As the World Turns: Each day, during a block of 24 hours, our Earth rotates on its axis as the energy of other planets and the Moon interacts with all of us below.

Astro Weekend Update

We find the heavens are busy on Sunday, with nine celestial aspects for our consideration. Mars, planet of initiation, and Venus, planet of love appear twice in the scheme of things. A loved one ma conspire with you today to start something new, but you might get a bad feeling about it. This is because you feel better staying in your comfort zone. Not all change is for the good, but you need discern what is — both for yourself, and the sake of your relationships.

“You may be uncomfortable navigating your way through the new ideas and plans for growth, at work and at home.”

Monday starts the work-week with the Moon (emotions) showing an opportunity for transformation in your life. You know how you end a busy day with some real insights on how to proceed? Well, today can be such a day when you deal with your Spiritual side. You will encounter some resistance and “push back”, but don’t become too emotional. This always happens just when you are closest to a breakthrough. Remember to take a break and relax so you can return to work with better focus.

Love beckons on Tuesday, as Venus plays a dual role — filling you up with the mood for romance — whoo hoo. But this is a day to do something you have enjoyed in the past… nothing new. Just enjoy your favorite dinner or lunch spot together. On the work-front, pay careful attention to some important communication. Once you deal with the messages you get properly, you can break through any “road blocks” that have been holding you back.

Wednesday may put your emotions to the test — but remember to embrace a certain amount of tension as what it takes to get things done in this life. You may be uncomfortable navigating your way through the new ideas and plans for growth, at work and at home. But we live in a time of great change, so don’t block it or take things personally. Instead find the old fighting spirit that loves a challenge… and forge ahead.

On the equinox, the power of an eternally fighting bull (personifying the Earth) and that of a lion (personifying the Sun) are equal (from Persian Relief). This balanced transition time represents an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of our lives.

On Saturday, we see some stress in the areas of growth, health, and spirituality. This has been a theme during the week, so examine what you are feeling, and make some prudent decisions. This may take a prayer or two for discernment. The Moon also is squaring off with Mars, and so untangling the emotional blocks can help you break through the road blocks. Follow what is in your heart.

“Tuesday brings in the Autumn Equinox… It is a transition time of balance — an opportunity to look at what brings meaning into our endeavors and lives.”

Sunday is an interesting and opportune day as the Moon dances in trine with Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune — a fortuitous group of planets focused on Growth, Health, and Spirituality. It’s time for some Fall exercise, enrollment in community courses to help you develop yourself, and some Spiritual fun that will help you heal and move forward in your life. We also find Venus (Love) embracing Pluto (Transfomation). Transformation through Love — isn’t that what Love is all about? Listen to your heart today, and you will know what to do.

As Monday rolls in we see the Moon working well with Pluto and Venus to carry Love and Transformation into the work week. Wait a minute — what role does Love have in the work place? Well, since Love is a core emotion it is active even in your career. Do you love what you do? Do you enjoy the company of those around you? If the answer is yes, then you’re in a good place. If the answer is no, then the only question is, what are you going to do about it?

Tuesday brings in the Autumn Equinox — an opportunity to look at what brings meaning into our endeavors and lives. On a day of the equinox, the center of the Sun spends a roughly equal amount of time above and below the horizon at every location on the Earth, night and day being of roughly the same length. It is a transition time of balance. The Moon today finds favor with Mars, Uranus, Mercury, and Saturn, so you will find openings to both learn and discuss new ideas, within a certain balance. At work, your team may be open to new approaches as long as they are within the project budget. In your relationships it is a good time to talk about the future. Find the meaning, and enjoy the Equinox.
