Tip of the Week:

Harvest time and so on aligns with ‘back to school’ and work, organization and analytical characteristics of Virgo. So, analyze this: In the Natural Zodiac marked by the Solstices and Equinoxes, we get 4 seasons divided by 3 = 12. 360 degrees of a circle is also the measurement of a cycle, divided by 12 = 30 degrees. This division is archetypal and the significance of it is revealed in Astrological practice. The 365.25 year cycle of the Earth around the Sun, though we experience it the other way around, is also natural yet it is not archetypal. It is particular to our Earth; a cosmic anomaly…? Interestingly, 364 divided by 28 = 13, linked to the Moon. Many assert that the calendar should be lunar and not solar. This would make the calendar much more even and rhythmic; the day of the week and the date in the year would always be the same. Some say that because we are not in-tune with this calendar, we are confused, excessively materialistic and out of balance. Arguably, the repetitive cycle of the 13 Moon Calendar might produce an even more fixed pattern. So, which should it be - a solar or a lunar calendar?

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Should I work, or play, or both? Such questions are on your mind. Striking a healthy balance is ideal. After all, do we live to work or work to live? Creating a healthy lifestyle rhythm is wise because health is a key to enjoying life. Discerning what you must verses what you choose to do could lead to illuminating ideas and new choices.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Sometimes we feel the love more than others. This often leads to wanting to express ourselves creatively. Bathing in the feeling is good too. With your energies running high you are in the mood to tackle projects. Be careful that your ambitions do not exceed the time and energy required to complete things. Aim to do something you want verses what feel you ‘have to’ do.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
