REJUVENATE OUR FOCUS THROUGH CONCENTRATED EFFORT

In order to maintain a positive journey, it can be necessary to realign our focus from time to time.  Sometimes we get a little lost in events and forget that our concentrated focus forms our reality.  We can easily get lost and become complacent.  Unintentionally, we go on automatic pilot and become absorbed in these events.  When the lessons get tough we can get lost in an attitude of why me and allow this less than ideal attitude to carry us away.  We can lose touch with past lessons and get swept away.  Thank goodness something jolts us back into the moment and remind us that our focus is actually exaggerating the lesson that we see as being so tough.

It is important to remember that we are human when we vary off course with our focus and gratitude.  Be gentle with yourself but the faster we recognize our negative focus, the faster we can re-centre ourselves and start to enjoy the ride.  In particular it is important to pay attention to what is important in our lives and what bring us happiness especially during the harder lessons.  We are always capable of shifting our focus to anything that helps us to experience happiness (it is a choice) and this choice eventually helps us decide to choose calm.

The object of our focus does not have to be anything colossal.  As a matter of fact, it is usually the small simple pleasures of life that help to uplift us.   As we are well aware, focusing on negativity only brews sadness, fear and anxiety.

If we have allowed ourselves to slip back into negativity for an extended time or if this is a new concept, it can certainly take some work as we identify with these energies.  It can be difficult to even recognize in the beginning, but with constant mental reminders and a gentle but concentrated effort, it does gets much easier.  Eventually a focus on negativity will become effortlessly recognizable.  Your vibration (energy) changes as you regain your positive momentum and life will feel as though it is lifting.  It will feel much lighter and easier.  It may take some time for these effects to be noticeable as much depends on how long we have been drawn into negative drama.  Little by little, we notice the subtle changes and our lives will begin to feel and look much more promising. 

Do not give in to the challenging conditions in life.  View them simply as lessons that lead us to great growth and development. 

We can never forget our focus.  By developing a positive focus, we take control of our journey and our attitude towards it.

MIDPOINTS IN ASTROLOGY

Midpoints in Astrology are considered one of the most successful astrological applications available in the study of Astrology and its predictive abilities.  A midpoint is the exact halfway point between two planets, or two significant points (Ascendant, Midheaven) or astrological bodies such as Chiron.  The Part Of Fortune can also be used, as well as the Vertex, or other bodies that you use to delineate an Astrology Chart. 

If you have Uranus at 11 degrees Cancer and the Moon at 28 degrees Scorpio, for example, then the midpoint would be 19 degrees Virgo.  If by chance you have a planet or significant point in the natal chart that is within a one degree orb of 19 degrees Virgo (18 to 20 degrees), that planet would have Uranus and Moon connotations mixed into the meaning of the planetary position.  If, for example, you have Mars in this position, Mars would be heavily influenced by Uranus and the Moon.

With transits and progressions, any planetary link to this position in our example would carry these overtones as well as the conjunction to Mars.  You can also use the semi-square, the square, the Sesquiquadrate and the opposition when delineating this configuration.  These aspects are all divisions of 45 degrees and will bring action, create events and make these energies noticeable to the individual (and also at times others that are involved in the equations).

Midpoints are very significant when deciphering potential events suggested by the natal midpoint scheme and the houses involved in the equation.   It is important to use an orb of no more than one degree when deciphering what potential situations may occur.  Midpoints are significant because they will provide an Astrologer with a clearer definition of what potential lies within the bounds of these configurations.

This not only applies to transits and progressions but also be applied in the natal chart with any midpoint of any combination.  The midpoint becomes a focal point when transits or progression join up to make contact with these sensitive points in the natal chart.  In most cases when the conjunction is activated between the two planets or significant points and the aspect is direct within one minute, you can certain expect that something will happen. 

The house location of the midpoint will provide you with the area of life affected and you also have to look at the houses the two bodies are located in the natal chart to provide a clearer picture.  Also take into consideration what each of the planets represent and how this area of life will be affected. 

As with our example earlier, the Moon, Uranus and Mars would suggest an emotional experience that would be sudden and unexpected.  It would have the potential for aggressive action or progressive movement in the areas of life indicated by the house placements.

Midpoints can pinpoint events although the more angles involved in the equation, the harder it is to delineate the specifics.  Using the midpoint between the two planets is often sufficed in providing additional information. 

Always pay particular attention to the midpoints between the Sun and the Moon, and the Ascendant and the Midheaven as these will have significance.

NEW MOON IN CANCER JUNE 24

The New Moon is a time to plant seeds to be harvested when the Full Moon is in the same Astrological sign. 

The New Moon on June 24, 2017 is suggestive of a time to make things happen especially on a mental level because this New Moon at 2 degree Cancer has ties with Mercury.  The energies fortified by Mercury (which by the way will not go into retrograde until August 9, 2017), can heighten the mental capacity, making us feel more clever in conversation and in areas related to learning.  Mercury loves schooling, and learning can be achieved in many different manners.  This can be the time to take on any learning adventure and build these lessons into something worthwhile in times to come.

As mentioned, New Moons are linked to the beginning of something new and the Full Moon rewards us for the efforts we have put forth under the influence of the New Moon.  This New Moon will be especially powerful for anyone with astrological links to two degrees (within the five degrees influence.) Any link from 27 degrees to 7 degrees especially by conjunction, square, opposition or trine and to a lesser degree sextile, (give the sextile a smaller orb of influence than five degrees) will influence you.

The house placement will be of significance, as this will be the area of life that is activated during this New Moon phase.  For example, the influence will be of personal matters when related to the first house and you can make constructive changes or forge ahead in new adventures if this placement includes you.  In the fifth house for example, the influence could include your children, current or new love affairs, creative expressions and the sheer enjoyment of life through social interaction or moving forward with enjoying life.  If in the ninth house, this may be the time to think about publishing that book or putting that book you have been thinking about forward on paper.  There may also be some litigation during this period or schooling of life or energies put forward into continued education on some level if found in the ninth house.

It will be a time when family and friends play an important role in your life.  Your children, your parents and the family may become more relevant and nurturing will play a more significant role in your life and in the lives of these people. 

For those individuals that have an interest in the healing modalities, this could be a time when your energies are heightened as the intuitive facilities can become stimulated.  You might want to pursue this if this has held an interest in your life, perhaps taking up Reiki or any of the healing modalities either on a physical level or on a mental level.  Mars makes a wide conjunction during this time as well, so the energies are there to motivate you forward if you are so inclined.

The New Moon in Cancer will help you to be more gentle and compassionate especially towards your loved ones.  This could be a very positive time to show them just how much you really care.  You can address their concerns, assist them in ways that you have been pondering and provide them with the mental reassurance that they need.  This will be helpful for them but things always work their way back.  What you put out returns in life. 

This is a productive time to help others.  It is important however to note that when we do things for others we are not doing so in the hope that it will return to us.  Do it with the simple plan on helping and facilitating growth on some level and for nothing more.

ACTUALIZE YOUR DREAMS

It is time to make your dreams come true.  Many of us have been sitting around long enough.  Now is the time to take action on our goals. 

What are we waiting for?  We are the only ones holding us back. 

Many dreams have been sitting on the shelf and we have been waiting on the right moment to move forward.  Many of us resist moving forward because of the fear of failure.  Is not better to try and fail than to live our lives with regrets for never trying at all?  What we term as failure is simply a lesson to help us adjust our dreams to make them workable.

All dreams have the capability of transforming into reality.  You have what it takes to make those necessary moves.  Go for it.  Forge ahead and if you fail, learn from the lesson so that you can begin again.  There is no time like the present.  Take advantage of this moment.  Strive to make your ambitions a reality.  Believe in yourself. 

You and you alone hold the key to your own personal success.  It may not unfold as you might think it should at times, but at the very least it will unfold, so push on.  Occasionally life drops opportunities on our laps.  More often than not, however, we must orchestrate the action but not without stepping into the unknown.

You can do it.  Believe!!

SUN IN CANCER ON JUNE 22, 2017

An Astrological Sun sign, by definition, is descriptive of our most inner self.  Some of the more gentle or subdued Sun signs can be highly influenced by other stronger factors in the chart.  This could include several planets often linked by a Stellium in one house other than the house ruled by the Sun sign.  Another example is a powerful rising sign which is enforced by many aspects from other planets.  To a lesser extent, modalities, elements and an emphasis in different house segments can also dilute the Sun Sign characteristics.  This is why some people do not have a powerful identification with their Sun sign although the Sun sign usually identifies us rather well deep within.

On June 22, this year (2017) the Sun will enter the sign of Cancer.

Those with the Sun in Cancer are clearly identified by their emotional state, which is subject to change depending upon outside circumstances.  One day they can be uplifting and emotionally secure and the next day they may appear emotionally upset and moody.  It is important that these highly sensitive individuals understand that their emotions are affected by their surroundings.  Cancer individuals must always have a place of comfort and peace to return to after a day of interaction with the world.

Most Cancer people are sensitive to the needs of others as well as their own person needs.  They are protective of others and their own emotions and will fight for the underdog or those who are wronged.  When confronted, they often hide behind a wall of security which to others may seem hard to penetrate.  Cancer individual’s emotions are actually sensitive to criticism and many Cancer individuals hold on to these comments for a long time.  They are “feeling” people and feel everything intensely.  Because of this, they protect themselves accordingly.

Those with strong Cancer tendencies are nurturing to family and also those that could be considered family.  Many are avid cooks and enjoy entertaining those individuals that have a close place in their heart.  Some are talkative, especially if they have a strong Venus or Gemini character traits in their chart, but many are somewhat subdues, preferring to listen rather than participate.  Much depends on the overall astrological chart’s condition.

As mentioned, Cancer’s need a private place where they can recharge their emotional batteries, and their home has to reflect this.  Many will have their home decorated in soft colours and filled with articles that hold memories as they can be attached to the past.  Family, children and close friends are important to them.  They care deeply and will work tirelessly to keep these people in their lives, but if emotionally hurt by them, Cancer individuals can resort to letting them go from their lives, especially if they are emotionally hurt repetitively. 

If there are other factors in the chart, such as an emphasis in water, or a Grand Water Trine, or a close contact between Neptune and Pluto, these individuals often has psychic tendencies.  Some become intuitive or are born with some traits links to the supernatural. 

Cancer individuals can provide services offering assistance to those in their times of need.  They feel out situations and are highly susceptible to outside influences.  As a result, Cancer people will have to be careful not to take on energies of others while attempting to help them.

SUMMER SOLSTICE 2017

We will be celebrating the summer solstice on June 21, 2017 in the Northern hemisphere.  This powerful solar energy serves to recharge our spirits, minds and bodies.

All things are energy and this energy is interconnected.  Some of us are quite aware of these influential external energies and others, are not.  With or without this awareness, all living things are affected by the position of the planets at their birth, by the continual movement of the planets, by the influence of the rotation of our earth including the changing seasons and any other shifts that occur in nature. 

When guided by spirit/our higher selves (call it what you may), our focus is to walk and live our truth, during the easy times but especially during the times that we are being tested or taught.  Take advantage of the strong solar energies of the Summer Solstice to push forward with this focus.  Use the more aggressive energies of the Sun to catapult forward and allow yourself to bloom into your own true creation.  As with the Sun current at its fullest potential for our earthly position, you too can allow all of your inner power and beauty to radiate out.  This expresses your true self but also benefits each and every other living thing that your energy touches.

What a glorious time of year.  Allow yourself to mirror the seasons.  We have just experienced a season of wonderful renewal.  We have worked hard to create buds of promise.  Now is the time to allow those buds to open and to eventually bear the fruit of our efforts but also to allow all other living things to see and experience this beauty and to eventually share our fruits. 

Happy Summer Solstice!
