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.

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.
