Astrology Tidbits & Tie-Ins

Tremors prevent us from inhaling and exhaling completely. Also, we harm ourselves by not breathing deeply enough. It might be a good idea to learn to breathe properly via yoga or some form of martial art. This creates good oxygenation in the body. Definitely this cannot be underestimated. Also, it goes along nicely with meditation which can be practiced 24 hours a day.

So take a deep breath and you will feel calmer in dealing with unexpected or difficult situations. Don’t overreact and others will not be able to act harshly toward you. You draw the line invisibly. They can’t see it but they will definitely feel it. When you act civilly, it forces others into the same behavior.

Benjamin Disraeli said, “Man is not the creature of circumstances, but circumstances are the creatures of men”. You create your own circumstances. If we want to change our lives we have to work on ourselves. By changing ourselves, we change other people. This is the right thinking.

Going out on a limb proves to be an unnecessary risk. Contain yourself. Reduce risk. Get the job done without making any promises that you will not be able to deliver. Depend mostly on yourself.

You might want to use this coming week as an opportunity to loosen your grip. Otherwise you might be mistaken for a control freak. The planetary influences are kicking off a successful week if you will just heed the signals. This means being tuned into what is happening around you. You must consciously make an effort to be vigilant.

You have a burning desire to rush things. This is not a good idea. You have momentum but you must learn to pace yourself. This will allow you to take in important information before moving on to the next step. Patience is the only virtue. There will be many opportunities to accelerate in the near future but for now go slowly.

People around you may sense your eagerness. This could be good as long as they don’t feel too threatened by it. People tend to feel threatened when they can’t anticipate what you are going to do next. At least appear to be predictable. Of course, nothing is predictable but we do have patterns of behavior and thinking.

The influence of Neptune is not currently registering in our conscious mind. This makes us feel a little uncertain. We are now learning to step out of our old shells and into a new one. This requires some maneuvering. Try to slip out of one skin and into another seamlessly. You don’t want to attract a lot of attention.

All people come to life from different perspectives. We cannot judge another person as we, as mere mortals don’t see the whole picture. We learn to tolerate other points of view. That concept renders the best results. Many people think others are like they are. In fact, what we most like in other people is what is in ourselves. And what we most dislike in people is also in ourselves.

Today, we are witnessing the fact that many schisms exist. This does not allow for a harmonious outcome. It doesn’t allow different aspects to coalesce around a given ideology. Rather it creates interferences. These interferences are what make prediction very uncertain. Unfortunately, it is uncertainty that causes a lot of people a great deal of anxiety and ultimately causes them to be depressed.

But these experiences can be recycled into positive catalysts to change. Change isn’t an easy thing yet it is the only constant. It comes from seeing all situations and circumstances as opportunities. Although, we experience many set backs, these are a reminder that nothing is accomplished without struggle. These aggravations create real game changers. The key to success is keeping your peace of mind. Eventually, everything will become clear.

Although four planets and the Sun in Aries give a lot of energy that you may be able to harness, it also creates an inordinate amount of impatience. You don’t want to read the whole thing. You skim through a few pages and become irritated and impatient. Aries doesn’t like to go step by step. In fact, many Aries want to jump away from the earth. You must develop your patience as it is the only virtue. As edgy as you may be feeling, you must allow methodical hard work to prevail. Don’t take any short cuts at this time.

Pluto in Capricorn square Mars in Aries is showing you the caution sign. Many great achievements have been ruined through lack of patience. This is something that all of us have to work on life long. Don’t be hard on yourself and don’t be hard on the others. Develop tolerance and don’t make judgments as we as human beings cannot see the whole picture. We need to trust that there is justice in the universe. Unless you would like to make a citizen’s arrest, I suggest you go about your own business.

Neptune has just entered the sign of Pisces and this brings about a lack of clarity. Your boundaries can become blurred. This planet will be in Pisces for a very long time except for a short retrograde period where it briefly returns to the sign of Aquarius. Get ready for a prolonged period of chaos and lack of clear objectives that may take time to sort out. This will be especially true of world events. When it comes to your own personal chart, you can make all the planetary influences work for you. It just takes practice.

This week watch out for people with obvious ulterior motives taking charge of the situation. Patience is the only virtue. By waiting until they become transparent, you won’t have to show your motives. Allow others to make their own observations and do not confront anyone directly. Stay in the background at least for the moment.

Fools rush in…don’t do it. This week is filled with pot holes of all sorts. You can’t afford a broken ankle. Stay vigilant and look for clues about what is really going on. It may seem obvious but is more complicated than you imagine.

There are all sorts of cowboys out in the general populace. They are big risk takers who are happy to take you along for the ride. Enjoy the show but don’t get involved. Caution is imperative at this time. Many planets in Aries lead to impetuous behavior. This can be damaging to your security and reputation.

Overall, use this period of time to get your own projects off the ground. Avoid the politics that may leave you the “loser”. However, “no politics is a politics”. You pay for what you want and you pay for what you don’t want. Make the choice that agrees with your temperament. Your health depends on it.

If you feel like others are taking advantage of your kind nature you need to let them know that they have gone too far. Show them your teeth! With 4 planets in the sign of Aries, you can bet that there are lots of inconsiderate actions happening out there. You don’t have to take it personally, people will be people. Some are reasonable but some people don’t know what that means.

All these planets in Aries have a good side too. They are ruled by Mars and give the needed boost of energy that will be required to put your plans in place. The week begins with the Moon in Capricorn so don’t expect to feel too enthusiastic until later in the week. Capricorn is ruled by the mountain goat and goes step by step. Don’t rush or you may find you have Teflon hooves.

You may see holes blown through a lot of good ideas during this week. Don’t be disheartened. Keep advocating for what you want. Eventually, someone will see your point of view. You have to keep searching for ways to develop your ideas. This is a difficult task but will be aided by favorable planetary aspects in the near future.

Have a philosophy that will resonate with others and that you can recite while standing on one leg. “Don’t do to the others what you wouldn’t like done to you.” Life is simple if you don’t want anything from it. Take the high road.

Procrastination has become a way of life. Did you ever have to make up your mind? Making a choice is pain staking at this point in time. You must choose even if you are not inclined to do so. Remember that every advantage has a disadvantage so choice is really a trade off of sorts. You pay for what you want and you pay for what you don’t want.

Sometimes you have to be a chess player. You move up in rank and file. Some advancement is necessary. It’s a double game. Life is also a double game. There is the practical side and the spiritual side of it. You are trying to balance them. You will find yourself at one extreme or another until you find the middle ground.

You don’t feel up to the task that is ahead of you but you will see that you have lots of energy in the coming months that will allow you to get things up and running. Go slowly and you will arrive sooner.

Organize your thoughts and actions. Put them into play. Take up a new sport or hobby that will allow you to enjoy your spare time. Don’t worry, be happy.

Finally you won’t feel like you are chasing your tail. Things have been freed up in the universe and this allows you to move forward with purpose. You also will have a little bit of luck too and this turns a mediocre situation into a really good one. Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus are all in the sign of Aries and Aries know how to get things done.

Many forces are at work to support your strategy. Having a strategy is very important. You have to plan your work and work your plan. Once you get moving in a direction everything else will follow. You can eliminate the constant deliberations that have created a lot of anxiety for you lately. You may feel hesitant but you have to push yourself to move ahead.

It seems that for months a kind of cloud has been hanging over your head and now in a split second it will be lifted and you will feel a great sense of relief. Any health issues that have been dragging on will suddenly become a faint memory. In fact, a lot of things will clear up. Your thinking will become sharp and you will know exactly how to proceed.

All things are both good and bad at the same time. It’s often a matter of perception although some things are dire and less easy to look at in a positive way. The best medicine is foresight. When you take action, think about what the long term effects will be. By taking the long road, you will be prepared for every situation.

Values are the things that differentiate one human being from another. Good values or bad values, it doesn’t matter, both lead to the same realization. When we fall in love, this leads to the “overestimation of the sexual object” as noted by Freud. Sometimes these projections are impossible to live up too. No one can fill these shoes. This brings me to the conclusion that you should expect a lot from yourself. To thine own self be true.

Be yourself and know yourself. By this, you will know the others and they will know you. You have to start with a solid premise. No great friendship can be built on a weak foundation. You have to bring the house down and rebuild it if necessary. You have to understand the basic building blocks. Most of all, you have to apply them.

Some influences may seem to be undermining your efforts. This is a temporary situation and should be ignored. Forge ahead with plans and don’t get sucked into quarterbacking. Let the others get their signals from sacred places.

New energy is moving in your direction. Get ready to follow the jet stream.

It is really important to enjoy the moment. It’s easy to spend a lot of time dwelling in the past. Also, you can develop a lot of anxiety contemplating the future. If you can be in the moment, you will create a harmonious environment that will allow you to be quite productive. All changes that affect the future must be made in the present. The past, present and future coexist.

Give yourself permission to enjoy yourself. It’s good to plan and put a structure in place but you have to have fun too. Otherwise, life becomes like a treadmill. It becomes a series of unconscious habits that lead to an unrewarding existence. Bring yourself to life, get into the moment and live each day to the fullest.

There are many planetary aspects coming up that will allow you to awaken the unconscious. By bringing things into the conscious, you can deal with them in a constructive way. This, of course, requires making an effort but is well worth it.
As long as things remain unconscious they can create mayhem.

Discuss your feelings with people who are causing you discomfort. By making your feelings clear, you allow them to respond to what is really concerning you. Otherwise, you are just complicating the issue. Always simplify. The simple contains the complex.
