NEW MOON IN GEMINI

We will be experiencing a New Moon in Gemini on June 4, 2016 at 10:59 p.m. in our area.  The New Moon is a time to plan and plant seeds, to set things in motion and start moving in a direction of choice.  This New Moon in Gemini is conjunct the Sun at 14 degrees.  If you have any planets in your birth chart at 14 degrees (a range from 11-17degrees) either conjunct, opposition, square, quincunx, trine or sextile, (in other words in major aspect), you will find the energies of this particular New Moon influential in your life.

Gemini’s energies strongly influence communication and interaction with others.  Discussions about most any subject and furthering the intellect are very reflective of what Gemini would want to accomplish.  As a result, you could prepare for things such as schooling yourself either through reading, research or continued education under the influence of this new Moon.  Moving towards in these areas and establishing what you want to accomplish for yourself can be activated during this New Moon phase.

If you have been contemplating furthering your education, beginning a book (this includes publishing or preparing to write a book), this would be a good time to start such projects.  If you have other planets making aspect to this degree in your birth chart, (much will depend on what type of aspect) you can push forward, either through some struggle or through easy flow of energy.  Again, much depends on the planets making aspects and the houses involved.

Transiting Venus is conjunct within minutes to this New Moon phase.  This suggests potential for open communication with women, especially young women, potential opportunities to move into a relationship and the potential for a very social time.  These are all favourable opportunities as Venus can bring about romance especially if Mars is part of the aspect configuration. 

Transiting Jupiter is in square to this position, actually forming a Mutable Cross with Transiting Pluto and Transiting Neptune.  These latter aspects suggest some challenging conditions along the way.

A Grand Cross does suggest some struggle, although it also provides the incentive for perseverance and the energies to challenge the issues and make them work for you.  This configuration is present for everyone although it weakens rather quickly lasting only about one week.  The New Moon is part of this configuration (which is very temporary), but does suggest some early struggles and then with perseverance, potential opportunities as time goes by.

The energies of a Grand Cross usually feels like you are being pulled in several directions all at once and initially this could be cause for great pressure and a wish to move out of this difficulty.  If you are influenced due to other planetary connections, you will need to find a place (mentally) where you can view the problem without allowing yourself to own it or become completely submerged in it.  View the potential outcome as a positive one, even if it looks rather bleak.  A positive mental attitude is always suggested under any conditions we are faced with in life.

Enjoy this New Moon and make it work to your benefit.  You can expect to see the initial changes influenced by these energies within several days following the influence of the new Moon.  Nurture the seeds so that you can enjoy a harvest down the road.  It is said that much of what you begin now will reach fruition when the Full Moon moves into the sign of Gemini in six months time.

MERCURY & JUPITER NO LONGER IN RETROGRADE IN ASTROLOGY

As of May 9^, 2016, Jupiter went from retrograde to direct.

As of May 22, 2016, Mercury also went direct.  Mercury had been retrograde from April 28, 2016, and during the retrograde motion, it is not a good time to make plans and set things in motion.  These influences have now cleared and you may notice a release of sorts as there actually have been as many as five planets in retrograde during this time period. 

Jupiter went retrograde in January, 2016, and although it does not have the same effects as Mercury, Jupiter often suggests that the learning principles have been challenged and it may have felt as though we were going nowhere or at the very least, moving at a snail’s pace.  In reality, retrograde planets indicate reflection and deeper introspection depending on where they are located in our charts, as well as any planets they aspect as they make their way backwards through the zodiac. 

Mars is still in retrograde motion and will remain there until the end of June, 2016.  Mars’ energy pushes us forward and we may feel that we have been held back in our movement, particularly on a spiritual level, in our religious views, in travel plans, and/or through litigation, because of the retrograde motion of Jupiter.  We should feel some relief now and again when Mars goes direct and we may experience a sudden release of pressure and a movement forward in life.  Mars went retrograde mid-April, 2016, and we may have felt stagnated or had less energy, including sexual energy, during its retrograde motion.

Remember that the houses that these planets are transiting through will be the areas of life affected.  It is also important to look to see where these planets were located in the natal chart.  If we have planets that have been affected by these retrogrades (in particular if they have held positions of major impact --conjunction, square, or opposition), then the direct motion will affect us on a more profound level.  The greater the number of planets and important points (ASC, MC, DC, and IC) that they touch, the stronger the impact in our chart.

Mercury was in retrograde from 23-14 degrees Taurus.  Jupiter was in retrograde from 23 to 14 degrees Virgo and Mars will be in retrograde from 8 degrees Sagittarius to 23degrees Scorpio.  We can tabulate the times especially by conjunction when these planets once again pass over these critical degrees and once again touch sensitive areas in our charts.

This has been a challenging times for those that have been affected and especially for those that had any of these planets retrograde when they were born.  We should feel much more freedom of movement and a sense of clear direction as these planets go direct again. 

Please share your experiences with us.  It would be interesting to read your experiences with regards to how these energies affected each of our lives.  Please be sure to post your comments on this post on the Holm Astrology’s page as we cannot read comments written on this post when it has been shared by others.  We would love to hear from you.

INTEGRATED HOAX

You might ask yourself, “What doors are in front of me that I am unable to open?”  “What events will I be part of during this journey?”  “What part will I play if anything in these events?”  “Will I be able to perform my duties and fulfill my calling?”

These are questions of someone who has doubts especially in self.  These can be reflections of someone who may be unwilling to let go and let life. 

No door will remain locked if we are willing to utilize the key.  More often than not, we are the keys to these symbolic locked doors in life.  The answers we look for are not found on the other side of life’s veil.  The answers we need are wrapped in each and every moment of living.  Realization is not some far-out ideas or imagined concepts that will suddenly show themselves to you.  As long as we are open to all possibilities, the answers are at our finger tips.  We do not have to go searching.

What we are searching for are not fantastic concepts or fictional ideas.  Truth is very simple and available to us each and every day.  It never truly eludes us and is not found behind closed doors.  It is not dormant and it does not need to be awakened.  It is already part of each of us yet some may struggle to push it deep down within.  It is part of simple everyday awareness and it lives forever in the eternal moment. 

We have to simply allow and know that all answers are within grasps.  Listen and we will hear.  Pay attention and we will recognize.  Accept life in its simplest form.  Do not complicate the equation.  Simply enjoy life and see the glories places it will take us.  Have no expectations.  We simply cannot image where that will take us.  Understand that our minds will interfere but even this interference eventually becomes recognizable and controlled.

The integrated hoax that deceives us has us looking for something so peculiar that we feel it is too difficult to find and that it takes tremendous efforts to realize.  The simple fact is that we are already living our perfect lives.  We are looking so hard for something other than what we have that we take away from the riches we are already endowed with.  We have been conned into thinking that the perfect life is something that is always out of our reach and as long as we keep searching for more than the perfection we already have, it will never be enjoyed.  We never seem to find the answers to our questions because we have not accepted the answers which have already been provided to us. 

Live in the beautiful, perfect moment.  Life offers nothing more than this....this, right now!   Stop....breathe......look around you and truly see your surroundings.  See the beauty in all that is.  Feel the rush of energy that connects each and every one of us – all living things.  YOU are part of this miracle.  We need nothing more than what we have in this very moment to experience life to its fullest!

THE LIGHT WITHIN

Regardless of where life takes us or even the path that we are on during this journey, we have a radiant light within that shines constantly.  It does not matter where you are at any given moment in time, it is ever present and never wains.  It is brilliant….. always.

This inner light is our higher most self.  This is our connection to source...this is source.  It reflects who we are and lights the way along our journey.  This inner light is in perfect harmony with all that is.  It is love and peace.  We can call it happiness, we can call it love, we can call it source.........

This light, this guiding force lights our path every moment of everyday, regardless of how alone we may feel at any given moment.  It is the quiet voice that assists us in times of strife.  It is the guiding beacon that points the way.  It is the quiet knowing that always is.  This quiet knowing will intensifies as we begin to recognize its presence.  It nurtures growth.  It soothes pain.  It relieves anguish.  Its potential knows no bounds.

Call it love....call it creation....    Call this what you will, but know that this inner light is who we are at our very essence.   It is the flower of existence that never fades.

THE ELEMENT EARTH IN ASTROLOGY

Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn falls under the element Earth in Astrology. 

Taurus individuals need to build financial security and a stable and reliable retirement.  They are security-minded and persistent in their efforts.  They are considered stable individuals who can be relied on.

Virgo individuals are practical, down-to-earth and very productive.  They like to work in an organized and thorough manner.  They are exacting, realistic and dependable.  They are the most reliable of the earth signs and are also security minded.  They are orderly and industrious and very earth-bound.  Virgo individuals seek to develop a stable and secure foundation from which to work from.  Stability is important as with all earth signs and they will relentlessly work towards this end.

Capricorn individuals are also very steadfast in their earthly pursuits and they also seek security in life and realize that it takes effort and persistence to reach the ultimate position in life which is tied to material success.  All three of the earth signs hold most of these characteristics in common although Capricorn is probably the most consistent and patient sign of the three.  This is largely due to the influence of Saturn, the teacher or task maker, which is their ruling planet.

If you were to give the Sun and the Moon (if in the element earth) 2 points each and the rest of the planets in the element earth including the MC and the Ascendant one point each, if you reach a total of at least 6 there would be an emphasis in this element of Earth in the natal chart.  People with six or more earth signs have a strong desire to achieve in the material sense and what they achieve has to stand the test of time and secure their future plans.  They are attuned to their senses and live in the moment when dealing in facts.  They often enjoy the physical comforts of an earthly existence and seek to become comfortable and secure as they mature into themselves.

It is a common assumption that these individuals are not overly emotional, yet they are.  They are emotional on a very deep level.  They do not show their emotions easily, particularly Capricorn which often has a challenge when trying to express their feelings.  All earth signs could be considered somewhat calculating individuals and all have goals in mind and they usually know that it takes time to reach their goals.  They are willing to wait and will not take short cuts as this would risk the overall outcome.

You would do well to associate yourself with individuals with a strong earth influence as they will be reliable and steadfast companions.  They will offer up their best to help you find security in your life, at least in a monetary sense and will work hard in relationships to create a firm foundation that will stand the test of time.
