GETTING BACK ON COURSE



It is not unusual, at times, for us to feel as though we have lost focus and have wandered from our path, although we are never really off course.  Even “apparent” alternate routes that we follow for intermittent periods or lulls in our normal routines are not truly off track and they are required routes or breaks for us in that moment in time.  We venture off our anticipated course and then once we begin to get the feeling of being “off course”, we refocus our attention and move back into where we believe we should be.

If we were to study where we have been (either on a mental level or on a physically level), we can come up with some potential reasons why we swayed off course.  Perhaps we had to get a clearer glimpse of something or some part of our own personality that we were not aware of, or perhaps we had to remind ourselves of our inner determination and strength for personal assurance that we are on the right course.  Whatever the reason, there was a reason for our detours and meandering.

Getting back on our preconceived idea of what our path should be can be a little difficult at least at times.  For an example, we may have been following a regimented meditation schedule for many years and all of a sudden we fell of track for a while and beginning again might be a little challenging.  However as we reacquaint ourselves with and restore our routines, we quickly renew our regime and the results may even surpass our previous ones.  Our interlude may interrupt our momentum but when we get back on track, we can be propelled forward with much more incentive and wonderful results.

If you have come to the conclusion that you have been off track and would like to get back on course again, this recognition is verification that the time has come for you to do just that and it is important to follow through so you do not miss this opportunity. 

Sometimes life seems to get in the way and pushes us supposedly off course.  Life changing events do happen in periodically but eventually we can guide ourselves back to focus.

All side trips and stopovers on our road of life are part of the trip.  When the time is right, we will get a little push from within which will prod us to get back to our main path and for us to regain our momentum.  Feel good about yourself as you regain momentum.  Recognize your accomplishments and be grateful.

THE PLUTO IN VIRGO GENERATION IN ASTROLOGY



If you were born from mid-1957 to mid-1972, you are the Pluto in Virgo generation give or take a few months either side of this time frame, as Pluto went retrograde during this period (appearing to move backwards in the heavens). 

This generation may be somewhat obsessive about their health and cleanliness, in general.  They are intensely interested in keeping their body in top shape if they are able, through exercise routines and proper diet.  Some of this may vary depending on what house Pluto is in and the aspects to Pluto in the birth chart.

Virgo can become obsessively involved in many things as they have great analytical perception and the ability to uncover life’s minute details.  

In general, most Pluto in Virgo individuals find their working life rather important to them and they push themselves to find perfection and uncovering all the minute flaws within the work environment.  Some prefer to remain in the background rather than getting all the attention.  Behind the scenes analytical and research work will suit most individuals born with this combination.  They would make excellent detectives and specialists in fields such as psychology, parapsychology and virtually any field that requires deep concentration and introspective focus.  They are usually absorbed in their work and comfortable in knowing that they are doing their best.  Doing their best is a compulsive need and this is why they are highly sought after in the working environment.

These individuals are inwardly intense and analyse themselves, seeking flaws.  Some become overly critical of themselves and some to the point of obsession, yet they may have difficulty accepting criticism.  When angered they usually become ardently heated and yet they keep much of what they feel inside.  They need to find a way to release this pent up anger and stop worrying over issues as this can lead to health related issues as life progresses, especially nervous conditions. 

Rigorous exercise such as running, the martial arts, and anything that pushes the body and releases the mind from the day’s activities will assist in letting go of these feelings.  Gentle exercise routines such as Yoga and Tai Chi can also do wonders for these individuals.  Without such routines, physically restrictions in the body can occur.

Pluto in Virgo people are inwardly intense and need deep study as there is a yearning for understanding of any subject in great detail, especially themselves.  A profession in research, institutional occupations or working in government positions would be of interest to these individuals.  They make good counsellors, pharmaceutical engineers, and mechanics --anything related to detailed work is right up their alley.

There may also be an interest in all hidden matters, such as the occult and the fields of metaphysics.  Any mystery holds their interest and they are great at solving deep internalized issues in others. 

Most at some point in their lives will redirect their energy outward after transforming their own lives through self-actualization techniques, but not until they have completed a full self-study and obtained a full understanding of what makes them tick.  Once they make this transformation to a higher sense of being, there is great healing power in many of these individuals.  They can use this gift to assist others and help them overcome many of their life’s deficiencies.

Again, this is a general description of what Pluto in Virgo represents.  There can be other strong influences in the birth chart that water down or completely dilute these energies.  On the other hand, there can be other combinations and aspects within the birth chart that will heighten these energies to an extreme.  Each natal chart is as unique as the individual it represents.

WHAT IS OUR ORIGIN?



In many cultures, reincarnation is widely accepted.  One concept suggests that we are physically here temporarily from spirit form.  It has been said that there are concepts and truths that we can only understand and spiritually evolve from through the physical, earthy experience.  Due to our learning abilities and varying lessons, we come back over and over again.

It is believed that we can return as male or female.  It is also believed that we can live at any point in time, either in the future or in the past.  Time is man-made.  The past, the present and the future are here now.  With the concept that all time runs simultaneously.  Our current life does not have to be followed by a life that would be considered in our future.  The soul ascertains what lessons are required for its growth and will pick a life that is suitable for its required experience.

What and where is our origin?  As humans, we can only speculate but there are those that believe we are a part God, our source, the whole.  We all form as one in unity with God or whatever term you are comfortable using.  We are joined on some base level with everything that exists--here on earth, beyond our universe and beyond the physical realm. 

If reincarnation is a reality, what we experience in our ever-day lives should not be ignored as it is significant.  Each moment of this life is important.  If not, we would not be here now.  There are many lessons that we have and will partake in throughout this life.  Perhaps we are here to ingest each experience with the intent of learning something that will not only assist us in this life, but will also provide us with valuable information in furthering our evolution on other levels of existence.

Most of us have preconceived notions of what the afterlife is like.  In reality, we do not truly know.  Those with psychic connections get a better picture of what lies ahead, but this is undoubtedly just a glimpse of a small portion of the whole.   

Soon enough we will have our answers to all of our life long questions.  But we can let that go for now and live our lives for today....for the moment,  filtering through each experience, gathering knowledge and information as we enjoy what this life has to offer. 

It is a beautiful life filled with mystery and wonder.  Live, learn, experience and enjoy!

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT NATAL VENUS - PART II



As promised, here is Part II of our post from July 21.

We previously suggested that Uranus instigates and promotes change, as under most circumstances, the current conditions in life no longer fit the criteria that our lives now require for growth.

If Venus in your chart speaks of monetary influences (Venus in the second house, eighth house or perhaps the fifth) an unexpected financial turn of events may be suggested.  This could be on a positive note or on a note that you would not consider quite so positive.  Once again you have to check the natal promise to see how this energy might be revealed.  The natal house placement of Venus and Uranus along with the house transiting Uranus is moving through will provide details as to how this transit might unfold, but it is very hard to figure out exactly how it will manifest.  Uranus in the fifth might suggest winning money through gambling or in the lottery.  Uranus in the second might suggest monetary fluctuations and in the eighth might mean shared resources could be part of the overall picture.

You may also find yourself suddenly in groups of individual with humanitarian principles linked to the meeting.  Your social life is subject to change and alterations, and you may meet some very unique, even eccentric, individuals during this conjunction that will alter the course of your life, or at the very least, attempt to do so. 

It is important that you do not try to disrupt the influence of Uranus as it makes its way past Venus.  Uranus calls for change and will move quite swiftly and without too much intrusion if you allow its energies to flow.  If you put up great resistance to what requires change in your life, however, the flow of change may not be too enjoyable and its action might be very disruptive.

As mentioned in Part I, Uranus is the awakener and Venus is all about the energy of love, so be open to whatever takes place in your life and accept it with open arms as best you can.  Love is a beautiful thing and can be expressed on many different levels.  Uranus is sure to open doors that have been closed previously and you may now need a new start with a new direction.  Enjoy the new and exciting experiences that unfold in the process.

The action of Uranus is often quite evident and is used as a timing device.  Often the actions are very obvious on the exact day that it becomes direct, unless there are other mitigating factors in the chart.  Uranus is especially strong when it conjuncts particular angles in the chart such as the Ascendant and the Midheaven.  You can expect personal changes including partnership shifts when it conjuncts the Ascendant which is somewhat similar to its aspect to Venus.  You can anticipate career fluctuations and status changes when it conjuncts the Mid-heaven.

Expect the unexpected and be ready for new and unique experiences in your life as Uranus nears its conjunction point.  Place no limits on possibilities entering your life and expect change to take place.  As disruptive as Uranus might be, these transformations (and new found freedom which is often part of what takes place) are all necessary and vital to your overall mental growth and evolutionary acceleration.

Enjoy the ride as you are about to enter uncharted territory.

THE DEPARTED



Have you recently lost someone dear to you?  It is hard not to be saddened by the loss. 

Are you having trouble letting go and moving forward in your life?  Many of us spend countless hours denying, questioning, blaming, angry and depressed before we come to the acceptance stage of grief.  There are so many unanswered questions.

It is especially difficult to understand untimely deaths and sometimes it does not matter how much we ponder the potential “why”, we seldom fine the answer we are looking for.  With our earthly abilities, we cannot fully grasp the greater meaning of our existence.

As humans we cannot help but ask if these events were intended parts of the process.  Was this death meant to be?  These are questions from the human mind, not the higher self. 

Our concept of life is very limited and our understanding is just as limited.   As humans we look for answers that neatly fit into our box of understanding.  Remember these are our self made concepts and life’s events are always as planned, with or without our acceptance.  We can live our lives kicking and screaming against each event as it happens or we can accept the events with faith that all things are exactly as they should be.  Which sounds like the easier life?

Life is to be lived to the best of our abilities.  It is to be enjoyed and experienced to the fullest but with full regard for those that share this life’s road with us.

When a life comes to its human end, we must remind ourselves that this is simply the turning of a page or the beginning of a new chapter.  It is a fresh start for the soul that has moved on.  Their chapter is complete and what needs to happen did, even if we “believe” that a life has been cut short.  That life has served the purpose that it was meant to.  All requirements have been met and the lessons learned.

Energy is perpetual.  In spirit or soul form, we are energy.  In soul form, we continue our evolutionary journey.  Our deceased loved ones are always near--never too far away and always hearing and experiencing our words and love.  Our deceased love ones are never too far away to answer our questions, although the answer may not be in verbal form. 

Love, allow and continue to live for earthly life is for the earthly living.  It is what our loved ones want.

ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS



Do relationships last forever?  They certainly can but there has to be boundaries that are put in place.  Healthy relationships accentuate our inner self.  They stimulate gratitude.  They push us to be the best loving person we can be.  They join us as one in the most positive ways.  When there is turmoil within a healthy relationship, we fight for the cause with love, understanding and compromise. 

If you find yourself in a relationship that is emotionally draining and/or physically abusive, but feel you must keep on giving because it is the right thing to do, you need to examine why you feel this way.  Be honest with yourself.  Is the relationship worth the continuous emotional drain?  Are you often pushed around mentally or physically? Are there other red flags in your relationship?

Some relationships unfortunately are harmful.  Unwanted conditions must be dealt with, for if left unchecked, they can affect your inner most core.  In many cases, the individuals being emotionally or physically abused or controlled are insecure and resist walking away.  The ideas of being alone to face life’s challenges, mentally, physically and financially, produce insecurities and fears. 

For those of you in these types of relationships, ask yourself, “Am I happy?  Am I healthy?”  Once again, be honest with yourself.  Truly evaluate the circumstances you are living under. 

Are there children also experiencing these events?

Are your children witness to abuse, animosity and even hatred?

As parents, do we want to teach our children that the norm in life is to be unhappy?  The example before them IS their normal. 

If the relationship is beyond repair or abusive, or if you feel that you have to keep giving it all you have for the children but the effort is not reciprocated, perhaps you will need to review your priorities. 

If you or your children are being verbally or physically assaulted, love yourself enough to move towards change, whatever change is necessary. There are many agencies available to assist you in your decision.    We all deserve to be happy and safe.

Find the strength and the self-love required to take the first step, whatever that first step may be.  You can overcome your insecurities and fears.  Stand tall with your resolve.  There is a future that is waiting for you.....one that you truly deserve, but before you can move forward, you must let go of the past.

Each and every one of us is equipped with great strength.  There is a full reservoir of love and happiness in “your name”.  Believe in yourself and not in the abusive, degrading labels place on you by someone else. 

No one else can provide you with happiness.  This is something that is only attainable by you.  Happiness comes from within.  Allow you “self” loving light to shine!

The Sun in Leo



Shortly, the Sun will be in the sign of Leo.  Those born within the first few degrees of Leo, or the last couple of degrees of Cancer are known as cusp personalities and carry both the signature of Leo as well as Cancer (inner self).  The Sun’s orb of influence is 16 degrees.  As a result, anyone born at let’s say 2 degrees Leo will have 10 degrees of influence in Leo and 6 degrees influence of Cancer.  This explains how there are some blended character traits in the preceding and proceeding signs depending on your date of birth.  There are also many other mitigating factors that determine personality traits, although the Sun sign dominates the “inner” persona.

The Sun sign of Leo is a very noble position as its ruling planet is the Sun and its symbolic representation is the Lion, the king of the jungle.  This is what strong Leo personalities express in their character.  They want to be noticed and in most cases they stand out in the crowd.  Leo’s are rather regal in their demeanour.  They like to be the centre of attention and when they enter a room, you will know that they have just walked in.

In most cases they are very likable personalities and will bend over backwards for anyone, as long as they are recognized for their efforts.  Some could be considered a little egotistical, although their concern and caring is genuine.  They are usually very loving and considerate people.  They will go out of their way to assist you and help you in whatever way is required.  This comes from the heart and they are genuine in their caring nature.  There is nothing pretentious about them, but a pat on the back for their diligent efforts is greatly appreciated.  When they go out of their way to assist another and their efforts are not recognized, they can easily be hurt.  They mean what they say but may promise a little more than they are able to deliver.

In general people with strong Leo characteristics in their birth chart, and this would include those with many planets in the sign of Leo, a Leo Ascendant or several planets in the fifth house, are loving, well-meaning and generous with their time and energy almost to a fault.  They are gracious and easily open their hearts to anyone that may come along.  They are affectionate people with big hearts who genuinely want to make others happy.

Many of these whole-hearted individuals have lofty dreams and they are hard workers.  They enjoy the good life and with persistent efforts can make some of their dreams come true.  They have a good idea of what it is they want and will go after it and make things happen, not only in their life but also in others’ lives.  Life does not always come easy for them, but regardless, they are willing to work diligently towards any goal.  Once on course, it is hard to shift their focus.  They are determined individuals once they are set in motion, although they do have a retiring side when it comes to relaxation and can easily shift themselves into a relaxed mode. 

Leo is a fire sign and a fixed sign suggesting that they are determined when striving for their objectives and will not easily be swayed by others, especially once their mind is made up.  However they are willing to listen to advice even if they do not take it, but they will adapt if necessary.  Their intentions are always on the up and up, and if others do not take their advice or appreciate their good natured intentions, they will have committed a great injustice and the Leo individual can easily be hurt.  They want to be appreciated!

Confidence runs high with the typical Leo and yet they can be quite humble when others show their appreciation.  If they were to make a mistake, and they will accept responsibility for mistakes that they make, they will do what they can to repair the situation.  Sometimes they will blame themselves when in fact it is someone else who deserves the blame.  Much depends on what their perspective is on that person.

If you are looking for a true friend and companion for life, one who accepts you for who you are and accepting all of the little flaws that you may have, Leo is the one you are searching for.  They will be loyal to the end, stand by your side in times of trouble, and always offer help when you are in need.

YESTERDAY'S MEMORIES AND TODAY'S CHALLENGES


We all have fond memories of yesterday.  Some are so pleasant that we have great difficulty letting go of what used to be and moving forward with today.  Holding on to memories can be tantalizingly enjoyable.  It can also be tumultuous and even incredibly sad, but remember these are just that, a memory. 

Some might say that today is based on our yesterdays and it is hard not to agree with this concept, but the past is the past.  We can neither return there nor change the past.  We must allow the past to remain there and move in new directions that are no longer relevant or significant to our past.

It can be challenging for some to come to terms with events of the past and to realize that the past is no longer.  Change is difficult for most of us.  Some of us will fight tooth and nail to keep things as they were, but in so doing, we can be delaying wonderful experiences waiting to happen.  It can be very difficult to take that next step or turn that next corner for the unknown can be intimidating.  All change, good, difficult or indifferent, can create anxiety if we fight against it.  Opening up to growth and having faith that we are always moving in our intended direction allows life to flow so much easier.

Some people have expressed that life is relentless and so exasperating.  They feel as though they are at the mercy of life events.  There are even those that take drastic steps to try to alleviate change or to moving forward, to the point that they have stopped living productive lives. 

We can never give up regardless of the situation.  We are here to live, learn and love.  Why would we anticipate the worse for tomorrow?  Does it not feel encouraging and lighter to anticipate something wonderful for tomorrow?  Taking a step back and leaving tomorrow to tomorrow, do we not feel contentment living in this very moment (right here, right now) and realizing that ALL of our needs are being met in this very moment. 

Most of our struggles come from not receiving what we anticipate or feel that we SHOULD have.  Sometimes we are simply fighting with ourselves.  Sometimes we just want that easy route out.  In most cases, there is no easy route for growth, but rest assured, life perpetually changes. 

If you choose to, you will find your way.

Never give up on life.  Stay strong in the face of adversity and find that little glimmer of light that is always there (but sometimes not seen).  If you look hard enough, you will see it.  You will find a new and more productive route to follow. 

The most challenging of life’s circumstances often produce the most magnificent outcomes.  We are on our chosen paths.  Nothing in life is too challenging if we decide to charge forward, no matter how great the challenge may feel at this moment.

Stay strong and learn from these stepping stones.  You will find the strength you need and you will overcome.  Challenges are put in place for you to grow from.  When we find the courage to confront these issues, we blossom in so many ways.  Believe in yourself, acknowledge the moment and have faith in tomorrow.

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT NATAL VENUS PART I



Uranus is known as the awakener and it brings forth unexpected events.  When it conjuncts the planet Venus in the natal chart, Uranus’ action (which is pretty much inevitable) seeks to either move away from unwanted or stale relationships or unite with someone who can bring forth new and adventurous conditions into life--sometimes both. 

Venus is the planet of love and affection along with comfort which includes luxury items.  It is also connected with social events.  Much of the action that Uranus will impose on Venus depends on the natal aspects between these two planets and the state of each of these planets in the birth chart.  If for example Uranus and Venus are in trine with one another in the birth chart, the potential for a happy outcome and good things are exemplified.  However, if Uranus and Venus are in square to one another in the birth chart, we can expect the unexpected and these events could be less than desirable. 

The effects of this conjunction in transit are usually quite dramatic in their nature.  The desire for freedom and something new is often an offshoot with the meeting of these planetary energies.  Much of this could pertain to relationships and if an existing relationship has been going along smooth, the chances for disruption is often possible if not probable; however, if the relationship is built on a solid foundation and has stood the tests from challenges in the past, it will undoubtedly be resilient enough to pull through the conditions Uranus may assert on it.
 
Uranus wants to rebel against anything that no longer serves a purpose and pushes for new direction.  It needs freedom.  It is not uncommon to meet up with an “electric” individual who sweeps you off your feet during the conjunction of these two planetary energies.  This new individual may be exciting and original in their approach, and there is something about them that pushes you in directions you may not have taken previous to meeting them. 

Often things happen on the spur of the moment and without warning; life just happens.  Expect the unexpected is what you can anticipate when Uranus is involved and although this individual may be exhilarating, as quickly as they came into your life, they may leave just as quickly.  This is not to say that the relationship will not endure, but there is potential that this new and thrilling person may have come into your life to create some very necessary changes and then leave quickly and expectantly.  Uranus instigates and promotes change when the current conditions in life no longer fit the criteria that our lives now require.

We are told that we are too long winded at times so we are going to end this post here but we still have so much to say about this aspect.  We will be posting the Sun in Leo on July 23 so the continuation of Transiting Uranus Conjunct Natal Venus will be continued on July 28.

MAINTAINING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE FOR HEALTH



Our mental process and outlook is linked to health.  A healthy attitude about life will often promote an improved state of well-being.  Look at those around you who are in general good health; how is their attitude to life in general? 

A healthy attitude is said to be one of the important ingredients needed to conquer cancer.  It is not a guaranteed that a positive outlook will cure cancer by any means but it certain is part of the cure and promote a healthier approach to the disease and any other disease we may face during our life time.

Those that eat well, exercise regularly and enjoy a healthy mental approach to life are happy overall.  Their ability to process and their ability to rationalize when faced with adversity seems to be far more positive and productive than those with a less than ideal outlook.

There are many people who suffer from varying illness and chronic conditions.  We are not suggesting that they can be cured through a healthy diet, exercise and a positive attitude but these three changes will not make these conditions worse.  Anyone with a healthy attitude about life is happier, more content and many live long and very satisfying lives.   A healthy attitude will do much to alleviate any mental conditions associated with chronic conditions, inherited illnesses or life’s unexpected twists and turns.

We all know someone with challenging physical or mental conditions but they rarely speak of these condition or complain about their effects.  We recognize these individuals as unique in some way and also strong will.  We can learn a lot from these individuals.  How many of us complain about minor ailments and conditions?  We own our conditions and make them personal which in turn only feeds our negative focus. 

Some battling major illnesses also suffer financial stresses because of their ailments but somehow they still take on a very positive route not only in their own journey but also in the journey of those around them.

If we are blessed enough to meet such individuals during our lives, it is important to pay heed and listen to their message and take in their example.  If we truly see them for who they are, and not their disease, their message is often quite apparent and we can learn valuable lessons presented by these special people. 

If the soul has chosen to live a life under these conditions (and there are many around us who live with horrific ailments), these must be invaluable lesson that the soul wants to learn.  Many believe that the individuals that have returned to confront these conditions progress or grow rapidly in the realm of spiritual knowledge and soul growth due to these conditions.

Maintaining a positive attitude and having a positive outlook, regardless of the path we walk, is very important for a happy life.  Health and happiness are partners generally, although there are acceptations to this.  Keep a healthy attitude.  Our bodies are temples and should be treated as such.

Maintain your positive power.  Be happy that you have a place in life and share this with everyone you meet.  Generate a more positive life approach by living in that circle of thought on a regular basis. 

A healthy attitude is an important ingredients to our health and wellbeing.  It is not a guaranteed that we will not face an ailment in our lifetime, (we do not know what the soul has planned) but a positive attitude will certainly promote a healthier approach to life, with or without disease.

THE POWER OF OUR BELIEFS



The power of our beliefs or focus is certainly an acknowledged concept yet many of us follow along life’s path without paying too much attention to our belief structures or our day-to-day focus.  We realize and accept that we mold our life and our future potentials as a result of our beliefs and expectations, yet many of us are not overly concerned with where we allow our thoughts to roam. 

It is essential to recognize where we focus our thoughts on a regular basis.  This is not to say that you have to become obsessed over every thought that we process.  If we acknowledge the overall themes of our thoughts eventually we recognize the detrimental thoughts immediately and correct them to a more positive and beneficial direction.

How often have you said to yourself, “I won’t win anyway”, “Why did I do that.  I’m so stupid”, “Why does this happen to my?”, “I can’t....”, “I’m not smart/strong enough”, “I’m not as luck as you”, “If I don’t make this work......,”, “If I do not pass this test/examine......”, “Money doesn’t come easy.”, “Money is the root of all evil” and the list goes on.  When asked why people think this way, we have received rebuttals of “I am just being realistic!”  Do you recognize the self-defeating energy of these thoughts?

If we allow our mind the ability to process as it desires, ego will become boss and we then we are at its mercy.  We have the ability (with practice) to maneuver our thoughts in any direction.  Exercise your mental muscle and channel your thoughts to your benefit.  The masses, at this point in human development, have not been able to manipulate the events that take place in our lives but we certainly, with practice, can influence and control our reaction to each and every event we face throughout a day.  Build your future today by molding your thoughts and reactions now.  Frequently throughout your day, practice positive focus.  Checking in to see where your thoughts are taking you.  If you find them wondering back to negative focus, gently redirect them to back to positive thinking.  If you know that you become less positive when you are tired or hungry, this is the time to pay particular focus on your attitude.

Some of us insist that life is an illusion.  This may be true.  We are, however, still here experiencing this earthly existence, illusion or not.  Why would we not want to create what you want from life?  Understanding the illusion may be part of the solution.  Objective, conscious manoeuvring of our thoughts and focus are one of the more conscious things that we can do each and every day. 

Focus on love, compassion and giving without measure.  Is that an illusion? 

Understand that the life you are creating affects others and the general energy flow in this existence.

The best example we can present to this world is peace, love and tranquility.  Is this not what we seek?  Lead by example.  Living your life along these lines of expression will simply draw more of the same.  We are the initiators of action.  We are all one.  We are all created equal.  How are you going to utilize the opportunities and gifts you have been given?   Will you see them as blessings and allow them to flourish?  Will you not recognize them at all and squander them?

We leave you with a thought......”I love my life and each and every person that shares this experience with me.  Life provides me with an abundance of all that I need and want.”

APPLYING AND SEPARATING ASPECTS IN THE NATAL CHART

APPLYING AND SEPARATING ASPECTS IN THE NATAL CHART

There are three different types of aspects concerning the planetary movements in the snapshot of the Natal or Birth Chart. 

These are:
1.            applying aspects, (planets moving together to form an aspect);
2.            separating aspects, (planets moving away from one another); and
3.            stationary aspects, (planets that have been in retrograde motion and are now motionless). 

Today we are going to look at the applying and separating aspects in the Natal Chart.

All planets whether retrograde or direct in the birth chart, will either be forming an aspect with another planet or separating from aspect to another planet, the closer to exact the aspect, the stronger its influence is in our lives.  

There are some planets that make no aspects, although rare.  If they are not making major aspects (sextile, trine, conjunction, inconjunct, square or opposition), they are very powerful in the natal chart.  We will be discussing this at a later date.

Many Astrologers believe that a separating aspect deals with past events, or if you like, “finished business”.  This would pertain to something that has already been dealt with and will eventually fade over time.  Some Astrologers believe that the actual acknowledgement and correction took place before birth and we have already made adjustments to overcome whatever the energies of the two planets involve describe.  The degrees that separate the planets describe how powerful that aspect is in the chart.  The closer to exact degree the aspect, the more powerful the energy is.  Perhaps with a separating aspect, the flavour of the aspect is one of the last things that were set in motion in a previous lifetime, but this is speculative. 

Astrologers understand the significance as the aspect and its degree and will define its intensity and help delineate the meaning of any particular influence in the Birth Chart. 

When planets are applying, it is understood that the faster moving planet is moving towards the slower moving planet and suggests unfinished business that will have to be rectified during the course of this lifetime.  Once again, the closer the aspect, the more apparent and pressing the energies of the planets involved.  We have come into this life to learn and address the suggested issue and come to terms with whatever the planets and aspects suggest.

The applying aspects become stronger as time passes, intensify and push us in directions that will assist us in defining the energies involving these two planetary.  These conditions are dealt with after birth.  Applying aspects are suggestive of future endeavours that should be approached and dealt with and transits that touch on these planetary links can intensify the birth condition and push you towards a resolution. 

This is not to say that all aspects between planets are challenging; far from it.  You have to look at the planets involved and decipher how well they work together and what aspects are involved before making a judgement call on how the energies will affect one another. 

It should also be understood that a tight square or opposition in the birth chart has been set in motion in this life for us to overcome and could therefore be considered a challenging but advantageous aspect forcing us to make adjustments that in turn enhance development.  Without challenging conditions in the birth chart (and there are charts that are very easy flow with many trines and sextiles) this life offers minimal achievement in life.  It is the challenging aspects that push us forward and challenge us to find a resolution.   

Remember the tighter the aspect, the more significant its influence is in our lives.  When deciphering a chart it is very important to take this into consideration.  For example, a conjunction between Mars and Pluto is a very strong aspect, but if they are separating from one another and are out by 8 degrees, then an aspect of let’s say Venus conjunct the Sun, (which is a much softer aspect) which is applying and only out by 23 minutes would have a far greater influence than the aspect between Mars and Pluto described above.

DELIGHT IN TRUTH



Let’s stop for a moment and reflect on all of the good that surrounds us.  Refrain from taking a vantage point that there are things missing in your life, or that life is difficult. 

We want only to focus on abundance and all of those events that make us feel fulfillment and times of love shared. 

Take a moment to feel thankful for your life, each of its events and intricacies, the ability of the mind and body to function, our daily pleasures, the magnificence and beauty of nature......  Be aware and appreciative of your ability to filter thoughts and act on them.  Be thankful for the tranquility that the mind can experience through acts of meditation, although this tranquility is generated from a deeper source.  Be thankful for all of the resources at your disposal which are necessary to function and move forward each day.
 
Take a moment to reflect on your own personal life (specific to you).  The gifts that have been laid in front of you, in reality, are far too numerous to list.  Take an honest look at your life and all the wonder it contains. 

Be thankful for all the challenges that life provides you with for these are your stepping stones for growth.

Find that place within that brings you peace and contentment.  Reside in the moment and appreciate that during this very moment you need nothing more than what you have to live....... very this moment. 

Embrace your chosen life and all its complexities as well as its rewards ever present if you are willing to open you heart to experience them.  Above all else, be thankful for your connection with life itself and the oneness that exists in all things.  Understand the truth of this oneness and know that you are an integral part of it.

THE MINOR ASPECTS - Sesquiquardrate


We are continuing our look at the minor aspects in Astrology. The Sesquiquadrate is an 135 degrees aspect and it has an orb of influence of no more than 2 degrees.  The tighter the aspect to being direct the more powerful the influence.  This is considered a minor aspect and is said to have similar qualities to the square and the semi-square.  There is a confusing quality, however, to the Sesquiquadrate.

This minor aspect is said to carry the qualities of Uranus.  Its energies stimulate the desire to break free and to be a non-conformist.  This aspect also carries the qualities of Saturn as it stimulates the need for structure, definition and discipline.  Put these two energies together and it is no wonder that the Sesquiquadrate is a little vague.  It is similar to someone fighting between the qualities of an adult and of a child, molded into one.  One part of this individual wants to rebel against the structure and discipline yet another part of their personality wants and needs the structure and discipline.  Because of these opposing behaviours, there is tension and unpleasant behaviours linked to the Sesquiquadrate.

It operates at its best when there is outside assistance from other planets linked to the planets involved.  For instance, if there were a smooth flowing trine from Mercury to aid in finding a solution to the typical issues face by an adolescent.  Saturn wants to contain the rebellious nature of Uranus, as there will be times when the choices made by Uranus’s rash behaviour can be a bit disturbing.  Uranus wants to reform and challenge orthodox Saturn to build something new and let go of old outdated ways and thinking. 

As you can see there will be quite a conflict of ideas and Saturn wants to win out because the tried and tested ways work better than Uranus’s ideas of bringing something new to the table.  We are never certain which will win out, however.  This is why we need assistance from another sources.  Perhaps Neptune can add to the flavour of the combatants and add a mystical quality to the disarray of these concepts.  Perhaps visualization and intuition hold the answer.

One thing is for certain, it will take some time to resolve the conflict and for the conditions to evolve.  Taking into consideration the planetary energies involved and the house placements will help to understand what the problem might be and perhaps offer some solution to the dilemma.  Many Astrologers continue to feel that the energies of the Sesquiquadrate are similar to the semi-square in that it is a minor irritant that would go unnoticed without other challenging conditions within the horoscope to emphasize the issue.
