LUCK & OUR ATTITUDE

Do you think of yourself as lucky? 

There is no question why some people never seem to win in life.  These people truly believe that they are not winners.  How can we expect to win at anything in life if this is our attitude?  Some people do not recognize their attitudes as reinforcing negativity and others do not realize that they allow their thoughts to run in this direction.  Through their attitudes and focus, they close the door to opportunities and squash the potential of positive possibilities.  It is their belief structure or focus and their expectations that hold them back.  Our lives reflect what we put out, so if our thoughts are focused on “I never win anything”, “I’m a looser”, “It will never happen to me”, our lives will reflect these thoughts. 

If you manipulate your thoughts and force yourself to focus on what you have in life instead of what is missing, you open the door to abundance.  What you believe is possible for you is what will come your way.  Opportunity is presented to those who recognize that anticipation and gratitude presents more of the same.  It simply will not materialize unless you open that door and raise your expectations and vibration to one of gratitude and plenty. 

We mold our lives through our thoughts, our expectations and our belief structure.  We can refocus our concentration anytime as long as we are aware of our thoughts.  How often have you stated, “Money doesn’t grow on trees!”, “I can’t do that!”, “What is wrong with me?”, “I’ll never amount to anything!”, “Oh, I am stupid!” and the list goes on.  If we are going to program ourselves, why would we not program ourselves positively?  Our line of thinking and belief structure slowly manifests over time whether we are aware of it or not.

Life events will happen with or without our permission but if we focus on the positive outcomes of even the most difficult lessons or events, we can grow immensely from these experiences.  It has been said that we have already chosen our lessons before we arrived here.  It is suggested then, for example, if we were to fall ill, rather than feel sorry for ourselves, we should focus on healing and becoming well again.  Visualizations of perfect health, for example, is a perfect starting point to healing. 

We set things in motion by our belief structures along the way.  We gradually mold our lives by our thoughts and expectations.  We can make this a positive experience or a less than desirable one.  Life may dictate events, whether preplanned or not, but we have a choice as to how we will handle each of these situations through our attitude.

What do you focus on?  Do you believe in yourself?  Luck is only a belief.  Take control of your destiny and create a life filled with promise and abundance of whatever is important to you.

TRANSITING NODES THROUGH THE BIRTH CHART

The transiting Nodes take 18 months to move through all of the signs of the zodiac.  Depending on the astrological house system you are using, it will take approximately 1 ½ months to move through a house or sign. 

As houses depict areas of life, the nodes moving through a house will define areas of life where we are gaining knowledge.  We get a deeper understanding of the areas of life governed by the house position of the nodes. 

Remember that there are two nodes; a North and South node and they are always in opposition (opposite) to one another so both houses will be affected by our nodes.

The Nodes are attached to our soul’s mission and we have come to experience life more fully in each area of life that the nodes are influencing.  In general we are here to serve on one level or another and although the Nodes definitely teach us valuable lessons in life, once learned and understood, we can offer up information and assistance to those that are interested to assist them in whatever way we can. 

The nodes are tied to our destiny so when we are experiencing our nodes in action, stimulated through house contact and planetary links, we have obligations to uphold.  Remember we came into this life to fulfill our life’s goals which are closely linked to the nodal positions at birth.  We have to give a little of ourselves in order to complete our soul’s requirements, as we have much to offer.  Remember your higher connection to yourself from a spiritual standpoint and the earthly measures we take in order to get one step closer to our higher purpose.  We have come to serve a purpose and to learn lessons through experience and to add to the greater whole.

We are at the helm of our experiences but often when the nodes are under hard aspect, or activated through transit, we may feel as though we are at the mercy of life’s events and life seems to have control over us.  This is when we have to use our inner guidance, our spirit guides, our astrology charts or those wise individuals that walk this journey with us to work through life’s events.  Many times the overall plan behind our experiences may escape us consciously and we have to have faith in the process and recognize that there is something much bigger than what is obvious to us in human form.

 

The North Node always pointing us towards our objectives.  When the North Node is transiting a point in our chart, it asks us to go deep into our lesson.  It asks us to think about what we might want to do or where we might want to address change or gain through experience.  The North node operates in the same fashion as Jupiter, so it offers us opportunities and provides us with good luck and generally makes us happy and more content in our life’s search.

The South Node acts in similar ways to the planet Saturn. The South Node wants us to pay attention to what can be learned through the potential rough spots that we may encounter along the way.  It offers lessons and responsibilities and makes us aware of our liabilities and makes us work on these areas of life which are in focus and the energies of the planets that are being activated through this contact.  Although we may have to sacrifice or let go of something, it also offers up chances for spiritual growth through these experiences and lessons well learned.  This knowledge will be used as our lives progress.

Remember to stay open to advice being offered from both nodes and use the energies of the North Node to facilitate growth in your life’s quest and use the energies and lessons of the South Node with caution and care but recognize the importance of what it is that is being said for your greater good.  All aspects regardless of which aspect it is has something important to give.  Leaving the door open to this understanding will allow the positive energies of all aspects to generate opportunities in our lives.

THE POLITICAL ARENA

It is seldom that we discuss topics such as politics, and this post in not intended to discuss what is transpiring in the USA currently.  We thought, however, that we might touch on how political leaders might affect us. 

We are in search of peace and tranquility in a world that can seem anything but peaceful and tranquil.  Do you believe that the leaders of all nations have an obligation to restore peace in the world at large which obviously would influence our own personal space?

In our opinion, political leaders should represent honour.  They should be honest in their expression, show integrity in their actions and truth in their conviction. 

How many leaders in the world today represent such valued traits?  What will the general public learn from their communications and their interactions with others?  What is it that makes you want to back one particular leader in your local politics?  How will they best serve the needs of their country and this world as a whole?

Unfortunately, many leaders and potential leaders seem to exhibit less than admiral qualities and intentions, yet they request your trust in their abilities.  How does anyone make decisions based on misrepresentations and platforms of not “What can I do for you?” but what someone else cannot do for you? 

In politics, power and corruption often seems to prevail over common sense and compassion.

With these less than ideal conditions, at the very least we have our intuition and intellect to guide us.  We can stand by our truths and those things that are important and a priority in our own personal lives.  Martin Luther King, Jr. said this perfectly, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Hold onto what you believe in.  Be the example you want to see in the world.  Raise your voice and speaking your truth.  Do your part no matter how small this may seem in your eyes. 

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

SUN IN SCORPIO, 2016 TO 2017, PART II

Today, we are continuing our look at the energies in affect over the next year influencing those individuals with the Sun in Scorpio.  Part I was posted on Friday, October 21, 2016.

To review Sun in Scorpio tendencies, please visit http://www.holmastrology.com/sun-in-scorpio

Neptune (the planet of illusion, mystery and psychic revelation) is in the sign of Pisces and during this period, it will be between 9 and 14 degrees.  You can allow as much as 5-7 degrees orb with all the outer planets.  As a result, if your Sun is between 2 to 21 degrees Scorpio, you will be affected by Neptune during this upcoming period.  The angle between the Sun and Neptune will be a trine and trines usually work favourably.  As a result, during this time you may find that you seem to be more open to mystical insight and your psychic abilities may be enhanced.  Allow your intuition to guide you but make sure you keep both your feet on the ground.

Pluto (the planet of transformation, change, disruption and regeneration) will be in the sign of Capricorn between 15 to 19 degrees.  The aspect between the Sun and Pluto will be a sextile and if your Sun is between 8 or 9 degrees to 25 or 26 degrees, you will have this sextile between the Sun and Pluto in your chart.  The transit of Pluto suggests that you uncover anything that needs to surface during this time and make the changes that life is suggesting.  Sextiles are opportunity aspects and life seems to flow in a positive direction. You will need to grab hold of any opportunities that come your way.  The biggest chance for change will be to unlock your hidden potential or open up more of who you actually are.  Pluto transforms all it touches.  By checking where your Sun is and where Pluto is transiting in your natal chart, you will be able to uncover areas of life that now have the opportunity for change, growth and transformation.

Next year really looks good for Scorpio individuals.  You will, however, also have to take into consideration what else your chart is indicating to you. 

In these last two Astrology posts, we have only discussed the aspects to the Sun and there are many more placements that need to be deciphered to get an overall picture of what lies ahead.  Remember to use the Sun and Mars, as well as the progressed Moon, to find out when some of these aspects that we have been discussing have the opportunity to manifest into something worthwhile.  These planets we have just mentioned are timers in Astrology and can be used to give you further information as to when things might unfold.  Uranus all by itself is also a great timer, and you can use it to time life events and change, as well as freedom energies coming into your life.

Enjoy what lies ahead regardless of what other influences are in the chart.  Make your life work for you and remember you are in charge at the very least of your attitude and the way you look and feel towards all that transpires in life.  You always have at your disposal the ability to learn from each and every experience that life sends your way.

SUN IN SCORPIO, FORECAST 2016 TO 2017, PART I

The Sun moves into the sign of Scorpio on October 23, 2016. 

To review Sun in Scorpio tendencies, please visit http://www.holmastrology.com/sun-in-scorpio

Instead of revisiting the many characteristics associated with Sun in Scorpio, we thought we would take a look at what the outer planets will be doing with the Sun in the Sign of Scorpio for the remainder of 2016 and into the next year.

For the rest of 2016 and much of 2017, Jupiter will be in the sign of Libra.  Jupiter is the planet of good luck and its energies relate to philosophy, religion and spirituality.  Jupiter will be semi-sextile to those with the Sun in Scorpio for the next year.  This suggests the possibility of being in the right place at the right time for these energies to open up for the Sun in Scorpio individual.  This aspect, the semi-sextile, is an opportunity aspect.  Sometimes things fall into your lap and other times you have to act to make these energies work in your favour.  It will be up to the Scorpio individual as to how handle these very fortunate energies.  Hopefully you open up to these vibrations and make them part of your life and use them to your advantage.

Saturn,( the planet of discipline, of challenging conditions and of important learning potential) will be in the sign of Sagittarius between 13 to 25 degrees.  If your Scorpio Sun is within these degrees, you will also have Saturn on the other side of your Sun in semi-sextile. 

The midpoint of the energies of Jupiter and Saturn can reach your Sun from December 2016 to early February of 2017.  During this time, the energies of both planets will highly influence your Sun if your Scorpio sun is around the 20 degree mark.  Jupiter can bring with it opportunities for awareness with spirituality and Saturn can bring stability into this area of life.  Ensure that you use these energies appropriately and take advantage of the opportunity during this time. 

The rest of the time during this period we are focusing on, Saturn will offer opportunities for reaching your goals in life.  You may be the agent of this or life itself may steer you in this direction.  Either way a little effort on your part will go a long way.

Uranus (the planet of freedom and drastic change) is in the sign of Aries and moves from 22-27 degrees during October 2016 through October 2017).  If your Scorpio Sun is in the 15 to 29 degree range, you will be affected by Uranus during this period.  The aspect between the Sun and Uranus is a quincunx suggesting that you may have to do some adapting and adjustments to your life during this time.  This could include your occupation if the Sun or Uranus is in the tenth house, or your relationship if either of these planets are in your seventh house, or the home environment and family if there is a connection to the fourth house. 

No matter where Uranus is located, get ready for change and some disruption in the areas of life affected by your natal Sun and the house or houses Uranus is transiting.  Change is often a bit challenging although Uranus suggests that these changes are necessary.  This adjustment period is something that will need to take place and it is best not to fight the energies at hand.  Go with the flow to make the adjustment much easier.

We will continue our look at the energies affecting those individuals with the Sun in Scorpio over the next year in our next Astrology post on Monday, October 24, 2016.

WITHSTANDING LIFE'S PRESSURES

Life often presents us with challenges that seem to steal our focus and somehow manages to stifle our growth.  We are often confronted with what feels like massive, overwhelming tests that come at us from everywhere.  We are seldom prepared for these events as they come when we least expect.  This is certainly how it can feel and our reactions are not always what we would want in hindsight. 

For some, this seems to be the reoccurring theme in life.  When we are faced with adversity and difficult conditions, we often meet these lessons with opposition.  We sometimes feel as though we are victims of life but are we?  Are we not actually victims of our reaction to life’s events? 

Life is going to happen, with or without our consent.  We can face life head on and use the events to grow and learn from and recognize these events as not part of us and not own them or make them our own or alternatively, we can meet life events with frustration, anger, create a very difficult lesson and then make these events a part of us.  We decide to own them and make them a part of our identity. 

With the latter scenario, how will this ever change something that has already happened?  What is the benefit of the attitude we have decided to have? 

We have a choice on how we deal with adversity.  It is also up to us how long we choose to hang on to the events that have taken place around us.  How much control are you willing to give to these uncontrollable events?

This is not to say that we are unaffected by what takes place even if we do not fight the event.  This does not mean that we are not emotionally affected by life’s events nor does it mean that we are cold or unemotional in any way.  What it does mean is that life happens and we have options in what ways we react.  There are always choices to be made.  We are not at the mercy of these events as many believe.  We are always at the helm of our reactions and our emotions.  We alone dictate how we will allow ourselves to be affected by each and every event in life.

Undesirable event do happen and they are not by choice but we have choices as to how we will allow ourselves to be affected and we make those choices whether those decisions are conscious or not.  If we choose to analyse our decisions and recognize our part in the process, we learn how to adjust to life’s events rather than becoming victims of them.  Being familiar with our past reactions and decision helps us to learn to control the next reaction or decision that we will have to make. 

Learning to listen to the quite inner guide as it will help us through the process and understanding our reactions and taking control can have lasting effects.  These will provide us with the momentum and courage to withstand any pressure that comes from our lessons in life.  Stop, process and then react through controlled decisions.  Stand tall in the face of adversity by recognizing the lesson, seeing it as not yours to own and moving forward with that knowledge.
