Happy New Year - The Right Timing

Happy New Year! A new Calendar Year starts and as we consider our New Year’s resolutions you may want to consider your emotional health, as much as your physical and material well-being. By all means start a membership at the gym, or save for that special occasion, but also take a moment to consider your most intimate life goals. Astrology is an ideal tool for timing personal events, ensuring that our material and physical structures match our inner truth, and for helping us to remain on track. As a result many decide that it is the New Year is an ideal time for a Birth Chart Reading.

As most know an accurate Horoscope reading requires accurate birth details – date, place and TIME of birth. So what happens when you do not know your TIME of Birth?
The first step is to exhaust all possibilities ­ ask a living relative, search for baby records, phone the hospital or phone the local library if your hospital has since closed. Many people are surprised to know that hospitals will provide a time of birth if requested. Some charge a small fee for the service and take two to three weeks to deliver the results. Nevertheless this is a vital service for those wanting an accurate Astrological reading.

If you still can’t discover your time of birth then you may like to partake in a special process called “Rectification”. This is a complex process undertaken by a professional Astrologer. During this process the Astrologer will ask you for a Calendar of Life Events, which include major life events, timed as closely as possible to a day. The astrologer will then undertake a complex procedure of matching dates to astrological events with the view to finding a time for you. Once you have a “Rectified” chart by a qualified astrologer then you are able to start your astrological journey.

The process is a demanding and rewarding one for the astrologer and costs can range. My own fee is AUD$160. If you are not ready to pay for this process it is still worthwhile to start your Calendar of Life Events. This can be a very therapeutic process and can be collated gently over a period of time i.e. as you think of something add it to the list, even if you don’t have the time to research the exact date. For more details, or a list of the types of events that are included in your Calendar of Life Events for the Rectification process, please email me at seeingwithstars@gmail.com

Your Stars December 2011

Aries

If you are an adventurous Aries then you are likely to enjoy the month of December because opportunities arise for you to broaden your horizons. This is not a month for pettiness, but rather you are being challenged to see the big picture.  Sudden news, or a chance encounter, may catapult you into a different modus operandi.  If you want to break free from dull routines, or people who bore you to tears, then now is your chance to journey into new territory. You may embark on a car, train or plane journey for a change of scenery.  Your self esteem is likely to increase as  a result of your experiences, and a windfall may also ensue. Make sure you do not overspend. Otherwise follow your dreams and be joyous! Seek joy in your own experiences and give others the freedom to follow their own bliss and you may surprise yourself.

Taurus

Eat, drink and be merry could be the catchcry for Taureans this month as the expansive planet Jupiter moves through your Zodiac Sign.  Ancient astrologers consider the planet Jupiter to be the most favourable spreading good fortune wherever its spreads its influence. Lucky you! This is your month for health, wealth and general good cheer. The only cautionary warning is to avoid overindulgence.  As your good fortune expands so too could your waistline and your debts. Show good Taurean sense rather than the darker tendency towards bovine greed. Maintain a healthy attitude and you can forge ahead on your own journey towards personal good fortune. Sidestep those who stand in your way, or try to rain on your parade. In particular a powerful woman, perhaps from another culture or a foreign land, is likely to challenge your sense of self. Ask yourself whether she, and some others in your life, have your best interests at heart or their own.  Wisdom will come when you need it.

Gemini

An Eclipse early this month heralds a change as it falls in your Zodiac Sign. It portends that it is time to give up something on personal level for the good of the whole.  This could be as simple as taking a backseat on a work project while others take the limelight, or it could mean a significant personal compromise that helps others. You will know. Once again the focus is on partnership.  Single Geminis are likely to be considering the notion of choosing a mate, while those already hitched are required to focus on their partner’s needs.  Adding up all of this month’s influences, a joint project could be more satisfying than striking out on your own during December. Your adaptable nature certainly gets put to the test.

Cancer

Just when you thought it was safe to nurture some of your own projects, once again you are required to reschedule and return to your natural modus operandi – taking care of others. In particular a significant other is likely to need your support. This could be a marital or business partner.  You do need to make sure that your partner is in genuine need, and not manipulating you to get your straying attention focused back on the partnership. It is also possible that a loved one or friend is demanding a little too much attention. Sometimes a person can inadvertently take the place of a partner, requiring much of our emotional energy.  If you are single then this person may be blocking your path to marital happiness. If you have a partner, then your significant other may feel that they do not have your total attention because of your newfound passion or hobby, or because you are busy taking care of someone else. It is time to reassess your options. What is the healthiest way forward for you? You are entitled to nurture your own interests, and to focus on your own values with the support of those closest to you. 

Leo

Sunny natured Leos may have been feeling a little unusually blah lately.  Your loved ones have required attention, may even have been somewhat unapproachable, and you have been feeling unappreciated perhaps? With or without your loved ones approval, this is your month to regain your own momentum.  It is time to discover the art of living in the moment.  Serendipity, spontaneity, enchantment and magic are just a few words that spring to mind.  Do any of these descriptive nouns feature in your life? If not then ask yourself why not? What has happened to your joie de vivre? Is it buried under a mountain of bills or responsibilities?  If so then it is time to face facts. Duties and responsibilities may be inescapable, but is the thought of these obligations more overwhelming than the action of facing them? Is it possible to have fun while also dealing with them? Or could you realistically take a little time out to escape through a fun-filled activity? Life may not be exactly what you envisaged this month but it can be fun, joyous and rewarding if you allow your exuberance to bubble back to the surface.

 Virgo

Lists are wonderful things. They help create order, priorities, strategies and all such manageable matters. This is your month to make lists, draw up plans and generally strategise. Where to next? The answer may be out of your control, but the ability to make plans is not.  “The best laid schemes of mice and men, Go often askew,” according to poet Robert Burns.  Nevertheless every diligent Virgo knows that plans need to be made and order needs to be created.  Fortunately this month sees the master strategist planet, Mars, in your Zodiac Sign. Hence you have the ability to make plans and carry them out.  You may be well advised on putting your own house in order before trying to influence anyone else. Home renovations, a move, or changes in your family may also require your attention.

Libra

December heralds a time when your diplomacy skills are likely to be required. You may be mediating matters at work, or in your home life. Either way you learn much through listening to those around you, and then mending bridges if required. You may choose to learn some new skills this month, or go on a short journey to recharge your batteries. It is also possible that sales, marketing, networking and other such interpersonal skills are to the forefront. If all gets too overwhelming you may benefit from a retreat with a good book, television program or DVD. You may also enjoy creating something – writing, painting, craftwork or photography.

Scorpio

Money matters demand your attention during the month of December.  If money is tight then you need to stick to a budget, or find a way to boost your income. Your focus is on feeling good about yourself and your skills and receiving a fair to generous income for your work.  Many people appreciate the Scorpio person for your incisive ideas, sharp organisational skills and managerial qualities. However, many also cringe when it comes to your sharp mind and tongue. This is not the month to speak your mind, but rather to hold your tongue. Diplomacy is called for if you want to move ahead and avoid battles and mind-games with others. A wealthy benefactor or friend may steer you in a new and rewarding direction.  The stars also favour single Scorpios.

Sagittarius

There is something refreshing about a Sagittarian birthday, a sense of out with the old and in with the new. You are likely to enjoy this year’s birthday whether you decide on a quiet celebration or a rowdy party.  Those born in November may have a slow start to the birthday year, but merriment soon takes over. Those born in December are likely to feel love, laughter and light-hearted taking hold as December unfolds. Communication is the key. Forget about personal grievances and lighten your own load. Who cares what mistakes others have made? You are an Archer focussed on the target ahead, not on some shadow in the forest behind.  An Eclipse affects your Zodiac Sign and portends well for all group undertakings. Therefore you are likely to enjoy lively discussions, fun-filled activities and youthful exuberance.  This month may also see you take the plunge for a complete make-over.  It is time to fill your metaphorical quiver with arrows and shoot for the stars!

Capricorn

“If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? ” This is a question asked by Stephen Levine, an American poet, author and teacher best known for his work on death and dying. It may seem a strange way to start a Sun Sign interpretation but you have a powerful planetary influence in the month of December and it needs to be said. You need to purge the old to make way for the new. This is particularly true when it comes to relationships. In particular love relationships or a bond with a powerful woman in your life (or perhaps both).  The Capricorn goat can be stubborn, refusing to admit mistakes. It is easy to think of domestic goats, but what about the mountain goats? You can climb to the heights but can you admit when you have gone too far? It is time to forgive yourself and to forgive others who may have hurt you, to ask for forgiveness where appropriate and to move on with your life.  December is the ideal time to transform your love life, and your finances.

Aquarius

Friendship is a key element of the month of December. It is time for you to spend time with loyal friends, to move away from those who don’t have your best interests at heart and to forge new bonds if applicable.  A cause close to your heart may call for a greater, or lesser, involvement. You may change roles in a club or group. On the other hand you may question your association with certain associates, groups and clubs.  It is time to find pleasure is all social interaction. Afterall why be involved in an activity that does not reflect your hopes, dreams and wishes. Your obligations in other areas of your life need to be enhanced by your social calendar, not drained.

Pisces

You may be dreaming of a change in direction in your life – perhaps a new career or marriage. It is also possible that you have recently undergone such a change.  During December you can consider further changes but it is important that you make positive changes that help you feel more connected with your own sense of joy, your friends and your loved ones. For this reason you may like to involve others in your decision making. What do they think are your best attributes? How do they think that you could best pursue your dreams? Of course the decision is ultimately your own, but fresh perspectives from loving friends can help you gain some clarity and further enhance your quality of life.

Your Stars - November 2011

Aries
The restraint that has been shown in the past month now pays dividends. This could be literally financial dividends from wise investments, or perhaps emotional ones because you have taken care of or shown patience with a loved one. Either way this month sees you reassess where you invest your time, energy and money with a view to making changes. With the erratic planet Uranus dwelling in the early degrees of your sign you are likely to feel restless. Rash decisions are unlikely to bear fruit, but this is an ideal time to implement changes that you have been contemplating. If you are unsure of what you want then continue to explore your options and suddenly a path will light up.

Taurus

Last month was the spark for some spicy moments in your life. These continue for a few more days and then you are being urged to seriously consider your options when it comes to relationships. It is time to make some serious plans. If you are single, or in a new relationship, then you need to consider your options.  If you are already in a committed relationship then it is time to sit down and make some plans with your partner. This could also apply to business partners and contracts. Whatever your personal situation, the experiences of the past month have taught you a lot and you are ready to move forward in a meaningful way. Your resources – income, assets and investments – are also under the cosmic microscope. You need to make the most of your current situation, restrain excess spending and discover ways to improve your situation. It is time to be frugal while also looking at the broader picture. A financial plan is one positive option. Financial advisers, counsellors and other professional consultants can be beneficial. One caution this month comes in the form of strong emotions stirred by overseas connections, in particular a woman from a foreign country. It is time to let go of any adverse psychological influences from past connections with women who have not had your best interests at heart.

Gemini

The month of November is all about partnership. Yes other people are the key to your success right now. This could be personal or business associates and your Sagittarian cohorts may stand out more prominently than others in the Zodiac. At the start of the month you need to focus on day-to-day matters. This could involve those little habits that affect your health.  It is time to listen to the voice that prompts you to adopt good living and working habits.  As November progresses then your attention can turn to the question of partnership. Are you single and seeking a new mate in life? Are you in a committed relationship and required to support your partner in some manner? On the other hand you may be ready to launch into a new business liaison. It is also possible that you are ready to break free of a personal or professional bond.  November 25 sees an Eclipse in your opposing sign and portends a time of sitting tight.

Cancer

Something new is being birthed this month. You may have been aware of the beginnings of this seed of excitement being sown in recent times. Now is your time to enjoy the fruits of your labours.  Birth is now part of your life. This could be the birth of a child, or it could be the start of something new. You may be starting a new project or entering into a new romance. Perhaps you are simply germinating an idea.  Children, your own or other people’s, may feature more prominently this month. They are a wonderful example. Watch their excitement and joy and re-capture some of your own. True Cancerians find joy in the simple pleasures in life – the warmth of loved ones breath, the scent of a freshly baked cake, and the smile of a tiny tot. November is your month to re-ignite your joy whether in the minutiae or the larger scheme of your life.

Leo

Family, in particular, the female members of your tribe, are likely to be stirring the pot this month. It may not be their fault.  Challenges in their lives may be spilling over into yours. On the other hand changes in your home life may be sparking some tricky emotions in the family circle. Whereas last month you were urged to communicate and express yourself, this month you would be well advised to keep the lines of communication open by listening, and then choosing your words carefully.  On November 25 an eclipse in a fellow fire sign urges you to sit tight rather than take any rash action, particularly when it comes to relationships. On a more positive note the planets are favourable for making improvements in your house. If you feel the urge to re-decorate then this could be a pleasant distraction, as long as female members of the household are in agreement.

Virgo

Virgos are such practical people. Faced with an emotional situation the typical Virgo leaps for the kettle and a comforting cup of tea (possibly herbal), while cleaning the kitchen and putting on a load of washing. The emotions are hence niftily sorted – or are they? Last month you were in hyperdrive when it came to being practical in an effort to avoid your worries. This month you can relax a little. Your fortunes are likely to change during the month. Monetary and emotional matters will improve. The planets are aligned to help you make the changes that you know need to be implemented. Letting go of the past, in particular an important woman or family member, needs to occur if this is standing in your way. On the other hand a relationship with a powerful and beneficial woman can deepen and become more significant. The important factor is that you believe in yourself, and face your emotions as honestly as possible. The organising, cooking, cleaning etc can be gently placed to one side while you pursue a project that gives you pleasure and joy as the planet Mars moves into your sign. This gives you energy and drive, and sparks the changes that you have been waiting for. Mars will stay in Virgo for nearly 8 months from November 11 this year until July 3 next year. During this time your plans can be implemented in a logical and strategic manner.

Libra

It is time for a little soul searching when it comes to financial matters. This month you are primed to reassess your spending habits and your earning capacity. If you have not already drawn up a budget then this is the month to do so. If you have incomplete financial matters then now is the time to tidy up loose ends. As you contemplate your financial worth also take a moment to ponder your self-worth. Often the Libran focus is on other people – Is my boss paying me enough? Do my workmates truly value me and all that I do for them? etc However, now you need to consider whether or not you hold yourself in high esteem or not.  You may be surprised by your discoveries as the month progresses. This month also sees changes in your home and family, which may see the close of one chapter in your life.

Scorpio

Much like last month you can continue to take a more time to reflect on the next chapter of your life. The start of the month sees meditation, music and the arts soothing your soul right now. As the planets Mercury and Venus leave your Zodiac Sign then you will see changes spark from the ideas that have been germinating.  It is time to put yourself first and pursue your own dreams. You may need to make some personal adjustments to boost your sense of wellbeing. These could be minor habitual changes, or a total makeover. The choice is yours. The main thing is that you are focussed on living your life with purpose, true to your own heart.

Sagittarius

Just a few more days of learning from life’s experiences and then you are ready to put some of your valuable lessons into practice. This could be as simple as seeing some of your cherished projects come to fruition, or it could be a more grandiose plan such as a completely new direction in life. Right now the idea is to take steps, no matter how small or large, towards lightening your load and enjoying life to the fullest. Typical Sagittarians are fairly optimistic at the best of times, but lately you have been feeling some fairly intense moments.  Emotions have been prominent, and perhaps interactions with others have been tense. Now you see the light and move forward until November 25 when an Eclipse in your sign portends caution. On this day you need to sit tight and consider your options, particularly when it comes to personal relationships. Otherwise beware to anyone who stands in your path this month!

Capricorn

In A.A. Milne’s delightful children‘s story “Winnie the Pooh” the industrious character Rabbit is often a little crotchety and irritated by the effervescent, bouncy Tigger. Do you, as a serious Capricorn identify somewhat with this when it comes to other signs of the Zodiac, in particular the exuberant Sagittarians? Well this month could see you more than a little irritated as you work on your projects, and the ardent Archers prepare for their birthday celebrations. The good news is that you are likely to reap the fruits of your labours by the end of the month when the Venus – the planet of luck and love – moves into your sign. Meanwhile, the planets are also aligned to encourage you to pay attention to some emotional spring cleaning. This month, while you are beavering away on your projects take a little trip down memory lane and let go of any hurtful twinges. A significant family member, an important woman or a reunion with someone from the past may help in this process.

Aquarius

Aquarius is an Air sign and as such you enjoy lively conversation, social media, the internet , new ideas and worldly discussions – correct? Aquarius is also one of the four Fixed Zodiac signs. Therefore it is possible that once you have taken a stand for or against an idea, person, technological invention or cause then you then you are fixed in your own mind and difficult to budge. Arguably Taureans are the most stubborn sign of the Zodiac, but Scorpios, Leos and Aquarians also display this trait. How is this relevant? This month you are likely to be fixated on something connected with your work, or public life.  The positive side of this is that you have a gift for focussing on a project or problem until you have reached a successful conclusion. It also makes you very loyal to a person or cause which is firmly fixed in your heart and mind. Right now you need to make sure that the positive side of your nature is to the fore, particularly when it comes to your public profile. Otherwise you could find that office politics, ill health and other such obstacles coincide to force you in a different direction. All being well, and balanced, you are likely to achieve results in your professional goals this month.

Pisces

This month you need to do something that lifts your spirits. What inspires you? Is it a religious ritual, a worldly topic, nature, politics, the arts, cinema or perhaps simply have a little time to be a recluse with a good book? This is your month to do something that feeds your soul, rather than your body. If your life is extremely busy then you may need to create a few minutes silence each day. Meditation may be the way to go. It is possible that exploring options for the future may offer relief you’re your current responsibilities. You can take comfort in knowing that your life has ebbs and flows.  On the other hand you may be ready for a whole new way of life, one that truly taps into your passion and reflects your true nature. As always it is important for Pisceans to avoid drugs and negative forms of escape and favour positive, life-enhancing pursuits.

Your Stars October 2011

Aries

How are your negotiating skills? This month puts them to the test as marriage, contracts and treaties are highlighted in your astrology. This is not the month to forge ahead in your usual headstrong manner. This can be a real asset most of the time, but during October there are several planetary pointers that ask you to temper your impatience, and consider matters from another person’s point of view.  Changes are afoot when it comes to partnerships and contracts and you need to make sure that they are a win/win for both parties. You do better in the long term if you show a little restraint and wisdom now.

Taurus

They say that woman are from the planet Venus and men from the planet Mars. Well this month these two planetary entities dance in the heavens in a way that challenges Taureans. What does this mean in non-astro speak? Your love life is about to become a lot more spicy – for better or worse. If you are single then you could meet an attractive lover and enjoy a new and very sensual liaison. If you are married then this month you reap the rewards of past actions. If you have been a kind and considerate lover then you enjoy even more heat in the bedroom. If however you have neglected your partner you need to make up for past misdemeanours before reaping any romantic rewards. Either way you should feel fairly positive about yourself and your investments. Just keep a tight rein on your appetite and ego and all is well.

Gemini

It is time to do what you do best – play, enjoy, laugh and connect! Yes your inner Tinkerbell and Peter Pan can be let loose.  In the unlikely event that the irrepressible Gemini has lost some “bounce” then spend a little time with young children or get inspired by others’ artistry. This will quickly remind you of your own gleeful, impish and inventive self. The Cosmos is giving you permission to be creative, to play and to reap the rewards of past innovative endeavours. If you have always wanted to  “…” then now is the time to “…” You can fill in the blanks for yourself.  The only person who is likely to get in your way this month is you.  Therefore you might like to explore some new ways of thinking, looking at the world, expressing yourself or move to a new neighbourhood.

Cancer

Something new is on the horizon. Although you may feel that you want to focus on your home and family, you are also aware that birth is part of your life. This could be the birth of a child, or it could be the start of something new. You may be starting a new project or entering into a new romance. Perhaps you are simply germinating an idea.  During October you may be forced to focus on housework and family members, but all is not as it seems. Sometimes the best ideas are formed while doing the simplest tasks. A bright idea can be sparked as the vacuum is being hauled around the house. This is your month to cook up something new.

Leo

Communication is vital this month. You need to think before you speak. You may also benefit from finding more inventive, creative and compassionate ways of expressing yourself.  It is time to move beyond any fixed ideas that you may have adhered to in the past. The good news is that this is an excellent month to learn new ways of expressing your ideas and connecting with other people. You may take a course that teaches you new skills, have an opportunity to train other people or take a short journey that sparks new ideas.  It is time to face any problems that you have been sweeping under the carpet at home. You also benefit from taking up a healthy and fun form of exercise or improving your diet.

Virgo

It is now time for all sharp-minded Virgos to focus on money matters. This is likely to be because you are planning something big and need to find the funds in order to carry out your plans. You may want to travel abroad, take up a new form of higher learning, take part in a spiritual group activity or donate to a philanthropic cause. Whatever your motivation you are now keen to improve your personal financial situation.  The first step to any incremental income rise is overcoming any self-doubting barriers. Therefore October is also your month to make sure that you are “on the money” so to speak when it comes to your self esteem. This is the ideal time to ask yourself what you really value.

Libra

This time of the year is usually the one time that you can really focus on your own needs and wishes. October is no exception.  You can take some time out of socialising, looking after your loved ones and mediating other people’s problems. It is time for a little “me” time. Think of all of the “self” words – selfish, self-help, self-esteem, self-worth, self-confidence,  self-assured, self-supporting etc. You can probably think of more. Your Aries friends are naturals when it comes to focusing on the “self”. They are real self-starters. Now you can take a leaf out of their books and develop this “self” muscle.  If you are tending towards another “self” word – self-doubt – then perhaps you could seek the advice of a strong minded male friend or colleague, or join a group that aims at helping you be more assertive.

Scorpio

You are usually very resourceful, able to turn your mind and skills to anything that requires focus and concentration.  Right now you may be in a bit of quandary, feeling like you can’t really focus on anything much at all. This soon changes, however; you do need to take a little more time to reflect on the next chapter of your life. This could be connected to career or marriage. In some cases you could be considering both professional and marital options. Meditation, music and the arts can soothe the soul right now. As the planets Mercury and Venus enter your Zodiac Sign this month and your birthday approaches you are likely to reap the rewards of your hard work.  “Hard work” is not necessarily physical hard work, but rather in your case refers to mental, emotional and/or spiritual tenacity.

Sagittarius

October is a busy month as you try to balance work and play. You are keen to socialise and spend time with friends, but those daily chores are also mounting up.  If you are forced to make a choice then you are more likely to spend time with friends and colleagues this month.  You may enjoy a busier social calendar with existing associations, or you may join a new group or club. October is also the ideal month to start that healthy new diet or exercise class that you are have been putting off in the past. The emphasis on anything undertaken this month,  whether social activities, chores or health,  is Fun with a capital “F”.

Capricorn

While your social connections are important this month, this is more likely to be because they are somehow supporting your life goals. Once again the industrious Goats are focused on ambitions. While you forge ahead with your professional objectives, you may also like to take some time to consider the bigger picture. Does your career path have meaning? Do you feel that you are fulfilling a spiritual purpose on this planet Earth? You are adept at climbing the ladder of success but it is also vital that you consider each rung on the way up.  Are your actions really taking you closer to a meaningful life? If the answer to all of these questions, and more, is a resounding “yes” then you are likely to enjoy the fruits of your labours and your professional connections this month.

Aquarius

It is time to broaden your horizons, something all freedom loving Aquarians are likely to enjoy. While you may have been required to focus on domestic issues in recent times now you are explore new territory.  This could be from the comfort of your own home – on the internet through social media, or via the mediums of television or film. You may also be hitting the books at home as part of a course of higher learning. On the other hand you may have itchy feet, an urge to travel abroad or experience a new culture. You may enjoy visits to art galleries, cultural exchanges with friends from other countries or a lecture at a nearby spiritual venue.

Pisces

Life as you know it is changing. This could be a very obvious event that has arisen from decisions that you have made in recent times. Perhaps you are making a commitment to another person, signing a contract, starting up a new business or tackling a new lifestyle. On the other hand the changes could be happening within you.  Either way you need to trust your intuition. Nothing is forever. Seasons come and go. If you listen to your heart then you will know when to hold on to something important and when to let go and accept the changes that flow as a result.

Your Stars September 2011

Aries
September is the ideal time for new beginnings. It is also the perfect time for all good Rams to embrace a healthier daily regime. Anything that picks up the pace and improves your health will simultaneously improve your finances. The area that particular requires some attention is your marital status. It is time to take a serious look at partnerships. If you are in a committed relationship then your partner may be raining on your parade, either intentionally or because they are struggling themselves. If you are single you may be feeling a little despondent about your status. Either way you need to take a practical approach and tackle things one step at a time.

Taurus
You are usually known for your steady and reliable approach to life, more prone to slip on your bedroom slippers rather than seek adventure. This September sees you adopt a more creative and outgoing lifestyle. It is time to try new activities. These may be creative or artistic pursuits close to home. This depends somewhat on your work demands, and your health. It is time for you to take a serious look at both your work load and your health. If you have been putting off a trip to the doctor or health professional then now is the time to take a serious look at your lifestyle, health challenges and habits. Dietary or exercise habits need to be improved or you will discover that your energy is depleted.

Gemini
You are full of bright ideas this season. Whether home decorating or furthering other interests, you are brimming with good ideas. You are a lively and invigorating conversationalist at the best of times, but now you are positively scintillating. It is also a good time for you to focus on your home and any children who may be in your care. You need to keep a watchful eye on these youngsters, offering care and support but not criticism. The same can be said for any project that you are currently nurturing.

Cancer
You have spent many of the previous months nurturing loved ones, and you are likely to continue along the same lines. Responsibilities for family members are paramount. It is time to open up the lines of communications, making sure that everyone in your vicinity feels safe to express their true feelings. You also need to speak up, making sure that others are hearing you. Your house may need some attention in the form of minor fix-it jobs or major renovations. Now is a good time to plan and budget.

Leo
The September calls for some serious decisions. In many ways your life is abundant. Your reputation and personal finances are blossoming. You can afford to take a little time out to enjoy the abundance but also take some time to serious consider options in other life arenas. For instance you may need to put your house in order, spending a little time to declutter or redecorate. Loved ones may require your attention. If you are married then this is a good month to indulge in romantic, or fun-filled, activities. If you are single then you may yearn for company. Avoid arguing with loved ones. As the saying goes, “do you want to be right or do you want t to be happy?”

Virgo
Money matters take priority as you reap what you have sown in recent times. If you have overspent then you are likely to struggle to meet your commitments. On the other hand your savings may now enable you to purchase a large item. September is not just about what you have invested your money in. It is also about how you have invested your time. If you have been training for a particular purpose then you may now receive a promotion, new job or project. If all else fails keep using your time and money wisely and eventually you will reap the rewards.

Libra
It is time to Spring clean your life. Now is the ideal time to overcome bad habits and develop some new healthy activities. Your usual people-loving nature may take a back seat as you seek solace in your own company. Self-discipline is called for during September. The more that you can restrain your impulse to indulge your emotions the better you will be in the long-term. Carefully consider how you are representing yourself to other people. On the positive side you are likely to enjoy many rewards if you are able to overcome your fears, habits and self-sabotaging habits.

Scorpio
Are you having second thoughts about the direction in which your life is heading? Feeling restless? Take some time this September season to consider your options. Enjoy your social life, but also delight in a little reclusive contemplation. If you have already taken action then your life is likely to be on “pause” for a little while. Tune in to your intuition, rest and subtly prepare for the next step on your journey. Behind the scenes work now is likely to pay dividends in the future. If all else fails go on a spiritual retreat!

Sagittarius
Finally you are able to enjoy the direction in which your life is heading. Your hard work is paying off and with the help of people – women – in high places your creative juices are flowing. Your social life may take a back seat to your career, and friendships may change, but you can be assured that this is simply a reflection of the changes that have been brewing in your life in recent times. Watch your finances. Large sums of money can be attracted, but you should be wary of big expenses during September.

Capricorn
The birth of new ideas is welcome during the September season. You may have more responsibilities in your work arena, but you are also aware of the opportunities that can flow and benefit you in other ways. Let the ideas flow. An overseas trip, a high-minded course of study or people from other cultures may inspire your work and life.

Aquarius
Next year heralds an end of an era for Aquarians as the planet Neptune finally and slowly moves out of your Sign. Right now you benefit from making changes in your private life that help accommodate bigger ones later on. You are probably better advised to pay attention to the details rather than the bigger picture right now. If you have been preparing for a shift in one or more areas of your life then you are getting closer. This is not necessarily a physical “shift” from one place to another, but could be a emotional, intellectual or spiritual one.

Pisces
Marriage, contracts and treaties are prominent in your life this September. If you are looking for renewal or commitment in marriage then the time is ripe. Enjoy yourself, but also consider your options when it comes to marriage and other forms of partnership. If you were hoping for a little “me” time then you may be disappointed. You need to be generous with your time without being a martyr or a victim to your loved one’s whims.

Dating Fatigue Syndrome

The Sun and the planet Venus are currently in the playful sign of Leo and it seems appropriate to write about dating. Romance is linked with Venus and Leos are amongst the most playful and romantic of all of us. Not just those with Leo Sun signs, but also those with Leo Moons, Venus in the sign of Leo etc.

All of us can take a leaf from the book of Leos. They are in love with love, and they are in love with themselves and they are then in love with life and others.

Many of my single female clients ask how they can meet men. Many of them are suffering from “dating fatigue syndrome”; having tried many dating options and come up with nothing.  Some have just not bothered at all. Now is a good time to break free of the fatigue and have some fun.

With the Sun and Venus in Leo now is a good time to start with the following tips – laid out rather bluntly by this Sagittarian author and aimed at women rather than men.

1)      Become your best self – get to the gym, dance classes, beaches or any other form of fun fitness – for health reasons not to look like Nicole Kidman

2)      Love your body the way it is and dress it well – Think French fashion, feminine, style

3)      Go out – stop watching “Grey’s Anatomy”,  “Australia’s Got Talent” or whatever is your addiction/comfort show – and mingle, mingle, mingle at events that uplift you.

4)      Hold dinner parties once a week and ask friends to come – make it easy – bring a dish, wine and a handsome single male friend. Mix up the guests. Focus on your guests happiness and shine.

5)      Positive thinking – read up, study, shop around for uplifting material and enjoy. In other words do you spend more time shopping for shoes than you do thinking positively about your love life?

6)      Clear clutter from your life and believe in yourself.  The whiff of desperation will have disappeared.

Attraction is inevitable when all of the above happens.
