On the weekend you have a new moon in Sagittarius, which is great news for any projects you’re trying to get over the line or even new aspirations.
Whatever approach wasn’t working before can be undone and this give you a wonderful opportunity to go back to the drawing board and re-sell the idea. Why? You can literally reinvent yourself when you have a new moon in your sign and you’ll definitely have renewed vigor and commitment and you’ll be more believable. People will be looking at your more closely so if you haven’t been presenting yourself in the best light, you have an opportunity to rectify this. The most important thing is to be your true self and all will be well, as any lack of authenticity or truth will not do you any favors now.
A large number of Sags so desperately want to get their finances in order. This could be your job, investments, property deals whatever and wherever you have fiscal interests placed, you need to feel like you’ve got greater control than you currently have over these assets. Use whatever tools you have at your disposal to claw back that power so that you are on the front foot rather than the back foot. This is especially important now as Venus who rules money (as well) is in your house of self-undoing and a large percentage of you have been enmeshed with a convoluted and ongoing family drama that I have been talking about for months. Don’t worry, it IS all coming to an end but in I have little doubt that you’re playing The Message (Grandmaster Flash) over and over again – you know the one that goes “don’t push me cuz I’m close to the edge..”.
Chances are this week you get another setback when you realize that your latest “way out” is not quite that and has to go back to the drawing board. Instead of baulking at the news and/or fighting with those who are either paid to help you or are in your corner, try and maintain some reasonableness. Again as I mentioned above the key thing is to be authentic now, if you misrepresent the facts either by accident (or on purpose) you will create a divide that will be hard to restore.
Hold this thought, your life is getting better not worse (especially for those Sags not experiencing this fiscal nightmare) so there is no reason why you shouldn’t be feeling optimistic.
For those other Sags who are undertaking grand new ventures, especially regarding your home – moves, renovations – use the current Cosmic power to really push ahead with those projects, you are on a roll and will make great headway.
Boy oh boy it’s that time of the year! When you have reached your zenith, your most exalted self and can make the very best impression on just about everyone you meet – well at least for the next month. You are oozing confidence (even more than you usually possess) so go break a few rules and think “me, me, me” without the slightest degree of discomfort or guilt.
If there has been anything that has stalled in your life or this is THE time to get the ball rolling again. You’re like a snake oil salesman and snake charmer all rolled into one, so initiate new endeavors that you’ve been contemplating - or at the very least - eradicate stuff that has been weighing you down. (This is a perfect week to play pass the parcel!).
It’s like the yin and the yang of your emotions, they are complete polar opposites as to how you were feeling only a while back. You wallowed with a whole gamut of planets in your 12th house when your mind was like the Temple of Doom and paranoia all but set in.
Under these Cosmic rays even that sibling of yours that ceased talking to you eons back, and that parent who you disappointed so much, are phoning you to wish you Happy Birthday. A word of warning here though: beware of a peace offering, as it could be a Trojan horse. There could be a price to pay and you may have to oblige said bearer with something in return.
Perhaps it’s simply a matter of coming to terms with a situation or agreeing to someone else’s agenda, but if you can do that before the close of 2010 it will be to your advantage in the long run. Better still if you’re proactive about this, then you’ll not only be in control of your own destiny again, but you can turn the tide in your favor.
You’ve been playing a waiting game a bit like Cancer and Taurus and now that Jupiter has gotten a move on again, so too will everything that has been stalled or on hold in your world. You’ve been most anxious to get some action going in certain quarters but it’s been going nowhere fast.
Dare you feel optimistic and hopeful again?
Your inherent optimism has been dealt a bit of a blow of late, one too many projects; associations or dreams went belly-up so you’re a tad gun shy. (Now you know what the rest of the zodiac signs feel like most of the time!). Still now that you’ve got your mojo back you’d be mad not to use it and get it working for you.
Besides this is your birthday month (happy birthday!) so you should expect a few things to go your way n’est pas? Whenever something does work in your favor this week (in the area of deals and agreements), please don’t start questioning when the bottom is going to drop out. You do have a safety net now, and it’s going to ensure that you land on your feet (not on your knees as the Godfather would say!).
You’ve forgotten what it feels like to be the happy-go-lucky winner and wonder why you/they didn’t think about this idea (the one that’s made you so happy) before now.
It can also concern an investment/property of some magnitude and/or joint funds (yes those Sags that are still involved with that) but this week one or two of the main players will come to the party and it will all be sorted out to your satisfaction - and great relief. It may even be a bit like pass-the-parcel where you pass on the debt/problem to someone else! With your loved ones and/or immediate family rather than “agree to disagree” it will simply no longer be discussed.
All Sags have faced their moment of truth and some withdrew from life (so un-Sag) and others kept on going, like the sad clown with the smile plastered in place. But you remain the quintessential jack in the box and will keep on coming back until you have every outstanding issue in your life resolved once and for all.
“I don’t want to play in your yard, I don’t like you anymore” so warbled (sorry) Peggy Lee way back when and it should be your theme song at the moment. There are a number of persons(s)/groups/institutions/friends, relatives or neighbors whose very agenda seems to be to piss you off.
Are you sinking fast in quick sand? Well no, but the earth is moving under your feet. You can keep your ground for a while longer but it’s an inevitability that you’re going to have to deal with a pesky situation or an ongoing challenge at some time. For many of you it involves members of your immediate family and I’ve been harping on about your “pickle” for quite some time now. It seems BC, AD feel to it (before Chaos and after it’s Done). You have no option by to lay low, enjoy your life as best you can and wait until the final confrontation that won’t be here for another few weeks yet.
Even if this doesn’t apply to you there is indication subterfuge and manipulation going on behind the scenes (very Sun in Scorpio sort of activities) maybe at work or elsewhere in your dealings. It is highly recommended that you don’t even contemplate going down the same path, rather let go of the reins, give control up to someone else and demonstrate tolerance and diplomacy.
In the meantime you can hope that Mercury in Sagittarius turns you into a silver tongued Centaur and you can talk your way OUT of any situation or should I say rather INTO a situation. I feel as though you have been promised something or be given an assurance that all will be well and now someone is trying to renege on a previous agreement or understanding. Compromise and negotiation are key words for your best outcome I’ve mentioned that for a number of weeks. Don’t worry about this temporary lull. You’re just waiting for the next wind and then you’re off sailing ahead again in full flight very shortly.
Meanwhile don’t neglect your family, your birthday month is coming up and within 10 days you’ll be feeling enthusiastic, outgoing and friendly again. If you’re single at least you will be having some hot and heavy sexual exploits to divert you from the other shenanigans going on in your life. Careful though, apart from being very sexy, these could be high risk encounters and you could be exchanging one set of problems for another….keep it undercover!
“A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom so goes an old Chinese proverb. You’ve coveted something either tangible or esoteric – a possession, property, lifestyle, freedom, position…….and potentially crossed over some unspoken boundaries. Once you did however you set in motion a chain of actions that you’re dealing with this week.
From hereon in be as pragmatic and realistic as possible to reverse or at least unravel a situation that has become more convoluted than it needed to be. If you need to align yourself with someone in a key position to assist you do that, by all means do so. Chances are the person you align yourself with may be far removed from your own framework or belief system, but you do share corresponding objectives.
In fact you need someone to goad you now, you’re unusually reticent and unsure and rather antisocial. This might have something to do with the fact that you’re awash with thoughts, almost drowning in them and not all of them restful or pretty. It’s psychic garbage, piled up in that cranium of yours from years worth of emotional ordeals and hardly any have seen the light of day until now. Blame it on the Moon, Sun, Venus, Mercury in the 12th house but it will be a depressing time. Rather than dwell on who your secret enemies are, or get weighed down by psychological baggage, use this time productively to discover what this transit is trying to reveal to you and why you are having any relationship problems.
PS. The good news, it’s over soon and your birthday is coming up!
There is this matter of a shared financial deal or joint property investment that hangs around you and has done so for a long time and this week; a member of your family (or extended family) like a Knight in shining armor comes to the rescue with a financial solution.
If you haven’t got any “shared debts” (or similar) then a person who is close to you – again likely a family member or someone who seems like family, will introduce you to a fantastic investment or new business idea.
You have entrusted a decision or a direction to another (or others) to undertake on your behalf; or else you have decided on the appropriate way forward and they are acting on your behalf. There are no guarantees regarding outcomes, nothing is absolute and this makes you twitchy. Still you have little choice now but to entrust the Cosmos to deliver what is already well underway.
Mars is moving into Sagittarius, which on the one hand will make you more assertive, but on the other hand you will be positively immoveable over anything you don’t agree with. Try not to turn into a pugilist during the next few weeks, you will fight and push for what you want and if you don’t get your way, arguments and conflict can abound.
However if you play it smart and use the power of Mars to your benefit, you will have all the tools of charm, enthusiasm and just the right amount of determination to really further your causes.
You’ve done a lot of reflecting whilst Mars was in your 12th, plagued by all those dark hidden things that affect you psychologically so this newfound optimism and positively is very welcome.
You will be relying on the support of groups and partnerships rather than individuals - or you will rely on a partnership that includes you. It will not be beneficial for you at this time to be going solo, so make sure you are joined with others.
It refreshing that you have their support but just remember that what they want, you’ll have to want also!
No matter what is going wrong (or right) in your world you are undergoing a voyage of self discovery.
All Sags no matter what face they present to the outside world – and it is nearly always a positive and kind one – are feeling “introspective”. Why would you be doing that when on the surface life seems to be humming along and treating you well. There are a number of issues at play behind the scenes, and although they won’t be long lasting, they have caused you to take stock and reflect on some of your past actions.
First and foremost although you who are among the Zodiac’s friendliest of signs, you are feeling ignored by nearly all you hold dear or who hold some importance in your life. Is this your imagination or is it really happening? It’s really happening.
Secondly, there is every chance you went just that little bit too far with something and now that it’s been said or done, you’ve not exactly able to take it back now are you?
In a months time all this will be irrelevant as you will be in your birthday zone and feeling on top of the world, but that’s still a month away.
The only way forward is to be very savvy about how you communicate and what you say as you may literally be able to talk your way out of any problem! Learn from these uncertain times as it will help shape your moral fibre for the future. Whilst I don’t want you to cave into any feelings of fear, you can’t ignore the signals either as it will only exacerbate the problem.
Even though nothing appears to be going on, there is much happening away from view and you will see/hear about the first frisson of movement this week. Questions like who is backing who and where everyone sits will become much clearer over the next few weeks.
Keep an eye out in the interim as the full moon towards the end of this week might upset the apple cart even further. The truth will be spoken and whilst you are a great proponent of truth, this time around it might be painful for your ears.
How you handle the next few weeks does in an esoteric way, have a direct bearing on your future.
You are a good person, honest and straightforward and with a good value system in place. So where did the current ruminations spring from?
There have been decisions, choices and actions that you’ve made in recent (and not so recent times) that appear to have looped back into your future and are now giving you cause for contemplation and reflection. Some outcomes and developments have made you pause for thought along the lines of “is it them, or me?”
On the one hand you have to survive in this world and live your life on your terms. But there are also other considerations and people at play which are forcing you now to confront these very choices. It is entwined with money and you are experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety. With the current Cosmic planetary pattern you are being forced to confront any feelings of remorse, guilt and failings and identify where you could have let others down or sold out.
You went to great lengths to protect your own world (or your version of it) and then, voilà, all this was thrown into the blender and you’re yet to see what the result is.
Whilst there will be no ‘get out of jail free card’ or quick fix, there will be a resolution and one which will be a great relief to you. The Cosmos will come through and protect your interests as well as providing you with a window of opportunity to do the right thing.
Whether it is a financial or emotional issue, there will be new contracts (or new understandings), new partnerships and alliances ahead and even a previously un-thought of way through the maze.
You will be given the opportunity to heal some major rifts and undo (or repair) some ill advised actions or misinformation.
It’s spring in the southern hemisphere but no matter whether you are south or north, east or west you will be doing “spring cleaning” in some of your key relationships. This is quite unusual for you as there is no question that as a Sag you are among the friendliest of all the signs and kind to all.
But you are quite a sore loser if things don’t go your way and you have the mettle to “let go” when this is required ……and this is required. At the end of the day you are all about gaining the advantage and will switch loyalties if you see that you can get ahead by doing so.
You will be wiping some slates clean and starting again with one or two of your connections, but as you do, I urge you to stop and think why. Is it that they are not fitting into your life the way they used to (or should) or are you not fitting in with theirs? Are you being totally honest with your intentions and motivations or is simply your frustration at the status quo causing you to blame others for what’s not working? Is it a case of you being misunderstood or are you giving the wrong impression?
You are known for your honesty. Stick with that and you will see a marked turn of events and attitudes. No matter how tempting you must keep your nose squeaky clean. Do not under any circumstances be tempted by solutions that are not crystal clear or totally above board, particularly in any business or financial dealings or any agreements involving others.
Let’s take the “glass half full approach, that’s applicable because you’re a positive sign. The events of the past year have been good for you because they have reprogrammed your way of thinking about “the mob”. The “mob” could have been siblings and/or family, bureaucracy, business partners, corporations, legal entities but they have cause you quite some degree of angst.
Whether or not you’ve managed to extricate yourself entirely and (perhaps not so cleanly) from the fray, or whether a lot of crap is still pending, your mindset has definitely changed for the better.
You’re mentally and emotionally empowered now and won’t allow yourself to feel hemmed in or swamped by the demands of others. Their sway over you has all but dissipated (well it’s certainly dramatically diminished) and the way you are thinking now is no longer in accord with those folks who were yapping at your heels – not that they ever were really, but you had to play the game.
It’s been an enlightening passage and you’ve emerged with a greater self knowledge than you’ve gained in your whole life to date. It’s been a fast growing up - a crash course in the school of hard knocks and such a roller coaster ride that it has left you feeling confused and exposed.
What you have learnt in this mindset change is to let go. Where previously you tried to micro manage, now you are letting go of the reins of control and letting others set the agenda.
That’s not to say you will automatically follow suit, but you will retain your sanity in the process.
What a year it’s been. Surely with Thanksgiving and Christmas in sight an air of goodwill will begin to prevail and the Cosmos (or one of your demanding antagonists) will give you a break for a while. Well not this week unfortunately. Those same demanding folk are snapping at your heels pushing your buttons and testing your patience and ability to stay calm.
You usually don’t hold back on saying what you feel and are not known for your tact but this particular astrological climate is suggesting that you don’t act in your usual manner otherwise its fireworks time. You will not only run the risk of damaging an alliance but alienating those whom you currently bank on for support.
You are not in a position of strength now and even though you have taken a number of steps to remove yourself from the fray (resigned, moved, disengaged, lain low and mentally and emotionally distanced yourself for your own sanity and protection) you are still very much involved. Even though you declare like Groucho Marx that “you don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members” you are in fact dying to be accepted, belong and respected.
Whilst you “protesteth too much” there is still something that you wish to avoid acknowledging or seeing at all costs. Why? The reason is because if you really processed the reality of the situation it would probably turn your world upside down.
The Cosmos will continue to highlight this aspect of your life until you reflect and dig deep and once you arrive at this deeply personal epiphany it will change the way in which you perceive not only the current situation, but your life.
As the situation reaches boiling point this week, this is the opportune time to take the honorable (and right) path which will serve to clear the decks and help you begin to taking back your life. The truth will set you free.
Mars entered Scorpio yesterday stimulating your drive to succeed and to be recognised for your accomplishments. You will be pushing your own barrow now and whether it’s on the job front or within your domestic or personal life, you have an increased need for people to be aware of your contribution. Under this climate be careful of increased tension with authority figures and also keep a look out for hidden enemies. It would be wise and self protective to try and gauge moods and “read” people to give you the best handle on what is really going one, no matter what they might say.
The past year has been very frustrating for you, not the least where you’ve felt like you’ve had to meet people half way and co-operate when that was the very last thing you felt like doing at the time. You are not the zodiacs best self analyst; yet even though you find yourself in a position that is not exactly to your liking, you still find it difficult to rationalize exactly how you got there.
You haven’t perhaps intentionally allowed your personal preferences or self advancement to override your core values and ethics so let’s put it down to expediency rather than perfidy. But what is the joy of the Pyrrhic victory when all you wanted was to be able to enjoy your achievements, not have to spend your time defending them?
Worse, for a lot of Sag’s the spectre of having it all taken away (or at least a chunk of it) hangs heavily…
Until the end of November the Cosmos is insisting that you reflect on your past actions and dig deep into your psyche and analyze your hopes and aspirations (and more importantly) your subconscious needs.
It will not feel entirely comfortable and you may even get a little shaken (but not stirred)….and only then will you genuinely comprehend what steps need to be taken next.
The things that seemed omnipotent two years ago definitely have lost some of their appeal. If you were money driven for example, because of all the drama some Sags have been through in business and with their financial dealings, they turned to their family for support and now realize that in fact family is the most important thing to them now. In other instances it was family that was important but they became the source of all the drama causing some distance.
There is certainly movement and resolution this week (thank God) but in truth this is a process that began a while ago and will continue for another few months but whether or not you are steering the ship or someone else is at the helm is another matter entirely. It’s relatively unimportant so long as you put to bed any lingering issues and between now and early next year you have a superb chance of sorting out family dramas and finding the right solutions.
You have been under scrutiny over the past year or so whether for good or bad reasons. Certainly you did not enjoy the last year so whatever actions you took then hopefully you’ve learned some lessons in this regard and will never repeat them. It all about principles and ethics, are yours up to scratch or more importantly how do other people view them? Pluto is teaching you lessons about money and self worth and how to transform your values and put them back on track if this is required.
The fears you had about your assets and livelihood appear to have abated. You may be assessing the problem differently now than the way you did previously or via some welcome assistance from other sources (Sags usually fall on their feet, not their sword).
Whilst it is true that a few Sags have fallen on their own sword please do not compound the problem by seeking to wreak revenge on those who you feel are responsible because if you look deeply into the well you will see that in the main it is essentially your own undoing.
Are you among the wise Sags who have followed an honorable path or are you among the few who have slipped up? No-one is perfect in this life we are all vulnerable and susceptible to errors of judgment. Often we don’t even recognize that we are making a mistake until after the even when it is too late and then we either feel terrible because we did the wrong thing or we feel terrible because it costs us dearly (financially or emotionally).
That said, a very few of you keep on replaying the same modus operandi convinced that you are in the right and everyone else is in the wrong, no matter how loud the criticism. So especially for this latter group (and all Sags in general) please be very circumspect this week when a very similar set of either circumstances or even the same players appear on your horizon. Don’t make the mistake of feeling that you know exactly what to do or say, you don’t. Don’t push your case or try to direct the show, it will only weaken your cause and repel the very people you need onside and lessen their support of you. Try to approach the situation from either a different perspective or a different solution and not the same old inductive arguments.
There are a couple of women in your life who are going to cause quite a bit of havoc either behind the scenes or right in front of you. They could be in-laws, family, or professionals that you are dealing with but they are positively Machiavellian in their actions, either to each other (which thwarts you not aides your situation) or towards you.
I can however assure you that the unpleasant transit that you have endured is nearly over and with it will come a whole lot of new faces. Perhaps there is the discomfort of carrying over the old baggage into the new so you are keeping the two worlds separate and venturing into fresh territory or you are travelling more (or both).
By year’s end your fears and anxieties as to outcomes will be finally put to rest and you can move on with rebuilding your status and career if it needs rebuilding.
If you are one of the former Sags I mentioned at the start of the horoscope you are on an upward swing and in a couple of weeks and will enjoy career and social highs. In fact the next twelve months may be among the best you’ve had.
That nursery rhyme that goes “if you’ve been good you’ve been very, very good, but if you’ve been bad you’ve been horrid” pretty much sums up the Sag state of play.
Have you been living in fear of past deeds, embroiled in emotional and financial sagas or is all going swimmingly? Even if it’s the latter things are not going to be a breeze this week. There will be frustrations aplenty (blame it on Mercury) and unfortunately there is not a whole lot you can do about it rather than just being “aware”.
For the former Sags you literally have no idea what lies ahead for you so uncertain is playing field. There is a deep seated angst, either at yourself or (more likely) others and you do blame them for the pickle you find yourself in.
Still you’ve been in “situations” before and always come out relatively unscathed so you are not going to open the veins just yet. The reason you always manage to rise Phoenix-like from life’s adversities is that instead of letting the bastards get you down you retain your equilibrium and that in turn allows you to see the exit door.
When they talk about the luck of the Irish they should add the phrase “luck of the Sags”. Still there is such as thing as honor and integrity and you must embrace this now. Its pointless having a pyrrhic victory and you will gain far more respect and appreciation if you concede where you need to and focus on the preferred exit for all parties. Karma does affect everyone at some point (even lucky Teflon-coated Sags) so I urge you to be magnanimous and do the right thing and you’ll be amazed at how quickly things can fall into place. Not only that you can look yourself in the mirror and feel proud again.
Whatever you do, do not try to replicate past actions – that is what got you into trouble in the first place and the initial rush of besting someone does not translate into long-term pleasure. As Arthur Christopher Benson said "the worst sorrows in life are not in its losses and misfortunes, but its fears.
We all look to the future, but you seem to really be hanging out for it. Your hands remained tied in some way, I suspect finances or your inability to move forward in some area of your life. It’s been hanging around unresolved for a long time, you’ve learnt to live with it, but you long for the day that your life will be minus this restraint.
You are the confident daredevil of the Cosmos and in spite of having to lie low for a while because of circumstances you are chomping at the bit to throw caution to the wind and see where the cards fall. Before you do this though, I strongly urge you to be vigilant about resolving the limitations of your life now, before you gallop into the future and find yourself hitting a metaphorical brick wall.
Your chart says you need to retrace some steps before you can move forward and what that means is to mentally rewind back to before the issue that plagues you and try to recreate history. You have in mind a strategy not only for a way out but for the future but it is imperative that you show due consideration for how others might view the problem from a different perspective than perhaps you do.
Therefore try and garner all the support that you can, particularly those within your group or association that are also involved or your extended family members to aid you in your quest.
A lot of Sag’s aren’t entirely happy with their lot. This may have been from a fall-out from a financial entanglement that did not pan out in their favour, or the spectre of still unresolved financial ventures that appear to be going no-where or just plain disillusionment in life.
Especially if there are still unresolved issues you have a distinct sense that when this is all over you want to get out and live life more. It’s as if you have been put on hold for a very long time and the consequences of whatever actions have occurred definitely have left you feeling insecure. You feel the only way to really overcome the past is to move into an entirely different direction and you are experiencing quite an
uncomfortable internal wrangle as you figure out your future.
This is especially so if your financial entanglements are with family and/or friends as no matter what the outcome, those relationships will be impacted upon to some degree. You have already begun to sense it, the withdrawing or disquiet amongst them and you have to work out what it is that you can do to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
If on the other hand moving or disconnecting to this group or person(s) is not an option then you have to think long and hard about the dynamics and how they must be structured into the future to not only survive but function.
If the situation is still pending you are treading a fine line as to how you perform and all eyes are on you and frankly making judgments. Overconfidence is Sag’s Achilles heel and although the mood may appear relatively secure, if you put a foot wrong it will be more damaging than you can envisage.
You are the original team player, a great mixer and love being part of a group. But as I’ve mentioned in previous postings you’ve gotten yourself into all sorts of sticky situations within a group, one that most likely has financial implications.
There is every possibility that you will hit the roof this week over that very thing and your usual sunny disposition will not be apparent. When your money or possessions are under threat you will not be receptive to others suggestions in this regard. Do not react if you can and don’t commit yourself to anything until after this week passes.
How you handle this situation (and the group dynamic) will impact on you not just for now but for many months to come. Once the glass is broken you can’t put it back together again, so be very cautious about what you do or say and perhaps your old way of looking at this situation has passed its use by date. Are you being objective and if not, can someone else do that for you so you don’t end up in hot water. I say this because you have detected a certain “mood” towards you which indicates that others are not in agreement with your stance.
There is the need for a definite resolution this week to this lingering matter – it’s not one you can defer any longer and it does impact on your financial resources.
As unsettling as this is, remember you more than any sign has the ability to bounce back from adversity. If you have family they are still a source of joy, if you are single there is still fun and games to be had and there will always be things to look forward to, it’s your continued existence that will always remain the most important thing. What’s a few hurdles along the way.
You stand on a distant shore. Why? Because of the major hurdles that you confronted this year (and it’s only halfway through!) that have caused you so much stress and sleepless nights worrying about ending up in the poor house.
No-one would have an inkling looking at you, you remain outwardly optimistic and carefree but there have been some pretty testing moments that you’ve managed to almost sidestep one way or another. Nothing holds a Sag down for long it’s true and what can wipe out another sign for decades merely washes over you, such is your powers of recuperation.
Admittedly there are some folk that you have alienated through the process and this probably more than anything is bothering you at the moment. Siblings, family issues, work colleagues, business partners, social associates – definitely some relationships here have cooled which does concern you. Depending on the closeness of the network it may be impossible to walk away from certain situations and not attempt to resolve it otherwise you will be left out in the cold. Your biggest mistake would be denial so I urge you to attend to any unresolved issues pronto as you are on bad terms with at least one associate.
Give a lot of thought as to whether this association (s) has any real meaning to you and if it has a long term role in your future. This is especially pertinent for any festering sibling issues – do you really want to remain estranged forever?
I’ve just handed you a “get out of jail free” card. You’ve been incarcerated mentally for at least the past year or two as you battled aggressors on seemingly every front. There was a least one, maybe two dissident entities who have set out to make your career, financial and/or business dealings hell. You swung from being terrified you’d lose it all one minute to being ordered around by the “powers that be” - authority figures who have basically kept you under the thumb and controlled most of your moves.
You have certainly been under pressure from all sides and at the mercy of some who seemed to have the power to determine your financial fate. How many times have you had to grin and bear it, whilst you ground your teeth dealing with the intolerable – and that could represent anyone within your financial sphere over the past 1-2 years.
For a long time you refused to acknowledge that there was even a problem but finally you had to bite the bullet and make some concessions, albeit reluctantly
just to get them off your back.
Good news is that you are returning to a situation of clarity. The restraints are falling away and you feel liberated. You’ve been so paralyzed for so long that you are not too sure of your next steps but if your renewed sense of optimism and hope is anything to go by, you are close to being your own person again.
Whilst you are a bit gun shy about joining in with the masses straight away – the last lot were not much fun – you are up to stretching your wings and seeing where it takes you. When you get feisty again after such a hiatus you are going to shock a few folk and put some noses out of joint. You’ll certainly be challenging their opinions and asking questions whereas previously you have stayed quiet.
Just one word of caution. Make sure your new “devil may care” attitude comes after all your i’s have been dotted and t’s crossed just in case…..
You’ve got to do the best you can this week as there is a lot at stake and if you don’t handle it correctly there is potentially quite a big price to pay.
This unstable situation will only last for a week or two more and in reality the sooner you find a resolution the faster it will be put to bed. Major and deep discussion will help you to see the problem taken as a whole – right now you run the risk of not seeing the wood for the trees – and even if you are disinclined to make concessions you are obligated to put some things right in both your own financial back door and through your associations with others.
I do feel that you will be in the spotlight this week and in fact be the central character in whatever is playing out in your life. You will be the one stepping up to the plate and directing the show as much as you can - although it’s true until now you haven’t had much control at all – but you will have a support network to assist you through the process. You’ve been ducking and weaving and attempting to hold off confronting your concerns, but you actually don’t have a choice anymore.
By the end of this week you will finally be in a position to no longer have to be held responsible (or liable) for each and every thing that is going wrong (or has gone wrong). You’ve had to stomach living under a cloud of bureaucracy, where others held the authority and you’ve just had to buckle under and kowtow to the powers that be. It’s just the way it is (and because of the circumstances) but you are about to receive the “get out of jail free” (well maybe not exactly free) card.
That will be an enormous relief from the ongoing stress that you’ve experienced over your finances and business interactions with others and you can get on with the job of living and enjoying life again. However you will have to be part of a cast or hopefully even a team player this week and it’s very important that you remain flexible and cooperative.
You have in fact been almost terrified of this moment, so unsure are you of the result, but you have no alternative any more but to bite the bullet and wear the outcome and you won’t be as disadvantaged as much as you have feared.
Please don’t shoot yourself in the foot when you’re almost there by doing anything rash or untoward – much as you’d love to!
This will be an irksome and tedious week. Why? Because you are reduced to dealing with the very people you have little or no time or respect for but have to deal with anyway because they hold the influence and are “in control”.
It wouldn’t take much (more) of a push to tell them all to take a flying leap and packing up and heading off into the sunset – you do so like to travel. At the very least you would like to dispense with the “games” and to use SB’s line “tell it like it is”. A few home truths wouldn’t go astray and you are so frank in your observations.
But, it is what it is and you have no alternative but to bite the bullet, keep quiet and liaise.
Negotiations, discussions, concessions and deals – they are all on the table this week. Play fair and be flexible, you don’t really have a choice in the matter if you are going to be a team player. On a wider scale if you don’t “play ball” now it will have long term ramifications, you are either in this life or out of it, and being a social connecter as you are, you definitely don’t want to be on the “outer” now do you?
You just want to put this matter behind you and move on with your life and get back to the important things, the things that really count like your family. Still, it was you who place the emphasis on the “money” thing initially which is part of the cause and effect at play here. If we delve deeper into the truth you really do want as big a slice of the pie as you can, don’t you - if only because you recognise that money is essential to the machine that is called life. But as I said in this month’s posting, cooperation is the key to getting the best deal for yourself now and releasing yourself once and for all from this ever expanding vortex.
Unfortunately this week is a wake up call. You will get a reality check that will show you very clearly how much say you really do (or don’t have) in the overall scheme of things.
Can you identify which one of the players got you to this place and indeed has always gotten you to where you never really wanted to go….
You’re being told (or at least led to believe) by those in whom you have placed your trust that the end is in sight of a particularly worrying and stressful matter. It’s most likely in the realm of your workplace and/or finances - although I believe you have also had a fairly big fallout somewhere along the way within your domestic/family sphere as well – it could be tied together in some way.
Ever the optimist it’s almost impossible to hold you down or suppress your spirits for too long and you’ve managed quite successfully to carry on regardless of what has transpired to date.
That is not to say however that you won’t experience the odd pang now and then - after all blood is thicker than water. When there are separations for whatever reasons it causes some degree of sadness but it won’t be sufficient to stop you in your tracks or keep from feeling positive for too long.
If however it relates to money, that is an entirely different kettle of fish – you do fret about money and although you rationalize that there is more to life than money, it does make your world go around and lately its taken on a whole greater meaning than usual.
Are you at risk in this area perhaps? Maybe, but why begin to worry now? – After all you have managed to get yourself out of countless scrapes each and every time, so why not again if your luck holds out. At any rate, this transit is passing and by the end of July the situation will be a lot clearer. In the interim you do have options and courses of action that you can employ, you don’t need to just accept the status quo. Speak up and point out the areas of failure if they exist, expose those who are in self protection mode and peel away fiction from fact. You usually tend to play it straight even if on this occasion the cards did initially fall your way allowing you certain “liberties”.
There are some lessons that you can take away from this period, namely acknowledging the role you played and your own accountability (really?) and who you placed your trust in. Did you choose wisely?
If not, you’ve learned from this exercise and the next time (as if!) you take a gamble or diverge from the rules it will be after a great deal of contemplation.
You are generally a very lucky sign and more importantly possess a “happy go lucky” disposition so that if and when anything doesn’t go your way, you can brush it off fairly quickly. This gives people the impression that your life is blessed - basically because you are rarely, if ever, downcast. You regard life as a learning curve and not in terms of positive or negative, merely a progression down a path of wisdom. This probably explains your amazingly ability to bounce back.
Resilience is your second name.
That doesn’t mean though that you won’t fret along the way about outcomes and especially if your own personal security is under fire - well that’s a different story altogether. You see money as a commodity of life, and as such merely a tool to further you down the path of progress. BUT when it may impact upon your very survival, then it’s at those times that you have to harness all your optimism and hold onto the hope that the future will be brighter.
You are mired in a certain situation or are carrying around a greater load than is comfortable and as a result do feel unusually (for you) aggrieved. What happened to the long, long time ago when the world was your oyster and you could essentially push the envelope to extremes and live to tell the tale? Don’t despair your good fortune has neither departed nor forgotten about you but it will come at you under a different guise.
You are in a passage where finances and your personal security hold a lot more weight and significance for you than they have for a long time and will require your focus and even a recalibrating of where you stand in the overall scheme of things.
There is much happening in the area of shared or jointly held finances and this situation is definitely causing you some tension and as a result you will not be your usual sunny self.
When the dust settles there may be a numeric loss to you but also a personal gain and this one you’ve got to work out all by yourself.
Did I mention the corpus callosum some weeks back? It’s the part that holds your left and right brain segments together and in your case it remains a good metaphor as you are continuing to live a “split life”. You are either split between your family and some work/finance issues or an interfamily or interoffice situation which has you sitting on two sides of a fence.
Alternatively you have lived one kind of life and now see that there is a whole other dimension out there that you have been missing out on or others expectations of you versus your own.
The “two sides” theme is omnipotent and all pervasive and there remains opposing camps within your sphere which you have to juggle in some respect.
You are eager to just ‘get on with life’ but the split loyalty issue or straddling some political fence and attempting to keep a foot in both agendas is sending you around the bend.
Hopefully you have an outlet to whom you can turn to for reassurance and support because your defenses are weakening by the day. Whilst I’m not saying you will throw in the towel at any moment, you are feeling the pressure and it’s not the smoothest ride you’ve even been on – although you’ve had a fair bit of practice over the past couple of years so you know how to cope.
Can you run away from it all? No. You have to bite the bullet and persevere - play hard ball if you must – you do so love fighting for a cause and its much better if it’s your own!
Firstly identify what is really important to you – there is a choice here. Secondly ask yourself if the steps you are taking are more a knee jerk reaction and reflective of your own hurt or for altruistic motives. Thirdly whilst you grapple with these pressing issues, please discover an outlet or diversion that you enjoy so that you can restore that freedom-loving, carefree and positive Sag persona.
There will be changes to your domestic scene and for the bulk of you long happy marrieds, things will remain constant and these changes will not be threatening.
However there will either be people moving in or out, a separation for the malcontents, a change of residence or a falling out with some family member. Any or all of the above will occur before the end of the year and your “home” or property will be come the focus in some way with more people convening there or a new family member arriving.
Meanwhile your ongoing struggle with “bureaucracy” or with a group of professionals, bureaucratic, social or otherwise – the folk who make the professional and/or any significant financial/social decisions in your life - remain.
As much as you try to disconnect mentally you can’t of course ignore them or sever yourself from the situation as frankly you probably need their support, whether you like to admit it or not.
There is no doubt in your mind that they seem hell bent on ignoring your wishes or needs but what are you to do (or can you do) other than go with the flow although truth be know you have HAD IT UP TO YOUR BACK TEETH and want to dispense with all and everything in your life that has a “must do” tone to it. Still don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You want to do want you want to do (natural n’est pas?) rather than what “they” tell you that you “should” or worse “must” do but you still need them.
Try to get this all in balance (you’ve had lots of practice for many months after all) and allow yourself the odd break from the binding and cloying rituals otherwise there is every chance you will rebel just at the wrong time which will NOT help the situation.
If this happens and you really let rip, there can and will be a “dynamic” result – which may tie in with the changes to your domestic scene…..
It’s a case of can you bite your tongue or can’t you.
It’s a good thing that you have 3 months of Mr. Fortune Good Luck on your side in your house of speculation and gambling because some of you are taking the biggest gamble of your life.
Others are just having loads of fun (and some are doing both!).
But underlying all of that is a sense of melancholy. There is a niggling regret for something lost, Paradise Lost? Has there has been a fundamental letting go of something or someone or a philosophy that you once held dear but no longer? Is it a group or family dynamic, long lost sibling or errant child? It can be any of those things and you’ve put on a brave face and gotten on with life but it’s not quite the same and never will be. Once the glass is broken it can never be put back together again without some cracks and perhaps part of your unspoken regret is that you wonder if you played a part in the changing of the guard.
Still you are a Sag after all and not much can deter you or squash your enthusiasm forever so you will push your own barrow and state your own case. It is imperative that you make your rationale clear to all and remove any distorted views that may prevail. You will do this by keeping your head and projecting a calm and consistent approach. In fact to be really honest you are quite prepared to be the chameleon if necessary and perform in whatever manner is required to ensure that your cause is advanced. There is little ambiguity about what is important to you and if you are a boarding school product, I wouldn’t be surprised if you attempted to reach out and snatch the focus of your longing with both hands.
You’ve been particularly annoyed with the prospect of having to resolve your duties towards one matter in particular when in reality you feel that life should be contributing towards your happy and rewarding existence rather than impeding it. Life is so unfair.
The big news this week is Uranus entering Aries on or around Friday (depending on where you live in the world) which has not occurred since 1927 - so it is highly unlikely that you will have experienced its impact on your 5th house previously.
I’ll address the full ramifications of that in the June monthly horoscopes but know that Uranus is the planet of abrupt and unexpected change and although this won’t become obvious to you straight away (I’ll explain why next month) the time for change in the way you deal with your creativity, personality and the way you have pleasure and fun is nigh.
Have you found your inner child yet? Do you know how to let your hair down and really have fun? What provides you with joy – both inner and outer?
Although Sags are outgoing, free spirited and fun, all of you have been somewhat curtailed of late, either by your own doing or by someone else’s. It has a lot to do with your finances - or lack of them – or probably more accurately your abject fear of losing it all.
All that is about to change and no matter where you are in life, its time throw yourself into something that makes you happy without pausing for the support or otherwise of others. You are going to self interpret the notion and meaning of LOVE, for you. What is it that allows you to feel truly loved?
Once you find this answer, there is the potential of some personal disturbances in your existing relationships because like a moth to a candle you will be lured away from what you now see as ideal. Uncomfortably you may find that you are attracted to what appears at first viewing to be unusual tastes or uncharacteristic needs and desires but this may well be just a step in your emancipation from a constrained upbringing or highly conservative sexual practices. In fact this might be just plain old good fun!
The same Uranian theme perpetuates which is a desire for greater freedom especially in your pleasure seeking self-expression. Nearly everything that gives you joy or pleasure is affected by this transit, who, when and why you are attracted to someone although those “someone’s” will change from your previous ideas of ideal – at any rate you will lean towards eccentric, arty types now.
A word of warning please be careful of speculating as this could bring about sudden losses but no matter what befalls you during this transit your ability to deal with it will be enhanced and good fortune and blessings will necessarily follow.
Keep on trucking. That’s the key. No matter what sideways hit you’ve received or tsunami swept shore that you find yourself beached on, keep on operating, breath in, breath out, one step at a time.
You have felt up against it, akin to a David and Goliath battle, or you against EVERYONE.
“Stuff it” you think, its time for you to just run with it and to hell with everyone - unhelpful lot that they are anyway. This expulsion of all your pent up angst puts you right into fight not flight mode and you’re all geared up to do just that.
You have your allegiances and support base that are backing and/or assisting your maneuvers and you’ve become very practical in what steps need to be taken, especially for your financial survival.
You have felt betrayed or at the very least let down tremendously and quite emotionally bereft as a result. Still the hurts are beginning to heal; after all why should you even be surprised much less hurt, its so typical of your inter family dynamics after all.
The powers that be, or those behind the scenes continue to reassure you that Humpty Dumpty can and will be put back together again with no loss to you, so whilst the risk remains not inconsiderable, it takes a back seat to the emotional ties that hold you in good stead in the interim.
Nothing is going to stop the feeling of uncertainly that hangs over your head like a pall but you can have a say in how you are feeling or how you can assist in making other people feel. That’s the up side of Sags, unbridled positivity and enthusiasm that no matter what dark clouds lie over-head, they can still keep looking for the silver lining. You have your secrets but you are keeping them to yourself because you are a self reliant soul and know that you can pretty much survive anything that life throws at you.
You have a unique ability to put aside the dross and the mounting liabilities and instead play with your kids, smell the roses and dance the light fantastic. You are financially stymied in some way and that continues to put the brake on certain areas of life, but for the rest, it’s (almost) as if you don’t have a care in the world…
Everybody is on your case. You are expected to keep “your head about you while everyone is losing there’s”…just like in “IF”.
There are constant demands and you are being given instructions, commands and orders until you are about to explode…until you realize that right now and for the foreseeable future you just don’t have a choice. Your every move is being watched and monitored and the politics of the whole situation – well, where do you start? You suspect that on occasion they may even want you to fail or wish you would just disappear!
Scarily, the situation in some Sag’s lives is such that they are even plotting revenge!
Your home life is not exactly a haven at present either so you keep on keeping on. Life is hectic to say the least with all the demands both in and outside your home.
The pace is frenzied and the demands unremitting but you can not only survive but handle it all with aplomb.
At least they have your attention and you’re not bored now are you? You’re a Sag you’ve ALWAYS got options ahead.
There remains some aspect of your life that your consider dispensable in fact you are dying to get rid of it, but you cannot. You are impelled to work with it, deal with it or continue to put up with it as there is truthfully little you can do about it. Why? It’s called economics and survival.
There is a bit of action in your home and emotional life and there are developments that are brewing in your private realm. What are the changes or potential changes in your family setup? Relocation could be in the pipeline or some other kind of restructuring of your domestic scene.
There is also a lot of activity happening “behind the scenes” with your emotions and you begin to assess and explore what drives you - and why - and what presses your buttons. It is no longer too painful an area to deal with and you are able to reconcile with the past in a much more positive and balanced way.
Ok, how much longer do I have to worry about the money thing you ask. Or the red tape? Why can’t I just live life and not be bothered by petty nuisances?
There continues to be a situation from which you can’t completely escape and it has been in place for some months. It has a bureaucratic element – taxation, immigration, finance or legal and it was caused by your carelessness, oversight or arrogance and most likely originated either last year or alternatively many years ago (e.g. at least 4 years).
Like Gemini, I continue to harangue you regarding this very issue as Pluto is transiting your 2nd house of money and personal assets and your concerns over money will become uppermost in your mind and with good reason.
Whilst it may be like going to the dentist and there is just the fear of discomfort, no matter what the outcome I do believe a reality check is on its way. This will serve to teach you to put less emphasis on material things and more on accumulating true wealth - that which is intangible and relates to the spirit.
If you are already an evolved Sag then the upcoming shock (equivalent to a Level 8 earthquake) will not rock your foundations at all.
You fret about where you are going and if you have enough funds to get there. No, it’s even more than that, you fret that with one false move you could lose it all.
You are feeling unusually pessimistic at the moment which is unusual for the normally upbeat Sag. If there are circumstances that could potentially have a huge impact on your pot of gold or retirement fund then please tread carefully.
The only advice I can give you is to try to assume charge over your affairs and steer the proceedings… but don’t push too hard and try to outmaneuver others (especially the wrong people) or the consequences could be dire. No grandstanding or power plays and remain flexible.
If you’ve been good you will reap the rewards, if you’ve been bad Pluto will provide you with a harsh lesson on the benefits of veracity.
If you do have to swallow a bitter pill you are not going to end up in the poor house (at least not forever!) as 2011 is one of the great career and money making years and the start of something big.
You are a free bird, there is no doubt about that and whilst you love to keep your options open (and just about always have a travel itch to scratch) some surprising things have an affect on you. Not the least the views of the public at large and depending on where you live “society”.
Whilst you definitely give these credence, please remember what is far more important to you are the choices and decisions you make that for yourself, your other half (s) and people who matter to you.
When everything comes out in the wash, the people who matter should be uppermost in your mind however you live your life and whatever decisions you take. What happens to you happens to them and so on. This is important for you to consider now as you are contemplating doing something, or becoming engaged in some activity or going somewhere – any of which will have longer term consequences.
This one issue or decision appears to take precedence over everything else. It may be a concern or problem you have and how you deal with it will affect others also so give it lots of consideration. Happy Easter!
Admit it you’re feeling a bit frazzled. Or is that frantic? You have a LOT on your plate at the moment and your mind is akin to a can of worms worrying about each and every outcome.
You need self nurturing and you need to head home.
Lean on your family or friends for emotional support, you know what they say, a problem shared is a problem halved and the domestic sphere will provide peace, solitude and most importantly support.
You are in need of topping up emotionally and the world out there is fraught with obstacles.
If you have no family you’ve got to take off somewhere away from the fray or at least attempt to take it easy for a while or you will wear yourself into the ground.
Those hurdles are looking rather daunting from where you sit and they are not going to go away so you might as well take a break from them for a while. Indeed you could use this period to bolster some previously rocky family connections, you’ll be surprised how comforting that can be and at least you’ll get some wins on your plate.
Sags are happy go lucky, optimistic and carefree spirits. They are fun lovers who really just want to be free to travel.
This week though is not one that you will feel is ideal, but you will still manage to find some light in an otherwise dark situation. If you are feeling that things are a tad difficult, then spare a thought for all the non-Sags who are stressed to the max about the exact same thing.
This week home and family seem to be more demanding than normal and you certainly have very little time to spare for some reason or another. Something to do with your family or children are taking centre stage in your life and this will continue to become more and more important over the coming months.
Something from the past has been a concern, and remains so for others entwined with you but you are more focused on your need for freedom and trying to escape from it all.
You are a lucky sign so whatever drama that has swept through recently (or previously but the residue remains) you will come through unscathed as usual.
At any rate, you know what to do and it has something to do with putting things right within the family or personal arena.
It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us one family, our haven in a heartless world.
Everything to do with family, children and your parents are all emphasized. One or the other is creating pressure or added responsibility for you when all you really want to is sail off into the horizon.
Hidden issues probably related to the home and your domestic sphere are gnawing away at you. You are feeling a tad vulnerable and feel a frisson of irritation and have decided that some situations you are not prepared to run with any longer and are about to baulk. This is an ideal moment to lay down the law about your domestic situation, in- house “rules”, and family interactions and shared property commitments.
Jettison what doesn’t work and things will run more smoothly and with less friction. Families are complex arrangement at the best of times, but with some tweaking it can at least on the surface to be a functioning unit.
There is a continuing theme for some Sags to be feeling financially susceptible and to other Sags it’s about losing their position in the world. How you deal with this will vary from person to person but in your forthright and honest way most likely you’ll deal with the problem head on. There will be new opportunities presented to you this week that could introduce a key to even greater freedom (something which you relish) and that will become more evident later on in the year.
Who do you love that is causing you financial or legal grief? Many of the issues that you are experiencing now are a direct result of how you’ve handled things in the past and are tied up with someone with whom you have an emotional connection. Not to fret, this will start to clear shortly and/or you will get a second wind and feel ready to cut loose or really rock the boat.
You’ve gotten tired of putting your trust in an organisation or a group that whilst admirable at the time, in retrospect was a tad naive. Blindly maintaining the status quo as they continue to espouse how safe and sound and on track everything is has worn thin.
You have a yearning to do something different and this may take the form of many different guises depending on your particular situation.
It could mean that you are driven with an impulse to head off somewhere unknown whether for a quick fix, a long break or even permanently. It could also mean that you will be spending a lot of money on things or aimless pursuits just to amuse yourself and others; or again (depending on your circumstances) you will be ignoring your counterparts altogether and just “going for it”.
You feel as if you are in suspended animation waiting on others to pull the strings and are getting tired of playing the waiting game. This impediment to you getting on with things leaves you exasperated by the holdup but powerless to do anything about it.
Instead try to shift your focus onto domestic and family matters and shore up those allegiances that you may have let drift over time.
Whilst it’s entirely possible that certain aspects of your family dealings may have a degree of “notoriety” that you’d prefer that they didn’t, ignore the elephant in the room and try to have some fun if you can.
There is also the distinct possibility of a détente in one of your major relationships which has restored your dwindling faith in the inviolability of the family unit.
If you have any messages to impart, please be softer in all your communications – there are other interests besides your own.
Otherwise continue to reconnect with people or places you haven’t seen for a while and maybe even take a trip and get out of town.
How’s your home and family life? Is that still OK? Is it providing you with a certain level of peace and serenity from the mad, mad world? Good, because out there in the real world you are facing setbacks and hurdles you never imagined.
You are desperately looking for someone to direct you out of the quagmire but at the same time you no longer know how to feel about anyone or anything. You are secretly terrified that you’re about to lose everything you’ve strived so hard for all your life and that it’s all slipping away from you.
You need to change your mindset about who you think are the villains - it’s a matter of perspective - and if you try to relate to them on more amenable terms, this might even get you somewhere.
You are worried that your current strategy may not be the right one but you won’t know that until the end. The recent stumbling blocks have certainly demanded that you become more creative in your thinking and you continue to search for some sense of meaning to it all. Beware of asserting your views too forcefully and overreacting when they are questioned.
Whilst you long to get away and explore new places and live a peaceful life, you have to stay firm and deal with the undercurrents and general enmity that prevail. What is it that could be said that would irrevocably change everything..?
It’s very important at this stage in your life to make a distinction about the reality of a situation and your interpretation of it.It behooves you to address a situation no matter how hopeless and unrealistic that presently seems with a certain person as it’s your only way out.That and absolute honesty.You are meanwhile doing lots of thinking about “the issue” and discussing ways to achieve a positive outcome. Are you being naïve and hopeful?Meanwhile are things strained at home?
