Transiting Jupiter is Now Direct

Transiting Jupiter went into retrograde motion on December 8, 2014, and stayed in retrograde until April, 2015.  It moved as far as 22 degrees into the sign of Leo and then was in retrograde as far back as 12 degrees of the same sign.  You can use an orb of 3-4 degrees when determining if this had affected any of your planets or important points in your natal chart.  As it crossed these placements, the energy of Jupiter was increased. 

Jupiter has now moved direct once again and its positive expansiveness is now considered to be alive and well.

Under normal conditions Jupiter is known as the great benefactor, but it is said that when it moves into retrograde these characteristics seem to fade and its normal opportunistic input is felt on an inner level while on the material side of things, its energies are less effective.  It is suggested that if you are in the mind frame of buying property or big luxury items that you wait until it had moved direct again.  That time is now.

When a planet moves into retrograde, its impact is felt on an inner level.  During the past retrograde cycle, you may have benefited greatly if you had focused on inner growth and awareness.  Getting in touch with yourself and objectively viewing yourself making alterations along the way would have been very beneficial. 

Jupiter is the planet of expansion and is connected to spirituality and the philosophies of life that have deep meaning.  If you have a look at the house Jupiter is transiting through as well as the house it is located in your natal chart, these will be areas of life that you can do work on and transform in ways that will suit you better now that Jupiter is direct again.  A time of introspection was highlighted when retrograde and should have been viewed on a positive note.  That was a time to make adjustments to the way you were living your life in order to transform your life’s direction.  This would have put you on track for where you should be going now.

This transit of Jupiter will be closely connected to the lessons that are required at this time in life.  Make sure that you are honest with yourself and you can re-examine truths and gage these with a keen eye.  Decide what you want to change and what is worthy of keeping.  These are often aspects of yourself that need some tweaking, in turn creating a higher version of yourself and allowing you to be ready to move in your intended direction.    Look inside yourself and find those inner riches.

If you are making plans to go into a business venture, make sure that you take the time to consider all the aspects connected to making this decision.  You may have made great expenditures during the time when Jupiter was retrograde.  The affect of this may show up now.  Now that Jupiter is direct it is more beneficial to make these.  Always ensure that you are viewing these contacts with clarity and watch for expanded optimism.

Now that Jupiter has gone back into direct motion (which was on April the 8th) and is making aspects to other planets in your natal chart, you can gauge what areas of life might be affected and the potential outcome of actions now that Jupiter is direct.  Jupiter is a very positive influence in your life and will enhance most experiences, especially when linked to higher forms of activity.

Transiting Neptune Conjunct Natal Jupiter

If you have transiting Neptune conjunct your natal Jupiter, you will have noticed an increase in the interest of the mystical side of life as of late.  Spirituality may become highlighted and depending on your mental focus and your belief structures, you can experience vivid dreams and visions that are relevant to the world around you.  Your insight and intuition might be focused higher, and you will find that you are getting messages from outside of the normal realms of earthly living.

Neptune is tied to spirituality and the psychic realms of existence.  Jupiter tends to expand on things.  When these two planets form a close link like a conjunction especially when the separation is less than 2 degrees, you will begin to get a clearer picture of the subtleties that life has to offer.  If your North Node is tied into this configuration, you will also experience a clearer picture of the why behind the life purpose brought forward into this incarnation.

Neptune is in the sign of Pisces and it entered this sign in April of 2011.  Neptune will remain in this mystical sign into the year 2025 re-entering again in 2026 and then staying in the sign of Aries from that point on.  Pisces represents the deeper dimensions of life and although its normal influence is quite subtle, you will notice that events involving the mystic side of life keep surfacing.  Neptune asks you to delve a little deeper and search out life’s questions linked to spirituality and religious doctrines.  Jupiter is also linked to the higher learnings connected to the higher realms of spirituality and these two planets linked will enhance these areas of life.

The opening of channels will occur for those that are ready for this step in their evolution.  For those not ready for such steps, Neptune can point towards self-denial, self-avoidance, and even self-undoing often through the use of drugs or alcohol.  In less than perfect conditions, Neptune is often linked to avoidance and with some individuals although the door opens wide up, they may choose to ignore this new dimension presenting itself.  It may feel as though it is something new but we are all spiritual beings living a physical existence and if we were to dig deep enough, the door to this type of perception is actually a passage way to self-discovery.

To add clarity to this combination, you will also need to have a look at what house is being influenced through this transit and also the natal house placement of Neptune in your chart.  This will help you decipher more meaning into the areas of life that will be transcended during the conjunction of these two planetary energies.  The conjunction adds emphasis, the square adds some challenge, and the opposition often deals with a relationship and sometimes a confrontation or involvement that eventually brings out more clarity after a period of illusive behaviour.

To uncover the importance of Neptune and its transit through your chart and how it affects you on a psychic level, have a look at other connecting influences and weigh out any significant positions being affected while Neptune and Jupiter are in aspect with one another.

Nepal Needs Our Help

In general we are fortunate in our fairly calm little corner of the world, but there are many others who are not as fortunate as we are.  Their lives are riddled with traumatic experiences and often they find themselves at the mercy of life events. 

Take a moment to truly count our blessings and focus on just how fortunate we are to live the lives we do.  We could be living under conditions that are far less than ideal.

There are times when the forces of nature wreak havoc.  Especially during these events, we need to stand together as a force to do what we can for those individuals experiencing these catastrophes.  Many people lose their loved ones, their homes, their belongings, and their hope.  Unfortunately many of these life shattering experiences happen in undeveloped or developing countries.  These individuals who have very little to begin with are now faced with far worse conditions.

The wealthy nations of our world ought to play an important role in the rescue and rebuilding projects that these people are faced with.  Remember a little goes a long way in these nations and what you can do regardless of how insignificant it may seem can have profound effects for these people.

It is marvelous how the human race can pull together during extremely trying times. 

It begins with you.  If you can do something, anything, regardless of how small you “feel” it may be, do it!  Our prayers, energy, financial support, hands, etc. have ramifications far beyond our comprehension.  Individually each and every one of us is powerful and can have an effect; but when our energies come together, the affect is immeasurable.

There are those that will say that much of the money or aid does not reach these individuals.  However, even a little, does a lot.  If only one-tenth of any financial assistance you decide to give reaches the affected people then at least some support is making its way to assist our brothers and sisters.

With the recent earthquake in Nepal in mind, for convenience, we are including a link from CTV who has put together a list of organizations in Canada assisting the victims of Nepal - http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/nepal-earthquake-relief-how-canadians-can-help-1.2345352   

For our American readers’ convenience, we also include a link from USA Today - http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/04/25/nepal-quake-how-to-help/26361193/

We have no idea of what our assistance will generate for these individuals.  Know that you might be saving someone’s life or at the very least helping victims get through just one more day. 

Remember to give thanks for our lives and to appreciate all that comes our way.  Then set the foundation in place for assisting others in their struggle to survive.  Their future and eventual spiritual growth might rest on a single action taken today by someone like you.  Do what you can, whatever that may be.  Life is yours to give when we take action from our hearts.

Teaching Our Young

Many of us question what it is that they have come into this life to do.  There are many answers to this question from obvious simple answers to complicated underlying answers.  Today we are going to look at teaching our young that there is more to life that simply eating, enjoying and sleeping.

There is a bigger picture and putting this simply, we are here to spread a consciousness of love.  This is the basis to all happiness and it is not found outside of oneself.  Self-love is the first step to loving others.  How can we love others if we have not found a way to love ourselves?

This is the simple message that we must provide to our little ones.  We can only do this through teaching them to have self-assurance and be comfortable with self so that they too learn self-love.  We can help them understand that they have to love themselves before they can spread that love outwards.  We can reassure them that there are wonderful qualities within and that it is okay to bring these qualities out regardless of what others may think.  The earlier they realize that expressing themselves in an open manner without restriction, the earlier they will value their personal qualities.

As they learn early in life to undo some of the handcuffs that we as an earlier generation had to unlock later in our lives, the sooner they can come to terms with their true identity.  Reassure them that it is perfectly normal to express their most secret world with those that will listen without judgement.  Allow them to share their knowledge and experiences with spirits as they are so open and familiar with this truth.

Introduce them to the recognition that ego does not have to have a strong-hold on them like it did on those born earlier than them.  Reassure them that mistakes are stepping stones to learning and they are not wrong but that they can be misled.  Be the example for them of what a positive attitude can provide so that they are confident individual far beyond the ego.

Allow them to build on their own dreams and teach them the positive use of dream making.  Ensure them that they are their own creators in life and that we manifest in our lives all those things through where our thoughts are focused.  Allow them to understand that they can channel their lives in any direction they want.

Allow them to see the real world around them so that they are aware that there are lost individuals in this world but that they do not have to join these individuals for their journey is a choice.  At the same time, we must allow them to respect others and their beliefs.  Allow them to realize that their expectations will eventually mold their reality. 

The earlier we can allow them to realize these truths, the earlier they can begin to mold their reality.  Allow them to realize how the mind works and what focuses are required to manifest the positive in life.  Let them accept that when hard lessons are presented that they will learn and then bounce back from any adversity.  Allow them to understand that life moves us in many directions and it will push us in many ways but it is always the journey we are supposed to take.

Above all else, allow them to see that perfect example before them.  Live your life to prove to them the truths of life so that they learn directly from your example.  Give them the tools early in life so that they can become masters at creation early.  Always remain their teacher and their companion.  Always be ready, willing and able to help them whenever called upon for this is what a parent should be.  Sometimes, being that perfect teacher we must allow them to make their own mistakes to build stepping stones to their next leg of their journey.  We cannot take their lessons away from them but we can assure them that these lessons will mold them into the perfect person they are suppose to be.

We Are All Equal

The revolving door of life presents us with opportunities to meet up with many different people throughout our visit here in the earthly realm.  Some of these individuals we come to know and grow very close to and others are with us for short wavering periods of time.  There are varying degrees of mental alertness within each of the various individuals we meet.  Some of these individuals are extremely intelligent, some are book smart, some spiritually connected but many of us are challenged in some way or another.

There are still others who are physically restricted with various struggles with mobility and different ailments.  These individuals have chosen a demanding life specific to their physical, mental and/or emotion challenges.  These people have decided to come into this life to learn from restrictions and challenges.  These challenges are filled with immense growth for these souls.  At times is can be difficult to understand the why’s behind these challenging conditions but many with disabilities do not see themselves as disabled and actually feel enriched by their adaptability and strength.

Most of us who experience these challenges, regardless of the specific challenges, want to be treated as equals.  The vehicle used in this earthly existence is just that, a vehicle and has no reflection on the soul utilizing it.  Each and every one of us living this earthly experience requires and is entitle to compassion, respect and love. 

Do not, however, assume that someone with a disability is bitter or angry.  Do not assume anything!

Next time you are out and meet an individual with a disability, see beyond the physical, mental or emotional.  Experience and enjoy the person for who they truly are.  Do not be afraid to say or do the wrong thing but do not assume either that they require your help.  Always apply the same rules as you would to anyone you meet on this road of life.  A true human experience hinges on caring.  It costs nothing. 

So many of us fear our reactions to or do not know how to act around those people with challenges.  As a result, we avoid making contact with them all together.  Remember that we are all linked together and how we live our lives affects each and every one of us on some level.  How you treat others defines you, not them.  We are all brother or sister, little pieces of a greater whole.  Recognize this unity and celebrate it with every brother and sister you meet in life.

The Quincunx or Inconjunct Aspect in Astrology

The quincunx or inconjunct aspect in Astrology is an aspect between two points of interest (example the MC or ASC) or two planets that are 150 degrees apart.  The 150 degree separation does have an orb of up to 10 degrees in either direction (140-160 degrees) and those that are sensitive will feel the energy of this aspect in transit or progression up to and including these degrees.  In general, however, most individuals will feel the quincunx or inconjunct about 5 degrees approaching and about 2-3 degrees when separating.

In the birth chart as well as through transit or progression, the intensity increases the closer the angle between the two significant points.  In transit as well as in progression, the quincunx or inconjunct speaks of adjustment and then the formulation of the experience and creation of changes either through mental attitude or actually physical maneuvering.  In the birth chart, this aspect speaks of mental adjustments in connection with the energies of the planets or points of interest involved.

In most cases, this aspect has some challenges attached to it and the activities the individual will participate in or initiate can be stressful but usually a requirement.  Much, however, depends on the planetary energies involved and how tight the aspect is to being direct, at least when it comes to the birth chart.  An example of this might be Saturn quincunx or inconjunct Venus in tight orb of 25 minutes applying.  This would suggest, among other things, the need to make adjustments to how this individual reacts or perceives love and affection.  The applying aspect also suggests something that this individual has brought with them into this incarnation to face and address.  It is something that a remedy or answer need to be addressed.  While a separating aspect of a few degrees would indicate that the formulation has already been found and will be available in this life upon request, even though the aspect still implies a challenge and required adjustment.

In transit or progression, once the aspect tightens and becomes direct, the influence becomes very apparent and even extreme.  The awareness of an adjustment becomes apparent at as much as 7-8 degrees approaching and then when the aspect becomes exact or within a few minutes of exact, something usually unfolds in the individual’s life and an adjustment period will usually translate into either mental adjustment and transfiguration or an actual physical change.

Quincunx/inconjunct is often not a dramatic as let’s say a square or opposition, however, it is not wise to push the influences aside.  It is best to deal with the problem rather than having to deal with it as it strengthens and matures.  The quincunx/inconjunct is less intrusive than the square or opposition and often adds some sort of additional stress to an already stressful condition.

Some Astrologers have linked this aspect with possible illnesses.  This may be more heightened if the link is between the Sun and ascendant or somehow linked to the sixth and/or eighth houses. 

The twelfth house may indicate inherent or chronic conditions.  Please keep in mind, however, that the nature of our thoughts can and will play an important role in any health conditions.  Your chart would have to indicate several links dealing with health issues throughout the chart to verify inherent or chronic health conditions.  Stressful conditions in life can certainly add to the strength of the quincunx/inconjunct which is just another reminder that we should strive to change our attitudes towards what we term “stressful” situations in our lives.

Although the quincunx/inconjuct could be considered somewhat uncomfortable in the larger scheme of things, these aspects and the situations they predict are in place so that we make the proper adjustments to our lives to facilitate growth in some form.  Quincunx or inconjuncts supply us with the uncomfortable and challenging conditions that push us to make these required changes.

Acknowledgement of Our Abilities

As you begin acknowledging your abilities whatever they may be, it is important to follow through with these thoughts.  In other words, do not deny these abilities.  Provide them with the proper foundation so they can grow and flourish.  You will start to notice these abilities are developing but will hesitate to accept them.  Some of us may feel unworthy.  Some of us just cannot believe what is happening and will dismiss our abilities over and over again.  Our God given talents are not going to go away so we might as well explore them.  They will continue reminding us of their presence with some frequency even when our mind tells us that they cannot exist.

These abilities and talents are real, and we should allow the intentions to set in and accept the fact that this is happening.  Our mind or egos tends to interfere.  They will try to deny these and to rule them as impossible or not meant for us.  If we can push ourselves beyond the limitations of our minds, we can create a sustained feeling and comfort level.  We are ready for this so we must believe in ourselves.  It would not be happening unless the timing was right, so allow yourself to pursue all enlightening conditions in your life.

This is part of the unfolding process and those of us that are ready will begin to capture these innate qualities although they seem new and foreign to us.  In reality, they have been dormant just waiting for the appropriate moment to be released and be put into force once again.  These talents do not make us special in any way.  Everyone has these abilities within.  Now is the time to open up to these channels once again.

We each have our own unique part to play in the overall formulation of events taking hold throughout our world.  We all hold key ingredients that foster growth not only for us but also for all those who surround us. 

We do not have to explain these qualities for they simply will just emanate from us.  Of course there are many other individuals that we meeting in our journey that are in similar consciousness levels.  We can share our insights and practice these new found abilities with each other.  Acknowledgement of our abilities and sharing all that we can in these adventures will enhance these abilities even more.  We just need to practice our gifts and apply them as often as possible.  The talents will then have no other direction to go other than further enhancement.

Remember your innate connection with spirit within your own personal world.  The natural steps that we make in our progression and advancement during our journey is more and more apparent the further we allow ourselves to go and develop.  Disregard the mind’s interference and understand that it stems from ego which has no part of the true you.  When we become inept at shutting off the interference, the door gradually opens wider and more information is allowed passage.  It is about trust and belief.  Trust in life’s process and remain open to all possibilities.

Sun in Taurus in Astrology

We move into the sign of Taurus on April 21 this year and as we leave behind the sign of Aries the initiator and the first one forward, we take a much more conservative approach with the sign of Taurus.  Taurus prefers the tried and tested route and is not comfortable rushing into situations as is an Aries individual.  Taurus wants things to be measured out and needs solid ground from which to work.  Taurus understands that hard work and perseverance provides a much greater chance for achieving your objectives than most any get rich quick schemes.

These individuals want to build a solid foundation and will work tirelessly in life to achieve this.  This entails building a foundation on security and usually this relates to the security that finances can bring although they reach out for security in other ways as well.  They do understand that security comes from within first, and they will work on themselves to find this place.  They will then build security around them, such as a good solid career as this is a structured way of building up the finances either through adding a little bit to the bank role or by something that will not falter over time.

Taurus is a fixed earth sign.  This means that they are stubborn and as most of us know, Taurus is known to be as stubborn as a bull.  Once they make up their minds, it will be on very solid ground and they cannot easily be swayed.  They learn from their mistakes although they are very careful not to make too many.  They may even have to figure out things carefully before they move forward.  This is not to say that they will not move ahead on their ideas or that their ideas may vary from one thing to another like many Gemini individuals, but that things have to be right and surety has to be in place before they will make their move.

Taurus individuals are slow to anger but beware when they do.  They also take a long time to cool down.

As a friend, they are reliable and a constant companion; however once slighted, it may be difficult for them to forgive.  They can hold on to grudges and slights far too long.  Letting go of injustices against them in life is a hard lesson well learned. 

Taurus is an earth sign suggesting that they are usually comfortable in the material world and will work diligently towards achieving something worthwhile on a material level in this life.  They are practical and insistent on following a structured way of thinking, steadfast in their approach and secure in themselves.  They are earthy individuals and enjoy the pleasures of the finer things in life, like a nice automobile, a beautiful home, comfortable furniture and good foods.  They are also often quite sensual as they are connected to the earth.

In their sensuality, they will seek a reliable partner, one who is surefooted and willing to make sacrifices to continue moving in a foreword direction in life.  Money is important to them but so is beauty.  They will often be found buying luxury items and surrounding themselves with beauty.  Venus is their ruling planet and Venus deals primarily with love, material rewards, and social conditions, especially when Venus is in transit.

Taurus individuals are strong, dependable and practical.  You can count on your Taurus friend to have your back in times of trouble.

Your Perception of Your Life

We begin to gain an understanding of our world and our part in the process when we focus on facts, not fiction.  We slowly realize and truly understand the significance of our beliefs and their influence on our life.  We not only realize that our mind constantly creates our world, but also that we can alter our consciousness and our attitude so that we are not overly influenced by life’s events and conditions.

We are not suggesting that when we experience traumatic events that we ignore the details and avoid any grief or loss associated with the event.  We are suggesting that we understand that the mind can be guided, and we do not have to get caught up in the ongoing story.  We can choose to let go when it is appropriate to let go and we can push forward when it is appropriate to do so.  In essence, we understand our control in our input and reaction to each and every event that takes place in our life.

With this concept of control in mind, we can take it one step further.  We can acknowledge and understand that we actually creating the atmosphere of our lives simply by our outlook and reaction we give to these life events.  If we immediately respond negatively to an event, our response can be corrected immediately.  It is our prolonged responses that mold our reality.  So have no fear of manifesting unwanted circumstances due to automatic responses for with practice and patience these responses can be controlled and changed. 

Today’s reality has originated from our life’s beliefs up to and including this point in life.  We are creating in some form or fashion our potential future through our concentrated focus of where we believe we are heading.  It is our belief structure and our expectations that are generating an effect in our lives now and in our futures.  We are continually molding potential futures by what we believe is possible.

It is an unfolding story.  Deep within our subconscious, we are already aware of our next steps and lessons.  We are being guided in certain directions but we also always have free will and our choice of attitude, reaction and focus are ours to choose.  Spending countless hours worrying about negative outcomes is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of creativity.  By shifting your attention to potential positive outcomes, we will actually be facilitating positive attitudes, reactions and focus for our future.

The process can be a slow one but as we begin to not only understand the process but also know it to be true, it will quicken.  Our world can change to a positive vibration at a much more rapid pace.  Imagine if we could activate the understanding of how life works and push ourselves in any direction, without limitations.  Now go beyond imagining this to knowing this without question.

It is so very important to place our focus on our betterment and the betterment of all concerned.  It is not greedy to accept happiness and joy in our lives nor is the acceptance of comfort and contentment.  Happiness, comfort and contentment are obtained through our attitude towards life and its experiences.  These can never be bought but many try.  We do, however, live in a material world and there is a reason for this.  It is not greedy or sinful to enjoy all of the positive aspects that life offers us. 

We are meant to share all that we have and as we share (be it love, knowledge, money, etc.) so much more begins to unfold.  Giving without measure reflects back quality in our lives on so many levels.

Being

In this transcendent journey we have embarking on, it is important to reflect on the various steps we have taken to arrive at our current state.  We often forget where we once were and how we have moved forward throughout various stages.  Some of us feel disheartened with the progress we believe we have made but if we were to look back even a few years, we would realization that we have actually come a very long way.

It is a continuous and gradual evolution, at least for the majority of us, and this is why we feel as though we have stagnated or at the very least, we are crawling along our path of enlightenment. 

Each of us move along at our own pace and only when we are ready to move into the next phase will we actually enter into that realm.  Impatience and the very desire to “run” forward is a great part of why we feel so limited in our progress.

In general, we actually are progressing quite rapidly.  It is only the human condition of always wants more (which is rarely satisfied) that creates these feelings of frustration.  Have a close and realistic look at how much you have grown, of how far you have travelled. 

For instance, look how you may be able to quiet your mind when meditating.  How long ago was it that you could barely keep the inner voice silent for more than a few seconds?  Silence is no longer a silent that it once was.  The empty space between thoughts is actually alive with information coming from higher sources and is now more readily available. 

For those who have just embarked on this journey, remain patient and accept the fact that it has taken you a long time to get to the state of mind you are in now.  It will also take a long time to move away from this.  In hind sight, you will realize it took only mere moments for you to begin to experience the feelings of the slow moving train to which we speak. 

Stay focused on your pursuit, and understand and accept that it will take time.  The earlier we can let go of our desire to move ahead, the sooner we will move forward in our objectives.

Spirit guidance takes you where you need to go every step of the way.  Understanding this might quieten the ego a little and provide more patience along the way. 

This also applies to experiencing spirit and our inner communication.  These only take place as we become aware and raise our vibration to the proper frequency to pick up the subtle vibrations of the higher realm.  It is very subtle and can easily be missed at least in the beginning.  We do not hear spirit as spirits quite messages are such common please.  We have been witness to the subtle communications all of our lives and because of this they go unnoticed.  Like the sound of traffic in the city, we become so accustom to these sounds that our conscious mind no longer hears the noise.  Spirit and our inner voice are so common and we are so accustomed to their input in our lives that we tend to ignore the messages.

Focus on the infinite barrage of information that comes through.  Do not tune it out but do not become consumed by it either.  Find that perfect balance of spirit and earth for we are meant to live our earthly lives.  We are meant to experience life’s challenging conditions as we all know these are our learning tools and stepping stones.  Life is like a long walk on the beach.  There will be days of wonderful sunshine but there will be days that storms will blow in.  If you take the time to actually witness the storm, it too is often quite beautiful and very awe inspiring.  Once the storm has passed, the view is enhanced, and much more clear. 

Enjoy the walk of life.  Stay in the moment.  You are spirit living in a temporary physical form, so take advantage of this opportunity.

The Moon in Astrology

The Moon in Astrology is the ruling planet of the sign Cancer and is affiliated with the fourth house.  It represents the mothering instinct and is linked to the feminine energies within each and every one of us.  The Moon deals with primal emotional needs.  It is where we nurture ourselves and take care of ourselves on an emotional level.  It is where we feel safe within.  The Moon is reflective of our emotionally reaction to life’s problems and also where we find the answers.  It provides us with a safe haven--a comfortable and secure emotional foundation that feels like home.  It is where we can go and reside in a gentle manner away from the intrusive forces of life and secure a place for ourselves during times of strife.  We call this the emotional home or safe haven.

Feelings of security are linked to the Moon and along with the 2^nd house can provide the deepest emotional support that each of us so fundamentally require.  The Moon sign and its house position depict our emotional reaction to outside stimuli in our lives. 

For example, someone with the Moon in Taurus, or in the second house, will find emotional security through building a foundation often based on material gatherings and monetary comfort.  Someone who has the Moon in Pisces will secure this emotional structure through an interaction with the higher sources and will find peace through communication with spirit and with having an inclination to psychic linking and intuitive perception.

The Moon also rules the basic habits we form in our formative years.  The Moon is reflective of our upbringing and often relates directly to the most nurturing parent and how they provided us with early support in childhood.  The moon is linked to the past and memories from the past and also how the past has affected us in our world today.  We carry with us how we were comforted through “mothering” and how our emotional requirements were taken care of.

The Sun in Astrology has to do with our ego, our will and our conscious selves, while the Moon has to do with instinctual response on an emotional level, the unconscious mind and letting go of the ego and its intervention.  The Moon is responsive, reactive and instinctual.  It often deals with our inner selves, our emotional being and our sense of self-worth.

The Moon is our deepest emotional self and describes our needs, our emotional wants and how we emotionally react to the world around us.  The Moon is our mothering side, our nurturing side and our response to the environment.  This mothering and nurturing response to the world deals with how we tend to our own emotional needs as well as how we tend to the needs of those that are important to us.

In its positive responsive state, the Moon fosters emotional interaction, sensitivity and the need to assist others on an emotional level.  This in turn provides us with self-assuredness also on an emotional level.  The Moon is representative our nurturing requirements being met and then our natural response to the world around us in times of need.  It fosters emotional kindness, emotional sympathy, emotional compassion and love.

In its more negative expression, the Moon has to do with feelings of unworthiness, self-insufficiency, emotion worry, excessive emotional responsiveness and a general feeling of anxiety about the world around us.

The Moon by sign, house placement and aspect will define our emotional reactions, the emotional state of being and the emotional instinctive reactions to life itself. 

We should also check the Moon’s position by the element (Air, Earth, Water and Fire) and modality (Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable).

Circle of Influence

Pick your friends and associates carefully as each and every one of them will have an impact on you.  Not only do those around us have an effect on us at a mental level, they can also have an effect on our health.  This is not to say that the person you chat with in the coffee shop line-up will have an influence on your physical condition, but they will have an effect on your attitude and your energy level at that moment in time.  It will, of course, be in your hands just how much of an impact you allow them to have on you.

You may find that a social guest may have some important information that resonated with you on a deeper level and you may choose to engage in the energies and attitudes they are offering in the conversation.  You might hold some of the content of their dialogue in your conscious mind and you may also consume it on a subconscious level.  Alternatively, you may decide that the conversation held little to no importance to you and you may allow the energies of the conversation to be released.  Most conversations that we participate in, however, carry some ingrained information that we can call on at some later date or seeds of information that can grow into wonderful knowledge in the future.

Many of us spend long periods of time with our family and close friends.  These individuals play a significant role in our lives and their input is particularly relevant to our ongoing evolution. 

Close family members are not always our best friends and some, if we allow, can even produce a lot of strife and stress in our lives.  We may wish them a kind and loving farewell as we acknowledge that they no longer serve a real positive purpose in our lives OR we can change our attitudes towards them as there are many times when these very individuals are exactly what is required to learn the lessons we have come to learn and to grow from our experiences with them.

If you find that your relationships need alterations, take a look at what you can do to facilitate change on some level.  If, however, you have done all you can and the relationship and your attitude towards the relationship is not adjusting then perhaps you will need to communicate your feelings in a clear and concise manner.  Change is something that all parties must be willing to participate in.

If the relationship is detrimental in all ways and change is not an option, it might be best to let go.  Toxic relationships can have an impact on our overall health and condition of the body.  To stay in a harmful relationship could prove to be very detrimental to both our happiness and our health. 

On the opposite side of the coin, there are those relationships (which can also include friends and even associates) that provide us with an overall wonderful positive feel.  They embrace love and compassion as well as guidance.  These are the individuals we are so fortunate to encounter throughout our lives.  Appreciate these individuals for they are precious. 

Important relationships will offer us many things, on many levels.  We should never take any of these relationships for granted, regardless of the challenging conditions that occur from time to time.  They are special and we must recognize and appreciate how fortunate we are to share our lives.  Some of these individuals will be with us for a long time while others may slip away too soon. 

Enjoy each and every one of your friend and family members.  Share your life when you can and your love always.  We are all kindred spirits living our spiritual existence, currently in a physical vehicle.
