Other People's Opinions

Throughout life, we will encounter opinions and words of discouragement from others concerning our focus on spirit, concerning our commitment to higher principles and concerning our quest for awakening.  The views, opinions and attitudes of others should never be allowed to influence our focus.  No one will be walking in our footsteps along our specific path.  Their opinions and assessments of our actions ultimately have no merit on our journey.  Each and every one of us is entitled to our own personal choices as long as we respect others in the process.

Some that disagree with our journey are absorbed in material or worldly pursuits.  Many are caught up in the ego’s influence and view their lives from a completely different perspective than we do.  For some, this may be their temporary path and for others that is their journey of this incarnation.  Each of our souls or higher selves experience and learn through what is essential to their current development.  Although we may have difficulty understanding why each of us take our separate routes, this is not for us to judge. 

It is essential to respect other people’s points of view, to respect their ideologies, to respect their journey.  We truly do not understand their purpose here and now.   

It is crucial that we all recognize this necessity, both given and received.  Release ego; set a positive example and reap the seeds that you have sown. 

If you are judged, respond with non-judgement.  We cannot control others nor can we respond in kind and expect a different result.  If offering love and acceptance does not alter their opinions and actions, perhaps you will need to remove yourself from the situation.  There will be times when you will be tested on your opinions and your journey’s true path.  You do not have to defend your beliefs, as often this will not alter other’s opinions.  It is not your responsibility to make them understand or even conceive your principles or belief structures.  Defend your journey through example.  Live in love and offer compassion and respect. 

Your path is the only road important for you.  Other’s opinions hold little relevance to your commitment to truth.  Stand by your ideals and let others have their own.  We are not meant to prove the validity of our journey.  We can only live up to our own personal ideals.  Be what you are trying to convey with your words and let your actions speak for themselves.  You are on track and on purpose.  Nothing can stand in your way, but you.  You have the strength to overcome all adversity, and you stand together hand in hand with source.  How can you possibly go wrong?

Moon in Gemini in Astrology

Moon in Gemini is the sign of emotional versatility and emotional adaptability.  The emotions are experienced on a very wide range, from little to no emotional response to extremes although often short-lived bursts of emotion.   Emotional changes are so common that even the individual experiencing them has a difficult time adjusting.  There is no set course of action except perhaps to expect a reaction to stimuli, as this is usually the case.

These individuals are influenced to a great extent on how their mind deciphers the experience.  The mind will evaluate whatever has taken place and then under normal conditions, the individual will rationalize the event and then react accordingly (and this can happen in an instant).  Outside stimuli often have a powerful influence on Moon in Gemini individuals and change is often a by-product of their environment.  Change is apparent and often the focus tends to wonder because of this. 

These individuals understand that they are all about change, so how can they focus when things are about to change.  This can be emotionally upsetting as they would love to understand why they are feeling the way they do, but sometimes they are unable to figure these emotions out.

Sometimes rational does not apply.  Moon in Gemini individuals just feel what they feel and it might be hard to get a handle on why.  In most cases, they are bored and need something to do.  They especially need someone to talk to and share what is taking place in their lives.  If no one seems interested, they will go through an array of emotional feelings.  These individuals need intellectual stimuli to be happy and when it is not easily found, their emotions can soar.

The Moon is often associated with the home environment and this is often a place of emotional release.  They have to make sure that they treat everyone fairly.  It is important that they not extend their emotional outbursts on family and close friends.  Release is very important; however, they will have to find ways to express themselves without affecting others.  This might be somewhat difficult because they do not know how to do anything in half measures.  When they express themselves, they do it with great emotion and if they are upset, these individuals will let others know. 

Finding a peaceful resolution only comes after deliberation and finding a solution to life’s sometimes challenging times.

It will be important for Moon in Gemini people to figure things out, but if they cannot figure out why they feel the way they do, they will have to find a way of letting it go.  It is important to understand that sometimes life is not black and white and our emotions are not always easily figured out.  “Let go and move on” might be good advice as analysing and trying to figure things out can drive Moon in Gemini individuals crazy and this will upset an otherwise good day.

One thing is for sure if you meet up with a Gemini Moon individual, life will never be dull.  An array of verbal and emotionally charged exchanges will be a part of life.

Curiosity

Curiosity often entices our searches in life.  Out of nowhere something catches our attention and in most cases, this spark seems as though it has comes out of nowhere.  An idea or a statement that hit homes appears to come out of nowhere and causes us to seek further.  This too happens at a point our lives.  We question our daily lives and the direction in which we are heading.

It might be an event that causes us to review our life’s circumstances and the mundane habits that we seem to hold so dear.  At some point in our habit to gather possessions to enhance our lives and surroundings, we recognize an emptiness.  We realize that these things provide only a temporary sense of excitement or contentment and then our exuberance begins to fade.

Some of us will seek out important relationships to build these union and with the hopes that others will help fill the void.  Upon first meeting a significant other, our lives seem changed and in many ways they are, but we are still searching for more.  The relationship can be wonderful and provide us with joy and excitement but it will not fill that empty space that seems to reside within.  All relationships are important, particularly those that we make commitments to, but it is important to shed light on the fact that even the most comfortable relationship cannot complete us, at least not on a non-material level.

If we are fortunate, both parties that make up the relationship notice the seemingly separation that takes place on some level and recognizes it for what it truly is.  In reality this need for more is not a lack of love or an incompatibility.  This realization will actually uncover that we need to find contentment and wholeness from within ourselves and not from within a relationships.  The answer lies in the understanding that we have a void in life because we have not as of yet opened the door to our understanding of self and our connection with the cosmic consciousness.

The void stems from within.  We must be connected to our greater self, our inner self.  There is an oneness that stems from our connection to our pure essence.  Our inner self speaks to us if we learn to listen.  Our true self offers love and compassion.  It is not a loud voice that demands attention.  It is subtle in its nature and offers subtle suggestions. 

We, in our physical state, still have a prevalent hold on what happens next.  If we begin to take notice of this subtle guide, we begin to recognize the genuine assistance that is offered at the most opportune moments.  It is the voice that warns us of danger, the voice that guides us in making the right decisions and the constant companion that is always at our side but never overbearing or demanding.

Our curiosity towards life results from this connection.  As we awaken to the true understanding and our commitment to life, we begin to take note of our reliable guide and friend.  As we become aware of our source, we also become aware of the bigger picture, and we realize that we are never alone.  There are other companions along our life’s road; there are guides and fellow acquaintances that we meet on our life’s journey that also act as guides and become close friends and partners but mostly it is that undaunting inner self that is always there and whom offers the most support.

Curiosity was our starting point and still entices us to continue along our path.  Recognize your place in this life and move forward with the same curiosity that stirred you in the first place.  Listen to the quiet voice and let love be your guide.  Enjoy your partnerships and relationships but know that you, with the guidance of your pure essence, are responsible for your wholeness, understanding and contentment.

Unique Gifts

Why are we here? To what end is my part in my life’s journey?  How many have asked these questions and how many come up short of a satisfying answer?

Many of us have connections to the mystical side of life or at the very least most have inclinations towards mysticism and spirituality.  Some have connections with their guides.  Most practice meditation techniques and join groups with people of like-minded attitudes and viewpoints.  We surround ourselves with healers, psychics and many others that bring their unique gifts to the table.  We all have a magical element within us.

As we begin to develop some of our talents, we reach out into different expressions of that particular art.  Many read books on the best techniques to enhance their abilities.  Timing is paramount.  You cannot awaken a talent until the appropriate understanding is without our grasps.  With this understanding, the practice of meditation can brings forth the opportune timing which enhances our arts of expression, the art of knowing and enhancing. 

Development does not happen simply because you feel you are ready.  The work required to develop can be viewed as a test of faith and a learning of patience.  Is this not a lesson we all need to learn?  Understand and know that when the time is right, it WILL happen.

So you might ask, “What are my special gifts?”  You may think, “I am not psychic”, or let me rephrase this, “I do not believe that I am psychic”, “I do not believe that I am a healer”, “I do not know the tarot”, “I am not an Astrologer”.  What is my purpose?  Why am I here? 

The first step in awakening to your purpose or life’s path or destiny (call it what you will) is to believe that you have a purpose and that you are on purpose, always.  You simply may not recognize this at this particular point in time.

Life changes on a constant basis and your purpose slowly evolves as time passes.  You usually do not suddenly wake up with a complete understanding of why you are here, although some do.  Programming your dreams to reveal what current conditions in your life are trying to teach you is another method of learning, but in most cases the answers are simple and very subtle.

Move one step at a time.  Understanding that this is the process and as time will have it, the doors of perception begin to open-- once again one step at a time.  Pay attention to serendipity.  Events are never coincidence.  The little things in life speak volumes but most times, we are so wrapped up in living that we do not recognize the messages we are given. 

It can take time to realize your purpose.  Your life is not just a mix of events that serve no purpose.  Be patient and understand this.  Believe in yourself and know that even as you read this, you are on purpose and are exactly where you need to be right now. 

You are opening the door to understanding and beginning to comprehend. 

You are love.  You are compassion.  You are the messenger of this. Remind yourself of this and then share this simple knowledge.  How is that for purpose? 

Stay open and listen.  The answers are always quietly laid in front of you.

Moon in Cancer in Astrology

Today we will take a look at the Moon’s position in the sign of Cancer.  If the Moon is located in the fourth house, there will be some similarities to what we are about to write, as Cancer is the natural ruler of this house. 

The Moon defines our emotional needs and our instinctual reactions to life’s events.  It does not deal with the mind but may be influenced by our belief structure or our mental outlook.  The mind is ruled by Mercury and some with Mercury in Cancer will relate to some of these attributes as well.

This is a very sensitive placement for the Moon although it is quite comfortable in this placement, as the Moon is ruled by the sign of Cancer.  Sensitivity is the key word and many with this placement in their charts are ruled by their emotions.  They feel intensely and have difficulty separating other people’s feelings from their own.  This makes them very caring and nurturing to those in emotional need.  It is part of their nature to care for others even when other people might not want their help.

They are the nurtures of the Zodiac and have a compassion nature.  Moon in Cancer individuals are sympathetic to other peoples’ plights.  They are very mothering and often are over-protective of others, especially family members.  They are always caring for other people’s emotional needs and must realize that their own emotional needs also have to be addressed.  In general, their feelings can get away from them and dealing with hard emotional facts can either be a great strength or a powerful adversary. 

These individuals tend to give it their all when it comes to emotions and they feel their way through life, rather than intellectualizing their emotions.  Many are psychic sponges picking up all of the little subtleties in their surroundings.  Their instinct is strong and they often pick up what is going on in other people’s lives.  It has been suggested that the psychic realms hold great interest with those with this placement. 

The moon is often in a water sign, a water house and/or there is a Grand Water Trine when the psychic inclinations run deep.  Moon in Cancer is a prime example of this.  Intuition also runs very deep and these individuals can usually rely on these feelings to guide them through life.

The more challenging ramifications include over-sensitivity and emotional outbursts at the drop of a hat.  Some become pessimistic and insecure during times of deep emotional interaction.  These individuals need to find ways to use their emotional responses in a creative form.  Being psychic, they can lend a hand and help others work through their more difficult life phases.  They truly want to be of help and will find creative ways to be responsive to the needs of those around them.

Some with this lunar position keep their sensitivity well hidden even though they are emotional sponges.  Some become so wrapped up in their emotions and feel trapped within the emotions, they can become depressed and feel as though they are victims of their own sensitivity.  It is best if they face their own sensitivities head on.  Moon in Cancer individuals need to deal with their emotions rather than let them build and allowing these emotions to seemingly become monsters.

It is simply a part of Moon in Cancer individuals’ nature to be emotional, and they can certainly use this ability to understand and assist those who want their help.

Micro Static Interference

Are you on course?  Are you anxious to move forward? 

Have you been making unconscious moves lately that seem to push you in directions that are a little off your intended course? 

You can categorize this as micro static, because if you look at the big picture, these minor interruptions or detours have really not swayed you too much.  Once on course, it is very difficult for any outside interference to move you away from your intention.

This is the beauty of our journey, regardless of intrusions and challenges for once we are determined to move forward, small detours will have little impact on the overall journey.  Our reserve to expand is so integrated in our overall movement that little stands in our way and nothing holds us back for long. 

In a post last week, we touched on fear and its ramifications on our developing story.  http://holmastrology.blogspot.ca/2015/01/fear-factor.html   Lets revisit this concept on fear for a moment.  Fear is a by-product of the ego.  It is a non-essential ingredient and can be cast aside with simple faith in ourselves and faith in our journey.  If it does not feel right then we simply do not identify with it.  The choice is ours and ours alone.

In most cases, these micro interferences that we experience from time to time are ego generated.  The ego feels threatened and wants to retain its control, but our persistent efforts force the ego to relinquish control.  This allows ego to find its proper place - being at our side to assist us along the road. 

Your place, your confirmed alignment with source, holds far greater power than any influence from interference could create on any level.  There is literally no interference or obstructive force that can penetrate the will of source.  Literally, nothing stands in the way.

Step forth and be a conduit of compassion and love.  Emerge from the dark waters of our past. 

Share the compassionate nature that radiates from within.  You are love.  Allow yourself to be.
