WITHOUT YOU, THE PUZZLE IS INCOMPLETE

Many of our readers have asked in many different ways how they can make things better.

 

Can one person make a difference?

 

We have talked about the ripple effect on many occasions. One small act can touch countless people.  

 

Currently, people are talking about the stress they are experiencing and the need for change on a deep level. We have heard that the world around us currently looks grim leaving many feeling anxiety and despair.

 

We can do our part to change the world for the better, even if in ways that feel minute.

 

Currently, we see and experience the effects of war but there is also much going on beneath the surface too.  The struggles we experience take a toll on each one of us in different ways.  Some hold on and keep everything inside, others react externally while others, through their discomfort, can, intentionally or unintentionally, cause difficulties for others.  We become enveloped in stress and anxiety by taking on the energies around us, both from people and from our judgement of their actions.

 

Is this a turning point or transition period globally? 

 

It certainly feels like it.  We are at the precipice of change.  Transition is always painful as we make way for the change.  Those with influence should take a leading role in making life better for those around them, pressing for peace and safety. 

 

What can one individual do to push for peace?  I’d love to hear your suggestions.

 

Don’t think that you and your little piece of the puzzle won’t or cannot influence the whole.  Without you, the puzzle is incomplete. You and your contributions are needed. Will you influence peace, hunger, isolation, loneliness, ………..?

ASPECTS FOR SUN IN TAURUS 2026

On Monday, April 20, we posted an article on Sun in Taurus.  https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-taurus-2026

 

Today, we will look at some of the aspects affecting Sun in Taurus for 2026.

 

When we review the positioning of the major Transits, we note that Saturn and Neptune are both in the sign of Aries. As a result, they are making a semi-sextile to Sun in Taurus. 

 

We also note that Uranus is moving into Gemini on April 26 which will also make a semi-sextile aspect to the Taurus sun.

 

What is a semi-sextile?

 

To begin, with a semi-sextile, you can only allow a small arb of influence which should be no more than 2° from being direct. It is a minor aspect which is considered frictional. It may go by unnoticed. If we are attuned to the energies, however, and with considerable focus and adjustments taken where required, we can take steps that will bring growth over the long haul.  The energy needs to be moved forward and can have a lasting effect if a good degree of work is done.  Sitting by and doing nothing will not bring about rewards.

 

You must consider the planetary energies and the houses involved in the Taurean’s chart to reach possible conclusions as to how these energies might pan out. 

 

Neptune and Saturn have opposing energies. Saturn seeks steady, reliable, hard work to ensure lasting potential.  Neptune, on the other hand, connects with spirituality, intuition and abilities that lie beyond what would be considered “normal” or even static to inspirational insight and psychic intuitive knowledge.  Saturn is in the realistic material realm and Neptune connects to intuitive inspiration and psychic awareness.

 

When both Neptune and Saturn are in the sign of Aries, there is a giant push to do whatever must be done for oneself.  Sun in Taurus individuals must approach life by doing what they need to do and that is best for themselves, not for others, although in many cases others might be involved in the process. 

 

The houses in the astrology chart will indicate what areas of life are involved.

 

Uranus in Gemini speaks of a change of direction often through great transformational energies that we seek through mental reasoning. A new direction is often what this is about and in some cases the action is quick, decisive and possibly abrupt. A part of you will understand that this change of direction is needed, and you know what to do to make it happen. 

 

It is important to look at all other transits which affect this placement, as with all contacts.  This gives you a clearer understanding of what full energies are in play, either making this change easy or challenging.

 

Transiting Jupiter is making a Sextile to this positioning, while Transiting Pluto is making a square. 

 

Check your ephemeris to see where these transiting planets are in your chart and if they affect your Taurus Sun sign. The closer the degree, the stronger the energies.

 

Happy solar return to our Sun in Taurus readers.  The aspects for those with Sun in Taurus 2026 involving Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus suggest there is personal work that must be done connecting with both the realistic and the spiritual realms and a possible change of direction.

OWN IT

Whatever you might be doing right now in your life, own it. Regardless of how it might look to you at this point, on some level it is supposed to be.

 

If this is a good experience, wrap your arms around it.  If this is a stressful experience, embrace the lesson as it is an educational experience.  The faster you learn the lesson, the faster you can move beyond it.  This too will pass.

 

I truly believe there are no co-incidences in life. There is something valuable behind everything in life, sometimes we recognize it and sometimes the value is hard to see. If you can’t find the “why” behind what is taking hold life, let it go. It will be revealed eventually.

 

Taking responsibility and making it your own are two completely different energies.  Sometimes life happens and the events are out of our control. We are not to hold the responsibility. Learn the lesson and move on. Do not own it. If we hold on to challenges in life, or take up residence in these challenges, we create an experience where we only see challenges and we are held captive.

 

We are at the mercy of some life experiences, and we cannot alleviate these lessons. We can, however, at them as lessons and change our attitude towards the experience.

 

Explore life below the surface. What lies there?

 

If we look at our experiences from a different vantage point (not as a victim) , we can find answers. There is a time for everything in life. Whatever is happening right now, own it just for the moment so you can learn from it and then move on. Life is to be lived!

ASPIRATIONS AND GOALS

At what age do we begin setting goals for ourselves? 

 

Some begin very early in life to set financial goals, others wait until later and some never aspire to creating a “nest egg”.

 

Most of us wish to be comfortable, at the very least. It is quite normal to set goals for financial success. However, when setting these goals we must make sure that we are not coming from a place of shortages and that we are not becoming obsessed with the need for more.

 

We live in a material world, so there it is expected that we set these goals. However, should material achievements be our only goals?

 

We do not have to be fixated on material aspirations.  We can also choose spiritual or metaphysical ambitions. When we search for our spiritual connection (whatever spirituality may mean to you), we realize that this is not something that we need to seek, because it is already a part of who we are.  Look within and we can recognize that connection. Many of our readers have mentioned that they do not feel worthy of this connection and the reasons behind this vary immensely from person to person.

 

Knowing that our belief structure expands with focus, we need to pay attention to our beliefs, our expectations, our focus.  These will build and more will come your way. Focus is key. We need to regularly review our beliefs and expectations.  Are they advantageous?

 

Let’s keep our minds open. The only limitations are the ones that we put on ourselves.  We can focus on opening our minds as well as letting go, practicing and allowing. It gets easier with disciplined effort. 

 

Our thoughts, aspirations and goals have ripple effects.  We mold our reality with our belief structure and focus. What is possible?

DUTY AND OBLIGATION

There are some actions in life that we are obligated to carry out. We must have a job in order to provide essentials.  We need to look after our health to enjoy good health. We have an obligation to ourselves first and foremost, but we also have obligations to our elders, family, boss, co-workers, friends and the list goes on, in varying degrees. There are things we must do to keep the flow of growth and opportunities in place.

 

We have a duty to our family, especially to our children as they slowly move forward into their own lives.  They learn from our example. We are likely reflected in the actions of our children in some form or another.  Because of this, we must set an example that is worthy to be carried forward. 

 

Being that good example comes easier if we have respected our obligation to ourself as we mature. It is important to foster positivity into our daily lives. It is essential to formulate an action plan that includes our wellbeing. We do have obligations beyond ourselves, but we must take care of ourselves to be of assistance to others. You cannot feed someone from an empty cupboard. 

 

Is our attitude one that promotes or allows happiness, or are we caught up in the challenges and noise of life?

 

How can we shift our focus away from the noise to accommodate harmony within?

 

We have the ultimate tool required to initiate change.  We can change our attitude, first and foremost.  A slight adjustment can help us go from chaos to calm.  Attitude is perhaps the most important ingredient in making life more manageable, if not enjoyable. 

 

Life can and will be difficult at times.  We cannot change what life throws our way, but we can change the way we look at these lessons.  In our mind, we can change the word “difficulties” and use the word “lessons”.  That in itself is the first step.  We can learn to turn our reactions to actions.  Reactions are uncontrolled.  Actions are purposeful and productive.

 

It takes little effort to be a victim, but it comes at a high price of stress and lack of enjoyment.  Go from victim to victor over your life experience.  It does take work, much effort, in fact initially.  We are creatures of habit.  Break the habit and exercise the “finding the positive” muscle.  The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes.

 

If we look for hatred in this world, we will find much hatred.  If we look for compassion in this world, compassion will show up.

 

A positive attitude is not going to change the world around you (but it might); a positive attitude will change the world within and make the world around you much more enjoyable.  A life of peace and appreciation is within our grasp and much of what we might want for ourselves is available if we wish to work for it. 

 

Believe in ourselves; push ourselves a little. Make it our duty and obligation to have peace within under any of life’s conditions.  We are strong and resilient. With determination, we can do anything we want to help ourselves through any of life’s situations. We are always learning and becoming stronger if we exercise what we need to.

WHAT WE CAN CONTROL AND WHAT WE CANNOT

There are things in life that are completely out of your control.  They often happen when you are least expecting them.  You might experience a car accident, loss of your job, or on the other side of the coin, get a promotion, receive confirmation that your cancer is in remission and most importantly experiencing peace when you least expected it.

 

Many of us want control over everything but more often than not, we are at the mercy of circumstance.

 

Life happens. Situations change. We can blame ourselves for every event (but why?) and take ownership of things we do not own. Perhaps others are involved and our intentions were deeply wanting to assist, for example, but they had no impact. Have we not all blamed ourselves for someone passing-over because we might have been able to do just one more thing different to change the situation? That is grief. Recognize it as such. Sometimes we can give it our best and things still move in a manner that is anything but what we had hoped for.

 

Step back and look with your eyes and not your heart. Many life situations are out of our hands. Each of these events and hardships have lessons for us, however.  Is that lesson “to experience and let go”?

 

Learning the difference between what we can control and what we cannot control can be a difficult lesson. Do your best. Acknowledge you are human. Acceptance can be a beautiful thing when appropriate and bring needed relief.

IT’S ALL OR NOTHING

There are times you just have to go for it.

 

You have spent countless hours contemplating and now you realize that the moment has come for you to advance.  You feel it. It IS the time.

 

Give it your all and don’t back off, not even for a moment.

 

For each of us, this focus will be a different one. No matter what the focus, push through any adversity and forge ahead.

 

You may have been waiting for a long time, and something has held you back.  Was it fear?

 

Do not step on others to get there. Karma is real. This is not about revenge or getting even, life looks after that. It’s about just reward, doing the right thing, and letting life take you to where you are supposed to be.

 

Fear can hold you back, but do not let it!

 

Move forward armed with information, with positivity and the best intensions. You can do this with or without assistance.

 

Who will benefit?

 

Take care of yourself but if you can incorporate benefits for others, that is much more rewarding.  Listen to your intuition. Step forward with hope and compassion.

 

It is important to pursue your dreams and goals. Are you ready? Get set……go! It’s all or nothing. Give it your all and reap the rewards.

HOLD ON TO GRIEF

When we lose someone close to us, it can be hard to move forward. Our “normal” no longer exists. The calendar days may pass by, but the emotional pain can remain. There is no right way or length of time to grieve but there can be emotionally healthier choices to be made.

 

Some will show no signs of grief possibly from denial or avoidance while others can be frozen in grief.  Some hold on to grief and the pain they are experiencing because it makes them feel as though, somehow, they are staying close to their lost loved one.

 

Grieving is not a linear process and can be just as much physical as it is emotional.  Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to mourn your loss. 

 

The mourning process is a time to feel and process our loss but to also adjust to our new “normal” which moves forward without the physical presence of our lost loved one.  The five steps of grief are denial (hope), anger (pointing blame), bargaining (you can’t change places), depression (processing the loss) and acceptance (moving forward in a new way).  The lines between these stages are not defined and can be blurred regularly.

 

Some individuals can become stuck in any stage of grief. It is hard to be rational when we are engulfed in grief.  We can find ourselves asking questions such as, “Was it something I did?”, “What could I have done to change things?”, “Someone is to blame?”, “Why am I being punished?”, “Why wasn’t it me?” and the list goes on.

 

Some may push their pain on to others as they do not want to suffer alone, consciously or unconsciously. They take their anger out on the ones they love the most or put up walls to keep others away.

 

It’s hard to realize, in our depression, that those around us are also affected. We can be very hard on the ones we love the most. They too are grieving their own loss too. Their loss may be connected to your loved one directly or it may be their having to watch you suffering and your loss of participation in their lives. 

 

Most times, there are no specific reasons for what happens in life.  We can be sideswiped by events.  These experiences can seem very unfair.  On the other hand, we may be expecting the loss, knowing that it is coming but when it actually happens, you are not prepared though you thought you would be.

 

Accept that we cannot change the past, but we can certainly learn from the experiences.

 

No matter what the circumstances around the event, we must make our way through the grieving process. Take the time you need to experience and process but do not live in the past.  Live in the moment.

 

It is sad to let go and move forward without those you have created this life with. Do not hold on to grief. How wonderful that you have had the opportunity to enjoy and experience life with them, no matter what that length of time may have been.  Celebrate what they shared with you. Thank them for the journey you shared but continue with yours moving forward, in their honour.  Would they not want this?
