorpio today, and Mars follows closely behind, on the 4th. New Moon is on the 29th, at 7 degrees Libra and Mercury has turned retrograde to begin the fortnight, and will resume its’ forward motion in mid-October. Just a reminder of the glitches and communication delays during the retrograde phase. Avoid signing contracts and keep your wits about you, when computers and the like, don’t work, the way that you want. Jupiter and Saturn remaining in their trine formation. through until years’ end. We’ve just passed through the Spring Equinox, and traditionally the beginning of a New Year. Projects begin now, blossom, and bloom in Summer. Where is your focus over the next months, and what is it, that you want to create, now? During this very Libran time, peace is generally on peoples’ minds, along with relationship and beautification. Broadening that out, to involve the bigger picture, means, we can all find ways to improve our daily interactions, and taking care of our own immediate environments, affects the Planet, as a whole. The Jupiter/Saturn trine ensures that we have the thought power and the practical skills to apply ourselves to money and security needs, on an individual and global scale. Good time to implement new strategies now, through October, as there will be much chaos and restructuring necessary, come November, when many of the old systems collapse or fail.
NEW MOON 6 Libra 33 September 29, 2008 16:13
ARIES : Mars is about to change sign, and this is good news for you. While in Libra, it has been pushing you to interact beyond the normal range. Now, as it pushes on into Scorpio, transformation begins on a big scale, in your life. You will be foregoing the pleasantries, to a degree; remember that the New Moon and the Sun are still in Libra. Mars is your powerhouse though, and it is the one that will motivate and drive you, to achieve great things. Be ready to adapt to changing circumstances, and leave the past where it belongs.
TAURUS : Venus, the lady of Love, has just moved into your polar opposite, Scorpio. You will feel the tug, and push and pull of the opposition, as it counterbalances your Taurean Planets. Prepare for a little turmoil in your life, as the old no longer fits, as well as it use to. Resisting change, is futile, as it will only upset those around you; possibly to the point of arguments. Move on, and release with ease, those situations and relationships, which no longer work. The hardest step, is always the first. From there, things will begin to roll, with grace.
GEMINI : You are the one, most affected by these retrograde phases. Frustration, is a distinct possibility. Postpone, as much as is possible, at this time, and keep excess stress to a minimum. When it is unavoidable, you must find ways, to rest your restless mind and relax the body. Nature is always a good remedy for this. Go for a walk in the nature, or immerse yourself in water. We are not trying to dull the senses, but rather, move them away from overload, and move them into productivity. Relationships, are the arena for most of your disgruntlement.
CANCER : Growth, is significantly activated, as you move forward in your life. It is time to reassess your primary relationships. Express the gratitude, for all the gifts received and acknowledge, where others are no longer working, or supporting you. Time to release, surrender and acceptance. You need faith also, that when something is let go of, that there will be better waiting for you. This is a big process in anyones’ life, and when others tell you it is easy, I suggest that they may not be honest with themselves and you. Know that you are supported, and move forward with confidence.
LEO : Perhaps this is the opportunity to beautify your life. Have you been putting others before yourself; neglecting the most important person in your life? If your needs, are in juxtaposition to your wants, I suggest that you go for the needs. The most important thing in your life now, is balance, grounding and prioritizing. At the end of any day, it is more important, how you feel about yourself, and not what others think of you. Be brave enough, to bere your soul, and see what it has to say. Perhaps, there are some surprises in store for you.
VIRGO : Using the wounded healer archetype, allows you to see where your gifts and treasure lie. What have been your greatest challenges, could just be your greatest tools to utilize at this important phase of your life. Whether it be, for your own benefit, or that of others, that place where you hesitate, is probably the place you need to be, the most. Step then boldly, and without hesitation, into that area of most discomfort. You will be amazed at who and what races towards you, as you do. Fear is only fear, let it not deter you.
LIBRA : It’s Birthday time again, to state the obvious. Venus moves out of your sign now, and into Scorpio, changing the nature of relationship, to a large degree. All issues, which have been swept under the rug, in the past month, will be brought out into the open to be scrutinized. Failing an honest approach, you could find yourself either manipulating, or being manipulated by the other. I would suggest that you use this time, for some honest observation, and with willingness to make the necessary changes and move forward, purging all old behaviors.
SCORPIO : As Mars moves into your sign in early October, get ready for a new lease on life. The urge to move forward will be great, with the ability to manifest your dreams, abundantly possible. Always in the process of manifestation, the old needs to be relinquished to make way for the new. This is easier for you, than most. Venus also in your sign, making relating deep and very meaningful. Jealousy could arise, however, with some maturity, you will be able to avert any possible damage to your relationship. Remember, relationship is a prominent theme this month.
SAGITTARIUS : Others are often perplexed, by your behavior, and the way your approach life. Having said this, you are probably the most grounded, and down to earth, that you’ve been for a very long time. A good time to lay the foundations, groundwork and to make plans for future travels, studies and teaching occupations. You will be so glad you did, when the future rolls around, and you find yourself reaping the rewards, of this forethought and planning. Perhaps it is time, to allow a significant other into your life. Try fitting that into your plans.
CAPRICORN : This LIbran time, could give you a little stress, if the emphasis, seems to overly exaggerate the other person, in your life. For some, this could be persons. Demanding your attention, time and resources, is a little frustrating, when you feel you could be using your time, more to your advantage in other areas. Trust this will all work out for the best, and that there will be enough time, to go around all your enterprises, relationships and recreations. A little pure focus, in one area goes a long way. It in fact, shortcuts many processes.
AQUARIUS : You are beginning to see that the shifts, that transpired in September, with its’ potent moon cycle, are in fact lasting. Something has stirred, adjusted and now vibrates at a different frequency. Now, you get the opportunity to fine tune, by staying receptive and allowing your intuition to guide you. Usually the first thought is the intuition, and what comes after that is the mind. Be brave enough then, to go with the first, and follow your hunches. They will lead you, into some interesting territory this fortnight.
PISCES : Mars makes a lovely trine with Neptune, to start the fortnight. You could be in for some high level sexual encounters, although they could stay in the daydreaming phase, or become very mental.Perhaps some lovely letters will be exchanged. Whichever it is, this is a great time to put pen to paper, and create, inspiring words. Others will be deeply touched by this, in one form or another. Sharing your own experiences too, can also enlighten the path of another. This is a fortunate year for communication, for you. You will be pleasantlysurprised by its’ outcomes around December.
