PROGRESSED JUPITER

Jupiter deals with fair play.  Its energies reflect moral and religious focuses.  Jupiter involves expansion, brings good luck and optimistic potentials.  It is the planet of growth in material terms as well as expansion when it comes to life circumstances and how you can relate to this from a positive perspective. 

When Jupiter makes positive aspects to other planets and points in the Zodiac, there are great opportunities for conditions to turn out favourably.

The house position occupied by progressed Jupiter tells the story of where you will find opportunities to gain knowledge. 

Jupiter also has to do with travel, courts of law and lawsuits.  In general, when Jupiter progresses through the chart, these or some of these areas of life may be highlighted, especially if Jupiter happens to be in the ninth house. 

Jupiter also governs publishing, higher education and learning through experience.

Each house cusp advances one degree per year through progression and Jupiter moves closer and closer until it finally moves into the next house in the progressed chart.  Jupiter moves slower than the progressed houses and it is important to notice where Jupiter is in the natal chart and the houses it moves through during progression.  These few houses (usually not more than three) will become areas of life that are affected by the progression of Jupiter in your personal chart.

You will also need to take into consideration any aspects that might come into play from the other progressed planets as well as transiting planets as they make contacts during Jupiter’s slow movement through your specific houses.

If Jupiter passes across your MC (Midheaven), the opportunities for growth in your professional life have great potential especially if Jupiter is well aspected. 

Look at the overall condition of Jupiter in your natal chart as this will determine how great the success will be.  A poorly aspected natal Jupiter does not promote in ways that a well aspected Jupiter does. 

If and when Jupiter passes over your MC, you may have opportunities for a promotion or may gain positive influence from people in higher positions.  Travel or relocation might be on the agenda during the year Jupiter sits directly on these angles.  I personally use an orb of 20 minutes for Jupiter as it approaches and 15 minutes when it separates for progression.

Progressed Jupiter on the ASC (ascendant) opens the door in very personal ways with less restrictions or obstacles for you on a personal level.  It might indicate a new relationship or expansion in the family.  Prosperity and good luck seem to find their way to you.  Since Jupiter has to do with law suits and legalities, when Jupiter is on the Ascendant or Midheaven, the potential for legal issues to go well are increased.

Jupiter on the DC (descendant) offers opportunities for marriage or opportunities to promote a new organization or affiliation with someone who can be of benefit to you in a business opportunity.

Jupiter on the IC suggests changes within the home or with family members usually on a positive note.  During this contact, it is a good time to buy real estate or your monetary values in these areas may increase. 

It is essential that you always take into consideration other transits and progression to review what they are indicating.  Also a reminder to review the overall condition of Jupiter is in the birth chart to get the indepth story.

THE NEED FOR PERSONAL SPACE YET CLOSENESS

The need for our own personal space and yet the need to be close is often a personal dilemma shared by many. 

We all need and want to be loved and appreciated.  We expand in the warmth of loved shared.  We also, however, need our own personal space and the ability to move in whatever direction we see fit. 

Many couples are confronted with this paradox. 

Are you being smothered in a tight and loving relationship?  Do you feel as though you are being cornered or contained because of this?  Or are you without a personal relationship and wish you were in one but at the same time like your freedom?

Being single or in an open relationship means that you can do what you want when you want without having answer to anyone but yourself.  This is preferred by some but offers insecurity and possibliy loneliness for others.

Being in a close personal relationship means sharing our lives with someone we love and never feeling alone.  However there will be days when we need our own space and the demands of our partner may be trying.

In a perfect world, we have a balance of both and it is achievable as long as there is give and take on both sides.  Finding someone who gives us space to live our life without obligations is pretty rare, yet if we truly love someone, we don’t mind giving up a little personal freedom in order to share.  Is true love not unconditional? 

It is essential that we are open and communication with our partner if we have chose to share this life with someone.   It is important to discuss our own personal needs, so that others know what we are experiencing.  Just as important, we should allow our partner to be open with us and respect what they need.  A partnership is equal give and take without keeping tabs. 

Spend a few minutes each day in quiet solitude even if only for a short walk, a quiet shower or a quiet meditation.  These little practices can provide personal space.  

On the other side of the coin, create special moments together such as a romantic dinner without the television or telephone interrupting.  Take a stroll through a park hand in hand. 

We can even take care of both needs….why not meditate together holding hands.  The mind has its personal space but the knowing of love can fill our heart. 

One thing is for certain, other people’s needs are important but so are our own; talk it out.

What do you do to satisfy your need for personal private time yet sharing your time lovingly with your partner/children/parents?

MERCURY CONJUNCT NEPTUNE IN THE BIRTH CHART

Mercury takes on its energies from whatever planet it touches.  It is linked to the mind and the thinking process.  When we find Mercury and Neptune tied together in the birth chart, we can automatically say that there will be a creative mind set.  This will be someone who is creative perhaps through visualization, perhaps through the written word and/or perhaps through the study of mysticism.

The mind is mystically oriented, possibly even in a religious tone, although it does not have to be religion in the traditional sense.  Neptune has a strong mystical quality to it and the imagination is inspired to learn more about what the other side looks like.  This person would most likely not be overly interested in mundane everyday activities.  There is likely a strong inclination towards understanding the unconscious and they may also be interested in dream interpretation and even magic.

This is a very creative combination and music, the arts (this can be a very wide spectrum) as well as anything that lies beneath the surface, particularly if this conjunction is found in water signs, especially Scorpio. 

The mind is very reflective and imaginative and if there are hard aspects to this configuration they could be subject to illusion and disarray.  The mind may have a tendency to not see things as they truly are, especially if there is a connection to Uranus or Pluto by hard aspect, particularly by the square. 

The house position will be very relevant in determining how this plays out as this will define what area of life is influenced.  There could be an elusive quality if this is found in the fifth house related to romantic involvement and anyone with this combination and house placement may tend to put their lover on a pedestal only to find out that they are not as they appear.  The mind, however, would be very creative as the imagination plays a big part in creativity.  One of their children may be seen as quite creative with an inspirational mind. 

If this positioning is found in the first house the creative potential is on a very personal basis and if this position is found to be in the sign of Scorpio, much may be kept private and only the subject individual may know about it. 

As you can imagine, there are many different variations by sign and house position and much can be ascertained by going deep into the natal chart to see how this might play out.  The natal chart is the road map and the route is exposed and generated through activity molded by transits and progressions.  The chart is activated through transits and progression and what is written in the natal chart will be released when activated.

Believe

As we live in the ever present moment (the here and now), we release yesterday and do not long for tomorrow.  We are open to the faith that all things will come to use as we need them.  We allow life to unfold.

You are transcendent by virtue. You will never cease to exist. You have available to you the vast stored knowledge of time itself. There are countless memories warehoused within, that lie dormant waiting for release--information generated to assist you with your voyage and support you in your times of need.

You are never alone! There are guides along the road that helps steer you towards your intended path, ever beckoning you towards your awakening to the truth. Just believe and the release of the true self begins. You are connected with the pure essence, with the whole.  Do not believe this, know it. Move forward holding hands with love, in reverence and respect for all living things.

Let the true journey begin and believe.

TRANSITING SATURN SQUARE NATAL MERCURY

When we are experiencing a square from transiting Saturn to natal Mercury, we can expect challenges with our pattern of thinking.  Much depends on the sign position of your natal Mercury but Saturn can push us towards depression, insecurities, stubbornness, delayed reactions and pessimism toward outcomes.

Mercury rules the mind and indicates the way in which we assimilate information. 

If, for example, we have Mercury in the sign of Capricorn, our mind is structured, leaning towards material or occupational concerns.  We may be focused on our ambitions and we may be slow to react due to our mind studying the material that is at hand.  We may lean towards careful planning, with a steadfast approach, rarely wavering in our belief structure.  Much will depend on how natal Mercury is aspected by other natal positions.

If there is a square from natal Saturn to our Mercury then we would weigh things out before plotting ahead.  We may be worried about outcomes, we may be pessimistic in our approach, and our first mental reaction to life events may be one of concern and doubt.  However, because the square always pushes us to find possible solutions to our problems, we may seek out ways of understanding our mind’s reaction and focus, and work on generating more positive approaches when dealing with life’s conditions.

The energies of transiting Saturn can be quite challenging to deal with.  It slows things down, sometimes to a standstill, puts up roadblocks to our objectives and seems to create difficulties to work through.  Saturn teaches us conservatism, patience and often suggests hard work and a disciplined approach is required.  Saturn is the teacher of the Zodiac and although it does challenge life’s conditions it also makes us have to work hard if we want to find resolutions to these conditions.  Saturn will make us persevere and builds endurance and eventual strength as we deal with any obstructions.

Because our topic is the transit of Saturn to natal Mercury, this specific aspect may lean towards pessimism towards reaching our goals. 

If we check our natal chart to see which house natal Mercury is in and also which house transiting Saturn is moving through, we will have a good idea of what areas of life would be involved.  If you work hard to achieve what you are trying to accomplish and do not take any shortcuts (and you can even ask someone in an authoritative position for any suggests), the chances are you will find a resolution or develop a plan to make some of your objectives reachable.  Hard work is almost always part of the process and if you give it your all and it still does not work out, at least you will find some satisfaction in knowing that you gave it your best.  You will have learned valuable lessons to move forward from there. 

If things work out then quite often after the fact things solidify and become more structured and may likely stand the test of time.

It would be wise to work diligently towards your objectives under this influence and to expect some shortcomings and potential delays, but you can accomplish much during this influence and the rewards will be of a higher quality if you do all that is required of you.

SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON DECEMBER 7, 2018

New Moons represent new beginnings.  There is a push to forge a new path or push forward on a path we have already started.  Today, December 7, 2018 we experience the New Moon at exactly 2:21 a.m. EST.

With the New Moon is found in Sagittarius, this energy could push to new beginnings that are linked to exploration and adventure.  This could speak in terms of travel, often to faraway places.  Perhaps those with this New Moon making aspect in their birth chart are making plans on travel or perhaps as the holidays fast approaching, the plans for family and friend get-togethers are taking shape.

This New Moon in Sagittarius is at 15 degrees and as a result any planets that you have at 15 degrees in your natal chart will be energized by the New Moon.  Look particularly at planets that are in major aspect, the most powerful of these being the conjunction (0 degrees separation [at the same 15 degrees Sagittarius}).  Secondly look to the houses where the New Moon as well as the other planet or angle the Moon is making aspect to, as this will be the areas of life involved.

New Moon in Sagittarius often points towards a very wide spectrum and a desire to look at life from a positive prospective.  Being optimistic is what this New Moon suggests, in particular with spirituality, religion and in general with your own life’s philosophies.  Due to Jupiter being the ruling planet of Sagittarius, growth and opportunities can play a big part in the flavour of the story being told by the energies of the aspect(s).  Often times, this will involve family and the home environment as well as personal goals you might be setting for yourself.

Sagittarius is a happy-go-lucky sign, which brings with it a general feeling of good fortune and advancement.  Much depends, however, upon what you are planning on doing with the energy.  Once again look into the houses relevant at this time to get a clearer picture of what area of life is involved.  Sagittarius, although usually a fortunate sign, is also being squared by Mars as well as Neptune.

Squares usually indicate some tension.  Mars, in particular, has to do with aggressive urges to push ahead and can create some difficulties as it suggests that we may be aggressively pursuing our objectives which may be under potential tumultuous conditions.  Perhaps there is some type of opposition to your plans under this influence, and you will have to work your way through these difficulties.  Mars can be quite aggressive in its pursuit, so you will have to watch for opposition against you or alternately you pushing too aggressively.  As a result, some people may not like your relentless pursuit and may push back against your efforts. 

One good thing about the energies of a square aspect is that they tend to make us work through adversity.  When faced with challenging conditions we learn to work through them and overcome whatever may be in place that holds us back.  These are always valuable lessons.

The square to Neptune can make our goals illusive or our perception cloudy when it comes to pursuing these objectives.  Neptune tends to colour the imagination and puts a vail of uncertainty on things.  Neptune’s energies sometimes indicate that we are putting the situation or person on a pedestal and making things larger than what is actually there.  Once again, review your chart to see where Mars and Neptune are found as the house they are located in your specific chart will provide you with more information. 

You will find a way of working through the square energies and it is best to utilize the energies of Jupiter and the placement of Sagittarius to help unravel what stands before you. 

There is a lot of positive energy associated with this New Moon’s location in the sign of Sagittarius.  Make the energies work with you, and don’t allow yourself to become dismayed by any challenge that comes your way. 

Plant the seeds in your garden of life for the time is ripe for these seeds to germinate.

ASSISTING THOSE IN NEED

It is most certainly important to be there when someone needs help.  To be with someone in their time of need is the best support we can offer, whether that support comes in the form of a helping hand, a calming influence, a shared experience or an ear for listening.  Sometimes a few calming words can move mountains and sometimes a gentle shoulder can bring peace and reassurance.

Remember, however, we as a support person cannot make the changes happen.  We are “support”.  It is up to the individual to use their own actions to bring about a solution.  We may be able to plant the seed, but they personally have to nurture that seed and harvest its fruit. 

Yes; it is important that we show our support and assist along the way when asked.  By allowing others to make solve their own issues, they build inner strength by addressing the situation.

 

Allow others free choice and movement.  Sometimes it is hard but we have to support them with their decisions, although suggestions are valuable too if they are open to hear them. 

Walking with them lets them know we care which is empowering, but strength is built through determination, inner resolution and tackling their own personal issues.

Love them enough to let them learn from their mistakes if they do not want you assistance.
