Astrology for the Week, September 13, 2009

This week starts off with the peaking of a quincunx between Saturn and Neptune. It began the last week of August will end the first week of October. The intensity of the energy now makes you take a calculating look at your dreams and visions. This is the perfect time to get rid of the ones that no longer serve you and to empower the ones that resonate with your soul. The thing that you will find is that you have sold yourself short on what you thought could really happen. “Now, wait a minute,” you will say, “I did believe in my dreams and put positive energy into them. I could see them happening and expected them to happen. And then my whole world collapsed.” Well, that happened for one of three reasons: 1) It was what your ego wanted and not your soul. 2) Your dreams and goals were based on fear of the future. You wanted the money guaranteed. You wanted lots of it in good secure investments, so you could do what you wanted to do. That showed that you didn’t trust that what you would need would come to you when you needed it. 3) You wanted to believe that your dreams would happen, when push came to shove, you really didn’t believe that at all. You were hoping that it would happen. You did all the motions that teachers of Law of Attracted outlined, but deep down you really didn’t believe that it would come true. So, take a cold hard look at your dreams, visions and goals. Dust off the dreams that bombed and the ones that you were afraid to implement. Do they need any adjustments or recalculations? It is time to start dreaming again. Make your intention every morning, “Today I intend to experience a miracle.”

Mercury is still retrograde and will continue to be until the 29th. Pay attention to the usual cautions about Retrograde Mercury: avoid signing contracts, problems with communication, delays in plans, and problems with electronic communication devices and computers. If you must sign contracts or begin a new project, next weekend, September 19th and 20th would be the ideal time.

Monday, September 14, is a great day to implement your intention to experience a miracle. A golden yod peaks that day which adds extra strength or magic to Law of Attraction activities. Remember what I wrote about yods before, if you are following what your soul wants, it is a wonderful magical time, if you do not, it is like the middle finger of God wagging at you, so you had better be clear about your intentions. What is your real motive? That is the question that you have to answer.

Tuesday, September 15, is a very active day with a couple of aspects happening at once. The first is that challenging Saturn – Uranus opposition. This is the third of a series of 5 oppositions. This aspect was active when Obama was elected and represents the face off of old and new, tradition and innovation. You see it in the town hall meeting about health care reform. Many people do not want to change anything vs. those who realize that the system is broken. This energy will help you to decide what structures in your life need overhauling. There is also an opposition between Venus and Neptune which will help you to decide what a delusional fantasy in your life is and what you really want. This energy will also make you look at the ways you are or are not creative in your life.

Wednesday is a good day for financial gain with the aspect between Jupiter and Ceres. Ceres is the earth mother so it can also mean a day to really nurture and take care of your dreams and goals by putting yourself first. Taking care of everyone else except yourself will stop the flow of abundance and by doing that you are telling the universe that you really don’t matter.

Thursday, September 17 is another challenging day with three difficult aspects occurring within 7 hours. The first one happens when the Sun enters the Saturn–Uranus opposition. This will change the focus of the opposition from an external, environmental one to an inner focus. What is not working in your life and what needs to be dramatically changed? It will be like a spotlight illuminating these issues. That is a great chance that you will feel overwhelmed, helpless and just plain old depressed. Movement is a great way to alleviate the energy. Take walks, clean your house, do something physical. You may also use anger as a means to raise yourself out of depression, but be careful with that as the Mercury-Pluto aspect make it easier to become verbally abusive.

The reprieve doesn’t come Friday, September 18 with the New Moon. New Moons are usually a great time to start new projects, but you should wait until Saturday or Sunday to begin to implement anything or when Mercury goes direct. The new moon aligns with the challenging Saturn-Uranus opposition bringing to the surface, old emotional issues that need to be resolved. So, like with other areas of your life, what emotional responses or memories serve you? What emotional responses or memories need to be trashed and gotten rid of? During this time you will receive intuitive flashes to help you in the process. There is guidance there. Put aside your ego and listen.

Saturday and Sunday, the Sun conjuncts Mercury energizing communication. But because Mercury is retrograde, the communication will be more internal, introspective and contemplative. Venus moves into Virgo and is trine Pluto, so this will begin a period of transforming relationships. The work is still ongoing but you will start to see light at the end of the tunnel.

The cards that I pulled for this week are 2 healing cards and 1 angel card:
Angel Cars: Have confidence.
Having confidence in yourself does not mean that you have to do it all. Can you believe that there is a higher power that will guide and help you through all the crises of your life? Law of attraction made us believe that we (ego) do it all but as many of us have learned, there are things that we cannot do and must have faith that it will get done. Believe in miracles. That is where the magic is.

Healing Card:
Ask for guidance in seeing the truth concealed in your personal challenges. 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.

Healing Card:
Constantly maintain alertness in walking, sitting, eating and sleeping. You don’t always need to meditate to keep your attention in the present time; simply be aware. Alertness also serves your intuitive voice by keeping you focused and receptive. Continuous alertness is your task today.
