Horoscopes for the Week of 9.2 :::
Moon transits through Cancer, Leo, Virgo and into Libra this week. Moon is in its own sign of Cancer on 9.2 & 9.3 but will be with debilitated Mars there. Expect fatigue, exasperation and emotions running hot; get extra rest. Mars in Cancer should be considered a rest cycle, treat it accordingly until early October. Next week will bring a bit of relief to emotions and efforts as Moon breaks up the placement of Kala Sarpa Yoga (all planets placed between Rahu and Ketu) that has been going on for weeks. For now, take small steps, don't push too hard, strive to achieve "less is more." New Moon on 9.5 in Leo at 6:37 CDT. Moon will be in Purvaphalguni Nakshatra. The focus is on relationships, the feminine (including divine feminine), creativity, passion and all things related to Venus. There is vulnerability with this new moon so be careful with the aforementioned indications as well as with travel and cars/driving, at this time. This is an exciting and intense week for the planets. Saturn and Rahu are working their way to conjunction in the upcoming weeks and we are already feeling the pressure of these two powerful planets getting closer in degrees. [For more awareness about this transit, visit my previous articles about Saturn and Rahu in Libra.] We also have two planets changing signs on 9.5, the same day as the New Moon. Venus moves to its own sign of Libra (joining Saturn and Rahu there) and Mercury moves to its sign of exaltation, Virgo, as well. Both are in deep sandhi (in the gap between signs) at the time of the New Moon and are thus vulnerable. This week in general is a time of caution- especially from 9.4 to 9.7 when both Venus and Mercury are weak. Unlike some of the other prevalent predictions circulating, I don't see the coming weeks with rose-colored glasses. Yes, Mercury and Venus moving to new houses improves things on several levels. For one, Mercury and Sun will no longer be hemmed in by debilitated Mars and Venus. Secondly, both Mercury and Venus move to houses that will be vast improvements from the last. So yes, there is a trend of improvement. Some will even experience worldly advancements with the heightened influences of Rahu happening, but for the most part, vulnerability still abounds- especially in regard to all things Venus. Debilitated Mars will still be aspecting Rahu and Saturn, but will impact Venus now directly. There will be drishti from the benefic Jupiter on these three planets in Libra (and thankfully Jupiter has moved into Punarvasu nakshatra now, ruled by Jupiter and the deity Aditi, the "Mother of all Goodness"), but for the most part, Rahu is giving us a taste of his insatiable appetite for the worldly. Due to the nakshatras, Rahu, Venus and Mars are highly activated. Temper the cravings, heat and storms, as well as issues with "other" and relationships, through meditation, creative pursuits, seva and deep introspection. Don't fall off the wagon too hard. *The above photo was shared by K.H in response to last week's Creative Engagement Exercise offered in my horoscope post. She wrote: "...As I eased my way into it, I felt my body become light and move solely from heart center, as if every movement that came forth contained a string attached back to the heart. Strings. So many strings. Reaching out, reaching back in. Expansion. Contraction. Always finding a dynamic balance. If my drawing could speak, it would tell me...Let your Heart Beat with the Universe." Thank you for sharing your experience K.H.! If you would like to share your CE work, please email me. Creative Engagement Activity for the week of 9.2 ::: As we bring in the New Moon this week, our energy is restarting anew as well. During the dark half, our energy and focus wanes, and as the Moon begins to brighten, so does our energy and outer focus. This week we will work with the Pelvis, the creative energy center, and in body metaphor practices, the place where we connect with fertility, reproduction, our creative potential, and activation of life. The pelvic bones connect us to our spine and upper and lower body and they house the reproductive organs. Venus is also associated to the pelvis. Start with a gentle pulse. Stand feet hip width a part, bend the knees and find a bounce. Do this until you can drop everything else and you find the release and relaxation. Take this into a pelvis dance. Swing your tail, undulate your hips, lift our legs, rock back and forth. Find movements that feel supportive, soft, grounding, opposites. Notice how the pelvis connects the lower and the upper halves of the body and is a crucial link for movement of each. Take at least 30 minutes for this dance. Come to your drawing pad and draw a large circle. Inside your circle create a New Moon Mandala. When you are finished, complete this sentence: "For this new moon cycle, I am creating". *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic rising sign. You can also check your Moon and Sun signs for further insight. Do the same with your Navamsa signs for further clarity. Do not use these horoscopes with your “Western Sign” as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual’s unique chart. Aries: Continue to look for resources and be solution-oriented. You are your own worst enemy, so seek alliances and teams that bring support and nurturing and be alert to what is doing the opposite- not serving you. Focus on children, education, wealth building activities, relationships, creativity and courage. Watch the anger button and start to catch the heat before you boil. Taurus: It takes great courage to heal and be healed. Use this time for growth on the inner level. Home space is a metaphor for the temple, as body is the temple to the soul. Make home and heart a sanctuary in order to thrive. Create a healing oasis physically and metaphorically. Use this time to be nurtured and to nurture. Find the Seva here. Gemini: Creative and passionate exaltation is rising in you like a golden sun. This week begins a good round for you, but I challenge you to find balance amidst all the creative storms. Diving deep within is your golden ticket to sanity and will bring the ultimate rewards. The inner will help you find the outer offerings. Be alert. I wonder if you'll be able to sit still long enough to meditate or if you'll be too busy hob-nobbing at the cocktail party? Make time for both. Cancer: It is a time of working on the balance of inner and outer, quiet manifestation and clear, focused action, the outer experience of life vs. the inner, quieter realms. Courage to speak these hidden gems and share them with others is mounting. Perhaps sharing more of your spirit, your soul, with the outer world, can help you create more balance on the inner? Are you willing to take the risks necessary to find out? Leo: Unlike the other signs, you are in a dynamic place and can't help your self for making strides. Remember though that outer depends on inner, so external actions need to be in harmony with the inner guidance system. Creativity comes into focus and financial comforts take an upswing these coming weeks. These will likely be connected to friends and acquaintances, so make hay while the sun shines and get off the metaphoric couch. Virgo: Some mental ease is settling in, but minding your gut is essential. Especially watch for constipation. It will take courage for you to shine in the coming weeks- part of you is feeling very alone and isolated. Don't push too hard. Your soul is in a rest cycle, but you can still shine internally. Comfort may feel fleeting and volatile. Use positive affirmations to will away the negative self-talk. Affirm the good and find resources. Libra: Friends and gains bring more support over the next few weeks. Listen to good advice from others and gain from acquiring new skills and resources. You become a whirlwind of creativity and connections over the next few weeks, so "make it work" as Tim Gunn would say. Just remember that team work requires someone to step up and "be the bigger one" sometimes. Scorpio: Right now is a time of drawing back the arrow. It may feel as though your efforts are going into a bottomless pit and will never resurface. Continue to methodically build the empire. It's not quite time to let your arrows go, but keep holding the target in your mind.This week, slow and steady will help you win the race. Sagittarius: All you want is time for your self, but instead you are being forced to deal with others. Here it is, an opportunity disguised as another annoyance, a distraction, a worldly projection. There are gains to be had right now on the outer level so don't neglect conscious action. Learn from everything. Use everything as a metaphor, a mirror to the Self. Capricorn: Your response to relationships, the "other", continue to bring emotional disturbances and discomfort despite your efforts. Don't worry, it's about to all make a lot more sense in the coming weeks. Use this time to spread your wings and catch a breeze. Use what you've been learning to take some emotional risks. Your soul is going through deep transformation. The rest of you will catch up shortly. Aquarius: With four planets aspecting your first house, you may be feeling like the universe is giving you mixed messages. Others are seeing you as a shining light, a beacon, which is very attractive. Find "best practice" in your teaching and advisory roles, your relationships and with knowledge and wisdom from gurus and teachers. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for deep thoughts, make time for them with presence. Pisces: Some things will begin to make more sense now. Relationship transformations heighten in the coming weeks as your awareness heightens. Expect a lot of talking to happen- make it "high level" conversation. Your wisdom is coming from your gut, so don't neglect digestion, and gut reactions. Teach and advise, heal and be healed. Seva is key.

Moon Mind :::
Sunday, Sept. 1st Moon has entered Cancer (its own sign) where it joins debilitated Mars. Both are transiting Pushya nakshatra, ruled by Brihaspati, the name of Jupiter as deva-guru. Today is about finding a sense of balance, emotionally and mentally. Watch where you are pushing too hard or not enough. What toll do the emotional/mental bodies have on the physical? Look to your emotional buttons- what was a missed opportunity for a different choice in behavior or choice in boundaries? Use today to change negatives into positives. Watch the blame game and self-victimizing. Horoscopes for the Week of 8.26
Moon is waning (dark half) and moves through Aries, Taurus, Gemini and into Cancer this week. Moon is exalted in Taurus the 27th to the 29th and moves to its own sign on the 1st. We are still working with two debilitated planets (Venus and Mars) and Sun in its own sign of Leo with a swiftly moving Mercury there as well. Mercury moves into Purvaphalguni nakshatra on 8.27 and Sun joins it there on 8.30. This will increase our focus on creativity, creative pursuits, relationships, money and finances, vehicles and the feminine. Debilitated Venus moves to Chitra nakshatra on 8.31 which may heighten frustrations for some- especially emotions like anger and disappointments. For everyone right now, using emotions effectively and paying attention to emotional ups/downs is necessary. With debilitated Mars with us until October, this is a time to note how we use our energy. Fatigue is inevitable. Do you push through, or know when to stop and slow down? The key word right now is balance. Debilitated Venus thrown into the mix forces us to look at boundaries, communication of one's needs, and being attentive to the 'inner victim'. See my article on the Victim/Critic paradigm posted last week for more details. Creative Engagement ::: Create a "Stop and Go" dance. Use the theme of opening and closing with a focus on the chest/heart region. Start either lying on the floor or standing. Bring awareness to your chest/heart region and play with the collapse and the opening experienced through breathing. You can keep it subtle or begin to exaggerate these movements. Continue to explore and develop this Stop/Go, Open/Close dance and note the other body parts that are used. Shoulders, spine, pelvis etc. are intimately connected to the heart and rib case. Let your dance exploration last at least 30 minutes. Then go to your sketch pad and draw an image that comes to you. Finish this sentence: If my drawing could speak, it would tell me...

Do not use these horoscopes with your "Western Sign" as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual's unique chart. Aries: Find your courage and creativity this week. Expand your list of "all possibilities." Remember that the mind is like a parachute, it only functions when open. Careful with friendships, cars, pets and hired workers. The weekend may bring discomfort in home and heart. Don't blame others for your own miseries and don't take on other's issues as your own. Taurus: Your week starts on a powerful note. Use this time for education, romance, friendships, helping others and getting healing. Use courage and clarity later in the week to communicate your needs effectively. Remember your boundaries and use your heart wisely. Gemini: Creativity and courage are trying to out-do each other. What are you learning about your self here? This week affords you the opportunity to really work on some of the hidden realms that continue to hold you back. How can you work this material into your repertoire? Befriend and develop these characters, don't put them back in the closet. Cancer: If you haven't already grabbed your surf board, now is a good time to catch some waves. Tropical storm season is officially in session and can bring bigger than usual storm clouds, peak waves, or at minimum a tropical depression. Learning the 'zen of cowabunga' is essential. This week, friendships, retreats, boundaries, courage and creativity make a splash. Leo: Learning the art of effective communication is the current mantra. How can careful word choice tend to, and nurture, your relationships? Set aside mind games and mental "one-ups-manship," let the ego drop away and find the essence of human connection this week. There is a natural default of peace here that requires a creativity and a courage to maintain. You may find the vulnerability uncomfortable. Get used to it. Libra: Finding motivation early in the week may prove difficult. Find a way to have a long weekend if possible. Allow time, space and energy for transformations, learning, spiritual practice and self care this week. Don't expect much outer progress- focus on the inner treasures instead. Virgo: Use this week for effective action steps and creating progressive offerings. It may not seem to amount to much- yet. It is essential to realize that baby step eventually amount to giant leaps. Use this week for a "baby steps dance." What are your big goals and desires? Work backwards. What can you do this week that helps you achieve some of the big stuff on the list? Motivate. Ask for help if necessary. Scorpio: Reach out and make connections this week- even if they don't stick; it will be good practice regardless. Attend to your transformations, heart and emotions. Clean up loose ends and tend to relationships. Aim for harmony and balance on the outer and inner. Sagittarius: Taking time to stop and look in the mirror will prove rewarding. Who and what are you looking at? What parts of your self are you witnessing? Learn from others- even if it's what not to do. Use this week for self-reflection, self-care, healing work and tending your inner fire. Capricorn: Hearts broken; hearts mended. Good times; bad times. Happiness and sadness. Progressive days and stagnant days. Open, close. Up, down. Bored yet? After a while all movies have the same plot line. Every story is predictable and has the same emotional rollar-coaster. This week, reflect on finding your creative zen masterpiece. Hint: there's nothing new under the sun. Aquarius: Be a servant of the heart and see what opens up for you in your relationships, heart center, and passions. It may require an unusual creativity for you and feel like endless upkeep, but eventually a new default mode will take over. You may wish to get feedback from others on your new embrace of the heart chakra by wearing a shirt that asks "how is my heart beating?" Pisces: Maximizing the creative self- even when others seem to be crumbling and falling a part around you- is par for this week's course. It takes courage and bravery to put your self first, to recognize that getting your needs met is the essential ingredient for health and balance in your life and all of your relationships. It might be time for some solid alone time, ritualized self-care and tending to your heart flame. Effective boundaries will solve most of your problems. Moon passes through Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and into Aries. Full Moon in Aquarius on 8.20 at 20:44 CDT and will be in Dhanishta nakshatra. Use this time to shine and be seen, but don't be surprised if it is on an introverted level. Emotions can run amok so guard your sensitivity and need for sacred space if necessary.
Mars has now moved to Cancer- it's sign of debilitation- until October 5th. This placement of Mars can create a tendency to "over do it" and often our imbalances with the way we use action comes to light during this time. Be especially aware of emotions- which are just a response to our actions. Work with appropriate boundaries at this time. Be particularly vigilant with relationships- starting with the relationship to Self. Awareness of the critic/victim paradigm can be useful. See my recent article for more details. Mercury moves to Leo 8.20 at 18:14 CDT, while Moon is strong in the 15th tithi. Mercury is weak in degrees and sandhi (in the gap) until later in the day on the 21st. Watch communication, especially with women, relationships in general and creativity. However, the liminal is an excellent place to acquire creative illumination. Use this time to day dream. Just don't expect quantified productivity. Mercury will be transiting Leo with Sun (there in its own sign) and is moving extra quickly right now. Normally it takes about a month for Mercury to make it through each sign, but he will be in Leo for only about 17 days. It's next stop is exaltation in Virgo just as Venus leaves its debilitation sign, Virgo, for its own sign, Libra. Business should get better at that point. Creative Engagement Activity for the Week ::: Create three hearts. One for the emotional, physical and mental bodies (extra credit: make one for the spiritual body as well). Use color, texture, multiple mediums to create your hearts. Give each heart a title and then for each heart, finish these statements: I think, I feel, I imagine. Use these statements to create a haiku for each image. Haiku's are created with three lines- in the form of 5,7,5 syllables each.

Aries: Career may be the focus of the week, but don't neglect home and heart/emotional matters. Relationships in general are creating a bit of pressure and may feel extra demanding, especially those at home and at work. Children and educational matters need your attention as well, but these are shining brightly, so support the tendency. Watch for debts and overspending as well as the temptation for excess sweets, alcohol/drugs and carbs. Get your car tuned up. Taurus: This week's focus is on spiritual pursuits. how does this connect to your career, your offering to the world? There is a desire to create, but a lack of motivation and enthusiasm to follow through. Remember small steps, eventually they get you where you want to go. You may feel a swell of heart expansion, but reserve some of this attention for the Self. Boundary work is a top priority right now. Gemini: This time of expansion is giving you plenty of growth. This week focus on inner transformations and lay a solid foundation for your Self, before throwing your self out into the inevitable spotlight. Outer depends on inner. And though your creativity is at an all-time high, some grounding force is essential for long-term sustainability. Even geniuses need proper TLC and rest. Cancer: Home, heart, relationship with mother, land and vehicles become a strong focus in the coming weeks. This impacts your relationships in general and how you handle them. Watch for internalized and externalized anger, fears and anxiety. Rely on your inner knowledge and awareness to show you the way and use your energy properly. There's a lot of heat inside; channel it for maximum propulsion and put your creative energy to good work. Leo: You are the bright, shiny object everyone keeps looking at. As Mae West said "It is better to be looked over than overlooked." Expect the attention to continue for a while yet but note that creative storms abound, which may make life feel a little less comfortable then you'd like it to. Watch how you treat others and be mindful of the ego at this time. Pat your Self on the back for a job well done, but know when to leave the ego at the coat check. Learn from others at this time- even if it's what not to do. Virgo: If I was your therapist, I would have a little chat about "constructive criticism vs. deconstructive." I would then give homework to you about "dancing with your critic" and ask you to take it on a date, nourish it and create a more compatible relationship with it. This little friend won't seem to leave you alone! Might as well get used to it and figure out how she/he/it can be an asset, a strength even, rather than a debilitating force. Libra: This week has you putting focus on home, heart and emotional matters as well as mother and land/property and vehicles. You may feel the need for a home, some grounding force, or extra support emotionally. Take necessary alone time to move through this. Set goals and desires to paper and give them a structured frame for later activation. Education requires attention as do friendships and lovers. Don't spread your self too thin. Especially these next two months with debilitated Mars in your 10th house of career- the tendency is to push too hard on the out stroke, when the need is to go within. Scorpio: It may feel like meditation is impossible, the spiritual zest of norm is getting lost, and that life's typical magic is feeling numbed down. Remember the simplicity, even the mundane, can be spectacular. Change how you are looking at things- clean your spectacles. Careful with friendships, matters of the heart, father and guru right now. Shine with career and sharing the hidden realms which come naturally for you. Mind your spicy tongue. Sagittarius: Career matters are getting less and less thrilling and home and heart, the things that nurture and comfort, feel much more attractive. Ask for what you need in relationships- without anger and attack. Be especially careful with friends and older siblings. Use some of your creative energy for increasing your skill set, using your hands, and getting physical. But hibernate in bed or on retreat if necessary. Capricorn: Suddenly relationships may feel like a chore and yet maintaining them is of central importance. You may feel extreme power and personal charge- expect others to notice. Can you make this a positive? Career is especially active and demanding right now. It's important to not overdo it, to watch your personal resources, boundaries, and to keep in check your general tendency towards overworking. This is a test. I repeat. This is only a test. Don't get burned out. Aquarius: Your attention on the Self and all the extra effort you've been clocking in on it is admirable. My question is, what is a balanced approach to the inner/outer realms of existence? Both contain truths and can't, should not be avoided. With the Sun now in your 7th house of relationships, expect to restore some balance to this paradigm by forcing you to look at the mirror of truths- the "other". Hmmm. Very chicken and egg of the universe don't you think? Pisces: The "other". Ugh. They take you away from everything- Self time, personal rituals and needs, and seem to create emotional debt! Is it even worth it? This is a time to closely evaluate your relationships, but not necessarily to cash them in! Be really honest with your Self right now. What is working for me? What isn't? Get brutally clear about what needs to shift in order for you to be more fulfilled within your relationships. Do so alone. Take your time. No action steps required. Yet. Moon moves through Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and into Capricorn. Moon is debilitated in Scorpio the 14th through mid day on the 16th CDT.
There is ample movement with the planets this week as well as over the next ten days. Venus has moved into Virgo, its sign of debilitation as of 8.11 and is still weak (sandhi) through the 13th. Venus will be in Virgo until 9.5 (receiving drishti from Mars until 8.18) and during the next few weeks it is good to be aware of the possible feelings of disappointment and irritation that may arise. Look for being overly critical in regard to relationships, creative endeavors and artistic pursuits. There may be irritations, let-downs, the need to do better, have better, make it better. The “not-good enough” syndrome may be working its charm on you. It is important to stop and give conscious attention to these feelings when they arrive. The “critic” is an opportunity for us to work with what is, to attend to what is not getting nourishment, and to find new ways that bring support. Don’t overindulge in sweets and alcohol. Look for an article later this week with more details on working with the critic. Sun moves to its own sign, Leo, on 8.16 where it brings some strength to the overall transits. This week, however, Sun is sandhi as it changes signs and will still be quite delicate. The good news is that Sun will be out of the gaze of Saturn now and will be able to offer some shine, some ferocity and its natural stabilizing effects. This is a positive since Mars will also go into debilitation on 8.19 as it moves to Cancer for over a month (until 10.5). Debilitated Mars will bring a certain impact to our emotions, our heart center, our home experience. Mars will give drishti to Saturn and Rahu (currently conjunct in Libra) which will kick up some storm energy with relationships in general. This will be particularly important to be aware of while Venus is debilitated in Virgo as Venus is the ruler of Libra. Be mindful of your emotional state over the next few weeks and channel this into creative activities as well as meditation and self-care. Look for ideas, projects and creative engagement activities in my daily Moon Mind posts. Mercury joins Sun in Leo on 8.20. More on this next week.

Do not use these horoscopes with your "Western Sign" as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual's unique chart. Horoscopes ::: Aries: There is a lot of movement this week with courage and self-initiated actions as well as with house/home and emotions. Late in the week the energy shifts with children, creativity, sensuality and higher learning. Don’t forget to attend to heart/home emotions and mother matters as a result. Relationships still demand attention and offer great insight and awareness for you. Work with the mental/emotional bodies and allow some transitions to become conscious now. Watch debts and be aware of creeps. Don’t get taken advantage of, don’t become a victim or go into “victim mode”. Knowledge is key. Taurus: Momentum and movement with sustenance and courage takes place this week. You are figuring out how to thrive. What does this mean for you and what does this look like/feel like? How can your home space become a thriving enterprise for you on the inner and outer levels? How can you be in service without feeling comprised and drained? Your ability to give and receive is part of the missing memo. Don’t mistake the lull in romance for your own boredom. Learn to survive and thrive alone and tend to your “imperfections” first and foremost. Gemini: Your dance with the creative has gained some strength recently. Using developing insights into the emotional and mental bodies can intensify your findings and cultivations. Use all of it, the range of emotion, the beauty and the messy, the happy and the tragic. Keep the dial on creativity and use the courage to act this month. How will you charge forward? Even when the emotions and the mind play their tricks? Can you dance with them and alchemically turn them into allies, into support, rather than mischief makers? The opportunities for creating high level art (with self and others) takes center stage in the coming weeks. Find the magic within and with others. Cancer: Take some of this compassion and caring that you gained this last month and carry it forward with the coming weeks. Your heart work continues to be a general and prolific focus both creatively and courageously. Wealth and necessary life sustenance becomes a focus for you this month. What are your greatest needs and desires? Who and what are keeping you from accessing the center of this wealth and nourishment? Enter the critic, the judge. Who is this guy and what can he teach you about your own brilliance? When mental and emotional bodies flare, it’s time for the self care and self hugs. Maybe it’s time to call in a good friend? Or maybe you are your own best friend? Leo: You may find your self working with some sense of “royal discomfort” in the coming weeks. What insights or gains can you carry forward from the last month? What new emotional/mental resources are now working with you, not against you? There may be some imbalances over the next few weeks with your inner and outer realms. It will take courage and consistency to even the scales, but don’t muscle it with ego alone. I challenge you to resource from something deeper, beyond the surface, in order to get the job done. Ask for help if necessary. Virgo: Liberation comes over the next few weeks, but only as you work constructively with the challenges that arise. Discomfort with your self and others hits a maximum and taking alone time might be your only solution. Radical self care, ritualized self care, and dedicated time for spiritual pursuits will serve you well. This week it will take courage to initiate the momentum in this direction. Be conscious, be firm, be regular in your action steps. Find gain through structured activity and stay out of the mire of self doubt, self loathing and self critiquing. Perhaps finding the friend in the foe is the answer. Libra: Movement in and out of your career house occurs this week. Expect some reorganization on the mental/emotional levels. Prepare for a shift later in the week through friendships (a general theme for the month to come) as well as some financial boosts. Your ability to make some strides right now is interdependent on your relationship to self and how in tune with the mental and emotional bodies you choose to be. Storms, relational woes, and career/educations pursuits can all become tools for inner balance. This takes courage and perseverance as well as a certain dedication. Remember, step one foot at a time and breathe. Scorpio: Your transformations are your transcendence. Where most will struggle this month with emotional disconnect and potential mental/emotional discord, you will find a way to use the disharmony in order to thrive and survive. Beyond maintenance, your insights will become a potential tool that can then be offered to others- so take notes. Get really familiar with your critic. Can you give it a name, befriend it, invite it over for tea and scones? Do your research and don’t neglect or avoid. Dissatisfaction can be great medicine if used properly. Towards the end of the week, you start to shine and people take notice. Though this month may not turn you into the next Madonna, you may still end up with a few note worthy accolades. Work it. Sagittarius: Thoughts, emotions and people are moving in....and moving out. Transformations and transitions abound. Who is invited to stay a while longer and who needs to be kicked to the curb? Work your boundaries and get clear within in order to create some new conscious relationships. Father and guru enter from stage right this month. Perhaps some illumination, a spot light, will shine, and some new awareness will be gained. Use this time to gain and acquire knowledge and passion. Be protective of your creativity and who you share it with. There will always be critics and judges. Befriend the haters on an inner level, but don’t put up with BS on the outer. Capricorn: You continue to learn from what is not working, what isn’t serving you or others. This is the “mismatching” syndrome- those who instinctively know what the problems are and find them constantly. These problems may or may not need to be “fixed”. I recently realized that problems aren’t problems until they become conscious. Until the problem is recognized as a problem, it isn’t one. You are wearing your problem glasses right now and yet there’s an ability to use that to your advantage if you work with it consciously. This is your opportunity to create great inner personal change and inter personal change. And of course it starts within. Aquarius: It seems as though the stormy season is your best teacher. Great inner awareness provides the necessary foundation for effective relationships. The movement in and between your houses of passion, service and relationships provides you opportunities to work with your new insights and findings. Partners and “others” begin to shine; don’t get scorched. Watch tempers and temper tantrums. When the energy soars, harness it and use it with purpose. How can you use your emotions as your greatest resource? What can they tell you about your needs? How can you use them as a resource for self-care? Pisces: The theme of being critical of “the other” continues to work its charm on you. Who and what can you learn from when the emotions heat up? How can you keep cool, especially this month as your gut fire strengthens? You will have ample opportunity to digest, to shine in service of others, to cook your debts, but at what costs? Your dissatisfaction with others can become a real pain in the gut if you let it. Resource with the mental/emotional bodies before the fires blaze out of control. It’s an excellent time to put your creativity into action. Create- with self and with others- and see if you can find the alchemy emotionally as a result. Transforming the heat into water and riding the waves is essential. |
