Aries 21 March – 19 April

The wrong information or misinterpreting the right information will lead you astray. This may be with legal matter, holiday plans, or news from abroad. Wait unit later in the month to sort your facts out.   Changes are closer than you think but don’t rush in. OK, you are an Aries so you will rush; but leave yourself room to move back.

Taurus 20 April – 20 May

Youthful action and learning about secrets are the themes this month. Will that mean you fight with kids when you realize what they are up too? Or will it mean you discover your inner child and have an adrenalin rushed adventure? Or anything in-between. Your choice! Lady luck will smile upon you in the work place so look for the  opportunity offered.

Gemini 21 May – 21 June

People can be so indecisive. Go with the flow as there is nothing you can do to speed things up. They will make up their mind in their own sweet time. Although I bet they say you are the one causing the confusion. And with a Lunar Eclipse in Gemini, they could be right. It will help if you let something go. What, I don’t know, but you will.

Cancer 23 June – 22 July

Work and responsibility does make the world go around. Someone has to do it, and this month it’s your turn. Even if you don’t know what to do, or if it’s right. As long as you are “doing” something you will be happier. Keep your head down and stay away from situations that involve angry words. Nothing will be gained by becoming involved.  

Leo 23 July – 22 Aug

Money and the lack of it bother you. You want to spend impulsively and feel that something delightful, perhaps a holiday, an overseas trip, or a new love is in the wind. But you worry about the resources you need to make it happen. Take a deep breath, make a wish and dream big; and you may find somebody that will help make it happen.

Virgo 23 Aug – 22 Sep

With Mars in your sign being activated the energy is all go go go. Yes, it’s scary; and you will not see the eventual outcome, but why wait. Say yes to everything and grab the moment. This may involve a change in the work place or a new role to be accepted.  Later in the month allow your creativity to have full expression.

Libra 23 Sep – 23 Oct

Your motto this month is act in haste; repent at leisure! What is likely is that you will make rash decisions that lead to mistakes and you have nobody to blame but yourself. It’s easy to correct this problem; simply act at leisure and with due thought to the consequences while taking advice. So until later in the month; go slowly.

Scorpio 24 Oct – 21 Nov

You will need to accept that keeping your eyes on your dreams will cost you money. But so what. What’s wrong with a dream house or a dream job or a dream holiday. Dreams are important. All you have to do is be better with money, so spend less, or sell what you don’t need anymore. And it’s VIP to share these ideas with your partner.

Sagittarius 22 Nov – 21 Dec

Until the middle of the month it frustrating as you seem to be going backwards, or even feel restrained. But it’s perfect for going over plans and double checking everything. Soon you will feel the moment that it’s time to move ahead again. Loved ones and partners need to focus on themselves and may be confused, so it’s a good idea to be supportive. 

Capricorn 22 Dec – 19 Jan

Peace and quiet. Ah wouldn’t it be perfect. But instead you ask yourself if it is attainable? So in all the rush and bother of life I suggest you find a special place and a spare moment to find some. Even ten minutes each day will do it. All you have to do is do nothing; only breathe. Just breathe. The keep doing what must be done. 

Aquarius 20 Jan – 18 Feb

Offers of adventure, emotionally charged social occasions, or restless young people in your life will all be major themes this month. And you know you need to let this all happen. It will mean changes for you when Venus enters your sign bringing attention to you. So use it, and have that adventure, be restless and express yourself and keep on practicing your X factor smile.

Pisces 19 Feb – 20 March

Does everyone seem to be either energetic or angry? If I were you I’d prefer them to be energetic; so encourage anything that uses energy! Your work life, or the roles you perform, will be “interesting”. Which means anything from overt tension to lots of new information and later in the month; new opportunities. Emotions with family members will be running high, so be a calming force.

What’s that in the sky?

For all you night owls

Lucky us! Venus and Jupiter are both visible. But you have to be quick for Venus as she is following the Sun and will be setting in the west in the early evening after dark. A beautiful crescent Moon will be next to Venus on the 27^th Dec.

Jupiter will high overhead all month and next to the Moon on the 6^th and 7^th December.

Look half way down to the eastern horizon to see the cluster off stars called the Pleiades, otherwise known as the Seven Sisters, in the shoulder of Taurus the bull. The brightest single star close by is Aldebaran in the eye of the bull.

For all you early birds

Mars and Saturn are visible but are hard to find. Let the Moon be your guide as on the 17^th and 18^th she will be close to reddish colored Mars and the closest bright star is Regulus in the heart of Lion.

And on the 20^th and 21^st the Moon will be close to creamy colored Saturn and the closest bright star is Spica representing the fertile wheat in the hands of the Virgin.

If you look at Saturn with good binoculars you will see the bulge of the rings. Or even the view through a kid’s telescope will show you that there is a strange and amazing planet out there!

TIME ZONE  AEDT

“ A teacher effects eternity; he(she) can never tell where his/her influence stops” Henry Brooks Adams

Your animal is the Kangaroo – loves wide open spaces.

Thank you to the Sagittarius who teaches me without knowing it.

Capricorn

“The secret to success is constancy to purpose” Benjamin Disrali

Your animal is the Goanna – seriously ambitious to climb things!

Thank you and much love to the Capricorn that encouraged and yes, pushed me, to be the very best I could be.

A foreign encounter could cost you plenty. But that could mean a great holiday and the cost will be worth it. If a holiday or travelling is out of the question, learn something new and stretch your mind. For those that are creative, expect wonderful ideas; the rest may tend to daydream the month away. Any work issues will slowly improve and there may even be extra opportunities coming.

Taurus 20 April – 20 May

Any tensions at home will be carried over to your work, so be careful and keep your mind on the job or mistakes could happen. Being angry will not solve problems, only create them; so bid your time. You do need to investigate all your financial matters, especially shared assets. Check pay slips, chase down lost superannuation, and make sure anything you “share” is equal. Even housekeeping roles!

Gemini 21 May – 21 June

This is a great month for talking and connecting with others. I’ll even go so far to say that love is in the air! This is not a logical time, its communication at a more intuitive and understanding level. So don’t try and do your accounting. But please, reach out and explore your connections to others. Specal people may be about to change their mind, but they will likely return.

Cancer 23 June – 22 July

Time to pay attention to your body and to your health. Any problems can be resolved, even long-term ones. Help is available and may come from new sources of information. A delicate dance is needed as some information is right and some will prove to be wrong. This is a month where you could easily lose something of value or overspend, so hold tight to your purse or wallet.

Image via Wikipedia

Leo 23 July – 22 Aug

Many social occasions and fun are on the horizon. Meeting new people leads to new ideas. Beware those that ply fair words for their own gains. In other works; beware being conned. There is much to be done, and it does not help that your “get up and go” will soon have “got up and went”, so perhaps regulate how much energy you use, or simply take it easy.

Virgo 23 Aug – 22 Sep

Enjoy some quality time at home. Loved ones will want to come and visit and be nurtured. With Mars entering your sign later in the month your energy levels will rise. If you are not busy enough then you will be restless and easily annoyed, so use the energy supplied and achieve a physical job, perhaps around the house. Oh, I hope it will be more fun than just spring cleaning!

Libra 23 Sep – 23 Oct

You are a person that likes to connect with people and this month it will be talk, talk and more talk, until even you are worn out with talk. Beware that not all communication will go easily, as later in the month there could be confusion and misunderstandings. Also take care with important decisions, as you may need to change your mind.

Scorpio 24 Oct – 21 Nov

“Money makes the world go round”. Well it doesn’t! But this month you could be excused for thinking that way. All your thoughts are about finances, both the lack of, and the abundance. Money can easily come to you, and some will leave. Or it can be promised, and then some be taken, or given, away. Give thanks for what you have, and are about to receive.

Sagittarius 22 Nov – 21 Dec

Venus, the goddess of good fortune and love, enters your sign. People will notice you, so smile back and enjoy yourself. When you speak people will take notice. But if they can get confused – they will get confused. So explain yourself a couple of different ways and then you will see the light of understanding go on in their eyes. Later in the month you need to backtrack, revise or repeat.

Capricorn 22 Dec – 19 Jan

Peace and quiet is a luxury, but this month you need it so step out of the rat race and watch the chaos swirl around you; not through you. Imagine that you are a little back-eddy in a fast moving stream, and this is your change to rest. Seek places of sanctuary, or visit cathedrals built by man or built by nature. Also keep your wallet tightly closed.

Aquarius 20 Jan – 18 Feb

Other people are so energetic and full of vim, but you feeling are so lazy. Groups of like-minded people can inspire you and help you get up and go, but arguments could just as easily happen. Honour where you are at, and go with the flow. Which is easy to say, but hard to do. Nevertheless, this is a good month to think about your long term goals.

Pisces 19 Feb – 20 March

There can be a breakthrough on the work front this month. So look for opportunities as you are being recognized for what you do. It’s all about status and being able to gain some more. But internally you will not be able to get away with neglecting or abusing your body. You may be an armchair athlete or a marathon runner, but still take care of your body.

I will be speaking at the Star Camp – Astrologers in the Outback conference organised by the CIA Cosmic Intelligence Agency and then travelling around the great outback so you are getting a bumper issue of September and October.

Aries 21 March – 19 April

September

Confusion will reign supreme in any decisions with your health or with anybody you are paying to do any sort of work. You will be the last to know what’s happening.  To avoid issues, ask lots of questions and talk to as many people as possible for their opinion. In fact, you will be taking to lots of people, and reconnecting with others. Trust what they say.   

October

With the Full moon in your sign and the finance zones activated, it suggests that your emotions will be affected by everything to do with money and what you value. But lady luck is smiling upon you so please stop worrying as you have plenty and will manage.  There may be worries over young people/children and how their values are different to yours. A partner may find it difficult to say what they think.

Taurus 20 April – 20 May

September

A social time finishes and a time of responsibility starts.  Perhaps the party is over. If you have been a little too indulgent then by golly, you will get a chance to pay for it. Not with money, but with something more valuable; your time and energy.  Even your health will be in the spotlight. Just beware that you don’t take your annoyances out on those at home.

October

You have Jupiter the god of expansion coming into your sign, so you want something bigger and better. But is seems like the world does not yet share your ideas. Family and partners, even business ones, will see problems where you see possibilities. Venus, the goddess of love, enters your relationship zone promising new love and friendship possibilities. And she also helps you gradually gain support from the special people in your life.  

Gemini 21 May – 21 June

September

Your work life is at odds with what you want to be doing. Even if you don’t work, then it is the role in life you are known for. Is this role no longer real for you? Are you being true to yourself? Strong emotions will pass without having to change anything, but is this right? The person you will most likely argue with is you! Stop it and, “feel the fear; but do it anyway”

October

Communication and responsibility are the main themes for you this month. Sometimes you may feel like you are prevented from speaking or connecting with others. This only means that it’s time to slow down and take one step at a time.  Hurried words (or text) will only get you into trouble. You may even take on more duties than you really want to.  Think slowly and consider carefully before you agree.

Cancer 23 June – 22 July

September

You will need to make decisions, and they may be around travel or study plans. After initial indecision or worries, there will be no fuss and bother.  Other than the fact that you are seeking to know something more about life, and why should that be scary? Be prepared that a part of you just wants to keep things as they are; even if what you have desperately needs an overhaul.

October

What you let out of your sight may not be returned.  A quiet family is not necessarily good. And the quieter they are; the more risks they will take. To keep in the loop you need to ask a lot of questions. What are their needs? Are they having their unique needs met at the moment? It may seem to you as mere indulgence, but it’s important to them. 

Leo 23 July – 22 Aug

September

News about money or investments keeps your thoughts occupied until mid-month. Then its action time as Mars the god of self-assertion helps you stand up for what you believe in.  This is a time of advancement and achievement, but you could get tied down with self-destructive anger.  Take well-meant advice and if you want to move, study, or to travel, then now is the time to do it.

October

Active energy is flooding through you and is best to use it in your job or in a role you perform. Enthusiasm is wonderful; but take care you don’t take on more than you can handle. Decisions need careful thought, so take your time to weigh up the pros and cons. Travel plans can be realized, but you will likely be revisiting your old stomping grounds, or ancestral your home, rather than a new place.

Virgo 23 Aug – 22 Sep

September

Your ruling planet Mercury returns to your sign. Be honest with yourself as its time to reacquaint yourself with your goals and dreams. Venus the goddess of love is available to help. What are you waiting for? The stars give you permission, and you have the ability to stay poised and centered no matter what is before you.  Your finances are stressed and need careful management. 

October

Keep your eye on your budget or you will have trouble paying for recent indulgences.  This is a good month to make plans and come to good decisions. Sit down and devote some time to getting long term plans on paper.  If you need to learn something new, this is the perfect time to expand your brain with a course of study. 

Libra 23 Sep – 23 Oct

September

Ask and yea shall have; seek and yea shall find.  With Venus the goddess of love and luck entering your sign, followed by Mercury, the god of communication, anything that you want could happen.  Expect an easy flow of delightful connections, fantastic learning experiences, or a new love or friend. Anything hard, becomes easier. Then along comes the New Moon in Libra to enhance and nurture more positive energy. 

October

An inability to say what’s on your mind will cause your loved ones to try to push you into making declarations. Try and tell them this is a month for reflection and quiet contemplation.  There are opportunities for financial help, or for an unexpected flow to money to you. But it will not come with gambling, as you will deserve what you receive. 

Scorpio 24 Oct – 21 Nov

September

This is the month for facing up to consequences. What bad habits with diet or exercise do you have? What are you blind-spots? Take action or there will be tension. As yet you cannot change the outcome, but be patient. It will come soon.  Children or young people will take up time and energy. So find a place of peace and quiet to recover. Be wary of arguments at work.

October

Your ambitions and the time it takes to achieve them may upset those close to you, and loved ones may feel rejected. You start the month tongue-tied but good communication will become easier and a balance with what you want and what others want is achievable.  A New Moon in your sign suggests this is the perfect month to initiate plans and put them into action early next month.

Sagittarius 22 Nov – 21 Dec

September

Your role in the world and all the work you do is still being activated. But this may have bought up issues at home. Are you working too much or too hard? Do you take issues home with you?  Is all you think about being focused on the world outside your front gate? Your role will only get busier over the next few months. October

If you need to learn anything it will need active hands on hard work to achieve a positive outcome. So knuckle down with the instruction book and practice the art of stubbornness.  Some of you will give up because having a good time is very distracting. But be patient and the outcome is worth it. Enthusiasm is usually your strength, but this month it could get you into trouble.

Capricorn 22 Dec – 19 Jan

September

Movement is in the air! Or should I say; in the heavens! This is the month to move, travel, or to learn a new skill. You may do better than expected in any legal matters.  The authorities will think you are wonderful and will be smiling upon you, so success is likely to come your way.  So ask for some better conditions since now is the time to ask the world for what you want. 

October

Things change quickly so don’t expect any favors or luck with work this month. Or even in getting people to do what you want them to do. You actually need to take one step up and become the spokesman or a leader that “drives” others. You may not change the outcome, but at least you will feel good about yourself.  Then it’s time to reflect on your personal wishes and goals. What are you doing to achieve them? And What next?

Aquarius 20 Jan – 18 Feb

September

Tension over money and investments is on the cards this month. Somehow everything to do with value and worth becomes an emotional issue. And others will be prepared to argue with you. Don’t be caught napping. Delve deep and find out some hidden information, or maybe hidden resources; and be prepared. What are you worth to yourself? Be reassuringly expensive. Then take a well-earned break.

Feeling vulnerable or don’t know enough? All you really have to be is one step ahead of the others.  There are new opportunities regarding work, or the role you do. Enjoy your family and the desire to beautify your home environment. By the end of the month tension with a restless partner, or a close friend, occurs in regard to a working situation.

Pisces 19 Feb – 20 March

September

The Full Moon in Pisces leads to heightened emotions and sensitivity. At this time I wish it were all about you, but it’s not.  What others want, need and expect from you is all you will notice.  It’s a busy and complex time.  And you have your right to be sensitive.  But they will not see it that way. Go with the flow and enter deep water, knowing you can swim this sea!  

October

It will feel better when you express your concerns about a financial matter.  The important issue is to get good advice; but make sure it is “good”. Knowledge is power so do some research on you own.  It is a great time to study. Accept the offer of some travelling or the chance of a holiday. You deserve it! 

The Sun does move!

A lot of people do not realize that the Sun moves into the 12 signs of the zodiac on slightly different dates each year. If you are born close to the border of two signs then you are on the cusp and you are a blend of the two sun signs. The dates here are the 2011 Sun Ingress dates for Australia. Source is SolarFire.
