TIME WISELY SPENT IN SILENCE

We have heard from people that they feel lost with no clear direction.  They feel as though they have nothing to strive for. 

Are you waiting for something or someone else to point you in the right direction?

Our journey can be challenging at times to say the least, and some individuals may feel as though they may have lost their way. 

These times that some terms as stagnant are the perfect times to contemplate and get into the habit of quieting the mind and allowing.  Seize these opportunities to practice mindfulness, to quiet the mind and just be.

It is imperative to just settle into our current life’s conditions and want nothing more (......just for this moment).  When we look up from our quiet time, we may find that a light has appeared in the distance.  There will be just enough light to light up the shadows in the dark corners of our life and we once again will feel comfortable and guided to continue on our journey.  We can never hurry the process but we can utilize the time wisely in silence (yes “wisely” sit quietly) using this period prudently.

If we have chosen to get caught up in the fear of nothingness, we must “defocus”.  It is just that simple.  By shifting the mind’s focus to quiet, we can appreciate and prepare for the next leg of our journey........that WILL come.  It is inevitable. 

Life can be SO busy and so much can happen that we lose gift of silence which is the best guide and teacher.  We shoot the rapids and spend little to no time adjusting and adapting to the subtle lessons that we learn.  These times that so many term as “stagnant” are not wasted time.  Quite the contrary.  It is during these times of quiet that we are given so many invaluable tools. 

Observe and examine and then sit in silence.  Accept and appreciate this treasures we have been provided with.  Do not be misled by reactive thoughts.  Quiet the mind regularly so that we are ready to continue our journey.  Where our path leads us tomorrow is not important today but we can rest assured that it leads to where we need to be. 

Enjoy each moment and utilize what may feel like stagnate times to reflect, review and rest.  This silent time is not stagnating; quite the contrary.  It is essential to calm the rapids on our river of life.

TRANSITING URANUS IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

Mercury is the planet of the mind and of communication.  There are times when it indicates travel although there would have to be other aspects that point to travel in the chart for this to happen.  It also deals with everyday life and our mental reaction to these events and people.  As mentioned, Mercury is about communication and this could go as far as telephone conversations and communication through electronic devices such as computers especially when linked to Uranus, as Uranus is often connected to electronics and modern technology.

Mercury on its own does very little and unless it is in aspect with others planets, it is considered neutral.  Mercury takes on the energies of any planet it aspects or is aspected by.  When it is aspected by Uranus, communication and mental processing becomes unique, different and far-sighted.  Uranus is very impulsive in its action and when joined with Mercury, this could result in intellectual conversation and actions that would be decided on in the moment.  You could say that Uranus and Mercury could be considered impulsive in their actions and with their thinking energies.

Uranus is all about pushing us out of passive thinking and activities.  Its energies assist us in seeking freedom on some level.  When these planets are linked by aspect, thinking is stimulated and erratic ideas may flood the mind.  Ideas that you have never entertained before suddenly seem quite appropriate and you are likely to act on them too.  Communication has more depth and meaning.  New insights will be entertained and you would probably share these ideas with others.  Many individuals would consider these ideas erratic and unconventional but certainly engaging and thought provoking to say the least.

You may find that the occult (supernatural, mystical, psychic) may interest you, particularly Astrology because Uranus rules Astrology. 

Anything scientific also carries more weight than normal especially if you are already inclined to think in these terms.  Abstract thinking and the study of subjects that are linked to occult teachings would not only interest you but you would be advised to undertake their study.  You may find them mentally stimulating and they may awaken latent abilities linked to the supernatural that lie dormant.

Taking advantage of anything new is highly suggested but you should also understand that this whole process may be short lived.  Sometimes the energies of Uranus bring things into our lives that are very stimulating and exciting but they can also vanish just as quickly as they came.

Try to keep your mind as focused as possible as Uranus will tend to scatter your thoughts.  Watch also for making impulsive decisions.  Always think things through before jumping in with both feet.

As mentioned earlier, Mercury sometimes indicates travel and with the influence of Uranus there is the small potential for accidents or mishaps along the way due to being impulsive.  You can anticipate the unexpected when you are making plans for excursions and new adventures, as quite often things do not turn out as you first expect.

Whatever takes place, it will be an enlightening experience.  You will complete this experience wiser than you were prior to this transit.  Expect the unexpected and move forward as you will only live fully by doing.

TRANSITING JUPITER CONJUNCT THE MOON

This conjunction between transiting Jupiter and the Moon when in force marks a time of positive energy on an emotional level.  Jupiter expands on things and adds positive reinforcement when it comes to our nurturing and compassionate side.  We truly want to help others, especially those that might be struggling and feel that no one cares.  We can give much of ourselves to others without diminishing our self, or without feeling empty.  In contrast, we may find that giving without measure, in return, provides us with the emotional support that we might feel we need.  This could come in the form of help from others through religious pursuits or spiritual endeavours.  We will find that the assistance we seek is easily found.

The Moon has to do with our domestic situation, which includes the home environment and also our group of friends and our actual family.  We may feel very generous under this aspect and provide others with what they need.  We may find that we are especially drawn to those close to us, and we will invite them into our homes and share ourselves with them more than we might at other times.  We want to make them feel at home and at ease in our homes.  We will go to great lengths to make them feel comfortable and welcomed.

Jupiter brings with it good luck and often fortunate times.  We are quite willing to share whatever comes our way.  There may be those that take advantage of our generosity under this influence so we may have to watch for becoming too extreme in our giving.  However, most people will see this side of us for what it is and want to give back because of what we have put out (but we give without this in mind).  Feelings are enhanced and a general feeling of opportunity coming our way is part of our everyday experiences.  Often because of this attitude and belief structure, things actually do go quite well.

The only possible challenging condition that might befall us under this aspect (and this is not often the case) is feeling so good that we become too extravagant and spend more than we should, eat more than we should and do not look after ourselves the way we should.  Jupiter wants to expand on everything and sometimes everything will include these extremes as well. 

This is a very positive aspect and can help us get in touch with our inner most self.  In doing so, this will help us with understanding our inner workings, our own emotional makeup and that which has brought us to where we are in our life’s path. 

This aspect can open the door to wider perceptions and intuitive understanding often based on emotional interaction with others.  Even if others do not express themselves verbally, we may pick up on the subtle workings of the subconscious under this influence. 

The psychic self can open up new dialogue that was not noticed before or can now become enhanced and further developed.

This can be a very beneficial aspect.

LOVE YOU

Do you appreciate the person you are? 

Take a moment to reflect on the divine that radiates from within.  Do you accept your connection to the whole?  The one within is complete needing nothing more or nothing less. 

All love radiates from within.  We are a reflection of love.  Love connects all things. 

Without love, could we exist? 

We are in unity when living through love, and we have come into being as an expression of love.

The first step is to allow love to grow and its growth is eternal. Recognize the love that radiates from within.  Allow yourself to love you. 

Mastering self-love can be difficult, because we can always find flaws.  Love does not judge.  Love is unconditional.  If we can rise above ego’s constant chatter, as it is ego that creates this doubt and judgement, you move a step closer to realizing you.

Align with the true you and simply allow that magnificent force of love that exists within.  This love is not connected to ego. 

Your alignment to love allows you to understand and control the endless pursuit of control by ego.  If you see flaws in yourself, do not identify with them as they are not part of your true essence. To believe they are is a manifestation by ego.  See these thoughts for what they are. 

To beat ego’s control is no different than beating any other addiction.  The “need a cigarette” thoughts that go through a smoker’s head when they are trying to quite are ridiculous in content when heard after the addiction has been overcome!  The ego’s voice is no different than the voice heard by those suffering from addiction.  We must learn not to identify with that chatter and see it for what it truly is.

You are a perfect creation without flaw, and love radiates through your pure essence.  We continually seek to learn and for the spirit to flourish, but our essence is already a reflection of love.  See yourself for what you truly are.  Stop identifying with the ego.  Any misleading thoughts that belittle you or make you feel superior are ego generated.  Do not identify with these. 

Watch for making judgements based on the ego’s interpretation. 

Love yourself as you are and watch love grow in your life.  Love is the greatest experience of all and can never be lost. 

Eternal life; eternal love.  There are no bounds.

FULL MOON DECEMBER 12 2019

We will experience a Full Moon on December 12, 2019 in the sign of Gemini at 12:14 EST. 

With a full moon in Gemini, the sun will be in the sign of Sagittarius.  All Full Moons are always in opposition to the Sun.  A New Moon is always conjunct the Sun (at the same degree, in the same sign). 

A Full Moon is the harvest time in the garden of life.  We will see the results of whatever we planted some six months ago earlier when the New Moon was in the same sign that the Full Moon is in now.  New Moons speak of beginnings and on the Full Moon, it is hopefully the time to reap the rewards of our hard work. If we did not put in the work required, now is the time to pick up the pieces and try again or if there is nothing there that is salvageable, we can plow under the neglected crop.

With the Full Moon in the sign of Gemini, it is quite likely that some six months earlier there were at least a couple of things we set goals for.  Lack of patience to see these goals through might have been an issue for Gemini but all things need nurturing and patience if we want to create the best we can.  There can be no half measures, and we hopefully stuck with our goals to see them through to fruition.  Because of the Gemini influence, our project may have encompassed several different aspects and perhaps the changes that took place along the way had to happen in order for us to get to where we are now.

This Full Moon is in Gemini at 19 degrees and in order for this to have a significant role in our personal Astrology chart, we will need to have an adjoining planets or angles tied in closely to this degree.  The planet or angle as well as the house position of the planet and also the house position of the Full Moon will define what areas of life are involved. 

Remember when deciphering this Full Moon, a planet or angle that is conjunct this position will be the strongest and will add intensity to the equation. 

The opposition (180 degrees) will often indicate the involvement of someone else and quite often they are the initiators of what takes place.  

The square (90 degrees) will produce tension and because of this tension we are often forced into action to help alleviate any issues. 

The trines (120 degrees) and sextiles (60 degrees) work favourably and help foster growth and easy flow along with opportunities.

Transiting Saturn plays a part in the delineation of this equation as it is in quincunx at 19 degrees in the sign of Capricorn to this Full Moon’s position.  Saturn tends to challenge even the best of well laid plans but if this is what we have done, planned well, did not miss any steps and worked hard toward our objectives, Saturn can offer rewards and solidify our goals.  However the quincunx often suggests that adjustments are necessary and we should not overlook this in our calculations.  So have a close look at this project and we might want to make some minor adjustments or some major ones; much will depend on the work we did prior to this Full Moon.

Let’s see how this pans out over the long haul although some Astrologers believe that things move forward quickly regardless of which path we may take. 

If we do need to pick up the pieces and start again then be it as it may.  Do not get caught up on what might look to be a failure.  If we look at the experience correctly, it is actually a valuable lesson.  You never know how things will turn.  Sometimes what looks like a wrong turn or a failure can present us with the best options possible for a wonderful outcome.  The outcome may not look like what we intended but it can turn out to be results that are far beyond our wildest dreams. 

If our goals grew exactly as we nurtured them to, we can enjoy the fruits of our labour.

INTUITION

Intuitive guidance can be useful at any time if we are open to receiving the messages.  There are no prerequisites to being intuitive.  

Intuition could be called the hearing, the seeing, the smell, the feeling, the tasting or the understanding.  In most cases, intuition is subtle yet in other cases it can be quite clear and concise.  The later are the times we cannot question its validity.

Intuition can come as a warning or it can contain needed information; whichever it is, it can be counted on.  It provides insight when we cannot find the answers with our rational minds.  

Intuition is available when we need it the most if we quiet our babbling minds.  Intuition is a profound tool at our disposal, although it is rarely forceful.  We can utilize the information in whatever form it comes to us or we can allow it to pass us by either by choice or due to lack of focus.

The mind will continually question information obtained intuitively.  It will question this information’s validity most always.  We will instinctively know or feel that the information we receive is truth.  Our gut will tell us so.  Oh, but that doubting mind!

Sometimes we can be so wrapped up in events that the information goes by with little notice and we will recall, after the event is over, the information that was available to us.  It is then that we wish we had listened to that “hunch”. 

When the situation is dangerous, intuition can be anything but subtle.  The message can be very profound.  The more we pay attention to our intuition, the clearer the messages will become and the easier it is to recognize the importance of the information we are receiving.

Intuition is our guide.   It stems from our higher self and it is always reliable. 

Intuition is our forever guiding companion.

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT NATAL MOON

Before we go into the definition of this aspect, it is important that you review the placement of Transiting Uranus as well as where the Moon is placed in your own personal natal chart.  These will be the areas of life that are affected by this transit.  The conjunction does not necessarily have to have negative effects if there is positive aspects between these two bodies in the natal chart, or if the Moon is very well aspected in the birth chart. 

The transit between the Moon and Uranus does suggest some change on an emotional level that can be quite disruptive, particularly if you have been following a ridged emotional pattern where you have not allowed your emotions to be released or expressed.  Any restrictive behaviour in terms of how you have been handling life from an emotional perspective is now subject to reckless and possible impulsive behaviour.  Your mood can vary considerably under this transit, and you might find your emotions very hard to control.

Incidents involving women, particularly your Mother, can come under attack during this aspect.  Things intensify and your relationship may go through some struggles, or changes may come suddenly out of nowhere.  Sometimes you are the one orchestrating these behaviours, and other times it may stem from others.  This can involve women in general and in the case of men with this conjunction, they may find that they are attracted to women that may be eccentric or original in their behaviour, particularly if Uranus is conjunct Venus in the natal chart or if it is found in the seventh house.  Sometimes these women come into your life to help you move forward in ways that you may have been stagnating previous to this time.  Other times they are just disruptive and cause trouble to the normal routine, although things may have felt rather dull before this conjunction but they will certainly not feel that way now.

The Moon has to do with your emotional response and your emotional needs.  If you are supported in your life and you have been nurtured especially when you were young, your emotional expression would relay this to the outside world.  You may be nurturing yourself and want to look after others and play a mother role or a nurturer for them. 

If, however, your emotional upbringing was anything but smooth, you may have difficulties expressing your more sensitive side, especially if you have other factors in your chart suggesting this, such as strong Capricorn tendencies.  Things may change during this transit and you may have to deal with either being taken advantage of, or you may not respond well in emotional ways.  Change is what Uranus’ energies are about--required change and also freedom of expression.  If these have been hindered, this may be the time for such things to be reviewed and changed.

The Moon also has to do with your domestic life.  This could include your actual home or if you own property, your real estate might be subject to change such as a move or making changes within the home’s environment.  Some look for cottage property and some just do some remodeling to make their environment more comfortable. 

Watch for being too impulsive at this time.  Above all else, this is a time to truly get in touch with your feelings.
