Horoscope for the week starting September 11, 2009

Tip of the Week:

Virgo is the sign most strongly associated with holistic health and healing. Holistic implies recognition of the synthesis of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual considerations in any approach to health. Fortunately, the holistic healing movement is alive and well and thriving. Some will say that it is still not enough, not even close. In a broad sense this includes environmentalism, ecology, recycling, hygiene, cleansing, cleanliness and purification. The quality or lack thereof of our lifestyle choices, habits and routines also come under the rulership or Virgo. Right vocation is a core feature of Virgo as well. Sadly, the world is still beset by just the opposite of the above mentioned list in many respects. Because modern civilization has effectively divorced itself from nature in many ways, the fruits of a holistic approach to life, living, health, the environment and so on are not taken into due consideration by the majority of people and  many of our political leaders in particular. Consequently, many crimes against the natural environment and the health and welfare of society are committed daily and many corrupt scandals continue to plague society everywhere. The other theme linked to Virgo is humility and genuine service and both seem to be sorely lacking from those in positions where it really counts.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Sincere desires to create more harmony and stimulate more passion in your close personal relationships may come with some surprising twists. You are destined to learn that in order to please others you have to be true to your feelings. Although not everyone may like your choices, at least you will be authentic. The path to deeper intimacy will lead you to dig deeper than usual. Take a playful and creative approach to fulfill your desires.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Amidst the harvest, this is a time of healing for many people. Healing basically means freeing blocked energy to flow freely again. For you this includes taking a creative approach. Looking into taking classes, courses, workshops or simply by taking a self-help approach by way of ‘how to…’ books or online searches is likely and ideal. Whether improving what you already have or trying something new, go for it. But look well before you commit.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Things are shaking in both your personal and professional and/or public life. You may feel a little lost and confused about what you want and need. You may have to make some sacrifices. Reaching out for support from others who you sense have the power and authority to make a difference is part of the plot. Impatience may be causing problems. Carefully consider the future consequences of your choices and make efforts to see a bigger picture.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

A busy time tending to many tasks and errands is likely now. Balancing duty with play requires extra attention. This includes assessing where and how to budget verses where and how to invest your time, money and energy. Unexpected turns coming from others may be an added source of stress. Pressure coming from outer sources and other power players are provoking an assertive response.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

Deciphering your priorities continues. This includes outlining or taking inventory of your assets and resources. Summoning the courage to take risks and assert a strategic focus is ideal yet you may also want to escape and avoid responsibility. Be open to constructive criticism from others before launching new initiatives. Be willing to entertain new angles and possibilities, yet avoid hasty choices.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

Taking new strides and leads is important to you now. The desire to push through and beyond both inner and outer barriers is likely. Proceeding with confidence may feel challenging, yet necessary if you are to advance. Lingering uncertainty and hesitation will give way to focus and action, but not right away. With your overall power potential on the rise, persevere even if it seems against the odds. Visualize your bright future.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Balancing a time of rest and retreat with a clear and strong focus upon daily duties and fulfillment of desires is a core theme now. Instability close to home is causing you to be more assertive in your career and public life. Quality time spent with close friends is a source of satisfaction and a means of releasing stress. Your overall tone is more serious than usual and this will continue. Rest now as you can as there will be new mountains to climb soon.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Taking initiatives to meet new people and make key connections is in the spotlight. This includes acknowledging your sense of individuality. Knowing better who you are and are not is part of the plot. On the other hand, learning to get out of your own way may be necessary. This includes reaching out to new people and experiences. Listening closely to others and to your own intuitive guidance will produce positive results.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The time has come to take a fresh look at your public and professional life. Are you successfully fulfilling dreams or are you dreaming of success? Both are valid yet the latter may require that you take a more practical approach. Meanwhile, artistic and cultural events are drawing your attention. Engage the energies and passions of others both for the sake of sheer entertainment and to realize your ambitions.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Curiosities and interests on a variety of fronts find you paying attention to the details. Assembling knowledge and facts to better gauge business prospects is on your mind. Reviewing your record of experience and achievements may feel important. You are probably wise to take things slow regarding commitments and other important decisions while Mercury is retrograde. Enjoy the journey of gathering facts and leads for now.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

Gaining a clear sense of the people you encounter over the next few weeks is extra important. You are in danger of seeing through rose coloured glasses. Desires to engage with significant others on equal ground are likely and you are able to see their gifts and beauty clearly. However, it is probably not a good time to make promises. Persevere with your research and studies. Clean, clear, organize and prepare.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Making extra efforts on relationship fronts is the call now. This trend will continue for a few weeks at least, perhaps several. You may have to dig a little deeper to feel as confident about things as you like. You will feel the urge to push harder than usual all the while. Rather than push others, direct your focus to push yourself at least as much. Focus to use this potentially frustrating energy pattern to establish a healthier daily rhythm.
