This Week in Astrology August 23, 2009

The theme for this week is healing. On Tuesday Mars enters Cancer which will energize healing, nurturing and the home, which can also represent your Soul. Mercury also changes signs on Tuesday entering Libra. This will make it a good time for relating to others. Make it your intention to express gratitude for the people in your life. On Wednesday Venus enters Leo. For the next month, it will be your time to shine creatively. Start implementing those creative ideas that you have. Remember law of attraction doesn't work unless you begin some sort of action. It is now the time.

Wednesday will be a challenging day because of Mercury squaring that troublesome Mars-Pluto opposition. Conflict, fights, hurtful words will come easily as your unresolved issues come out into the open. Instead of being angry and attacking, try to use this energy calmly and assertively while speaking your truth. Think of how you could positively transform the situation. This will allow you to harness this powerful energy for implementing new beginnings.

In spite of issues with communication this week, the energy will shift by Friday. This will be a great day for heart to heart communications or to make decisions about your future.

Cards for this Week:

Healing Card
Resisting change leads to illness. Accepting change brings about peace. Embrace the changes in your life. Release what you no longer need, and welcome the seeds of new experience.

Healing Card
Friendliness, compassion, and delight cultivate a calm mind. Practice the healing power of a compassionate mind. Open your heart to yourself and to other people without judgment and radiate the message of delight of having them in your life.

Self Acceptance
True healing starts with self acceptance. Let go of the idea that there is something you need to change about yourself because that brings resistance into your life. And what you resists persists. Do a list of all your traits, talents and abilities and put it up where you can see it each morning. If your list is short make up items because if you can think of it, you can be it. Self acceptance is the way to reclaim your power. You are perfection. Breathe that energy in.
