FULL MOON OCTOBER 1, 2020

On October 1, 2020 at 5:05 p.m. EDT, we will be experiencing a Full Moon in the sign of Aries at 9 degrees.  This full moon is known as the Harvest Moon.

 

The Aries Full Moon energies are the culmination of events since planting our seeds of life some 6 months ago when the New Moon was in the sign of Aries.  Those that started a plan of action and used the energies available over this period for a project or change in direction will reap the fruits of their efforts. 

 

Aries would have insisted that you take action and that you neither were led by someone else nor did you fostered a plan set out by someone else.  Aries is about action and the need to take control and be the first one to initiate whatever it is that should take place.  Aries will not sit back and do nothing, and you were to push ahead with these plans and work towards achievement.  You may have been very busy and perhaps even too aggressive in your pursuit, but the harder you tried since the New Moon in Aries, the greater the harvest now.  You may even have made a couple of mistakes along the way but most likely you were able to get right back up and start again.  No halfway measures should have been part of your objectives.

 

These plans likely involved you in a personal way and you had to do it your way.  This is not to say that your plans were egotistically enveloped, but that you knew you had to make things happen and the results would be a direct result of your efforts.  The New Moon would have been in Aries as mentioned some six months ago but there would have had to be some type of connections in your natal chart to activate this energy.  The same goes for now under this Full Moon energy.  If you have planets in and around 9 degrees Aries or in square or opposition to this degree or you have the more easy flowing aspects of the trine and sextile to this degree, the opportunities are available to you.  You can use an orb of 3 degrees.  Be sure to check the houses involved in your chart as these will provide you with further information about the area of life involved back then and how this is unfolding now.

 

On the Full Moon (October 1, 2020) Chiron is making a conjunction to the Moon’s placement.  Conjunctions bring an emphasis to the area of life involved in the equation.  Chiron speaks of the need for healing on some level.  Have some respect for the road you have walked and how hard you had to work to get to where you are now.  If things do not look the way you wish they were then recognize that you did your best and sometimes life dictates.  There are lessons in place of value.  Whatever needs healing now is ready for you to take note.  Perhaps it is time to leave a situation or begin anew.  The definition at hand is found in the aspects and house placements involved in your personal chart.

 

There is also a tight semi-sextile to Uranus at this time and because this is considered a minor aspect, it has to be tight, within one degree of being exact which it is.  Uranus is about breaking free of any restrictions that are holding you back and to start moving in a new direction.  Uranus’ action can be quite unpredictable and sudden in action, and along with Aries, the sudden and quick part of the process would make a lot of sense.  Jumping into something is not always a good idea but if you have had time to think things over now might be the time to move ahead with your plans.  The semi-sextiles suggests that you are in the right place at the right time.

 

Use the energies available to you.

YOUNG AND LEARNING

 Physically, you can exercise, eat properly, have regular checkups and in general look after yourself, but will this keep you young? 

 

Is being young a state of the body or does it have to do with your state of mind?  You have heard or experienced how some very young individuals seem to be old souls and appear much too wise for their years.  Does that make them old? 

 

Is knowledge and our ingrained, inherited mental attitude in any way relate to our aging process? 

 

Most young children play and enjoy their lives.  They live in the moment.  This might be considered youth or even line up with being young.  They have few cares but when they have one, they can become obsessed within that moment.  However as soon as they move away from it by altering their focus, the issue is often gone forever or holds little relevance as they continue to live. 

 

Is this considered being young or a youthful thing to do?  No….this is something each and every one of us can do. 

 

Staying forever young certainly comes from our focus, and living in the moment.  Allowing ourselves to have fun is essential.

 

Children enjoy the moment and live within it, experiencing whatever is within that specific moment.  We as adults tend to live in our minds and think in terms of what will be or what has already been.  Rarely are we content with living in the now. 

 

Staying forever young deals is certainly connected to our attitude and not thinking in terms of getting old and being stuck in your ideas or not allowing new information to be entertained. 

 

Do we suddenly stop learning because we are old?  Does life no longer provide us with any new lessons? Do we really have all the information and all the answers?  I think not!

 

If you want to stay young, have fun and continue learning.  Don’t ever think that there is nothing left.  That frame of mind will ultimately end your existence. 

 

We as spiritual beings are living a physical moment.  There is so much to learn.   The most advanced souls know that the journey of knowledge has only just began.  The more moments we travel through, the more we realize how little we know.  This is not ignorance.  It is understanding that our journey has now actually begun.

 

Stay young by remaining in the school of life.  Pay attention to your focus.  Learn from the very young.  Stifle the ego and accept that we are here to learn and our knowledge is in its infancy but we are beginning to awaken.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HOUSE CUSPS IN ASTROLOGY

It is well observed that planets located on the Ascendant and MC have a very powerful effect in our natal charts.  When these two areas are aspected by transits, quite often things happen and our lives are stirred. 

 

The other house cusps are also important when a transiting planet as well as a progressed planet crosses over their cusps. 

 

The strongest point of impact to notice a change will be when planets pass over the cusps and this is particularly true if they station on one of these cusps.  A planet that goes into retrograde over one of these house cusps can move over this area up to three times and this has an impact on the area of life the house represents and the energies of the planet involved.  Once they have moved into the house and will not go into retrograde over that cusp again, then the energies are not as powerful. 

 

It has been noted that individuals with a 0 to 1.5 degree Cardinal cusp on the Ascendant and Midheaven appear to get recognition over their life time.  Some with this degree become famous or infamous much depends if any planets are making aspects to these areas, which planets it is and what aspects are part of the connection.  We are referencing the natal chart and although this is not always the case, for many this is a very real potential.  If you move to a different location from your birth town or city, it is important to have a rectification chart prepared as a move can bring on this potential or take this potential away, depending on the positions in the horoscope and how far away you move.

 

In Transit and especially with the Progressed chart, the house cusps become very significant.  If for example you have Pluto moving over the second house cusp and this could last up to a year, you will often notice a fluctuation in the finances.  Security goes through a transformation and you will uncover deeper connections to feelings linked to security in your life.

 

If the same planet moves across the seventh house cusp, there may be transformations in a marriage relationship or business partnership.  Some marriages dissolve under this transit, some relationships are made under this transit.  One thing is certain, the relationship itself will go through some challenging conditions when things come to the surface and this will have to be dealt with appropriately.  A strong relationship will survive the onslaught of this transit, but a weak one may not survive.

 

It is important to see how the transiting planet makes aspects to other planets during this transit, as this will determine the intensity of what takes place.  It is also important to see what the natal potential suggests as several challenging aspects in the natal chart to Pluto (using Pluto as an example) could indicate a real struggle, while mostly positive aspects could prove to be quite beneficial.

 

Pay particular attention to the progressed Planets making a conjunction to a cusp in the natal chart as this could last for a long time.  In general, when the progressed planet is within 12 minutes of being direct, this will be when the energies or activity will begin to be felt.  As it separates and moves across the cusp it will weaken and eventually pass.

 

House cusps are very significant especially when you are dealing with a solar return period.  Have a close look at your chart or have a professional delineate it for you and see what cusps are active and when.

LUNAR NODES

 The Lunar Nodes are considered one of the most influential forces in the horoscope.  They are considered powers that lie beneath the surface linking together spiritual intervention and human evolution.  Together the nodes, (north and south) signify karmic involvement.  These nodes are always opposite one another or in opposition (180 degrees apart) and never vary.

 

The north node deals with our earthly mission and represents in part what we have entered this incarnation to manifest and/or learn.  The north node is completely new to us and we may feel somewhat uncomfortable with our mission, as we enter unknown territory. 

 

The south node is representative of a previous incarnation and signifies what we have brought with us into this life that can be used to assist the development of the north nodes potential.

 

The north and south nodes are one of the highest regarded when it comes to spiritual and karmic implications in Astrology.  The nodes do not move at predictable speeds and move in a clockwise direction or retrograde motion.  They take approximately one and one-half years to move through a sign and are used to check timing of events in progressions.

 

We are required to move in the direction of our north node, as this node defines our life’s mission.  Identifying with the south node, or falling back into the comfort zone that the south node provides, will not motivate us in our intended direction, although some of the attributes that we have brought with us into this life can assist us and are to be used to push us forward.

 

Our life’s events that are most current have implications and are connected to our past.  The two are interlinked and work together.  Many find it difficult moving towards the energies of their north node and the higher forces will provide us with opportunities that push us in our intended direction.  Our mission is to activate this calling and move toward these north node energies.

 

These nodes are located in houses in the astrology chart which represent areas of life, always opposite one another as mentioned.  They are also defined by the Astrological sign that they are located in.  The sign and house placement of each node further define our mission and our past incarnation and the why behind our existence. 

 

The nodes are suggestive of interconnecting points where karma is connected from a past life and into the present one.  Karma is the soul’s interaction with the current incarnation and insists that we fulfil the obligations agreed upon when entering this lifetime.  These responsibilities when earnestly pursued will open the channels to spiritual growth, and expansive understanding.

 

Find out what your calling is and the past influences that push you towards you intended direction, through the nodal positioning in your natal chart.  The nodes along with your Sun sign and Ascendant are guiding factors that reveal the soul’s interaction and what we have come into this life to do.  When you align these three factors, you can have a clear idea of what your purpose truly is.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS

We have delved into the subconscious and have an understanding that ego takes up a lot of our time sifting through life events and putting us constantly on guard if we function without focus.  The ego manipulates with our right to be ourselves and takes away our comfort within our own skin.  Ego brings out the worst in us and then insists that we focus on this alternate personality and take it on as our own. 

 

We know this is how the ego infiltrates our otherwise peaceful interior, but many of us still have trouble identifying ego and continue to connect with it often mistaking ego for who we are.  Identifying with ego provides it with strength and keeps it alive and well.

 

If we wish to truly get in contact with who we are, we have to rid ourselves of this insistent nuisance known as ego.  Recognizing ego and stopping it in its tracks is essential.  Realizing its influence is really all that is needed to accomplish this.  It takes a little time and a lot of repetition but we eventually learn to recognize its voice.

 

All thoughts are actually ego generated.  The real you, the higher self, the inner self is the quiet link within that sits back and listens.  It is the one with the quite, gentle guidance.   This energy is who we are and stifling ego allows us to identify with this inner energy that speaks quietly and aids you along. When our inner self speaks there are no words, yet everything is completely understood.  It is just a knowing within that only radiates truth.  It is received on an intuitive level, but also understood consciously if we learn to listen.

 

If the ability to understand this energy is difficult we have listened to ego for too long and must challenge ourselves to reacquaint with the one with. 

 

The first step is to recognize the ego and its intent.  After that, remember not to identify with ego’s incessant chatter.  Soon you will recognize ego as soon as it starts.  Its voice is harsh and unkind.  Living in this very moment eliminates ego because ego is consumed with the past and the potentials of the future. 

 

Find the moment and watch life unfold.  Have an ear for that quiet guiding voice that echoes from the heart.

FALL EQUINOX SEPTEMBER 22/2016

 Yesterday, September 22 we experienced the Fall equinox at 9:30 a.m. EDT.

 

Typically the equinoxes represent the equal division of day and night.  The Spring equinox (Ostara) celebrates new beginnings and fresh starts.  The Fall equinox (Mabon) celebrates reaping the rewards of your hard labour and gathering the harvest.  The Fall equinox is a time of reflection on the harvest of your achievements and often considered a time of change.  It is linked to the sign Libra which above all else is a balancing sign.  The balance that you need to strive for is the knowing of what you need to hold on to and what you need to let go of.

 

Some consider this a time of sacrifice as you now reap the rewards of your labour and if you have not sown the seeds of life in the manner you should have, you may have to sacrifice because of these shortfalls and count your losses. 

 

Astrologically, the Fall equinox represents a balancing point of our self-image and any disapproval that is found in our view of ourselves.  We should review our goals in achieving our life’s quest and the conquests we have made in our lives.  This review will assist us in recognizing our abilities and true selves.

 

On the opposite side, the spring equinox is linked to the sign Aries and Aries begins things and initiates action.  These two points (spring and fall equinox) are known as cardinal points.  The cardinal points in the horoscope are known as action points.  They are used as timing devices and lead to activity, drive, ambition, and involvement.  During these cycles, you should consider this as a time of action -- either related to the start of something or the end or culmination point of whatever action you have already taken.

 

It is a time to actively pursue a course of action, to take control of your life and push forward in the direction of your choice.  Cardinal signs are action oriented and strive for activity that is often personally initiated.  This will be the time for you to make things happen.  Do not wait for or rely on others.

 

This will be the time to push ahead or count your losses and set new things in motion.  Use the energies of the equinox to push you forward and make the changes you need to and address any situation that needs addressing.  The time has come to move beyond any stagnated stages of life that have held you back.  Now is the time to reap the rewards after a busy season of planting the seeds and nurturing growth.  These efforts are now ready to be harvested.

THERE IS ALWAYS A TIME FOR NEW BEGINNINGS

 Never saddle yourself with a belief structure that all good things come to an end.  Our beliefs can tie us down and hold us back but they can also propel us forward.  It is up to you which beliefs you prefer to adhere to.  It is up to you which train of thought you will follow and allow to manifest in your life.  You are at the mercy of your beliefs.

 

When something comes to an end, the door to something new opens.  It is up to you whether you will walk through the doorway or walk away.  Sometimes the doors open on their own, and other times we must make the effort to turn the knob.  To sit and wait is not suggested.  In most cases, we have to push ourselves forward in life and let go of what is holding us back, even if this means letting go of something you feel attached to.  If the current situation no longer serves a viable purpose and stunts your growth, it is best to let it go and allow.

 

It serves no purpose to tie yourself to something that creates stagnation and there certainly is little benefit to sitting on the sideline doing nothing. 

 

Growth may take some work on your part, but it always worth the effort.  Growth can take time to unfold, so patience is the key.  Be open to the possibilities and when the energies are right, things begin to shift.

 

New beginnings are essential, and in reality each and every day is a new beginning with unlimited potential.  Do what you must.  Lay the groundwork for the journey ahead.  Live your life.  Allow and utilize your purpose.

SUN IN LIBRA SEPTEMBER 22, 2020

 The Sun moves from a need to be organized and structured Virgo into the desire for balance and harmonious sign of Libra on September 22, 2020. 

 

Libra is not a balanced sign; it is a balancing sign. 

 

Libra is a relationship sign meaning that relationships, especially when it comes to marriage partnerships, hold great relevance to them.  They need relationships of significance to feel whole and are rarely found to be by themselves although of course there are exceptions.  Many Libra individuals find that if they leave an important relationship, they are quickly in search for another, or alternatively, someone has their eyes on them as soon as they become available.

 

Libra individuals are very cordial, and most people find them very approachable.  The typical Libra individual always wanting to create some repairs to situations that need mending and looking for peaceful resolutions to any conflicts that may arise.  These may be personal or with others.  Libra individuals always seek the middle ground and make excellent mediators doing what is necessary to make peace available.  This makes them likable and they are not too aggressive in pushing for solutions but will make suggestions in gentle rather selective manners.

 

Libra is tied to justice and fairness so when they are trying to solve issues they will be fair.  They would do well in the justice system as lawyers as long as they believed in what they were doing and if there were any wrong doings, they would certainly do their part to bring integrity and legitimacy to the table. 

 

As mentioned, relationships are important but these individuals are not afraid to speak their mind when communicating with their partner at least in most cases.  This is where they make concessions with gentle mediation as the right way is important and they wish to be heard. 

 

Libra individuals are intellectuals and, depending on the sign of Mercury, are given to honest communication, although peace is still at the forefront.

 

Those with their Sun sign in the later degrees of Libra will be experiencing the squares from Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter to their Sun.  Squares produce tension but push you to make concessions to relieve the pressure.  Squares can be challenging and there are often obstacles in the way.  In this case, this would be connected to transformation and change in structure or reliability sometimes speaking in terms of relationships or business associates.  This can remain in effect until the New Year when both Jupiter and Saturn will move into the sign of Aquarius. 

 

For those individuals with their Sun in the early degrees of Libra will now be experiencing the trine which is a much more favorable energy than the square.  The stress will be alleviated somewhat although those with their Sun in the later degrees of Libra will still have to deal with Pluto. 

 

Those with their Sun sign in the early degrees of Libra (especially in January for those with their Sun in the very early degrees) will find that opportunities to resolve standing problems and find a greater sense of peace in their lives.  Jupiter expands and brings good luck into the picture while Saturn restores structure and disciplined action and stabilizes things.  Much will depend on the houses involved as this will be the areas of life involved.  You would also need to look at other indicators in the chart at that time to get a full picture of what is unfolding, of course.

 

To get the full picture, you can have a professional Astrologer look at your chart in detail.
