How do the heavens influence us? NASA has been detecting Gamma rays issued from many galaxies, — this artist’s concept shows the results of what new gamma ray telescopes detect — a feeding super massive black hole drives oppositely directed particle jets.

On Tuesday the Astro-energies of Communication and Initiative (Mercury and Mars) combine to help you talk your way to the next level. It’s no mistake that the French have saying, that one can “parlay” their way to a fortune. Never underestimate the power of your word. Stay calm. It is key to fact things with keen insight instead of allowing emotions to obscure opportunities today.

“A loved one may bring you an important message — consider it carefully as it could lead to a real breakthrough. “

At midweek, we find a lot of energies tumbling about so you will probably feel busy on Wednesday. Look for ways to release any blockages in spirituality and particularly misunderstandings — this is the key to good emotional and spiritual health. It’s a good day for romance, so honor those feelings by treating your mate to a meal out, or a special gift. Get creative… you can feel a good idea coming on.

Thursday dawns bringing four harmonies and only one stress point. You may have a dilemma between what you feel about something versus what you think. Solve it and get on with the rest of the day with looks good for communication growth. Remember that to move forward, you sometimes have to let go of something that held you back. Take the initiative and seize the day.

The work-week winds up on Friday with Neptune (spirituality), and Uranus (new ideas), both appearing twice in the mix of astro-energies. A loved one may bring you an important message — consider it carefully as it could lead to a real breakthrough. This could mean you have to get by any feelings of stress you have about current restrictions (budget, time limits, etc.). Think it out carefully and give the proposition a thorough review before you make a decision.

Astro-Energy Outlook:

Tuesday opens up with the Moon (Emotions) in favorable position with the Sun (Personality) and Uranus (New Ideas). These Astro-energies will help you get ahead at work when presenting new ideas, or collaborating with your co-workers. Mercury also works in conjunction with Jupiter to provide the right conditions for talking about growth. This is a good day to make a presentation. There may be something that prevents you from making a move in your romantic relationship — seek to understand what is blocking you.

“Life is full of tests, and you need to pass them to make progress.”

The astro-energies at mid-week show harmonies for communication, growth, and the right boundaries — as in guidelines you set at work and at home — on Wednesday. The day also presents an opportunity for you to get to the root of what has been bothering you in your romantic relationship. You feel that you could get to a breakthrough if… ___________ (fill in what you have been blank about) <– that’s what you need to surface and think about — the emotion that has been subconscious, but now needs some work. That’s right — relationships are work, too… but greatly rewarding, so spend some time on yours today.

St. Patrick’s Day comes in green on Thursday as the energies show a day of stress. Stress? Yes, but remember there are good kinds of stress and also those not so good for you. Life is full of tests, and you need to pass them to make progress. Today, as you are in the spirit of the Irish, take some time to look and and make plans for your own Spiritual needs. It’s one thing to enjoy the party, and another to nurture strength of spirit for your journey in life. Pray for discernment and Spiritual growth.

The work-week winds down on Friday, as the astro-energies move into position for you to make a breakthrough — if you can bring yourself to talk calmly through some limitations that drive you nuts. Work through them, and you will get beyond them. Ask yourself why you fear talking about them with someone who is part of the solution? Boss, wife, partner — time to get it off your chest and make things work better. You can do this.

Wednesday provides a time to focus on two astro-energy concepts: enjoying real love leads to breakthroughs, and tension about new ideas prevents growth. Seem like common sense? It is. But it’s easier said than done. Do you celebrate the real love you find in your life? You should. When you have lived a certain number of years, you will realize how rare it is. But celebrating it will actually open more doors to growth. Then there are people that fear new ideas, and that fear holds them back. So embrace Love, and quality new ideas as you grow in your life.

“…emotionally, it’s a good day to take initiative and do something for the health of the spirit.”

The astro-energies get busier on Thursday as Mars, the planet of initiative, works triple power all in opposition. What does this mean for you? Someone in your life whats to do something that makes you nervous for a reason — it’s not good for your health. You’re going to have to out-think this person and find a new and different way to proceed. Go with your gut instincts.

Friday ends the work-week with Mercury (Communication) playing a dual role with a clear sign that if you use the power of personality, you can find the breakthroughs you seek. Do so within prudent parameters… which can mean staying on budget, not taking on more responsibilities, etc. This can cause a little tension with your mate, but again, use your persuasive power to convince your loved ones you are proceeding in a well-thought out, and measured way.

The weekend begins with three harmonies, on Saturday — emotionally a good day to take initiative and do something for the health of the spirit. These don’t have to be new plans, like finding a new Church or something like that. Instead, just focus on simple ways to enjoy the spirit of living — take a hike with friends, cheer for your favorite team, enjoy family and friends. The important thing is to make plans and follow through on them. Seize the day.

Blue Uranus shows it’s moon, Ariel, circling and casting a shadow on the planet — the black dot you see. This planet is like a mirror for new ideas, but sometimes there is an eclipse of thougth — don’t worry, the light always returns.

Two harmonies were present on Tuesday to help you focus on new opportunities for prosperity. God knows we can use some of that in this time, and so have a meditation and prayer about ways to move forward at work, and also in your relationships. Books help. Think emotional communication. Does this mean that you need to have a fight? No. It means listen to your own emotions, and be open to those the feelings of those you care about — then speak quietly and clearly from the heart. This is a time to research and listen — the time for action will come later.

“…when your emotions are guided by right spiritual principles, you are led naturally to health. That’s the faith.”

At mid-week, we see the Astro-Energies stir up a bit presenting two conjunctions, three stress tests, two harmonies and one blockage on Wednesday. Venus appears twice while Uranus, planet of new ideas, makes a quadruple appearance. Neptune teaches that this day is to be one where the spirit guides your communication in your relationship. Oddly, Venus appears blocking Neptune, so you may find some opposition to the ideas you present. The important thing is to dig deeper and find what is really at the root of any roadblocks. Work on that.

Thursday is a day when we like going to our “corner”, cubicle, man-cave, or favorite cafe and just keep everything else out of our boundary. That’s ok, but remember that love is good for your health, and you can’t do that in a locked room by yourself. There is always some tension between the need to withdraw, then the need to come back in and find the growth leading to breakthroughs — when you are ready. So take some time to get a better hold of things, then enjoy the important people in your life — in the end, that is all that matters.

The work-week ends on Friday with Venus exerting three influences and Mars appearing twice. We can think of Venus as female energy, and today there’s a bit of discord with males. You sisters know what I’m talking about — sometimes you get fed up with men. That’s ok, but sooner or later you have to listen to the language of love — what you feel in your gut, and go with that. Why? Because when your emotions are guided by right spiritual principles, you are led naturally to health. That’s the faith.

Earth and Moon do a celestial dance 24/7/365. We accept this as our reality, with little thought for the influences above… until we see the tides, and until we feel emotions peak during Full Moons. All is Light and all is Energy. As above, so below.

The week starts off on Monday with two harmonies, two tensions, and two blockages in terms of Astro-Energies. It’s a good day to get tasks done. You’re feel stronger today as your personality powers through objectives. Tension occurs in the areas of Health and Spirituality — two linked areas of your life. Take a moment to meditate meditation and pray in order to address this. You are likely to have minor blocks in communication as you try to break through to better understanding with a very important person. Make sure you trust your gut about the best approach, then listen and seek to understand before being understood.

“Life is not about relaxing all the time, and you have to “key up” to make things happen. Have Faith, knowing you can do it.”

Tuesday brings three harmonies and two tensions. The tensions in the area of new ideas for growth are actually a good thing. What…Stress… a good thing? Yes! Life is not about relaxing all the time, and you have to “key up” to make things happen. Have Faith, and you can do it. This is also a great day to enjoy romance, so plan an intimate lunch or dinner with your mate. Your mate can provide the inspiration you need to succeed.

At mid-week, we find that restrictions block our Communication on Wednesday. Get beyond those roadblocks. Is email not getting your point across? Meet in person. You may have a feeling you can transform a relationship or two today, but you have to negotiate the obstacles. Handle any discord with your close partner at work and at home, then move swiftly to clear your desk of any stressful correspondence and communication. Next, take a break and celebrate all that you accomplished thus far this week. You’ll then be in the right frame of mind to forge ahead toward a very entertaining weekend.

Thursday finds a mix of Astro-energies that show opportunities to share some future plans with your coworkers and family, and maybe even that very special someone. Just remember that people fear change, and so at first you may get some resistance. That’s ok. Different people adapt to change at different speeds. But life is all about change, so your new ideas, built on careful planning, will carry the day in the end. It can be draining, perhaps exhausting to a degree… but it’s worth it. Enjoy your day & prepare to have the most extraordinary time this weekend, certainly you make a huge hit with ‘new’ introductions.

Monday launched the work-week with a mixed bag of Astro-Energies. Mercury, planet of Communication, appears three times, squaring off with both the Moon (Emotions) and Uranus (New Ideas), and working in harmony with Neptune — the Spiritual planet. This sets up an interesting dynamic where you must use strength of Spirit to break through any blocks for good communication today — especially when it comes to proposals, presentations, and dialog with important people in your life. You can do this. Call on emotional strength in the areas where you are making progress (ie. resolutions for the New Year).

You have “an opportunity to look carefully at what your emotional intelligence is telling you about some new directions in your life.”

Your Astro-keys for Tuesday are a focus on Communication and its relation to Health. Always remember to get stressful communication done first thing in the day — otherwise it causes you stress much longer. The right Communication you put out today, will also make things easier for you later. Make sure you check what you write, and what you say and run through it with a cool mind and honest heart before you put it out there. In this way, good Communication is essential for good Health — your own health, the health of your relationships, and the health of your business.

Wednesday brings four harmonies two blockages and one tension point to our lives via the Astro-energies. Mars, Planet of Initiation, appear twice — once in harmony with Uranus, and once squaring off with the Moon. So, this presents an opportunity to look carefully at what your emotional intelligence is telling you about some new directions in your life. Why are you blocking them? You can feel what the best healthy choice is, so follow your gut and communicate intelligently about it.

On Thursday, it’s time to smooth over any stress in your important relationships. Take steps to move toward the goals you both want. This applies equally at home with your mate, as it does with important colleagues at work. You’re going to feel some feedback that people are nervous about change — natural isn’t it? Just remember, that not everyone sees the transformation goal as clearly as you do… yet. Hang in there.

“Blazar” Galaxy Sends Massive Energy: People still wonder how planets and celestial objects can influence us. It’s easy. We are energy, and all things in the universe emit energy. Consider the “Blazar” in the picture being studies by an international team of astrophysicists using ground and space telescopes. This NASA project has found, the blazar emits oppositely directed jets of particles traveling near the speed of light as matter falls into a central supermassive black hole.

Astro-Update…

Sunday is a good time to focus on getting closer to your mate, and have a good look at any “unfinished business” that may be keeping you apart. In all relationships there are both boundaries and also plans for growth. It is how well you learn to deal with both of these things that spells the ultimate success of the relationship. Who to proceed? Communicate. And use that most important Communication skill — listening. Not, waiting to speak, but really listening with all of your mind and heart.

“…time brings those answers, and they come via communication — sometimes verbal, and sometimes non-verbal.”

Monday launches the first full week of Autumn with nine astro-aspects in play. We find emotional harmonies with Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus which makes it easy for you to talk about some new plans with coworkers and family. There’s also tension within, which you need to work out. Get all the things that bother you done first today.

Personal boundaries are a theme on Tuesday as the Moon (Emotions) dances in trine with the Sun (Personality) and Saturn (Restrictions). Remember that setting limits and staying within them is wise sometimes, like when you’re on a budget. But “breaking through the wall” is also important at other times, especially when you’ve boxed yourself in by believing wrongly that you can’t make something happen. You can. You just have to believe it, then take action when the time is right.

At midweek, things are kind of quiet on Wednesday with the Moon squaring off with Mercury as it shows some tension with Venus. Venus is the planet of love, and there is both good tension and challenging tension in all romances. Will she or won’t he? Will my romance go the distance? What’s the answer? Well, time brings those answers, and they come via communication — sometimes verbal, and sometimes non-verbal. Look for these signs today.

Energy, Colors, Suns, and Galaxies: NASA and other space telescopes continue to reveal an intense, profound beauty in the Cosmos as shown in this beautiful color photo of “M82 Chandra” galaxy. What wonders are yet to be revealed?

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.

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.
