NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE - July 2, 2019

We will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Cancer at 10 degrees on July 2, 2019, at 3:17 EDT.  At the same time we will also be experiencing a Solar Eclipse.  Those individuals that have planets between 7 and 13 degrees of either Cancer or Capricorn (in conjunction or opposition to this placement) will particularly be influenced by this Eclipse/New Moon positioning. 

Solar eclipses are strong in their effect for about 6 months, but the overall effect of Solar Eclipses is equivalent in years for every hour that they lasts; so a three and one half hour eclipse will still be in force 3 ½ years from the time of the eclipse, if it makes close aspects within your natal chart.   The energies associated with the Eclipse can usually felt prior to the actual eclipse for several weeks.

New Moons are associated with a time to start something new...to plant the seeds for goals in the garden of life.  When in the sign of Cancer, the new moon deals with nurturing and often our subconscious is involved.  Cancer is a sensitive and gentle sign and family is important.  Depending on which house is involved in our personal astrology chart, the nurturing part of you will work in these areas of life represented by the house involved in your chart.

Because Neptune is involved (out by 8 degrees and forming a trine), sometimes love and affection can be part of the process.  It will be important not to romanticise the relationship.  Do not let your imagination run wild or grasp for far-fetched ideologies.  Neptune tends to elevate love and affection and often people put others on a pedestal under this influence.  Guard against this, although this might be a match made in heaven and the relationship may flow very well.

Being tied to the North Node suggests that life’s path and important people may come into the picture and push you out of complacency (if you have been in need of a push).  Solar eclipses are equipped to make this happen and are known to bring about new opportunities.  They can wreak havoc and push for change. 

There is a lot of feminine energy associated with the sign of Cancer and intuition may be strong. 

Many people, unfortunately, fear eclipses but truth and change are what eclipses actually foster.  Many people dislike change and forget to see what great benefits change can bring.  You might not feel ready or well equipped to maneuver your way through what these energies are relaying to you, but sometimes change is what is required and the eclipse will bring about the momentum to push ahead.

Domestic matters may be part of the process and if the energies are abrupt, remember they will eventually be positive in their expression. In many ways, these changes will carry good Karma although work is involved with Saturn being in opposition. 

Over time, however, Saturn does tend to offer stability and structure to anything that needs structure and/or solidity. 

Make sure you recognize and act upon any of your own personal needs that are not being met.

THE WEALTH WE SEARCH FOR

Those that believe in reincarnation trust that they have spent many lifetimes gathering information to enhance their development and growth. 

No matter if we accept the concept of reincarnation or not, we are not here to be a mere spectator and stand by while life presents us with opportunities to assist in this material experience.  We are here to be a participant in our awakening, even a light to guide others in finding their own personal insight and meaning to their lives.

Many people become trapped within the idea that material wealth will satisfy their deep inner yearning for understanding.  Maybe for a few brief moments we may find some contentment or even excitement but this is short lived if what we are actually seeking is inner fulfillment. 

Do not get me wrong.  There is nothing wrong with material wealth and it can certainly make the physical life a little easier but it will not make you feel complete or provide happiness, for these things cannot be bought.  We can become lost in the search, unfortunately. 

If only we would stop looking outward for our fulfillment and answers.  Our investment in these things never seems to provide a true return on our efforts and as a result, we keep striving for more.  We eventually come up feeling empty and ever reaching for that one thing that will make us feel happy only to find that that next “thing” does not satisfy what is missing. 

Look within for answers.  Live in the moment, without expectations. 

It does not hurt to remind ourselves that we are spiritual beings living an earthly existence...nothing more, nothing less.  Be the listener.  Be the watcher, the one within who watches each event and who listens to the story as it unfolds. 

We have never been lost!

We already are the wealth that we are search for.  We have heard others speak of the one within.  That is who we truly are.  We are not separate.  We are one with everything.  We resonate within the divine light of knowing.  We are pure energy momentarily experiencing this physical form. 

We are light!

PROGRESSED SUN CONJUNCT NATAL SATURN

The progressed Sun moves approximately one degree per year.  In most cases in order to experience this conjunction between the progressed Sun and your natal Saturn, you would have to have your natal Saturn no more than three signs from your natal Sun, unless you would live beyond 90 years of age.  This too is assuming that your natal Sun is less than one degree of a particular sign.  Your natal Saturn would also have to be located in a sign after your natal Sun, because the progressed Sun never goes into retrograde. 

For example, if your Sun was at 1 degree Aquarius then your Saturn would have to be in either Aquarius, Pisces or Aries to experience the Conjunction between the Progressed Sun and Natal Saturn.   If you lived beyond 90 years of age, your Saturn could be in Taurus in this example.  You would have to take into consideration short and long ascension signs.

The progressed Sun deals with reaching our objectives, following our goals and, if used properly, these intentions materialize in feasible ways.  Beyond following our life’s path, the progressed Sun also has to do with inner connectedness and reaching out to find our true self and our inner path.  Sometimes these objectives can be achieved through material rewards.  Sometimes they deal with spiritual enlightenment and the awakening process.  Much, of course, depends on the sign and the house the progressed Sun is in as well as the aspects in play.

Saturn on the other hand always has to do with hard work, learning life lessons, resilience and sometimes a cautious approach.  Saturn speaks of delays and sometimes shortcomings as well as restrictions and, above all else, speaks of teachings and lessons learned.

The progressed Sun (and progressions in general) often deals with inner evolution, although the progressed Sun often promotes energies that are quite relevant and noticeable in the external world.  When lined up with Saturn, and remember the age of an individual would most certainly play a significant factor, the energies for advancement are often harnessed or we can be forced to move slowly and carefully along the path that we are striving to travel.  Saturn will insist that no shortcuts be taken, and planning and preparation are often part of the process.  With Saturn, hard work is nearly always a prerequisite for achievement.

Achievement can be acknowledged/achieved in many expressions and although the road to these objectives will take time and work, the rewards are often quite substantial.  Saturn does offer stability and structure as the work gets done.  In many cases, Saturn also offers longevity and steadfastness.  There will be many lessons learned along the way which can provide invaluable information in the future, but again, it can be a rugged journey to learn the lesson.

NO REAL TIME

Is there a past, present and future?  

What is time? 

In physical terms, we can say we are here today and we may be gone tomorrow, (tomorrow being sometime in the future).  The past, present and future are all concepts.  Time is man-made. 

On a spiritual level, we never die.  We are energy and energy is perpetual.  We move on from this physical realm as we now know it. 

Many of us believe that we are connected with God, whatever our concept of God may be.  If God has always been, what is our starting point?  We are energy.  Energy is perpetual.  Do we then have a beginning? 

Some believe that we are part of God.  We have been told that God is indivisible.  How then can we be part of God?  Is it fair to say then that we are part of the whole and have no beginning?

Again, time is manmade.  From a spiritual stance, there is no beginning and no end, so time is only important in human terms.  We were born during this life time, we learn, we mature, and we die physically, but the death we experience is only in body.  In spirit which is formless, we live on and enter our next stage of evolution in our energy form, whatever that may be.  Some say we return to our origin, but if we have always been, what exactly is our origin?

We are spiritual beings living in a physical experience.  Perhaps to get a clearer picture, we need to go deep within to rediscover who and what our core self really is.  Many of us feel very limited with the time we have for self-rediscovery because our days in this body are limited.  If we are limited in time for this discovery, how long do we have to make this discovery and how elaborate will this discovery be? 

Should our focus be only self-rediscovery or should we live our life and enjoy the moment?

We learn through experience and we can enjoy our lives during every moment we exist. 

Be here now so that we do not miss out on any experience.  Allow and enjoy where life takes us.  Live it, love it, share it. 

Do not take yourself to that level of seriousness that life’s grip is too tight and you are not able to expand.  Allow!  Accept!  There is no time……like the present.

SUN IN CANCER (Part II) OPPOSITION TRANSITING PLUTO

In continuation from our post for those with their Sun in Cancer and the effects of Saturn posted on June 21, 2019, we will now touch on the effects of transiting Pluto in opposition to those with their Sun in Cancer.  Pluto, when this post is being written, is still in its retrograde cycle and will remain in this cycle until October 3, 2019.  It hovers between 20 and 23 degrees until the end of 2019.  Those that have their Sun at these degrees in Cancer will be experiencing this opposition.

Saturn and Pluto will be tightly conjunct in January of 2020 at 22 degree so this will be when these energies in combination will be at their strongest.

Those Cancerions with their Sun around 18 degrees and up to 25 degrees will still be affected by this conjunction and to a lesser degree anyone having planets by major aspect to these degrees will also be influenced, except those with their Sun in the sign of Capricorn as they will be experiencing the conjunction.

Pluto deals with regeneration, transformation and often points towards an ending of sorts in whatever area of life is involved (house position).  Pluto is rarely insignificant especially in Conjunction, Opposition or Square aspects. Pluto will often initiate massive change as the individuals in question are presented with internal alignments or external activities.  Pluto is not passive in its expression although it may come in gently just prior to a more intense period and provide hints on what needs change before it often brings dynamic action.

Pluto is not to be ignored and its actions are intense and can be upsetting (if you fight the process) especially when in conjunction or opposition to our natal placements.  However, it should be noted that once Pluto has run its course which usually begins to subside around 2-3degrees out of orb, the changes that took place will have pushed you out of situations that were no longer suitable for your path in life.  Over time and this can mean as much as two years after initial contact, we begin to fully understand what actually took place and the why behind these actions. 

Although the energies from Pluto can be disruptive and sometimes even aggressive or violent in nature, they teach us important lessons that can be used as life progresses, and we will make adjustments that push us in our intended direction.  Pluto energies are focused on change, disruption and/or regeneration, eventually promoting transformations that enhance our life and add to our life’s story.  Pluto is always an agent of needed transformation and often pushes us into action.

If and when Pluto is in opposition to our natal Sun, many times the actions of others is what propels us forward and promotes aggressive change and disruption in our lives.  Oppositions always suggest outside influences and often these changes that take hold are brought on through other people.  We may not even be able to change the course of action that unfolds in our lives.  Careful examination is advised and self-examination is often a by-product of what unfolds. 

“Bringing things to the surface” is what Pluto is all about.  Allow the energies to do what they must do instead of fighting the process.  It will make the change much more bearable but nonetheless, the outcome will be beneficial.

SUN IN CANCER

The Sun moves into the sensitive, emotional and nurturing sign of Cancer today, June 21, 2019, at approximately noon EDT. 

All of the water signs can be defined as sensitive and emotional although Cancer tries to cover its sensitivity with an exterior hard shell of protection.  Cancer people have a nurturing side which they use to protect those they love and provide them with the necessities of life from a deep and personal perspective.  They nurture their family and friends with love and affection and often are the shoulder to lean on in times of need. 

They truly and instinctually understand the behaviours of others and will do their best to offer themselves to those experiencing the sense of helplessness and insecurity.  They understand these qualities because of their own sensitivity to anything that is harsh and intrusive. 

Cancer people are caring to the extreme and give themselves freely.  Their strength lies in their emotions.  Many Cancerians would not admit to this, instead they might suggest that emotional intensity can be like carrying extra baggage or showing a sign of weakness.  Cancer individuals are, however, mothering and have a great concern for the welfare of their family. 

Cancerian individuals need a place of refuse where they can go and recharge their emotional batteries.  They need a place of solitude although they also enjoy the company of family and friends.  Many enjoy the art of cooking and some are the perfect chef.  They are quite capable of making gourmet meals that can satisfy the palate of even the most fastidious connoisseur of food.

Most are loving and caring and also have a very gentle quality within their nature.  There certain are those, however, that are uncomfortable with this gentleness and will try to be harder than they actually are to hide their perceived “weakness”.  Their strength actually lies in these qualities.

If you do not relate to these qualities, you will have to look deeper into the Sun sign and its positioning in the birth chart as well as other mitigating factors within the chart.  Sometimes there are other qualities and energies within the chart that completely dilute the sun sign qualities such as an emphasis in some other sign or house.  The whole chart always needs to be deciphered to get a clear understanding of the individual in question as a whole. 

One perfect example of how a Sun sign can be diluted would be someone with their Sun in Capricorn in the fifth house and five other planets in the fifth house and a rising sign of Leo.  The fifth house is naturally ruled by Leo and with having a Leo rising sign and the fifth house influence, the Capricorn tendencies would be softened although the need for personal advancement would still be strong.  This person would be much more assertive and outgoing because of the Leo traits than someone without the Leo emphasis in their chart.  Capricorn can be introverted but Leo is an extroverted sign.  Leo would be much more visible in this individual to the outside world.

Back to the sign of Cancer..........Welcome to this sun influence and happy solar return to all of those individuals born under this sign.

SUMMER SOLSTICE 2019

We will be experiencing the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21, 2019 at 11:54 a.m. EDT.  This powerful solar energy serves to recharge our spirits, minds and bodies.

All things are energy and this energy is all connected.  Some of us are quite aware of these influential energies and others, are not.  With or without this awareness, all living things are affected by the position of the planets at their birth, by the continual movement of the planets, by the influence of the rotation of our earth including the changing seasons and any other shifts that occur in nature. 

When guided by spirit/our higher selves (call it what you will), our focus is to walk and live our truth, during the easy times but especially during the times that we are being tested or educated.  Take advantage of the strong solar energies of the Summer Solstice to push forward with this focus.  Use the more aggressive energies of the Sun to catapult forward and allow yourself to bloom into your own true creation.  Just as with the Sun is currently at its fullest potential for our earthly position, you too can allow all of your inner power and beauty to radiate out.  This expresses your true self but also benefits each and every other living thing that your energy touches.

What a glorious time of year.  Allow yourself to mirror the seasons.  We have just experienced a season of wonderful renewal.  We have worked hard to create buds of promise.  Now is the time to allow those buds to open and to eventually bear the fruits of our efforts but also to allow all other living things to see and experience this beauty and to eventually share our harvest. 

Happy Summer Solstice!
