INNER PLANETS IN TRANSIT

When we refer to the transits of the inner planets, this would include the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars.  These planets and the Sun’s influence are often of minor significance as these pass quickly through the heavens and their energies are short lived.  An inner planet moving in direct motion (without retreating in its retrograde cycle) can have an effect for as long as there are other factors making connection to it at the same time which can be maybe eight days.  Mars and Venus specifically can last as much as 6-8 days depending on the orb of influence we allow as Astrologers. 

In general, although transits from the more influential outer planets can be felt for up to 5-7 degrees approaching, some people are even sensitive to their influence before the 7 degrees approach.  The energies are in force as much as 2-3 degrees when the energies are separating.  The orbs are about the same or a little less with inner planetary transits.  Mercury, Venus and Mars move approximately one degree per day as well as the Sun which moves roughly one degree and one minute each day. 

The Sun and Mars, however, are often used as timers in Astrology and can set off an outer planetary transit while in orb which can be quite impacting.  (The progressed Moon and especially transiting Uranus also speak of timing of events.) 

I personally knew someone who had transiting Pluto in opposition to natal Uranus which was in the seventh house and at the same time they had transiting Mars directly in conjunction with Pluto which were also conjunct their natal Mercury.  This individual experienced the death of someone very close to them.  Proof that transiting Mars played a big part in this unfolding story. 

Mercury on its own will have little impact while in transit as it needs to pick up energies from other planets in the chart to even be felt.  Venus and Mars have a stronger influence, particularly Mars, although they are more noticeable when they are making a conjunction, square or opposition to a planet or angle in the birth chart.

RELIABILITY

Are you reliable? 

Is reliability important?

Call me old fashioned but I believe that when someone tells me something, I should be able to count on them to follow through on their word.  If what we want to promise to someone else is not guaranteed we should hold off on telling them.  We should be responsible for not only our actions but our word as well.

 

Not only should we take our commitment to others seriously, we certainly need to take our commitment to ourselves just as seriously.  If we can’t depend on ourselves, who can we rely on? Making a commitment is the same as a promise and I cannot help but remember a book we use to ready to our children and then our grandchildren, “A Promise is a Promise” by Robert Munsch.

In following through, we strengthen not only our commitments and obligations but we build self esteem and pride in ourselves.  We become reliable, most importantly to ourselves. 

Do you remember someone making a commitment to you and then not following through?  This can not only be very disappointing but can be very disruptive if the broken commitment formed part of a larger plan! 

Build self-respect and self- esteem through your commitments.   Honour yourself and honour others.

UNASPECTED PLANET IN A NATAL CHART

In most natal charts, each planet makes aspects to other planets or to the angles in the chart.  When we speak in terms of aspected or unaspected planets, we are referring to the natal planets and not the transiting or progressed planets. 

An unaspected planet in the natal chart is a planet which receives no aspects from any other planets and is not aspecting any of the angles either (ASC,DC, MC or IC).  This lonely planet does not mix with the rest of the chart and operates totally on its own energies.

This is such a rare occurrence, we could not find an example.

When deciphering the influence of a planet that has no aspects and is giving no aspects, it is important to note that it can operate in two different ways.  It may express its energies in a dynamic manner without any other mitigating factors due to its unaided nature.  It is important to look at the planet, its house position and the sign it is in as these combined represent its expression.  Nothing about its energies is hidden or concealed and it has full expression.  In contrast, the energies of the planet in question may remain dormant and do not express themselves at all.

For example, those with Mercury unaspected in the natal chart may have a challenging time when it comes to communication or self-expression.  This may be particularly so if for example Mercury was in the sign Capricorn and in the twelfth house, although this individual might find expression through self-exploration or mystical pursuits; a thorough study of these pursuits and a very realistic approach would be necessary however. 

If Venus were unaspected, then the expression of love may be cut off, or in contrast they may seek out love as an expression that is most valid to whom they are.

In general people who have an unaspected planet in the natal chart will have to assert a lot of vigor getting the energy force and expression of that planet out into the open.  This is not an easy quest although during times of a strong transit or when they meet an overly assertive person, who seem to have the missing qualities that are stifled in the chart individual, they can move forward into a greater degree of self-expression.  This would not come without challenging the situation, however, and making a strong effort to achieve what they set out to do.  It would not come easy.

DOORS

There can be many twists and turns in our life’s journey.  We venture forth with great enthusiasm and with this enthusiasm we can push through adversity and challenging conditions as we strive for knowledge and more. 

We will occasionally find ourselves confronted with a situation that appears to be insurmountable but with patience and an open mind we will find that a will door open where previously none existed.

These new doors are often found when we have reached our wits-end and simply let go.  We have finally released and out of nowhere there is a new opportunity…..apparently materializing out of nowhere, the perfect resolution is presented. 

Through release these opportunities appear.  We push until there is nothing more to do; we let go and finally allow our pure life force to take control (sometimes without conscious understanding of this).

There is always a doorway waiting to be found and sometimes we are so busy and focused on looking for it, we cannot see it. 

Searching and wanting implies that we are without and are lacking in life.  This energy attracts more doing without and lacking.  Remember, our focus is the key and we only get what we are focused on.

Opening the door by “letting go” and “letting life” seems far too simple.  As a result, rarely do many of us take that route.  We always think that acceptance is giving up.  Allowing is not giving up or giving in.  It is knowing that there is an energy much greater than that of an earth-bound individual stuck in their mental mind.  Letting go and having faith allows our higher energies to flow.

Stop fighting the process.  Release your anxiety and worry.  Life always goes as it should, even when it seems as though it isn’t.  You will always be presented with the right door and it will open if you just allow it to.  Let this door reveal itself and simply be.

MOST ASPECTED PLANET IN AN ASTROLOGY CHART

When we review a natal chart it is important to consider a planet which has at least 5 or 6 major aspects linked to it.  This planet is strengthened or exaggerated in its expression due to all these connections.  It is important to see which houses are interconnected to this planet as well as the house that it is found in.  The house that this most aspected planet is located in will not be the main reference area of life.  The energies are released from this house and the other areas of life represented by the houses the other planets are found in will find emphasized expression due to the most aspected planet’s influence.  The house the most aspected planet rules is important as well, but the flow of all these other energies add intensity and can be used to help with the definition of the release of energies into the other areas of life involved.

Not only are the houses representative of the flow of energies, we must also includes the angles in the chart, especially the Ascendant and the Midheaven.  If, for example, the Sun was conjunct the MC by a very tight aspect, its energies of drive and ambition would be linked to moving ahead within the occupation or career.  If Saturn were also in close opposition to this placement then there might be challenges from other individual with moving forward or obstacles standing in the way of progress.  Things might be delayed or we might expect more duties and responsibilities as we move towards the objectives set in place within our occupation.  Some of the challenges experienced might be linked to family and our roots if Saturn was found in the fourth house (with our example).

Going one step further let’s say that Jupiter and Venus were conjunct in the sixth house and made trines to this position of the Sun linked to the MC.  This would help with the situation and may suggest that the working conditions and co-workers would help facilitate growth and good fortune with the plans or push that might be associated with our occupation. 

Taking it one step further let’s say that Uranus was in square to this elevated position of the Sun with the MC.  Uranus would certainly add to the unique potential of this positioning and might bring opportunities in unexpected manners, but would cause us to work towards positive results.  Uranus might make us appear to be somewhat of a bohemian in our approach or push us into fields associated with electronics or scientific avenues.  Uranus would certainly require that we push for something unique and perhaps unusual or make us approach this occupational direction from a different point of view. 

Going one step further if Mercury was involved adding a sextile to the Sun/MC position, our mind would be well equipped and we might have an advantage because of our ability to understand detail or make clear decisions that would affect our career and working potential.  Mercury might also figure into the equation, making a sextile to the Jupiter/Venus conjunction in the sixth house, providing analysis and the ability to delineate any problems within the working environment.

As you can see this whole process would certainly add to the flavour of our initial Sun/MC conjunction.  All of these aspects will add insight and energies when we look deeper at this initial conjunction and also make this positioning very important in the Astrology chart.

FULL MOON - AUGUST 26 2018

This will be a busy Full Moon cycle lasting approximately one month; it begins on August 26, 2018 at 7:58 a.m. EDT.  The Full Moon will be in the sign of Pisces at 3 degrees. 

This Full Moon placement will forms a Yod pattern with the focal point being the transiting North Node.  The Sun is also part of a Grand Earth Trine with Saturn and Uranus and the Moon will be the focal point of a kite formation, making sextiles to Uranus and Saturn.  I know ..a lot of Astrology mumbo-jumbo but many of my Astrology students will understand this.

A Full Moon often speaks of a culmination of events predating this period.  This is a time to harvest the seeds we planted earlier in the garden of life.  This Astrologer has found that it often speaks of what was “planted” when we experienced the New Moon in the same sign, some six months ago.  In this case, it would have been the new Moon in Pisces (March 17, 2018).  The Full Moon is the time when we should review what we put in motion at that time and either forge ahead further with these goals or let go and release what will not work. 

Pisces may deal with mystical undertakings, or taking care of someone who needs our assistance, as Pisces often produces a savior energy.  Much will now depend on if you have any planet (particularly by conjunction, square or opposition) to this 3 degrees of Pisces.

Yods often speak of turning points in life.  Under the influence of a Yod we have to carry out a mental evaluation and make an adjustment.  This may first appear as a fated turn of events and we learn something valuable from previous experiences.  Ultimately, the Yod energies can lead to spiritual awareness. 

Saturn can speak of serious confrontations sometimes with others but often with our self.  This can be a time of re-evaluation of life plans from an emotional perspective due to the influence of the Moon and the North Node.  We are often pointed in the direction that is best for us at this time and can sometimes be brought on through someone coming into our life and helping us along the way.  Saturn wants to formulate a plan of direction that will, over time, create a solid foundation and the Moon often speaks of a change of direction and always adds a certain amount of emotional flair to any situation.  The North Node is our path to follow in life.

The Grand Earth Trine suggests that opportunities are at hand with earthly matters.  This could relate to business opportunities, favorable conditions within the working environment, and/or prospects for advancement in a material sense.  The problem with a Grand Trines is that sometimes they lack motivation.  Things seem extremely easy and we tend to put little effort into anything.  What the Moon does in the kite formation is provide the necessary push to forge ahead and it helps us to push a little towards these opportunities.  Grand Trines can stagnate things while Kites push for advancement in the element of the Grand Trine.

This seems like a good time to make personal changes, to move ahead with any material plans that you have been working on and to make spiritual progress while maneuvering through life events.  Take advantage of these energies as there are many opportunities at hand.  This combination does not happen often.

LIFE AND LOVE

We are individual and yet one, co-existing within the framework of our consciousness, and always reaching to reconnect with our pure essence.   If we are all connected, should we not do our utmost to live in harmony with all living things?

As we mature into ourselves and reach further for our ultimate “being”, we build on this unity with the whole.  We are a spiritual energy dwelling momentarily in an earthly vehicle.  We are not our bodies.  We are not our thoughts.  We are eternal energy. 

We explore to learn.  We are linked to coordinate a universal, pure love.

Our essence also resonates on an internal level but reveals its self through an ongoing process only to those that are ready to experience its existence.  Remaining open to this eventual awakening, releases our bondage to the main focus of material concerns.  It is within our grasp to realize our true “being” and to help facilitate the ongoing awakening that is taking hold in our world.  We are the facilitators of peace; we are the facilitators of love.

We can open our hearts and radiate the love that is our core.  By doing so, we awaken the same in others.  We are not segregated or separate from each other.  We all share this life regardless of distance and we are molding a future for the next generation.

We are the facilitators and the manufactures of peace and love, regardless of our earth’s condition and what we experience through media and other external influences.  It is not hopeless unless you allow this expression to exist.  These are the early days of an evolution.  You are the pioneer.

Our purpose in this life is to keep the process moving forward regardless of obstruction and challenges that lie before us.  We push forward even in the face of adversity and regardless of the current conditions that exist.  These actually push us to work harder.

Live as an example and be the light for others.  Find your true essence simply by living through love. 

You are the light.  We are the light.  This is our essence and our purpose.  Live it; be it and above all else, believe!

SUN IN VIRGO, 2018

The Sun moves into the meticulous earth sign Virgo just before midnight (EDT) on August 23, 2018. 

Virgo is focused on duty and responsibility as well as service rendered.  Virgos wants to do things just right, have a ridged routine, are disciplined in their actions and seeks to improve on things.  Virgo enjoys order and needs things to be in their proper place. 

Ask a Virgo for their help and they will make sure that you get all the details, move along with a sense of direction and find a resolution to any problems by solving them in a methodical and structured manner.

Those with their Sun in the early degree of Virgo will be experiencing the transit of Saturn which is in Capricorn at two degrees (August 24).  Saturn will be making a trine to their Sun.  If you have your Sun in Virgo at approximately five degrees, you will experience this trine right to the end of 2018.  This trine will assist you in earth type matters, such as getting your bills in order, correcting any obstructions in the working environment and correlating any business material that needs to be put in order. 

You may find under this influence that you can work well within the organization and may even get recognition for your hard work and disciplined action.  The houses where Saturn and your Sun are located in will play a big part in defining what areas of life will be affected.  Use this time to get things in order.

Those with their Sun in the mid-teens to early 20 degree mark of Virgo in their birth chart will have the transit of Pluto which will be in Capricorn and making a trine to their Sun throughout the rest of 2018, all of 2019 and beyond.  This is a long transit.  Pluto’s energies want us to go below the surface and to bring anything that needs to surface out where it can be dealt with accordingly.  Pluto is sometimes affiliated with the shadow side of things and will transform and regenerate that which needs to be changed or transformed.  This could include fears that have been ignored or pushed aside for one reason or another.  They will now under this influence be dealt with in a serious manner.  These issues should be faced and then basically let go of in order for something new to take their place in a more positive and reaffirming manner.  Pluto tears things down so that things can be rebuilt.  Some things will perish if this is what is called for. 

Take a look at the house positions of transiting Pluto and your natal Sun to see which areas of life are being rebuilt and converted into something more appropriate for what is required at this time.  Anything that needs to be torn down or repaired will not escape the energies of Pluto.  Virgo will make sure things are done correctly and no steps will be skipped.

Enjoy these energies.  Acknowledge that these changes are beneficial, although they may not be simple.  Life as you know it will most likely be transformed significantly and restructured in such a way that after the process has passed by, an ending of sorts will have taken place if Pluto is involved and life will be more structured and solidified if Saturn is involved. 

Things will not look the same as they were but as you settle into the changes that take place, you will find that they were all positive although possibility challenging (depends how hard you resist).  Perhaps you will fight your way through these challenges or perhaps you may allow the events to unfold and you will enjoy the ride; however you handle therse energies, you will adapt to what is slowly manifesting.

WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?

Specific monetary and material goals can become a fixation for some people.  They strive to monetarily achieve and often can become obsessive and relentless in their pursuit.  Material abundance or financial success becomes their sole objective and some individuals will stop short of nothing to achieve what they set out to do.

Financial security is not wrong or evil as some would want us to believe.  We currently do live a material existence and comfort and enjoyment are all part of this experience.  Unfortunately, for many financial rewards and positions of power only serve to pad their feelings of superiority and accomplishment. 

For many there is an excitement of accomplishing these material goals but an unhealthy relationship with money can lead us to believe that the more money provides happiness but far too often the financial rewards of “happiness” are short lived as are the feelings of security for some.  Nothing seems to satisfy the hunger for more and they are never satisfied for long.  This is when the drive for security becomes an obsession.

We can have a healthy relationship with money but for those who become obsessed, material success often comes with a steep price, (often at the expense of family relationships and the ability to truly live for anything other than increasing the bottom line). 

For those that have climbed the corporate latter, and when the time comes to retire, do they lose their identity and purpose?  Are their efforts soon forgotten by the corporation?  Does it matter?

During the accent of the corporate latter, many have mentioned a period of when nothing seems to satisfy them and an empty void was experienced that nothing in their lives seemed to fulfill.  This can be a lonely and empty place where gratification and happiness just cannot be found.  Perhaps this is when we begin to realize that material gain just isn’t enough.  We begin to look beyond this focus.  We begin to realize that happiness cannot be purchased.  We realize that happiness is an attitude.  We begin to realize that we can work towards security but we cannot make this effort the sole purpose of living. 

We certainly live in a material world and have come into this life to learn from each lessons we experience here.  Find security in whatever form it is representative to you. 

Be sure that your goals include the ability to feed your hunger to experience, to grow, to love, to be truly happy.

PLANET IN ITS OWN HOUSE

A planet in its own house such as Jupiter in the ninth house, (the ninth house is naturally ruled by Jupiter), is almost as strong as having a planet in its natural sign, such as Jupiter in Sagittarius.  A planet is at home in its natural house position and its energies are comfortable and expressed well there.  Of course, the aspects have an influence on this but if the aspects are more positive or easy flowing ones then the energies will be easily released.

It is important to take into consideration the house a planet is located in as this helps to define how the energies will be released and expresses what areas of is involved.  Having a planet in its own sign and also in its natural house position (Jupiter in Sagittarius and found in the 9^th house) will be very strong and the energies of Jupiter (expansion, good fortune, optimism and favorable outcomes) would have great opportunities to be released in a positive manner when a transiting planet makes an aspect to this placement and energizes the natal potential. 

The energies of the transiting planet as well as the aspects it makes will of course have to be explored; however, even when a challenging aspect or difficult planetary energy makes contact to the planet, the potential for a positive outcome is very high.

Having the Sun in Leo, for example, in the fifth house, would suggest that this individual is very self-expressive, probably has abilities either in the performing arts or through their creative expression and would undoubtedly have the best interests of others in mind, especially their children and lover.  The ability to move ahead in their endeavours and the opportunity to reach their goals would be enhanced. 

If, for example, Saturn was in square to this position (in our example) and in the second house, this individual would probably have to work a little harder at reaching these objectives, but would still likely reach these goals, and in turn potentially creating more inner stability and potential of making a good earn as well.  Their creative expression would be enhanced and they would easily sell themselves to others in a favourable manner.

Do you have planets in their natural house placement in your Astrology chart?

SOUL OR FINAL DISPOSITOR PATTERN

The final Dispositor in Astrology is basically the chain of command. One planet, sometimes two planets, rules the chart. If there is a planet in its own sign, for example, Saturn in Capricorn, it becomes the final Dispositor or chief in command.

The Dispositor pattern is determined by the planets in the signs. For example, start with the Ascendant and for this example, we will use Sagittarius as the rising sign (Ascendant). With this example (Sagittarius as the rising sign), the rising sign or Ascendant is ruled by Jupiter (the natural ruler of Sagittarius), Jupiter is in Aries and so Aries natural ruler is Mars. Mars is in Scorpio and Scorpio is naturally ruled by Pluto. Pluto is in the sign of Leo and Leo rules the Sun. The Sun is in Aquarius and Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. Uranus is in the sign of Cancer and Cancer is ruled by the Moon and the Moon is ruled by Scorpio bringing the ruler back to Pluto.  In this situation so far Pluto (which is in Scorpio is in its natural rulership) is the Soul Dispositor.

We have not yet touched on Venus which is in Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter and Jupiter is in Aries ruled by Mars. We have already followed that route which brought us to Pluto.

We have not touched on Saturn which is in Libra ruled by Venus which is ruled by Sagittarius going back again to Jupiter and following that same route to Pluto.

We have not touched on Neptune which is ruled by Venus and Venus is in Sagittarius bring us back to Jupiter and ending that cycle to Pluto.  As you can see, Pluto is the common denominator and will be the final Dispositor in our example.

If we used another example such as Saturn is in Libra and Venus is in Capricorn these planets are in mutual reception (Libra rules Venus and Saturn rules Capricorn).   These two planets will be very significant in the person’s life. Having these two planets in each other’s signs stop the chain of command and makes them both very significant in the chart.

If planets are in their own sign in a chart, for example Saturn in Capricorn, the examination goes no further and this becomes the final Dispositor. Sometimes there are two interplanetary links that constantly come to the forefront.  In this case, both of these planets are extremely important in the birth chart and together they share the rulership of the Astrology chart.

The ruler of the Ascendant is also been called the ruler of the chart, and its planetary ruler is of extreme importance as well.  For example, Sagittarius as an ascendant will make Jupiter extremely important in the life of this individual.  

If Libra were the rising sign, then Venus would be very important for this individual.  

Remember that the ascendant sign is how we relate to the world.  It is our outside expression and the individual with Libra rising would then be very social, very pleasing to meet, would seek harmony and balance in their life and would resonate in this way to those that they meet especially during their initial contact.

The final Dispositor is the planet which other planets depend on and this planet will have a profound effect in the individual’s life.  In the example we used at the start of this post, Pluto will play a prominent role in the unfolding of this individual but so will Mars as the co-ruler.  Jupiter in Aries will also play a significant role in this individual’s unfolding.  As a result, these two planetary links provide the needed stimulus to propel this individual forward in reaching their life’s objectives.

Follow your chain of command and see which planet or planets affect you in a direct and creative manner.  This will be the driving force and motivating factor in your life.

The final Dispositor pattern is known as the Dispositor Tree.

WHAT ARE YOUR TRUE COLOURS

Do you adjust your face to the world to fit what you think is expected of you by others in any given situation?

Are you comfortable with a chameleon type lifestyle? 

Are you comfortable showing your own true colours? 

The human race has flourished due to its ability to adapt.  We all adapt to our life conditions to survive.  To feel that it is necessary to adapt our persona to different situations in life, however, is unrelated to our physical survival.  This only serves to please others.  Through experience and self preservations many of us have learned that the only way we can feel perfect in our own skin is to wear it with confidence and pride.  After all, the best person we can be is the exact person we truly are. 

If you disapprove of a characteristic, you don’t have to own it.  See it for what it is and then let it go.  It does not define you.  The energy of love within is the true energy of self.  All the rest are only learned characteristics. 

Let your true colours shine through (just as Cyndi Lauper once sang).  Be yourself.  You surely will be happy and comfortable with the outcome. 

Your life becomes a reflection of your thoughts and focus.  Encourage growth; focus on the positive, be grateful and be genuine to yourself!

TIGHT ASPECTS IN ASTROLOGY - PROGRESSIONS

We are continuing our look at tight aspects in Astrology from August 8, 2018 (Natal aspects) and August 13, 2018 (Transit’s aspects).  Today, we are winding up our look as tight aspects by focusing on progressions.

We reiterate that when deciphering a chart whether this chart is a natal chart, a transit, a progression, a solar, a composite or any type of chart for that matter, it is important to consider specific points of interest.  The planets or significant points (Ascendant, Midheaven and to a lesser degree the IC and DC) closely joined to one another by aspect are points of interest and should be noteworthy. 

When it comes to progressions the unfolding of events is quite similar to transits, although many progressed aspects often come from an internal perspective and may not actually manifest in the external world.

 

The progressed Sun has an orb of influence of three degrees, one and a half degrees approaching and one and a half degrees separating.  This means that its impact will last approximately three years.   Its most powerful influence is when it is within thirty minutes of being direct and the closer to being direct the stronger its energies will be. 

The progressed Moon has a three degree influence as well, one degree approaching, one degree direct which is the peak energy and one degree separating.  The progressed Moon moves one degree each month while the progressed Sun moves one degree each year.  As a result the progressed Moon will be in effect for a total of 3 months.

As mentioned in our earlier post, the transits of the Sun, Mars and Uranus act as timers.  This also applies to the progressed Moon.  These luminaries and planets will help initiate events when transits are in place.  Many transits (an example might be transiting Pluto squaring natal Venus still off by half a degree of being direct) can be set off by as much as half a degree before being direct by these transits.

In comparison, when deciphering a progressed aspect to the natal positioning, many Astrologers use a 12 to 15 minute approach to being direct.  This is due to the slow movement of the progressions, particularly the outer progressed planets.  I would suggest that you only take in to consideration a five minute angle when speaking in terms of the outer planets in progressions. (Outer planets being Saturn through Pluto)

A natal aspect becoming direct using progressions and the exact timing when it becomes direct either moving from retrograde to direct or direct to retrograde over the precise position in the birth chart is also very important.  Remember to take into consideration that one day in the progressed chart equals one year of actual time.  The natal potential can unfold during these times. 

An example of this might be a natal sextile becoming direct with Neptune and Pluto having a profound effect in the month or several months leading up to when if forms an exact sextile.  It might be out by as much as 2 degrees in the birth chart but when it becomes direct through progression it is emphasized and can have profound effects.

There are many multi layers that must be examined when translating the story an Astrology chart is telling.  What we have touched on in these three posts on aspects is only scraping the surface.

INTUITION

Intuitive guidance can be utilized at any time if you are open to the message.  It has no prerequisite.  Intuition could be called the voice, the seeing, the smell, the touching, the tasting, the understanding of the unconscious.  In most cases it is subtle but in some cases it speaks clearly and concisely.  These are the times we cannot question its validity.

Intuition can come as a warning, can contain needed information and can be counted on.  It provides insight when you cannot find the answers with our rational mind.  It is available when you need it most if we quiet the babbling mind.  Intuition is a profound tool at our disposal, although it is rarely forceful.  We can utilize the information (in whatever form) that comes to us or we can allow is to pass us by.  It is a choice.

The mind will continually question information obtained intuitively.  It will question its validity most always.  We will instinctively know or feel that the information we receive is truth.  Our gut will tell us so.  Sometimes we can be so wrapped up in events that the information go by with little notice and we will recall, after the event is over.  It is then that we wish we had listened to that “hunch”. 

When the situation is dangerous, intuition can be anything but subtle.  The message can be very pronounced.  The more you pay attention to your intuition, the clearer the messages will become and the easier it is to recognize their importance.

Let your intuitive insight be your guiding. Recognizing that it stems from your higher self, and it can always be relied upon. 

Intuition is your guiding companion.
