Freedom To Be Yourself

So, you believe you are different.  Okay, you know you are different!  This is not something to be ashamed of.  You are unique unto yourself and no one can take that away from you.  You are special and you offer a different viewpoint from the “norm”. 

Yes, you do have something unique to offer.  Many accept this concept for others but few are willing to express or accept it for themselves. 

Most of us know that there is more to life than what the eye can see.  Most of us believe that there is more to life than the mundane concerns for finances and all that comes with it.  Why then are so many of us unwilling to speak openly about our philosophies on life?

Many of us are uncomfortable being open about our beliefs.  Some feel out of place or feel as though they will be judged. 

I ask you, ”What is the mainstream or the norm?” How are we different than what is perceived as the mainstream? 

We ARE all unique but this is our own special allotment in life.  It is an honour to be one of those individuals that are lucky enough to feel comfortable with whom they are.  Do not allow yourself to be affected by what others think.  Understand that other people’s opinions are simply that – other people’s opinions.  It matters little what they think.  What matters is what we know.

We are walking with our eyes open.  We have goals and courage.  We are learning life’s rules and have a grasp of our part in this process.  We strive for higher values and purpose and should never be ashamed of this.

Stand tall and know your place.  Spread your wisdom, acknowledge your place and send that out into your world.

You are always on purpose.  You are forthright and honest.  Move forward with confidence.  Do not be afraid to spread your wings.  Allow your light to shine!

Sun in Pisces in Astrology

Today, we enter into the Sun sign of Pisces.  This is the last astrological placement of the zodiac.  Pisces is said to contain segments of all the previous signs and may be our final step in our earthly evolution, depending on the level of awareness attained in this lifetime.  Pisceans are known to be dreamy to those individuals who are less sensitive and prophetic in their nature.  Pisces individuals display signs of psychic ability and have mystical leanings.  There is something far away about many Pisces individuals and they seem to intuitively sense the emotional undercurrents that surround them.

Piscean individuals are usually very compassionate and sensitive people.  They have a soft spot for anyone undergoing life’s sometimes difficult experiences.  They also have concerns for the underdog and go out of their way to assist others in need.  They are extremely self-sacrificing and some can become vulnerable to the harsher side of life.  There are those that would take advantage of their caring nature and exploit them.  As these individuals mature, they sometimes learn hard lessons from the “users” in life and eventually learn to discriminate between those that genuinely require their help and those that just take advantage of their kind heart.

Those with a strong Sun in Pisces simply need to have a purpose.  They need a sense of worth and a driving force to push them towards their goal of spirituality.  Life’s lessons are understood as being prerequisites in this journey and many will martyr themselves for the sake of others.  If they become caught up in unfortunately or misleading adventures in life, some will resort to the use of alcohol and drugs to escape the hard cold facts that life often dictates.  Some resort to living in an imaginary world of their own and build walls of protection so their extreme sensitivity is not invaded.

Many have a creative flair and music, the arts and creative writing are just a few of the boundless areas where this magical force can be expressed.  When in love, they love deeply and are considered selfless and will orientate themselves in service to others, on a high level of spirituality.  When in focus with their inner journey, they feel on purpose and the intuitive side can reach mystical proportions.  Many develop psychic abilities as they mature into their role in life, although some become lost in confusion.  Often sparks of the imagination can run rampant if not kept under control.  The imaginary qualities linked to this sign are the motivating factor behind their driving force towards a spiritual connection and their inner strength as long as they are in focus.

Life’s lessons often include finding their mission, creating a sense of self-worth and a meaning to their lives that goes beyond self.  Through meditation and the practice of selfless living, many will reach heights unimaginable for those on a more physical, material journey.  Pisces has been linked to the purity in spirituality and we can all learn valuable life lessons through this often misunderstood sign.

Religious Doctrine

Before we delve into writing about religion, we would like to stress that it is our opinion that the core of all religions is similar in that most religions base their belief structure on the dominant and fundamental issue that we are in search of something that encompasses love and compassion. 

For most of us with any type of belief structure this is our core and this unifying concept makes all of our fundamental beliefs viable in their own unique way. 

There is one true religion that resonates within each and every one of us.  Faith or the concept of truth has to be available to each and every one of us regardless of mental capacity, age, geographical location, etc.  It has to be available at any moment in any given capacity.  The only place we can possibly find this truth would be from within.

Most would agree that love is the central focus and all of its attributes live within each and every living cells.  We are all part of the universal truth.

The various religions have many teachings, each valid to their own.  No one can dispute another person’s truth.  We have no authority to either judge or condemn someone else’s beliefs.  It is their truth. 

Following your heart in such matters is the only truth available.  Allowing others to lovingly walk their road of faith is the best any individual can do to remain in harmony with their own personal truth.  It is not enough to know or proclaim our own particular belief structure.  If it is truth, we must live our truth and teach through example.   If we are not living within the structures of our beliefs, what do our beliefs stand for?  We cannot be hypocrites and pretend to be something we are not.  We can, however, keep pursuing our truth regardless of trial and error.

Follow your own personal guidelines.  Build bridges of compassion, share love and hope to all.  We can live to the best of our abilities recognizing that we are human. 

It is by no means an easy road to travel.  We will tire and obstacles will often get in the way, but we are the masters of our path.   

Follow your own doctrines and remain true to who you are and your personal beliefs.   Stay open to the quiet voice within for this voice has a direct line to our pure essence.

Transiting Neptune Conjunct Natal Sun

Transiting Neptune conjunct the natal Sun deflates the ego and enhances the mystical qualities inherent in individuals that lean in this direction.  Those that are so inclined will find that when this transit contacts their Sun, the psychic and intuitive qualities are heightened and often brought to the surface, especially if you have Pisces on the Ascendant and the Sun in the first house natally.  Neptune is very selfless and encourages unselfish acts and self-sacrifice for the general good.

Any type of charity work that takes place when this aspect is in force will be highlighted and working under such conditions can be very absorbing and encouraging.  Working behind the scenes such as working in hospitals or with people in-need will provide the recipient of this transit a feeling of comfort and inspiration.  Any kind of selfless acts are well designed for this conjunction, but one must watch for becoming a Martyr for the cause.

This martyr role is often the case with this selfless and illusive energy linked to Neptune.  We can become caught up in the act of giving and may forget about our own needs.  This can be the nature of Neptune as it tends to offer itself in ways of assistance and asks for nothing in return.  Some may be taken advantage of because of their giving qualities, as there are some that will take advantage of the nature which surfaces during these Neptunian times.

If Neptune or the Sun are poorly aspected in the Natal chart, there is a danger of slipping away and loosing oneself during this transit.  We can become lost within, having vague dreams and misconceptions about the nature of reality and who we are.  Neptune colours things and can make our identity vague during its conjunction and can also promote the need for escaping the harsh realities that we may encounter during its visit.

It can hide our true selves especially if the Sun or Neptune is located in the twelfth house.  There is a danger of an addictive nature surfacing if we are so inclined previous to this energy being released.  There is also a danger with prescription drugs or alcohol and the need to escape life on some level if these planets are poorly placed or aspected in the birth chart or if there are other inclinations within the framework of our chart.

One side effect during the transit of Neptune to the natal Sun is one of idealism.  It is important that all idealism has a focus in reality.  We can deceive yourselves as well as others during this time and it is suggested that we live according to our highest standards and not allow ourselves to be mislead others.   We may also feel physically drained during this transit or psychologically impaired.  This can lead to disillusionment or negative reactions to life.  Depression can be a side effect.  It is best to push ourselves into positive avenues of expression and allow the true altruistic nature of Neptune to take hold.  We must allow ourselves to be led by the subconscious.

This can be an amazing transit if well-handled and we may never look at life the way we did before this transit again.  It can open doors to perception and mystical doorways that were otherwise closed before the energy of Neptune moved into our Charts.  We should utilize this time and study ourselves and our motivations and see where this transit can take us.

Neptune has been hovering around the 1-7 degree mark of Pisces since early 2012.  It has been moving in and out of retrograde for this whole period and finally moved into direct motion in November of 2014.  It is still in the 6-7 degree of Pisces but will continue its motion forward until June of 2015.  During this time (June 2015) it is almost at 10 degrees of Pisces and will once again move back into retrograde motion but will not go below the 7 degree mark again.  If you have your Sun at the 7-11 degree mark of Pisces this post applies to you now.  It will also resonate but the timing is different for people who have an earlier Sun sign degree.  For those that have a later Sun sign degree in Pisces, it will take a little longer for this transit to reveal itself to you.

What Have You Done For Yourself Lately?

What have you done for YOU lately?  Be honest and ask yourself, plain and simple, “What have you done?” 

What answer did you come up with?  Have you taken the time for yourself or have you just been too busy? 

Each and every one of us has our own personal needs, above and beyond the needs of those that depend on you.  You too are important.  You might come last in your own order of needs but making time for yourself is important. 

Take a moment to spend some time by yourself, to enjoy doing something that you truly enjoy doing.

If it has been a while since you made yourself a priority, perhaps you need to make plans to do just that.  Alternatively, go out and do something special on the spur of the moment.  It does not have to be huge.  It should be time set aside for a little something that will make you relax and enjoy.

If you feel stressed then perhaps your body is speaking to you.  In order to be of services to others, you yourself must be in peak condition, mentally and physically.  Life is about giving, but giving to self is also part of the scenario. 

Whenever you feel stressed (from specific events or in general from life’s duties), take a moment to ask yourself what you could do for yourself that might ease the burden, even if only for a few minutes.  Enjoy anything....something...meditation, a walk in nature, a quite bath, sing a favorite song, dance.  Whatever relaxes you, take a few moments for yourself each day. 

Life can be very busy.  We sometimes get caught up in the drama of life and forget that we are supposed to have fun and enjoy ourselves.  Live your life to the fullest.  Fill you time with selfless service, compassion and love but remember that you too should be the recipient of these things. 

Have fun, enjoy life, and find your place on your list of things to do.

Visualize What You Want

We would like to do a little exercise on visualization but before we begin, we should spend some time focusing on what we already have.  Take a moment to recognize all the wonderful people in your life.  Take a moment and experience thankfulness for your health, even if you are currently facing some challenges.  Remind yourself of miraculous way our bodies work.  Take a moment to look around your home, your furnishings, the comforts that we so often take for granted, your automobile, your clothing and more importantly, the food that nourishes your body.  Think of your job (schooling, hobbies), your income (pensions, assistance, employment insurance) and the life style you experience because of these things.  We live a life of plenty!  From time to time we need to focus our attention on just how fortunate we are to have all these blessings in our lives.

Being grateful for what we have rather than paying attention to what is missing will keep the door open for more of the same to develop and grow in our lives. 

Some of us get caught in a cycle of complaining and we forget to reflect on all of the positives in our lives.  We judge and focus on what we condition negative attributes of our life and because we are so wrapped up in that focus, we only see what is missing and what we do not want in our lives.

It truly is a blessing to be alive today and to share all the wonders of our world.  One of the most treasured experiences we have is nature and its raw beauty.  Regardless of season, it is spectacular to take in.  Stop just for a moment and take in the beauty that surrounds you.  Take a real close look.  It may be the first time you have done this in a very long time.

Now that we have spent some time recognizing our gifts, we can appreciate our lives on a deeper level, but what about our most sacred wishes?  Can we manifest these into our lives?  Will our “wants and desires” ever become part of our lives?  What you are wishing for....do you truly want it in your life?  Will it bring you happiness or even more importantly will it make you more whole?

Carefully re-consider your objectives in life and make sure they are in line with your values and concepts.  Make them holy in nature and treasure these objectives.  Centre them in such a way that others will benefit from your hopes and wishes.  It should provide something of value to others as well.  Once you have considered these conditions, imagine that you already have them.  Throw away the thoughts of “I wish”, “I want”, “if only”.  They only produce more wishing, wanting and if only’s.  Picture you life filled with all that you could ever need as though they have already materialized.  It is through living your life as though all your needs are met that life will be exactly as you dream.

Manifesting into life begins with this attitude.  You have to picture yourself as already having “it”, as it were already a part of who you and your life. 

Look in the mirror and tell yourself that these have materialized and you deserve them.  You cannot manifest something into being if you feel you are not worthy.  You have to come to terms with this.  You deserve all of the wonders and joys of life as much as anyone else.  If you do not believe this, make alterations to your belief structures.  Your beliefs and expectations mold your life over time.  You can change anything given the necessary time to change your mind’s focus.

You are a kind and loving.  You deserve the best that life has to offer.  You deserve happiness and contentment.  With focus and a positive attitude, you WILL manifest, and life will fulfill your intentions.  All that you need will materialize if you believe and stop wanting.  There will be more to come, as you open up to the possibilities. 

Let go of wants and wishes.  Be open; be positive!
