Transiting Pluto Conjunct Natal Saturn

Transiting Pluto has been in Capricorn between 11-15 degrees since January 2014 and will remain at these degrees until the fall of 2016.  Those individuals born from January-February of 1960 and again from June-November of the same year, as well as those born from February-July of 1989 and again those born from November 1989 to January 1990 will have their natal Saturn at 11-15 degrees of Capricorn.  This conjunction will apply to these individuals and you will have to check your ephemeris to see if Saturn is in Capricorn at a lessor or higher degree to find reference dates when this post will apply to you.

Saturn in Capricorn is a powerful position and usually provides its recipients with a high degree of business savvy and managerial abilities.  Saturn is truly gifted in this sign and will work well in business related objectives and also provides know-how if one is to rise in the world of business and climbing the corporate ladder.  For further information, check to see which house your natal Saturn resides in and you can determine which area of life this will unfold in.

When transiting Pluto conjuncts Saturn, it is often a time of tension or stress related to the area of life or house that Saturn is found.  Many areas of your life are subject to change and transformation often relating to the end of a current condition and then the beginning of a new one which will be built on a more solid foundation.  It should be understood that whatever needs to be transformed has outlived its purpose and these changes are required.  Any resistance to these challenging conditions is futile as Pluto has a powerful effect.  There will be far less hurdles to overcome if your simply acknowledge Pluto’s influence in your life and make the alterations.

Some will experience transformations from deep within their psyche and will have to come to terms with some challenging conditions found within that truly need transformation or major adjustments.  This can be a bit of a challenge as what you see might not be all that comfortable, but acknowledging the issue can bring about needed change and the start of something new in your life. 

Others will delve deep into psychological problems that stem from their early days that seem to come to the surface during this time, and they will have the opportunity to relive these times and come out the other side having a greater understanding of just how these events affected their lives.  This is the time to make changes and if you find the time too difficult to get through on your own, ask for assistance in confronting these challenging events or conditions.

There may be events or circumstances that are dragged out into the open.  Confronting these things will assist in recognizing your ability to let them go as they have outlived their purpose and may even stand in the way of transformation or regeneration in your life.  This may involve relationships or material concerns and will change the way you express yourself in some way.  Many of the changes that take place are subconscious and deeply imbedded in your personality.  Situations or thoughts will need some revamping and as challenging as this might be, the outcome is worth all of the struggles that might occur.

Stay open to change and transformation and do what must be done.  You will be new in many ways.  You will come out of this transit stronger and more resilient with the ability to face adversity head on with a new found vigor.  This transit is often accompanied with challenges but the benefits far outweigh any hardships that you may go through.  You will just have to hang on tight as the ride might be a little tumultuous.

Life's Flight

As we board a plane to travel to new and exciting destinations, we have full and complete faith in the flight crew.  They are experienced with the instruments of their aircraft, they have flight plans and they are aware of each and every variable possible that may lay ahead.  We sit, we relax and enjoy the flight.

Such is our life’s flight.  Our pure essence, our souls and our guides have our complete flight plans and they see the circumstances and the “whys” that we cannot.  The clouds of material life block our view and our understanding of the complete flight.  Our pilot will take us on the perfect path to our destination.  So often, we try to take over the controls of the plane from those that are experienced but our knowledge and visibility are so restricted we only set ourselves up to experience turbulences that only the experienced crew could anticipate.

Let go of control.  Let those with the experience guide you along your path.  Faith will allow you to enjoy your flight no matter where it is taking you. 

We cannot see the airport we flew out of nor can we see the airport where we will land.  This very moment—the flight--is all that there is right now.  Allow yourself to soar!

Astrology is Not Limited to Your Sun Sign

As we determine the characteristics indicated by the location of each planet at the moment of your birth, it is important to understand that there are many variables within the Birth chart that will affect you, much more than just your solar placement.  The Sun Sign will be reflective of your inner qualities and the Moon is your governing need expressed through its sign and house position.  There are many other influences, each altering the ingredients of your person.

For example – take a person born under the Sun sign of Pisces.  These individuals are generally gentle, peaceful and amiable, but this individual acts intrusively and demands to be the one who comes first.  In general, this individual displays aggressive behaviour.  This is quite contrary to the characteristics of the Piscean Sun Sign.  Why is this person so different from normal Pisces’ characteristics?  In this case, perhaps this individual has a strong Aries placement in their chart, with the Ascendant in Aries and the Moon, Mars and Jupiter all in Aries or in the first house.

These strong Arian characteristics will dilute the soft and gentle Pisces demeanor, perhaps to an extreme, unless this individual has learned how to curtail these strong Aries character traits and use them to their advantage. 

It should be understood that each and every one of us have the potential, regardless of our birth chart, to make any challenging aspect work in our favour.   This is the point of difficult aspects in our Natal chart.  We are not at the mercy of our Birth chart.  We are the orchestrator of our destiny and have at our disposal all of the tools within our Birth chart to activate any aspect and use it to its full potential.

Getting back to why this Pisces Sun individual displays such contrary behavioural tendencies, we must look deep within the Natal chart and examine all the aspects and placements to decipher and create a complete description of their personal makeup.  This is what makes each of us unique and one onto ourselves.  One Pisces individual will be different from the next Pisces individual because the Sun in Pisces is just a small part of their makeup. 

Deep down inside those qualities of Pisces are still very real with a Pisces Sun individual.  This individual can utilize these strong Arian character traits and use these talents to enhance their Piscean nature; perhaps through spreading compassion and spirituality by self-expression or enterprise that aids others in self-realization.  This individual would have a very strong drive and could express the Piscean nature through viable acts.

There are many avenues of expression indicated in our Natal charts.  Each planet, aspect, house, point is indicative of the tools we have available to unlock our natal potential. 

By going deep into the Astrological chart, you can uncover your true potential and your purpose behind this incarnation.  Astrology provides us with insight into and tools and meaning for our life’s pursuit, but WE always make the decisions.

Upon Reflection

As we continue our quest and revitalize our being through transformation, we will need to take time to reflect and pay heed to where we have come from and also where we are heading.  Many on this pursuit forget to take a quick glance back and often feel that they are not making progress.  Taking the time to think back on where you were even one year ago will help you to see the steps you have taken to get to where you are now.  Sometime progress is a very gradual things.  Unless we reflect, the forward motion goes undetected.

One of the lessons in spiritual enlightenment is patience.  In accepting this facet of the journey, we will understand that we only move at the pace we are meant to move at.  There will be times when we feel as though we can easily move ahead and gain greater insight and we will.  There will also be times when we feel as though we are ready to move forward and nothing much seems to happen.  This is largely due to the fact that in reality we are not ready to move forward, at least not at the speed we would like.

Imagine opening the door to perception, to recognizing our guides and to understanding the true nature of reality all at once. We need time to adjust to each new lesson.  True insight cannot be rushed and no stepping stone along the way can be missed.  We each progress at our own pace and our guides know exactly what we need and when we are ready to receive it.

Journal your thoughts and experiences.  Months later review your writings and see what changes have taken place.  You will be pleasantly surprised.

Understand and accept that life is unfolding as it should.  No amount to impatience will activate a miraculously transformation.  Self-reflection and change work as one.  Life will adjust as we manifest.  Making adjustments along the way is often a big part of the journey and we are here to open up that doorway to the subconscious and recognize the person within. 

We have been programmed by this material world to close the spiritual door.  For most of us, this undoubtedly began to unfold as we entered school and throughout life, the door was closed and then locked.  Life’s circumstances, influences from others and belief structures have lead us to where we stand today.  It takes time to allow our inner awareness to use the key that unlocks the door to true awareness.  Most of us share that innate understanding that there is more to life than meets the eye. 

We must pursue our dreams and not become dismayed when life does not unfold as we think it should.  We all move at our own pace but we all are awakening to the truth….to reality and our unfolding potential. 

Open the door to perception by believing and have faith that life is forever unfolding, moment by moment, just as it should.

Testimonial JC, Barrie, ON

The astrology chart you typed up for me is one of the most accurate and most encompassing reflections I've encountered. So much so that I had to ask a family member she had given any information about me prior to you completing the chart. I found it took quite a few read-through's to understand and digest all of the information. I think the overall presentation of the booklet is very impressive. I enjoyed how you are able to write with clarity. I found that the precision of your writings is present amongst concepts that are vague and have blurred lines. It's interesting how you are able to use astrological methods to explain various faucets of life. I was wondering as well as how you are able to write with insight into various personality traits, and if you incorporate knowledge of psychic ability to accomplish this?

I was initially interested in getting an astrology chart done because I have found myself going through an interesting phase in life, and I feel like it is important for me to understand what I'm going through, in order to prepare for the future. This booklet put into words a lot of things I have been unable to explain, and has helped me understand more about myself. Reading this definitely made me more aware of limitations I may set upon myself, and increased my awareness of obvious personality traits that I choose to ignore. I think it helps to read something like this with an open mind and ability to accept oneself despite the reaction to the negative, and know there's always room for improvement.

Thank you for making this astrology chart for me.   I found it very insightful and should prove a useful tool.

Healthy Skeptic

When standing at a proverbial new threshold with key in hand, you may find that there are times when you question this unlocking.  Our life’s venture is entering a new awakening and the unknown can be frightening and questionable. 

It is healthy to question; however, never close the door; always keep it ajar if only a little.  Closing the door to potential will never allow any further development or understanding to take place.  It is quite acceptable to not blindly adhere to new events or information as they are presented.  Allow time for the seed to germinate, digest the information and then ask, does this event or concept resonate with me?

Questioning is the mind’s interference.  Simply relying on faith to open the door is not a customary step to take for many individuals.  Releasing self from old, passed-on beliefs and opening up to new possibilities allows the seeds of new knowledge to germinate.  A seed cannot germinate in hard packed soil.  Aerate the hardpan and allow the seed the time it needs.  Our belief structures are the hardpan.  They can rob us of growth.  Non-judgement is the tool used to aerate.  Knowledge comes in.  Allow the time required for germination.  If it turns out to be a weed, you can then pull it from your life’s garden.  If it turns out to be an exotic plant, enjoy the fruits of its branches.

Much of the internal interference we experience is generally ego interruption or ego interrogation.  This is the normal function of the ego.  It is in place to protect us, at times.  We understand that the ego fights for dominance.  It fears change and the thought of losing control.  Ego will, therefore, fight to maintain its control and create fear of the unknown.

As we venture through new doorways, we continually uncover deeper facets of our being.  We begin to understand that our fears block new information that is being revealed to us from many different sources. 

The ability to recognizing the ego and the interference it can create can be difficult in the beginning, but the more familiar we become with its personality, the more readily we will recognize the lock doorways it is trying to create.

Once we have put ego in its place and have allowed the seed of knowledge to grow, the door slowly begins to open.  We should throw open the door as though we are children entering an adventure park for the first time.  We can enjoy the excitement of the new knowledge and the venture it will take us on.  We may still question but we begin to acknowledge that there really is something beyond that which we have been taught.  This is where faith begins to awaken and we make our way past the bondage that has held us back for years.  We venture forth unknowing what lies ahead in careful anticipation of locating a part of our being and spiritual makeup that has been locked away until now.

Sagittarius

The Sun will enter the sign of Sagittarius on the 23^rd of November this year.  This post will apply to those individuals born with the Sun or Rising Sign (and to a lesser extent, those with the Sun in the ninth house) in the sign of Sagittarius.  REMEMBER, the Sun (the inner person) and Rising Sign (our face to the world) are just a portion of the representation of the full individual.

Sagittarius is the adventurer, the seeker and the eternal optimist.  Those with strong Sagittarius tendencies are the philosophers of our world.   They have an innate knowledge of religious doctrines or at the very least an inclination and adaptation towards this area of life and the ability to share this knowledge with the world around them.

When life gets tough, you will surely find the typical Sagittarian forever pursuing and spreading an outlook that promises a brighter future.  Sagittarius is the eternal optimist and has good intentions.  They will assist those in need and will promote a positive approach to all of life and every corner that life reaches.  They are forever on the road of “better things just lie ahead”; and although they are often quite content with their life’s direction, they never stop reaching for the top of the mountain.

They are the philosophers of life and are ready to present a different approach to life with an ingrained knowledge that supersedes their education.  Many are on the pursuit of knowledge and will gain much in their advanced schooling.  Even those without formal education will seek to gain knowledge through life’s experiences.  There are many politicians and clergymen who have strong Sagittarius inclinations in their charts, as well as judges, writers and adventurous people who love to travel to foreign lands and learn primitive cultures in order to attain some of the previous knowledge and make that part of their repertoire. 

Many Sagittarius individuals are great lovers of the outdoors, nature walks, camping and exploring.  Sagittarius is the roamer.  Sagittarius individuals are one with nature.  They uncover nature’s secrets and exploring all of its facets.  Let them roam and you open their door to happiness and excitement.  House them indoors and restrict their freedom and you have a stranglehold on the adventurous spirit that needs to be set free.

Most Sagittarius people are well spoken and will provide you with their point of view on many subjects.  They have an inability to keep their mouths shut when wanting to express themselves.  Foot-in-mouth disease found its place within the Sagittarius expression.  They seldom have bad intentions but do speak their minds.  They could contemplate a little bit more before they open up.  This would result in less challenges by others who have their own opinions.

Sagittarians are a kind and caring people, always ready to lend a helping hand both physically and emotionally.  They have the good of everyone in mind.  These individuals challenge us to look outside the box and to find optimism and grandeur when there is little hope of finding it.

Make a Sagittarius your friend and be ready for communication and a life of adventure.  There will seldom be dull moments although they can be subject to deep introspection and times of quiet.  Enjoy your Sagittarius friend as they will always be at your side, ever encouraging you onward and forward in your life’s quest.
