Tip of the week

Last week’s Lunar Eclipse was the first of three eclipses. The next one on September 1 is a Solar Eclipse and is the pearl. The Lunar Eclipses on either side are like protectors, like sentinels. Yet, the Lunar Eclipse on September 16 will produce a culmination in this series. As a Full Moon, it is the culmination of the New Moon and this one carries an important message and theme of activation for our times.

As subtle as these events are and hardly the focus of most people’s thoughts and awareness, they are more important than it may seem. They together represent a time of healing and awakening on a global scale. This message has become old to some, but the urgency of the human condition remains.

The most important feature of it is the realization and re-awakening of the multi-dimensional reality of life, of which we are all an integral and intrinsic part. All we basically have to do is keep the flame of this realization ignited. To do this, direct your mind into your heart and acknowledge yourself as a soul incarnate. Do it and pass it on.

August 26 – Sept. 1

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Establishing a healthy new routine is on your mind. Since we are creatures of habit they might as well be good ones. Getting more down to earth, realistic and practical has been on your mind all year, even longer. The emphasis is extra strong now and includes preparing the ground for a major expansion of your social outreach.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Your creative leadership skills are on a steady rise. The emphasis now is on improvement. But you are also undergoing a steady flow of change. You may even wonder who you are today and how will you respond to situations. Not everyone like the notion that life lives us, but you would probably agree.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Sometimes push comes to shove and sometimes these assertions are coming from others. Standing your ground may feel extra important these days and there are indications that you are quite able to do so. Still, having to contend with such challenges can be upsetting. Accept them as features of your destiny now and focus so they make you stronger.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

If you could clone yourself you just might, considering there are so many demands on your time and attention. This hectic pace will continue for a while yet so pace yourselves. In some respects, you are at a pinnacle point, which usually means big success but big efforts too. Focus to stay the course.

Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)

Questions of money and earning and more and how are on your mind. How can you make it all work easier and still get satisfying returns? Decipher what you need and then clearing away what you merely want is one way. Call it cultivating a minimalist lifestyle. Exploring new directions and outlets for your creativity is the other way.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A pioneering spirit has awakened in you. It has actually been present for many months, but now especially you are determined to act upon it. All the while the challenge to face your fears has been present as well. This has and continues to include acknowledging your vulnerabilities, at least to those who know you well and doing so is part of this path.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

The urge to retreat and lay low for a while is strong now. Yet, this can manifest as an adventurous getaway. Exploring new places and faces can prove very healing and rejuvenating too. This can occur in the mind, as through books, or in the body. Contemplate, meditate, gestate or simply escape, whatever it takes to get some rest and rejuvenation.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Your ambitions have been steadily rising. What and who you know matters now. It may be that knowing yourself better is especially important. But reaching out to family, friends, and fans too, are likely. This may be one of those times when simply being one of the people, without distinction or individuality, will give you the most.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Your next great adventure has begun or is about to. Looking back, you have come through so much and it must feel as though you are in completely new territory. That is largely behind you now and you have been steadily getting stronger. Now it is time to act upon your new reserves of courage and fortitude.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Plumbing the depths and reaching for the stars continues. Questions, questions and more… are featured. Sometimes, simply asking a good question represents the best answer, as one eternally begets the other. But sometimes the answers are not forthcoming and all we have is wonder and when wonder becomes awe, it is wonderful.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Sometimes it is what is added that makes the thing stronger, like spirits. Other times it is what is removed that does the trick, like splinters. As wonderful as are the spirits, they can pale under the pain of the splinter and that becomes the priority. What must you remove so you can feel the spirit again?

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Reaching out to enrich yourself through your scope of connections is important now. This trend will become increasingly evident over the coming days and weeks. All the while, you have had inner work to do and it is not done yet. In fact, you have quite a bit more to do. Knowing that you have this work to do and how is almost as important as actually doing it?
