Pluto Conjunct the Midheaven

We thought it necessary to revisit the conjunction with Pluto to the Midheaven.  We will speak in terms of how this affects us if it is located in the birth chart and also briefly define how it will affect us when Pluto transits our natal Midheaven.

Pluto on the Midheaven at birth suggests an individual with a powerful presence especially in the working environment.  They will have the ability to transform the working environment not only for themselves but also for those that they either work for or work with.  This is a position speaks of leadership and the changes that can take place in this person’s life when they transform working conditions and regenerate this area of their life.  There may be some struggles of wills when it comes to moving forward with their objectives but any challenges would help facilitate required change to further the evolutionary cause this individual would be undergoing.  This process would be very deep and would describe changes and transformations on a fairly constant basis where the individual would go through permanent changes once the process has completed its course of action.

There will be no half measures with this ongoing process as the transformation is usually on a very deep and personal level and often life altering.  This is a position of regeneration of life goals.  This individual would gain recognition for their efforts of uncovering integral internal changes but these changes will usually require some participation from others in the working environment.  They may find that there is some opposition to these efforts by their superiors and the best route to follow is one where the ego stays in the background of whatever occurs.  Their approach would be usually quite aggressive and this might also stand in the way of progress, but standing in the shadows is not what these individuals are meant to be.

Much of their approach depends on the astrological sign involved.  For example, if Pluto is in Virgo, this generation of individuals would proceed in a meticulous fashion, digging up material that needs alteration and strategic changes, but will do so in a very organized manner.  Everything will have its place and their presentation would be accurate and detailed.  The Pluto Virgo individuals operate in a very orderly manner with expertise at their disposal.

Those with say Pluto in Scorpio may work below the radar and do things in a much more subtle manner.  They would go deep into what needs transformation and challenge tradition.  They would suggestion how the company would best work under most any condition.  They would be more subtle in their approach but have an impact that would not go unnoticed.  Their approach would be intense and also very complete.  Pluto Scorpio individuals would bring things to the surface that others may not even have noticed or dared to bring to the surface.  They may be more of the quiet type but would present an image of know-how and people would notice their presence.

When transiting Pluto is residing on the Midheaven, this period speaks of transformation in the working environment.  Depending on the overall conditions, there would be powerful influences taking place that may involve disruptions and major changes to take place.  There may be disruptions with people in power or authority and difficulties because of varying opinions.  Things might also move forward in that the changes that would take place would open doors for new positions of authority and offers to move up the corporate ladder into management positions. 

Pluto will uncover anything that needs to be transformed to a higher state in order to move forward regardless of obstruction.  Pluto will facilitate change on one level or another.

Formulating You True Expression

It is not about building personality during life’s growth periods, although this is often a by-product; it is about finding the appropriate outlet for self-expression.  We formulate our character as life passes and we are constantly building our personal approach to life through life experiences.  These experiences do create some personal identification, but this is subject to change because of life’s constant stimuli through events.

Our personal vibration varies in different degrees throughout life’s lessons and as we develop as an individual we gain insight, slowly fostering our personal expression.  We are building character and challenging any limiting conditions as we mature into ourselves and therefore, we go through periods of intense transformation where we require an alternate route to uncovering who we truly are.

As we progress along our life’s road, we get reminders of who we were and glimpses of who we are becoming.  It is all a developing story and the real us slowly continually emerges.  This true person that we are becoming slowly surfaces although the connection has always been there.  We just did not see it.  Who we are is the most natural expression of self that is always attainable, so in reality, we do not have to look very far.

The ultimate person that is attainable is the “real” you and anything that resides outside of that true personality will be released or challenged.  Any part of us that we do not agree with or do not resonate with is not part of the real person.  We can release this from our personality simply by not identifying with it.  If we do not like what we see then we do not identify with it.  Any trait that does not resonate with us is not part of us.  It is as easy as that!

To release any of these qualities, however, we first have to acknowledge that they exist and then in recognizing this, we are free to do with them what we please.  We may tweak it or we can release it all together.  Challenging these personality quirks provides us with many alternatives and the choice is often an easy one.  Moving from one thing to the next is not a challenging event if we understand the concept of self-creation and self-actualization.

We are the master of our own identity.  The only challenge we will meet is deciding what to keep or alter and what to expel. 

Take control of your expression to the world and discover your true identity today....in the moment.

Life's Eternal Flame

Where did we truly begin? 

If we were to go back to our birth, do you believe that there would be remnants or memories of a previous life still intact at that moment? 

Would there be memories of a distant past or would the experience only be closely linked to this present time? 

These are questions that have been pondered by many individuals who question the validity of past lives.  Reincarnation is a topic that requires an open mind as the concept, although many believe has been proven, still entices our imagination and there is much to be clarified.

Is this our first life?  Have we been here before?  If we have been here before then why do most of us not recall anything from our previous incarnations?  Would it interfere with our life’s purpose now?  Could it affect how we would live our life if we knew the why behind our existence? 

We can know in our hearts the answers to these questions but we could never explain the answers with true clarity.  Without doubt having the answers would take away a lot of the guess work we may have during parts of our lives.

Uncovering our inner personal story is part of our life’s purpose and many believe this is within our grasp.  Some believe it is found by living in the moment which is said to open doors to awaken our connection to life; however, many of us are far too busy living in our potential futures or are wrapped up in emotions from the past.  The past and the future are not where we are meant to focus our attention.  We have come to experience life to the fullest and this can only be done by living in the moment.

We will always continue our search of many questions, especially our true meaning for this appears to be part of our nature.  We have come with the answers but for most of us, they seem to be locked away.  Our present life is somehow linked to this unfolding story, but apparently it takes time to open up the information gates.  We all move at our own pace and we cannot rush our evolution.  There are steps we must take that will open each door, one door at a time and if we miss opening one door we might not be able to comprehend what lies beyond the next one.

Staying open to bridge the gap between our physical life and our spiritual life will certainly allow these doors of perception to open.  If we choose to stay focused strictly in the material world and exclude finding a connection to our deeper lives and its true meaning, then the doors will stay closed.  Could it be that those who choose to leave the doors closed are here to learn strictly from their feet being planted firmly on the earthly ground? 

For some of us we search beyond the working, sleeping world but it is important to respect the choices others have made.  Also respect what is important to you.  Follow the path that excites your heart even if no one else has been there before you.

Stellium in Astrology

A Stellium in the Natal Astrology chart contains at least 4 planets within 8 degrees to the next planet in line and they must all be in the same sign or the same house.  The more planets within the Stellium the more highlighted it becomes.  The planets within the framework of the Stellium work together as a group and give extraordinary emphasis on the astrological sign they are in as well as the house in which the Stellium is located.

When deciphering a Stellium, you must look at the specifics of the sign characteristics as well as the area of life that is represented by the house.  The planets that are the most closely linked affect the other planets, but even the ones on the far outside of the Stellium will experience influences from the central planets.  The planet closest to the midpoint of the configuration is the central planet and is the planet that is 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 energies of the Stellium include the strong feeling of being in control of ones 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 a single mindedness that few attain in life.  It is as though there is a concentrated energy in the area of life which is represented by the house position.  Often one reaps talent in this area as well.  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 with the ability to bring these positive energies together.  Some develop self-centredness and obsessive qualities within the area represented by the house involved and portray negative traits of the sign as well.  Again if the energies are not used correctly, there would be narrowness in their point of view with an unwillingness to listen to advice, as they have difficulty making compromises and lack objectivity.  Some become extremists in whatever area of life is connected with the house which is emphasised.  This will create an imbalance that will need adjustment.

When the Stellium is affected by transit or progression, these individuals experience an ongoing event period depending on the planet involved and aspect related to the Stellium.  They usually experience times of relative peace and serenity and then when the Stellium is activated depending again on the aspect, they will experience times of turmoil and/or extensive times of action and exuberance. 

Check your Natal chart for a Stellium and find out what potential talent you have to express.  Astrology can pinpoint time frames in your life when the Stellium will be activated and how it will unfold in your life as well as the duration the effects will have effect. 

If the Stellium is in two signs or two houses, the influence is similar but less intense.  The areas of life affected will change and will encompass both houses and the area of life both of these houses rule.

Believe in Your Abilities

It is important to realize and accept what you contribute to the world around you.  Your part is important, and you should never underestimate what you are here to do.  In your opinion, it might seem insignificant and you might underestimate what you consider your redeeming qualities.  Understand that this is “your” perspective and this perspective can be distorted.  Others undoubtedly view your capabilities on a totally different level than you may.

When you render your innate qualities and talents as useless and insignificant you sell yourself short.  You may even be blocking the achievement of what you have come to do.  The abilities of any early development are often dwarfed compared to the final outpouring after practice and nurturing of talents.  It is important, therefore, to not sell yourself short as you will stagnate your progress in its infancy and could even halt any further capabilities in the future.  Selling yourself short serves no positive purpose but it will certainly slow down the progress and hinders the real intentions behind your story.

Believing in yourself and your abilities regardless of what they are activates your evolution.  In most cases, we move forward in small stead steps but each step brings us one step closer to our individual purpose.  We have a special purpose to fulfill, our own unique part to play in the unfolding story we call life. 

We do not know for sure where our abilities and talents are going to take us nor do we know the extent of importance our role is in other’s lives.  Our role could be as important as parenting and guiding a child to their success.  What will their influence be on society?  In many cases what you have instilled in the minds of the young will live on in their lives and play an important role in their development.

Your occupation, your personal delivery and your attitude plays important roles in the lives of those you touch in your everyday affairs.  Do not undermine the importance of this.  Know that what you say and do touches many lives.  It is not by chance that we meet the people we do in life.  It is not by chance that we face each individual event in life, although it is important not to get overly caught up in life’s events and hang on to them emotionally.  Living our lives with clear vision and relaying our message clearly through our actions is the best we can do.

We should not worry about saying the wrong thing if what we say comes from a compassionate, loving heart.  We must challenge our automatic responses that we sometimes make under stressful conditions but remember too that we are human.  Each step we take is part of the process and part of the learning cycle we are meant to experience.  Life is our classroom and we experience each lessons as it is needed. 

The best we can do is to live our lives to the fullest, and explore our potential.  We need to allow ourselves awaken to our abilities and know that we have our part to play in the ongoing story of life.  We are serving our purpose by living our lives, through good intentions and promoting positive energy in those around us.  We cannot do better than this

Clearing Blocks

Lack of action on detrimental ideologies and inherent conditions tends to hold us back from our natural growth or progression.  At times, we accept concepts and take them on as our own without interpretation and then struggle to integrate these concepts into our lives.  Many of our personal concepts are based on ideas that we have set for ourselves possibly through expectations of others or what we have been taught in younger years; and we process them as part of the foundation of our ongoing, forever adjusting belief structures.

 

These personal concepts can range from what we believe is attainable, what we believe we are capable of receiving, to beliefs that are reflective of outside conditions which are created or stem from internal views of the self.  We categorize who we are becoming and what life has in store for us based on standards we set for ourselves without realizing that we are putting limits or restrictions on what actually is available for us in this space in time.

These conditions adjust as we set new standards in motion through the ongoing search for self.  We become lost in this search because we believe it is something that we are not.  As a result, we continually search.  If we were to stop for a moment and ease up on this relentless pursuit, we would come to the realization that what we search for is already part of who we are.

Everything we want for ourselves is attainable as it lies in waiting within us.  The only thing that holds us back is our belief structures through conditioning from our past. 

Are you willing to review the structure of your mind?  Do you have a willingness to go beyond the confines of what you consider or have been taught is acceptable for the apparent time in life? 

Each day brings something new for us to ponder and we take on whatever we wish to make our own.  We can be forever lost in the search and can be unaware that the search itself is what is hindering our awareness of where and who we actually are. 

The key is in our belief structures and if we can hold on to this truth, we can facilitate change in accordance to what we want our lives to be.  Taking control or at least understanding the control we have in the process begins a spiral of effects that are more in line with where we aim to be in your life.  It is all a matter of focus and the ability to determine what direction we want to go.

Based on these concepts of truth, we can help facilitate an ongoing process leading to the place we have set for ourselves which we refer to as our future.  This term future is a man made concept of time and space.  In reality it is found in the moment.  Following instinctual reasoning, we can push forward with this in mind, knowing that the moment is the goal and what will follow is determined by that moment and nothing else. 

Typically, patterns of thinking are always based on previous conditions or alternate potential realities that will follow a pattern linked to our expectations.  In reaching the now, or actually finding or accepting it, we let go of any thoughts pertaining to the future or the potential future, as well as all past conditions.  Living in the moment should be our prime focus as it is truly all that matters and all that is real.  It is the now that holds all the ingredients and insights that are required--nothing else matters.  Nothing else is required.  We will experience what it is we are meant to experience in the here and now, this ever present, this eternal moment.

Aries in Astrology

We moved into the sign of Aries on the 21^st of March this year.  Many Astrologers believe that Pisces is the final stage of evolutionary growth at least on our particular level.  When we enter into the sign of Aries we begin anew, at a different stage of evolution.  At the Aries level, we evolve starting at a new chapter from where we left off in the sign of Pisces. 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and it is the sign of the starter, the imitator and the first one in.  Aries individuals are self-starters, and they aggressively pursue a course of action as soon as it is set into motion.  Those with strong Aries tendencies include people with many planets in the first house, (which is ruled by Aries) and other planets in the sign of Aries in their birth chart.  Aries is particularly powerful when the Sun, Moon and the Ascendant are found in this sign.

Aries needs to be the first one to react and they are not afraid of moving in new directions.  They pursue their personal interest with great enthusiasm and an exuberant energy that is easily noticed by others.  Their ruling planet is Mars, the planet of energy expulsion and there is no shortage of energy with these individuals.

They love to be on the go and move into something new with little regard to where they have come from.  If a door closes, their philosophy is that a new one will open.  This is their forte in life and because of this adventurous spirit, they usually learn a lot, experience a lot and live a lot.  Personal growth is an absolute and their pioneering spirit will usually provide them with plenty of opportunity to facilitate growth on some level.

When life throws a twist at them, they quickly turn to something in an alternate direction.  Planning ahead is not their strongest point as they live in the moment and know that what they seek is found in that moment.  As a result, they do not waste time finding their opportunities.  They tend to rush into situations and therefore may discover that they have to redo some steps, if they have enough patience to begin again, which is often not the case.

They have little patience and this leads to mistakes and incorrect judgement, but also pushes them into the mainstream of activity.  They hate boredom and repeat activities.  They often need something new in their lives.  Patience is not a strong point, but usually they learn from their mistakes.  There are exceptions to this however, for an Aries individual may not learn a lesson even if they make the same mistake several times.

They are self-promoters and belong at the top of their own business or at least in the forefront and leading role in an enterprise.  They do not make good followers and have a challenging time listening to advice.  They believe that they know best and often the ego gets in the way.  When this occurs, they can lose their true path easily.  Concentration is not a strong point either, unless there are other mitigating factors in their birth chart such as Mercury in Capricorn or Virgo.

Some when angered have a challenging time controlling their temper and can act out in an aggressive manner.  They are usually hot heads, but let go of life issues just as quickly as they heat up.  Forgiveness is usually a common trait, but do not repeat your mistake towards an Aries individual as they might react in a fashion that may be somewhat unpleasant.  They are quite willing to speak their mind and often with little forethought on the outcome to the recipient.  This is mainly due to an aggressive temperament and a quick reaction time. 

Know that if you make a friend with an Aries individual that life will never be boring, but make sure you keep up with their exuberance or they just might leave you in their tracks.

Remember Your Connection

It can be easy to get caught up in everyday life.  The hustle and bustle of our day can take us away from our ultimate link with our soul’s mission.  We have been brought into this life to live our physical existence, but this encompasses other things besides, working, sleeping and eating.   It may seem as though this is our current focus but there is a much greater spiritual link that co-exists with everyday life.

Venturing forward in life’s journey, we often gets caught up in the little nuances of routine living.  It is sometimes difficult to move beyond life’s obligations and necessities, and we can often find it a difficult task.  However regardless of life’s intrusions to our essential course, there are times when we question these everyday facets of our lives and ponder what lies beyond.  Most of us feel that there is much more than what meets the eye and somehow intuitively understand that the façade of everyday living is not the essence of our true mission.

As our lives continue to unravel, we will enter periods of self-reflection and self-integration.  It is during these times of awareness that we may gain some insight into our connection to the greater whole.  Do not be dissuade by the constant barrage of life’s everyday events and the undercurrents of affairs that seem so prevalent in our lives.  Know that they are not real, in the sense that they are feathered in their effect of the overall picture that is beginning to unfold.

Life runs much deep.  Our vantage point is obscured by the flow of the tide that we seem to be caught up in.  Internally or instinctively we are ever drawn to the true adventure unfolding and we are seemingly living a life of illusion that is created for this moment in time.  This illusion is so deep that it appears real and we get caught up in it through our own fascination and obscure behaviour.

We are in fact a spiritual being living a material or physical life.  We get caught up in the drama of everyday experience.  This is fine for the moment, but as we awaken to reality and living beyond survival something begins to happen to the fabric of life.  We begin to sense other dimensions that co-exist in our life, but these are on a different frequency, one slightly different from our own.  Some of us become sensitive enough to perceive this on our own level of awareness and we know of the “other world’s” co-inhabitants living side by side with us.

These are our guides, friends and relatives that have completed their earthly task and have now passed over into their next phase of existence.  If we listen carefully but not with our ears, we can sense their subtle vibrations all around us.  Some have the ability to communicate although on a very different level.  Others can infiltrate our space and provide us with information and guidance to assist us in our journey.

Remember that you are a spirit energy living a physical existence and this life is so very temporary.  Do not waste this gift.  Live it!  Enjoy it!  Experience life to its fullest.  We are here to enjoy life and gain insight as we venture forward.  Do not forget your connection to spirit and know that this is what you truly are.

Timers in Astrology

When creating an Astrology chart report and deciphering the aspects, there are several areas in the chart along with planetary influences that trigger events.  Some of these points or intensity areas of the chart which define activity are the:

1. Midheaven (MC or Medium Coeli tilted vertical axis in your chart from the 4th house cusp),

2. Ascendant (AC which is the rising sign),

3. IC (Imum Coeli which is opposite the Midheaven tilted vertical axis in your chart from the 10th house cusp); and

4. DC or Descendant (opposite the AC). 

These areas in Astrology often indicate areas of activity and when linked with planetary influences will often depict timing of activities.

The closer a planet moves into aspect to these zones, the stronger the potential for something to happen as described by the area of activity.  The planetary link and the aspect that these planetary links are making to those sensitive points will determine what takes place.  Activities often take place when these aspects are direct or exact and the areas of life indicate what will be affected.  (For example if the MC is affected, the area of life affected could be your occupation.  If the DC is activated, the activity could have something to do with relationships).

These are timing factors when an Astrologer is deciphering a Natal chart.  Transits (moving planets) also promote activity in the Birth chart at specific times.  These planets include the transiting Sun, transiting Mars, transiting Uranus as well as the progressed Moon.  These celestial bodies intensify activities and often are used conjointly with other aspects taking place in the chart to determine the timing of actual events.  Uranus and Mars are particularly powerful as each one pushes us into action.

The outer planets (including Pluto) are significant in that they are in aspect for several years.  They are often felt up to 5 degrees approaching and as far away as 2 to 3 degrees separating.  Using the outer planets alone will make it very hard to come up with the exact timing of events although as mentioned earlier the closer to exact the aspect the more powerful is its influence. 

The inner planets (including the Sun) move rapidly through the zodiac and will only have an impact on the days they are direct.  As a result, it becomes easier to define when an exact time is appropriate for activity.

The progressed Moon moves one degree per month, taking 2 1/2 years to move through a sign.  The progressed Moon’s influence is powerful for a full three months but intensifies in the middle month and can also be found when areas of life are being activated.

Using these timing influences, we can determine relatively closely when events will happen; however, there are always other mitigating factors, such as Saturn as it delays the activity, or Uranus as it causes impulsive actions.  One thing is certain with Uranus - you can expect the unexpected. 

Some of the planetary sign positions also play a part in the equation.  Capricorn and Virgo often delay activity because of the need to re-define and to ensure it is best to make a move, while Aries and Gemini will push things forward into action.

All these influences are used in determining the type of activity anticipated and will determine who, when and in what fashion the energies of the activity might play out.  Some planets are very forceful in their actions, such as Pluto and Uranus, while other planets are laid back and reserved or slow in their action, such as Saturn and Neptune.  It should, however, be understood that in most cases Astrology indicates activity in life, but our reaction to these events will determine the effect that they will have on us.

Do You Speaking Your Truth?

Express yourself in an open and clear manner with no regrets.  This is not to say that you should talk without some type of forethought.  Speak your truth with respect and love.  Do not be afraid of other people’s reaction to your truth.  Do not be upset if other people do not seem to understand what you speak of.  Some will be open to receive it and others will not.

We should always respect that others may not be able to hear our truth.  In their defence, who are we to say that they are not in a completely alternatives state which is perfect for their life’s lessons at this point.  Our statements or belief structures hold truth for us.  Some will be on a similar path to us but others will have their own unique path.

We all learn from our lives’ adventures and through these adventures, we gather information essential to our growth.  By being faithful to our own truth, our example will mirror our inner truth.  If we speak one way but act in another, we are not speaking our ultimate truth nor are we living within the realms of that truth.  We can speak our truth as much as we want, but if we are not living it, how can we call it truth? 

We are human.  We WILL stumble and fall but these stumbles are valuable lessons.  Human earthly consciousness is not eternal, but does have its part to play. 

Accept your true nature and understand the importance of speaking your truth but more importantly understand that it is of utmost important to walk your truth.  This is your tool to growth.  Others will use their own unique learning tools that are appropriate for their journey.

Live your ultimate truth.  Be your ultimate truth.  Do not be ashamed of your truth.

Pluto's Role in Our Lives

Pluto plays a significant role in our lives regardless of its new classification as a dwarf planet by NASA.  Some individuals question if it should still be used in Astrology chart analysis.  It is this Astrologer’s opinion that regardless of its size classification, it has not lost its significance in Astrology chart readings and it plays a very significant role.

Pluto regenerates and revolutionizes our lives as does the other outer planets; yet Pluto’s influence is more powerful than most.  When it is time to review our lives and transcend from previous conditions, Saturn and Uranus have their part to play, but the agent of change is often the energies of Pluto.  Pluto transforms our lives and its influence is not something that we can take lightly.  Its impact is often subtle in the beginning but becomes more apparent as time passes.  Pluto’s impact is so powerful that it often takes several years to fully comprehend its influence on conditions in our lives.

Pluto causes you to face reality in a more powerful way than any other planet and forces you to dig deep before there is any chance of regeneration and transition to take place.  It can be quite disruptive in action similar to the energies of Uranus.  Uranus’ action, however, is usually instant and you cannot prepare for what is about to take place.  You do not even really know how Uranus will affect you, but one thing for sure is that the unexpected will happen. 

Pluto does not suggest that you reflect and take notes.  Pluto demands action and if you choose not to react appropriately, it fosters change and transformation in a more aggressive ways than its first demand for change.

Pluto is important in many ways.  It opens the door for required change and puts an end to conditions that no longer serve a purpose.  It is evolutionary in its design and will help you facilitate the growth that is required in your life.  Pluto is a powerful agent for change and transformation.  When it crosses your Ascendant or MC, you will realize its presence.  Life will undergo massive changes and the changes are designed to move you in the direction that is appropriate for you evolutionary growth during that point in time.

Once Pluto is activated in your life, it is hard to ignore.  When Pluto has completed its cycle, things will pass away or be massively transformed.  Pluto will not be ignored and helps you to uncover any deeper facets that need to surface, either by challenged or by removing them from your life.  It is a necessary ingredient for evolutionary growth and its influence is very powerful and affluent for your life’s progress.

Pluto transforms, regenerates, and underlines all of life’s complexities.  It forces you to make alterations and often presents you with obstacles or challenging conditions to help you facilitate this growth.  Pluto is often present during times of death as it is suggestive to transformation on the highest level of existence.  It propels individuals to the next stage of evolution beyond that of the physical reality.  Pluto is never a negative factor.  It always has its place and is a required element in our lives. 

When Pluto is activated in your chart, be ready for transformation and know that you are in the right place at the right time for this to take place.  Welcome Pluto’s impact into your life and take in all the energies and life changing elements that it offers.

The Interchange of Understanding

Knowledge is either gained through others (verbally, written, intuitive, etc.) or the experience of life.  The school of life is undoubtedly the greatest teacher although one might be familiar and very educated through the written word.  There are many who are book smart and have educated themselves through various learning techniques.  This should be used in harmony with life’s teaching to produce a very viable and conclusive life education.

As we begin the process of gathering knowledge, it is important to utilize these learning tools in such a way that it not only facilitates growth on an individual level, but also invites others to open channels to learning that might otherwise be closed to them.  As knowledge was never intended to be stored away for safe keeping, we must share our insights with others once we truly understand the relevance of the knowledge.  Remember, however, the best teacher teaches through example.

Books and writings are especially significant to the author.  The initial opening up to and understanding of the concepts and truths revealed in writings are always for the writer first.  The information then is delivered to the outside world.  Most creative or spiritual writings come from higher sources first and are then transcribed.  The receivers/authors then integrated their own additional information.

Believing that the written material comes exclusively from oneself is simply ego.  We have a connection with spirit and can join forces with these energies to formulate transcripts that can be shared with others.  As our writing practices progress, it becomes apparent that much of the information comes from higher sources and our input becomes less and less.  Eventually, we become aware that we are simply the conduit for information.

How often have you been in intense conversation and felt or received from outside of your own mental capacity?  How often do you seem to find the perfect words to get a point across or comprehend a subject which you normally could not comprehend?  We all share in this regularly but may not consciously realize it.  Ego wants to accept control and we hold on to the feelings that are generated through the ego’s interaction. 

Understanding and knowing comes when we realize the interaction that takes place on many levels throughout our lives is initiated from either our higher self or energy of a higher nature.  We are being showered with intuitive understanding throughout our busy day.  We are receptors and unknowingly direct this intuitive based feedback into conversations on a regular basis.  Because of this, it is important to truly pay attention to the dialogue that is taking place on a higher level.

Understanding this connection to spirit also opens the channels of communication even further.  Sharing this knowledge and information not only enlightens others but also enhances the life experience for ourselves. 

Pay attention to your inner dialogue and utilize the information being offered.  Know that it is always intended for you first.

The Teacher and the Student

There are many individuals born to be teachers who will cross our paths during life.  They come into our lives bearing the knowledge and truths that we need to hear for that moment in our lives.  Some enter quickly but leave us just as quickly.  Some teachers are part of our lives for years.  Some are significant to us for very apparent reasons but these important teachers’ time with us can last only minutes.  Most of our teachers are with us in our lives on a regular basis. 

As we mature into ourselves, we teach our children just as our parents taught us.  Then as we begin to age our children in many ways become our teachers.  They teach us on many levels.  We can see our reflection in them and realize how we helped shape who they are now, or even possibly how we disrupted their growth in some way.  There are times when they teach us valuable lessons but it can be difficult to stand back and accept the information that they are providing because of our egos.  We are accustomed to being the ones assisting our children as they grow, not the other way around.

Our spouses are probably one of our more important teachers and we receive knowledge from them on an ongoing basis.  We are always learning from each other.  This is why we have been brought together or at least part of the reason.  We also come as a couple to experience life together and share our love and appreciation for one another.  There will be times when we will be faced with issues and confrontations, but if we let go of our ego and stay open, we will allow the growth from these lessons to take hold.

Life is the greatest teacher of all.  When we are faced with challenges and even tragedies in our lives we often wonder what possible good could come from these experiences.  Yet upon reflection, we come to realize that the lessons although hard learned were valuable.  These challenging conditions that we are faced with from time to time can be very testing.  These conditions can be heart wrenching; but we cannot deny that on other occasions during life, events could not be sweeter.  Grab hold of all these moments for they cumulatively make us who we are today.

There are many life lessons that we have to experience and the everyday experiences that we so often take for granted are very important too.  Take the time to reflect on our experiences and utilize what we have learned.  Be sure to take the time to stop and smell the roses along life’s busy road.  Being here in the moment and experiencing each moment as it happens is the key to truly living life. 

Take hold of the lessons learned.  Handle life with loving care.  Enjoy all of life’s lessons, even the challenging ones because we know that those are the ones that have the biggest impact.  Above all else be happy with each and every life experience and know that they are meant for us to experience and learn from.  We are here to experience and to balance the student and the teacher within us.

Composite Astrology Charts

The Astrology Composite chart is a report that provides information on the interaction of two individuals as a couple, either through a romantic relationship or business partnership.  This chart can also be used to determine the union between any two individuals, such as a parent/child relationship.  The Composite charts define any personal relationship between any two given individuals.

The chart is determined by the birth chart of the two individuals and the midpoint between each planetary placement as well as the midpoint between the ascendants and midheavens.  An example of this would be someone having their Sun in Capricorn at 15 degrees and someone else having their Sun at 25 degrees Aquarius.  There are forty degrees between the two solar locations and dividing this in half, you would have 20 degrees, making the midpoint 5 degrees Aquarius.  You would include the minutes as well as the degrees to come up with a midpoint .  This is completed for the Moon’s midpoint and all the other planets midpoints, as well as the ascendant’s and midheaven’s midpoints.  Most astrological sites will provide you with this chart as long as you have the correct birth times for each individual involved.

Upon completion, you now have one chart which could be viewed as an auxiliary natal chart which describes the union of the two individuals involved.  This chart describes the assets and the challenges that are apparent within the relationship.  It describes how the two interact as a couple internally as well as externally.  Much of the overall condition of the relationship can be defined as well as its apparent attributes and how the two will mingle and interact as a unit.

Many desire to have this chart completed when beginning a meaningful relationship or starting a business partnership.  It provides a comprehensive look at the overall compatibility between these individual and if there are deficiencies within the union.  There are always strengths and weaknesses apparent within all horoscopes, and this chart defines those particulars.  If applied in a unified and appropriate fashion, the information this chart would contain can promote a lasting and opportunistic union that so many individuals seek.

Although this type of chart is very descriptive and definitive, as always, we have free will.  If both parties are willing to make compromises within the union, the chances for survival and longevity of the relationship will have greater potential than if one of the parties decides not to function on a level that the relationship needs to survive.  This chart details will identify such shortcomings and apparent roadblocks that can be met and possibly conquered during the forming of any relationship.  This chart also offers potential solutions for shortfalls within the union that once recognized can be faced head-on, challenged and then overcome, that is again if both parties are willing to make adjustments for the betterment of the union.

Some relationships contain all of the ingredients for a long and loving partnership or prosperous venture, while others seem to present the individuals with obstacles and challenges that will require appropriate action in order for success of the union.

Investigate the potential between any two charts and discover how they meld with each other.  You can gain insight and assistance that will assist in alleviating or activating the potential that will enhance the relationship and produce the ultimate outcome.

Our Example

How do you fit into the world around you?  The media perpetually focuses on violence, hate, corruption, greed, war and the list goes on.  What can we do to offset this less than positive energy that exists?  What can we do as just one individual playing such a minute part in the overall scheme of things?  Can we have a meaningful impact and sway these energies in the world?

There are so many actions and events that take place in our world that we are not about to list or place our focus on.  How do we prove to the world that humanity is truly good at its core?  We prove this through our actions.  We mirror all that we want to see in the world.  We can make a clear statement through our actions based on peace and love.

The human race has thrived through countless wars, injustices, imbalance, corruption, pain and the list goes on.  If the human race can live and thrive under these conditions, imagine how life could be if we live our lives letting our hearts be our guides. 

We are great in numbers and can make a difference today and every day.  Lead by example.  All that is not positive energy in this world is simply a lack of love.  If our thoughts, actions, reactions, etc. were all based on love for self and for others, negative energy would not exist.

It is time to plant a seed of hope, love and peace.  Stand tall in your beliefs and help shape a new world, a world where injustice is unknown, where love and compassion are the hallmarks of our civilization.  Peace and love are ours to give. 

Use today as your starting point.  Plot your course and help make this happen.

Transiting Neptune Conjunct the Midheaven in Astrology

If you have your Midheaven in Pisces in the early degrees, (2-9 degrees) you have had transiting Neptune influencing your Midheaven ( also known as the MC) for approximately 2 years.  I am sure you will have experienced notable effects on your occupation, your status in life, as well as some of the goals you may have set for yourself during this period. 

Check to see how Neptune and the MC are influenced by other planetary links in your natal chart to evaluate their overall condition.  If Neptune is generally well placed in the birth chart, this period might express itself in very positive ways, although probably somewhat cloudy or unclear.  You might even be experiencing some psychic inspirations or enlightening dreams and visions.  It might be a time of inspiration and the emergence of latent artistic abilities.

Neptune might have a tendency to cloud over areas of life defined by the Midheaven and will often make things very unclear and decision making can be tough.  It is as though you are not sure of where you are going and might be afraid of making the wrong moves or wrong choices.  Neptune is a mysterious planet and it is linked to such subjects as psychic intuitive perception, religious inclinations, martyr type tendencies and inspiration among other things.

If your judgement is clouded right now, your Midheaven is probably within these degrees.  Some very receptive individuals can feel its approach as far away as 5-6 degrees but commonly you will feel its vibrations although very subtle about 2 degrees approaching and it will continue to be in the orb of influence for about 2-3 degrees once past direct.

The working environment is usually the highlighted area of life for most individuals when the MC is activated.  You are unwise to decide on a course of action regarding your occupation during Neptune’s influence.  It is far better to wait until it has passed completely before making any rash decisions.  If you have made some moves, you will only discover what the reality of these moves are when Neptune’s energy no longer has influence.

Some people get married when the MC is activated and especially when it is connected to the Ascendant or any planets in the seventh house.  These marriages are usually felt like a match made in heaven and this could most certainly be the case.  However, if you find your partner is a little bit different and not actually that individual you had placed on the pedestal previously, you should not be too surprised.  Although the truth of the matter is that if someone does decide to marry under this influence it is quite often a special union regardless of how they view one another.  There is something spiritual about the whole experience; it is pure and unfiltered.  It just might be one of those special moments.

Enjoy this Neptunian transit with all its glitter and be open to anything mystical and inspirational that might come your way.  Just make sure you have at least one foot firmly planted on the ground.  Reality can be transcendent during Neptune’s visit.   One thing is for certain, you will neither forget the experience of Neptune’s magic nor the feelings of light entering your life--that is if you are one of those that are so inclined.

What Are You Avoiding?

Have you caught yourself in the act of avoidance lately?  Are some of your life’s cornerstones becoming a bit hard to keep in their appropriate place?  Are you somehow out of alignment?

There are times when life’s events approach us in such ways that they seem just too difficult to digest.  We take a protective approach by trying to ignoring or push aside these issues rather than dealing with them in more appropriate manners.

We push these conditions or issues aside hoping that they will disappear or at the very least lesson in intensity.  However upon reflection, we realize that they cannot be pushed aside as they will return again and again until they are faced.

Facing challenging conditions in life can be very trying and at times extremely difficult, but running away from life’s challenging conditions never solves the issues.  We have to come face to face with each hurdle in order to deal with it, learn and then move on.  It will be difficult but sometimes ignoring an issue only invites a larger, harder lesson in the future.

Often when one finally decides to deal with the issue, we recognize that the problem is not near as difficult as it appeared.  The mind has a tendency to exaggerate things and often blows many issues out of proportion.  When we face issues, we see them as they truly are.

Confronting our fears always lessons our anxiety to any situation although the ego would like us to think otherwise. 

How often, for example, do people worry about health issues and become completely distracted from life as a result of their focus on “maybes” and “what ifs”.  Many will spend timeless days worrying about something and then eventually discover that there was actually nothing wrong.  The stress of worry can manifest many symptoms and if not kept in check, can manifest true “dis-ease”.

Power of suggestion such as those suggestions through media advertisements can plant seeds of worry.  With the continual, repetitive suggestions that we are bombarded with in all types of media, we can develop physical conditions and believe that the feelings we are experiencing are real.  If left long enough we experience prolonged agitation and nervous anxiety builds and then we can become obsessed with an idea.

If we take control of our thoughts and fears to focus on more positive ones, we can ease many situations and finally release ourselves from any perceived physical conditions.  If, however, you feel that there is actually something physically wrong, a physician should be consulted.  If there is a health issue, it can be dealt with immediate.  If there is not a health issue, you will be reassured that there is nothing wrong and remove the worry.

Often times, we will come to realize that our concerns are ego generated and once this is acknowledged, the conditions will usually fade spontaneously.  If we find the conditions persist, talk to someone.  Finding relief should be our primary concern either through medical avenues, if warranted, or through focusing our thoughts in a more positive, grateful direction.  The mind can interfere on many levels and physical ailments are just one example of many.
