Thought for the Day- Saturday 12th September

In September, Saturn and Uranus renew their trouble-stirring opposition, briefly becoming more powerful than the healing "triple conjunction" of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron. When we watch the news or see dramas unfolding around us. It may seem as if old problems have returned. But even if you get caught up in the world's upheaval and anxiety, that positive influence will continue to work in the background before it dominates the sky again, later this year. At some point soon, it will touch a sensitive spot in your own full birth chart, triggering a wave of real, fresh hope. I have revised my horoscope calculation service to take this triple conjunction fully into account.

Aquarius

Jan 21 - Feb 19
Aquarius

Your Week Ahead: How useful is a dull, simple block of wood? If it happens to be propping up a table or holding open some crucial door - it has a very positive purpose to serve. You are putting the right thing in the right place now. The process may not seem especially glamorous but it is an immensely constructive one. There is now a real chance for you to banish confusion and chaos from a part of your world, at least for a while. This in turn will allow the growth of something that you have inwardly needed, for a very long time, to nurture. As Saturn intensifies its opposition to Uranus, you need to become ever more sure of what truly matters.



Feb 20 - Mar 20
Pisces

Your Week Ahead: There seems to be a lot at stake. You appear to be in a precarious position that you cannot really turn back from. Rather like a diver at the end of a board, you feel apprehensive. The 'jump' that you are now obliged to make is a big one. At this moment in time, the only logical thing to do is to make it with all your heart, all your soul and most importantly, all your skill. To dwell on fears and minor misgivings is not just wrong, it's dangerous. Summon your confidence, draw on your experience and do your best. It may yet prove a spectacularly successful week. You are not as vulnerable as you fear.



Mar 21 - Apr 20
Aries

Your Week Ahead: What is it that you know now that, just a while ago, you didn't know? Mind if I ask you a question? Are you sure that you know it? I see. Well, actually, that's the wrong answer. Regardless of what it is, it's wrong! If you are sure, you are prematurely sure. See how you feel a lot later on. If you are not sure, you are merely refusing to admit what it is you are sure of! Again, you need to see how you feel later on. Sorry to be so annoying, but deep down you know something. The time, though, is not yet right to concede as much to yourself or to anyone else. Change the topic for now. That's the only right way to proceed.




Apr 21 - May 21
Taurus

Your Week Ahead: Imagine a pauper pushing their possessions around town in a cart. A kind millionaire sends a motorbike to collect this person and take them to a bank where they can help themselves to gold. The pauper refuses to board the bike because they cannot bring the cart - and all that it contains. If you now see yourself as the pauper, your fixed ideas as the cart and this week's excellent, if unplanned for, opportunity as the millionaire's motorbike, you've got the analogy... and the gist of my advice. You need to have vision, faith and the wisdom to recognise a positive possibility this week. Above all else, be adaptable.




May 22 - Jun 21
Gemini

Your Week Ahead: The trouble with surprises is that they are very difficult to plan for. Usually, it is not the thing you are worried about which causes the biggest headache but the thing you are NOT worried about. If you are carefully monitoring a problem, you are far more likely to handle it well if, or when, it gets worse. But a problem for which no provision has been made, is a different kettle of fish. This second kettle may just fall on you this week, but even if it does, you will enjoy having other fish to fry. And as for the first kettle? Well, as long as you remain a little worried about what you are worried about, you need not worry about it!




Jun 22 - Jul 22
Cancer

Your Week Ahead: Life is a mystery, shrouded in an enigma and packed in a box that carries a misleading label. Or so it seems to you at the moment. Soon, though, you should start to feel very sure, clear and determined. If there still seems to be a fog of uncertainty hanging over some crucial situation, just focus like a laser on the one perspective or piece of information that you know you can trust. Make that your priority and the rest will fall into place. You have got a real chance to move away from a painful old problem and enter a brighter world. Muster your inner strength; make a brave decision... then stick to it like super glue.



Jul 23 - Aug 23
Leo

Your Week Ahead: One thing always leads to another but what is it leading to now? Don't completely write off an old investment. It may never pay dividends in quite the way that you once expected it to but that doesn't mean you have been wasting your time. Recent endeavours have taught you a lot. And they have definitely 'come to something'. You now need to review various worldly commitments. You are under pressure and you are beginning to resent an apparent drain on your resources. But you have a big asset that's worth more than you think. An apparently pressing problem is not as urgent as it seems.


Aug 24 - Sep 23
Virgo

Your Week Ahead: Nature abhors a vacuum. Virgos can't stand waste. Put your nature together with the nature of nature and we've got a pretty clear indication of what's happening in your world. You feel obliged to fill up every available inch of space - or moment of time - with something that makes you feel as if you are doing something worthwhile. Sometimes, though, the most useful thing that we can do is slow down, wait to see which way the wind is blowing... and generally resist the urge to rush in where angels fear to tread. Try not to rise to this week's bait. Try not to leap to conclusions. Keep out of arguments. Play a waiting game. And you'll profit.



Sep 24 - Oct 23
Libra

To be a Libran is to be a dreamer, a philosopher, an idealist and, at the same time as all of the above, a cynic! That's what makes it so hard to get to know you, but so rewarding for those who make the effort. You no more believe in 'a perfect world' than in fairies or politicians' promises. Things never go 'all our own way' for long. We either accept this with good grace (and thus enable ourselves to decide that more things are going our way than at first we thought) or we gnash our teeth (and thus miss the hidden advantage in a supposed drawback). Keep a sense of perspective as you tackle a minor nuisance.



Oct 24 - Nov 22
Scorpio

You have not been altogether at your best lately. A succession of awkward factors have sapped some of your strength and caused you to feel besieged. Slowly, you are getting back your energy and your confidence. Within a few more days, you will feel like a new person. Keen though you may be to make this transformation immediately, you are best advised to proceed slowly. Try to do too much too quickly and you may inadvertently reduce the recovery process. Focus your positive energy on that which you know to be most crucial - and leave the rest alone for a while. It will sort itself out in the end.



Nov 23 - Dec 22
Sagittarius

Your Week Ahead: How do you turn a small problem into a big problem? You just let your emotions get the better of you. Vent your rage, say what you secretly think - or do what you know you ought not to. Give in to that temptation to express your anger. Really, there's no great art to any of this. Everything will automatically go from bad to worse the moment you start giving way to your negative mood. And is the reverse true? Can you really turn a big problem into a small one just by rising above it? Yes. Try it this week. For, though there are some real reasons to feel disgruntled, there are even better reasons to celebrate. For the sake of those, relax.



Dec 23 - Jan 20
Capricorn

Your Week Ahead: You are capable of far more than you realise. One reason why you have lately been using less than your full potential is that you have become locked into a stable but stale habit pattern. It has been all too easy for you to 'coast' through life without stretching your imagination or expanding your horizons. It is now, though, as if you are being shaken out of a trance. You may resent the rudeness of the awakening but you will never regret the way your life alters as a result. Embrace the new like an old friend! For in an odd way, that's what it is! Indeed, the only thing that is really new about it, is the way you are looking at it!

Phew!!!!!!!!


Thought my cut and paste finger would fall off doing that!!!!!!

Jump? Feels more like free-falling into the abyss of uncertainty in the pitch dark ...

freefall mode now ... yeah ... uhoh

Yes, I find this one to be very close.

I usually don't pay much attention, but perhaps on this one?
