Tip of the Week:

The synchronicity of planetary alignments with the slow down in the world economy includes Saturn in Square aspect to Pluto. This aspect always brings change regardless of the planets involved. The change is often sharp, challenging and even harsh, yet dynamic. With Pluto in Capricorn, the sign of governments and all organized institutions and Saturn in Libra, the sign of justice, balance (or imbalance) and lawful actions, aptly the reaction of the establishment is to introduce harsh new laws. The HST tax and the C6 Bill, the follow-up to C51, which will impose harsh restrictions to health supplements and, in the U.S., HR475/S425, the Bill that aims to make organic farming illegal, are just a couple of examples. The main point is the synchronistic timing. Astrology is the science of planetary cycles of alignment and timing. It brings insight to the meaning, purpose and affect of important trends, themes and events on both collective and individual levels. The gift of Astrology is that it stimulates awareness so that we can make better, more informed choices. Making mistakes is a part of life, but making fewer tends to feel better. Astrology proves that randomness is not absolute and that the flow of life is rife with meaning and purpose. For most people, life without purpose or meaning is perhaps the most depressing of all notions. Astrology reveals that life does have meaning and purpose; are you aware of and in-tune with yours?

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Deep passions continue to guide your focus. Your determination is strong now. You may even feel ruthless somehow. Pushing through and beyond existing realities is important. Renovations of some kind are a distinct possibility. Yet, discretion is also on your mind. You only want to disclose just so much. Thoughts are powerful and spoken words even more so; empower your self with both.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Endings and beginnings characterize this current cycle for you. This is probably especially the case in your most intimate relationships. Money, sex, power and other deep psychological themes are likely. You want to be more aware and informed. Drawing secrets from partners and revealing hidden truths with them may come with an added sting, yet may also prove liberating.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

The time has come to move on somehow from existing rhythms and patterns in your usual routine. There may be some lingering resentments and/or regrets you simply cannot and perhaps do not want to hide. Your confidence these days has been up and down like a roller coaster. This will continue for a while yet. Be careful of casual attitudes and choices as the consequences may be extra large.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

You are in the midst of a creative cycle. Investments of some sort are implied. As much as you want to play, you are also hesitant to leap without looking twice, at least. You are willing to make some extra efforts as necessary. With an abundance of faith, on one hand, and some real fears lurking close to home, on the other, you may feel strongly pulled in different directions.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

A rich mix of snarls and growls, sighs and purrs may be heard in your den these days. From bitter to sweet and back again, this cycle is hardly mild. Yet, you also feel strong and determined and are ready to play and do whatever it takes to prevail. This is a good time to clear the clutter and clarify your focus and objectives. The secret is to know precisely what you want, and need and the difference between the two as well.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

Many thoughts, feelings, ideas and plans are running through your mind. At worst, you feel a bit scattered and overwhelmed. At best, you are gaining some deep and penetrating insights. This is a good time to do your homework. Establishing a healthier financial base is likely. Be patient with this process, yet deliberate and sure. Know your responsibilities and liabilities well to activate your will power.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If you are not already on a roll, you are determined to activate one. Sometimes it takes a little longer to build a momentum. Your mood may be rather serious these days. You are determined to secure your position somehow. This is an important foundation building phase. A revision of priorities is underway and most everyone is probably feeling it. Reconsider what you need.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A pioneering attitude continues to lead you forward. Desires to move on from old relationships and/or behaviour patterns are strong. You want to make some key creative moves, to work smarter than harder. You are aiming for a clear and unobstructed focus. Frivolity and distractions may leave you cold. You are determined to negotiate for a new deal that will lead you to feel more secure.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Getting a lot done behind the scenes is keeping you busy. You are in the mood to get a lot done and so want to assert a dynamic lead. Returns for past efforts are rolling in steadily these days, for better or worse, and perhaps a mix of both. Establishing a more solid base is part of the plot. This includes a streamlined approach to achieve efficiency. Expect the unexpected to sustain confidence.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Rubbing elbows with people of influence and affluence is likely. The response from both sides may be mixed, however. Everyone has an ego and you are being reminded of this fact. Yet, you are determined to succeed and are willing to face your fears and remain focused on your bottom line. You should have reason to celebrate achievements; yet follow through in all respects is important as well.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

You are in the spotlight now, yet there may be a mixed review. Either some real issues are on the table and/or perhaps you do not want the attention. You are ready for change but may feel delayed, unready or stuck somehow. You feel increasingly rebellious all the while. Be patient with this and trust that the flow will resume more fully in a few weeks and you stand to be extra busy in a few months.

 Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

A mix of passions, deep feelings, dark moods and perhaps a few fears are lurking in your mind stronger than usual these days. Taking risks and challenging the status quo and traditional expectations is not just what you want, it is what you feel you must do. Like driving through a fog, you feel compelled to continue, yet may not feel as confident as you like. Accept this cycle as one of paying dues.
