INNOCENT BYSTANDERS

Generally, the ones that are affected the most by life’s situations are children.  They are highly in tuned to what transpires around them, especially in their formative years.  Their parents are their main influencers and then as they age, they become more and more affected by their peers and social media. 

 

In the past, the mother has been the most influential with her nurturing and caring and the father through security and stability. Today this is not necessarily the norm as today’s parents often share all responsibilities or can switch rolls completely.

 

Children are often innocent bystanders, being influence by outside source such as the affection shared and shown between parents or the aggression, for that matter. 

 

We teach the development of love and affection through our examples. What children see in day-to-day interaction is taken as normal because these are normal in their lives.  Family traits quite regularly are carried forward.

 

There can also be influencers well beyond the family unit during the informative years. Those born in war-torn countries, for example, become less shell shocked than those not experiencing these circumstance. Fear and oppression however can be the norm for them and families can do little to alleviate these conditions for their families.

 

Violence, abuse, fear and aggression in any form are experiences we want to eliminate for everyone.

 

Change begins at the family level and then progresses to friends, communities, countries and the world. Through our actions, we generate or create waves of energy that spread outward in all directions, similar to the waves on the ocean. 

 

Your actions, no matter how large or small, have consequences and flow out influencing our world. Everything builds and moves in all directions.  Our actions create. Let’s influence the innocent bystanders and our world to be a better place by being that energy that will influence it in this way.

SATURN SQUARE NATAL SATURN

Saturn, by definition, often speaks of challenging conditions, tasks at hand, lessons to learn, discipline, creating organization and building a strong foundation. 

 

As Saturn transits through the houses, especially when it connects with the planets or the cusp of each house, it is often felt as an integrating energy that asks us to pay attention and often requires additional work.  Saturn’s influence is not something that should be ignored and is felt especially when it conjuncts a planet or angle in our birth chart.

 

Saturn, at its most powerful, often interacts when it is 2° past being direct because of its delayed effects.  However, you will likely feel Saturn’s approach long before it reaches this critical degree of influence.  Therefore, we can prepare for its influence, but it is highly suggested that you not anticipate its action as negativity can result. 

 

Saturn is the teacher of the Zodiac, and this is what it will do.  Its action sparks our attention and when transiting Saturn is in square to itself in the birth chart (which is what we are focused on in this article) our attentiveness will be enhanced.

 

Saturn asks us to work hard towards our objectives and not to miss any steps along the way.  It will teach us patience and diligence. If we do the work that is required, its energies can help build solid foundations that stand the test of time.  The structures that can be built can withstand almost any interaction because they are built from structure and lessons that are likely difficult and do not need repeating.

 

Much will depend on the houses involved in the equation.  The house where Saturn transits often produce tension or lessons and the house where Saturn natally resides helps in assisting with the dilemma.  Squares indicate struggle, but the difficulty is irritating enough that it forces us into action to formulate a plan to alleviate the irritation. Natal Saturn and its natal positioning in the birth chart will provide you with more information and information on potential difficulty or greater ease for transition due to its aspects.

 

When transiting Saturn squares natal Saturn, there will be a teaching/learning phase.  You will work your way through what Saturn’s energies are pushing at you and become more equipped to handle situations in the future.  Difficulties are represented by Saturn, but Saturn also builds resilience and integrates strength.  Many may not even realize they have this strength until Saturn forces the lesson on them.  Saturn truly is the teacher.

FOSTERING IN THE NEW

Change is inevitable. 

 

Life never remains the same.  There might be similarities over a period of time, but you can be sure that something will come along and change or shake the very foundation of life.  This should not be viewed as difficult. Change is essential for growth and a forward movement in life. A new direction on some level is at hand and will open the door when the door needs to open, but never before, no matter how things may appear.

 

Sometimes we fear or try to reject change as the current situation is comfortable. We are comfortable and circumstances are familiar. Nonetheless, change will happen, with or without our consent.  When we resist, we create anxiety and fear. If we readily adapt, the transition is much more enjoyable.

 

As we transition, we begin anew into something more relevant or more in line with where we should be. As mentioned, some may struggle with this newness, and we may not be comfortable with what is unfolding.  We fight the process or fearfully hang on to what is. If we reconsider, we realize on some level this change is not only a requirement but actually a necessity. All change begins within.

 

Resist or not, we will venture forth because this is part of our life’s journey.  We have come into this life to experience and grow, with or without our consent. Take life by the horns and move forward without expectations fostering in the new. It is useless to worry about potentials or maybes. 

 

Be open and see where life takes you. Open your arms with anticipation.

JUPITER SQUARE NATAL JUPITER

Transiting Jupiter takes roughly one year to go through each Zodiac sign.  To go through all astrological signs it therefore takes approximately 12 years. 

 

Jupiter will make a Square (90° aspect) to its natal position approximately three years after it conjuncts (same degree and the same sign) its natal position and approximately three years after (six years total from conjunction) it makes its opposition (180° aspect) to its natal position.

 

The house position of Jupiter’s natal position in the astrological chart along with its house placement while in transit will be areas of interaction with the Square aspect.  The Natal potential (Jupiter’s natal chart configuration) will also define how these energies might develop as they get close to being direct (exactly 90° apart).

 

Jupiter, known as the greater benefic, stands alone with its positive influence as it moves through the Zodiac.  No other planet by challenging aspect will have such a positive influence as will Jupiter.  The only planet that Jupiter has any challenge with is Saturn even though its influence can still prove to be beneficial over time. 

 

Jupiter is known to bring good luck, easy flow, fortunate conditions, expansion and growth as it makes its way through the Zodiac influencing links within each of our planetary positions and angles in our natal charts.

 

Squares always indicate some delays, struggles, and hurdles to overcome. In most cases, we must work very hard at overcoming the energies in place through their influence.  However, squares are considered very irritating, (using a soft word to express their influence), and will ask us to see what we can do to alleviate these conditions or at the very least make them somewhat manageable. 

 

When Jupiter Squares itself, and depending on the overall condition of our natal Jupiter and perhaps the other influences of other transits to this position, we can still expect growth perhaps through learning or through outer experiences that teach lessons. It may be a bit harder than we might wish it would be but with effort, we reap the benefits.  Perhaps we may lose something to gain something more especially if Pluto is involved.  Perhaps we gain insight through unexpected conditions or rather quick, sudden interactions, but awaken some part of our lives especially if Uranus is involved. 

 

The experience may be a little tough and we might have to put forth effort and learn lessons along the way, but the potential is still there for growth on some level. 

 

Jupiter will likely open doors over time, but it may take a few months for things to clear, and after this lapse of time we begin to understand the why behind what took place.  We will realize that whatever transpired had to take place for what we now understand or are experiencing would not have transpired if things had stayed the same. 

 

Jupiter square natal Jupiter suggests that we wrap our arms around these learning experiences and know that the universe is teaching us valuable lessons that will assist in our overall development.

WHO ARE YOU IN THE DEEPEST SENSE

The real, inner you is a little more hidden than the one you create to show to the world. We have a outer persona which more often than not is somewhat different to the person that resides within. 

 

Our core, which is still another facet of who we are, runs much deeper.  It is not the face we show to the world or the one we identify with; it is an even more deep connection. 

 

We are a combination of all of these parts combined. 

 

How much do we identify with our outer expression, with your inner self, or with your core? 

 

We tend to know our inner self or the person we identify with, and we also have come to know what might be termed as our reactionary self, but how well do we know our core self? 

 

Exactly what is our core self?

 

Our core self or higher self (simply a choice of words) has to do with our guiding force or true self.  This is not to say that those parts of yourself that you identify with or show to the world are not a part of your true self, but they are more just segments of the whole. 

 

Our core self/higher self is spiritual in nature and on a sole level.  This higher self is the guiding force even when we are not listening consciously.  This higher self can assist us in understanding the purpose behind this incarnation and guides us during our lives on this earthly plain. It is always present, and connected to beyond our earthly capabilities. 

 

This connection has many names such as source, guiding force, the whole, God and the list goes on.  

 

With all of this support, what are we capable of in this life?

 

Why do we put limitations on ourselves? 

If we continue setting limits within and only allow growth based on these limitations, what disservice are we doing for ourselves?

 

All that we wish we were is available to us. How would we even know about these capabilities existing if we are not in touch with them?

 

Don’t hold yourself back.  You are far reaching and have capabilities beyond what you believe you can be or accomplish.  Life moves quickly just as our elders warned us.  Our time is limited in this earthly plain so do not squander it.  Work towards whatever it is you have set out to do.  Don’t hold back. 

 

You are limitless and much more than any preconceived notion that you may have. So please tell me, who are you in the deepest sense?

ASPECTS FOR SUN IN GEMINI 2025

We are going to take a quick look at a couple of aspects that will affect Sun in Gemini this year. See our post on Sun in Geminin posted May 15 at https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-gemini-5

 

Those Geminians with their Sun in the early degrees of Gemini will have several major aspects with the outer planets, some of which are already in place and others are to come. 

 

On July 7, 2025, Uranus, although temporarily, will move into Gemini.  It stays in Gemini until November 8, 2025, then it returns to Taurus.  Uranus then again goes into Gemini April 26, 2026, and from that day forward for about 7 years remains in Gemini before it moves into the next sign, Cancer.

 

Transiting Uranus seeks change and sometimes in a rather dynamic fashion.  It is known as the awakener and does just that.  It clearly shows what needs revamping, what needs a new direction and what is required, often because what was in place no longer suits our evolutionary quest and our essential direction in life.

 

Uranus is quite unpredictable, and its action can be sudden and unexpected.  Quite often we get little hints that change is needed prior to its eventual demanding push, and we can make these moves if we so desire on our own. However, these changes will happen as they are not a request, they are a necessity. Change is required and these changes take place with or without our conscious consent as they are necessary for our continued growth.

 

When in aspect to the Sun, and especially by conjunction (the most powerful aspect of all the five major aspects), our goals in life and life’s direction are part of the unfolding.  On a deeper level even our essences is subject to concentrated focus and evaluation and some change is often a requirement.  Much of what transpires will depend on the placement of transiting Uranus, the natal Sun and Natal Uranus by house placement and aspect configuration within natal chart.

 

Transiting Pluto is already making a Trine to those Geminians with their Sun in the early degrees of Gemini.  Transiting Pluto currently (May 2025) is in retrograde at 3° in Aquarius.  As mentioned, Uranus speaks of change of direction and now Pluto speaks of disruption to the flow of things because a full change of direction is required.  There are no half measures about the actions of Pluto.  Pluto can be dynamic although often begins in a rather subtle manner opening doors that are now needing to be open.  Although both Uranus and Pluto speak of the need for change, Pluto being in Trine suggests that the shift of direction is likely very absolute and very productive and favorable. 

 

If, for example, Pluto was either moving into the seventh house or already in the seventh house then the potential for a change in relationships of significance, usually the partner and is subject to moving in a different direction.  The relationship will undergo a transformation and regeneration if that is a requirement and then move forward in the direction that is most suitable for the individuals concerned. 

 

The likelihood of the Sun, in this example, being in the third or fourth house is quite possible so not only will it affect the life path and inner regeneration, it will also have something to do with the home and family and communication techniques.  If in the third for example, then communication is highlighted especially in everyday affairs.  If in the fourth house, the home front and family or perhaps one of the parents being part of the conditions unfolding is likely. 

 

There are other aspects in force for Sun in Gemini but this post will only touch on these influences. 

 

Happy solar return Sun in Gemini! These aspects for those with their Sun in Gemini 2025 are suggesting change and the transition period for these changes can be much easier if you work with the energies and not fight them.

THIS RETURN TRIP

This post is dedicated to those that have an open mind when it comes to reincarnation and life after death. 

 

Everyone, but especially those that are sure or have strong beliefs that we are not here for the first time, must take responsibility for our lives.  We have picked this life, to be with the people we are close to us, even those that seem to hinder us in some way. We have chosen this road and all that lies behind us and before us.

 

Yes, we have picked even the challenging situations, because they are valuable teachers.  We also know that our higher self, which some believe is the accumulation of all individuals we have been prior to this life, will only do what is best for our journey.  We may not understand the purpose behind some of the challenges we find ourselves facing but our higher self knows what we need to learn and how to advance our eternal growth through our experiences.

 

You may wonder why my spouse is so wonderful and what did I do to find such a perfect mate or alternatively you may question why would I have pick such an individual? They seem to challenge me at every turn. 

 

What will I learn from our interaction? 

 

How will I grow as an individual and how am I affecting those that surround me? 

 

We interact with one another for reasons much greater than we might be aware.  There are deep connections with certain people that most likely we have shared experience with prior to this incarnation.  Our family and family of friends likely decided to join us again with our approval.  No matter how the relationship appears on the surface, we are linked together with total agreement.

 

Why have we met so many obstacles throughout our life, and experienced so many hardships and such sadness? Alternatively, we may ask why have we been swept away in such pure love and appreciation? 

 

What are our Karmic implications, good or bad?

 

Why do we not know clearly why events have taken place?

 

Why can we not remember previous lives to understand more clearly why things happen the way they do?

 

So many questions yet too few answers.  Are our earthly minds capable of understanding the reasoning?

 

It is quite acceptable to go deep and question why we are here and what we have come to learn. This inquisitiveness will help us to dive much deeper into our earthly journey instead of riding the wave of life without purpose or meaning.

 

Go deep into the whys behind this return trip. Find purpose, be of assistance, love unconditionally and you may find the answers more quickly.

SUN IN GEMINI

On May 20, 2025, the Sun moves from the fixed, earth sign of Taurus into the mutable air sign of Gemini. 

 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus (born in the first 1-5° of Gemini) will have tendencies also linked to the sign of Taurus.  Those individuals with their Sun in the last degrees of Gemini will also have Cancer tendencies especially internally.  These are cusp degrees.

 

Gemini, as mentioned, is a Mutable sign and these individuals are changeable, able to adapt to almost any condition, sometimes quite moody with changing temperaments frequency and quite often restless needing constant variety in life.  They usually do not like to stand still or to be idle. Geminians tend to go with the flow rather than fight against the current. 

 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus still carry the same traits as the above-mentioned, but also have concerns about the finances, wish to move forward in the same direction rather than constantly changing direction, are more steadfast in their approach and more reliable.  Financial security is often more important for those with Taurus cusping than those with the Sun in the middle degrees of Gemini.  Decants must also be considered.

 

Those Geminians with their Sun cusping Cancer are more concerned with family affairs, are also more emotional than the typical Gemini. Sensitivity and the need to protect their family runs strong with the late degree Gemini individuals.  Decants again play a part with the later degree of Gemini. 

 

The Sun sign of Gemini is an air sign suggesting these individuals are ruled by their mind and quite adept at conversation, unless Mercury is poorly aspected in the natal chart. 

 

Mercury rules Gemini and most Gemini take an interest in learning.  Education is important in the schooling of the mind, whether through actual academic learning or the schooling of life.  Geminians like to know a little about a lot, but many tend to skim the surface. Those individuals with Taurus tendencies, however, will likely run deep into subjects that interest them. 

 

Geminians are the talkers of the Zodiac.  They tend to mingle with others, have a wide range of interests, are fond of discussions, listen but also think while they listen, which at times will get in the way.  They usually have a wide circle of friends (more likely acquaintances).  They enjoy socializing and many also participate in groups as they can share their ideas with others and learn.  Geminians can be quite convincing but are also subject to a change of heart or thinking, as they review and process what has been said. 

 

Gemini individuals are very much in the moment, but also deeply embedded in their thought processing.

 

Happy solar return to our friendly, curious, witty, communicative, thinking Geminian followers!
