AWAKEN TO THE GIANT WITHIN

Recognizing who we are at a spiritual level is paramount to our true awakening.  We have to understand our inner identity, which is not earthbound, but spiritual.  Our connection to self begins with this understanding and being hypnotized by the mundane concerns of earthly living actually stagnates this progress.

We are not our bodies.  We are not our achievements.  We are not our failures.  We are not just this individual we know as ourselves throughout this earthly life.  We are spirit and this knowledge slowly unlocks in varying degrees through this awareness.  We are spirit right now living in human form, temporarily caught up in this human existence.  We do not have to wait until we move on from this existence into the next level of consciousness or pass over to become in touch with our spirit.

We do however have to recognize ego’s intent and refrain from identifying with ego’s superficial hold on us.  Many of us are caught up in this transitional stage and have a hard time breaking away from ego’s stronghold.  Many actually believe that they are their ego and identify with it on a constant and continual basis.  They recognize its negative impact in their lives and believe that they deserve ego’s persistent efforts to make us believe that we are worthy of nothing beyond simple existence.  Guilt is a by-product of the ego and as long as ego maintains its stranglehold, we cannot rid ourselves of our feelings of guilt.

How we live our life, becomes riddled with guilt.  Who we believe we are as individuals for many perpetually raises our focus on guilt.  This portrayal of guilt becomes an ever-present sidekick that keeps us at bay and stops any type of true progress as a spiritual entity.  All that is defined as evil in the world can be attributed to ego control and resulting guilt.  Those that live through power and control have taken on an ego identity and are not aware or do not believe that there is another portrait of themselves.  The live their lives trying to protect what they believe is their true identity but in reality, that which they are hiding is neither a part of their earthly self nor their true whole self.

We owe it to ourselves to stifle ego and get to know the true self.  We can awaken to our true potential.  We can assist others to awaken to their true self and true potential.  We are a global consciousness.  We are together one consciousness aligned with source, without exception.  By working on self, we also work on our global consciousness.

HEALING POTENTIAL

What would it take for us to find a place of peace.... a place of being in alignment? 

Our mental and emotional feelings of contentment either become enriched or slowly deteriorate due to our focus it affects our various states of being.  Our input and attitude have complete impact on how we feel and what we are able to orchestrate into our world. 

We cannot expect to be healthy or have regenerative potential if we are coming from a place of dis-“ease”.  We are not open to the power of healing when we are stuck in an attitude that projects negativity in our world for this attitude only serves to hinder our lives.

 

If we are blaming specific situations in our lives for standing in the way of finding peace and contentment, we have to do something to change these situations or change our attitude towards the situations in order to make life unfold on a more promising fashion.  If it is the people around us that we blame for standing in our way of happiness, then we have to do something to change how we look at their influence on our lives.  Perhaps we need to move away from their influence or redirect our perception of who they are or what they are doing.  In most cases, a change of attitude is all that is needed and we do not have to do something dramatic to change how we feel about their influence in our lives.

We have the ability to change life’s direction with our thoughts, but if there is physical, emotionally or mental injury, it would be best to remove ourselves from their influence.  If we are simply frustrated at life in general, be sure to reflect on the real causes of our unhappiness before we take drastic steps to correct issues that can be corrected simply by changing our attitudes. 

The body reacts to both internal and external stimuli.  Our attitude and external events or circumstances influence our lives.  Taking the necessary time to reflect is imperative.  Once we have taken an honest look at our circumstances, we can make an informed decision as to what steps we might need to take.

We are never in a place where we can do nothing to help ease or alleviate uncomfortable or undesirable conditions.  Often the answer is not as challenging as the situation might first appear and a minor adjustment is all that is needed. 

We are in control of our lives.  Life is not controlling us unless we allow it to.  Attitude and belief structure along with expectations are always ours to change.

ALL THE RIGHT REASONS

Stop for a moment to take in all that surrounds you in your daily living.  What in life creates the push that is the basis for how you live?  Is it a desire to make things happen the way you want them too?  Do you live your life for others or is this life self-directed?  Have you found something you want to share?  Are you in a place that assists you in sharing these things?

What truly makes you push forward in your life?  Do you really want life to direct you or are you the director of your own personal journey?  Are you being directed or lead by a higher source?  Do you willingly follow this prompting? 

We all need purpose and it is necessary to know that we are in line with our objectives.  Some of us recognize that we are also being assisted from a higher source and that the direction being offered is always for our higher good.

If we live our lives with the purpose to serve others and always put ourselves last, this practice perhaps feels righteous, but is this for our general good?  Should we always place others ahead of ourselves? 

Our goal, when it comes to helping others, is to help them achieve a state of happiness, but if you are not happy ourselves how can we lead by example?  We have to help ourselves together with others.  It is a snowball effect.  We will never experience true satisfaction and happiness by only satisfying the self.  There will always be a feeling that something is missing.  If we can blend self love and help through love and action for others, we will find true happiness. 

If we find peace within (and this cannot be found from outside of self) we indeed have something of great value to share.  We have rediscovered something that will not only benefit others, but will enhance our lives as well.  When we utilize the energies that influence us positively, we resonate these energies to others.  It is then that the time is ripe for sharing.

We should remind ourselves of whom we truly are on a deep, inner level.  The self that we relate to undoubtedly is in part ego and in part spirit or soul.  Learn to differentiate between the two.  By letting go of our ownership of ego and not identifying with its intent, we do not allow ego to obscure our vision of self or take us to places that we do not wish to go.  If we stand firm to our commitment to be happy and at peace, we are the messenger and deliverer of happiness and peace.

WHY WOULD I HAVE A TRANSIT & PROGRESSION CHART PREPARED?

In Astrology the Natal or birth chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the instant of birth with the planets frozen in time.  The planets, their placement and their angles to each other and specific points in our natal chart tell the individual’s story.

Once we are born, the planets continue their movement around the zodiac or birth chart.  The birth chart or natal chart placements, however, remains intact for our lifetime.  The movement of planets after our birth is known as transits and progressions.  We will not go into detail on these interlinking movements in this post, but suffice to say the movement of planets and the stationary planets of our birth chart will make aspects to each other and will tell a story of their own.

When these moving planets align with natal planet placements (and much depends on the overall condition of the natal chart), areas of your life defined by the house positions of the transits and progressions as well as the house positions of the planets in the natal chart are activated and life, events and reactions begins to unfold.  This unfolding is experienced on an intuitive level at first when the transiting planets begin forming an aspect (angle between these links) and then can be experienced on an external level through events as the energies become enhanced by the joining up of other planetary influences.

Astrology can pinpoint when these areas of life will become activated, how it may affect you.  However much depends on the attitude you take during the activity and the duration of its effects on your life.  Astrology prepares you for this upcoming energy entering your life and can provide you with clues as to how to deal with the energies and events or take advantage of what may transpire over the coming periods involved.

Astrology can be used as a tool and a guide to assist you to overcome obstacles, to assist you to prepare for periods in life when things may not run so smoothly but also to prepare you for times when great opportunities will be laid in front of you.  These opportunities may not materialize if you do not recognize the prospects that are awaiting you.  Astrology gauges the energies of the activity and provides you with suggestions on how to utilize these energies as they enter your life.

For those wishing to take advantage of these early signs and use astrology as a guiding principle in their lives, astrology is a viable “advertisement” of opportunities to come, both the easy flow and the harder lessons.  Transits and Progressions offer a window of seeing rather than being blind sighted by events and not being prepared when you could have an upper hand. 

Astrology is a tool of reference that can be applied in many areas of life.  The birth chart provides the initial backdrop suggesting who you are and how you naturally cope with life and take advantage of opportunities that come your way.  Astrology’s guidelines are not written in stone as we have free will and can react to any given situation in our own way.  It is however a tool to assist us in making life unfold with less resistance and with more personal awareness. 

We have the tools available in life to overcome any adversity and also to take advantage of all opportunities.  Astrology is one of these.  With your own personal decisions combined with information provided by astrology, we can direct our life and enjoy the natural flow.  Take advantage of the information astrology provides and have a leading role in your ever unfolding journey.

TRANSITING NEPTUNE CONJUNCT NATAL MARS

Mars’ and Neptune’s energies do not blend overly well with one another.  Mars’ energies can be aggressive, dynamic and even a bit impulsive.  Neptune’ energies are soft and gentle.  Neptune strives to slow down aggression and impulse and pushes you to connect with something higher.  Neptune discourages any ego impulse.  It seeks purity and focuses its energies into directions that assist others.  Mars is drive and ambition and is often self-directed which usually involves the ego. 

Since Neptune puts a vail of fog over anything it touches, you will have to watch for being mislead or misdirected.  Neptune can be deceitful at times as what you see may not be what is.  Mars wants to direct energy into self-serving areas.  If however you manage to persuade Mars to channels its energies into constructive, mystical pursuits or spiritual insight, you will blend more appropriately with Neptune’s influence, although this may be a challenging thing to do.

Neptune will not push its way into being.  It acts in a peaceful manners and knows that enlightenment is not something that can be pushed into existence.  Its energies flow when the time is right.  We cannot push hard to achieve mystical understanding, although we can direct our energy in the appropriate directions.  We have to move ourselves in the appropriate direction because we enjoy this way of life and truly want this to be a part of our life.  Once we have surrendered ourselves, only then will we catch a glimmer of what we are looking for.  There can be no ego connection in our spiritual unfolding.  Any eagerness to succeed may hinder the results and this is a challenge for Mars as it wants to direct its energies and channel it in ways that will assist in reaching its goals.

Be sure to take care of yourself during this transit as there is potential for the weakening of the body and its function.  Moderate exercise programs are suggested and eating a proper diet is equally as important. 

Neptune can have the tendency to deplete our energies and anything that is rigorous and too stressful will tax us physically.  Neptune also rules drugs and alcohol as well as prescription drugs.  We should be very warry of using any of these substances during Neptune’s stay with Mars.  Any kind of upper or stimulant should certainly be avoided.  The body is very sensitive.  We should also watch for poisoning the body by mixing drugs and using them in inappropriate manners.  Substance abuse is a real danger during this aspect.

Channeling the energies will be the greatest issue during this aspect, but if we can find time to meditate and contemplate living for the greater good, we will have done our best at directing these energies appropriately.
