Tip of the week

As the fourth of four New Moons in a row, each at zero degrees of their respective signs, and concluding a four-element deep base beat culminates to Full Moon in Leo (Feb. 3), we have reason and opportunity to reflect upon the bigger picture.

The first of the four was a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio, the sign of purification and regeneration, death and rebirth. The next two New Moons to come are in Aquarius and Pisces and both at 29 degrees with the Pisces New Moon a Solar Eclipse occurring just hours prior to Spring Equinox and will culminate with the third Lunar Eclipse of four on April 4, constituting a rare tetrad – its own four-beat rhythm of thunderous proportion. Yes, these are powerful signs synchronizing with pivotal times. The purpose of the double Aquarius New Moon beat is to illuminate and awaken.

In this dawning Age of Aquarius, humanity is experiencing a collective wake-up call. It is saying: hey you multidimensional beings, souls incarnate, now is a good time to set aside for a precious moment or two your interests, attractions, daily duties and distractions and come to an even fuller realization yet that our planet is undergoing an evolutionary crisis and you can and ideally will do something about it.

If you are wondering what you can do, the answer includes begin by being aware and care and then set a clear intention to do something. This is where your own Astrology can help a lot. As well, talk about it, educate and inspire yourself and others, meditate in your heart, acknowledge and give reverence to higher realities, cultivate courage, pray, call on angels, visualize, post meaningful and educational sayings, poems talks and videos on the Internet, Facebook, YouTube and the like… support a meaningful cause, sign a petition online, focus on love and unity and realize that if ever there was a time to do such things with added intent, it is now.

Jan. 30 – Feb. 5

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Dreams and visions of greater harmony in your closest relationships are dancing in your mind. Yet, the music comes to a sudden halt when the sobering realities involved are acknowledged. Yet once they are the music can begin to play again. The key to opening the first door is to be aware and let the significant others in your life know that you are aware and willing. This is how to say ‘I love you’ in action.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Shifts and changes in the world are influencing your public and professional life. Likewise, these outer changes are quite possibly shaking your personal life. A third scenario includes social activities of late cutting in on your home and professional life. In any case, the emphasis on your public and professional life is receiving fresh activations now.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Delving into philosophical realms is stretching your perspectives. It is likely this will lead you out of familiar territory. At worst, this may leave you feeling rather overwhelmed and even lost. Positively, you will experience fresh inspirations available for creative self-expression. If you are really fortunate, you will undergo a heart opening that will produce a deep sense of communion.

Cancer (Jun 21 – July 22)

Sometimes it is better to be silent, to listen more or perhaps to meditate or to research more than express, like now. Outer circumstances triggering inner realities or the other way around are activating a kaleidoscope of new perceptions. Digesting all of these will take time. Meanwhile, the prospect of making key investments for the future is leading you to learn more.

Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)

Invitations and perhaps a push and prod or two are prompting you to reach out. Habitual modes of perception and interpretation are changing and rather quickly as a consequence. This presents a challenge to see yourself and the world and in the world in new ways. The more flexible and willing you are the easier it will be.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The emphasis now is upon improvement. Since these are core Virgo characteristics, the tasks implied should feel quite familiar. While the focus may well be upon work, health and lifestyle; your closest personal relationships and home and family probably also require your deepened determination to be and do better yet.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

A creative, inventive and innovative cycle continues. Entertaining yourself and others with new perspectives and possibilities is implied. Themes of healing are also woven into the plot and these are linked to the body/mind matrix. This holistic approach to health emphasizes the convergence of body, mind/attitude, emotion/balance and overall energy flow. Aim for synthesis to get your mojo going.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

A good deal of shifting and shaking and stimulating and awakening is keeping you busy close to home. Beyond your residence consider that home is where your heart is, literally. This is a call to weave imagination and inspiration to create an atmosphere of peace and calm and sacred intent. You are being invited to a union of hearts and a communion of souls.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Rare and penetrating insights are igniting your mind. These may even be the inspiration of profound perceptions illumined by poetic verse. Yet, they are also causing you to dig deeper and to clear away old, limiting, perhaps inherited and/or socially conditioned beliefs and self-concepts. Beyond the debris and dust that this process may produce, sublime beauty awaits your recognition. Some call it soul.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Some investments are certainly better than others. While at other times the value and reward comes from clearing the clutter and closing old accounts, as in ‘less is more.’ With less ‘busyness’ you can devote more time to what truly feels important. This is a call to cultivate new commitments worthy of your time and testimony to your spirit seeking genuine balance, harmony and intimacy.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

An atmosphere of new beginnings both within you and in your world should be apparent by now. The time is right to see through and beyond familiar perspectives. Exploring new opportunities and trying new angles is implied. This is also a call to invest more time and energy into your personal life. Aim to deepen bonds with the one(s) you love.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

An inner awakening is underway. Beyond simple dreams, this impulse is destined to awaken you to realities in the material realm. Yet, it is also moving you to expressions of love and kindness and healing too. While these will likely be directed to others, they are also meant to include you. Although perhaps difficult, a spiritual initiation is taking place within and for you.
