Tip of the Week:
Scorpio is the sign most strongly associated with psychology and depth psychology in particular where deep changes are needed and some form of literal transformation of perception, belief or emotion is the goal. This relatively new branch of knowledge combines philosophy, spirituality and science. The science part is linked to how the brain works and to our genetic inheritances. Not surprisingly, Scorpio is also symbolically linked to inheritance, for better or worse. Adoption also comes under the characteristics of this deep and mysterious sign. While humanity has advanced quite considerably along the path of psychology, it is interesting if tragic to learn how little people really actually know of their own psychology. Leaving deepened self awareness to psychologists is a forfeit of one’s own power. Given the importance of knowing better who we are, one would think that many people would be more interested, but this does not seem to be the case. Perhaps this trend will change. Especially now with an economic recession underway our priorities will change and may again lean towards a spiritual realization. As souls incarnate, we are wise to summon the will and courage to know better who we are and not simply focus on the material aspects of life. The evolution of the soul is not so much the domain of science as it is that of psychology which puts it in a special category. Astrology is a form of natural psychology and there are many Astrologers who study psychology and vice versa. Awareness of our own psychology is a key to leading a healthier, happier and more authentic life.
 
 
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Your mood is deep now and you will dig to get answers. You are ready to push through and beyond all barriers. This could lead to profound and important inner realizations. Otherwise, a passionate surge backed by some big ambitions will lead you into new territory. Whether in mind, body or soul, you will cover ground this week. Wear a disguise to express otherwise hidden characteristics.
 
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Some very provocative energy is stirring the pot for you. Your ambitions are on the rise and you mean business. Yet, you are wise to think twice about entering into deep commitments now. This especially refers to investments and financial interests and trade deals in general. Exercise patience and be willing to learn. Ask questions now and spend more wisely later.
 
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Consuming and eliminating are two sides of the same coin. For the sake of balance it is important to honour both. This could apply to stuff, food, experiences or anything. Significant others are pushing you to create a healthier balance. There may be certain people who want you to do their bidding, but they may not be so interested in what you truly need – be aware. Meanwhile, push to clear.
 
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
You are in a creative and passionate cycle now. You are in the mood to invest your energies somehow. Be careful you do not take on more than is good for you, but it is likely. At best, some important new commitments are brewing. To succeed, you will have to acknowledge, then confront then overcome whatever frightens or worries you. Be willing to do the work and exercise faith.
 
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Your mood may be rather deep and intense these days. At best this will lead you to uncover some profound truths and insights. Generally, you feel playful and sporting, but this could be translated into hard work you enjoy. Your willingness to listen well and learn from others is ideal. Also, be open to messages and inspirations emerging from within as many are likely and could prove profitable.
 
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
You are in a busy cycle. Covering a lot of ground on a variety of fronts may be a challenge. Yet, you want to get to the bottom of things. Half measures will not due.  Other key players on your stage may be a source of inspiration and even creative genius. Whether you feel confident enough to trust them or the process is another question as your scepticism levels may also be running high.
 
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Making use of resources, yours and those of others, is a central theme now. At best this includes sharing and exchange. At worst, competitive attitudes will emerge and silently create divisions. Fortunately, you have just entered a cycle during which you can expect higher than usual energy levels. With new challenges and responsibilities to tackle, you will want to be at your best. Negotiate for fair deals.
 
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You are in the mood to advance your position. To this end you need knowledge, information, insight and perhaps a good lead or two. As old passions, dreams and aspects of your old persona slowly yet steadily fade away, you may find yourself in new territory. You may be wondering, ‘if not this, then what?’ With new twists on old talents many things are possible. Take an innovative approach.
 
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Balancing an inner urge with outer assertion continues. To succeed, you will have to manage your energy levels more than usual. Adequate rest and/or activities behind the scenes that are not too taxing of your energy levels will help. This way, you will have all your energy reserves available to assert as necessary, and you will want to. Some good initiatives now will lead you into new and better territory soon.
 
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Sometimes it is what you know and often it is who you know that makes all the difference. Who you know and who has the pull and influence you need is on your mind. Yet, be careful about who you enter into contracts and business dealings with now. At least read the fine print. If big investments are required, proceed slowly. Keep an open mind, yet be careful not to scatter your energies.
 
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
The time has come for you to gain some well earned recognition. You may still have to work for it but be careful not to push it away. If it comes, accept it graciously. You could use this energy pattern to advance your position somehow. Career is implied but so too is your overall state of health.
 
 Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
An adventurous and philosophical mood continues. The time has come to share what you have learned and earned. However, also be willing to listen and learn more. You may enter into some form of training that could change your life for the better, or perhaps you are the one giving the training. Either way, a dynamic cycle is unfolding and will cause you to shed some old skins.
