Lunar Notes

Lunar Notes

Aries: The roller coaster ride continues as you try to maintain your equilibrium. Around the First Quarter Moon phase on the 24th, it pays for you to be wary. Avoid sudden, impulsive moves. That may be hard to do as someone or something pushes your buttons, touching upon some deep-rooted, unconscious stuff. Count to 50 first.

Taurus: Conversation shifts from the general to the personal around the 23rd and you begin to reassess and reevaluate what is important to you. Those personal conversations get serious. You may need to consult an authority to get the straight scoop. A friend, while spiritually there for you, is not very grounded or practical.

Gemini: Emotions get the better of you when dealing with finance and budget issues. As the Moon waxes and the Sun moves into fiery Leo, you settle down and begin to use and rely on your intellect. Life gets busy as well. New ideas, new people and new activities broaden your outlook and open you up to the wider world.

Cancer: You’re making changes — some small, some big. Some folks may not even notice, but you are changing as you begin the process of examination and evaluation of your personal value system. This may take a while; no need to rush it. Conversation becomes spirited. Don’t back down. Express yourself and say what needs to be said.

Leo: The inner search has revealed to you how your actions don’t often bring the results that you had hoped for. Sometimes folks simply don’t know where you are coming from. A conversation needs to take place. You need to talk about what is important to you. This may require allowing others to see beneath the mask you wear.

Virgo: Prepare yourself for a big shift in the energy around you. Soon your world will open up, bringing new people, new ideas and a wider view point. Before this happens you need to clear out the cobwebs in your mind and spirit. This requires some serious thinking and some serious conversation. You know what is good for you.

Libra: It’s time for you to shine. People take notice of you and you receive the recognition you deserve. Although an increase in income helps the financial picture, it is necessary to adhere to a strict budget. Be sure to include your social activities in that budget because you’re on everyone’s invitation list. Enjoy and make useful connections.

Scorpio: Scorpio is taking care of business. Do it now and avoid money problems down the line. You’re in the spotlight and your world is opening up. You may have some problem juggling the personal and public aspects of your life. Try and maintain a balance between the two. The promise of extra income may hit a snag. Be patient.

Sagittarius: Sagittarius is clearing the decks, preparing for a new phase in life. A deep probe into your inner workings has revealed some profound information about yourself. You are now getting rid of any and all that does not serve you. Your world has opened up and you will soon reap the rewards of some favorable recognition.

Capricorn: Some folks in your life challenge the cool Capricorn façade and ignite your passion. Could be physical passion, passion for a way of life or passion for a long-held dream. Long-held ideals and values are questioned and reevaluated. Your circle of friends prove valuable as a sounding board and source of advice.

Aquarius: Figuring out ways to streamline your daily routines requires some effort on your part. You’ve got lots of energy now and it is a good time to start exercising and improve your diet. Midway through this period, your focus shifts from the self to an awareness of others. Romance is a strong possibility. Take advantage. You shine now.

Pisces: You move from pleasurable pursuits with assorted significant others to a more solitary, contemplative mood. You put the fun aside to organize your space and figure out what is healthy for you. Folks in your immediate environment are pleasant and helpful. Look for romance right under your nose. The answers are within.
