Acts of Kindness

Do you carry out acts of kinds as an automatic response or is it necessary for you to purposely push yourself to show kindness to another?  In the end, does it matter if you are driven or if the action is automatic?  The importance is the outcome.

 

Have you ever sat down and asked yourself what the influence of your random acts of kindness may have been for the individuals they were directed at?........or how many unseen, countless others? 

 

Many acts of kindness are similar to watching a ripple of water made from a boat on a quiet, calm lake.  The wake from the boat, no matter how small, will continue on its path until it reaches the other side of the lake.  The reaction from a small act of kindness is very similar.  The act does not have to be something enormous to have a rolling impact.  These wonderful, random acts come from the heart and more often than not there is no expectation of anything in return. 

 

Should we not then live our lives in this fashion?  Should we not offer random acts of kindness--through in whatever form suits you in that moment?

 

Even though this act may seem insignificant to you, this has little bearing on its impact as it continues across the proverbial lake.  There is no telling where it may end up.  Perhaps all one needs is a smile or a “Have a good day”.  You are planting a seed within that person.  Even the smallest of seeds can mature into a mighty tree. 

 

There may be someone out there who needs the seeds of your action.  Never rule this out.  It IS so very possible.  Spread the joy of life by living it to the fullest and acknowledging the fact that you have life, each and every day.

The Yod or Finger of God in Astrology Part II

This post is a continuation of our post from September 16, 2014.

 

Continuing with our focus on the Yod, the focal point or planet that receives both inconjuncts is activated through transit especially when stimulated by conjunction or opposition.  When this configuration is stimulated by transit, the transformation will take place.  This transformation often presents the individual with a new way of thinking about matters related to the house where the focal planet is located.  Feelings are activated due to this new way of relating to this area of life (described by the house placement of the focal planet).

 

The individual will undergo turning points in their life and often confront predicaments or difficult and challenging conditions which are resolved through this change in awareness and perception.  These life changing experiences often produce a new life’s path or destiny, as it somehow seems fated in its nature.

 

When the individual involved uses these energies appropriately, it can lead to spiritual awareness and an understanding of the workings of the universe.  This may happen very quickly or take longer to absorb depending on the planet making the aspect to this configuration and its energies.  Uranus would alter things considerably and the alteration would happen rather quickly and unexpectedly, while Saturn would slowly unravel these events and it would take some time for the individual to comprehend. 

 

In most cases, it would take a certain amount of time for the individual to digest what has taken place to understand the extreme manifestation that has taken hold in their lives.

 

There is often a feeling of new found insights and a flowing of the energy in new directions which increases awareness.  The individual would be more centred on their mission in life than previously.  Often the events leading up to this transformation are very challenging but usually necessary.  If by chance the Natal chart has three or more quintiles linked to this or even if they are not linked, the individual often experiences a surge in the creative forces that may have been lying in dormant conditions waiting to unravel.  Creativity is often a by-product of transit to this configuration and is often linked to the house of the focal planet and area of life it represents.

Unlikely Road

As we plan our lives, we must remember that due to life’s unexpected turning points things rarely work out the way we plan.  The best laid plans often go astray because of our lack of knowledge of things to come.  This is not to say that we should not plan for our future, only that we should understand that we have to be flexible enough to adjust and make alterations along the way.

 

We plan our lives with little understanding of how it will unfold and this is why many of us are caught off guard as situations change.  We somehow believe we have control of our life’s course and to a certain extent we do, but life has a way of taking us where we need to go as opposed to where we think we should go.

 

We set out preparing and making plans early in life.  We prepare for an education which will promote a vocation that interests us.  Sometimes these plans come to fruition while other times life takes us in a completely different direction.  Needless to say, we have to adjust along the way. 

 

As we take up our careers or profession, the actual job may be quite different from what we imagined.  Again, if we are flexible and open, we can adjust to these unknown circumstances or qualities to our careers and move forward with a new attitude towards that which we have chosen to do.

 

Marriage and children can also be quite different from what you had envisioned when planning your life.  If we are rigid in our expectations, we set ourselves up for disappointment.  We must learn to go with the flow of life and accept with arms open whatever life sends our way.  We always have control over our response to what life is offering. 

 

If we remain open and realize that, in many ways, life will lead us.  We will travel the road we are meant to travel.  Strive for your goals but accept that which you cannot change.  By doing so, your life’s unraveling story will be a much easier experience.  Even when life seems unfair, understanding our purpose allows us to move forward on our intended route. 

 

We are in control on a mental and subconscious level.  Our higher self knows what is best for our evolutionary progress.  Knowing that we are always continually moving forward allows the acceptance of life’s path much easier.  

 

Have faith that you are always exactly on track--always on purpose.  There are no wrong turns and no mistakes. 

 

Adaptability, versatility and faith allow for the evolution of the person, the mind and the soul.

Yod or Finger of God in Astrology

The Yod or Finger of God is an astrological configuration that requires two planets to be in sextile with one another and then both of these planets inconjunct to a third planet.  The orb should be no more than 5 degrees in separation and the tighter the orb the stronger the emphasis is on the focal planet.  The focal planet is the single planet receiving both inconjuncts from each planet in sextile to one another.  For example, if Mars and Venus were in sextile to one another and they both inconjunct the Moon, the focal planet would be the Moon.

 

The focal planet’s sign placement defines the way in which the energy of this force needs to be corrected or re-experienced.  The energy of the focal planet (in our example the Moon which deals with emotional expression and needs) suggests that there is a need for emotional or mental re-adjustment, as inconjuncts are about adjustments.  The house placement of the focal planet is the area of life which needs to be transformed and this is where the transformation will take place.

 

The focal planet is a very delicate point because the inconjuncts produce subconscious or hidden tension, which often surfaces as physical or psychological issues until these problems are resolved.  This focal planet describes our calling or mission in life.  It often feels as though our calling with this focal planet is fated as it is something that needs developing.  The negative ramifications must be released and let go of permanently.  In turn, this will make way for the maximum manifestation of this configuration to take place.

 

The far midpoint of the two planets in sextile is considered an energy point and when activated through transit along with the focal point, the energies are released and an opportunity (which is indicative of the meaning of the sextiles) is manifested. 

 

Upon releasing the negative energies, one will experience a new way of being and often produces heightened intuitive abilities and mystical experiences.  This is particularly strong when the midpoint between the two sextiles (30 degrees from each planet in sextile) contains a planet.  This is known as a Tetradic Yod.

 

As the Yod is so in-depth, we will continue our explanation on Thursday, September 18, 2014.

Living Now

When we were born, we emerged in the moment.  Was there a concept of future or of the past?

 

Some believe that as we emerge into this physical existence, we were quite aware of our last incarnation and our spiritual connection, as well as the life’s purpose we just entered into.  This ingrained understanding perhaps holds true to living in the moment, as the present moment holds with it all past and possible future potentials.  It is believed that the past, present and future are all here now.  We somehow lose focus of this as we become veiled in our earthly moment and are focused on making plans for future potentialities.

 

To hold on to the eternal now, we focus on what is happening now.  The moment seems to slow down and we have the ability to experience life’s sometimes quick release of information and events.  We live in that moment, instead of filtering events.  Living in the moment when first put into motion can seem overwhelming for some but when this practice is habit, we can concentrate quite naturally on each event and thought as it is processed.

 

The moment is not foreign to us, as a part of us always dwells in this eternal now and is quite aware of all the subtleties that are constantly occurring around us.  We subconsciously choose to focus on specifics and hence the passage of time. 

 

Is time a manmade concept?  If you have a moment, review Einstein’s “Relativity and the Space-time Continuum” theory.  Versions similar to “Cole’s versions” are available.

 

Our concept of the passage of time adheres to our focus on particular events.  We filter through our life’s events as they unfolding.  We concentrate on certain objectives or areas of life that hold our attention.  As a result, we miss large portions of what takes place around us on a constant basis.

 

There are instances when we focus in the moment and time and events seem to stagnate or appear to slow down.  One often experiences these time passages during “approaching or near miss accidents” or in moments of enlightenment and pure joy.  Focusing on the “now” also clears the mind as the mind has a tendency to wonder and absorb events and stimuli on a constant basis.  Meditation is a viable technique to enhance the moment and still the mind, allowing the opening to other dimensions which are not common during our everyday routine focus.

 

If you are so inclined, sit for five minutes with a clock in front of you and become aware of the passage of time and how it slows down.  Close your eyes and meditate on clearing your thoughts for five minutes and watch how time passes. 

 

Time is an illusion or a concept and its passage depends greatly on the observer and their conscientious focus on that particular moment in the time and events.

 

Activate your awareness of the moment by practicing these methods.   Gradually lengthen the meditation time and pay close attention to the passage of time and your apparent concept of time.  Again to assist, you can use a timer for this experience.  Begin with small increments of time and gradually increase the span of time.  Take note of its passage.  Ten minutes one day will pass on a completely different scale as ten minutes another day.

 

Focus in the now.  Attain the moment.  This is where we are meant to live.
