Tip of the week

The synchronistic signs of the Age of Aquarius, the sign of computers and technological innovation in general, are everywhere.

Since the Zodiacal Ages are based on the actual constellations, even though the ‘Zodiac Signs’ in Western Astrology are linked to the annual seasonal round, we must look to them to determine the Age. The problem is that each of the 12 Zodiacal Constellations range in size. Aries is particularly small and Pisces is especially large and the list goes on. The mean average or archetypal division of the cycle renders 12 equal 30 degree segments.

From this perspective we are in the Age of Aquarius.

Now, based on this archetypal division of the ‘circle of life,’ or the ecliptic if you like, an Age consists of 2,160 years. On the understanding that we are now experiencing the ‘dawning of the Age of Aquarius,’ and if we are to extend this metaphor such that the Age equals one day, and if we determine that the mean average for sunrise for the year occurs at 6 a.m., then we can ascertain that it is now about 6:10 a.m., thus the ‘dawning’ and reference to the ‘wake-up.’

Principle in this awakening is the realization that our relationship with nature and our own human nature and thus with the environment is wounded and significantly out of balance. As a collective we casually commit crimes against nature every day and everywhere. This is where Astrology can help a lot. It reveals a conscious universe that operates with clear intent and purpose and the same message is woven into our Birth Charts.

I invite you to experience the depth and scope that I can provide thereby contributing to activating your self-awareness, confidence levels and personal power in general linked to practical strategies for life. In this way you can be that much more in-tune with yourself and our times.

Feb. 6 – 12

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Sweet dreams are floating in your mind. These are linked to achieving new depths of peace and harmony in your life generally and specifically in your closest relationships. Since the primary relationship is ever with our own body, mind, heart and soul, that is the place to focus first. But if ever there was a time to also aim to fully acknowledge the significant others in your life it is now.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

A review of your place in the world continues. While this likely includes career, it generally points to your overall social status in general. As confidences will rise and fall this may be one of those more challenging periods. Affirm that this too will pass yet focus to acknowledge all your successes to date. As well, seed dreams for the future keeping a runaway imagination in check and balance.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Finding your way through a thick stretch of woods is requiring more of your concentration than usual. At worst, you feel a little lost. In times like these it is neither reason nor intuition that will serve your purposes so much as instinct. Sometimes we need new tools, new training or knowledge, while at others the tried and true act of praying is the way to go, like perhaps now.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

A summons to gain a deeper and wider perspective has been sounded. In order to feel more secure, grounded and inspired too, a quest for fresh perspectives backed by enquiry and research is underway. Yet beyond the usual answers, you are moved to consider the larger implications. Among the answers you are finding is the realization that new modes and levels of cooperation are needed.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Your whole world continues to steadily expand. Yet with this also comes the growing determination to bring your dreams, visions and insights down to earth. The time has come to move away from idealization into realization. Jupiter in your sign signals the flow of synchronicity to produce inner inclinations and outer revelations pointing to risk and venture.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

“Every day in every way I am getting better, better and better.” Someone strongly influenced by Virgo probably coined this motto and the emphasis is strong for you now. The question is how, what to do, what are the best approaches…? The first part of the answer is subject to the kiss principle: keep it simple sweetheart. With that in place ask for more precise answers and you will receive.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

A creative awakening is underway. Invention and innovation are implied. That they are linked to means and methods of cultivating a healthier lifestyle is likely. With Neptune in your solar house of health it is important that you be extra vigilant by taking preventative measures. How can you boost your immune system and strengthen your constitution?

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

A process of deep sharing is a main focus now. Yet woven within this close and cozy feeling is the need also to perpetuate your own sense of individuality. This could be a tricky balancing act. The first key as ever is awareness. Like the particle within the wave you can acknowledge and even assert your uniqueness. However, right now it is more about the wave.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

The urge to reach beyond prior limits is growing with each new day. The question is: are you engaging consciously or reactively. When we are conscious we can be more intentional, deliberate, determined and focused. There still remains the value of deep cooperation within, to your destiny, as well as with outer realities. With these acknowledge you can fly like an arrow to your target.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

The urge to be super focused upon future objectives is guiding you. Due to where Mercury Retrograde is positioned in your solar chart you could overdo it and become obstinate, impatient and aggressive. These are the signs to ease off and a bit, yet still proceed. This is a call for temperance, wherein not too much or too little is more important to consider than usual.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

A whole series of pioneering initiatives should be apparent by now. You are determined to enter new territory, entertain new perspectives or at least place a few bets. The caution now is that you listen more to intuition than logic. Logic is great but when it is over emphasized the whole picture becomes narrow and rationalized. Step back to consider the bigger implications before you commit.

 

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

This is likely to be a time of awakening for you. Epiphanies and intuitions emerging from your subconscious and perhaps coming through as dreams are likely. Make extra efforts to capture as many of these as you can lest they flutter away as quickly as they arrived. The opportunity to introduce a new level and quality of creativity into your regular routine is available. Seize it!
