TRUST YOUR INTUITION

There are many ways to determine whether or not your gut instinct is telling you facts or fiction.  The best route, and most reliable for that matter, is to align with your intuition.  We all have natural intuitional ability, and this can be quite reliable if we learn to listen to it clearly with faith and clarity.  Our mind’s interpretation is what can muddle the message.  Intuition is a wonderful tool to use when we are confused and need to make a reliable decision.  Sometimes we can be troubled and stressed making some decision.  This is when our intuitive guidance can provide us with the right answers and assist us in formulating the perfect plan.

Your intuition is always available to guide you; although it is good to question and analyse as this builds our confidence in this tool.  People have used their intuition over their mental abilities resulting in choices that have had profound effects on life’s direction.  We instinctively know what is right and move in that direction without hesitation once we allow intuition to lead us on a particular path.

Sometimes we can get so caught up in a situation and we cannot, for the life of us, make a decision based on mental processing.  We are worried that our decision may be wrong.  It is amazing how we, as humans, become complacent and find ways to adapt to life situations even when everything tells us to make a change or move in a different direction.  Change is uncomfortable and fear often stands in our way.  We naturally fear the unknown and prefer hardship because it is known and understood even though it is uncomfortable. 

It is important to find ways to learn to trust the voice within and allow this inner knowing to guide us through life’s journey.  Have faith in the process; however we are not suggesting that you jump into something with some form of contemplation and due diligence.  We have a thinking mind for a reason.

Sometimes the path ahead looks murky and we are afraid of where it will lead us, but part of us knows that moving forward is the right thing to do.

Sometime when we do make that final commitment, the change itself can be wearisome and challenging but over time, life settles and you will see the rewards of your actions. 

Sometimes it is important to put ourselves first and to take that leap of faith.  If you have spent a lot of time trying to find a solution to a problem and there just does not seem to be a solution, let life take the lead and follow your intuition and allow.

THE KITE FORMATION

The Kite formation is considered a major aspect configuration in an Astrology chart.  It includes a Grand Trine and an opposition from one of the points of the grand trine.  At the same time, the opposition, which is not part of the Grand Trine, also makes aspects to two parts of the Grand Trine.  This looks like a kite; hence the name. 

For example, let’s say that you have a Grand Trine between Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Scorpio and the Sun is in Pisces all within a ten degree orb forming a Grand Water Trine.  Mercury is in opposition to Saturn which is in Capricorn and Saturn forms a sextile to both Venus and the Sun. 

The focal planet becomes Saturn as it brings tension into the equation with its opposition to the Sun.  This can generate activity and a push which might not otherwise be present due to the high degree of contentment found in the Grand Trine.  This opposition challenges the Grand trine, in particular the Sun which Saturn opposes; however, at the same time, Saturn is also in sextile to Mercury and Venus which softens Saturn’s influence and adds opportunity to rectify a situation presented by the opposition.

Often times the Grand Trine is so easy that people refuse to push themselves to develop the talents indicated by the houses and element involved in the Grand Trine.  The opposition will create challenges and opposing factors which can motivate the individual into action.  The sextiles imply opportunities to help resolve the problem at hand and provide the push to an otherwise comfortable situation. 

This is considered a very favourable configuration, better than the Grand Trine which does provide opportunities and favourable outcomes, but it can lack the driving force to push ahead and develop talents accentuated by the planets and element. 

The main notable problem stems from the fact that there are actually three different aspects involved in the configuration (Trine, Sextile and Opposition).  This can lead to people committing themselves to resolving this problem and allowing other challenges found within the natal chart to slide by the wayside.  Too much concentration on any one area of the chart could be considered compulsive and even generate an obsessed focus.  It is always suggested that we work on one problem at a time and find a resolution before beginning with something else, but the individual with a Kite formation strongly emphasized in the chart may spend all their time fixated on this one problem. 

It general, however, this is considered a very good aspect configuration and provides the trigger to push through any adverse conditions presented by the opposition.

JUDGEMENT

How many of us judge others and how they live?

Our view of others is tightly intertwined with our personal view of self and more often than not mirrors our own self image. 

On the flip side, we should not allow ourselves to be affects by others opinions and judgements.  Someone else’s opinion says much about them and little about you.  They recognize or exaggerate a specific quality in you and because of a lack of self-reflection, do not see this consciously within themselves.  Our subconscious is seldom fooled however.

We unfortunately can be blind to our own habits and reactions and it is helpful when others share their observations.  We just have to keep our ego under control.  Honest self reflection can help us recognize our “shortcomings” and with recognition comes solution.  Another good method to recognize characteristics within ourselves that we may be blind to is to pay attention to those things that bother us about others.  This can be an excellent personal monitor to assist in self reflection.

What others think is their issue.  Our own personal opinion of our self is truly important.  Because of this, make sure that you are seeing yourself clearly and not selling yourself short.

You do not have to please others, but you must be happy with who you are.  Take an honest look.  Do some self reflection.  Sometimes acknowledgment can be challenging but necessary.  Other times what we see can expand on our personal view of our expression in a very positive sense. 

It IS good to reflect and be sure to include all of the great qualities as well.  What we focus on expands.  Where does your focus lie? 

This also holds true for others.  When we look for fault in others, fault is all that we will see.  If we look for the greatness in others, than greatness we will see.  How can we judge unless we have walked in their shoes? 

Do not make career out of judging others.  You will never accomplish excellence.  Analysis on self and paying attention to our positive attributes ....these we can excel at.  Move away from negative reflection and allows contentment and happiness. 

Find your true expression and stop worrying about what others think!

MINI FORECAST FOR SUN IN GEMINI - (PART II)

On May, 23, 2018, our post covered the square between transiting Neptune for those with the Sun in Gemini.  Today we will touch on the quincunx between transiting Pluto and the natal Sun in Gemini.  

Transiting Pluto is in the sign of Capricorn and will be around the 20 degree mark for all of 2018.  Transiting Pluto forms a quincunx or inconjunct to those with their Sun in Pisces in or close to the 20 degree mark.  The closer to this degree, the stronger the energies of this aspect will be.

The quincunx aspect always speaks of the requirement of an adjustments, and linked with Pluto, this aspect suggests that it is time for a deep evaluation and for an innate unfolding to transpire during the next several months (for those with this aspect strong in their charts).  Pluto’s energy wants transformation through searching within and then bringing to the surface what is revealed and making the necessary changes to what this applies to.

The house placement of transiting Pluto, the house placement of your natal Sun as well as the placement of natal Pluto will help reveal the areas of life involved.  Transiting Pluto will automatically attempt to transform through regeneration and honest reflection as soon as it enters a house.  The strongest period is when it sits on the cusp or beginning of the house and this applies to everyone whether or not they have this aspect activated within their chart.  (For those with Pluto in quincunx to the natal Sun, the strongest impact will be when it is exactly 150 degree apart).  

Pluto will spend many years in an Astrology house due to its slow movement and will transform what needs to be changed as it moves through this area of life.  Its changes are often irreversible and very significant.  Once the change has taken place, what once was is no longer.  It can be destructive and extremely impacting and in most conditions is not subtle once it makes itself known.  It is best not to fight the energies at hand and make the necessary changes that are being suggested.  The more you fight the change, the harder this experience will be.  Change is inevitable. 

The Sun deals with life’s direction, personal identity and goals and objectives.  This will be the time when profound changes take place with these focuses.  You will be pointed in a direction and a path will be put in front of you.  You will need to make changes and alterations along the way so the path becomes clearer or more understandable.  These interactions can be quite profound and impacting and the directional change is put in place because a change needs to take place.  

Again, do not fight the process and see it as it is.  The square to Neptune, if applicable, may interfere with vision and clarity as discussed on May 23, 2018.

There are many paths that this energy can take to unfold. 

An astrology chart can give a clear understanding of what is at hand.

SELF EXPLORATION

Part of the awakening process deals with acknowledging qualities within and then bringing them to the surface so you can utilize or deal with them in whatever manner is appropriate.  Some of these realizations can be difficult and even painful, but an honest reflection is what is required.  Don’t let ego stand in the way of clear insight and do not identify personally with what is revealed.  You will examine these qualities and then decide what you want to do with them.  Identifying with them makes them yours. 

The process is to acknowledge what is revealed then set whatever it may be free.  These do not belong to you unless of course you choose to hang on to them.  It is quite apparent that even though these revelations can be challenging and it may feel as though we are slowing down the process, at least you are taking the steps to keep your journey moving in the right direction.  Many individuals will hold on to their revelations because they feel familiar and believe that these qualities are who they are.  It can be difficult to release something that has been with you and formed a part of who you think you are even if its ownership is counterproductive.

Hanging on to negative self-impressions only amplifies these qualities and give them life.  You always have a choice as to what you might want to do with them and it is often better to let them go than hang on to them if ego is involved. 

Ego feels threatened when it begins to lose control.  It is losing character traits that it identifies with and worries that it will be forgotten or even squashed as time passes.  As a result, it tried to hold on and its efforts can become quite intense.  Recognize ego for what it is and the challenges it can create.

Self-evaluation can be tricky if you don’t recognize ego’s intervention and you hold on to what used to be. 

Remember not to look outside for happiness or connection to your true, higher self.  These can only be found within and are available to everyone.

FULL MOON - MAY 29, 2018

We will be experiencing the Full Moon in Sagittarius at 8 degrees on May 29, 2018.  This moon is called the “Full Flower Moon”. 

The energies of any Full Moon speak of our harvesting of the seeds planted often some six months earlier when we experienced the New Moon in the same sign.  If we planted the seeds and nurture these seeds (goals) we should now be able to harvest the fruits of our labour.

Sagittarius often speaks of philosophical understandings, religious beliefs and spiritual undertakings.  On a more earthly level, it often speaks of travel, higher learning and an optimistic approach to what we set out to accomplish.  Our approach to educating ourselves, whether this be through travel, foreign culture, spiritual practices and mystical alignment, may now be brought to the surface and we can often gain insight into these matters.

Much will depend on the house the Full Moon is located in within your chart.  This will be the area of life presently being influenced by its energies.  If you have other planetary links within the framework of your natal chart close to the 8 degree mark which make major aspects to this positioning of the Moon, these planetary energies or angles will provide you with more information as to the types of experience you may encounter as you unravel the potential energies available.

When we look at the overall condition of this Full Moon (being at 8 degrees of Sagittarius), we see that it is making a trine to the transiting North Node.  The North Node speaks of life’s direction and the path we are to take and when conjoined with the Full Moon and in trine, the potential for finding our path or moving in the right direction is quite likely unless, of course, there are mitigating factors saying otherwise.  The North Node is the path we are meant to take and applying this transit in conjunction with other natal aspects will help you find your way and encourage you to follow your path.  The North Node is often a direction that feels new or untried so pushing forward may be a little unnerving, but with the influences at hand, this can be the time to forge ahead.  Just make sure you are not stepping on anyone else’s toes or hurting anyone while advancing to the next stage of your journey for this will be counterproductive in the larger scheme of things. 

At present there is also a Grand Water Trine involving Neptune, Venus and Jupiter offering emotional connectedness, psychic potential and emotional alignment. 

If this is a time for love in your life indicated by this Grand Trine especially with Venus involved, make sure you are seeing things clearly and not putting that person that is the focus of your affections on a pedestal and then expanding on what you think you are seeing.  This person may well be the perfect mate and the timing could also be highlighted but sometimes Neptune, although it is in positive aspect, may create fog around your perceptions.  Follow your intuition and psychic understanding and see where this takes you.  Often times Grand Water Trines can also speak of increased psychic awareness and intuitive understanding.

Let’s see what we can do with these energies and how far we have come with reaching our goals and following the path.  Make the best of the energies at hand and utilize  what you have. 

All the best with your pursuits.
