| Tip of the Week: |
| The Sun shifts from Libra to Scorpio this week and the ‘signs’ are clear to see. Yes, the signs to which Astrology refers are not so much those of the zodiac per se, but to the synchronistic correspondences between the seasonal changes which flow according to a rhythm that is as old as is our planet’s tilt on its axis. As sentient beings co-creating our experiences of life, the intrinsic relationship we share with nature along with the seasonal round is the true formula for understanding the ‘signs of the zodiac’. Some defer to the starry constellations out there versus the natural and rhythmic reality of the seasons and the sunlight on our planet. There is a pseudo science and spirituality linked to deferring to what is going on out there in space versus the very real realities of seasonal changes and ever-changing distribution of sunlight. Also, when the planets are plotted on a Mandala Map, an Astrology chart, in accordance with the year divided by the sunlight cycle, the archetypal power of the planets comes into full view. In other words, until the planets are plotted on the map, the focus on the planets and stars is an astronomical one. But when the planets are plotted and illustrated on the map in relationship to one another, the archetypal perspective is accessed. Until this is recognized and understood, a person’s appreciation of how and why Astrology works is challenged due to an ‘exoteric’ perspective on the intimate relationship we share with the natural order, both seasonally and cosmically. |
| Aries (Mar 21 — Apr 20) |
| Your passions and desires will take an even deeper turn this week. Love may be in the equation, but more primitive and instinctual yearnings may be the source of your arousal. Will you direct this rising heat or will it lead you? Expect sparks to fly to fire up all your engines! The results could be really fun and/or dramatic. |
| Taurus (Apr 20 — May 20) |
| The focus is shifting from work to relationships. Making room for love in more ways than one is a main focus. Sharing responsibilities and negotiating fair deals is on the airwaves. You could feel a little overwhelmed by circumstances for a while and this theme will increase this week. Pace yourself and see the humour. |
| Gemini (May 21 — Jun 21) |
| Some decisions are harder to make than others. Life has a way of making all directions seem harsh sometimes. Accessing our truth is easier said than done, but it is right there. Summon the courage to get honest with yourself first, then others. Having faith in the process is a spiritual challenge. If you merely appease others it will not work anyway. Let your truth liberate you. |
| Cancer (Jun 22 — Jul 22) |
| A passionate mood is steadily rising. Feeling frisky and impatient could go in all directions and probably will. Balancing your enthusiasm with the realities of your energy levels will prove important. Directing your desires with grace and charm could prove challenging, but likely. Don’t just dream, do it! |
| Leo (Jul 23 — Aug 23) |
| A busy social cycle will enter into a quieter flow now. Creating a cozy atmosphere close to home will feel right. Fall cleaning may be part of the plot. Creating a space that lends to creative activity and/or practical affairs is a core motivation. The time is right to strengthen your overall foundation and/or constitution to feel more confident. |
| Virgo (Aug 24 — Sep 22) |
| An investigative mood is directing your focus. You want answers and insights that have substance and use. Some of these will come from research while others will come from a more meditative and/or contemplative approach. Pushing through fears and opening yourself to methods and techniques about ‘how to’ will achieve results. |
| Libra (Sep 23 — Oct 22) |
| Taking new steps and initiatives is the call now. This includes investigations into what you sense you truly need, want and desire. A rebellious urge to push through blocks and opposition of any kind feels right. Tune in to cooperate with the dynamic change process unfolding in you, and at home, and it will bring in some big rewards - soon. |
| Scorpio (Oct 23 — Nov 21) |
| Taking some time out to rest and retreat continues. Learning how to go into the flow and/or do inner emotional work may feel necessary. Listening within for guidance feels more important now than it has for some time. Tuning in to how others see you, what they want and need is ideal for balance. Speak less and listen more. |
| Sagittarius (Nov 22 — Dec 21) |
| Your individuality is coming through loud and clear now. Communicating with yourself at core levels is natural and important. Accessing higher will is important, to assist you to be clear about exercising your personal will in accordance. You feel ready and able to assert your passions. Yet, you want to be sure you are motivated by the best intentions. ‘Thy will be done’. |
| Capricorn (Dec 22 — Jan 19) |
| You may feel like you are on top of the world. At best you feel triumphant, at worst, cold and exposed. Your thoughts and feelings are racing to keep pace. With your ambitions still running high, this is a last call for this round to get the attention you feel you need and have earned. Gather your facts but above all, speak from your heart. |
| Aquarius (Jan 20 — Feb 19) |
| Circumstances are taking a better turn of late. With this your confidence levels are rising. Gathering tools and information to stay on track includes cleaning up your day timer to make way for this incoming boon. Meeting the demand of a rather steep learning curve is where you need discipline. Accept challenges coming from others as part of the game plan now. |
| Pisces (Feb 20 — Mar 20) |
You may be experiencing a stimulated flow coming in now. Money, people and other resources and opportunities are coming in droves. Colourful and moving cultural exchanges are likely features in the plot. These may inspire you to new experiences and experimentations. Having freedom to embrace this flow is a prerequisite for success.
