New Relationships

For those that are in a significant, special or any relationship for that matter, it is important to share and express your feelings, opinions and experiences.  By opening the door to your intimate feelings and thoughts, you allow the transformation required to transcend the relationship to the next level. 

Many of us have experienced tumultuous relationships where sharing information of our inner self might not have been beneficial and because of these past experiences, we may now feel that in sharing personal feels much of the same that was previously experienced will occur again. 

In order to activate the bonding in a new relationship however, it is important, even though we may feel uncomfortable or worried that we may get hurt or used in some way again, that we share our inner self in order that our relationships not stagnate and eventually disintegrate because of this fear.  We have to realize that conditions from a past relationship no longer hold true for our new ones.  These new relationships undoubtedly will offer a new definition of what a meaningful relationship should look like.

Fear is often an offshoot of past experience and we learn through our mistakes as we move along in life, but we have to allow ourselves to open up again in order to move forward within important relationships.  This new relationship may provide us with something that we have never experienced before and moving to the next level is often what is required in order to go deeper into this new union.

This is something new and may not reflect anything of the past in any way.  It may actually provide us with a comfort level that we have never experienced before.  We must let ourselves go a little.  Weigh out all the facts and move forward with the objective of creating a loving experience shared by two souls.  We are not thrown together by chance.  Everyone we meet that becomes significant has a purpose and we have chosen beforehand to come together to grow and merge our individualities into a more full, single entity so to speak.

It can be difficult and sometimes frightening to move forward and open ourselves up to the unearthing of the secrets that are buried within.  When the time is right and we have had time to look deep into our prospective mates and our instinct and gut draws us to this individual, take the chance.  We might be pleasantly surprised at the outcome. 

If we never take chances in life, we will simply live our sheltered lives with regrets.  We can never grow without stepping forward out of our comfort zones.  We must always listen to our gut and that quite voice within.  Yes, there is always a risk in each thing that we do in life, but there is also an opportunity that life will move forward in a new and wonderful direction and it will hold rewards beyond our present imagination.  The choice is ours.

Transiting Uranus Conjunct the Ascendant in Astrology

If you have an Aries Ascendant sign around 12-15 degrees, transiting Uranus has been stirring up life matters for at least one year. Transiting Uranus has a powerful effect on us and its energies often are felt as far away as 5 degrees approaching our Ascendant and continues to have an influence as much as 2-3 degrees separating.   Normally when it reaches our ascendant within a few minutes approaching (60 minutes in one degree of orb) there is often something that happens in our lives that correlates with the action and intent of Uranus.  When trying to decipher a rectified birth time, Uranus along with transiting Mars as well as the Sun and the progressed Moon will help to further identify the actual birth time.  If Mars is also making an aspect which corresponds with Uranus, it is especially powerful and often an incident will occur.  Look within your birth chart to see where Uranus is located by sign and house as well as its overall condition by aspects to other planets to get a clearer picture as to what might be involved.

Uranus is known as the awakener and its influence often presents us with new and different approaches that seem to infiltrate our very existence.  Uranus calls for objective viewing of our life’s circumstances particularly our relationships when it is connected to the ascendant and demands that we analyse these conditions.  If these relationships no longer serve an evolutionary purpose, Uranus often pushes us in directions that could terminate these relationships.  If the relationship is strong, it will go through a time of awakening.  Both parties will usually have to make changes and alterations to not only themselves but will also have to help to facilitate this change with their mate.  If we choose to follow this format, then the relationship although altered, will come out on the other side stronger and new in some way and able to withstand life’s lessons with more vigor.

Uranus is often found to activate conditions in life when there is a need for change or a want to break free.  Its actions are often out of our control and any resistance to the required change often results in action from outside forces in a more vigorous manner.  This is not to say that we should fear Uranus when it activates particular areas of our chart, only that we should be ready for the unexpected and that change is apparent.

Anything in life that has gone stale or offers little in the line of growth will come under scrutiny during this period.  Pay particular attention to the house placement of Uranus in your natal chart as this is an area that will undoubtedly be affected. 

Once Uranus moves beyond contact of your Ascendant degree (in this case it finally goes direct and remains so from December 21, of 2014 (12degrees 34minutes Aries) until July 26, 2015, when it goes into retrograde motion at 20 degree 30 minutes Aries).  It goes as low as 16 degree 33 minutes into Aries and those that have a lesser degree Ascendant will not be overly affected by its return, unless there are other connections within the birth chart that are somehow linked to the Ascendant at this degree.

Be ready for a change in your life which will affect many areas of life.  As you have been feeling its effects, you are somewhat prepared for this to occur, but when it happens it will happen out of the blue, without any warning.  Be prepared for the unexpected. 

It should be pointed out that Uranus provides change that is very constructive and although this period may have several upheavals and unexpected incidents, the outcome will be well-worth the wait.  Allow at least 3-6degrees past the Ascendant degree to fully comprehend what has taken place and take in the energy with arms wide open as exciting times are at hand.  Change should be welcomed as this is the timing set up by the soul to move forward in a new direction and is directly linked to your evolution.

The True Meaning of Giving

This special message, although focused around the Christmas Holidays, can have meaning in our lives at any given time.  The holidays are a special time for most but can be a difficult time for others. 

Our message is one of love and the sharing of love amongst all of our brothers and sisters.  Family and close friends are often part of our holiday celebrations.  For many families, distant relatives make an effort to make that special trip to be together and share in the festivities.

It is delightful to watch the special effects that this time of year has on the little ones--their delight in opening their gifts and the pure excitement that radiates around them.  The holidays do hold a special place in our hearts and the experiences of togetherness and giving are lasting. 

There seems to be a new trend where even in the rich nations the expenditures linked to the holidays are burdensome.  If you find this is true in your case, perhaps we need to have a closer look at the real meaning behind this special time of the year.  At its root this holiday signifies the birth of Jesus Crist and this is important for those that are of the Christian faith.  For others, it is a time of family and sharing.  Regardless of what Christmas means to you, it is important to know that the gift is what is important, not its size or its value.  It is the gift itself. 

YOU ARE NOW QUESTIONING OUR FOCUS ON MATERIALISM AND OUR VALUES.

Let us clarify......the best gift anyone one can give is their time, their focus, their self.  Put away the cell phones and give those that are dear to you, give to those that are lonely, give to those that are alone the gift of your undivided attention.  Gift and share your self, your compassion, your love!

A perfect gift would be to open your doors to those that are living under less fortunate conditions.  There are many that are alone and suffer from depression during the holiday season.  By opening your doors to these individuals, you can light a spark of hope and ensure that they know someone cares.

The homeless, those struggling to have a home, those that are institutionalized and so many others deserve our attention.  Whatever we can do to alleviate some of their hardships is the greatest gifts we can give.  Have compassion for those in need, whatever their need may be because when the end of this earthly road has been reached, these individuals are no different than we are.  They are pure essence just as you and I.  Yes, it was their choice to learn and experience this lifetime through hardship or shortage or loneliness but they are also here to help us learn our lessons of compassion, giving, caring, loving. 

This is a special opportunity for us to open up our hearts and share.  Could our experiences during these exceptional holiday moments help us to learn the lessons of giving and compassion to the extent that we will live these virtues throughout each and every day of the year? 

Is it our purpose to help those around us? 

We help in so many different ways.  Do not allow this opportunity to shed light and to share love pass us by. 

Enjoy the holidays to their fullest by find a place in your heart that resonates with the true meaning of giving.

Merry Christmas; Happy Hanukkah; Joyous Kwanzaa; Blessed Solstice; the Very Best of Every Day!

Sun Sign Personality in Astrology

There are many reasons why our Sun Sign characteristics may not suit us precisely.  The Sun has a powerful influence in our lives and in most cases, we are influences strongly by our Sun Sign’s character traits, particularly our inner self as the Sun defines the innermost you.

Since the Sun has just gone into the sign of Capricorn, we will use Capricorn as our Sun sign focus for our explanation. 

The degree of your Sun in Capricorn affects the character traits you carry.  There are three defined segments of each sign.  These are known as decanates (please see our post on decanates at http://holmastrology.blogspot.ca/2014/01/decanates-in-astrology.html  for a full description).  Each of the three decanates makes up 10 degrees of the full 30 degrees of a sign.  The first 10 degrees of Capricorn would make you a double Capricorn.  The second 10 degree (10-19) creates Taurus tendencies and the third 10 degrees (20-29) provides you with Virgo tendencies ( the three earth signs).

Your Sun sign is further defined and influenced by the Sun’s house placement.  Each house has its own ruler which influences the planets located within it at the time of your birth.  The first house is ruled by Aries, the second ruled by Taurus and so forth ending with the twelfth house ruled by Pisces.  As mentioned, this will also colour the definition of the Sun in Capricorn.  For example if you have the Sun in Capricorn at 21 degrees and your Sun is located in the fourth house, the characteristics of your Sun sign would encompass Sun in Cancer further defined by Virgo and also characterized by Cancer. 

As you can see, there are many influences that affect our Sun sign and to read your horoscope in your local newspaper or from a general internet site will give you a small cropped portion of a much bigger picture.  If your Sun sign general forecast does not suit you, you have many other variables affecting the inner you.  You Sun sign tendencies whether they are Capricorn or any other Sun Sign will still be deep inner influences, however.

Further definition includes astrological aspects to the Sun, particularly the major aspects including the Conjunction, Sextile, Square, Trine and Opposition.  These aspects further define the Sun Sign characteristics so that now you not only define your Sun by its sign but also by house, decanates, and the Planets and the angles that they make to the Sun Sign.

You also have to take into consideration the primary points, which are the Ascendant which among other things describes the way we represent ourselves to the world, even our appearance.  The MC or midheaven speaks in part of our goals, our aspirations and our occupation.  These will further define who we are and how we represent ourselves as well as what we might lean towards in our occupation, if the Sun is linked to these positions.

You also have to take into consideration how strong other placements are in the Natal chart.  For example if you have the Sun in Capricorn and have Leo rising (Ascendant Sign) and 5 planets in the fifth house, ruled by Leo, you will be greatly affected by the Leo influence and this will dilute the influence of the Sun in Capricorn.  You would still have the ingrained Capricorn tendencies internally and would project them as well, but on a much softer side.  You would resonate with Leo character traits and present yourself as a much more outgoing and you would shine when you are the centre of attention.  Now these are not Capricorn tendencies.

As you now see, there are several influences that infiltrate our Sun Sign although the characteristics that it represents will still hold true.  Remember this when someone says to you that their Sun Sign doesn’t quite fit yet another Astrological sign suits them better.

Holding on to Your Foundation

There are times in life when the road that we are following has some major potholes that we have to navigate.  We carefully maneuver around these potholes, but there are still those that are too large to avoid.  Moving through these tumultuous conditions of our lives can be extremely difficult, but often unavoidable.  Although these conditions or circumstances that we are forced to acknowledge and move through can be extreme in nature, it should be understood that whatever we confront in life always has a solution and usually this solution is our attitude towards it.  No challenge is beyond our scope or ability to master.  We repeat—no issue is met that we do not have the ability to not only meet and address but to eventually come to terms with.

During these extreme experiences, we often feel at the mercy of life.  Holding on to our foundation or our core beliefs is often challenging.  These challenges or so called bumps in the road, burden us at times to the point of exhaustion.  We can even feel incompetent with keeping up with the task at hand. 

What is a belief or principle if we cannot trust in them during life’s trials? 

Know that you can prevail.  Have faith that your core is built on a solid foundation.  Your true self cannot be shaken regardless of the pressure from outside forces.  You have the ability to get through any condition and resolve any conflict.  Nothing comes your way that you cannot defeat and turn into a “silver lining”.

Stand tall in the face of adversity!  Have faith in your inner strength and be resolute in your stance.  You will overcome.  You will persevere.  The only restriction that stands in your way of accomplishment will be your mindset.  Dig deep for solutions.  Ask for assistance from your guides and the higher forces.  Know that you are never alone and that what you need is always at your disposal.  You are strong and have whatever it takes to get through all conditions, if you believe.  Address all of life with this belief structure. 

This is your life to live.  Live it with vision, understanding and purpose.
