What holds you back?  Do you hold onto ideologies that could be detrimental to your growth or progress?  Do you accept inherited concepts and ideas without question? 

Many of us have openly accepted concepts passed down without question and we have taken them on as our own.  Our concepts are based on ideas that we have been set before us.  Because they have been accepted in the past, some of us may have never questioned them.

These ideas can certainly include what we conceive is attainable as an individual, physically, emotionally and mentally.   We incorrectly judge our worth based on standards we or someone before us has placed on us.  By doing so, we put limits on all that could be and I mean ALL.

Our conditions change as we set new standards through our focus and beliefs about ourselves.  We can become lost in this search or tethered to judgements that were handed to us as children.  If we release the wanting and searching, we would recognize that all we search for is already part of who we are.

Everything we want for ourselves is available but we hold ourselves back through our belief structures and the programming we have received in the past.  Go beyond the confines of what we consider attainable for this specific time in our lives.  We search and “want” relentlessly.  We do not recognize that it is the wanting and searching that is inhibiting our recognition of who we truly are. 

What is, is as a result of our belief structures.   If we do not want limits, we cannot place limits on anything.  We facilitate this change in accordance to what we believe.  Taking control or at least understanding the control that we have in the process begins a spiral of change that is more in line with where we choose to be in our lives. 

Following instinct through love and allowance, we can push forward accepting that the moment is the real goal and what is, is determined by that moment.....nothing more and nothing less.

Judgement, desire, fear, despair, etc. are always a result of previous conditions.  In finding the now, we let go of any thoughts pertaining to our potential future or our past experiences that hold us prisoner.  Living in the moment requires nothing further.  Recognize, experience, and enjoy this moment!  Nothing else is real.......

TRANSITING PLUTO SQUARE NATAL SUN

Transiting Pluto is currently in the sign of Capricorn and will move into the sign of Aquarius in January of 2024.  Due to its retrograde motion, it will not  go into Aquarius and remain there until November 2024. 

Those that are born with their Sun in Libra or with their Sun in Aries from approximately 18 to 29 degrees will be experiencing a square in their birth charts, at one point or another.  Remember, check the house position of transiting Pluto, the house position of your natal Sun and the house cusp that is ruled by Scorpio to get a clearer picture of what areas of life are affected by this aspect.

Pluto is known to purge and to assist in uncovering different facets of life.  It helps you to uncover information that needs an honest review and then expects that you make appropriate changes as necessary.  Pluto often brings an end to conditions in order for something new to emerge.  

Pluto in the square aspect often produces challenging conditions and also stimulates action particularly when it comes to your goals in life and who you are as an individual.

Pluto will test your resolve and your self-control.  Its energies will push you ahead in life when it comes to ambition.  Pluto can be somewhat relentless as it moves through the areas of life represented by the house positions involved.  There is often power struggles as your “will” is being tested.  If you force your opinions on others during this time, you will more than likely experience much opposition.  If, however, you are working for the general good for those involved, you may find that you do not have much disagreement coming from outside sources. 

The Sun deals with your life’s objectives and the will to move ahead.  The ego is stimulated during transits to the Sun and it will seem very important to have things right.  There will be those that are opposed to your objectives, but you must stand strong in the face of opposition and follow what you believe in, unless of course you are not allowing others to provide you with necessary information. 

If you try to avoid what this aspect is attempting to convey to you, life might challenge you through more difficult conditions and force you into action.  Pluto is relentless and its lessons are necessary.  Best to move forward on your own then to have Pluto force the change.

Under extreme conditions (this would only apply if there are other factors in the chart suggesting the same overall picture), you may find that you feel over-burdened and that you cannot continue along the same path.  This can lead to nervous disorders and an undoing of sorts which can be hard to put back together.  If by chance you fit into this category, seriously consider seeking professional assistance as a little assistance would make this aspect easier to handle. 

Although squares are always considered challenging, it is up to us to handle these energies and take whatever action is appropriate for the situation.  Fighting these energies creates difficulty; recognizing the need for change and moving on this recognition, creates a  much easier flow.

This transit is in place to build character and strength.  The energies can be used to assist you in many ways.

TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE

Some of us sit and wait for the perfect time to move on our goals.  We feel as though there is plenty of time to get things done and do not think in terms of time restrictions or delays.  We believe we always have tomorrow and what will not get done today will certainly wait until tomorrow.  There is no urgency.  There is no rush.  There is plenty of time.

We always have tomorrow even if we pass from this world today.  We are energy - a current of life that never ceases.  If we did not accomplish something in this life time, we were not meant to.  If we did not learn the lessons to their full extent, we will enjoy the lesson again in some other form or another. 

Life is perpetual but does that mean that we should wait or procrastinate? 

I think not!  We are here to live so live we should.  Our greatest potential lies within this very moment that we are currently experiencing.  Should we waste it?  Again, I think not!

There is no greater opportunity than now.  All we have is this very moment.  There is truly no time like the present.  To state this even more precisely, there is only this time at the present. 

We waste prospects by sitting back and waiting for the perfect opportunity to present itself. 

It is said that some things are worth waiting for but does this insinuate inaction?  Perhaps we simply need time to prepare.  If this is the case, utilize this time doing exactly that….preparing.  Perhaps the timing just does not feel right, then let’s use our intuition but do not procrastinate.  There is a difference.

If we feel we should move forward with our objective now, then undoubtedly we should.  If we feel now is not the time, then perhaps we should wait.  Perhaps this intuition is telling us that we have not done all of the necessary prep work before moving forward. 

If, however, we have been putting something off for a long time and we keep making excuses as to why we should not move ahead, it is certainly time to examine why.  The only thing to fear is fear itself.  Do not let fear dictate.  If it is fear of failure or a feeling of never being totally prepared, it might just be time to rise above these fears and take that plunge.

We are never at the mercy of life, although we are often at the mercy of our beliefs.  We must not let fear stand in the way of our progress and cannot let fear stop us from reaching our goals.  The biggest regrets we may have are regrets of inaction.  We know instinctively when the time is right if we remove fear and doubt.

SUN IN LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24 2019

As the Sun moves from Virgo to Libra on September 24 this year (2019), we move from the mutable earth sign to a cardinal air sign.  Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are known to have a need to advance in life.  In general they formulate a plan then move ahead in these objectives.  Libra is a balancing sign.  This does not mean that they are balanced but does indicate their need for balance.  Librans will strive for harmony and peace at almost any cost.  They will work tirelessly to achieve this in their lives, particularly in the area of relationships.  This could include the relationship with their spouse and their relationships with all others, including their children, family, parents and friends and also the people that they will run into.

Most Librans are very cordial and amiable and truly want to please others.  They are the peacemakers of the Zodiac, and they enjoy creating harmony in whatever circle that they are a part of.  In most cases they are pleasant to be around and very social individuals.  They appear quite refined and often enjoy the finer things in life, not to the extent of Taurus but they are ruled by the same planet (Venus) and Venus loves beautiful things.

Those with their Sun in the sign of Libra will soon be experiencing the energies of Mars which moves through Libra beginning October 5, 2019, and finishing its journey in Libra on November 20, 2019.  At some point all those with their Sun in Libra will experience this conjunction to Mars as it transits through their sun sign. 

Mars is all about activity and action, and it promotes a real strong push in whatever area of life it is found (house).  It will vary from person to person depending on what degree their Sun is in the sign of Libra.  Allowing an orb of 3-5 degrees approaching and 2-3 degrees separating, if you have a Libra sun, you can look at your ephemeris to see how long it will affect your chart as well as when the energy is the strongest. 

How things pan out over this week or so will be determined by the aspects that the natal Sun makes to other natal planets and angles in the chart, as well as any transits that are applying to your Sun at the same time.  In some cases, Mars may pass by with little notice, so Astrology will let you know when the energies are the strongest and you can push a little harder at that time to make things happen.

Transiting Saturn and Pluto will be square to the Sun (check ephemeris for degrees of these two planets), so the energies of the Sun may be somewhat harnessed and likely you will experience some setbacks, potential power struggles and transformations along the way.  They meet up in January, 2020, at around 22 to 23 degrees of Capricorn and will likely causing some disruption felt by all with their sun in Libra, and particularly those with their Sun in Libra close to these degrees.  The transit of Saturn and Pluto will be influential for anyone with planets in these degrees in their natal chart and manifest in the areas of life determined by the houses that they are in.  Things might be a little volatile at this time, so using the energies appropriately is suggested.

Happy Solar return to our Libran readers.

FALL EQUINOX - SEPTEMBER 23, 2019

In 2019, the Fall equinox will be September 23 at 3:50 a.m. EDT.

Typically the equinoxes represent the equal division of day and night.  

The Spring equinox (Ostara) celebrates new beginnings and fresh starts. 

The Fall equinox (Mabon) celebrates reaping the rewards of our hard labour and gathering the harvest.  The Fall equinox is a time of reflection on the harvest of our achievements and often considered a time of change.  It is linked to the sign of Libra which above all else is a sign striving for balance.  The balance that we should strive for is the knowing of what we need to hold on to and what we need to let go of.

Some consider this a time of sacrifice as we now reap the rewards of our labour and if we have not sown the seeds of life in the manner we needed to, we may have to sacrifice because of these shortfalls and count our losses.  We, at Holm Astrology, like to see it on the flip side.  It is not a sacrifice but a lesson well learned.  Life is much like a mirror.  It reflects back what we put out.

Astrologically, the Fall equinox represents a balancing point of our self-image.  Do we disapprove of what and where we find ourselves?  Now is the time to review our goals for our life’s quest.  Do we continue with the conquests we have created or do we adjust before we move on?  This review will assist us in recognizing our abilities and true self.

On the opposite side, the spring equinox is linked to the sign Aries and Aries begins things and initiates action.  These two points (spring and fall equinox) are known as cardinal points.  The cardinal points in the horoscope are known as action points.  They are used as timing devices and lead to activity, drive, ambition, and involvement.  During these cycles, we should consider this as a time of action -- either related to the start of something or the end or culmination point of whatever action we have already taken.

It is a time to actively pursue a course of action, to take control of our lives and push forward in the direction of our choice.  Cardinal signs are action oriented and strive for activity that is often personally initiated.  This should be the time we utilize to things happen.  Do not wait for or rely on others.

This will be the time to push ahead or count our losses which ever applies.  (“Losses” is actually not the word we are looking for.  Lessons are never losses.  They are gains but they push us in totally different directions than the direction we thought we should be moving in.)  If we are going to move in a new direction, than now is the time to set these new things in motion.  Use the energies of the equinox to push forward and make the changes needed to address any situation that needs addressing.  The time has come to move beyond any stagnated stages of life that have held us back.  Now is the time to reap the rewards after a busy season of planting the seeds and nurturing growth.  These efforts are now ready to be harvested.

Take advantage of the energies available.  What are your goals?  What can be done to see these to fruition?  Do you have to tweak or start over?  How do you see yourself?  What do you like about yourself?  Are you willing to change or is change even necessary?  Do you love yourself?  There are so many questions we can ask!

MIXED FEELINGS

Are you questioning certain commitments that you have made to yourself?  Are you unsure of the direction life is taking you?  Do you feel lost yet determined to set things right?  What do you do next? It can be very challenging to stand firm under the pressures of life at times, and our commitment to staying on course can sway during these trying times.  Do not dismay if you find yourself feeling “off course” every now and again.  You are allowed to teeter here and there and veer off your “anticipated” path.  Actually every step you take is always on path. Some commitments are made under duress and some are even made under circumstance long since changed.  Some commitments just cannot be continued.  This does not make us a failure.  Some portions of the journey can be tough.  We are human and we will revert back to old ways or look back to old conditions.  As long as we catch ourselves and refocus, we can continue forward.  Many times in life, until we learn a specific lesson, the issue keeps resurfacing until the lesson has been learned.  Shoving an issue or hurdle under the proverbial carpet in the long run is not a solution.  Face life’s issues head on.  Deal with them immediate.  Only then can we put them behind us and continue our journey forward. If we are unsure of our life’s direction, spend time in silence.  Get away from the hustle and bustle.  We may not always have a great “ahha” moment in our silence, but we will receive clarity as to which way to turn.  Take baby steps forward.  We do not need to have the full path mapped out in front of us.  The course may already be set but it is each step that is the actual life experience not the final destination.  We have lessons to learn and will experience life through different channels but these lessons will be presented regardless of what course we take.  The lessons are necessary for growth and they can be taught on many different levels of understanding. As mentioned, we are never truly off track and although there will be times of utter confusion and deep feelings of being lost.  Life will shift and we will understand the reasons for these feelings.  Down the road a little further, one day, we may even understand the “why” behind certain events that at the time left us befuddled.  We are on an adventure with many twists and turns, yet every experience regardless of the challenges involved or the ease of flow we experience, takes us precisely where we are meant to be.  Have faith in the process and understand that we are always being guided. Eventually, we will see where we need to step next even though today we feel lost.  We will regain our momentum even though today we feel stuck.  We are never alone in our journey although we take each step ourselves.  Stay true to your convictions and accept what life offers regardless of what that may be.  We are on our way and nothing will stop us from achieving our required goals even if we do not understand what they are today.  Peace can accompany us every step of the way.  Are we allowing ourselves to experience that peace?

NATAL OR TRANSITING PLUTO CONJUNCT THE MIDHEAVEN

Is Natal or Transiting Pluto conjunct your Midheaven (MC)?

Pluto on the Midheaven at birth suggests an individual with a powerful presence especially in the working environment.  They will have the ability to transform the working environment not only for themselves but also for those that they either work for or work with.  This position speaks of leadership and the changes that can take place in this person’s life when they transform working conditions and regenerate this area of their life. 

There may be some struggles with personal wills when it comes to moving forward with their objectives but any challenges will facilitate changes required to further the evolution of the individual in question.  The actual process would be very deep and would describe changes and transformations on a fairly constant basis.  Any changes that do take place will be of a permanent in nature.  There would be no half measures with this ongoing process as the transformation is usually on a very deep and personal level.  It is also often life altering. 

This is a position of regeneration of the life goals.  This individual would gain recognition for their efforts with uncovering integral internal changes but these changes would usually require some participation from others in the working environment.  These individuals may find that there is some opposition to their efforts by their superiors and the best route to follow is one where the ego stays in the background.  The individuals with this aspect may have an approach which might be quite aggressive and this might also stand in the way of progress, but standing in the shadows is not what these individuals are meant to do either.

Much of their approach depends on the astrological sign involved.  For example, if Pluto is in Virgo, regardless of this aspect, this generation of individuals would proceed in a meticulous fashion, digging up material that needs alterations and strategic changes.  With a Virgo influence this would take place in a very organized manner.  Everything will have its place and their presentation would be accurate and detailed.  The Pluto Virgo individuals operate in a very orderly manner with expertise at their disposal.

Those with say Pluto in Scorpio may work below the radar and do things in a much more subtle manner.  They would go deep into what needs transformation and challenge tradition.  If they have this aspect, they would make suggestion on how the company would best work under most any condition.  They would be more subtle in their approach but have an impact that would not go unnoticed.  Their approach would be intense and also very complete.  Pluto Scorpio individuals would bring things to the surface that others may not even have noticed or dared to bring to the surface.  They may be more of the quiet type but would present an image of know-how and people would notice their presence.

When transiting Pluto is residing on the Midheaven, this period speaks of transformation in the working environment.  Depending on the overall conditions in the individuals chart, there would be powerful influences taking place that may involve disruptions and major changes to take place.  There may be disruptions with people in power or authority and difficulties simply based on varying opinions.  The changes that would take place could open doors for new positions of authority and may offer an opportunity to move up the corporate ladder into a management position. 

Pluto will uncover anything that needs to be transformed into a higher state.  This is done in order to move forward regardless of obstruction.  Pluto will facilitate change on one level or another.
