LISTEN TO YOUR LOVING INNER VOICE

It can be somewhat challenging when after a lifetime of listening and adhering to your ego that you begin to recognize and hear the quiet soothing voice that radiates love and compassion from within. 

The ego may have held a dominant role in your life for many years but recognizing the inner voice as truth, will slowly release ego’s unyielding grip and its domination which is powered by fear.

The ego will attempt to stand in the way of the truth offered by the inner voice that constantly reminds us of our true self.  We can rely on the inner voice for guidance even though our ego will tell us that this is not true. Our ego will argue that even if this information is true, we are not worthy.  We can expect this inner voice, whispered by our higher self, our guides or source, to prove to us over time of its existence.  It never fails and always promotes strength.

The ego searches for ways to weaken our resolve and tells us often that no such inner personality exists and that we are under its total control. 

When we learn to listen to the inner voice for guidance and assistance it becomes louder and stronger and the ego loses its grip.  It can take time to reach this place of understanding and we will be tempted during the process to let go and give up.  We will be told that what we are searching for does not exist and that no matter how hard we try we are held captive although being held captive is not how this will be expressed.

We can make a choice on what directive to follow and we always have control on what we want to do with this new found information, but we must recognize how the ego operates, and over time, we will learn how to decipher between what is ego and what is truth. 

The time has come to move out of the grips of ego.  We are no longer held without allowing ourselves to be held.  The time is ripe for action.  What we can do with this freedom?  We can manifest a life that resonates with purpose and allows us flight in the process.

FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN

We will be experiencing the energies of the Full Moon in the sign of Capricorn on the 19^th of July. 

The Full Moon suggests that it is time to harvest the seeds that you planted during the new Moon in Capricorn six months ago.  The energies of the Full Moon help to bring your plans into fruition. 

It is time to act, if you are prepared that is, as Capricorn is a sign associated with the organization of plans and using practical means to achieve whatever it is you have set out to do.  It is also a time to have a close look at these ideas.  Are you ready?  Have you prepared accordingly and taken the time to create your foundation to set these things in motion?  If you are prepared and you have set the groundwork in place, now may be the time to reap your rewards or take action.  Much will depend on the amount of time you have taken preparing and how solid the foundation is that you have set.  If you are not ready or have fallen short, now could be the time when you should pick up the pieces and begin anew or change direction.  You may have to count your losses and drop the project all together if this is what needs to be done.

The house location of the Full Moon will define what area of life we are talking about for your specific chart.  If, for example, the Full Moon is in your tenth house, the house that is naturally ruled by Capricorn, now may be the time to act on your career choices, to ask for that promotion or start your own business. 

The Full Moon will be at 27 degrees 40 minutes Capricorn and if you have any planets making a connection to this degree, especially by conjunction, this could be a very significant period in your life.  Have a look at how this degree of the Full Moon is being aspected in your chart by natal planets and other transits and progressions as this will help you understand what obstacles you might be facing or how smooth these plans will materialize.  You can give yourself a ten degree angle of influence.  As a result, any planet between 22 degrees and 2 degrees will be in the orb of impact.

Capricorn’s energies are associated with organization, responsibility, opportunity to move forward after diligent work, ambition, patience which is often part of the process with a Full Moon in Capricorn and persistence.  These are requirements that meet the criteria of this Full Moon.  You will have to be persistent and you cannot allow negativity to enter into the equation.  Understand that Capricorn requires you to work hard for your rewards and nothing comes easily.  You reap what you sow.  Often patience becomes a virtue and a lesson well learned during this cycle.

It is time to move ahead in your objectives and the area of life affected can become very productive for you if you take the necessary time and make the proper plans. 

All the best in your future endeavours and make sure you use this opportunity to advance your cause.

TRANSITING URANUS RETROGRADE AND DIRECT

Uranus’ is a very revolutionary planet as its energies seek freedom of expression and have a strong desire to remove themselves from anything that has gone stale or no longer serves a viable purpose.  Uranus’ energy acts in an unexpected manner and you can never be totally sure how it will react under pressure. 

Under most conditions, the area of life being affect by Uranus is the house it is transiting through especially in the retrograde cycle.  There is often a feeling that something has to change or be shaken up somewhat before its actual expression is activated.  Quite often you get warnings of necessary changes in the area of life under review and then when it turns direct either you make the necessary changes or life makes things happen for you.  If you choose to do nothing then life will often take a leading role and quite often it is not overly pleasant in its expression.  Things can happen on the spur of the moment, suddenly, unexpectedly, without warning.  With Uranus, you can expect the unexpected.

When a planet is in retrograde, the energies related to the planet and the house(s) it is transiting are stifled or held back.  The energy is turned inward and a time for review is at hand.  It is a time to re-think things, to re-do things and in an attempt to repair things, you can prepare for when the energies are released and then move forward in the new direction of your choice.  The best time to move forward in your objectives is when the planet goes direct.

Uranus suggests that this is a time for inner reflection not only about your life but on a more personal level – the level of “who you are”.  It often provides you with more freedom of expression and you just want to be you, or the new you.  This is particularly so if Uranus is retrograde in your birth chart.  (Any planet that is retrograde in the birth chart becomes more powerful when it turns retrograde through transit.)

Uranus is known as the awakener and this is what it will try to achieve in the area of life dictated by the house it is transiting in your chart.  You should also have a look at the natal placement of Uranus by house and also by aspect as this will give you clues into how things might unfold.  As with all of the outer planets, Uranus will make suggestions along the way but it will often create a reaction with little or no direction from you. 

Life happens and things change.  Uranus will be the culprit behind these actions, but remember regardless of how drastic and challenging the conditions may be, Uranus always provides you with exactly what you need.  The end result is beneficial.

When Uranus goes direct this will often be the time when these areas of life that are involved will be motivated to move towards the new, to make necessary changes but can be in disruptive ways but just for the moment.  Do not spend any time worrying about how things might manifest, as Uranus acts on impulse and without warning and often releases in ways that you cannot be prepared for. 

Some people fear changes.  Those who are more evolved, or open to the new, know that when the timing is ripe and change is necessary, it should be welcomed with open arms.  Uranus will take you where you need to go, so be open and listen.  You will know which avenue to take, if life does not dictate, that is.

ENJOY THE RIDE

Go back in time even just a few years.  How much has life changed over this short period?  We bet you have made some remarkable changes and experienced growth.

Not only have you made changes internally but you will also recognize that the world around you has also been remodeled and is now more suited to the newly emerging you.  It is obvious that the outer appearance in the world is a reflection of what has and is taking place on the inside.  You are most certainly on the move and new horizons are in your view.

This is a great opportunity to contemplate and/or meditate on where you have come from and where you find yourself now.  Extend this contemplation onto how you currently view yourself.  Objectively, review and recognize what has taken place.  Now ask yourself where you want to be say two years down the road from now. 

You can now put those thoughts and ideas on the backburner as all will unfold as it should precisely at the right time in precisely the most appropriate manner as is possible.

You are beginning to become secure in your attitude towards and intentions for life.  You are ever creating, sometimes in a conscious means and sometimes from an unconscious means, but you are always creating. 

Enjoy the ride.  Be open to change. Accept life as it is, for you know full well that you are setting the course through your intentions for your as a person and for your future.  There are no mistakes, only twists and turns in the road.  You are on your way, taking one step at a time.  Be patient.  The process is perfect exactly the way it unfolds.

SATURN IN RETROGRADE AND DIRECT MOTION

Saturn is the planet of restriction, delays, obstacles and hard work.  It is known as the task maker or the teacher of the Zodiac.  Saturn by birth position usually shows an area of life that we have to work at in order to make things succeed.  If Saturn is poorly aspected in the birth chart this is doubly so, although Saturn also offers rewards for those with diligent work ethics.

Saturn while in its direct motion through transit suggests that there will be time delays, limitations and boundaries to overcome, unlike most planets in their direct cycle.  When Saturn turns retrograde which is about 140 days a year, its energies are quite the contrary.  The retrograde motion of Saturn may be a time when you feel less restricted and held back, although signing agreements or making major decisions is not recommended.  This is a time when you can rethink what action you can take in order to facilitate growth when the timing is better.  This is a planning stage when you can actually take great strides forward when other planets trigger the appropriate timing factors.

Saturn has a 29 year cycle and usually retrogrades about 15 degrees in each sign.  It usually moves into retrograde up to 8-9 degrees during its cycle.  As Saturn is linked with achievement, ambition and delivers what is truly deserved, when the Sun (also linked to ambition) through transit aspects Saturn, its square to Saturn often brings some struggles with regards to your goals and aspirations.  If it trines Saturn, the blended energies of the Sun and Saturn offer some stability in these areas. 

Saturn in its retrograde cycle is somewhat similar to Jupiter, in that it offers opportunities to succeed in your endeavours and planning is a fundamental action while Saturn goes through its retrograde motion.  The normal cautionary application of Saturn is softened during its retrograde cycle.

Saturn’s energies also deals with accountability and the house or houses that it retrogrades through will make you answerable to these specific areas of life being tested.  Saturn tends to test you and if you failed to do what you should have been doing during its direct motion, you may be held accountable for your actions or non-action when Saturn again turns direct.  If, on the other hand, you were working with the energies of Saturn while in direct motion, the areas of life dictated by house position will offer rewards for due diligence and hard work.  Saturn rewards when applicable.

In closing, Saturn direct offers opportunities to move ahead in life although with some caution attached to the process.  Saturn retrograde suggests a time for evaluation and planning and then to move ahead with caution once Saturn moves direct again and when other planets may trigger potential activities.

PEER PRESSURE AND THE UNFOLDING STORY OF YOU

Peer pressure applies to all age group.  Although most of us associated peer pressure with the formative years, many of us allow this pressure to influence us well into our adult years.  Fitting into their group of friends is very important to most people.  Unfortunately, we act as we “think” others expect us to act and as a result, we stray at times far from our “real” self just to feel as though we fit in.  We display a different image to each individual we meet.

There does come a time, however, that we begin to understand our own uniqueness and we slowly disconnect ourselves from the need to be as others think we should be.  In reality most other people do not see us the way we see ourselves.  Ask ten people to define who you are and you will receive ten different descriptions.  So at some point you will have to ask yourself who are you really trying to please. 

In our process of trying to please, we lose ourselves along the way but eventually we begin a search for self.  We realize we are lost within ourselves.  If we are honest, we must admit that the best person we can be is who we truly are.

The difficulty with self acceptance lies in filtering out what it is we like and dislike about who we are.  Self-awareness is a process that can be very painful, but arriving at an honest solution is the first step in making desired changes to who you want to be.  You cannot change anything about yourself until you become aware of who you actually are.

If we take an honest look of the core person, we will discover many, many character traits that are quite admirable. 

To assist in allowing true development, take a moment and write down, with complete honesty, all challenging personality quirks as well as the encouraging character traits.  This will assist in initiating the process.   Acknowledgement is step one.  As you uncover these characteristics decide whether you want them to be part of the new you or something that you no longer want to identify with.

Each time we notice unwanted reactions, we must reminder ourselves that this reaction is not who we are.  It takes time for this awakening to unfold but the process has begun. 

In six months from now, again take notes on what your positive character traits are and what unwanted conditions exist.  Compare the two notes.  You will be amazed at the rapid change that has taken place and how much more comfortable you are with the true you.  Yes; it does takes time, but it is well worth the effort. 

Happiness is a choice.  If you are unhappy with your life, one of the reasons may be that you are not being your true self.  Awaken to the possibilities and to the “you” who is waiting to be released.
