Weekend Update…

Sunday brings the energy of Jupiter (Expansion), and Neptune (New Ideas) into the realm of emotional power. How many good ideas have you had on a Sunday? Write them down. Discuss them with your mate. We also find the Moon (Emotions) squaring off with Neptune and Chiron. No matter your religious belief, each soul you meet and yours as well can find roadblocks from time to time. Follow your heart and right guidance from a mentor you trust.

“…make plans for growth that will bring the transformation you seek.”

The week launches with the Moon sharing strengths with Saturn and Mercury on Monday. Some people navigate through the workplace on gut feelings more than others, but today is a good day to trust an inner hunch about how to communicate the design of an important plan you have. Trust the instinct you have about it. Remember that where teams are involved — whether two in a relationship, or several at work — the key is the right communication at the right time.

Tuesday sets up astro-energies where you feel a certain inner balance and health as you work through your day. The spirit with which you approach your tasks to today is important. Get an important message done and out of the way first. And remember that your love relationships are as important and more important than your career. Take a moment during a break to meditate and pray about your important values then enjoy the day.

Midweek, the Moon is working with Pluto (breakthrough) to set up the potential for a real gain on Wednesday. But you know the old saying, “no gain without pain?” Athletes understand that well, but for the rest of us it means that real progress never comes easy. You might feel boxed in by certain restrictions. Don’t let that chew you up inside. Instead make plans for growth that will bring the transformation you seek. You have time. You can do this.

Astro-Weekly Update…

Here comes Sunday, showing harmonies with Venus and Saturn. Sometimes, love likes restraint. Oh, there’s a time for wild abandon, but there’s also good days to know your boundaries, and this is one. Fix your mate’s favorite breakfast, then step back and give them some space. Meanwhile, take some time to puzzle over how you have been communicating your spiritual needs. It will not only be good for your health, but can lead you to some prosperous new ideas.

“Gut hunches and instinct will tell you more than brute logic this week.”

Monday starts out busy, with a New Moon initiating the week and harmonies along with Jupiter and Mars. This is the time to get things done, in late Summer before the Fall rush, at work. You will encounter the usual blockages by those who fear change and growth, but don’t let that stop you. As long as your plans are in the best interests of your business you should proceed. Romantic life is another story. This is not the day your love life is “going places.” Give it time. Love is like growing a garden — it takes patience.

Live could throw you a few curve balls on Tuesday with tension crackling in the air. Pluto, planet of transformation, appears four times — squaring off with Venus, showing tension with the Sun, and a mixed bag with the Moon. Emotionally, this can leave you feeling that something’s going to happen, but that you don’t have a handle on it. Pray and meditate on this — spiritual guidance is in order. What’s bothering you about your love life? You will need to solve this before you can move forward. Listen carefully to what your “emotional intelligence” is telling you. Gut hunches and instinct will tell you more than brute logic this week.

At midweek, we find just one celestial aspect in focus on Wednesday. The Moon (Emotions) is working in conjunction with Mercury (Communication). This is a good opening for you to work things out with those around you at work, and with your loved ones at home. When you feel you can talk to somebody, it makes all the difference in the world. Practice listening well. Most people simply wait to speak and miss key information that can help you learn about colleagues and friends, and get details you need for your success. Often a complaint in relationships is that he or she “doesn’t listen.” Can you do it? You will be better off when you do.

Astro-Weekend Update…

Saturday shows a quiet day in the heavens, with only two aspects in focus. The Moon (Emotions) is in harmony with Mars (Initiative) — a good sign for getting out and going on a Spring project.  Visit that market you’ve been wanting to see.  Sign up for classes at your recreation center.  There is also some tension showing with Mercury — planet of Communication and Intelligence.  This can happen when someone has something to tell you that they fear you don’t wish to hear.  Listen with an open mind and heart.  Listening is probably the most valuable Communication skill which most people are good at ignoring.

“Speak directly and from your heart.  That opens the Spiritual flow you need to work things out.”

Sunday poses interesting opportunities as the Moon squares off with Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, but also dances in harmony with Chiron, Neptune, and Mercury, plus forms a conjunction with Venus. You may feel that there is a “push pull” going on in your life, like an “on again, off again” romance.  This is your chance to get a handle on what’s happening by showing your love through healthy communication.  Speak directly and from your heart.  That opens the Spiritual flow you need to work things out.

The week starts out with the Sun (Personality) playing a dual role — in harmony with Jupiter (Growth), and at odds with the Moon (Emotions) on Monday. There are times when you are willing to over-ride your gut instincts and proceed with a business or personal decision because you have thought about it logically.  But there’s a reason why you feel tension and hesitation — in a word, balance.  Letting your head lead in decision making over the messages your gut is signaling is not wise.  Heal this “rift” by considering both sources of intelligence — your brain, and your emotions.

Venus shows harmony with Neptune, but squares off with Saturn as Tuesday rolls in. This energy can help you love from the depth of your Spirit, when you see your mate’s true Spirit revealed.  Meanwhile, the Moon works favorably today with Jupiter, the Sun, Uranus and Saturn.  You will find your personality drawn toward bright ideas for growth in your career.  There are no limits to what you might achieve with diligence, and the proper attitude.  Make sure nothing diminishes your Spirit.

The Ways of the Universe: NASA’s Hubble Telescope and other projects continue to bring us wondrous and humbling images of far away galaxies — a colorful kaleidoscope of Light, and a mirror of the past. Most of the stars you see in the sky are indications of their light from hundreds of years ago. Energy, Light, Time all interwoven — the Communication of the Cosmos.

Astro-Weekend Update…

As the weekend begins, Saturday brings a time for some action — within bounds. Stick to your budget, but enjoy a day out.  Or, finish that project… on time and on budget.  You may be short on talk, and long on action.  Great.  Get things done — don’t let anything get in the way.  You can do it at a relaxed, weekend pace.  Remember to enjoy the day too… as you seize it.

Sunday brings a nice harmony of Venus and Mars — Male and Female energies of Love and Initiation. Celebrate that.  Take a long walk with your mate and enjoy the early Spring sunshine.  This is also a time to communicate well about plans for the future.  They don’t have to be big plans…  just dream together about the future.

Monday starts the week with some blockage in the areas of Venus, Saturn, and Uranus. Have a look at how new ideas with some practical options for your love life.  The natural harmonies today are in the areas of spirituality and health.  Emotionally there’s a good chance for progress once you embrace a new approach with those close to you.

As Tuesday rolls in we see emotional opportunities for growth via communication. Good communication is always the key to unlocking the education you need to move forward.  In order to do your part, you have to be prepared and settled emotionally, and that comes from both the heart and the spirit.  Remember to listen — to your mate and to your heart.

Imagine the energy generated in the Cosmos, when entire galaxies collide. Above is a NASA image of such an occurrence. The Hubble telescope caught this image of two gigantic systems containing millions of stars and planets on a collision course. If our little Moon tugs and pulls the great oceans of Earth, then what affect do galaxies have on us?

The end of the week winds down on Friday with a bit of tension in the air, as the Moon (Emotions) looks uneasily at five other planets. Just remember that nothing would ever get done if everything was easy and there was no stress — the good kind of stress, where you work for what’s right and get that good feeling of satisfaction when you’re done. Saturn (Practicality and Restrictions) plays a dual role with both the Moon and Mercury — both at odds. Use this as an opportunity to examine restrictions you feel, or even have co-created… and how to work through them to get what you want.

“Be careful of those around you who might be angling for their own gain.”

The Weekend comes in with a balance of the Moon in three Trines (harmony) and three stressful positions. So the tug and pull of life presents itself on Saturday when you find it opportune to talk about new ideas with your mate and family, but there are some things surfacing that show stress. Good. Stress is required to get things done. Stress reveals areas where you can heal and grow. Embrace it.

Sunday brings a mixed bag of a day — celestially speaking. We find Mercury squaring off with Jupiter, and the Moon squaring off with Venus. This indicates a day when talking about forward looking plans may not set well with your mate. Meanwhile, the Moon is making nice with Saturn (practicality) and working in conjunction with Mars to make a nice practical break in order — go to a movie, enjoy a bookstore… have a nice latte as the weekend concludes.

Monday comes up with a number of emotional tension patterns in the cosmos. Good. Good? Yes, it is emotional tension, handled properly, that creates a lot of the motivation to get things done. Be careful of those around you who might be angling for their own gain. Attempt to surface emotional motivations calmly and rationally — both your colleagues and friends… and your own. Venus is showing harmony with Pluto today… so some activity in your love life can lead to a breakthrough in the understanding of your relationships.

Tuesday is looking mostly quiet — but watch the communication carefully. Mercury (Communication) is squaring off with Chiron (Health), so the best policy is to listen well, and pray for discernment. Take your time and think carefully about what you hear before responding. The Moon plays nice with both Venus and Pluto today, so follow your heart and you can enjoy a new level of satisfaction with friends and in your important relationships.
