A POST FOR HALLOWE’EN

We were asked what type of influence the planets would have on us for today, Hallowe’en.  Our review of the energies is with adults in mind as opposed to being from a perspective of their influences for children. 

The outer planets are the planets that have greater and lasting effects on us but since we are looking at one day in particular, we are looking more closely at the inner planets as well as the Moon. 

The Sun, Moon and Mercury are all in the sign of Scorpio.  This in itself is quite significant as we might have a greater flexibility in getting in touch with the occult and psychic realms of experience. 

Mercury would enhance our thinking and creative approach in the psychic realms and push us to think on a deeper level, perhaps reaching within.  It is believed that the door or veil is more open or more thin during this period and that we are more receptive to information from the other side.  Scorpio’s energy is insistent on reaching below the surface.  If we were to attempt to connect with source and the general feelings brought on by the vibrations carried over from our youth when we were open and less “programmed”, we could connect to ingrained information that may be trying to surface.  This knowing may become more accessible for us now under these influences.

The Moon, which is also in Scorpio today, would open the channels to psychic and occult understanding through our instincts and emotional interactions with spirit.  Our intuition and feelings would be enhanced and this should collaborate with the internal information we are receiving as a result of Mercury’s influence.  Psychic understanding and intuition are tied very closely to our emotions as they are connected through this interaction with the Moon.

With the Sun in Scorpio, we may be able to get in contact with our higher selves and gain insight into our own personal connection with source.  The Astrological Sun is tied to our identity and who we are on a deep level of understanding.  Perhaps with the channels being open today more than normal, we can make a greater connection with our true selves.  Perhaps for the few who are more aware of their aligning with source, there might even be a shift of sorts that could take place.

At the same time, interestingly enough, Neptune is in opposition to the North Node.  This would be considered the most significant of all the connections mentioned.  With the North Node tied to our destiny and the South Node tied to our past, our past ties to mysticism could be highly activated during this time, as the South Node would be conjunct Neptune.  The South Node is relevant to where we have come from and what we have brought with us into this life; Interesting now that the nodes are being activated from Neptune, the planet of mystical insight, spiritual awakening and psychic inclinations.  Because Neptune is in opposition to the North Node, we would do well to sit and talk openly with anyone who shares our personal views and insight to see what they have to say.  Much could be learned from them right now.  The connection between the Nodes and Neptune will carry on late into November and even early into December.  As a result, this transit is much longer lasting than the ones discussed above and therefore this transit is much more significant and influencial.

Enjoy Hallowe’en, Samhain (or however you may celebrate this day) and the energies it brings.  This time is not just for our children.  It hold significance for all of us.

NEW MOON IN SCORPIO

On Sunday, October 30, 2016, we will have a New Moon in the sign of Scorpio at 7 degrees. 

As mentioned in previous posts, the New Moon offers energies conducive of new growth.  Plant the seeds of your plans so that you can harvest your efforts in the future, particularly under the influence of the Full moon in Scorpio in six months from now (May 10, 2017).  We not only plant the seeds under the New Moon but we also germinate them by acting on our ambitions and instincts to move ahead in our endeavours.

To utilize the full benefits of this Scorpio New Moon’s energies, we have to understand the energies of Scorpio.  Scorpio is a deep and reflective sign, so not only should we delve deep into our own subconscious, we actually need to bring to the surface anything deep within that needs purging or transforming.  This could include anything of a sexual nature as part of Scorpio’s energies can be sexual in nature.  Scorpio’s energies are driven to uncover anything within us that has held us back from maturing or moving into the next level of understanding in our lives as well as our connection to our own spirituality.

Scorpio is strongly connected to the occult and mystical practice.  Scorpio wants to uncover all the mysteries that these avenues hold.  We can unfold or release these energies into positive directions during this moon phase and open the channels or re-awaken these channels within if they have been blocked in any way.  In general, if any of these passages have been blocked, we ourselves have blocked them.  Dig deep to understand why. 

Is there a part of us that is afraid of what we might uncover within ourselves?  Is there a part of us that is negatively influenced by Hollywood with all of the movies associating spirit and mysticism with dark energy?  Spirit and mysticism are considered Scorpio connections and the general public unfortunately associate dark matters with Scorpio. 

If you were to examine the energies of Scorpio under a clear light, you would find that Scorpio searches for truth and nothing more.  Negative energies are not tied to truth as they are a fabrication of the ego which thrives on fear based ideas.

The energies of this Scorpio New Moon are actually a time when we can break new ground and begin anew with insight that is at a much higher level than normally.  We are capable of clear understanding of our inner reflections and we can analyse these in depth so that we can rise above any intrusions that have held us back. 

This is especially true due to the link to transiting Neptune which is in trine to this New Moon’s position.  Neptune is all about mystical unfolding and enlightenment.  Neptune brings about psychic potential and the New Moon can unlock these channels that are within each of us.  For those already open to these energies, this New Moon cycle can open even more doors that were previously closed or doors we were reluctant to walk through.

Mercury is in conjunction to the New Moon.   Mercury is like a chameleon as it adapts and takes on the energies of other planets that it is in touch with.  Mercury helps us assimilate what is being suggested and defines things for us.  Mercury is the planet of the mind and the mind will be highly stimulated during this period which allows us to make sense of everything on a very deep level.

It is time to purge all those things that are not truly you so that we can understand who we are at the core.  We can move forward in leaps through true understanding and by acknowledging our capabilities and transform our lives through self-reflection.  Get rid of unwanted energies that hold us back. 

Pluto, one of the ruling planets of Scorpio, is related to death but this is not necessarily literal.  It usually represents the death of a situation....the ending of things and a birth of something new.  This is what these energies are now implying.

LUCK & OUR ATTITUDE

Do you think of yourself as lucky? 

There is no question why some people never seem to win in life.  These people truly believe that they are not winners.  How can we expect to win at anything in life if this is our attitude?  Some people do not recognize their attitudes as reinforcing negativity and others do not realize that they allow their thoughts to run in this direction.  Through their attitudes and focus, they close the door to opportunities and squash the potential of positive possibilities.  It is their belief structure or focus and their expectations that hold them back.  Our lives reflect what we put out, so if our thoughts are focused on “I never win anything”, “I’m a looser”, “It will never happen to me”, our lives will reflect these thoughts. 

If you manipulate your thoughts and force yourself to focus on what you have in life instead of what is missing, you open the door to abundance.  What you believe is possible for you is what will come your way.  Opportunity is presented to those who recognize that anticipation and gratitude presents more of the same.  It simply will not materialize unless you open that door and raise your expectations and vibration to one of gratitude and plenty. 

We mold our lives through our thoughts, our expectations and our belief structure.  We can refocus our concentration anytime as long as we are aware of our thoughts.  How often have you stated, “Money doesn’t grow on trees!”, “I can’t do that!”, “What is wrong with me?”, “I’ll never amount to anything!”, “Oh, I am stupid!” and the list goes on.  If we are going to program ourselves, why would we not program ourselves positively?  Our line of thinking and belief structure slowly manifests over time whether we are aware of it or not.

Life events will happen with or without our permission but if we focus on the positive outcomes of even the most difficult lessons or events, we can grow immensely from these experiences.  It has been said that we have already chosen our lessons before we arrived here.  It is suggested then, for example, if we were to fall ill, rather than feel sorry for ourselves, we should focus on healing and becoming well again.  Visualizations of perfect health, for example, is a perfect starting point to healing. 

We set things in motion by our belief structures along the way.  We gradually mold our lives by our thoughts and expectations.  We can make this a positive experience or a less than desirable one.  Life may dictate events, whether preplanned or not, but we have a choice as to how we will handle each of these situations through our attitude.

What do you focus on?  Do you believe in yourself?  Luck is only a belief.  Take control of your destiny and create a life filled with promise and abundance of whatever is important to you.

TRANSITING NODES THROUGH THE BIRTH CHART

The transiting Nodes take 18 months to move through all of the signs of the zodiac.  Depending on the astrological house system you are using, it will take approximately 1 ½ months to move through a house or sign. 

As houses depict areas of life, the nodes moving through a house will define areas of life where we are gaining knowledge.  We get a deeper understanding of the areas of life governed by the house position of the nodes. 

Remember that there are two nodes; a North and South node and they are always in opposition (opposite) to one another so both houses will be affected by our nodes.

The Nodes are attached to our soul’s mission and we have come to experience life more fully in each area of life that the nodes are influencing.  In general we are here to serve on one level or another and although the Nodes definitely teach us valuable lessons in life, once learned and understood, we can offer up information and assistance to those that are interested to assist them in whatever way we can. 

The nodes are tied to our destiny so when we are experiencing our nodes in action, stimulated through house contact and planetary links, we have obligations to uphold.  Remember we came into this life to fulfill our life’s goals which are closely linked to the nodal positions at birth.  We have to give a little of ourselves in order to complete our soul’s requirements, as we have much to offer.  Remember your higher connection to yourself from a spiritual standpoint and the earthly measures we take in order to get one step closer to our higher purpose.  We have come to serve a purpose and to learn lessons through experience and to add to the greater whole.

We are at the helm of our experiences but often when the nodes are under hard aspect, or activated through transit, we may feel as though we are at the mercy of life’s events and life seems to have control over us.  This is when we have to use our inner guidance, our spirit guides, our astrology charts or those wise individuals that walk this journey with us to work through life’s events.  Many times the overall plan behind our experiences may escape us consciously and we have to have faith in the process and recognize that there is something much bigger than what is obvious to us in human form.

 

The North Node always pointing us towards our objectives.  When the North Node is transiting a point in our chart, it asks us to go deep into our lesson.  It asks us to think about what we might want to do or where we might want to address change or gain through experience.  The North node operates in the same fashion as Jupiter, so it offers us opportunities and provides us with good luck and generally makes us happy and more content in our life’s search.

The South Node acts in similar ways to the planet Saturn. The South Node wants us to pay attention to what can be learned through the potential rough spots that we may encounter along the way.  It offers lessons and responsibilities and makes us aware of our liabilities and makes us work on these areas of life which are in focus and the energies of the planets that are being activated through this contact.  Although we may have to sacrifice or let go of something, it also offers up chances for spiritual growth through these experiences and lessons well learned.  This knowledge will be used as our lives progress.

Remember to stay open to advice being offered from both nodes and use the energies of the North Node to facilitate growth in your life’s quest and use the energies and lessons of the South Node with caution and care but recognize the importance of what it is that is being said for your greater good.  All aspects regardless of which aspect it is has something important to give.  Leaving the door open to this understanding will allow the positive energies of all aspects to generate opportunities in our lives.

THE POLITICAL ARENA

It is seldom that we discuss topics such as politics, and this post in not intended to discuss what is transpiring in the USA currently.  We thought, however, that we might touch on how political leaders might affect us. 

We are in search of peace and tranquility in a world that can seem anything but peaceful and tranquil.  Do you believe that the leaders of all nations have an obligation to restore peace in the world at large which obviously would influence our own personal space?

In our opinion, political leaders should represent honour.  They should be honest in their expression, show integrity in their actions and truth in their conviction. 

How many leaders in the world today represent such valued traits?  What will the general public learn from their communications and their interactions with others?  What is it that makes you want to back one particular leader in your local politics?  How will they best serve the needs of their country and this world as a whole?

Unfortunately, many leaders and potential leaders seem to exhibit less than admiral qualities and intentions, yet they request your trust in their abilities.  How does anyone make decisions based on misrepresentations and platforms of not “What can I do for you?” but what someone else cannot do for you? 

In politics, power and corruption often seems to prevail over common sense and compassion.

With these less than ideal conditions, at the very least we have our intuition and intellect to guide us.  We can stand by our truths and those things that are important and a priority in our own personal lives.  Martin Luther King, Jr. said this perfectly, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Hold onto what you believe in.  Be the example you want to see in the world.  Raise your voice and speaking your truth.  Do your part no matter how small this may seem in your eyes. 

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

SUN IN SCORPIO, 2016 TO 2017, PART II

Today, we are continuing our look at the energies in affect over the next year influencing those individuals with the Sun in Scorpio.  Part I was posted on Friday, October 21, 2016.

To review Sun in Scorpio tendencies, please visit http://www.holmastrology.com/sun-in-scorpio

Neptune (the planet of illusion, mystery and psychic revelation) is in the sign of Pisces and during this period, it will be between 9 and 14 degrees.  You can allow as much as 5-7 degrees orb with all the outer planets.  As a result, if your Sun is between 2 to 21 degrees Scorpio, you will be affected by Neptune during this upcoming period.  The angle between the Sun and Neptune will be a trine and trines usually work favourably.  As a result, during this time you may find that you seem to be more open to mystical insight and your psychic abilities may be enhanced.  Allow your intuition to guide you but make sure you keep both your feet on the ground.

Pluto (the planet of transformation, change, disruption and regeneration) will be in the sign of Capricorn between 15 to 19 degrees.  The aspect between the Sun and Pluto will be a sextile and if your Sun is between 8 or 9 degrees to 25 or 26 degrees, you will have this sextile between the Sun and Pluto in your chart.  The transit of Pluto suggests that you uncover anything that needs to surface during this time and make the changes that life is suggesting.  Sextiles are opportunity aspects and life seems to flow in a positive direction. You will need to grab hold of any opportunities that come your way.  The biggest chance for change will be to unlock your hidden potential or open up more of who you actually are.  Pluto transforms all it touches.  By checking where your Sun is and where Pluto is transiting in your natal chart, you will be able to uncover areas of life that now have the opportunity for change, growth and transformation.

Next year really looks good for Scorpio individuals.  You will, however, also have to take into consideration what else your chart is indicating to you. 

In these last two Astrology posts, we have only discussed the aspects to the Sun and there are many more placements that need to be deciphered to get an overall picture of what lies ahead.  Remember to use the Sun and Mars, as well as the progressed Moon, to find out when some of these aspects that we have been discussing have the opportunity to manifest into something worthwhile.  These planets we have just mentioned are timers in Astrology and can be used to give you further information as to when things might unfold.  Uranus all by itself is also a great timer, and you can use it to time life events and change, as well as freedom energies coming into your life.

Enjoy what lies ahead regardless of what other influences are in the chart.  Make your life work for you and remember you are in charge at the very least of your attitude and the way you look and feel towards all that transpires in life.  You always have at your disposal the ability to learn from each and every experience that life sends your way.

SUN IN SCORPIO, FORECAST 2016 TO 2017, PART I

The Sun moves into the sign of Scorpio on October 23, 2016. 

To review Sun in Scorpio tendencies, please visit http://www.holmastrology.com/sun-in-scorpio

Instead of revisiting the many characteristics associated with Sun in Scorpio, we thought we would take a look at what the outer planets will be doing with the Sun in the Sign of Scorpio for the remainder of 2016 and into the next year.

For the rest of 2016 and much of 2017, Jupiter will be in the sign of Libra.  Jupiter is the planet of good luck and its energies relate to philosophy, religion and spirituality.  Jupiter will be semi-sextile to those with the Sun in Scorpio for the next year.  This suggests the possibility of being in the right place at the right time for these energies to open up for the Sun in Scorpio individual.  This aspect, the semi-sextile, is an opportunity aspect.  Sometimes things fall into your lap and other times you have to act to make these energies work in your favour.  It will be up to the Scorpio individual as to how handle these very fortunate energies.  Hopefully you open up to these vibrations and make them part of your life and use them to your advantage.

Saturn,( the planet of discipline, of challenging conditions and of important learning potential) will be in the sign of Sagittarius between 13 to 25 degrees.  If your Scorpio Sun is within these degrees, you will also have Saturn on the other side of your Sun in semi-sextile. 

The midpoint of the energies of Jupiter and Saturn can reach your Sun from December 2016 to early February of 2017.  During this time, the energies of both planets will highly influence your Sun if your Scorpio sun is around the 20 degree mark.  Jupiter can bring with it opportunities for awareness with spirituality and Saturn can bring stability into this area of life.  Ensure that you use these energies appropriately and take advantage of the opportunity during this time. 

The rest of the time during this period we are focusing on, Saturn will offer opportunities for reaching your goals in life.  You may be the agent of this or life itself may steer you in this direction.  Either way a little effort on your part will go a long way.

Uranus (the planet of freedom and drastic change) is in the sign of Aries and moves from 22-27 degrees during October 2016 through October 2017).  If your Scorpio Sun is in the 15 to 29 degree range, you will be affected by Uranus during this period.  The aspect between the Sun and Uranus is a quincunx suggesting that you may have to do some adapting and adjustments to your life during this time.  This could include your occupation if the Sun or Uranus is in the tenth house, or your relationship if either of these planets are in your seventh house, or the home environment and family if there is a connection to the fourth house. 

No matter where Uranus is located, get ready for change and some disruption in the areas of life affected by your natal Sun and the house or houses Uranus is transiting.  Change is often a bit challenging although Uranus suggests that these changes are necessary.  This adjustment period is something that will need to take place and it is best not to fight the energies at hand.  Go with the flow to make the adjustment much easier.

We will continue our look at the energies affecting those individuals with the Sun in Scorpio over the next year in our next Astrology post on Monday, October 24, 2016.

WITHSTANDING LIFE'S PRESSURES

Life often presents us with challenges that seem to steal our focus and somehow manages to stifle our growth.  We are often confronted with what feels like massive, overwhelming tests that come at us from everywhere.  We are seldom prepared for these events as they come when we least expect.  This is certainly how it can feel and our reactions are not always what we would want in hindsight. 

For some, this seems to be the reoccurring theme in life.  When we are faced with adversity and difficult conditions, we often meet these lessons with opposition.  We sometimes feel as though we are victims of life but are we?  Are we not actually victims of our reaction to life’s events? 

Life is going to happen, with or without our consent.  We can face life head on and use the events to grow and learn from and recognize these events as not part of us and not own them or make them our own or alternatively, we can meet life events with frustration, anger, create a very difficult lesson and then make these events a part of us.  We decide to own them and make them a part of our identity. 

With the latter scenario, how will this ever change something that has already happened?  What is the benefit of the attitude we have decided to have? 

We have a choice on how we deal with adversity.  It is also up to us how long we choose to hang on to the events that have taken place around us.  How much control are you willing to give to these uncontrollable events?

This is not to say that we are unaffected by what takes place even if we do not fight the event.  This does not mean that we are not emotionally affected by life’s events nor does it mean that we are cold or unemotional in any way.  What it does mean is that life happens and we have options in what ways we react.  There are always choices to be made.  We are not at the mercy of these events as many believe.  We are always at the helm of our reactions and our emotions.  We alone dictate how we will allow ourselves to be affected by each and every event in life.

Undesirable event do happen and they are not by choice but we have choices as to how we will allow ourselves to be affected and we make those choices whether those decisions are conscious or not.  If we choose to analyse our decisions and recognize our part in the process, we learn how to adjust to life’s events rather than becoming victims of them.  Being familiar with our past reactions and decision helps us to learn to control the next reaction or decision that we will have to make. 

Learning to listen to the quite inner guide as it will help us through the process and understanding our reactions and taking control can have lasting effects.  These will provide us with the momentum and courage to withstand any pressure that comes from our lessons in life.  Stop, process and then react through controlled decisions.  Stand tall in the face of adversity by recognizing the lesson, seeing it as not yours to own and moving forward with that knowledge.

THE PROGRESSED MOON & ITS SIGNIFICANCE

The progressed Moon moves through an Astrology sign in 2 ½ years at about one degree per month and moves through the entire zodiac at approximately the same rate as Saturn.  As a result the progressed Moon’s return has a profound impact on the Saturn return period.  The progressed Moon makes aspects at varying times throughout the whole chart.  It is in one house for 2 ½ years and will effect each and every planet and angle for a three month period; therefore, its influence is powerful and influential. 

The progressed Moon travelling through the zodiac will be influential when it is within a degree of being direct (at the same degree) with any planet or angle in the chart.  The conjunction, square and opposition are the most marked for change and restlessness, and these can often be relied on to create activity in life.  The conjunction is especially powerful as it intensifies the planetary energies as well as the house placement.  The house placement will be the area of life that will be affected and the planet or point in the chart being activated will be experienced through the energies connected with that particular planetary energy.

When the progressed Moon ties in with the Midheaven it is seldom that the career is not affected as well as the home and family.  When it ties in with the Ascendant, activity often takes place on a very personal level and many people often are addressing relationship influences. 

With the Sun is involved in any contact, it is often the perfect time to take advantage of opportunities to move ahead in your life’s pursuits especially when the progressed Moon is in positive aspect to the Sun. 

The progressed Moon is often used as a timer for events of significance and nearly always suggests that the particular area of life (dictated by house position) will be affected.  Often fluctuations occur.  For example if the progressed Moon makes an aspect to Venus in the second house it is quite possible that your finances will be affected.  With Pluto in the second house making an aspect with the progressed Moon not only are the finances subject to fluctuation but you may experience dynamic changes and these changes that take place often affect you permanently or at the very least have a lasting effect.  Security issues would also be part of the process with the progressed Moon making aspects to planets in the second house.

The progressed Moon is an emotional indicator and if the planet or angle being affected has several stressful aspects to it in the birth chart, you can expect more tumultuous and sensitive conditions than if the planet in question were well aspected.  The birth chart is an indicator of life long challenging conditions or positive influences that will be rectified over time.  Some indicators remain a challenge for many years or indicate that there is work needed in a positive manner for the individual in question each time there is an activation through transit or progression. 

Your natal chart is your signature, and all planet or angle energies, regardless of how challenging the conditions in the birth chart, can be rectified or challenged over time and turned around.  We are not saddled with difficulties on a permanent basis.  The challenging aspects in the natal chart are put in place for us to overcome and gain strength from.  These are valuable lessons.

The progressed Moon does not have the same impact that the natal Moon has unless other major transits or progressions are in effect at the same time.  The angular house cusps also play an important role when aspected by the progressed Moon, as angular house cusps are indicative of action areas of the chart.  These angular house cusps apply to natal placement as well as progressed placements. 

Changing conditions are often very apparent when the progressed Moon activates an angular house cusp.  To clarify, the angular house cusps are the Ascendant, the Midheaven or MC, the fourth house cusp or IC and the seventh house cusp or DC.

The progressed Moon is certainly an emotional indicator.

SIMPLY ALLOW

In life, the choices are many and the road you choose has many sub-paths that can take you to places you were unaware of.  It is not fully a matter of timing and it is not fully a matter of knowing but both of these are part of the process.  Each step, each event, each lesson (good or challenging) are just meant to be.  Allowing the unfolding as it happens makes your experiences much less challenging.

You are in control of each decision.  You do have a voice in what takes place.  We are never at the mercy of life although sometimes it certainly feels that way.  We choose our reactions to each and every event in our lives. 

Acceptance is important...acceptance of what life throws our way.  Acceptance is not surrender.  Far from it.  Set goals; take action and reach those goals but do not fight what has already happened in life.  This you cannot change BUT your attitude towards it....this you have full control over.  We make decisions.  These decisions can make the lessons difficult or they can allow the lessons to flow.  The decision is ours.  We can fight the lessons and make the lesson even more challenging or we can surrender to the lesson; accept and move forward.  Whatever choice we make, the lesson will be learned.  How it is learned is again our choice.  Our attitude if adjusted here and there can make our lives so much more enjoyable.  There is no point in resisting direction unless we truly believe that we have made a turn that will create a more easy experience to learn a specific lesson. 

We have choices which create alternate routes which might serve us in many different ways.  If the sub path you have chosen feels right, simply allow life to unfold.  If life suggests change, allow change.  If life suggests that you continue down the same road, follow that road.  When life dictates and you really have no choice then follow that road.  Be open to all of the synchronicities in life.  Recognize what life is telling you.  Allow the unfolding of the greatest good.  Everything unfolds and the lessons necessary are always learned.  It is your choice if you take the higher road or the lower road.

HOW DO PLANETS ACTIVATE ACTIVITY IN ASTROLOGY

We have received questions on what activates a planetary alignment.  We are going to use Pluto as our example.  Let’s say that Transiting (Current position) Pluto has been in Conjunction with your natal (birth position) Venus for some time now.  Pluto will move very slowly through the heavens.  It can affect your Venus for up to three years and for people very sensitive to the energies of Pluto, it could last as long as five years.  Pluto on Venus suggests transformation in your love life or changes directly related to your finances.  There are other translations but we will stick to these predominate obvious few.

We will not discuss the meaning of Transiting Pluto on Venus in detail.  What we are concentrating on is when this aspect will be enhanced and when to expect activity.  The closer transiting Pluto moves towards being direct in this example, (in other words when it is less than one degree in separation or moving towards the specific degree Venus has in your chart), the stronger it becomes. 

You ask, however, “what actually activates this transit?”  It might become activated when it sits directly on Venus, within 10 minutes or so, but more than likely when Pluto is within range, (so under a half of a degree from Venus’ position), an inner planet will activate this transit.

The inner planets that activate energies or stimulate action are Mars and the Sun (also Uranus, an outer planet, when it is direct).  You can often use Uranus to pinpoint the timing for events within a couple of days.  The progressed Moon also stimulates activity and this takes place the closer it is to being direct.  The progressed Moon has an influence for a period of three months, when in aspect.  The influence from the progress Moon is when it is one degree approaching, one degree while direct and one degree separating.

For example, if Venus is 15 degrees Capricorn in your chart, as Pluto begins to affect Venus, you will notice some activity, at least on a mental level.   When Pluto is about 1 degree or less of being direct, its energies will grow in intensity as it approaches.  If transiting Mars or the transiting Sun is moving towards this 15 degree Capricorn, or in opposition (180 degrees) to this degree or in square (90 degrees) to this degree, it will stimulate activity and bring out the potential of what these energies suggest in your chart.  You will also have to look at which house is being transited by Pluto as well as the house natal Pluto resides in within the birth chart as these will be the areas of life that will be affected by this transit of Pluto to Venus.

The trines (120 degrees) and sextiles (60 degrees) from transiting Sun and Mars will also affect the timing but it may not be as noticeable as the square or opposition and especially by the conjunction (0 degrees).  The conjunction is widely used as a timer in Astrology.  Checking to see when this is activated either from the Sun or Mars will help you to pinpoint the potential for activity.  You may be able to narrow down the time to one or two weeks.  As mentioned, the progressed Moon especially by conjunction will often activate any planet it makes contact with and you can often use this as a tool for pinpointing timing as well.
