Life's Eternal Flame

Where did we truly begin? 

If we were to go back to our birth, do you believe that there would be remnants or memories of a previous life still intact at that moment? 

Would there be memories of a distant past or would the experience only be closely linked to this present time? 

These are questions that have been pondered by many individuals who question the validity of past lives.  Reincarnation is a topic that requires an open mind as the concept, although many believe has been proven, still entices our imagination and there is much to be clarified.

Is this our first life?  Have we been here before?  If we have been here before then why do most of us not recall anything from our previous incarnations?  Would it interfere with our life’s purpose now?  Could it affect how we would live our life if we knew the why behind our existence? 

We can know in our hearts the answers to these questions but we could never explain the answers with true clarity.  Without doubt having the answers would take away a lot of the guess work we may have during parts of our lives.

Uncovering our inner personal story is part of our life’s purpose and many believe this is within our grasp.  Some believe it is found by living in the moment which is said to open doors to awaken our connection to life; however, many of us are far too busy living in our potential futures or are wrapped up in emotions from the past.  The past and the future are not where we are meant to focus our attention.  We have come to experience life to the fullest and this can only be done by living in the moment.

We will always continue our search of many questions, especially our true meaning for this appears to be part of our nature.  We have come with the answers but for most of us, they seem to be locked away.  Our present life is somehow linked to this unfolding story, but apparently it takes time to open up the information gates.  We all move at our own pace and we cannot rush our evolution.  There are steps we must take that will open each door, one door at a time and if we miss opening one door we might not be able to comprehend what lies beyond the next one.

Staying open to bridge the gap between our physical life and our spiritual life will certainly allow these doors of perception to open.  If we choose to stay focused strictly in the material world and exclude finding a connection to our deeper lives and its true meaning, then the doors will stay closed.  Could it be that those who choose to leave the doors closed are here to learn strictly from their feet being planted firmly on the earthly ground? 

For some of us we search beyond the working, sleeping world but it is important to respect the choices others have made.  Also respect what is important to you.  Follow the path that excites your heart even if no one else has been there before you.

Stellium in Astrology

A Stellium in the Natal Astrology chart contains at least 4 planets within 8 degrees to the next planet in line and they must all be in the same sign or the same house.  The more planets within the Stellium the more highlighted it becomes.  The planets within the framework of the Stellium work together as a group and give extraordinary emphasis on the astrological sign they are in as well as the house in which the Stellium is located.

When deciphering a Stellium, you must look at the specifics of the sign characteristics as well as the area of life that is represented by the house.  The planets that are the most closely linked affect the other planets, but even the ones on the far outside of the Stellium will experience influences from the central planets.  The planet closest to the midpoint of the configuration is the central planet and is the planet that is most sensitive.  Any natal aspects that form close ties within this grouping of planets will further colour the intensity of this configuration and add influence to the rest of the chart. 

Some of the positive energies of the Stellium include the strong feeling of being in control of ones actions and focusing on the direction one must take in order to make the most out of a situation.  Many people with this combination are self-motivated and have a clear purpose that they will pursue with a single mindedness that few attain in life.  It is as though there is a concentrated energy in the area of life which is represented by the house position.  Often one reaps talent in this area as well.  There is a definite sense of purpose with these individuals.

If the energies are not used correctly, there are often challenges that stand in the way of progress and with the ability to bring these positive energies together.  Some develop self-centredness and obsessive qualities within the area represented by the house involved and portray negative traits of the sign as well.  Again if the energies are not used correctly, there would be narrowness in their point of view with an unwillingness to listen to advice, as they have difficulty making compromises and lack objectivity.  Some become extremists in whatever area of life is connected with the house which is emphasised.  This will create an imbalance that will need adjustment.

When the Stellium is affected by transit or progression, these individuals experience an ongoing event period depending on the planet involved and aspect related to the Stellium.  They usually experience times of relative peace and serenity and then when the Stellium is activated depending again on the aspect, they will experience times of turmoil and/or extensive times of action and exuberance. 

Check your Natal chart for a Stellium and find out what potential talent you have to express.  Astrology can pinpoint time frames in your life when the Stellium will be activated and how it will unfold in your life as well as the duration the effects will have effect. 

If the Stellium is in two signs or two houses, the influence is similar but less intense.  The areas of life affected will change and will encompass both houses and the area of life both of these houses rule.

Believe in Your Abilities

It is important to realize and accept what you contribute to the world around you.  Your part is important, and you should never underestimate what you are here to do.  In your opinion, it might seem insignificant and you might underestimate what you consider your redeeming qualities.  Understand that this is “your” perspective and this perspective can be distorted.  Others undoubtedly view your capabilities on a totally different level than you may.

When you render your innate qualities and talents as useless and insignificant you sell yourself short.  You may even be blocking the achievement of what you have come to do.  The abilities of any early development are often dwarfed compared to the final outpouring after practice and nurturing of talents.  It is important, therefore, to not sell yourself short as you will stagnate your progress in its infancy and could even halt any further capabilities in the future.  Selling yourself short serves no positive purpose but it will certainly slow down the progress and hinders the real intentions behind your story.

Believing in yourself and your abilities regardless of what they are activates your evolution.  In most cases, we move forward in small stead steps but each step brings us one step closer to our individual purpose.  We have a special purpose to fulfill, our own unique part to play in the unfolding story we call life. 

We do not know for sure where our abilities and talents are going to take us nor do we know the extent of importance our role is in other’s lives.  Our role could be as important as parenting and guiding a child to their success.  What will their influence be on society?  In many cases what you have instilled in the minds of the young will live on in their lives and play an important role in their development.

Your occupation, your personal delivery and your attitude plays important roles in the lives of those you touch in your everyday affairs.  Do not undermine the importance of this.  Know that what you say and do touches many lives.  It is not by chance that we meet the people we do in life.  It is not by chance that we face each individual event in life, although it is important not to get overly caught up in life’s events and hang on to them emotionally.  Living our lives with clear vision and relaying our message clearly through our actions is the best we can do.

We should not worry about saying the wrong thing if what we say comes from a compassionate, loving heart.  We must challenge our automatic responses that we sometimes make under stressful conditions but remember too that we are human.  Each step we take is part of the process and part of the learning cycle we are meant to experience.  Life is our classroom and we experience each lessons as it is needed. 

The best we can do is to live our lives to the fullest, and explore our potential.  We need to allow ourselves awaken to our abilities and know that we have our part to play in the ongoing story of life.  We are serving our purpose by living our lives, through good intentions and promoting positive energy in those around us.  We cannot do better than this

Clearing Blocks

Lack of action on detrimental ideologies and inherent conditions tends to hold us back from our natural growth or progression.  At times, we accept concepts and take them on as our own without interpretation and then struggle to integrate these concepts into our lives.  Many of our personal concepts are based on ideas that we have set for ourselves possibly through expectations of others or what we have been taught in younger years; and we process them as part of the foundation of our ongoing, forever adjusting belief structures.

 

These personal concepts can range from what we believe is attainable, what we believe we are capable of receiving, to beliefs that are reflective of outside conditions which are created or stem from internal views of the self.  We categorize who we are becoming and what life has in store for us based on standards we set for ourselves without realizing that we are putting limits or restrictions on what actually is available for us in this space in time.

These conditions adjust as we set new standards in motion through the ongoing search for self.  We become lost in this search because we believe it is something that we are not.  As a result, we continually search.  If we were to stop for a moment and ease up on this relentless pursuit, we would come to the realization that what we search for is already part of who we are.

Everything we want for ourselves is attainable as it lies in waiting within us.  The only thing that holds us back is our belief structures through conditioning from our past. 

Are you willing to review the structure of your mind?  Do you have a willingness to go beyond the confines of what you consider or have been taught is acceptable for the apparent time in life? 

Each day brings something new for us to ponder and we take on whatever we wish to make our own.  We can be forever lost in the search and can be unaware that the search itself is what is hindering our awareness of where and who we actually are. 

The key is in our belief structures and if we can hold on to this truth, we can facilitate change in accordance to what we want our lives to be.  Taking control or at least understanding the control we have in the process begins a spiral of effects that are more in line with where we aim to be in your life.  It is all a matter of focus and the ability to determine what direction we want to go.

Based on these concepts of truth, we can help facilitate an ongoing process leading to the place we have set for ourselves which we refer to as our future.  This term future is a man made concept of time and space.  In reality it is found in the moment.  Following instinctual reasoning, we can push forward with this in mind, knowing that the moment is the goal and what will follow is determined by that moment and nothing else. 

Typically, patterns of thinking are always based on previous conditions or alternate potential realities that will follow a pattern linked to our expectations.  In reaching the now, or actually finding or accepting it, we let go of any thoughts pertaining to the future or the potential future, as well as all past conditions.  Living in the moment should be our prime focus as it is truly all that matters and all that is real.  It is the now that holds all the ingredients and insights that are required--nothing else matters.  Nothing else is required.  We will experience what it is we are meant to experience in the here and now, this ever present, this eternal moment.

Aries in Astrology

We moved into the sign of Aries on the 21^st of March this year.  Many Astrologers believe that Pisces is the final stage of evolutionary growth at least on our particular level.  When we enter into the sign of Aries we begin anew, at a different stage of evolution.  At the Aries level, we evolve starting at a new chapter from where we left off in the sign of Pisces. 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and it is the sign of the starter, the imitator and the first one in.  Aries individuals are self-starters, and they aggressively pursue a course of action as soon as it is set into motion.  Those with strong Aries tendencies include people with many planets in the first house, (which is ruled by Aries) and other planets in the sign of Aries in their birth chart.  Aries is particularly powerful when the Sun, Moon and the Ascendant are found in this sign.

Aries needs to be the first one to react and they are not afraid of moving in new directions.  They pursue their personal interest with great enthusiasm and an exuberant energy that is easily noticed by others.  Their ruling planet is Mars, the planet of energy expulsion and there is no shortage of energy with these individuals.

They love to be on the go and move into something new with little regard to where they have come from.  If a door closes, their philosophy is that a new one will open.  This is their forte in life and because of this adventurous spirit, they usually learn a lot, experience a lot and live a lot.  Personal growth is an absolute and their pioneering spirit will usually provide them with plenty of opportunity to facilitate growth on some level.

When life throws a twist at them, they quickly turn to something in an alternate direction.  Planning ahead is not their strongest point as they live in the moment and know that what they seek is found in that moment.  As a result, they do not waste time finding their opportunities.  They tend to rush into situations and therefore may discover that they have to redo some steps, if they have enough patience to begin again, which is often not the case.

They have little patience and this leads to mistakes and incorrect judgement, but also pushes them into the mainstream of activity.  They hate boredom and repeat activities.  They often need something new in their lives.  Patience is not a strong point, but usually they learn from their mistakes.  There are exceptions to this however, for an Aries individual may not learn a lesson even if they make the same mistake several times.

They are self-promoters and belong at the top of their own business or at least in the forefront and leading role in an enterprise.  They do not make good followers and have a challenging time listening to advice.  They believe that they know best and often the ego gets in the way.  When this occurs, they can lose their true path easily.  Concentration is not a strong point either, unless there are other mitigating factors in their birth chart such as Mercury in Capricorn or Virgo.

Some when angered have a challenging time controlling their temper and can act out in an aggressive manner.  They are usually hot heads, but let go of life issues just as quickly as they heat up.  Forgiveness is usually a common trait, but do not repeat your mistake towards an Aries individual as they might react in a fashion that may be somewhat unpleasant.  They are quite willing to speak their mind and often with little forethought on the outcome to the recipient.  This is mainly due to an aggressive temperament and a quick reaction time. 

Know that if you make a friend with an Aries individual that life will never be boring, but make sure you keep up with their exuberance or they just might leave you in their tracks.

Remember Your Connection

It can be easy to get caught up in everyday life.  The hustle and bustle of our day can take us away from our ultimate link with our soul’s mission.  We have been brought into this life to live our physical existence, but this encompasses other things besides, working, sleeping and eating.   It may seem as though this is our current focus but there is a much greater spiritual link that co-exists with everyday life.

Venturing forward in life’s journey, we often gets caught up in the little nuances of routine living.  It is sometimes difficult to move beyond life’s obligations and necessities, and we can often find it a difficult task.  However regardless of life’s intrusions to our essential course, there are times when we question these everyday facets of our lives and ponder what lies beyond.  Most of us feel that there is much more than what meets the eye and somehow intuitively understand that the façade of everyday living is not the essence of our true mission.

As our lives continue to unravel, we will enter periods of self-reflection and self-integration.  It is during these times of awareness that we may gain some insight into our connection to the greater whole.  Do not be dissuade by the constant barrage of life’s everyday events and the undercurrents of affairs that seem so prevalent in our lives.  Know that they are not real, in the sense that they are feathered in their effect of the overall picture that is beginning to unfold.

Life runs much deep.  Our vantage point is obscured by the flow of the tide that we seem to be caught up in.  Internally or instinctively we are ever drawn to the true adventure unfolding and we are seemingly living a life of illusion that is created for this moment in time.  This illusion is so deep that it appears real and we get caught up in it through our own fascination and obscure behaviour.

We are in fact a spiritual being living a material or physical life.  We get caught up in the drama of everyday experience.  This is fine for the moment, but as we awaken to reality and living beyond survival something begins to happen to the fabric of life.  We begin to sense other dimensions that co-exist in our life, but these are on a different frequency, one slightly different from our own.  Some of us become sensitive enough to perceive this on our own level of awareness and we know of the “other world’s” co-inhabitants living side by side with us.

These are our guides, friends and relatives that have completed their earthly task and have now passed over into their next phase of existence.  If we listen carefully but not with our ears, we can sense their subtle vibrations all around us.  Some have the ability to communicate although on a very different level.  Others can infiltrate our space and provide us with information and guidance to assist us in our journey.

Remember that you are a spirit energy living a physical existence and this life is so very temporary.  Do not waste this gift.  Live it!  Enjoy it!  Experience life to its fullest.  We are here to enjoy life and gain insight as we venture forward.  Do not forget your connection to spirit and know that this is what you truly are.
