Danger above, pleasure below.

Be cautious about the company you keep.
Inconsiderate people will invite disaster.
It will be easy to attract bad people,

This is not the time for frivolity.
Too much of anything will spoil it.
To laugh without consideration.

What good can come of this?

To take on more than one can accomplish
Or to do less than one is capable of

FAMILY RELATIONSHIP:
The third daughter to the second son.
She laughs. He will criticize.
She throws herself into the game of life.
He tends to brood and disassociate.
He will impose limits on her enthusiasm.
Her playfulness will rarely find approval.
She pushes the limits of what is right,
He will be blamed.
She says what she shouldn’t.
He says what he doesn’t want to say.
Silence would be an improvement.

ZODIAC CONSIDERATIONS
Dangerous impulse.
One puts one’s own ideas first
And moves forward at any cost.
One steps on the sensitivities of others
And even threatens their security.
One laughs at criticism.
Performance will suffer.

THE LINES

Nine in the second place: (13° - 14° Aries)
One comes with confidence
And is ready to play.
Enthusiasm exceeds its proper limits.
Someone takes offence.

The second place: 13° - 14° Aries: 43. Breakthrough, Resoluteness
Creative breakthrough.
One pushes forward
With confidence and encouraging words.

Nine in the second place:
Firm where one should be receptive.
One moves impulsively.
Integrity is diminished.
Others are shocked.
They will not help.
They may go out of their way to hinder.
Misfortune.

The hexagram of Limitation holds a special message for the world. Its symbol is that of dangerous water (abyss) above and of the lake (joy) below. The lake can only hold so much water! This represents a time when lakes are flooding and dangerous water threatens what is usually enjoyable.
This comes so close to the salt water being used on top of the normal water to cool the nuclear reactors in Japan. Dangerous waters overflowing!
Caution about what goes into the mouth and what comes out of it is mentioned. How appropriate for Japan where both water and food are contaminated and people are living out in the cold with little shelter and no food. Limitation indeed!
There are also warnings about inappropriate behaviour as questions about the value or truth in the information about vulnerabilities arise.

In the Arab world danger has also arisen in the form of popular uprisings. Danger has surged up and is threatening to run out of control, beyond acceptable limits. The balance of world power has shifted upon dangerous grounds filled with discontent and agreement.
In a time of limitation, one comes to be wary of who is limiting who, or what is limiting what.

There is a strong need for discrimination rather than impulse. Fools rush in is the motto of Aries. Wise men don’t!

On a personal level the message is to curb our indulgences and indiscriminate activities. This is a time when worries and negative thoughts seem to overwhelm our ability to rest content. In China there is something known as Smiling Meditation which aims at removing doubts and negative thoughts. At the same time, when a tsunami is coming, one needs to run and move out of the way.
How to avoid conflicts and the empowering of rage or prejudice?
Discontent and envy are terrible states of being. They lead to darkness and danger. The spiritual challenge here is to maintain inner contentment and calm and to avoid increasing the danger and darkness. Oh where is compassion when it is so needed?
Even amidst the dangers, waves of information on the web and social media, encourage dangerous reactions.
Inner truth and inner peace are called for. Who will be the first to forgive?

In the horoscope of this new moon is great volatility and instability. The world is in shock and catalystic change. Few are willing to compromise. Fewer still can envision how to heal these rifts and minimize the repercussions. It is more important to share what one has with those who need, than to hoard or protect things for oneself!

In this dark and volatile time it becomes very important to light up the darkness. The power of prayer and of chanting can revitalize the heart and clearly direct the mind. A beautiful song can heal or restore the soul. Can you maintain an inner positivity and avoid empowering the negativity without. Can you meet force with peace? Do you understand the limitations of your own life? Can you avoid following the negative gossip about others?
Food, water and good will can restore peace. Chanting can help us to maintain a positive heartfelt stance in the face of negative information. If action is required, it would be useful to consider how to make things more peaceful? How do we help rather than hurt? Very little good comes from anger, rage and impulse.
By chanting and taking time to meditate or pray on this new moon, perhaps, we can restore some peace in our immediate circle and associations. Perhaps also this can spread around the neighbourhood and even the world.

THE LINES

Six in the fifth place: (13° - 14° Pisces)
What is right is challenged.
One does not take a stand.
Illegitimate temptations arise.
Do not act.
Hold on to what is proper and right.
Blame will be placed where it is deserved.

The fifth place: 13° - 14° Pisces: 23. Splitting Apart
Splitting apart!
One does not fit in.
One’s initiatives do not find approval.
Let go!
What is meant to fall away, will fall away!

Six in the fifth place:
In a position of authority, one rests content.
The standard is weakened.
The worthy are not honoured.
Misfortune.

At a time when fires of seeming revolution are raging on the planet, a concern arises over the consequences. The fires of self righteousness can burn ferociously if not kept personally in check. Most of the revolutions to topple the old apparent dictators are leading extended periods of military rule. The danger is that the loss of freedom could be greater in what follows. Likewise many of the rebellions and disruptions are based on a rapidly increasing cost of food. Unfortunately these very acts of defiance will probably lead to periods of starvation and poverty. The rich will spend more of their money to buy food, but what will those who have little or no money do?
How can one feel comfortable or at peace when people are starving ….. when even one person is starving?
Can anyone see the light? Will we simply close our eyes to the poverty in the world that is not being shown in the media, but is understood to be prevalent?
Increasing pollution diminishes the quality of food and lives. Controlling pollution increases prices. Increasing gas and chemical costs add fuel to the fire. It is easy to cast blame and justify a volatile response. However, what is needed here is a little consideration and kindness.
Never mind casting blame. Can compassion be found anywhere? It seems to be losing presence even in religions. There are fires that burn without, and there are fires within. Which one are you concerned with? It is one thing to benefit from the light and warmth of a fire. It is quite another to get burned. Very little good will ever come from anger and rage.
We are in an era when we see so much, but hide our own personal light. Which visions are true visions? Is the world madly rushing along based on the here say and gossip of facebook and twitter? Is there no perspective or insight?
One thing seems certain. To heal the planet or even just to survive, we will probably be leading more strongly regulated lives. When the freedom without lessens, will the freedom within grow to balance it? How many people are working to increase their inner light and radiance? Really the question becomes, Am I working to increase my inner light and radiance, or am I simply reacting to what images confront these eyes? Is there any depth perception possible here?
These are the challenges.
Amongst the billions of people in the world, how significant is one story? With this new moon in Pisces, a great sensitivity to the sorrows and complications in the world arises.
As we grow spiritually we increase our sensitivity sphere. As we increase our sensitivity sphere, we increase the amount of pain we feel. When we decide that we do not want any more pain we close off our sensitivities. We diminish our pain and we lose awareness. This is understandable but not always acceptable.
Who is more responsible, the insensitive person or the one with greater sensitivities? The person with the greater sensitivities has the greater responsibility because they are more aware than the insensitive person. The gift that the sensitive person has for the insensitive one is the gift of consideration and guidance. ….. not a self righteous guidance but a compassionate one.
On this new moon in Pisces a great sensitivity prevails for those who wish to tune into it. This is a time when personal disciplines, that help us hold to the inner light, will prove most valuable. Countries and political movements fight wars, but ordinary people starve and die. Chanting on this new moon will open ones heart to the light within. If it can guide us through the darkness, will the world be a better place? One candle alone can light up a room, but several candles together increase the light. A candle only sees darkness, but it keeps burning to show the light.
Chanting is one of the most valid tools for maintaining inner light against the storms of outer vision. Prayer and meditation too are most valuable in this regard.
Embrace sensitivity. Protect kindness. Cherish compassion.

ROBIN ARMSTRONG'S ZODIAC PREDICTIONS FOR MARCH 2011

ARIES: MAR. 21 to APR. 20:
This will be a month of significant contradictions for most Aries. On the one hand you will be surrounded by responsibilities and the results of old karma. They are telling you to be cautious and wait. But Uranus will join Jupiter in Aries this month and excitement and the need for change will prevail.
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be a relatively uneventful one for Aries. It represents the calm before the storm. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be a relatively uneventful one, however, it does represent the turning of the tide. From here on excitement will predominate.
Special Focus:
If you were born between Mar. 21 and 23 then you will become very hyper and restless this month. It will be difficult to calm down or sleep. Things are changing fast. Patience will have fallen away. It’s your move. Go for it!

TAURUS: APR. 20: to MAY 21
Your energy level will smooth out this month and it will be easier for you to get things done. You will however be inclined to laziness and overindulgence, as a consequence of which you won’t want to bother with anything. Your battle this month is with sloth and overindulgence. You will gain more from putting out energy than trying to receive.
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be a positive one. You will be highly productive and perceptive at the same time. Act on your ideas. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be positive. Go with the flow.
Special Focus:
Only those Taureans born between May 19 and 21 will still be struggling to get by. Nothing will come out of great expectations, but if you just keep things simple and small they will work out as best as they can. Don’t make promises and try not to lean on others around you.

GEMINI: MAY 21 to JUNE 21:
March will prove to be a mixed bag of circumstances for most Geminis. On the one hand you will be able to get by on charm. A smile will open hearts! But if you take the initiative and try to force things, they will explode on you. This is an easily irritable and accident prone month. Slow down and keep smiling!
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be a stressful one. You will be argumentative and pushy. You will attract adversity but would be wiser to minimize it. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be stressful. People will get on your nerves and vice versa. Keep quiet and move out of the way.
Special Focus:
Those of you born between May 21 and 26 will avoid the above mentioned hassles. You will start to calm down and you will regain your sense of humour. You special gift of being able to make people laugh will come to the fore. Enjoy yourself and cheer up those around you.

CANCER: JUNE 21 to JULY 23:
Performance wise this month promises to be positive and easy going for Cancers, however there is still a marked capacity for exaggerating your worries. Don’t talk about what worries you and you will solve half of your problems. Move away from big schemes and expectations and you will solve much of the remaining half. Don’t worry. Be Happy!
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be a positive one. Trust your instincts. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be positive but their will be sudden changes in the wind. Be physical more than mental.
Special Focus:
Those Cancers born Between June 21 and 23 will be significantly wired this month. So much is happening that it will be hard for you to get any sleep. The more you worry about others, the more you will be let down. Let go! Don’t look back! Don’t throw good energy after bad.

LEO: JULY 23 to AUG. 23:
Your temperament will improve this month but your vanity will increase. It will be better for you to put out energy than to try and collect rewards. You will be inclined to overspend and overindulge. Bide your time. You ability to communicate gets highlighted in the last half of the month. A fool and his or her money will soon be parted!
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be an uneventful one. Relax and enjoy yourself. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will be an easy one for Leos. Go with the flow, but pick up your own tab.
Special Focus:
Those Leos born between Aug. 21 and 23 will be out of focus and most likely out to lunch this month. No one around you is reliable and neither are you. There is no need to feel sorry for yourself, but there is a need to restore self reliance and simplicity. Don’t make promises or big investments.

VIRGO: AUG. 23 to SEP. 23:
These are the dark days of winter for Virgos. You energy level is low and your will be prone to colds. Pump up the vitamin C and the zinc. It will be easy for you to lose your temper and blow up at people working with you. This is not a good idea! Give yourself extra time to get places and try to help others rather than cast blame. A good night’s sleep will work wonders.
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be most irritable and low energy one. Keep your thoughts to yourself. Maintain a low profile. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be an irritable and low energy one. Your feelings will be accentuated and you will be inclined to over react. Chill out! Take a cold shower. Just back off a little and things will work easier.
Special Focus:
If your birthday falls between Sept. 21 and 23 then you will be in shock and anxiety until the 11th when the tide turns and the pressures lift. At least you will be able to calm down a little. Let go! Don’t look back! It is time to start acting independently in a new direction. Don’t wait for others.

LIBRA: SEPT. 23 to OCT. 23:
This March brings with it a marked tendency to exaggerate. You would be wise to be sparing of words. The more you speak, the more misunderstandings are likely to occur. You need to adjust your outlook on things. You need to have a sense of where they are leading to and what will happen before you get involved. A little restraint will go a long way.
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be an uneventful one for Libras. You will be appreciated by your friends. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be an uneventful one. Keep aloof and move out of the way of loud and aggressive people.
Special Focus:
If your birthday falls between Sept. 23 and 25, this will be a month when Murphy’s Law will prevail. You will be walking on thin ice. You will be let down by others. Let go! It is time to take on new priorities. Don’t throw good energy after bad. Don’t look back!

SCORPIO: OCT. 23 to NOV. 22:
This month there will be smooth and steady progress amidst some personal discontent. It will be easy for you to take the initiative and get things done. It will be difficult for you to cut back on personal indulgences. Splurge spending could prove costly. Put your ideas into action but don’t get too comfortable.
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be will be a positive one. Trust your instincts and go with the flow! The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be a positive one. Don’t slow down now! Be physical rather than emotional.
Special Focus:
If you were born between November 20 and 22 then this will be a gullible month for you. You will be easily tempted and deceived, as much by yourself as by others. This is a good time to lie low and stay invisible. If you want to do something, go somewhere where you can help others. Big schemes and unrealistic expectations spell trouble. Keep aloof!

SAGITTARIUS: NOV. 22 to DEC. 22:
You will be popular this month, but it looks like you will be trying to do too much. You will be scrambling in too many directions and will easily lose your patience. The first half of the month will be more problematic than the last. Keep your comments to yourself. Expect mechanical problems and delays. Drive carefully. If you get angry you will have already lost the battle! Try to keep well rested and the advantage will be yours.
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be a stressful one for Sagittarians. Unexpected changes will disrupt your plans. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be stressful for you. Don’t force issues.
Special Focus:
Those Sagittarians born between November 22 and 30 will have the best of energies this month. New opportunities will be coming your way and the general adversity will have passed for you. Communication will be highlighted. Get out there and express yourself.

CAPRICORN: DEC. 22 to JAN. 20:
This month Capricorns will be productive and will make active progress but there will likely be collateral damage. Problems will arise over misunderstandings and questionable priorities. One action is worth a thousand words, and this month every word spoken will likely attract two or more in dissention. Be decisive. Take control. Just don’t try to explain!
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be a positive one for you. Put ideas into action. Communications will be successful. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be a positive one. Be active but don’t draw attention to yourself.
Special Focus:
If your birthday falls on Dec. 21 or 22 then these will be days of sudden change and shock. Expect the unexpected. Others will likely let you down. The more you make a fuss the more you will lose. The faster you can let go of what no longer belongs, the better things will be. Let go! Don’t look back!

AQUARIUS: JAN. 20 to FEB. 19:
Your peak of passion has passed. The forces within and around you will calm down a little. This will be a good month for you as there will be little or no adversity. You will find that last month’s surge of power will be replaced by magnetism and charm. Appreciation and satisfaction will be close at hand this month. You just need to relax a little and enjoy it.
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be an insignificant one for most Aquarians. Just go with the flow. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will also be insignificant. There will not be any interference. Your popularity will be accentuated.
Special Focus:
If you were born on Feb. 18 or 19 then this will be a very romantic and adventurous month. You will be looking for a dream or romantic adventure and one is likely to come. This will be a time of vision quest for you. The great dream is happening now! Will you go with it or fight against it? This is one month when your heart will probably dominate the mind.

PISCES: FEB. 19 to MAR. 20:
The Force will be with you this month. It is time to take the initiative and make things happen. Your patience will be at a minimum but your ability to be assertive will be at a two year high. This is no time to run and hide, but rather a time to will, to dare, and to conquer. How much guts will you have? What will you dare to do? Momentum will be on your side. You just have to make use of it to reap the benefits.
The New Moon of Mar. 4th will be the most impressionable and significant one of the year. Trust your instincts! This really does mark a significant new beginning. The Full Moon of Mar. 19th will bring contradictory energies your way. You will be assertive but you can also expect some criticism from people close to you. To them it will seem as if you are acting out of character. My advice is “Seize the moment!”
Special Focus:
If you are a Pisces and were born in February then this will be an easy going month where you will be able to make some smooth moves. There is no need for you to be over aggressive or forceful. Just stay cool and things will work out alright. Your magnetism will increase as the month evolves.

CHANTING HARI OM Newsletter, February 2011

ROBIN ARMSTRONG'S ZODIAC PREDICTIONS FOR 2011

ARIES: March 21 - April 20
2011 will be a year of exciting opportunities for Aries, especially during the first half of the year. New horizons are opening up for you, and they will be good for you. The biggest challenge will be one of patience. There is a need to bide your time and complete old commitments so that they will no longer be able to impede your progress. When opportunity knocks, take advantage of it, even if it means there will be more work to do.
Your most stressful times will be from Jan. 1 to 15, and from Aug. 3 to Sept. 19. Your most harmonious times will be from Jan. 15 to Feb. 23, Jun. 20 to Aug. 3, and from Sept. 19 to Nov. 10. Your most powerful and energetic time will be from Apr. 2 to May 11 when Mars will travel through Aries.
Special Focus: If you are an Aires born in April, then 2011 will be a year of patience first. Your old cycles are finished. There is a need to look for new directions. It is important for you to clean up the old before moving on. You do not need more commitments but rather more time for yourself. If you were born in March your life will be both exciting and challenged. There will be some confrontations over your new directions. Be true to yourself and don’t sell out!

TAURUS: April 20 - May 21
The first five months of the year will present challenges of timing to Taureans. If you push for what you want too quickly or too forcefully you will actually push it further away. It will be difficult for you to wait, but a little pause to be more prepared will be worth its weight in gold. In June Jupiter enters Taurus marking the luckiest time in 12 years. Opportunities will come knocking. Are you ready to open the door?
Your most stressful times will be from Jan. 15 to Feb. 23, and from Sept. 19 to Nov. 10. Your most harmonious times will be from Jan.1 to 15, Feb. 23 to Apr. 2, Aug. 3 to Sept. 19, and from Nov 10 to the end of the year. Your most powerful and energetic time will be from Apr. 2 to May 11 when Mars will travel through Taurus.
Special Focus: If you are a Taurus born in April, then the good news mentioned above will be specifically true for you. This is a year when new horizons will open. This can mean a raise, a better job, a new home, a new family member and it could even imply a special trip or holiday. The tide will turn in your favour in June. Get prepared to become proactive. To be lazy here would be sad and it could add inches to your waistline.

GEMINI: MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Good luck and positive instincts will finally return to Geminis this year. Years of being over-extended and scrambling are now passed. Now you can look forward with optimism and excitement. The tide has turned. Your ability to assess who is worthy and who is not will improve and with it your fortunes. You will start to attract a better quality of friends, and a better quality of options.
Your most stressful times will be from Feb. 23 to Apr. 2, and from Nov. 10 to the end of the year. Your most harmonious times will be from Jan.15 to Feb. 23, and from Apr. 2 to May 11, and from Sept. 19 to Nov. 10. Your most powerful and energetic time will be from June 20 to Aug. 3 when Mars will travel through Gemini.
Special Focus: If you were born between June 17 and 21 the first two months of 2011 will be unstable and chaos prone. You are the last of the Geminis to have to let go of the past and who still have a little shock as therapy. This is the last hit. By March it will be behind you and not return. Maintain a low profile until Spring and then catch your wave!

CANCER: JUNE 21 - JULY 23
2011 will be a year when most Cancers will need to be defensive and restrained. It will be the things that you work hard for that will bring you rewards. There will seem to be many new opportunities arising in the first half of the year, but you will need to be wary of them and avoid acting on impulse. In the second half of the year opportunities will be more positive and promising.
Your most stressful times will be from Jan. 1 to Jan. 15, and from April 2 to May 11. Your most harmonious times will be from Feb. 23 to April 2, May 11 to June 20, and from Nov. 10 to the end of the year. Your most powerful and energetic time will be from Aug. 3 to Sept. 19 when Mars will travel through Cancer.

Special Focus: Those Cancers born between June 21 and 26 will find that Murphy’s Law will rule this year. There will be sudden letdowns and shocking reversals. You will be unstable this year. Other people will likely let you down. It is not advisable for you to speculate. If you don’t set yourself up you will not be brought down. You need to let go of what no longer belongs!

LEO: JULY 23 - AUGUST 23
The first half of 2011 will be positive for most Leos. Opportunities will arise spontaneously. This could lead to some special trips or new friends. There will be new life and a new spark in those Leo eyes. Go with it. Make the most of it. In the last half of the year there will be too much going on. You will be vulnerable to exaggerating and will likely run into or generate misunderstandings. Enjoy your year. Be direct but don’t over-embellish.
Your most stressful times will be from Jan. 15 to Feb. 23, and from May 11 to June 20. Your most harmonious times will be from Apr. 2 to May 11, and from June 20 to Aug. 3. Your most powerful and energetic time will be from Sept. 19 to Nov. 10 when Mars travels through Leo.
Special Focus: If you were born between August 20 and 23 then 2011 will be a confusing year. Remember that you are a Leo and not a follower by nature. You need to strive for simplicity and self reliance. Every time you rely or expect someone to come through you are likely to be let down. Don’t make big promises or hold big expectations of others. Just keep things simple. Remember, all things pass in good time.

VIRGO: AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 23
During the first three months of 2011, the last remaining vestiges of adversity and undue stress will fall away from Virgo’s. Finally a year has come when fortune smiles and tensions fade. The last half of the year will be better than the first half. Personal efforts will succeed this year. Any preparation and training you have will begin to pay off. Others will feel that you are good to be around. This year, Virgos are a good investment.
Your most stressful times will be from Feb. 23 to Apr. 2, and from June 20 to Aug. 3. Your most harmonious times will be from Jan. 1 to 15, May 11 to June 20, and from Aug. 3 to Sept. 19. Your most powerful and energetic time will be from Nov. 10 to the end of the year when Mars travels through Virgo.
Special Focus: Those Virgos born between Aug. 23 and 25 will run into a confusing period from April to August. This will be a time when you are gullible to deception from within and from without. This is a good time to lie low and avoid big schemes. Just trust your own efforts and avoid speculation. Don’t make promises and keep things as simple as possible.

LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 23
These are the days of decisions for most Librans. Saturn is in Libra and forces a more responsible and hard working approach to life. Define new goals. The busier you keep and the harder you work, the clearer your vision for the future will become. Don’t worry about increasing responsibilities. Worry if things start to slack off. You will start to see people differently and will understand the implications of their actions before you get involved. This is one of those years when a little elbow grease pays off.
Your most stressful times will be from Jan. 1 to 15, Apr. 2 to May 11, and from ug 3 to Sept. 19.Your most harmonious times will be from Jan. 15 to Feb. 23, Jun. 20 to Aug. 3, and from Sept. 19 to Nov. 10. There will be no excessively powerful time this year as Mars will not enter Libra.
Special Focus: If you were born between Sept. 20 and 30 then 2011 will be a year of power struggles and confrontations. You will be doing a reality check or audit of your life. Most likely there will be a battle of wills with someone close to you. Don’t run or sell out. Just stick to what is true and let the chips fall where they may. Do not run from power or the consequences will be worse. Stand up for yourself and the adversity will left next year!

SCORPIO: OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 22
There will be more progress for most Scorpios this year than there has been for many years. Progress will come from consistent efforts; from efficiency rather than sarcasm or complaints. You will get paid for the things you do, and not the things you promise to do. Still there is a need to be discriminative about the people you associate with. You will also improve your karma by helping others. A smile will win hearts!
Your most stressful times will be from Jan. 15 to Feb. 23, May 11 to Jun. 20, and from Sept. 19 to Nov. 10. Your most harmonious times will be from Jan. 1 to 15, Feb 23 to Apr. 2, and from Aug. 3 to Sept. 19. There will be no excessively powerful time this year as Mars will not enter Scorpio.
Special Focus: If you were born between Nov. 17 and 21 Neptune squares your Sun making you gullible and vulnerable to delusion for the first three months of the year, and then the fog lifts and clarity will return. If you have something special that you really want to do, wait until Spring. Until Spring time comes, you will feel either lost in space or fanatically judgmental. Either way, you must wait till the obsession eases before you proceeed.

SAGITTARIUS: NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 22
This will be a year of small delays and big opportunities for Sagittarius. The first half of the year you will be luckier than the last half, so if there is something that you really want to do, the sooner you do it, the better it will be. You will be inclined to move on impulse. If something better than what you have opens up, then you would be wise to go for it. It would be a mistake to procrastinate this year.
Your most stressful times will be from Feb. 23 to Apr. 2, June 20 to Aug. 3, and from Nov. 10 to the end of the year. Your most harmonious times will be from Jan.15 to Feb. 23, Apr. 2 to may 11, and from Sept. 19 to Nov. 10. There will be no excessively powerful time this year as Mars will not enter Sagittarius.
Special Focus: There is very little holding Sagittarians back this year, but if you were born on Nov 22 or 23, then there will be a period from April to August when you will be vulnerable to deception and confusion. You will need to avoid temptations and big schemes at this time. Someone is likely to be unreliable. Make sure that it is not you. Do not invest or spend money before you have it in your hands.

CAPRICORN: DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 20
This will be a year of strong controls and sudden changes. Nothing will come easily this year. The world will seem to be run by idiots. Expect disruptions to your plans, but maintain discipline. Let go of anything that is no longer worth your time, and hold onto what you value. Hard work will pay off, but others will not seem as stable as you. Good helpers will be hard to find.
Your most powerful and energetic time will happen between Jan. 1 and 15 when Mars travels through Capricorn. Your most stressful times will be from Apr. 2 to May 11, and Aug. 3 to Sept. 19. Your most harmonious times will be from Feb. 23 to Apr. 2, May 11 to June 20, and from Nov. 10 to the end of the year.
Special Focus: Those Capricorns born in January will have a positive year without many let downs, but those of you born in December will still be immersed in conflict and stress. The best way through this is to maintain a sharp sense of truth and let go of whatever is not reliable. Someone is likely to upset your plans. Let go! Let go!

AQUARIUS: JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19
Aquarians will play for the first half of the year and they will be paying for their excesses during the last half. Enjoy yourselves. Make the most of opportunities that come your way. If you get a chance to travel, take it! In the last half of the year the repercussions of excesses will start to show on your waistline. You will have to develop a new understanding and outlook. This is all good. So don’t worry. Be Happy!
Your most stressful times will be from May 11 to June 20, and from Sept. 19 to Nov. 10. Your most harmonious times will be from Apr. 2 to May 11, and June 20 to Aug. 3. Your most powerful and energetic time will happen between Jan. 15 and Feb. 23 when Mars travels through Aquarius.
Special Focus: Those of you born in January will run into exciting adventures and new options. These will arise spontaneously and must be met with enthusiasm to make the most of them. The traffic lights around you will all be green. You are not likely to settle for boredom this year. Be physical! Be active! Take a few risks!

PISCES: FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20
Good fortune will continue for Pisceans this year. You need to follow through on the advances made last year. Your perceptiveness and multi-tasking capacities will give you the edge this year. You need to stay aware of timing, but most struggles will work out in your favour. Maintain defenses but move progressively forward. You are not going back to the old ways. Have faith in yourself!
Your most stressful times will be from June 20 to Aug. 3, and from Nov. 10 to the end of the year. Your most harmonious times will be from Jan 1 to 15, May 11 to June 20, and from Aug. 3 to Sept. 19. Your most powerful and energetic time will happen between Feb. 23 and Apr. 2 when Mars travels through Pisces.
Special Focus: If your birthday is between March 16 and 20 you will start the year with unexpected good fortune. A break through to new and happier horizons is likely. The rest of the year will simply be effort directed towards following through on what is opening up for you. There will be little or no significant adversity in your path this year.

This is the Sagittarius New Moon. It is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of understanding and or misunderstanding. Which do you think predominates today? The New Moon brings a deep sensitivity to the surface. This one brings a sensitivity to misunderstandings at a time when so much is changing and so much misunderstanding and distrust is expressing itself. Jupiter also rules expansion and reaching for new horizons, but it can also be the God of overindulgence and too much joviality.
In our modern world of bitten information, we are being programmed to respond to the events in the world around us in a fearful way. Perhaps this has always been so, but right now it is at a critical level. Everyone has an opinion about what is going wrong around us and what should be done. Unfortunately many of these opinions are narrow-minded and inconsiderate of others. It must be remembered that we share planet with others. We also share responsibilities for it. If you use a telephone, a computer, a television or a car, not to mention a refrigerator, a stove, electricity or gas, then you are just as responsible as everyone else for the state of affairs in the world.
It sure is easy to point fingers, and cast blame. The question becomes, what are you prepared to do without? And what will you do then?
The Hexagram of Holding Together presents the issue well. It shows danger without and around us, and receptivity or vulnerability within. We are all affected by climate change and pollution. We are also responsible for the wars and violence on the planet. There are so many dangers without that we are being overwhelmed in our consciousness by them. This is truly a significant danger. It is so easy to point the finger and blame someone else, or some other country or race for the problems we are encountering. What if it is not correct? What if all the finger pointing just raises more fear and violence? What if we are responsible for it, simply because we are benefiting by it. How many people who own computers will go to bed hungry or in fear of their lives or their children’s lives? Who is responsible for the incredible number of species being extinguished from the planet almost daily? Is there anyone still living in touch with nature and natural ways?
It would be a wonderful thing if on this New Moon we could concentrate on not blaming anyone and sending best wishes for everyone to be able to live better and deal appropriately with the challenges in front of them. What an incredible affirmation that would be!
If what is healing for the world is a bitter pill or creates personal hardship, can it be embraced with a healthy and positive understanding?
Try to understand that everyone has vulnerabilities and help where you can. If you cannot do anything physically or financially, you can always send a prayer or chant a chant for better guidance in the world. Try to understand that everyone out there has a spirit and a heart and that there are many miraculous ways that they are experienced.
This New Moon, send out a prayer for the world. Chant for the benefit of all mankind. God is everywhere and not just on our side! Inside and outside God will prevail. There are not good and bad people. There is good behaviour and ignorant behaviour, and there are also many differing ways and cultures. Everyone puts their head down and closes their eyes to sleep, and everyone is vulnerable when we sleep. At the same time a good night’s sleep is one of the most important weapons we can use for fighting negativity and doubt, and for dealing with the world in a positive manner. Can you curb your excesses and give the world and yourself a good night’s sleep? How often can you do this?

The horoscope for this New Moon in Sagittarius reveals other challenges on our doorstep and in our world. It is a time when harsh judgments will be made that are likely insensitive to individual needs and security. Yes, of course there will be long term repercussions. So what?
Is it any reason to stop your chanting or your prayers? Is it any reason to drop all of your spiritual training and succumb to fear and darkness? Of course not! Do you dare to take a stand and make an effort to stay loving and positive, even in the face of such adversity? Depression is the mask of anger and rage. Anger is the mask of sorrow. Sorrow is the gateway to compassion. Remember that the Buddha in his seeming detachment maintained his compassion for the world.
Also in this horoscope is an indicator of sudden shocks and volatility, or the disruptive use of force. This will be an accident prone time where problems could easily escalate out of control. Will you be able to remain consistent in your spiritual practices? This is a time when holding on to your spiritual disciplines is very important and could represent the way to success. When big ways are blocked, find kindness in smaller ways.
Watch your comments and don’t cast blame. Who is living clearly enough, without guilt, and who could be worthy of casting blame. If someone was living so clearly, they would not cast blame. Even our politicians have been elected and chosen by us … at least in most of the world.
Religious principled understanding is another Sagittarian theme and here also, it is so easy to justify one’s own beliefs and put down everyone else’s. This is a big part of the problem in the world. We have so much information coming to us, one would think that our understanding would grow and become more inclusive and considerate, rather than more fanatical. The people fighting wars believe in what they are fighting for. Is there not any better way?
Keep chanting and sending prayers of light and good will. The spirit of the season is to help and encourage others. From the eyes of God there is no us and them!
Do you think that there is more God here than there? Or in a block of gold than in an ordinary pebble? This is not something to measure, but if we can align to it, this is a bright and healing light.
Whatever your spiritual discipline may be, may you hold to it and may it bring you light and guidance. I deeply respect and bow down to the God in you and in everyone. If you don’t believe in chanting, then even a moment of silence without thinking can bring a great light into life.

For me, chanting is a way of life. It gives me an easy discipline that I can maintain, and that I can always get better at, and it harms no one. I daily repeat chants for everyone I know. It is my way of staying in touch and caring.

Hari Om.

Thursday, November 4, 2010

ROBIN ARMSTRONG'S ZODIAC PREDICTIONS FOR NOVEMBER 2010:

ARIES: MAR. 21 to APR. 20:
For Aries this will be a month of smooth sailing within appropriate limits. There will still be a strong need for caution and self-restraint. If you can be patient you will attract good fortune. The danger is that you will spend too much on the things that you want. Curb the impulse buying and try to stay within your budget!
The New Moon of Nov.5th will be a relatively uneventful one for Aries. Avoid the schemes of others! The Full Moon of Nov. 21st will be a positive one. Try to be of service and help someone!
Special Focus:
If your birthday is between April 1 and 5 then this will be a month when you run into setbacks and limitations. Try to stay calm. There is a need for you to consider retraining. Authority figures will not give you an easy time. Don’t force issues. Take the hit and wait. If you respond too fast, you will make matters worse.

TAURUS: APR. 20: to MAY 21
This month will be much easier than last month. Mars has moved on and you have calmed down. Direct adversity has lifted and new opportunities are rising. During the first week of the month you will be inclined to talk too much or say something that would be better off left unsaid. Keep your thoughts to your self for the first week and good things will begin to come without asking.
The New Moon of Nov.5th will be a difficult one where you will attract deception and dishonesty. Silence is golden! The Full Moon of Nov. 21 st will bring mixed feelings to the surface. You will still be rather gullible!
Special Focus:
If you were born on May 16 or 17 then this is a time of confusion. You will not be seeing clearly and could be taken advantage of. The challenge here is to maintain self reliance and honesty. It would be better to be of service to others for nothing, than to be trying to hussle up money! Avoid big schemes, and intoxicants!

GEMINI: MAY 21 to JUNE 21:
One step forward, five steps back! This is a month for Geminis to regroup and recharge. Stress levels will run high and disruptions are likely. Work on keeping well rested and being courteous.

Give yourself extra time to get places and be prepared to make adjustments. Don’t force issues!

Don’t make promises or big investments, especially during the first two thirds of the month.

VIRGO: AUG. 23 to SEP. 23:
November will start out on a positive note with communications highlights, but as the month develops you will get more and more impatient and easily irritated. Anger management is your theme for this month. Keeping well rested is the cure. Drive carefully and give yourself extra time to get places. This is an accident prone time.
The New Moon of Nov.5th will be a positive one. With a little effort you will be very productive. The Full Moon of November 21 will also be a positive one, although you will have to make an effort to avoid arguments.
Special Focus:
Those of you born between September 17 and 22 will be scrambling and dealing with rapid changes. You could easily be let down by someone or encounter misunderstandings. If you over react or cast blame you will only make matters worse. The theme for you this month is to move out of the way and let go!

LIBRA: SEPT. 23 to OCT. 23:
This month could be summed up for Librans as appreciation within limits! Spontaneous initiatives will succeed and attract rewards. There is no need to force things this month. You will be able to just follow your visions. It is amazing what a little bit of good will and positive action can achieve. You will be popular in the eyes of the opposite sex.

You are doing an audit of your life and may not be happy about it. The main rule to follow is “Be True!”.

SCORPIO: OCT. 23 to NOV. 22:
Your energy level will be good but less than last month. Progress has been made. Go with it. This is a month of following through. Do not be sidetracked into unreliable associations or ventures. The first week of the month will be your best. If you have something to say, say it then! Be wary of people who talk too much!
The New Moon of Nov.5th will be will be the most sensitive and powerful one of the year. The Full Moon of Nov. 21 st will be a special seed moment (day) when new impressions can reveal themselves. Trust your feelings more than words.
Special Focus:
If you were born between Nov. 16 and 20 there will be much excitement and much confusion. You are supposed to go with the excitement and minimize the confusion. New horizons are opening. Align with the excitement but don’t try to explain or make promises.

SAGITTARIUS: NOV. 22 to DEC. 22:
The Force will be with you this month Sagittarians. It will show in the feet and in the jaw! There will be lots of social exciting moments but nothing that you should hold onto. Enjoy and let go! You will be quick witted and impatient. If there is something that you want to do or say… do it or say it this month. If you snooze you will lose!
The New Moon of Nov.5th will be an insignificant one for Sagittarians. Your initiatives will attract appreciation and gain momentum.. The Full Moon of Nov. 21 st will be an insignificant one but there will be power in your words.
Special Focus:
Those Sagittarians born between December 15 and 20 with have many opportunities come t heir way this month,…… really too many! Too many options can cause more trouble than too few. Reaching out in one or two ways would be better for you than reaching out for everything. Be prepared for a fast turn over! Let go of the past! Laugh, you deserve it!

CAPRICORN: DEC. 22 to JAN. 20:
Finish things that need to be finished. Don’t let them accumulate. If you can get these things finished it will clear your mind and make it more receptive to new ideas. Actions follow thoughts. It is worth clearing away the old. Recharge your energies but don’t try to do everything this month. A bigger surge of energy will come next month!
The New Moon of Nov.5th will be a positive one. Feelings will be more trust worthy than thoughts. The Full Moon of Nov. 21 st will also be a positive one. Avoid the complicated schemes of others.
Special Focus:
Those of you born between Jan. 1 and 5 will find that time demands are increasing. You need to work hard this month. At the same time you are trying to cut back or adjust your goals. One step back can lead to many steps forward!

AQUARIUS: JAN. 20 to FEB. 19:
For the first week of November, don’t argue with anyone. If an argument comes up, keep quiet and move away. Your energy level will be great this month. Quick witted and agile, you will be ready to get things done and still have room for fun. If something is going to be a big hassle, then it is probably not worth doing.
The New Moon of Nov.5th will be a stressful one. Don’t trust your instincts. Keep busy. The Full Moon of Nov. 21 st will also be stressful. Follow your ideas rather than your feelings. Stay active.
Special Focus:
For those of you born between Feb. 13 and 15, this will be a most romantic and idealistic month. This is the right time for a vision quest. You can see clearly now, the rain has gone! It is time to start acting on what you believe. Good energies prevail, make the most of them.

PISCES: FEB. 19 to MAR. 20:
This will be an irritable and argumentative month for most Pisces. Nothing will come without stress. A lot can be accomplished if you just work hard, but you will have little patience for any form of delay or interference. This will be an accident prone time, so if you are wise, you will not force issues or complain! Give yourself extra time to get places. Keep well rested!
The New Moon of Nov.5th will be a positive one. Trust your instincts and watch your temper! The Full Moon of Nov. 21 st will also be positive. Instincts will be in high gear, but mental and physical temperament will not. Keep your thoughts to yourself.
Special Focus:
If you were born between March 13 and 20 then the period of excitement and opportunity will continue. Good luck is watching over you. Reach out for new opportunities but do not force issues as that would work against you. Be patient. Take your time. Have faith! If something is really yours, it will come without force!
