SATURN SQUARE NEPTUNE 2016



Transiting Saturn has been squaring transiting Neptune since the early spring of this year (2016) and will continue to remain in this aspect until early November, when it finally moves out of orb of Neptune.  If you have natal planets in and around 10 degrees of any sign (within the orb of 7-17degrees), you will have been experiencing the energies of this transiting square between these two energies.  It would be particularly powerful if you have either a planet or angle in Sagittarius or Pisces, as this would be square one of these transiting planets or conjunct one of them.  If you have both Sagittarius and Pisces influenced in your natal chart, this would be a very powerful combination.

Saturn squaring Neptune tends to stifle the energies of Neptune and at the same time when this transit is finished, it will have built a solid structure in regards to what the energies represent.  Have a look at what houses will be affected to give you further information as to how these energies are unfolding.  Saturn is the great disciplinarian and teacher and will make things move slowly or even completely stop Neptune’s energies.  Neptune has to do with spirituality and psychic inspiration, visions, clairvoyance and other energies along this line.

With Saturn and Neptune squaring one another, you may have found that your pursuit towards psychic endeavours has been held up and stalled, almost as though your resolve is being tested.  If you are psychic, you may find it challenging to read or receive.  We are all psychic in our own ways so you are not alone in these abilities.  Although Saturn is making things a little challenging and you may feel somewhat stagnated or held back.  Its energies are, however, building a solid foundation based on hard work, diligent effort, and an ongoing pursuit of the psychic and mystical practices.   So although you have felt these restrictions, you are building a structure and solidifying your credentials as this time passes.  The rewards will be significant when Saturn releases its hold on progress in this area of life in November.

Another manifestation of this same square is that in a business sense, you may feel as though you are not completely sure of the direction that things are taking you.  It is as though a vail of uncertainty or a fear of failure has been part of the process for this during the square.  Perhaps you are attempting to start a business and somehow things are not fitting as you would like or a cloud of uncertainty seems to be standing in the way of progress.  Neptune tends to cloud matters and makes things very unclear and void of direction when it is in aspect.

Remember to review the houses that are involved in the equation as these areas of life will be highlighted.  Also have a look at the mid-point of these two transiting planets which would be approximately 25 degrees Capricorn.  This degree will be the central focus of these energies and any planets within orb will be highly accentuated and strongly affected by these powerful planetary energies.  Any planet or angle in this degree will be defined by house position, a highly energized area connecting the energies of these two planets.  Midpoints bring into focus one more ingredient into the equation and will be highly focused during this entire period.

Even if you do not have planets in these areas, the same energies are still affecting you but perhaps not in such an intrusive way.  You will still have to work through this and you will also feel a release once this aspect has completed its course.

GUIDELINES IN DELINEATING A PROGRESSED CHART



The progressed chart is another tool available to an Astrologer.  The progressed chart, along with transits and the solar chart (for a year from birthday to birthday) are the three main factors in determining how the energies of the planets will unfold over the coming year.  Advanced Astrologers can also use the midpoints and more in the delineation of events and timing.

The progressed Sun, Midheaven and Ascendant all move approximately one degree of arc each year, as well as all the house cusps.  This varies minutely each year.  The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all have a three year affect, while the outer planets move much slower and their orb of influence is very tight.  Some Astrologers use a 10-15 minute orb of influence with the outer planets.  Each day of life after birth equals one year of life in a progressed chart, so your chart will have moved a full 30 days forward at age 31.  The first year of life is the first day of life.

The progressed Sun, Midheaven and Ascendant are very significant in the progressed chart, just as they are in the birth or natal chart.  The angular points (MC-Midheaven, ASC-Ascendant, DC-Descendant and IC-Immum Coeli) are activity areas of the astrology chart.  We can call them action points.  These are very important indicators as to when activity will take place.  These angular points become active when a planet is within one degree of being direct to their degree.  However, activity or intensity increases the closer they move to being direct (or at the same degree).

The progressed planets when in conjunct (0 degrees) to one of these angular house cusps will play a significant role that year of life and the energies will mix with the sign on the cusp of the house.  The progressed Moon moves approximately one degree per month and when activated this time is often suggestive of change on some level and/or some emotional interaction.  It can also be used as a timer.  The Moon’s influence would be 3 months, one degree approaching, one degree while direct and one degree while separating.  Each degree equals one month of time.  If, therefore, a planet is at 12 degrees of a sign, the progressed Moon will be active from 11-13 degrees of that sign or in major aspect forming an angle to this placement in the chart.

The progressed chart is very similar when being delineated as the natal chart, but the orb of influence is not as wide, at least in my opinion.  The influence becomes stronger the closer to exact the aspect between the two planets or planets to angular cusps.

Progressions are experiences that are on a more internal level, but they can still activate energies during the lives of individuals on an external level.  In my opinion, the Sun and Moon and angular points are very significant and can affect the individual on an energetic and event oriented manner.

All of the major aspects hold relevance just as they do in the natal chart (Conjunction, Sextile, Square, Trine, Quincunx (although I personally use a smaller orb of influence with the Quincunx) and Opposition.  The minor aspects are also important but again you must use a much smaller orb of influence that the orb used in a natal chart.

You can have the inner progressed planets affecting the natal chart indicating activity or influence, as well as transits influencing the progressed chart.

The progressed chart defines how the individual is developing in life through the movement of the planets forward.  Progressions are a wonderful tool available to define how we are evolving in our personal life.

NEW VIRGO MOON - SEPTEMBER 1, 2016



It is once again time to set the seeds of our intentions (New Moon). 

With the new Moon in Virgo, it is a particularly good time for organizing and planning so that in the future we can put our goals into motion.  Our organizational skills will be rewarded with clarity and understanding if we pay attention to the details.  Be careful not to obsess over the details, however.  Stress is exhausting and the cause of “dis-ease”.

Our need for planning is reiterated by Mercury which is currently in retrograde motion.  Be sure to do your homework before you move forward.  Seeds will not grow if they are not nurtured.

The energies of this New Moon want us to be of service, to be hands on, to heal.  It is a perfect time to put such as Reiki into practice or maybe plan to take a course to learn this ancient art of healing.  It is also a perfect time to be of service to our own human vehicle – our bodies.  Plans for a healthy new beginning would be ideal for seeds to be planted under the Moon in Virgo.

Stay positive for the rewards we reap in life are mirrored by our attitude and the seeds we plant.

MIDPOINTS IN ASTROLOGY



Midpoints in Astrology are considered one of the more successful astrological applications for predicting.  A midpoint is the exact halfway point between two planets, or two significant points (Ascendant, Midheaven) or astrological bodies such as Chiron.  The Part of Fortune, as well as the Vertex, or other bodies that you use to delineate an Astrology Chart can also be used when calculating midpoints.

For example, if you have Uranus at 11 degrees Cancer and the Moon at 28 degrees Scorpio then the midpoint would be 19 degrees Virgo.  If by chance you have a planet or significant point in the natal chart that is within a one degree orb of 19 degrees Virgo, that planet would have Uranus and Moon connotations brought into the mixture of these planetary positions.  If for example, you have Mars within that one degree orb, Mars would be heavily influenced by Uranus and the Moon.

With transits and progressions, any planetary link to this position would carry these overtones as well as the conjunction to Mars.  You can also use the semi-square, the square, the sesquiquadrate and the opposition when delineating this configuration.  These aspects are all divisions of 45 degrees and will bring action, will create events and will make the energies of the planets involved quite noticeable to the individual.

Midpoints are very significant when deciphering potential events related to this equation which should also include the houses involved.   As mentioned, use an orb of no more than one degree when deciphering what potential situations may occur.  Midpoints are significant because they will provide the astrologer with a clear definition of what potential lies within the bounds of these transfigurations.

Midpoints can also be applied to the natal chart as the midpoint becomes a focal point when transits or progression join up and make contact with these sensitive points.  In most cases when the conjunction is activated between the two planets or significant points and the aspect is direct within one minute, you can certainly expect something to happen…..what depends on the other influences.

The house location of the midpoint will provide you with the area of life affected and you will also have to look at the houses the two bodies are located within in the natal chart to provide a clearer picture.  Then take into consideration what the planets represent and how this area of life will be affected.  For example, the Moon and Uranus and Mars would suggest an emotional experience that would be sudden and unexpected with the potential for aggressive action or progressive movement in the areas of life indicated (houses).

Midpoints can pinpoint events although the more angles involved, the harder it is to delineate.  Using the midpoint between the two planets is often sufficed in providing additional information.  Pay particular attention to the midpoints between the Sun and the Moon, and the Ascendant and the Midheaven.

WHAT IS STANDING IN YOUR WAY?


Are you stuck or does it feel like you are at a standstill? 

What is causing this lack of progress?  Before you point a finger of blame at someone have a close look to see what it is that you might do to change the direction of your life.  Is it actually someone else whom is holding you back or is it your ego that is playing the game of “It is not my fault”?

If you feeling as though you are at the mercy of life, perhaps a change of attitude is what you really need.  Perhaps a change of mindset and a little push from complacency might be in order.

If after careful review, you honestly believe that someone in your life is truly holding you back then step past their influence and stand on your own.  Perhaps a new direction is what is called for.  Perhaps breaking free from this individual is what is actually needed.  This is not to say that when life is holding you back that you break free and run.  What it is saying is that you may have to make your own way when after careful examination you feel the path has obstructions.

In most cases you stand in your own way.  The changes or new beginnings that you are in search of can come about with ease if you change your outlook on whatever you see as intrusive.  Your ego’s schemes are often what stand in your way.  By following these negative suggestions, you are your own stumbling blocks.  You can overcome and change direction when you change your outlook.  You are in command of your life, your reasoning, even your future direction.  Ride the wave but stand tall in the face of adversity and claim your rightful place in life.  You can only do this when you take responsibility for your life.

TRANSITING MERCURY AND THE MC (MIDHEAVEN)



In general, transiting Mercury moves quickly through the Zodiac.  It moves through a sign in about 3 weeks.  When it goes retrograde, which occurs about 3 times a year, making plans like signing agreements are best to be left until it goes direct again, usually in about 4-5 weeks.  Mercury goes retrograde today. 

Many with some astrological knowledge fear Mercury retrograde but during retrograde, we should be utilizing this time to prepare and get things ready for when Mercury returns direct again.

Mercury retrograde is especially strong in an astrology chart if it conjuncts, squares, or is in opposition to an angle or planet by less than three degrees and especially so if it is retrograde in your birth chart.

When Mercury moves across the Midheaven, this will be a time when you will find that your profession or work will have more importance.  Perhaps this will be a time when you must prepare for upcoming events, or times when you will make plans that are significant because of the impact that they might have on others or yourself. 

Communication, in one form or another (either literally through discussion or perhaps in the written form), becomes more important.  In general, the Midheaven is not directly related to your personal life so the affairs will not have an impact on your private life.

If in retrograde, this should be a time when you review any upcoming details that will need to be addressed.  You can analyse this information and put the finishing touches on it so that it will be in perfect working order when the time is appropriate to bring this information to those in positions of authority or those that will be affected by these plans.  If you put plans into action during the time when Mercury is in retrograde, the potential for the plans to not work out as planned is heightened.  This is not to say that things will not work but that they might not run as smoothly as they might have if Mercury had been direct.  On the other hand, if you are naturally drawn to procrastination then the retrograde period often suggests that you pursue things now. 

Mercury rules the thinking process and how the mind works.  The Midheaven or MC has to do with plans, your occupation, life’s status, your ego and public reputation.  It is important to recognize which stage Mercury will be in when reviewing material that you want to make public.  The time that Mercury will be in effect (through aspect) can last much longer if it is in retrograde and Mercury will pass the MC three times before it finally goes direct again.  Make sure you use these energies appropriately and time things according, if this is at all possible.  If you cannot time your plans around the retrograde and direct cycles, move forward with some caution but always remain optimistic that you will succeed.
