Freya’s Astro Advice

An intuitive reading for each sign of the zodiac…

July 2010

ARIES

5 Swords, Garnet, Choice

This month you are faced with a choice. You can either push ahead with something that you really want to work or you can choose to accept things the way things are and let it go. To decide what is best, put all urgent feelings aside. Once you are feeling calm and centred ask yourself do you really want this? If you have any doubts at all, then it is time to it let go. No doubts? Then stick at it!

TAURUS

Temperance, Jasper, Openness

You are faced with a new situation or emotional state and although you are keen to get involved you are also feeling a little cautious. You can create a balanced approach by remaining open to new experiences while keeping your feet planted firmly on the earth. If you do start to wobble you can ground yourself by going for a walk or gardening. Go ahead and dip your toe in the water!

GEMINI

9 Vesicas, Moonstone, Simplicity

Letting go of old habits or emotional patterns continues to be the theme this month. Lasting change isn’t achieved overnight, you have to nurture the inner garden over time a period of time. It is important that you are patient with yourself while you go through this process and that you take steps to simplify things: Take care of your basic needs for sleep, healthy eating and relaxation.

CANCER

Maid of Cups, Pietersite, Direction

You are well aware that your ‘cup’ needs filling up. Maybe you have already made a decision about how to change things but Pietersite is asking you an important question: ‘Are things like to improve if you follow this path?’ The situation is actually a lot more fluid and likely to change than you realise. Keep decisions loose and take into account the possibility that things may shift over time.

LEO

8 Vesicas, Charoite, New Beginnings

You are starting to build a stronger inner foundation from which to live the exciting drama of your life. This foundation will enable you to begin a whole new chapter and to create the dream life you have always wanted. To make this foundation strong you need to be patient and put lots of work into it. Trust your instincts to guide you along the way and become open to the results you hope for.

VIRGO

6 Swords, Amazonite, Opposition

At the moment you are torn between trying to accept a certain situation and speaking your mind. The way you look at things counts for a lot and much can be altered by a change of perspective. Rather than suppressing what you think you want to say, maybe the answer is to detach from the situation and seek a new perspective on the situation that will enable you to experience acceptance.

LIBRA

3 Vesicas, Mookaite, Challenge

Things are feeling blocked around work, creativity, or a project. There is a challenge that is crossing your path and you are not sure how to deal with it. Typically indecision can be an issue for Librans as you seek harmony and a ‘stress free’ life. Rather than swinging from one extreme to the other in your mind, seek at least three possible options and go for the one that seems the most balanced.

SCORPIO

4 Cups, Turquoise, Change

You really want things to change. Your mind is opening to new ideas and you are becoming aware of a much bigger picture than you could see before. This wonderful ‘opening up’ process is long over due fills you with a renewed enthusiasm for life. To help you adjust to all these exciting changes it is important to reach out and ask for support from people you now know you can trust.

SAGGITARIUS

6 Cups, Fluorite, Letting Go

Either you or another person is digging their heals in. There is nothing wrong with decisiveness as such but in this instance it is either premature or perhaps based on a fearful reaction to something. Regardless of who is behaving this way, it is time to ‘let it go’ and invite to a Higher Power to sort things out. In the end the relationship is far more important to you than the stand that is being taken.

CAPRICORN

Maid of Swords, Aventurine, Stability

You are beginning to rebel against a situation you no longer find tenable. You take your duties very seriously so it takes a lot for you to snap, but this time enough really is enough. When you finally stand up for yourself by saying ‘no’ to someone or something you will be surprised to discover those pent up emotions are quickly released and you can re-establish some calm and stability in your life.

AQUARIUS

Ace of Vesicas, Smoky Quartz, Gentleness

You are creating a new foundation in your life. While you are doing this it is important to become discerning about who and what you allow into your space. Any negative influences, whether internal or external, must be gently extricated before they get a chance to take hold. When making decisions, start as you mean to continue and seek to create the correct environment for your growth.

PISCES

Ace of Staffs, Ruby, Commitment

Finally you have found a magic wand! Well, you have at least re-gained some much needed enthusiasm. Something has (or is about to) enter your life that you are going to want to put a lot of energy into. That will make a nice change won’t it!? You will know when it comes because of your excitement. Grab this opportunity with both hands, it will surely give back whatever you put in.

April 2010

An intuitive reading for each sign of the Zodiac..

The aim of my work is to offer guidance and support to those who are embarking on a journey of self discovery and personal transformation.

ARIES

The World, Black Tourmaline, Earth

A project or situation is reaching its final conclusion and you are experiencing a sense of fulfilment and completion. However something is also negatively affecting your body or your health in some way and you need to do something about it. Whether it is from stress, a person or bad habit, find a way to protect your well being. You will enjoy your success much more once you have dealt with it!

TAURUS

2 Swords, Clear Quartz, Choice

Perhaps you are still feeling a little self protective, but you are also now looking within to find your balance and this will have a positive effect. Having found some inner balance, you will then be able to start clearing your mind of some of the fears that have been holding you back. Your fears will have less power over you once you recognise that you always have several choices available to you.

GEMINI

Knight of Swords, Malachite, Stability

You are hoping to remove something that is no longer working while trying to maintain (or create) some kind of stability. This is challenging because the change that is required will naturally cause some instability, which is the very thing you are trying to avoid. Luckily a balanced approach is possible when you focus on chopping off the deadwood rather than digging up the whole tree.

CANCER

4 Vesicas, Lapis, Change

Something needs to change. Deep inside you know that if things don’t, you are going to find it hard to ignore the way things are starting to grate. You need to align your commitments with your values and your actions with your feelings and words. Start by deciding where you stand on matters. Once you are clear, you will be able to make changes by relying on the strength of your personal integrity.

LEO

Knight of Staffs, Rhodonite, Gestation

It is time for new beginnings, opportunities and possibilities. You may be feeling particularly creative or adventurous and want to try new things out. This is a great way to direct the rising solar energy inside of you. However, before you enthusiastically pour all your energy into something, make sure your efforts will be appreciated and your talents valued. Until then, keep on looking!

VIRGO

9 Swords, Mookaite, Chaos

You are in mourning for the ending of something. While your feelings are perfectly natural, your fear of losing control is not helping you. It is time to look for new ways to deal with your feelings. Start by deciding to accept whatever you are feeling and make sure you are taking time to recharge your batteries. Things will become much easier when you trust that any emotional storm will pass.

LIBRA

5 Swords, Hematite, Feelings

Things have come to a natural conclusion and you are trying to reach a state of acceptance. You believe that you have to be strong and cut yourself off from whatever has ended in order to move on. Nothing could be further from the truth: True acceptance comes through feeling all the feelings then being willing to ‘let go’. Be gentle on yourself and allow acceptance to arrive in its own time.

SCORPIO

10 Staffs, Snowflake Obsidian, Community

This month you may need to get more involved in some kind of group activity. By all means be cautious while you are getting to know new people. However, if you start to feel uncomfortable it is not a sign that you need to get (more) defensive or disappear altogether – it is a sign that you need to look for the lesson or hidden gift in the situation. Resist the urge to make any hasty judgements!

SAGGITARIUS

Maid of Staffs, Amber, Conception

Things are looking up and you will start to feel more like yourself this month. Your confidence and energy should be soaring, but if it isn’t then it is time to shake yourself up by doing a little jig! You need to introduce some fresh air into your lungs either by getting outside or by liberating yourself through exercise, dance or other movement. You will wonder why you hadn’t thought of it before!

CAPRICORN

High Priestess, Fluorite, Letting Go

Whatever situation you currently face, spirit is calling you. Whether you are in trouble, a crisis or seeking direction, it is time to make the connection. It seems that in order to do this you need to let go of something – perhaps the view that you don’t need any help? It is not a sign of weakness to reach out, it is a sign of courage and humility. Pray, meditate or contact your guide for answers.

AQUARIUS

Ace of Vesicas, Amazonite, Connection

You may find a new way to earn an income this month. Though it may take time for money to flow, the Ace of Vesicas will helps you to work toward creating a strong financial foundation. Take things step by step as this is only the beginning. You need work to be in line with your heart. Use your excellent communication skills and seek to make positive connections with people who can help.

PISCES

8 of Cups, Sardonyx, Creativity

You are looking for a way out of a situation and may even want to hide from something, however all is not yet lost. It is time to get creative and to look for new solutions to an old problem. Start by admitting to yourself that hiding is not going to get you what you want! It is time to reach out to the people around you and decide together what needs to be done. A positive solution really is possible.

February 2010

ARIES

Death, Rhodochrosite, Reflection

The profound change that has been taking place has finally reached its conclusion. There is no going back and it would not be beneficial to even if you could. It is time to let go and accept the new order. Either a child or your inner child (or both?) also needs to be supported through this process. Take time to slow down so you can reflect on the lessons that have been learned.

TAURUS

Ace of Swords, Lace Agate, Challenge

Something is blocking your path. You have a clear direction but you are not sure how to handle this obstacle. You may be inclined to give the obstacle a hard time but it will only dig its feet in further. Channel your famous stubbornness into clarity of purpose and the mental determination to find a solution. Do not seek to push against the barrier, instead use gentleness and encouragement.

GEMINI

Knight of Cups, Bloodstone, Synthesis

Things start coming together nicely this month. A new job, relationship or opportunity comes along and may even take you by surprise. It may feel ‘lucky’ but really it is the natural conclusion to what you have been quietly working towards. However, this opportunity may make you feel nervous because it will require you to courageously step out of your comfort zone to claim what’s yours.

CANCER

Knight of Staffs, Amber, Love

You want to start a new chapter in your life. You want to forge ahead with enthusiasm and positivity but something is holding you back. When you think about it you seem to start fearing that you will lose someone or something you love if you go ahead. What is actually holding you back is lack of self confidence. You can do what you want. And remember you can never lose what is truly yours.

LEO

The Wheel of Fortune, Lepidolite, Gestation

Things may have changed but the outcome of those changes is still up in the air. You may want it all be to done and dusted but that is not the nature of things. A process of change has begun but you are in the gestation period and it is important to be patient. Instead of channelling your precious energy into futile worrying, use this time to focus your mind on manifesting the positive outcome you want.

VIRGO

The Star, Fluorite, Air

There is still a strong connection to Spirit and you are aware of a wonderful opportunity for healing and renewal. Spring may not yet have arrived, but you are feeling a distinct stirring under the covers! While you are waiting for things to develop, turn your energy to matters of the mind. Perhaps you have some work to get on with? Any communications or writing are beneficial now.

LIBRA

10 Vesicas, Citrine, Reflection

Money is on your mind this month. Perhaps you receive some and you are thinking about what to do with it? Or are you thinking about how to make more in the future? Whatever your current situation, this is a month for reflection. You need to evaluate your habits for creating, saving and spending your money. Changes need to be made that will benefit you financially in the long run.

SCORPIO

6 Cups, Kunzite, Conception

I see the beginning of a wonderful love affair! Okay it may or may not be Mr/s Wonderful but either way, it is definitely something to smile about… Someone is really into you, and whether it is a lover, friend, boss or client, you need to trust this great feeling. You have weeded out the less desirables from your life and you are now emotionally free for the ‘real thing’. Embrace the new connection!

SAGGITARIUS

8 Cups, Haematite, Fear

What are you afraid of? I mean really?! It seems you think you are scared of something but if you were to peel away the layers, you either have no case for it or you are actually scared of something completely different. Either way, it is definitely time to get to the bottom of things because it is holding you back. It is time to confront your fears with determination and a steady sword.

CAPRICORN

King of Swords, Chrysocolla, Creativity

You tend to take your responsibilities very seriously. You can be extremely tough with yourself about ‘doing what is right’ but are not so clear about others’ responsibilities toward you because you fear having to be as hard on others as you are on yourself. Actually there is no need to be so hard on yourself or others! Look for creative ways to get across what is bothering you in a direct manner.

AQUARIUS

5 Vesicas, Turquoise, Change

You are not sure how you feel right now. You can see a bright future but you can also see that you will have to endure some hardship to get there, and you are not sure how you feel about this. While you are aware of the hardship and the bright future – what you can’t see right now is how things are going to change. All you can do is trust that things will change and maybe sooner than you think!

PISCES

Queen of Cups, Carnelian, Choice

Pisces, you do have a choice about how you feel. Negative emotions have an important role to play and expressing them is both healthy and necessary. However, holding onto them will only rob you of your joy and energy. It is time to ground your emotions. Look for ways to inspire feelings of love and gratitude, then visualise holding your positive feelings in your heart and watch them expand!

Freya’s Astro Advice

January 2010

ARIES

2 Staffs, Rhodonite, Change

You have reached an important crossroads. This means that you need to assess where you have been and where you are going. Your life is undergoing some profound changes so it is important that you gain clarity about the process you are going through. This is not simply an intellectual process – you need to really listen to your heart in the situation you face. Ask your heart what needs to change.

TAURUS

Strength, Amazonite, Challenge

Creative changes continue to stretch you. Amazonite returns to you this month asking you to continue to express what is in your heart. However, you are now going deeper into a situation and you are finding it a challenge or perhaps you have hit a road block? You are being tested by the Universe to see if this is what you really want. Be strong in your resolve – you know you can do it!

GEMINI

9 Swords, Sugilite, Letting Go

Well there is no way around this Gemini, something had to give and now you know what you need to do. Unfortunately you are not very happy about letting go of something you associate with security. Have compassion for the part of you that doesn’t want to let go and find a way to reassure yourself that you will be better off without it. Make a list of ‘pay-offs’ and read it every day.

CANCER

6 Cups, Pietersite, Reflection

A relationship is still taking centre stage at the moment. Things that came to light recently have left you feeling unsure of yourself, the situation or the other person. Whatever is going on, things are likely to shift again, so it is really not a good time to make major decisions or take impulsive action. Now is a very good time to step back and observe the changes while reflecting on how you feel.

LEO

10 Swords, Clear Quartz, Chaos

If you have been hanging on to something or resisting the changes that have been beckoning you then you may find this month a challenge. A storm is brewing and it is going to force you to accept that change is indeed required. Whether you experience the storm internally or externally, it will bring with it the clarity or vision you need. Ride the storm and use it as a tool to clear your mind.

VIRGO

Knight of Staffs, Sugilite, Spirit Guide

You are feeling inspired by something or someone new. The Knight of Staffs heralds new beginnings and influences, particularly on a creative/sexual level. Your Guide has come to tell you that you are ‘on path’ (in case you have any doubts) and are therefore protected. The best thing you can do is to open your inner channel to receive this new energy and allow it to work through you.

LIBRA

The World, Mookaite, Letting Go

This is an important period of completion. This month you can enjoy your achievements or the experience of reaching a specific goal. Take time to acknowledge how well you have done and reward yourself for your hard work and perseverance. Once you have done this you then need to integrate your experiences so you can let go and move your energy on to the next project or goal.

SCORPIO

3 Cups, Lapis Lazuli, Air

It is time to become much more savvy about who you spend your time with. You are perceptive but you don’t always listen to your inner voice and sometimes you end up keeping everyone at arm’s length. You are now beginning to realise there are people around who share your values and who you can intuitively trust. It is time to surround yourself with like minded, supportive people.

SAGGITARIUS

Knight of Swords, Moonstone, Synthesis

You may need an emotional detox. If you have been harbouring negative feelings that feel like a broken record, it is time to cut through the proverbial! Of course you are entitled to negative feelings but if you wallow in them they will end up running your life. It is time to see that things are coming together exactly as they should. Focus on what is good and allow yourself to be happy!

CAPRICORN

Maid of Vesicas, Malachite, Choice

You are reaching a greater sense of inner stability because you are centring inwardly rather than looking outside of yourself for answers. Malachite suggests that there may be some challenging feelings to explore now that you are feeling more grounded. Rest assured, you have the right state of mind to deal with them and you always have a choice about how to handle difficult emotions.

AQUARIUS

King of Swords, Black Tourmaline, Fire

You are a power house of mental determination and clarity, combined with creative passion and motivation. You are, however, also feeling slightly on guard. What you are experiencing is a natural reaction to the intense energy you are currently summoning up to use in your life. You need to develop self protection without resorting to fear: Be discerning about where you direct your energy.

PISCES

3 Staffs, Carnelian, Openness

There are lot of things to sort through and although it seems to be ‘stuff’ about other people, it is actually ‘stuff’ within yourself. You will find it hard to open up to others or to life if you are deceiving yourself in some way. It is time to ask those important questions and give yourself really honest answers. Take some time out to ground yourself and to sort out your inner reality.
