Astrological Characteristics by Kerry

The full moon in ARIES puts the focus on our SELVES and puts a mirror on all our partnerships and close relationships.  How we see and respect ourselves will reflect the treatment we receive from others – our family, # 1, our significant others and our romantic connections, our children, our friends and our social circle. 
Friends may be in need of healing and the best way to help them might be to set an example.  We can extend ourselves to them so long as we don’t deplete our own recourses.  It’s useless to help people who don’t help themselves.  Some of our associations may need to be let go of for this very reason.  Holding onto those connections to further our social life when it’s taxing our energy can be self (Aries) defeating.
Our health is still a work in progress and we need to reserve our strengths for those tasks most important to personal growth.  Pay extra attention to knees, bones, skin, teeth, and intestines.
Now is the time to rejoice in our spiritual enlightment and transformation.  We have grown a lot over the last 14 years and can embrace new insights both within ourselves and the collective.  We will continue to evolve using the lessons we have learned.
Sexuality is highlighted and can connect us to higher realms.  However, we may need to draw boundaries between friends and lovers.  Expect the unexpected and remain open minded and open hearted.
Finances are not as bad as one might think so long as we don’t spend more than we make!  We must also be cautious with impulsive spending.   Hard work is paying off nicely for those who have put in the extra effort.   We are now seeing rewards for hard work!   Any money constructively spent is good for circulating the economy.  We can learn from the past but let’s not fear it or we’ll recreate a similar situation.
Mercury goes direct on the 15th, meaning it’s stationing (slowing down) this week.  So communication and transportation are still delicate.  Patience will be difficult during an ARIES moon.  Let’s not get in our own way!
Let us use this energy to boost our spirits and better our world!!

LIBRA

Happy Birthday/Solar Return to the lover, charmer, and diplomat of the zodiac! You are on the threshold of a deeply personal transformation, starting in early November. Over the next 15 years you will be purging things from long ago. The ultimate goal may be to emancipate yourself from family or past life experiences that dealt with power and control struggles. There will be a lot of intensity and letting go. Keep a close eye on your blood sugar.
Homes and real estate will be undergoing changes too. You could be moving and/or could purchase a “fixer upper”. Presently, your home and family sector is highly favored until 2009 & you can feel internally optimistic. You might be home schooling, looking at moving to a foreign country, or renewing your faith/spirituality.
In January 2009 the energy shifts to your children and their learning endeavors. Expect good health for them and you may see a growth spurt. Luck and abundance surrounds if you don’t over indulge them.
For single Libras, expect a lot more romance in the new year. You could meet someone foreign, wealthy, spiritual, well traveled, or educated. You’ll still need to be cautious about finding a special someone that seems too good to be true. Rose colored glasses aren’t your friend. At this particular time you may be fantasizing about or dealing with someone from your past, maybe one who has issues? Old wounds may get reopened so you can finally heal them, as destiny smiles on your love life, your children & your creativity! Being honest with yourself will help others be honest with you.
Your work and health sector remains filled with surprises. You’re probably dealing with previous problems at present. You crave independence and freedom and may not appreciate the confines of a regular schedule. There’s a certain anarchy with in yourself that is altering your personal life. Subconsciously you may be turning people against you. You gain the most from working hard behind the scenes.
There’s a lot going on in your life, especially this month, when you are the star of the show! Depression is possible as you try to make sense of all the deeply personal changes you are going through. You may want to keep a journal or write poetry as an outlet for pent up frustration. Persevere as adversity will give you strength! You’ll need it the 20th-31st but your financial picture will benefit at the same time from effort.
Communication and transportation are delicate this month so really watch your words. It’s an excellent time to reconnect or finish up self-improvement projects. You’ll get a boost here after the 18th and you could receive many social invitations.
This is your time! And you are blessed now with the opportunity to learn from past mistakes, take control of your dreams, and build yourself up to new heights! Keep the faith! ARIES
October focuses on all types and aspects of partnerships! Communication may be sensitive and will center on previous discussions. Romance is favored until the 18th and passion is high all month!
Hard work and discipline continue to boost your career and public image. Expect a financial pay off the 25th-31st.
Legal, travel, spiritual, educational, and publishing affairs are highlighted after the 18th. You’re finishing up important things here.
Health issues most likely result from past anxiety, especially the 20th-31st. Pay attention to the whisperings of the Universe to gain insight.
Your own faith comes through helping those in need and it plays a big part in your destiny. Lovers, children, and socializing may be distracting you from your life path. Stay focused!
