What NASA sees: Also known as NGC 5128, Galaxy Cen A is located about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Centaurus and is one of the first celestial radio sources identified with a galaxy. If our eyes could see radio waves, we would see this huge neighbor each night in our star field.

Astro-Weekend Update…

Sunday presents some opportunities for you — you should have a good feeling Spiritually about the day whether you commune with Nature, or attend a church session. You may have been feeling some tension regarding what you have to tell someone you care about. Don’t. Proceed and speak from your heart — don’t hold back, but deliver your message with an open mind. This is almost always a recipe for a relationship breakthrough.

Emotional tension is in the air as the work week launches on Monday. Remember that a certain amount of stress about deadlines, quality of work, and what the next step in a relationship might be is often a good thing. This helps you gear up to move ahead. And, like many other days, the key is good and thorough communication. Sometimes you have to pick between a strategy of growth, or limitations — staying on budget, or risking breaking beyond it. Weigh these questions wisely and take advice from those you trust.

By Tuesday, this week, you may have received some messages that make you a little nervous. That’s ok — if it’s about some new ideas for growth at work and home, you may be right to exercise some caution. If each person in a relationship has a different point of view on how to proceed, then you’ll have to “dig deep” to find a good solution satisfactory to you both.

At mid-week, use smart limitations (ie. budgets, guidelines, job descriptions) to help you as you come up against some communication challenges on Wednesday. You might feel as though you are almost to your goal… and you are. But as you know, in business and in romance, it’s all about relationships and working with other people with different points of view. The important thing is to not block off all communication. Handle the matter quickly — don’t leave it on your desk.

Look at what we learn from Light: Image shows the central regions of the nearby Circinus galaxy, located about 12 million light years away (NASA). “God is Light.” “Behave as Children of Light.”

Saturday brings Mercury (Communication) into play with a favorable interaction with Neptune (Spirituality), and some tension with Uranus (New Ideas). Spirituality is of core importance to your life now. Make sure you blast through any illusions out there and examine carefully what is right. The Sun (Personality) is in harmony with Pluto (Transformation), so careful diligence can lead to a breakthrough. Have you read an important book lately? The weekend is a good time for that. Meanwhile, have a look at what may be blocking the growth of your romance on an emotional level (there are books for that too).

“Consider Spirituality: This factor, often overlooked when you are in the “trenches”, is a key to your success. Remember the power of prayer.”

Sunday sees the Moon (Emotions) dancing nice with both Uranus (New Ideas) and Saturn (Practicality), while showing some blockage with Mercury (Communication) and the Sun (Personality). Ok… this means you may have a good feeling about doing something fun — but practical. There are lots of ways to enjoy the day — a church outing, hiking, coffee at your favorite bookstore with your mate. Remember to listen well.

Monday brings a relatively quiet day — cosmologically speaking. It’s a good for romance — whoo hoo — as Venus dances in trine with the Moon. We also see some tension with Uranus and Saturn. Uranus is a large planet with influences extending to toward ingenuity. What about tension? There’s always a bit of stress when you approach new ideas. Use it to inspire your innovation.

On Tuesday, we find the Moon working in conjunction with Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune. You can find emotional strength and even health when you look to strategies and tactics to grow and prosper. Of course this general advice is true almost all the time — but the wisdom of Astrology shows energy in alignment today to make it more possible. There’s also the element of Spirituality to consider. This factor, often overlooked when you are in the “trenches”, is a key to your success. Remember the power of prayer.
