September 2013 – ASTROPRO

The Simple Contains the Complex

The French have a saying “think on death.” The reason to think on death is to become gradually aware that time is getting short. You don’t have forever to achieve your goals. Life requires some expediency.

Personally, I believe in reincarnation. It is hard to fathom making such an extraordinary effort in this life only to end up in the bone yard. Nature shows us that life is cyclical. Every end is followed by a new beginning. In astrology, it is “as above, so below” and “as below, so above.” By learning to harmonize with nature we decrease our stress and increase our possibility for success.

It might be wise to remember that when we come back, we will be confronted with the same issues that we left behind. We’ll have a new set of wheels but we’ll have to pick up where we left off. The bottom line is that we really can’t kick the can down the road far enough to be unaffected by it.

You think you can leave and everyone will just forget about it. But when I look into the eyes of my fellow men and women, I know them. I’ve actually seen them before, not in this life but perhaps in a previous one. Karma is always at work. They owe you, you owe them. We pay for everything.

This thinking has led me to a more universal view of life. We as human beings don’t see the whole picture. We see a part of it based on our personal experiences. Happiness comes from assimilating these experiences harmoniously with nature and without judging them.

Obsessive Compulsive

It appears that the crowd is not satisfied until they can come up with some answers. Mind you, it doesn’t have to be based in reality. Just something that puts an end to their jonesing for answers. Of course, this is futile as seeking knowledge in the extreme is called the “hungry eye.” Some things are better left unanswered especially if it requires a strenuous effort. The integration of time and space will provide the answers needed in due time.

Take things slowly this week. It is best to take time to assimilate changing circumstances. Go slowly and you will arrive sooner. Overreach may be an issue. Try to stick to the facts and don’t embellish them in any way. Further explanation may result in added confusion. Less is more.

A special situation may be coming to a head. It has been brewing for several months and has so far defied embracing any kind of solution. You may have to give a few hints and hopefully others will pick up on them. Create an idea that others can live with. It may not be ideal but it will resolve this long standing impasse.

Organize carefully as you will have a great deal to do in the coming weeks. Your ability to focus is critical.

All Aboard

People may be asking how you did it. But ultimately the only thing that really matters is that you got the job done. Most accomplishments never see the light of day because there are too many egos involved. The infighting creates a drag that cannot be overcome. I never play politics but as a friend once said, “no politics is as politics.” Either case has advantages and disadvantages as does everything in life.

You are internally weighing the pluses and minuses of a situation. Let your own conscience be your guide. It is impossible to know all the facts as even facts prove to be nebulous bits of information. The big picture is influenced for years to come by the outer planets. Pluto in Capricorn shows the tearing down and building back up of whatever it affects. Capricorn, however, is the most diplomatic sign of the zodiac. This is due to the use of foresight indicated by Saturn.

Your emotions may not be the best weathervane, either. Due to the influence of Neptune things are hazy and unclear. Combine heart and mind when making any big decisions. Balance is the key to a successful outcome. Always integrate time and space when things seem unclear. Time and space solve all problems.

Be vigilant. Con artists abound.

Bats in the Belfry

This week proves to be an amazing week filled with anticipation and a little anxiety as well. Strong skills of analysis kick in to meet every situation with the right measure. The two enemies are too much and too little. Finding the center yields the best results. This often requires a bit of trial and error but eventually you will come to the right measure.

Bring yourself to life. You have been holding back the real you in recent months as the stress of putting yourself out there has advantages and disadvantages. Forge ahead as only you can be you. There are going to be people who agree and people who oppose you. Or more to the point, a man/woman who has no enemies, has no friends.

Astrology is one of the best tools in understanding our fellow human beings. It takes away a lot of resentment because it allows you put things in perspective and not take them too personally. It helps you to see that behavior is predictable when you are a good observer. Naturally, you have to synthesize to arrive at an anticipated modus operandi.

We are all creatures of habit, much more than we realize. We follow a rather narrow path through life without carefully examining other options. Our goal is to become more aware of an ever increasing list of possibilities and to broaden our views and make our lives more vibrant.

Walk the Walk

Creative thinking is in order for the upcoming week. We need to find a thoughtful and organized solution to the prevailing problems of the day. It’s easy to fall in with the crowd without really thinking about what we are saying or doing but this often isn’t advantageous. Think out of the box. Bring in considerations that don’t necessarily benefit only you. Take a more global view of changing winds.

Energize yourself and give a little encouragement to those who may not be feeling as sure as you do. Nothing is black or white but shades of gray. This becomes more and more obvious as time goes by. Decisions become more complicated when adding considerations. Judgment is highly difficult.

You may be considered eccentric if you are rich, but if you are poor you are more likely to be labeled as crazy. Pay no mind to other people’s opinions…that is exactly what they are, opinions , and everyone has them. Follow your own heart and mind.

Make strides in clearing up any misunderstandings that have been dogging you. It doesn’t mean you have to confront the situation directly. Try rearranging the set. Give a different perspective to yourself and others. Things often become clearer when you change the scene.
