KARMA

There are many individuals that seem to struggle through life and have their fair share of trauma.  Often we question why these types of events seem to come into our lives.  It is difficult to say why one soul has chosen a life of challenges and struggles and the next soul seems to glide through life with relative ease.

 

Some blame life’s difficulties on karma and that which has been brought forward into this life to settle the score, if you will.  This may hold a great deal of relevance and could certainly bring clearer understanding as to why some struggle while others do not.  Be that as it may, generally, most of us have little access to information on our pasts and we cannot recall past lives with ease.  Through continuous practice of meditation and through past life regressions however, these avenues of enlightenment are certainly reachable.

 

It hardly seems “just” to be riddled with karma from past lives especially when we are unaware of our actions in the past.  It should be clear that karma is the influence today of actions or lack of actions from the past.  Karma does not just have to be challenging conditions.  We are also influenced today by our positive actions of the past.  It is important to pay our dues but just as important to be grateful for all of our blessings.

 

There is a lot of evidence that supports the existence of Karma whether it is the influence of your actions from past lives or the influence from your actions of this life.  

 

Live your life with good intentions, through love and with a focus on the positive in your life. 

 

We recognize that our mind’s focus has great influence on our life.  By focusing on the happy and gratifying moments in our life, we are open to and invite more of the same for the future.  With continued practice of focusing our minds, we can awaken to the power of positive influences in our life and actually draw these types of things in on a continuous basis.  We have not been placed into this incarnation to suffer and continually be influenced by past lives.

 

You owe it to yourself to bring forward the positive influences that are yours.  By living through good intent now, you reduce the challenging karma that you may have to endure in the next lifetime. 

 

Is it possible for your present Karma to be acknowledged and earned/paid in this life?  As a result would it leave nothing or relative little but constructive Karma to influence you in the future? 

 

This is your life to live.  Accept what comes your way without judgement and do not categorize the “why” behind life’s experiences.  Bring constructive potential into this life through focus and influence what you bring into your next incarnation by today’s intentions.

NORTH NODE CANCER IN ASTROLOGY

As we have now moved into the sign of Cancer, we thought we would share a line or two about being born with a Cancer North Node.  As defined in an earlier post, the North and South Nodes depicts past incarnations as well as the present incarnation.  The Nodes point out what we are here to accomplish in this life and what we should be staying away from.  The North Node is our destiny while the South Node deals with the past lives and what we have brought forward into this incarnation.

 

With the North Node in Cancer, the South Node would be in Capricorn.  The North and South Nodes are always directly opposite one another.  With a Capricorn South Node in a past life, you would have been attuned to business and public status.  You may have had influences into world affairs and you may have been the one making laws that others had to follow.

 

Now with the North Node in Cancer, you have come into this life to move away from a career focus and are to discover what family life and nurturing is all about.  This does not mean that you are to step back from financial obligations.  It suggests that you have come into this life to create a balance between the two.

 

Most individuals with this Nodal position have difficulties opening up to feelings of nurturing and are here to learn the art of both giving and receiving through love and compassion.  In their younger years, these individuals might still have been consumed by the South Node tendencies and it would have been easy to remain cool and somehow detached especially when it came to emotional issues.  As they mature, they will notice that emotional confrontations are part of life.  Individuals with the North node in Cancer will have to learn to deal with these issues and locate places within themselves that allow them to be more sensitive to the feelings of others.

 

In a past life, their emotion response was restrained to a great extent and they were consumed by material advancement.  Now although still caught up in the material world, they have come to into this life to experience a more sensitive side of life.  Many will develop psychic inclinations as they begin to open up inner channels to this very sensitive and intuitive side of their being.  Letting go of material abundance and the want to move forward in their career will eventually allow a more psychic and mystical approach to enter into their being.  This capabilities are always there but they will have to open up the channels to this area of self-discovery.

 

Many with this combination left the family security early in life to find out more about life and material ambition.  As they mature, they will eventually form a family and create a solid foundation where their loved ones can be safe and secure.  This is important to them and certain part of the North Node in Cancer objectives.  These individuals are here to nurture and take care of others and as time passes, they will find great contentment in uncovering this more gentle side of themselves.

 

If you have your North node in Cancer and you find it more easy to deal with sensitive issues, you are on the right path.  If you find that you are drawn towards material security and making a name for yourself and developing your career opportunities, you are working out of the wrong end of your nodes.

Integrity

How we live our lives is reflective of what our lives will provide us with.  As our evolving story slowly unfolds we have opportunities to move forward with integrity, learning, discovering, loving and sharing just to name a few things.  Never underestimate your potential for “intentional” good.  We mold our life through our interaction with others.  Through this interaction, we are provided with opportunities to unleash our future karma – good or trying.

 

An integral part of the journey rests within the constant flow of life’s events which challenges us to make decisions that will affect our future.   Karma unfolds and we at times walk on the path of developmental tensions in order to facilitate our potential fate.  There is an ongoing gate of opportunity that allows us to open up to truth, to love and to compassion.  We are the manufactures of these qualities and we can utilize these qualities on each and every living thing that we meet.

 

It is essential to be the best person you can be, to move in your intended direction with foresight and live your life according to the standards that you have set for yourself.  There are stumbling blocks along life’s journey that assist you in your personal development and provide you with challenging conditions so that you begin to understand the power of the mind.

 

The mind’s reaction to stimuli that enters your life and through the manipulation and control of the mind’s focus, you will draw events to you.  You challenge your interaction with events by facing difficulties head on and putting these challenges into their rightful place.  Do not dwell on life’s hardships.  Challenges are not meant to deplete your growth.  They are in place for you to overcome and absorb the necessary information that you can use immediately or at a later date.

 

Live with integrity.  Stimulate and expand your life by drawing attention to all the good within it.  By doing so, you will draw more of the same.  You were never intended to live your life by someone else’s standards, but you certainly need to follow your own.  Listen for guidance that comes through many different channels and use your innate perception to follow what feels right.  Honor your truth and live within the confines of love.  Generate peace and happiness into your life through gentle guidance of your attitude and perspective.

TIMING OUTER TRANSITS IN ASTROLOGY

We have been asked to explain the timing of the outer transits to Natal placements in the horoscope.  Uranus, Neptune and Pluto move through the heavens very slowly.  Pluto and Neptune often only move 1 to 3 degrees per year.  The normal influence of transits of the outer planets to Natal placements (Ascendant and Midheaven) and Planets is approximately 3 to 5 degrees approaching and then usually 2 degrees separating. 

 

The influence of these transiting planets is often subtle as they approach and then intensify as they move closer to being direct.  When they are within 1 degree of orb in aspect to the Natal placements, their influence intensifies and becomes quite apparent.  When they are within tight orb, (1 degree or less) look to transiting Mars, the progressed Moon and even the progressed Sun to stir up activity in the areas of life (houses) that are being activated.

 

These influences will make an aspect to the Natal planet being affected by the transiting outer planet and activate or cause something to occur.  This will tighten the timing factor significantly and are used in conjunction with a Solar chart (a look at the upcoming year) to ascertain a common denominator for potentially events.  Transiting Uranus, when exact to its Natal position, often creates some action in the area of life that is being affected even by its self with no other influences.

 

You must also take into consideration what other Natal planets are connected to the Natal planet being transited by these outer planets.  If there are other factors in the Natal chart (for example transiting Pluto is conjuncting your natal Venus and Venus natally is aspected by Mars and Saturn), the transit of Pluto will also affect these planets.  The influence of Pluto will not be over until it is out of orb with Mars and Saturn as well in this example.

 

Using this information will offer much assistance in locating a time when action or internal adjustment might take place.  If you use this method, it helps to narrow down the time frame for that specific event even though the affects of the outer planet has an influence during the whole period of time.  You will have a much better idea of timing for these possible events.

THE SHIFT

Take a close look around you.  Are people around you changing or shifting their attitudes or is all basically remaining the same?  What is your current situation? 

 

Do you find that your attention seems to be shifting from outside interactions in your daily life to a more inward reflection of higher principles?  Are your thoughts directed towards material gain or is there a spiritual connection forming?

 

If you are beginning to take note of these transformations, understand that you are not alone.  There are countless others experiencing this shift of consciousness.  Many are talking about a grand scale, world-wide shift.  More and more individuals are taking note that the relentless pursuit of financial gain and the fulfillment experience from this pursuit is very short lived and far from satisfying.

 

There is a shift and we are all part of it.  It begins with a stir from within in our consciousness and a desire or need for more.  Most of us understand that there is more going on in this life than meets the eye and a constant yearning is being experienced.  To satisfy this hunger, we must open the channels of our deeper perception.  We are on the move and awakening together in large numbers although each of us is at our own levels of awareness.  We are, however, all moving in the same direction.

 

This shift is centred within but as it begins to unfold, we also realization that the internal shift resonates to our outside world.  Many individuals are performing many different practices such as meditation or are involved in groups to assist in this awakening process.  Even friendships are changing and there is a more open dialogue between people.

 

As we walk this road of life together, allow the experience to be awe inspiring.  Enjoy the wonderment and the beauty and stay true to your inner self.  Understand that this unfolding comes from the deepest reservoir within your psyche.  You are regaining your connection to all that is and your calling is unfolding as self-realization unfolds.  Spread your wings and fly!

Holm Astrology Testimonial

Thanks Peter for my birth chart report; truly inspiring and enlightening. Your insights were so amazing and resonate totally with me. Much to digest and of course, I will be re-reading my report again. So glad I came to you for your valued services.  Much appreciated. Domenic R.

OUR CONNECTION WITH MOTHER EARTH

As we slowly unravel our connection to our fellow man/woman, we also need to take into consideration our oneness with the earth.  We have a unique connection with nature as it enhances our emotions and stimulates us when we take in its “natur”al beauty.  Our world is vast and complex and addresses all the needs of each of the inhabitants of our earth.  Our planet has a mothering quality and constantly nurtures its inhabitants to sustain their existence. It is amazing to observe the constant growth of all the necessary ingredients to keep life flourishing.

 

Remove yourself from the concrete barriers of our gigantic cities with their human-made lavish furnishings and fabricated luxury.  View the calm and serene mountain-side or a flowing river, or the vastness of the Ocean.  These gentle slops and vast exposures are breathtaking and did not need our influenced to be that way.

 

The beauty of a snowflake and natural curvatures found in a wave as it gently moves across a lake are all splendors of nature and they share their serenity with anyone who is open to their experience.  We are the simple observers.  We merely need to allow these sensations to envelop us.  Find a place of solitude during times of strife.  Watch as nature gently moves you away from your focus of aggravation without the aid of any substance or even a calming word. 

 

Nature speaks in volumes.  It stills the mind.  It leaves you in a sense of wonderment and you can become lost in its beauty.  We are part of nature.  It is this connection that allows us to experience natures’ calming spirit and to soften our turbulent experiences.  Meditate in nature and listen to the whisper of the wind hustling through the trees.  It is anything but silent, yet moves us to a place of peace.  The breaking of waves on the shoreline calms our nerves and eases our concerns, naturally.

 

It is not by co-incidence that we call our magnificent planet, Mother Earth.  It provides us with all the sustenance we need and offers comfort during time of trouble.  It gently speaks to us in a tongue that is understood by us all.  This is our home.  It exonerates our stress simply by allowing us to release through its very beauty. 

 

There is always an outstretched hand to strengthen us during our times of trials and tribulations.  Be thankful for all of its blessings.  Understand your unique connection with our beautiful world – our Mother Earth!
