Sun In Libra

SUN IN LIBRA

The Sun moves into the sign of Libra on the September 23 in 2016. 

Libra is a sign of justice and equality.  Fairness and upholding what is best or desirable is what this sign stands for.  The “right way to live” is important to most Libra people.  This is not only emphasized inwardly and personally for Libra individuals but is also reflected outward to friends and further into culture and then even further to all of the human race.  This is the hallmark of this sign--justice first and fairness to all.

Libra’s ruling planet is Venus and the energy of Venus makes these individuals peaceful, harmony seekers and they are usually very social.  They love to please and will always take the middle ground on most of life’s issue.  In an argument or a difference of opinion, Libran individuals will stand behind both parties as they do not wish to stir the pot by supporting one person’s point of view over another’s, even if their opinion truly does sway in one direction.  They will back each person separately and stand by each one.  If by chance they happen to explore the same subject again when both parties are present together, some Libra individuals would say that they never supported one over the other.  They would try to push the attention away from themselves.  Harmony is the ultimate goal in life for these individuals and they will take whatever route that best accomplishes this purpose.

Libra is an air sign and most Libra people are intellectual by nature.  They enjoy communication although not confrontation.  They would not want to rocks the boat.  Most are very likable and pleasant in their nature.  They are friendly, social and easy to talk with.  Their aim is cooperation and will keep the peace and create harmony in life, as this is of utmost importance.

Their astrological symbol is the scales and this is how they want to live their life.  Life has to be balanced and when the scales are out of balance, life can be chaotic and they become restless.  Libra is not a balanced sign as many would think; Libra is a balancing sign. 

Because Libra is ruled by Venus, partnership and love are important factors in life.  Very few Libra people feel complete until they have met the perfect mate.  It is said that when they are in public, they are very peace-loving and will not rock the boat, but in close personal relationships that they would consider significant, they are not afraid to voice their opinions.  What they say matters and if it rocks the boat, so be but this is only with close personal relationships.  Many can actually be a little nit-picky when it comes to dealing with important partnerships in life.

When reviewing the Sun sign, look also at the house it is in.  Also check where Venus is located by house placement.  These will provide you with a clearer picture of how the Sun is manifested in the Natal chart.  Look also at any aspect from other planets making contact to the Sun.  Also, check on the aspects to Venus as these will provide further identification and also further define personality traits of the individual.  No wonder one Libra individual is so much different than the next Libra individual.  Ah, but this applies to any Sun sign.

CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE

Were you ever told when you were young to pick your friends wisely as you become what you friends are?

Those that you surround yourself with will certainly have an impact on you.  Not only do others affect us on a mental level, they can also have a bearing on our overall health.  This is not to say that the person who you invite over for coffee and a simple chat will greatly influence your physical conditioning, but they will have an effect on your overall being for that particular moment in time.  It will, of course, be in your hands just how much of an impact you allow them to have on you.

You may find that they have important information that resonated with you on a deep level and you may choose to utilize the information offered.  You will hold some of the dialogue in your conscious mind and you will also retain some of this information on a subconscious level.  Alternatively, you may decide that the conversation held little to no importance to you and you may decide to let most of it go.  How much of that information, however, is unconsciously retained? 

There are individuals, family, friends, co-workers that we spend many hours with throughout a week.  How much influence do they have on us subconsciously?  Their input is quite significant to our evolving story.  Is their influence positive in nature?

Family members are not always our best friends and some we may allow to produce much strife in our lives.  Do we wish them a loving farewell or are they part of our lesson to learn to overcome outside influences? 

To stay or to go is a very personal decision.  If we are able to block out their energies or influence, we are doing a great job.  Toxic relationships, however, can have an impact on our overall health.  No relationship should be allowed to rob us of our health and happiness.  If you find that your relationships need altering, have a look at what you can do to facilitate change on some level.  Remember, however, you cannot change someone else.  If change is to be made, it is up to you to make the adjustment.  If you have done all you can and the relationship is not improving, it is important to understand that you can only change yourself and your outlook.  You cannot force change on someone else.  If they are not willing to do the work, you have a decision to make.

On the other side of the coin, there are those relationships that simply feel good.  You feel wonderful sharing time and energy with these individuals.  Hold these relationships close and enjoy the experience.  They may be a passing encounter or a lifelong blessing.  No matter their length, they are precious. 

Each of our various relationships throughout life will offer many things and on many levels.  Do not take these relationships for granted, regardless of the challenging conditions that occur from time to time.  They are special and we are fortunate to experience them.  Some will be with us for a life time while others will have to leave far too soon.........in our opinion.

FALL EQUINOX - SEPTEMBER 22/2016

In 2016, the Fall equinox is September 22 at 10:21 a.m. EDT.

Typically the equinoxes represent the equal division of day and night.  The Spring equinox (Ostara) celebrates new beginnings and fresh starts.  The Fall equinox (Mabon) celebrates reaping the rewards of your hard labour and gathering the harvest.  The Fall equinox is a time of reflection on the harvest of your achievements and often considered a time of change.  It is linked to the sign Libra which above all else is a balancing sign.  The balance that you need to strive for is the knowing of what you need to hold on to and what you need to let go of.

Some consider this a time of sacrifice as you now reap the rewards of your labour and if you have not sown the seeds of life in the manner you should have, you may have to sacrifice because of these shortfalls and count your losses. 

Astrologically, the Fall equinox represents a balancing point of our self-image and any disapproval that is found in our view of ourselves.  We should review our goals in achieving our life’s quest and the conquests we have made in our lives.  This review will assist us in recognizing our abilities and true selves.

On the opposite side, the spring equinox is linked to the sign Aries and Aries begins things and initiates action.  These two points (spring and fall equinox) are known as cardinal points.  The cardinal points in the horoscope are known as action points.  They are used as timing devices and lead to activity, drive, ambition, and involvement.  During these cycles, you should consider this as a time of action -- either related to the start of something or the end or culmination point of whatever action you have already taken.

It is a time to actively pursue a course of action, to take control of your life and push forward in the direction of your choice.  Cardinal signs are action oriented and strive for activity that is often personally initiated.  This will be the time for you to make things happen.  Do not wait for or rely on others.

It should also be noted that Mercury goes direct again on the September 22, 2016 so you can utilize this date in particular to move forward with the plans you have been putting in place.  Mercury retrograde often suggests that things do not move forward as planned.  Things seem to stagnate or actually go “no where”.  During Mercury retrograde life is to be studied and then when it goes direct sets these plans in motion.  Many may have felt these restrictive energies of Mercury in their lives over that past several weeks.  From the end of August perhaps you noticed that things did not move ahead as planned.  Some plans never even materialized.  The period of time that Mercury is in retrograde is a time of reflection and study and making plans that could be activated during the direct cycle, or at least this is the best way to use the energies of a Mercury’s retrograde cycle.

This will be the time to push ahead or count your losses and set new things in motion.  Use the energies of the equinox to push you forward and make the changes you need to and address any situation that needs addressing.  The time has come to move beyond any stagnated stages of life that have held you back.  Now is the time to reap the rewards after a busy season of planting the seeds and nurturing growth.  These efforts are now ready to be harvested.

ALLOWING YOU TO BE YOU

Do you feel comfortable being exactly who you are?  What is your answer?  Did you hear an answer from your inner self or from your mind?  There is a difference you know.  Will you heed the quiet deep answer or will you go on living a life to suits others? 

There are many individuals who are prisoners to what others want them to be.  Some live a life completely dedicated to other people’s wants and needs.  Some hardly even know who they are because they have become so wrapped up in living up to everyone’s expectations.  They have forgotten what they need and how to bring these needs to life.

Have you come into this life to be a servant to other people’s needs or are you here to direct your own life and live the life you want (which can certainly include a higher calling of service to others)?  You cannot feed the masses if the cupboards are bare.  Choose based on all requirements including your own, regardless of what you might think others may feel.  You have a voice and you matter.  Of course you can help those in need.  Of course you will be there when someone asks for your assistance, but you must also be there to fulfill your own wants and needs.

When you realize it is perfect to be just who you are, you can be your true self regardless of differing opinions.  You can never be happy or content pretending to be something you are not. 

Be yourself.  There is no one better to be.  Why would you want to be anyone else?  You have come into this life to express self, to acknowledge self and to grow self.  How can you do this is you are not “self”?

TRANSITING PLUTO CONJUNCT THE ASCENDANT

Any transit of Pluto is considered powerful in its influence.  Since the Ascendant is opposite the seventh house cusp, this transit will affect you in a personal way with regards to others and particularly your significant other.  The people around you may influence you on a whole new level during this conjunction and because of this plus the tendency for Pluto to go beneath the surface (and in this case about who you are – the Ascendant), these people may be instrumental in creating changes in your life.

As mentioned, Pluto tends to make you go beneath the surface and during this phase, you may uncover elements of your life that you have subconsciously hidden from your awareness.  There may be qualities about you that you do not wish to acknowledge and have kept under wraps for many years, in some cases all your life.  This may involve issues from the past that have been hidden from your consciousness because of fear or discomfort with dealing with them.  Some past experiences can be very challenging to deal with, but in keeping these under wraps and not dealing with them can cause problems that seem more and more insurmountable as time passes.  They can affect you on a very personal level.  Pluto may now bring these issued to the surface so that you will have to deal with them in appropriate way and on a beneficial level.

It is a time for getting to know yourself and to become more in touch with how life events have affected you up to this point in time.  Pluto moves very slowly. If you are presented with this aspect (you will never have this conjunction again), deal with these life issues to rid yourself of their shadows.  This can have profound effects on your overall development.  You may have thought that there were some aspects of yourself which you may have considered or as termed as malicious or action taken earlier that are unforgiveable.  Now you will bring these issues to the surface and see them for what they truly are.  You may find that these past characteristics or events are not as corrupt and unforgiveable as you were imagining.  Dealing with them head on and in an appropriately manner offers the opportunity to put events in their proper place and to change our opinions so that they accurately reflect events without shame and put them in their proper perspective.

Pluto often works in subconscious ways and you may find that your actions or thoughts are rather obsessive or even uncontrollable.  If things seem to get out of hand, which in some cases they can but rarely, now would be the time to seek professional assistance.  Sometimes these thoughts and ideas can fester on subconscious levels and if we do not deal with things appropriately they may expand in their energies.  It is always suggested that you deal with life challenges when they first happen to rectify the situation before it has the energies to grow into something bigger than it has to be.  When you leave things unattended they have a tendency to grow in intensity and if left long enough to fester, can become monsters.  It should be understood that it is only ego that sees things in this way and you can detach from these points of view or opinions and deal with the matters at hand.

Many relationships go through huge changes during this period which can last as long as five years.  Pluto moves very slowly through the heavens--about one degree per year.  The relationships that have stood the test of time and are in fairly healthy condition will not suffer irreversible damage. 

A transformation is at hand and identifying any serious issues that have been swept under the carpet should now be brought out into the open so that healing can begin.  Pluto packs a punch and you may experience upheavals during it cycle.  Disagreements and ego disruption are quite common.

Much can be learned during this aspect and you now have the opportunity to bring things to the surface and change anything that needs changing once and for all.  The results of Pluto’s actions are quite final.

FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE - SEPTEMBER 16, 2016

There will be a lunar eclipse today, September 16, 2016.  The full moon will be in the sign of Pisces at 24 degrees.  This is a powerful Full Moon.  As with every full moon, this will be a time that you can reap the fruit of the seeds you sowed during the New Moon cycle six months previous.  This is a time when you should eliminate and release anything that was started earlier that no longer has a place in your life.  It is a time to cut your losses and let go of anything that no longer works for you. It is also a time when you can move forward in any direction that was formulated six months ago, but also that seems appropriate now. 

Because this is a Lunar eclipse, you should have a look at the house that this eclipse falls in your chart as well as any planet it touches.  These areas of life, determined by the house position, are subject to change.  If for example six months ago you started a new relationship, it is quite likely that your view of this individual was somewhat unclear at that time.  Now you may have to re-evaluate the circumstances of this relationship and focus on your current view of the situation.  Does this person have what you are looking for in a close and personal relationship?  Do you now recognize them for who they are and even though you now see the tiny flaws are you willing to accept what stands in front of you?  This will be even more amplified if Neptune is involved in the equation.

Remember the length of time this eclipse lasts in hours translated to the number of months this eclipse’s energies will affect you.  In order for this eclipse to have significance in your life, however, you will have to have a planet or one of the angles near the 24 degree and this will be particularly significant if you have a planet which is in conjunction to this degree (24 degrees Pisces).  The conjunction, square and opposition will be the most powerful of angles to this lunar eclipse, and the trine and sextile offer opportunities which should be taken advantage of.

At the same time this eclipse is in effect, Neptune is in opposition to the North Node and Saturn is square the North Node.  This could tie in to your life’s direction, potentially providing some resistance or obstacles to overcome during this period.  Your life’s direction may not be overly clear currently or you may feel as though you are being tested during this time.  This could be a turning point in your life. 

Mercury is also in trine to Pluto during this time and you should be able to figure out what direction would be best to take, regardless of any struggles at hand.  Pluto insists that you get to the bottom of the matter at hand and resolve the conflict or move forward with information at your disposal.  Remember this will be a time of changing circumstances that can last as much as approximately 4 months, so recognize that you are in this for the long haul. 

Please note that this Lunar eclipse will last 3 hours and 59 minutes and will be visible in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, West in South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, Antarctica according to “timeanddate.com”.  For those that cannot see the eclipse, you are still influences by its energies.

Although many people fear eclipses, it should be understood that the final outcome always provide what is deemed necessary for the evolution taking place in your life.  Pisces’ energies are about spirituality and mysticism and these avenues could come to the forefront during this time.  You would do well to listen to the subtle influences being offered as time passes.

If the eclipse falls on one of your angles (MC, Ascendant, IC or DC) these areas of life will be in prime focus during the upcoming time.  The Ascendant suggests personal matters.  The MC represents changes taking place in the occupation.  The DC often speaks of changes within personal relationships or business partnerships and the IC suggests changing conditions with the home and family.

How will you utilize these energies?
