On Tuesday the Astro-energies of Communication and Initiative (Mercury and Mars) combine to help you talk your way to the next level.

It is key to fact things with keen insight instead of allowing emotions to obscure opportunities today.

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.

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.

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.

Here comes Friday, and it looks quiet — can you sneak out of the office early and get some needed recreation? The Moon (Emotions) shows favor with Pluto — a planet that smiles on transformation and renewal. A good place for such a retreat is to relax near a body of water — the ocean or a lake. Reflect on your life. We are so busy with plans, projects, and work, that we often have trouble stepping outside that “box” and back to the “play” that renews us… and actually makes us better at what we do.

“When you have some quiet time, take a moment to see what emotions you are holding that may not be good for your health. Let them go…”

On Saturday, the Moon is working with Saturn to bring about a practical focus in our lives. Stay grounded. Pay attention to immediate needs in the morning, so the rest of the day will feel free of them. Examine your Spirituality once again — it is a big key to your overall health. In a relationship, ask, what are the Spiritual goals for this union? Remember the rule of threes in your love relationships — you choose, pledge and have faith. Choose a partner. Pledge to be true to the partnership. Have faith it is taking you where you need to go.

On Sunday, the Moon squares off with Pluto, dances nice with the Sun, and makes a Trine with Mars. Go ahead and do something you’ve been wanting to do today… a drive to the ocean, finding a new church, a hike, shopping for a home improvement project. Act on existing plans. When you have some quiet time, take a moment to see what emotions you are holding that may not be good for your health. Let them go… use prayer, and discernment.

Six trines make this a most harmonious Monday. Good feelings abound, so now you can get things done. Venus is at play with harmonies with Jupiter (growth) and Chiron (health) — so, take the next step in your relationship… keep growing. The Moon (emotions) is also in harmony with Jupiter and Chiron, for a double whammy — plus, with Venus. This is a powerful “Love” day. Hmmmm. Maybe you should take the day off?
