Current Life Conditions

Today when you begin your morning routine, instead of focusing on the jobs for the day, reflect on your life’s circumstances.  Focus on the regular everyday events and “normal” conditions in your life.  Now, ask yourself, “Am I content?”.  What was the reply?  If you are not content, what are you going to do about it? 

It is important that you understands that the conditions in your life have been created through your thought process or attitude towards events in your life.  Take a moment and again reflect on your life’s conditions but with the attitude that you take responsibility for your response/reaction to life’s activities.  This is a very important step, for when you take responsibility for your life, you also know that you can change any conditions or your response to these conditions.

You always have to accept responsibility one way or another.  You also have to objectively view your feelings and beliefs about your life.  Once you have genuinely accepted and taken these steps, rationally think about how you would like your life to change.  Review the direction you would like your life to move in during say the next six months.  By activating this thought process, you are taking a step forward to fulfil your desired direction.  If possible, record the changes you would like to experience but keep them realistic and make them truly something you want to achieve.

 

Believe in this next step.  Picture the end result.  As life slowly begins to materialize, your belief structure will become even stronger and more positive.  You must set reachable goals in the beginning to create the positive response required.  If you choose to hold on to current conditioning and allow the mind to control your inner desires in a non-productive way, you ultimately stagnate or at the very least, limit your progress.  Your belief structure continues to create regardless of your acknowledgement of your control.

Understand that you constantly mold your reality each and every day.  Believe in your part and take control of your life.  By doing so, you can enforce that your future potentials come from a place of love.  The positive changes in your life will also create change in other people’s lives.  This is not to say that you mold their reality by your thoughts, but on a larger scale, we all know the path to take and we move together.  Each of us benefit from the other, although at times it may not look that way. 

That person that you so detest has a viable part in your life, just as that person who envelopes you with love has their purpose.  Give yourself a goal.  Create the potential future by activating this process.  Think in terms of love and compassion with everyone’s general good in mind and watch as life slowly moves in the direction of choice.  The eventual outcome will be along the lines of your original intent.  You are the architect of your life.  Event happen which are out of our control but these event do not make us happy or sad.  Our reaction to these events and our attitude towards them are what make us happy or sad.  Life will teach you the lessons you need to learn; making them difficult or easy is your choice.  Your attitude determines the outcome of YOUR LIFE.

Extensions with the Astrology Chart (Beyond the Sun Sign)

In determining the characteristics behind any given Sun Sign, it is important to understand that there are many variables within the Birth or Natal Chart that will affect the solar (Sun’s) placement.  Although the Sun Sign will be reflective of the inner qualities within each of us, the Moon is our “governing need” expressed through its sign and house position.  There are many other influences that can alter how someone is perceived.

Many individuals may question why a person who should be a gentle, peaceful and amiable Piscean, for example, acts in an intrusive manner and demanding to be the one who comes first and displays aggressive behaviour in general.  This is quite contrary to the characteristics of the Piscean Sun Sign.  Why is this person so different and displays little of their Sun Sign character traits?  In this case, this individual may have a strong Aries placement in their Chart with the Ascendant in Aries and the Moon, Mars and Jupiter all in Aries or in the first house.

The strong Arian Characteristics will sway the soft and gentle Pisces demeanor, perhaps to an extreme, unless this individual has learned how to curtail these strong character traits and use them to their advantage.  It should be understood that we all have the potential, regardless of our Birth Chart signs and placements, to make any challenging aspect work in our favour.   This actually is the point or purpose of difficult aspects in our Natal Chart.  We are not at the mercy of our Birth Chart.  We are the orchestrator of our destiny and have the ability and tools within our Birth Chart to activate any aspect and use it to its full potential.

Let’s get back to why this Pisces Sun individual displays such contrary behavioural tendencies.   We must look deep within the Chart and examine all the aspects and variances within the horoscope to come up with a complete description of this person’s personal makeup.  This is what makes each of us so unique and one onto ourselves.  One Pisces individual will be different from another Pisces individual.  However deep down inside, the qualities of Pisces will still be very apparent.  This individual described above can utilize these strong Aries character traits and use these talents to enhance their Piscean nature.  Perhaps through spreading compassion and spirituality through self-expression or enterprise that aids others in self-realization.  This individual would have a very strong drive and could express the Piscean nature through viable acts.

There are many avenues of expression and many release valves that unlock potential.  Through our spiritual evolution, we slowly unlock our Natal potential.  By going deep into the Astrological Chart, you can uncover your true potential and your purpose in this incarnation.  Astrology provides input and meaning into our life’s pursuit, but WE always make the final decisions.

Atonement

It is important to regularly review the course of your life’s experience and reflect on how it has been lived to this point in time.  The measure of one’s life is a matter of personal perspective and honesty.  You must face any intentionally hurt or corrupt act that you have carried out.  Did you understand the consequences of your actions and the pain that it has cause?  If so, do you accept the ramifications that could befall you due to your action?

You cannot go back and change the course of action, at least in this lifetime.  Perhaps upon entering the next phase of your soul’s existence, you can make adjustments.  This is unclear in our present state of consciousness, although it has been said that we do.  Holding on to past actions does not clear the way for the necessary transformations to take place within the sphere of your consciousness.  You must go within and forgive yourself for your past endeavors and transgressions.  We do, as humans, make the wrong turns sometimes at crucial points in our lives, but we are capable of picking up the pieces and begin anew.

Every day is a new beginning and a chance to turn the page and start a next chapter, regardless of age or past indiscretions.   It is never too late.  There is always another chance, as this existence always offers choices.  Your new beginning can start now.  You cannot change what you have done in the past but you can learn from it and then leave it behind.  You do not have to carry guilty from the past.  It serves no purpose.  Certainly do what you can to correct your actions.  You cannot force others to forgive you but you certainly can forgive yourself.

 

The quality of life and your actions during life are judged primarily by you.  You have to forgive yourself before you can truly move ahead.  We must accept the ramifications of our acts and how it affected others.  Guilt is a human character trait but it does not help in correcting any issue.  It is said that in the afterlife, we understand the repercussions of our acts and we will judge ourselves accordingly.

In religious terms, God is love and total compassion.  Do you believe that such a spirit would act out of vengeance?  This pure spirit would forgive all acts and offer love in its place. 

If we are an individual with total disregard for our fellow brother or sister and knowingly carry out acts which result in violence and pain for others and even for ourselves, we must understand that karmic law dictates that we will atone for our actions.  It is suggested by some that we will reap what we sow in our next incarnation.  Others suggest that we will not have to wait for future incarnation to balance the scales.  Our karmic debts will be paid during this lifetime one way or another.  It has been asked “Why would one pass on the mistakes and wrongdoings of this life into the next life experience?  Karma is here and now and we build on it by our actions of today.  Remember karma is at work constantly and if you change direction, you can draw positive karma your way in this life, as well.  Karma is played out over time.  What length of time is under debate.  Instant karma, however, seems to take place when one has truly opened the doors to enlightenment.

You can change the course of your life....today.......right now.  It is your call as you create your life and your reality by your belief structure, your thought process and your expectation.  If you need to make changes, change your life’s course today.  Why wait another moment?

Stellium in Astrology

A Stellium in the Natal Astrology Chart contains at least 4 planets within 8 degrees to the next planet in the line or cluster of planets.  Each planet must be in the same sign or the same house.  The more planets within the Stellium, the more highlighted it becomes.  The planets within the Stellium work together as a group and give extraordinary emphasis to their ruling sign as well as the house in which the Stellium is located.

To decipher a Stellium the sign characteristics and the areas of life dictated by the house placement must be defined.  The planets that are the most closely linked affect the other planets, but even the ones on the far outside will experience influences from the central planets.  The planet closest to the midpoint of the configuration is the central planet and the one most sensitive.  Any Natal aspects that form close ties within this grouping of planets will further colour the intensity of this configuration and add influence to the rest of the Chart. 

Some of the positive characteristics that can be utilized when using the energy of the Stellium include the strong feeling of being in control of one’s own actions and focusing on the direction one must take in order to make the most out of a situation.  Many people with this combination are self-motivated and have a clear purpose that they will pursue with single mindedness that few attain in life.  It is as though there is a concentrated energy in the area of life indicated by the house position, and often one harvests talents in this area.  There is a definite sense of purpose with these individuals.

If the energies are not used correctly, there are often challenges that stand in the way of progress and in bringing these positive energies together.  Some develop self-centredness and obsessive qualities within the framework of the particular house involved.  Through miss use, these individuals will portray the negative traits of the sign, unfortunately.  There is narrowness in their point of view and they will display an unwillingness to listen to advice as they have difficulty making compromises and they lack objectivity.  Some become extremists in the area of life connected with the house emphasised which creates an imbalance that will need adjustment.

When the Stellium is affected by transits or progressions, these individuals experience an ongoing event period, the focus of which will depend on the planet involved and the aspect related to the Stellium.  They usually experience times of relative peace and serenity and then when the Stellium is activated, times of turmoil over an extensive time with much action and exuberance experienced. 

Check your Natal chart to see if you have a Stellium and find out what potential talent you have to express.  Astrology can pinpoint time frames in your life when these Stelliums are activated and how they will unfold in your life as well as the duration.  If the Stellium is in two signs or two houses the influence is similar but less intense.  The areas of life affected will encompass both houses and the area of life they rule.

Try for Your Own Gold Medal

As we recently have been engaged in the spirit of competition and our attention has been focused on the Olympics, we wanted to congratulate all our competitors.  It has been amazing to watch all of these dedicated people compete so fiercely.  They give their all to represent their countries.  It is incredible to watch them compete at the level they do and watch their reactions after the event.

Winning or losing, the outcome is important but it’s not the only productive consequence for all athletes.  They spend their whole lives dedicated to pushing their physical and mental limits.  It is all about perseverance and the belief that they can succeed.  It is about trying their best and moving beyond borders and limitations.  Holding a Gold medal in their hand must be an amazing feeling, although holding any medal must be quite the accomplishment.

We can surely learn from these athletes.  We as athletes of life are also in search of our gold medals, our rewards for hard work and perseverance through the storms of our life’s events.  We push ourselves through and come out on top, growing ever stronger, through our continued effort and belief that we can conquer this mountain that stands before us.

It is not all about winning or losing.  It is about doing our best and giving it our all.  As in the Olympic competitions, we push ourselves to the limit and focus on achieving.  This is our life’s quest.  No exceptions.  We walk this road together.  As the athletes learn the power of the mind and focus on doing the unthinkable, so must we in order to achieve our gold medals.

They constantly break world records and their own personal bests.  They have couches that prepare them mentally and physically for a better outcome, just as we are open to suggestion through spiritual teachings and guidance.  Go to any self-help page and read the little notes on affirmations that can be carried with you for the day, the week, the month and for your lifetime.

Follow through on some of your biggest challenges and make a difference.  Win your Olympic Gold, and conquer any challenges that lie in your way and which would hinder your personal success if you do not conquer them.  These Olympians work so very hard for their country and for their own personal rewards.  You can do the same on your own level of achievement.  Remember, no barrier is too large.  Do not let them stand in your way of succeeding in your life’s mission.  You come equipped with the tools to succeed, to meet any challenge and conquer any obstacle.  Reap your own rewards and capture your own personal gold medal.

LIFE’S ATROCITIES

This is dedicated to a very brave woman.  She knows who she is and is the living example of what we are about to speak of.......

It can be extremely difficult to understand some of the violence that occurs in our world!  Why do some need power over others and are determined to act with destructive behaviour?  How can someone commit heinous crimes against their earthly brother or sister?  What can be done to change these acts? 

It has been suggested that there are many causes of violence but there are two main workings identified with the basics for violence.  A trigger can create violent acts.  One working of the act of violence is as a result of anger carried to the extreme; and at times, the need for power and control or the need to take back control.   Secondly, these individuals can be predisposed to violence.  Violence is an unquestioned way of life and it lives within the individual who has committing the act.

There are those from a young age who have grown up living under conditions most of us cannot image.  This way of life is the norm in their eyes.  Some individuals live under a difference code of ethics than most of us are accustomed to.  This code can be put in place for many reasons.  It can be for survival whether it be in their own homes or on the streets.  This may seem somewhat extreme to you and I, but it is just a way of life for others.

Most of these individuals experience a life of feeling unloved and alone and often do not develop compassion for others. 

In no way are we suggesting that an explanation justifies these appalling, violent crimes.  There is no justification when someone becomes the target of cruelty and viciousness.  We are so bombarded with the media today that many believe our world is on a collision course.  Overall, people are kind and well-meaning but this does not make headlines. 

Each of us must promote peace by being peace.  We are the initiators, and we mold our world by our own focus and intentions.  It starts with you.  What can you do today to make your tiny corner of the world a better place to live?  How can you promote love and compassion in your immediate surroundings?  Be the example!  Show love and compassion to each individual you meet along your path.  Your smile or acknowledgement of their existence can make a difference in their world.  What is the cost to you?  What are the ripple effects of your actions or interactions? 

If we mold our reality through thought, through interchange of concepts and through belief structure, can we not influence those around us? Our reality is based on expectations and our view of our world.  If we learn to focus our attention, surely we can shift the consciousness of mankind.  It does take action on your behalf and with help through numbers and the actual believe that it can happen, we can move mountains.

Start at home and then in your workplace, walking down the street and with your friends.  Assist us in shaping our world into a better place for everyone.  We are not here by chance and this is a great part of our united purpose.  It is not by chance that we are here together.  If we move together as one force are capabilities are boundless.  If we become diligent in our action both physically and mentally, instead of being bystanders, we will prevail.  It begins with you.  Take your stand to assist in nurturing our world, starting today!

THE TWELFTH HOUSE IN ASTROLOGY

As we have now moved into the sign of Pisces and Pisces is the natural ruler of the twelfth house, we thought we would take a look at this house and what it represents in our life’s expression.  In ancient Astrology, this house was related to confinement, serious illness and encompassed hospitals, large institutions and prisons.  It was known as the garbage bin of the Zodiac.  Although in modern Astrology the twelfth house still encompasses many of these character traits, it is no longer viewed as a negative force for it is understood that there is no such thing as a “bad” house.

It is still related to captivity in a sense in that this is where we sweep our challenges under the proverbial carpet.  We assume by doing so that we do not have to deal with the issues.  Ultimately, we all have to deal with our difficulties and the twelfth house is actually where we can go to make contact to the higher forces and ask for assistance in understanding why life sometimes takes us down pathways that are less desirable.  The answers to this question can be found through cultivating a connection with our inner selves, linked to the twelfth house.  This is the house of intuition and psychic abilities. 

The difficulty lies in our perception, in not seeing things clearly, and sometimes we resort to illusionary concepts.  This is where confinement comes into play for if one does not learn to deal with the harsh realities of life, the mind can break down and one can become institutionalized.  Hospitals for serious illness, psychiatric hospitals and wards are linked with this house.  The twelfth house is a place of solitude, a place where one can spend time alone and find solutions to difficulties encountered in life.  The unconscious works in mysterious ways and often threw meditation practice these issues can be resolved.

The twelfth house is where we sum up all our actions and come to terms with where we have been and after careful deliberation, prepare for our next course of action.  The next course of action is usually initiated when we enter the first house.   The twelfth house leads to positive transformations through deliberation and internal confrontation with what we could call our self-made demons.  These so called demons if left unchallenged can gain strength and deter spiritual growth.  It is always best to confront issues in life and the twelfth house when used properly is the inner channel to the ultimate truth.

The twelfth house pushes us forward with determined yet subtle methods to uncover the reality behind our fears.  This house aides us in fulfilling our destiny with spiritual connectivity and intuitional accuracy which each of us have within.  These tools simply need to be developed and the twelfth house helps us to do just that.

Anger and Violence

Anger and violence are a far more frequent form of expression in our society than we would like to admit.  Frequently, we hear about domestic violence and abuse within family circles.  Most people, although against these types of behaviour, still often carry out what could be referred to as minor forms of these abuses.  Abuse has changed forms in many homes and although the general tone has certainly lessened overall from our past cultures, anger is still a regular issue.  In modern society, rage and vicious responses find their way into people’s lives frequently.

Why is it acceptable for even the most loving of individuals to express themselves through aggressive verbal response and abusive intrusion?  It is said that holding our feelings inside carries the potential for dangerous physical reactions (disease).  Surely there is a happy medium.  It is up to each of us to find our own way of releasing tension and stress, whether it be through exercise or some other alternate means of expression. 

A regular exercise routine can prevent or at least alleviate much anger and resentment which is harboured within.  Everyone can find 10 to 30 minutes each day to release their stress through a walk or a more strenuous form of exercise. 

If we address most issues at their onset, we can avoid the potential for aggressive interaction with others.

Exercising the mind through processing your emotions can also become an argument saver.  Instead of concentrating on what it is that is infuriating you, let it go and release the stress and tension.  Take the time to logically process the information.  You make the choice.  You make the decision to react and to carry the weight of events which usually end up out of your control.  Your reaction and your focus are truly in your hands.  When you feel a possible argument building, question yourself whether there is a probable positive outcome if you proceed or a probable stressful event possible if you proceed. 

 Most arguments and heated situations result from the need to be correct.  The ego holds reigns over wanting to be correct.  How important is it to be the one who is right and if you find yourself trying to uphold an idea, even if it is not an idea, but actual fact, is it worth a debate if your true intention is to find peace?  Gage the value of continuing a dispute and how important your point of view really is.  Some will fight to the bitter end over concepts and ideas that are truly irrelevant in the grand scheme of this life.

Learn to foresee or anticipate potential disagreements before they are allowed the opportunity to expand into monsters.  Use your discretion and express your truths and wisdoms through example.   Express wisdom through channeling love and peace around you. 

In most cases, it is very difficult for someone to become angry with you when the only thing that is generated from within your consciousness is love.  It is not being soft or showing weakness when you back off and address the issue through the expressions of love.  This attitude will strengthen your resolve and others will come to terms with the strength of your response.  The expression of anger and aggression is a spontaneous reaction but it is detrimental to your emotional and physical health.  Expression through love is far more healthy in all ways.  Expose and express that loving, gentle self that resides within.

Sun in Pisces

Tomorrow, February 19, we enter into the sign of Pisces, the last astrological placement of the Zodiac.  Pisces is said to contain segments of all the previous signs and may be our final step in our earthly evolution, depending on the level of awareness attained in this lifetime.  Pisces individuals are known to be dreamy to those less sensitive and prophetic in their nature.  Pisceans display psychic ability and mystical leanings.  There is something very distant about many Pisces individuals, and they seem to intuitively sense the emotional currents that surround them.

They are usually very compassionate and sensitive people, who have a soft spot for anyone undergoing life’s sometimes difficult experiences.  They also have concern for the underdog and go out of their way to assist others in need.  They are extremely self-sacrificing and some can become vulnerable to the harsher side of life.  Some individuals will take advantage of the Pisceans’ caring nature and exploit them.  As the Pisces individuals mature, they sometimes learn hard lessons from these abuser type people and eventually learn to discriminate between those that genuinely require their help and those that just use them.

Those with a strong Sun in Pisces simply need to have a purpose; they need a sense of worth and a driving force pushing them towards their goal of spirituality.  Life lessons are understood as prerequisites in this journey and many will martyr themselves for the sake of others.  If they become caught up in misleading adventures in life, some will resort to the use of alcohol and drugs to escape the hard core facts that life can dictates.  Some resort to living in an imaginary world of their own and build walls of protection so their extreme sensitivity is not invaded.

Many have a creative flair. Music, the arts and creative writing are just a few of the boundless artistic expressions that can be used to express their magical force.  When in love, Pisceans love deeply and are considered selfless.  They will orientate themselves to service for others on a high level of spirituality.  When in harmony with their inner journey, they feel on purpose and the intuitive side can reach almost mystical proportions.  Many develop psychic abilities as they mature into their role in life, although some become lost in confusion through unveiling forces that can infiltrate their sensitivity and compassion.  Often, these sparks of imagination can run rampant if not kept under a watchful eye.  The imaginary qualities linked to this sign are the motivating factor behind their driving force towards a spiritual connection.  The imagination is also their inner strength as long as they have one eye focused on reality.

Life lessons often include finding their mission, creating a sense of self-worth and meaning in their lives that goes beyond self.  Through meditation and the practice of selfless living, many will reach heights unimaginable for those on a more physical, material journey.  Pisces has been linked to the purity in spirituality, and we can all learn valuable life lessons through this often misunderstood sign.

Dreams

It has been said that dreams are a gateway to the subconscious, the interlinking channel between the awaken state and the subconscious realms. Dreams are a ver...y significant source of information. They usually speak of the current conditions apparent and sometimes unapparent in life. Dreams are parables connected with what is transpiring in your life and offer potential solutions to difficulties at hand or information that can be deciphered about coming events.

Dreams are very symbolic and when analysing your dreams it is very important to pay attention to the underlying details contained in the dream. For example, was it a clear, sunny day or were the conditions rather stormy with dark clouds? Was the water rough and dark, or was the water gentle and clear? Were you watching the storm from inside or were actually partaking in the event outside?

These are clear representations to the current conditions surrounding your life’s events and if you put it all together, you can come to a conclusion. You are the best one to decipher your dreams meanings. You are the one partaking in the dream and your recall outweighs anyone else’s concept. You are also the one who is living under the current conditions in your life and the dream can provide you with information of the upcoming events or present circumstances.

You will need to decipher what the people represent in the dream to you. Who are they? Do you know them and if you do, what do these individuals represent to you? If you dream of animals, what do these animals suggest to you? If you see a lion, does this represent fear to you or something majestic? Are they aggressive in their actions or are they gentle and amiable. There are many variables but with practice you can begin to assimilate what the dream is relaying to you.

If the dream is extensive and extremely variable, it could represent a trying time when you are attempting to put all the pieces together. Some dreams are vivid, and these are the most significant. If you begin to programme your subconscious by repeating as you are going to sleep, “I will remember my dreams”, your recall will improve upon wakening. It is wise to write down your dream as soon as you wake, as this is when it is most clear. You begin to lose the details as you become fully awake and unfortunately the conscious mind will add details and it will interfere with what the details of the dream.

Often times your initial impression is the most accurate, but sometimes the dream makes sense later on, as events in life begin to surface that link the dream to current conditions. Dreams can often be prophetic and mystical in nature. This may define your current evolutionary condition and where you are heading. As you become comfortable and more proficient with analysing your dreams, you will remember more and more and the process becomes easier.

It takes time for the process to run smoothly, and you will need a great deal of patience and consistency in order to activate the mind’s focus, as with all of life’s awakenings. Do not discard your dreams as meaningless mumbo-jumbo. They have great meaning and this meaning becomes more clear as you progress along and learn to decipher them. Your dreams are the awakened state of the subconscious, and if you are in tuned, they can be prophetic. It has been said that you only remember the last stages of the dream state but regardless, you are opening the door for further information to be digested.

Lunar Node Chart or Moon's Nodes in Astrology

 

 The Moon's Nodes help to keep us on track--on our intended path and clarifies the “why” behind our earthly existence.  They explain our purpose and help us to delineate our karmic lessons and our missions.

More than a Valentine's Day Wish

Love defined is the intense feeling of deep affection for another person or living thing.  There are many different forms of love, the love given to a partner, a child, a friend, a stranger in need.  Each and every living being and animal that shares this existence with us offers an opportunity to express your love.  There is also another form of the love.  One that is so often forgotten and yet most important; this love is the love given to oneself.

Take a moment and reflect on the wonder of your life with all of its complexities, your friends and the loved ones you are so fortunate to share this existence with.  Utilize this day set aside for “love” (not with material goods) by sharing your presences.  Share your life’s experience by showing the love you have for others, without measure.  For the individuals that hold a special place in your heart, confirm your affection for them today.  Then take it one step further to allow this sentiment to be expressed each and every day of the year through a special gesture or word. 

Just as important, do not forget the opportunity to spread your love to strangers which you meet along your path.  There are many among us that are alone and in need of a loving gesture no matter how small.  Create a ripple effect that is generated by one small gesture or one small action of love. 

Today should be the beginning of an endless expression.  Regularly, do something meaningful for your loved ones without the requirement of a special day.  Express your love in your own special way on a day that they would never expect anything special of you.  Become spontaneous and act on that little whim that surfaces from time to time.  These unprompted moments of unplanned action are the special moments.

February 14 is a day celebrated by many lovers but if you were to take the time to read the legends, you may questions why as the story does not have such a happy ending.

We should celebrate love, romantic or otherwise, every day.  Life itself is a celebration of love and we share this planet in one degree or another with every living thing in existence--even plant life thrives when shown love.  The magnificence of this life carries with it love in many shapes and forms.  We simply need to open up to the beauty and love that is generated around us on a continuous basis, each and every day!

As you reach out today take time to reflect on the love that surrounds you and then on what you can do to express and be a part of this beautiful and natural process.  Love each other without exception.  Give special thanks for the love that encompassed you.  Never lose sight of the importance and deep ingrained meaning that life provides.  Release the love that is generated from within.  It will be returned tenfold.  Everything has a beginning.  Why not nurture this natural process of love and allow it to grow, first from within and then to overflow.

TRANSITING URANUS IN OPPOSITION TO NATAL URANUS IN ASTROLOGY

Since we are in the sign of Aquarius and the ruling planet of Aquarius is Uranus, we thought we would discuss the opposition Uranus makes to itself around the age 40-42.  This post applies to many of our readers, as many are in this age group.  It is considered to be a very significant aspect in your Natal Chart and a turning point in life’s direction.  When deciphering this aspect, please take into consideration the placement of Uranus in your Birth Chart by house, as well as the house transiting Uranus is moving through.  These houses signify the areas of life that are being awakened to new and exciting possibilities in your life.

This is a period of major transitions in life, known by many as the mid-life crisis, when you have a strong feeling that you only have a short time to live your former life, as a new horizon is just around the next corner.  This is the time when people resort to buying that new flashy automobile, or have that fling as they believe that life is about to change and they do not want to miss anything.  This does not imply that most people will resort to this type of behaviour, only that if one is not satisfied to this point, they may reach out for something new and exciting.  The misunderstanding with this is that these individuals think that they can find satisfaction in their life from the outside world, rather than looking inside for the answers.

Often people feel that life’s shortcomings or what they think is missing in life has to be obtained now as time is running short.  This is a misconception and far from reality, as they are only just beginning the second half of life.  The first half consisted of external motivation, such as career, the building of resources and focusing on the material side of life and getting ahead in a worldly way.  The second half of life which is now beginning to materialize when one will be forced to go within to face oneself and to start to make alterations to what is important for their own personal life.

Many experience a sudden change in direction, such as moving out of a long term marriage or occupation with the hopes that they can quench this thirst that is occurring in their lives.  Once again, they are looking outside for answers and jumping.  The nature of Uranus is to jump and seek out personal freedom of expression.  This period suggests a climax and honest look at life’s direction--where it is now and where you want to take it.  People often spend long hours reviewing their lives and what they have accomplished.  Some make radical changes with the hope of finding meaning in their lives.  Others try to make something new of themselves through as vocational changes, change of residence, new friends and acquaintances.

The direction in life is often unclear during this phase and what lies ahead can be frightening, but much depends on your life’s attitude, your belief structures and what matters to you.  It may be time to turn that corner in your life; to open yourself to new horizons and to objectively face who you truly are.  The changes that occur are often considered radical and often present themselves in quick and sudden exchanges.  Move forward in your new direction, but take your time and be sure you are making appropriate changes to your life that not only appeal to you but corroborate with the good of the whole.

Security

Within there is an internal networking where we can go too to find security.  There are many individuals that believe they can find a measure of security from external sources.  Many believe that security is found in success and with the rewards success can supply.  Financial rewards are often the offspring of material advancement and many people hold such great significance on these achievements. 

There are those that judge others according to the name they have made for themselves or the position gained in their life’s profession.  People are gauged by what they own and by the clothes hanging in their closet.  Is this recognition not superficial?  There are those that are impressed by intellect and the ability to express one’s self.  They measure life solely by the schooling or training received.

Material security can supply us with less “survival” worries but although these acquired material goods for some bring a sense of achievement, this sense is usually quite short lived.  That brand new vehicle may be a joy to tour in and the new home may be a source of pride, but the car is only new for so long and ultimately it gets you from point A to point B.  The house truly is only a place to protect you and keep you warm. 

What is actually needed to accomplish security?  At some point, material rewards become pleasures of the past and no longer hold the relevance and enjoyment they originally did.

There is a sense of self worth that comes from achievement.  Perhaps even more relevant is the time taken and the work completed to reach this culmination point.  Does this not build confidence?  True security comes from within and cannot be established through material rewards or even hard work and its achievements.  

The greatest rewards come from working on self and being aware of the advancement taking place on an internal level.  Spiritual achievement is not something that is achieved by balancing the books on your finances, but through balancing the books of your life.  Living your life according to the standards you wish to attain within the framework of that which you truly are holds a more rewarding outcome.  Security comes from knowing that you are pursuing the right path.  You obtain a feeling for what is right for you as life progresses and living within these guidelines requires effort and the knowledge that the individual you are striving to bring to the surface actually resides within.

Security cannot be measured, but it slowly develops with each step you take to bringing yourself closer to your true essence – our source.  Our true essence is composed of compassion, happiness, trust and above all else love.  You just need to understand that the door to your heart, to love, is always open; and as you progress in your spiritual development, security is a by-product that matures without any application on your part.  It just happens.

Astrology's Moon in Aquarius

As we are current influenced by the sign of Aquarius, we thought we would look at how the Moon would affect those with the lunar placement of Aquarius.  The Moon, as defined by Master Astrologer Noel Tyle, is our reigning need.  The sign placement of the Moon at birth will define this need and characterize the individual.  This description will also apply to those individuals with Sun in Aquarius, Moon or Sun in the eleventh house, and/or the Ascendant in Aquarius.

These individuals are considered very observant and will spend countless hours trying to define what drives other people, and why they react to outside stimuli the way they do.  Most influenced by Aquarius will feel that they are different somehow, and in many cases, they are.  They walk their own walk and talk their own talk, unashamed of their uniqueness and their apparent individualistic mindset.

They are idealistic and progressive thinkers and many Aquarians are emotionally detached.  Many would believe that anxieties are linked to fear and emotional sensitivities that lead to fear do not exist for most Aquarians.  This belief structure is particularly noticeable when they offer advice to those that are extremely emotional.  Aquarians would offer intellectual solutions and a direct approach that sometimes renders them distant and emotionally unavailable.

There is a marked need for freedom and independence throughout life which would be more apparent in the early years when they somehow knew they were different.  In their early years, they may have preferred to remain by themselves although most are social and capable to communication on a wide variety of subjects.  In youth, they may have been prone to temper tantrums and never did well in emotionally messy situations.  This would also be true as they age and are maturing.  They are proficient at handling other people’s anxieties and can offer advice that may lift others out of their conundrum, but may lose touch with their own emotional barriers.

Most are kindhearted and compassionate individuals who genuinely care and wish to assist.  They make loyal and trustworthy companions and do well in groups and organizations where people of like-minds can absorb their innate knowledge.  They are eccentric in their nature but can always assist in furthering everyone else’s potential growth.  Many Aquarius individuals are considered very unreliable when it comes to the so called little details in life.  They are focused on the big picture and are always plunging forward in search of new horizons and adventures to enhance life and enrich the lives of those around them.

Our Path

Am I on track?  Is my path predestined?  Will I know when I am off track? 

Next time you meditate, ask definition of whom you are.  Go to the higher sources and make this request known.  At first, the answer may come in a brief response; clear with just a few words.  Perhaps the answer will consist of only one word, but keep up this pursuit and continually present the question to open self to dialogue without interfering with the response.  It will come perhaps in small segments, perhaps in a much bigger picture, but it will come.  Be patient as the inner source will provide the answer to those who are serious.  It may not be the answer you are looking for.  It will, however, surely be something that needs to come to your attention.

Many of us ponder the question, “Am I on track?”  After digging into “who am I”, and obtaining some guidance with this question, you also begin to uncover your mission.  Your mission is linked to who you are.  If you question your mission, you also question who you are.  You are always on track with your quest even when you still have questions.  Your purpose and how you link up with your destiny is uncovered gradually as life unfolds.  Many of us do not understand our mission, but we willing proceed as life opens doors.  It will happen, but often times not when you think you are ready, or when you feel the time is right.  You cannot lose faith.  If you do, you are running with your ego’s sense of impatience and are putting too much focus on what “you” believe you were born to do.  This only interferes with your true mission.

If you question, you still do not understand.  Once you truly know, there is no question.  It is only then that you move forward at a rate of speed that is suited for you as you are a unique individual.  There is no rushing.  The path will be unlocked when you are ready to move forward.  This may be upsetting to the ego, but you must understand that the forces that mediate the process know our level of understanding and know precisely when to open the next door. 

Life is a quest to live though true love and to learn this without question.  You have always known this instinctively.  There are many forms of love and many lessons to help us learn and recognize this.  As we do learn our life lessons, we will not be surprised as we slowly uncover our truths.

Will you know when you are off track?  Most certainly!  There is no doubt about it.  You will get little nudges throughout life that push you and makes you think about your life’s direction and what you need to do to get back on track again.  Do you intentionally have to move back onto your path?  It is highly suggested that you do as this is your purpose.  Some choose not to follow the path of least resistance and choose a path with obstacles and challenges.  The end result is still the same.  Spirit insists that you learn what you have come to learn and subconsciously you agree whether or not you are aware of it.  It is best to follow the clear and least obstructive path, but many choose to alter the direction and in so doing, learn difficult lessons along the way.  Without doubt, we all gain great insight through the struggles.

If life tables the occasional difficulty, we may stumble but continue on hardly noticing the interruption.  However, when life tables several issues or conditions, your response can create stress and you can allow yourself to be overwhelmed.  Take a good look around you and review what is going on.  There are undoubtedly many conditions that you are responding to in a stressful way, and as a result of your response, you are deeply affected on one level or another.  Step back and have an honest look.  The simple act of reflecting can ease this stress.

Toxic Relationship

Toxic relationships that just seem to drain you of your virtues and essence do not have to be forever. If you find yourself in a relationship that is damaging you emotionally and perhaps even physically, why would you feel that you must stay? You must examine the “why” behind this thinking. You must be truthful to yourself. Is the relationship worth being infuriated, emotionally drained or int...imidated? Have you physically been pushed around? Even just one physical encounter is unacceptable.

Relationships can produce unhealthy conditions that must be discarded to preserve your inner self. In many instances, those being crushed by hurtful remarks or physical control are too afraid or not confident enough to walk away. The idea of being alone or financially burdened or even the fear of retaliation jails some people in stagnant or violent relationships. Some individuals remain because they feel they deserve to be punished.

You have to ask yourself, “Am I happy?”. Once again be honest with your response. If the answer is no, take your questioning a little further. Am I unhappy due to my expectations of my partner or am I unhappy due to abnormal conditions in my relationship?

Perhaps there are children subject to these abnormal occurrences. Do they watch violence or depression due to circumstance? Do they believe that abuse, either physical or mental, is normal in relationships due to their experiences? Do not allow these enormous atrocities to weigh heavily on these innocent lives.

These little ones when subject to this level of animosity and hatred will carefully decipher the words being used and the actions being taken on a totally different level than you or I do. You are providing these little minds with information and teaching them a distorted concept of right, wrong and “normal”. If you raise them under adverse conditions and they see you infuriated, stressed, depressed on a regular basis, you are embedding these conditions as “normal” for their futures.

If the relationship is beyond healing or if you remain in this relationship for your children, perhaps it is time to review your priorities. If you are being verbally abused or physically assaulted, love yourself enough to step away. You and your family deserve to be happy.

Never give up on life, regardless of what the mind infers. Know that if you are willing to take the first step to help yourself, regardless of how painful that first step is, the possibilities are endless. Any thoughts of retribution or denial or even thoughts of self-worthlessness will need to be examined, perhaps with a professional.

Stand tall and make your move. Do not give up or resort to permanent solutions for temporary conditions. There is a future that is awaiting you, but before you can move forward, you have to let go of the past.

You are equipped with great strength and have a full reservoir of love and happiness reserved in “your name”. Move out of illusion and into reality. Believe you can do it. Happiness comes from within and the door is wide open. Walk through. Do not surrender yourself. You were born to soar! Allow this to happen.

MERCURY RETROGRADE February 6, 2014 - ASTROLOGY

Mercury goes retrograde 3 to 4 times each year.  Mercury will be going retrograde from February 6  through February 28, 2014.  It will moves through the sign of Pisces and then into Aquarius.  It is suggested that Mercury retrograde will affect those individuals that were born with Mercury retrograde in their Birth Charts more than those who were born with it direct. 

Make note of the house placement of Mercury in your horoscope.  Also note if it conjuncts any planet or angle during its motion.  The sign it is in during this time will be reflective of mental adjustments aligned with the sign where it is located in your Natal chart.  It may also affect the area of life dictated by the house position.  You must also take into account the placement of Mercury’s in your Natal chart--its house position and the aspects to it.  Much of what your Natal chart suggests may be area’s that will be affected by Mercury’s transit.

Mercury retrograde is not a huge life-changing event; however, it deserves mention due to the fact that Mercury is associated with the workings of the mind.  As Mercury begins to slow down or at least appear to slow down, some individuals experience a slowing of daily affairs and one will have time to reflect and contemplate life’s events.  It is considered a chance to go over old material that you may have ignored or left buried.  You may review decisions or try to make decisions but remember that quite often the best laid plans go astray during the retrograde motion.  It is best to wait until Mercury has completed its retrograde cycle before you move forward in the direction you choose.  It seems that the odds of things working well are often greater after Mercury goes direct.

It is suggested that one remains flexible during times of Mercury retrograde and not to sign any agreements or written documents.  There is a better success rate after retrograde motion is finalized.  If Mercury is not making contacts with Natal planets or is not very poorly aspected in the Birth chart, you need not worry as things remain relatively tame and little interferes will occur with plans. 

This is a time of self-study.  This is a time to reflect on who you are and what steps you might take to improve your self image.  Often individuals have issues return from the past; some lesson not quite learned or a concept failed.  It is now revisiting to give you the opportunity to finish that which needs to be completed.  You may now have the opportunity to make alternate plans, changes in direction, correct judgement calls or to get back on course after an errant turn.  These opportunities will present themselves when Mercury is direct in motion again.

It suggests that people and personal ideas are often the key to moving forward in a sound direction.  Some experience insights on alternate levels that propel them forward in a new direction.  In most cases unless highly afflicted (in the Natal chart and afflicted in the transit through connection with planets or angles), it is usually not a time to be overly concerned as very little may actually happen. 

Use this time to activate your mental process as the mental process is stimulated.  This could be the time that you discover hidden channels especially when Mercury moves through Pisces from the February 6 to February 13, 2014.

Spirit Guides

On occasion, do you feel as though someone is watching over you especially when you are deeply immersed in times of tribulations?  Have you ever been through a traumatic period in life when there appears to be no hope, and then suddenly, you feel relieved as if someone has taken part of the weight off of your shoulders?  These turbulent times are necessary ingredients to your ongoing growth and have been put in place to provide you with tests for your perseverance, patience, compassion, strength, etc.  When you have invested long periods of time working through these events and you get to that point where you feel there is nothing more you can do, this is when you will uncover the assistance you require.

You are never alone, no matter how alone you may feel.  When life seems desperate and there is no way around a barrier, there is always someone right over your shoulder ready to assist you in ways that enhance spiritual development.  It is not all about making it through the trauma with ease.  It is about lessons well learned in the process.  Spirit guides are always at your side and will assist you in taking the correct decisive action, or making accurate judgement calls.  They will push you in the direction that will best promote not only healing but will aid you in gaining inner strength and inner confidence.

Sometimes upon initial receipt of this guidance, you may wonder why you feel that this is your best option.  It may not even make sense logically although it will feel right.  This is the starting point; the change in direction.  Remember, that any transition period (even for the better) encompasses the most difficult of times.  As you move forward in your judgement call or new direction, it may be a little frightening at first, as it is new and you are traveling uncharted territory.  Something tells you to forge ahead and you are provided with confidence although you may not feel it is warranted.   Understand that without the notion of confidence which comes to you from the other side, you would never make the necessary adjustments and you would stagnate to the point of total disillusionment and eventually falter with no clear path and no decisive action.  You would be lost in doubt.

Although the path at times is difficult and unclear, believe in the little voice that says you are on the right path and you are making the right decision.  Your guides can always be counted on.  They are with you every step of the way, always at your proverbial finger tips.  Know this and understand that you are never alone through life’s drama, and you will always make your way through the obstruction.  There is always an answer.  You are never to give up.  You must have faith and believe that you will find the answer; you will return to your life’s more enjoyable path.  You have a mission.  Only you can stand in your way.  Listen to the guidance that is there, you need only choose to listen.  It is then that you will move beyond that barrier and you will uncover the happiness and love that is everyone’s right.  There are no exceptions!  Believe, have confidence and be open to the quiet voice that speaks to you.

Neptune and Jupiter in Astrology

Today, we are focusing on the combination of the two planets Neptune and Jupiter.  To uncover any relationship between these two planets, input your birth information into any reputable astrological site to create your Chart diagram.  Check to see if there are any connections between these two giants in your horoscope.  We will not be defining any particular aspect between these two planets, but will be defining the positive attributes when they are conjoined in a Chart.

Jupiter’s nature is to expand and open up areas that can lead to spiritual growth, as well as the development of knowledge that can promote a greater understanding into spiritual philosophies.  Jupiter is all about higher learning and often promotes good luck and good fortune in the areas touched by it in the Chart and it areas that are ruled by it in the Chart.

Neptune when operating in its higher octave deals directly with mysticism and spiritual connections.  It promotes intuitive perception, psychic inclinations and operates from a very high source-- connecting with the spiritual plane.  Neptune will stimulate the imagination and inspires you in the area it is located in the Birth Chart as well as the area it rules.

On the positive side, which is the focus of this post, when together in positive aspect, Neptune and Jupiter often produce magical, mystical experiences on very high levels.  There is wonderment in the making and an innate understanding of the workings of the intangible.  There are strong leanings towards the God Principle and a deep connection with this approach to life, as there are those individuals that would suggest that this belief structure is unsound. 

To individuals with this connection in their Chart, these principles are quite sound and are one of the strongest foundation points in their life.  They can yield to these principles and can always lean on them in times of challenge.  The mind and actual living conditions are cemented in the higher realms of being and operate through mystical channels.  These connections are often dormant in those that choose a more material approach to life.

The individuals with this connection believe that by following their mystical inclinations, they will help alter the world, perhaps in small increments, but within a force that guides to new and unexplored dimensions of reality. They believe that as a force, they can transcend the world to greater consciousness and help mold a more altruistic environment for all mankind to live in.

As expressed earlier, this segment applies to those with these combinations strong in their Charts and in good connection with other planets, but the overall affect of any aspect configuration involving these two planetary links can bring most individuals to higher principled realms of existence.

RELATIONSHIPS THAT MATTER

If you are in a relationship that holds special significance in your life and the road is under construction, the route is twisted and you are not sure which way to turn, you need to listen to the inner voice of reason without ego interruption.  The voice within that speaks about turmoil and obstruction without little chance of rectification is the ego’s intervention.  The ego thrives on uncertainty and anguish and will intentionally play havoc with your emotions.  Ego will try to filter your thoughts.  It can be relentless in its pursuit, as control is its prime objective which is at any cost.

If you listen a little more intensely and allow your mind to pass by the ego’s inference that is telling you something is wrong within the relationship, you can begin to find a place of solace where the ego’s intent cannot penetrate.  You may ask the question “What can I do to make this meaningful relationship survive the onslaught of interference that seems to be prevailing at the moment?”  You must approach with the understanding that it is up to you to carry out this intervention.  Never expecting the other to alter or make changes for you, because this is what true love is.  You will always find a solution and actually a very simple one to help you to accept this partner for who they truly are.  Remember, we are referring to a relationship that has true meaning with a loving partner, a partner who is not abusive, one who is not stifling the relationship, one who is not reducing you to a dull reflection of self.

The mind tends to dig deep for answers to relinquish internal dilemmas and outside obstructions that sometimes come into our lives but only “appear” to be an immovable object.  The answer is truly simple, but before we go into this explanation it is suggested that you view your current life’s conditions and the environment you are living in.  If you are honest and look at the big picture, you will probably find that you have been living under conditions that are stressful and outside influences are the cause behind what is taking place in your world now.

If life tables the occasional difficulty, we undoubted fight through the circumstance without much attention.  However, when life tables several issues or conditions, your response to your current condition can create stressful and you can allow yourself to be overwhelmed. 

Take a good look around you and see what is going on.  There are probably many conditions that you are responding to in a stressful way, and as a result of your response, you are deeply affected on one level or another.  Step back and have an honest look.

The issue is not between you and your partner.  You and your partner love one another, thought at times it is hard to recognize.  The love is deep and persevering and you feel that although life is stressful and your actions sometimes infiltrate your partner’s well-being, you honestly mean no harm.  It is just a release valve and unfortunately, your partner takes some of your steam.  This is not acceptable, because there are other avenues of release that can be pursued.  Consider changing your eating habits, developing a healthy exercise routine, practice meditation and asking the higher forces for assistance.

The answer to your problem has already been disclosed, or at least a major part of its source.  Now what can you do to make things better?  As previously stated, it is simple.  Show your partner that you love them.  Be expressive in your love.  Sit close together, hold hands, and talk openly about how you feel without resentment and blame.  Your world is a reflection of what takes place within and this is the starting point.  Make inner adjustments to your being, to your attitude toward life and your expectations of what you think life holds for you and your partner.  Raise your expectation level a degree or two, and reflect.  You love each other.  This you truly do not question.  Be sure to show it!
