You are Ready

Moving forward along our path, we are enlightened along the way often encouraged to follow an untrodden course...at least this is how it feels.  The road looks new and exciting, and we feel as though few have walked this route before us.  This road is well traversed, however.  If you look carefully, you will notice that the path is well worn.

This route was mapped out long ago and we walk it with many others.  Picture this in your mind.  Imagine a flow of people venturing down this path of twists and turns.  Picture it as a path with rolling hills and valleys and bountiful beauty on all sides.  Although it feels new to you, you walk this road with many others, and many more have ventured down it before you.  You are not alone in your journey and you can feel this as you visualize the road.

This road is the path to enlightenment, awakenment...a turning point is life.  Do not fear venturing off and getting sidetracked from time to time as this is normal and the path is easily found again.  Understand that you are not here by chance and that the time is right.  You are ready for this journey or you would not be here.

We seek tranquility and a peace response to life.  The road in front of us leads us there.  This road is the path to unconditional love.   This path has been patiently waiting for us and the time has come that we take that step, that leap of faith and venture forward into personal unknown and uncharted territories.

We can take our time as we wander along the pathway.  We should be open to dialogue with ourselves and stay open to dialogue with others that we meet.  We all have much to learn.  Feel free to question, but be prepared for the honest, frank answers as the truth is not always pleasant.  The reflection we see around us is constantly changing, as it is a reflection of ourselves.  The changes that are taking place within are the changes that we see around us.  Our road is a mirror of where we are in our lives.  If we do not like what we see, we must have a look at what we might need to do with our lives to alter our external vision.  It is not others that create this external viewpoint.  It is generated from within.

There will be key points along the road where there are symbolic benches and individual seats where we can sit and take in the scenery.  These are resting points and these are there so that we can stop and smell the roses.  These are times of solitude as well as times to reflect on who we are and where we have come from, although the past no longer seems important.

We can venture forth with confidence knowing that we are on the path that has been waiting for us.  It is important to feel free to ask for advice from the people we meet and also the silent bystanders that are with us on our venture.  They are our guides and are readily available upon request to offer guidance along the way.  They are our guardian angels, our helpers and they can always be counted on when we need them. 

You are never alone, although you might feel as though you are.  Take that walk.  You are ready!

Astrology Charts and Young Children

We have been asked if it is appropriate to have their children’s natal chart prepared.   Is there an age limit and when is it best to have their transits and progressions done?  Would an Astrology chart be helpful for the parents in assisting their children with utilizing their strengths and weaknesses?

A parent could commission the preparation of their child’s birth chart at any point in their lives.  Some parents prefer to have their child’s chart prepared shortly after their child’s birth and others have it prepared when their children are a bit older. 

A Child Empowerment chart is essentially a birth or natal chart prepare for the parents.  The Child Empowerment chart takes a close look at the child’s temperament, their emotional needs and how their mind will respond to learning material and stimuli.  It speaks about their strengths as well as any challenges that they may have.  This chart offers the parents suggestions on how the child may gather information and the best or most appropriate way to handle their emotional displays and emotional interactions with others according to Astrological insights provided by the birth indicators.

As mentioned, these charts are written for an adult interpret and are not written for the child.  This chart will offer suggestions on how to utilize the potential found in the chart as well as suggestions on how to utilize the child’s primal characteristics based on astrological data reflected in the birth chart.

The chart would be comprehensive and in depth.  If there were deep psychological concerns that would surface within the chart indicators or health related issues, we would recommend seeking professional advice as we are neither a doctors nor a psychiatrist.  There would, however, be suggestions on how to deal with other youth related issues and also suggestions into ways of assisting these young individuals to enhance their skills and god-given talents.  It would read much like an adult chart, except it would be written for the parents concerning their child.

If the child is quite young, it is recommended that only a natal chart be commissioned as transits or progression are completed for individuals who have an understanding of their personal complexities and situations. 

Transits and Progressions are usually recommended for individuals completing high school and entering into college or university.  We would provide these individuals with opportunistic approaches to gaining insight into their ever expanding life circumstances.  We speak about the challenges that they may encounter but will focus on positive reinforcement providing some insight and assistance with the best ways to move forward in their lives.  We would utilize a philosophic approach with mystical inclinations and spiritual insight in these reports

Spiritually Attuned

Ours is a journey of enlightenment and an escalating venture encompassed by many.  Our mission is to absorb all that we can learn, to merge the lessons of this earthy experience to assist our higher selves and return to our pure essence.

Our hurdles along our path are lessoned through meditation and other techniques that enhance our ongoing process.  Through meditation we slowly open channels to the perpetually evolving story.  This practice is essential although in the early stages it can be tedious.  Persistence is the key.  Like any other exercise, it is hard work in the beginning, but with practice, the mind will quieten down to allow our inner self, our guides and our pure essence to share.  The deeper we go, the further we reach and the closer we come to our true awakening.

With practice, we clear out our obstacles and inner fears that hold us back.  Challenging conditions will be faced and the journey is by no means an easy one.  Life unfolds as it should and we are presented with lessons to assist in our learning.  True peace and acceptance resonates from within and in turn is reflected in the world around us, not the other way around.

The process is gradual but steady as long as we stay on course and quieten the ego’s voice. 

Allowing is the most difficult challenge and only comes when we release control and accept that all of our life’s events are placed in our journey simply for our growth in our ongoing evolution.  This is not to say that we simply sit back and let life dictate.  Push forward with enthusiasm and appreciation but do not emotionally fight those things that are.  We have full control of our attitude towards our lessons.

We nurture our own personal growth by listening to the guiding voice within.  It assists us in times of need.  This gentle and persuasive assistance is generated from within although also linked with the higher realms of existence.  Our spiritual guides assist in the on-going process.  Life always offers alternative routes to follow, each leading us through our ongoing evolution.  Our journey will be much easier if we listen to our inner self and our guides.  We are, however, the masters of our own personal journey.  We have the choice of taking the meandering course or the direct route, the easy path or the path filled with obstacles.  The best route is the route we learn the most from.  We always have control over our attitude towards our journey; we can allow it to knock us down and decide to stay down or it can knock us down and we can jump up with even more determination to win each battle as they are faced.  Which do you prefer? 

If you are in search for truth, expansion, enlightenment.....follow your heart.  Listen to the quiet voice of wisdom and seek love.  You cannot go wrong.

Sun in Aquarius in Astrology

The Sun moves into the sign of Aquarius on January 21^st.  This post applies to those individuals with the Sun in the sign of Aquarius.  This is the sign of the water bearer which symbolically represents these individuals spreading their ideas and new thoughts into the world.  They are quite willing to spread their word and are particularly happy when it is well received.  Their intention is to bestow the world with new ideas and also involve others in this progression.

Aquarius individuals are the visionaries of the zodiac and have the ability to see far into the future and find ways to make the world a better place for everyone.  They are humanitarian and are very conscious of the influence they might have on their environment.  If only they could spread the word.  Their mission is a noble one with the general good of all intended.  They are progressive thinkers with excellent reasoning abilities and they truly want to provide something for others to share and incorporate into their lives.

They are sympathetic and compassionate with a genuine concern for those around them.  Their ideas can be radical and even rebellious, and they are against any type of constraint.  Freedom seekers, they reach out beyond the confines of what could be considered normal, extending themselves beyond rational thinking.  They are often thought of as trailblazers with progressive, intuitive ideologies in the forefront of their thinking.   Aquarians want to change the world and make it a better place for everyone to live.  They will patiently try to shake others away from complacency, pushing them into new and unexplored regions of their own minds.

As mentioned, they are progressive thinkers and anything that has become stale and no longer serves a purpose, they insist on changing.  When their views are obstructed or interfered with they can easily become impatient and temperamental.  They are very fixed in their opinions with an intention of providing what others need on a mental level. 

The thinking process is considered quite logical and they have a broad focus.  It is all about evolution and bringing in the new with advancement on their minds.  Aquarians believe they are right and will follow along a planned route towards a given target.  They can be somewhat rebellious but have no problem admitting to this; some are even radical in their ideas and considered quite different.  They actually enjoy this.

If you make a friend with an Aquarian, you will never be bored.  They have an adventurous spirit and love wide open spaces.  There is actually a real need for freedom and a need to roam.  Being tied down does not sit well with the average Aquarian. 

If you are in search for a logical resolution to a problem they will assist you in reaching a positive conclusion and then make you aware that it was you that came up with the solution.

To get a clearer picture of your Aquarius Sun, check to see which house your Aquarius Sun is located in.  This will provide you with more information on how you might utilize these humanitarian principles and put your life to work.  Also have a look at aspects from other planets and key point in the birth chart to define how the planets will affect the overall condition of the Sun sign.  Check in particular if there are planets in the eleventh house, which is ruled by Aquarius and if there are, this will intensify many of the traits linked to this sign.

The Art of Forgiveness

During times of extreme hurt or disappointment due to our reaction to someone else’s actions or lack of action, are we still able to forgive?  Are we able to separate ourselves from the mind’s and the ego’s reaction?  Are we strong and secure enough not to feel hate and bitterness towards this individual?  Regardless of the action, do you have the strength to forgive?  How can you move forward beyond this hurt or disappointment?

We physically and emotionally hurt ourselves when we allow ourselves to feel hostility, revenge and hate.  Forgiveness is not an easy task, especially when atrocious acts have been carried out.  Letting go and moving forward can be difficult, as the mind and the ego relentlessly wants some type of justice or revenge.  Things may not seem fair and in many cases they are not, but somehow we must learn to forgive even the most dreadful actions.

Hanging on to hate and wanting vengeance actually works against us, causing disease and stress.  Are we not lowering our standards or ideologies by allowing these dark emotions continual life?  Do these emotions not stand in our way of moving forward in our spiritual development? 

How can we learn to forgive when someone takes away something we treasure, like our resilience, our serenity or our hope? 

There are many reasons why others act out in ways that we do not understand and cause at times agonizingly painful experiences.  Some of these individuals come from horrific backgrounds that we would not want to ever dream of.  Does this negate their actions?  No; but perhaps one day they will fully comprehend the results of their actions.

To live your life in pursuit of justice and to be filled with hate and the need for revenge can only provide you with a place of sorrow, anger, resentment and dis-ease.  This place can never offer solace or peace.  Letting go and forgiving is perhaps the hardest thing that you will have to do in your life but one that you have to do for yourself. 

Forgiveness is the ultimate goal and this generates the ability for more inspiring, productive untold stories to surface.......stories, events that are waiting to be released.  Karma will be the judge and the jury, and it does not need your input.  Allow love to grow even from the darkest corners of your being and watch the repercussions of this action.   This is the story waiting to be told.   Inspiration cannot bloom in the darkness of hate and sorrow.

Whether we are in denial or just through simple ignorance, most of us have emotional blind spots. 

Do others describe you differently than you see yourself? Do you continually have the same relationship issues with different people? Does the same life lesson keep reoccurring?

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.
