Full Moon Power: Draw on the power from Sunday’s Full Moon to help you out over the week ahead as you cultivate strength of Spirit and resolve to face the challenges life brings.

Astro-Weekend Update…

Full Moon power comes your way on Sunday as the Moon also shows harmonies with Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter. This sets up a potent time when you can move forward in your life to achieve goals you’ve been wanting. Beware — if you don’t communicate well, this can create tension with loved ones. Sometimes it is easy to get carried away by powerful emotions, and forget about ways to take a more measured approach. Seek balance as you proceed.

“Don’t second guess yourself, but do be very clear about your spiritual goals and how those relate to your life plans.”

Monday starts the week off with the Sun (Personality) playing a dual roles, and also Uranus (New Ideas) and Saturn (restrictions) lending double influence. This will make for an interesting week when there’s a clear tug between plans you’ve made, and nervous feelings about them. Don’t second guess yourself, but do be very clear about your spiritual goals and how those relate to your life plans. You can overcome obstacles with strength of Spirit.

Mercury (Communication) plans an interesting dual role on Tuesday, while the Moon shows some stress with new ideas for growth in your relationships. Think of your relationship like a garden — it needs tending because there is an ongoing cycle of growth. This also means that things change. That can be stressful at times. Today brings an opportunity to examine your communication and center yourself on core values — this will focus you on the best way to care for your relationship garden.

At midweek, we find the Moon working in conjunction with healthy Chiron and Pluto to help you break through some of the tension in the air as Wednesday dawns. You may have been feeling too restricted lately — like things are keeping you from what you need to do. Don’t be afraid to break through any apprehension you feel. Focus and courage are in order. Forge ahead.

Astro-Weekend Update…

Sunday comes in with an interesting mix of celestial energies — a day when your power to break through involves a harmony of health and spirit. Ok… let’s break down what that means. Simply put, when you are in good spirits, your health is positively impacted, and you feel a surge of power to move ahead in your projects and relationships. But someone may be resisting your new ideas — hey, there’s always a challenge along the way. Pay careful attention to your love relationships.

“The important thing is to strike the right balance between holding principles that allow your love to grow, and being too restrictive.”

The week jumps to a start on Monday with some tension in the air. Jupiter (growth), and Mercury (Communication) play multiple roles as does Pluto (transformation). A communication block may be preventing you from a move forward. To get to the root of this, double-check the feelings you have about growth. What is causing you stress and why? Pluto is there to help you make progress when you get over any emotional tension and use good communication skills, including listening well (not waiting to talk), to get to the root of the matter.

The Moon (emotions) plays a key role on Tuesday, squaring off with Chiron and Neptune, but dancing in harmony with Uranus, Saturn, the Sun and Mars. What is the source of the Spiritual blockage? What is preventing you from feeling good about one aspect of your life? Work on that. Use creative ideas, within bounds, to take action to address conflicts — you have the power.  Keep your emotions balanced and things will work out fine.

Midweek brings energies which work to give you an opportunity to grow in your romantic relationship on Wednesday. Remember that some boundaries are healthy in relationshiops (ie. giving each other space), and others are not good (ie. shutting another out). It’s worth it to spend some time on this today — as you know, relationships take work, but the rewards are great. The important thing is to strike the right balance between holding principles that allow your love to grow, and being too restrictive.

Astro-Weekend Update…

Sunday dawns with a sense that you can talk about some great plans you have with those you love. The planets are aligned for you to kick off a new project, schedule that vacation, or take on some new work at church or with a social group. Don’t be nervous about talking about your own ideas. Explain them well and listen to input from others. You also have an opportunity today to examine what has been causing some stress in your love life. Are you on a path that feels right with your Spirit?

“Have a reality check with yourself and stay focused on the important things in life.”

Monday starts the week with good energy in the areas of mew ideas for expansion — as long as you factor in any key limitations. Usually this means you have to stay with your budget, as you launch a new work plan. Listen to your feelings. Huh? This is like listening to gut hunches — usually right. But sometimes there are old emotions that surface to block your way. Your job is to discern the difference and act accordingly.

You can reach a key turning point in your love life on Tuesday, but you have be willing to examine any tension within regarding growth. Growth? That’s what a relationship is all about — growing together as a team. One unit that works together on all that life throws your way. Sometimes we get complacent and don’t want to “change”. But to grow, and go forward in life, you and your relationships need to develop and things do change when that happens. Embrace your new opportunities.

At midweek, someone you love can help you breakthrough some things that are holding you back. Wednesday presents an interesting mix of energies and some signs that your emotions may be getting in the way of your well being. What’s that mean? Well, for one, what feels good isn’t always the right thing to do. Then on the flips side, if you put things off because you “don’t feel like it,” then you might just be closing an important doorway. Have a reality check with yourself and stay focused on the important things in life.

The weekend rolls in with the Moon working in conjunction with both the energies of Uranus (New Ideas) and Jupiter (Growth), on Saturday. During warm days of Summer, you may have a lot of good ideas for how to develop both your property, and your key relationships. That’s good. But, don’t expect a break-through until you carefully examine all restrictions — both self-imposed and otherwise. Often the only roadblock lies within yourself. Seize the weekend.

“…you have to first discern any self imposed limitations… then break through them.”

Happy Independence day to all Americans on Sunday, as we see a bit of tension in the air. Remember that tension between planets can manifest as areas to look at in your relationships. So, today you have an opportunity to talk and really listen well to your mate about anything getting in the way of your progress. Things never stand still. It will be good for your health to reveal the way of the spirit so you can grow together.

Monday finds the Moon (emotions) squaring off with Mercury (communication), plus three harmonies and three stress points to deal with. When Mercury is involved, this is a sign for you to exercise all good communication skills, both those for sharing yourself with others, and particularly for listening well. The three keys for your growth today are Love, Spirit, and Health. When you exercise your love at the Spiritual level (beyond lust), it brings you great blessings in life. You will find that whatever you thought was holding you back will melt away.

We find just two aspects of focus on Tuesday, as the Moon dances in Trine with Pluto and show tension with Saturn. This is a clear message that in order to get where you need to go in life, you have to first discern any self imposed limitations… then break through them. Often the only thing holding you back is yourself. We box ourselves in, and throw up walls. Someone may have told us we can’t do something… and we agreed. Break that agreement. Do what you need to do. And do so with principles and the guidance of God.
