WHEN TO BE PASSIVE AND WHEN TO BE AGGRESSIVE

There is a time and place for both responses, passive and aggressive.  Sometimes we need to take a stand and be more aggressive about what we do or believe in. Other times, it is more responsible to ignore or be passive about a situation. 

 

Many say that being passive and not causing any waves is the best way to live; however, although in some cases that is appropriate, there are also times when we need to step up and do what needs to be done, even if it is uncomfortable.

 

Sometimes people get hurt because of what we might say. Remember there are always two ways of saying anything. An unfiltered approach likely will be challenged. A calmer, more gentle approach usually gets the message across without push back.

 

It is never appropriate to challenge someone physically, but it is appropriate under the right circumstances to speak your mind and say what needs to be said but again in an appropriate manner. 

 

Some people take advantage of the those they think are meek and mild. Passive should never be mistaken for lack of caring.  Respect is essential.  Even the most meek individuals have their limits.

 

If you feel you are being taken advantage of perhaps it’s time to step up and in your own way stand up for yourself.

 

If you are the more aggressive type and are accustomed to saying it like it is, remember others have feelings and filters are essential to maintain healthy relationships.

 

Know when to be passive and when to be aggressive. Strength comes in many different forms.

 

How do you present yours?

PLUTO SEXTILE NATAL ASCENDANT

When Transiting Pluto makes a Sextile to our Natal Ascendant, it is an indicator that things are about to change.  There will be undeniable transformations in the way we present ourselves.  We may find that we take a close and honest look at ourselves and the way that we are viewed by others. 

 

Is there a need for some revamping, a need for some sort of regeneration? 

 

What do we like about ourselves and what do we want to rid ourselves of?

 

We will go deep, likely deeper than we have gone before except if Pluto made a Conjunction to our Ascendant at some point in our chart. Pluto conjunct our Ascendant may have been quite a while ago or may not even have happened yet or may never happen.  This is due to how slow Pluto moves around the Zodiac.

 

We may look at our appearance and make significant changes.  We might want to lose weight, some may go through facial surgery or revamp the style of clothing in their wardrobe, for example. 

 

We want to look different under this influence, and this reflects the changes taking hold on the inside. What begins inside often surfaces on the outside.

 

We may change our goals, make new plans, change jobs, especially if somehow the Midheaven is also part of the energies.  We may make transformations to many parts of ourselves, along with our journey forward. It takes time for this all to unfold, often a couple of years. Others will notice the changes. These are not something we keep secret. 

 

The Sextile is an opportunity aspect and with Pluto, the agent of change and total transformation, things will most definitely transform.  Sometimes we just need to go with the flow but in many cases, Pluto demands action, but it can precipitate action on its own. 

 

There are usually no half measures when it comes to the dynamism of Pluto, and you may find that some may not agree with what you are undertaking, but in most cases, things move forward regardless of what others might think.  The past is gone and it’s time to move forward into the future.

Transiting Pluto sextile natal Ascendant is a transformative, empowering period that brings deep personal growth and positive changes to how you present yourself to the world.

ASPECTS FOR SUN IN LIBRA PART TWO

On September 21, we initiated our look at the aspects (forecast) for Sun in Libra for the upcoming year.  In that initial article we focused on the opposition aspects to the Sun in Libra by Saturn and by Neptune Read more: https://www.holmastrology.com/post/aspects-to-sun-in-libra-2026-part-i

 

Today we will touch on those individuals who have their Sun in the early degrees of Libra or late degrees of Libra and the impact of transiting Uranus and Transiting Pluto.  You can allow a 5–7° orb of influence. 

 

While in retrograde, Uranus moves from 5° Gemini to 1° degree. 

 

While in retrograde Pluto, which is in Aquarius, moves from 3° and turns direct on October 15, 2026 when it is still 3° of Aquarius.

 

Those with their Sun in Libra in the early degrees and while Uranus is in retrograde from 5° to 1° Gemini, Uranus will make a trine aspect to your Libra Sun.  Those with their Sun in the late degrees of Libra will have Uranus making a Quincunx to their Libra Sun. 

 

The Trine from Uranus suggests an easy flow for making needed changes and taking a new directions to where you actually need to go in life.  Goals and aspirations and the path ahead are subject to change, and the trine aspect can make this new direction seem quite favorable and making decisions on moving in that direction should flow well. 

 

The quincunx from Uranus (Those with the last degree Libra Sun) suggests that an adjustment must be made.  Perhaps you are comfortable with the way life has been moving and now unexpectedly you find yourself changing directions and you will need to adjust. It might not be an easy adjustment but it is necessary.

 

Those Librans with their Sun in the early degrees of Libra will have transiting Pluto also making a Trine to this position, forming a Grand Trine with Uranus and the Sun.  A Grand Air Trine is very favorable and speaks of an easy flow mentally, with clear understanding of the path forward and that the changes that are in force (because both Uranus and Pluto speak of change and new beginnings) will take you to where you need to go.

 

Those with their Sun in the later degrees of Libra, which is close to Scorpio, will have Transiting Pluto making a Square to this position.  This is not an easy aspect and indicates some hurtles to overcome likely suggesting an ending of sorts and then a new beginning.  With this aspect there may be some ego disputes, and you may feel at the mercy of life. The stress created by the Square aspect, however, often pushes us to find ways to resolve the issue. Sun in late Libra must put in the effort for this change to work for them. It can take time to realize the benefits of these actions.

 

Aspects for Sun in Libra Part II suggests stabilizing yet revolutionary change for Librans. Work with the energies to reap the rewards.

TWISTS AND TURNS

The road of life is seldom straightforward.  We twist and turn, feelings as though we waver from time to time. The path in life is always in front of us and though we may feel as though we have gotten off track, the lessons we are learning are essential for our journey forward.

 

Some of us may know where we hope to go and others just follow the route.  Some days, the path is straightforward, other days are filled with potholes and some days it feels like the path has disappeared into the underbrush. Push forward anyway!

 

Set goals but be flexible. Sometimes we walk the direct route there and other times, we have much to learn before we get to our check point.

 

It is important to keep our options open. We may have a goal in mind for this moment, but the moment is forever changing. We may think we need that straight even road, but the road we are offered will have opportunities that may open doors we never thought possible.

 

You are on the right path. Stay open to what is offered as it is what you need. It may feel like twists and turns but if you watch closely, you will realize you are dancing your way forward.

ASPECTS TO SUN IN LIBRA 2026 PART I

We focused on Sun in Libra in our post on September 16: https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-libra-2026  Today we will begin our look at the aspects affecting the Libra sun for the coming year.

All of the outer planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are in retrograde in September, 2026.  Saturn and Neptune, both in the sign of Aries, stay in retrograde until December, 2026.  Uranus, in the sign of Gemini, is retrograde until February 7, 2027 and Pluto, in Aquarius, remains in its retrograde cycle until October 14, 2026 when it goes direct once again.

 

Saturn and Neptune (in Aries) will be making an Opposition to those with their Sun in Libra.  Saturn moves from 12° down to 7° Aries, while Neptune moves from 3° down to 1°.  Those with their Sun within an orb of 5-7°of the degrees of Saturn and Neptune will feel their influence.

 

Oppositions usually indicate influences from other people in our lives.  It is not considered a favorable aspect and when we speak of Neptune, there could be confusion or a feeling of dismay connected to these people or what they may be saying to you.  Things may not be clear and concise, and you may not trust what they are implying.  Things become much clearer once Neptune moves into its direct motion on December 11.  The houses involved will define what areas of life are involved.

 

Saturn, on the other hand, still speaks about other individuals having an influence in our lives, but while in retrograde motion, Saturn is much more favorable. Although Saturn is about lessons, decisions, and in some cases hardships; during its retrograde cycle, it can actually be beneficial. You should pay heed to those that are trying to assist or help you.  These individuals may be your superiors or those in positions of authority.

 

In our next astrology post (part two of aspect to Sun in Libra 2026) we will touch on the influence of Uranus and Pluto.

 

Aspects to sun in Libra 2026 Part I suggests influence from others. Some of these people may be confusing while others are beneficial. Know who to listen to.

GROW EXPONENTIALLY

For those of us who are considered sensitives, it is important when dealing with others that we do not take on their energies.  This is the main cause of burnout for psychics, readers and intuitives.  It can be very challenging because when we meet people that are experiencing extremely difficult time, their energies linger and if taken on personally, the energies can cause the sensitive to become overwhelmed.

 

Sensitives unfortunately pick up intuitively what is going on beneath the surface.  It is as if those around us are speaking to us without using words.  We can see it in their faces and understand/experience on a subconscious level what they are experiencing.  We may not know specifically what is transpiring in their lives, but we feel it energetically.

 

In order to assist someone in need, we need to be able to step back once we have emersed ourselves in their feelings. To assist, we must understand the client’s pain however but we cannot own it. We can assist through emotional support and offering guidance. 

 

On a human level, it is important to know that we are not alone and that someone else cares. We, however, cannot do the work for someone else.

 

In working through our own issues, we realize our strengths. We build confidence which assists when our next life lessons come into play.  All adversity is a learning experience, and we can only help others after we have learned to help ourselves.

 

Life is a flow of opportunities and lessons. We grow exponentially through every event we experience and learn and through every person we support.
