NORTH NODE IN VIRGO

The North and South Nodes also known as the Dragon’s Head and Tail are always opposite one another.  The North Node is linked with energies associated with Jupiter and the South Node is linked with energies associated with Saturn.  Both energies can be used in a positive sense. 

 

The North Node is tied to this life and what we are meant to pursue and push ahead with, regardless of obstacles.  The South Node’s energies are tied to a previous significant existence also tied to this life but we should not fall back on and find refuge in these energies.  The North Node can be uncomfortable due to the newness of the experience and the South Node is a comfortable place because we are familiar with its path.

 

The sign placement and house position define where we are meant to go (North Node) and what we have brought with us to assist in this life’s journey (South Node).  Some Astrologers feel that the house placement is more relevant than the sign and others feel that they deserve similar importance and that both are quite significant in their own way.  The house position is the area of life where we play out the energies of the sign position and the sign position is the expression we are meant to pursue.

 

With the North Node in Virgo, our objective first and foremost is to be of assistance, as this is a service-oriented sign.  We have come to align ourselves closely with this path of service with great accuracy and total commitment.  There are no halfway measures, and nothing less than perfection should become our objective.  However, we may not reach perfection but the more we strive for this, the further we move in that direction.

 

We are here to develop important tendencies linked to order, analytical observation, constructive thinking and organized behavior in service-oriented manners.  This can deal with health and welfare, organizing not only from a physical perspective but also from a mental perspective.  We are here to heal ourselves and then orchestrate healing on other levels linked to organized and in obvious thought processing.  The mind is to be your greatest affluence.  You have come to help on many levels without being overly critical and although you will see all the flaws in whatever you are working with, it will be important to know that they can all be fixed or looked at from a different perspective.

 

The South Node in Pisces speaks of a life potentially tied to religion and spirituality and also a life of service however this previous life received no rewards or recognition.  It was selfless in its pursuit and was not connected to ego.  This was an enlightening time with insight and inspiration and a strong connectedness to the psychic side of life.  From a different perspective, this previous existence may have been linked to escapist tendencies, like the use of drugs or alcohol or not facing any challenging conditions.  The North Node is what needs developing while the South Node is what we can bring forward into this life to assist in our North Node objectives.

 

Intuitive understanding and a knowing that stems from deep insight connected with the higher self has been brought forward and can be used to achieve the elements linked to the objectives of this life’s mission.  A look into the houses involved will further define how these energies might work.  At the same time, we can look at any aspects linking with our Nodes in our Natal Chart as this provide further detail.  You can also investigate transits to the Nodes as well as the transiting Nodes and progressions associated with what is in place at this time in your life.

FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE

 We will be experiencing a Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse on Monday, November 30, 2020 beginning at 2:32 am and finishing at 6:53 a.m. EST.  This eclipse lasts a total of 4 hours and 21 minutes with its exactitude beginning at 4:42 a.m. EST.  It is located at 8 degrees and 41 minutes in the sign of Gemini. 

 

For this eclipse to have an effect in your chart, you will need to have planets within 3 degrees of this position.  The conjunction, opposition and square will have the strongest impact, while the trine and sextile will have an influence but not as profound. 

 

This Lunar event makes a quincunx which is considered a minor aspect to transiting Venus out by 3 degrees in the sign of Scorpio and a conjunction although out by almost 4 degrees with the Vertex.  Quincunx aspects are considered challenging aspects which require adjustments, while conjunctions bring an emphasis and with the Vertex speaks of a turning point.  Since Venus can be associated with love and affection and also finances, there may be a turning point in these areas.  However, the placement of these positions in your personal natal chart and how they tie in with other planetary aspects or angles will tell the story regarding your personal life.

 

Lunar eclipses are said to last in months the duration of the eclipse in hours, so this means that the influences will come into effect and last about 4 ½ months, (some individuals, however, say the effects of this event can last as long as one year).  This eclipse, being in the sign of Gemini (an air sign) and its ruling planet being Mercury, suggests that this will be a time of intellectualizing in regard to the areas of life involved.  The area of life is determined by the houses under its influence.

 

The lunar eclipses always have deeper influences.  On a social level regarding the masses, it shows the mindset due to information coming through at that time.  If any planets cross the degree especially by conjunction, they will stir the energies connected to the eclipse.  Mars by conjunction or opposition and the Sun will particularly add to these energies while Saturn will often end situations, if Saturn is in play that is.  Mars will often spur major happenings if making contact.

 

Mercury, the ruler of this eclipse, has to with communication and everyday activities.  Gemini is very versatile and becomes bored easily unless something new begins.  Changeability is commonplace and open conversation is advised. 

 

Eclipses bring change.  A Full Moon Lunar eclipse is a time to purge and let go of things that no longer suit life circumstances.  It is a culmination point when we begin to take note of what has been in place and move to the next level.  We often reap what we have sown.  Careful consideration should be taken before we plunge into action or on the contrary, consideration of the actions we need to take as we may in the past been avoiding making a decision and therefore no steps have been taken.  Do not forget we are speaking of the energies of Gemini and the planet Mercury.

 

Some individuals fear eclipses.  In many cases, eclipses foster change but these changes are needed and should be considered essential.

 

Enjoy the energies at hand, and unless you have other mitigating factors in your natal chart connected to this positioning, you may find it has little impact on your life.  This is not considered a powerful eclipse (nothing like the solar eclipse coming up in December, 2020).

CONQUER

Fights or Flight?  Which is your normal response?

 

Life will throw events your way.  They can and will be difficult.  There are many events that we would rather not face.  We may feel very hesitant to move forward but these events only serve as lessons to conquer not to distance ourselves from.

 

By conquering any difficult situation or at the very least giving it our very best, we gain insight into our inner resolve and tap into strength that we may not have realized we had.  We discover something within that does give us hope and confidence, that instigates action, that require courage but that also can make us self-assured.

 

Take that leap of faith in yourself.  Step forward and see where it takes you. 

 

Build character and initiative. 

 

Failure teaches us many lessons.  Do not be afraid to learn.  Have resolve. 

 

Know that inside you have whatever it takes.  Be confident!

 

It is not important that you conquer every mountain in life but it is important that you keep climbing.  It is not about always winning because losses have their valuable lessons. 

 

It is about trying and giving it your all.  Do this and you have achieved.

SHORT FORECAST FOR SUN IN SAGITTARIUS

 Focusing on the sign of Sagittarius ruled by benevolent Jupiter, we will be speaking primarily of the transits from Saturn and Jupiter.  When Saturn and Jupiter are in the later degrees of Capricorn, semi-sextile to those with their Sun in the late degrees of Sagittarius, an opportunity is sometimes at hand.  Semi-sextile speaks of being in the right place at the right time and this is what this transit will relate to. 

 

By mid to late December, 2020, both transiting planets conjoin in Aquarius making a sextile to those with their Sun sign in the early degrees of Sagittarius.  Sextiles are also opportunity aspects and sometimes these prospects or possibilities just seem to fall into our laps.  Sometimes we need to take advantage of the energies at hand and literally do something to move ahead.  We would always suggest that we take advantage of given opportunities rather than wait for these potential energies to present themselves and work on their own.

 

Jupiter and Saturn, however, have totally opposing energies.  Jupiter wants to expand and fosters good luck and an opportunity to leap ahead because of the energies at hand.  Saturn on the other hand often holds us back, presents us with somewhat challenging situations and in turn fosters the potential through hard work and diligent effort to work our way through these obstacles in turn gaining insight from the experience.  So, there will likely be some push and pull at the same time for those with their Sun in the early degrees of Sagittarius particularly in December, 2020, and early January of 2021.

 

Perhaps, this ties into holidays for those that celebrate this festive time.  Christmas will likely look very different from the regular customs with family and friends.  We may struggle with being generous and buying expensive gifts (Jupiter) or being cautious due to the finances and current conditions (Saturn).  What route do we take? 

 

Check to see which houses are involved in the equation as this will be the areas of life involved.  Check which natal planets and angles interact with the Sun and these transits. 

 

As we move into the New Year, Jupiter and Saturn will make sextiles to those with their Sun in the other degrees of Sagittarius although they will no longer be in conjunction with one another.  This ends by the end of January, 2021. 

 

Jupiter will be out of Aquarius by May 14, 2021 and then it will be making squares to those with their Sun in Sagittarius. 

 

It should be noted, of course, that under most conditions depending on the other factors in the chart, Jupiter even though in challenging aspect to the Sun will not be overly concerning.

STUDENT OR VICTIM?

How have you been handling life’s pressures lately? 

 

You have managed to get this far and you are still standing tall.  It is amazing just how resilient we can be. 

 

Pay attention to every door that opens.  We have options and we will overcome and grow from each life lesson that we are presented with.

 

When we seem to be at our weakest point and ready to give up hope, we can turn a corner and see that needed glimmer of hope.  Unfortunately, some people are so engrossed in feeling as though they are a victim instead of a student, they overlook the opportunity being presented.  We build walls to protect ourselves without realizing we are cutting off our view and any inspiration that may come from outside of self.  We can build walls and veil ourselves with negative thoughts and beliefs that only serve to hold us back and deny us of the growth that is rightfully ours.

 

We can be our own worst enemy, because we convince ourselves that there is no way to learn the lesson at hand.  These thoughts of disbelief and inability become our undoing and hold us back from learning and growing. 

 

Listen to the quiet voice that says you can get through this; you can find solace once again.  As long as we limit ourselves and are captive of our negative beliefs, we have little to no chance of moving forward.

 

Most often we blame life’s circumstances.  We may not have a choice on what lessons are being learned but we do have a choice on deciding to learn these lessons instead of fighting them. 

 

We WILL encounter tough life experiences and some can be excessively difficult BUT they do not define us.  These are not punishments.  They are lessons.  See these lessons as opportunities to grow.  There are silver linings if we care to see them

 

Lift yourself out of the victim attitude.  It does not serve you.  Stand tall and learn the lessons.  You truly have the strength to overcome anything.  Nothing, no matter how challenging it may seem, is beyond your management.  You can overcome anything, but you have to believe that this is possible. 

 

You are in control always.  Be the Victor.  YOU CAN DO THIS!

TIMING OUTER TRANSITS

Today we are going to take a look at the timing of the outer transits to natal placements in the horoscope. 

 

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto move through the heavens very slowly.  Pluto and Neptune only move 1-3 degrees per year.  The normal influence of transits of the outer planets to natal placements (The angles) and Planets is approximately 3-5 degrees approaching and then 2 degrees separating. 

 

The influence of these planets is often subtle as they approach and then intensify as they move closer to being direct.  When they are within 1 degree to direct aspect to any natal placements in our charts, their influence intensifies and becomes quite apparent.  When they are within tight orb, (1 degree or less) look to transiting Mars, the progressed Moon and even the transiting Sun to stir up activity in the areas of life (houses) that are being activated.  Transiting Uranus when exact, often creates some action in the area of life that is being affected, even by itself.

 

These mitigating factors (Mars, Sun and progressed Moon) will make an aspect to the natal planet being affected by the transiting outer planet and activate or cause something to occur.  This will tighten the timing factor significantly and is used in conjunction with the solar chart for the year in question to ascertain a common denominator for what might potentially be in play. 

 

You must also take into consideration what other natal planets are connected to the natal planet being transited by these outer planets.  If there are other factors in the natal chart, say for example that transiting Pluto is conjunct your natal Venus and Venus natally is aspected by Mars and Saturn, the transit of Pluto will also affect these planets.  The influence of Pluto will not be over until it is out of orb with Mars and Saturn as well in this example.

 

Taking these things into consideration will assist in locating a time when action or internal adjustment might take place.  If you use this method it narrows down the time frame even though the effects of the outer planetary influence is in force for the whole period of time, you will have a much better idea of when things might take place or when the energies are increased.

SUN IN SAGITTARIUS – NOVEMBER, 2020

The Sun moves from the intense and investigative sign of Scorpio, to the optimistic and exploratory sign of Sagittarius on November 21, 2020. 

 

Sagittarius is in a warm, friendly, relatively easy-going fire sign known for its exuberance and love for nature.  Sagittarius always believes something good is around the very next corner.  This is a wonderful perspective for all of us to have.  Instead of a fatalistic approach, Sagittarians have a profound openness for overcoming adversity and learning from the whole experience.

 

Sagittarius loves the great outdoors and is drawn to nature and wide-open spaces.  They love travel and exploring even if this is only accomplished through the mind.  They are on a quest to learn by experiencing life and have great enthusiasm.  One challenge faced by most Sagittarius individuals is their “foot in mouth” disease or speaking without enough forethought. 

 

Their ruling planet is Jupiter and Jupiter promotes growth through exploration and expansion and through learned material and experience.  Jupiter fosters good luck, opportunities, a positive approach, and a willingness to learn from everything regardless of classification.

 

Those with their Sun in Sagittarius will have transiting Saturn and transiting Jupiter in the early degrees (0-8 degrees) making a sextile to their Sun in the mid to later part of December, 2020 up to early to mid January, 2021.  The sextile is an opportunity aspect but, in many cases, you will have to do something about that potential for it to manifest into something worthwhile.  In some cases, these fortunate conditions just fall into your lap, but with most cases, the energy we use to facilitate growth is in direct correlation to the results experienced.  Check which houses are part of this opportunity in your personal chart Sagittarius as this will be the areas of life involved.

 

Transiting Neptune will also be making a sextile to those with their Sun in the mid to late degrees of Sagittarius.  At this time (November 2020) transiting Neptune is at 18 degrees Pisces in direct motion until June of 2021 (23 degrees Pisces).  We can normally feel the energies of a transiting planet up to and including 5 degrees approaching and 2 degrees while separating. 

 

Neptune in positive aspect promotes feelings of spirituality and sensitivity.  For those inclined to mysticism and the psychic realm, they may find an opening of sorts with opportunities to explore and go more in depth in these areas.  Neptune in positive aspect to the Sun can open these doors if there is an interest and perhaps meditation would be an outlet to explore to go a little deeper.

 

Once again, check which houses are involved to get a clearer picture of how these energies might play out in your life if you have these aspects in your personal Astrology chart.  If you are looking for further detailed information, inquiries can be directed to www.holmastrology.com/contact-us.

A VOTE OF CONSCIENCE

In our ever changing environment, we have to adapt to life circumstances and live to our full potential.  Above all else, we should follow our conscience.  We have to be open to expand our conscience and adapt our attitude to one that not only preserves our compassion and love for self but also embraces those around us.

 

There are many individuals whose roles affect the multitudes.  Their actions not only affect them on a personal level but affects their communities, their countries and the world on a whole in varying degrees.   

 

If there is an opportunity to right a wrong should we take it? 

 

Are we undermining others if we attempt to change things for the betterment of the many? 

 

Sometimes we need to make a stand and do what is right and just.  Sometimes we, as a whole, can make changes that will make a positive difference.  We are all affected by those with power.  Be selective when you have a choice on who should represent you and your values.

 

Choose integrity over corruption.  Choose love over greed. 

 

Should our gain be more important than the needs of those living without? 

 

When we promote love and compassion with integrity and trust, these qualities surround us.

 

The state of our community depends on the honor and integrity of each and every person forming that community.  It is up to each and every one of us to uphold the values that are important to us. 

 

What does your conscience ask of you?

VENUS VERY ACTIVE NOVEMBER/DECEMBER

Transiting Venus is very active making challenging aspects in November to Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus.  Then through December, Venus is makes much more favorable aspects to Neptune, Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn.   

 

The energies are in place up to two days prior to the actual direct contact to about 1 to 2 days after being direct.  You will have to check to see if you have planets in the natal chart that tie in with these energies.  The dates are as follows November 15 a square with Pluto, November 16 a square with Jupiter, November 19 a square with Saturn and on November 27 an opposition with Uranus. 

 

In December Venus trines Neptune on the 5^th, sextiles Pluto on the 10^th, sextiles Jupiter on the 15^th and the final aspect to Jupiter ties in with the eclipse we will be experiencing which we will cover in a later post.

 

Squares suggest difficulties and stumbling blocks to overcome, as well as delays, restrictions, and testing times.  Oppositions always involve others and are also difficult, while trines and sextiles are opportunity aspects.  The trine indicating easy flow and positive energies and the sextile speaks of opportunities that come your way.  We can either push ahead with these opportunities or in some cases sit back while the energies release themselves into positive prospects.

 

Venus will amalgamate with the energies of the planets involved and, in many cases, speaks of love and affection, the potential for socialization, although not recommended due to circumstances surrounding the epidemic.  Money and the finances along with articles of beauty are all associated with Venus.  Much will depend on the planets involved and the houses which are being activated at that time. 

 

An example with the square to Saturn might be potential shortages or bills coming in.  You might have known about them prior to this time and preparing would be the best suggestion.  The Opposition to Uranus might suggest that you can expect the unexpected occurring perhaps in finances or a relationship that comes out of the blue with little early detection.  The relationship may be exciting and unique and offer a new way forward.  In many cases, this relationship, if there is one that is, would likely be the result of someone else’s action, not necessarily your doing.  Outside influences are often part of the equation with oppositions and with Uranus you may not be too sure about where this relationship is heading.  Long term is not always part of the picture.

 

The trines are positive and an example with Neptune might indicate, if this is a love connection, a magical intertwinement, which could feel almost mystical in nature.  It could indicate a kind of illusive nature to the relationship. 

 

Sticking with the same scenario, the sextile to Jupiter could indicate good fortune in this relationship; perhaps the other person is well off financially and helps you in these regards, or they may be highly influential in helping you along life’s journey. 

 

Much can be defined by carefully reviewing the details of the natal chart along with the transits and their connections.
