Mars in Leo in Astrology

Since we are currently in the sign of Leo, we are going to look at some of the Natal characteristics of Mars in the sign of Leo.  If you have Mars in Leo or Mars in the fifth house (the fifth house is ruled by Leo), the following will apply to you.

 

If you have Mars in Leo and your Mars is positively aspected (especially if not aspected by Saturn), you are an energetic individual.  Your vitality is very noticeable and depending on your Ascendant sign, you possibly could have a strong body and enjoy physical activities.  With Mars in Leo, you love to be on the move and you are agile.  Sports can play an important role in your daily routine especially sports involving running or physical activity.

 

You truly want to be a significant individual to those that matter and will do your best to create a lasting impression.  You want to be known as someone who has succeeded and you make a great leader.  You have a passionate nature and do nothing in half measures.  You will work hard to achieve what you set out to do.  You want to be counted on and will do what you have to do to make sure others are proud of your achievements.

 

You are ambitious and you have a strong tendency to follow your heart when trying to reach your objectives in life.  If it feels right then you will pursue it. 

 

You also have strong morals and principles and will stubbornly adhere to them.  You take pride in how you live your life and would like it if others lived under the same principles as you do.  You really believe that you have to work in this life to achieve success whatever success means to you.  You are determined to succeed at whatever you set out to do.

 

You can be stubborn and domineering when you feel you are right and have great pride although your ego and pride can be your downfall.  Your strong will can help you along life’s sometimes difficult passages and will carry you far in this life.  When you use your sense of humor to your advantage, life goes your way.  You are full of warmth unless you are angered - then watch out!  The temper can be very violent and aggressive.

 

In a love affair, you are very affectionate and will shower your lover with love and compassion.  However, you want recognition for this.  You can be rather dramatic and love to have centre stage.  You will be very faithful once you decide that this is the right person for you, and you expect the same treatment.  The conversations that occur in love affairs are very direct and open.  You do not hide your intense feelings of love for another person and once again it is important that you get the same in return.

 

In general, your demeanor is generous and warm spirited, and you love with all your heart.  You take failure in love very seriously and can feel hurt very deeply.  It is important to let go of these feelings as they can bring you to depths that no one should enter. 

 

Love is a beautiful experience and you are willing to share your all in this area of life, faithfully and forever.

Meditation as a Healing Modality

There are many modalities or ways to experience or enhance healing.  One example of this would be Reiki.  Have you also considered healing through the act of meditation?

 

Most of us understand the wonderful experiences possible through meditation, but how many of us use our meditations to benefit our bodies and the bodies of those around us.  Have you practiced healing through meditation with a group of individuals? 

 

A small group of like-minded individuals or a self practice can have lasting effects on the overall condition of the body.  All that is necessary for results is faith but even if the belief structure is still relatively faint, you can still benefit from this practice.

 

There are several methods use to facilitate healing meditation although whichever one feels right and strengthens your belief structure will work best for you.  You can actually come up with your own system, as it only matters that the intent to heal is there. 

 

If necessary put on a meditation tape that is very soothing and offers you comfort and peace.  Use your normal practice of meditation and take about 10-15 minutes to get deep into your own personal meditation mindset.   Once there, focus on your body and ask your higher self and your spirit guides to assist you in creating a healthy body.  Use a mantra that suggests that you are already healthy and continue with this mantra for a few minutes to initiate the process. 

 

Focus or draw your attention to the other people in the room, if you are doing a group meditation.  Send out healing energy to each of them.  Imagine a line of energy surging from your body and aligning with everyone else’s energy in the centre of the room or a specific point that you have previously agreed upon.

 

Send loving energy to everyone in the room but use this central vertex as the concentration of this energy. Allow the energy to flow where it needs to go.    Remember you are just the vehicle for this energy and the higher sources will work through you and spread the energy to where it is most needed. 

Send this loving energy outward and know that it is not from you but a higher source.  Ego must not exist with this practice as you are only the conduit for this energy not the creator.  Healing may not be immediate but the peaceful affect of this practice will be.  The actual healing may come in different forms as the mind must first be healed in order for the body to react.  This practice can assist in the realization of why you have been stressed or ill.  With this realization, you can release the pent up frustrations or hurts that has been locked in your body and mind.

 

Regular practice will have the greatest benefits and meditation with and on self is perfectly acceptable.  You deserve to be happy and healthy.  Nothing from your past has authority over you unless you allow it to.  We all deserve healing!

Tree of Life

Child Empowerment

Welcoming New Family Members

As there are countless souls continually entering into their new incarnation, what is the significance of this new yet old forming of relationships?  There are many women in their child bearing year and I cannot image the number of women who are currently expecting a new little one.  Whether this is their first or their tenth addition to the family, the current birth holds the same importance, as each new family member is special and unique.  Each individual will bring to the table their own talents and challenges which we each will benefit from. 

 

As we are all spiritual beings living a physical existence and many of our loved ones whether they are immediate family members or close, personal friends have chosen once again to meet up and share this life together.  With this in mind, focus on just how extraordinary is it to be welcoming these returning souls.

 

Do not downplay the significance of these new born entities entering into our lives.  They are a significant part of our purpose and we will share love energies with these individuals. 

 

Look at these little entities closely when they are born.  See the old, wise soul that they actually are.  At the moment of conception or birth, are these individuals not far more enlightened than we are?  Do they not understand their purpose and their chosen journey clearly at that point?

 

Do not be afraid to ask these little one as they develop their ability to express themselves questions pertaining to the information and knowledge that they still have access to.  They are enlightened little people with a warehouse of information.  They can and will surprise, astonish and inspire you with their insight.  You will recognize the maturity and evolution of these transfigured old souls.  See beyond their childlike appearances and recognize the old and knowledgeable soul that resides within.  

 

Do not take your union with your children lightly.  It is an honor to be chosen to share with these individuals our current life’s experiences.  Look deep into their eyes and understand that they know you.  Their eyes speak volumes. 

 

Congratulations and love to all new and expecting parents, grandparents, family and friends.

Pluto Conjunct the Ascendant in Astrology

If you have a Capricorn Ascendant (Rising Sign) that is between 11-15 degrees, this post applies to you.  Pluto has been in the sign of Capricorn for some time now and has been in the 11-15 degree range since the beginning of 2014.  It will continue to be in this vicinity until well into the fall of 2016.  Those with an less than 11 degree of this Ascendant will have experience what we are about to talk about earlier, while those with more of a degree than 15 degrees Capricorn Ascendant will feel its effects a little later towards the beginning of 2016.

 

Pluto is a very powerful planet and although its affects can be very subtle during the time it is in conjunction with your Ascendant, its affects will linger on for about another 2 years after it passes over your Ascendant.

 

This will be a time of great change when you will be forced to confront elements in your life that you may have otherwise ignored or swept under the proverbial rug in the past.  You will come face to face with unacknowledged elements of your life and you will at first be asked to confront them and make adjustments.  If you choose to ignore this attempt, life usually throws something a little more abrupt your way.  Those that do not heed Pluto’s call to remedy life’s situations or personality quirks may experiences times of extreme strife during these periods.

 

You are often presented with issues from your past that have been dormant for many years and although you have been letting them slide, they have had a grip on you, even if only on a subconscious level.  You are now offered the opportunity to make adjustments or view these areas of life with more clarity and objectivity.  Pluto tends to dig up the dirt or the aspects within your psyche that you may have thought were somewhat negative or undesirable.  Now is the time to face them directly, release them and move forward into a new beginning.

 

Pluto tends to tear things down and then rebuild on a much more secure foundation.  Pluto crossing the Ascendant marks the end of a period of life and an awakening to new possibilities.  In relationships, there are often stressful conditions and you may be forced to look at the relationship from all angles.  If the relationship has been weak and needed alterations, this will be the time when these issues are confronted and either rectified or the relationship may come to a conclusion.  Strong and solid relationships will still be tested but usually come through this period stronger and on a much more solid base than before this conjunction.

 

If you find this period of confrontation overwhelming, this is the perfect time to seek professional advice to receive guidance to relieve inner tensions and to deal with anxieties that may have been challenging you especially over the last couple of years.  You will undergo great changes during this time and life as you knew it will be altered significantly when this transit has passed.  Looking back is not suggested and letting go of the old life is the best way to handle these conditions.

 

By the time this transit is over, you will understand yourself in a much clearer light.  You may come to realize that life has a purpose for you and although this period is usually quite distracting and often climatic, you will gain great insight and come out on the other side a stronger individual free from limitations of the past.  Because of the slow movement of Pluto, this aspect only happens once in your life.  For many other individuals with Ascendants that do not come into contact, they will experience the square or opposition which have similar effects.

Undercurrents of Life

When you look at the world around us, do you feel lucky to be living the life you live?  Are you fortunate to be living under such relative calm when we listen to the news and the atrocities experienced elsewhere in our world?  Many parts of our world experience constant unrest.  People die needlessly and encounter violence on a daily basis.  Just for a moment, imagine living under these conditions – experiencing the struggles these innocent people are confronted with on a daily basis.

 

Picture yourself living in one of the more poor nations struggling to find your next meal.  We could have easily be one of those people, yet for some reason we find ourselves living in our little corner of the world enjoying countless blessings that are taken for granted by many.  Yet, some still complain that their assistance (whatever this assistance may be from all of the safety nets we have in place) is not good enough.  How petty are these issues in comparison to that which those in the developing counties endure?  Perhaps the next time we complain that something is not quite the way we think it should be, we should put our circumstances into perspective and celebrate all of the freedoms and fortunate we experience daily.

 

We certainly are the fortunate ones and we have to remember this when we are experiencing one of life’s struggles.  In most cases, we can make choices to alter our life’s courses.  We have freedom of action and freedom of choice.  Should we not be thankful for our lives and offer hope to those around us?  Send those that are truly in need your prayers.  Offer them assistance in whatever way you can.  Be of help and spread love in every corner of the world that you touch.

 

It begins with you.  You create the ripple effect.  Never underestimate your part. Every act regardless of how small it is can have a reaching effect.  Live from your heart.  Spread your love.  Meditate on world peace.  Help those less fortunate wherever them may be.  Give them a smile, a minute of your time, financial support – the options are endless.  There is plenty you can do when you love!
