MINI FORECAST FOR SUN IN AQUARIUS Part II

We have already discussed the impact from transiting Mars and transiting Jupiter on those with their Sun in Aquarius on January 26, 2018.  Now we will provide a little more information for those with their Sun in Aquarius as well as those with their rising sign in Aquarius.

Uranus, consistently since March of 2011, has been in sextile with those who have their Sun in Aquarius.  Those with their Sun sign in the early degrees will have completed this sextile now.  Those Aquarian with their Sun in the later degrees will have it in effect until May of 2018.  Uranus will then moves into Taurus and will be squaring those individuals with their Sun in the early degrees of Aquarius.  You can allow an orb of influence of 5 to 7 degrees approaching and 2 to 3 degrees separating (once it is past) your Sun sign degree.

There is a difference of energies between those with their Sun in Aquarius and those with their rising sign in Aquarius.  Aquarius rising will also have these energies in effect but the energies will affect these individuals’ life’s expression, their relationships, their finances and in some cases their health.  Much will depend on other aspects to this position as well as aspects within the natal chart. 

For those people with their Sun in Aquarius, Uranus sextile will have influences with life’s goals and objectives, personal pursuits which may not be evident to those outside of close friends’ circle and family.  These energies can also have an effect on the health of the body.  Generally, the sextile offers up good health unless of course there are other factors in the chart identifying something to the contrary.

Uranus is the instigator for change in our lives.  It is constantly reaching for something, but usually only when things have gone stale or change is a requirement of the individual’s personal advancement.  Uranus can be rather abrupt in its expression and often creates sudden and unexpected events to unfold.  Along with this sudden change, quite often it will be experienced with a dynamic release.

This is a time when these individuals can change direction and move away from how things were and move towards new and often exciting experiences because of opportunities showing up in your life.  Sometimes these things can come out of nowhere and other times you have to initiate the action.  It is best to move ahead with these matters when they present themselves to you as the timing is ripe for new experiences and with the potential for growth.  Their self-expression may now be enhanced.  There is more freedom in doing this than may have been present before, although Aquarius is often freedom seeking and self-expression, under most conditions, is not an issue.

There may be more opportunities for advancement in the career.  If they have become complacent with their goals in life but wish to move forward, now is the time to step up.  Sextiles often speak of opportunities to come to life and although they may think that perhaps the higher forces are directing these things into their life, Aquarius individuals may still have to pursue what has been brought to their attention.  This is a freedom aspect and Aquarians are best to take advantage of the energies at hand.

MINI FORECAST FOR THOSE WITH SUN IN AQUARIUS (Part one)

Before we go into detail with this mini forecast, it should be understood that this is far from a full picture of how the transits and progressions are lining up with anyone with their sun in Aquarius and your full natal chart.  This post is a very general summary for all individuals with their Sun in Aquarius.  Other combinations within the Astrology chart can and will dilute this information or can actually enhance it. 

We will be touching on three aspects.  Two of these aspects will only involve those with their Sun in Aquarius between 15 or 16 degrees to 29 degrees (so those born in the second half of the sign). 

The first aspect we will discuss, Transiting Mars, will affect all individuals with Sun in Aquarius at some point in the transit, which will end on March 17, 2018.

Mars is currently in the sign of Sagittarius, often suggesting a push towards higher learning, philosophical pursuits, religious inclination and optimistic life approaches.  Mars is aggressive in its pursuit and when in the fire sign of Sagittarius cam willfully insist on pursuing whatever this path maybe that any Aquarian is choosing to follow at this point in time.

When in sextile (a 60 degree aspect), the energies are opportunistic and very favourable.  When involving the Sun, it may be time to advance the approach with a little more vigor and rest assured unless there are other factors in the chart offsetting this placement, the opportunities for advancement are much more influential than they would any other time.  This is a favourable aspect if this Aquarian individual chooses to pursue it. 

The house the natal Sun is in and the house being transited by Mars will be the areas of life that are affected.  The energy and drive will be directed into the house that the Sun is residing in.  Also have a look at where the Aquarian’s natal Mars is located as this will give them hints as to how the energies might play out.  Some of their goals especially those they have had in the back of their mind have potential for growth at this time. 

Jupiter currently (January 2018) is in the sign of Scorpio.  Because Scorpio is three signs away from the sign Aquarius, this angle between Jupiter and the Sun is a square.  This square indicates some challenging conditions along with the favourable potential brought on by the Mars aspect previously mentioned.  In most cases a square (90 degree aspect) indicates some strife, some challenge, as well as some obstacles to overcome.  However, Jupiter, known as the most favourable planet in the horoscope, nearly always offers perks in some form or another.  The energy may suggest some challenging conditions along the way in reaching these goals, but Jupiter also suggests that if the Aquarian follows their instincts and does this in through proper channels and hard work, the potential for achievement is enhanced.  Jupiter insists that things are done on the up and up.  Some struggles along the way can be anticipated but the final outcome looks promising.

Aquarians will be affected by this transit between Jupiter and the Sun if their Sun is between 8 and 29 degrees in Aquarius.  Jupiter will go into retrograde on March 9.  It will be at 23 degrees (so it will not affect those with their Sun in the very early degrees as mentioned as transits have a range of influence of about 5 to 7 degrees when approaching a planet or an angle in the birth chart and about 2 to 3 degrees while separating from the planet or angle).  While Jupiter is in its retrograde cycle, its energies are somewhat harnessed.  Jupiter will stay in retrograde from March 9 until July 10, 2018.  During this retrograde period, it will move from 23 degrees back to 13 degrees so if you have your Sun in these degrees it will pass over that particular degree and then pass over it once again when it goes direct.  The energies are enhanced when Jupiter passes close to the degree of your Sun and then will be at its peak when it directly (same degree) hits your Sun. 

Jupiter will remain in Scorpio until November 9, 2018, when it moves into Sagittarius.

We will continue our mini forecast for Aquarius on Monday, January 29.

ARE THESE TROUBLING TIMES?

Take a hard look around you.  Did you judged the situation of the world at large? 

It is far too easy to assume that these are troubling times.  The media focuses on negativity and this leads us to believe that our world is in a state of chaos.  It is our own personal responsibility to strive to bring peace back to our own little corner of the world.  This will create a ripple effect.

Did you know according to many studies, in the United States of America for example, that violent crime rates are actually down significantly?  You would not realize this from any news broadcast that you watch.  Survival is a primal response.  The news broadcasters know that violence converts into viewers.  It is not by co-incidence that there are very few “feel good” reports in the news.

That being said, there is always room for improvement.  The time is always ripe for positive intervention. Is it not time for those of us who are on this journey together to play our part in the healing process for individuals, for Mother Nature, for the world as a whole? 

We cannot sit back and wait for others to nurture.  It is essential to play a positive role.

We are rich with guides and most importantly, the guide within is most reliable as it/we are connected to source.  Go within and enjoy the wealth.  More often than not we look for answers outside of self, forgetting that our higher self in connected to all that is.  As a result, how we choose and whatever we choose to offer is perfect and will always be timely. 

We can do our little part and in so doing, we are stimulating others to do their part.  A small action from you will create a mighty wave further down the river of life. 

Belief in yourself can bring about ground-breaking healing and change to everyone. 

Help yourself and in turn you are helping others.

TRANSITING SATURN TRINE THE MOON

At the time of preparing this post (January 2018), transiting Saturn had just moved into the sign of Capricorn.  In this piece, we will focus on the transit of Saturn trine to the natal Moon.  If your Moon is in Virgo or Taurus in your natal chart then transiting Saturn at some point over the next 2 ½ years will make a trine to your natal Moon.

Saturn in trine to the natal Moon is most often harmonious in its expression, although Saturn does imply that you may have to put diligent efforts into your plans you for the future and for the home and family. 

This is a great time to lay the foundation that may apply to the family, especially where young children are concerned.  The family holds special relevance at this time and you have to be thorough and consistent with them.  This may include making things safer for them or providing them with an example where they can learn from you what it takes to build a solid foundation.  If you have teenagers or young adults, teach them responsibility, help them understand that they are the orchestrator of their lives and that the decisions they make can have profound effects later on in life.

If the recent past has be somewhat challenging for you, you may now find that things settle down and are more in balance than what they were previous.  Saturn has to do with work and worldly goals and the Moon deals with emotional response to the world. 

You may find that during this trine that the two seem to be working together in more harmoniously than in the past. 

Taking care of matters related to the home and the world of business.  This including your work, your finances and any purchases made recently for these may now seem to work better for you.  This is a time of organization and the building of a concrete base that will provide security for yourself, your family as well as business concerns in the future.

You may also find that older people in positions of authority or those with experience can assist you at this time, as Saturn is associated with these people.  Older woman or experienced women may play a significant role under this influence as well.  You are now able to listen more intently to learn especially when they speak to you about financial and business concerns as well as the home and family environment. 

These individuals have so much information to offer.  Take advantage of the information the are offing.

YOU HAVE TO WANT TO DO IT

Many of us carry out various practices such as meditation, energy healing, delineating synchronicities and self-help techniques that add to enlightenment and awareness in our lives.  These are all viable practices and are certainly a tool to assist us to progress and grow.  These are not a want; they are a need.

 

When we are focused on the intent to continue forward and believe in what we are doing, the energies unfold and the changes and awareness are enhances.  Enjoy and truly experience the process, whatever this may encompass.  Those individuals that simply go through the motions or do it because they believe it is what is needed may notice little advancement from a personal perspective although they are still advancing in general terms.  Once we open the door, advancement is always part of the process.

We can never go back to where we once where or to whom we once were prior to this transition.  Our eyes have been opened.  I am quite certain that most of us would prefer to walk towards the light of awareness and be taught the lessons that bring enlightenment, no matter how difficult. 

Many of us are guilty of the lack of patience and the journey, in many cases, is slow and can be somewhat tedious at times.  Patience is obviously one of the important lessons.  If, however, you take the time to look back even over one year, you will come to the conclusion that much has changed and you are moving along rather nicely.

The more you are in line with the steps to move ahead and enjoy the lessons that are required, the greater the advancement.  The more you go with the flow, the better the results.  You have to want to succeed and appreciate the steps that are taking place in your life. 

There are countless individuals that are sleeping and feel no need to move beyond their current level of life.  This is certainly their choice and may be an important lesson in their life. 

If you are reading this, however, you have a stirring within.  Do not become complacent.  Recognize the honour in sharing life with those around you.  Open up to the gifts that are available to you.  Never waste an opportunity.

TRANSITING SATURN CONJUNCT NATAL SATURN

In astrological terms, a conjunction of Transiting Saturn to Natal Saturn happens around the 29^th, the 58^th and the 87^th birthdays.  Any of these Saturn conjunctions to its natal positioning is known as the Saturn Return. 

The house position of Saturn in the natal chart describes the area of life that is emphasized during this aspect and the sign position (currently Capricorn, January 2018) describes what some of the characteristics might be.  Any natal aspects to this position will also have an influence on what takes place and how the energies unfold.  The influence of the conjunction can take as much as one year to complete as sometimes Saturn will go into retrograde and pass over the same degree again (within 8 degrees approaching and 5 degrees separating) before it completes its cycle.

If Saturn is challenged in the natal chart (squares, oppositions, and many conjunctions and to a lesser degree semi-squares, quincunxes and Sesquiquadrates) this period can be quite difficult.  Many do find that the first return of Saturn to its natal positioning in particular to be quite difficult.  Saturn does have a reputation for making things challenging and seems to test our resilience but also rewards us for hard and diligent efforts.

The conjunction of transiting Saturn to its natal positioning is often a pivotal time in our life’s journey.  It often a very important time and herald’s life changes like never before (especially with the first return of Saturn).  Quite often the time leading up to this return cycle can be tumultuous but much depends on how you have been living your life up to this point.  This is often a time of great change and often our view on life significantly alters because of life’s circumstances that seem to be out of our control. 

At this time (January 2018) transiting Uranus is squaring this position and pushing for change in rather dynamic ways.  If you are experiencing this aspect after January, 2018, you may not feel so impacted by life events that are out of your hands, because Uranus will be out of the orb of influence.

Quite often people speak of changes in relationships and changes within the working environment.  Some move out of the parental home (usually at the first return at 29 yrs old) and take up residence somewhere else.  Others buy their first home or sell their house and move into another house.  Some finish their schooling (although many go through this process around the age 21-22 when the last square of Transiting Saturn to its natal position is in force).  One thing is for certain, the person you were and the life you were living prior to your Saturn Return will be significantly changed over the course of a year or two.  What you are looking for in life will have changed too but in a positive manner.  You are now setting yourself up for the future as this seems important at this time in your life.

Things in life that warrant change are subject to great scrutiny, and your evaluation of these conditions is actually what creates this change of direction.  You may feel that you are somehow at the mercy of life right now, but in reality, the changes that are now beginning to settle or have just begun are a requirement in life as a shift is required.  It is best to move forward with some anticipation but also to prune away anything in your life that has become dormant and/or no longer serves a real purpose.  This could be particularly true in areas related to your occupation and goals in life as Saturn is currently in Capricorn.
