TO BE OR NOT TO BE

“To be or not to be”.  Apparently that is the answer. 

 

Do you choose to be yourself or are you committed to being what others expect you to be? 

 

You can be whomever you wish to be and believing this opens the door to exploration of who you are. 

 

When you meet someone new, do you hide your true self, or do you allow your true self to shine loud and clear?

 

As we age, we become more comfortable in our own skin. We learn to accept who we are, but we certainly can stay open to making changes.  I have heard some say they don’t give a damn what others think.  Others are quite aware of how they present themselves to others and make changes according to each person they meet.

 

There can be high expectations under some circumstances. We are on our best behaviours during a job interview, for example.

 

Some individuals may not clearly understand what we mean when we said “You can be whomever you wish to be”.  The person you wish you could be already exists -- living within.  You wouldn’t recognize these traits or this personality if it did not already exist. Allow these traits to shine through.

 

If you take an honest, deep look at who you are (in this very moment), and you are comfortable with that person, what needs to change? 

 

If you take an honest, deep look at who you are and you are not comfortable with that person, why not make some changes?

 

Be comfortable with YOU!

 

If you ask ten people to describe who you are, you will get ten different answers.  So do not change to appease other, make changes because you wish to make them for yourself.

 

To be or not to be is not the question.  To be you, to be comfortable with you is the solution; to be something that someone else wants is out of the question. That is the not to be!

PLUTO SEXTILE NATAL MC

Transiting Pluto will be in Aquarius for many years to come.  Those that have their MC or Midheaven in the signs of Aries or Sagittarius will, at some point, depending on their MC degree, experience the Sextile from Pluto to this position.  Allow up to 5° approaching and a 2° separation to your MC with this transit.  Of course, the closer Pluto becomes direct while in transit, the stronger this positioning will be.  For those that do not understand the term direct, let’s say that your MC is at 5° Aries; when Pluto is about 1° or a little less, it begins to have an impact and when it is at 5° (the same as the MC in our example), it is at its most powerful (direct).  The minutes also apply as 60’ equals 1°.

 

Pluto is known as an agent of transformation and regeneration.  Its action is direct, although often quite subtle in the early degrees as it approaches.  Pluto’s action is complete, in that something comes to an end and something new begins.  Pluto is a powerful influential determinant of change and although it may take as long as 2 years to fully understand its actions, you adapt or you will struggle under its influence.

 

Sextiles are opportunity aspects that often need a push by you for something positive to become apparent and to manifest.  Aries on the MC often depicts an individual who wants to achieve and often under their own terms. With Sagittarius, the MC speaks of an individual who is upfront, optimistic in their approach and believes in success, as does Aries, but Aries often tends to rush into situations without taking the necessary time to reflect on possible outcomes.  Both signs are fire signs indicating that they move towards goals with much enthusiasm.

 

The MC has to do with our career, our objectives in life and our path ahead.  It also relates to our status in life and recognition for our efforts. 

 

Pluto can make giant changes with these matters governed by the MC. For those that are comfortable with current circumstances, it may be more difficult to maneuver their way out of these conditions towards what lies ahead.  In some cases, if Neptune is involved in the equation and especially if it is in poor aspect association, the road ahead is quite murky and unclear.  Because of this, fear might be part of the process, but as we begin moving into our next venture in life, we slowly understand why these changes took place and that the next phase is where we needed to be.

 

With Pluto sextile natal MC, change and transition are part of the process. Push forward, ride the wave of change and get yourself ready for what’s next on life’s agenda.

FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE

We can seek freedom from many different things.  One important freedom is to free ourselves from the bondage of our mind’s interference.  Our mind can get caught up in the past or worry for the future.  We are so trapped in our worries that we forget that our focus amplifies and can become all consuming.  We are so focused on “what ifs” or “has beens” that we forget to live.

 

We continually hash over experiences to the point that they take up permanent residence in our head, and we continually loop over and over again on what was or what might be, much like the movie, Groundhog Day. 

 

We torture ourselves over what we could have done or what we might be able to do. This can also lead to pointing a finger at others and laying blame for events in our lives. Alternatively, we can take responsibility for events that were completely out of our control.  Does this sound familiar?

 

Our bondage stems from our preconceived notions of what we think SHOULD or SHOULD NOT have happened or what might happen in the future.  One suggests we have control issues and the other suggests we worry about potentials.

 

Some people truly do live in their self-made bondage, whether that bondage be mental or physical.

 

The bondage of fear robs us of living. Some of us may be tied to the security of our home environment. Step out and breathe the air of freedom.

 

Some are held in bondage because of the acts of others or life’s circumstances.

 

Can you rise above or break free of your personal bondage? 

 

Do you worry about potential outcomes if you take action? 

 

The unknown can create fear but you are stronger than that fear.

 

Ask yourself if you are supposed to exist under these conditions.  Of course not.  You are here to live!

 

It takes courage but make the choice to live not just exist.  You and you alone must make that decision.  You do not have to do this alone.  Reach out for support or help. Take the first step to freedom from bondage.

 

Break free! You are worth it. Start living!

NEPTUNE SEXTILE NATAL VENUS

Sextiles (60° aspect) are known to be beneficial, opportunistic, workable aspects especially when we apply ourselves to whatever opportunity is at hand. 

 

Venus is often linked to love and affection.  In some cases, it deals with social interactions and is also tied to finances. 

 

The energy of Neptune can last for several years because of its slow movement through the Zodiac.  Check an ephemeris to check transiting Neptune’s movements, allowing an orb of 5° approaching and 2° separating, to know when you will feel these energies beginning to enhance your Venus when contact is made.  The tighter the orb the stronger the influence.

 

Neptune can be dreamy and vague at times, and it is suggested that you take a reality check when it is applying to any planet, although the Sextile and Trine usually suggest valid applications.

 

When transiting Neptune sextiles natal Venus in your chart, this may be the time you meet the person of your dreams.  Love can grow at a rapid speed, especially if Mars is somehow attached to the connection.  Make sure you are seeing the person in their true light as you may put them on a pedestal without even being aware of it.  You could have blinders on, but it may also be very real.  You can rely on your intuition, and you need to listen carefully to what it is telling you.

 

There is the potential for excessive drug and alcohol use during this time, and it suggested that you steer clear, as this is likely to make the fascination even stronger and less reliable.  It will already appear as a fantasy so let’s make sure that what we are feeling is as real as it can be. 

 

Social activities may also be highlighted during this time, and there might be something rather magical about how it unfolds.  It can be a fun time for everyone although partying can be a little excessive.  Have fun but don’t overdo it.

 

If this relates to your finances, once again, don’t dream.  Make sure that what you see is real and the opportunity that awaits you is also not only promising but actually has the potential to expand and grow as you invest yourself in the process.  Finances may improve unexpectedly especially if Uranus is involved.  If Jupiter is involved, there may be a feeling that you can’t go wrong, and if Mars is involved, it is suggested that you take a second look and go slowly. Mars wants to rush but you must resist the temptation.

 

Regardless of what this might entail, as the houses involved will identify, transiting Neptune sextile natal Venus is considered a valid, opportunistic period. Follow your gut instincts.

TRY, TRY AGAIN

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! 

 

Never give up.  Always give it your all.  Some things are worth working or fighting for.  There is satisfaction in knowing that you did your very best even if the outcome was not as planned. 

 

It is important to weigh out the cost (time, effort, value, odds) before committing to something. There are no guarantees in life, but if you don’t try, how do you know?

 

The rewards for a battle well fought usually pays high in dividends.

 

No matter what the goal, working towards a promotion, building a name for yourself, getting more healthy, saving a relationship, if it has value to you, it must be worth the effort!

 

Some things are more important than others. Set your priorities.

 

Obstacles only mean a little more effort. They will test your resilience, but they will teach you valuable lessons.  Life lessons can lead to irreplaceable outcomes.

 

If the cost is too high or the outcome unattainable, walk away!  That is not giving up; it is being accountable.

 

If there is potential for a favorable outcome but it entails hard work, so be it! Try, try again! Many things in life are worth it.  Give it your all. If you fall, get back up! When there’s a will, there’s a way!

NEPTUNE SEXTILE NATAL SATURN

Currently, Neptune while in Transit will remain in Aries until it moves into the sign of Taurus on March 23, 2039.  Neptune remains in a sign approximately 14 years.  Those that have their Natal Saturn in either Gemini or Aquarius, understanding that the orb of influence can be up to and including 8°, some saying even 10°.  will begin to feel the energies of Neptune as it approaches within 3-5°, and its waning influence dissipates once it is 2° in separation.

 

Transiting Neptune just entered Aries on a permanent basis in January, 2026; therefore, those with their Natal Saturn in the late degrees of Taurus or the late degrees of Capricorn (that is when Transiting Neptune is in the early degrees of Aries), will also have this influence.  You will have to take into consideration the nature of Saturn in the signs as they differ significantly, when deciphering what this combination might signify.

 

Although the Sextile is considered a favorable aspect, the energies of Neptune and Saturn do not blend well together.  Saturn is about structure, and reality based on living in today’s world which is tightly linked to achievement. Neptune, however, by its nature, has nothing to do with structure. Neptune opens the door to what could be considered “structurelessness”.  Reality, linked to Neptune, has to do with spiritual concepts and those things considered supernatural. 

 

Saturn seeks what is reliable and does not like to go outside of those boundaries, while Neptune does not like anything that could be considered challenging and, in many cases, chooses to stay away from these matters.  Saturn has to do with adversity and working its way through challenges, while some would say that Neptune hides its head in the sand and will do whatever it can to avoid challenging situations.

 

The Sextile between these two powerful energies tests the reality of spirituality.  It will seek out discrepancies and find answers through logic and any approach that is tried, tested and true.

 

Neptune does not seek validation. It understands that spirituality is about faith and believing in higher frequencies and holds tight to the psychic or mystical realms. 

 

Neptune is about letting go while Saturn is about holding on. 

 

A door can open with these two opposing energies because of the sextile’s energies. With transiting Neptune sextile natal Saturn an opportunity could present itself to assist in getting to the core of the psychic or mystical realm, but not without some challenges that need to be met due to the lessons Saturn insists on teaching.

LIMITATIONS IN LIFE

More often than not, we have to accept our limitations. There is much we cannot change (with the exception of our attitude). With some situations, we can change things to a degree, but life’s course seems to have a destination in mind.

 

We must have faith in the process, accepting on some level that what lies ahead is the path that we are meant to take.

 

We are seldom in control of the winds of change. Change is guaranteed so do not get too comfortable with where you sit today. There are always influences beyond our control so be flexible and open minded.

 

Sometimes the shift feels favorable, other times the shift feels very uncomfortable. We, more often than not, become concerned and anxious with the unknown or change which only create a less than desirable experience. 

 

We can learn to move with the wind and let it carry us forward.

 

Remember, without change, we stagnate! 

 

The unknown can be frightening. Even when the future looks promising, there can be a feeling of concern because we do not know what to expect. 

 

When life seems to dictate, adjust by not fighting the process unless a fight is warranted and can make a difference. On some level, we will benefit no matter what the outlook, either by actual changes for the better or by experiences that teach us valuable lessons.

 

The only thing we have full control over is our attitude towards what is happening. We must process each step in life, feel the energies or learn the lessons. We can react or we can act. We can hold on to struggle or we can accept. We will not escape our life lessons, but we can control our inner dialogue and how we relate to what unfolds. 

 

What limitations in life are you creating?
