Tip of the Week:

Sagittarius is symbolic of the big picture. This includes the higher mind. Jupiter is the ruling planet and it is about expansiveness, risk and vision. In the spirit of Sagittarius, let’s expand our scope. On December 21, 2012 a 5125 year cycle (1/5 of a 25,625 year Precessional Cycle) ends, according to Mayan Cosmology. (Both Egypt and Sumer trace their origins to that 5125 years ago!)  From the Vedic tradition, we are just recently out of the Kali Yuga or Iron Age (about 2000 years in length) and the Bronze Age (about 4000 years) has begun. From the standpoint of dividing the Precessional Cycle in 12 equal divisions, the Age of Aquarius has dawned (1992-3). The World Wide Web is giving rise to a global village.  The world population is rapidly approaching 7 billion, perhaps a couple of years to go. Most countries in the world are in deep debt to banks, some in the trillions. Large conglomerates and corporations holding multi-national status are growing daily. Corruption is rampant. 1945 + 65 = 2010 – the first big wave of baby boomers has hit the shores in the Western world. BC premier Gordon Campbell has resigned. The spotlight on President Obama has dimmed. Bill 51, then 52, then C6 have morphed into C36 in its apparent claim to ‘protect consumers’. Sagittarius is also symbolic of faith and optimism….

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Your enthusiasm is high and your passions are deep. Anticipate that you desires will fuel your actions this week in a big way. In the big picture, new levels of power are rising in your world. Your main task is to be committed. Wisdom says, ‘nurture a long-term vision’. Intuitions and imaginations welling within are leading you to innovate. If this is not apparent, balance your chakras!

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Merging your skills, talents and resources with those of others continues. Perhaps you simply want from others what you do not have. Hiring for skills, requesting a loan, praying for guidance are all possibilities. You are not interested in superficial answers or exchanges of energy. Your willingness to make changes in your approach and attitude is ideal and may be necessary for greater success.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Dreams and visions of a healthier and happier future are running through your mind.  Some form of spiritual healing may be required to gain a clear picture or to feel the faith. Be willing to let go of how things once were and move on. The time has come to nurture some new dreams. Be willing to give fully and intend to gather the tools you need to succeed. Affirm your worth and work your magic.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

Health and healing is at the core of all religions. Basic spirituality includes self-nurture. This is an important theme now. Sometimes the tried and true no longer works or satisfies. The time has come to explore new ways. A change of attitude or location or employment or relationships or lifestyle in general is probably needed. Face fears and clear blocks preventing fulfillment in the love and passion department.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

Riding a creative wave is the call now. Your higher mind is being activated making you also want to soar to greater heights. A call to explore new territory has been sounded. If your imagination is not activated, make an effort to stimulate the possibilities. Cleaning and making repairs close to home with aims to beautify could do the trick. Create a space to nurture your creations.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

Some journeys lead further away than others and some go deeper. This is a good time of the year to go within. For you that might simply means paying closer attention to home and family. Quality time in your workshop or studio could match this energy pattern. Perhaps a good book will take where you need to go. An adventure on the wings of imagination is summoning you to explore.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are in the mood to cover a lot of bases now. Amidst outer errands and enjoying social opportunities, you may also want to get your affairs in order. Desires to achieve more now and in the New Year are simmering within. Getting clear with your plans has a decidedly practical tone. You are ready for something new. The seeds of this were already sewn in spring and summer. Make key contacts now.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

In addition to dreaming new dreams and making new plans, you may also feel the need to establish new foundations. This may have to do with how and perhaps where you live. Peeling away old layers should reveal fresh possibilities.  Call it ‘getting out of your own way’. Trust what was, accept what is, do the inner work and make all outer necessary preparations to take some leaps of faith.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Exploring new territory continues as a central them. This may well include other places, yet it could also imply new hobbies. We all have hidden talents. Perhaps it is new people you are meeting that are a source of excitement. Ideally you are at least beginning to get healthier. Review the quality of your lifestyle, choice of friends or your diet. Too much sweet, starch or spirit may require reconsideration.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Doing what you must and then taking some much needed time out in between is the call now. Just doing your own thing verses attending to your usual duties will prove satisfying. If you could find yourself somewhere else and warm, you might count yourself among the more fortunate. Rest and retreat now and affirm the value of leisure. At least pace yourself and slow down enough to hear your soul whispers.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

The time has come to create a new balance in your life. Adjustments in your usual rhythms, routine, attitude and approach may be necessary. Get ready to learn some new skills and perhaps gather new tools. Your social circle is set to expand, but you are still in the preliminary stages. Affirm your power potential and call upon all your inner reserves and resources; the flow is about to accelerate!

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

You have ascended to the next plateau. In order to rise to the next one yet, you may have to undergo some bigger changes still. These likely include more discipline. You may also have to take more risks. At deeper levels, it may be limiting beliefs and self-concepts that are holding you back. This is a good time to widen your scope. Looking back, what has worked and what has not? Looking forward, outline a clearer vision of what you want to achieve.
