Healthy Stress, and Listening Well

“As above so below” goes the ancient saying, and the heavens can be a mirror of our world and all its energies as this intriguing photo from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope shows. The Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our own Milky Way galaxy, in some ways resembles a large world in the cosmos.

Astro-Weekend Update…

Saturday finds two astro-aspects brought to bear on the weekend, with the Moon showing tension with Uranus, and in opposition with Mars. You might be feeling you don’t want to do anything new today… just hang out in comfortable clothes at the coffee shop in the bookstore. It’s a perfect day for that… wind down and debrief after the holidays. Isn’t that what weekends are for?

“And, as life goes on, aren’t we all continually launching idea arrows, starting new projects, and taking new approaches to problems?”

Sunday shows some tension in the area of communicating about matters that might feel restrictive. One example — staying on budget. Listening well, and cooperating in the best Spirit of compromise can get you where you need to go. Remember to first consider what you are feeling and deal with it. Don’t hold any grudges. Speak your truth honestly and quietly. Then do what’s best for God, your relationships, and your self.

On Monday, the Moon joins forces with Jupiter, planet of abundance to indicated a time when breakthroughs may come. How so? Well nothing comes to you except through communication, so practice listening and speaking well — it is the secret to all success. There’s a bit of tension in the area of “restrictions” today. Feeling a mid-month budget pinch? Remember to plan ahead, and that it all works out in the end.

The Moon shows some stress with Mars on Tuesday. Recall that there is good stress in life, like that in a bow before you launch an arrow. And, as life goes on, aren’t we all continually launching idea arrows, starting new projects, and taking new approaches to problems? So remember to use any gut reaction to what you need to do, as the kind of stress that makes you attentive, and ready for growth. The heavens also indicate you should have a look at your love relationship today — what stress can you set to rest there?
