As an intuitive Astrologer, I love to share my astrological knowledge acquired over years of study and hands on chart preparation. I believe that in order to experience growth along our earthly journey that spirituality should be blended into our daily living. As a result, I also share my "Food for Thought" writings which are inspirationally received. "You can accomplish anything in life if armed with the right attitude & tools. My wish is to provide a useful tool."

The Birth or Natal chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the instant of your birth. It is a diagram of the precise planetary placements which is reflective of you and a roadmap of your potential and lessons possible in life. Each planet represents a quality linked directly to you (a character trait if you will) that differentiates between each and every individual. There are no two charts that are precisely the same. Even when someone is born in the same year, on the same day and at the same moment, their location of birth will differ. As a result, the overall personal characteristics change. How much of a change depending on the distance between their birth places.
The planets fall into houses. There are twelve in all, circling the horoscope. Each house is significant as they represent an area of your life’s focus. The planets located within these houses will have an impact in that area of life. With several planets located in a particular house, there will be an emphasis in that area of life.
For that instant at birth, the planets are frozen in time to create the reflection of you. This is your Natal Chart and the location of the plants will never move. Once the Natal or Birth Chart snapshot has been taken, the planets continue to move around the chart. Picture your Natal Chart with a second chart placed over the top indicating the current location of the plants. Planets all move at different speeds. Each planet takes a different length of time to move through the houses. Some of the outer planets (further distance from the Sun) move extremely slowly and will only go through 3-4 houses in your lifetime. When these outer planets (and inner planets to a lesser degree) enter into each house, they move across what is referred to as the house cusp. This cusp point is the strongest area of the chart, unless there are planetary forces located within those houses. This area of life represented by the house will become intensified during these cusp times and the nature of the planet will be enhanced.
If there are planets located in these houses in the Natal chart, the current planet moving through the house will rest on that Natal planet and interconnect, or link with its energies which in turn will influence your life. The current movement of Planets is called Transit and Progression. There are several different connections that they can make with the birth planet location. These connections are known as aspects.
The planetary locations at birth do not change and the angles between these birth planets will not change either. These interconnections define our personality and our challenges and opportunities that we are born into. Over time, they will manifest and when the transits and progressions make aspects to these birth planetary positions, they activate the birth potential.
Some of these birth aspects are challenging and when transiting planets touch these areas in your Chart, they either aggravate the life issues or present opportunities to make amends with these difficulties. When these interlinking planetary influences are in easy aspect with one another, they indicate opportunities that should be taken, or opportunities that just seem to fall into your lap. There are always lessons to be learned and during these transits we are forced or challenged to take a closer look at the alternatives we have and what we can do with these issues at hand that are ready to manifest into our current life.
Astrology never dictates what actions we will take, but does offer suggestions on how to handle the planetary energies and how long they will infiltrate our lives. We always have control of our destiny and Astrology tells what to expect and possible alternatives to situations in our lives.

PEACE AND TRANQUILITY
Are in search of peace in your life? Do you wonder where peace is found?
First and foremost you must stop searching outside of “self” for peace. It must originate internally before it can be found externally. You generate the peace you experience in life through your reaction to life’s conditions and events.
Our lives are rarely eventless for any length of time. At times, we struggle with life events and our continual unfolding story. Events in life, on occasion, take us by surprise, and we deal with circumstances through spontaneous reaction. The initial reaction is not what is in question, as we are often not mentally prepared for some circumstances but please remember, through practice, we can even take control of our initial reactions.
Once the initial reaction has been experienced, we have time to think things through. We can change our attitudes towards any given situation which in turn helps to take the sharp edge off events. We come to terms more efficiently. We must remind ourselves that we are on course. The act of holding onto hurt or challenges serves no purpose. We are continually training our mental reaction to external stimuli and as time progresses, this mental exercise becomes more automatic and more beneficial.
Our quest for peace and tranquility slowly merges with our reality and we link up with our intended path. Our direction and newly trained instinctual reaction produces a state of peace and tranquility. We no longer attach ourselves to potential shortcomings and release and move away from hurt more quick. Peace and tranquility come from that place within each of us that accepts life and all its bumps and bruises along the way. It comes from knowing that within those challenging experiences lie a place of learning and an uplifting of consciousness.
Peace and tranquility are not places that are found through searching. They are affects experienced by you from discarding old, unacceptable codes of behaviour. They are experienced as a result of your reactions that allow the positive feedback required to meet the demands of peace.
Move into a peaceful state by accepting valuable lessons, by spreading love and by caring for those that you come into contact with daily. Sharing love with close encounters actually spreads the love energy outwards for the greater whole. By doing your part to contain love internally, the automatic response is to release it. Your attitude and generosity of love is the required ingredient to find that place of peace and tranquility.

PLUTO IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MIDHEAVEN
In our last Astrology post, we touched on the Conjunction aspect and its impact on the Birth Chart. Going one step further but staying with the Conjunction, we will touch on the planet Pluto and its Conjunction to the Midheaven or MC. The Midheaven is indicative of your outer goals and aspirations as well as your occupation. At times, it is also connected to the parents.
Pluto as described in a previous post, breaking down structures in order to rebuild them with a stronger, more secure foundation in its place. The action of Pluto is neither insignificant nor restrained and when Pluto is making as aspect, you are well aware that something is going on. It is often connected to power struggles and transformations, as it seeks to change situations and basically takes control on some level.
If your midheaven is between 8-12 degrees of Capricorn, Pluto has been playing havoc with you for at least the past year. It will soon be out of orb, but the ramifications and alterations that have taken place may not be fully understood or completed for another year.
This conjunction of Pluto with your MC is considered an extremely important transit and is often life altering, in that it will affect the direction of your life. It will bring to the forefront personal issues dealing with your life’s direction. Issues connected to where you are going in life and what you are doing with your life have prominent roles now. There is a great deal of internal confrontation that takes place as well as a deep period connected with what you want to do with your life.
Frequently, the areas of career and family, as well as relationships, come under great scrutiny during this aspect and if changes need to take place, these changes will happen under this influence. Often during this aspect, the parents experience great transformations that may affect you personally. The home environment is often a source of irritation and confrontations. There are possible endings of some sort that will take place. Once the changes have happened, there will be a much more solid structure and these changes, as you will understand later, were required changes.
Pluto tears down and removes structured ways of living that are now holding you back from regenerating your life. Many of the changes that will take place are necessary in order for a redirection, if you will, of your life’s course. New interactions and connections will be brought into your life which are necessary in order for you to get where you need to go.
In general, Pluto’s action is very abrupt and difficult. It will demand your attention. There is no escaping its action as it is inevitable. At the same time, this action under this aspect is necessary for continued growth. Find out where Pluto, the planet which tears down and transforms, is empowering you in rebuilding your life.

Sharing out Thoughts
As you experience each day, understand the concept of sharing. You may feel that the day is yours and yours alone but it is imperative that you realize that you share this day with countless other individuals who may just cross your path or are sharing the same experience.
Your thoughts influence others, as do your vibrations. Every interaction has a reaction on everyone. Pay attention to how people react around you when you are happy. When you radiate this happy energy, they are impacted by your influence and the energy field around you. In the alternative, pay attention to the influence you have on those around you when you are angry and sending out negative influences into your environment.
On an even difference level, focus on the shifts you go through during your day and the thoughts that enter and leave you just as quickly. Do you ever question where some of your thoughts come from throughout a day? Have you ever noticed how a thought enters but has nothing whatsoever to do with what you have been thinking or doing? It just comes out of nowhere, sinks in and then moves on. What was your reaction to this foreign thought? Often times, you will find that you think of an option, solution or an alternative to the thought that has spontaneously entered your focus.
This is the unconscious mind filtering other people’s thoughts and providing them with some resolution to the query or an option on an action to take. As you pick up on other people’s mental interaction, you send out valuable input that may make no sense to you but will provide information to others and aids them in their confusion.
We share this earth and share our experiences. Simply by being in a positive state, you can assist your own world and impact others around you. We, as individuals, may be of one mind and body but we interact on other levels with everyone constantly. It is important, therefore, that you always focus on what kind of energy you are sending out. Ensure that you offer assistance and gentle energy that will help those that are struggling or may not have begun their individual personal awakening.
Every thought is significant, but do not allow yourself to become overwhelmed from all of the thoughts that go through your mind as many may be coming from outside sources. Your current mental state is on course with your development. If you feel off because of the mind’s interference, do not be alarmed. Channel that energy outward as positive reinforcement.
Allow your channel to be open through acceptance and belief in self and in all that is possible. If you close that door, you stifle your ability. If you allow yourself to be inundated by all of the thoughts that affect your consciousness, (believing that each and every thought comes only from you alone), you become victim to outside influence due to your lack of filtering. You will identify with negativity and make every thought and energy your own. This allows you to be swept away or overwhelmed with others’ energy.
We have the potential to channel all mental energy coming through our mind and can send out positive reinforcement by being that agent of constructive and encouraging influence in our world. Remember we walk this world as one. Join forces and help mold our world into something progressive.

Your help is Needed
Because of the situation in the Philippines, we thought it important to re-share the blog post from Monday to ask for your donations and/or prayers for those who need your love!
We would like to take a moment to reflect on the horrific typhoon that recently brought destruction and cataclysmic mayhem to the people of the Philippines. It is difficult for us to comprehend the magnitude of this destruction and the aftermath for these people. The loss of life and devastation that these people are suffering is horrendous and together as one, we would like to offer our condolences to those affected.
The power of nature puts many things into perspective and helps us to understand just how fragility life truly is. In the wake of such power, what can we as individuals do? The force of nature and its power is unsurpassed and its effects are felt by those that experience it for a very long time.
What can we do to assist this country and its people? What do they need? We can offer assistance in the form of donations to recognized charities that will in turn provide funds for what is needed to keep these people alive. Is it our obligation to assist however we can? We are all united with our fellow man, and through financial sacrifice, we will help to share (even if just in a minute way) in the recovery of this disaster.
The Canadian have promised that for every penny donate by our citizens in aid of these victims; it will match the donation if made to a recognized charity. Many other governments are also doing their part through matching donations or providing military assistance including the USA, UK, China to name a few. To put a donation into perspective, it is possible that by giving ten dollars, you could potentially provide ten people with their water requirements for up to a week. Any amount would help and you will save lives.
For those of you that struggle to put food on your own tables, your prayers would be a wonderful gift. Never underestimate the power of prayer. There is power in numbers and together we can do wonders. Join us in our humanitarian efforts and provide these people with the care they so desperately need.
We ask that you share this post with your friends to help spread this quest and to touch as many people as possible. Let us all join hands as one human race and offer assistance and prayers for the people of the Philippines.
