RELEASE & BLOOM Part I

Many are talking about the shift in consciousness.  The first step to recognizing the new you that is emerging is to understand that this “you” has always been residing within all along.  In recognizing this, we can more easily adjust into this newly discovered persona knowing that it was already in place but just hidden away.  We can reacquaint with that part of ourselves that has always been in existence.

Some of us may find it a bit challenging to allow this newly discovered individual to surface completely.  We are so comfortable walking as the former self for many years (even though we have been unfolding for a very long time).  The allowing of this new layer of self is a gradual process and takes time.  It does however accelerate as we allow and accept. 

Picture a rose opening its petals.  The outer petals slowly open making way for the next layer of petals to appear.  It is a beautiful process.  The centre petals have always been there.  They just were not visible.

We will flip flop back and forth between both personalities before we learn to blend both.  Old habits die hard.  Remember the plight of the ego.  It has held dominance over our perception of self for a long time and it will fight using whatever means it knows to retain its stronghold.  Ego is much like the outer petals.  It has held us and protected us (in its opinion) since our beginning. 

Now we have a need to expand.  Releasing our true beauty has become so strong that ego can no longer hold us within its grasp.  As time passes it will bow as it has no choice for it has been overpowered by something greater than itself.  The process may feel a little bit uncomfortable.  We may even feel frightened and vulnerable but this will clear as we allow our true self, our true beauty to emerge.

NEW MOON & ITS LINK TO THE FULL MOON

The New Moon period is considered to be a time of making new things happen or setting things into motion – planting the seeds of our intentions.  We can set new goals for ourselves and when the Full Moon moves into the same sign or house position that the New Moon was in when we planets our seeds, we will find that our intentions may be ready for harvest.  The Full Moon cycle is often linked to the feelings of reaching an end of a condition.  This is when ideas come together and we have the ability to visualize the whole picture and often will instinctively know what the next steps should be to reach that goal.

During the New Moon phase, we could set plans which would outlining what our intentions are and what we might do to reach these goals.  As times goes by, watch how some of these goals begin to manifest, some without any effort on our part.  Simply by setting the intention, we set the stage and the energies that be create the necessary steps.  Life is always filled with opportunities if we care to actually see them.  With the intention set, we enter into the Full Moon cycle particularly if there is a link to the sign and house position of the original New Moon phase, and we will discover that either these intentions can materialize or they can be deepened.

If we set our goals on the areas of life affected or determined by the house and sign positon, the potential for success is greater than if we set our goals to areas of life that are not linked to house and sign position. 

For example, if the New Moon is in Taurus and in the fourth house, we might think about adding furniture or beautifying our homes and doing work on the house as Taurus often speaks about material comforts and the fourth house has to do with the home environment.

If using the same sign and house placement and we decide we want to try to begin a new relationship, the end results may not be what we are looking for or may take much more work to see our goal to fruition.  Setting goals for a new relationship would work much easier if we waited until the New Moon sign placement were in Libra and/or the house placement were in the fifth house.  Libra is all about partnerships and important relationships among other things.  The fifth house deals with romantic involvement, among other things.

If by chance the New Moon Cycle begins under a void-off-course Moon, (the moon making no aspects when leaving one sign and entering the next sign) many Astrologers advice not to make any plans at all.  (For example the Moon could be in Aries.  At 27 degrees 15 minutes, the Moon could squares Mars and it will not make any further aspects to any other planets until it is at Taurus at 1 degree and 23 minutes.  This period is known as Void-Off-Course).  This could last from a few hours or it could last several days.  It should be noted that plans more often than not do not materialize during a planets void-off-course period.  Other times during this period, things do not go as planned.  It would be better to wait until a time when there is no Void-Off-Course event taking place.

It is not suggested by this Astrologer that you always wait for an appropriate New Moon to set intentions or for making plans or decisions in life.  There is a better chance to make things work if following these guidelines; however, there may be other mitigating conditions within the chart making this difficult or challenging in turn delaying things or challenging your ideas.  Always look through the whole chart as it can suggest the flow of energies in life.  These energies will suggest the likelihood of challenges or of easy flow in achieving our objectives.

Astrology can be used to help us in our life’s endeavors, but we always have the leading role in determining what actions to take.  Astrology should not rule our lives and the decisions we make, but Astrology can be used to assist us when make these decisions.

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.

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.
