Early Influences

The circumstances of our lives when we were young usually have a major influence on whom we are as we age.  Our parents and the love we received have a huge impact on the way we present ourselves late in life.  If we felt neglected in our early years, it would not be uncommon for us to feel as though we are not worthy of love now or perhaps that love is missing in our lives now.  We could actually now have difficulty expressing love to self and others.

If we were appreciated and given praise for our achievements in our early years, we are far more likely to be self-assured, self-confident and able to move forward in life with enthusiasm.  We believe in ourselves. Because of this, in many cases, those that received support on many levels are the ones that seem to make much more progress in life.

There are exceptions to this however.  There are still individuals that struggle even though they were provided with much support in their formative years and there are those that forge ahead and excel in life although they were provided with very little reinforcement in their early years.  This suggests that our concepts or beliefs also play a part in how we move forward in our lives regardless of the influences in our early lives.  At the very least, we are able to move beyond these influences through effort and work.

There are many who feel at the mercy of life and believe that they are just pawns in the process.  These individuals glide along life’s path offering little resistance to what they call fate.  They feel as though life creates all that they experience and that they can do little to change things as they are dictated to by circumstances.

There are also those that will fight for what they believe in throughout their lives and will not let life’s circumstances get them down.  They push forward with conviction even under the harshest of conditions and do not let those conditions control their reaction to life.  These are the people who are motivated in life.  We can learn much from their example. 

We are only victims of circumstances if we so allow.  We are continually offered opportunities to take life by the horns.  The secret is to recognize these opportunities.  We do not have to lie dormant nor do we have to fear involvement. 

Our early influences can affect us, if we care to carry these events forward emotionally, but we can shake away the chains of the past to make any necessary changes for our current path.  It does takes some courage to move forward but it only stands to reason that if others can push through these barriers, we too can also find it within ourselves to do the same.

It just might be time to push through these past influences that have stood in our way.  It just might be time to change our belief structures and release any challenging conditions that are based on mental focus.  It just might be time to begin a new with strength and resolve that can be found within. 

Take whatever steps are necessary but most of all believe in self.  Fear nothing but fear itself.  Fear is your greatest enemy if fed but certainly surmountable if challenged.

Ages 34 to 38 in Astrology

This post pertains to those of you that are between the ages of 34-38.  If you are over these ages, how did this period affect you?  For those of you that are younger, here is a little insight for you.

At roughly 36, we all experience the third Jupiter return (it takes approximately 12 years to complete a cycle) as well as Saturn square to itself natally.  These returns bring a period into our lives that inspire a growth spurt.  Whether this opportunity encourages growth on a spiritual level or a material level, or both will be reflected in the natal position of Jupiter and Saturn in your chart.  For example, there could be material growth (second house energies) occupational growth (tenth house) or spiritual growth (twelfth house) to name just a few.

You are provided with opportunities to review your life and the belief structures that you have taken on for yourself.  This is a period when you are able to improve your attitudes towards life.  In general, you will learn more about yourself and how you fit into the world around you.  Often times there are transformations that take place in your life’s path during this period.  These transformations are in direct correlation with whatever mature outlook you have developing throughout the years.

There is a pronounced sense of freedom and new beginnings taking place in your life that offer opportunities where you believe you have vested rights and can now comfortably move into your future.  You are developing a stronger sense of self-confidence and are beginning to understand that your life is in your hands.  There is a revitalisation taking place where you are now able to review your fundamental beliefs and move forward with more confidence than before.  There is a new sense of direction and it comes from deep within your core.  You are beginning to understand that the best educator in your life’s journey comes from within.

During this same time frame, you have the Saturn transit affecting you as well.  This is a very organizational transit and it is as vital as Jupiter’s energies are ever-expanding.  Saturn keeps things in prospective.  Saturn requires you to set parameters and boundaries on a new found freedom.  Saturn helps to unify and merge these new found optimistic attitudes and self-knowledge, offering some restraint so that you have the opportunity to find your true potential without going beyond your limits.  The conflicts often accompanied with these two opposing forces are arbitrated directly by you.  There is very little outside influence.  You and you alone are in control.

Choose Your Thoughts Wisely

If we allow ourselves a few moments to reflect on who we are, what do you see?  How does this vision fit into your perceived notions of who you are? 

Take note of who you “think” you are.  Now disassociate yourself from any preconceived notions that lead to a negative approach or to what others have suggested that you are.  Focus on your true personality.  We become magnified reflections of what we choose to identify with.  We slowly materialize our perceptions and make them part of our identity.  We can be misled by notions of negativity and identify with these notions.  Once we do this, we believe these qualities to be a part of who we are.

We are in a constant state of “becoming” and what we believe to be facets of our identity only gather in strength if we choose to identify with them.  If there is something in our makeup that clearly misrepresents who we want to be, we can make a conscious choice as to whether we will allow it to manifest in physical and mental terms.  We are in control.  We are not at the mercy of any given characteristic, unless of course, we believe that we have no control of what transpires in your life, both internally and externally.

Who you are right now, at this moment, is a formulated concept of what you believe makes up the true you.  You have manufactured this identity and it is your identification with these ideas that makes them real.  I may use the term “identify” over and over again, but if we understand that our identification is what makes it so, we will understand why I use this term so frequently.  This repetition will make us aware of the control we have over situations in our lives and the manifestation of who we are becoming.

If there is something within ourselves that does not sit well within our vision of self, we can let it go.  We can stop believing that it is part of us as we do not have to own it.  We, individually, are the only persons that make anything in life truth, including our identification with concepts of all kinds.  We manifest our reality through our beliefs over time.  What we are and who we are is reflective of the beliefs we have fostered over time.

There is a saying “we become who we associate with” and we are told early in life to pick our friends wisely.   We can take this a giant step forward by saying “we become who we believe we are” and we should choose our thoughts wisely. 

Our focus expands our reality.  Channel your focus on positive attributes and watch this focus materialize.  It is a choice.

Look within and find the beauty that lies there.  Hold on to these qualities.  Let go of anything that does not resonate from your core and release yourself from its grip.  Manifest your own creations on a conscious level.

Ages 54 - 57 in Astrology

Anyone between the ages of 54-57 are now entering the stage of maturity and the ignorance of youth has faded.  You are beginning to see yourself as an integrated whole and no longer just as an extension of others.  You are becoming more clear of who you are as an individual and are comfortable enough that what others think is not that important anymore.  You are who you are and that is just fine.

This is a stage when you are more concerned about life itself than trying to living up to other people’s expectations.  You are forming relationships that make you whole.  You have come to a point where you basically know yourself and are liberated with this knowledge.  Relationships still have a place in your heart, some even deeper than anything experienced previously, but you can rid yourself of unwanted or draining relationships if this is what you need to do.  This is not to say that you have become cold or uncaring; quite the opposite.  You are beginning to understand what it is that you need and will form more meaningful relationships in order to build on this.

This period is all about self-fulfillment and self-honesty.  If you have been working well within these boundaries and living your life through generosity and love, you are well on your way to a more rewarding and a satisfying life.  You are on your way to the second Saturn return and you undoubtedly remember your first Saturn return around the age of 30, when you experienced life’s events to the fullest and matured immensely after going through a period of transformation on many levels.

There are several astrological factors that are in affect during this time period.  You will be experiencing the second progressed lunar return, which in short speaks of emotionally coming of age.  You will also be going through the Uranus trine Uranus transit, which is usually accompanied with excitement and the beginning of something new.  Neptune is also in trine to its natal position, helping you gain a more realistic point of view on where your life is heading.  For many, Pluto is also making a trine to its natal position which could be termed as a transformational life period when we taps into our true core.  You are also going through the third nodal return at this time which is directed towards a reorientation within and a clearer focus on life’s direction.

These astrological transformations taking place during this time frame usually signify a deep transformations taking place on many different levels.  Explaining these fluctuations is basically impossible to put into words in such a short post, but you now have an idea why life is going through changes on so many levels.

Enjoy the transformations taking place in your life and prepare for the next major transition to unfold as you enter the last few years of your fifties.  This marks the beginning of the second Saturn return. Many at this age will experience huge transformations.  Some contemplate retirement while others begin something new.  One thing is for certain, this will be a fruitful time and everything begins to materialize and gather momentum as you move towards this second Saturn return.

This is a high point in life and you are entering into what many call “the awakening of self” period in life.  Stay tuned to the higher frequencies that exist in life and enjoy your unfolding.

PURE LOVE

Love is!  It holds no deceit and is unscathed by fear.  It produces only constructive and affirmative results.   Love defies evil and contains only purity.  Love knows and sets no limits.  Love responds readily to those that seek it.  Love is perfect in itself.  Love stems from within.

Love resonates from the true essence of our pure source.  Love cannot be filtered as its truth is natural so that everyone can understand and know it.  We are the facilitators for if we do not allow, we will not know it. 

We create our world through the expression of our thoughts, belief structures and expectations. 

We are spirit housed temporarily in physical form in this material world, but able to integrate with our true consciousness, our oneness, our whole.  We, in conjunction with one another, formulate our reality and transmit truth to all those that we meet on our journey.  Our focus and actions manifest on a global scale.

Within the framework of our lives dwells a place of tranquility and knowing.  Upon reflection, inspiration stems from its roots.  We hold the keys to our kingdom and our experiences within it.  We are the truth. 

We follow our path to enlightenment seeking out truth and love in its purest form.  All answers are available for those that are seeking through love.  Believing in this potential allows the door of vision to open completely.  Believing in this potential opens us up to the profound reality--as it truly exists.

The Magnificence of Life

As you start of a new day, pay particular attention to your attitude.  Your attitude stimulates what lies ahead.  It can either help you or challenge you when you face the day’s events.  It does not matter what you will be doing with your day--whether you are at work, bustling around the house or on your weekend enjoying the festivities of the day.  You mould your reaction to what will unfold throughout the day by your attitude at the very beginning of your day.  Your attitude can even influence the day with respect to what takes place.

If you begin your day with positive affirmations or a positive outlook, the potential for a more prosperous, smooth running day is enhanced.  Your attitude sets in motion the tone for how you will handle today’s events.  If you can accept that today’s potentials always has your best interests in mind regardless of the day’s experience, your view of life is already creating the potential for positive results.

If you start your day with negative attitude, even when constructive life events unfold, which they constantly do, you will view them from a negative perspective.  As a result, you will gain far less from your experiences.  Beginning the day with undesirable and potentially damaging attitudes or outlook can affect your mind in such a way that you will not notice or understand the learning tools that are experienced on a regular basis.

Your mental attitude towards life affects your day and your view of each event as it unfolds.  A challenging situation can be approached with a positive attitude and through using the energies from the situation can facilitate growth on many levels.  Even with a negative attitude, however, surely there is some benefit in the overall growth of the soul but the enjoyment of the event will be lacking. 

When you experience events that are powerfully positive, these events will produce feelings of great joy and appreciation that could never have been experienced if your had approached your day from a less than positive outlook.  The joy would have been felt as a result of this powerful event, but you would have sold yourself short on the extreme emotional possibilities.

Do not underestimate the power of positive suggestion.  You can use this in a very beneficial way throughout your day. 

Do not allow yourself to get lost in a negative attitude or outlook.  Fostering gratitude and a positive outlook brings peace and joy on all levels. 

Your positive outlook will not only benefit you continually throughout your day, your energies will be felt by those around you.  To what extent is this positive energy affecting those around you?  The possibilities are endless.

Be obligated to your own positive energy.  Know that you are worthy of these perpetual moments of tranquility and joy.  Who would want anything less?
