Horoscope of the
Week:
By Michael O'Connor
23 September, 2004
Tip of the Week:
From an Astrological perspective at least, this week
is quite a shift from last. Sun Jupiter and Mars are all
now in Libra from Virgo, and Mercury is soon to follow.
So, in addition to a new season, we have new energy from
a stellium of planets changing sign. Perhaps most significant
among them is Jupiter because it will remain in Libra
for about 13 months. Jupiter in Libra is about beauty,
harmony, peace and, above all justice. At worst, Jupiter
in Libra indicates a repression of anger and other not
so pleasant, yet authentic, emotions for the sake of harmony.
However, with Mars currently in Libra through to almost
mid-November, harmony will yield to the fight for justice
where and when necessary. With Venus, the ruling planet
for Libra, currently in Leo until October 3, the fuller
impact of this dramatic alignment should hold. This is
especially so with Mercury entering the sign of the scales.
However, when Mercury enters Scorpio in mid-October, the
real impact of this series of planetary ingresses will
become more obvious. Yet even more excitement will begin
when Mercury enters Sagittarius in early November and
remains there until the early New Year, due to the fact
that it will retrograde while in the sign of the archer
from November 30 to December 20. This is an autumn line-up
sure to stir some excitement!
Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
With a new season now on its way, you should be back in
the swing. With all the organization and adjustment largely
complete, the emphasis swings to relationship. Now you
can cultivate friendships, turn on the charm and perhaps
cast a few love spells. However, given the planetary line-up
for the next few months, you do well to keep the social
scene light and maintain a healthy flow of discipline.
Embrace your friends and loves backed by intentions to
achieve on more sober fronts as well.
Taurus (Apr 21 - May 20)
Making some much needed changes in the overall quality
of your lifestyle is in focus. While tending to creating
more beauty and comfort in your physical environment,
the emphasis is also upon psychology. Current attitudes
often have a root in core beliefs. Changing our attitude
sometimes asks that we re-address those beliefs and this
is the basis of psychology. A beautiful attitude is truly
the makings of a beautiful day. Above all, embrace yourself
as a spiritual being.
Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)
You are in a much more creative flow now. The desire to
color your world with bright, uplifting laughter, play
and love is on your mind. Now is the time to follow through
on such intentions. Noticeable changes in your life since
about March 2003 are in need of further adjustment with
emphasis on refinement, creativity and beauty. Whatever
you decide to do, go big and plan to invite your friends
to join the celebration!
Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 21)
You are in the mood to make some pretty big changes close
to home. This could include renovations of one kind or
another. Personal relationships and your social life will
feel the effect. In any case, you are in the mood to take
some measurable new initiatives. Much of this has to do
with an emerging feeling of confidence in your leadership
powers and abilities. With this attitude, you are on the
right track. By intention, begin now, let the intention
simmer over the winter and launch big in the spring!
Leo (Jul 22 - Aug 22)
An exciting series of new waves are beginning to wash-in
on your shore. New contacts, friends, plans and opportunities
are getting you excited. Get ready to be busy on a variety
of fronts. This week is a good time to brainstorm for
creative new ideas. However, you may not be ready to commit
to anything for another week or so. Awakenings at deeper
levels of consciousness since Uranus in Pisces in March
2003 are ready to break more fully into your conscious
awareness. "Houston, we are ready to start all engines!"
Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 21)
Taking stock of your skills, assets, and other attributes
is now in focus. O.K. this also includes your stuff too.
The latter may be old junk taking-up storage space or
it may be negative patters of thought, perception and
behaviour. Nothing personal, most everyone has at least
some of it. More positively, opportunities to follow through
on dreams are coming your way. To this end, remember that
the past does not equal the future. Get ready to reveal
more of your beauty.
Libra (Sep 22 - Oct 21)
With all the new planetary energy in your sign, you have
reason to feel the excitement. Pioneering initiatives
of one kind or another are gaining your full attention.
You are in the mood to make some bold, clear decisions.
Delays, especially in your career remain likely, so exercise
patience and continue to work with the process. New beginnings
of one kind or another are immanent. Accept the ongoing
changes in your lifestyle and visualize success!
Scorpio (Oct 22 - Nov 21)
Making efforts behind the scenes is now a central theme.
You may be planning and scheming, reflecting and dreaming.
You want to learn and exercise new creative tools and
modes of approach. Productions of one kind or another
are a source of excitement. Building upon a stable foundation
takes time and often requires the overcoming of fears.
Surely, you have been doing this slowly, at least, over
the past couple of years. Sometimes, finding one's true
place of power in the world takes a long time. Slow but
sure!
Sagittarius (Nov 21 - Dec 20)
Ideals about justice and fairness are streaming through
your mind. You are ready to take some deliberate action
to make your case clear. Keeping an open mind and being
willing to cooperate will go further than a rigid attitude.
Separating dreams, ideal, fantasies and realities into
their consecutive groups may allow you to re-combine them
more effectively. This is a good time to think globally
and act locally. Intend to be of genuine service.
Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19)
You are in the mood to balance the budget and accounts.
Making investments of one kind or another is gaining your
attention. Gaining favours and well-earned rewards is
in the cards. The key is simply to ask in as firm, straightforward
and diplomatic a manner as you can. Refusals will be met
with resistance and possibly force. While you may prove
to be more negotiable than you think you are, you will
not take kindly to compromising your position too much.
Integrity seeks a win/win deal or no deal at all!
Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 19)
The needs of the greater good are increasingly gaining
your attention. We live in a world that is quite complex.
Material ambition and lust for power backed by fear is
everywhere. Financial exclusivity is the reigning monarch.
All the while the ecology is in agony. The need for reform
is trying to break through the collective brain wash.
However, every crack is covered with more brain wash.
Yet, truth and justice cannot and will not wait much longer.
The time to take deliberate action is dawning. Take the
time to contemplate and review what constitutes a sustainable
vision.
Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)
A deepening of your bond on relationship fronts continues.
This includes the relationship you have with you and the
overall health and quality of your life. Merging in heart,
mind and soul with someone else you love figures prominently.
In certain respects, you are ready to give more fully
and in more ways than even before. Building the love you
truly desire takes time and requires steady, patient effort.
Intend to embrace your life and love more fully than ever
before; the rewards will be yours to share.
