Month: October 2011

Don’t try to second guess yourself. Assume that you have made the best decision possible. You can drive yourself crazy with alternative scenarios. Let it rest and proceed as planned. You are delving into the deeper details of your environment. You are wondering what is the purpose of your experiences and what value do they have for your future. Examine them carefully but don’t become obsessed. Obsession can be a negative and wearing expression of energy.

Put your creative self to work. Create new circumstances consciously. Remember that “man is not the creature of circumstances, but circumstances are the creatures of men.” -Benjamin Disraeli. Time and space are indicated in the horoscope by the axis of the 1st and 7th house and the 4th and 10th house. The 1st and 7th represents space while the 4th and 10th represents time. Time and space solve all problems.

Neptune is in the 28th degree of Aquarius. This fog that surrounds our greater purpose has not yet become clear. Soon Neptune will go direct and enter the sign of Pisces where everything will become much better defined. Greater illumination is possible for all who are sensitive to their surroundings.

Keep things in perspective.

Sometimes progress is slow and tedious. But you have to stay in the game. Challenge yourself to perform better. Be patient but don’t hold yourself back. It’s a balance that is always difficult to manage. If you push yourself too hard, you may do damage but if you don’t push yourself hard enough, you won’t see results. The first step is the most difficult in a long journey.

With the Sun going into the sign of Scorpio, you will be probing the secrets of the ages. This is always a good time to dig into your own psyche and determine what needs to be done. Clear out the cobwebs and brighten the place up. You will feel much more organized and you will feel much stronger.

You may be feeling a little like Hansel and Gretel. You may find yourself leaving pebbles along your path. If your travels lead you to unknown places and situations, you will be able to find your way back. Sign on for the adventure. Good fortune follows the courageous one.

Plan to take on a new project. You may be bored with your current routine. It doesn’t have to be a work project. It could be an exercise program or some beneficial and fun project. Don’t be consumed with advancement. Relax and live a little.

Astrologically speaking, justice is ruled in part by Jupiter. It is the Moon above the Earth. Or in plain English, it is wisdom above the material. Justice has a lot to do with wisdom, our own personal wisdom and the wisdom of the world population. As individuals, we influence by setting a good example but to some degree we suffer the effects of global destiny. The other part of justice is ruled by Saturn. It is the Earth above the Moon. The Earth is real and can be punishing if we are not conscious of our thoughts and actions. Justice is always balancing the two sides. Maybe on a personal level, it is the difference between what we deserve and what we think we deserve.

One of the best explanations of this concept is written in a little book entitled
As A Man Thinketh by James Allen. One of the things that is written in this book is:

“Mind is the Master-Power that moulds and makes,
And man is mind and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass
Environment is but his looking-glass.”

We are basically responsible for our destiny, on a conscious and unconscious level. We have our beliefs rooted in religion, education and our family upbringing. All of these factors influence who we become. In many ways people are what they are brought up to be. But, there is always the possibility for more consciousness and we can upgrade our destiny if that is what we truly want. We can be just with ourselves, and, by this, we can be just with others.

This week will be about moving forward in a real and productive way. It seems like it’s been a while since we’ve made any significant steps forward but now is the time. Sometimes the background noise is so loud it drowns out the message. But finally that message seems to be taking hold. For a long time the world seemed to be spinning off in many directions. A consolidation has taken place and there is a movement that brings to task the current standard practices.

All of the things going on around us can only add to the need for a secure and timeless philosophy. A philosophy is needed that can sustain us during trying and difficult times. This inner strength must be brought about from within. You can’t get from other people what you don’t have in yourself. Most everything is generated from within ourselves. We have to build our inner core to be able to withstand the forces of life. We also must move in harmony with the forces of nature. This will give us inner peace.

Remember to exercise your options. Make changes that don’t defeat your purpose. There are a range of solutions that you can employ if you look at the situation from different angles. Don’t get pigeon holed. Expand your horizons and make life a little more interesting. Put a little pepper in it.

Everything is a balancing act. Trying to keep your daily routine in check so that you don’t become physically or mentally exhausted isn’t so easy. Remember to take baby steps when you are starting a new project. A long journey begins with just one step. With 4 planets in Libra this week, it is a good week to make adjustments to your balancing act.

You are feeling very energetic with Mars in the sign of Leo. Leo is a masculine, fixed, fire sign so organization is at the forefront of your thinking. Plan your work and work your plan. Don’t over do it or you could injure yourself and cause a set back that would delay the outcome. It is good that you feel intent on gaining a solution but you risk alienating the people that will assist you. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

Jupiter is in the sign of Taurus. Taurus rules personal finances in the archetype. This should allow you to manipulate your balance sheet in way that will take the financial pressure off until you find a sustainable source of new income.

Better to be an optimist, you pay the same price.
