HEALING EMOTIONAL WOUNDS, PART I

Emotional baggage is exhausting to evaluate in order to overcome but especially to carry around unresolved. 

To overcome our baggage, our minds have to play with information and actually face whatever events have taken place.  Once we have faced these events, we have to go through a process deciphering what has taken place.  We have to be able to categorizing these event or situation so they fit nicely into our emotional boxes and if we have the energy to continue, we have to make a decision as to what will be done to recover from the event.  The mind plays with the information creating interference and more often than not, our minds make the matter much worse than they actually were.  Our minds, over time, can also build on the information and exaggerate the original experience.  

Many of us have experienced events that have been very devastating.  These events have caused emotional wounds that run very deep.  With most events in life, we have little control over the actual event but we do have control over how we process and deal with these events.  Do we accept or do we fight the process? 

It is important to separate ourselves from these events.  They are not who we are.  We do not own these events.  They do not dictate how we feel unless we allow this.  Letting go or accepting can be one of the most challenging actions we can do (especially when it comes to losing loved ones). 

We certainly need time to process and to adjust to our new lives but acceptance is important.  We will never forget but we can accept and this is essential in order to be able to move forward with living.

When we are called upon to move in new directions, no matter what the reason, the changes can be massive and the adjustment period can be challenging.  We CAN adapt however.  It is part of our nature.  The end of any one condition no matter what it is always brings with it a beginning of something new. 

A part of us, deep within, will understand that the transformation is a requirement and sometimes life changes dramatically so that we can move out of complacency or a place of stagnation to find what is necessary for our own personal spiritual growth (and we are certainly not specifically speaking of someone’s death.  Our reference is general).  Everything in life happens for a reason, although we may not always be able to figure this out.  The answers often unfold over time and the why behind things begins to make sense (but not always).

As mentioned, this could involve losing a loved one, but it could also be expressed in many other ways.  We might step out of a relationship of significance or someone may leave us when we believed that the conditions were good.  Sometimes we have to make changes to our occupation.  Sometimes we need to physically move away from those that we love and are comfortable with.  The possibilities are endless.

Change, however, is inevitable.  It can come when we least expect it.  Do we sit and live in fear?  No because that is not living.  We adapt; we overcome; we flourish. 

Part II will continue on May 30, 2017.

NEW MOON IN GEMINI 2017

We will experience the energies of the new Moon on May 25, 2017. 

The energies of a New Moon are conducive to new beginnings.  Review the characteristics of the energies of Gemini.  For your convenience, we are including a link to Sun in Gemini.  This will provide you with a basis for the Gemini energies.  www.holmastrology.com/sun-in-gemini  With these qualifies in mind, focus on something new that you would like to expand on.  Also review what Astrological house is being affected in your chart.  (www.astro.com is an excellent site to create a natal chart for free.)  By doing this, you are working with the energies that will easily flow for you specifically.  In six months from now, during the Full Moon in Gemini, you should realize your goals as this will be the harvest of whatever you plant under the current New Moon.

If, for example, you have been thinking about starting a project based on writing or teaching, this period could mark the prep time so that you can prepare and step into the process at the end of the year.  Gemini speaks of versatility, changeability and adaptability.  As a result, you can expect this subject or project to undergo some transformations along the way.  Change is inevitable or at the very least most likely.  Move forward with this in mind as it will prevent you from being let down when you make changes and adapt as you move along.  Once a set plan has been put into place, however, aim to stick with the process.  With the influence of Gemini, it is possible to go to extremes and be unhappy with anything that you are doing.  It is perhaps possible that you could feel that it is not suitable or something is missing or it is not what you wanted to do in the first place which can be excuses not to continue as you become bored.

The Moon will be at 4 degrees of Gemini, and you should not only look at the house placement (as this will be the area of life affected), but also look to see if this degree is conjunct any natal placement or in an aspect with other planets or angles in your horoscope.  The aspect will define how these energies will play out. 

The conjunction is the most powerful, while the square often suggests some tension.  The opposition always implies that other people will be part of the process, while the trine and sextile add opportunities to the overall condition of this lunar placement in your chart.  It does not really matter what aspects are involved as you can do anything with these energies although some might require more work than others.

Moon in Gemini might simply imply interaction with others and stimulation of the communicational network.  You may find that you are busier at this time and that your energies seem to be scattered.  Bring focus to all of your efforts and stay on topic.  Do not flit from one thing to another without at least applying yourself. 

Your emotional energy might also be heightened during this period, especially around the beginning of this aspect.  The emotions may also be heightened if you have your natal Moon connected somehow. 

Saturn can add some stress to things and bring some challenges or obstructions along your path, while Uranus may bring powerful insight and something new and exciting to the forefront, with new paths and exciting times.  Neptune can make things intriguing and add a little mystery to what takes place while Jupiter can expand what takes place and also bring some good luck your way.  Mars can bring energy and sometimes sexual energy while Venus and Neptune especially if both are in tight aspect and in a favourable configuration can bring the potential for love and spirituality.

These are some of the ways that this New Moon can find expression.  To understand the whole process Holm Astrology offers a wide variety of charts including reviewing the energies directly related to what is transpiring in your life today and in the future.  In a Transit and Progression Chart, we look at all the configurations taking hold in your life over then next year or so and provide you with confidential and inspirational information.  If interested, visit www.holmastrology.com for more information.

THE END RESULT

After a life of many gains and many losses and you are lying on your death bed, what do you think your last thoughts will be? 

Which of your accomplishments will still hold significance?  Will you be focused on your accomplishments?  As you draw your last breath, what will matter most?

Many individuals strive throughout their lives to attain material gains, to achieve, to be recognized, to gain acknowledgement and approval.  Will your achievements from a material point of view really matter in the end?  Does a rich individual carry forward any type of wealth from a life of material gain?  What is their legacy? 

What do you want your legacy to be? 

How do you want to be remembered?

All material goals at some point have to be left behind.  What then is the true purpose of material goals? 

If we live long enough to retire, anything that was significant and had meaning in our working world is also left behind.  What we did, the authority that we had is fleeting upon retirement.  Our accomplishments may be remembered by some but the person is soon forgotten.  We may have created change within the business that will serve those that follow up in a very beneficial way but we personally as an individual will never be known to those that come after us.  Is this important?

What are your thoughts?  What do these questions stir up in you? 

It is not our purpose here to place judgement on material wealth.  The purpose of this post is to provoke thought.  Please know that you are quite welcome to share your thoughts.

TRANSITING JUPITER CONJUNCT NATAL VENUS

Jupiter is known as the great benefactor and often bestows good luck, good fortune and expansion into everything it touches.  When connected to the planet Venus the planet of love and romance, it often brings good fortune into this area of life.  It offers a peaceful time and you may find that your lover or your friend brings out the best in you.  You feel comfortable and your mannerisms are gentle and very loving.

If you are in a new relationship, this could be when the relationship will grow to new depths and this aspect will offer not only love and excitement but also enough space so that you can make a choice as to when you want to be together and when you prefer to be by yourself.  In a new relationship which may have a lot to offer, you may find that you want to spend more time together however you probably will not feel tied down.  You find that you both give the other enough space and freedom to be yourselves, especially if Uranus is somehow connected to this conjunction.

This is a great time for social gathering and you may find that you wish to share your life with more people during this aspect.  Party going in wide open spaces may be very appealing especially when connected to nature. 

Watch for becoming too lavish as Jupiter has no boundaries.  Also watch for overspending as when this transit is finished, you may find that you went overboard.  You may also be tempted to travel to lush and beautiful surroundings at this time.  Foreign culture may be very exciting to you and you may even meet someone while abroad.

Self-indulgence on some level is likely. Be careful not to overdo things.  Many will gain weight during this time as food seems very tasty.  As you can see, you will enjoy life on many levels.  You want to be around beauty and anything gruff and abrasive does not suit you during this time.  Move away from these.  You are meant to enjoy yourself and share your life with those that matter to you most.

SUN IN GEMINI CHARACTERISTICS

The Sun moves into the sign of Gemini on May 21, 2017.

The following characteristics can be applied to those with their Sun in Gemini as well as those with Gemini as their Rising Sign.  Although the rest of the chart can modify these natal characteristics, the Sun is generally representative of inner traits which may be reflected outward to some extent.  The rising sign is indicative of character traits that are visible to everyone and always outwardly expressed.  The rising sign is your outward expression…the face you show to the world.  The Sun sign characteristics, although they carry the same tendencies, can be modified by the rising sign. 

Someone with a weak Capricorn Sun (not implying that all Capricorn Sun placements are less strong as they are not) and a powerful influence of Leo (lets say five planets especially connecting some inner planets in Leo or a conglomeration of planets in the fifth house) will show the dominant Leo tendencies much more than the Capricorn Sun which would be diluted in this case.

Gemini individuals are talkative, expressive, enthusiastic and very restless.  They need constant stimulation especially stimulation linked to learning, such as reading materials.  They have many interests and are usually self educated to an extent on subjects of interest.  They may tend to skit along the surface of many subjects and they do not go overly deep on any one given subject.

These individuals love variety, and change is almost a prerequisite to their happiness.  They will avoid anything that they consider boring and although sensitive and sympathetic to others, they can release themselves from influences of what they term negativity.  They will have to watch from taking on other people’s problems.  They must learn over time how to separate themselves from adversity.  Running away from challenge is not advised, although it may appear to be the easy route.  They have great analytical abilities and can challenge any problem rather than run from them.  This is a very intellectual placement and the thinking process is quick although indecisive at times.

The ruling planet is Mercury which is closely tied to the mind and communication.  Teaching, writing and communication such as public speaking would be right up a Gemini’s alley.  They need intellectual stimulus to be happy.  Watch for a tendency for idle chatter, gossip and jumping from one subject to another.  These individuals must learn to focus and bring to life what they are thinking and then share these thoughts with others as this will add to their intellectual connections.  They must accept the lesson to listen whole-heartedly and to allow their thoughts to run deep.  There is much insight available if they choose to follow these guidelines. 

Some key words that apply to Gemini individuals are skillful, nimble, able, cleaver and dexterous, as well as scattered, adaptable, changeable and versatile.
