Month: August 2009

This week brings everything and nothing. It is a zero sum game. The planetary influences come together to create a moderate amount of anxiety. It is hard to detect exactly where the pressure is coming from but it weighs on you nevertheless. This anxiety tends to sap your strength so it is important to be kind to yourself. Take extra vitamins and don’t overwork.

Fill your hours with activities that allow you to sweat out the toxins that could be accumulating due to added stress. Take a long walk, go to the gym, ride a bike. Doing something physical will reduce your feeling of anxiety. Keep your attention focused on situations that require your immediate action. Don’t worry about things that are far in the future.

This would be a good week to concentrate on your finances. Try to organize them so that they don’t distract you when other important issues are pressing. Organize your finances so that you don’t have to revisit the matter for at least another year. This will free your mind to take care of emotional and intellectual problems.

There appears to be information coming your way that may change your perception of a current situation. Be open to this as it will create a golden opportunity for you in the near future. Friends support you at this time.

Things become crystal clear during the week. With the Moon in Libra you are feeling amiable and very cooperative. Enjoy this relaxing period. The Sun is just entering the sign of Virgo which will direct your attention to practical matters. This will help you to develop a step by step approach to problem solving. Patience is the only virtue. Virgo tends toward the commercial aspect of things so if you are promoting something this is an ideal time to hatch a plan. Don’t get caught up in perfectionism…just get it done.

You see where things are headed and you can cut off any unpleasant situation before it has a negative impact. Your imagination it at work and you are solving many of life’s problems while you sleep. You’ve been working 24 hours a day. This may make you feel slightly fatigued but don’t worry. You will get a second wind.

Also, you seem to be brimming with bright ideas. Put some of them to work. Don’t talk yourself out of them. Just do them. Doing things reduces a lot of anxiety. When you are just thinking it can make you feel edgy. Take action!

You may undergo a transformation in your relationships with others. Suddenly, you realize that you can only change yourself and not other people.

This week is going to be a very active week. Many planetary influences are at work. Also, this week seems to be a week that delivers or ties up loose ends in preparation for completion of business affairs. Clarity may be somewhat challenging to obtain but take it slowly and you will make the right decisions. Your reaction time may seem slower than usual. Spontaneity is well prepared.

You may find that you get better results if you don’t ask too many questions. Then if you ask the answer will probably be “no”. Better to forge ahead as long as you are not breaking any laws. It reminds me of the story about the game warden. A man wanted to go fishing on the game reserve so he asked the game warden if he could fish there. The game warden said “strictly forbidden”. The man then asked why are there people already fishing over there and the game warden replied “they didn’t ask”.

You may find that your timing is off. Make sure you listen carefully before making judgments. Success often depends on being in the right place at the right time. You can be there if you use foresight and anticipate the actions of others. Life is a game but it is also serious. Be vigilant.

Curb your generosity for this week as it seems the world is filled with panhandlers. Everyone has a more compelling sob story than you do. Unfortunately, people generally don’t have pity, so don’t fall under that impression. It’s better to be realistic and rely on yourself. There is no one more trustworthy than someone who doesn’t need anything. People sense your independence.

Mercury in Virgo suggests that you spend a lot of time learning the details of any transaction. You’ll want to get down to the nitty-gritty. By doing this you will eliminate any unpleasant surprises. Read the fine print. Also, timing becomes an issue so don’t hurry too much. Go slowly and you will arrive sooner.

You may feel slightly agitated during the week. You will feel as if there is something that you are missing. All the pieces of the puzzle are not yet visible, don’t make any rash decisions until you can see more of the picture. Again, resist the urge to put pressure on yourself or anyone for that matter.

Sudden revelations about your profession may come to you during your dreams. Allow the information to surface in your conscious and allow this to help you make future determinations. This is as reliable a source of information as any.

It appears that the King has no throne. Therefore to lead he must present himself on a more personal basis. Any good manager of people knows that you have to relate individually to your team members. You don’t sit on your pedestal and bark out orders.In the workplace that will get you quickly removed from your position. Much better results are achieved on a level playing field.

The Moon in Capricorn has you holding back your real feelings but this works only temporarily. You must look for a mature and constructive way to approach people with a difference of opinion. Don’t expect them to necessarily agree with you but let people know how you really feel. It gives them an alternate perspective even if they continue to think they are right. As Voltaire said, “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend until death your right to say it.”

Important situations are underfoot. Do your best to be prepared for any outcome. Be flexible and deal with them in the most effective and efficient means possible. You can’t do more than your best. Also, don’t depend on the approval of other people. Belong to yourself.
