Astrology October 2009

astrology signLibra: Lovers (2 of Swords)

9/23 – 10/23
Life demands an active engagement which is often mistaken as activity. To believe that every moment in time must be actively filled in order to be productive is untrue. Unfortunately, most people use this exhaustion as justification to avoid deeper reflection, and then feel helpless in the despair of what they call depression. Ironically, it is wise to pursue this depression as a way of filtering out the superficial concerns of life, for you are constantly impressed with the cares of the world. Make time each day to reflect and regulate your sensitive system. Choose what you want and discard the rest.
