DISPARAGING NEWS

How do we participate in honest dialogue about the state of our world without facing events we would rather not know happen in our world?  We try as we might, however, to stay focused on the positive changes that are taking place dedicated to our awakening. 

We continually convey a message of peace in our conversations, but some in our world are engulfed in hatred and war.  It stands to reason that we as humanitarians push those in power and personally strive to help manifest a world where love and compassion prevail.

Sometimes, it is hard to imagine such a world.   Are we not an evolving race?  What does our future hold and what are we setting in place for our children and their children?

There is a part we each play in setting down the foundation for the future, but is it enough?  We ask ourselves what can we as individuals do to generate a world of peace?  We already know the answer to be, “by living it and leading through example”. 

All we can do is our part….by doing our part on a daily basis and this must begin at home.  This is the preliminary steps that we can take to participate in the current evolution.  All change is difficult and the darkest hour is always right before the dawn.

We are the messengers of peace.  This might seem as though it is a hefty obligation and I have to agree that it certainly is just that.  Remember we must learn to walk before we can run.  Each and every one of us are the forerunners of a peaceful world.  Our involvement is critical, even if it feels insignificant. 

Yes, there are individuals lacking in love in this world which created chaos for many, but together we do make a difference.  We have within us the ability to make a difference and create the change that is essential.  Stay strong in your commitment to truth.  Be the revolutionary in your little corner of the world. 

Do not be disheartened by the daily news.  Push forward.  Together we can and will make a difference.  It takes many little parts to create massive whole.

STATIONARY PLANETS IN ASTROLOGY PART I

In an Astrology chart, planets can either be direct (forward motion), retrograde (backward motion, at least in appearance) or stationary (remaining still or motionless).  We will touch on the stationary planets or planets in station.  During the process of when a planet moves from direct to stationary, it slows down and its energies are temporarily blocked or stagnated and they lose their intensity.  When the planet is actually stationary, which usually lasts a few days depending on the planet, (the Moon and Sun never go stationary or retrograde) its energies become focused and very intense.  A stationary planet often becomes the strongest single planetary influence in the chart. 

While stationary, there is an outburst of energy.  On August 1-3, 2015, Saturn turned stationary.  Most of how this influenced your chart depends on the natal condition of Saturn.  The house will define the areas of life which were affected and the people involved.  The aspects would have determined how the energy was released and whether it was a positive influence or a challenging influence. 

Saturn’s effect is to delay, restrict, obstruct and generally challenge your life and the house that it was transiting would have been affected in this way, especially if poorly aspected in the birth chart.  If it is well aspected in the natal chart, Saturn offers stability and potentially more structure and security in your life in the house it was transiting as well as the house that it is located in, in the natal chart.  You can also look to see which house Saturn rules in the birth chart (the house with Capricorn on its cusp) for further definition as to what would have taken place.  Once it went direct again, the normal energy flow returned and as of today, things are now back to their original intensity.

In the birth chart, a stationary planet can have a dominant influence in your life, especially when aspected through transit or progression.  For example, if you have Uranus stationary in your birth chart, you can expect the unexpected to happen in life.  There is a need for something new and exciting to come into your life.  Change is almost inevitable and often constant.  It is as if you are swept away by the winds of life and can anticipate new and unusual twists and turns throughout life that can be exhilarating and liberating, but also very disruptive and challenging.

As mentioned time and time again, we have been accused of being long-winded so we will wind up this post for today but will revisit this topic again on Thursday.

APPRECIATION

Let’s take a moment to recognize the miracles in life and all its experiences.  It is important to appreciate what life offers each and every day, without judgement.....to live in the moment, filled with gratitude.  There are countless individuals living with far less necessities and “things” that gratefully share this planet with us.  Many survive with less than bare essentials which we have difficulty comprehending.

We experience our lives wrapped up in mundane affairs, rarely focusing on anything beyond our own front door.  We forget to see the beauty in the front garden. 

Why were we so fortunate to be born into our life’s circumstance? 

Be thankful for each day and the new beginning that it offers.  Begin each day with gratitude and always take a moment to review your blessings.  When it is one of those inevitable times in life to learn a valuable lesson, be grateful for the lesson, for the personal growth.  Do not allow yourself to get caught up in the “why me”.  Through your attitude, allow each life lesson to be a building block to your spiritual or mystical education.   

Create a world of wonder through your attitude, through your open heart.

Positive thinking brings positive results.  You are the creator of your attitude.  Mold your life through gratitude.  Everyone deserves happiness and peace.  Allow these to flourish.

GETTING BACK ON COURSE

It is not unusual, at times, for us to feel as though we have lost focus and have wandered from our path, although we are never really off course.  Even “apparent” alternate routes that we follow for intermittent periods or lulls in our normal routines are not truly off track and they are required routes or breaks for us in that moment in time.  We venture off our anticipated course and then once we begin to get the feeling of being “off course”, we refocus our attention and move back into where we believe we should be.

If we were to study where we have been (either on a mental level or on a physically level), we can come up with some potential reasons why we swayed off course.  Perhaps we had to get a clearer glimpse of something or some part of our own personality that we were not aware of, or perhaps we had to remind ourselves of our inner determination and strength for personal assurance that we are on the right course.  Whatever the reason, there was a reason for our detours and meandering.

Getting back on our preconceived idea of what our path should be can be a little difficult at least at times.  For an example, we may have been following a regimented meditation schedule for many years and all of a sudden we fell of track for a while and beginning again might be a little challenging.  However as we reacquaint ourselves with and restore our routines, we quickly renew our regime and the results may even surpass our previous ones.  Our interlude may interrupt our momentum but when we get back on track, we can be propelled forward with much more incentive and wonderful results.

If you have come to the conclusion that you have been off track and would like to get back on course again, this recognition is verification that the time has come for you to do just that and it is important to follow through so you do not miss this opportunity. 

Sometimes life seems to get in the way and pushes us supposedly off course.  Life changing events do happen in periodically but eventually we can guide ourselves back to focus.

All side trips and stopovers on our road of life are part of the trip.  When the time is right, we will get a little push from within which will prod us to get back to our main path and for us to regain our momentum.  Feel good about yourself as you regain momentum.  Recognize your accomplishments and be grateful.

THE PLUTO IN VIRGO GENERATION IN ASTROLOGY

If you were born from mid-1957 to mid-1972, you are the Pluto in Virgo generation give or take a few months either side of this time frame, as Pluto went retrograde during this period (appearing to move backwards in the heavens). 

This generation may be somewhat obsessive about their health and cleanliness, in general.  They are intensely interested in keeping their body in top shape if they are able, through exercise routines and proper diet.  Some of this may vary depending on what house Pluto is in and the aspects to Pluto in the birth chart.

Virgo can become obsessively involved in many things as they have great analytical perception and the ability to uncover life’s minute details.  

In general, most Pluto in Virgo individuals find their working life rather important to them and they push themselves to find perfection and uncovering all the minute flaws within the work environment.  Some prefer to remain in the background rather than getting all the attention.  Behind the scenes analytical and research work will suit most individuals born with this combination.  They would make excellent detectives and specialists in fields such as psychology, parapsychology and virtually any field that requires deep concentration and introspective focus.  They are usually absorbed in their work and comfortable in knowing that they are doing their best.  Doing their best is a compulsive need and this is why they are highly sought after in the working environment.

These individuals are inwardly intense and analyse themselves, seeking flaws.  Some become overly critical of themselves and some to the point of obsession, yet they may have difficulty accepting criticism.  When angered they usually become ardently heated and yet they keep much of what they feel inside.  They need to find a way to release this pent up anger and stop worrying over issues as this can lead to health related issues as life progresses, especially nervous conditions. 

Rigorous exercise such as running, the martial arts, and anything that pushes the body and releases the mind from the day’s activities will assist in letting go of these feelings.  Gentle exercise routines such as Yoga and Tai Chi can also do wonders for these individuals.  Without such routines, physically restrictions in the body can occur.

Pluto in Virgo people are inwardly intense and need deep study as there is a yearning for understanding of any subject in great detail, especially themselves.  A profession in research, institutional occupations or working in government positions would be of interest to these individuals.  They make good counsellors, pharmaceutical engineers, and mechanics --anything related to detailed work is right up their alley.

There may also be an interest in all hidden matters, such as the occult and the fields of metaphysics.  Any mystery holds their interest and they are great at solving deep internalized issues in others. 

Most at some point in their lives will redirect their energy outward after transforming their own lives through self-actualization techniques, but not until they have completed a full self-study and obtained a full understanding of what makes them tick.  Once they make this transformation to a higher sense of being, there is great healing power in many of these individuals.  They can use this gift to assist others and help them overcome many of their life’s deficiencies.

Again, this is a general description of what Pluto in Virgo represents.  There can be other strong influences in the birth chart that water down or completely dilute these energies.  On the other hand, there can be other combinations and aspects within the birth chart that will heighten these energies to an extreme.  Each natal chart is as unique as the individual it represents.

WHAT IS OUR ORIGIN?

In many cultures, reincarnation is widely accepted.  One concept suggests that we are physically here temporarily from spirit form.  It has been said that there are concepts and truths that we can only understand and spiritually evolve from through the physical, earthy experience.  Due to our learning abilities and varying lessons, we come back over and over again.

It is believed that we can return as male or female.  It is also believed that we can live at any point in time, either in the future or in the past.  Time is man-made.  The past, the present and the future are here now.  With the concept that all time runs simultaneously.  Our current life does not have to be followed by a life that would be considered in our future.  The soul ascertains what lessons are required for its growth and will pick a life that is suitable for its required experience.

What and where is our origin?  As humans, we can only speculate but there are those that believe we are a part God, our source, the whole.  We all form as one in unity with God or whatever term you are comfortable using.  We are joined on some base level with everything that exists--here on earth, beyond our universe and beyond the physical realm. 

If reincarnation is a reality, what we experience in our ever-day lives should not be ignored as it is significant.  Each moment of this life is important.  If not, we would not be here now.  There are many lessons that we have and will partake in throughout this life.  Perhaps we are here to ingest each experience with the intent of learning something that will not only assist us in this life, but will also provide us with valuable information in furthering our evolution on other levels of existence.

Most of us have preconceived notions of what the afterlife is like.  In reality, we do not truly know.  Those with psychic connections get a better picture of what lies ahead, but this is undoubtedly just a glimpse of a small portion of the whole.   

Soon enough we will have our answers to all of our life long questions.  But we can let that go for now and live our lives for today....for the moment,  filtering through each experience, gathering knowledge and information as we enjoy what this life has to offer. 

It is a beautiful life filled with mystery and wonder.  Live, learn, experience and enjoy!
