REACHING OUT TO HELP

If someone were stand in front of you holding out their hand for assistance, what would your response be?  How would you react?  What could you do to help?  If the person facing you were of a vindictive nature, would you answer be different than if it were a gentle individual?  Would your help for the first personality type ever be enough?

Does not everyone deserve help if they reach out for assistance?  Have we walked a mile in their shoes to understand why they react the way they do in life?  If we turn our backs, is our reaction not compounding their infamous character traits?  Do you have something significance to offer them that might not only change the current issues but help them to refocus their general attitude towards life?

If we decide to help, we never have to go overboard in presenting our advice or opinion.  We can simply state our opinion in a gentle manner.  Dealing with frustration or anger with force never has a good outcome.  Honesty has great value, and love and compassion are invaluable. 

You can only say or do what feels appropriate.  Sometimes it may feel as though you have not found the right method but it is always up to those asking for assistance as to what course of action they themselves will take. 

These individuals have been sent to you for a reason and you can only do your best.  Perhaps the lesson is as much for you and is it would be for them.  Could the lesson be “we cannot help everyone”, or “we can only help those who truly want our help contrary to their asking” or could it be “just a little attention and affection solves much”? 

No matter what the lesson may end up being, never jeopardize you own wellbeing but your own personal lessons of compassion and love can be greatly developed by reaching out to those that no one else wants to.  It is always a personal choice.

NEW MOON IN TAURUS APRIL 26, 2017

On April 26, 2017, we will enjoy the energies of a New Moon in the sign of Taurus at 6 degrees.  Those with angles or planets particularly in conjunction to this degree will certainly feel the influence.  The actual aspect in your chart will define how the energies will be unleashed for you.  The conjunction, square and opposition usually suggest some turmoil or struggle, while the sextile and trine suggest opportunities and easy flow.

The energies of the new Moon are linked to planning (planting seeds) and moving forward to initiate action and to set things in motion.  The Full Moon on the other hand is the culmination of action taken during the New Moon phase (the harvest so to speak).

On an internal level, Taurus’ energies are taking a steadfast approach to life’s challenging conditions and by doing so, you can create on solid footings, and will be able to stand the test of time.  This could be accomplished through acts of communication, inner reflection and social contact with those that are able to understand the complexities that stem from within.

On a physical level, Taurus seeks and strives to secure their future through financial acquisition, saving their hard earned money and laying the foundation that will withstand the future.  If by chance you find yourself in a position of potential advancement during this New Moon phase, now may be the time to step forward and let those in authority know that you want to move ahead and help build a solid future for the company you work for.  Some will get promotions and others will get recognition for their efforts.  The overall outcome, however, may depend on the aspects in effect within your personal chart.  If the aspects in force are challenging, you will have to work hard to accomplish advancements and you may run into some snags along the way, but you should still proceed and push forward.

Taurus is also a sensitive sign linked to the sensual aspects of life.  It is ruled by the planet Venus.  If you find that you are in love, this might be the time to make that proposal, or set in motion what needs to take place to secure the relationship.  If you are already married and the relationship has been under stress, this might be a good time to work towards a conclusion that benefits both parties. 

The steps you take now will bloom over time and often when the Full Moon is in the same sign (Taurus) that could be the time that you finalize any actions taken during the New Moon phase.  Take advantage of the energies at hand and use them to your advantage.  Take the steps now to build something solid.  You will reap the benefits in time.

NEVER GIVE UP

Periodically throughout our life’s journey there will be times when it seems like everything is coming at us.  It seems that no matter which way we turn challenging conditions come out of nowhere. 

These are tests of our beliefs, our resolve and our commitment.  If these cannot be challenged, how can they be forth having?  If we can find solace in these, they are real and worthy of our commitment.

There may be times when events and emotions feel too difficult, and we may want to let go or run from these complications.  We understand the process and even though we believe that good things are just around the next corner, we may feel as though we do not have enough determination to make it though.  Part of us tells us to push our way through and another part says to give in or let go. 

Letting go is not giving in.  It takes faith to let go and allow.  If we have done all we can do and there seems to be no reprieve, then letting go and letting God/Source/Higher Energy (call this whatever is comfortable for us) is always an option.  There are some individuals who completely live their lives this way recognizing that life happens the way it does for a reason and we are not at the mercy of life, although it appears this way.  We have to let go to connect with our higher relationships which includes the one within.

This is not a weakness.  The leap of faith takes strength.  Reaching out and recognizing our connection with source is a valuable lesson.

 

Life surely does take us down many different roads; some are very difficult to navigate.  At times we run up against what appears to be dead ends or unscalable walls.  When the wall is too high to climb, we can find ways to tear it down or be lifted over.  We should not be afraid or ashamed to ask for help but if we do, we must be open to the answers that come our way.  The answers may not always be what we may be expecting or want to hear.

THE PLUTO IN VIRGO GENERATION

If you were born between mid-1957 to mid-1972, you are the Pluto in Virgo generation, give or take a few months either side of this time frame, as Pluto went retrograde during this period (appearing to move backwards in the heavens). 

This generation may be somewhat obsessive about their health and cleanliness.  They are intensely interested in keeping their body in top shape if they are able, through rigorous exercise routines and proper diet.  This may vary, however, depending on what house Pluto is in within their natal chart and the aspects applied to Pluto.

Virgo can become obsessively involved in many things, as they have great analytical perception and the ability to uncover life’s minute details.   

In general, most Pluto in Virgo individuals find their working life rather important to them and they push themselves trying to find perfection and uncovering all the minute flaws within the working environment.  Some prefer to remain in the background rather than being up front and getting all of the attention.  Behind the scenes analytical and research work will suit most individuals born with this combination.  They would make excellent detectives and specialists in fields such as psychology, parapsychology and virtually any field that requires deep concentration and deep focus.  They are usually absorbed in their work and comfortable in knowing that they are doing their best.  Doing their best is a compulsive need and this is why they are highly sought after in the working environment.

These individuals are inwardly intense, analysing themselves, identifying flaws and could become overly critical of themselves and others to the point of obsession, yet have difficulty accepting criticism.  When angered they usually become quite heated yet they can keep most of what they feel inside.  They need to find a way to release this pent up anger and stop worrying over issues.  This can lead to health related issues as life progresses, especially nervous conditions.  Rigorous exercise such as running, the martial arts, and anything that pushes the body and releases the mind from the day’s activities will assist in letting go of these feelings.  Gentle exercise routines such as Yoga, Tie-Chee can also do wonders for these individuals.  Without such physical release, restrictions and dis-ease in the body can occur.

These people are inwardly intense and need deep study as there is a yearning for understanding any subject in great detail, especially themselves.  A profession in research, institutional occupations or working in government positions would be of interest to these individuals.  They make good counsellors, pharmaceutical engineers, and mechanics, anything related to detailed work.

There may also be an interest in all hidden matters, such as the occult and the fields of metaphysics.  Any mystery holds their interest and they are great at solving deep internalized issues in others.  Most at some point in their lives will redirect their energy outward after transforming their lives, through self-actualization techniques, but not until they have completed a compulsory self-study and understand entirely what makes them tick.  Once they make this transformation to a higher sense of being, there is great healing power in many of these individuals.  They can use this gift to assist others and help them overcome many of their life’s deficiencies.

NO RETROGRADES IN THE ASTROLOGICAL BIRTH CHART

The energies of a planets in retrograde in an Astrology chart tend to make us look inward.  Those with several retrogrades in their chart (and the magic number seems to be 5) tend to be introverted, even subdued and much to themselves.  The energies have difficulties working their way to the surface and are stifled.  It takes great effort to bring the energies to the surface and make the necessary adjustments to challenge these, so-called deficiencies.  Personally this astrologer does not believe in deficiencies.  I tend to look at it as harnessed energy waiting for the opportune moment to be released.

Those people without retrogrades in their birth charts are of the minority.  It is said that roughly seven percent of people have this phenomena.  It is believed that the energies of all the planets are released and given free reign and allowed to flow freely.  This in turn can create an individual who may lack patience and they often avoid using a cautious approach.  The waiting game is not part of their nature makeup and they much prefer to move things along.

There is usually great energy behind these individuals and they work tirelessly towards the achievements of their objectives in life.  They have strong willpower and are persistent in their efforts to succeed.  They move forward similar to Aries often advancing with little afterthought if any and they rarely disbelieve in their own abilities. As a result, they are normally quite successful.  Some individuals without retrograde planets in their chart do fall from time to time; however, this will not stop them from getting back up and moving ahead again.  Their determination is steadfast and they rely on no one for approval or even assistance.   They believe in their own abilities and also stand behind their failures for they are valuable lessons.  These lessons are not cause for alarm.  “Let’s just start again and see what happens” could be their motto.   “If it does not work this time, perhaps it will the next time”, or “I will just need to make some minor adjustments” would be statements you would hear from these individuals.

They are self-reliant and self-determined.  These traits can make them great entrepreneurs.  They are willing to take the plunge and often without much reserve. 

Most of these individuals would prefer to work alone.  This, however, can make them somewhat aloof and even distant as they unconsciously withdraw into themselves.  They may even feel misinterpreted and misjudged by others, because of this loner type mentality.  But this is only in extreme cases and it is wise to take into consideration the whole chart before drawing up any conclusions.  There are many things in the chart that can offset some of these characteristics, but moving forward and going it alone is quite common for someone without retrograde planets in their chart.

SUN IN TAURUS APRIL 20 2017

April 20, 2017, the Sun moved into the sign of Taurus.  Taurus is a fixed, earth sign and it tends to identify with material objectives.  This does not necessarily suggest that they are motivated towards material abundance, although a nice home and furniture and a comfortable car do appeal to them.  Taurus individuals seek comfort and security and if they satisfy these needs, they feel sheltered and safe in their environment.  They do, however, strive to find a place within where they are comfortable both emotionally and financially (so that they can be equipped for comfort well into old age).

The fixed quality that so exudes Taurus suggests that they have permanent ideas about life and that they are not easily swayed in new directions.  This does not suggest that they will not bend and listen to others, only that once they believe in something, it will take a lot to sway them from their commitment. 

Taurus individuals are steadfast and reliable individuals.  Their word is good and they are dependable and normally quite trustworthy.  They work hard to achieve their aims and will not tire in the face of adversity or obstacles.  They believe in the slow and steady route and appreciate the experience of reaching their goals in life.

In general, those with strong Taurus emphasis in their natal charts are sensual individuals and take pleasure in the finer things in life, including a beautiful women or a strong and handsome man.  Their sensuous nature is well defined and mature.  Most make wonderful lovers and amiable and social individuals.  They would love an evening of fine wine, delicious food and heart warming company for a relaxing evening in comfortable, refined surroundings.

Although they are sensuous individuals, they are not sexually submissive or overindulgent.  They are true to their nature and would not cheat or be unfaithful once committed and make good reliable mates that can last a life time if under the right conditions.  When they love, they love with all their heart.  They will also do their best to support you or at the very least do whatever is in their power to ensure security.

Their temperament is usually stable.  Push beyond their limits, however, and a Taurus individual can become quite abrupt.  It is common for these individuals not to forget or forgive a slight.  If you make a friend with a true Taurus, you have a friend for life as long as you don’t cross them as this might end the relationship.  Don’t cross the bull; you are liable to get run over or gorged by their horns. 

Taurus are ruled by the planet Venus, which makes them social, likeable, friendly, passionate and gentle people.  They can thrive in many of life’s circumstances although they do not like vile and abrupt individuals that disrupt their calm state of being.  They seek beautiful and serene surrounding and want life to be as gentle to them as they are to life.
