MAKE PEACE

You cannot find peace in your surroundings or from any interaction you may have with others.  The only way to find peace is to create peace and the only way to feel peace is to focus on your attitude towards peace.  You create peace by being peace, by living within the guidelines of what you define peace to be and then allowing those energies to seep into your outer world.

What are your expectations?  Do you expect to experience peace?

How do you find peace when your expectations are not in touch with what peace represents for you?  You know that you mold your reality over time by your belief structure.  If this is true, how can you possibly find peace when your expectations and focus are elsewhere?

You argue that your expectations are based on what you have experienced in life. 

How can you expect change if you base your expectations on what life has brought before this time?  How can you possibly expect anything different when this is where you choose to place your focus?

Make a conscious choice to start filtering out negative possibilities and focus.  You can switch this focus at any time, but you have to recognize that your thought patterns are your own, that they come from you and that you are the one with the control of where they are.  Call it ego interference, but as long as you identify with these thoughts, you make them your own. 

Pay attention and refocus your intentions.  It will take a little practice but realistically you can do it this moment and, if you believe, the change can happen right now, in this moment.  You do not have to wait until tomorrow to make that conscious change.  You can do it now.  When you notice that your focus is sneaking back into old habits, gently change its direction again to a positive one.

What are you waiting for?  The time is now.  Make a conscious choice to rule your own life and focus on what makes you happy.  Life is supposed to be filled with joy and optimism and this goes for everyone.  It is time.  Just do it!

SUN IN ARIES 2017, PART I, Sun in Aries Characteristics

The Sun will move into the sign of Aries on March 21 in 2017.  Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac and also rules the first house.  Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and  Mars is considered a war like planet in that it is not afraid to move forward with its objectives and is fearless once in action.  Mars is often the driving force behind personal achievement and ambition, along with Saturn although Saturn is more affiliated with ambitions linked to the profession.

Aries is a fire sign, associated with action and boldness.  Many Aries people have the ability to push through any blocks and will push ahead with their intentions regardless of intrusion or even the potential for defeat.  If they do fail, they are quite willing to cut their losses and rise up to another pursuit with as much vigor as their previous efforts.  Failure too many Arieans is just another opportunity to learn and begin again with new found potentials and goals.

These individuals can be rather impulsive and are usually the first to move forward in their objectives and also the first ones to finish what they set out to do.  There is little wasted time and there is no time like present to advance in whatever areas they deem appropriate.  They are very direct in their approach and will seldom pretend that they are doing something or making plans without actually following up on their plans.  Their goal is to achieve and get things moving.  They would really like it if they got the same response from others. 

Aries individuals feel comfortable in pursuing their objectives because they believe in themselves.  If by chance they fail in their goals, it will be because they did not plan well enough or moved forward without the proper resources.  They like a challenge and are willing to set things in motion even when others tell them that they are not ready.  Very little actually stands in their way except themselves.

Arieans often have a “me first” attitude and even when they are working towards the good of someone else, they seek control of the situation.  They are generally kind and compassionate people with the good of others at heart, but sometimes can be a little too blunt and aggressive in their pursuit. 

Aries is all about getting things done and clearing away that which no longer serve a purpose.  This is their pursuit; this is their purpose.

Part II of our focus on Aries was posted March 22, 2017.  Here is a link for your convenience.  http://www.holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/44443276-sun-in-aries-2017-part-ii-forecast-uranus-conjunct-the-sun

What opportunities await you?

Your natal chart points out the tools you were born with and the energies available specifically for you. Do not allow any opportunity to slip through you fingers.  www.holmastrology.com

TRANSITING NEPTUNE TRINE VENUS

If you have transiting trine from Neptune to natal your Venus, celebrate as this is considered a magnificent aspect.  Venus is the planet of love and affection and Neptune’s energies deal with intrigue, spirituality and qualities almost magical in their expression.  It is quite possible that you can fall madly in love if and when you have this aspect in your chart.  You may believe that you have found the perfect mate, someone who seems caring, loving, sensitive and perhaps even mysterious.  You will be intrigued and may even be swept off your feet.  The individual that comes into your life may seem almost too good to be true and you can hardly see any flaws. 

The potential for finding and connecting with the perfect lover is certainly highlighted and although the individual seems perfect, make sure you are seeing them under a realistic light.  With this trine, however, you just might be.  This could be quite different from the conjunction, opposition or square.  What you are seeing and what you are feeling just might be real but a reality check is still in order.

You may find that the connection is very spiritual and enlightening; it could even be termed as a psychic connection.  You might discover dreamlike inspiration from just being together.  You might want to call this a match made in heaven.  To be certain that this is really the one, review the rest of your chart including all the other transits and also the natal aspect between Venus and Neptune.  This will provide you with a clearer picture of what to expect and what you should be paying attention to.

Venus also deals with friendships and socializing which includes having get-togethers and enjoying the company of others.  Your social life may increase and even become busy if Mercury or the third house is involved in the equation.  You may find that those that you associate with are kind and gentle people and anyone who comes across as gruff or aggressive will not be appealing to you during this aspect.  You will look for more refined people to associate with.

You may also find that you want to buy beautiful objects that are appealing to the scenes.  You may remodel your home especially if the Moon or your fourth house is involved.  If Uranus is somehow part of the equation watch for erratic spending or making financial decisions on a whim, especially if the aspect involving Uranus as its energies can be harsh.

You may also feel inclined towards social work or volunteer work.  Your time will be well spent if you decide to give of yourself during this time.  You will be drawn to those that are needy and the less fortunate.  Now is the perfect time to do your part for society.  Watch for being used if Saturn is involved or if Pluto is part of the configuration.  Sometimes power struggles are associated with Pluto especially if in a challenging aspect. 

Overall this aspect is very promising as long as it is not too heavily afflicted.  It promises some delightful experiences and even inspirational times.  Take advantage of this one.  It may directly influence you for as much as two years.

THE KIND & GENTLE APPROACH

The kind and gentle approach is normally the best approach. 

Life’s experiences do take us down many different roads and during stressful situations we can be prone to instant reaction, which is not always what we had planned on.  A quick review prior to reacting or a quick rethink after reacting can help us to address any situation from a different point of view.

Before we respond, do we consider the affect of our response on the person we are addressing?  Do we ask ourselves if something positive can come out of your expression and verbal interaction?  Will our reaction bring things into focus?  Will our reaction cause strife or will it stimulate a verbal confrontation? 

We can certainly experience much more control if our reaction or interaction in slow and deliberate.  Learning to control reaction is a positive step forward.  Giving ourselves time to assimilate what has happened before we speak can bring about positive results to all involved.

In most cases if we approach a situation in a temperate manner, people usually react in similar fashion.  Sometimes it does not matter how gentle we are, there will be those that come at us in an aggressive manner.  If we stand back and still approach the situation in a kind and considerate way, many will recognize your control and lower their aggressions.  For those that still carry on in rage, we can certainly walk away.  This is not an indication of weakness, as becoming aggressive in the interaction would be much easier.  It takes strength not to be drawn is and maintain your ability to maintain your control in these types of situations.

We certainly have the right to speak our minds.  But there are many ways of addressing any given situation and there is always a calm approach available if we search deep enough.  It takes a powerful person to walk away from an argument.  Calm and control usually gets us to where we want to be.

Ego and being right is normally the cause of most arguments.  If we argue our point, we have allowed ego to take control and snatch away our calm.  This practice of controlling this gets easier over time.  Our own stress levels and peace of mind are far more important than feeding a situation that can grow into something that cannot be harnessed.

Are we not worth the continual enjoyment of peace and calm?

WHAT TOOLS ARE USED TO FORECAST IN ASTROLOGY

When we forecast events through astrological, we look at the outer planets.  The movement or transit of the outer planets has a longer influence or effect on us. 

Using transiting Pluto as an example, its energy speaks in terms of transformation and often through some type of struggle.  This could refer to changes that are necessary because we are no longer advancing in life.  This may include a change in direction in our working environment when the MC is involved and this would also affect our home and family life as the IC will also be involved (they are opposites).  We may also be going through a transformation in our personal life.  It could feel as though it is a new start after some change which could have been a struggle.  Sometimes this is reflects into our relationships when the Ascendant and DC are activated.

These transformations and often life changing events become more active the closer Pluto moves to one of these angles in our Astrology chart.  We usually begin to feel the effects when transiting Pluto is about 5 degrees approaching and it intensifies as it moves into contact (0 degrees) and becomes direct.  The strongest effect will be when the aspect between the angle and Pluto becomes direct or less than one degree apart.  The closer to zero degrees apart, when we are speaking about the conjunction, the more powerful the energies.

Often when a Planet is within one degree of being direct it takes an inner planet to create an activity related to these events.  Transiting Mars and the transiting Sun often create the needed push to activate the energies already in play.  These links can be quite precise in timing the events, although it is still wise to give the energies a few weeks to unfold.  Transiting Uranus on its own is often enough energy to create an activity or event, sometimes forecastable to within a few weeks as well.  The progressed Moon is often good to use for forecasting the timing of events to unfold and timing can be adjusted to within one month.  There are times when you can predict an event within a few days if the energies are strong enough.

One planetary link is not enough to actually confirm an event.  You need at least three different aspects each telling the same story to have the potential for an activity to take place.  To see if there are aspects you can use to forecast in your own Astrology (Transit) chart, check to see if you have other transits affecting the same area of life, dictated by the house positions.  Also have a look at your birth chart and locate the planets that all fall into the same degree or very close to the same degree.  These will be sensitive areas of life and when a transiting planet moves into these degrees, you can expect an active time in your life.

In many cases these timers indicate stress or nice easy flow.  Sometimes events happen or sometimes attitudes will change.  If a mental adjustment is not enough to make the necessary changes suggested by the planets involved, then at some point later during the transition, an event may unfold to push you in the right direction.  An example may be that an individual has Pluto square the MC and Uranus conjuncting at the same time and also Saturn is in opposition to the Sun, especially if the Sun is somehow connected to the MC.  With these circumstances, something with regards to the occupation, life status, goals and aspiration will unfold over the time of the influence.

Remember regardless of how the energies are released, change and disruption are often prerequisites for growth.  Nothing in life happens without some purpose attached to it.

BE BOLD & ABOVE ALL ELSE BE TRUE TO YOURSELF

In the face of adversity what is your best defense?  Do you run and hide behind the vail of uncertainty?  Do you seek shelter from the colds winds of aggression and attack? 

It is said that fighting aggression with aggression only creates more of the same and we cannot help but agree.  If we are attacked (emotionally, mentally or physically) what then is the best approach? 

We certainly have to stand up for ourselves when need be and use our inner strength to pull ourselves away from the afflictions at hand.  Sometimes life comes at us from all directions and we are forced to find that inner strength and find new ways to look at old demands.  Through our own determination and focus, we can reach within and find the strength to not only carry on through these events, but to rise above them.

 

We can find strength that we never knew existed.  We gain personal empowerment when we allow ourselves to rise above.  There is sufficient strength within, however, do not feel any less competent if you reach out to others and higher sources for a helping hand.  With or without assistance, we emerge stronger, more resilient and ready to forge ahead with our heads held high.

We are the masters of our destiny regardless of what stands in the way.  We are much more powerful than we realize.  The only things that stand between defeat and success are our attitudes and our focus.  Through love of self, control of attitude and positive focus we rise above life conditions that once seemed impenetrable. 

Know your strength and abilities but accept a hand when it is extended to you.  Fulfill your ambitions with an open mind.  Follow your heart……it knows the path.
