TRANSITING NEPTUNE TRINE NATAL SUN

Neptune has been hovering between 9 to 13 degrees of Pisces all of 2017 and will remain in the later of these degrees (13-14 degrees) into early 2018.  Neptune in trine to the Sun or in the sign of Pisces (its natural placement) is indicative of the opening of doors to mystical pursuits.  This of course will be relevant to those with this inclination in their overall life development plan.  This is defined in the original birth chart.

If so inclined, there are great opportunities for further of enlightenment.  The trine aspect implies easy flow and growth by letting the energies move along with little to no resistance.  Letting go is what Neptune is all about.  Those with indicators in their chart, particularly many water trines, or water on the ascendant or ruling their Sun Sign, have the necessary ingredients to open up these passageways.  There are many other indicators for psychic awareness in the birth chart, but these are the primary markers indicating such potential.  Sensitivity is what psychic potential is all about.

The energies of Neptune are ego dissolving, which is what is required for this awakening.  This is not to say that you should not be happy about the unfolding taking place in your life, but rather that much of these energies will be directed towards the assistance of others.  We are here after all to be of assistance and to offer our services to those in need.  Remember we are all siblings and share a common cause.

There are opportunities to bring to fruition some of your ideals and aspirations.  Your altruistic goals can grow and materialise under these magical energies that are present with this aspect.  We are meant to share our lives and its experiences with those that share it with us.  You may be able to feel that which these people feel (when in contact with them) and just know instinctively how to help them.  You may just offer a shoulder or provide guidance in their time of need.  Remember your greatest attribute will be the light you cast into their shadows. 

Creative abilities are yet another way this trine might express itself, which can be through music, the arts, and/or through practices of giving to others without measure.  Your creative abilities may be enhanced during this time particularly if the fifth house or Leo are somehow linked to this aspect.

The worst thing you can do during this fortunate period is to sit back and do nothing with these energies that are present.  There is great potential with this trine.  Even those with the square or conjunction can use these energies to their benefit, although it may take more effort.  Those with the sextile may find that the energies present will provide the necessary ingredients for things to fall into their hands or they may just have to initiate the process simply by stepping forward to reap the rewards of the sextile aspect. 

Use these energies in appropriate ways to push forward in your spiritual quest and promote peace around you.

HOW ARE YOU DEFINING YOURSELF?

 Where do you place importance in life?  Are your achievements important in life?  Are you achievements you strengths or your weaknesses? 

Is you focal point on your partner, the house you own or the material achievements you have made thus far? 

What do you think defines you in the eyes of others (not that it really matters)?  More importantly, what defines you in your own personal view of who you think you are?

Many people describe others by their appearance, their home and/or their occupation.  Many define others by their wealth and their process leading to their wealth, or in contrast how they have wasted their lives and made nothing out of themselves financially.  Remember this is other people’s view of what they consider success or failure and how they label those individuals involved.

It is true that a comfortable physical life has its perks and there is nothing wrong with being comfortable or wealthy but wealth does not define who you are.  Material wealth can bring comfort but it cannot guarantee eternal happiness or contentment for that matter.

 

Many that achieve material wealth seem to be obsessed with acquire more.  It has been said that success comes at a price but does this have to be?

Are you defining yourself by what you have achieved and how others see you?  Do you look in the mirror and say to yourself you are making a name for yourself and one day you will be rich?  If this will bring true happiness, keep striving.

Take a longer look and see what your reflection is tell you.  Are you happy?  Are you at peace?  Have you made a connection that fits you perfectly?  If not, what should you be pursuing?

LUNAR ECLIPSE, AUGUST 7, 2017, PART II

We will experience a Lunar Eclipse on August 7, 2017.  This Lunar eclipse will be 15 degrees in Aquarius. 

We are posting this article early as the energies of an Eclipse will be felt prior to August 7. 

This is Part II of a two part post.  Part I was posted on July 31, 2017. 

As mentioned in Part I, it is important to review you Natal Chart to see which house this eclipse will be in as this is reflective of the area of your life that will be affected by the energies.  If this event makes an aspect to a planet or angle, especially a conjunction, this eclipse will be very powerful and could cause you to search deep within.  Eclipses force us to look within and to dig up any unresolved issues or character traits that may not be overly desirable.  It will be up to us to be honest and open to anything that is uncovered and then after careful review make any desired alterations.

There are times when eclipses will bring change, random change.  This is an Aquarius eclipse.  Aquarius in this equation will bring awareness and often sudden, unexpected change.  It is not unusual that we have stalled into set circumstances and now is the time to reach out for something new and invigorating.  Look for change that will stimulate learning and growth.  Uranus (the ruler of Aquarius) is the awakener and brings about change and sometimes revolutionary change.  The changes that are stimulated will be of benefit to larger groups of people and humanitarian enterprises could be the offspring of the changes that are now being put in place.  The changes you are facing may be much bigger than you, and what you do with your life can have a profound effect on those around you.  With this in mind, take your time to think things out.  Make sure that what you decide to act on has the benefit of a greater good.

This eclipse will bring something to the surface that you are to deal with.  The truth surfaces and once you recognize what that truth is, you will be asked to take action.  Make sure you see the truth for what it is as these transformations set in motion can have profound effects.  Eclipses should not be feared.  They are a “friend” and are put in place to wake us up and help instigate required action on our part.  In many cases the energies are in place before the actual eclipse, some say several weeks prior to the actual event.  Pay attention to what is being presented.  These offerings are seldom negotiable and more often than not require us to take some action.

The Lunar eclipse is often female oriented, while the Solar eclipse is male oriented.  As a result, there may be a female in your life who will be motivated through the energies of this Eclipse.  Sometimes people of the female gender leave our lives and sometimes they enter our lives.  There may be a falling out with a female or someone comes into our life offers something of significance that creates a turning point.  Sometimes decisions have to be made, but the end result is always beneficial, even if it takes time to arrive.

It is said that if the eclipse falls close to our birthday, the solar chart for that particular year will be very significant.  There is a newness approaching and changes are in store for the whole year.  Expect an eventful year with new and exciting experiences.  The information brought forward from an eclipse is said to arrive within the first week of the eclipse or sometimes on the actual date.  This is not always the case but you should remain open a week before and a week after to see if anything significant comes your way.  Do not become obsessive with finding this information, for if the information is important, you will not miss it.  Simply be awake and open to new information.

If you are an Aquarius or have the rising sign of Aquarius, this eclipse will more than likely affect you in one way or another.  Don’t expect gigantic change or disruption in your life.  The more planets involved however (and if Aquarius is strong in your chart) the energies at work will be amplified.  

Also have a look at any progressed Planet within a few degrees of 15 degrees Aquarius and the house ruled by the progressed planet as this may also be affected.  The house position in the natal chart and progressed chart are very important factors when it comes to areas of life involved. 

It should be noted that in 19 years from this Eclipse, the degree and sign will be stimulated once again within a few degrees of where it is now.  As a result, the energies at work now will once again be in force.  The houses affected in 19 years in the progressed chart will more than likely be changed as they move forward one degree each year.

Do not fear the Eclipse.  It is a necessary energy to push us out of stagnation.  The energies of the eclipse will not affect all of us but there will be many who will benefit.  Check your chart and open you arms to change.

BUILDING IN STRENGTH

Take a look to see where you are in life.  We are speaking more on an emotional level.  Do not judge.  Just note the facts. 

What have you learned over the past year and how has it affected you?  Do you feel stronger?  Are you more in touch?

The inner self is always able to withstand most any external stimuli experienced.  This inner self has great resilience.  At times we may believe that we are regressing in the physical world, but in reality our outer personality may be dormant as we are strengthening our inner core. 

We are not referring to our higher self or soul.  That foundation is permanent and can be relied upon at anytime.  We are referring to the individual that you are building throughout the process of this life.  This inner self is the outer layers of the onion, if you will, that we are currently growing.  It is not the mind, as thoughts are generated through expectation or past experience.  We are referring to the one that has been a spectator for all of these life experiences and is more adept than our responsive self.

If you are currently feeling somewhat lost and that life has you by the hand and is seemingly pulling you in all different directions, know that the fog will lift and the grip will release. The warmth of the light will eventually burn off the fog and you will see clearly.  As a result of a positive focus, you will gain resilience from your experiences.  These trials and tribulations strengthen our resolve.... our belief in ourselves.  Through these harder lessons, we gain momentum, learn invaluable information and grow.  We are constantly learning through life’s experience and growth occurs through these experiences.  Without life lessons, we would stagnate.

Life is full of twists and turns and we should ride the wave.  Sometimes life moves along almost perfectly (in our opinions) and other times life can be like a volcano either waiting to erupt or vigorously spewing lava (especially when we fight events that are inevitable).  Remember these times are beneficial.  Our thoughts about these experiences are what determine how we experience these events.  If we focus on the hard parts of the lesson, the lesson will be extremely hard.  If we focus on the benefits of the lesson, the lesson will be beneficial.  The choice is ours.  We can do a professional job using professional tools or we can do an amateur job and ignore the tools at hand.  The more we practice with the tools available, the more precise we become using them.

Many of these life experiences have been put in place for our greater good and we are equipped to deal with these experiences either on our own or by asking for assistance.  We are never at the mercy of life, but we are at the mercy of our thoughts.  Be wary of negative thoughts.  They have no real benefit.  Live in the moment as much as possible.  The ego mind is silence when we are there and through that silence we can focus on what is important.

Can we take a moment to remind ourselves of the blessings that are coming our way, the blessings that are bestowed on us regularly in our day-to-day lives?  Why not pay heed to how life is good in so many different ways?  Why not stay focused on these things so that we can draw more of the same our way?

LUNAR ECLIPSE, AUGUST 7, 2017, PART I

We will experience a Lunar Eclipse on August 7, 2017 which will be 15 degrees in Aquarius. 

This is Part I of a two part post.  We are posting this article early as the energies of an Eclipse will be felt prior to August 7. 

Review you Natal Chart to see which house this eclipse will be in as this is reflective of the area of your life that will be affected by the energies.  If this event makes an aspect to a planet or angle, especially a conjunction, this eclipse will be very powerful and could cause you to search deep within.  An Eclipse will force us to look within and to dig up any unresolved issues or character traits that may not be overly desirable.  It will be up to us to be honest and open to anything that is uncovered and then after careful review make any desired alterations.

It is best to study your findings and not to act impulsively.  Let the energies settle into place and then make decisions.  Although some of these new discoveries may not be overly pleasing, consider this a discovery period which will amplify your ability to evaluate.  After evaluation, you can make appropriate changes where needed.  Eclipses often force us into action and help us break patterns of behaviour that are no longer suitable or that we have outgrown their usefulness.  The energies of these eclipses can help us make vibrant shifts to our life that after time will often prove viable and useful learning experiences.  They push you into new directions.  Ensure that you remain open and can accept what you find; without acceptance, change is almost impossible.

If this eclipse is powerfully activated in your natal chart, it can bring news that may offer large undertakings, such as changes in the working environment, even changes in occupation or new beginnings after some adjustment or struggle.  This is particularly true if the eclipse has activated your tenth house or sixth house.  You may decide to change residence or redecorate the family home, especially if the fourth house is the area of life activated in your chart.  There may be changes in relationships of significance such as marriage partnership or the dissolution of a marriage particularly if the seventh house is activated. 

Remember the house in which the eclipse falls is under scrutiny; however, if this event does not touch off another angle or planet in your chart, the energies may be very light and hardly even notable.  Many people fear the energies of an eclipse.  This is as a result of their energies fostering growth and change and often through aggressive manners.  It should be noted no matter how traumatic the energies may be, these changes are necessary.  These energies assist you to move forward in life.  These energies ensure that you do not stagnate as some of us resist change and do nothing when something needs to change. 

A Lunar eclipse is emotional in nature and makes us aware of life’s conditions and may now bring endings to some of these conditions, if this is necessary.  If an ending is required then changes are in store and you may have to adapt to these new experiences.

We are getting lengthy here and there is still so much more to review.  We will continue this post on Wednesday August 2, 2017.  Be aware of the energies right now.  What are you feeling?  How is this approaching Eclipse influencing you?

TRANSITING URANUS TRINE NATAL SUN

For the remainder of 2017 and up until May, 2018, transiting Uranus will be in the final degrees of the sign Aries.  It moves into Taurus in May of 2018 and then goes retrograde and moves back into Aries in November, 2018.  Finally in March, 2019, Uranus will move back into Taurus. 

Aries is a fire sign so those that have their Sun in Sagittarius or Leo will be experiencing the trine to their Sun sign during these periods.

The Trine aspect, in general, is considered a fortunate aspect, although (for example) if someone has been struggling with an illness, with the prospect of a cure, this aspect’s energies can define the finalization of this energy and give details on the passing beyond the turmoil which has been impacting the individual.  In all cases, it suggests easy flow of energies and often opportunities along the way.

Uranus always speaks of change and sometimes the changes being brought forward can be disruptive yet stimulating.  Uranus’s energies bring about exciting change and new adventure.

 

In most cases, the changes brought forward (sometimes of your own accord and sometimes by the nature of life) will be what are required at that point in life.  Life may have stagnated on a personal, spiritual or evolutionary level and Uranus will stimulate action.  Quite often the periods when Uranus is direct in our charts, we can count on changes although how the change takes place may be unexpected. 

Transiting Uranus is used in predictive Astrology as a timer of events.

With an aspect activated in our charts with Uranus, there is little doubt that we will grow through the resulting experiences.  The areas of life involved will be defined by the Astrological houses involved in the equation.  The Sun in Astrology often has to do with goals and aspirations and this may be the time for these focus to be stimulated.  This could involve a business proposition, a job opportunity, a project that you have been working on now.  The likelihood of success is enhanced during this aspect period.

The Sun also speaks of physical health, and many will begin new physical regimes during this time.  You may find that you are looking after yourself much better during and after this period and what you set in motion can be followed through on and permanently incorporated into your routine.  Using these energies in a positive manner can bring about great results.  If you choose not to act on these energies you are wasting a great opportunity and you may be forced down the road to take alternative measures to alleviate what could be settled now.

It is time to move forward in a new direction and the opportunities are available for you to take advantage of.  Do not sit back and do nothing if this aspect is in your Chart.  Use these energies to your advantage.  It will be a long time (if ever again depending on your age) before this aspect returns in your Chart.  Uranus has an 84 year cycle, so the next time (dividing the 84 years by 3) will be in roughly 28 years from now.

A PROMINENT ROLE

No one person is insignificant or unimportant! 

We each have a role to honour and a part to play.  Everyone, without exception, has something of importance to offer to the collective whole.  We each have gifts to offer.  Some of us unfortunately do not recognize these gifts but, with or without recognition, they are there. 

We are the forerunners of this moment in time.  Many individuals are awakening.  This presents a wonderful opportunity to share our knowledge and assist with the current shift.  What an honour for us to be here, right now, and playing our part in this unfolding story. 

Why now?  Why us?  Is knowing this answer important? 

Recognize your own significance....to yourself and to others....not for ego sake but for the recognition that you have purpose.  You are spiritual in nature and you have entered human form to assist your spiritual evolution.  You are perpetual energy living temporarily in human form.  Utilize this opportunity.
