Week of Sept. 17, 2010
Tip of the Week:
Assimilation and digestion are important Virgo themes. This is true of the intake of any experience, knowledge, information and, of course, food… If what we consume is artificial or excessive the result is often not only waste, but possibly even poison. Sadly, despite all the abundance in our world, poison is everywhere in the marketplace. Food that is ‘dead’ means it has no nutrient value and is poison. The chemicals and toxic mixes thereof in so many of the products we consume as food and, ironically, those we consume to maintain hygiene, health and beauty and even what we deem medicine are forms of poison. The basic rule is that the less natural a product is, the more poisonous it probably is. The knowledge is out there, yet many remain resistant, unaware, uninterested and influenced by marketing. Moderation in all things means that we can actually personally afford to consume some amount of poison as our body can handle some, but how much? Whether we can collectively afford it due to the environmental impact is another question. Our polluted rivers and oceans alone tell us we cannot afford it any longer. These are some of the most important questions and challenges of our time. Virgo says cultivate your higher taste, learn about what is toxic and consume what is natural for the sake of self and all.
P.S. Autumn Equinox is on September 22 and coincides with the Harvest Full Moon.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
As your desires deepen your determination to achieve them is rising. Meanwhile, your sense of responsibility is growing. This will push you to act with full integrity. You may sense that whatever you decide, there is no easy out. Commitment backed by a resolve to persevere over the long term will bring rewards, but you will have to earn them.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Creating a greater degree of balance in your life will become especially apparent this week. The push may well come from your significant other. Where do you think the imbalance is? If you ask with sincerity you will likely get some good answers. Perhaps you need to socialize more or perhaps less. Somehow, it may be time to make some needed changes.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
This is ‘last call’ to clear the clutter somehow. Doing so will free you to pay closer attention to your ‘love life’. It may be who you love or perhaps what, maybe both. What you love implies activities, hobbies, adventure, travel and so on. Mixing the two might mean a romantic getaway or a venture to find romance. Do your homework to play soon without guilt, anxiety or inhibition.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Sometimes it is more important to pay attention to the details, like now. Brain storming for ideas, taking notes and outlining a draft or plan are all good ways to clarify visions and ground intentions. A passionate push to make meaningful connections may mean romance or at least indicate exciting ideals you want to realize. Look for others of like mind yet take the initiative to activate deals and plans.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Planning and building foundations is part of the game of life. Knowledge is ever required as well and you are feeling extra thirsty in this regard these days. Advancing to the next level sometimes requires that we clean, renovate, and somehow improve existing foundations. Be grateful for your passions and be willing to nurture them reveal their greater scope and deeper depths.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Taking pioneering strides is likely now. This implies breaking away form the usual, even the tried and true. Once we have learned what we need from something, it is important to move on. Both our brain and our soul need new input and adventure to remain fresh, interested and vital. Avoid the trap of complacency; it is the illusion of ego and there is no security in it actually. Venture forth!
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
If you have not allowed for rest and retreat this may be your last chance for a while. You can be steadily productive in this state, especially if you allow your dreams and imagination to work for you. Just be willing to take note of the inspirations coming in. Set intentions to take action on them soon, but not quite yet. Allow yourself to receive ideas, insights and inspirations coming from source.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
What does it mean to be your own best friend? Choosing to like and love and give your self the benefit of the doubt are good answers. Understand that manipulating people or situations is the enemy of self and others. The joy of letting go and letting God means willingly surrendering to a natural flow and watching as the magic of life leads you to authentic action.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
It is said the greatest leader is the greatest servant. This is the sort of wisdom you especially are meant to learn in this lifetime. Wanting for little yet being willing to do anything and discovering that where there is a will there is a way is the path to the discovery of many skills and talents. This does not mean be anything to anyone, rather it implies be everything your spirit guides you to be. Heed your heart.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
“Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all!’ Such wise words are the voice of the soul. The ego naturally seeks security, yet at what price? True security is transcendental yet many make the mistake of forsaking heaven for earth. Striking the balance between the necessities and desires of the material world and focusing to fulfill the mandates of our spirit means having all we need here and a secure place in the afterlife.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Loosening the grip of what we interpret as needs is a very liberating process. Observing how we convince ourselves of what we need is a first step. Often our interpretations stem from the influence of others. ‘The lighter we travel the freer we are’, is an old saying. If this is true, few are very free in the world at this time in history. Take a break from your mind, your desires and habits to feel cleaner, lighter and freer.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Many thoughts about relationships, love and romance are on your mind. Big changes are underway in this important area of life. Beyond outer connections, the primary relationship is ever with one’s own body mind, heart and soul and requires your attention as well. Either way, reasons to analyze and/or opportunities to celebrate love and passion, relationship and even marriage are likely now.
