TURNING A BLIND EYE

We recently wrote a post on the presentation of world and local conditions by the media and how it sells ratings.  It was suggested by one individual that to see the world in a positive light can be considered to be “hiding our head in the sand”. 

We referred to world conditions and our intent was and never is to avoid truth.  Our world can appear to be teetering on a course of destruction at times.  We ARE required to do our part to make our worldly home a safe and health place to live.  Our intention was and always is to provoke food for thought and the realization that our actions and belief structure influence our internal world as well as our external world.

Our thoughts and intentions…….our beliefs and expectations mold our environment; they mold our world. 

If we choose to focus our attention on negativity and on each of the challenging conditions of our world, this is what we will see and this will be all that we know of our world.  We draw more of the same into our lives.  If we recognize our thoughts as generating factors that eventually build our life, we have to acknowledge that our focus becomes extremely relevant to our life’s conditions and eventually evolving externally into our surroundings.

It is therefore suggested that rather than focus on the negativity in each life situations, we instead turn our attention to the wonder and love that also surrounds us. 

It is our intention to help others realize that what they focus on gradually manifests into what they live.  If we lose our job, it may or may not be a direct result of our actions, but how we deal with this event is completely up to us.  This we have complete control over.  We can sit and mope and focus on the “why me” or we can take the opportunity to move forward in a new direction and empower ourselves by learning something new or “hit the bricks” to finding that new job.  When one door closes, another door opens, if we BELIEVE this to be true. 

Which focus will have the better outcome?

We are not turning a blind eye.  We do not ignore what happens in our world but we choose to focus on the beauty, the hope, the love, etc. that IS our world.  The more we can focus on these, the more of these we will find. 

THIS is what I want to pass on to our future generations.  What better way is there to teach future generations?  Should we not be the example for this?

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT NATAL DESCENDANT

Transiting Uranus conjunct the natal DC (Descendant) is similar in its energies as Uranus transiting your Ascendant (rising sign).  The main difference between the two transits, although both will affect relationships, is that the transit to the Descendant speaks primarily of your relationship with your spouse, marriage partner whereas the Ascendant is relationships in general. 

Uranus will create changes and a wish to break free of any restrictions that are part of this relationship.  This pushes you to start something new and to feel free again.  This does not necessarily mean that the relationship has to end but that significant changes will need to occur in order for the relationship to carry forward and flourish.

Anything that feels restrictive will be subject to change, so this could include your communication if for example natal Uranus is in the third house, or perhaps loosening up restrictions when it comes to sexual expression if natal Uranus is in the eighth house.  When natal Uranus is in the eighth house this could include joint finances.  If the second house is highlighted, financial concerns involving personal commitments and security beyond the realm of finances could be highlighted.  Much will depend on where your Uranus is located natally in the birth chart.  Its location will add to an understanding of what might require this change and is calling for freedom.

The seventh house also deals with partnerships and often business partnerships, so there could be concerns in this area of life.  If, for example, your natal Uranus is in the tenth house this could include business associates or what you do for a living.  If in the sixth, this could include those that you work with but not necessarily those in positions of authority, as this is much more evident when Natal Uranus is in the tenth house.

Sometimes there are legal problems or legal documentation that needs dealing with.  Sometimes open enemies come to the surface when transiting Uranus moves into the seventh house and conjuncts the DC.  The most powerful position is always when any planet first enters into a house.  The cusp is always very significant and planetary energies are released when they first enter into a new house.  If a planet goes retrograde and then in its retrograde motion goes over the same degree, you will have heightened activity each time it passes over the cusp of the house.

Uranus wants to rebel and when it meets up with the DC it will often speak of relationship problems as mentioned particularly the marriage partner.  Uranus does not always follow traditional rules and its actions are often unanticipated, sometimes even drastic in behaviour.  You can generally expect the unexpected when Uranus sits on the cusp of any house in the astrology chart.  It is the tradition breaker.  Its energies desire liberation and complete freedom of expression. 

Although the energies of Uranus is often rather abrupt, its action is known to awaken responses and pushes you in new and often exciting directions, although they may not feel overly comfortable in the beginning.  These changes, however, have been put in place because change is a requirement of the soul and once things settle which may take as long as 2 years, you will begin to understand why things happened the way they did.  You will often get little hints along the way before it actually sits directly on your DC to make changes.   If you do not take action when nudged to, its energies can be much more evident and sometimes quite disruptive.  This will only happen once in your life unless it is natally close to the seventh house cusp, as it takes 84 years to make a complete revolution through the zodiac.

TRANSITING URANUS TRINE NATAL SATURN

Although currently (February 2018) transiting Uranus is in its late degrees of Aries and is squaring transiting Saturn in Capricorn, by June, 2018, Uranus will trine Saturn when it moves into Taurus.  Those that have their natal Saturn in the late degrees of Sagittarius will be experiencing this trine now.

The energies of Uranus (co-ruler of Aquarius, along with Saturn) push for change.  If it is necessary for its energies to disrupt the normal flow of things, then this is the path it will follow.  Uranus, however, does not stir up the need for change simply because it is seeking something new.  It pushes for change because that specific area of life that needs change has become stagnant and is due for a “shakeup”.

Uranus’ action can be quite disruptive and often suggests radical change in an unexpected manner.  Uranus is known as the awakener and pushes beyond the confines often suggested by Saturn.  You can expect the unexpected when it comes to Uranus.  Saturn on the other hand wishes everything to remain the same.  It always wants the tried, tested and true in anything.  It enjoys routine and those things that have been in place for some time.  Saturn resists even when the energies at hand suggest change is needed.   Saturn insists on keeping things as they are. 

As you can imagine these two powerful planets do not blend well together.  Saturn restricts any form of change and Uranus resists any form of conformity.  Saturn likes things as they are and Uranus knows it is time for change and sometimes radical change is what is required to stir us out of complacency.

Although Saturn, almost regardless of aspect, has its challenges, the trine from Uranus is a bit less restrictive.  You may have to go through a careful set of standards to make sure that the change that is being brought to the surface will not be applied until we can ensure that safety precautions are in place.  Saturn demands that we take the time to think things out before moving ahead and a plan should be clearly in place to ensure that your objectives will work.  There can be fear associated with this combination.

Uranus’ energies want you to wake up and change directions so that the “new” that awaits us has the potential for growth.  Saturn wants us to be disciplined in our actions and puts limitations on what we pursue, just for safety sake.  If life has been limiting in any way, this will be when Uranus pushes for freedom and says it is time to learn new ways to help our evolution as individuals.

Saturn is often tied to material advancement, whether this be in work related ways or reaching your objectives.  Uranus can point you in the right direction and will not stand in the way of progress, but will stand in the way of stagnation.  This may be a time of finding new and exciting ways of doing things.  The door opens for inspiration to find the perfect equation for growth and in opening the door, advancement is quite possible.

OUR ENERGY/LIGHT

Do you recognize and enjoy the oneness with all? 

We are all part of the whole and the whole is one and indivisible.  Although we feel separate from others and consider ourselves to be our own person, we jell together as one and our energies are all interconnected.  What we feel and do affects every “energetic” thing that is.  What a responsibility.

We each walk a slightly different material and lesson path.  Some individuals seem light years off our personal course yet everything that we experience is shared with the masses.  When we attack others, we attach everyone, including ourselves.  When we love, we share this love with all things. 

Many believe that their influence is insignificant; however, this is not the case.  As mentioned, our energy affects all other energy.  How does it feel when you walk into a room and two people have been arguing but they are silent when you entered that room?  We have all heard it said, “You could cut the air with a knife” but how can you feel this if you are not affected by these two individual’s energy?  On the other side of the coin, how can the energy within a room immediately skyrocket when one individual enters it?  You can feel the energy level rise with some people when they join us.  These are simple examples of how one individual’s energy can affect us.  We also affect those that we do not come in contact with.  Our personal energy moves beyond the confines of the body and mind.

We have come to this material existence to live our lives and share our experiences with others.  We have come in physical form to experience the physical.  Our spiritual self (energetic state) is always evolving and expanding which is not visible on the earthly plain yet in reality there are no boundaries.

Do not get overly hung up on mistakes along the way, as we are only attached by a thread to the physical.  To err is human.  Be honoured to be a part of this expression and live your part by being who you truly are.

We have expanded to evolve and understand and yet we are striving to move beyond this physical state to return to our true energy state.  We are one with all energy, one with love, one with Source.

LUNAR ECLIPSE JANUARY 31, 2018

A blue moon is the second Full Moon experienced within a single calendar month.  From the expression “Once in a blue moon”, it is obvious that it does not occur very frequently.  It actually happens once in every 2.7 years.  This morning, January 31, 2018, was the peak of the full Leo Moon.

With this blue moon, we also experienced a Lunar Eclipse.  The Leo Full Moon was at 11 degrees 37 minutes.  Lunar Eclipses are powerful energies and force us to pay attention to the areas of life that are being highlighted through the energies of the house it is found in within our personal Astrology chart.  Eclipse’s energies are asking for change and its apparent path often can cause our emotions to flair. 

The Moon in Leo is rather dynamic in its expression and may push us to be more outspoken than normal and somewhat fearless especially when connected to family and relationships of significance.  We may find it hard to keep our mouths shut when facing adversity.  We can be somewhat outspoken when it comes to expressing our attitude towards those that may need our help or advice. 

We may have a tough love approach although because of the close conjunction with Ceres, there is a strong need to nurture and take care of anyone that needs our help.  The Moon and Ceres are similar in these energies, and Leo may be a little too controlling although anything offered by Leo this will come from the heart.

As this is a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are in opposition to each other.  At times there can be a challenge between what we do in our working environment and how we balance and provide nurturing within the framework of our family.  There is a pull in both directions and often one lacks because of the focus we have on the other.  We will want to do our best within both areas of life, but one demands more of our time although both need our attention. 

This is also the time to harvest what we sowed during the New Moon in Leo some 6 months ago.  If we began a project or focus under the influence of the Leo New Moon, this may be the time when we review our “garden’s growth” from that planting period and finalize the harvest.  Alternatively, if we have fallen short in nurturing the plants of our plans, now may be the time to either tend your goals needs or till the soil and start over.  Sometimes we just need to cut our losses and walk away.

Eclipses can be known as the bearer of news of importance.  This can touch many areas of life.  Again, as mentioned, we need to look at the house the eclipse occurs in within our personal Astrology chart.  If it is transiting the 7^th or 5^th house it would speak in terms of relationships, in the 6^th or 10^th house in terms of work, the home, and family if in the 4^th ,  health if in the 6 or 12 or if connection to our ascendant (rising sign).  If in the sixth, it may also speak of dedication to service, pets, health and hygiene.  If it is the twelfth, it may also speak of places of confinement such as hospitals, jails and hidden matters as well as mystical unfolding.  The finances may be affected if the 2^nd or 8^th houses are involved.  One thing is for sure, the energies of an eclipse are to push us towards our goals and often create a turning point in our lives.

A further effect on these energies would come from other planets within orb (up to 5 degrees) aspecting this position.  You can expect challenging conditions if Mars, Saturn and sometimes Uranus and Pluto are involved.  You can expect things to work in your favour if the Sun, Jupiter and Venus are aspecting this placement.  Remember these planets and important angles (Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven and Imum Coeli) are natal positions and not transits, although transit can also have an effect.  The transits can have an effect but it must be linked to the natal potential before their influence has much affect.

Enjoy the energies!

EMOTIONAL DISRUPTION

Sometimes the best laid plans will go awry and because we do not always travel the path we prefer, we allow our reactions to be emotionally intense. This allowance can be tough on us and if we continue to battle back, we feel as though they will never end. This feeling and thought structure can leave us quite depleted and without direction. This is a temporary state of affairs, however, and will also pass if we allow ourselves to let go and change our attitude. 

Nothing remains the same in life. Shifts of consciousness and shifts in circumstance often run hand in hand.

Sometimes we have to let go of where we have been and take new paths that can be quite foreign to us. This can be frightening but at the same time very exciting. 

Take the bull by the horns and move forward. Sometimes we need a little push from life or from others and other times we take those first steps on our own. The latter choice is usually the easiest in the long run. It is usually best not to wait for others to push us to make change. 

Each one of us has the capabilities to move ahead, but need to recognize this fact and to face our fears. We may feel at the mercy of life, but this is just a belief. 

Emotional disruptions more often than not signify the need for change, and we must allow ourselves that freedom to grow and expand. No place of disruption is okay. We do not have to stay within any type of energy of confinement or with an energy that feels anything less than fulfilling. 

Do not wait for life to dictate that change must take place. It is usually much more pleasant and less disruptive if we take those steps ourselves. 

This IS your life! Live it to the best of your abilities. Never sell yourself short.
