Astrology Tidbits & Tie-Ins – Page 5

Tempus Fugit

You may find yourself backing into a bigger hole than expected. You have done an amazing job staying above the political fray but in the meantime another sink hole has opened up. Sometimes you just have to step in it. Politics makes a nervous wreck out of most people because it is usually all over before you know you have been playing. Some higher ups have been dragged in and they are confused and confusing. The situation has taken on a life of its own. Don’t try to be a hero…just be yourself.

Complications can persist if you don’t reveal your true self. You have only one mission and that is to be the best “you” that you can be. Let higher influences be your guide. Don’t compare yourself to others. Most important of all, is to be your own friend.

Leaders are often not the people with the title. Be aware that people who have influence with others are often not “the boss”. Make sure you respect all others as your destiny may depend on it. Be impartial in your judgments.

A new thread is emerging that will give you a new path to follow. You wish to remove yourself from your current environment, at least on some level. Follow your heart and mind.

Titans of Industry

You may be the recipient of some big idea. It just pops into your head and you think about running with it. Only you can be the judge in determining if this is a good or bad idea. Look before you leap. Remember that patience is the only virtue. Brainstorms can be promising but let the facts fall into place first. Many good outcomes have been damaged by impetuous strategies.

The Sun in Libra is always trying to balance what is going on in the surroundings. Libra tries to ascertain truth but without becoming a truth serum. In fact, Libra leans toward softening truth more than any other sign. They are diplomatic to an extreme, anything to keep the peace.

Overall, this week should be a good one for tying up loose ends. Some projects may have gotten off to a rocky start in the recent past. Now is a good time to “test drive” them again and make any necessary adjustments. Perfection may not be possible. Nothing is perfect that has already manifested.

You may have felt dismissed by some of the important people in your life. They don’t want to hear any more about it. “Forget about it” is the message that you have been getting. Perhaps, this is the right approach. If you don’t like what you have been hearing then you can say “in one ear and out the other.” Things don’t have to stick unless you want them to.

Beyond the Fourth Estate

This week brings you to a more theoretical place in your own mind. A place where you consider different approaches to some old and new problems. You try to bring balance to your life in the context of the big picture. Influences on the outside will become more conducive to making changes. The transition from confrontation to adaptation will be far easier to accept. You put extra effort into making things more harmonious.

Exploration of your emotions brings you closer to bliss, at least for a while. Enjoy this pastoral period and all that surrounds you. Friends and neighbors initiate a festive and friendly atmosphere. Be sociable and accept their hospitality. Learn to receive as well as give.

Practical matters will be at the forefront, as well. This is a good time to eliminate what no longer works for you. It’s a good time to clean house in general, both literally and figuratively. You are clearing the way for some new adventures. You are turning over a new leaf. You do this now with ease and without the need for control.

Financially, you strike a lighter note. Continue to consolidate your resources. The future is looking brighter.

A Mustard Seed

Once you get past the initial shock of feeling like you are not appreciated, you can remind yourself that self- image has a lot to do with people’s perception of us. You can’t get from other people what you don’t have yourself. Everything seems to reflect whoever we are. If you have the courage to reveal your true self, then others will feel comfortable with you. They will find that you are a reliable reflection.

This month proves to be a difficult one for just about everyone. It can affect you on the physical, emotional or spiritual level. After all, that is what upgrading your destiny is about. That is what free will is about. You have to experience life on a more subtle level. The physical is the most taxing and the emotional is tiring also. It requires that you expend a lot of energy. By implementing higher values, we have the opportunity to experience things in a much lighter way. Go lightly.

Part of going lightly is learning not to try and control the outcome of every situation. Apply higher values and allow them to work for you. Everyone has a good astrological chart if it is applied on a higher level. When we descend to the physical and insist on a particular outcome, we interfere with higher influences. Let go.

Believe in yourself and your uniqueness of purpose. Create inner peace.

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.

Second Wind

It’s an excellent time to pay close attention to detail. As per the saying, “the devil is in the details.” Take note of any unusual shifts in temperament of friends and co-workers. We are all reassessing our point of view and making adjustments to our behavior based on external input. This is a natural process that we undergo to become more in harmony with nature. By aligning ourselves with nature, we achieve things in a swifter and more peaceful manner.

You can’t fight city hall. Well, you can, but it may be a lengthy and draining experience. Better to do an end around or find a back door. This will eliminate any confrontations that may be irritating and difficult to deal with. Seriously, do you want to be arguing with people on a daily basis? Swallow your pride and focus on the work at hand. Who gets credit for it ultimately doesn’t make any difference.

You may have the feeling that you have been here before. Situations keep repeating themselves until you adjust your reaction accordingly. Strive to maintain your inner peace under all circumstances. People will regard you as a wise person so why open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Improve your chance of success by using foresight. Don’t settle for a quick fix. Take the long road and create a lasting benefit. This gives you a strong foundation upon which to build.
