A NEW YEAR AND OUR REVIEW

Now that the New Year is here, traditionally many of us make resolution for change and address some of our own personal challenges.  We could also take time to reflect on what we have done over the past year with our lives. 

How far have we come and what changes did we make along the way? 

Sometimes we lose track of where we have come from and how much we have grown.  Reflecting on our spiritual progress is important from time to time.  Some of us get caught up and frustrated as we do not feel as though they are moving forward very quickly in our journey.  This new chapter, 2016, and each and every new chapter, can be a reminder to reflect and see the progress we have made thus far. 

We cannot speed up the process.  Life moves on its own accord.  Understanding that this is the process will assist us in realizing that we are where we should be.  We will propel forward when the timing is right, no matter how impatient we choose to be.  Actually impatience only services to make us feel that life if moving even slower.  The more we focus on the slowness, the more slowness we will experience.  It is like waiting for water to boil as we stand and watch the pot.

It is best not to get caught up in the speed of our development.  The doors swing as they should.  Having no expectations is another wonderful attitude as it allows us to let go.  If we have faith without expectations, there are no limits. 

We are never off course and if we feel that we have taken the wrong path, we are mistaken.  We are meant to walk this road for as long as we do.  Letting go of personal control is very challenging, but if we recognize that the ego is the one that feels the need for control over everything, we will understand where the feeling and attitude of stagnation or slow progress actually stems from.

Keep up your forward motion and be content.  We are in the perfect place for right now.  No mistakes; no shortcuts and no setbacks.  Each step is part of the journey.  Enjoy the journey.  Love surrounds us each and every step of the way.

Happy New Year and Happy review.

Happy New Year from Holm Astrology

EXTENSIONS IN THE HOROSCOPE

As we determine the characteristics traits associated with each of the Astrological Sun Sign, it is important to understand that there are many variables within the birth chart that will affect the Sun sign or solar placement.  The Sun Sign reflects the inner personal qualities and the Moon is our governing emotional needs expressed through its sign and house position.  There are many other influences, however, that affect our character traits and how someone perceives us.

You may question why a person who is Pisces (Pisces being gentle, peaceful and amiable) acts intrusive, is demanding to be the one who comes first and in general displays aggressive behaviour.  These latter characteristics are is quite contrary to the characteristics of the Piscean Sun Sign.  Why is this person so different and displays little of their Sun Sign character traits?  Perhaps this individual has a strong Aries placement in their chart, with the Ascendant in Aries and the Moon, Mars and Jupiter all in Aries or in the first house and these planets may be poorly aspected.  This strong Arian influences will mask the soft and gentle Pisces demeanor, perhaps to an extreme, unless this individual has learned how to curtail these strong character traits and use them to their advantage.

It should be understood that we all have the potential, regardless of our birth chart, to make any challenging aspect work in our favour.   This is the purpose of difficult aspects in our natal chart.  We are not at the mercy of our birth chart.  We are the orchestrator of our destiny and have all the facilities available within our birth chart to activate any aspect and use it to its full positive potential.

Getting back to why this Pisces Sun individual displays such non-Piscean behavioural tendencies......We must look deep within the chart and examine all the aspects and variances within the horoscope to come up with a complete picture of our personal makeup.  This is what makes each of us unique and one onto our selves.  One Pisces Sun individual will be different from another Pisces Sun individual.  However deep down inside, those qualities of Pisces are still strong even though not shown.  The individual in question described above can utilize these strong Aries character traits and use these talents to enhance their Pisces nature.  Perhaps through spreading compassion and spirituality by self-expression or enterprise that aids others in self-realization.  This individual would have a very strong drive and could express the Piscean nature though very worthwhile acts.

There are many avenues of expression and many release techniques that unlock potential. Through our spiritual evolution, we slowly unlock our natal potential.  By going deep into the astrological chart, we can uncover our true potential and our purpose behind this incarnation.  Astrology provides information and guidance into our life’s pursuit, but WE always make the decisions.

BASKING IN THE TRUE ENERGIES

This is your special moment for very moment is a special moment.  Enjoy it.  Live it. 

We have come into this life to experience all that life has to offer - to experience life’s moments, special or otherwise. 

It is our time to investigate and to uncover all of the hidden gems that reside within us.  Seek out all the perfection... all the unique characteristics that create us as individual.

The best person we can be already exists.  Allow this person to emerge but first we have to acknowledge that we are this person.  We will slowly allow this person to emerge as time passes.  Let go of those characteristics we feel we must possess to please others and allow the true self to surface.  For some of us it takes a long time for our comfort levels to reach that point that we are comfortable enough to come out of hiding, mainly due to the fact that we do not associate ourselves with the potential that lies within.  Many do not believe that they possess these qualities that they wish to develop.  We stop ourselves short because of our beliefs.

We can learn to be comfortable as that person we currently suppress inside.  We are our only limitation. 

Many of us allow our belief structures and expectations to mould the outer self.  If we are going to mould ourselves then we should focus on a positive belief structure.  The sky is the limited.  We can alter our perceptions of who we think we are.  Who we allow to exist is a continuous process and the expansion never ceases if we strive to develop. 

We can bask in the true energies of who we are at any given time.  Believe and move forward with the release of the true self.

TRANSITING NORTH NODE CONJUNCT TRANSITING JUPITER

The transits of the North Node and Jupiter will be forming a conjunction in the sign of Virgo and will be having an impact on those that have a natal planet in Virgo at 15-25 degrees. The Conjunction takes place between mid-December 2015 and runs into mid-March 2016.  The strongest time will be in January and February 2016, when they will be conjunct at 22-23 degrees of Virgo.

If you have other natal planets at 15-25 degrees in other signs particularly forming a square, trine, opposition, or sextile to this Virgo conjunction, you will also be affected by the influence of this link in your chart.  The North Node acts in similar ways as Jupiter and is considered an alternate Jupiter on some levels of understanding.

Jupiter is known as the greater fortune and this conjunction especially if found in the second or eighth houses can indicate an increase in the finances, particularly so if this placement in your birth chart is well aspected by other planetary links.  Opportunities often arise in areas of finances and material rewards.  You may also be learning about this area of life and learning about your spending habits during this time.  You may, as a result, set up financial budgets.  It is a good time to get this area of life in order.

Although the aspect suggests the opportunity for extra income, you will also have to be careful about your spending, as often the money comes in and then moves out just as quickly.  Jupiter tends to expand things and can enhance indulgences and a carefree attitude to any area of life defined by the house placement.  You will have to watch for being too generous.

There is often an increase or greater interest in the area of religion, philosophy, and spiritual insight.  This is a great time to expand on these areas in your life.  If you are already involved in these types of activities, you may learn a great deal about the working of the universe during this time and if you are a beginner to these teachings, stay open and let the energies flow.  Much depends on which houses are involved but when it comes to mysticism and spirituality, the 4, 8 and 12 houses would be the ones that would hold the greatest promise of further education.

If the MC (midheaven) is involved, you may expand on opportunities within the working environment and perhaps be offered a higher position or a pay raise.  Once again, you will have to check the natal potential to see what might be in store.

There may also be desires for travel during this time, particularly visiting foreign land and far away destinations.  For those that are not in a position to travel, you may do so in the mind as continuing education on a more mystical level is often a by-product of this placement.  In the sign of Virgo, this might be a great time to get your life in order, putting things in their proper place internally first and then radiate outward into the world at large.

This is a very opportunistic aspect and we can all learn and grow from its influence even if we have challenging conditions within the birth chart.  Often the more challenging the birth chart (make sure you look at the North Node as well as Jupiter) the greater the potential for a rewarding experience that may open doors that were previously closed.  You may just have to work a little harder.

PHYSICAL WELL-BEING

It is said that everything stems from the heart.  Should we then look within our heart or emotions first when dealing with adverse experiences in life which have evolved into physical conditions or “dis-ease”?

In what ways could we change our lives or our perspectives on life to alter conditions now apparent in the physical body?  What can we do from a purely mental perspective to re-examine our lives?  What changes need to materialize to have a physical affect on our body? 

Are we happy?  Are we content?  What can we do to change the direction of our life if changes need to take place?  How will these changes affect those around us and what can we do from a personal perspective to make changes that not only make us feel better emotionally but also help those around us to find peace as well?

These are questions that we can certainly reflect on. 

If someone closely involved in our day to day lives is being beckoned to make changes yet they ignore these calls, it may be time to help them see what is required.  If they still resist then it may be time for us to do some house cleaning.  Those that are holding us back and creating conditions in our lives that are not in line with our journey cannot be allowed to stand in our way.  It is best to think of what we need to live a healthy, fulfilling life.  It is not self-centred or egotistical to care for our own needs.  We cannot fulfil our life’s journey if we have not cared for or taken care of our own needs.  Sometimes our journeys go in different directions. 

If we have allowed the disease to progress unchecked, we should never hesitate to seek professional help for guidance and healing.   By making conscious changes in our lives and with care to heal the disease, we will have the tools we need to heal and grow, if this is part of our life’s journey.

We are never at the mercy of life.  There are always avenues to pursue, but the first steps taken always come from within.  Ask your guides for assistance and programme your dreams to reveal any special points of interest that will help you along the way.  Remember you are never alone in physical terms and certainly never alone in spiritual terms.  There is always assistance available; all we need to do is ask but then we must also listen to the instructions that may come to us intuitively or through signs in our immediate environment.  Remember, nothing is co-incidence.
