Libra Weekly: Jan 30 – Feb 5, 2011

On January 30, 2011, in Libra, by David Shepard

Sunday January 30, 2011
Difficulty at the beginning; but hang in there. The first two days of this week are the most challenging. A real pulse is that both days have a similar theme to them, so if you’re awake to what’s going on below the surface on Sunday, you’ll have a good idea of how best to meet and defeat the challenges that pop up on Monday.

Creation entails transformation; the reformer must be a transformer—totally and completely open to the spirit that “makes everything new.” Whether helping to build a new society, or renewing your sense of Self, developing the attitude of the artist is essential to success. Family or partnership dissent may build up today. You gain by expressing your caring side, not giving in to anger. Capitalize on your highly creative thinking and romantic allure now—it will pay off.

Monday January 31, 2011
Today, you’re percolating with ideas, and feel a real need for a new form of self-expression. Tradition can be glorified sentimentality or suffocating dogma, but now you’ll find it “sheltering” and supportive—a set of guideline to be relied upon, and inspired by. How you look and act is important now. It may be beneficial to bring a fresh approach to a project or a situation that has stalled. You get more done by giving free rein to your creative ideas and impulses.

Holy Ground Hog Day! This is one of my most favorite holidays of the year. See if you can feel our collective energy begin to stir. Today, your creative/ romantic imagination is being triggered; have a heart-to-heart with your Muse, and the inspiration you’re seeking will surely follow. But remember, in dealing with the Muse it’s very important to be clear in what you’re asking for: Do you want to actively advance the experience of Beauty in the world around you right now? Or, do you want to have an elaborate, pleasant daydream that you’ll strive to realize sometime in the distant future? The areas in which your Muse is most tuned in now are with respect to self-expression, romance and risk-taking.

With many of the tensions of last year behind you, revitalize your spirit by shifting into a “new- beginnings-frame-of-mind.” Your psyche is in dire need of re-balancing itself in every area of life; so inspire yourself by replacing the grind of work with the playful stimulation of wit, pleasure, and of childlike innocence and curiosity. Accelerating your pace gets a project done and turns up good news about a pending plan. Info you dig up on the Internet gives a risk promise. A love message triggers a breakthrough now.

Today, is the New Moon—it’s the official beginning of your month’s work. This morning, be sure to focus on what’s new and exciting. Mercury and Uranus are sextile (60 degrees apart, which is good) —great for the opening and expanding of new communication lines. This afternoon it may be necessary to air some hurt feelings; if you and another have the emotional courage to search for the truth together, you’re in for a surprise ending, much better than either of you expected.

The balancing desires of the heart are Libra’s stock in trade. Today, you’re in close contact with the collective Unconscious, making your natural gifts all the more apparent and exciting. By quieting your thoughts, even for a moment, you’ll be provided with much insight and wit. Your creative flair and innovative solutions take job or home-related project or renovation to new heights. A fresh idea you debut soars with flying colors. And, your inspired romantic plan rockets to success.

The next three days are cosmically designed to “get your motor running.” No more January blues. Did you feel them? They’re kind of like Monday morning blues, except stretched out.

Behind the many rhythms and drives of individual existence, beyond the child, the adult and the old man, stands the Soul seeking always to manifest itself through the personality. Today, focus on letting … letting your Soul manifest; see if you can observe or enjoy the subtleties of “a divine magic in the air.” Cheerful, energetic and sharply attired, all eyes—and an elusive heart—are on you. Surprising benefits accrue as you boldly seize the reins in work, play or romance. This evening, talking shop pays big dividends.

Friday February 4, 2011
Today’s Sun-Mars conjunction should produce an energy equivalent of downing a couple of Red Bulls. Whoa! Steady, girl. If you manage to stay focused, you’ll fly like the wind.

When mixed with Mindfulness the dramatization of emotions builds excitement and has the capacity to create a spiritual combustion—an incandescence. Today, to best focus your self think in terms of releasing energy: beginnings and endings are accented; tie up loose ends. The artistic touches you add to a domestic project work wonders now. A family issue from the past is resolved after you share from your heart. Lighthearted fun is just what the doctor ordered for all now.

With the Sun trine Saturn and Mercury sextile Jupiter, my advice is to be spontaneous; you can’t help but beautifully express your inner authenticity.

How illuminating the light after the long Dark Night of the Soul! After a major crisis, your battered but unconquered consciousness is finding itself exalted in a marriage of life and love. Let yourself experience the joy and the power of a new beginning; so let the festivities begin! Your charming personality is a hit with all you encounter today. A calculated risk in love or a competition makes you a big winner. Luck smiles on an agreement or partnership forged now.
