DELIGHT IN TRUTH

Reflect on all of the good that life provides.  Refrain from focusing on what “you feel” you are missing in your life, or “why me” because of the difficult lessons you are learning from time to time.  We want only to focus on life’s fulfillments and the love generated from within.

 

Be thankful for your life and all its blessings.  Be thankful for that little voice inside.  Be thankful for your ability to filter thoughts and act on them.  Be thankful of the tranquility that the mind can experience through acts of meditation.  Be thankful for all interactions in life that provide you will the resources necessary to move forward with your life. 

 

Take a moment to reflect on your own personal life and all the gifts within it.  In reality, they are too numerous to try to list.  Take an honest look at your life.  Be thankful for all the challenges that life provides you with for these are your stepping stones to growth.

 

Find that place within that brings you peace and contentment and reside there whenever possible.  Be in the moment and appreciate that it exists.  Embrace your chosen life and the rewards that are ever present.  Revel in them!  Above all be thankful for your connection with life itself and the understanding that you are of the oneness that exists in all things.  Understand the truth of this oneness and know that you are an integral part of it.

TRANSITING JUPITER IN LEO

Jupiter is the planet of expansive enthusiasm and optimistic points of view.  It encompasses all that radiates on the higher octaves of life and is associated with good luck, opportunities for growth and quite often growth on a spiritual level.  It brings with it optimistic realizations and a belief in potential future opportunities that can be reflected in philosophical learnings and encompasses religious doctrines and higher philosophies.

 

Jupiter enters the sign of Leo on July 17 in 2014 and remains in this sign until August 12, 2015.  Leo is a fire sign and Jupiter in this element will trine all other planetary locations and angles in this same element.  Jupiter in aspect to any planet or angle regardless of aspect (with the exception with aspects to Saturn) depicts opportunities for growth and a positive influence in our lives.

 

Jupiter often suggests good fortune and expansion.  Depending on what area of life it affects (the planets in specific houses), it can translate into many areas of your life’s experience.  Financial opportunities or security enhancement (2^nd house), ease in communicational abilities and being able to get your point across in an optimistic manner (3^rd house) and opportunities for relationships and happiness in partnership (7^th house) are just a few areas of expansion that may unfold if you have transiting Jupiter in trine or sextile to planets in these houses.

 

Jupiter is usually a positive influence in your life but can also lead to overconfidence or laziness because things just seem to flow in a fortunate manner.  Jupiter at times can lead to neglectfulness as there can be a feeling that things can look after themselves with little influence on your part.  Jupiter has a tendency to expand everything it touches and when aspected to your ascendant especially by square or opposition, it can also inflate the waste line or overconfidence in your own abilities.

 

It is, however, a good time to make the extra effort as there are more opportunities for growth-- growth in spirituality (12^th house) opportunities, to enhance or gain recognition in your career (10^th house) or potential romantic involvement or growth to the family (5^th house) just to name a few.  If you were to push a little harder, the chances for things working positively are enhanced, especially with the trine, the sextile and most conjunctions.  Jupiter does not guarantee success and abundance in areas of life but provides better opportunities to achieve these things.

 

If there are links to the ninth, twelfth or eighth houses, the opportunities for internal growth are highly suggested.  This could be a great time of self-discovery, perhaps through travel (ninth house), through the occult and mystical pursuits (eighth or twelfth) although the twelfth may indicate changes and opportunities for growth through somewhat hidden channels, such as through the sub-conscious or through dream interpretations.  Jupiter generally provides a more philosophical approach to all of life’s endeavours.

 

To uncover Jupiter’s influence on your life in the sign of Leo, you will have to locate its transit in this sign in your Chart and its aspects to planetary placements and specific angles also in your Natal chart.  Look also into the placement of your natal Jupiter as this placement by sign and house will be enhanced and offer opportunities for growth during its transit.

IN TIMES OF DESPERATION

When you are faced with circumstances that seem to provide no outlet, there is always a place you can retreat to.  This place can be found within where solitude and peace will assist you to transpose your attitude towards the difficult events at hand.  There is a place within that provides you with what is needed to move you past life’s most difficult situations.

 

This place is found when have reached your breaking point, and you feel that there is nothing left that can assist you and push you past these overwhelming times.  The strength that you are looking for to help you overcome life’s trials and tribulations is always accessible, but usually found in the seemingly last moment.  When all else fails, you look within to find the strength to make it through that final barrier.

 

You were born for this.  Although the barriers seem too high, you always have what it takes.  Never forget this.  There is no challenge that you cannot meet or overcome; there is no wall that is impenetrable.  You are stronger than you think and the necessary strength is at your disposal. 

 

You need to face up to these challenging situations.  They help you to unfold your potential and move you forward in your intended direction.  Obstacles are stepping stones placed in your way to overcome and dissolve.  Do not underestimate your ability.  Any obstruction is matched equally with your internal fortitude and your ability to overcome.

 

Challenges are put in place to ensure that you make changes to your life and to point you in a different direction.  They force you to make transformations and adjustments and sometimes it takes that near immovable barrier to make you push a little harder and challenge the situation.  You have what it takes.  Nothing stands in your way, only your belief structures.  Challenge yourself and find the strength that is required to help you around that next corner.  It is yours to conquer.  Believe!

Delight in Truth

Holding hands, we walk this road of life together.  Let’s stop a moment and reflect on all the good in our lives.  Never take the view point that things are missing in your life, or how difficult it is from time to time.  We only want to focus on life’s fulfillments and the love generated from within.

Be thankful for your life and all its details, for the ability of the mind to function and the ability to fulfill our daily endeavors.  Be thankful for your ability to filter thoughts and act on them.  Be thankful for the tranquility that the mind can enjoy through acts of meditation, although this tranquility is generated from a deeper source.  Be thankful for the resources necessary to move forward with your life. 

Take a moment and reflect on your own personal life and all the gifts that have been presented.  In reality they are too numerous to list.  Take an honest look at your life and all that you have going for you.  Be thankful for all the challenges that life provides you with for these are your stepping stones.

Find that place within that brings you peace and contentment and reside there in the moment and appreciate that it in fact exists.  Embrace your chosen life and all its complexities as well as the rewards ever present.  Simply open your mind’s eyes to them.  Above all, be thankful for your connection with life itself and the understanding you have of the oneness that exists in all things.  Understand the truth of this oneness and know that you are an integral part of it.

SATURN RETURNS IN ASTROLOGY

The first Saturn return takes place at approximately 27-30 years of age.  The second Saturn return occurs at approximately 56-60 and the third at 84-90.  The forth return which is rarely experiences takes place between the ages of 114-118. 

The Natal or birth chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment of birth, from that moment on the planets keep on their rotational path.  Each planet eventually returns to the placement it was at on your birth, but the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) take a long time to complete their cycles.  Saturn takes between 28-29 years to complete its cycle, Uranus takes 84 years.  The other two most outer planets take much longer and we do not live long enough to experience their return.

Saturn (which will be discussed at a later date in greater detail) has a profound impact in our lives.  It produces stress and presents us with obstacles whenever it becomes activated in our charts.  It is as though we have come to a stumbling block or crossroad in our development and we are forces to take a good look at our lives in order to make some needed changes.  These times are very trying and can last a significant period of time, especially if there are other planetary forces at work during the same period.

We have touched a little on houses in previous posts and will go deeper into these areas of life later in other posts, but depending where Saturn is located in your birth chart and what aspects it is making to other planets, these particular areas of life (houses) will become activated.  The intensity and duration of the lesson depends largely on the other planets that are stimulating the area and how long they transit (transit is the motion of the planet) and what aspects (aspects are angles between planets) they make to each other.

If you are going through a stressful period and you are between the ages mentioned at the beginning of this post, this is undoubtedly due to you experiencing Saturn’s return.  Holm Astrology can review your Astrology chart to see the influences at work and the lessons to be learned during your Saturn’s return period.  We can assist you during these trying times by locating Saturn’s position in your chart, its natal aspects, its transiting aspects as well as its progressed aspects.  We can offer you insight into this occurrence that can offer assistance with the resolution of the issues.  When Saturn has completed its cycle, you can be certain that a new person will emerge with a greater understanding of self and with experiences well learned.
