Astro for week of october 2
Astrology for the week of October 2, 2006
By Shon Clark
Welcome to your weekly Sun-Sign astrology column. If you are unfamiliar with how Sun-Sign astrology works, let me offer you this advice: Sun-Sign astrology is based upon general astrological patterns. It is not like natal astrology, where your astrologer creates a detailed astrology chart for you that is based upon the time and place of your birth. Instead, Sun-Sign astrology looks at large systems and offers advice on how these system tend to interact with one another. This allows Sun-Sign astrology to reach an extremly wide range of people.
There are a few tips I can offer you that will help make this tool more personal to you and your life. I recommend that you:
1. Look at your sun-sign
2. Look at your rising and/or moon sign for additional advice (this information can be found with the aid of an astrologer or a good astrology website)
3. Look all of the entries and apply the advice to your life, as you see fit. Each entry offers useful advice designed to assist you in living a meaningful life.
I hope that you enjoy your astrological column. If you wish to purchase a personal chart interpretations, for youself or as a gift for a friend, please contact me directly at shon@WhirlingPearls.com or 503-241-5040.

Aries March 21-April 19
This week is all about your interaction with other people, my dear Aries. This will open the door for some very honest and beautiful moments between you and your closest friends. However, it will also create the possibility for childish, ego-centered, conflicts with other people. Be aware that you will be easily drawn into the energy matrix of other people. Healthy boundaries, therefore, are worth their weight in gold. I recommend that you practice a high degree of mindful awareness when you interact with others. Respect yourself and honor your limits.
Taurus April 20-May 20
Dear Taurus, this is a week when your professional self will be tested. I should tell you that the aim of this testing is not to expose your failings or shortcomings. Instead, it will help you see how long term-goals are unfolding in your present professional environment. Therefore, this is also a week of clarity. The observations you make at this time will be very valuable. This is because in about four months, you will have the opportunity to adjust some of your long-term professional goals. At that time, you will be in a position to make some very important choices. Now is the time to gather the necessary information, so that your path will be clear before you and you will be able to move ahead with wisdom.
Gemini May 21-June 21
You are in a time of great ease, my dear Gemini. I recommend that you let your hair down and enjoy all that life as to offer. This might include throwing a dinner party or going for a day trip out of town or you might want to visit an amusement park. The theme of this week is play and recreation. I urge you to let your inner child come out and to tell you how you should spend your time. At least for the time being, you can are free to become a free spirit, full of life and love.
Cancer June 22-July 22
Now begins a time of settling in, Cancer. It is likely that you have spent the last several months coming to terms with a new facet of your emotional life. This could involve a role call change in your household, a major shift in your personal self-image, or a significant moving around of your things. Shifts of this nature require a period of settling in. During this time, the key words/phrases are stability, safety, and emotional processing. Be kind to yourself and to your loved ones. This time of settling in will be over in a few weeks.
Leo July 23-August 22
This is a good week for vigorous metal work, Leo. Your mind will eagerly seek out and consume a variety of new ideas and experiences. You will also have a greater mental endurance, allowing you to work harder and longer than usual. The down side of this experience is that your mind is prone to believing that it is right and that your ideas are the best. You strongly identify with your ideas and are likely to defend them with more vigor and aggression than you intend. Be aware of trying to coerce others into believing that your way is the only way. If you can do this you will have a greater variety of experiences, and, more than anything else, this is what you mind is craving.
Virgo August 23-September 22
Dear Virgo, this is a week of ego identification with your material possessions. This can have several side effects, some easy and some difficult. On the easy side, when we identify with something, it provides us with motivation. In this case, your things will provide you with the impulse (and follow though) to better yourself. This might be because you will need to protect your things or that you will be moved to clean or change the arrangement of your thing. On the difficult side, you might place too much self-value on the value of your things. This can also include your income or your financial wellbeing. You can counter this effect, by recalling that your worth is greater than the sum of your bank account. This will be a good week to experience a different point of view. This aspect of life will return to normal in about a week.
Libra September 23-October 23
This is the season when your sign, Libra, will need to let go of the past year and open to the coming year. Many of us have difficulties letting go of the past. If this is the case for you, you will also have trouble accepting the future. To help you in letting go of the pains, stresses, and difficulties of the past year, I have a few suggestions. Firstly, you should spend some time meditating or contemplating on the last 12 months. Pay particular attention to what has been difficult for you to let go of. Next, make a list of these items. Then, thank the Universe for giving these things to you by blessing the items on the list. Lastly, open your heart and let the items on your list leave. This process will open the way for the gifts of the next year to enter your life.
Scorpio October 24-November 21
Dear Scorpio, you should know that there is something very dramatic in motion in your home sign. Jupiter, the planet of philosophy, luck and forward motion, has been playing havoc with both Saturn, planet of rationality and structure, and Neptune, the planet of spirituality and transcendent insight. The results of this disruption are only now beginning too manifest, however, they will continue for the next six-week or more. Because Jupiter is in your home sign, you will likely feel the most dramatic and emotional parts of this planetary influence. For you, it could manifest as a strong desire for either clarity or freedom. Alternatively, it might surface as the sudden resurgence of very old and powerful emotions. My suggestion is that you make time for yourself, so that if you find yourself in an unexpected emotional storm, you can process it without burning any bridges. In particular, I urge you to be aware of authority figures, as they are the most likely people to set this pattern into motion. Keep in mind that this period of time will be over by early December and life will return to normal at that time.
Sagittarius November 22-December 22
Please look at your friendships and other relationships, this week, Sagittarius. Look at the sorts of friends you have around you and ask yourself how much value they bring to your life. In some cases, you will find that they bring you a great deal of value and that you should spend some time telling them how much they mean to you. In other cases, you will find people around you who take up time and energy and give you very little for your efforts. In these cases, I recommend that you ask yourself why these people are still considered friends. If they are taking up space and giving nothing in return, then letting them go will make room for new friendships to come to you in the near future. Remember that value and love need to be met with value and love, nothing less.
Capricorn December 23-January 19
You are sure to have a strong attachment to your physical things this week, Capricorn. I recommend that use this experience to understand the value of your things. Or to say it another way, you should recognize that your things are, in fact, representatives of your emotions. One could even say that they are you emotions in a physical form, manifested right in front of you so that you can touch and feel them. As you continue to seek release from attachment with your physical things, I urge you to take some time this week to touch your things and to feel the emotions that they represent.
Aquarius January 20-February 18
The stars are right for you to broaden your horizons, Aquarius. This can happen though study, discussion or experience. I recommend that you explore not only new ways to do the things you can currently do, but, also that you seek out skills in completely new areas of interest. This is an extremely favorable time for you to put your creativity and intellect to work for you. You can put your focus on the inner subtleties of living, seek to explore far away places or seek out metaphysical wisdoms to help you understand the reason for existence. There is almost no limit to the doors that are ready to open for you right now.
Pisces February 19-March 20
This week, you are blessed with a softer ego, my dear Pisces. This is an excellent time to retire from the stress of the world and do some meditations on what you love about your life. The value of inner exploration will be at an all time high, and will relatively little effort. My recommendation is that you keep a journal near by because the insights you are likely to receive will be very helpful in the weeks and months to come. Enjoy your exploration time and please say “hi” to the Universal Mystery for me.
