FULL MOON IN LIBRA - MARCH 31, 2018



As many of us understand, the Full Moon is a time to harvest our efforts set in motion previously (often started with the New Moon in the same sign some six months previous to the Full Moon).  This can be the time when, for example, a relationship can move to the next level.  Perhaps we have met someone during the New Moon phase and now we either find that the relationship moves forward in a positive direction, changes or the relationship is released, and we move on. 

The Full Moon we will experience tomorrow, March 31, 2018, will be in the sign of Libra.  Libra often deals with one-on-one relationships and these relationships are normally romantic in nature.  Libra is always looking to finding someone to share their lives with and many feel as though they are incomplete unless they have someone important in their lives. 

This Full Moon occurs at 10 degrees Libra, so for its energies to have a real impact in your life, you will need to have other planets near the 10-degree mark in your chart.  If you do not have anything near this degree, the energies of this full moon may pass you by with very little impact. 

If your Sun, Moon or Ascendant is near this degree (especially if one of these is also in the same sign) in all likelihood the energies are pointing to a relationship of significance (particularly if you have your DC conjunct a planet at this degree).

Libra is always seeking harmony and peaceful conditions and its wish is to balance life and keep the peace.  This may play into the energies at hand and keeping the peace may be very important. 

If keeping the peace is of importance to you, pay close attention to what it is that you might be giving up to have this all-important peace and harmony in your life.  Balance out the costs.

Transiting Mars and Saturn are conjunct one another and they are both square to this lunar positioning creating a T-square.  (The Sun and Moon are always in opposition with one another when we have a full Moon.)  A T-square often implies that there is a push for and even a need for achievement, but normally the individual will need to find some type of motivational energies to move forward.  With Mars and Saturn together the energies are pushing in two different directions.  One side of this energy wants to forge ahead and the other wants to stop and make sure that things are secure and in place before any action is taken.  The energies of Saturn can cause us to be a little cautious and perhaps this is a good thing, as we would like to be sure that what we plan on doing is appropriate and that we are not acting on impulse. 

The house that Transiting Saturn and Mars are in within our chart will be the focal area for these life events to play out.  Houses are always areas of life and this placement (as long as it is activated) will be the area of life that is highlighted. 

At the same time, Mercury while in its retrograde motion, will be passing over this degree and is in opposition to the Moon or conjunct to the Sun which suggests that this is not a time to make important life changing plans.  It is often best to wait until Mercury goes direct before we move ahead.  It would be more appropriate for this to be a time to review our plans and also make sure that we are doing the right thing.  Ultimately, our harvest should be something that is important to us.  What are your needs?  Taking care of ourselves is not a selfish thing, as long as we are not intentionally hurting others.

This could be a time of rather sensitive energies that we may be experiencing.  Heed the advice of others.  Listen to your intuitive nudges.  Wait (do not jump on impulse) to make that move to ensure you have made all the preparation necessary.  Mistakes because of a lack of patience could be costly, but fear can also hold us back from doing what is necessary. 

Take the time you need and your plans and preparation will have a greater chance of a favourable outcome.

HEALTH, WELLNESS AND OUR LIFE’S CONDITIONING



Often our health and overall wellbeing go hand in hand.  Our overall lack of wellbeing often shows in our health and if we stay in a more stressed or negative mental state for any prolonged length of time, our physical health will suffer because of it.  To maintain good health, it is not only important to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly but to also surround ourselves with people who lift us up emotionally and to eliminate stress in our lives.

Some of us may have to overhaul our belief structures and make changes to where we place our focus of how we see our lives.  Others of us will have to weigh out the true value of what we feel is important in our lives such as our jobs, our relationships and even our lifestyles. 

Some of us may feel trapped by life conditions.  If we remove the fear, are we truly trapped? 

Not all health issues are life style choices.  It is believed that some of us have come into this life with tremendously challenging conditions by spiritual choice.  Some have chronic or incurable physical conditions.  Many individuals that are here to learn from their physical limitations have a wonderful outlook on their lives and we can learn so much from them.  They rarely complain about their lives.  They have accepted their journey and challenges and light the path of many of us. 

I have heard it said time and time again from parent of children who live with mental challenges that their children have taught them much more than they will ever be able to teach their children.  This is certainly something to think about. 

Our mental attitude towards everything in life is the key to the quality of our lives.  It is not always our mental approach that defines the events or circumstances of our lives, but in general, the quality of our lives particularly our health runs parallel with our attitude towards our lives.  That specific piece in our lives, we have control over.  If we are feeling unwell or anxious take a few minutes to see what you might do to help alleviate these conditions.  Make whatever changes you can particularly in connection with your outlook or attitude.  You might be pleasantly surprised at how life seems to turn around.

Do you allow ourselves to be a victim of life or do you push yourself to be student of life?

ARE YOU OBLIGATED TO BE HAPPY?



Are you obliged to be happy and content in life?  Is this a choice you have made?

We always live the life we are meant to live.  There are times and events that challenge us but these challenges do not come with rules or guidelines that state we cannot experience peaceful and contentment during these periods. 

Sporadic changes whether we view them as beneficial or disruptive need not affect us in profound ways for extended periods of time.  We will experience life events, process the information and all the while, we have the choice of whether we hold onto these events or release them.  These are choices that everyone makes every day.  Do we allow ourselves to be victims or do we push ourselves to be students of life?

Giving ego full reign causes unrest and excessive worry.  Ego thrives on finding a place where it can be in control of our responses to life.  Ego portrays itself in such a way that we mistake it as being part of our selves.  Identifying with obstacles and events only has one outcome which is to steal our peace of mind.  Do you experience events or do you own them?

We are human and as humans we experience all emotions.  We do not need to take up residence however, in the house of anger, grief or sadness.  Challenges do not define us; they teach us.  Do not follow ego blindly.  That is not living.

Experience your emotions but do not exist as thought they are a part of you.  In the beginning, it makes this task much easier if once we have processed our emotions, we can refocus our thoughts in a direction of gratitude.  Instead of staying with lessons, once learned, make an intentional effort to recognize the purity of life.  Do not judge it, good or bad.  See each event as a lesson, as a part of life’s unfolding, not as a part of you.  After this recognition, you can simply acknowledge the lesson and appreciate what it has taught. 

Regret, depression, stress will touch our lives at some point but so will happiness, calm and love.  These are emotional experiences that do not define us. 

Does your ego have full reign?  Are you faced with events that are beating you down or are you faced with lessons that help you grow? 

Recognize ego when it tries to exercise its control.  What is currently challenging your positive sense of self and peace of mind?

TRANSITING URANUS TRINE NATAL MARS



The placement of natal Mars in your Astrology chart defines the area of life where you are either applying your energy or what area of life you wish to move forward with.  Much will depend on whether or not Mars’ energies are suppressed in some way or if its energies are allowed their full expression. 

Mars represents our drive and our ambitions to push ahead in life, our ability to move through adversity and our ability to achieve what we set out to do.  If you are naturally a relaxed individual, when Uranus trines your Mars, you may feel an invigorating push to speak your mind, to move ahead with your objectives and perhaps start anew.

Uranus will assist you if your objectives are to start something new or to assist you to moving in a different direction.  A trine between your natal Mars and transiting Uranus would be the time to advance, and you undoubtedly can do this with more confidence than normal.  Because of this confident attitude, you have a greater chance of achieving what you set out to do.  Mars will supply the necessary push and Uranus will offer up opportunities for you to take advantage of.  Perhaps the timing seems appropriate to push ahead and contrary to your normal shy exterior, you feel that you are more capable of achievement.

We are not suggesting that introverted individuals are unable to achieve easily in life as these individuals move ahead with less notice by others.  What they achieve can be as profound but they are quiet about it, while an extrovert will probably share their ideas with others and perhaps demand more attention.  Much will depend, of course, on the overall implications contained in the birth chart.

This transit we are focusing on today can also be related to freedom of expression and the need to be heard.  Those experiencing this aspect may also take interest in what others have to say and try to help them move beyond any type of complacency that they may be experiencing.  It is, however, important to recognize that some individuals do not take kindly to what might be considered interference.  This, however, should not stop anyone from offering their help if this is what is wanted.  Reaching out may be just what the doctor ordered and advice or push may be what is needed.  

Often Uranus will act in unusual ways and in an unexpected manner.  This push may not be expected and this will be as a result of Uranus’ energies.  If we take the time to review what has been taking place in life or if we analyse the area of life that look like they will change, we may find that it has been calling for a change of direction or a new approach for some time now.  Quite often what needs change has been letting us know for some time in some subtle form or another.  If we are not making the appropriate change then Uranus often acts more impulsively and perhaps a little more aggressively.  The trine usually suggests that the transition is easy or more gentle than let’s say the energies of a square or conjunction. 

It might just be time to take steps under the influence of this aspect.  Open the door and maybe just maybe an opportunity awaits those that dare to go beyond traditional habits.  Sometimes something new comes from an action taken that in the beginning may not look overly promising but under the influence of the trine, it is usually what is required.

PLUTO CONJUNCT THE MIDHEAVEN



We thought it necessary to revisit the conjunction with Pluto to the Midheaven.  We will look at how this aspect affects us if and when it is located in the birth chart. 

Pluto on the Midheaven at birth suggests an individual with a powerful presence especially in the working environment.  They will have the ability to transform the working environment not only for themselves but also for those that they either work for or work with.  This position speaks of leadership and the changes that can take place in this person’s life when they transform working conditions and regenerate this area of their life. 

There may be some struggles with personal wills when it comes to moving forward with their objectives but any challenges will facilitate changes required to further the evolutionary of the individual in question.   The actual process would be very deep and would describe changes and transformations on a fairly constant basis.  Any changes that do take place will be of a permanent in nature.  There would be no half measures with this ongoing process as the transformation is usually on a very deep and personal level.  It is also often life altering. 

This is a position of regeneration of the life goals.  This individual would gain recognition for their efforts with uncovering integral internal changes but these changes would usually require some participation from others in the working environment.  These individuals may find that there is some opposition to their efforts by their superiors and the best route to follow is one where the ego stays in the background.  The individuals with this aspect may have an approach which might be quite aggressive and this might also stand in the way of progress, but standing in the shadows is not what these individuals are meant to do.

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

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

When transiting Pluto is residing on the Midheaven, this period speaks of transformation in the working environment.  Depending on the overall conditions in the individuals chart, there would be powerful influences taking place that may involve disruptions and major changes to take place.  There may be disruptions with people in power or authority and difficulties simply based on varying opinions.  The changes that would take place could open doors for new positions of authority and may offer an opportunity to move up the corporate ladder into a management position. 

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

MINI FORECAST FOR SUN IN ARIES (TRANSITING SATURN SQUARE NATAL SUN IN ARIES)



This is a short forecast to the end of 2018 for those with their natal Sun in the sign of Aries. 

The aspect that we are explaining is the square from transiting Saturn to the natal positioning of the Sun in Aries between 1 to9 degrees.  It is important to know that Saturn has an orb of influence of about 5 degrees approaching the direct degree but is the strongest at 2 degrees past direct.  Its energies can be felt up to about 4 degrees past being direct (direct is when transiting Saturn is exactly the same degree as your natal Sun’s positioning).  Saturn is the only planet in transit that has its most profound influence when it is past the direct degree.  All other planets will have their strongest influence when they are precisely direct.

The square between transiting Saturn (in the sign of Capricorn) and the natal Sun (in the sign of Aries) can be challenging.  Saturn has a tendency to test our resilience and its energies want us to work hard to reach our objectives.  Saturn slows things down (as haste makes waste and promotes errors).  It can feel as though Saturn presents us with obstacles to overcome and its energies want us to take the necessary time to prepare for almost anything.  If we decide on moving quickly without the proper forethought and preparatory work, we are likely to fall short of reaching our goal.

If we prepare properly and do not skip any of the prerequisites, the outcome of the job well done will be rewarding. 

Our natal Sun’s energies often speak of our personal objectives and when in aspect, its energies will prompt our ability to push forward with our goals and aspirations.  This can involve our occupation, our schooling and educational pursuits as well as any general plans that we might be trying to implement into our life.

The square from Saturn is quite challenging and as mentioned will prove to supply the necessary lessons required to reach our goals.  Saturn in any aspect can make things feel difficult, never mind the normal influence of a square aspect.  These current objectives may involve personal things, such as relationships of importance especially if the seventh house or Ascendant are involved in your personal chart.  It may also speak in terms of the husband or the father meeting some challenging conditions.  It can speak of our health, our home, our children, our finances, our friends but again much depends on which houses are involved.  The houses in Astrology indicate the areas of life being influenced.  Check which house your natal Sun is located in, the house that Saturn is transiting through as well as the natal location of Saturn in the birth chart.  A delineation of the whole chart should be undertaken before drawing conclusion based on any one aspect.

With the square we are referring to in this post, be sure not to skip any steps along the way.  Expect some delays and obstacles to present themselves and be ready and willing to put forth the energy necessary to succeed.  You may find when taking the appropriate steps, your goals might not only be reached but may even be surpassed. 

Although Saturn’s energies can make experiences feel somewhat difficult when it makes an aspect, it is important to recognize that without challenges in life we would not learn as readily and we would never learn determination, perseverance, persistence and appreciation.

LIFE AND LOVE



We are all one yet individually existing within the framework of our own consciousness always striving to connect with our pure essence.  Our sacred union with source is our overall connection with all that is.  We, ideally, are to live in harmony with all life.

We build on this unity as we mature into ourselves moving ever deeper into our most intimate self.  We are a spiritual connection dwelling momentarily in an earthly vehicle.  We are not our bodies.  We are not our thoughts.  We are eternal energy here, now, learning about our essence from a different angle.  

We join forces with all living things (energy) to coordinate a pure universal love.

Our very essence resonates on an internal level but reveals itself through an ongoing process to those that are ready to recognize it existence.  Remaining open to this recognition allows this awakening and releases us from our bondage to material concerns. It is within our grasp to realize our true objectives and help facilitate the ongoing awakening taking hold in our world.  

We are the facilitators of peace.

If we open our hearts, we can resonate the love that is our very core and by doing so, we awaken the same in others.  We are not segregated or separate from each other.  We all share this reality together regardless of distance and we are molding a future for ourselves and many generations to come.

We are the facilitators and the manufactures of peace and love, regardless of our earthly conditions and what we hear through media and other external influences.  It is not hopeless unless you allow this expression to exist.  We are forever exploring who and what we are.  Be the pioneer you are meant to be.

Our purpose in this life is to move forward regardless of the hurdles we happen upon.  We always push forward in the face of adversity regardless of the conditions we experience.  Live as an example and shine your light to brighten your path and the paths of others.  Recognize your true essence simply by living within its framework and being true to yourself.

Live it; be it and above all else, have faith in yourself and all that is!

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT NATAL SUN (MARCH 2018)



Transiting Uranus is in the final degrees of Aries and although at present (March 2018) this conjunction to the Sun in Aries is nearing the last degrees, it can be applied to anyone with their Sun in Aries regardless of what degree their Sun is in. 

For the purpose of this post, we are reviewing this conjunction for those with their Sun in Aries from about 24 degrees to Aries’ final degree (before Uranus moves into the sign of Taurus on May 16, 2018).  Uranus stays in Taurus until it moves back (goes retrograde) into Aries once again on November 7, 2018.  On March 6, 2019, Uranus will finally move into Taurus again and not return to Aries for about 77 years.

Uranus and the sign of Aries often indicates a time of revolutionary change, and since Uranus stays in the same sign approximately seven years, (total cycle 84 years) it is safe to say that these changes have been apparent for some 7 years now (when looking at the current energies of Aries).  Uranus often speaks of alteration and a new direction.  It often pushes towards something that requires a complete transformation.  The Sun speaks in terms of goals and aspirations.  With this combination, we could surmise that those with this position have had their life goals change direction over this time (depending on what degree their Sun is in Aries).

These goals are often personal in nature, although they could involve occupational goals, as well as internal goals.  Uranus often provides us with the push so that we see that something needs adjustment and often brings to light indicators that a change of direction is required.  In the beginning these indicators can be milder or subtle.  Over time, if we do not push forward with what is being suggested, it can often take the form of a more aggressive shove.  Sometimes the changes indicated can come at us in the extreme if we ignore the energies in the beginning and this new more aggressive assault can come without warning.  Uranus is rather impulsive in its actions although as mentioned it often does give gentle indicators along the way.

If your Sun is closely tied to the Ascendant and in the first house, you would have noticed marked events and changes taking place that probably changed the course of your life to a great degree.  Now, although these changes may have been rather dramatic and even life altering, they are set in motion because life had stagnated and a change of direction is what is being called for.  This could involve your relationship, your occupation, your home and in some cases your grandparent.  The changes were personal in nature and often unexpected.  As mentioned if you didn’t notice the subtle indicators, these changes may feel as though they have come at you from out of the blue, and you may not have been given the chance to adjust to them before they happened.  Perhaps the indicator were subconscious in nature or hidden in some way as these changes would have been associated with the 12th house which refers to, among other things, the hidden matters.

When (and if) Uranus crosses the Ascendant, you may make changes to your personal appearance.  If Jupiter was somehow connected to this aspect, you may have put on weight or if Venus was connected you may have tried to beautify your looks.  You, yourself, if you have this aspect, will have gone through massive personal changes.  As this positioning begins to move out of orb, the changes will be permanently set in place and you will have been altered from what you once were.

It is best not to mess with Uranus as the changes implied by its energies are usually something that is a requirement of the soul.  Often you have little to say with what takes place and it is best to go with the flow and not to fight the process.  Fighting the process only creates difficulty and does not stop the inevitable. 

One thing is almost certain, the changes that take place are called for and a new individual often emerges especially if tied to the Sun and the Ascendant.  In most cases it is exactly what was needed and although it may take some time to adjust to, it will work in your favour in the long run (again this applies to those with transiting Uranus conjunct the Natal Sun in Aries.  Much, of course, depends on your attitude towards life and these events.

PUSH INTO SPRING



Spring is a wonderful time of renewal.  Eventually sprouts begin to push their way through the earth, trees begin to bud, the grass greens, snow switches to rain and flowers bloom. 

This is a time for new beginnings and refreshing that which has gone stagnant.  Our world and our lives shed their wintery veil.  Light shines forth and there is a promise of longer, brighter days. 

Even without the tell tale signs of nature, you know in your heart it is coming.  In more tangible ways you can feel it in the air and smell it in the winds.

Along with this new life springing forth in nature, we experience the ability to have fresh starts in our lives.  This is a time of renewed vigor and an awakening of sorts that draws us nearer to the promise of warmth and sunshine in our hearts and souls.  We can mirror and utilize the energy brought on through the changing of the seasons to stimulate us and push us in our pursuits, new or old.  A new beginning is at hand.  This is a new start and it brings with it the promise of new inner life growing from the seeds we can now plant.

This is the time to renew our motivational skills, to push ahead in our pursuits and find outlets which can help us renew our commitment to ourselves for further growth and evolution.  We may find that we are now more willing to push ahead in our endeavours that we had allowed to slip over the winter.  We may find that this renewed vigor for life propels us into new-found areas that may not have been available before this time.  It is really up to each of us as to what we plan on doing with this energy.

The seasons of Nature can also mirror life’s seasons.  As spring brings new growth, we too can move and grow in new areas of life. 

Take advantage of the energies at hand.  Move ahead into the new.  Reach beyond any limits we may have placed on ourselves now.  The only thing that is holding us back is us.  We are our own motivation or our own stagnation.  Growth and advancement are at hand.  What will you do with the energy?

SUN IN ARIES, late on MARCH 20, 2018



We have just come through the sign of Pisces, a sign which is known for its relatively quiet, meditative, gentle mannerisms and potential spiritual overtones.  We are now entering into the much more aggressive, purposeful and push towards achievements sign of Aries.  This of course is not to say that achievement and purpose is not linked to anyone who has their sun sign in Pisces or any other sign for that matter.  Pisceans have over the centuries offered our world great advancements forwarded, but Aries is a much more “go for it” type of energy.

Aries would like nothing better than a clean slate and an opportunity to reach out into the world to make advancements that will further its own objectives.  These objectives may also be tied to a potential gain for others, but there has to be something attached to this movement forward that will foster a type of personal achievement.  Aries is the go getter of the Zodiac.  Anyone with strong Aries in their Chart is often the first one in and they are not afraid of picking up the pieces if they fall short of their goals.

Arian individuals work best on their own but can use the help of others as long as these Aries individuals have a leading hand in what takes place.  They are leaders rather than followers. 

Their greatest shortfall is that they may move too quickly without taking the time for preparation and because of this will make their fair share of mistakes.  As mentioned, however, they are able to pick up the pieces and begin anew. 

Ask an Aries for their opinion, and they will not only supply you with their advice but will be quite willing to help you walk down that road you are focused on.

Those individuals with strong Aries’ influence are often the first to rush in and are very aggressive in their pursuit.  They feel that they know what is best for them and this is often true.  They will aggressively seek their own path with or without the assistance of others.  Some feel as though they have a “me first” attitude and this might be correct.  They will not carry out their objectives, however at the cost of those less fortunate then themselves.  If this does not come natural, an Aries individual should focus on taking others into consideration, (even if their objectives are pure and focused on helping others) a good rule of thumb is to take a quick review of motives.  Contrary to their beliefs, Aries individuals do not always know what is best for others.  Much of this depends on what sign Mercury is in within their birth chart as well as the house position of the Sun.

Aries is a cardinal and fire sign which indicates a push for action, an aggressive often undisciplined nature and a strong outgoing individual. 

We would do well not to stand in the way of progress or try to stop an Aries individual in their pursuits. 

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and those with the sign of Aries strong in their chart are not afraid of doing battle to get to where they want to go.  They will not give in easily; as a matter of fact, Aries individuals may not give in regardless of the resistance they may face.  They believe in themselves, stand tall in the face of adversity and will push ahead often reaching their objectives in life.

Aries people will have an adventurous spirit. 

Arian individuals make great entrepreneurs because of this lack of fear to take chances.  They understand instinctively that sooner or later they will manifest their dreams.  Very few of these individuals know fear and when dangerous situations occur, they would be the first to jump in and do the heroic acts.  

These individuals are spontaneous and always on the go.  Arian energy seems boundless, and these individuals are very driven.  If you want action, join forces with these individuals.

NEW MOON IN PISCES - MARCH 17, 2018



The New Moon on Saturday, March 17, 2018, will be in the sign of Pisces at 26 degrees.  This degree puts it in the third decant which is a very sensitive and emotional position. 

The New Moon’s energies are ideal for planting seeds for goals that flow easily with the energies of the Piscean Moon.  These goals ideally can be harvested some time down the road (six months is a good harvest time when the Full Moon is in the sign of Pisces).  The energies of this moon related to mysticism and psychic connections (characteristics that come natural for Pisces).  It is also a good time to go deep within to study self and make important self-discoveries so that you can continue your transformations towards a higher level of awareness.

In addition in or around March 23, 2018, Mercury go into retrograde but this reverse motion should not overly affect this New Moon.  Mercury turns retrograde at 17 degrees forming a distant semi-sextile (out of orb but those more individuals who are more sensitive to the energies and will feel this influence) to this lunar positioning.  If, however, you do have other connections to this positioning of Mercury in your chart and you also have connections to this Lunar positioning (allow a 5 degree orb) then perhaps even though New Moons often suggest that it is a good time to begin projects or start something new, it might be advisable that you wait until Mercury goes back to its direct motion on or about April 16, 2018. 

If, however, you do not have Mercury retrograde in your natal chart and you do not have any planets or significant points (Ascendant or Midheaven) close to this degree of Mercury, you can take advantage of the energies at hand to plant your seeds of life.

Transiting Mars is also making a square to this lunar positioning and this combination can suggest strong sexual overtones and sometimes aggressive interaction.  Mars is related to the energy drive and when it makes a square sometimes the energy is inhibited or stifled in some way when it really needs some release.  If you can find creative ways of releasing this energy and push yourself through any adversity that might occur under this square, you should be capable of making great strides in the proper direction.  Remember, however, that there can be powerful emotional ties to this configuration.  The emotions may be strong and unusually difficult to handle.  Use the tools at hand.

At the same time, we have a trine to Jupiter to the lunar positioning in Pisces.  Jupiter always suggests growth and expansion and often produces opportunities and good luck in reaching your objectives.  Jupiter is moving through its retrograde cycle and this suggested that the normal energies of Jupiter are not as enhanced as they would be if it were moving in a direct motion.  Jupiter often helps with situations even when in retrograde motion, however.  Some say that it works in similar fashion to the energies of Saturn when in retrograde which may stimulate you to pursue whatever you are trying to implement with more vigour than you would under different conditions.  You may find that there are some challenges to overcome and obstacles in the way of the project, whatever they might be.  Progress may seem to be slow but that does not mean that you will not meet your target.

Regardless of what energies are in place, you should always follow your dreams.  Without the focus and commitment needed from you, your dreams never have the potential to unfold. 

All the best in creating a wonderful “life garden” which offers a bountiful harvest.

OUR WALK OF LIFE



We are continually awakening to the mysteries that this magnificent journey reveals.  Life is a magical experience, and it is perfectly normal to be in awe as this mystery exposes its wonders.  Some feel the oncoming energies and others lie in wait of what is next, but either way, it is always a blessing to learn the lessons even the more tense ones.

The experience gained through what we define as adversity and through what we accept as serene both enlightenment us.  We can venture forth with little expectation or knowledge of what will unfold.  We live our lives in the moment hopefully aware and appreciative of its splendor and are filled with excitement. 

Does this sound a little over-reactive to you?  Not at all!

When we refocus our attention on the experience without judgement, we see the magic unfold.  These moments that we share with those we love and with those we sometimes find less than desirable to be with are valuable experiences. 

As we move ever closer to our own awakening, we know that nothing is by chance.  Coincidence is a word only for those who are indifferent and who have failed to see the value in an experience.   Nothing is by coincidence. 

We can recognizing our own uniqueness yet accept that we share our lives and our connection with the whole. 

Do not struggle to avoid your life’s lessons (perceived good or bad) – Without them what is our purpose? 

Explore your full potential. 

You are spirit in physical form.  Walk your journey open to all of its lessons.  This is YOURS to experience and share.

PREDICTIVE TOOLS AND TIMERS IN ASTROLOGY



You can never over study the basics of Astrology.  The basics are the foundation of any Astrological practice and the better you understand these fundamentals, the easier it will be when you begin predictive work.

There are different techniques used when deciphering a natal chart and when predicting the energies for the future.  There are numerous types of charts prepared by Astrologers to define the energies for the future (forecasting).  The main two chart types used by most Western Astrologers are “Transits and Progressions” as well as the “Solar Return Chart”.  These two types of charts give the overall picture of how a person’s life is and can unfolding.  These charts can be commissioned for any specific period in time (future or past).

Transits are the current movement of planets through the natal chart.  During the transiting planets movement they will make aspects (angles) to the planets and angles in the natal (birth) chart which activate the potentials that are highlighted in the natal chart.  The outer planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) move slowly and therefore will have a profound effect on the birth chart planets and angle’s positions and their unfolding potential energies.  Uranus, Neptune and Pluto while in retrograde motion (the appearance of the planets moving backwards) can have up to a three year effect.  Their energies will strengthen as they approach the direct positioning (exact same degree as the natal planets).  The impact of these planets will have a lasting effect on our psyche and also create profound impacts in our lives.

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter) move much more quickly and therefore their influence is somewhat fleeting.  However when one of these planets go retrograde during its pass over one of our natal planets or points, the influence will be greater than if it were only in direct motion. 

The transiting Sun, Mars and Uranus can be used to calculate accurate timing, when they set off an already active aspect between an outer planet in transit and a natal planet or point.  Uranus can sometimes be used in pinpointing timing on the exact day when it transits over the natal position.

Progressions also have a profound effect on us, particularly from an internal perspective.  The progressed Sun and the progressed Moon do have powerful impacts and can also be used to evaluate an upcoming event.  The progressed Moon can also be used as a timing device.

Astrology charts can be prepared to determine the areas of life that will be affected, what types of energy will be activated, the duration of the event, the best ways to deal with these energies and whether they are working favourably or may be more challenging. 

It should always be noted, however, that all aspects regardless of our opinion of them (challenging or favourable) can be used constructively and will inspire growth, understanding and life lessons that will be carried forward and which will benefit the individual involved.
