Truth and Reconiliation

 

RETROGRADES EXPLAINED

All planets move around our Sun in the same direction and have their own cycle depending on their distance from the Sun.

 

Retrograde motion is in fact an illusion as it appears the planets slow down and then move backwards. The retrograde planet is making its closest approach to the earth and gives the false visual that it is moving backwards.

 

The planets all go into retrograde and then direct throughout their full cycles around the Sun. The outer planets are in retrograde about 40 percent of the time (and their energetic affects are generational).

 

The inner planets go in retrograde for shorter periods of time. The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) are said to be personal planets and when in retrograde are the most challenging and often require inner reflection, alignment and adjustment. They will force us into action, and this action required is often the best used once the planet in question has turn direct once again.

 

It should be noted that if you have a retrograde planet in the birth chart and when it receives an aspect from the same planet transiting in retrograde, the energies will be more intense than for someone who does not have that planet in retrograde in their natal chart. It should also be said that it needs to make a direct aspect within five degrees to have a meaningful impact in our lives. The more planets it touches by aspect the stronger the influence.

 

Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde approximately one third of the time and are considered less personal and less of a challenge. When a planet is in retrograde, the normal flow of energy is disrupted and often held back or stifled. Saturn is the exception. Saturn’s energies are less restrictive and delayed in retrograde motion. Saturn is considered more favourable in retrograde than when it is in direct motion.

 

When planets are in retrograde it is a time to reflect and to put our focus on decision making. It is a time for making plans and to change our objectives or our perspective on what this retrograde cycle would be implying. It is important to take into consideration the planet in question and its position in our chart as well as any aspects it will be making. If it crosses a planet for example by conjunction, when it turns direct once again it will move across that same position and the energies in place will once again be intensified.

 

There is also a period called stationary retrograde and stationary direct when, for a few up to several days, the planet appears to be stationary or not moving at all. It appears to slow down and then stays at the same degree for a short period (the length of time will depend on the planet as some planets will stay in their stationary position longer than others). When it is in this stationary position, the energies are at their strongest and will be intensely felt especially if the transiting planet in question touches a natal planet at the same time.

 

While in retrograde, you should resist taking action. It is time to take action once the planet goes direct once again. Pay attention to what these energies are pointing towards (planet, sign and house position) and make plans so that you can set them in motion when this retrograde period is over (except as mentioned with Saturn as its energies are less obtrusive in retrograde motion).

 

Understanding the workings of Astrology can certainly help detect the approach of lessons and hurdles as well as the times to take advantage of energies available or when just to relax and enjoy. Astrology defines in detail what energies are in play and the time frames that will be involved.

LET GO OF YESTERDAY

Many of us can get caught up in the past spending countless hours reminiscing and wishing we could go back to that time. Many can get caught up in what they term “the good old days”.

 

Do you realize that this point in time will be the good old days in twenty years from now?

 

Rather than looking back at what once was, why not take a closer look at what is; right now. Look closely at what is right in front of you, in this moment. We can be so accustomed to complaining about what we do not like or do not have that we ignore those things that we should be grateful for right now.

 

If we spend our lives living in the past, we miss out on the eternal moment and the magnificence of what is happening now. The moment is all we have and our attention to this is paramount.

 

Do not spend another moment thinking about what was because “what was” is gone. Do not waste your time worrying about what might be because what we worry about seldom comes to fruition. If you hold on to yesterday, you throw away the potential for today. You cannot move forward without letting go of the past.

 

Live for today. Experience your life by living it. Believe you are entitled to be happy but remember that happiness can only be experienced in the present moment. Your happiness hinges on your focus on all that is and this focus can serves you well.

 

If life feels difficult, what is the lesson to be learned?

 

Once you figure out the lesson, you can then acknowledge it and let it go.

 

Enjoy the moments. Share them with those that matter.

 

Start now.

TRANSITING NEPTUNE SQUARE NATAL MOON

 If your natal Moon is in either Gemini or Sagittarius, transiting Neptune will be squaring this lunar position (depending on the degree of your natal Moon).

 

Squares signify challenging conditions and when it touches the Moon, these challenges will be emotional in nature. The Moon can also speak in terms of family and the home environment. Because the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius are mutable signs, the potential for being able to adapt and change to these conditions is stronger than if these signs were fixed or cardinal. All mutable signs can bend easier with life and make alterations to suit the changing conditions often brought on by the Moon.

 

Since the energies of Neptune are the influence during the square, (Neptune is around 21 degrees Pisces in September 2021), you may have a difficult time understanding your emotions. You will strongly be influenced by any emotional experiences over this period, and you may even take on the emotions of those around you. It will be important to step back and examine why you feel the way you do during this time frame, so that you can find ways to alleviate or at least understand the emotions you are experiencing.

 

Your emotions are on high alert. Your sensitivity and intuition are enhanced and at times subject to unreliable feedback. Neptune tends to colour events, and it makes things rather cloudy, allowing your fertile imagination to have influence over how you see what is taking place. Those that have active minds will find it hard to rationalize events because of the emotional impact of these energies. There will come a time after the transit has lost its influence that you will be able to make sense of what has taken place. As long as these energies are tied together, it will be challenging, but squares force you into action which is good.

 

If you can find ways to allow the pure energies of Neptune’s influence to expand your consciousness, (which is also quite possible although usually not until you have gone through some trying conditions), you may find that your intuition can be reliable. Feel these conditions rather than rationalize them. Go by gut instinct and hunches. These may provide you with clearer insight than trying to mentally make sense of it all.

 

You will experience intense ups and downs during this period, but the greatest lessons in life come from tumultuous conditions. You will likely understand your “feeling nature” in much greater detail and not be led so easily astray after these lessons have been taught. You may also find that you are avoiding anything that is emotionally trying to your otherwise calm conditions. At this time you should certainly get in touch with your emotions. If you run into problems dealing with current emotional conditions, do not hesitate to reach out to a professional. At the very least share your feelings with someone close. Do not resort to alcohol and drugs to remove yourself emotionally from any chaotic situation. This can be exceedingly dangerous. Make an extra effort to correct or contend with life’s conditions during this aspect and do not run from the issues through substances abuse.

 

You will get through these times and come out much stronger if you utilize these energies. Hold on for the ride and do not become over-whelmed by the conditions. As with all of life experiences, this will pass and you come out the other side much stronger and much wiser from the experience if you pay heed to the lesson at hand.

SELF MOTIVATION

Life mirrors our reaction and involvement to event. We are the creators and managers of our concentrated efforts. Our focus draws more of the same.  Our reaction sets the tone.

 

We alone motivate ourselves in whichever direction we choose to go regardless of intrusion or interference with our objectives. We constantly formulate our actions based on what we believe is possible for us

 

Some expect others to be the motivating factor behind success or failure, but ultimately, we decide which path to take, and that path leads us to our destination. We control our reactions to life’s events even when we feel we have become victim to what takes place. We alone decide if we will live in the moment or stay trapped in an experience. We will always have varying life event experiences, but we have control over our actions or reactions to these events.

 

What looks like a challenging life situation can open the door for further growth and the experience itself can open the door for clearer understanding and can build strength. On the contrary, when we experience a pleasant situation our attitude towards the event also determines at which degree we allow it to assist us and for how long we choose to hold on to the event.

 

Our feelings and reactions to life’s events determine the experience.

MINI FORECAST SUN IN LIBRA 2021

This forecast will be for those with their Sun in Libra. We enter the sign of Libra today, September 22, 2021.

 

Transiting Pluto is in the sign of Capricorn at 24 degrees (remaining in Capricorn for a few years) making a Square to Sun in Libra. The Square is considered a challenging aspect as it speaks of obstacles to overcome and is often accompanied with some degree of stress. Pluto disrupts the normal flow, pushes for change and transforms to such a degree that you may not recognize what was in place prior to these energies. It takes time to reorient yourself around what has taken place as the events unfold. This will affect those with their Sun in Libra between 22 and 29 degrees.

 

Transiting Neptune is in the sign of Pisces (21 degrees currently in retrograde and will remain in retrograde until December 2, 2021). It does not move much over this time and once it goes direct its energies will be released with no interference. Planets are allowed full expression when moving in direct motion and held back to some degree or challenged while in their retrograde cycle.

 

Those with their Sun in Libra between 19-24 degrees will experience a sextile from transiting Neptune well into the spring or early summer, 2022. Sextiles are more favourable than the dreaded Square aspect. Sextiles promote opportunities and growth and in many cases with Neptune can speak of a more mystical approach to life or with a more artistic flair. Since Pluto and Neptune will be affecting those with this placement together, transformations and opportunities are at hand with a change of life’s course in a new and more aligned manner.

 

Those with their Sun in Libra from about 10-18 degrees will be experiencing the trine from transiting Uranus which is in Taurus (currently around 14 degrees in retrograde). Uranus goes direct on January 18, 2022 at 10 degrees. This is also considered an exceptionally favourable aspect although it will not be affecting those with their Sun in the later degrees of Libra. Trines speak of easy flow, opportunities, and fortunate conditions. They are what we wait for and if we choose to apply these energies things can move along quite nicely. Lucky and timely elements are often at hand.

 

As with all transits to our natal positions, you must take into consideration the houses that are being affected as well as the natal aspects related to the planets involved. This will give a clear understanding of what to expect and how we can maneuver our way forward in life. It should also be understood that the challenging aspects are useful due to the push they provide for us to find ways to overcome the adversity. These aspects are what bring the greatest changes in life and their lessons are what build resources and growth.

 

Happy birthday to our Libra friends!

AUTUMNAL EQUINOX SEPTEMBER 22, 2021

Tomorrow, September 22 we experienced the Autumnal Equinox at 03:20 p.m. EDT.

 

Mabon celebrates reaping the rewards of our hard labour and gathering the harvest. The Fall equinox is a time of reflection on the harvest of our achievements and often considered a time of change.  It is linked to the astrological sign of Libra which above all else is a sign that requires balance. The balance is knowing what we need to hold on to and what we need to let go of.

 

Now is the time to reap the rewards of our labour but if we have not sown the seeds of life in the manner we should have, we may have to sacrifice because of these shortfalls and count our losses.

 

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

 

The 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. The fall equinox is 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 our lives and push forward in the direction of our choice.  Cardinal signs are action oriented and strive for activity that is often personally initiated. Do not wait for or rely on others to make things happen.

 

This will be the time to push ahead or count our losses and set new things in motion. Use the energies of the equinox to push forward and make the changes needed. Focus on any situation that needs addressing. The time has come to move beyond any stagnated stages of life that hold us 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.

PISCES FULL MOON SEPTEMBER 20, 2021

Tonight (September 20, 2021) @ 7:54 p.m. we will experience a Full Moon at 28 degrees Pisces.

 

Pisces is considered a very sensitive sign and has a difficult time with feelings but the intuitive perceptions are high. Other people’s emotions may play a significant role in life if you are affected by this placement. Make sure that you are not taking on their emotions and making them your own.  It is ok to be concerned and feel for others, but it is not wise to take on their feelings. It may be difficult to steer clear of this at this time if you have a sensitive nature and as mentioned are affected by this placement.

 

The Full Moon is about culmination points and what you set in motion some six months ago when the New Moon was in Pisces, you are now in the final stages of this focus. Much will depend on the placement by house position in your birth chart (each representing areas of life). If you have a planet within three degrees of this placement, particularly if they are in conjunction or opposition, this Full Moon will influence you for about one month and sometimes longer.

 

You can count on your intuitive perceptions at this time, and it may also be a very spiritual time. Psychic inclinations may be stronger than normal and some will experience vivid dreams that are trying to say something about what is unfolding in life. Just watch for being swept away by life’s events.

 

In early October, Venus will be making a trine to this placement as it is in Scorpio. This often speaks of love and romance or financial conditions. This is a favourable placement and sometimes the door opens for new or pre-existing relationships to flourish depending on the other aspects to this placement in the natal chart. Towards the end of October Mars makes a quincunx to this position in the sign of Libra still potentially speaking of important relationships and the need for balance and harmony. Adjustment is often a side-shoot of this placement and there may be some challenge in finding peace or steadiness. If this is about money, then you will have to be careful about your spending.

 

The whole chart has to be studied to get the full picture but this is a good start.

TRANSITING PLUTO SQUARE NATAL SUN IN LIBRA OR ARIES 2021

 Transiting Pluto is currently in the sign of Capricorn at 24 degrees and will move into the sign of Aquarius in January, 2024. Due to its retrograde motion, it will not remain in Aquarius permanently until November,2024.

 

Those that are born with their Sun in Libra or with their Sun in Aries from approximately 23 to 29 degrees will be experiencing a square in their birth charts, at some point. Those with their Sun in earlier degrees in these signs have already experienced this square from transiting Pluto. Check the house position of transiting Pluto, the house position of your natal Sun and the house cusp that is ruled by Scorpio (Pluto’s ruler) to get a clearer picture of what areas of life are affected by this aspect.

 

Pluto has been known to purge and to assist in uncovering different facets of life. It helps you to uncover information that needs an honest review and then expects that you make appropriate changes as necessary. Pluto often brings an end to conditions for something new to emerge. Pluto’s changes are often total and complete and what once was is no longer.

 

Pluto in the square aspect often produces challenging conditions and stimulates action particularly when it comes to your goals in life and who you are as an individual.

 

Pluto tests your resolve and your self-control. Its energies will push you ahead ambitiously. Pluto can be somewhat relentless as it moves through the areas of life represented by the house positions involved. There are often power struggles as your “will” is being tested. If you force your opinions on others during this time, you will more than likely experience much opposition. If, however, you are working for the general good for those involved, you may find that you do not have much disagreement coming from outside sources. This will also hold true for those who are experiencing the opposition from transiting Pluto (Those individuals with their Sun in the later degrees of Cancer). Those with their Sun in the earlier degrees of Cancer will already have experienced this opposition. With the opposition other people are usually part of what is unfolding.

 

The Sun deals with your life’s objectives and the will to move ahead. The ego is stimulated during transits to the Sun, and it will seem very important to have things right. There will be those that are opposed to your objectives, but you must stand strong in the face of opposition and follow what you believe in, unless of course you are not allowing others to provide you with necessary information.

 

If you try to avoid what this aspect is attempting to convey to you, life might challenge you through more difficult conditions and force you into action. Pluto is relentless and its lessons are necessary. It is best to move forward on your own than to have Pluto force the change.

 

Under extreme conditions (this would only apply if there are other factors in the chart suggesting the same overall picture), you may find that you feel over-burdened and that you cannot continue along the same path. This can lead to nervous disorders and an undoing of sorts which can be hard to put back together. If by chance you fit into this category, seriously consider seeking professional assistance as some assistance would make this aspect much easier to deal with.

 

Although squares are always considered challenging, it is up to us to handle these energies and take whatever action is appropriate for the situation. Fighting these energies creates difficulty. Recognizing the need for change and moving on this creates a much easier flow.

 

This transit is in place to build character and strength. The energies can be used to assist you in many ways. We need to wrap our arms around life’s adversities as these experiences are what propels us ahead and teach valuable lessons.

WHAT IS STANDING IN YOUR WAY?

Does it feel like you are at a standstill?

 

What is causing this lack of progress?

 

Before you point a finger at someone else take a close look to see what it is that you might do to change the direction of your life. Is it someone else who is holding you back or is it your ego that is playing the game of “It is not my fault!”?

 

If you feeling as though you are at the mercy of life, perhaps a change of attitude is what you really need. Perhaps a change of mindset and a little push from complacency might be in order.

 

If you honestly believe that someone in your life is holding you back then step past their influence and stand on your own. Perhaps a new direction is what is called for. Perhaps breaking free from this individual is what is needed. This is not to say that when life is holding you back that you break free and run. You may, however, have to make your own way.

 

In most cases, we stand in our own way. The changes or new beginnings that you are in search of can come about with ease if you change your outlook on whatever you see as intrusive.

 

Your ego’s schemes are often what stands in your way. By following these negative suggestions, you are your own stumbling blocks. You can overcome and change direction when you change your outlook. You are in command of your life, your reasoning, even your future direction. Ride the wave but stand tall in the face of adversity and claim your rightful place in life. You can only do this when you take responsibility for your life.  Take the reigns!

TRANSITING URANUS TRINE NATAL SUN IN THE EARTH SIGNS

For the remainder of 2021 and through to 2026, transiting Uranus will be in the sign of Taurus. Uranus moved into Taurus in May, 2018, and went retrograde and moved back into Aries in November, 2018. In March, 2019, it moved back into Taurus.

 

Taurus is a Fixed, Earth sign and Uranus, known for bringing about necessary charge, may have some struggles in moving ahead.  Earthly matters will be indicative of the changes that will take place.  Uranus is currently at 14 degrees Taurus (September 2021) and in retrograde.  It becomes direct on January 18, 2022.

 

The Trine aspect, in general, is considered a fortunate aspect, although (for example) if someone has been struggling with a serious illness, this aspect’s energies can define the finalization of this energy and will give details on the passing beyond the turmoil which has been impacting the individual. In all cases, it suggests easy flow of energies and opportunities.

 

Uranus always speaks of change and sometimes the changes can be disruptive yet stimulating. Uranus’s energies bring about exciting change and new adventure.

 

In most cases, the changes (sometimes of your own accord and sometimes by the nature of life) will be what is required at that point in life. Life may have stagnated on a personal, spiritual, or evolutionary level and Uranus will stimulate action. Quite often the periods when Uranus is direct in our charts, we can count on changes although how the change takes place may be unexpected.

 

Transiting Uranus is often used in predictive Astrology as a timer of events along with the progressed Moon, transiting Mars and the transiting Sun.

 

With an aspect activated in our charts by Uranus, there is little doubt that we will grow through the resulting experiences. The areas of life involved will be defined by the Astrological houses involved in our personal chart. The Sun in Astrology often has to do with goals and aspirations, and this may be the time for these focuses to be stimulated. This could involve a business proposition, a job opportunity, a project that you have been working on now, etc. The likelihood of success is enhanced during this aspect period. In retrograde, the energies are not in full force. Retrograde Uranus moves from 14 degrees to 11 degrees so anyone who has their Earth sign Sun in trine at these degrees will experience these energies three times as it passes over the Sun’s position.

 

The Sun also speaks of physical health, and many can begin new physical regimes during this time. You may find that you are looking after yourself much better during and after this period and what you set in motion can be followed through on and permanently incorporated into your routine. This may be particularly true if the sixth house is activated. Using these energies in a positive manner can bring about great results. If you choose not to act on these energies, you are wasting a great opportunity and you may be forced, down the road, to take alternative measures to alleviate what could be dealt with now.

 

Is it time to move forward in a new direction?

 

Are there opportunities available for you to take advantage of?

 

Do not sit back and do nothing if this aspect is in your Chart. Use these energies to your advantage. It will be a long time (if ever again depending on your age) before this aspect returns in your Chart. Uranus has an 84-year cycle, so the next time your Sun is trine to transiting Uranus will be roughly 28 years from now.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF YOUR ABILITIES

When you acknowledge your abilities, it is important to understand that although they may now appear to be surfacing, they have always been there and have only been lying dormant. Provide them with the proper nurturing so they can bloom and bear fruit.

 

Many of us may notice these abilities surfacing but are hesitant to accept them. Some may feel unworthy, some just cannot believe that it is happening to them and will dismiss them repeatedly. Under most circumstance, these abilities are not going to go away no matter how you deny them. It is time to accept and explore these avenues of expression.

 

Are you ready?  Of course, you are. The mind may interfere passionately. The ego will try to stifle these new concepts and abilities. It will try to rule them as talents that you are simply not capable of handling. If you can push yourself beyond these ego limitations, you can create a level of comfort. You are ready for this whether you believe it or not. It would not be happening unless the timing was right. Allow yourself to pursue these seemingly far-reaching abilities now surfacing in your life.

 

This is part of the unfolding process. These abilities have been waiting for the appropriate moment to be released. They are far from foreign. There is no need to justify these abilities as they do not make you special in any way. Everyone can tap into these. Their presence simply signifies that you are now in the proper mind-frame and can open to these channels.

 

Everyone has their own unique part to play. We all hold key ingredients that foster growth not only for each of us as individuals but for all those we touch in life.

 

We will attract others that share our experiences and understandings. We can share our insight and sharpen our abilities as well as the abilities of those around us.

 

Remind yourself of your spiritual connection to all in life, and to your own personal world. Disregard the mind’s interference. When you become accustomed to shutting off this interference, the door to understanding will open wider. Trust and believe!

AGES 54-59 IN ASTROLOGY

If you are between the ages of 54-59, this post pertains to you. Maturity is in full bloom and you are beginning to see yourself as an integrated whole and no longer just an extension of others. You are becoming clear of who you are as an individual and are comfortable enough that what others think is not important anymore. You are who you are and that’s just fine.

 

This is a stage when you are more concerned about life itself than living up to other people’s expectations and you are forming relationships to make you whole. You have come to a point where you basically know yourself and are liberated with this knowledge. Relationships still have a place in your heart, some even deeper than anything experienced previously, but you can rid yourself of unwanted or draining relationships. This is not to say that you have become cold or uncaring. Quite the opposite. You are beginning to understand what it is that you need and will form more meaningful relationships to build on this.

 

This is about self-fulfillment and self-honesty and if you have been working well within these boundaries and living your life through generosity and love, you are well on your way to a more rewarding and satisfying life. You are approaching the second Saturn return and you probably remember your first around the age of 29, when you experienced life’s events to the fullest and matured immensely, coming through a period of transformation on many levels.

 

There are several astrological factors that are in effect during this time. You will be experiencing the second progressed lunar return, which in short speaks of emotionally coming of age. You will also be going through the Uranus trine Uranus transit, which is usually accompanied with excitement and the beginning of something new. Neptune is also in trine to its natal position, helping you gain a more realistic point of view on where your life is heading. For many Pluto is also making a trine to its natal position which could be termed a life transformation when we tap into our core. You are also going through the third nodal return which is directed towards a reorientation within and a clearer focus on life’s direction.

 

These astrological transformations taking place usually signify deep transformations on many different levels. Explaining these fluctuations is basically impossible in short form, but you now have an idea why life is going through changes on so many levels.

 

Enjoy the transformations taking place and prepare for the next major transition to unfold as you enter the last years of your fifties. Some now contemplate retirement while others begin anew. One thing is for certain this will be a fruitful time and everything begins to materialize and gather momentum towards this second Saturn return.

 

This is a high point in life and you are entering into what many call the awakening of the self period. Stay tuned to the higher frequencies taking place and enjoy your unfolding.

HEMISPHERE EVALUATION

 There are four hemispheres in a horoscope:

1. The Northern Hemisphere which is below the horizon or centred around the IC;

2. The Southern Hemisphere which is located above the horizon centred around the MC;

3. The Eastern Hemisphere which is centred around the Ascendant; and

4. The Western Hemisphere which is centred around the Descendant.

An emphasized Hemisphere would have most planets in that particular quadrant.

Some Astrologers suggest that planets in retrograde should be considered in the opposite quadrant. For example, if Saturn is in retrograde in the Northern Hemisphere, when calculating a Hemisphere emphasis, Saturn would be considered to be in the Southern Hemisphere. Of course, the planets do not actually change positions in the birth chart but when it comes to this evaluation, they are in the opposite Hemisphere.

These Hemisphere configurations would look similar to a fan pattern, with most of the emphasis in one quadrant.

As we delineate this Hemisphere calculation, it is important to remember that this only applies to planets. Asteroids and nodes are not included in the calculation.

With an emphasis around the Eastern Hemisphere or around the Ascendant, these individuals would be concerned with their own personal ventures. They are driven by internal needs and push ahead with their objectives. This is not to say that they are egotistical or self-centered but that they are focused on advancing those things that they deem personally significant. Personal advancement on some level is a priority.

Some Astrologers have noted that there seems to be much defensiveness with people who have this emphasis. This Hemisphere incorporates houses 1,2,11,12 and to a greater extent the whole eastern side. Free will and the ability to move towards their path or orientation are important. They take on some of the qualities of the first house.

Those individuals with an emphasis around the Northern Hemisphere or centered around the IC are said to be more private and introverted. The emphasis would be with houses 3 through 5 and to a greater extent all the houses below the horizon. These individuals are often focused on the needs of the family and the home environment, like a 4^th house emphasis.

Some Astrologers have noted that there are affairs or events that have been left unresolved related to early life conditions and there is a need for these to be dealt with.

The fourth/tenth house axis is related to the parents. Some say that the fourth house is related to the mother or the most nurturing parent and some say it relates to the father. This has been a controversial issue with many Astrologers. You will have to test it for yourself to see what fits and feels right for your practice or your chart. This area is related to private and individual areas of life and as such can be related to internal issues. These issues are usually kept private, or some individuals choose to not deal with them at all.

 Those with a vast number of planets on the Western side of the chart or around the Descendant, houses from 5-8, and to a greater extent the whole western side of the chart from the 5^th to the 9^th, tend to concentrate their energies on others. They are “other-people” motivated rather than being self-motivate. They are always considering the needs of others when it is time to take a step forward. Direction often comes through others. There is a great deal of giving but not very much taking. Some of these individuals can be taken advantage of from those with stronger personalities or those that tend to prey on others. Those with the Western focus are very giving but must watch for being taken advantage of. There are similar traits to those with the seventh house prominent in their charts.

With an emphasis on the Southern Hemisphere, (the houses above the horizon), houses 9 through 11, or to a greater extent the whole Southern Hemisphere from the 8^th to the 12^th, there is a tendency to be extraverted and these individuals are drawn to social environments. They are concerned with what is going on in the outside world and tend to gravitate towards social activities where they can mingle and be objective about what they discover in these areas of life. There is a link to the tenth house as events in life tend to affect these individuals and their path in life.

Some Astrologers have linked the Southern Hemisphere with being swept away by life’s conditions. It has even been suggested that these individuals could be victimized in some manner. This could also be potentially related to the parents because of the axis point. Again, some Astrologers differ on who the tenth house is representative of, the father or the most disciplinary or providing parent vs the mother.

This Astrologer feels that the fourth house, being ruled by the Moon and Cancer, would be representative of the mother or nurturing parent and the tenth house, being ruled by Saturn and Capricorn, would be representative of the father or disciplinary parent. I do note, however, that when it comes to a personal injury connected to the past (emphasis in the Northern Hemisphere) there would be a connection with the father. On a deeper level, you must question how the mother influenced life’s events and what was the reaction to her interjection? You be the judge.

JUDGEMENT

How many of us judge others and how they live?

 

Our view of others is tightly entwined with our personal view of self and more often than not mirrors our own self image.

 

Because of other’s personal view of themselves, we should not allow ourselves to be affected by others’ opinions and judgements. Someone else’s opinion says much about them and little about you. They recognize or exaggerate a specific quality in you and because of a lack of self-reflection, do not consciously see this within themselves.

 

We unfortunately can be blind to our own habits and reactions, and it can be helpful when others share their observations. We must keep our ego under control, however. Honest self reflection can point out “shortcomings” and with recognition comes solution. Another method to recognize characteristics within ourselves that we may be blind to is to pay attention to those things that bother us about others. This can be an excellent personal monitor to assist in self reflection.

 

What others think is their issue. Our own opinion of self is truly important. Because of this, make sure that you are seeing yourself clearly and not selling yourself short.

 

You do not have to please others, but you must be happy with who you are. Take an honest look. Do some self reflection. Sometimes acknowledgment can be challenging but necessary. Other times what we see can expand in a very positive sense.

 

It IS good to reflect and be sure to include all the great qualities as well. What we focus on expands. Where does your focus lie?

 

This also holds true for others. When we look for fault in others, fault is all that we will see. If we look for the greatness in others, then greatness will be seen.

 

Do not make a career out of judging others or yourself. You will never accomplish excellence. Self analysis and paying attention to our positive attributes, these we can excel at. Moving away from constant negative reflection which will allow contentment and happiness.

 

Find your true expression and stop worrying about what others think!
