TRANSITING SATURN CONJUNCT THE SUN IN SAGITTARIUS 2017

For a large portion of 2017, transiting Saturn will be in Sagittarius from 21 to 29 degrees.  In late December, it moves into the sign of Capricorn.  This post will affect those with their Sun in Sagittarius between 17 degrees to the end of the sign and into the early degrees of Capricorn.  Remember to take into consideration the house that your Sun is in as well as the overall condition of your Sun by planetary aspects as you read this post.  The position of your natal Saturn will also be part of the energies.

Saturn generally has its greatest effect when it is two degrees past direct. For example, if your Sun is at 23 degrees Sagittarius, Saturn will have its greatest impact at 25 degrees Sagittarius.  Saturn tends to delay action and often slows down progress.  This could explain why it is strongest at two degrees past direct, unlike any other planet.  Saturn takes its time as it wants to make sure that everything has been competed as perfectly as possible.

Sagittarius addresses higher learning and often deals directly with religion, spirituality, and an advanced philosophy of life that looks at everything from a positive perspective.  Sagittarius truly believes that there is always something better waiting just around the next corner.  Saturn on the other hand can be quite restrictive and challenges you to work hard, even alone and that although hard work can be tedious at times, the efforts are often tied to the end result.  Saturn tests your ambitions and can also affect your health when directly related to the Sun, although a thorough examination of your chart would be required for a clear, accurate evaluation.  If you do feel tired or run down during this period, this is normal, but if you have any major concerns, you should have a physical checkup at least once during Saturn’s stay in Sagittarius.  Checking the natal potential for this however is highly advised.

Saturn can bring to fruition efforts which might have been started some 14 years ago when it was in opposition to the Sun.  Whatever was initiated at that time may now be brought forward and the results of those actions may now be seen.  Often an opposition suggests that others were involved in the outcome and the results can be either very fulfilling or you may be frustrated about the outcome of these actions.  This current period initiates a time of responsibility and difficulties, and although you may feel burdened and over-worked during this time, the more you put into your efforts, the greater the potential outcome.  Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, does bring with it some luck and opportunities, but consistency and hard work is usually an important part of the process.

This period could involve your occupation and any goals you have set for yourself.  As mentioned previously, Saturn can also affect your health, and you should be careful to neither overdo things nor put too much responsibility on yourself.  Sometimes these extra responsibilities that often manifest during this period will stem directly from your superiors.  Do not to take on any more than you are capable of handling and know your limits.  If you have been working on a project and it is near its completion or will find its conclusion at some point during this year, it is advised that you keep working towards the end result and do not start any new projects until this one is completed.

This is often a time when you learn about perseverance and hard work, and patience is often an area that needs some work.  Remember the harder you work at something, the greater the chances for a successful conclusion.  If something does not work out the way you had planned, you can stay on the same path in some way and make whatever alterations are required to make things work.  If you find that the potential is not good for a positive outcome, you can cut your losses and recognize that things are sometimes not meant to be.

You may feel somewhat limited and your normal optimistic approached to life may be thwarted during this time.  You are learning perseverance and the potential for rewards is also in the works.  Do not allow negativity to enter the picture even though a part of you wants to break free of the current restrictions.  Stay true to yourself.  The lessons best learned sometimes teach us that many things in life are not as we anticipate because we cannot see the whole picture.  Once we see the whole picture, we may need to change our focus.

AGENT OF PEACE

In a world where some are torn by adversity, some are lost in misjudgement and some are influenced by those that want to bring forth only fear, what can we do to maintain our own personal peace?  How can we as humane individuals counteract these acts? 

You may ask yourself what is my part in this ongoing, traumatic invasion of peace?

Amongst the turmoil, you can still rise above and allow love.  You can still be the agent of peace.   In your little corner of the world, start the ripple of good.  It will prevail.  You are the factor that can balance the scales but you can only do this in ways that offer kindness to those in need without adding to the opposite influence.  To fight violence with violence only intensifies the reactions.

You are not raising your hand in defeat when you respond in a more gentle manner.  You are not giving in by standing your ground through acts of kindness and love. 

There are some amongst us whose temperament is to fight injustice through acts of aggression.  There are those amongst us that will do what they feel is right to oppose and suppress violence even if that calls for violence, but this is not your part.  You are one of the crusaders of peace, and the only way to truly bring about peace and tranquility is to be an example of it.

You know what your part in this process is!  Be that agent of peace through your own terms and become the agent of change that our bound world so needs.

UNDERSTANDING TRANSITS

Our birth chart or natal chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment of birth with the earth in the centre.  The earth is surrounded by all the planets.  This snapshot of the heavens (the birth chart) remains intact as long as you live, nothing changes.  The moment after birth, the planets (although frozen in the natal chart) begin to move again which are call the transiting planets, often indicated by the planetary symbols on the outside of the circle in the birth chart diagram.  Each planet moves at a different speed.  They can also move in different directions (direct – moving forward, stationary – appear to not move and retrograde – appearing to move backwards).

Again, the moving planets after the moment of birth are called Transiting and the deciphering of these placements and the angles they make (aspects) to the natal planets including the MC, the Ascendant, the IC and the DC tell the current and future story of your life.  There are many angles these transiting planets can make with the birth chart planets’ locations (Major and Minor aspects) and some of these aspects are considered challenging while some work in a favourable manner; much depends on what angles and planets are involved.

When a transiting planet for example makes an angle of 0 to 10 degrees separation (moving away) to a natal planet, the energies merge and become one.  0 to 10 degrees is called a conjunction which tells of an emphasis and it elevates the energies of the planets involved (or the angles it touches).  The conjunction is most strong when the two plants are 0 degrees apart.  As they begin to separate they weaken and usually within 2-3 degrees past direct the energies are basically gone.  Saturn, which is the exception, does last longer and is often at its peak 2 degrees past direct.

Another variable with the transits and what they are saying involves the house placement that the planets are found in.  For example, when a planet is moving through the seventh house then seventh house matters will be involved.  You not only look at the transiting planet’s house but also look at the house that the natal planet is located in.  You also have to look at the natal planet that the transiting planet was located in within the birth chart.  In other words if Uranus is transiting the seventh house, the seventh house is enhanced or activated.  If Uranus is aspecting the Sun in the 10^th house, the 10^th house is also highlighted.  If Uranus is natally in the fourth house then you also have to take into consideration what the fourth house signifies.   You would be looking at the 7^th house, the 10^th house and the 4^th house to get a full picture of the aspect between Uranus and the Sun.

When delineating transits, it is important that you understand the duration of the transits.  All the outer planets have a greater impact on your life because they move slowly.  Pluto can have as much as 3-4 years impact on your life.  The most powerful will always be when planets are direct; this could last as long as one to two years.  Faster moving planets have very quick influences and as a result move out of influence quickly.  There is no last impact from the inner planets.

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.
