Tip of the week

Wow, there are some very big events unfolding right now in our locale of the cosmos.

Jupiter enters Libra on September 9 at 4:18 a.m. PDT. What is special about this day also is that it is the ninth day of the ninth month of a nine-year. Number nine… is all about completions, endings, graduations and preparations for the new cycle. Jupiter is all about justice, fairness, equality and balance. For some this could manifest as desires to even the score.

Also, the Solar Eclipse Moon arrives at the half way point, appearing as a perfect half moon at 4:49 a.m. also on September 9. The Moon’s aspect to the Sun is square when it comes to the first quarter. As is true of any two planets in square (90 degrees apart) a good deal of tension and conflict between our desires and emotions can be felt. The synchronicity factor will reveal this as well, outwardly. People sensitive to the moon tend to react strongest. This is your opportunity to watch and learn just how strong the influence of the Moon can be.

The Moon in close conjunction to Mars adds a lot of fuel to this already charged situation. This weekend stands to produce a powerful ignition and charge so be aware especially the evening of September 9 and perhaps Saturday as well.

In the bigger picture, the ingress of Jupiter, therefore, hosts this exact square of the Moon to the Sun. What this indicates is that this friction and tension will be a feature of Jupiter’s ingress. It can be described as a seed event, and therefore will be active in the background throughout Jupiter’s 13-month cycle.

Sept. 9 – 15

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

A balancing act between concentrating your focus and expanding your social outreach should be keeping you busy now. The social side is probably so inviting and exciting, that paying attention to the details could feel like a drag. Then again, if you can strike the balance you will feel extra grounded and charismatic too.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Work, work, give, give… this is a likely rhythm in your beat right now. You should also get used to it and get emotionally comfortable with it.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

The focus upon your health continues. How you achieve it and what kind of health you need to create depends on you. Maybe you need to go on an adventure and clear your mind and/or gain some inspiration. Perhaps it is a healthy new image you want to present to the world. However you do it, focus to strengthen your core.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The busy bee is getting busier with beautifying. Your home is your canvas. Creating a more secure and stable base is a beautiful thing too. Either way, your goal includes feeling better about yourself and more confident. Adventure is in the air too. If so, tuck it in now as this window will close again soon.

Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)

Investments of your time, energy and focus, continues. The energy part could include money. A steady learning curve is also indicated. An experiential, hands-on approach might prove best though. You will also very soon experience an increase demand on your time and attention. Expect a long, satisfying learning curve.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Initiative, increase and expansion are keywords for you now. Your finances could improve measurably over the coming months and even well into 2017. The increase could also touch upon creative abilities and your spiritual focus too. Yet, to succeed, you will have to acknowledge and confront your fears, squarely.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Sometimes we go far, at other wide and at others yet, deep. The deep end is at least activated. But you also feel the need to increase your outreach, to expand your horizons. This includes self-expression and is where the deep-end comes in. Focus to access your reserves beginning with your hidden reservoir of energy.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Pioneering explorations into unchartered territory are gaining your full attention. Delving into your own mind is featured. You may yearn to go on a trip, but not go anywhere geographically.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Some big events are happening in your world. Expansion is a key word. There is reason to say that something or someone is blowing your mind wide open. The good news is that there is something beautiful at play here. It may be described as kaleidoscopic. There is nothing linear and singular here; it may even be multi-dimensional.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Increase and expansion is going on everywhere these days and you are getting your share too. Some of it is due to other old stuff getting cleared. It may feel like you are melting at time. But if you are impatient and are trying to force things, to push the proverbial river, you may well undergo melt down. Plan now to go big later.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

You too are destined to dig deep now. This process has been underway for a couple of weeks already and will continue for a couple more. Yet, you are beginning to new a new light, a bright shining star in your sky. It will get brighter yet, especially later this month and in October. It may well be calling you out to venture far.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A steady increase on relationship fronts continues. Returns and rewards are featured. Yet, you will have to work for them, faithfully, diligently and creatively. If you can gain a lot from the process itself you will already be richly rewarded. In other words, there is much to do and it could even result in mastery.
