Suicidal Tendencies

This is a very touchy subject and one that is looked at with great respect and care. 

 

For those that have or are contemplating suicide, please share your thoughts and pain with a professional.  Please know that the only guarantee in life is change.  Often the greatest times of stress are pathways leading to the greatest rewards in life.  We have often heard it said that....”Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.”  This is a powerful statement.  Death is certainly permanent and suicidal thoughts are certainly temporary (much to the sufferer’s denial).  We have to question, however, the word “solution”.  How is suicide a solution?

 

For those that are shattered by loved ones contemplating suicide, it is imperative that you do not own someone elses’ thoughts or decisions.  You, in no way, are responsible for these thoughts or actions.  We have no control over other people’s choices.  The best we can do it to ensure them that we are there to offer love, compassion and whatever we can offer to assist on the road to recovery.

 

Our brain is an integral part of our human vehicle-- no different that our lungs or heart.  Ignoring a heart attack will not void the damage an attack may cause.  Ignoring suicidal thoughts will not create a solution.

 

Conditions in life can accelerate to the point of feeling that there seems to be no way out of the current challenging circumstances.  For you and me, we can rationalize and find that glimmer of hope that assists in turning our point of view from hopeless to hopeful.  Individuals that are suicidal believe that they are doing family members a service by ending their lives.  They feel their situations are hopeless and that no one cares.  They do not understand that the next turn in the road can move them into a completely new and different direction. 

 

Reassurance that you are there to listen, that you care and that you want them to choose life is important.  Do not be shocked by what you hear and do not judge.  Irrational thoughts cannot be rationalized. 

 

If you feel the situation is an emergency, deal with it as such. 

 

If a loved one lost control of their vehicle due to speed and you had previously warned them that speed kills, would you feel responsible for this accident?  ......of course not.  Why then, if you have been supporting someone who has had suicidal tendencies and they have lost their battle, should you feel responsible for this loss?  A terrible loss, yes but certainly not your responsibility.

 

As you care for others, be sure to care for yourself.  Always stay within your personal limits if someone is threatening you with suicide and be sure to talk to someone.  There are many help lines and groups to assist you in sharing your feelings and experiences.

Uranus in Your Astrology Chart

Uranus, the planet of revolution and sudden, often drastic change, often causes havoc in people’s lives when in transit.  It is the ruler of Aquarius, the water bearer, and is commonly known as the awakener.  Its influence functions as a huge factor in making necessary changes in your life.  Uranus makes changes in areas of life that have outgrown their usefulness and require alteration and liberation from anything that could be considered useless tradition or restrictive in nature.  It creates a desire for the new and unique, and it often produces this in unexpected and unconventional ways.

 

Uranus moves through each sign in approximately 7 years and takes a full 84 years to circle the zodiac.  During its movement, it creates quick results and a feeling of liberation and freedom from restriction.  It governs universal brotherhood and is humanitarian in its nature.  Uranus will force you to have an honest look at life’s issues and then make necessary changes.  If you choose not to adhere to what is being proposed, it often acts in a much more abrupt manner and in ways that are often out of your control.

 

Uranus is rebellious in its nature and pushes one into independent thinking with a flair for the unconventional and unique.  Uranus also has been known to produce shocking awakening when ones eyes have been closed to what is required.  It governs universal truths and intuition and anyone with strong Uranus tendencies has a unique way of translating these truths, quite often in an abrupt matter-of-fact fashion.

 

Uranus’ action is unpredictable, imaginative and also very inspirational.  It is the higher octave of Mercury and therefore is considered a planet linked to the mental process.  It deals with potential outcomes and is “future” oriented.  Uranus pushes one to come out into the open and express their uniqueness and creativity as well as advanced mental quickness and agility, similar to Mercury, although the thinking process may be considered bohemian in its nature.

 

It rules electricity and anything electronic, such as computers and technology and its newest innovations.  Uranus is anything but conventional.  Where Uranus is located in your chart will be where you choose to reveal your originality and uniqueness.  If for example you have Uranus closely linked to the Ascendant in the first house, your originality will shine through for all to see. 

 

Someone with strong Uranus influence would be considered a bit of an eccentric and they would not be ashamed of this flair as it makes them stand apart from the crowd.  Uranus will push you to be different and to be proud of it too.

Working Towards a Better Future

As we gain momentum in our lives and push towards our goals, we will be required to review our life from time to time.  During these moments, it is important to pay particular attention to our direction in life and by what means we are achieving our desired objectives.  Are we moving ahead with our aspirations with a clear plan for the future?  Are we making decisive plans to reach these intentions or are we allowing ourselves to be at the mercy of life’s directives?

 

After reviewing our current route in life, it will be apparent that we are always on course, even if we are questioning this fact.  All life events are meant to be, and we are never really off track with our eventual destiny.  We are constantly making little adjustments along our road of life and addressing these conditions, often without even being aware of the changes we are making.  Often these changes or mental adjustments are done on a subconscious level.

 

The course is set and we are on target.  We certainly will experience twists and turns along the way, but this is our life and we learn from these experiences.  We are here to learn about life’s choices and to make plans that will alter our consciousness and push us towards a more “whole” approach to life.  All these things that we consider as stumbling blocks actually enhance life’s opportunities.  Life is like an electrical current always moving along the set course.  Yes, we can shut off the switch, but in the off position the current still waits to be released and can “in a flick of a switch” continue on its course.

 

Your objective view on life and current mind frame possess future potentialities.  You mold the future by belief structures and expectations.  You can choose the path that contains many hurdles (and lessons hard learned) or you can choose the path of least resistance through acceptance.  We all learn in our own way and through our own methods.  We will subconsciously choose our best learning methods.

 

You can find peace.  It already resides within.  Accept and release it.  Everything you need is not only attainable but already exists, and this is apparent upon reflection.  Your life is in your hands.  You mold your reality.  You are in control.  Move forward with this in mind and seek out all that is relevant to the ongoing, unfolding story of your life.

Mercury Retrograde from October 4 to October 24, 2014 in Astrology

Mercury goes retrograde (appears to be moving backwards) three to four times each year.  Mercury went retrograde on October 4 and will remain in retrograde until the 25^th.  It moves through the sign of Scorpio and then back to Libra. 

 

Mercury retrograde will affect people who have Mercury retrograde in their birth charts more than those who have it direct in their birth charts.  As it moves through your horoscope make note of the house it is in.  Check to see if it conjuncts any planet or angles during its motion.  The sign it is in during this time will be reflective of mental adjustments aligned with the same sign in your natal chart.  It may also affect the area of life dictated by the house position.  Review your Mercury’s placement in your natal chart, its house position and any aspects to it.  Much of what your natal chart suggests will be the areas that are affected by Mercury’s current transit.

 

Contrary to much of the current hype circulating, Mercury retrograde is not a huge life-changing event. However, it deserves mention due to the fact that Mercury is associated with the workings of the mind.  As Mercury begins to slow down (or at least appear to slow down), some individuals experience a slowing down in daily affairs which provide an opportunity to reflect and contemplate life and its events.  It is considered a chance to go over old material that you may have ignored or left buried.  You may review decisions or make decisions although quite often the best laid plans go astray during the retrograde motion.  It is best to wait until Mercury has completed its retrograde cycle and then move forward in the intended direction.  The chances for success and for things working out after Mercury goes direct are greater.

 

Remains flexible during times of Mercury retrograde and avoid signing any agreements or written documents if possible as there is a better success rate after retrograde motion is finalized.  This is not to say that you should never make plans or sign documents if need be as often times if Mercury is not making contacts with natal planets or is not poorly aspected in the birth chart that life will remain relatively tame and there will be little interferes with plans. 

 

This is a time of self-study, a time to reflect on who you are and what steps you might take to improve the self.  During this time period, individuals experience something from the past that returns or alternatively, perhaps a lesson not well learned or a concept that may have failed due to some shortcoming will resurface.  You may have the opportunity to make alternate plans or changes and correct judgement calls or errant turns when Mercury returns to direct in motion after October 24.

 

People and personal ideas are often the key to moving ahead in the proper direction.  Some experience insights on alternate levels that propel them forward in a new direction.  In most cases, (unless highly afflicted in the natal chart and afflicted in the transit through connection with planets or angles) this is not a time to be overly concerned as very little may actually happen. 

 

Use this time to activate your mental process as this will be stimulated and you may discover ways to improve your relationships with others, especially during the time when Mercury is in the sign of Libra, around October 11 and especially after it moves direct again from October 25 to November 9 at which time it will move into the sign of Scorpio.

Thank you

We would like to send out a special thanks to all of you who participated in our second Semi-annual Focus on Inner & World Peace on September 26, 27 & 28.  With our jointed efforts, we have sent out a clear energy message of our concerns for self and for all of our brothers and sisters of this world through our own particular expression.  Thank you for all of your intentions and work towards fostering a better place for each of us to live both inside and out.

 

It is hard to say how the ripple effect has impacted the lives of those that we have touched, but suffice to say that our intention was genuine and came from a place of love.  As we sends out these rays of hope, love and positive intentions, these wonderful expressions returned to us.  Remember, today we are the seeds of tomorrow’s fruit.  Our reality consists of our thoughts, expressions and intentions.  Live, breathe and be the change that you meditated and/or prayed for.  Live, breathe and be the love that “is” on a constant basis in our lives. 

 

It is Holm Astrology’s firm commitment through our focus and writings to continue to send out messages of love and compassion into our world and to spark self reflection.

 

Again, thank you everyone for joining us to promote inner and world peace.  Please keep these great intentions flowing.

Psychic Abilities

We are all born with psychic potential.  Each of us possesses our own innate abilities.  As we mature and go through puberty, many of these inborn traits have been pushed aside due to our childhood conditioning.  Most people, in general, look at these abilities as being odd or that they make us different from the norm.  Unfortunately, many of us feel it is necessary to try to fit in with the crowd and bury or hide our individuality.

 

By the time we reach early adulthood, many of these psychic enhancements have been pushed aside or buried and lie dormant within us.  For most, their focus is only on the material necessities of life and this part of their awareness is restricted to subconscious awareness.  Deep down inside we realize that in some way we are unique yet in reality, we are all quite similar.  We are far less unique then we may want to admit for we are all connected. 

 

There are some and they are usually in the minority that understand that these psychic tools we are born with can remain intact on a conscious level and there are others that later in life choose to redevelop this potential.....the awakening process.

 

Allow your true self to grow.  Use your gifts to move you in your intended direction.  Share your gifts lovingly and appreciation them.  Be thankful even for the challenges they may create for these challenges serve only to make you stronger.
