DUTY AND OBLIGATION

There are some actions in life that we are obligated to carry out. We must have a job in order to provide essentials.  We need to look after our health to enjoy good health. We have an obligation to ourselves first and foremost, but we also have obligations to our elders, family, boss, co-workers, friends and the list goes on, in varying degrees. There are things we must do to keep the flow of growth and opportunities in place.

 

We have a duty to our family, especially to our children as they slowly move forward into their own lives.  They learn from our example. We are likely reflected in the actions of our children in some form or another.  Because of this, we must set an example that is worthy to be carried forward. 

 

Being that good example comes easier if we have respected our obligation to ourself as we mature. It is important to foster positivity into our daily lives. It is essential to formulate an action plan that includes our wellbeing. We do have obligations beyond ourselves, but we must take care of ourselves to be of assistance to others. You cannot feed someone from an empty cupboard. 

 

Is our attitude one that promotes or allows happiness, or are we caught up in the challenges and noise of life?

 

How can we shift our focus away from the noise to accommodate harmony within?

 

We have the ultimate tool required to initiate change.  We can change our attitude, first and foremost.  A slight adjustment can help us go from chaos to calm.  Attitude is perhaps the most important ingredient in making life more manageable, if not enjoyable. 

 

Life can and will be difficult at times.  We cannot change what life throws our way, but we can change the way we look at these lessons.  In our mind, we can change the word “difficulties” and use the word “lessons”.  That in itself is the first step.  We can learn to turn our reactions to actions.  Reactions are uncontrolled.  Actions are purposeful and productive.

 

It takes little effort to be a victim, but it comes at a high price of stress and lack of enjoyment.  Go from victim to victor over your life experience.  It does take work, much effort, in fact initially.  We are creatures of habit.  Break the habit and exercise the “finding the positive” muscle.  The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes.

 

If we look for hatred in this world, we will find much hatred.  If we look for compassion in this world, compassion will show up.

 

A positive attitude is not going to change the world around you (but it might); a positive attitude will change the world within and make the world around you much more enjoyable.  A life of peace and appreciation is within our grasp and much of what we might want for ourselves is available if we wish to work for it. 

 

Believe in ourselves; push ourselves a little. Make it our duty and obligation to have peace within under any of life’s conditions.  We are strong and resilient. With determination, we can do anything we want to help ourselves through any of life’s situations. We are always learning and becoming stronger if we exercise what we need to.

SATURN TRINE NATAL URANUS

When Transiting Saturn forms a Trine to Natal Uranus, we can make informed decisions, often involving our career, our life’s path forward and our ability to take a measured and regulated approach to these areas of life.  This will depend largely on what houses are involved in the the astrology chart.  Houses are areas of life involvement.

 

Uranus natally represents a change of direction when it is time for a much-needed change.  It is pioneering in its approach to life’s matters and desires a degree of freedom in its expression.  It is quite unique and often acts in unexpected manners, but ultimately brings change where change is needed. 

 

Saturn while in transit (and this aspect can last several months depending on whether or not Saturn moves into its retrograde cycle as it passes over your Natal Uranus) brings more structure into your life and an added measure of stability. Saturn often produces long-lasting effects that build into a structure you can rely on as time passes.

 

The changes that you make during this aspect, when Saturn has its influence, are quite calculated and often considered productive because the approach instinctually by Saturn is to move slowly and deliberately without jumping, which is what Uranus wants to do.  The changes might move ahead slowly (Saturn) or in some cases happen very swiftly (Uranus).  It is best to approach matters with diligence and single mindedness, without swaying while making important decisions.  Original ideas are now taking hold in your life, and your approach should be to maneuver ahead slowly.

 

The Trine often indicates easy flow and opportunities.  It is wise to take advantage of this aspect as it does not happen often.  It has also been noted by this Astrologer that Saturn while in transit has its most profound effects 2° past being direct.  So, if Uranus is at 14° for example, Saturn will be most powerful at around 16°.  This is due to Saturn’s slow and deliberate action.

 

Transiting Saturn trine natal Uranus wants practical, disciplined life changes to take place based on a cutting-edge approach.

WHAT WE CAN CONTROL AND WHAT WE CANNOT

There are things in life that are completely out of your control.  They often happen when you are least expecting them.  You might experience a car accident, loss of your job, or on the other side of the coin, get a promotion, receive confirmation that your cancer is in remission and most importantly experiencing peace when you least expected it.

 

Many of us want control over everything but more often than not, we are at the mercy of circumstance.

 

Life happens. Situations change. We can blame ourselves for every event (but why?) and take ownership of things we do not own. Perhaps others are involved and our intentions were deeply wanting to assist, for example, but they had no impact. Have we not all blamed ourselves for someone passing-over because we might have been able to do just one more thing different to change the situation? That is grief. Recognize it as such. Sometimes we can give it our best and things still move in a manner that is anything but what we had hoped for.

 

Step back and look with your eyes and not your heart. Many life situations are out of our hands. Each of these events and hardships have lessons for us, however.  Is that lesson “to experience and let go”?

 

Learning the difference between what we can control and what we cannot control can be a difficult lesson. Do your best. Acknowledge you are human. Acceptance can be a beautiful thing when appropriate and bring needed relief.

JUPITER SEXTILE NATAL URANUS

Wherever natal Uranus resides in your birth chart, it often suggests an element of surprise and a unique quality.  Often there is something rather distance or unusual about its placement, and when change is required in that area of life, which is dictated by the house position, it can bring about needed change in a rather unexpected manner.  It is important to realize that any change that is brought forth is required, and the timing of events indicated by the astrology chart is when it is appropriate for this to take place as the energies are in place.

 

Jupiter tends to make these “over the top”.  There is nothing minor about Jupiter and its tendency is to bring about change, which is Uranus’ requirement, in big ways.  Jupiter’s energies will be fortunate because of the energies of the Sextile which is the focus of this article.  A Sextile suggests that, although the opportunities are often right in front of you, it will be up to you to make things happen. 

 

The changes may be abrupt and unexpected, but they are what is needed. Over time, you will note how true this is, but it may take some time to be able to relate or connect to what has been brought forth, even though it is due. 

 

Jupiter is philosophical in its nature and may connect with religious inclinations, spiritual insight, especially if Neptune is favourably aspected and forms a connection to this placement.

 

If, for example, natal Uranus was in the seventh house, which is traditionally the house of marriage and partnership, and transiting Jupiter is moving through the fifth house, a relationship may move to another level.  Regardless of how this might look (favorable or unfavorable), an example might be a relationship that is past its time, or a relationship that is beginning to bud. Changes take hold and a new beginning begins to unfold.  Children could also be involved in the equation with our example.

 

The Astrological houses tell the story and the potential found in the natal chart may now be fulfilled.

 

Transiting Jupiter sextile natal Uranus can bring about big, sudden change. You must help the energy along, as work is required but resist impulsiveness.

ITS NOT ON YOU

It is important to take ownership of our actions. In some circumstances, however, the actions of others directly influence those with little or no choice but be affected.

 

In many cases, it takes two to tango, so the saying goes. If it is two parties taking action or acting out, then both parties need to take responsibility for what has taken hold. 

 

It is also important to realize that you act for yourself.  It is just as important to recognize that it is not up to you to push someone else to make changes.  They must make their own decisions to take appropriate actions. We cannot force others to make changes to themselves or corrections to their actions. It can be frustrating to watch someone close being hurtful towards others (including you) or themselves.

 

Sometimes, people shoulder the blame for things they did not do or had no control over. How often do we overthink events and struggle to come up with alternative actions we could have taken to change an outcome that is already in the past (an outcome we had no decision in creating)? 

 

“If only I had made a phone call that day then Charlie (or some other loved one) may not have been in the car at that precise moment of impact” is a perfect example.  The events of life are not yours to own.

 

Remember, it is not always on you but take ownership when it is. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and choices. Stop blaming yourself when it is not your fault and carrying the weight of others. It is not on you! Have self-compassion and set clearer boundaries.

IT’S ALL OR NOTHING

There are times you just have to go for it.

 

You have spent countless hours contemplating and now you realize that the moment has come for you to advance.  You feel it. It IS the time.

 

Give it your all and don’t back off, not even for a moment.

 

For each of us, this focus will be a different one. No matter what the focus, push through any adversity and forge ahead.

 

You may have been waiting for a long time, and something has held you back.  Was it fear?

 

Do not step on others to get there. Karma is real. This is not about revenge or getting even, life looks after that. It’s about just reward, doing the right thing, and letting life take you to where you are supposed to be.

 

Fear can hold you back, but do not let it!

 

Move forward armed with information, with positivity and the best intensions. You can do this with or without assistance.

 

Who will benefit?

 

Take care of yourself but if you can incorporate benefits for others, that is much more rewarding.  Listen to your intuition. Step forward with hope and compassion.

 

It is important to pursue your dreams and goals. Are you ready? Get set……go! It’s all or nothing. Give it your all and reap the rewards.

LIBRA FULL MOON 2026

A Full Moon, as many of you are aware, is the culmination of goals or energy put in place some six months ago when we had our New Moon in the same sign.  This Full Moon is in the sign of Libra, the sign of the scales, is linked to relationships of significance in this life.  April 2, the Libra Full Moon will at 12° degrees.

 

During this full moon, using an orb of no more than 3° degrees, it will form a Square to the planet Jupiter which is at 15° degrees in the sign of Cancer.

 

Since Cancer and Libra are both signs that have to do with family and the relationships with them, this is likely tied to members of our family if the Full Moon is making contact in our Astrology chart.  For example, this can include your parents, your spouse and/or your children, if the fifth house is part of the picture. It will affect your relationship with co-workers if the sixth house is involved, and with friends if the eleventh house is part of the picture. 

 

Cancer (Jupiter’s current sign) is an emotionally driven sign, and Libra (the Moon’s current sign) wants to create peace, balance and fairness including justice when necessary.  If there are wrongdoings, the feelings will run deep. If there has been injustice, there is a need to rectify the situation.  All comes out in the wash as they say. You have to put things into the washing machine before they can come out clean. The residue of the dirt that might have surfaced needs to be cleared away.

 

This will most likely, as mentioned, be about relationships.  With Jupiter being part of the process and having been in place for some time, things or these energies will likely have reached a peak. Although the situations are heightened, because of the influence of the great benefactor, Jupiter, you should be able to work things out for the best, if you do what must be done to make things right.

 

Libra suggests you use diplomacy and bring about the balance that is required.  Be the judge but try not to make too many judgements.  Libra always looks at both sides of the situation and will work hard on either side of the coin to bring about favorable outcomes. 

 

There is potential here, but it will take work. Square aspects force you into action, because you want resolution.  Do your best. If it is personal, practice forgiveness. If it is not personal, do not take on the energies of others. It serves no purpose other than to create anxiety to be emotionally involved in something that is not yours to own. 

 

This Libra Full Moon 2026 will certainly involve relationships and emotions will be amplified.  Find peace, balance, fairness and even justice where necessary.
