PSYCHIC POTENTIAL UNLEASHED THROUGH THE NATAL CHART

We are repeatedly asked if there is any links found in the birth chart indicating potential for psychic abilities as well as indicators of intuition.

It is believed by this Astrologer that all people have the potential to unlock psychic abilities but it is imperative to believe that these are talents dormant within.  The birth chart does, however, indicate those individuals that may be able to access these abilities easier than most.

The following traits are normally found in birth chart of those with developed psychic abilities or potential.  We have also found that those not blessed with the following traits in their natal chart may have indicators through the progression of the planets at some point in their lives.  Remember, however, the birth chart is a lifelong blue print of your journey, forever unfolding.  You can overcome any challenging aspect found within the natal chart by promote positive energies into your life through your focus and by utilizing the energies and trends offered during specific times in your life through such as transits and progressions.

It is more common for women to have more psychic characteristics than men.  This is due to the fact that in order to bring these abilities to the surface, we have to utilize our instincts and sensitivities.  Most women have through their nurturing nature developed these traits early in life.  This is not to say that men do not have these qualities, as today’s men are learning to develop their compassionate and sensitive side.  As a result, we are seeing more men enjoy their psychic abilities.

Quite often people with Grand Water Trines have psychic or intuitive abilities as their sensitivities are often not hindered.  Many people with a strong element of water in their charts, particularly Pisces and Scorpio, have links to psychic potential.  Sometimes those with the signs Aquarius and Sagittarius and the planets Uranus and Jupiter strongly aspected especially by Neptune, the Sun or the Moon in their charts have these qualities.  Strong planetary links to the water houses (4, 8, 12) have the same potentials.

Ties to Neptune especially with Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, the Sun and the Moon often produce these qualities.  Pluto and Neptune in close sextile also often points in this direction.  Those with a North or South Node connected to Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer have these abilities.  The North Node suggests talents that have yet to develop but will be pushed to the surface in this life, while the South Node suggests that these psychic potentials were cultivated in a past life and are carried forward and usable in this life.

Saturn to Neptune may steady the psychic abilities and keep the individual grounded.  Alternatively, it may suggest a hindrance or blockages in developing this potential.

Rising signs often carry potential for psychic abilities especially Pisces or close ties to Neptune of a positive sort (sextile, trine or perhaps the conjunction) to the Ascendant (Rising Sign).  Cancer rising can also suggest psychic abilities, often suggesting strong mothering instincts and a nurturing personality.  The same potential exists with Scorpio rising (although the mothering is not as innate as those with Cancer) and those individuals having a strong tie to the planet Pluto.  As a result, they must watch for wanting to dominate this God-given talent, which will create blockages.

As you can see, there are many links associated with the easy flow of psychic potential and intuition.  The more these characteristics are found in your birth chart, the stronger the potential for easy development.  The greatest enemy to building psychic abilities is fear or those that seek power and dominance through their potential.

This potential is a gift that should be used for the greater good.

Have a look at your chart and see what lies dormant and is waiting to unfold.  There is always potential.  Will you utilize yours?

LUCK AND GOOD FORTUNE

How do we measure luck? 

We have heard that “luck” is good fortune.  How then do we attract good fortune? 

What is your definition luck and what is your thinking on attracting luck?

Let’s stop for a minute and have a look at ourselves without judgement, if possible. 

Are you considered elderly by today standards?  If you are then you can say you have lived a long life and this could be considered luck, good fortune…..a blessing. 

Are you middle aged or young?  Have you met some of your expectations or scratched items off your bucket list?  Make sure you truly review your life.....accomplishments, things you have learned and built on, actions that made you feel fulfilled or good inside.   

Have you reviewed your life in this manner before?  Perhaps you took much for granted.  Perhaps you accepted your life achievement without due recognition.  After this quick review, take a second look.  Now with this second look what would you consider your accomplishments?

Do not forget you job or occupation, regardless of how you categorizing it by monetary gain or standard.  How different would life be if you did not have this job?  What is you were unemployed and without income? 

Do you have family and friends?  These are people you share your life with.  Some of these individuals you will enjoy their company and others may not be that enjoyable but they bring valuable lessons to the table.  How fortunate are we to have these people in our lives?

Do you enjoy good health?  Even if you do not, has your life been good to this point?  If you suffer from ailments or disease, what have these issues brought to the table for you?  What valuable lessons are being learned through your less than perfect health? 

Are you living in comfortable surroundings?  Do you own a car?  Are you able to buy clothing so you feel comfortable with your appearance, warm or comfortable physically?  Do you have your own shoes or boots?  Can you take a shower with fresh running water?  Have you eaten lately?  Do you have occasion to go out for dinner?  Can you cook and do you have the resources to do so?

Each and every one of these is a blessing that so many of us in the developed world take for granted. 

Can you process thoughts rationally?  Can you communicate?  Can you meditate?  Do you acknowledge the miracles and magic that happen each and every day in life? 

Ours lives are filled with blessings.  Perhaps it is time to recognize our lives for what they are rather than complain about  what we feel is missing.

 

We live in a beautiful world, surrounded by scenery and events that should fill us with wonder and awe.  We have clean water, food to eat and a place to call home.  We share our lives with family and friends who support us and we in turn support them.  What a blessings.  How fortunate we are!

What mysteries lie ahead and what wonders will we uncover.  Take a moment to be grateful and to recognize just how fortunate you are.

TRANSITING URANUS OPPOSITION NATAL SATURN

These two planets are opposing forces in many ways.  Saturn represents discipline, stability, structure and gradual movement towards a goal.  It does not like change or any kind of disruption and is quite willing to wait for things to settle before moving forward.  Saturn’s energies are reliable, secure and offers rewards for perseverance and hard work. 

Uranus, on the other hand, represents the need for change, disruptive energies which often initiate change, freedom seeking once again through the agent of change and seeking the new because the old outdated ways no longer serve a viable purpose.  As you can see these planets oppose each other and their energies are quite different. 

In opposition, which often suggests that the energies in place stem from outside sources (often from the actions of others), we will find that Uranus will uproot what once was a stable and secure situation in life.  Often, if intimate relationships are part of the equation, people will separate, new relationships are formed and changes in the most secure relationships take place.  If the relationship no longer satisfies the need for more space or more freedom of expression, changes will take place.  If someone new and exciting comes into the picture, people may leave what was once a comfortable and satisfying relationship.  Sometimes the feeling that a change must take place could have been felt for some time and this aspect will create an event to take place that will force the change.  Sometimes it is someone else that instigates the change or some other outside influence.  One thing that is frequently associated with this placement is that longevity is not a common factor (when it comes to any new relationships).

If this aspect somehow involves the workplace or occupation, changes often take place in these areas.  Uranus’ action is often sudden and unexpected, and people will leave places where they have been employed for many years in search for something more in line with what they want or what they need.  One thing is almost certain, the changes that take place are often seen as drastic with little forethought and the behaviours can be rash.  These changes are, however, often put in place because a change of direction needs to take place and as one settles into whatever area of life goes through this process, they will come to realize the reasoning behind what took place, although this could take up to a year to be realized.

As transiting Uranus will be moving into the sign of Taurus in 2018, your Saturn will be in Scorpio for this opposition to take place.  You will probably be feeling the pull for something new or for change in your life up to 5 degrees approaching and it will take up to 2-3 degrees once it is past the degree of your Saturn before it is finally settling in. 

Check you chart to see which houses transiting Uranus is moving through when this aspect takes place.  Check which house your natal Saturn is located in.  Also have a look at the condition of Saturn in your natal chart, as well as the house that natal Uranus is in to get a clearer picture of what areas of life are involved and how the energies might play out.

SUN IN PISCES - FEBRUARY 19, 2018

The Sun moved into the sign of Pisces on February 19, 2018.  Venus and Mercury as well as Neptune were all in Pisces.  As you can imagine this is a powerful time for those with their Sun in Pisces.  Pisces is a gentle, passive and compassionate sign and unless there are other factors within the birth chart, these qualities will reign true for most Piscean individuals.  Pisces is a dreamy sign, with one foot in the mystical existence and the other foot gently on the earthly plain.  It is important for those with strong Pisces tendencies to have both feet firmly planted as we are currently living a physical life with spiritual lessons.  The spiritual realm often comes natural for many Piscean individuals.

Perhaps the reason some of these individuals have a real problem with aggressive life experiences may be due to their tendency to try to avoid the challenges life sometimes dictates.  As a result, some may have problems with alcohol and drugs to blur harsh realities.  It is, however, important to face adversity and deal with it accordingly, or the root issues never really goes away.  Running only allows one challenge to build on top of another.

Pisces people are often psychically gifted.  These energies can be overwhelming at times and may not be what these individuals are truly looking for.  They just want peace and tranquility and perhaps if so inclined be able to harness these psychic energies.  In most cases, the mystical side of life does hold their interest and they are known for their recollection of vivid dreams and their ability to somehow know what others are feeling.  This is a “feeling” sign and much of how they relate to the world comes from their emotional senses.

Some Pisces people can be gifted or inspired in the arts.  This could include painting, music, literary creations .....all artistically inspired works.  This will be particularly true if the Sun or any other planet(s) are found in the 5^th house.  There can be a creative edge with these people.  Even those with Neptune in the first house close to the Ascendant often have mystical qualities or artistic abilities. 

If you find yourself somewhat mystified because of a close love acquaintance at this time, this could be because of Venus and Neptune moving together and joining forces later in February of 2018.  You as a Pisces, might feel that you are drawn to this individual and that this love feels to be idealistic.  You may place your lover high on a pedestal under this influence and might not be seeing all the little flaws until the air clears or the fog lifts. 

You may feel inspired to write about this experience or just to write about the mysteries of life.  This might be a good idea because Mercury’s link to Neptune and your Sun in the later stages of February and into March, 2018.  Make sure you keep copies of what you write as they are probably inspired by higher sources and might provide magical insight to be used personally at a later date. 

This year will have its mystical flavour as the Sun and Neptune will be in conjunction depending on what degree your Sun is.  Enjoy this energy.  It is an aw-inspiring time for any water sign and especially those with their Sun in Pisces.

SOLAR ECLIPSE FEBRUARY 15/2018

We are focusing on the energies of the solar eclipse we will experience on Thursday, February 15, 2018 at 3:51 p.m. EST (It will not be visible to us, however). 

Solar eclipses will often herald the timing of new events following the ending of situations that no longer serve a real purpose in our lives.  With the energies of the solar eclipse, there is a signalling of a time to move forward and shed ourselves of baggage to bring about a turning point. 

What we leave behind under this influence usually never returns.  It is the finality of something specific (identified often by the house position of the Eclipse in your personal chart).  These changes or endings come to the forefront in unusual ways and can be often surprising in nature....unexpected shall we say.  We will, however, receive hints of this approach before the actual timing of the eclipse.

As mentioned, the change is often irreversible.  The changes can either happen quickly or occur over a period of months.  Visible change often takes place within a few weeks of the actual eclipse itself.  If you find that nothing of significance happens under this influence, check with your family or close friends.  It should also be noted that unless the eclipse happens within seven degrees of a planet in your birth chart, the energies may not be that noticeable.

If the eclipse falls in the same element as your Sun sign (water, earth, air or fire) and is within the seven degree orb of influence, it is usually quite favourable and things seem to go your way.  This will be of benefit to you, often in quick order (especially because transiting Uranus is sextile this positioning under the current influence we are focused on). 

Eclipse’s energies are much stronger than normal energies of the New or Full Moons.  The energies, however, can sometimes be disruptive yet the outcome over time is always favourable even if it does not appear this way initially.  Change is often a requirement and there are times when we hide our head in the sand and refuse to move ourselves in directions that would be helpful.  Do not dig in your heals.

Sometimes these changes seem random and if you pay attention to events and signals leading up to the eclipse, you may find indicators as to what might happen.  If the eclipse allows you to proceed and lead the way, it is best to wait a few weeks or longer before making important decisions that will affect you in personal ways, or affect others in personal ways. 

Mercury will be conjunct the upcoming eclipse on February 15, 2018, and its energies will assist in the mental processing of the conditions influenced by the eclipse.  The message being brought forward often takes place one month prior and about one week after the eclipse. 

Have a look at transiting Mars and when it is in same degree of the eclipse (27 degrees Aquarius), it often instigates activity.  Transiting Saturn also plays a part in the process, although in this specific instance, it will not be within orb over the whole period of this solar eclipse influence.  Saturn usually suggests some karmic influence with the situation and its lessons are quite profound as long as you do not fight the process.

Make sure you look into the house affected by this Solar Eclipse as well as the opposite house as this axis will become activated.  Have a look in your natal chart as well as your solar chart to establish which areas of life are being activated, as well. 

If this Solar Eclipse follows your birthday (the first eclipse of your solar return chart) it will be very significant to the upcoming year.  Remember the closer it is in degree to the Sun or any other planet or angle within your chart, the more impact it will have in your life.

Many people fear eclipses and sometimes rightfully so as the changes that take place can be profound, but respect would be a better terminology than fear as the changes that take place although often profound are necessary for our evolutional growth and will be quite helpful over time.

URANUS

Uranus is the planet of revolution and often sudden and drastic change.  It can cause havoc in people’s lives when in transit.  It is the ruler of Aquarius, the water barer, and is commonly known as the awakener.  Uranus’ influence will function as a huge factor in making necessary changes to your life.  Uranus makes changes in areas of life that have outgrown their purpose and require alteration.  Uranus insists on liberation from anything that could be considered traditional or restrictive in nature.  It creates a desire for the new and unique and often produces this in unexpected and in unconventional ways.

Uranus moves through each sign in approximately 7 years and takes a full 84 years to circle the full Zodiac.  During its movement, it creates quick results and a feeling of liberation and freedom from restrictions.  It governs universal brotherhood and is humanitarian in its nature.  Uranus’ energy will force you to have an honest look at life’s issues and then make all necessary changes.  If you choose not to adhere to what is being proposed, it often acts in a much more abrupt manner and in ways that are out of your control.

Uranus is rebellious in its nature and pushes you forward with a need for independent thinking and a flair for the unconventional and unique.  Uranus also has been known to produce shocking awakenings when your eyes have been closed to what is now required.  It governs universal truths and intuition. 

Anyone with strong Uranus tendencies has a unique way of translating these truths, quite often in an abrupt, matter-of-fact fashion.

Uranus’ action is unpredictable, imaginative and very inspirational.  It is the higher octave of Mercury and therefore is considered a planet linked to your mental processing.  It deals a lot with potential outcomes and is future oriented.  Uranus pushes you to come out into the open and express your uniqueness and creativity.  It is linked with advanced mental quickness and agility, similar to Mercury, although the thinking process may be considered bohemian in its nature.

Uranus rules electricity and anything electronic, such as computers and technology at its newest levels.  Uranus is anything but conventional and depending where it is found in your chart, will indicate where you choose to reveal your originality and uniqueness. 

If, for example, you have Uranus closely linked to the Ascendant in the first house, your originality will shine through.  Many would consider you a bit of an eccentric and you would not be ashamed of this flair as it helps you stand apart from the crowd.  Uranus will push you to be different and also to be proud of your uniqueness.
