ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE?

With all of the reports of uncertainty in the world, it is no wonder that people allow themselves to become unsure and stressed.  The political situations, wars, financial instabilities can weigh heavy on many minds.  We are living in a traumatic time if we allow stress and worry to take over.  Reading the headlines and listening to the fear mongering reported daily only serves to heighten anxiety.

Would we be better off focusing our attention to the more immediate, intimate and direct matters in our lives? 

Our spiritual connection can bring us much more comfort.  Relying on and focusing on positive affirmations certainly can help.  Remember that what we focus on simply bring more of the same.  Paying attention to our mind’s focus and redirecting it to more positive focuses will, over time, change our attitude and general feeling of wellbeing.  We all play a part and no one is insignificant or incapable of making the changes that are needed.

Never doubt the higher forces at work in our lives.  We are part of an ever changing existence and each individual part forms a whole for the world’s evolution. 

What will be, will be, with or without our consent.  Our attitude towards these events is what can change who we are and what the world is.  Hold true to your heart.  Stay strong and positive.  We are not at the mercy of events although sometimes these events affect us dramatically.  We always have a course of action to take with what goes on around us.  The unfolding of our reaction and action is always in our hands.

Fear only breeds more fear.  Anger only breeds more anger.  Love however can tear down any barrier.  Believe in positive outcomes and above all else have faith in the powers of positive thinking.  Let go of potential outcomes and expectations.  Live in gratitude for the calm days and the challenging lessons, for they are forming you into who you are intended to be.

ARE THERE ASTROLOGICAL SUN SIGNS THAT ARE MORE EVOLVED?

We have observed that there is a general misconception about the evolutionary state of the astrological signs.  We have received inquiries as to which one sign is more evolved than the rest?  We have also been questioned if our spiritual self/soul follows any astrological pattern with respect to the astrological sign which we will be born under in any given incarnation?

In this Astrologer’s personal opinion (and I welcome input from any other astrologers) that there is no particular sign that is highest on the evolutionary path.  This is not to say that an evolved Pisces or Sagittarius or even Aquarius might not seem more evolved during this incarnation from (lets say) an unevolved Scorpio, or ego oriented Aries.  As suggested by this statement, each sign carries with it a wide range of characteristics on what might be thought of as an evolutionary scale.  An evolved Aries could easily surpass an unevolved or evolved Pisces if the primary focus is on an evolutionary growth.  All Astrological signs have highly developed personality traits associated with them and all signs have character traits that we can term as falling quite short of evolved qualities.

I believe that we come into this life with a particular purpose and the North Node, our Sun Sign and Ascendant play a significant role in describing this particular path.  The energies associated with the other planetary positions add to this process and aid us in our evolutionary quest.  Each individual has chosen a path found within the planetary energies to provide tools available to fulfil the soul’s advancement.

 

The soul may choose to come back in what appears to be a state which completely lacks evolutionary progress.  This specific incarnation may appear to be at a somewhat primary stage in the eyes of those that interact with the individual.   This does not mean that they are unevolved in any real sense in the overall picture.  It only appears as though they are lacking higher understanding in this life.  Through human eyes, we see but a glimpse of the overall picture.

There are also those that appear evolved in their current quest and are doing their part to influence many in their evolution but these individuals on a soul level may be less evolved than the previous individual just discussed.  As human beings we do not understand this process or what our evolution truly is.  We have preconceived notions.  Who are we to judge?  To what benefit is our judgement of this anyway?

It is believed by this Astrologer that those individuals that have truly found love and live life through love and compassion are the truly evolved ones.  These individuals have something truly significant to offer.  Each and every one of us has our own individual gifts which we are meant to share with others.  What I lack, you may be able to teach me through example and what you lack, I may be able to teach you through example.  We are all evolved souls on some level. 

There are many stages of evolution within each sign and many stages of understanding or lack thereof.  It is my personal belief that evolved souls have come back at this time to help with the transition taking place in our world.  There is much work to be done and they know they can assist at this time while visiting this material world.

I surmise that on some level, we are all participating in this process.  Could we be here to help others find their true selves as we strive to evolve ourselves?  Are we here to guide others through example and through our only constant—love? 

Is there an evolved astrological sign of the zodiac?  I will leave that for you to decide!

For now it is important to recognize our own particular design and course in the incarnation.  I believe it is important to continue to move in the directions that will assist our own evolution as well as the evolving story of all living things.

TIMING OUTER TRANSITS

We have been asked to explain how the timing (of the outer transits to natal placements in the horoscope) for forecasting works. 

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto transit the heavens very slowly.  Pluto and Neptune only move 1 to 3 degrees each year.  The normal influence of transits of the outer planets to natal placements (ascendant and midheaven) and Planets is approximately 3 to 5 degrees approaching and then usually 2 degrees separating. 

The influence of these planets is often subtle as they approach.  The energies then intensify as the planets move closer to being direct with the natal placements.  When the transiting planets are within 1 degree of orb in aspect to these natal placements, their influence intensifies and becomes quite apparent.  When the transiting planets are within tight orb, (1 degree or less) look to transiting Mars, the progressed Moon and even the transiting Sun as they stir up activity in the areas of life (houses) that are being activated.  Transiting Uranus when exact often creates some action in the area of life that is being affected, even by itself (no other triggers required such as Mars, the Moon or the Sun).

These triggering factors will make an aspect to the natal planet being affected by the transiting outer planet and activate or cause something to occur.  This will tighten the timing factor significantly and is used in conjunction with the solar (return of the sun to birth position) chart for the year in question to ascertain a common denominator for what might potentially be happening in the life of the individual commissioning the chart. 

You must also take into consideration what other natal planets are connected to the natal planet being transited by these outer planets.  If there are other factors in the natal chart, say for example that transiting Pluto is conjuncting your natal Venus and Venus natally is aspected by Mars and Saturn, the transit of Pluto will also affect these aspecting planets.  The influence of Pluto will not be over until it is out of orb with Mars and Saturn as well (in the example).

When taking all of these triggers into consideration, predicting a time when action or internal adjustment might take place will be quite accurate.  If you use this method, it narrows down the time frame even though the affects of the outer planetary influence is in effect for the whole period of time.  Using these secondary influences, we will have a much better idea of when events should take place.

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.
