Breath in the Autumn Air… 2015

September 1st, 2015 Comments off

AUTUMN

AUTUMN

 The Sun passes through Virgo as the season shifts from summer to autumn. Stern Saturn, which takes twenty-nine years to do a rotation around Sun (spending two and a half years in each sign) makes its full transition from Scorpio to Sagittarius on September 17th, and will remain there until December 2017. (Those with fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius can breath a sign of relief!) Jupiter, which takes twelve years to do a rotation around the sun (spending approximately one year in each sign) recently made a transition from Leo to Virgo, on August 11th. The Virgo essence pushes us to utilize our creativity (realized during it’s transit in Leo) and turn it into real world results. Hurray! Our productivity increases and we derive more meaning from our work. Alas, Mercury does its third and final retrograde of 2015 from September 17 to October 9. This can make communications, contracts (formal and informal), and relationships subject to confusion or misunderstandings. Patience and understanding is key. (Don’t forget, you can always ask someone to clarify what they mean!)

 

See your Autumn horoscope by sign below:

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’re entering a powerful time of strategic growth, Aries. During the previous two and half years significant transformations occurred in how you tapped into and related to your personal power, and then how you connected with those closest to you. Matters around money, wealth, sexuality, marriage, and sacred contracts were a likely theme. Some in-depth soul-searching has resulted in an increased maturity and personal wisdom. Congratulations! Now is the time to take that knowledge and share it with others. As we move through the next two years, you may find you’re attracted to issues dealing with higher consciousness such as religion, philosophy, and psychological and cultural observations. Practical studies and specialized training are good choices. Attaining a certification to support your career might be in the works. A new job and a better work environment are likely now. You’re eager to take care of yourself so you can better perform!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Opportunities to learn more about oneself lay at every curve in the road of life, Taurus. At this particular juncture, you’re encouraged to look at matters around financial security and financial interdependence. Being able to create and maintain a stable environment are key needs for your sign. Consider the resources you have that give you a sense of security, as well as where your resources are intertwined with others. Issues around ‘what is mine’ and ‘what is theirs’ will come to light now. This ranges from the psychic realms, to emotional, practical, and material world issues. (Powerful stuff, hey?) Relationships in all their forms are blessed and encouraged. Romantic connections that begin now may have a ‘fated’ feel to them.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Saturn will be sitting opposite your sign for the next two years, Gemini. This celestial influence can create a certain pressure that your freedom loving nature might disagree with. Just be patient, and everything will be OK. You’re getting back to the basics of who you really are. (I know, I know… You get bored easily, but what could be more fascinating than learning more about yourself?) True tests of wisdom, strength, and courage are never easy. Try to avoid circumstances and people that put undue strain on you. Practices that allow you to get in touch with your heart are where it’s at! You’re getting know yourself at a core level as you rebuild your foundation. These efforts will pay-off big time over the next seven years.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re paving the way for a significant career peak in 2018, Cancer. You’ve got your head in the game and you’re not about to be distracted! Hunkering down and getting the work done in the trenches is what matters. Lifestyle habits to do with your physical health, day-to-day activities, and overall routines are shifting now. You’re keen to take better care of yourself, so any practices that are detrimental or certainly not serving you, are about to be changed. This will not happen overnight (no yo-yo dieting!). It’s about making incremental adjustments over the next two years that become part of the new you. Be open to taking some classes or workshops, you’re eager to learn and try new techniques. Enjoy!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a powerful season for personal growth, Leo. You’re building your stamina and soon to be hitting your stride! You were forced to make a lot of adjustments in the last few years. In particular, responsibilities around home and family were on the table. (Certain relationships may have even changed dramatically.) You’re expanding beyond your current foundation with strength and determination. You’re learning more about yourself and how to best express true yourself and your talents. Any and all kinds of creative endeavor you’ve been considering is about to be sculpted into something you can really work with. (Write that book!) We also see a nice spike in your earnings throughout the winter and well into 2016. Saw-weet!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is critical time of development, both at home and on the career front, Virgo. Responsibilities and circumstances from the outside world are challenging you to be more accountable now. While this may be frustrating at times, think of it as some tough love from the universe. Your innate ability to work hard will shine, and you’re going to see some juicy rewards. It’s key that you tap into your patience. Ultimately you’re building better foundations for yourself and better relationships with others. New relationships that begin now might be more serious or with added responsibilities. Loving energy put towards your home, or wherever it is you deem to be your sacred space (perhaps your bedroom or your office) will nurture your productivity.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re moving into a key time of releasing yourself from unconscious patterns and emotional habits, Libra. Take the time you need to retreat from the grind of life to reflect and consider things. A few evenings on your own to meditate on how you want to grow psychically and spiritually are in order. Throughout 2016 you will see these changes manifest on the physical plane. You are answering a call deep within yourself for healings and healthier connections with others. Improvements to your overall well-being (including health) and your relationships are brewing! This is an excellent time for increased training or education that serves you and your career. You will impress yourself with your stamina and dedication.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’ve taken major steps to create a more solid foundation under your feet, Scorpio. Congratulations. A cautious courage is your mantra now. You’re actively doing practices to develop your awareness and learning what’s really important to you. Cash flow or the pleasures in life that money can buy might be stretched thin over the next two years (yikes!). This is occurring to help you get clear on what really important in life. Such as spending time with loved ones, instead of at the mall. (Not that I’m saying you’re a shopaholic, but you get my drift, right?) A little penny-pinching didn’t hurt anyone. Meanwhile, Jupiter strengthens your spirit and offers you a more expansive viewpoint to any dilemmas you may have. Your problem-solving skills are tops now!

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)

Increased responsibilities and hard work are on the table, Sagittarius. (Wait, don’t run!) Yes, you might feel a bit discouraged, but take heart. You are about to make some substantial, worthwhile changes to your life. (This is a good thing!) You’re getting clear on relationships and career matters that align with your true self. You’re moving towards a stronger future and you need to build that on solid ground. The more you resist or suppress a truth, the harder it gets. So take a deep breath and acknowledge it. You’ll come out of this chapter with a greater understanding of yourself, plus increased maturity and wisdom. Surround yourself with people who encourage you to succeed, because that’s exactly what you’re going to do!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Beginning this fall and for the next three years life goes through a lot of shifting, Capricorn. You’re letting go of circumstances or situations that no longer serve you. Some of these endings are intentional, such as ending a relationship where you realize your needs are not being met. Some adjustments are beyond your control and that’s where it can feel very uncomfortable. Should the latter occur, consider if those circumstances were truly supporting you to grow. Or perhaps a stagnation was occurring. You’re getting ready for an incredibly powerful time beginning in 2018. In the meantime, the decks are being cleared to make way for new starts. You’re preparing for positive changes and significant achievements to your career and your station in life.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

There have been a lot of adjustments to your life in the last few years, Aquarius. This may have manifested as a marital shift, a change of profession or at least to your title, or around your domestic scene and your role within your family and community. While the weight of responsibility may still sit on your shoulders, the benefits of these adjustments are starting to blossom. (Celebrations to follow soon too!) Profound healings and a greater awareness make you a force to be reckoned with. Relationships with others, especially marital and business partners alike, can grow extensively this next year. You are likely to benefit from the wealth of a partner, family members, and friends. Not too shabby!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an important time for you, Pisces. Emotional recovery and psychic restoration are your key themes. You’re in the process of pulling-off the rose coloured glasses and taking a clear inventory of the world you’re living in. This is one of those times where it might feel harder before it gets better, but keep your faith! You’re about to feel so much stronger! This is going to take some courage, so take the space you need to reflect, but beware of the self-pity potholes. Reach out to a friend if you feel those waters rising. As we progress into 2016, healings in all your relationships will occur. Why? Because you’re healing yourself! New relationships that begin now might have a sincerity and spiritual curiosity about them. You’re eager to learn and you’re attracting people into your world are doing the same.
