An Eclipse in Astrology

Eclipses are said to play an important role in Astrology.  In varying degrees, they do in that if they fall on a planet or angle in your birth chart.  The eclipse will activate the energies of the planet or point in your natal chart that they touch.  Eclipses occur quite regularly.  There are four eclipses in 2015.  The first one occurred on March 20 which was a total eclipse and it was in the sign of Pisces at 29 degrees.  We also have a lunar eclipse on April 4, which will be 14 degree of Libra.  We have a partial solar eclipse on September 13 which falls in Virgo at 20 degrees and we will also have a total Lunar eclipse which occurs on September 27 at 4 degrees Aries.

It is said that if an eclipse occurs within a few degrees near a planet in your chart that it is often best not to start anything new.  Quite often things go astray or life is misleading and not trustworthy.  Plans go astray and often things do not turn out as they would at other points in time.  Starting a business or making plans to take out a mortgage or deciding to make alterations to your life may not work out in your best interests.  It is said that if you are planning to end a rough marriage or quit something that interferes with your life, these endings may work out well although you should look at the whole astrology chart to see what other mitigating factors might apply.

The planet’s energies that the eclipse falls on or is conjunct with will be imparted in the area of life dictated by its house position.  It will impact your life in ways indicated by the meanings attached to that house.  For example if you have an eclipse in the first house and Mars is at 5 degrees Aries in that house, when the lunar eclipse falls at 4 degrees in Aries on the 27 of September, it might not be a good idea to start some self-work project, like an exercise program, or vigorously pursuing an new avenue of expression such as a new job.  It might, however, be a good idea to finish up a project which was set in motion in the past, or stepping away from a vigorous training program that is too difficult for you to complete.

In the above scenario, it would also be important to look at the axis point to that the first house activation which would also apply to matters related to the seventh house.  There might be issues related to self needs verses your partner’s needs.  It is believed by some astrologers that eclipses are linked to negative actions and many individuals will actually fear them because of this traditional belief.  In many cases something challenging does occur but if you were to review the situation, it often suggests that change is required.  The challenging circumstance is actually what assists the needed change to happen.  In many cases it is often a by-produce of something good coming out of something difficult and the end result is just what was needed.

It is important to view your life in this fashion regardless of what takes place, at any given time.  The lessons learned through challenging life conditions are often the perfect tool for evolutionary advancement on some level. 

Have a look at your natal chart to see if any planetary links are found in your chart that will be activated by the upcoming eclipses occurring this year. 

One more important factor to consider is that the development resulting from the Eclipse often takes time to unfold.  Some say that the total unfolding process can take as long as six months.  Do not expect things to happen on the day of the eclipse and at the same time do not live your life in anticipation of what might happen.  Never waste time on possibilities in life.  Live in the moment and enjoy your life to the fullest; always!

Infinite Wisdom

It seems as though growth or change only occurs after challenging life conditions.  These challenges allow for an opening to channels simple due to the turmoil of life events (or the change in attitude after the challenging experience).  We seldom evolve through life conditions that are calm and collective.  This appears to be the nature of our reality at least until the door of awareness opens.

Challenges come into play to assist us rather than stagnates our growth.  It may appear quite the contrary when experiencing these conditions; however, once the situation has resolved we can clearly see how we prospered because of these events.  It is difficult to understand while experiencing the process and we often feel as though we are at wits end, until finally a little glimmer of light shines over the horizon.

Remaining persistent and strong during these times can be arduous.  Understand that when life seems challenging, it is then that we have reached a place that can foster growth on whatever level is required.  These conditions continue until we have unlocked the door to the transition that eventually takes hold.  We have to overcome these life conditions to evolve to that next stage.

This seems to be the learning curve that best suits us in this earthly form; although once the door to true spiritual learning has been opened, it no longer becomes a requirement.  We need stiff jolts to push us in the intended direction and then once we reach this culmination point, a shift takes place.  It may take years to reach this as a multiple of layers needs to be shed until we reach the finer level of enlightenment.  These early stages are the challenging ones.  It gradually becomes easier to move forward as we progress with our growth, and we become open to the dialogue offered by higher sources.

Our guides and spiritual comrades are with us always and have always been there assisting us through the dark stages of our lives, yet we may not have recognized their influence as we were so wrapped up in the situation at hand and the emotional impact of that time.  Our negative focus overshadowed our progress and the assistance we were receiving.

We continue to evolve if we remain open to this for it is our life’s purpose.  It is our birth right to open ourselves up to the beauty found within.  It is this path and the eventual outpouring of love that slowly shrouds our being.  We are spirits in human form.  We can never forget this.  Our earthly life journey is to eventually co-exist on some level consciously with each and every energy body. 

There is a vessel buried within which holds all of the information required to take that next step.  The gateway will present itself to us when we are ready, regardless of the eagerness we feel.  We cannot force the spiritual unfoldment to happen.  This is not in our hands.  The sooner we realize this, the more readily the transition can occur.  Release your “wanting” and watch your world unfold.

Pluto Conjunct the Midheaven

We thought it necessary to revisit the conjunction with Pluto to the Midheaven.  We will speak in terms of how this affects us if it is located in the birth chart and also briefly define how it will affect us when Pluto transits our natal Midheaven.

Pluto on the Midheaven at birth suggests an individual with a powerful presence especially in the working environment.  They will have the ability to transform the working environment not only for themselves but also for those that they either work for or work with.  This is a position speaks of leadership and the changes that can take place in this person’s life when they transform working conditions and regenerate this area of their life.  There may be some struggles of wills when it comes to moving forward with their objectives but any challenges would help facilitate required change to further the evolutionary cause this individual would be undergoing.  This process would be very deep and would describe changes and transformations on a fairly constant basis where the individual would go through permanent changes once the process has completed its course of action.

There will be no half measures with this ongoing process as the transformation is usually on a very deep and personal level and often life altering.  This is a position of regeneration of life goals.  This individual would gain recognition for their efforts of uncovering integral internal changes but these changes will usually require some participation from others in the working environment.  They may find that there is some opposition to these efforts by their superiors and the best route to follow is one where the ego stays in the background of whatever occurs.  Their approach would be usually quite aggressive and this might also stand in the way of progress, but standing in the shadows is not what these individuals are meant to be.

Much of their approach depends on the astrological sign involved.  For example, if Pluto is in Virgo, this generation of individuals would proceed in a meticulous fashion, digging up material that needs alteration and strategic changes, but will do so in a very organized manner.  Everything will have its place and their presentation would be accurate and detailed.  The Pluto Virgo individuals operate in a very orderly manner with expertise at their disposal.

Those with say Pluto in Scorpio may work below the radar and do things in a much more subtle manner.  They would go deep into what needs transformation and challenge tradition.  They would suggestion how the company would best work under most any condition.  They would be more subtle in their approach but have an impact that would not go unnoticed.  Their approach would be intense and also very complete.  Pluto Scorpio individuals would bring things to the surface that others may not even have noticed or dared to bring to the surface.  They may be more of the quiet type but would present an image of know-how and people would notice their presence.

When transiting Pluto is residing on the Midheaven, this period speaks of transformation in the working environment.  Depending on the overall conditions, there would be powerful influences taking place that may involve disruptions and major changes to take place.  There may be disruptions with people in power or authority and difficulties because of varying opinions.  Things might also move forward in that the changes that would take place would open doors for new positions of authority and offers to move up the corporate ladder into management positions. 

Pluto will uncover anything that needs to be transformed to a higher state in order to move forward regardless of obstruction.  Pluto will facilitate change on one level or another.

Formulating You True Expression

It is not about building personality during life’s growth periods, although this is often a by-product; it is about finding the appropriate outlet for self-expression.  We formulate our character as life passes and we are constantly building our personal approach to life through life experiences.  These experiences do create some personal identification, but this is subject to change because of life’s constant stimuli through events.

Our personal vibration varies in different degrees throughout life’s lessons and as we develop as an individual we gain insight, slowly fostering our personal expression.  We are building character and challenging any limiting conditions as we mature into ourselves and therefore, we go through periods of intense transformation where we require an alternate route to uncovering who we truly are.

As we progress along our life’s road, we get reminders of who we were and glimpses of who we are becoming.  It is all a developing story and the real us slowly continually emerges.  This true person that we are becoming slowly surfaces although the connection has always been there.  We just did not see it.  Who we are is the most natural expression of self that is always attainable, so in reality, we do not have to look very far.

The ultimate person that is attainable is the “real” you and anything that resides outside of that true personality will be released or challenged.  Any part of us that we do not agree with or do not resonate with is not part of the real person.  We can release this from our personality simply by not identifying with it.  If we do not like what we see then we do not identify with it.  Any trait that does not resonate with us is not part of us.  It is as easy as that!

To release any of these qualities, however, we first have to acknowledge that they exist and then in recognizing this, we are free to do with them what we please.  We may tweak it or we can release it all together.  Challenging these personality quirks provides us with many alternatives and the choice is often an easy one.  Moving from one thing to the next is not a challenging event if we understand the concept of self-creation and self-actualization.

We are the master of our own identity.  The only challenge we will meet is deciding what to keep or alter and what to expel. 

Take control of your expression to the world and discover your true identity today....in the moment.

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.
