Aries Weekly: August 21 – August 27, 2011

On August 21, 2011, in Aries, by David Shepard

Sunday August 21, 2011
Today, recognition comes from authority figures; it comes because of your extra efforts, timely solutions, or more significantly because of your openness and freedom from bias.  The overcoming of sociocultural prejudices is always a ‘divine experience’ indicating that you’re truly “on the path.”   You may have to delay a fun outing to handle a difficult matter now.  Your success lies in standing up for yourself and what you believe.  Accept a challenge; it could reignite a derailed long-term goal.

Never underestimate the power of the imagination to provide insight and a path through the toughest of challenges.  Today’s flight of fancy, properly entertained and mulled, will stand you in good stead.  It’s best to not force issues with VIPs now, even if it seems you have the upper hand, you need a hand:  Let your hair down, relax and go within.  A social call or gathering is perfect for making you feel like your self again.

Today, even though life may seem like that proverbial merry-go-round, you can still “grab the brass ring”—be successful and find fulfillment.  If you take the time to “get in sync” with what’s happening, both in regards to your inner and outer life, you’ll find yourself riding this challenge out and attracting the support you need to nail your goals.   Stay on your toes; a higher-up or business venture may suddenly line your pockets.  Being with VIPs nets you inspiring ideas for career growth.  This evening, a discussion with friends has lucky results.

Today, you’re learning how to be at-one with the cyclical forces of change—to go with the flow, even when others may be panicking, and running around in circles.   Make work into play by injecting it with creativity and fun; you’ll get good results, too.  Your swift approach and straightforward requests deliver the “goods” you desire.  Movers-and-shakers will notice the quality of your calm openness and reward you.  A public arena teems with opportunities to brainstorm or make valuable contacts.  Eating  right and exercising prevent burnout.

 

Thursday August 25, 2011
Creativity is a combination of elements:  playfulness, a burning drive for emotional self-expression and a heightened sensitivity to the cultural standards of excellence and beauty.  Today, you have all these drives going on simultaneously.  Allowing for delays and not taking on too much all at once helps you to make more progress than you originally expected, and keep your spirits high.  An agreement falls into place as rapport with a partner, date or close ally grows.  Others’ input helps you with a decision.

 

Friday August 26, 2011                   Mercury goes Direct
There’s an ongoing tension of great importance that’s surfacing now:  Authority and “tradition” as opposed to authenticity and “originality.”  Today’s surprise developments may trigger sudden twists and turns:  You’re on a tightrope, with time-tested methods as your safety net.  Just be yourself and you’ll brilliantly stay aloft.  A work-related or domestic issue profits because of your key decision.  You easily refine plans through conversations, calls, and e-mails you receive.  As you air your desires, a lucky break helps fulfill them.

The mind operates almost completely in the everyday world of conflicts and duality.  It’s most critical role in the ego’s transformation is making the jump beyond this maya to the realization that opposites are complementary aspects of the one, all-encompassing Reality.  Today, your mind is “self-transcending” and gives birth to true understanding.  The tensions of the past week will be let go of, as you look forward to many new beginnings in the month ahead. Outdoor activities or sharing interests with others helps you build rapport with key people.  You’re playful, competitive energy shines through now—think in terms of “living life large,” and you will!
