URANUS



Uranus, the planet of revolution and often sudden and drastic change, often causes havoc in people’s lives when it transits through the heavens.  It is the ruler of Aquarius, the water barer, and is commonly known as the awakener.  Its influence will function as a huge factor in making necessary changes to our lives. 

Uranus makes changes in areas of life that have outgrown their usefulness.  Uranus shows areas that require alteration and liberation from anything that could be considered traditional or restrictive in nature.  It creates a desire for the new and unique and often produces this in unexpected and in unconventional ways.

Uranus moves through each sign in approximately 7 years and takes a full 84 years to circle the zodiac.  During its movement, it creates quick results and a feeling of liberation and freedom from restriction.  It governs universal brotherhood and is humanitarian in its nature.  Uranus will force us to have an honest look at life’s issues and then enforce any necessary changes.  If we choose not to adhere to what is being proposed, this influence will often affect us in a much more abrupt manner and will then most likely be out of our control.

Uranus is rebellious in its nature and pushes us forward to independent thinking and with a flair for the unconventional and unique.  Uranus also has been known to produce shocking awakenings especially when our eyes have been closed to what is now required.  Uranus governs universal truths and intuition.  Anyone with strong Uranus tendencies has a unique way of rendering these truths (quite often in an abrupt matter-of-fact fashion).

Uranus’ action is unpredictable, imaginative and also very inspirational.  It is the higher octave of Mercury and therefore is considered a planet linked to mental processing.  It deals a lot with potential outcomes and is future oriented.  Uranus pushes us to come out into the open and express our uniqueness and creativity.  It is linked with advanced mental quickness and agility, similar to Mercury, although the thinking process may be considered bohemian in its nature.

Uranus rules electricity and anything electronic, such as computers and technology at its newest.  Uranus is anything but conventional.  Depending upon where it is found in our Astrology charts, it will indicate where we choose to reveal our originality and uniqueness. 

If, for example, Uranus is closely linked to the Ascendant in the first house, originality will shine through.  Many would consider someone with Uranus close to the Ascendant as a bit of an eccentric and they would not be ashamed of this flair which makes them stand apart from the crowd.  

Uranus will push us to be different and also to be proud of our uniqueness.

SHIP OF LIFE



It is said that we learn from life’s harder lessons and we would certainly hope that we listen and heed to the hard lessons. 

Why is it many of us do not seem to heed the easier lessons? 

Is there some other way to teach us lessons without having the hard experiences and we can still reap the full understanding we need to learn?

If we had full control over every event we experienced in our life, would we shelter ourselves from the challenging lessons we need to learn by reducing the hardships experienced? 

Would we choose an easier path to enlightenment?  They say that the best lessons learned are the more difficult ones, but why is that? 

Most of us accept that life teaches us what we need to learn, but can we accept without question some of the challenges that are provided by life? 

In reality there is little choice of the events that come our way (certainly choice on how we deal with them) and we have to adapt to these conditions.  They are what they are.  Quite the statement, but ultimately this is the truth.

Fighting hardships that are placed in front of us only serves to make what feels difficult even harder.  It may appear in the beginning that we are winning when we are paddling up stream against the rapids but eventually we will tire and the current will take us downstream where we were meant to go in the beginning. 

Stop paddling upstream.  Turn the kayak downstream right from the get go, climb in and enjoy shooting the rapids.  Ego tells us to paddle against the current.  What does this accomplish?

We are well equipped to handle most of life’s events.  There are times when we travel in a one-person kayak but there will be times when we have to utilize a ship.  Call upon the best mates you can find to help sail that ship.  A dear friend, earthly trained professionals, our higher self, our guides and Source are the best shipmates available. 

We are in control of how we sail our ship.  We make the decisions on how to sail this life by our attitude towards the waters we ride.  Put the journey into proper perspective.  Attitude and belief structure are key ingredients to resolving issues that enter our lives.  When we meet with a trained professional they do not do the work for us, they guide us to understanding, but in the end we make the adjustments that are necessary.

Regardless of how we address our journey, we are the captain at the helm and make the decisions of what we are doing with the ship.  Realize your control and strength.  Know that these are yours.  Work as hard as you need to control your ship in these turbulent waters but know this storm will pass and you will again enjoy the calm waters.

FULL MOON IN VIRGO MARCH 9 2020



Today, March 9, 2020 we will be experiencing a Full Super Moon in Virgo at 19 degrees 36 minutes at 1:48 p.m. EDT. 

Those that have planets especially conjunct, square or opposition to this degree in your natal chart will be affected by this Lunar event.  An orb of up to 3 degrees either applying or separating can be used (16 degrees to 22 degrees). 

There are two close transiting planets making aspects to this Full Moon.  Neptune is at 18 degrees in the sign of Pisces, so in opposition to the Full Moon and Jupiter is at 21 degrees Capricorn which is in trine to this Full Moon placement. 

For those new to our page and to the energies of the Moon, Full Moons are known as culmination points.  This is the time to harvest whatever seeds (plans) that were planets (started) six months ago under the influence of the Virgo New Moon.  We now see the results of our efforts whether we fall short due to not enough preparation or not enough application or whether we reap a bountiful harvest.  There will be times that we will reap our efforts, or we may need to make minor alterations or sometimes we may need to let go of things and begin again.

Virgo’s energies will insist on the meticulous handling of materials.  They will point out any flaws in the procedure and will seek perfection.  Likely you have been hard at work and now the fruits are ready for harvest.  Everything must be in its proper order but try not to be too critical of your work.  Perfection under many circumstances are simply not attainable.  Details will be important and the energy that you have put into your work will definitely be seen now. 

How have you done? 

Were you working diligently towards the completion? 

Is your goal now complete or does it need some minor tweaking?  You be the judge. 

The house where this Full Moon is located within your natal chart will be the area of life that is involved.  Other natal aspects to this position will give further details and details are what you are looking for.  Nothing half way suits you especially if you too have a Virgo Sun placement.

The opposition from Neptune might make things a little unclear and you may not be seeing things as they truly are.  Other people might not view things as you do and they may infiltrate your work and perhaps ask you to work with them on this project.  Neptune can certainly make things uncertain and blurred and you will need to use a clear perspective in order to see things as they truly are.  This can manifest in many ways.  Perhaps you view your work as perfect and nothing needs changing or perhaps you feel as though there is still some work to do.  Ask others for their opinions as they may have a clearer perspective than you do, but make sure you can trust them.  Don’t be too objective as you might just need someone else to offer advice.  Alternatively, perhaps someone is standing in the way and not allowing full expression.

The trine from Jupiter in most cases brings fortunate outcomes and growth, and opportunities are often a by-product when Jupiter is involved.  This may be related to business especially if the 10th or 6th houses are part of the equation.  This may be personal in nature and at the same time involve the home and family especially if the 1st and 4th houses are involved. 

It will be important to weigh things out but you should be ready for the next phase of this adventure.  Jupiter does offer good luck and perhaps finances are involved as well as your profession or the actual working environment if the 2nd, 6th or 10th are involved. 

Make sure you are seeing things clearly and don’t be too fussy. Overlook some of the small details and if things look good, move ahead.  Sometimes opportunities come in different packaging than what we are expecting.

TRANSITING NEPTUNE IN OPPOSITION NATAL MOON



If you have your natal Moon in the sign of Virgo, transiting Neptune may be in opposition to this position, depending on the degree of your Moon. 

Oppositions often involve other people and the Moon has a huge influence on your emotional makeup and your reaction to life’s events.  During this phase, you will have to be aware that you could be highly influenced by others, perhaps by deception or you may have a difficult time seeing through a veil of uncertainty.  Neptune tends to make life’s issues rather cloudy.

As mentioned, the Moon has a significant influence on our emotions.  During this phase, if you have this aspect in your chart, you may find that you are experiencing odd or unusual mood swings.  People seem to affect you even if you are not aware of it.  If you find that your moods suddenly shift for no apparent reason, check to see who is in your surroundings and what is transpiring currently in their life.  You may be taking on their energies on a subconscious level.

Your intuition may be somewhat off and although Neptune can inspire great intuitive insights and clairvoyant abilities, you would be wise to have someone who knows you well offer their insight before you make any sudden adjustments to your life.  If your world’s view is obscured and uncertain, understand that this could be due to the influence of Neptune and life should become clearer over time as this aspect moves away from being an influence in your chart.

Your inner feelings may not be overly accurate during this aspect, and you may be reading things incorrectly. 

Again, it is best to ask others for their opinion, but make sure that they are reliable and trustworthy. 

If this energy is affecting a love relationship, you may find that you are having trouble seeing your mate with clarity, even if you feel you are.  You may be putting them on a pedestal and not seeing all their little flaws.  Eventually you may be disappointed to find out that they are only human after all.

The home and family may also need some attention as these are areas ruled by the Moon especially if the Moon is in the fourth house, if Neptune is currently transiting through the fourth house or if your natal Moon rules the fourth house. 

If the fifth house is highlighted, perhaps this energy may involve your children or your lover.  Your creativity might be heightened if the fifth is highlighted. 

If the sixth house is highlighted, take care of your health and make sure you are eating correctly and exercising appropriately.  Health can be affected because of what is now taking place in your life.  Mental confusion is often an off-shoot of this aspect and can create energies that make it hard to diagnose illnesses.  There would have to be other factors in your chart suggesting something similar with your health for this to be significant.  You need at least three indicators in your chart suggesting something similar to each other to have an affect your life.

Make sure you are looking at life from a positive perspective, as Moon in Virgo has a tendency to over-analyze everything and tear apart even the best of conditions.  Always focus on the positive in life as you magnify whatever you focus on.  Although this may be a troublesome transit for some, you can learn a great deal about your intuitive insight and how the mind operates.  The greatest lessons come from the most challenging conditions.  Use the energies in positive ways to enhance your spiritual understanding and intuitive insight.

THE MARS RETURN



The Mars return to its original placement in the natal chart by sign and degree takes place approximately every two years.  Mars in many cases is considered malefic in its expression and often denotes aggressive action and conflicts which on some level require strength and determination. 

Before we go into the return and its implications and consequences, we have to look atMars’ placement within the natal chart.  Is it well aspected especially by trine or sextile with the Sun, Venus or Jupiter?  Is it poorly aspected especially by square or opposition and in some cases conjunct with Saturn, Uranus or Pluto?  This will help define what we are working with when determining the influence related to Mars in this return cycle.

In many cases the time within a few days of the direct return, this period will often be accompanied by an initiation of activities, and a formulation of plans for advancement are often quite common.  It has been noted that activities which require strength and stamina are generally highlighted at this time.  Mars is connected to physical strength and the ability to rise above intrusion, but this can also deal with activities that are challenging in the mental arena as well. 

Because of Mars’ reputation of being a malefic energy, some Astrologers link its place in the natal chart as an area of conflict, but the resolution often can be obtained by facing things head on and believing that inner strength is part of our personal abilities.  Mars is certainly in need of steadiness and control as well as direction and has been linked with accidents and struggle often requiring instruction. 

Many believe that Mars and its energies are something we need to worry about, but once again, we will need to look at the natal chart placement as well as other transiting and progressed factors present at that particular time to have a clear understanding of the energies at hand.

Mars is also a timing tool and can be used when analysing as something might occur and along with the Sun, Uranus and the progressed Moon, we will find that Mars can be quite accurate in determining when the energies are about to be released.

Those that are in sync with Mars (Aries rising or Sun in Aries or a strong Mars placement) will find that the energies are more comfortable and easier to work with than for those that are not fortunate enough to have this present in their natal charts.  However, it is always wise to set plans before jumping into action as this is when accidents take place or activities turn out less favourable than what we might have wished for. 

As with all return cycles it is a time for new beginning, setting new goals and plans of action.  Mars’ return can help with defining when it is best to move ahead or stay put in our plan of action.  In a masculine’s chart, it speaks of male energies and the aggressive instinct depending on what sign and house Mars is found. 

In a more feminine chart, it often speaks of the masculine spouse or someone who could be considered enthusiastic or aggressive or a prominent masculine figure. 

In both gender charts, it can speak of a young masculine individual; as with Venus, in both charts often speaks of a young feminine individual.  In both charts, Mars speaks of the sexual drive and ambitious, enterprising efforts made by individuals.

When we are going to experience the Mars return be prepared for action.  Sometimes we will need to anticipate activity, and other times, life just pushes us in a direction that often requires action, drive and a personal initiative.

THE VENUS RETURN



As with any return, the Venus return is calculated to the exact day it reaches into natal positioning by sign and degree.  A chart is then drawn up to define the energies associated with the planet Venus.  A Venus return chart that closely matches the natal chart by sign and degree signifies an important year. 

Venus’s cycle is approximately one year, a little over or under by roughly one month depending on the year.  The house position and aspects and especially contacts with the angles define what type of return can be anticipated.

When deciphering a Venus return remember to take into consideration that this is a chart which has to do with Venetian matters.  These matters will have an influence on love and affection and often speaks of a love interest.  Sometimes it speaks of the daughter or a young important female and in some cases on a wider scale is representative of women in general. 

Venus also has to do with social activities such as marriage and social events such as parties and engagements of importance.  Venus also has to do with popularity and material objects such as gifts and acquisitions often referred to as elegant or pleasing to the eye. 

The house Venus is located in within the Venus return will be an area of interest and much can be said with regards to what this period will be about by its house position.  The Ascendant and the placement of its ruler also help uncover the potential that lies within this Venus return chart.

The aspects which Venus receives from other planets in this chart define how positive or challenging this period might be.  However, it should be noted that Venus in many cases helps to alleviate some conditions especially when linked favourably to the Sun, Jupiter and the Ascendant.  Challenging aspects to Venus in the return can affect love connections and also finances but favourable aspects will also affect these areas in a complimentary and positive manner. 

Remember all challenges found in any chart are put in place to be resolved and they are the ones that hold the greatest lessons which propel us forward in life. 

All returns are indicative of the beginning of a new cycle and are defined by what the return planet is about so return charts can be prepared for any given planet.
