Tip of the week

The Full Moon in Scorpio on April 25 is a Lunar Eclipse. The New Moon in Taurus on May 9 is a Solar Eclipse and the other Solar Eclipse of the year occurs in Scorpio as well on November 3. It is an interesting synchronicity worth mentioning that Taurus and Scorpio, which are polar opposite signs, or the two sides of the same coin, both share close symbolic links by translation with the Chinese Snake, which is the year sign we are in now.

The earthy wisdom of the snake, which implies practicality and ambition, is the Taurus aspect and the skin shedding transformational aspect refers more to Scorpio. Pay close attention and you will see a good deal of both in added measure already underway everywhere! Generally, eclipses carry an added charge compared to the usual New and Full Moons. The degree of impact does depend upon the specifics of one’s actual Natal Chart and this requires close examination by an astrologer. This Full Moon occurs at 5 Scorpio 46.

It was once generally believed that eclipses brought bad luck. While it is true that they can certainly synchronize with significant changes, endings and new beginnings, these can in fact be positive ones. So, the next few weeks will prove very pivotal, certainly for some more than others but everyone will feel the impact at least indirectly. In fact, the changes implied often begin prior to the actual eclipse, even up to a several weeks prior. Astrology is a wonderful tool to more closely examine the effects and support people to be more aware of what is implied and how to consciously handle the changes.

P.S. Happy Earth Day – April 22.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

The Sun entering Taurus will add traction to your drive. Your ambitions have been increasing steadily. This trend will continue and very noticeably this week. All being well you have already initiated projects. If not, it may require extra enthusiasm and effort to build your momentum. Begin it now!

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

You are ready to take a pioneering approach. The desire to express your self in a variety of ways is likely. Despite a slow start to the season, you have likely already begun to sample the soil. You can expect your energy levels and ambitions to rise now and for the next several weeks. Commitment is the keyword.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Dreams of what might be are beginning to dance in your imagination once again. Yet, in order to receive the inspirations you may have to step back and out of the limelight for a while. If you have already retreated then allow yourself to remain there for a while longer. You can still keep your communications alive and dynamic from there.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

An impulse to build upon new and existing friendships is leading you to reach out. The best way might be to invite friends out to play. Since you are feeling extra inventive these days you should have access to an abundance of good ideas. These may even gain wider recognition. Trust you feelings and be willing to take risks.

Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)

Shifts and changes close to home are gaining your full attention. These are likely activating you in your public and/or professional life. The reverse scenario is also possible. This is activating visions of the future and creative directives. Use this influence to gain public attention and to request favours and earned rewards.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A purification process continues. It is likely that it is linked to your career. However, your love life stands to be affected, for better or worse. There is a deeper psychological theme at play, which speaks of purification and renewal. Now is a good time to initiate healthier rhythms for the sake of your love life and career.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

‘Love is in the air….’  Are you getting your share? If not, you are experiencing a rising determination to feel fulfilled in your most intimate relationships. The keys to your success includes seeing a bigger picture and increasing your exposure. Yet, be careful not to look for love in too many places and faces. Clarify what you need then list your wants.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Spring is in the air and it is becoming increasingly clear. For you the focus is mainly upon spring cleaning. It is important for your success to be willing to work hard and give more than usual. You may still be contending with conflicting desires. This extra effort may include some soul searching to decipher your priorities.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

The seasonal change is calling you out to play. Yet, there is a serious streak to it and it may not simply be all fun and games. A sporting and competitive tone is implied. Up until recently, the urge to remain behind the scenes was strong but that cycle is done. A spirit of adventure is rising beckoning you to ride with it.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

A whole new initiative is underway. You may have to exercise restraint not to paint blue war stripes on your face. You are laying a lot on the line and wish you could feel more confident. Even so, you are pushing to get to the bottom of things. You want to produce something of integrity and beauty.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

You are beginning to see the world as with new eyes. This includes your place within it. You are open to entertaining new prospects and possibilities. The timing is extra good to do so. Yes, you will likely have to gamble to succeed. That is the way the game is played. At least take the risk to trust your heart felt feelings about what you want and need.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A big momentum is steadily building. Whether by desire or necessity your ambition levels are rising. You are ready to enter new territory. Fortunately, your confidence levels are also rising and this trend will continue into 2014. Make good of this wave and do not take it for granted. Focus to build a momentum that extends years into the future.
