NEW MOON in VIRGO
This Forecast in effect
September 18 to October 4, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
There is a reawakening taking place in the world
right now. It involves social change and the battle between the forces of
past tradition and the forces of future change. Both are important and
necessary, yet each poses problems for the other. Right now, this drama is
also unfolding in your personal life, where you may be experiencing a
struggle between the drive to forge ahead with new ideas and inspired action
versus the urge to be cautious and not take unnecessary risks.
Alternatively, you might have a situation where the need to make changes
seems unavoidable, and yet circumstances seem to be standing in your way.
Or, you might be trying valiantly to create stability in your life that
seems chaotic, out of control, scattered, inconsistent or just plain weird.
However this is affecting you, you're probably finding that the more you try
to control the situation, the more you tend to swing between extremes. For
example, if you're trying to become more disciplined by forcing your nose
into the grindstone, your restless side probably becomes more reactive and
distractible. Or the more you try to break free of the past, the more
circumstances or discouragement seems to get in your way.
This is a time for becoming more aware of the
cautious, stable, conservative side of things. If circumstances seem to be
holding you back, maybe there's a message in that for you � not necessarily
telling you "don't go there," but perhaps saying "there's something about
what you're trying to change that you still need." If you are trying to
create stability in the face of chaos or change, this is a time when you may
find yourself blessed with the discipline, practicality and rational
perspective that you need to do just that � but remember that this is a
process that will need to be developed over time; it's unlikely to happen
quickly.
By focusing on what is holding you back or what
needs to be more grounded, you can start to minimize the reactive effect of
getting more of what you don't want. Why? Because when you pay more
attention to one side of the battle, it intensifies the other side. The more
you try to push away one side, the harder that side fights to win. The best
outcome is to be able to acknowledge and embrace both sides of the polarity,
and this is a time to start with one of those sides. If you're trying to
create change that breaks free of established ways of doing things, start by
looking at what those established ways do for you and what you might need to
keep. If you're trying to slow down or avoid change, take a look at how some
part of that change might actually be a good thing, and that by trying to
hold onto your current situation you might actually be interfering with a
necessary change in your life. These are just examples but you get the idea.
Do try to avoid making any final decisions until October � this is a time to
gather new awareness and perspective, not necessarily to take action. This
all helps you embrace a long-term process of transformation that unfolds
over the next few years. To gain more understanding of how this is affecting
your life and how to work with it (instead of it working you), a
personal astrology
reading is highly recommended.

FULL MOON in ARIES
This Forecast in effect
October 4 to 18, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
You might feel like you're being flung out of a
sling shot right now! In the
last few weeks, it may have seemed like you were spinning your wheels in the
mud or treading haltingly across rocky terrain. As frustrating or
discouraging as this might have been, struggling with obstacles or being
held back has probably had its advantages. Now the Universe is getting
itself ready for you to
gradually move forward again. You might feel rather impatient or impulsive,
itching to get moving, but remember that having to be patient and pace
yourself is not the same as being held back. Right now your job is to
carefully choose how and when to move forward using deliberate decisions
that take into account what you've learned in the last few weeks. Forward
progress is possible, but it's still best taken one step at a time.
Besides feeling a bit impatient or excited, you
may also feel quite inspired right now. In some way, you are being coaxed by
a Higher Power to move beyond your usual comfort zone and wake up to a
broader perspective of your life. This may require you to let go of your
automatic assumptions, beliefs and reactions in order to see a different
point of view. This might seem to fly in the face of everything you "know"
to be true or to contradict the plain facts as you "know" them.
However, what you think you "know" is being
challenged right now, so that you will broaden your awareness and start to
focus on a new knowledge beyond your usual horizons. Some of this will be
inspiring, healing and exciting, although you may not like all that you see.
There may be a difficult truth that must be faced which goes beyond mere
facts. Some of what you start to see may be challenges that don't have a
clear or satisfactory solution, yet which can transform you in important
ways merely through your experience of them and your ability to form a new
understanding of them. You are awakening to a greater cosmic awareness,
which will continue to unfold over the next few. Excitement is natural and
normal, although it will help to stay centered and patient and allow the
greater process to grow and develop within you in its own time. A
personal reading
can help you achieve and maintain the right balance.
