RESOLUTIONS

Many of us make New Year’s resolutions and due to our beliefs, the energies do seem renewed.  In reality, however, there is no change in space or time, just in our focus.  Resolutions are great as long as they are not too elevated and unreachable. We can, however, make resolutions for ourselves at any time.  Each moment is a new beginning.  We never have to wait for a new year.

Make a commitment to yourself to you love who you are regardless of characteristics you do not approve of.  It is very important to love unconditionally.  Recognize that anything that you don’t like can either be altered or your perception about this specific attribute can be altered.  Identifying with or believing in something that brings you anything less than joy, serves no purpose.

Don’t get down on yourself because of something that you have failed to do or something that makes you feel as though you are coming up short.  Just do your best.  How can we ask for more?  You are currently bound to material living at this particular moment even thought what you do, say or own is not a reflection of who you are on a higher level.  It is only part of the experience that is taking place right now.  It takes time to reconnect with the true self even thought this true self is always within you.

Understand ego and its actions (and when I speak in terms of ego I am referring to the voice that shuts you down, the voice that seems to work against you).  If you want, you can call ego “negativity” or that unwanted parts of what you think of as you.  Ego’s intent is to keep you stifled and to limit you in any way it can in order to maintain control.  By identifying with anything that is not pleasing to you, you give ego strength and build on ego’s need to control.

Stay on the positive path or attitude in life and accept that your thoughts create your reality.  Know that it takes time to find ways that work specifically for you and to learn the art of being patient.  Know that you are where you are meant to be for now and be grateful for your progress.  Believe in yourself and give yourself the benefit of the doubt, always. 

We all will falter from our ideal concepts of who we think we should be from time to time, but if we look back, we will see how much we have actually advanced.  To help us acknowledge just how far we grow, it might be an idea to keep notes of what you experience and write down your good qualities.  Also keep tabs on the positive qualities within yourself that you want to enhance.  Read these notes back to yourself occasionally.  You will find that over time they no longer are part of what you wish you could be, they become who you actually are.  Strive to make the qualities real by believing you have them inside within already. 

Give something of value to others when and however you can in your own personal way, but be sure to look after your own needs as well.  You can’t help others until you help yourself.  Accept that you are important and that you have a special mission in life that is perpetually unfolding. 

Love your life.  Share your life and be open.  Know that the path is set and that you are on track.  You are always moving forward in the correct direction, even when it feels like you are not.  Sometimes we need to go down different roads to appreciate who, what and where we are in life. 

Be happy with your life’s circumstances.  Know that there is so much more to come and live in the moment, sharing your wisdom. 

Happy new start in this new moment!

FULL MOON IN CANCER, JAN. 12/17

The Full Moon (known as the wolf moon) is in Cancer today, January 12, 2017.  This Full Moon is loaded with energies.  It forms part of a Grand Cardinal Square with Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter. 

The Full Moon falls at 22degrees in the sign of Cancer.  Cancer is a nurturing, feeling sign, the energies of which want to mother and look after others especially those that are considered family.  The Sun (always in opposition to a Full Moon) will be in Capricorn.  Cancer and Capricorn are the natural rulers of the 4^th and 10^th houses and often are indicative of our parents and might suggest a parental theme during this full moon.

The Cardinal Square is not considered a favourable configuration, as squares and oppositions often indicate strife and challenging conditions.  Much will depend on if you have any planets or angles around the 22 degree mark particularly if they happen to be in Cardinal signs.  This particular planet or angle would be activated and subject to intensity, change, and diversity.  Much of what takes place may be unpredictable in its nature.  Check the house locations in your own personal chart to see which areas of life will be connected and activated today.

Although the Grand Square is considered a challenging aspect, much can be accomplished during this cycle.  Often endings are followed by new beginnings.  Endings usually call for new directions in life, usually after some struggle.  You will be required to carefully plan out any actions taken on your part and you may find that what unfolds actually has been in the works for some time.  Conditions may come to fruition and can work out very well.  At other times, conditions can bring surprises and challenging conditions that must be dealt with.  Much depends on what you personal astrology chart is suggesting. The beauty of the squares and oppositions is that they often challenge us to move forward or change directions which from which we eventually reap the rewards.

This will be a time of correcting any miscalculations made or misdirection taken some time ago.  We can either let things go and starting new in a completely different direction or reflecting on what has taken place and make adjustments before moving forward again. 

Saturn is also part of this process.  It is inconjunct the Full Moon at 22 degrees Sagittarius which suggests that any business plans set in motion will now need some fine tuning, and you can move forward, especially now that Mercury is no longer in retrograde.

Allow your feelings to guide you through this cycle and follow through or start anew regardless of hurdles or disturbances.  If you have to begin again, so be it.  Start fresh with an optimistic view.   Jupiter can promise success on some level even if it is in square to the Moon.  Do not forget to check your personal chart to see any other planetary involvement as well as any angles that might play a significant role in the unfolding of this cycle. 

All the best and stay true to yourself.

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT MARS

Transiting Uranus conjunct Mars is a volatile combination, especially in the sign of Aries.  Both planets want aggressive action and both insist on making things happen rapidly and without little thought of consequence.  Mars is impatient and impulsive as is Uranus and when these energies are tied together in the sign of Aries, it is almost inevitable that something will happen.

These two planets will be tied together in transit towards the end of February and into early March, 2017.  Uranus’ action is all about needed change and breaking free of restrictions.  Although the potential for unexpected events to unfold is likely, these changes are usually because of required action not acted on in the past.  Uranus usually gives a push in the direction of change and pushes us to make changes with things that have been raised into our awareness.

Look to the Astrological house that will be affected by these two planets especially when in conjunction with one another.  This will be the area of life that will call for change and the start of something new.  Often a new direction unfolds although it might require a push on your part or a push by life’s to make it happen.  Remember, if you have the opportunity to make things happen and you do not, often the energies are released in a much more aggressive manner and you are made to make the changes, like it or not.  Also make sure you have a look at where natal Uranus is located in the birth chart as this area of life will also play into the formula.

If, for example, these planets converge in the tenth house, your career will be affected and your status in life might change.  If you have been putting off moving forward in this area, you might be advised to take that step needed but once again much will depend on other planetary influences related to this area of your chart.  If you have a trine from Saturn natally to this position, it would work out well for you as long as you had taken the necessary steps along the way to make sure that nothing was missed and you are well prepared.  If Neptune were involved, you might feel very uncomfortable about the outcome of these actions yet unsure of your direction.  Always look at the natal potential and how the transit is being affected by other mitigating factors.

The energies now activated are very potent and volatile and can be released in rather explosive fashions.  Do not put yourself in danger’s way unnecessarily and remain calm during this aspect as arguments and disruptions are quite common.  You will more than likely feel that you should assert yourself at this time and in some cases it is good to do just that, while in other cases, you would do well to take a back seat, although that could be quite hard to do.  Taking a leading role in some way, you will be pretty much assured of results, and even the more passive individuals will push themselves under these conditions.

You may also be somewhat accident prone during this cycle, so take care in driving your car or operating heavy machinery and working with sharp tools.  There is a more than average danger although there has to be other factors in the chart indicating something similar for this to unfold.  Do not be too worried or get carried away.  It is suggested that driving erratically or putting yourself in potentially dangerous situations is inadvisable.  Just be cautious.

These energies, if properly utilized, can produce some fantastic results especially if you are accustomed to working with such energies.  Pushing yourself forward in positive directions with much vigor can work out quite well in the long haul and even produce some valuable results rather quickly.

SHARING THE MOMENT

We have much to give, much to share and much to receive. 

Should we not live our lives from the perspective that giving and receiving work hand in hand, tethering energies that uplift us and pull us together.  We are here for a relatively short time in comparison to the eternal existence of consciousness and energy.  Our best approach is to live in the moment sharing what it contains and recognizing the oneness that we all share.

We are here to live our life and be grateful for all that it delivers to us.  Life is a learning process lived within manmade time.  Enjoy your space in time and share your adventures.  This moment is an experience worth living and an occasion worth sharing.

MERCURY IN CAPRICORN IN 2017

Mercury turned direct on January 8 or 9, 2017 (depending on where you live) in the final degrees of Sagittarius.  It will move into Capricorn on the 13^th of January, 2017, in Canada and will remain in Capricorn until February 8 when it moves into Aquarius.

For those with their Sun in Capricorn, Mercury will make a conjunction to the Sun during these dates.  Mercury is a very neutral planet taking on the energies of whatever it touches by planetary placement, house placement as well as any planetary angles that it receives.

Since Mercury rules the mind and the thinking process as well as communicative techniques, when it is in direct motion and in the sign of Capricorn it might be a good time for serious thoughts about your future.  Take into consideration any goals that you might have to achieve or your aspirations and move forward with them.  Make sure you are not taking any shortcuts and also be sure that they are realistic and reachable, although the higher you aim, the greater the rewards.  Your goals must be feasible and genuine in their nature.  Are you willing to do the work it takes to make them happen?

Your overall thinking process is more aligned during this period and practical matters can be dealt with in a very precise manner.  Make sure to check the natal potential while deciphering what is actually attainable.  If Mercury is poorly aspected in the birth chart, it is important to take into consideration that the goals or objects that you are trying to pursue are attainable, even though they may be challenged at times.  This is particularly true if Neptune is in poor aspect to Mercury as Neptune tends to colour things and often causes circumstances to be unclear. 

Capricorn can be a bit ridged in its behaviour and you will have to watch for becoming overly concerned with your achievements.  You will become more logical in your thinking and able to concentrate on the matters at hand, especially if they are business related.  Negativity can enter the process if you fall short of reaching these objectives and pessimism can set in.  Watch for this!  Stay open to solving any obstacles that may stand in your way, as you have the capabilities to overcome interference by using your reasoning and communicative abilities.  The mind is more focused and serious, and what you say and do will have more of an impact than under normal conditions.

You will have an ability to deal with what is considered relevant to the matters at hand and will be able to focus your attention better.  Your mind is sharp and anything related to business and enterprise has a greater than average ability to work well during this time.  Changes to the way you represent yourself through communication techniques can change if you think this necessary.  Your communication techniques are sharpened and more precise, and you can deal with anything that requires your attention.

When Mercury goes direct it will be a much better time to sign any contracts than during the prior period when Mercury was in its retrograde cycle.  You probably will not need to re-do what you are doing or re-think your actions now that Mercury is direct and life generally run more smooth.  The retrograde cycle is often accompanied with plans having to change and things not working out the way you thought that they might.  Your would have to have been flexible while Mercury was in retrograde.

CAPRICORN SUN CONJUNCT PLUTO 2017

In the upcoming year Pluto will be moving between 16-19 degrees of Capricorn.  Those with the Sun even as far back as 9 to 10 degrees Capricorn and as far forward as 26 to 27 degrees Capricorn will be affected by this transit of Pluto by conjunction. 

Pluto is a very powerful planet which often brings with it transformation, regeneration and sweeping changes.  Pluto’s action is not overly passive but often you will get a semi-gentle reminder that things need to go through alterations, and at times, even total renewal.  If life’s course needs to go through a transformation and you find that there is little hope of saving the situation, it might be advisable to let go and start anew willingly.  Pluto will often bring an end to redundant conditions in forceful ways.

The Sun often deals with your aims and objectives, your goals in life and you may have been working towards an end or objective for some time now.  This conjunction may signal that the culmination point is finally at hand.  Pluto does, however, insist that no leaf is left unturned and that moving forward now will also mean that what once was, will no longer be.  As mentioned, this could include your goals in life.  If by chance you have not been moving in the right direction for necessary changes or you have fallen short in reaching your objectives, this will be the time when you cut your losses and either make major changes or put an end once and for all to reaching these set goals.

The Sun is also a defining point when it comes to who you are, and Pluto will also insist that you have a good long, honest look at who you are and how you are representing yourself in life.  You may have to go deep to uncover any pushed aside character traits that you have not been willing to accept.  Now is the time to deal with them.  You may not like what you find but you will have to make some alterations and accept what you see in order to make the necessary changes that the soul energy now insists on bringing to the surface.  This can be challenging but worthwhile.

Sometimes the Sun will represent the father or an authority figure in your life or even the husband.  These apparent changes that now need to take place may involve one of these people in your life.  In rare cases (and there would have to be other mitigating factors in the chart suggesting the same) this could indicate an ending of sorts to these people; however, this is rare.  Please do not spend too much time mulling over this particular bit of information.  Pluto does speak of an end of conditions and the start of something that is new but necessary.  An ending does not necessarily mean physical death.

At any rate there are often great changes in store and it is suggested that you work persistently and carefully to move forward in your life.  It is rare that obstacles can actually deny us our goals or halt our current course in life.  You likely will find that you can persevere even in the face of adversity and overcome.  You are capable of achieving things that you never thought you would be able to.  It may be necessary to eliminate anything that no longer is necessary but you will have to go through these changes in order to find that which is now accessible to you to make these positive changes.  You will have great power and persistence to achieve almost anything during this phase, (like never before). 

Now is the time to move forward in your objectives and work hard to achieve what you set out to do no matter what stands in front of you.
