THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND CARING

I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that life is getting back to normal and I am ready to move forward with my on Astrology charts and Oracle readings once again (although I never really stopped completely during the healing process). 

I certainly did need some healing time and energy work.  The outpouring of love, compassion and healing energy shared was felt deeply and appreciated.  It is wonderful to see how people come together during times of need.  So many of you have shown your true BEAUTIFUL colours to me over the past couple of months. 

Remember to stay true to your own needs as well --self-healing and unconditional love towards self.  Giving without measure is a gift which is meant to be shared not only with others but most certainly with self.

Again, thank you everyone and I wish you all well!

Peter.

TRANSITING PLUTO OPPOSITION NATAL MOON

Transiting Pluto, which moves roughly one degree a year, is moving through the sign of Capricorn.  In the year 2017 Pluto can be found between 16 to 19 degrees of Capricorn.  If you allow yourself approximately five degrees when Pluto is approaching (11 to 14 degrees Capricorn) and two degree separating, so up to and including 21 to 22 degrees Capricorn and if your Natal Moon is in the sensitive sign of Cancer, you will be experiencing an opposition between transiting Pluto and your natal Moon. 

The Moon can identify your reigning need in life.  It is indicative of what makes up your emotional makeup and is an indicator of your emotional response to life’s situations.  In Cancer there is a genuine need to provide emotional support particularly to family members and close friends.  There are mothering qualities linked to your emotional being and a protective wall that you offer when those near and dear to you need your emotional support.  This is particularly true when it comes to your children and parents, as well as your brothers and sisters.  If connected to the fourth house in your chart and strong in the sign of Cancer, you may find that you offer this support in your home environment.  If in the second house you will provide the family with emotional support through security measures.  If in the sixth house you may provide them with support through health matters or through critiquing their moves in life offering some form of support through disciplined action.

The natal Moon in Cancer makes you very sensitive to emotional upheavals and when your own emotional life is challenged, you may wish to withdraw or not to deal with these matters.  The sensitivities are extreme and you feel what others feel.  Many Moon in Cancer individual develop psychic abilities especially if there are other links suggesting this in the birth chart.  You instinctively feel what is going on around you and can be a helping hand for those going through trauma as long as you learn not to take on the energies and make them your own.

Pluto is all about regeneration, transformation, potential confrontation, and the ability to change what needs changing after careful and honest review.  Pluto’s action is slow and deliberate, and you cannot avoid its confrontational and transformative energies.  Pluto is a powerful force in Astrology and constitutes action where it is needed.  When connected to other planets through the opposition (the Moon in this post), often times other people will be involved and possibility the effects on you will be through their actions.  Pluto’s actions are inevitable.

Pluto often speaks in terms of power struggles and in opposition this will be connected to other people.  Often confrontations are likely and one or both sides will try to control or manipulate the other.  If you are coming from the right place, things will still seem disrupted but there is greater potential for the resolution to work out perhaps in your favour.  Any preconceived notions that you will be able to dictate will most likely cause much disruption and ego disputes.  These arguments may stem from your lover or your children or even other family members.  Sometimes it is through women that these issues arise or the problem may involve women, even the mother (indicated by the Moon).

From an internal point of view, this transit can signify great internal struggles and could stem from earlier in your life.  You may find that issues that you thought you had dealt with now surface and will need to be faced and acted on, once and for all.  This is Pluto’s purpose-- to bring up any unfinished business that needs dealing with so that you can move forward in life.  Often you will get gentle nudges in the beginning to change something or move through a difficulty.  Later, if you did nothing originally, the energies that are stirred up can become much more aggressive.  You must act on what is taking place in your life or Pluto will almost always make things much more difficult and will ensure that the issues are faced. 

If the emotional problems are too intense then this is a good time to seek professional advice that will help you understand the process and help you deal with the issues.  The answers to life’s dilemmas are always found within and although others can help you activate the energies to work through the problem, you ultimately do what must be done.  When Pluto has passed through this area, your life will have gone through some changes that have been required for a long time.

IS OUR COURSE SET IN STONE?

Many of us accept that our life’s course was laid out long before our birth.  We come with a plan, a course of action that will eventually take us forward to accomplish what we specifically needed to expand on. 

Does this mean that we are at the mercy of this preplanned course?  Does this mean that we no longer have a hand in our direction?  If we do not have a choice, are we to sit back as an observer without any intent on our part to push in any conscious or desired direction?

These are valid questions.  Have we taken the time to ponder or investigate the answers to these questions from a spiritual point of view as opposed to our earthly perspective, if this is at all possible?    Let’s accept, for the sake of argument, that our course was preplanned.  Let’s accept that the ingredients and circumstances of this life are put in place to provide us with the ultimate opportunities to learn specific objectives for our greater good.  Although the course may be preplanned, this does not suggest that we do not have a hand in these experiences.  It is a physically earthbound concept that implies that we do not have a hand in the process and it is difficult for us to conceive the facts that both can play out at the same time.

It has been suggested that the past, the present and the future are all here at the same time.  If this in fact is true, why could we not mold life through the actions we take now.  Is it possible for a human mind to be able to comprehend that a plan set in motion before birth is also being created in this present moment?  Is this a contradiction or is it actually possible? 

The original plan or lesson for this lifetime may well be set in motion by our actions taken today and we may well be part of the process by making decisions to move in specific directions now.  Living in the moment could initiate the original plan.  Go beyond earthly thinking and think in terms of spiritual understanding.  Nothing is as it seems and our apparent actions taken today through human thought and focus actually activate what has already been put in place.  We do have a hand in our earthly progress.

We mold our reality by our thoughts, our expectations and our belief structures.  We align with our original intent through an ongoing process activated by these thoughts, expectations and beliefs.  Through these current focuses we link up once again with our intended path and activate our lessons already set in motion before our birth.  Can we process this information and then take from it what serves us best? 

Realize your part in the process we call life.

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT MERCURY

Mercury, the planet of the mind, needs to be stimulated through other planetary energies or important angles in the chart to become active.  On its own, Mercury is considered neutral.  Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo.

The second planet we are looking at today is Uranus.  Uranus is considered a planet of action and often brings forth change, sometimes disruptive change, but none the less change.  This change is usually required.  It opens the door for something new and exciting to enter into the picture.  Uranus is impulsive, erratic and can also be unconventional in its behaviour.  It often brings a fresh start to an otherwise stale condition.

When active through conjunction, Uranus brings emphasis to what it touches and creates activities often put into motion on the day it becomes direct.  It is used as a timing factor and although its energies can be felt for as much as 5 degrees while approaching, it intensifies immensely as it draws ever nearer to becoming direct.

When Uranus is in line with Mercury, the mind is stimulated and new concepts, often original in nature and sometimes different from anything experienced previous to this time, have the opportunity to come to life.  Communicating these ideas will play a significant role in whether or not they actually get off the ground.  Inaction is not suggested and the need to be open and share this information is advisable.  Often a by-product of these blended energies is a shift towards altering another person’s perspective, pushing them into something new and stimulating (although if in Aries, the energies can be usually very personal in nature).  Uranus has to do with technology, science and mathematics and is also correlated with Astrology and often these areas are part of the unfolding process.

Uranus also asks those involved to become open to anything new that might pop up at this time.  As a result, those that are of fixed opinions will need to become more flexible.  Uranus is currently in the sign of Aries, and Aries wants us to reach out to new horizons.  Aries wants to push forward and can sometimes rush towards something that is motivating it forward.  Making mistakes along the way is common because of the urge to rush and to not take the time required to think through the process thoroughly.  You will probably need to cultivate patience and learn how to persevere through potential setbacks especially if Saturn is somehow connected in the birth chart or through transit. 

Transiting Saturn is in trine to Uranus as we write this post and if your natal Mercury is conjunct Uranus, which is what we are discussing, then you may feel a push and pull situation with the ideas you are trying to implement.  Transiting Saturn will provide a degree of caution and perhaps even the fear of failure, while Uranus and Mercury will push towards action.  Take the necessary time needed in order to be sure that what you are trying to accomplish has a chance to succeed and then move forward.  If you happen to fall short of your objectives, do not hesitate to pick up the pieces and begin again. 

This is a time to reach out beyond boundaries and setting sail for something new, that with proper insight, has the chance to succeed.  All the best in your future endeavours.

FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS, JUNE 9, 2017

The Full Moon is a culmination of energies set in motion some six months ago when the New Moon was in the same sign as the current Full Moon (June 9, 2017).  Currently the full moon is in the sign of Sagittarius at 18 degrees (Sun in opposition to the Moon).  The plans set in motion during the New Moon in Sagittarius, now have the opportunity to mature.  It is time to harvest the fruits of your labours.  

The energies of Sagittarius often deal with spirituality and higher learning.  Sagittarius’ energies also are connected to court dealings, foreign culture and travel plans.

This will be the time (especially for those who have other planets near the 18 degree mark, particularly in Sagittarius) for these expressions or energies to manifest.  You will have the opportunity to make changes, start anew, or cultivate what is now available for harvest. 

Sagittarius is very much connected to higher learning, sometimes literally as in higher education or could refer to the schooling of life.  As you can imagine, much can be learned during this phase of our journey.

During this period of influence when these energies are at their highest, Saturn is conjunct the Full Moon.  Saturn under normal conditions is suggestive of challenges to plans, delays, restriction and general hardships.  It is in retrograde however and during the retrograde cycle, the energies of Saturn often work opposite to their normal energies.  It is during this phase, if you have been working diligently towards an objective, that the energies of Saturn will help you push this objective forward with little restriction and often with the promise of just rewards for the work that has been spent.

Saturn’s conjunction with the Full Moon is also in trine to the energies of Uranus (although almost out by ten degrees).  The energies of Uranus challenge us to move forward in new directions that hold some promise of freedom of expression and offer unique alternatives to what you may have been going through for some time.  Uranus’ action is somewhat unpredictable and often unexpected, but is often just what is needed to push us forward when we may feel restricted or worried about where that step might lead us.

Saturn and Uranus together certainly offer some unpredictability although may also bring into life over time what was required to lift uncertainty.  With the right ingredients (time and effort along with the belief that good things happen to those that wait) can produce new insights and new roads to follow.  Sometimes the steps seem to be laid out in advance.  Other times we are required to take the steps needed to move in a specific direction.  It is suggested that while Saturn is retrograde (which it will be until the end of August) that there will be less intrusion and less restriction in taking the steps that you might need to take now.  When it goes direct again, you may feel more restricted and will be less likely to advance easily with plans for something new, which is the route Uranus is offering. 

Take advantage of the free flow of energy with Saturn now.  This is an opportunity set in motion some time ago.  Let go and see where life takes you.  It is not always about control.  It can be more about belief and having faith that life always takes you down the road that is most suitable, even if the terrain is rough.

INTERNAL QUANDARY

How often do you find yourself caught up in the blah, blah, blah chatter of the mind?  There can be absolutely no rational whatsoever to the chatter we listen to and yet we allow ourselves to be completely engulfed in it.  We follow along blindly without questioning the concepts or the information we are being fed.  This can go on indefinitely and we can become so caught up in this chatter that we lose sight or our principles and beliefs.  We give in to the mind’s constant chatter and its continuous so called “rationalizations”.

We continually come up with concepts or belief structures that fit the moment but unfortunately the mind runs with the intricate details created and building on the simple truths until they are so bastardized that we no longer recognize them.  In turn we experience confusion and stress rather than truth.  We have the ability to follow along any line of thought as long as we decide to.  Why is it than, that so we can become trapped by ideas that serve little if any purpose at all in our lives?

We can allow ourselves to see life as traumatic and each situation at hand, although each of these is often not overwhelming, yet slowly through the mind’s chatter they becomes just that.  The mind completely blows things out of proportion and we follow the blah, blah, blah chatter without even questioning the fact that we do not need to go down that destructive road.  We can control our belief structures and reaction to anything life has to throw at us BUT we must first recognize when we are becoming lost in the confusion, self pity and manipulation of our ego mind.

If we do not like what we are hearing, we simply do not have to identify with it.  Do not make it yours....do not own it.  It is only ours if we choose to make it so.  Learning to catch the manipulation in the beginning is preferred.  It is through recognition that we can make a conscious decision as to which concepts and ideas we wish to follow.  We also can choose which reactions we choose to allow.  By allowing ourselves to be swept away by our thoughts and life events, we become lost in the events and this often leads to nervous ailments (dis-ease), mental confusion and feelings of disparity. 

Once we begin to recognize the control we actual have, we can alter our reactions in such a way that we have control of how we feel and see lessons simply as opportunity to grow not events of destruction.  In order to facilitate change, real constructive change, we need to alter our attitude.  Rather than putting our focus on the events and situations we do not approve of, we might refocus on all those events and situations that make us feel good or satisfied.  Do not try to avoid less than ideal situation.  Avoidance is actually giving focus to something.  In turn that which we are trying to avoid is given even more strength.  The law of attraction does not question what it is we are concentrating on.  It simply gives us more of the same, so focus is the key.

For example, if there is a challenging situation within an important relationship.  Under these circumstances, do not think about what it is that is causing the issues.  Think about what in the relationship holds you together and what in the relationship creates strength and makes you feel good.  Re-channeling your focus brings more of what you are focusing on and in turn makes you appreciative of the relationship. 

Life will take us down the road we need to be on.  The events of life happen for us to learn from.  We are never off course even when it appears as though we are.  Adjustments are necessary as life continues, but much can be learned from the focus of our thoughts and created through our expectations.  We mold our future by our focus today.  Build a future through an open attitude that is conducive to easy lessons.  We can learn our life lessons as we are pulled through them kicking and screaming or we can learn out lessons through acceptance and a positive focus.  Which would be easier? 

You ARE the creator of your own destiny.
