Tearing Down the Old

There are times in life when we should review where we have been, take a look around to confirm where we currently are and to anticipate but not dwell on where we might be going.  We are forever evolving yet holding on to old, outdated habits, actions and people that no longer fit into our progression.  This hoarding only creates difficulties.  If these “things” are holding us back and creating hurdles perhaps it is time to make a shift.  We should always be moving forward in life, evolving on a constant basis, even if only in minute increments. 

Holding on to how life used to be serves little purpose.  What “was” may no longer be relevant to where we are heading and may actually be holding us back.  Letting go can also be challenging, whether this is a long standing relationship where all parties involved are so far apart that they no longer suit one another, an occupation that no longer fits the new self that is emerging, or an old set of philosophies that now stagnate our growth.  Moving forward has its challenges but holding on might be far more detrimental to us in the long haul.

Having a future goal in mind can help us to continue with the growth that is necessary.  We can set our goals to a reachable yet challenging level.  We can strive for something that is attainable yet challenge ourselves for growth.  We might even want to set a date for when we want to materialize something significant into our lives.  Some find it helpful to keep a log of the progression to obtaining what that something might be and then as we maneuver ever closer to that objective, evaluate our progress and log it. 

These logs can be great reflective materials down the road to see just how far we have actually come.  Take little notes on how change has taken place as well as the mirror reflection in our outside environment.  If we do not like what we see, we can then look within and see what we might do to take charge of the condition and make those alterations so that we are happy with what we see.

The future can be a little uncertain but would we rather stand still and stagnate or move forward experiencing the excitement of growth?  Venture forth knowing that evolution is essential, no matter how difficult it may be.  No matter how challenging life becomes, know that we have prepared this route beforehand and acknowledge ownership of all that is and all that will be.

There is nothing wrong with striving for a goal.  It is part of our evolution but the only true moment we have is the current one.  Living in the here and now is essential.  The past is gone, the future is unpredictable but what we see is right there in front of us is.  Life is this very instant and living in the now is all that exists. 

This moment is eternal.  It is inexhaustible.  Live life to its fullest and enjoy each and every moment.

Techniques in Forecasting in Astrology

Once we are familiar with the basics in astrology, such as the signs, houses and aspects, we have a firm foundation for creating an Astrological horoscope.  The birth chart is a precise tool that will delineates the character traits of any individual.  From birth or natal chart to birth or natal chart, there are many variations found within, and this is what defines each of us as unique personalities.

Once we have a good foundation of the principals of the natal chart, we can move on to study upcoming transits and progressions.  These tools are used in Astrology to decipher what potential future events and areas of life that will be affected by the passing of the planetary giants in our solar system.

We have to take into consideration all the planets but pay particular attention to the outer planets, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto as well as any inner planets that are in retrograde motion for a prolonged period of time. 

The inner planets move very quickly through the zodiac and under general conditions do not affect us with any long term effects as their impact on us is a very short periods of time.

The outer planets and retrograde planets passing over sensitive points in our birth chart, particularly the Ascendant and the Midheaven can have profound effects on our lives and these often point towards turning points or significant life events that can alter our perception or instigate action that changes our acuity and sometimes point towards changes to our lives. 

The most powerful transit takes place when a transiting planet conjuncts a natal sensitive point or planetary body.  The energies of the planets merge and become one.  Under many conditions, the energies of these planets intensify as do the indicators of the houses where these planets are located in the birth chart.  The houses are areas of life and the transiting planet will intensify these points and may produce profound life altering effects.  This is especially true when several transiting planets are repeating the same message.

The outer planets can be within an orb of influence for up to two to three years depending on when they go into retrograde motion and when they become direct again.  The first impact when a transiting planet makes an important aspect to another planet or a direct aspect to a natal point will be the strongest. 

An example of this might be Saturn conjunction Mars at 15 degree of Aries.  Both planets become direct when the transiting planet is exactly 15 degrees Aries.  This applies to squares, a 90 degree aspect, the opposition, a 180 degree aspect and other major aspects (the trine, sextile) as well as the minor aspects (the semi-sextile, the semi-square and so forth).  The major aspects are more significant than the minor aspects and the challenging aspects usually promote transitional times in our lives.

There are several progressed aspects that are also important determining factors when deciphering a birth chart and the potential for change in a person’s life. 

We will look at the progressions at a later date.  Suffice to say that the progressions are more internal in their nature.  You will use the progressed Moon, transiting Mars as well as the transiting Sun and transiting Uranus as timers, as they often produce a push that activates the energies of the outer planets and often signifies an event or culmination producing internal insight.

This just touches on how to delineate potential life events as well as the timing as to when these events may unfold.  The area of life affected will be described by the houses involved in the transit or progression, as well as the natal placement of the transiting planets by aspect and house placement. 

Hopefully, this offers a little insight into the understanding of how to decipher potential events and to understand the “flavour” of specific period to come through Astrology.

Seeing Relationships for What They Truly Are

When we enter into a meaningful relationship, it should be understood that it is not by chance that we have come together.  It does not matter whether the relationship is an easy one or a challenging one; there is always something to take from any relationship.  We are not suggesting that we should remain in a relationship that over time has becomes detrimental but their connection had value to our growth.

There are some individuals that seem to suck the life out of others.  There are some individuals that mistreat those that they are in relationship with.  Our relationships with these individuals are put in place to experience some type of growth but as we begin to feel the relationship wavering and it no longer serves to promote something positive in our lives, it may be time to walk away.  Frequently, we are guilty of becoming too familiar or secure within the framework of any relationship and the idea of leaving the union, even when it is a detriment, is very difficult.

We are meant to live together or share in one another’s energies to facilitate growth.  When the time comes that our union is no longer working as it should, as difficult as it may be to leave and move forward, if leaving is warranted then it is imperative that you do just that.  We have come into this life to learn through experience, but we are also meant to enjoy our lives.  This is our birth right and we are not put into this existence to suffer and undergo misery on an ongoing basis.  Life is to be lived with love and compassion and if we choose to share our life in an intimate relationship, this union should assist in our spiritual growth.

When we do find a meaningful relationship, one that offer potential for enlightenment and a shared learning that promotes happiness, we begin to feel a sense of meaning beyond the self and shared love that will move us in directions that harbour moments of sheer joy not misery.  Most relationships experience turbulent times and we are certainly not suggesting that when the going gets tough, you pack up and leave.  There is a difference between abusive relationships and relationships that require a little work.

Life continually changes and to offer different experiences but our reaction to these events is within our full control.  Can we honestly expect that someone will come magically into our lives and change our perception and our attitude?  No one can do this but us.  Outside influences are reflections of what is taking place within.  When you are unhappy with a given situation see what needs to be addressed within before you start laying blame on the outside environment.  Taking conscious control and accepting full responsibility for our lives helps us to understand that it is not someone else that creates our joy or misery.  Our joy and misery stems from belief structure and expectation. 

Recognize the control that we have in our lives and accept our responsibility for the events that take place.  We should move forward in a chosen direction that will help to facilitate the lessons and experience that assist us in uncovering our own life’s mission.  Our appropriate partners, if we chose to have one, will fall into place as our momentum increases.  We will discover those individuals that fit into the current conditions and future potential that resonate with these requirements. 

In any relationship and especially with our intimate relationships, we should not ask what our partners can do for us; instead bring forth what it is that our partners need from us.   Life is a giving process that evolves in direct proportion to what it is that we do and how we live our lives.  In most cases, we are meant to be with those important people and will gain relevant information and growth from that experience.  Nothing is by chance and everything serves a purpose.

Transiting Jupiter Trine Natal Venus in Astrology

If you have your natal Venus at 18-22 degrees Aries or Sagittarius, you will have had transiting Jupiter in trine to your natal Venus since October of 2014.  Transiting Jupiter went retrograde in early December, 2014 and will continue to contact your natal Venus into February of 2015.  Jupiter moves out of orb briefly from the end of February until mid-June 2015 and then passes over this area again in June and July.  This is a long time to have two fortunate planets in the trine aspect to one another.  Trines are blessed aspects especially when linked to these two fortunate planets.

During this period, pay particular attention to see if you also have other planets in your natal chart that are also in these degrees and especially if they are either conjunct, trine or sextile to natal Venus, as this will add to the flavour of this transit and can produce a very positive time in your life.  If you have squares or oppositions linked to this configuration, it will take away some of the more positive inclinations that this time might bring. 

Have a look at which house natal Venus and natal Jupiter are in as well as the house transiting Jupiter is located in during this time.  This will provide you with information as to how this lucky transit might divulge itself in your life.

This will truly be a pleasant period in your life and you may feel you want to enjoy other people’s company during this period.  Social gatherings will be quite enjoyable and you will find that these occasions run quite smoothly--just watch for enjoying yourself a little too much.  Eating too much and drinking too much might add some additional inches to the waste line and you might not be overly joyous after this transit has passed with 10 additional pounds showing on the scales.

You may find that you feel more lucky than normal and will find enjoyment in bringing a little pleasure to those that matter in your life, even to the point of over-extending yourself a little.  Others will enjoy being in your presence and you express yourself with a fun and light-hearted spirit that they find pleasant.  You can help lift others if they are experiencing any type of sadness.

This transit especially if the fifth house, seventh house or the Ascendant is involved might bring about a new love relationship into your life.  If the fifth house is involved, you might just have a flirtatious, lighthearted involvement, but the chances become stronger for a meaningful relationship if the seventh house or the Ascendant are involved.  Check your chart.  Many relationships that begin during this transit can be meaningful and add deeper insight into life as well as with matters that are spiritual in nature.  This transit aids you in many ways and offers new understanding often coming from involvements with others.

There are also those that seem to find more luck and ease in obtaining benefits with this transit.  If the seventh house is involved, this could mean that you will find more luck with your partner and an openness that evolves as this time moves forward. 

If the tenth house is involved, you might find that job opportunities seem to present themselves to you or opportunities for advancement in the working environment seem to come your way.  Sometimes this transit translates to an increase in your finances or earning potential.  Much depends on the planetary links and house placements.  You may also find that you want to beautify your environment or may plan to buy a new home especially if the fourth house is involved.

Above all else, enjoy this transit and the opportunities that it brings.  This is one of the best transits for love, enjoyment, socializing and gain.  Use this transit to expand your horizons and enjoy all the lovely times it offers.

The Road to Growth

Have you been through a traumatic experience in the recent past?  Are there scars left over from the incident?  Are you having a difficult time moving forward with your life or getting over the challenge? 

There certainly are times in life when we experience turning points when our ways of life are challenged or transformed drastically.  Leaving a partnership, experiencing a job change, experiencing the death of someone, or experiencing serious health conditions, to name a few, can be challenging to say the least.

As we age we become more accustomed to facing these life obstructions and challenging conditions, although the experience of the transition is usually never an easy one.  The only thing that experience offers is the knowing that while life runs smoothly we need to give thanks and enjoy the ride.  We have also learned that allowing the imagination to work overtime and to worry about “potential” events is a waste of time.  More often than not, the things that we worry about never materialize.  Life is much easier if we stay focused in the here and now, if we enjoy life and respect the challenges that we face knowing that they are relevant and provide us with needed growth. 

A life without some type of turbulence offers little in the area of growth.  It is through the traumatic experiences in life that we evolve.

Know that life always continues and the road to recovery may be challenging but we will inevitably make it through each and every obstacle if we have the proper outlook.  With a positive attitude we will begin anew with fresh insight and knowledge that we can utilize. 

Many times these transitional times offer new directions and allow us to move forward into new beginnings that are essential to our evolutionary growth.  We are confronted with life issues when transformation is required; and to hold on to the past, trying to remain unchanged only makes the eventual transition more challenging and more intrusive.

Know that we here to learn valuable lessons, and to experience, which pushes us to grow.  Our higher self knows instinctively what it is we need for growth.

Life can be demanding at times.  Know that armed with a positive attitude, you have the ability to endure and that nothing will be so great that you cannot overcome and resolve.  You are here to live, learn, experience and enjoy.  Hold on to the knowledge that you picked this life for your own higher good. 

Take full responsibility for what takes place in your life and do not lay blame.  It is what it is.  It is meant to be.  This knowledge is all that you need to take with you. 

The experiences and the knowledge that are gained from these experiences are stepping stones to your evolutionary growth.   Live your life through love.  Accept that life is as it should be and through each and every experience you expand and grow.

Testimonial K.M.

Although I don’t typically write testimonials, after receiving a chart reading from Holm Astrology, I feel compelled to do so. This is the most thorough and accurate astrological chart reading I’ve ever had. It clearly identified not only my main character traits (and often their origination), but also many smaller, more subtle ones I have, and it helped me understand more about them. It should be noted that this reading was done using only my birth date, time, and location—Peter Holm had no prior knowledge of me nor ever spoke with me before. Yet, his very thorough, well-written, and extremely detailed report made me feel like he’s known me for years.

I also asked for a reading of my current transits (which have not been pleasant). Again, the depth and detail Peter offered regarding these transits was impressive and extremely accurate. He described in clear detail their possible impact on my current life situations (he was correct) and, importantly, he provided specific and helpful suggestions on ways I could attempt to navigate through them in order to learn the life lessons they’re intended to teach (not easy ones right now…). I should note here that the reports are very tactful but they don’t ‘sugar coat’ things; what is, is. We can only grow when we accept and deal with our reality, and sometimes that’s a bitter pill to swallow, at least at first.

Subsequent to receiving my detailed reading, I had several questions. I emailed those questions to Peter, and he responded quickly and with great detail and clarity.

I am in my early 50’s, have a moderate grasp of astrology, and have worked previously with several astrologers. However, I believe the quality, accuracy, detail, and professionalism provided by Holm Astrology surpasses them all. A reading by Holm Astrology is an excellent resource that will help you better understand and work with your life path. I’m very glad I made the investment and have no doubt you will be, too.
