“Divide & Conquer”

This should be a great week for kicking off new projects that have been in your mind for some time. You suddenly see an opportunity to put your ideas to work. Some of the planets have moved into direct motion such as Venus, Jupiter & Neptune and this does give a forward momentum. However, we are still being held hostage by Uranus retrograde in Pisces. Uranus in Pisces goes direct in the beginning of December and this will start to untangle any obstacles that have been standing in the way of your ambition.

It has been a slow recovery over a period of a couple of years but you will now start to see some real gains in terms of your financial situation. You will begin to feel that your security is more solid. You will feel like you stand on solid ground. This will add to your total enjoyment of life as insecurity is an anxiety that take it’s toll on your entire being.

The Sun in Sagittarius brings out your adventurous nature. Do something out of the ordinary. It is good to do something new whenever possible. It keeps you from becoming too stagnated. Always try a fresh approach to problem solving. Doing the same thing over and over with the same results makes no sense.

It is always good to know that even when you are at checkmate, you can always begin a new game. It also is a good to know when you have succeeded. Some people don’t realize that they have won and go on to undo their winning. Be aware of the subtle signs around you. Take responsibility for being a winner.

Smooth Operator

This week has the advantages of Venus in Libra and Jupiter in Pisces both of which just went direct. You may not be feeling ebullient yet however as there are bigger things at work behind the scenes. There is an air of discontent and also the feeling of insecurity that prevails. This will subside in the coming weeks and months.

You find yourself unable to make commitments that ordinarily come easily to you. Something is holding you back and you are not sure what it is. Nevertheless, you are functioning rather well and don’t seem physically too drained from these uncertain circumstances. Keep your focus on the present. Don’t allow yourself to dwell in the past or look too far ahead in the future. If you are in the present, you will experience must less anxiety.

Mercury and Mars are conjunct in Sagittarius so even when things don’t go exactly as planned, you have the ability to derive the lesson from this experience. Also, you may be feeling blocked. You may feel as if there are immovable obstacles that have been put in front of you. But you are also feeling impetuous. Make sure you don’t do something that you will soon come to regret. Don’t have a strong reaction to any situation.

Spontaneity is well prepared. Don’t let down your guard in unfamiliar territory. Keep your antenna up and be alert. You need to have all your faculties working when you are under pressure.

Hobson’s Choice

This is the whole story…take it or leave it. There are two types of people in the world, simplifiers and complicators. Whenever possible, surround yourself with simplifiers.

It seems that your choices are limited at this time. In fact, those choices are limited to just one. The thing to remember is that you have arrived at this situation because you wanted to. The most courageous people are often the most fearful. In their anxiety they take a leap of faith (so to speak). Some of our decisions are not well thought out on the conscious level but we find our life’s pursuit through the unconscious. So these accidents are really no coincidence at all but well planned realizations of our uncounscious.

These awakenings are very beneficial. We start to live our lives on a more active basis. Instead of projecting all of our desires into the future, we start to realize them in the here and now. Here and now are where all actions take place. Not yesterday and not tomorrow. The present is the place of action.

Spend more time doing and less time thinking. This is healthy and stimulating. Soon you will see how much you can really accomplish without draining all the fun out of life. Keep an eye out for a new opportunity that will come your way. Don’t think about it…just say yes.

Get Better, Not Bitter

Only you can give to yourself and only you can take away from yourself. It seems like our destiny is often in our own hands but often we don’t make the conscious choices that would upgrade our destiny. We can’t just sit passively and expect that things will change. We have to make the effort and take the action that will result in this change. Life is filled with all sorts of twists and turns and yet it is possible to secure peace of mind. This is possible through believing in higher influences. It is possible through believing in yourself. We don’t have as much free will as we think we do but we have more than we will ever use.

This week involves putting a new plan of action into motion. Use your creativity to do things differently. Things change by employing new methods. Free yourself from anxieties that prevent you from moving forward. There are no guarantees but give something new a try.

Personal plans may have to be temporarily put on the back burner to accommodate new situations that require your complete attention. Devote time and energy to completing tasks and finishing projects that have been in the works for some time. This will bring about fresh and innovative ideas and a new direction to follow.

Time is the best story teller of all.
