Astrology For the Week of July 25 – July 31, 2010

NADIYA’S ZODIAC STARCAST BY NADIYA SHAH, M.A.

THEME OF THE WEEK:
It’s a gorgeous Full Moon in Aquarius! Full Moon’s symbolize a time when emotions come to the surface. Celestial symbols suggest an excess of feelings and fantastical desires. Keep then grounded in what you need to be truly happy. It will be a great day, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Most of the time, the actions we take are not noticed as much as we think. This realization should free us. It gives us permission to be free of self-consciousness. A major victory is accessible. Take yourself less seriously to make the most of it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Sometimes people see us for who we were instead of who we have become. Someone adores you, but you wonder if it’s for all you are today. You don’t need to be right or let it all hang out in order to be loved.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Moments that ask us to step up in a time of crisis can be reacted to in different ways. There may not be anything particularly pressing, but you certainly are telling yourself there is. Relax and you will be more effective.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Lurch, from “The Adams Family,” was capable of normal conversation but instead preferred to speak in moans. When you like, you can be articulate and well spoken. Today calls for less words. Be subtle and your meaning will be understood.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
A long face refers to someone who looks dismayed. You have a lot to look forward to and a lot to be excited about right now. Someone may misinterpret your concentration. If it matters what they think, you can take the time to explain.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Displacement occurs when we cannot admit the true source of our anger, and therefore express it elsewhere. You have been diverting your attention. An insight into what is not acceptable to you arrives along with keys to meaningful change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Designers are reflecting the trends of dressing down and looking anything but luxurious. Regardless of your fashion sense, you inspired to appear less dramatic. It reflects your growing sense of commonality with many.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Some think of a visit to the dentist as a cleansing experience, others traumatic. In the end, it is a necessity and we can choose how accepting we will be of the process. A current project has you pulling teeth. Don’t fight today. Relax and you will get more done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
You had a small error in judgment. But now you know better, and will do better in the future. Ruminating in regret will not help your cause. Forgive yourself and be grateful to know better now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Being sensitive is a sign of a life lived engaged in experience, but to be hyper sensitive is a form of self-centeredness. You may feel touchy now. It will change when you are honest with yourself about its source.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Tennis is a game best played in pairs. Similarly, there are some things that are best done with another person around. You may have relished your independence, but now, feel the need for some companionship. It is on offer. Accept who is there.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Smog is an environmental phenomenon that creates a misty hue over a city. Similarly, there are times when we feel that the view is not as clear as we would like. You may not be able to see how all the pieces are going to come together, but they are.

Symbolic Living — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:34:27 +0000

Astrology For the Week of July 11 – July 17, 2010

NADIYA’S ZODIAC STARCAST BY NADIYA SHAH, M.A.

THEME OF THE WEEK:
A Solar Eclipse in the sign of Cancer, along with other powerful planetary conversations, all point to tremendous victories in athletic endeavors. Just in time for the close of the FIFA World Cup. It will be an especially memorable time for many, with surprising and inspiring outcomes. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19):
We can have a powerful sense of what we love, but ultimately, none of us know our destiny. There is only what you believe and what you are willing to work for. You are heading for great things. Don’t let your fears get the better of you this week. Push past them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
We can look at someone’s choices and feel frustrated that they choose to complain instead of making changes. You may shake your head at someone now, but stay detached. You do not know the subtleties of the situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
If the foundation to a building isn’t strong, external forces can threaten the whole establishment. You are being drawn within. Consider where you are strong and where your attention could make you more stable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Waterfalls occur when there is a sharp decline in underlying sediment. By allowing the ground to drop, nature creates a place of beauty. You feel a shift and may need a second to catch your footing. A more beautiful you is becoming visible in the process.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Fight or flight is considered one of the most primary drives we feel when under threat. You currently see a development as potentially affecting your safety. Your method of handling it will not be found in your immediate reaction. Reason through what you feel to find a wiser response.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Reincarnation is a belief, a concept, or a religious view that centers on the notion that we all get another chance. A recent setback may have you thinking you missed your shot, but now you can see your next opportunity. Make the most of it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Some athletic competitions also have a “pewter medal”, given to the person who comes in forth place. We don’t only have to be first to be worthy of recognition. Don’t compare yourself to others today. You have done your best, and it deserves credit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Tiles can be used to meet a carpenters objective, or as a work of art. It’s the eye and joy you bring to it. You have work in front of you that feels boring in its mundane functionality. You can still bring your own flare to the project and make it dazzle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
A swamp can hold water to the point of stagnation. Fresh water is needed to cleanse the area. Similarly, we all need times of renewal to keep us from dormancy. A small opportunity provides a new ingredient you need for a breakthrough.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
3D technology allows us to enter a virtual world and makes film come alive. However, there is nothing like actually living through an experience. You may have accepted a very good simulation of what you really want. Be honest with yourself. You want what is real.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Horror movies make use of fog dramatically. Fog is also an example of when the sky comes closer to the earth and allows clouds to touch us. Something may seem uncertain and you are letting it frighten you a bit. You are actually moving closer to merging with a contact.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Dormitories ask a large number of people to live together and share space. Some acclimatize to these surroundings more easily than others. You are entering a new environment now and may not be sure how you feel about it. You will find your niche.

New Moon in Cancer July 11, 2010 Solar Eclipse

Symbolic Living — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:33:51 +0000

By Symbolic Living.

It’s a New Moon in Cancer and a Solar Eclipse! This new moon hits at 3:40 pm EST on July 11, 2010.

The energy of a solar eclipse is long lasting, with some feeling it’s influences as much as 6 months away.

The eclipse is a symbolic experience of death and rebirth.

The energy of the moon overtakes the sun for a time and becomes a dominant force in our world. It is symbolic of the collective unconscious ruling over the ego. Although it is often instinctively interpreted as dooming to see the sun go dark, it shows us the swiftness in which transformation can take place.

It’s a time of awakening, realizing the Self and recognizing the transformation in life that takes place moment to moment. The darkness blots out the sun for a time, and the radiant, life giving light returns seemingly brighter and more alive. Bring that energy and awareness to all you do. Newness comes alive.

The Moon rules Cancer so you know there’s going to be even more increased energy and significance here. Like a feedback loop of more integration of the influences.

Right now the moon is calling us to bring forth an element of focus on a long term goal. This time calls for benefiting from study and concentration, whether it be in higher education, borrowing texts from a library, researching online, or learning a new skill through practical application. The potentials depend on your hearts desire. It won’t be uncommon to see people feeling a level of anxiety though. Your instincts could be spot on, but they could also be working overtime. Couple this with the emotions about achievement and some people may feel doubts about what they are capable of.

However, potential for success in business is high overall right now. Hard work and a sense of progress, along with patience, will reap results. Avoid quarrels whenever possible, it really won’t get you far. Take a step back and keep your eye on being enthusiastic and ambitious about what is possible. The energy is there. Direct it towards your aspirations instead of fighting against perceived obstacles. Emotions may be there that take you off course, but do your best to keep them in check.

Home will likely be a good place to offer you some respite so you can feel a sense of comfort and grounding. It will give you a balance you need while your mind considers what you wish for and how to attain it. At home you’ll be able to thoroughly consider what you are capable of without getting overwhelmed by what you think may not be achievable. Going out, partying, won’t be the best use of your time right now, it’s more of a distraction. It may make you feel like you’re getting behind in what really matters in your life.

Keep in mind, the slightest thing could put people on the defensive as an instinctive reaction. This is a safety mechanism people use to protect themselves by creating distancing barriers from others. People naturally want to feel good and anything they perceive that could damage their emotions could cause them to react.

Disharmony in relationships may be notable. Maybe you don’t feel compatible with someone. Even though you may have a lot of good intentions in love, you may be rushing things in a way that puts your partner off. If you are nagging someone, you’ll most likely not get the results you want for emotional fulfillment from the relationship. Don’t harp on something if your partner isn’t responding well to you initially bringing up a subject. Inhibitions that are unspoken of, including sexual inhibitions could cause tension that blocks the emotional feelings of balance you’re looking for. If you or another feels critiqued and observed with judgment it could spell disaster for any passion to grow. Money matters could also put a strain on the relationships ability to flourish into a companionship that feels fulfilling.

Although you may feel like a long distance traveling expedition could do wonders for your exploratory side, staying close to home has a lot of benefits. Seeing familiar faces, sleeping in your own bed, having a nice dinner with family and close friends really does offer a lot of emotional balance. Choose who will be around though because with the likelihood of tempers flying off the hand easily in some instances, well mannered people are the best option.

It won’t be unlikely for people to be pulling temper tantrums. Nervousness and restlessness are possible. Nobody likes to be around people who burst out with rage. Do your best to not be the one who instigates any radical behaviour. If you’re feeling a lot of excess energy, put it into use. Direct your energy towards something that is familiar and orderly to keep yourself in line. Your attention to detail might be magnificent if you focus which will take whatever you do to the next level, but if you are doing something so meticulously and don’t give yourself breathing space, frustration can erupt.

If you generally have a tendency to get anxious, or have social anxieties, you’ll also feel safer at home surrounded by familiar things. This doesn’t mean you should become a hermit, but it does mean working on things, including personal self-help and self awareness through personal explorations can be beneficial.

Is your house a mess? Does it need to be cleaned? Oh well. Do what’s necessary to keep your place somewhat tidy, but if you don’t have the energy, or the desire to clean, give yourself a break and let it slide. You can pick up the clothes off your floor later. If you’re comfortable enough with a little mess right now, don’t worry about it. If you have someone coming over, don’t get uptight about a little mess here and there. It’s your home. Of course it’s going to look lived in. Having a museum for a home right now just isn’t going to feel as good as being real will. It’s time to be a little more authentic right now instead of putting on an illusion of what you think would be “best”.

Anyone with food issues may feel it a little more heightened now. Pick up a cookbook and make something that feels nourishing to the soul and the taste buds. Instinctively you’ll know what your body needs. Remember food also nourishes the mind. A good meal will stimulate your thinking processes and enhance your mood.

Making a meal for someone else will make you feel good. Think of yourself as a mother figure, providing a meal full of love for your friends, family and yourself. All that energy will hit the spot for everyone enjoying a healthy dose of real soul food. There’s a big difference between soul food, and junk food. Processed foods and junk will not make you feel good on a soul level. Choose the best options with lots of flavor, lots of love, and a lots of nutrients for the whole self.

Do something creatively inspiring. Writing, reading a play, exploring the arts are good ways for you to tap into emotional freedom now. You’ll likely want to be yourself, to be comfortable feeling free and authentic in who you really are.

Until next time, we hope you enjoy exploring your place in the big picture of life and the universe we are all a part of.

Astrology Forecasts July 4 – July 10 2010

Symbolic Living — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 11:36:46 +0000

Astrology For the Week of July 4 – July 10, 2010

NADIYA’S ZODIAC STARCAST BY NADIYA SHAH, M.A.

THEME OF THE WEEK
Uranus begins his retrograde motion and appears to travel backwards in the sky. This is an illusion from our earthly perspective, but remains powerfully symbolic. The planet of liberation now leads us to consider our inner blocks to freedom. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19):
There is an inner home and an outer home. Both provide a sense of safety and security. Both are building towards much needed changes. Fresh air is about to breeze through where you live. Be renewed and refreshed by the surge of activity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Creativity comes forth in deliberate attempts to court it, and can also surprise us by being available when it’s demanded in a new situation. Here comes a brand new opportunity that allows you to flex new skills you never knew you were good at. You love what you find within you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Some people love money, while others reject it as material fluff. Your own relationship to currency is changing. You are beginning to believe you deserve more of it. That shift alone opens the way to greater prosperity. A new, more abundant financial picture emerges.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):
You have been traveling the same road for a while but are beginning to get frustrated with it. You are ready for change but may not know the way forward just yet. Let the desire for something new build. The clarity is near and when it comes, it will rejuvenate you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
In a moment, you realize that the world is so much bigger than you had previously appreciated. Your fears may have prevented you from reaching for the bigger option. That changes now as a brazen spirit comes over you. Go for gold in all you do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
We all have different musical tastes, but shared appreciation can bring us together. Similarly, there is a commonality you share with someone that, until now, has gone unacknowledged. Finding it allows a new friendship to take root.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
We can fear changes, especially when we think they affect our ability to provide for ourselves the security we need to live. However, the changes now to your work and career are nothing to fear. They are very good. Actively seek chances to move up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
The world is a big, prosperous place. There is no need to ever limit your options of what is possible for you. You can see this now more than ever before, and if you are one of the few who doesn’t just yet, this week will prove how much things can change for the better.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
The trick is to want what is good for you so that you bring it closer to you and also recognize what is not good for you so that you avoid it. Many things are not painted with clear warning signs though. You are intrigued by what’s prohibited. Tread with awareness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
One of the great secrets to happiness is to put love into everything you do. Whether it is a person, place, or thing, love is on your mind. You are reconfiguring all your relationships now, making them more genuine in the process.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Which would you rather have, health, wealth, or happiness? The answer to the question is “without your health, the others don’t matter.” You can certainly have all three, but you care about your wellbeing more each day. Improvements will have a positive overall effect.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
We can choose to deal with an opposing view by launching into a diatribe of our own. You are now being asked to take a different approach. Allow another person the right to their personal views of the world. Don’t take it personally.

Astrology For the Week of June 27 – July 3, 2010

NADIYA’S ZODIAC STARCAST BY NADIYA SHAH, M.A.

THEME OF THE WEEK
The G20 summit takes place in Toronto this weekend. It will be particularly intense, but overall positive. Mercury is busy suggesting lots of conversations, connections, and considerations with powerful outcomes. All sides will feel that their voice was heard. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Sometimes the thing you never dream, because it just seems too big to dream, is the very thing that happens. You are being asked to reach for a lofty and inspired vision of your future. You can make it come about with your sheer faith.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Even if you feel like the plainest Jane, there is something you do that is able to come across as pure magic. That’s what talent is. Even if you have previously not acknowledged it, you are about to accept the awesome responsibility of what you have been given.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
After all the fighting, striving, and trying, there comes a point when you realize you have to release your grip if you are going to make any progress. That’s the point of surrender. You have been chasing what you want. Now turn it over.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):
You have been traveling the same road, determined to make circumstances go your way. There may have been the temptation to cut your losses. However, you do not currently have the clarity to make a clean break. Hang in a while longer before you make an irreversible decision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
The violin is a romanticized instrument, often getting leading solos in large orchestral pieces. But each instrument is represented, and is important to the larger piece of music. You know you are special. Show it now by working within a larger team and taking account of all contributions

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Actors are brave souls. Most go through a series of auditions, constantly facing rejection, in order to do what they love most. This helps develop a thinker skin. Stay aware of what you want most and the differing opinions of others will matter less.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Purses are used to carry around the things we may need, but can also hold things that are unnecessary. Similarly, you are holding on to a past experience, replaying it in your mind now, for no good reason. Clean out your past to make room for a fantastic future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Passions can lead us astray, but they can also point the way to joy and fulfillment. The difference is found through self-honesty. You have a strong reaction today and your desire is through the roof. Temper it with a practical plan to create lasting happiness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
We can forget how much the daily grind takes out of us. Vacation days allow us to remove ourselves from situations that seem overwhelming. You may be cursing your circumstances, but it is the thrill of life you are involved in. Thrive within the fast moving events.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Life is a game, and you are here to win. The week may begin with an uncomfortable situation with another person. Miscommunication can lead to misunderstandings. A moment of appreciation is followed by a new way to share. You will be changed for the better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Rules are made to be broken, but first we must know the rules inside out if we are step outside their boundaries with purpose and intelligence. You want to break free. It is admirable. Make sure you are clear about what you are liberating yourself from.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Some of the greatest love stories are those that detail relationships that were met with resistance yet defied the odds. Sometimes the opposition isn’t outside us at all. It’s our own questioning. Let your questions about another lead to a connection that is stronger.

Full Moon in Capricorn June 26 2010 Eclipse

Symbolic Living — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 01:15:46 +0000

By Symbolic Living.

It’s a Lunar Eclipse at 7:30 am EST on Saturday June 26. Right now, the Full moon is in Capricorn and the Eclipse is going to emphasize this influence.

Challenges. Resistance. Limitation. Restriction. All sounding glum and dreary? Not so. Although there is a lot of potential for challenges, there is also energy there for a breakthrough, often influenced by what is restricting you. It isn’t going to be easy but transformation is inevitable. Be an observer to what’s happening while thinking about the bigger picture of your life. Things can happen that are really meaningful and memorable in your life during an eclipse.

There is a Grand Cross happening right now.

Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are all in difficult aspects to the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Pluto. Whoa! Now that’s a lot of power and a lot of challenges.

The sign of Capricorn is accomplishment oriented and this Full moon in Capricorn is emphasizing these qualities. Climb that Mountain! But you may feel like you’re stuck at the bottom of that mountain by personal inhibitions and lack of confidence. It’s ok. We all feel inhibited at time and in some area of life we all lack confidence. Anyone who doesn’t recognize their own challenges as being real or true, and puts on a show that everything about themselves is effortless, aren’t really being honest and accepting of just how complex being human really is.

The time surrounding this eclipse, including the week before and after, even beyond, many may be aware they have a lot of goals and aspirations but are feeling limited in area’s of life ranging from money, self confidence, to limits people at home such as family are placing on you. It’s as though what we aspire to achieve and attain is kind of buried, and we want a break. What feels like an obstacle to you?

When these kinds of feelings of limitations are present, and we focus on them, we’re actually giving ourselves a good look in the mirror and getting real with what is possible for us. Looking at all the different angles and possibilities of what we can achieve is put into focus. Maybe you’d like to try branching out in a new area, a new job, a new place to live, a new………..fill in the blank. Think about your goals in a longer term range, and see how by reflecting on what is limiting you right now, you actually are building on the possibilities by finding out more about who you are and where you’d really like to go. You’ll be able to get clearer on what direction you want to take.

Many will have a more low-key emotional response to things happening than during other full moons. Capricorns are like that – more to the point and less about wallowing. A little grumbling is possible, well maybe a lot, but it doesn’t last long. However, you may see people acting out, being boisterous during a full moon. The acting out can be an indication of something deeper within being inhibited, and the acting out is just their way of covering it up and putting the focus on something else to keep it hidden.

If you feel uninspired because of a lack of confidence right now, be in the company of someone who is inspiring. Read a biography or watch a documentary on those who have gone through the challenges but have overcome the internal and external obstacles to achieve their desired success. You know, the most interesting people are those who have “gone through it”, and have overcome adversity.

If you’re feeling a little down and emotionally burnt about the challenges, just remember that obstacles create results. Obstacles are internal and external, and you may be your own worst enemy at times. Many people won’t do much or accomplish much unless there is an external influence giving them determination and a reason to push forward. Resistance gets us real with what we have to do.

Think of yourself as an evolutionary step, coming out of the water suddenly for the first time and stepping onto land. What a challenge and powerful transition that is in itself. The eclipse points to that place of transformation. Life isn’t about just achieving goals, there’s a whole process involved and life is the process. You get to experience every step of the way, and your life has meaning. Your life is like a movie; you have a story to tell, an important story worthy of your existence. All your trials and triumphs are there for you to recognize who you are right now.

Some people focus on the goals and miss out on so much from point A to B. Work hard for results, but the eclipse shows us that transitions happen naturally and progressively as they are meant to, so watch the process and enjoy it. They also show us that things can come up suddenly, things that we hadn’t expected arise. How you react, and what you do with what comes up, is up to you. There is always going to be that mountain to climb. For now, just breathe in the fresh air as you step out of the water.

You might actually have a headache around the eclipse and feel heavy within, like gravity is pulling on you more than you’d like. You may even have nausea or indigestion.

Visualizing your goals and ambitions could lead to real breakthroughs. Internalize. Feel that earth element in a beneficial way. Don’t rush things, there’s no point, it won’t move things any faster. Forcing things could just create unnecessary limitations in the process. Getting into your hobbies, or even thinking of some new one’s you’d like to take up could open up some revelations about what you’d like to achieve in the bigger picture of your life. Get down to earth with doing something enjoyable.

A quick tip – keep your bank account up to date. Pay attention to your online account with your bank. Make sure you didn’t overlook putting a check in the bank or paying a bill. Also, try playing the lottery. Even though there is a one in a multi-million chance of winning, it is an eclipse, and sudden changes from external happenings might make you the lucky one.

Communications could be totally off right now. Think before you speak and don’t blurt anything out from your emotions, especially with people at home. Home might feel strange right now. People may not get along, and may not want to. Be kind if possible. Even pets have feelings so make that extra effort to be nice, even when they are asking for all your attention and you just want to be alone doing your own thing. Even on a deeper level, dreams might be coming to you with messages. Write them down if you have a hard time remembering them. More importantly if you wake up from an emotionally draining dream, try to collect your thoughts and imagine a spiritual, more mystical energy surrounding you to clear away any negative feelings.

Don’t over-dramatize. Don’t overreact. It will make things worse.Your judgment might be off so take a step back before reacting.

Pessimism is possibly in the air. You might feel it for yourself or from others.

It would be nice to be Pollyanna with the astrology forecast, it is an eclipse and eclipses are supposed to be exciting right! Well yes, but all the challenging aspects with the Grand Cross are showing us that although there are challenges and we need to recognize what is, we can take a moment to step back and bring our positive efforts forward to counter the influences going on. By being aware, you’re ahead of the game. Much of life has to do with our responses and reactions to what happens.

At least, now you know, and can take the precautions when you encounter less than positive things happening, both within and before your eyes.

The G20 is happening in Toronto and the city is so quiet I hear. Protesters are far from the scene of talks and still bringing forth their views, but most of the city seems to be on vacation. This event happening during the eclipse, there will be breakthroughs but it won’t come without challenges.

Astrology For the Week of June 20 – June 26, 2010

NADIYA’S ZODIAC STARCAST BY NADIYA SHAH, M.A.

THEME OF THE WEEK
Happy Summer Solstice! This week holds a fantastic Full Moon eclipse in the sign of Capricorn. This entire month has encouraged us, in personal ways, to brave a new path. If you haven’t felt it yet, this week will be especially notable. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19):
This is the time to take a great leap of faith, the kind of leap that has you moving towards optimism and opportunity. You may be uncharacteristically afraid now as you take a chance at change. Leave doubts to the side. Brag about your achievements to attain even more of them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Many of us are actually quite wealthy. Much depends on how we define it. You are richer than you know and are already, in important ways, living your dreams. Acknowledge that first. Next will be a surprise chance to make a power deal that brings more prosperity your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Police sirens alert us to move out of the way, but when we are approaching a matter dangerous to the heart, the bells are much quieter and require that we tune in if we are to hear warning. Pay attention for signals that tell you the other person’s intention.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Now that the restlessness has left you, a feeling of genuine confidence returns. The way to use it best is to consider if your kinder self-concept is reflected in your habits. A time to make an important change is approaching.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Artists have always fascinated philosophers. Their creative vision is a mystery to be unraveled. But you know when you are creative. The inspiration is palatable. There is an artistic side to you that wants to come out and play now. Follow it through.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Some of us are encouraged, others thrust, but there comes a point when we have to leave the safety of our childhood home and strike out on our own. There are changes happening in your living quarters. It may initially look uncertain, but you will feel empowered by the changes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
It’s a big money moment for you. First there are changes before there can be gains. Flow with what alters. You want a more empowered financial picture where you are calling more of the shots. In one powerful development, you move closer to your vision.

You are very focused on a goal. It is motivating you and has much of your attention. However, you are also using it as a distraction from a higher aim, a larger goal you want to attain. This could be a self-sabotage move on your part. Strive to be honest with yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Whatever you do, bring your best. This is the surest way to ensure success. But sometimes we wonder if our best is good enough. For you now, it is more than adequate to meet and exceed. You are close to triumph. Keep the faith.

NADIYA’S ZODIAC STARCAST BY NADIYA SHAH, M.A.

THEME OF THE WEEK:
Some weeks simply radiate passion. This is such a week. Positive, romantic developments arise, along with some very pleasant and surprising moments with the potential to sweep us off our feet. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Think outside the box. We all know that as one definition of creativity, but what if you could think differently as a way to solve your current relationship dynamic. You may have become accustomed to interacting in a specific way. Here comes a chance to try a different approach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
A common topic of light conversation is the weather. Usually, we discuss how it is too hot, too cold. Rarely do we acknowledge how perfect it is, because it could be argued, it rarely is! You may now be complaining. Everything is actually just right.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
There can be massive anticipation leading up to the premiere of a big movie. We wait for the taste of entertainment. You are building towards something great. You know this. Try to enjoy a small moment that indicates you are heading in the right direction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):
There’s always someone we know who is good for a pep talk, and you could use that person right now. You need to be reminded this week that there are financial opportunities available to you. Once your perspective is set straight, you will see them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Thank goodness for love. It greases the wheels of life and adds pleasure to our lives. You are ushering in a new phase that will last all month. It kicks off with surprising twists that find you attracted where you never thought to look before. Enjoy the thrill.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Swimming is a skill. It has to be learned, but once you do know it, it can save your life repeatedly and add a measure of enjoyment. You are dreading the tedious process you must engage, but you are learning invaluable things that will benefit you in countless ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Some of us may crave chocolate, potato chips, or a burger. If it’s good for us, it stays. If not, the cravings pass. However, there are other kinds of cravings that speak to a deeper urge. You are focused on a goal, but it requires a slight adjustment to get what you really want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
The most memorable restaurant experiences revolve around great food and outstanding service. The two naturally go together. However, when one is missing, the entire experience suffers. You have a presentation. Make it a warm production delivered with certainty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
One of the appeals that some find with hiking is that it allows an experience of nature. With its unpredictability, harsh sun, and soft shade, it is all represented there. You may question the best way forward now. Take some time in a natural setting to gain the perspective you are seeking.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
As much as there is going on around you, and as many successes you are sure to attain, your focus is asking to be placed on more ethereal matters. You need to reconnect to your motivations. Once you have that, the way forward becomes clearer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
For a sign that rules the collective, you are highly independent. So much so that you hate to feel that you are not absolutely self-reliant at all times. However, this time is increasingly asking you to make connections. Reach out in new directions to make progress.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Picture your ideal environment. Now, look around you. You may surprise yourself with the appreciation that you are exactly where you want to be. There is pleasure on offer. It comes in quiet ways such as simply loving where you are.

New Moon in Gemini June 2010

Symbolic Living — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 19:06:33 +0000

It’s a New Moon in Gemini, Saturday, June 12, at 7:14am EST.

Right now there can be conflict between feelings and rationality. Some people may speak up quickly, even too quickly, saying exactly what they feel without rationally thinking through the impact and consequences of revealing what is said. People who attempt to merge rational thoughts with intuition will experience more balanced reactions than those who jump to conclusions based on emotions.

You may also note people are thinking, saying and doing many things at once with great versatility engaging in many activities at once.

You may feel a strong desire to speak up about things you are interested in or have firm views in. Don’t blurt out other people’s secrets, or even your own if you can help it. Try to hold back a bit by thinking things through. Some people may talk your ear off, annoyingly so, like a chatterbox. But if you’re in sync with someone on a topic, the conversation will be really great, revealing a lot of deep revelations and bringing up meaningful ideas.

Don’t give away too many personal secrets to people you only know as an acquaintance, someone may use what you say against you, so be aware of potential motives strangers may have if you giving up the goods.

Try to listen as much as you desire to talk.

The quickness of responses can be used positively, for wit, humor and conversation. But don’t make fun of other people, it may hurt their feelings on a really deep level or they may have the fortitude to bring you down to size easily with their fast, poignant responses that may trump yours immensely. Their words may hit you right at the core, leaving you gasping inside, desperately seeking more compassion.

Be acutely aware of what you’re saying has an effect on others. You know, sometimes things said or heard can stick with people for a lifetime, changing them forever. Be sensitive to others as much as you would appreciate others being sensitive to your feelings. Even more-so if you don’t get phased easily, because others may be impacted significantly by a sharp tongue.

There’s a tendency to have a higher nervous energy right now, and impatience. A bit of worry isn’t out of the equation either, so ensure your words don’t instigate others to feel too drawn inward.

Some people will feel quite shy, compassionate and sensitive right now. Take the best of these qualities and see people for who they are on a fair and considerate level. Shy people can often have an aspect of lowered esteem in one area or another. Showing them you care and aren’t judgmental will make them feel better, more connected and confident that you really are considerate of their thoughts and feelings.

Many people wanting to stay home won’t be surprising this weekend. Some may feel secluded even when in crowds. A need for privacy is likely this weekend. Time alone is important. Peace, quiet may be especially fruitful and necessary for some. Writing poetry, listening to music and paying close attention to the meaning of the lyrics may be moving and inspiring. Take some time to do what feels personal. Do something that feels meaningful to you and if you’re doing for others behind the scenes, recognition won’t be necessary for you to feel fulfilled. You’ll know that what you’re doing is for a good purpose and that’s enough. This time is auspicious for you to be of service to others. Self sacrifice is possible for those who are very giving, so try to find the balance so you don’t get lost in the process.

Avoid negative escapism. If you have a tendency to indulge in anything that lowers your energy or takes you to the edge of extreme emotions try to avoid protecting yourself from the outside world. Communicate with others in a healthy way that doesn’t seclude you.

Conversation may be a powerful experience for you this weekend, especially with people you really love, trust and know care about you or show a genuine interest in your thoughts and feelings. Discussing problems and concerns with loved ones likely will show some support now. Do you have a secret you’re ready to talk about with someone you are close to? You’ll have support this weekend if you’re really feeling ready.

If you’re not the type to want to spend too much time alone or at home you’ll find being sociable with friends and acquaintances will be good this weekend, especially if you have ideas to bounce off others, they’ll be good sounding boards with feedback to consider. Join an online group or society in your area that has common interests as you, discuss deeper concerns, even mystical subjects.

Venus is really shedding light on the personality right now. Jewelery, clothes, makeup, a new hair style, all these things will make you feel good about yourself, like you’re shining forth your creative self reflected in your choice of aesthetic beauty. Go to a fashion show. Go to an art installation with friends. Check out some old or unusual pieces to add to your collection, or sell to make extra bonus cash. Find inspiration for making changes to your home. The decor given the Goddess touch will be transformational. Delicious and beautifully displayed foods will be a bonus boost to your feelings. You’ll have a lot of fun and be very inspired by all that is beautiful. Be spontaneous. Short bursts of creative energy may show up. Try on something new even if you don’t buy it, just experiencing seeing yourself in a new way will be fun. You’ll feel lucky. Jupiter trines Venus, so enjoy.

In terms of relationships be kind, express your love. Emotions may run high and you may even find there’s a tendency to be possessive and feelings of security in love may be up in the air. If you’re relationship is due for a change adding romance and spice to the relationship will be cherished. Give love and you’ll receive love. Relaxing conversation, and relating in depth are both helpful to the relationship.

Speaking of Jupiter, Uranus and Jupiter joined in conjunction earlier this week. Starting something new, something transformative, especially in terms of business will be especially powerful. Got a new direction, and ready to let go of something that wasn’t working. It’s time to make that change. Be adventurous and original. Think long-term growth being started by choices and actions you take now.

Are yourself worrying a bit, possibly feeling a lack of self-confidence in career or business? There could be some doubts possibly long-standing aspects to your personality rooted in early age about your abilities or where you feel limitations. You want to expand right now, and feel the need to grow and are considering taking new directions in career. Saturn may be making you feel frustrated, and is evident especially at those times when you think you’re making progress. He’s pushing everyone to be more responsible, and work hard to achieve those goals, and although irritating at the time, it’s be for your own good in the long run. Your sense of optimism might be peaking these days, and any setbacks might feel bigger than they are. Issues at home may be in conflict with career goals. Although there is tension, stay optimistic, Jupiter is powerful and in the 10th house you have strength and abilities to really grow. Take any responsibility and limitations as a gift to get you clearer on your direction.

Be true and kind to yourself and others. Share what you love and care about and make those personal connections that will make you feel good.

See you at the Full Moon in a couple weeks.

NADIYA’S ZODIAC STARCAST BY NADIYA SHAH, M.A.

THEME OF THE WEEK:
This is one powerful week, the kind that can stand out in our minds marking when everything changed significantly for the better. The tide turns in many ways, as major surprises are just the beginning. Listen to life to take advantage of sudden opportunities. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19):
In an instant, you see clearly what was for too long evading you. You were created to do something very special. Although it is different than what you had considered, you see that it is better than anything you could have planned yourself. With your fresh insights, a new life awaits.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Writing has been advocated as an aid to the process of forgiveness. Also recommended are primal therapy, traditional counseling, and even rigorous exercise. Right now, it is less about methodology and more a surprising insight that grants you a wonderful release from resentments.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
In a second, an entire life can change. Also in a second, a choice can be made that leads to something so inspired, so moving, you wonder why you ever waited. You are ready to take a great leap of faith in the direction of a grand dream. The decision matters most.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):
You’ve been determined and focused on a goal. The path has taught you many things about yourself. That was always the point. Now, in an instant, you see another way. It could be a different path or another goal altogether. A sudden opportunity is inspired and good.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Traveling has a way of bringing out a whole other side of us. Some find themselves more fearful. However, for you it is your adventurous spirit that comes forth. A sudden opportunity for a grand new adventure is on the horizon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
To be a survivor is also to be someone who thrives. You recognize that it’s not enough to just live, but it is celebrating life that matters. You are now realizing that the hard times of the past are behind you. Events this week prove your life is measurably better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
We look at others in the throws of love and shake our heads, promising we would never allow ourselves to be as silly. We forget the feeling of what it was like when we were there. You may surprise yourself by the intensity of your own reactions. Enjoy the ride.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Something truly experimental helps you exponentially this week. That doesn’t mean you need to seek out the wackiest health craze, but it does mean being open to alternatives that could help you take better care of your body.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Sometimes, we can be determined to have fun, but life has other plans. Other times, like now, your fun has a grand purpose. A quick opportunity to join the party and celebrate all the things you enjoy may find you rather quickly. Say yes to the invite.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Your parents and your past are asking for your attention. Your relationship to your closest and oldest family members can go through a quick change of roles. Accept what is being asked, but do provide a sense of safety and well being to yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
You are establishing yourself a voice as an innovator. Your mind is on fire and the brilliance coming forth is inspired. This time is filled with random conversations and connections that will drive home how futuristic your thoughts can be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
There are those who write odes to money in the form of songs, poems, screenplays, and scripts. Some celebrate it, others lament. It is, ultimately, a part of living in the world. After this week, you are going to have to find a way to live with more of it.
