Tip of the Week:

Libra is the sign of balance. Woven into this theme is a riddle: the balance point is ever moving. From the cosmic to the molecular and everything in between, life is about movement. Paradoxically, even when we are apparently still there is movement in the flow of our mind and body functions, the planet in motion and so on are more aspects of this dynamic flux and flow. So, the key to balance is to tune-in and move with the processes of change. Call it keeping pace, moving on or attunement to life. As obvious as this may seem, there is a natural tendency to want to resist change as well. Sometimes it is a person and sometimes entire institutions and collectives of people resist the flow of change. In so doing, they become unbalanced and, by extension, cause imbalances in others. Consciously flowing with change means letting go of the past; this is often easier said than done. For humans resisting the flow of change is often a sign of ego centricity. We can also work with and help guide change and preserving some elements of the past has its merits. Yet staying balanced mostly means consciously tuning-in, yielding and creatively cooperating with the flow of change. Doing so is literally at the heart of what can be deemed ‘the art of life’. Sensitivity, discernment, intuition, vision and wisdom are some features of this art. Conversely, both resisting change and pushing too hard to cause change represent extremes that cause imbalances. These reactive tendencies are common daily occurrences. Addiction is another symptom of our lack of awareness and/or respect of this principle of balance. Create balance with variety, acceptance and respect for the law of change.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Desires for more passion on relationship fronts continue to guide your focus. It is important that you be committed, disciplined in your focus and patient. Knowing in detail what you want will help. Take the time now to discern your priorities. Hesitation now could result in indecision and delay. Beware of cynicism leading to doubt yet do act with sober realism.  

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Creating a healthy balance in your overall lifestyle is now a central theme. Deciphering what is out of balance is a good place to begin. Take a creative approach and be willing to ask for and listen to the opinions of significant others. Security is likely to be a priority yet passion will rank high as well. Other key areas include quality of friendship and work satisfaction.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

A strong sense of commitment to the future and to acting with a larger vision is rising. You are willing to work hard and give to the situation as necessary. Yet, your confidence levels may not be so high. There are probably others to consider and you are wise to share your thoughts and feeling with them. Simply accepting the reality of your situation will prove liberating.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

A serious mood is upon you. Circumstances of late are giving you reason to make important decisions. These may be leading you to face fears. Others will not easily give in and your situation demands that you make hard choices. These probably constitute investments of time and money. The good news is that these will bring rewards. Take responsible action.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

You have begun an important learning period. What to focus upon may be in question. Somehow you are meant to dig deeper, and get to core levels. Some form of change or renovation in the scope and quality of you knowledge is required. Work with these changes with aims to improve what you do. Take a realistic approach and eliminate idealistic notions that may be weakening your position.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

The time has come in your life to build upon new foundations. This process has likely begun in spring. Now it is time for the next chapter. This will require that you entertain new possibilities and actually take realistic initiatives. Diversifying your focus and adding to your list of offerings may be necessary. Take a constructively critical approach and do what you feel you must to succeed.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are in a determined mood. This will lead you into new territory. It may be a new attitude, focus, strategy or place altogether. Sometimes, all we have to do is change our mind and the rest will follow. A realistic assessment of your situation may be required. Perhaps you want to break away from old habits that are actually addictions. Set your sights to break free.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your ambitions are on the rise, again. As much as you would like to take deliberate action, it is also likely that you will get much done behind the scenes now as well. While following dreams is ideal, you may also have to make a more realistic assessment of your situation. Changes in your lifestyle in this regard are also likely. The time to act deliberately on this may only be in a few months. Prepare now!

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Meeting new people and making new friends is a current theme. Renewing old friendships also applies. Some of these may be with family members. All the while, summoning the courage to clear away emotional blocks and attachments to security that no longer serve is part of the plot. Your willingness to listen well and keep and open mind will bring peace and harmony.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are at a high point and your strength and achievements are evident to many others. What obstacles you have had to overcome may be less evident however. Sometimes others pay process for our success. Some may be willing to forgive yet not all. So, now you must face new challenges. Some of these might seem quite complex. Honour your achievements and stand strong on your own feet.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

Honouring the spiritual side of life is valuable and rewarding. However, it does have its tests as well. Faith, trust, patience, sacrifice, perseverance, vision and wisdom are both the price and the reward. How you define and orient your spirituality is up to you. Learning skills and acquiring tools and knowledge to purify and refine your focus is important now. Investigate the possibilities.

 Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Shedding skins is part of life. These may be literal as in the ongoing exfoliation process, yet also psychological. Thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and self-concepts and so on all represent ‘skins’. This natural process is a feature of our growth and evolution. Attunement and cooperation with this flow is a spiritual attribute; resistance is egoic, more painful and creates dulls sensitivities and intuitions. Cooperate consciously.
