BLESSINGS

Make this day a special one by giving thanks for all that it holds.  You may go through struggles and life conditions may not be exactly what you would want them to be, but you are still here and living a life that allows you to grow, love and respond in your own way.  No matter what life throws at your (whether you want to label the events challenging or rewarding), it is more your attitude and focus on these things that set the stage then the events themselves.

We all experience blessings in our lives but at times we tend to look beyond them or take them for granted. 

Stop for a moment and look around you.  Have a really close look and see what is right in front of you.  Look at what you possessions (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually).  Review your capacity to think and process information, to rationalize.  What could you change about your life?  You are never stuck.  It may feel that way at times but that is only a concept.  You can move beyond barriers if you can move beyond the fear, if truly want to. 

Some of us have our health; some have great careers; some have children and friends that are the centre of their world; some have their fur babies who are loved dearly and their love for their pets is magnified by the love give back in return.  Most of us have food and water (which the majority of people in this world cannot take for granted) and many of us have an abundance of material wealth.  I have yet to meet one person who does not have love in some way or another.  Even those that feel that love has forsaken them know that it is only a belief structure that keeps this feeling alive.

Instead of looking at what is missing, look at what you have available to enjoy.  It is important to share your blessings in whatever way you can and there are countless ways to share life.  Take a close look my friends and recognize life for what it truly is for it is a blessing, a miracle and a gift.

SATURN TRINE URANUS 2017

Transiting Saturn will be in trine to transiting Uranus all of 2017. This post will apply to all individuals with their Sun in Capricorn between 17 and 29 degrees. The post will also apply to individuals who have other planets also within these degrees (without having their Sun in Capricorn).

To begin, we will look at how Saturn and Uranus blend with one another. The current aspect between these two outer giants is a trine. Trines, in general, suggest easy flow and opportunity; this is what we all wait for in life. It will be many years before we have this trine between these two planets again.

Although the trine is considered a favourable aspect, Saturn does not do well in any aspect, but the potential for the outcome turning out favourably is increased. There are always trials and tribulations connected to the energy of Saturn as it is the teacher but if we learn the lesson being taught, we have much to gain, in general.

The energies of these two planets do not sit well with one another. Saturn is very conservative, while Uranus is unconventional and erratic in its nature. Saturn wants things to run slowly and over time develop into something worthwhile, but hard work, diligent efforts and patience are keys to this final outcome under the influence of Saturn. Uranus wants things to happen now and is all about waking you out of your complacency. Uranus operates in erratic and unpredictable ways.

Together, these planets want to join together the old and the new and provide an end result that promises a future that can be depended on, but many mistakes may be encounter along the way because of rushing. Uranus wants to push away from old outdated structures and Saturn will collide with this because it only believes in what has been tried and tested. Saturn does not wish to break free even if restrictions are part of holding on. Saturn believes it can work with restrictions.

You may find that although you are comfortable within structures that have been built up over time, you will also be willing to make some adaptations that might make life a little more challenging although exciting as well. These potential changes may be long overdue. Now may be the time for constructive, contemplated development. This may be uplifting but be ready for a slow and steady approach.

A part of you wants these changes now while another part wants to make sure that the changes are appropriate and that you are ready for them. This might not be a bad combination if you remain persistent and have patience along the way. The patience part of this equation might be challenging.

A disciplined approach can lead to new adventures and more freedom of expression. You may feel restricted at times and feel somewhat limited in what you can do as you move forward, but the learning process can be exhilarating. It may be tedious but what eventually transpires can be new and even untried which can produce results that you never thought were possible. Your view of life becomes broader and also defined at the same time and your approach to life can be more adventurous yet still provides you with a steadfast foundation that has lasting qualities. It may take some time before everything unfolds but you have all year to put this new order in place.

NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN, DECEMBER 29, 2016

The new Moon always suggests an opportunity for new beginning and for growth and expansion.   This phase of the moon, for the most part, is related to setting goals and moving forward towards your ambitions.  This is the time to plant your seeds.  This is particularly so with the New Moon in Capricorn which is the sign related to business enterprises, advancement and goal oriented objectives.  Capricorn will provide you with the determination and endurance to achieve or at least set in motion these intentions.

At the same time as the new moon, there is also a sextile to the Moon from Mars and Neptune, both in the sign of Pisces.  Sextiles are aspects of opportunities and are related to the effort on your part to push yourself ahead in these endeavours.  With both these planets in Pisces, you should make sure that what you are trying to achieve is also related to helping others as well as aiding your own ambitions.  Pisces and Neptune are often related to selfless service and working for the underdog on some level.  So if you are working in areas related to service where those less fortunate than your are the main focus, you will undoubtedly do well.  Charity organizations as well as spiritually related organizations would benefit greatly from your involvement.  Capricorn, however, is earth oriented and organizations that incorporate some of these matters would not only help you to help others, but may offer you a chance for recognition for your efforts.

Capricorn deals with stability as well as acknowledgement obtained through a persistent effort and consistent approach to whatever project you want to become involved with.  This can include ambitious desires and you may find that you now are experiencing an increase in responsibilities and also recognition from those in positions of authority.  You may find that your hard work has paid off and now you are presented with an opportunity for advancement or a raise in pay.  Much of what has potential to fall in place often comes to fruition after a struggle.  Realize what needs to take place in order to promote your talents and then follow through as these as this can lead to great achievements.

Transiting Mercury will be in retrograde until January 8, 2017.  It will stagnate some of these energies.  In many cases, particularly if you also have Mercury retrograde in your natal chart, Astrologers will suggest that you wait until Mercury goes direct before moving ahead.  The best road to take will be one of planning and preparing for the actions that you wish to take.  On or after the 8^th of January, you can move forward although this is only a suggestion and the rest of your chart may suggest otherwise.  If you have prepared diligently, moving forward now may not be too bad of an idea.  You may not have to wait.

Transiting Mercury will be conjunct this New Moon at 7 degrees 59 minutes of Capricorn.  Use these energies to initiate what you want to take place in the coming days and remain optimistic about the results.  If the energies of Capricorn are not directed properly, the end result may be a pessimistic attitude about what you are trying to achieve.  Recognize that it takes time to build an empire even if what you are trying to accomplish is a much lesser goal.  Take the necessary time to think things out clearly and be ready to act shortly. 

Good luck in your endeavours.

TRANSITING JUPITER IN ASPECT TO NATAL SUN IN CAPRICORN

We will begin by touching on Jupiter which is currently in the sign of Libra at 19 degrees when the Sun goes into the sign of Capricorn (December 22/2016).  Jupiter will turn retrograde on February 6, 2017 and remain retrograde until June 9, 2017, when it turns direct again.  Jupiter will start this cycle at 19 degrees Libra and move as far as 23 degrees Libra before it turns retrograde.  Jupiter will then go back as far as 13 degrees Libra while in its retrograde cycle. 

For those that have their Sun sign in Capricorn and between the 13 to 23 degrees the information in this post will certainly be of interest to you.  You can give yourself a minimum of 3-4 degrees approaching and as much as 2 degrees separating for Jupiter’s energies to have a direct effect on you.  There will be a square between your Sun and transiting Jupiter during this period and although Saturn does bring with it challenging conditions and lessons to be learned, Jupiter often promotes opportunities during this phase.

You may find that Jupiter’s influence will tie into making necessary changes to how you live your life, that is if changes are required.  Saturn deals with being responsible and making the correct evaluations before moving forward.  Jupiter will ask you to look deep within to make sure that your decisions are based on truth and honour.  Do not take this time lightly and make sure your objectives are in line with the greater good.  There might be some strain associated with this time in your life, but in reality you are setting the corner stones for your future by making these decisions.  Make sure that the foundation that you are putting in place is built well and will stand the test of time.

Take the necessary time to move ahead and you may find that there will be times when you do your best work working alone or in seclusion.  Decision making should be based on what serves you best but also what serves those that you care about as well.  If there is a problem that needs rectifying, now is the time to set thing straight.  Ponder your decision for a while but move forward as you get a clearer understanding of what you should be doing. 

Saturn often deals with your profession and you may find that there is some restriction within this area.  Patience is a lesson during this period.  If, however, you have been working hard to achieve something worthwhile in business, you may find that when this period is over or even during the time while Jupiter is in effect, you may be rewarded for hard work and disciplined action.  Superiors may take note of what you have been doing. If you find that your current job appears to be a dead-end job, this may be the time to move out of this influence.  Be sure that you have the new job in place before you take that plunge.  It is possible that under the current influence that opportunities await you but much depends on the overall condition of your natal Saturn.  It is often suggested that during the retrograde cycle that you do not make changes as it is best to wait until Jupiter turns direct again.

CLINGING TO YESTERDAY

There are many who can get caught up in the past and what once was.  They spend countless hours reminiscing and they wish they could go back to that time.  They think of those times as the good old days. 

Do you realize that this particular point in time will be the good old days in twenty years from now?  Rather than looking back at what once was, why would we not take a much closer look at what is, right now.  Look closely at what is right in front of you, in this moment and pay particular attention to what feels right.  We can be so accustomed to complaining about what we do not like or have that we ignore those things that we should be grateful for.

Time waits for no one and if we spend our lives living in the past or wishing we were there, we miss out on the eternal moment and the magnificence of what is happening now.  The moment is all we have and our attention to this is paramount. 

Do not spend another moment thinking about what was for what was is gone.  Do not waste your time worrying about what might come in the future for what we worry about seldom comes to fruition.  If you hold on to yesterday, you halt what potentially lies in today.  You cannot move forward without letting go of the past.  The past can include people, memories, wishes, dreams, ways of life ...anything that you tend to cling on to.

Live for today.  Experience your life by living it.  Do not waste time on yesterday.  Believe that you are entitled to be happy but remember that happiness can only be found in the present moment.  Believe in your potential for happiness.  This potential lies within your focus on all that is and this serves you well.  If life feels difficult, what is the lesson to be learned.  Once you are able to figure out the lesson, you can then acknowledge it and let it go. 

Enjoy the moments that you have.  Share them with those that matter. 

All the best in finding your way, to bringing into focus a wonderful today.
