OBLIGATIONS AS A PARENT

Our children are our children regardless of their age.  We will always be Mom or Dad to our kids, although as we age, the gap certainly begins to shrink.  In some cases, our children become our best friends, after all they have been with us since their beginning.

 

As they mature into themselves, it is important to remember that as we made our way through adversity and learned valuable lessons so will our children.  We are their parents but, at some point, we must step back, trust in the seeds we planted and let them learn through life’s experience and their own judgement.

 

This can be a very difficult task, as we feel we must advise and help in whatever way we can.  Reassure them that we are always there for them. The lessons they learn through experience are the most valuable and the ones that they remember. 

 

Do you remember when your parents tried to advise you? 

 

Most of us felt they were out of touch and interfering.  Your children will likely feel the same way.

 

We do have obligations as parents and we do our best.

 

The world they are growing up in is different from the one we grew up in. Life was easier on some levels and also more challenging on other levels.  

 

Be the example they need. Nothing speaks louder.

 

Remember you are human. If you made mistakes when they were young, acknowledge the mistakes and then let go.

 

Every day is a learning experience. Our obligations as a parent are to teach by example and to love and reassure them that we care. They too will make mistakes just as we did. Forgive them and forgive yourself.

JUPITER SQUARE NATAL PLUTO

Much of what transiting Jupiter square natal Pluto signifies and creates (over a period of about 18 months) will depend on the Natal nature of Pluto in your natal chart, including its aspects to the other planets and angles in the chart.  If Pluto is well aspected in the birth (also called natal) chart, the transit of Jupiter will build on positive energies as it nears exactitude.  If Pluto is poorly aspected in the birth chart, then it will not be as favorable, although Jupiter’s transits are usually quite promising except when it makes hard aspects to Natal Saturn.

 

Jupiter tends to expand on things and the placement of Pluto in your natal chart by house position will describe the areas of life affected. 

 

If, for example, Pluto is located in the seventh house then the area of close personal relationships like a marriage partnership would be activated.  If transiting Jupiter were found to be in the fourth house, the energy of Jupiter would be centered around the home and family.  If Jupiter were transiting through the tenth house, then these energies would have something to do with life’s status, your career and your path forward.

 

The Square aspect often indicates some struggle, although at the same time the struggles are challenging enough that they often spur us into action to alleviate the issues and repair anything that needs it. 

 

Pluto transforms and regenerates and often indicative of power struggles and the need to make significant changes in order for something new to begin in life.  Pluto often indicates an ending of conditions so that something new can begin.

 

Jupiter brings opportunities to rectify the situation, with hope and often vigor when approaching the situation with an open mind and positive energies linked to resolution.  Jupiter might just be the saving grace when these energies (defined by the houses position) are activated.

 

If Jupiter goes retrograde, several direct contacts will be made and energies will be highlights whenever the direct degree is touched.  The first pass of Jupiter over the direct degree will be the strongest and the final pass (third pass) will indicate a finale to the transformation. 

 

You will likely know a year or so before direct contact what needs transformation. It will take time to move through the life lesson and to adjust to what unfolds.

 

With transiting Jupiter Square natal Pluto, Pluto wants transformation and Jupiter may make you ambition in your efforts. Aim for authentic empowerment.

THE MOMENTUM OF LIFE

Today could be one step forward and two steps back. Tomorrow may be full throttle ahead without waver. 

 

We can learn to go with the flow when needed but there will also be times we must fight tooth and nail because we know it is necessary. 

 

We can hold ourselves back because of worries.  We fear the unknown but damn it, we move forward anyway.

 

There are days that the flow is carefree. We enjoy the ride and float with energy because it is taking us exactly where we want to go.  We enjoy what life teaches and wish for more of the same.  In many cases this energy force can carry forward and begin to affect many areas of life in positive terms.  Our focus now becomes more attracted to the good things in life as life seems to present its selves in this way.

 

Life’s momentum changes over a lifetime many times.  We accept what life sends our way and maneuver our way forward.  Some days are easy. Some other days are battles because we must fight or alternatively we resist, we fear, we hide. 

 

Do not get overwhelmed. All things pass. Life’s momentum can and will shift. If it is difficult today, know that it will change but learn the lesson in the meantime. If it is smooth-flowing today, appreciate and take time to enjoy.

 

We walk our road in solitude although others walk beside us.  Focus is everything. The momentum of life is forever changing. Enjoy and appreciate the ride, whatever it may be.

JUPITER SQUARE NATAL NEPTUNE

Transit Jupiter, square natal Neptune can be in effect for several months if it goes through its retrograde cycle while making contact to your natal Neptune.  Jupiter will make contact three times, if retrograde affects its movement. The first contact will be the most impactful.

 

The Square aspect (90° aspect) is usually considered quite challenging, and the energy is strong enough that it pushes you to act to alleviate the stress it is causing.  When the Square is coming from Jupiter, its energies are far less challenging than if coming from most other planets. 

 

Transiting Jupiter square natal Neptune is likely indicative of things not being very clear, and that your direction is uncertain. This square will push you to deal with this uncertainty or vagueness.  It is, however, not overwhelming.  The same transit coming from Saturn instead of Jupiter would be much more demanding and difficult to handle.

 

In most cases, it would be wise for you to reach out to a reliable source for clarity.  Others may provide you with much-needed information that might make things a little easier.  However, under other circumstances involving other outer planetary influences, Jupiter can increase the difficulty and make things over the top, especially if the situation has been going on for some time.

 

Jupiter should still, regardless of other influences, assist in the process and the overall outcome is likely to be more favorable than what might have been expected.  Jupiter can expand on things but also brings opportunities for helpful learning experiences and an opening for positive outcomes.

 

The houses involved will provide you with much needed information regarding the areas of life involved.

 

With Transiting Jupiter square natal Neptune find a balance between being clear and unclear or dreamy. Work towards a solutions in order to enjoy a favourable outcome.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE

“To be or not to be”.  Apparently that is the answer. 

 

Do you choose to be yourself or are you committed to being what others expect you to be? 

 

You can be whomever you wish to be and believing this opens the door to exploration of who you are. 

 

When you meet someone new, do you hide your true self, or do you allow your true self to shine loud and clear?

 

As we age, we become more comfortable in our own skin. We learn to accept who we are, but we certainly can stay open to making changes.  I have heard some say they don’t give a damn what others think.  Others are quite aware of how they present themselves to others and make changes according to each person they meet.

 

There can be high expectations under some circumstances. We are on our best behaviours during a job interview, for example.

 

Some individuals may not clearly understand what we mean when we said “You can be whomever you wish to be”.  The person you wish you could be already exists -- living within.  You wouldn’t recognize these traits or this personality if it did not already exist. Allow these traits to shine through.

 

If you take an honest, deep look at who you are (in this very moment), and you are comfortable with that person, what needs to change? 

 

If you take an honest, deep look at who you are and you are not comfortable with that person, why not make some changes?

 

Be comfortable with YOU!

 

If you ask ten people to describe who you are, you will get ten different answers.  So do not change to appease other, make changes because you wish to make them for yourself.

 

To be or not to be is not the question.  To be you, to be comfortable with you is the solution; to be something that someone else wants is out of the question. That is the not to be!

PLUTO SEXTILE NATAL MC

Transiting Pluto will be in Aquarius for many years to come.  Those that have their MC or Midheaven in the signs of Aries or Sagittarius will, at some point, depending on their MC degree, experience the Sextile from Pluto to this position.  Allow up to 5° approaching and a 2° separation to your MC with this transit.  Of course, the closer Pluto becomes direct while in transit, the stronger this positioning will be.  For those that do not understand the term direct, let’s say that your MC is at 5° Aries; when Pluto is about 1° or a little less, it begins to have an impact and when it is at 5° (the same as the MC in our example), it is at its most powerful (direct).  The minutes also apply as 60’ equals 1°.

 

Pluto is known as an agent of transformation and regeneration.  Its action is direct, although often quite subtle in the early degrees as it approaches.  Pluto’s action is complete, in that something comes to an end and something new begins.  Pluto is a powerful influential determinant of change and although it may take as long as 2 years to fully understand its actions, you adapt or you will struggle under its influence.

 

Sextiles are opportunity aspects that often need a push by you for something positive to become apparent and to manifest.  Aries on the MC often depicts an individual who wants to achieve and often under their own terms. With Sagittarius, the MC speaks of an individual who is upfront, optimistic in their approach and believes in success, as does Aries, but Aries often tends to rush into situations without taking the necessary time to reflect on possible outcomes.  Both signs are fire signs indicating that they move towards goals with much enthusiasm.

 

The MC has to do with our career, our objectives in life and our path ahead.  It also relates to our status in life and recognition for our efforts. 

 

Pluto can make giant changes with these matters governed by the MC. For those that are comfortable with current circumstances, it may be more difficult to maneuver their way out of these conditions towards what lies ahead.  In some cases, if Neptune is involved in the equation and especially if it is in poor aspect association, the road ahead is quite murky and unclear.  Because of this, fear might be part of the process, but as we begin moving into our next venture in life, we slowly understand why these changes took place and that the next phase is where we needed to be.

 

With Pluto sextile natal MC, change and transition are part of the process. Push forward, ride the wave of change and get yourself ready for what’s next on life’s agenda.

FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE

We can seek freedom from many different things.  One important freedom is to free ourselves from the bondage of our mind’s interference.  Our mind can get caught up in the past or worry for the future.  We are so trapped in our worries that we forget that our focus amplifies and can become all consuming.  We are so focused on “what ifs” or “has beens” that we forget to live.

 

We continually hash over experiences to the point that they take up permanent residence in our head, and we continually loop over and over again on what was or what might be, much like the movie, Groundhog Day. 

 

We torture ourselves over what we could have done or what we might be able to do. This can also lead to pointing a finger at others and laying blame for events in our lives. Alternatively, we can take responsibility for events that were completely out of our control.  Does this sound familiar?

 

Our bondage stems from our preconceived notions of what we think SHOULD or SHOULD NOT have happened or what might happen in the future.  One suggests we have control issues and the other suggests we worry about potentials.

 

Some people truly do live in their self-made bondage, whether that bondage be mental or physical.

 

The bondage of fear robs us of living. Some of us may be tied to the security of our home environment. Step out and breathe the air of freedom.

 

Some are held in bondage because of the acts of others or life’s circumstances.

 

Can you rise above or break free of your personal bondage? 

 

Do you worry about potential outcomes if you take action? 

 

The unknown can create fear but you are stronger than that fear.

 

Ask yourself if you are supposed to exist under these conditions.  Of course not.  You are here to live!

 

It takes courage but make the choice to live not just exist.  You and you alone must make that decision.  You do not have to do this alone.  Reach out for support or help. Take the first step to freedom from bondage.

 

Break free! You are worth it. Start living!

TRY, TRY AGAIN

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! 

 

Never give up.  Always give it your all.  Some things are worth working or fighting for.  There is satisfaction in knowing that you did your very best even if the outcome was not as planned. 

 

It is important to weigh out the cost (time, effort, value, odds) before committing to something. There are no guarantees in life, but if you don’t try, how do you know?

 

The rewards for a battle well fought usually pays high in dividends.

 

No matter what the goal, working towards a promotion, building a name for yourself, getting more healthy, saving a relationship, if it has value to you, it must be worth the effort!

 

Some things are more important than others. Set your priorities.

 

Obstacles only mean a little more effort. They will test your resilience, but they will teach you valuable lessons.  Life lessons can lead to irreplaceable outcomes.

 

If the cost is too high or the outcome unattainable, walk away!  That is not giving up; it is being accountable.

 

If there is potential for a favorable outcome but it entails hard work, so be it! Try, try again! Many things in life are worth it.  Give it your all. If you fall, get back up! When there’s a will, there’s a way!

NEPTUNE SEXTILE NATAL SATURN

Currently, Neptune while in Transit will remain in Aries until it moves into the sign of Taurus on March 23, 2039.  Neptune remains in a sign approximately 14 years.  Those that have their Natal Saturn in either Gemini or Aquarius, understanding that the orb of influence can be up to and including 8°, some saying even 10°.  will begin to feel the energies of Neptune as it approaches within 3-5°, and its waning influence dissipates once it is 2° in separation.

 

Transiting Neptune just entered Aries on a permanent basis in January, 2026; therefore, those with their Natal Saturn in the late degrees of Taurus or the late degrees of Capricorn (that is when Transiting Neptune is in the early degrees of Aries), will also have this influence.  You will have to take into consideration the nature of Saturn in the signs as they differ significantly, when deciphering what this combination might signify.

 

Although the Sextile is considered a favorable aspect, the energies of Neptune and Saturn do not blend well together.  Saturn is about structure, and reality based on living in today’s world which is tightly linked to achievement. Neptune, however, by its nature, has nothing to do with structure. Neptune opens the door to what could be considered “structurelessness”.  Reality, linked to Neptune, has to do with spiritual concepts and those things considered supernatural. 

 

Saturn seeks what is reliable and does not like to go outside of those boundaries, while Neptune does not like anything that could be considered challenging and, in many cases, chooses to stay away from these matters.  Saturn has to do with adversity and working its way through challenges, while some would say that Neptune hides its head in the sand and will do whatever it can to avoid challenging situations.

 

The Sextile between these two powerful energies tests the reality of spirituality.  It will seek out discrepancies and find answers through logic and any approach that is tried, tested and true.

 

Neptune does not seek validation. It understands that spirituality is about faith and believing in higher frequencies and holds tight to the psychic or mystical realms. 

 

Neptune is about letting go while Saturn is about holding on. 

 

A door can open with these two opposing energies because of the sextile’s energies. With transiting Neptune sextile natal Saturn an opportunity could present itself to assist in getting to the core of the psychic or mystical realm, but not without some challenges that need to be met due to the lessons Saturn insists on teaching.
