FULL MOON IN CANCER, JANUARY 1, 2018

This Full Wolf Moon on January 1, 2018, is in its own sign of Cancer.  The energies of the Moon will feel right at home, although they will be somewhat sensitive to the environment and those individuals around them.  This Full Moon falls at 11 degrees in Cancer.   How appropriate as we will be entering into the New Year, and this will be a great time for celebration and a time of enjoyment with family and close friends.  Cancer’s energies are perfect for family get-togethers and it would probably work really well if you could celebrate it in your own home.  You will need a comfortable place where you feel at home and you can get in touch with those you love.

You will find that you may be more sensitive to those around you and anything that seems gruff or intrusive will not sit well with you.  If you happen to find yourself in an argument or disruptive situation, you may be inclined to respond deeply and emotionally.  You will have a need to be treated in a gentle fashion and also wish to treat others in the same manner.  It is best not to allow yourself to go to a place of turbulent emotions.  You are too sensitive for this under this influence. 

You will find that your senses are enhanced as transiting Neptune is in trine to this lunar position.  Neptune can be quite sensitive and you may play the martyr to someone in need under this influence or wish to help the needy in your environment.  There is a mystical quality linked to this trine and especially so if you have the placement located in the fourth, eighth or twelfth houses in your chart.

This Full Moon may go by with little influence for you in particular if you do not have other natal aspects that interact during this influence.  Any planet within 3 to 5 degrees of this placement (11 degrees Cancer) will interact and promote energetic and potential spiritual activities in your life.  Mars and Jupiter are conjunct in Scorpio and within a couple of degrees of this Full Moon and Neptune.  These all together create a Grand Water Trine.  This configuration often symbolizes the potential for spiritual, psychic and intuitive experiences.

Mars and Jupiter will enhance this experience as Mars brings forth the energy and drive to move forward into these activities while Jupiter brings with it expansion into areas such as philosophy, religion and spiritual practices.  If you happen to have a Grand Water Trine in your natal chart which activates this transiting Grand Water Trine, the energies are increased and you might have visions, psychic experiences and dreams relevant to important aspects of your life.

Those who are already sensitive may find that their emotional expression enhanced under this influence, and you could be subject to intense emotional experiences even when you don’t really understand what causes them to come to the surface.  Follow your gut instinct.  Rely on your intuitive understanding and recognize that it might not even be coming from you.

This could be a very powerful placement for those with aspects (especially by conjunction) activating this configuration.  Remember there has to be natal aspects in force for the experience to be enhanced and active in your life. 

Look for safety and closeness with those that are near and dear to you.  Open up and express yourself.  It might be an amazing experience and also enlightening for all those that are open to these energies.

DO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN BE HAPPY?

You are a hodgepodge of all that you choose to focus on. 

Our beliefs formulated from our past experiences can hold us in their grip for many years if and when we decided to believe that events are part of who we are.  We can identify with events and in so doing they feel like they form a part of us.  In reality, nothing is a part of us or belongs to us unless we chose to believe this.

We believe we are a cumulation of the events we have experienced. This is only true if we believe this.  This is not who we are. 

If a past experience feels uncomfortable, disappointing, or heavy, why would we want to hold on to this and believe that it is a part of us?  Why take on anything that does not make us happy or content (which is our birth right)?  Why would we not shift our focus to something that is (this moment)?  Why would we not want to begin this practice now?

We should ask ourselves these questions.  If we find that the answers suggest that we are not allowed the expressions of peace, love, forgiveness, etc. or if we feel we are not worthy of these expressions, we should ask where these beliefs are coming from? 

We have the ability to move forward in any direction, at any time. 

Why would you not choose what is best suited for your advancement and well-earned happiness? 

Each of us deserves to be content and happy.  If it is a choice, why would we not want to take control of our life’s path and accept our place of contentment without reservations? 

Listen to the little voice within that works with us.   We are entitled to be happy and once accepted, we are obligated to spread that happiness by living it!

BORN BETWEEN 1959 – 1968

In this post, we will be sharing some of the energies specific to those individuals born between 1959 and 1968.

Those born during this time period will have a completely unique family unit from generations born before them.  Many born during this period have what is considered unconventional family structures and these individuals are unique in their nature. 

Many of these individuals carried a responsibility for any shortcomings within their childhood family circle, quite unlike the thinking of generations before them (and with some thinking of today) that the responsibility for any deficiencies in the family unit or with the children is bore by the parents. 

The individuals born between 1959 and 1968 are largely a more compliant group with an understanding or opinion that there are fated effects in life and that there is a job to do and a life to orchestrate.

This generation has brought with them a new purpose, a visualization and belief that the world is capable of cleansing itself from its self-made misery.  This concept is blatantly obvious to these people and a large part of their focus is to cleanse or heal the world around them.  There is a feeling of responsibility and obligations to be met.  They are ready to take on this challenge whether it is in the immediate family or on a much more grand scale.  They are somewhat impatient and want to get on with the job at hand.

These people seek this development through transcendent means.  They are spiritual in nature or strive to live in the “real-world” and in a useful manner. They seek to unleash new thinking and concepts and to transcend the old ways simply through everyday living and more substantially through humanitarian efforts.  They challenge us to a new way of living, to teaching our children to take control of their lives and accept responsibility for their own actions.

As their children age, they hope that they have taught their values through example so that generations to come will follow and continue to take responsibility for their actions and their lives. 

It should be noted that there can be other aspects and planetary positions that will dilute the effect of this generational position.  It is necessary to look at the full natal chart to get the full picture (as always).

OUR WISH TO YOU

From our family to yours, may you allow and embrace the gifts of peace, love and happiness now and always.

I trust we can all honour our similarities and respect our differences. 

In the year ahead, my biggest wish is that we each can learn to love ourselves just a little bit more so that that love can spill over and touch each and every living being we encounter.

Stay as open as a young child but use the wisdom you hold as would a respected elder.

Blessing from all of us at Holm Astrology!

SUN IN CAPRICORN, DECEMBER 21, 2017

The Sun moved out of the optimistic, free flying, happy-go-lucky sign of Sagittarius and has moved into the more cautious, calculated and career minded sign of Capricorn (at approximately 11 a.m. EST on December 21, 2017).  Remember the Sun has an orb of influence of about 16 degrees, so if you are born on the cusp even as far in as 2-3 degrees Capricorn, you will be influenced in part by the formative Capricorn traits but also be influenced with the optimistic approach to life associated with Sagittarius’ energies and this is just your sun sign influence.

Those with their Sun in Capricorn know what it takes to be successful, whether this is through their life’s duties and career potential or whether this is through their obligations and financial responsibilities to their family.  Capricorn individuals are steadfast in their approach to life and will work diligently towards goals they set for themselves.  This is a resilient Zodiac sign that is able to withstand the pressures of life and although they are emotional, these emotions are not easily expressed.  Capricorn individuals feel things on an intense level from within.

Capricornians’ need for achievement (which is very prevalent in most earth signs) often puts them in a leadership role or at least puts them in a position of authority.  They also respect authority and achievement.  They understand intuitively what it takes to move up the ladder of success.  They respect authority because they respect hard work in others as much as they pursue this themselves.  The “tried, tested and true” is what they adhere to. 

Laziness and poor judgement does not sit well with Capricorns. 

Transiting Saturn will be moving into the sign of Capricorn towards the end of 2017 and will remain in the first 10 to 11 degrees of Capricorn for most of 2018.  Saturn is at home in its natural rulership sign and for those with their Sun in the early to mid-degrees of Capricorn may find this year to be a year of achievement and corporate recognition for the work that they have been doing in the past.  Much, of course, will depend on the overall condition of Saturn in your natal chart and the aspects to the natal Sun.  Check your chart or ask as Astrology to check which house that Saturn will be transiting through to hone in on the area of life that will be highlighted for you specifically.

It takes about 2 ½ years for Saturn to move through a sign and those with Saturn in the sign of Capricorn in their birth charts will be experiencing their Saturn return (ages 29, 58 and 87).  The Saturn return is an extremely important period in life when we often experience life changing events, often challenging, but when we move through this time in our lives we come out stronger and changed on a permanent basis - for the better.  This is a maturity period especially the first return at 29.  Most individuals will feel the energies as much as a year before the actual return to the birth position.

Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is all about structure and stability that is maintained through constant effort and a building process that encourages strength and solidity often after hard work and a disciplined approach.  Get ready for more responsibilities and opportunities to learn.  Saturn is the teacher and the disciplinarian but also offers rewards for hard work and diligent efforts.

Yule – WINTER SOLSTICE

The Winter Solstice (Hibernal Solstice) falls on December 21 at 11:28 a.m. EST this year (2017).  For your convenience, to check the exact time in your area we have provide a link - www.timeanddate.com/calendar/winter-solstice.html

December 21 will be the least amount of daylight we will experience in the northern hemisphere as the sun is currently on a very low arc in the sky in our area. 

The good news, the day light will start to get longer and our precious light will soon return.  The arc will heighten and the days will slowly lengthen.  As nature sleeps and the light is low, we can use the longer nights to reflect on our journey.  We can plan our intentions for when the energy and the light returns.  Mother nature always knows best.  Follow her example (look at the rest of nature) to rest and wait for the return of light, for the return of warmth, the return of the energy that nurtures us mentally, physically and spiritually.

Our current lesson is patience.  Utilize the wait to look deep into the shadows of self.  Bring light to the darkest corners of self.  Fill each corner with love and allow spirit to grow.

Is it coincidence that during Yule season (the rebirth of light), many celebrate the birth of Christ (the rebirth of salvation)?  This is a time of celebration for many, whether it is Yule, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza, etc.

We have much to celebrate.  Be filled with promise, with faith in all that is, with gratitude, with love and with inner and healing light!

TRANSITING JUPITER CONJUNCT THE MOON

This conjunction between transiting Jupiter and the Moon when in force marks a time of positive energy on an emotional level.  Jupiter expands on things and adds positive reinforcement when it comes to our nurturing and compassionate side.  We truly want to help others, especially those that might be struggling and feel that no one cares.  We can give much of ourselves to others without diminishing our self, or without feeling empty.  In contrast, we may find that giving without measure in return provides us with the emotional support that we might feel we need.  This could come in the form of help from others through religious pursuits or spiritual endeavours.  We will find that the assistance we seek is easily found.

The Moon has to do with our domestic situation, which includes the home environment and also our group of friends and our actual family.  We may feel very generous under the aspect and provide others with what they need.  We may find that we are especially drawn to those close to us, and we will invite them into our homes and share ourselves with them more than we might at other times.  We want to make them feel at home and at ease in our homes.  We will go to great lengths to make them feel comfortable and welcomed.

Jupiter brings with it good luck and often fortunate times.  We are quite willing to share whatever comes our way.  There may be those that take advantage of our generosity under this influence so we may have to watch for becoming too extreme in our giving.  However, most people will see this side of us for what it is and want to give back what we have put out.  Feelings are enhanced and a general feeling of opportunity coming our way is part of our everyday experiences.  Often because of this attitude and belief structure, things actually do go quite well.

The only possible challenging condition that might befall us under this aspect (and this is not often the case) but some do fall into feeling so good that they become too extravagant and spend more than they should, eat more than they should and do not look after themselves the way they should.  Jupiter wants to expand on everything and sometimes everything will include these things as well. 

This is a very positive aspect and can help us get in touch with our inner most self.  In so doing, this will help us with understanding our inner workings, our own emotional makeup and also what has brought us to where we are in our life’s path.  It can open the door to wider perception and intuitive understanding often based on emotional interaction with others.  Even if others do not express themselves verbally, we may pick up on the subtle workings of the subconscious at this time.  The psychic part of who we are can open up new dialogue that was not noticed before or now can become enhanced and further developed.

Take a look at your chart or have an Astrologer review your chart to see when this aspect will influence you.

LOVE'S RADIATING LIGHT

Seek not outside that which can be easily found within. 

Open the door to a loving perception through visualization and awareness.  Love is ever present within...always available and waiting to be experienced. 

Love radiates from self on a purely instinctual level.  It does not grow from the intellect although the intellect needs to understand that it is present.  Love is a living energy that radiates outward once it has been released from within.  Its nature is to ever seek expansion.  We naturally radiate love (think of an infant) unless we have trained ourselves otherwise.

It is available to and for everyone.  It can be experienced at any level of understanding.  Even the most intrusive individuals can share love and although many may feel as though they misplace love, it is always available and accessible if we care to draw upon it.  Our personal pursuits….our quests are tied to love and even if it seems as though love is blemished through our actions in life, true love is always pure and forgiving.

To experience love, we must go within.  If our world appears to be lacking in love, we are not accepting its existence within.  If we open ourselves to self love and believe that we are worthy no matter what ego may argue, we will know and experience the beauty of love.  No one is denied its experience without their personal consent.  Love’s availability is the same for an infant as it is for the elderly regardless of how we have lived our lives.

Find that loving light within that shines forever brighter.  It is calling you.  It is always willing to reveal and share itself naturally.  It is part of your inner light, your core.  Love radiates to the furthest reaches of life’s experience, if you allow it to.

TRANSITING JUPITER CONJUNCT NATAL MERCURY

Mercury is the planet of the mind.  It speaks of our communication techniques which are defined by the sign Mercury is in at our birth and the house placement.  The angles to the planet will define how challenging or how proficient the mind operates.  Squares may suggest challenging conditions but these natal aspects can be used to intensify the mind’s focus especially if Saturn or Pluto is part of the process.  If Uranus is part of the equation is can add a flair of uniqueness.  The squares, although often indicating lessons, can always be confronted and then dealt with accordingly over time, although mental illness and concentration issues can also be defined by Mercury’s condition.  Much depends on the overall condition of Mercury as well as the rest of the chart’s energies.

When Mercury is conjuncted by transiting Jupiter there is an emphasis on the mental processing and often the ability to expand on certain teachings.  Much will depend on the sign Mercury is in as well as the house of the conjunction.  In general, however, subjects such as religion, spirituality and philosophy can become activating forces with our focus.  Jupiter has a tendency to expand on things and pushes for higher learning often through life’s experience, and Mercury will take on these energies and use them to propel its energies. 

Mercury is a neutral planet and actually needs something to stimulate it into action.  It comes to life when it is activated by transit or progression.

The attitude can be changed significantly as Mercury is touched by Jupiter, and Jupiter’s involvement will help to foster a positive attitude and a general feeling of good fortune into everyday life.  The mind is ready to learn and grow through these energies and may also be quite willing to share this information with others, especially if Mercury is in the sign of Gemini, Sagittarius and Leo.  It might be a little recluse if it is in the sign of Capricorn, or even Virgo and sometimes Scorpio, but many individuals will feel wide open to the teachings available under this aspect.

Verify which house Jupiter resides in within your natal chart.  This will also be an area of life that will be affected by open-minded concepts. 

Take advantage of these energies by perhaps taking on new teachings or actually returning to school.  You may wish to travel abroad to gain experience and in so doing, gain understanding of other cultures.  Long distance travel whether in the mind or in the body are often by-products of transiting Jupiter conjunct natal Mercury.

NEW MOON IN SAGITTARIUS, DECEMBER 18, 2017

We wanted to share some interesting facts.  This new moon will be a micro moon.  The moon will be the furthest in its orbit (apogee) from earth.  Legends associated micro moons with increased issues with mental illness, and natural disasters are more likely.  It will be interesting to see if this legend holds any truth.  We also note that the tides will be affected less by the Moon and Sun during the micro moon as the Moon is further away and has less influence.  As a result, the tides can be up to two inches less under this micro moon influence.

The New Moon, as mentioned in previous posts, are about new starts.  They are the time of planting new personal seeds.  This New Moon in Sagittarius speaks in terms of optimism and positive changes.  There are no challenging transiting aspects to this placement currently.  This positioning is part of a Stellium with the Sun, (Moon), Saturn and Venus.  As  result of this Stellium, there will be a heavy influenced of the energies of Sagittarius.

The Sagittarius New Moon (at 1:30 a.m. EST December 18, 2017) will be 26 degrees.  Venus is at 21 degrees while Saturn is at 29 degrees, all in Sagittarius. 

Saturn is in the final degree of Sagittarius and will move into Capricorn on December 21, 2017.  Many Astrologers have noted that any planet in its final degree of any sign signifies a degree of urgency linked with the energies of the sign, its sign position and also the house which it is located in.

Venus has an affiliation with love and romance, often with money and things of beauty.  In general, Venus is a very favourable planet.  When linked with the Moon and the Sun, there is a likelihood of a union, potentially involving love and affection.  It can be friendship and does not necessarily have to be romantic in nature, but the potential for love and affection is very high. 

Saturn can bring security and stability into the picture and also makes the relationship serious, even commitment oriented (if this is in connection with a love relationship).  Saturn could have the same effect on friendships of significance and also finances, under this influence.  Review your chart or consult an Astrologer to see what house is being influenced to obtain a better feel for what these energies may be indicating.

Uranus is also tied into this configuration by trine.  Uranus is at 24 degrees in the sign of Aries.  Aries likes to move forward and take a leading role in situations.  Uranus often speaks of new starts and a push in new directions.  Uranus is the awakener of the Zodiac and pushes for change and stimulates us to push forward on a path that might not have been in place before this influence.  Sometimes the changes stimulated by Uranus are unexpected and erratic, but when in trine to this position, it proposes positive change and a path often leading to better things.  Attitude will play an important part of what is taking place as Mercury although almost out of its orb of influence is also in Sagittarius at this time. 

Sagittarius is a sign linked to religious beliefs, philosophy and higher learning often from a spiritual perspective.  It is often accompanied by positivity and a broad outlook.  Although Saturn is involved in the process, the perspective should not be narrow in any way although it might be somewhat changeable.  Sagittarius wants to explore new horizons and Uranus pushes for something new to come out of these changes that are often a requirement of the soul’s contract. 

This whole process looks very promising and offers possibilities that should be explored.  See where this takes you.  As always, much will depend on the overall condition of this placement when linked to the natal chart.  The natal chart always tells the full story.

LOVE YOURSELF

Do you appreciate who you are? 

Take a moment to reflect on the divine that radiates from within.  Do you accept your connection?  The one within is complete within itself needing nothing more or nothing less. 

All love radiates from within.  We are a reflection of that love.  Love connects all things.  Through love we experience harmony and compassion. 

Without love, could we exist? 

We are in unity with love, and we have come into being as an expression of love.

The first step in allowing love to grow as its growth is eternal.  Recognize the love that radiates from within you and to allow yourself to love you.  Mastering self-love can be difficult, because we can always finds flaws connected in our self.  If we can rise above ego’s constant chatter, as it is ego that creates this doubt, you move a step closer to realizing your goal.

Align with your true self and simply allow that magnificent force of love that exists within.  This love is not connected to ego.  Your alignment to love allows you to understand and control this endless pursuit of control by ego.  If you see flaws in yourself, do not identify with them as they are not part of your true essence. To believe they are is a manifestation by ego.  See those thoughts for what they are. 

To beat ego’s control is no different than beating any other an addition.  The thoughts that go through a smoker’s head when they are trying to quite are ridiculous in content when heard after the addiction has been overcome!  The ego’s voice is no different than the voice heard by those suffering from addiction.  We must learn not to identify with that chatter.

You are a perfect creation without true flaw, and love radiates through your pure essence.  We continually seek to learn and for the spirit to grow, but our essence is already a reflection of love.  See yourself for what you truly are.  Stop identifying with the ego.  Any misleading thoughts that belittle you or make you feel superior are ego generated.  Do not identify with these. 

Watch for making judgements based on the ego’s interpretation.  Love yourself as you are and watch love grow in your life.  Love is the greatest power of all and can never be lost. 

Eternal life; eternal love.  There are no bounds.

THE JUPITER RETURN

Transiting Jupiter has a cycle of 12 years when it returns to its natal position in our Astrology chart.  Each planet has a return cycle and you can draw up a chart for that particular moment in time when each planet comes back to its original position.  You would read this type of chart similar to that of a natal chart but would think specifically in terms of the energies of the specific planet involved. 

You can delineate the Jupiter return every twelve years (approximately) by looking into the planet’s placement in the birth chart and then correlate it (now in transit) exactly to the same degree and minute to the time in the birth chart.

The house position will be the area of life that will bring opportunities, hope, good luck and expansion.  Jupiter brings with it an optimistic approach to the areas of life dictated by the house position.  This will be an area of growth and expansion.  The opportunities for a growth in finances are increased, as well as potential good fortune in personal ways and in the occupation.  Once again, this is all reflective of the house position of Jupiter as well as the aspects Jupiter makes within the birth chart and also the transits it will be receiving during the return period.

Jupiter nearly always promotes growth in some fashion or another; the only catch might be if it is in aspect to Saturn.  Jupiter pushes for expansion, optimism and good luck, while Saturn pushes for structure and discipline.  Saturn is often associated with lessons, delays and shortfalls especially if not enough preparation has been carried out.

There can be expansion problems especially if Jupiter is found in the first house, as weight gain is possible.  Over-optimism and grand expectations can sometimes lead to less than expected results.  Make sure you also have a look at the house Jupiter rules in the birth chart.  The house with Sagittarius on the cusp will also promote all the things that Jupiter offers. 

It is important that you use the energies positively during this cycle as this does not happen often and the general feeling of good fortune can make you sit idle and do nothing with the energies at hand.  Use this time to build for the future but enjoy it while it lasts.  If Jupiter moves into retrograde during the return and crosses its natal position several times, these energies will last longer and will enhance opportunities each time it crosses this particular point in your chart.  With retrograde cycles, there are usually three contacts if the retrograde cycle affects your chart.  The first contact is usually the most powerful, so take advantage of the energies during this time in your life.  Take advantage of these energies regardless if Jupiter goes retrograde or not.

REMAIN DILIGENT

Do you take time for reflection?

Do you push ahead without taking stock?

If you progress seems to be little to none of late, this is not an indicator that you are failing.  It may be an indicator that you need to stop to take stock and reflect.

Do not allow yourself to be dismayed by periods of seemingly none activity.  You are still on track and not being held back.  Persevere during these times and utilize them for reflection.

Many people lose faith or stop believing because they appear to be stalled.  How often are we given a quiet time to rest and prepare for a flurry of activity to come?  Seldom; so take advantage.  Recognize ego’s intervention that stimulates losing faith.  Ego can build doubt within ourselves and in what we are trying to achieve. 

Stay steadfast in your approach.  Do not lose faith.  Believe in yourself and know that the path is always open and ready. 

If you look back to review your recent successes, you will realize that life changed and what once was only a dream has now become reality.  Keep up the great work.  Much lies ahead if you are willing to move forward.

TRANSITING JUPITER OPPOSITION NATAL VENUS

 Transiting Jupiter will be in the sign of Scorpio from October 2017 to November 2018.  As a result anyone with their Venus in Taurus in their birth chart will have transiting Jupiter in opposition to their natal Venus.

Those with their Venus in Taurus often have a love of beauty, romance and are working on building a future that is reflective of material comforts, beautiful things and pleasant surroundings.  Venus in Taurus seeks out love in romantic relationships and Jupiter in the sign of Scorpio can build on this and also add sexual flair to a romantic relationship that is born under this opposition.

This is most often an agreeable transit and often points towards relationships being harmonious, loving and sensual.  They can develop into a deep and personal relationship where often both people are looking for something with true meaning in their lives.  Often times the person with their Venus in Taurus will not be the pursuer; although those with Venus in Taurus are usually quite lovable and romantic in nature.  Oppositions usually imply that things are generated from outside sources, however.  Perhaps someone introduces the two of you or perhaps the relationship is worth pursued because one finds the others very attractive and sensual.  Unless there are other mitigating factors in the chart pointing towards some challenging conditions, a relationship under these influences often has great potential.

If this opposition does suggest a new found relationship or even a relationship already formed, this individual needs to be sure that there is a sufficient amount of freedom available.  There may be a need for open spaces and the need to move about without any bonds, at least it will likely start out this way.  This individual may be looking for a meaningful relationship that provides love, affection and also wants lasting qualities within this relationship yet the other individual may still wants some freedom and would like to wait for the relationship to grow before they become committed to the next level.  There should be freedom in the relationship and each party cannot expect the other to want the exactly same thing, although eventually this can be quite possible.

This combination also often signifies that the finances take a turn for the better.  Opportunities are in place for growth and expansion in the area of finances.  There is only one danger with this positioning; you may be the one who is spending lavishly and not taking into consideration that this feeling of luck and financial growth is perhaps only temporary.  Do not waste your resources.  Take considerable caution when it comes to spending too freely.  There is the feeling that nothing could go wrong and this might often be the case but you will still have to be responsible and realistic.

Many opposition aspects create strife often stemming from other people involved during the transit.  This one, however, because of the energies of these two beneficial planets, under most conditions does not suggest this. 

Use the energies effectively and make sure that both want a committed relationship.  If a relationship is in the making, also ensure that it is not just based on sexual overtones.

TRANSITING JUPITER SQUARE NATAL SUN

Many squares are considered challenging aspects in the Natal (Birth) chart; however, the square from transiting Jupiter to the Sun is not considered a demanding life lesson at all.  Much, however, will depend on your self-control as Jupiter is extreme in it promotion with its energies and its influence can push you to the limit.  Beware of extending yourself too much.  Jupiter expands all that it touches and when connected to the Sun, it brings out your ambitious side. 

Jupiter is currently in the sign of Scorpio and will remain in this sign until November, 2018.  If you have your Sun in the sign of Leo or Aquarius, this square may be influencing you currently.  Much depends on the degree of your Sun as Jupiter will move from 11 degree to the final degree of Scorpio during this period mentioned. 

If your Sun happens to be in the second house, be disciplined with your finances as you will feel free to spend regardless of your financial state of affairs.  Jupiter brings optimism and potential growth during this period and the square provides you with the opportunity to work diligently towards building your financial foundation.  In this house, you may also feel more secure within yourself as you just feel up and ready for anything.  You may feel as though nothing can stand in your way, and this may not be realistic.  Make sure you weigh things out honestly before you plunge into action. 

If your Sun is in the tenth house, for example, this aspect will be reflected in your profession, and you may gain status or perhaps an increase in your pay if you have been pushing for this recently.  Opportunities or rewards for hard work often pay off during this aspect.  Things might come your way even if you have not put forth any great effort.  Jupiter just promotes your ambitions and pushes you forward in your life’s objectives.  If you feel as though you are happy with your current conditions, you may still be offered something of significance as a result of this aspect. 

In most cases, this square provides expansion (unless there are other factors linked to this position in the birth chart through transiting planets or progression planets forming challenging aspects).  You can expect something that promotes you as a result of Jupiter’s energies and this aspect puts you on track.  You may find that what you have been trying to achieve now presents itself fairly easily. 

Ensure you do not let this energy go to your head.  Any kind of arrogance or boisterous self-promotion may not sit well with others.  See this as it is.  This is an opportunity and special time for you.  You will need to be grateful for the potentials coming your way. 

Take advantage of these energies present in your life and recognize that this type of opportunity does not come knocking very often.

WHEN STRUGGLES ARE ABUNDANT

The darkest moment is always just before the dawn. 

Life’s circumstances always rebound and although the course we take is not always the course we had hoped for, our true journey will transform us and teach us the lessons that we need for our future.

Our expectations may have us asking “How long do I have to wait?”

Truly believe that there is nothing in this life that we are not strong enough to or capable of overcoming unless, of course, we give up and allow our attitude to sink below the positive points of our current learning experience.  If we actually want to succeed, giving up, in reality, is not an option.  If we can recognize the constant nagging voice that keeps us in our darkest moments, and know that voice for what it truly is, ego, than we can stop identifying with it and its message.  Recognize it for what it is.

Nothing can hurt us more in life than the relentless ego and people get so lost in its deceitful message.  They believe the message to be true and to be a part of them.  When we allow ourselves to bask in the sorrows of ego’s message, we completely identify with its message and making it our own.  It is then that we become blind and numb to the truth.  We become overwhelmed because we forget how to turn it off and are bombarded with ego’s constant defiling message that drowns hope.

Recognize negativity.  Put ego in its proper place.  Channel your thoughts in a different direction.  No matter how hard, force yourself to see the positive in each and every event you experience.  In the beginning, it will be hard to find that one small positive spark but if you look deep enough, even in the most bleak moments, there is a shred of light.

There will be moments that each of us are faced with life changing decisions.  All change can be difficult if we do not let go of the passed to move into our future.  Our positive decisions can open doors of opportunities unlike that which we have ever know.   It is frightening to release our grip on the past even if the things and people of our past no longer serves us but we do have the strength to let go so that we can reach forward to grasp our future.

Have faith in the process and have faith in yourself.  Know that we are expanding and growing especially during the most uncomfortable circumstances.  Our attitude forms a large portion of our reality.  If we focus on those things that we do not enjoy or like, our life will feel as though it is heavy and stagnant.  If we focus on the blessings and joys in our life, life will feel expansive and joyful.  When we change our attitude, we change our circumstances.  These changes will require action on our part.  If we are positive, we will have faith in ourselves and in the events in our life.

Change is inevitable.  If we fight it, we create discord.  We will survive and be stronger and more resilient after each life lesson.  Stay true to yourself, not your ego.

TRANSITING VENUS CONJUNCT NATAL SUN

Venus, in transit, takes over one year to complete its cycle around the Sun.  It takes approximately 18 months from one retrograde period to the next and its retrograde cycle is approximately 40 days in length. 

Many have Venus conjunct the Sun in their birth chart as it is never more than 48 degrees away from the Sun. 

Venus is a feminine planetary influence and is linked to the sense of touch, material things and love.  It has to do with kindness and politeness and adds a flair for wanting to be around beautiful things. 

When Venus is direct in its motion, its energies want to manifest harmony, peace, beauty and love.  When it is retrograde, its energies are the reverse, often taking on energies similar to that of Mars.  With this retrograde influence, we can becomes more aggressive and the drive may still be towards gaining material abundance although when it is attached to business activities, its influence is often to slow things down or even move into reverse for a while.  Check you chart to see if Venus is in retrograde or direct motion.  This will define how the energies will be released when activated.

Venus when in conjunction to the Sun will only have a lasting influence of about 10 days unless it moves into retrograde.  If this is the case, it can last much longer.  Much will depend on the energies of other planetary influences during the same period that Venus is aspecting your Sun.  This Astrologer only uses the transits of outer planets to natal Venus as the energies are often far too short to make any significant changes to one’s life (when using the energies of the inner planets).  However, Venus’ cycle will still have an impact on what takes place in your life but its influence will be quite short lived.

You will find that the feelings of affection are increased and your sensitivities are also enhanced during this aspect.  You may want more social time with others and you will express yourself in a comfortable manner.  Venus and the Sun usually go together very well and unless there are other mitigating factors making challenging angles to this conjunction, it generally is quite favourable.  You may feel inclined to go out and enjoy yourself, and to look after your own needs.  You may find relaxation in what you enjoy and the challenging conditions in life may be swept away at least for a while. 

Sometimes with this aspect, you will need to make things happen.  Other times, things just seem to flow your way.  Sitting back and waiting for life, however, is never a good idea.  Take life under your wing and have some fun.

You may run into someone that adds meaning to your life at this time.  This applies to both women and men, but Venus usually indicates the female gender.  Women, in general, may be lots of fun to be with now.  This aspect affects both men and women although the women seem to enjoy these energies a little more than men.

Venus is also about creativity and artistic abilities.  You may find that pursuing anything along these lines which can facilitate these abilities may work in your favour.  The energies flow well into these areas and you may find that you enjoy this part of your life more now than ever. 

Starting a new project might be a good idea and make sure that you surround yourself with visual complements that help you settle into things.  Beauty is important and you can create wonderful things during this short stay with the conjunction between Venus and the Sun.
