This week in Astrology August 9, 2009

You are still reeling from the effects of the lunar eclipse in Cancer last month. This made you want to wallow in self pity because everything still is falling apart. The economic experts are saying that recovery is around the corner, but that is not what you see. Allow yourself a pity party but then stand up and shout at the universe, "I want to experience a miracle today." Pluto is retrograde in Capricorn. This means that you are reliving issues from last January and also from March 2008. This will be disheartening as you thought you had found the solutions to your problems. What happened is that the Universe has decided that you need to aquire new information that you would not have experienced on your old path. So you are on a side trip right now. Pluto in Capricorn is also about speaking your truth, but the fall out from this can be quite unpleasant. What happened had to happen in order for something new to come into your life. But not all is lost, by September 2010, you will see the positive side of this with events, opportunites and people that you thought were gone forever coming back into your life. This week and throughtout the rest of August, Pluto is opposing Lillith, who is the Goddess of the Night and represents the priniciple of personal power and conflict resolution. Lillith is in Cancer, so the solution is forgiveness. forgive yourself and forgive others. Ceres who represents your capacity to unconditionally love and nurture yourself is squared Pluto. This will force you to find the little things in your life that make you happy. What you want, the great vacation or lots of money, just isn't going to happen right now, and it is important that you find simple things, like looking at the sunset or flowers, that bring you peace and joy. These things will be the lifeline that will help you through this turbulent time of transformation. Remember it takes great pressure to create a diamond.

The cards that I pulled for this week are:
Psychic Awareness. Take the time to develop your intuition. Listen to your inner voice. Become aware of what is not obvious visually in your environment. All is not as it seems.

Shower of Abundance: This is a wonderful card because it says to recognize what is going great in your life. Appreciate what is working and what you really have. Start an abundance journal. Be happy in the moment, even if your world is falling apart. This will create the conditions for abundance to come back into your life in the manner that you desire.

And the last card is a Healing Card. It says: Bless your difficulties and ask to see their hidden guidance. Have the courage to accept what you discover and to initiate whatever action your healing requires.
