Astrology Tidbits & Tie-Ins

Finally you find yourself focusing on the details. You are able to create a “to do” list and actually get it all done. This gives you the sense that you are actually making some concrete progress. Although, you have been getting things done up until now, it has just seemed like a big jumble. Now you see that things are finally starting to take shape and you feel good about it.

Still there are events that are beyond your control. It is hard to make rigid plans when so much still remains up in the air. You don’t know whether to make a commitment or to remain on the fence until you are sure which direction things are headed. Take small steps and go forward even if you are not sure of the outcome. Doing something takes away from the anxiety.

There are opposing factions at work. Both sides are extreme and polarized in their views. You must be the bridge that allows others to view the reality of the situation. Don’t try to influence others with your point of view but remain steady in your purpose. People will notice that you seem to have an objective. If we all stick to taking care of our own business, then everyone else, hopefully, will do the same.

A guiding light appears to give you direction. Trust your own instincts.

Death is not worth dying. Difficult as the times have recently been, there is still cause for hope. Although the news seems to get worse and worse by the moment, there is apparently an astrological light at the end of the tunnel. People seem to be argumentative or just outright rude. This is a passing phase. Do not despair, circumstances will soon give way to a more cheerful and jovial attitude.

Ordinary people are not currently well informed. There seems to be an information gap that is leaving them behind the “eight ball”. Nevertheless, they can voice their point of view and not feel the least bit guilty about it. Spit it out. You need to give expression to angry and hostile feelings. However, try to unwind these feelings slowly. Don’t blow a gasket.

Like the “eight ball” would say “Ask again later”. If you don’t get what you want, show that you are persistent but not insistent. Persistence requires that you integrate time. Keep trying but don’t overdo it. Knowing the right measure is not easy. You have you make mistakes before you can develop the right approach.

Better days are ahead…really. Just remember to stay focused and don’t ever give up. If other people think you are wasting your time…that you should give it up, follow your own instincts. It’s your time to waste. It’s your life to live. Learn to use your own power.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This week you are going to have to fight hard to get rid of the malaise. You are feeling a bit under the weather due to the uncertainty of future world affairs. Everything seems up in the air. You desperately would like to have your feet on the ground but it isn’t going to happen for a while. Get used to this uncertain sensation as it will be with you for the next few weeks.

People are venting their anger at whoever looks like the weak link. It is now clear that our economic future is not going to improve anytime soon. This has been years in the making and now everyone is demanding accountability. Stay focused on your own problems and situation so that you don’t dilute your energy. If you are angry, do something constructive. You can do a lot to improve your own circumstances.

Unexpected turns of fate will prevail in the coming weeks. What you thought was a definitely going to happen may take a sudden and unpredicted change of direction. Remember that everything can be used positively. Try to stay optimistic.

Dedicate yourself to working hard, have goodwill toward others and respect the point of view of everyone. We all come to our points of view through our unique circumstances of life. We can’t make judgments about other people’s actions as we can’t see the whole picture. Tolerance and patience are virtues that should be pursued.

Light bulbs are going off in your head, it’s one bright idea after the next. This is thanks to the sextile between Mercury and Pluto. You are able to see clearly below the surface. This is an experience that will last only briefly, but you can gain a lot of insight during this planetary aspect. Also, you will fully comprehend the nature of people and realize that it’s important not to take things too personally. It’s not you, it’s human nature. You don’t have to show embarrassment, you didn’t create the human race. This experience goes a long way in giving you information about your self. How compassionate and kind you are depends on your own nature.

The French have a saying, “changez la nature”. You can change your nature. This can be a life long pursuit, however, it is an important element of evolution. Jupiter and Uranus are trine and both are retrograde. You find yourself going over your previous steps that have taken to where you are now. Inspiration is necessary to get things moving. After that, it’s just plain hard work.

Your emotions are stabilizing and you can move forward with purpose. After last week’s explosive reaction, you can establish a more constructive and productive direction. There are still some hard feelings that prevail in the form of anger. Give up your anger and you will be much more pleasant to be around and you will like yourself better, too. Otherwise, use your anger to motivate yourself. “Living well is the best revenge.”

No good deed goes unpunished. Doing the right thing has it’s drawbacks but never the less it is always good to have the courage. You may sense that people are holding back their true feelings and if this is the case, that’s a good thing. They know that if they let you have it that it could have an unfortunate affect on them. Nothing like a little intimidation to keep things interesting.

People seem to be on an emotional roller coaster. They fear the ramifications of venting their true feelings. Try to stay calm and don’t antagonize these hapless souls as they might unleash their unhappy feelings on you. This is an experience that you can live without.

Venus and Mars are in Scorpio so criticism comes with a muted and creative tone. Also, the Moon is in Aquarius so you are concerned about friends and neighbors. Treat them gently and they will show their appreciation.

Enjoy the Fall season as it is the time of harvest. This is your bounty for all of your tireless efforts. Be gracious about unusual requests that go beyond your scope of duties. Generosity is a rare quality these days but occasionally it is good to throw around some extra kindness.

People are actually starting to think. They are thinking, instead of repeating slogans and words that make no sense. They are delving into analysis and really thinking about where their impetuous and infantile thinking will ultimately take them. They are starting to think about what will move them forward in a world with a very uneven playing field.A world in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The wheels of justice grind slowly. But more importantly, who is “they”?

Feelings are running wild. Mars & Venus& the Moon in Scorpio show a very strong emotional reaction to upcoming events. However, it is important to harness this energy for constructive purposes. It can mean the difference between success and failure. Don’t let yourself be bullied by people who don’t have your best interests at heart. We don’t lose your rights, we often give them up because we feel inadequate and undeserving. Question the motives of others.

A negative tone prevails for a couple of more weeks and then you will experience a kind of revelation. There is a reaction to every action. Be careful what you wish for, you may actually get it. Sanity will dominate.
