SECOND NATURE

You may or may not be aware that what you do in your little corner of the world has an impact on the rest of mankind.  Your thoughts, your preconceived notions, and your focus all have influences on all that surrounds you and the ripple effect reaches far beyond your immediate environment. 

 

In many cases, what transpires due to an action, or a thought does not indicate an evolutionary change for mankind, but it does energetically touch those around you, creating a vibrational energy that expands.  Energy has no ending; it is constant!

 

We shape our world by our focus as we only truly see what we focus on. Our personal energy affects those immediately around us which can then affect their thoughts and feelings (moods).

 

We transmit information in many ways and again, just like the waves on the ocean, they travel far beyond what we see.

 

To promote love, peace, freedom, compassion, etc., let’s focus on these.  It begins with each of us! We foster growth and change by concentrated energy and initiate action based on similar vibrations.  It is up to us to do our part to create the world which we wish to live in. 

 

Do not focus on how bad you believe things are in the world around you. By focusing on that, you are actually amplifying negativity and opening yourself up to more of the same. 

 

If you want love, focus on love not the lack thereof.  If you want peace; focus on peace not on the want for it. Appreciate what is in your life. Acknowledge all that ought to be appreciated.

 

We are not suggesting running from issues.  Face them head on, deal with them and then let them go.  They do not require our concentrated focus; they require an effort and a release. Then we can again appreciation the lesson and focus on your love for life. When we practice focusing on the positive that surrounds us, we may be deeply surprised at how much there is to be thankful for and how much that focus affects those around us.  

 

You can’t simply remove what has been in place for most of your life.  But just as a muscle, you can repetitively practice building a new focus. Repetitively practice this focus and be appreciative until you make it second nature. Imagine the ripple effect you can create!

SELF-SUFFICIENCY

When is it appropriate to step aside and stop providing guidance and assistance for those that are in need? 

 

What energies or resources should we put forward to aid those that have been living under harsh conditions on some level or another?

 

Assistance is essential at times, but we should teach life skills to others so that they can move forward with pride and self-reliance.  Give help when help is required in the moment and just as importantly, we should help others to help themselves.  We can provide guidance or assistance but at some point, it is important to back off when those who have needed our help are ready to move ahead without our assistance, so they can experience self-reliance.

 

Challenging conditions are lessons teaching us how to build strength and endurance.  These lessons are part of life’s journey and in turn, when the lessons have been learned, we gain strength and knowledge.

 

Know when to help, and when to bow out and let others move forward on their own.  The old saying goes “Feed someone a fish and they are fed for the day; teach someone to fish and they are fed for a lifetime”. Self-sufficiency is empowering.

ALIGNMENT

We have had clients relay to us that they consider themselves out of alignment.  Some suggest that they are way off while others feel that they are getting closer to their alignment. 

 

How do we become aligned? 

 

The alignment that we speak of is being aligned to our inner self, our higher self, and our inner guide. 

 

This inner guide or our core personality knows and understands what we require and knows the best way to go about reaching these requirements. 

 

We do grow as individuals as we mature into ourselves and in the process, we change and develop.  We walk down many different roads taking us towards our objectives, even when we are not sure what exactly these objectives may be.

 

Being aligned with our inner core allows us to listen, be open to and to following the advice we are presented with from within.  We always have options, and we are never forced to move in any particular direction even when it appears we are without choices.  We always make the final decision on any action we take.

 

The more open we allow ourselves to be, the easier it is to hear the voice of reason, the voice of calm and the voice of collaboration.  When we begin realizing that this inner guide is actually assisting, the clearer the messages become.  Our inner alignment or higher self is also tied to our collective source which resonates at an even higher level.  We are fragments of this higher vibrational energy, and this source energy is complete and is indivisible.

 

How do we understand from a human perspective where this energy comes from?

 

How do we understand the message that it is inferring? 

 

It is my opinion that we are incapable of understanding with our earthly minds. This higher source energy enfolds all of us and is in constant communication with us. 

 

When we are in alignment, this essence is recognized as not only hope, but also as peace, contentment and love. 

 

How do we go about finding this? 

 

You have already found it because it has never been lost. As you align, it surfaces. It is within you, always has been, always will be. It is a part of everyone.

PLUTO SQUARE MIDHEAVEN

When transiting Pluto squares your midheaven (MC) challenging situations will affect your career options, life status, goals and aspirations and life’s path. This is not an easy time, and you will have to adjust and often to a great degree. Intensity and disruption along with adversity can be expected.

 

There are no halfway measures about Pluto and in many cases, what takes place is out of your control. You can fight the process, which in some cases can be beneficial) but, in this case, you may have to go with the flow and recognize these energies over time will move you in the proper direction (although perhaps not in the direction you anticipated).

 

There can be power strategies and ego disputes and almost always a struggle to gain insight into where life is taking you. There can often be a degree of uncertainty especially when Neptune is involved in the calculation. Worry and concern about your future is often evident because of the uncertainty.

 

As with all transiting squares, however, the energy is challenging enough that it forces you into action. A resolution is needed, and you will find one if you go deep enough. Sometimes attitude is your greatest enemy.

 

Your goals in life will likely change and your path will alter, but the outer planets when transiting over parts of your chart are indicators that change is required. Although it may feel like the rug is being pulled out from under your feet, you will find a way to land on your feet with new perspectives and a new path as you move forward into what now seems like the unknown. Faith in the process is vital and although the struggle may be intense, you need to keep your wits about you. Don’t let life get you down and believe that this is for the best, no matter how things might look in the moment.

 

Everything in life happens for a reason. Take the bull by the horns and adjust when you need to and know that as time progresses you will recover, be in a better position and be wiser when the dust settles.

TRANSITING URANUS SEXTILE NATAL VENUS

With this aspect you can expect changes in the areas of love and affection, socializing, and finances. Uranus brings changes that are required to move you forward. Sometimes these changes are sudden and completely unexpected while at other times you “feel” or know that the potential is there for things to make a move.

 

Uranus acts in quick and unusual ways bringing about an awakening of sorts to what it touches. It invites “new” to situations that require change. When Venus is involved perhaps this could involve a love affair that you never saw coming, or perhaps you have been friends and now the relationship goes to the next level. You may feel ill-prepared and may never have considered this individual on a love relation level. Perhaps things just happen out of the blue and one thing led to another. Now it may seem as though this was a fated encounter.

 

Venus, definitely speaks of love and affection, can also refers to a younger woman. It is likely females that we are speaking of whether this be you or it is speaking of a female counterpart. Perhaps your friends set up a social gathering where you met. Perhaps you were celebrating something, and this individual connected with you.

 

As mentioned, this can also speak of your finances and beautiful objects. Perhaps on a whim you decided it was time to buy a new car or perhaps you decided it was time to sign a mortgage.

 

Watch for Uranus being retrograde as this can restrict its energies. Review what you might want to buy or where you place your attention at this time, and if possible, wait until the retrograde period is completed.

 

E.g., if T Uranus is conjuncting the MC as it sextiles your Venus, you get a raise or you become more social with those that you work with (this is more likely if Uranus or Venus is in the sixth house). The sextile is an opportunity aspect, and the energies are ripe for more positive potential to arrive. You should review your objectives, especially with love, affection and your finances, then take advantage of your options. Make sure you check out your full chart before you advance, as any challenging influences can hinder things or influence bad decisions.

FULL MOON IN ARIES

On September 29, 2023, we will experience an Aries Full Moon at 6° (First decant).

 

A full moon is the harvest time of our efforts from seeds plants some six months earlier under the energies of the New Moon in Aries. For those that are affected by this Full Moon, the efforts they expended will be reflected in the fruits of their labor.

 

The sign Aries is often associated with a new beginning and with this New Moon/Full Moon energies what you initiated is likely something very personal in nature. It may have been something that you started with or without the help of others and it has your personal stamp on it. You may have started a business or initiated something that had been sitting on the backburner. Perhaps you began a love relationship that is now maturing and either moves to the next level or ends.

 

There are other energies involved. Transiting planets Venus and Uranus are square to one another often indicating some type of change taking hold in the area of relationships or your finances. There must be indicators in your natal chart before this applies to you. If there are, you can expect the unexpected and it might happen in an erratic and unusual manner.

 

There are no other transiting planetary energies attached to the location of the Full Moon at 6° Aries, but your natal chart might say otherwise.

 

Aries is about taking the initiative and forging ahead with or without much planning. What you do or how you move forward might be considered by some as ego oriented or self-consuming. Your actions, however, must suit your objectives first and then have their outward expression. There is a degree of “What do I need?” in this Full Moon in Aries and you must come first. It is time to think about what is best for you and how you can go about making changes or following through with whatever will benefit your goals.

 

The house positioning and aspects from the natal chart to this placement will tell the story and those that are affected by this placement will realize that what they plan and work towards has potential to come to fruition.

LIBRA FORECAST CONTINUED

We continue our look at aspects affecting Sun in Libra readers. See our previous post on Monday for more forecasting www.holmastrology.com/post/libra-forecast

 

Neptune and Jupiter are both currently (September 2023) in retrograde suggesting that they are not operating to their full potential. Neptune can make things feel unclear while Jupiter can influence you into thinking you could make anything happen. There are many more outlets for these energies, but it is safe to say that when they turn direct (December 2023) things will be clearer, more concise, and you will look at your objectives in a more reasonable light without overexaggerating the potential. The areas of life involved in these equations will be marked by their house positions and the house position of the Sun for those with their Sun in Libra.

 

The quincunx aspect is a 150° angle between two placements in your chart. You can allow an orb of 5° to see if these placements affect your Sun. A quincunx also known as the inconjunct is a challenging aspect which speaks of adjustments that need to be put in place. Once these adjustments have taken hold, things will flow more smoothly. As time passes you will recognize that the changes were essential to your goals and aspirations.

 

The Sun represents who we are and is connected to our path in life along with other indicators in the natal chart. The Sun speaks of inner personality and objectives available to us which we can either act upon or pass by. The Sun is our essential self and indicates our mission and who we are in personal terms. Not everyone sees certain Sun sign energies but with Libra, we are seen as someone who is seeking equilibrium, calm and also wanting fairness and justice to prevail. (See our previous post on Sun in Libra characteristics for more details www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-libra-september-23-2023).

 

Sun in quincunx to Neptune often suggests that things are not as clear as they could be although when this placement of Neptune moves into direct motions (in many cases and depending on the rest of the chart), things often clear up. This can relate to relationships, goals, occupation, plans and the general direction of life and in some cases in mystical or religious terms. Again, review the house placements.

 

Jupiter tends to expand on situations, and growth is often apparent even when it is in retrograde (not as prevalent as when in its direct motion). Jupiter often brings good luck, an ease in obtaining benefits and opportunities to advance. When not operating in optimal ways Jupiter can create feelings that nothing can go wrong. Even when we make mistakes we may feel that we did not do anything wrong, and that things will eventually turn out better. In many cases this is still true but for now make your objectives practical.

A WINNING HAND

Are you playing all your (life) cards?

 

Will you play this round with the best of intensions and with a winning attitude?

 

Life is not like a card game; however, we do have to play with what we have in front of us. It is better when we understand the process and when to move ahead and when to stand back. As Kenny Rogers sang, “We have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them”. There is a strategy to life, just as there is in a game of cards. It can take time to move ahead and we learn from previous plays or in real terms from previous decisions.

 

As in a game of cards, life will throw us twists and turns and sometimes we can make things work and other times we just must accept that this is just the way things are. Attitude as mentioned countless times before is a big part in the process and we can fight the inevitable and feel frustrated or we can change our attitude and life then seems more promising.

 

Some individuals seem to be dealt a winning hand while others have many struggles along their life’s path. Do not compare your journey to others’ journeys. You only know what you see and there is much more to someone’s life than what is on the surface. Focus on your life and ask yourself, “what can I do to make things easier or better” and more importantly “what did I learn from this experience?” There are always lessons. Be ready to learn.

 

Accept your life in the moment and be open to something favorable coming your way. Formulate an action plan that will build momentum in your favor as you move along. You can expect delays and shortcomings, but you can also expect rewards and benefits you may never had dream of.

 

We can only play the cards we are dealt. What can you do to make the best of what you have in the moment? Tomorrow is another day; it is always a whole new story.

 

Remember your perception has a big influence on how you feel. If it is less than ideal, make alterations to your expectation and your focus.

 

Life might not seem as though it is in your hands but you have full control of your attitude and focus.

 

You do have a winning hand!

AUTUMNAL OR FALL EQUINOX

September 23, 2023, we (north of the equator) will experience the Autumnal or Fall Equinox at 02:50 a.m. EDT.

 

The Fall equinox (Mabon) acknowledges and celebrates the rewards of our hard labour and the gathering of our 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. Our current balance requirement 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 the shortfalls and count our losses.

 

Astrologically, the Fall equinox represents finding a balance within our self-image and within any disapproval that is found in our view of self. How can you change that disapproval to approval?

 

This is a time to review our life’s goals 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 similar to the Full Moon’s energies. It is a time to actively pursue a course of action, to take control of your life and push forward in the direction of your 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 with the harvest of your efforts or count your losses and set new things in motion. Use the energies of the equinox to push forward and make the changes you need. Address any situation that needs your focus. The time has come to move beyond any stagnated stages of life that have held you back. Now is the time to reap the rewards after a busy season of planting the seeds and nurturing growth. The efforts you put forth are now ready to be harvested.
