Obligations to Uphold

It is important to look at each day as a chance for a new beginning or an ability to enhance an already magical experience. Each day in essence is a new beginning and a chance for a new start, or a gift to bring more of the same into existence. Letting go of ways that offer little in the way of enlightenment and ways that are concentrated on material living can provide us with a shift in our outlook.

We should always analyse our desires and be honest about them. Only then can we come to an understanding of what those desires can truly manifest into our lives.

We do live in a material world, and for most of us it is hard to release the need to control these areas of life. As we grow stronger into material living we are often presented with a feeling of never having enough and always wanting more. It is fine to feel the comfort that material living can provide, but exaggerating our energies in these areas will often take us off track from our actual purpose for being here.

We are spiritual beings living in physical form but we have to ask ourselves, “Are material concerns the reason our true essence brought us into this life?”

It is true that there has to be some significance to material life or we would not be surrounded by it on a constant basis, but surely our inner-being is not concerned with material abundance and financial rewards. If it were so important would we not be bringing these with us when we pass on into the next stage of our soul’s existence?

We leave everything material behind but undoubtedly we bring with us our experiences and the enlightenment gained in this life. We are always in search for a connection with our higher self and ultimately again with our source. We are divisible beings engaged in a journey to become one and indivisible, joining forces once again. In essence then is it not our life’s journey to experience and gain insight into some very important elements and experiences?

We are not here by chance and nothing of significance is without reason. Our obligation to ourselves is to uphold our quest for enlightenment and to discover and reunite with our source, the provider of love and compassion and all the ingredients that fall into this category. Is this not the why behind our existence and our purpose? Are we not meant to discover once again unconditional love and the acceptance of humanity with an understanding that we are all one?

Find your truth simply by being. Discover yourself simply by living. Uphold all that is relevant by being the example and learn the art of joy through your connection with your inner self and those around you. You are one with the light. You are one with the source. You are one with our pure essence.

Transiting Uranus Conjunct the Natal Sun

Transiting Uranus has been around the 10-15 degree in Aries since May of 2013 and will be moving out of orb in the spring/summer of 2015. 

Having a Sun sign of Aries makes you a pioneer, the first to move forward into new and exciting adventures.  You move forward with little preparation and may have to redo things because of this, but this also offers you opportunities long before others see them coming.  You need to be in a position of power or at least where others will listen to your perceptive ideas.

With Uranus conjuncting your Natal Sun, you may have noticed that your life imprint and objectives have been subject to sudden change and your direction may alter even more than is customary with a Sun in Aries.  Drastic changes have been highlighted during this time and you will have felt the need to move forward or break free of any type of restriction.  With little consideration and contemplation, you might have made sudden changes to your life. 

Uranus wants to break free of any outworn ideologies or living conditions and pushes you into new directions often very suddenly.  There will be times when it seems as though you move into a new direction without even understanding why you want to move in that direction.  Uranus is very future oriented and it will push you into new directions.  Often what lies ahead is not overly clear, but it is exciting and exhilarating to just pick up and move ahead into unknown territory.

If at all possible you should try to take time to review these new directions and potential life alterations before you actually change your course.  This may, however, be difficult as the energy of Uranus is often about sudden unexpected turnarounds and the need to find freedom and a new path.  If you were to review the recent past year or so before these changes took place, you will come to an understanding that the transformation has been in place for some time.  You may just have needed something to kick-start this new beginning, however.

 

If you have a look at the house that transiting Uranus and your Natal Sun are in, this will provide you with more information on the area of life that is being affected.  You will also need to have a closer look at the natal house that Uranus was in to offer more insight into what is taking hold in your life.  Look to see how Uranus and the Sun are aspected by other planets in your natal chart as this will give you a feel for how this time will affect you.

If you have been avoiding these transformations and new beginnings, Uranus’ action will often be quite abrupt and not that comfortable.  In many cases Uranus’ energy is not easily harnessed and it is wise to just go with the flow and make the changes to your life that Uranus is telling you about.  The action of Uranus is often drastic, evolutionary and one thing for sure, you can expect the unexpected during this time.

Enjoy the ride and be ready for something new to take hold in your life.  Move along without obstruction and realize that the challenge is the ability to understand that the changes that are ever present are things that are required for your evolution.  These are necessary and will make much more sense in a year or two when the effects of transiting Uranus are no longer within the orb of influence.

Healing Energy

We are all agents of healing.  We all have the ability to act as healers on any given day.  Whether we use this energy through mental healing or physical healing, it is within us all to give. 

Do you question these statements? 

How can someone like me be capable of healing another when I have not gone through any training or schooling? 

How can I heal without knowing how to work the healing energies?

Some training is required before you can learn how to heal efficiently, but it does not require years of schooling to facilitate healing through hands on techniques.  What is a Mother’s first response when her child has hurt themselves?  It is an automatic response to place our hands over the injury.  Why?

There are many healing modalities available.  In most cases, the energy required for healing does not come from us but works through us.  We are only the transmitter or conduit for the energy to pass through.

Reiki, for example, is a hands-on technique that the first level can be taught over a weekend.  You can learn the technique and begin healing yourself with these initial instructions, although further training and much practice is advised.  We can all act as a conduit of this energy. 

The knowledge has been passed down through the ages and anyone can use this energy to help those around them.   We are all born healers.  There are many ways that we can use these gifts. 

How often do we naturally offer a gentle touch when someone is going through a rough time?  How often do you find that these people feel much better after a touch and the ability to express their feelings?

This is all part of our natural design.  We are born with these gifts.  They have been available since time began but somehow we have lost this information and forgotten our abilities. 

Remember to utilize your compassion and open the channels of love so this can be expressed.  In some way or another, each one of us care for others.  We experience some form of compassion.  Some of us even take on others’ emotions during emotional experiences.  Assist your brothers and sisters during their times of need but do not own their emotions.  You will be of no assistance if emotionally you are walking in the shadows, although your experiences from dark moments will assist you in understanding as you have taken steps within those same shoes as those that are suffering.

There are many ways to offer assistance to those in need and it is within our grasp and ability to help those who ask for assistance.  Allow the healing energy to radiate outward into your world and be part of the overall healing process.  It is within your capability to make a difference through whatever form gravitates to you. 

Be a conduit for source’s healing energy.  Be an agent of compassion and love for each of our brothers and sisters.

Transiting Neptune Conjunct Natal Moon in Astrology

Transiting Neptune has been moving back and forth into retrograde and then going direct since the spring of 2013 and will continue until February of 2015 between 3-7 degrees of Pisces.  If you have the Moon in this degree of Pisces then Neptune will have had a profound effect on you over this two year period. 

Moon in Pisces is a very inspirational placement and most individuals with Moon in Pisces have psychic inclinations and often prophetic dreams.  They are emotionally inclined to receive intuitive information from higher sources and are often visionary.  They are emotionally receptive to the deeper dimensions and attuned to other people’s emotional response to the world.  Many have a difficult time removing themselves from emotional interaction with those they respond too.

This is an intuitive placement for many and for those that have difficulty in this area of life there is often a tendency to live in a dream world trying to escape the more harsh side of life, often through alcohol and drugs.  As the Moon governs the emotions, they are all wide open to introspection and have a deep seated emotional nature.

Neptune is in its natural sign in Pisces and is quite comfortable with this placement and when attached to the Natal Moon, it often brings Neptunian principles to the surface.  Many will have an involvement with mystical experiences and practices during this time and undergo emotional interactions with the spiritual realms.  If one is so inclined, this period will often produce profound effects and at times a linking with other realms of experience.

Neptune will also colour the imagination and because it is linked to the Moon, people with Moon in these degrees in Pisces may have difficulty understanding their own emotional makeup.  They may react in different ways than in those ways that they customarily react and they may become lost in their feelings.  The house this conjunction resides in will indicate which area of life is being affected.  If for example the conjunction occurs in the sixth house, these types of experiences will deal with the working environment and your emotional health often connected to nutrition.   If this conjunction should occur in the fifth house, you may experience intuitive insights into love relationships and children or have difficulties seeing things clearly, often putting these people (especially romantic entanglements) high on a pedestal.  After the transit has completed its course, you may see this individual in a much clearer light and see them as they actually are. 

If Neptune is clouding your perception and your emotional interaction with life, it is best that you have a second look and perhaps wait for a clearer perception down the road when Neptune is out of range of the Moon.  If you are experiencing mystical insight and emotional interaction in the spiritual realms, this is the nature of Neptune in this placement and you should be paying close attention to the spiritual side of life.  Is it telling you something?

Insight and intuition and emotional interaction will be highlighted during this time frame.  Much can be learned during this very significant period.  You can either rely on your emotional feedback or if you feel unsure then it is best to wait until the cloud of uncertainty evaporates.  Check out the aspects to your natal Neptune to see how it is affecting you.  If you have many challenging aspects, make sure what you are experiencing is real and watch for a lesson after this transit passes.  If your Neptune is well aspected then the insights might be on target.

You should also check to see where your Natal Neptune resides, as the house placement and sign placement will also provide you with details into what is taking place in your life.  In many cases, the spiritual side of life is awakened; and we can grasp its deeper meaning at this time so use this transit with this in mind.

Follow Through

This path we walk and the life we live are sometimes difficult routes to maintain especially in the early days of understanding.  It is easy to fall off our chosen route and venture here and there in alternate directions without even noticing.  The old and familiar ways are often reflections of where we once were and even though those reflections are from focuses of our past, they somehow still holds us back from moving forward in our new direction.....the ties that bind are strong and they tug at us and cause us to look back.  By doing so, we only lose focus of where we intend to go.

Stepping out of our comfort zone and pushing forward into an unknown territory can be a bit intimidating and uncomfortable to us.  However, as we continue on in this life’s venture, we begin to gain insight and it is then much easier to break free of the past and its grasp.  Behind us is a way of “being” that no longer suits our ongoing journey.  Eventually, this familiar place of the past becomes so distant that it feels as though it was another lifetime.

Moving forward without any knowledge of what we will uncover can be a stimulating experience and for those that are in search for something new and meaningful, it will hold their fascination and intrigue.  We do not follow along blindly although at times it certainly feels this way.  The course has been laid down before us long ago and we follow along a route that is inherently understood on a deeper level.  It is not foreign although letting faith guide us can be difficult.

The overbearing ego will want to be at the controls and as we venture deeper within ourselves, the ego’s grasp lightens and the doors begin to open.  What we learn as we move through the channels of understanding are stepping stones to our future knowing.  It is not an idea or a concept; it is an actual knowing and understanding that unfolds.  This is what is referred to as the awakening, but it has been in the works since our birth. 

It is suggested that we were actually in complete understanding when we entered this life and then as we adjusted to the material world, we lost sight of the true meaning of our life as we develop material concerns and make an earthly life for ourselves. 

This was not a wrong road that we happened to take or a mishap in any way.  It was meant to be and we were laying a required foundation that serves it purposes but will eventually have to be broken down to clear way for true understanding.  We gradually realize that material rewards are short lived and our entanglement with such things are only comforting for the moment and then rapidly lost their significance.

Upon this realization, we are once again open to the underlying principles that have brought us into this existence.  We are now making our way towards gaining an understanding of the “why” behind our lives.  The door has opened and we have ventured inside, leaving behind anything that does not fit into our new way of living.  The past is behind us but there are times we glance back without realizing.  Our way of living is changing.  Our openness to life is producing results that we never thought we would encounter when we were engaged in our material lives.

Staying in touch with our spiritual needs is now paramount.  Veering off course does still happen from time to time, but we will realize our off-road ventures immediately and we move back on our intended path.  Staying with the truth becomes an easy task as we venture even further into our self-knowing and true perception. 

Hold true to your awakening.  Stay focused and intent.  We must remain open as we walk further down our enlightening path.
