OUR TETERING WORLD

Some days it is overwhelming to listen to the news.  It would appear that our world is teetering in many ways on the brink of ruin with the many world leaders playing a major part in this evolving story.  Sometimes it is hard not to question if there is any point in our efforts to promoting peace.  Each of us has our little circle of friends and acquaintances and our small seemingly insignificant part to play. 

Although you may consider your part unimportant, you should have a look at the ripple effect from your efforts.  Sadly, we rarely receive feedback and we feel as though our efforts slip by the wayside with little if any effect. 

Stop focusing on the big pictures.  Take a look at your microenvironment.  Can you see a pattern of your own immediate environment evolving?  Does life seems to be changing and synchronizing with what is taking place within?  If so, you are on the right path.  Each of us adds to the ripple effect.  Many of us through joint effort can change our ripple to a wave and so forth.  Although the world at large seems distraught and caught in a web of confusion, dismay and even destruction, your efforts assist in the transformation in your own little microenvironment which eventually will ripple out on a global scale.  It is important to understand that external change and transformation only begins to surface when we are beginning to alignment internally.

It is imperative that you keep focused on your objectives and push towards inner peace and balance.  Meditate on how you would like your immediate environment to respond to your efforts.  Create that change regardless of the time element and regardless of the ever wanted instant gratification that many individuals seek. 

Inner transformation takes time and great effort.  Go beyond positive thinking to transform your world.  Along with positive reinforcement, channel your thoughts in directions that enhance what it is you are attempting to create.  It has taken you your whole life to reach the summit that you are now standing on; therefore, you can imagine that it will also take time to transcend this life into what you want it to become in the future.

We are living examples of our environment and we are certainly imperfect beings, but we can mold ourselves through perseverance and focused energies towards the direction of our choice.  We are only held captive by our belief structure and our expectations.  Release yourself from the grips of the past and open up to your potential future.  It begins with you.  YOU activate the ripple effect in your life and in our world.

We may feel insignificant, but in the grand scheme of things, we all move as one force and our numbers are expanding.  We are reaching out to others that are open to this channel of expression.  Regardless of life events, we always have a choice of whether to let life sweep us away or slowly gain control of our own private destiny.  Never give up.  Always push forward and as time passes, you will begin to see small glimmers of hope and potential growth.  Hold true to yourself and persevere.  The challenges life hurtles at us build inner strength and stamina.  We will persevere and we will open that door to true perception which is available to everyone.

RETROGRADE MOTION OF PLANETS IN ASTROLOGY

Retrograde motion is a phenomenon that actually occurs quite frequently in our heavenly skies.  Our Earth is tilted on its axis at 23 ½ degrees and the planets are in a continuous motion in the skies.  They rise in the east and set in the west due to our Earth’s rotation.  The planets in our solar system travel along the ecliptic and because of our Earth’s rotation move from west to east.

At some point in this rotation the planets appear to slow down and actually stop their movement in the heavens, this phase is known as the stationary position, and then appear to move backwards and this is termed retrograde motion.  This is only an appearance and does not actually happen.

During these times of retrograde motion and it can last from a couple of weeks to several months depending on the planet involved, if the placement of the planet moving into retrograde makes an aspect to one of the planets in the Birth chart something is defined.  What is defined depends entirely on the aspect involved, the planets involved along with the houses that become activated during this motion.

Quite often a planet such as Pluto will go into retrograde motion and then begin to move forward again and then go back into retrograde two or three times before it remains direct and passes beyond that linking degree with the planetary force it touches.  The first contact when a planet goes retrograde is always the most intense period.  It is as if something has been activated and we act accordingly.   Each subsequent contact is less intense and the final contact is usually associated with coming to terms with whatever took place upon original contact.

A contact with Pluto to an angle, especially the Ascendant or the Midheaven can have a profound effect on our being.  Often the retrograde motion lasts a month or two and then passes over the same degree only to go retrograde again and pass over the same degree again.  The total orb of influence can last six month to one year.  This will transform whatever is being suggested through the sign on the angle and aspects from other Natal positions.  Great transformations occur during such incidents and individuals will go through changes both internally and externally that alter their lives often permanently.

To find out more on retrograde planets in your Birth chart or retrograde planets affecting planets or angles in your Chart, you will have to locate these movements in an ephemeris.  Further delineation can be defined by having a Chart prepared when there are these influences affecting your life, which is relatively a common experience.

The Fifth House in Astrology

The fifth house in Astrology deals primarily with the act of pursuing enjoyment and pleasure in life.  This can be found through many avenues of expression.  The greatest of these expressions is found in the ability to express oneself without prejudgement and with ease.  This is often released when the fifth house is activated through artistic endeavours such as dance routines or through a pursuit in music.  Acting is also connected to the fifth house, and in many cases, many well-known actors of today have strong planetary influences linked to this house.  It is the house of creativity.

The eleventh house is connected to love received and the fifth house has to do with love given.  This house is an expression of love that is given through romantic love affairs, although not linked to marriage.  Marriage is a further continuation of love and is linked to the seventh house.  The love given also can be spread through the love we have for our children and this house often speaks of our children and procreation. 

Those with strong connections to the fifth house, either through planetary influences found in this house or by planets making aspects to these planets or the ruler of the fifth house cusp, will display many of these characteristics. 

As defined, this house is the house of pleasure and in many cases is also associated to gambling, speculation and a willingness to take financial risks. 

The fifth house basically speaks of emotional enhancement through acts of playful interaction which provides enjoyment in our lives.

Teaching abilities are also part of the fifth house foundation and anyone with a creative flair can do well in areas where you can teach others your personal expression of art. 

Those with strong energies linked to this house express some Leo characteristics as well, as the fifth house is naturally ruled by the sign Leo.  For example, an individual with a Capricorn Sun with strong planetary links to the fifth house will be much more flamboyant and fun loving than the usual security minded Capricorn.  The Capricorn tendencies of working to make a name for themselves may still be prevalent, but many of their gifts would be found in areas where their self-expression can take them up that ladder of success which success is so essential to many Capricorn individuals.  The Capricorn individual with the heavy fifth house influence would not be as serious and would take chances and would be much more fun loving than the traditional Capricorn individual.

To find out more about fifth house strengths and challenges look to the planetary influences connected to your fifth house and its ruling planet.

Close Family and Friends

Have you ever sat down and thought about your acquaintances and your close family members.  What is their purpose? 

You undoubtedly have come to terms with friends coming and going in your life.  What was the reason for their “being” at that particular time?  What did you learn and what was shared that made that connection important?

 

Long term close friends certainly play an important part in our life.  Besides comradeship and the sharing of special times, they sometimes seem to know just what to say in times of stress or during the questioning stages that we all go through.  They have been brought into our lives for specific reasons and if you look deep, you will uncover some of the answers.

Most seem to fade away for some reason and some leave us unexpectedly.  They must have served their purpose.  We gained a little insight and growth from each one of them and carry a part of who they were with us (through their influence or impact) as we continue on our journey without their physical presence.

There are the few, the very few that have a lasting quality and we share much of our lives with these individuals.  We grow together and share our experiences together.  They are the special ones; the ones that have undoubtedly linked up with us in previous incarnations.  Pay special attention to these individuals.  They have something specific to teach us and the lesson is, more often than not, found within their personality.

Our close family members also have a special role to play.  These people too have undoubtedly shares previous incarnations with us.  In several cases, we have shared lives many times with these special individuals.  I am not suggesting that these relationships are easy ones as those individuals that we do not see eye to eye with are the ones that can offer the most profound lessons in life.

It is not always under pleasant conditions that we are joined, but sometimes the hardest but most successful lessons come through these channels of learning.  We learn to adapt to these people and love them even when we have issues with them.  In most cases our loved ones are special.  We share much of our lives and could not image living without them.  Whether you relationships are easy flowing or difficult, appreciate the growth that is found through your experience with them.

Count your blessings each day.  Pay attention to your relationships with each person around you.  You might be pleasantly surprised.  After close examination, you may come to a new understanding and appreciate them in ways that you did not before.  They walk the road of life with you.  Enjoy the company.

Amazing!" B.B.
