DO NOT LOSE YOUR PERSPECTIVE

This is not the post that was written for today but this morning as I sat to proofread today's post somehow this post from last year opened without my realizing it. Who am I to argue. Here is the post that the powers that be want to be published today.....someone must need to read it!

DO NOT LOSE YOUR PERSPECTIVE

Do not allow yourself to lose focus of your own personal ideologies.  It is important not only during good times but especially through hard lessons to continue to share, love and be compassionate.  We must always be the mirror image of what we want to see in our world around us.

It is said that currently we are in a transitional stage.  As with all transition periods, comes times of turbulence.  Be compassionate and share love with your fellow brothers and sisters.  Stay focused on the positive.  It is plentiful, if we care to pay attention.  We may be in a state of flux but it is important to stay focused on our true journey, which is based on of love.  We can rise above any global event.  When we focus on the blessings which are too numerous to list in a day, we keep our energy levels high above the levels that perpetuate fear and hatred.

Live each day in a manner that serves you best.  Do not allow the actions of others to intrude into your loving world.  If we live in fear and hatred, then the actions of those lacking in love have achieved their goals.  Peace, contentment, joy.....these cannot be obtained through violence, discontent, hatred. 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated this clearly:

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral,

begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.

Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.

Through violence you may murder the liar,

but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.

Through violence you may murder the hater,

but you do not murder hate.

In fact, violence merely increases hate.

So it goes.

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence,

adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness:

only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

We are one.  Your beliefs in life are not worth having if they cannot stand up during times of trial.  Let the light of source continue to be your guide and stay true to your own personal journey.

Nothing can bend the strong arm of compassion and together as a force we can help channel hate in different directions.  Hate is the absence of love.  If you fill hate with love, it can no longer exist.  All actions create waves of energy.  These waves are continual and once they have returned, you will reap the harvest of what you have sown.  Life looks after life and what we set in motion today will have ramifications in our world at future dates.

Acts of love and compassion raise your vibration and in so doing raise the vibration of all that surrounds you.  Rise above the seeds of fear that have been planted.  Find that place within that resonates with love at the highest level. 

Together our energies create the whole.  There is only one life to live for the moment, one life to give in the moment.  Here, today, is your opportunity to make this world a better place for you, for everyone, for the whole.

FINAL DISPOSITOR IN ASTROLOGY

The final Dispositor in Astrology is basically a chain of command.  One planet, sometimes two planets, rule the chart.  If there is a planet in its own sign, for example, Saturn in Capricorn, it becomes the final Dispositor or chief in command. 

The Dispositor pattern is determined by the planets in the signs.  For example, start with the Ascendant and for this example, we will use Sagittarius as the rising sign (Ascendant).  With this example of Sagittarius as the rising sign, which is ruled by Jupiter (the natural ruler of Sagittarius),  Jupiter is in Aries and so Aries natural ruler is Mars.  Mars is in Scorpio and Scorpio is naturally ruled by Pluto.  Pluto is in the sign of Leo and Leo rules the Sun.  The Sun is in Aquarius and Aquarius is ruled by Uranus.  Uranus is in the sign of Cancer and Cancer is ruled by the Moon and the Moon is ruled by Scorpio bringing the ruler back to Pluto. 

We have not yet touched on Venus which is in Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter and Jupiter is in Aries.  We have already followed that route which brought us to Pluto. 

We have not touched on Saturn which is in Libra ruled by Venus which is ruled by Sagittarius going back again to Jupiter and following that same route to Pluto. 

We have not touched on Neptune which is ruled by Venus and Venus is in Sagittarius bring us back to Jupiter and ending that cycle to Pluto.  Pluto is the common denominator and will be the final Dispositor in our example.

Saturn in Libra and Venus in Capricorn are planets in mutual reception.  Libra rules Venus and Saturn rules Capricorn and this is what creates the mutual reception.  These two planets will be very significant in our chart example and in the person’s life that is being prepared for.  Having these two planets in each other’s signs stop the chain of command and makes them both very significant in the chart.

If planets are in their own sign in a chart, for example Saturn in Capricorn, the examination goes no further and this becomes the final Dispositor.  Sometimes there are two interplanetary links that constantly come to the forefront.  In this case, both of these planets are extremely important in the birth chart and together share the rulership of the chart.

The ruler of the Ascendant is also been called the ruler of the chart, and its planetary ruler is of extreme importance as well.  For example, Sagittarius as an ascendant will make Jupiter extremely important in the life of this individual with Sagittarius on the ascendant.  If Libra were the rising sign, then Venus would be very important to this individual.  Remember that the ascendant sign is how we relate to the world through our outside expression and the individual with Libra rising would then be very social, very pleasing to meet, would seek harmony and balance in life and would resonate in this way to those that they meet especially during their initial meeting.

The final Dispositor is the planet which other planets depend on and this planet will have a profound affect in our lives.  In the example we used at the start of this post, Pluto will play a prominent role in the unfolding of this individual and Pluto will have assistance from Jupiter.  As a result, these two planetary links provide the needed stimulus to propel this individual forward to reach their life’s objectives.  Transformations will play a big part in that unfolding. 

Follow your chain of command and see which planet or planets affect you in a direct and creative manner.  This will be the driving force and motivating factor in your life. 

The final Dispositor pattern is known as the Dispositor Tree.

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT THE MC

Uranus’ energies bring about revolution, sudden change, drastic action and awakening.  Its action is dramatic and often leads to required development and inspiration or catastrophic change.  These developments are brought about through outside forces in our lives which will lead to a much more evolved understanding of our life’s circumstances. 

Uranus often provides you with insight into what it is in your life that needs changing and suggests a new direction is a requirement for the soul’s development.  If you follow through on Uranus’s suggestions, the disruption, although often dynamic, will not be as disruptive and awe-inspiring as it would be if you did not move forward voluntarily into these new dimensions of life.  If you are hesitant or refuse to budge from your standpoint, the result is often much more forceful and disruptive.

The Midheaven or MC deals with your occupation, your profession and your status in life and is often related to your vocation.  It also has to do with status and public recognition and is a very powerful position when transits stimulate it.  Your aspirations and dreams are also associated with the MC as well as your ego representation of how you are regarded by others because of what you have or have not accomplished usually in a professional way in life.  Your individuality is often a reflection of what you do for a living and the standards you set for yourself.  These are linked to the Midheaven as well as the Ascendant, although the Ascendant is more of an outward expression of whom you are—the you as seen by the public.

When Uranus makes a conjunction (conjunctions emphasis whatever they are transiting) your career is subject to change.  If you have been content or happy about how life is moving along with regards to your career, this conjunction may provide you with even more opportunities and recognition for your efforts.  If your work and career opportunities have been stifled and you need a change of scenery, this will probably be the time when these changes come to the surface. 

Uranus wants to break free of anything that has been restricting growth and limiting you.  It seeks out new things and pushes you in a direction, although not often by choice, to move you to a new path.  Uranus although often disruptive is known as the awakener and forces you to open your eyes and see things as they are.  Uranus often makes you realize that a new direction is inevitable, so why not move forward now.

The midheaven is also related to the parents and when Uranus conjuncts, squares or makes any major aspect to this position, it is quite possible that you will see changes coming to them.  The harder aspects often suggest changes of an unsettling nature.  The easier aspects such as the trine and sextile and sometimes the conjunction may offer opportunities and pleasant change for them.  This could relate to either of your parents although the most dynamic one is usually the one that will be impacted by this aspect.

With all this information in mind and when you are about to go into a transit of importance affecting the MC, you may be more ready for change and you can use these energies appropriately to help you move in the intended direction. 

Remember Astrology points the way but in most cases you are at the wheel.  You have opportunities to make these changes for yourself or at the very least have the potential to direct your thoughts on and attitude towards how you want to be affected by life’s conditions.  Keep your attitude positive and you will enjoy a positive life.

OUR PHYSICAL CONDITIONING AND OUR AWARENESS

It is important to pay attention to our body and its reaction to life.  Our body will tell us when something is out of sort and also when we need to find balance.  Paying attention and over-reacting are two completely different approaches to our physical condition.  Some can become obsessive with the body and all its functions and intricacies.  They notice every quirk and minor malfunction or ailment and become overly concerned leaning towards anxieties and obsessions with their health.

We can use our bodies as a gauge on how we are reacting to events and people in our lives.  When life is out of balance and we begin taking on too much (This not only include things that are conflicting and harmful for us, but also when we become overly influenced by stimuli in life) and mentally, physically and spiritually we are pushed beyond our healthy capacities, the body will reflect this in one way or another. 

Negativity can have profound effects on the body and when we choose to deal with these issues without owning them, we notice that we no longer feel weighted down. 

There are also times when life runs perfectly and we overdo a good thing.  This might sound rather obscure, but sometimes we burn the candle at both ends.

We tend to all conditions and events to infiltrate our calm and balance the more challenging they are.  We can become so wrapped in life’s situations that we become ill because of them.  Nervous disorders, mental disturbances and depression often follow a traumatic life experience.  These conditions certainly hinder our happiness and at times, they can even make us ill.

Living life and all its experiences is important but holding on to grief and sadness is not productive and can cause problems if you do not deal with them accordingly.  Remember we are not at the mercy of life although there will be times when this is how it appears.  We have control over our reactions to life events.  It is always in our hands as to how long we choose to be a prisoner of our reactions.  Never, however, be afraid to ask for help if the load feels too heavy.

Taking care of your body by eating properly, and regular exercise is paramount to our health.  Never underestimate the benefit of sleep.  Look after the body and its natural needs but also look after the mind by exercising it and meditating to clear it of unwanted baggage.  We can study our minds and our reactions to events as this will helps us to anticipate when we will require extended meditation periods or quiet walks in nature.  Recognize the ego’s deceptive qualities and do not be led astray.

Find balance in all things.  Do not own events or issues.  They are not yours.  They are simply events.  Recognize your triggers and be prepared but most of all nurture your vessel so that it can serve you well.

TRANSITING PLUTO IN OPPOSITION TO NATAL VENUS

Venus is often associated with love and partnership.  Pluto connected to Venus can bring about a sexual encounter with deep undercurrents.  If you are not in a sexual relationship at this time and you have transiting Pluto in opposition to Venus in your natal chart, this aspect may bring about a connection of intensity.  If you are already in a deep and committed relationship, this aspect may bring about an increase in your sexual expression. 

Oppositions are usually connected with other people and in this case, others will find you.  You will probably not be the one pursuing the encounter; it will be initiated by someone else.  This relationship may be quite powerful and have an impact in your life far deeper than anything experienced up until this point.  Watch for becoming obsessive about this encounter.   Pluto can have powerful overtones.  Pluto is connected to the subconscious and you may not recognize what has brought the two of you together although sex will certainly play a big part in the relationship.

Pluto has a tendency to transform things and in this case, it can transform you.  Watch for power struggles and being uncontrollably attracted to someone.  It might be overwhelming and out of the norm for you.  You should remember that outer forces may be taking a leading role in this relationship.  You might find that the relationship is not what you would consider enjoyable as you may not feel relaxed and you may even feel on edge.  However, somehow the relationship seems exciting and holds your attention.  Remember whether this relationship has lasting qualities or not, it will have a powerful effect on you, and life will change on some level regardless of the end result.  Enjoy it and see where it takes you.  What will you learn from one another?

In an already existing relationship, Pluto may begin the process of uncovering eccentricities within the relationship.  Perhaps one of you is not satisfied with the relationship.  Perhaps one of you is overly aggressive or controlling.  Often this can be characteristic of the partner.  Watch for your partner trying to manipulate you and sexually coheres you into doing things that you might not want to do.  Do not put yourself in a place of discomfort and recognize the relationship for what it might be becoming. 

This information is not meant to make you uncomfortable or worried.  It is just a warning as Pluto works to bring things to the surface so that you have to face them and it can be somewhat disruptive especially with a challenging aspects. 

Sometimes the relationship has to end and Pluto will be sure to make this happen if you are not progressing the way that suits your overall purpose.  Remember evolution can be found on many different channels of expression.

All relationships will undergo some form of transformation and whether it turns out to be positive (in your opinions) in nature or not, it will be best to be honest in your approach.  Who knows where this will take you.  One things is for sure, it will take you where you ultimately need to go.

New Moon in Leo

The New Moon will be at 10 degrees Leo today, August 2, 2016. 

As with all New Moon phases, the Sun and Moon are in conjunction and with this particular New Moon the Moon and Sun are also in trine to Transiting Saturn. 

A New Moon is a time for beginnings and in the sign of Leo this will be a time when you can take a leading role with moving towards a direction that not only enhances your creative potential (particularly if this New Moon is found in the fifth house), but also provides an aggressive instinctual push with reaching your objectives.

If you have had an idea or have been putting together a plan that has the potential for growth on some level, (whether this be on a personal level, through a business proposition or with the purpose of reaching a goal of any kind) this combination (especially so with Saturn providing stability and purpose) can be quite rewarding when the Full Moon in Leo reaches its culmination point in about six months’ time.

Saturn, although in trine to this conjunction of the Moon and Sun, does suggest that you take your time with these objectives and also asks you to make sure the foundation for your plans or goals is built on solid ground.  Saturn will make sure that you do the groundwork or will at least propose that you take this route so that the opportunities that are in place will have the framework for success and a prosperous outcomes.  Once again, this can be on a personal level of achievement or perhaps a business proposal.

It is wise to have a look at your natal chart and see if you have other planets making aspects to this conjunction (as well as the Transiting Saturn).  This will help you understand what areas of life are involved as well as whether you will have challenges in reaching your goals or if the transition will run smoothly.  You will have the potential for greater success in reaching your objectives if for example you have Jupiter or Venus as part of the equation and particularly so if they are in fortunate aspects to this configuration. 

It is important to always look at the natal potential in your chart when reviewing your potential for easy success or hard work.  This is not to say that a challenging natal aspect has little chance of succeeding, only that you may have to work extra hard to reach these goals and aspirations work.

If, for example, the MC is involved, this could suggest opportunities with your profession, perhaps recognition for your hard work and advancement of some kind.  If the DC is involved perhaps this will be a time for marriage or a proposal of such, or the relationship becomes more involved and has implications of longevity. 

Once again much depends on the overall condition of these areas in your birth chart.  If you are not overly acquainted or familiar with these ideas, the preparation of a chart by a reputable Astrologer is recommended.  Remember Astrology points the way, but you are always in the driver’s seat in life and you are the one that plans the route you will take.  Let’s chart the way.
