Pitter Patter

This past week, although slightly irritating on some level, was full of valuable insights that have brought some clarity.  This feeling of irritation is now fading away and you will feel much less edgy.  Peace of mind is one of the most valuable assets when it comes to focus and the ability to get things done.  Things should flow rather smoothly in the week ahead.

Your sense of big heartedness and generosity are also triggered.  You have not had this feeling for some time.  Giving and receiving are an important part of our daily life.  We like to feel that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.  Unconscious insights are triggered by the conjunction of the Moon and Uranus in Aries.

Mercury retrograde offers a period of review.  Take time to look back over the past few months and see how far you have come personally and professionally.  There have been some rocky moments but things are moving in a positive direction.

Overcome any fears that you may be harboring with regard to the future.  Go step by step toward your goal and it will reduce a great deal of anxiety.  Create personal space and don’t forget to take time to enjoy a relaxing activity.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Why not pay for the whole package?  I often wonder why so many people refuse to do this.  It seems logical.  If you want something, it is not going to have all the qualities that you want but you shouldn’t lament this.  You have to choose and everything has advantages and disadvantages.  No one or any situation has everything. Priorities matter and you make choices based on your priorities and preferences.

Obviously, applying the right thinking and values to any situation make it more desirable.  But often our priorities and preferences stand in the way of a truly clear picture.  Our needs dictate the choices that we make.  Necessity is the mother of invention.  Foresight is a good tool to use when making decisions.  Look down the road and see what the results of your actions will be.

Clarity isn’t always present when we need it.  There is a fog that surrounds the issue at hand and it can be difficult to see the true nature of the problem.  Try to be patient and integrate time and space.  You will gain a more clear and objective point of view.  Don’t rush the outcome.

Time is the best storyteller of all.  Truths emerge over time.  Things are not always the way they appear to be at first glance.  It is the same when interpreting an astrological chart, you have to let it speak to you.  Astrology is the language of the cosmos.

Feelings of insecurity may emerge as you are feeling overly sensitive to the reactions of people around you.  Mercury and Venus in Cancer tend you make us rather thin skinned.  These planets in Cancer also make us more aware of any changing conditions that might influence our personal choices.  

The Sun will be conjunct Jupiter this week so it is a good time to expand and develop any tactics that will help you to achieve your goals.  Being a good tactician is what winning the war is about.  You may win the battle but lose the war.  Think long term and see what moves make the most sense.

Focus on the details.  You have a beneficial perspective on how the pieces will come together to create the whole.  Synthesize.  Put it all together and come up with a hypothesis that seems to work.  You can take a chance on a creative idea.

The creative and practical compete.  Try finding a way for these two elements to cooperate.  They are both necessary qualities for your purpose.  Search for ideas that seem slightly uncomfortable.  Try to step out of your usual habits and attempt something new.

 

The Surf’s Up

This is a time when big flare ups are possible.  Many influences are incompatible and lead you to disagreements with friends and family.  You must find a way to neutralize these feelings of agitation and direct them toward the small matters at hand.  Wait for a more opportune time to take on the big issues.  This is not a time to confront others. Stay in the background.

Organize your affairs so that you will be ready to go when the opportunity arises.  There are lots of things that you can accomplish even though they may be little things.  Put the big stuff on the back burner and await more favorable influences.

You aren’t experiencing a lot of activity on the physical level but there is a lot going on in the mental and emotional realms.  You sense it through some feelings of anxiety but you aren’t able to pinpoint or take in all the influences that are now at work.  Stay focused on what is really important for you.  By engaging your mind completely, you will alleviate some anxiety. 

This is a period of change and this change is taking place behind the scenes.  Pull back the curtain on some troubling matter but don’t react strongly.  You can observe the problem without taking any action at this time.  Be thoughtful and meditate on the subject of your concern.

 

Ten-Hut!

You feel like cleaning house and in more ways than one.  It seems hard to get rid of the superfluous but that’s exactly what you are in the process of doing. You eliminate those ideas that no longer serve your purpose.  You eliminate those people and things that are an impediment to your daily motion. 

Organize carefully as you will have a lot on your plate in the coming months.  Establish priorities that will help you be more efficient.  Engage the help of those who have a common purpose.  Many will help but will prefer to be kept in the background.  Keep their confidence.

You are steamed at the moment about some brewing issues that have been politely swept under the carpet.  Point these out now and don’t allow them to linger.  If you play along, you are unlikely to get the credit you deserve.  Others will respect your candor.

New ideas are coming to you at an accelerated pace.  Examine them and don’t spend a lot of time on ideas that don’t are not rooted in reality.  This is not a time to entertain a point of view that doesn’t advance you agenda.  You have to be selective.

Socialize more as you are bound to make new connections.  This brings about more feedback and a better perspective of what you are trying to accomplish. Stay sharp and open to new opportunities.
