COSMIC HOROSCOPES

Excerpt: "If you care to observe what is going on closely, remaining open and objective, you may draw a certain parallel between your own psychological health and the changes going on in the greater society..."

Excerpt: "You may see in all your social circles that there is a deep, collective need to liberate ourselves from all prevailing social conditioning patterns – especially those that have defined societies and nations..."

Excerpt: "If you’ve been holding onto a set pattern or routine for a long time and life seems to be passing you by, you may find that what you need or want comes to you once you let go of what isn’t working..."

Excerpt: "This lunation should inspire you towards a whole new form or face or mask. Here, it depends on your expectations, and you must first discern whether your idealisation of yourself is actually achievable."

Excerpt: "Although you might wish to dedicate yourself to some work, you may find your experience of work is currently dissatisfying, like you feel trapped by what you do. So how to become free of an imprisoning situation?"

Excerpt: "This lunation asks that you now redefine what it means to be human, living in a fast-changing society. Whatever measures you take to ensure good health, cognition, and work capabilities will compel you to redefine your moral and ethical boundaries..."

Excerpt: "...you may ask yourself just how much what you do and say aligns with higher truths and deeper meanings, and how much just pays superficial lip service."

Excerpt: "You have the capacity to dig deep into your own soul, connect to all mankind’s peculiarities and then share your insights in ways which could help to unlock some of the deepest mysteries behind humanity’s collective wounding..."

Excerpt: "Treat every imperfection as your own distorted projection, and expecting your partners to be ‘the utmost of everything’ and to do all the work to make your life healthy and successful means that you are not working hard enough to make the dream real."

Excerpt: "This lunation hence highlights where you can contribute to life, and with the preponderance of Virgo energies here, your contribution is about reaching up into the higher planes and bringing knowledge down to humankind. It is about offering vital reminders to people about what life is really all about..."

Excerpt: "With Uranus in your sign, you should seize the opportunity and command you possess to shape the next revolution, direct it toward a future that best exhibits your most creative objectives and earthiest values."

Excerpt: "Setting methodical and practical routines in your day will help to offset the confusion and vagueness that threatens to afflict your otherwise robust decision-making processes. The best antidote for worry is to get to work on the problem."

When Mars turns retrograde, his fiery energies become directed inwards. We may start to reflect back on events or incidents where we feel we failed to act appropriately to protect or defend ourselves. What are those instances and what are they trying to teach us in order to move forward?

"In spite of all that’s nagging at you, you may refuse to fully embrace the world and its version of reality because you are aware, if only just vaguely, that the universe encompasses so much more than the rational mind can handle..."

"Whatever you want may seem confounded by that which the universe conspires to throw at you, and you may look at the whole deal and wonder what the world has come to…"

"...though you may imagine that it’s fine to continue living in your own bubble – that just isn’t something which can be sustained for much longer. Before too long, some harsh truths will burst that bubble, and this might hurt."

"it’s likely now that you may be met with those who show all kinds of weaknesses and inabilities to attend to life’s little responsibilities and in your difficulty to accept this, you may automatically apply the improper use of discrimination..."

"If you choose to engage in the interpersonal tug-of-war over things like comfort, security, money, sex, power, etc., you are now, at this Full Moon forced to face and seriously appraise the value of what it’s worth to keep certain relationships and pursuits in your life..."

"Their inability to meet you on your very specific terms may leave you feeling disappointed, cheated, lied to, drained or exploited. In truth, this is simply your inability to read their currently intangible state of being..."

"You want to be taken seriously – now and tomorrow, and this comes with some degree of sacrifice to the ghosts and traces of your romanticised past..."

"...on this Full Moon, the Virgo-Pisces conflict could see this emotional reservedness as one of coldness, and coupled with the Saturn/Pluto in your sign, can come off as you being possessed with a certain callousness. Not true, but then, how do you convey that?"

"...with Neptune at the helm of this lunation, it’s highly unlikely that you’re applying the laws of “manifesting cosmic abundance” without some degree of uncertainty and confusion, let alone seeing your own tendency towards investing into hypocrisy & scandal, even complicity to crime..."

"Nobody knows this with more certainty: that nothing is certain and no law that isn’t based on Neptune’s quantum (not Saturnine Newton’s gravitational) field can ever be applied to you. The best way to protect yourself is to stay as fluid and formless as the ocean itself..."

"To offset the heavy Jupiter/Saturn/Pluto influence, you desire to promise the world to others. This feels completely challenged because deep down, your intentions and plans often fail to take into account that you will, at some point, become swamped by the details and drudgery of execution. So how can you become free of a deeply oppressive situation?"

"It’s just that under the hard gaze of this Virgo Sun, inflamed and aggravated by Mars in Aries, the scrutiny becomes just so intense that you may die of embarrassment or shame to have yourself feel so exposed to the sharp, almost unfeeling measurement of others..."

"If you show any reticence to exercise your own strength, you may tend to act in an over-conciliatory way, feeling left out or underappreciated, which will sap your energy and cause anger and resentment to build up..."

"Establishing a connection to your family roots, background and foundations of your being allows you access to the true source of all your personal power..."

"Sure, you may appear contrary in your straightforward stance, but such perceptions are only in the eyes of those who travel under the hypnotic trance of outdated social paradigms..."

"There is a strange paradox forming: you simply do not wish to be tied down to a particular group identity, and you adopt an attitude which, as Groucho Marx once famously put it: 'I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member'...."

"There is a particular danger– some might even say dread – that all you have come to know and depend upon in your current society, those trusted circles which once provided a steady foundation for you, may be ready to abdicate their loyalty, even betray you as a member..."

"You might learn, either gracefully or in perhaps the most devastating way possible, to humble yourself, atone the preachiness of your tune and, if necessary, learn how to expand your understanding of what is going on, one step at a time."

"It is possible that you feel offended or just rejected, suspecting it is they who are dismissing you. In fact, it’s likely that quite the opposite is true..."

"No, you are not going down as some whiny bimbo. It’s time to look at this a little more spiritually. You are not someone’s subordinate. You are a servant of Spirit..."

"...you are generally acting as a powerful transmitter for both local and intergalactic information. Like a great cosmic WiFi router, your mind is constantly uploading and downloading precious data from the mysterious higher dimensions of the quantum field..."

"Sometimes being brave involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you value, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater..."

"You are a force to be reckoned with, even prone to rise to public notability for the kind of things you manage to accomplish. Much depends on how the world chooses to judge you for your achievements..."

"With Mars squaring all the Capricorn planets, anything at all might happen. Any serious tragedy could manifest from you just giving an inch to someone who cannot be trusted with power.."

"The whole world is suffering now due to failures in the old system of patriarchal structure, and yet you feel this most personally..."

With such a dominant subjective response. as highlighted during this Full Moon, you may lack an objective ability to understand others who have a different nature to your own..."

"To strengthen your personal sense of worth, you may need to apply greater ingenuity and foresight into how your financial position may improve..."

"Your world literally becomes invigorated by the unusual current events and latest activities, allowing your mind to place things into higher context. This can inspire you to develop relationships which are perpetually interesting..."

"This lunation hence marks the high tide of your efforts towards building those long-term, sustainable results. However, it also throws some challenging curveballs your way, just to see how firmly you have cemented your roots..."

"Whilst you may struggle hard not to become discouraged, issues of great contention may flare up and cause dissent among others, especially when you try to impose your own ideas as true and absolute (which to you may seem very likely)..."

"You will notice that you are increasingly sensitive to others’ personal issues and, as much as you may try to stay out of them or superficially appease them, something of substance is needed from your powerfully authoritative, courageous and loving heart..."

"if you become mired in confusion, or ‘taken over’ by powerful unconscious complexes which tend to grip and overwhelm you, then complications could arise which may affect your economic state and ultimately your sense of self-worth..."

"Possibly you are feeling compelled to perform radical maneuvres that create the impression around you of rapidly catapulting into the future. This may sound exciting to some, but to many – especially the conservative types, it could seem a little unsettling..."

"With your ruler Mars currently besieged by Chiron and Eris in your sign, you are developing the persona of a true maverick being, a pioneer of pure revolutionary spirit, bringing new light into an old situation..."

"Nobody has to prompt you about conscientious service or engaging in constructive efforts, but this lunation could either trigger latent, body-stored upsets, or (if you’re more conscious of where you’ve been unconscious) invite whole new opportunities that may not have been immediately apparent..."

"...whilst being reliant on another may be a classic Libra trait, it could, at this time, leave you vulnerable to disappointment and suffering if the relationship shows signs of weakness, or if your partner proves to be less reliable and trustworthy than you believed..."

"...you may begin to bow under the strain of self-imposed restrictions, especially as your tightly kept, instinctive little prejudices considerably diminish your enjoyment of life."

"In some ways, last month’s annular eclipse and this New Moon are providing golden opportunities for you to demonstrate why some things are worthwhile to you and others are utterly worthless..."

"All of your idiosyncrasies – your touchy, sensitive nature, your slightly biased sympathies for this and that, your clutching hold on those who bring you comfort and security all get pressed upon you by the restrictions and limitations of your environment..."

"...you may come to realise that you are gradually becoming emotionally and psychologically depleted and defrayed, not to mention the creepy sensation that you are being played, undermined or taken for a naive fool with a big, generous heart..."

"Complications do arise if, for any reason under this lunation, you feel pressured in some way to demonstrate your sincerity among those you hold precious within your social bubble..."

"With Mars in your sign for the next six months, the frustration and ire are likely to manifest as anger with the system that tries to oppress you and drag you down. Some degree of discipline may be necessary in order for you to secure your emotional well-being..."

"That which lies buried deep within you, things you hold secret because you feel that if they came to light might damage your character or public standing, threaten to surface..."

"If you have developed a strong affinity or connection towards a specific teaching or faith, then be sure that you are not merely hung up on the charisma of its key proponent or guru personality..."

"From here until December, there is deeply psychic activity between you and that which is not you, bringing you into contact with matters which, if not kept under control, could get crazy for you and everyone involved..."

"Sometimes it’s like that. We isolate ourselves so much that we’re the only one left that can tell us anything. It’s lonely at the top. Or bottom. Or wherever you’ve landed yourself."

"If you’re still clinging to a neat, familiar routine that takes you back to when you were a kid, like a mama used to do for you, then expect some ‘papa’ to come to knock you into maturity, hard and fast..."

"You might have noticed, too, that when you get a bit hung up on re-creating a feeling-moment – one that was once warm and insular where you were held so safely, like in your mother’s womb – that this can become quite a bit of a fix..."

This unrequited need for approval from others, as if a child that’s seeking reassurance from his/her parents, will either force you to conform to or contradict others’ expectations of you. In any case, your reaction may be as extreme as the expectations placed on you...

"Some judgement may necessarily be passed, and if you choose to refuse any accusations or charges against you, maintain your freedom, you best have all the facts to back up your defence..."

"Is your objective of benefit to others and the greater good, or are you so caught up in enriching your egotistical profits that you deny others of their power over their resources and their creative autonomy?"

"This Full Moon is cooking up quite a test for you – some event which challenges your current position and your overall stake in the outcome. Do you have a plan on how to maintain your equilibrium in the face of crisis?"

"A question of true authenticity and integrity unconsciously riddles inside you, and you may ask whether you are fit to serve your immense need to accomplish something of real significance..."

"The crux of this is that something has to change with you, and only you can make the decision once you come to accept that it is your subconscious need to confirm your worth by superiority that is causing all the difficulty and confusion..."

"While it feels like you’re under a tremendous amount of pressure to leave your mark, your performance must be coming from a place of genuine flair and creativity, not just another boorish song and dance..."

"Is this world not listening to you? Or are you the one not responding to its desperate cries for a positive change in how things are done?"

"Maybe your efforts to reach out are unrequited, or your current drop of buddies isn’t quite qualified or fit enough to provide you with the strength and courage that you need to move forward..."

"vulnerabilities and insecurities lurking in your unconscious mind begin to influence your moods in such a way that it messes with your sense of confidence and well-being..."

"There may be issues of power and control to contend with, but you must use that power to help transform the world around you, not become absorbed in selfish pursuits and games of domination and control dramas..."

"Should others at all wise up to the notion that you are basing your desired persona on a cleverly contrived, manipulative agenda, then you might sense that it’s time to rethink, review and reform some of those ideas..."

"At some point (in the next two weeks) you will face some intense force to change your ways, which you may see as an affront.."

"If you deliberately set out to compromise your true character, pandering to the whimsical needs of the community - particularly its weak and underprivileged - then your integrity may easily be under question..."

"...lately, the immensely compulsive desire for protection and control can go to extremes when the dramas bust loose."

"You might apply a huge effort to preserve your everyday life as one reminiscent of early home environments, patterns and practices instilled in you during your childhood or past..."

"Strong challenges during this period will stem from areas where your feelings are easily triggered..."

"Seems like your heart matters rule over your mind, and these are at risk of being influenced by prejudices that you may hold..."

"Is your whole world based on a value system that others appreciate and can work with, or are you stuck in the mud?"
