Issues this Week: SECURITY, COMPROMISE, SPIRITUALITY, FRUSTRATION, CALM, CREATIVITY and ASSERTIVENESS
Monday’s Taurus full Moon will bring issues of security to the forefront as it reminds us that in order to get what we want, we may have to release what we have. When we realize that the actions we keep repeating are generating the same results, we'll see that in order to move forward, we must explore new options or seek a fresh approach. Compromise will be a theme on Tuesday as the Taurus full Moon continues to oppose the Scorpio Sun, so to make any progress at all, we’ll have to consider others' feelings. Neptune will turn direct on Wednesday after five months of back-stroking through the choppy waters of Aquarius, which will herald a return to spirituality, idealism and fantasy. We’ll witness some surprising events both personally and globally over the next two weeks as Neptune stabilizes and begins to move forward. Frustrations may rule the day on Thursday as the Moon moves through Gemini and thoughts and feelings begin to conflict. Our instinct will be to try and think or rationalize our way through problems, when in fact, there will be no way to resolve them at this point in time. Our spirits will become much calmer on Friday when the Moon drifts into Cancer and encourages us to relax and just be. Venus will take a decadent dive into Scorpio on Saturday, which should bring out our indulgent, creative sides for the next six weeks. If we use this energy to express ourselves artistically on Saturday, wonderful creations can be born. When the Moon transits into Leo on Sunday, we'll grow more assertive and take permission to put our own needs and desires first for a change. We could even take on royal airs, and like the king of the jungle, let out a big roar if we don't get our way.
We become more intense with our personalities as Sun enters passionate Scorpio October 23. We will become more perceptive of what is happening around us, while noticing what people are saying and NOT saying. Scorpio is guarded and sneaky. We become much more driven and we're not afraid to prove it. As we have this appetite to succeed and move forward, we may slide behind the shadows to watch and observe others, to develop our own skills. Scorpio is ruled by powerful Pluto, and so they have a need to be better than others and thrive for total control. There could be a few heads bumping now, if Libran energy is not balanced and developed. Mercury enters secretive Scorpio October 28, Communications become much more intense, as our thoughts becomes slippery and deep. We can become intoxicated and intrigued with the strange, the mysterious, and unknown now, drawing us to areas that we may feel a need to know more. Some may be searching for others dark secrets and can become obsessed to make sense of what has not come to light for them. Individuals may find themselves becoming desperate to get answers, in fear of not being in control. Manipulation is the alternative for those who avoid action and direct communication with others. Be cautious, as two can play this game now, and you may be wondering 'who's playing who". Others may decide that playing games is not for them, and escape the predicted drama, and find the exit door. Truth and direct communication will be necessary, because without it, there will be turning back.
After two years, Saturn finally leaves hard-working Virgo and enters friendly Libra on October 29 and will stay there until October 5, 2012. Saturn is the Taskmaster who helps us to discover our weakest points, and teaches us how to tackle those frustrating blocks - to be our very best. Entering Libra, we will be learning about how we relate to others, and finding out by experience: what works FOR us, and what works against us. We will learn how to find the peace and companionship that we have been searching for, as Saturn takes us into some fearful territories in the deepest part our souls. Saturn's participation will truly compliment the cleansing process of Pluto to create more respectable and kind human beings in the world, but re-learning the process can be very hard to learn, but so worth the hard work and tears. You can catch the recap of my Pluto interpretation on my September post.
And October 31 we have a favorite holiday! Have a spooky Halloween everyone

Although you might like the idea of accomplishing a lot today, you probably won't work hard enough to feel as if you're productive. You have a variety of excuses at your disposal now to justify your laziness, but the truth is you don't need to prove anything to anyone else. You deserve some downtime and you might as well take it when you can.
You may not be comfortable at first with all that happens today, but once you see the potential pleasures ahead, you might become more willing to endure a few hardships along the way. Even if you start off fighting the changes, your resistance will quickly fade as you sink beneath your thoughts and into the less familiar non-verbal world of emotions.
This is a lovely day for you to immerse yourself into your feelings. Don't waste energy rationalizing what's in your heart. Act on your intuition, for the signals that are now coming from your subconscious are connected with truth and integrity. You could probably talk yourself out of taking a chance now, but it's smarter to jump in and follow your instincts before you change your mind.
You have the ability now to set aside your personal interests and concentrate on selfless acts of generosity. Don't spoil it by asking what's in it for you. If you must know, then you are missing the point. Ultimately, if you focus your intent on "big love," then the emotional rewards will cycle back around and touch your heart.
You may try to keep your anger under the table, for you really don't want it to interfere with the lovely opportunities that are floating around you. You could feel as if you have the Midas touch, yet selfish behavior or excessive greed could ruin everything pretty quickly. Remember, your ability to work in service to others now is enough of a gift to make you happy.
Your ruling planet Venus harmoniously trines jolly Jupiter today, bringing fun and games into your life. Unfortunately, you might not be able to walk away from all your responsibilities just because the good times are calling. Still, you can truly enjoy yourself by expressing your creative urges in a practical project.
Communicator Mercury enters your sign today, but you may not feel much like talking. The problem is that you can be so intense now that you don't know how to say what's on your mind without upsetting others. But remaining quiet isn't a good idea either, for your suppressed emotions will come up sooner or later. Remember that if you express love and not fear, then obstacles can be transformed into positive learning experiences.
Your eagerness to please others now makes you a fine friend, but you must be careful about only recognizing the good news. The power of positive thinking is a practice that can help you today, but you might take it too far. Don't focus on the possible negative outcomes or bury significant issues without addressing them. If you do, you'll have to face less-than-friendly fire down the road.
If you have been attempting to achieve a goal at work, today may be just the right day to give it your final push. You are receiving cosmic assistance from beautiful Venus in your 10th House of Public Status. Go ahead and turn in your final project, but make certain to ask for the credit that you deserve. It may take a few days, but you could be surprised at the results.
It's challenging for you because you have so much positive energy today, yet it may be inappropriate to overwhelm others with your exuberance. Self-restraint is your key to a successful week and you might as well begin now. Don't be so eager to cross the finish line; you've barely started the race. Think cosmically, but act locally.
You know what you want in a relationship now, especially if you have been clarifying your needs all year long. It's time to make something happen and yet you may be afraid of blowing your chance. Stay positive while sharing your feelings, even if you have no idea where the conversation will lead. Don't worry if it doesn't go smoothly; heated words may be exchanged along the way, but you'll be closer to the satisfaction you seek.
COMPASSION - is action about which you recieve..love
Think how easy it is...to forgive? ha ha..I am kidding..its not !
But if the choice to simply vent...and snap...or abandon
others the how would one expect to RECIEVE love,respect in return??? A lot of people use this old model of "whip" someone
into reality...but its not. ITS SHOCK value.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ONE NEEDS TO LOOK WITHIN FIRST
FIRSTLY...are you lovable....not a doormat,not lonely,not
people pleaser....not narssistic..not frightened,not
angry...but just loveable?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HOW CAN ONE GIVE WHAT ITS NOT?
Well....if you have periods of confusion....about your nature
and its qualities of love...you need to do soul-searching
One somehow might be lost,and using old patterns to justify
Afterall...if you are basically loving,and self-generating this
others may also ABUSE..but in your case..it may not rock
you...off course...just make you consider things.
_______________________________________________________
NICE DOES NOT = LOVE.
_------------------------------------------
There are very very good people,nice neighbours,helpful
strangers,who APPEAR "nice" but in fact...are SURFACE only!!
Don't be fooled by waiter,or people in service..who smile for tips
as LOVING BEINGS. One needs to know what LOVE LOOKS LIKE
and its not dressed up in $1000 suits either.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WE DON'T HAVE"" love "" MODELS??
models of love....that is. we have PRETTY SKINNY MODELS
and we have HORRIBLE ROLE models...as adults...for how to
be loving. Ok maybe a few talkshow people..but really turn on
TV and see anything nice??? even HALLMARK channel is BOUT
pain,murder,child abuse....??? I guess thats why religion is strong,with the way they need to find reasonable models,although they seem a bit
too HIGH and mighty for the average human to really connect with?
===================================================
LOVE CONTAINS ALL EMOTIONS
TO be strict..is love,so is being calm,so is being RADICAL
so is being overtly PASSIONATE,so is being SELF RIGHTEOUS
for your humanity,so is being ADORABLE with charm...but
turn a corner add EGO..and it all goes to HE***
You see you add that salt/pepper...and the cake falls into WICKED
sin ( for lack of better term)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SO LOVING YOUR ENEMY
Again...BY blessing in earnest..your enemies...small or large
you gain MANY MANY GIFTS...not even the smallest..REST,
JOY,HAPPINESS,less abuse,less pain,less lawsuits,less arguements
less sickness,less poverty......because all energy is SELF-ACUALIZED.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
I wrote all this....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THIS is one of t
he hardest ones to conquer
Today,you see,people being victimized,and anger boils..
but I want to bring it to clear meaning on a day 2 day,not
discuss war,or religion,or violence,kids..ect...
Obviously with the conditions of this currently,people
are trying to keep there composure,but its difficult,to be polite.
With that,we are in a cycle from 2010-2012 of deeper transitions
of respect,love,loyalty,less frugal,less selfish behaiviours.
ITS not easy to change SYSTEMS..let alone societies....
Think how hard it is,to remain calm,when others are hostile
rude,loud,and accusatory..like romans...like barbarians...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For one thing, take a co-worker,or associate,who STAINS
your reputation. Now,after battling the feelings of betrayal,or
worse,emotional upset,you need to stop-breath-listen to your
own INNER voice..and ask HOW CAN this be a teaching moment?
Now examine..the roots of the ACTIONS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRSTLY.
IS the rumor,or arrow truth,and do you need to shift,and become
more of a better human being? ( THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES)
Is there a way,to BOOST your ambition from this,and use it
to promote your success....even if it means,using tools new to you?
IS there a way to build from the hurt,into a HARMONIC change
not only for you but for the others in your world...round this issue?
Do you feel its POSSIBLE it HELPED people to be reminded
and promote your personality...even bad news..is gossip!
CAN you find inside your own life,times you made enemies
and how you felt justified,and it seems to be a need for POWER.
DID you in past,use that EGO-POWER maybe as a way to
control,since others hurt you...and this proved vengence for that old
wound....?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT if..there was not a belief in enemies?
what if I suggest to your soul....its just a miffed person,losing
power,and angry...and lashing out like a 2 yr old???
Would that be a more suitable way to FIND compassion ....where
fear used to dwell?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SO, in conclusion heres some wisdom
ALL CRITICAL people...may have a way to enlighten you if
only to remind you to PROJECT more power,love...
ALL MEANIES may acually help to define your TALENTS
ALL NAYSAYERS May drive you,more than you know to
SUCCESS in business,love,and growth..spiritually....
All selfish,non-supportive people can shape your DESTINY
They can force limits,that need exploding,and releasing..
pushing you to run....forward!
************************************************************
FOR THE WOUNDED....
Listen..I am not saying be "lollypop" and sing away the pain
of others inflicting injustice...I am reminding you all to
NOT JUDGE,and lower your own fragile ego-shell....
and go DEEPER into a realm of perfection of higher living...
towards humanity,looking at everything as a lesson,sometimes
is helpful...and not being BAITED into false drama..fake feelings
and untruths...
By practicing balancing the friends with enemies..you are
acually closer to seat of power,and enlightenment
LAUGH -- like the buddah....

The cosmic weather shifts today as the Moon enters hardworking Capricorn at 2:39 am EDT, followed minutes later by the Sun's entry into intense Scorpio. We become more serious now as we take stock of what we have and make decisions about how best to use our emotional and physical resources to achieve our goals. The Moon's conjunction with ruthless Pluto, Scorpio's key planet, raises the stakes in any struggle and encourages us to play for keeps.
The party is over for a while, and surprisingly you are more than ready to get down to work. Nevertheless, you must be careful about making too many commitments too fast. Although your intentions are good, you may be setting yourself up for failure if you promise more than you can deliver. It's better to take the heat right away and be clear about what you cannot do than to say yes and then fall short of your goals.
You may get angry if a co-worker or partner isn't willing to go along with your plan now. However, expressing your feelings won't do anything to straighten out the situation. If you want to avoid increasing the tension, don't take their lack of cooperation personally. It's best to directly address the specifics of the criticism you receive. Don't slip into an adversarial mode; instead, seek a response that allows everyone to share in a common victory.
You may be challenged to handle a serious issue today which can make you feel uncomfortable. Your natural tendency to sidestep an unpleasant situation is a strategy that often works well for you, but now you'll be better off if you face the music. It's likely you will need to overcome a ridge of resistance, but you'll feel better once you decide to deal with whatever comes up. The first steps are the hardest; it gets easier as you go along.
You must stand up to someone who tries to bully you today. Whether you win or lose the conflict, though, is not as important as you think. What is significant is that you establish yourself as a person who won't be pushed around. Even if you must eventually acquiesce, you will make it known that you are not a pushover. Don't be afraid to express your feelings, for it is from them that you derive your strength.
There is a wide gulf between how you feel now and what you are willing to do. In fact, your actions may say one thing while common sense says something else. Nevertheless, your emotions might prevail today in a skirmish between your head and your heart. Remember, logic can be used to answer a question, but not to share what's in your heart.
Although a relationship issue may be more complicated now, you are feeling like you're back in your own element. Even if an emotional drama has recently come into the light, today you have the fortitude to overcome your fears and engage in a discussion about what's happening. But don't fall into the trap of thinking you already know the outcome. Remain true to your heart while being flexible enough to change as the situation evolves.
You may feel somewhat let down today as the illuminating Sun leaves your sign for the darker world of Scorpio. However, you aren't ready to jump into the shadowy realms. You might not want to complicate things by exploring your feelings. Even if you prefer to spend more time in lighthearted banter, you can also appreciate the inevitability of the upcoming changes.
The Sun's return to your sign today for a month-long visit can bring buried feelings into the light. Your perspective is already beginning to change although there is much more for you to learn. Still, you may feel as if you have already done the hard work, so the rest should be easier. Whatever approach you take, don't underestimate the transformative power of Scorpio.
You may feel as if an inspirational light has been turned off now that the Moon has left your adventurous sign and entered somber Capricorn. Rather than spreading doom and gloom, you are free to keep your feelings to yourself for a while -- especially with the Sun moving in your 12th House of Secrets. But don't sacrifice your integrity by glossing over something that must be said. As long as you are kind-hearted, you can't go wrong telling the truth.
The cautious Capricorn Moon's monthly conjunction with relentless Pluto today can bend you out of shape for a bit, but don't worry. You may go on a quick trip into the depths of your own subconscious mind, but you won't be required to stay there for too long. You have nothing to fear; there's nothing inherently dangerous about this transit, unless you try to resist the growth that it can bring.
It's time for you to place your attention on your professional path, and this may require you to temporarily hide your passions. But tread carefully here, for it's not a good idea to bury them so deeply that you cannot remember how you feel. Remember, even if your emotions are inconvenient at times, they are still the source of making real connections.
Waves of refreshing emotions are now washing over you and rejuvenating your life. But don't make the mistake of thinking that all will be easy; it won't. You can be quite overwhelmed today, but the intensity can be a catalyst to open your heart. Don't waste energy resisting your fears. Expressing them is your best insurance against shutting down your emotions.
You need to be extra careful today because your overconfidence could make you susceptible to missing an important piece of information. Others will probably go out of their way to be around you now, for your exuberance is contagious. However, they may not be so happy if you lead them in circles or down a dead end street. Instead of taking charge, try sharing leadership responsibilities. You'll do better with a team approach.
Your key planet Venus can send confusing signals to you today as she tempts you with unlikely scenarios and impossible dreams. There's nothing wrong with exploring your unfulfilled desires within the realm of fantasy, but you can run into trouble if you try to make them real. Your imagination can be a powerful ally now, but you'll need to have the wisdom to return to your mundane responsibilities when necessary.
You are like a kite that is flying around in the breeze today. You may feel rather ungrounded and as if you are at the mercy of the changing winds. Fortunately, steady currents allow you to gain altitude. But there are also strange weather patterns that make it impossible for you to know what will be coming next. Your best strategy is to remain flexible until calmer times return.
M
It's challenging for you to relax today because you are being asked to do something unfamiliar and you prefer knowing more details before you start. But you don't have the time to do research now, so you might as well bite the bullet and just do the best you can. It will be hard work, but it could provide you with an interesting experience while also pushing you through your natural resistance.
Relying on your communication skills today can put you in the middle of an interesting interaction -- and one where you don't have control over everything that's being said. Don't try to manifest your need to be the top dog now; anything you can do to gain a bit of anonymity is a smart idea. If you try to push your own agenda, your words are likely to backfire on you.
Your life becomes a bit more complicated today as rational Mercury forms irrational aspects with intense Pluto and unorthodox Uranus. What seemed straightforward yesterday has now become a tricky path that's hard to follow. But don't lose faith; keep the big picture in your mind and move methodically in that direction the best you can.
You are inspired to create something extraordinary today, but unexpected events at work might have you putting off this little project. Your upbeat demeanor goes a long way to keep your peers invested in your scheme, for they want to believe in you now. However, if you attempt to push anyone too hard, you could feel the resistance push you back pretty quickly.
Although you might be inclined to take on a significant project today, it's smarter to wait a few days before initiating action. Instead of starting anything new, continue with your current routine for now. In the meantime, take a look at your finances and pay any bills that are currently due. It's better to put your accounts in order before you are in the midst of an emergency.
You may be ready to strike out on your own, yet this may not be the smartest course for you to take now. The Sagittarius Moon can heap on an extra layer of self-confidence, sending your enthusiasm over the top. If you don't restrain your excitement, your greatest ideas might be lost because of hasty execution. If you can demonstrate your willingness to be patient, everything might just work out according to your plan.
Although you may be quite excited about your current prospects at work, a little voice from inside your head is telling you "not yet." Listen to your intuition for it will be much wiser for you to swing into action after the Moon enters your ambitious sign on Friday. In the meantime there's plenty to do behind the scenes, so get busy and tie up as many loose ends as you possibly can.
Your mind is not on what's happening at work today. Instead, you are time traveling into your own future. It may be a bit confusing as you try to separate your current circumstances from who you are becoming. Nevertheless, take cues from what you see in your fantasies and visions, for they can help you gradually turn your dreams into reality over the years ahead.
Your workmates seem to believe that you have answers to their complex questions today, even if you think that you really don't have any more information than anyone else. Still, you must take credit for your knowledge, because it may be exactly what the next person needs. But don't overstep your authority; if you claim to know more than you actually do, your house of cards could tumble quickly.
CERTAIN people are senstivie to plutos activities
are you feeling dark forboding?deep uncomfortable
paranoia,sense of mystical ( occult) but not Godly?
Sense of "need to shift" radically,and deceptions around your life
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although you don't like it when anyone pushes you around, you could come on too strongly today when dealing with others. Unfortunately, you might be unaware of how overbearing you can be now. Your best bet is to understate any desires that may surface so you don't scare off someone you are trying to attract. But if you are feeling very intense, at least remember to be gentle in your approach.
Your key planet Venus squares ruthless Pluto today, creating discord in love or a struggle over the control of money. But whatever the cause of a current argument, there is more going on than meets the eye. An open conflict may be the playing field for a deeper and more complex issue. Don't avoid what you don't understand.
You know that talking about your uncomfortable feelings can help you transform them into healthier expressions of your needs. But open communication is not so simple if you mean one thing yet say something else. You might even believe that you are being clear, yet still no one understands what you said. Nevertheless, take the extra time to try to connect with your friends in a deeper way while you can.
You may be aware of how someone in your life is engaging you in a process that is dramatically transforming you. Your first inclination might be to walk away, but the magnetic draw can keep you involved, whether or not you think it's a good idea. Even if you believe that you are strong enough to keep control, you may be surprised to discover that you are in over your head. Don't withdraw; the change will do you good.
You may be playing with fire these days as the Venus-Pluto square heats up a romance. But it's not likely that you're feeling lighthearted now; instead, you're in it to win it. Meanwhile, you are simultaneously drawn toward a more spiritual approach to love. Your best bet is to continually seek balance between these two very different approaches.
Your strong feelings for someone can bring up issues around your core beliefs now if the two of you have divergent views. It may be fruitless to try to convince the other person of his or her guilt. Instead of blaming anyone else, try a more cooperative approach by letting your dreams guide you down the path of life, while allowing others to follow theirs.
There may be an unspoken truth that needs to come out in the open now. Or, perhaps, someone is attempting to hide his or her true feelings behind an emotional firewall. Unfortunately, this isn't about intelligent protectionism; it's about fearful isolation. Luckily, with resourceful Venus in your sign now, you will easily figure out what to do next.
You are doing your best to honor a deeper set of emotions that have been recently stirred, yet you intelligently realize that talking about your feelings now is likely counterproductive. Innocent Venus squares experienced Pluto, indicating that you could be stressed out today as you attempt to decide how much to share. You are better off waiting a few days before climbing out on a limb and saying too much.
You are doing your best to stay focused on the good times ahead, but there's still this little problem called "today." You may be angry with someone you love. Or, perhaps jealousy has crept in under the radar and is now feeding a feud. You are tempted to take the high road and overlook the less constructive emotions, yet denial isn't the answer either. Your friends can help you out, but first, you'll need to ask for their participation.
You want to be extra practical today, yet things keep happening to prove that nothing is clear. You may be annoyed at someone who gets you all stirred up, then doesn't have the courtesy to follow through with a mature discussion. Even if you do begin talking about love, the key players appear to be at cross-purposes with each other. Don't worry too much about this interaction, for the energies will shift over the days ahead.
You are taking yourself more seriously now, yet you know this phase won't last long. Even so, you could find the time to get into it with an intimate partner when he or she decides that your long-term plans are illogical. Be careful, for you could easily become obsessed with a current idea. Listen to the advice with an open mind and heart.
Your attraction to intimacy today can be complicated by unexpressed anger or your belief that someone is trying to coerce you into agreeing with them. Fortunately, you're too clever and slippery now to be dominated by anyone's show of force and you quickly escape the clutches of emotional possession. But it's going to take a few more days of being in limbo. Once you put some time behind you, you'll be fine.
You may be concerned that you have too many tasks to complete today, but you should be able to do them all as long as you stay focused. Luckily, you have the ability to turn a difficult situation into one that is manageable, but there's little margin for error or for wasted time. Even if you don't finish everything, you should feel good about what you accomplish.
The bumps in the road may smooth out for you today as you apply yourself toward your responsibilities. But meeting your obligations isn't enough now; you also need to enjoy yourself. Oddly enough, getting your work done could leave you feeling empty, unless you have some companionship to share in your success. In order to feel fully satisfied with your accomplishments, make sure to spice up your day with a bit of fun.
You might feel frustrated today by the limitations being placed on you. You may have to cut your activities short in order to meet a family obligation or to take care of a chore at home. Don't fret over a missed social opportunity; it's healthier to just let it go. You'll feel better if you forget about what you aren't being allowed to do and stay focused on doing your job well.
Your life is simple when you just do what you are supposed to do. But on days like this, even if you know what you should be working on, you might not feel inspired to come up with the correct magical words or the right actions. Even if you aren't excited about what's ahead, keep plodding through the day. Your enthusiasm gathers momentum and will have a positive effect on everyone around you.
You are moving forward to your destination and the work you did yesterday may finally begin to pay off today. But there won't likely be a chance for too much partying, and that's a healthy thing for you. Don't try to take on too much now. Your eagerness to demonstrate your affection might have you setting everything aside and taking a trip with someone you love.
The Moon's entry into your earthy sign is just one more reminder of the practical side of life. You don't want to stop what you're doing to partake in such essential activities as eating or drinking. But running off and doing something wildly impractical can be dangerous now. Take care of your health before you get yourself into a jam.
You may become aware once more that your social conditions are just too complicated to manage. It feels as if something is going to change, but you cannot tell what it may be yet. You might even feel on edge as you run through all the possibilities. Unfortunately, your heightened sense of anticipation of the unknown could be a week too soon. Instead of worrying about what's ahead, finish up what you've already started.
You might be afraid that if you put too much effort into your social life, you'll become attached to your dream of making things happen as you imagine them. Your fantasy life is intense these days with the Sun, Mercury and Venus in your 12th House of Dreams. Still, it's better to start the ball rolling in any direction than to simply leave it where it sits now.
Attending to lots of details today isn't your idea of fun and games, but you're bound to feel better once you tie up as many loose ends as possible. Don't take any shortcuts, for they will only invite the energy to unravel what you have already completed. It's more important to follow through on what you already began than to run off and start a new project.
The Moon's entry into fellow earth sign, Virgo, suggests that you need to slow down and get things right before making plans for your next great adventure. This is not a light and easy day for you, but, still, you can accomplish a lot if you're willing to balance your down-to-earth approach with your ambitious goals.
You might feel extra smart today and are eager to move quickly on your plans for the immediate future. But impulsive behavior can spell trouble, so look at what you are doing before you initiate action. It's best to reevaluate your options now, while delaying your start date until after Sunday's Aquarius New Moon.
The picky Virgo Moon is in your 7th House of Partnerships, suggesting that you may have to deal with more interpersonal drama than you prefer. But entering into a dialogue with a pragmatic person now can reveal the weak links in your pet project. Don't shut out your friends just because you disagree with their opinions. Instead, apply what you learn in order to increase your chances of finding and maintaining successful relationships.

Bringing abundance and blessings to the home has been a tradition of many different religions since the beginning of time. Today we have access to information from so many different cultures sociologically, and also a new blend of spirituality from many sources, mixing the old with the new. Blessings have been mixed with positive psychology, and indeed there is such a variety of blessings to choose from. This article will look at some of the basics of blessings, some specific methods of different groups and some general methods from a non-denominational non sectarian spiritual viewpoint.
First and foremost let us look at the idea of what a blessing is. Personally I like to look at Rogets Thesauraus for a definition better than in a dictionary, as it gives us many more ideas:
|
google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);
| " blessing (noun): Benediction, benison, beatitude; God send."
To me that is very connotative and gives the idea that a blessing is a thing of goodness, happiness, send of positive energy, in the form of a benediction from a clergyman or a sending from Divinity. Blessings can also be looked at as drawing in abundance, protecting households, encouraging the gifts and talents in those households as well as the protection of members health. Most of us have a general idea of what a blessing is. In this article we will synonmously look at house exorcisms to cleans a household of what some might call "bad vibes, as in bad vibrations" with the idea of blessings.
While blessings can be done by clergymen by making the sign of divinity upon the air or the foreheads of believers or sprinkling holy water or burning incense, the same methods can be applied by people for the blessings of their homes.
Basically what lies behind the idea of blessings are a few important keys. The first one is taken from the Christian Nicene Creed, but reflects the belief systems of so many religions. The Creed states at one point: "Belief in things seen and unseen". There is a belief in a supernatural world, a world beyond or above the natural, one that is all around us. A belief that there are things happening that are unseen, and indeed that our symbolic actions whether they be prayers or gestures, trigger something in that unseen world IF there if faith. True belief. It is upon this basis that we find blessings to be a wonderful part of our own spirituality.
Many traditions go about blessings a house or driving forth negativity in a variety of different ways. Catholic priests go from room to room reading holy scripture and gesturing, sometimes making the sign of the cross and sometimes scattering holy water. The symbolic meaning is clear. The holy water is cast to the four directions in the room to cleanse out negativity. An important part of holy water is salt, a preservative, something the Hebrew people associated with the actual name of God, and indeed something important in so many non Christian traditions and belief systems. Salt as a cleanser, purifier, and preservative. Whether you make the sign of the cross upon the air, or upon doorposts or upon the walls with olive oil that you have prayed over for protection to bless it, your faith in what you are doing is the key. The sign can be any symbol you find holy and with belief you can bless your house. Lighting candles and praying over them with symbolic colors such as white for protection can be very effective. Praying key passages of any holy book can be effective IF that is your belief system. The classic Christian scripture, from Psalms "The Lord is my Shepherd" or the "Lord is my Rock and My Fortress" can be very powerful.
The Native American tradition looks at prayer to the Great Spirit, and the use of incense, sometimes sage, for smudging upon the walls for protection and exorcism of negative energy as a powerful rite of house blessing. Using totem statues for protection around the house with belief can also be a form of blessing and protection, just as statues of saints can also be effective.
Praying around your house, with your family can be very powerful. Some prayers can be specifically structured to ask for guardians, or guardian angels for the household. You can visualize light in your household or a bubble of light encasing your household as a spiritual meditation. Some traditions draw a circle of salt around the house or draw a circle of salt around the house or holy water itself. Other simple forms of blessings include the use of sacramentals, such as holy water or palm frond from an easter service, or holy symbols themselves nailed to the walls or doors.
Finally, we should look at how to pray or bless. The best advice I can give of course, is whatever is effective for you. Whatever symbols resonate with your belief system. Whatever colors, statues, pictures or other holy items appeal, are what will be most effective. Why you may ask? Because faith is a matter of belief. Our belief systems shape our reality. In your faith journey, which may or may not have a particular destination, remember to practice the many methods of bringing many blessings into your life and others. |

Aries You are caught in the middle of a complex swirl of energy as you get a taste of what's ahead in your future. Although you want to be balanced in your approach to relationships now, you might have to make a hard decision that tilts the scales one way or the other. Fortunately, your good intentions should be sufficient to spin the current circumstances in a direction that's beneficial to all involved. |
| |
 |
Taurus You would prefer avoiding a confrontation today, for you cannot see how it will lead to anything positive. Uncharacteristically, it's easier for you to sit on the fence now and wait for resolution than to get caught up in making something happen. But inaction will only work so long. Ultimately, everyone will feel better after the differing opinions have been expressed, even if currently there's no apparent common ground. |
| |
 |
Gemini Your key planet Mercury the Communicator might seem powerless standing up to the intensity of transformative Pluto; but the lesson is that your thoughts will endure, even if your perspective changes. Holding your vision in your imagination can be the guiding light you need in order to face a difficult opponent. You may feel that someone wants to defeat you, but if you're wise enough to avoid open conflict now, you'll be able to continue on your way toward your destination. |
| |
 |
Cancer It's more challenging for you to express your feelings now that the Moon is back in your sign. Life seems overly intense today and there's so much going on within your mind that it's nearly impossible to know where to start. Although it's a smart idea to overcome your hesitation, you don't have to share everything. Pick and choose your topics of discussion; emphasizing those things you can be optimistic about will actually help you reach your goals. |
| |
 |
Leo You may be feeling a bit sheepish today if you recently went out on a limb and said more than you intended. However hopeful you are that others will step beyond their narrow-minded thinking and be able to see the big picture, you still could face an uphill battle. Attempts to show your intellectual superiority are bound to fail. Instead of making someone else the loser, figure out how everyone can win. |
| |
 |
Virgo Although you know the importance of your own core values, it's difficult when someone close to you has a different set of assumptions and beliefs. But it's a trap to engage in dialogue for the purpose of proving you are right. Once you accept that intelligent people can hold opposing views, then you'll be free to work on improving yourself instead of wasting time on trying to change another person's mind. |
| |
 |
Libra Mercury's current visit to your sign should make you more talkative and increase your overall mental activity. But you will have to fight for your right to speak your mind, especially if a domineering family member tries to emotionally coerce you into remaining silent or misrepresenting the facts. Fortunately, your creativity is flowing directly from the source now, making it easier to be proactive. Be considerate of other people's feelings, but don't let that stop you from being yourself. |
| |
 |
Scorpio Interactive Mercury dynamically squares ruthless Pluto, your key planet, raising issues of jealousy or possessiveness in relationships. You might think that someone is doing something behind your back, but it's probably just your fear stirring up these fantasies. Don't give in to the negativity; the choice is yours. Your decision to concentrate on self-improvement, with or without anyone's acknowledgment, should put a positive spin on the day. |
| |
 |
Sagittarius Your key planet Jupiter is in an optimistic trine with the illuminating Sun, lifting your spirits and raising your hopes. Fortunately, your positive attitude will strongly impact your immediate future, yet uncontrollable self-doubt could also surface now and temporarily ruin a good day. Connect with your friends, for they can help take your mind off of your problems and remind you of what's most important. |
| |
 |
Capricorn You could lock horns and find yourself in a standoff today if you feel threatened by someone who may be extremely smart. But other people's fast talk and clever ideas are no match for your current persistence and strong sense of purpose. Although others could easily anger you now, don't let yourself be distracted from your ambitious goals. |
| |
 |
Aquarius You have the power of clear vision today and shouldn't allow anyone to take your dreams away from you. But it can be tricky if someone questions your authority or integrity. As soon as you focus your energy on defending yourself, everything shifts into a more aggressive and negative posture. Remember, there is no reason to justify your position now. Instead, just keep your eyes on your distant goal and continue stepping in that direction. |
| |
 |
Pisces Although your feelings are quite intense today, you are currently blessed with the ability to remain slightly detached from your emotions. Luckily, maintaining a healthy perspective on reality now also allows you to sidestep a pointless conflict with others who fundamentally disagree with your position. Remember, you really have nothing to prove. Instead of arguing with someone you love, just stay focused on realizing your dreams. |

Taking care of money matters is usually a good idea when the Moon is in your 2nd House of Finances. But you could miss the point and put your effort into the wrong task if you don't stop to consider what's most important. Setting priorities can be tricky, but it can make the difference between a successful day and one where you just spin wheels and don't get anything accomplished.
Today, with the Moon in your 1st House of Personality, your immediate reactions are more transparent than normal. You are wearing your feelings on your sleeve for everyone to see. Others may look at you in wonder, for you have a way of simplifying complex issues that is enviable. Keep in mind that some things are really more complicated than you wish. Don't throw out important details for the sake of expediency.
You are able to be like the rock of Gibraltar today. You may appear relatively steady and easygoing, but you are holding something back that you're just not ready to share. Normally, you might start off by keeping quiet, but as soon as you are relaxed with someone, you blurt out whatever you are thinking. Now, however, you are quite comfortable to wait until you are certain of the timing. Develop your ideas for a few more days before divulging your current secret.
Your dreams are quite solid today; you are putting together real pieces of your life into new possibilities, rather than unwinding idle fantasies. Don't worry about how you'll accomplish your goals yet; it's likely that your thoughts will become more practical over the next few days until a workable plan emerges from your imagination.
You are not in the mood to pussyfoot around the truth today. You clearly see a path to your destination and you're ready to do whatever it takes to get you there in the most reliable manner. But your workmates and associates may not be as practical and you might have to work around them. Be wary of new partnerships now. Even if someone charming enters your life offering you encouragement and assistance, it still might be better to work on your own.
It's a lot easier today for you to share what is on your mind, but only if you can talk in the realm of future possibilities. Your ability to project into the distance now makes this a great day to discuss plans in a very broad sense. But as a topic moves closer to the present moment, it becomes more challenging for you to articulate your feelings. Even waiting just one day should improve conversations about more immediate issues.
You may be receiving mixed signals today as you attempt to take the path of least resistance. You have a lot of common sense working on your behalf now, and you could be taking a current decision process quite seriously. But there's also a feeling of optimism that's lurking out on the horizon and you are eager to get over this current hump so you can enjoy what's ahead. Your intuition is sound, but it's still smarter to focus on the present moment and proceed one step at a time.
You are willing to sink into the depths of your subconscious as part of an exploration of the current possibilities. But you might run into a stone wall if you are expecting a partner to join you on this metaphysical journey. Others are quick to give you lip service by expressing their eagerness, but seem to back out before it gets intense. Fortunately, you're better off in these spaces of imagination by yourself. Your friends will still be there when you return.
The Moon is in your 6th House of Daily Routine today, turning this into an opportune time to think about your well-being and what you could do to improve it. Making a small change to your diet, exercise program or daily health regimen can have long-lasting positive consequences now. But it's crucial that you don't attempt to do too much. Little steps that create enduring change are more effective than big ones that don't last.
You are operating on a highly efficient rhythm today as you set your pace in the morning and stick with it until your work is done. Fortunately, this should leave you with sufficient time for play, making this a relatively easy day. However, the Moon's square to expansive Jupiter can trick you into taking on more than you can complete. Pay attention to your commitments before you make them, and not after you realize that you cannot deliver what you promised.
You may receive more support from your family today than you expect. Fortunately, this could make your life easier, knowing that others are really there for you. But the help might not be exactly what you need, even if it's well intentioned. If you feel stifled by someone else meddling in your affairs when you wish they wouldn't, you'll need to express yourself in the kindest manner possible. Don't make matters worse by offending your best ally.
It's easy to get swept up into someone else's agenda today, yet you could be left feeling like you didn't really help them very much, and your own work remains unfinished, too. It's smarter to set clear boundaries early in the day. You will feel better about pitching in on other people's projects after you have fulfilled your responsibilities.
The reckless Aries Full Moon pushes us to behave radically as we're further provoked to take a risk by trickster Mercury's tense opposition to unpredictable Uranus. Meanwhile, energetic Mars enters the picture by harmonizing with Mercury and Uranus, enabling us to think on our feet and react quickly to changing conditions. However, a series of complex quincunxes muddles our clarity, making it difficult to know what the best choices are for the future.
It's challenging to just be yourself in relationships while also being there for your partner. Sometimes you feel that the two are mutually exclusive, yet now you are of the belief that you can do both. Keep in mind that your friend or partner still might have slightly different expectations, so go out of your way to be specific when clarifying what you want. Understanding each other is the best guarantee of avoiding any hurt feelings.
Although you want to please a close friend or lover, it's easy for you to go overboard today and try to do too much. You can miss the point as you are tempted to fix everything right away because you want others to be happy. But making everyone's problems disappear is not required. The best approach now is to listen, offer your thoughts and share your feelings. Maintaining your own balance might be the most important thing you can do for anyone else.
You want to play the role of a social superhero now, saving the day by making it possible for your friends to have a good time. The Full Moon highlights your 11th House of Community and reflects your 5th House of Love. But your key planet Mercury is shooting one brilliant thought after another into your awareness and you are distracted by just trying to keep up with yourself. Forget about showing everyone how clever you are. Don't attempt to take over the group; just enjoy being a member of the pack.
You are eager to be in charge now, yet you might prefer running things from the sidelines. You want to be acknowledged for what you do, yet you don't necessarily want to be the center of attention. Worry less about what others might think. Instead, focus on what's happening in the present moment and be ready to react with your best shot, regardless of the approval you may or may not receive.
The fiery Aries Full Moon shines in your 9th House of Adventure, opening your mind to the possibilities around you. You may miss the potential downside by glossing over the details; they just aren't very important to you now. Nevertheless, keep in mind that slowing down your reaction time is a smart strategy, for it will give you a better chance of making the right decision the first time around.
You may be bouncing back and forth between being extremely emotional and overly intellectual. It's challenging for you to find a resting place between your heart and your head, especially when they each lead you in a different direction. It may be wiser for you to simply stay where you are and postpone your decision for a day or two. Your choices will be clearer once the hectic energy starts to settle down.
The tension of the self-directed Aries Full Moon sets up a primal contradiction between you and others today. But it's the uncomfortable quincunx between sensual Venus and indulgent Jupiter that makes it so tough for you to find peace. You want more than you can have and your desires erratically jump all over the map. Relaxing is out of the question, but physically moving your abundant energy now can help to mellow you out.
You may be so antsy today that you are ready to jump out of your skin. Calming your nerves is trickier to do in reality than in your fantasies -- and that's the basic dilemma of this Full Moon in your 6th House of Daily Routine opposite the Sun in your 12th House of Dreams. Making a lot of adjustments throughout the day can help to minimize your frustrations, but won't make them go away. You will need to wait a day or two for the tension to dissipate.
You may become so excited now that you forget about your previous obligations and run off in pursuit of a good time. Unfortunately, you will have to pay the price today if you choose to avoid your responsibilities. Remember, you have the power to say "not yet" instead of "yes." This allows you to finish your chores before you lose yourself into the potential pleasures of the day.
You want some excitement around your home now, and might stir up some mischief just for fun; but be careful what you wish for today. Unfortunately, you could get carried away and inadvertently create more trouble than you bargained for. Thankfully, any instability that unexpectedly surfaces should settle back down pretty quickly tomorrow.
Today's Full Moon in your 3rd House of Immediate Surroundings ensures a lot of action around you. The distractions in your life can be a lot of fun now, but they also prevent you from getting the rest and relaxation you want. Don't work yourself into an anxious state if the day begins to slip away before you start to enjoy it. Just float along with the surprises the best you can. It will take more energy to resist than simply going with the flow.
If you are working on a project with someone else, you may find yourself caught between your own values and those of your partner today as the independent Aries Full Moon opposes the diplomatic Libra Sun. But your words might only serve to complicate matters as interactive Mercury forms a crunchy quincunx with confusing Neptune. Take extra time to think about how your message will be interpreted before you say anything at all.
