The Mind's Focus

In our quest for understanding, it is important to realize the part our mind’s focus plays.  The mind tends to create not only our immediate surroundings but also the events that show up in our future.  In other words, we are constantly creating the next adventure through unconscious awareness and conscious focus.  Our thoughts, expectations and attitude have GREAT power!

This unfolding process in its infancy always begins with our perception and gradually materializes one step at a time.  We are molding our tomorrows by the mental building blocks and foundations we are pouring today.  Belief structures manifest our reality and our expectations materialize over time.

This might seem far-fetched when we begin to question the nature of reality, but over time we begin to realize that this is in fact the case.  Our expectation slowly unfolds over time.  It is not that we think about something and then it materializes instantaneously, although the potential eventually at some point in time might be just that.  We gradually manifest many of our realities.  Belief structure plays an important role in this process, so it is important to always place our focus in positive areas.

We draw to us what we concentrate on.  It is as simple as that.  If we stray from our positive focus and concentrate on any form of negativity, we are slowly manifesting this focus into our life.  The creative process is an unfolding story and we have the decision on which course of action, or mental focus we are to follow. 

If you make mistakes and repeated tell yourself that you are stupid, even if only as a reaction, you are programming yourself to believe that you are stupid.  This WILL have repercussions over time.  As mentioned, our reality manifests slowly, so if we venture off course now and then, which is quite normal, we will not create a continual negative state in our lives.  Repeated negative habits and focus are what we want to be aware of for these are the creators of a negative state of life. 

The more we understand and accept in this process, the more we begin to see the ramifications of our thoughts and expectations.  It also becomes easier to focus our attention as we become familiar with this process.  We can train our minds through gratitude and love.  In reality, it is an amazing opportunity we have been given and we are fortunate enough to have this realization.  If this process were not for us to learn and appreciate, it would not be in front of us now.  The longer we reject this idea, the stronger our egos’ hold becomes.  Non-belief will not stop the process as nothing can alter the truth, but we are then at the mercy of our ego and risk the manifestation of negativity to rule our journey.

The first step is to accept responsibility for your life, then build your future with the power of your positive thoughts and gratitude.  Focus on having the intention of creating the best possible scenario for your live and those around you.  It is also important to keep in mind that your thoughts gradually do materialize and this manifestation affects you as well as those around you.  We can take our focus one step further to world peace, balance and love for all. 

We are in control of our destiny through our attitude and expectation; therefore, we can build our life on a solid foundation and create a world of peace that not only nurtures us individually, but fosters this on a grand scale for everyone.

Pluto in Retrograde Motion

Pluto moves in and out of retrograde several times each year.  It is in retrograde for several months at a time each year.  It has been in retrograde since April 17, 2015 and remains in retrograde until September 25.

Transiting Pluto is a powerhouse in the horoscope and it intensifies in strength when it makes aspects to the natal chart or the progressed chart.  The orb in the transit of Pluto should be no more than 2 degrees, while in progressions it is most significant when it comes within 15 minutes of being direct.  When Pluto moves into the retrograde motion its affects intensify and becomes very powerful.  The transformational abilities linked to Pluto increase and the regenerative abilities are enhanced.  Any power struggles can also become much more apparent when in retrograde so it is wise to avoid interaction that could lead to intense situations.

It may be very challenging to avoid life situations that require change especially when Pluto transits a planets while in retrograde.  It could be considered a time for cleansing and a time to release any worn-out or outdated attitudes that you have fostered and hold onto.  It is the same idea as addressing and revising a list that needs updating to reflect information that is more meaningful and relevant in your life today.

It is a good time for inner research and investigation and for digging up of issues that have been buried for far too long.  It might not always be pleasant what you initially find but these challenging conditions will need to be confronted and dealt with eventually.  Any patterns in your life that have reached a state of uncontrolled persistence can best be addressed now, challenged, and then changed, usually on a permanent basis.

Much depends on the house Pluto is transiting and also the house that Pluto is located in, in the natal chart as these will be areas of life that will experience Pluto’s transformative energies.  You may be forced to challenge any issues you dig up and bring to the surface.  An example might be communicative challenges if transiting Pluto is moving through the third house or if natal Pluto resides in this house.  Also you should look to see where Pluto’s ruling sign (Scorpio) is found as this will also indicate where these changing conditions might become apparent.

Those with Pluto retrograde at birth are known to have great recuperative abilities and they can withstand illnesses that might be considered permanent for many others.  You should also have a look at how Pluto is aspected in the natal chart and the aspects linked to the planets that transiting Pluto is making aspects to during its cycle to see how these areas of life along with the energies associated with the planets involved will affect the overall conditions of this very significant transit of Pluto.

In general, it is a good time to get in touch with any issues that need cleansing and to identify your inner needs.  It is a time for inner evaluation and transformation that usually take a year or two to unfold.  It is also a good time to begin exercise programs and detoxifying diets that help cleanse the body along with the spirit. 

Enjoy the rather intense transformation that often takes place as Pluto moves into direct and retrograde motion affecting planetary links and important positions in your birth chart.

Hard Lessons

After all this talk about positive thinking, channeling the mind, handling negative circumstances that crop up in our lives, etc., it still seems to be a human nature reaction to stress when good people experience challenging lessons, whether it be yourself, someone you love or a total stranger. 

The road of life certainly has a tendency to push and pull us in different ways.  Without exception all of us have difficulties and hard roads to follow throughout our lives.  When one thinks of karma, it is easier to accept difficulties for those groups of people we label as corrupt and karma seems just.  It somehow seems right as it is apparent that their karma is of their own making.  This line of thinking also creates difficultly when we see individuals that we label as “good” people, especially children, who are experiencing major trials and lessons in their lives.

It can be very hard to openly accept the lessons and the “fairness” when we see the difficulties that some individuals go through.  The belief of reincarnation can assist with our acceptance but some of us even question, why karmic debts are carried forward into a lifetime that does not recall the debt owed.

  

We infer that in either case these lessons are necessary for the soul’s growth.  As mere mortals with our limited comprehension, it is difficult to understand, but acceptance and faith eases the confusion and heartache. 

Our reaction to life’s events remains a personal choice and time spent dwelling and reflecting on these issues is also a personal choice.  Life will happen with or without our approval.  Acceptance lightens the burden.  At some point, we will understand, but until that day, accept and move forward with your journey keeping your mind wide open to all possibilities. 

The truth shall be revealed to us all someday, but until then, allow acceptance to life to flourish.

Nature and All of Its Splendor

You say that you want to explore and live your life to the fullest.  When was the last time you had a few minutes alone in nature?  There is a calming effect that nature emits which truly cannot be enjoyed elsewhere.  Take a walk in the woods.  Take a walk along a beach away from the crowds and the hustle and bustle of the world and your busy day.  Take in all of the splendor nature has to offer.  There is nothing quite like it and nothing calms you as nature can. 

There are still spots, although very limited, that are untouched by man or at least this is how it seems.

As we all know, if we break anything down on a fundamental level we are all the same including all that is in nature.  It is no wonder we feel so at home and at peace when surrounded by all that is natural. 

Are you searching for God?  Take a look around you (although you don’t have to find nature to discover God).  Nature is certainly reflective of God’s presence.

Take a few minutes this weekend or this evening to explore a little of Mother Nature’s glory.  Allow its calming effects to penetrate your day’s experience.  Allow nature’s serene energy to slip in even the tiniest of cracks of your being.  There is nothing like it.  Nature’s calm can penetrate into the core of most any less than positive issue as it gently circulates peace and serenity.  What a true blessing.

Some of us are lucky enough to enjoy Nature close up and personal.  For those who have the magnificent view of the mountains at your door step, is it not amazing how it makes you feel so insignificant yet the energy totally encompasses you?  A mountain emits power on a unique level, a level that man could never hope to accomplish and it does this without any attempt to do so.  It just is.  We can all learn something from this.  We can understand that in order to reach purity and fullness, we just need to let things be and unfold, to let life take us on our journey.  This is not to say that we sit back and wait for life to unfold.  We do have the ability to push in different directions and accomplish, but in the overall scheme of things, life does lead our way.

Enjoy the peace that Nature effortlessly shares.  Feel its warmth, its gentleness and its power and know that it is part of you and you are part of it.  These qualities that nature seems to naturally shroud us with can also be found within.  We do not have to search too deeply to find this feeling as it is ours naturally whenever we decide to feel it.  Love and compassion are our birthrights and nature mirrors the way.  It just is and it just manifests naturally.  We have the power of thought.  With this powerful tool, we can manifest any reality that we wish for ourselves.  It is a natural by-product of life and we control our destiny through our interaction with life.  We choose the expression we want to convey and adopt in our journey.

We are all one; this includes nature and its finest expression.  If nature can be so beautiful and bountiful, so can we.  It may take time to manifest but as nature grows leaves and produces the fruit of life regularly and naturally, so can we produce the fruits of our labour. 

It has taken us a life time to create our reactions to life.  It will take more work before we experience the unfolded story of our tomorrow, but we are constantly building upon it.  Today, let us focus our energies on today.  If you do not like what we see, we change our focus or change our attitude towards our expression of truth.  It IS in our hands.  Start your creation now!

Transiting Neptune in Direction Motion in Astrology

When Neptune is transiting through the natal chart and making aspects to planets and significant points (ascendant and MC), it tends to dissolve and/or confuse areas of life.  These areas of life can be determined by the house that Neptune is transiting while making these aspects to the natal positions. 

Neptune tends to make things unclear and unreliable, and it is best to think things out completely before making any life altering moves.  When Neptune is challenging the MC, watch for changes to the working environment and your occupation.  When Neptune is making aspects to your Ascendant, look for changes to your external life including relationships and sometimes people might even experience changes to their appearance.

Life can be particularly unclear and unrealistic when Neptune is making challenging aspects to planets or positions in the birth chart.  The square to the Sun for example can create difficulties when dealing with men in your life or individuals in positions of authority.  It can also make life challenging as you try to decide what direction you want to take in life.  

Making important decisions while Neptune is making contact during transit in your chart is not suggested especially if it is making a challenging aspect to Mercury.  “Things” may not be as they seem and you might be viewing a situation from an angle that is incorrect or coloured.

If, for example, Neptune were making an opposition to Venus in your chart, you may meet up with someone who you place on a pedestal and view as extraordinary.  You may think of them as visionary.  When Neptune clears Venus and is no longer in aspect, you will see the person in a much more clear light. 

When Neptune is making a sextile or trine to Venus, however, you may come across your life mate and have connections that seem like they are made in heaven and they may just be.  Your perception is very clear on a visionary level and the mystical experience can be highlighted when Neptune is making positive aspects to planets in your chart.

Some individuals, depending on their evolutionary state, can gain great insight when Neptune transits through their chart and makes aspects to planets.  If Neptune transits your Jupiter, the expansive qualities linked to Jupiter will enhance these psychic inclinations and mystical experiences often producing magnificent insight into dreams and your visionary concepts seem to come to life.  Religious beliefs can become enhanced and the idea of God may become much more clear.

If, for example, transiting Neptune was moving through the seventh house and made a conjunction with Pluto in this house, it is quite possible that you will experience traumatic changes within important relationships.  Emphasis would be placed on important relationships and this can be a good thing or a challenging experience with much depending on the overall natal condition of Neptune and the other planetary links to Neptune in your birth chart.  Remember, the birth chart always leads the way and will help define the types of experiences you can have.

It should be noted that even the challenging aspects in the birth chart are meant to be overcome and a challenging aspect can turn into a positive growth experience.  These can also make visible links that would otherwise never be revealed.  All challenging aspect can be turned around to work in your favour, can be overcome and channeled in positive directions for positive outcomes.

Walk Through the Door

The door in front of you is waiting for your permission to be opened.  It has no lock and there are no obstructions in the way to the door.  The only thing standing in the way of it opening is you.  Your perception and your attitude towards the opening of the door is the only thing that can hold you back or the only thing that can push you forward.  It is never more than one step away and ability is never withheld from anyone.  We are all offered that same passage regardless of past history or even present conditions.  It is ever available to all that seek answers to any questions we may ask.

Make sure that you are not holding yourself back in any way from receiving the answers that you need in your life.  Make sure that you understand that the door is already open and you just have to walk through.  The minute you take that first step, life begins to shift.  Realize that it is your right to venture forward in your life’s quest for truth and know that it is always available.  You just need to ask.

Many will hold themselves back because of the image they have of themselves.  Some believe that they are not worthy.  Some believe that it is not there for them--that somehow it is just not available.  Some feel that it is too late in life or too early in life.  Some even question whether there is a door there at all.  Understand the concept and power to these feelings or belief structures and understand where they have originated from.

These belief structures are ego generated and because you are identifying with this ego, you think of it as living proof that you cannot push ahead or enter that doorway.  By identifying with the ego, you halt any progress and stagnate your growth at the core.  Letting go of ego interference and not identifying with the ego, releases you from its grip.  You always have the choice.  It always lies in your hands.  Listen to the inner voice as it is always speaking to you.  When you hear its message, you will hear truth.

You are your greatest hindrance and only you are responsible for holding yourself back.  Understanding this will return full control back to you, right where it belongs.  You are not your ego.  You hold control over all situations in life.  You are the master of your destiny and you can walk through that door whenever you allow yourself to take that step through the threshold.  There is much that lies ahead if you choose to take that step into the unknown and venture forth with the promise of a new.
