Weekly Horoscope

This week starts off on an explosive note, with a combination of planetary oppositions that is sure to stir up your work and your personal life – if it hasn’t already! Overall, the theme this week is tension and change, so feel free to let go of that which is no longer working for you in order to embrace a new set of habits that move you closer to your goals instead of further from them.

On an emotional level, you may feel extra volatile at the beginning of the week thanks to the Full Moon, which was exact on Sunday evening. With this cosmic face off between the Sun and the Moon still lingering throughout all of Monday, don’t be surprised if everyone around you is a bit more touchy than usual.

The energies at work have to do with the individual versus the collective. Where have you been sacrificing yourself and your own personal needs in order to make harmony with the group? At the same time, look out for places in your life where you have been so focused on yourself that you have completely ignored the group and perhaps distanced yourself from your support network and spiritual sangat.

Incidents that arise during this time will point you to exactly where you need to reach out and where you may need to set new boundaries in order to create a more healthy emotional balance with both family members and co-workers.

Consider doing 31 minutes of Kirtan Kriya a day in order to help balance the powerful energies at work. Forty days of this meditation practice will help you break out of unhealthy patterns and reconstruct your life in a way that brings you into greater alignment with your true spiritual purpose.

This week is also likely to be especially volatile thanks to an exact opposition between Saturn and Uranus on Monday morning. These two cosmic giants have been at odds with each other for months, and will continue to do so, thus creating a great deal of upheaval on both a personal and collective level.

On one hand, Saturn is the force of discipline and reason. It represents existing structures and fixed points of view. On the other side of the coin, Uranus is looking to shake things up with its rebellious, eccentric nature – encouraging people to push the boundaries, take a bold, expressive stance and pioneering approach.

With these two forces as odds with each other, you may find yourself split between two worlds. Integration may be difficult as you see how certain parts of your life are coming unglued at the seams. Take note that the solution now is not to try to patch things back together, but instead to let the fabric unravel so that you can start new with a fresh perspective and new network of support. Old ways will no longer work. Let go of that which is falling apart and wait until the dust clears. Then link together with those of like minds in order to create a new foundation.

Your head may be up in the clouds on Wednesday and Thursday, but that’s okay. That’s where it needs to be! Take a break and pull out your journal, paints or musical instrument. Expressing emotions through writing, art, dance and music will not only be cathartic and relaxing, but will help you gain insight as to the next step on your journey.

On Friday morning, stick to your planned routine and don’t try to make any major decisions. This is not a time for meetings or planning strategies. For best results, sleep in! Your get-up-and-go won’t really kick in until mid-afternoon when the Moon changes signs and urges you to take charge.

The weekend is all about action. Get physical! Plan an extended hiking or camping trip with friends and family and have fun. Long walks, trips to the gym, and all types of competitive sports are favored.

If you don’t get your energy out through these healthy expressive means, you may find yourself chomping at the bit with anger or hatred toward everyone around you. Frustration ensues when everyone wants to get to the front of the line and your own impatience only adds more fuel to the fire.

Lovemaking will be steamy on Sunday night thanks to lunar aspects to Venus and Neptune that will help to stir the senses and add an extra dose of passion to the equation. Just make sure the rules are set and boundaries are clear. Little issues may turn into mountains of resentment if communication isn’t open and honest in the moment. Have fun and enjoy!
