OUR OFFERING

What can you do to help alleviate challenges that affect you and those individuals who are important to you? 

What is your purpose at this time and how will you manage to move in your intended direction? 

How we live our lives now is a direct reflection of who we are on the inside and where we hope to be furthering our growth in the near or distant future.  It is not a question of what I can do for myself although we certainly have to take into consideration what our needs are.  We can’t assist others before we take steps to remedy uncertainty within ourselves, but we are here to facilitate healing in all that surrounds us including this world at large.

Material goals have, under most conditions, been put on hold and many have come to the conclusion that what we have is far greater than what we need.  Right now, the basic necessities are what are required although finances are certainly a part of that equation.  Yes, we are learning to live with less and spending is not a priority, at least for most of us.  Our life structure is under close scrutiny and we now recognize the significance of family and friends.  In many ways we are alone at this time and this presents a wonderful time for reflection.

If we are capable, this is a time of helping those that are needy and we are using a very broad definition here.  We can offer our support and let others know that we stand by them and that they are not alone, even though they physically may be by themselves.  We can let them know we care and that we miss them and that they are important to us.  Those that struggle with fear we can help them in whatever way we can with their fears. 

We are stronger than most of us give ourselves credit for.  We can keep moving through this.  We can assist others by being their guiding light.  We can be an example of strength for those that feel weak and help them to ignite their own internal flame.

Be strong; be resilient.  Know that this too will pass and that eventually we will be able to be with each other again.  Your show of strength and assistance will be remembered. 

Be the light, be the reflection of truth and bring positivity into the world through whatever means you can.

THE ABSENCE OF SPECIFIC ASPECTS IN THE BIRTH CHART

Planets in the natal or birth chart represent energies which are released through the houses (areas of life) in which the planets are located. 

When major aspects are missing in the birth chart, minor aspects can help to alleviate the missing energies which would otherwise be available if major aspects were in the chart.  When there are no sextiles or trines in a chart then quintiles, semi-sextiles and even a novile aspect can help compensate for these shortages.  When there is a lack of squares or oppositions, the semi-square and in many cases the inconjunct will help to offset this lack of energy.  There will, however, have to be several of these minor aspects in order to compensate for the major aspects that are missing.

Those individuals that are lacking in conjunctions (which bring emphasis into the area of life this aspect touches) have a challenging time focusing their energies, particularly when they are working on a project.  They have a tendency to become scattered and need a goal or purpose to focus their attention on.  Follow through is very important and this can be a challenge as these individuals may lose interest or be pulled in another direction before completing the task at hand.

Sextiles speaks of opportunities that come into life either through self-initiation or by life seemingly pointing us in the right direction.  They also stimulate mental activity and bring creative forces to the forefront.  With a lack of sextiles, many individuals find that they have to actively pursue intellectual activities and find ways unique to them to communicate these abilities.  Expressing themselves freely through communication will create a useful tool that can lead to accomplishments in life.  They need to talk to others to recognize opportunities coming into their life.

Squares tend to create difficulties and put stumbling blocks in the way so that we have to push ourselves and in turn, builds strength, endurance and nurture a belief in our own abilities to push through adversity in our lives.  Those that are lacking in squares tend to take the easy path rather than push through hardship for the purpose of growth.  When confronted with crisis, these individuals tend to have a difficult time adjusting or moving through the challenge.  They actually have to push themselves and find ways to overcome the adversities or lessons that stands in their way.  If they learn to push, they are able to face the challenging conditions that often come our way.

When trines are absent in a chart, these people tend to be faced with a lot of challenging conditions in life and use a lot of energy trying to adjust to these conditions and/or to repair the damage that sometimes occurs.  They use great energy during these periods often leaving them feeling worn out.  They need to go at life a little easier and find ways to relax and go with the flow even when life seems to be throwing hurtles their way.  Meditation and learning to move through life in a more temperate manner will do wonders for these individuals.

Oppositions always suggest that there are others who have an influence in the equation at hand.  When there is a lack of oppositions in the horoscope, these people are often quite in touch with themselves and they are comfortable meeting their own needs.  Sometimes these individuals become overly self-reliant and need to open the doors so that other people have an impact in their learning process as well.  Expanding their horizons by allowing others to assist in this process will widen their personal scope on most everything in life.  They should welcome a fresh look and a fresh idea.  There are times when others can help us develop into ourselves and those lacking Oppositions would benefit from this and not have such a limited perspective on who they think they are.

SUN IN GEMINI - MAY 20, 2020

The Sun moves into the sign of Gemini on May 20 this year (2020). 

An individual with an abundance of Gemini in their chart is an intellectually stimulated individual who in most cases enjoys a good conversation and is involved in the teachings of life.  Constant stimulus is important to the average Gemini and they can get bored quiet easily if nothing is happening. 

This current period in history may prove to be quite the lesson in patience.  Gemini individual have difficulty sitting back and moving a little slower.  They are not accustomed to this type of lifestyle.

Gemini is versatile and usually quite adaptable.  They enjoy change.  As long as life is continuously having events, things are interesting for them.  Even as children they want and need to be kept busy and got bored easily.  Provide them with books to read or even busy TV programmes and you will find that they are somewhat content. 

Gemini individuals will flit from one thing to another and could learn the art of finishing what they start.  This lesson goes well into adulthood and may be lifelong.  Try not to start something new until you have finished what you have started.

As mentioned, good conversation as well as teaching or being taught something that they consider important is right up a Gemini’s alley.  They would make good tabloid writers, good teachers, perhaps even political analysts, as they know how to change the course of conversation and most people find them quite interesting.  These individuals have much knowledge on many different subjects.  They could make good consultants, counselors, and mediators.

Saturn will be making a trine for those with their Sun in the early degree of Gemini into the early part of 2021 and then eventually to those in the mid degrees of Gemini and finally those with the later Sun degrees of Gemini.  Saturn adds stability and structure, and this might be something that an Gemini individual needs.  Saturn is reliable and with a disciplined effort and constancy, they can go far, although this might be a little challenging for the typical Gemini.  Saturn will make them jump through hurtles and they certainly cannot cut any corners.  As you can imagine, this will be difficult for your typical Gemini.

If some of these character traits do not suit your Gemini self, you may have other mitigating or stronger character traits linked to other signs in your chart.  If, for example, someone has the Sun in Gemini, but they have several planets in Capricorn or in the 10 house this would certainly soften some of the typical Gemini characters.  It is always suggested that you investigate all the different aspects within the natal chart before you dismiss some of the typical character traits associated with any sign.

Happy Birthday for those that have an upcoming birthday and let us see what you learn this year as I am sure there are many lessons in place right now.  Nothing comes by chance and we always need to go deep into the extenuating circumstances in life.  They have a lot to tell us.

TRANSITING NEPTUNE CONJUNCT DC

Currently in May 2020, transiting Neptune is at 20 degrees in the sign of Pisces.  Neptune goes into retrograde June 23 and this is a time when its energies will not be fully released. 

Neptune in direct motion can be quite spiritual, even aspirational and if positively aspected these qualities are brought forth.  Neptune is mystical, inspirational and can be revealing in these qualities. 

In its more negative expression, Neptune can be illusive, making life situations foggy and unclear and the path ahead may be uncertain.

When Neptune is conjunct the DC, it is in opposition to the Ascendant.  The conjunction aspect is always the most powerful especially if connected to another planet as well as this angle.  The DC relates to important relationships particularly the partner and it is also associated with business partners.  Sometimes there are legalities associated with this placement, but in general it has to do with the marriage partner or business associates.

While in direct motion, Neptune (when speaking in terms of a marriage partnership) can indicate also magical, inspirational, mystical alignments.  You may view your partner through rose coloured glasses and idealize what this relationship holds most prominent.  This could be factual but when Neptune goes into retrograde make sure you are seeing things clearly.  You may start to question the relationship or be unclear about its true condition.

Currently we are under a lot of stress due to the pandemic and it will be important to recognize this energy if the relationship seems to be heading in the wrong direction. 

How was the relationship prior to the pandemic and our current financial situation?  What has been learned from this experience to this point? 

If the relationship was strong prior to this time perhaps you will need to take into consideration the influence of what is taking place in your life and potentially recognize that the issues surrounding life may be putting a dampener or stress on your relationship but it might be temporary. 

You may get much feedback from your partner and if you listen closely, with a clear mind and view, you might see how things really are.  With this clear vision, you may be able to see where the future will take you.  You may be going through changes due to what is taking place with your partner and what is taking place in the world around you. 

It is advised that you take a deep breath and mediate on life and your current situation.  Take the time to recognize the facts and perhaps that magic that you experienced is actually real.  If not then perhaps you need to think in terms of what you can do to make things better.  Don’t expect anything from your partner and if you look at things from a realistic perspective and make the necessary changes your partner may follow your example.

Allow time for Neptune to go direct again before making any rash decisions.  Neptune goes direct once again in the end of November, 2020.  There is plenty of time to review things and there is nothing wrong in asking those that you trust to assist in this process. 

What you see now may be more reliable than what goes through your head when Neptune turns retrograde.  From the 21^st to the 26^th of May, Neptune is stationary retrograde and this can be an important time when the energies increase and when it becomes stationary direct between November 27^th to the 30^th.   During this latter periods, you might get a clearer understanding as this once again intensify, but usually in more positive terms. 

We have to remember that other indicators in our personal chart may be pointing in a different direction and we always have to take into consideration all the aspects in place along with the natal potential during any one specific aspect.  A full report on the nature of the elements in play has to be considered before drawing up conclusions.

INTERNAL FORTITUDE

It is at this point in time when we need to go within and discover our true resilience.  We have strength to overcome anything life throws our way.  It does not matter what we are facing as nothing is beyond our abilities.  We have the tools at our disposal that will be required. 

Sometimes we feel as though we are at wits-end but somehow we are always able to get beyond whatever is in front of us.  This current situation is no different and regardless of the outcome which none of us truly know what it will be, we will find our way through. 

Always have faith in your own abilities and allow yourself to rise above any intrusion.  Remember the influence our focus and attitude has in our lives. 

Stay true to your core self, and know you can ask for help when you need it.  We are not alone.  There is always a helping hand available. 

Find your strength by believing in yourself, first and foremost.  Place no limits on what your capabilities are and face things as they are in this current moment.  No one knows what tomorrow will bring so live in the now. 

What you are feeling right now, is it a true core feeling or is it the mind’s interference? 

You have what it takes.  Spend this time building your strength, not questioning you abilities and squandering your strength.

TRANSITING JUPITER CONJUNCT VENUS

Jupiter is known as the great benefactor and often bestows good luck, good fortune and expansion onto almost everything it touches.  When connected to the planet Venus, the planet of love and romance, it often brings good fortune into this area of life. 

During this aspect, the energies offer a peaceful time, and you may find that your lover or your friends brings out the best in you.  You feel comfortable and your mannerisms are gentle and very loving.

If you are in a new relationship, this could be when the relationship will grow to new depths and this aspect will offer not only love and excitement but also enough space so that you can make a choice as to when you want to be together and when you prefer to be by yourself.  In a new relationship, which may have a lot to offer, you may find that you want to spend more time together; however, you probably will not feel tied down under the influence of these energies.  You may find that you both give the other enough space and freedom to be your selves, especially if Uranus is somehow connected to this conjunction.

Under this aspect, would be a great time for social gatherings, and you may find that you wish to share your life with more people during this aspect’s influence.  This of course may be difficult under the current conditions that we are experiencing. Party going in wide open spaces may be very appealing especially when connected to nature; although currently there are only the two of you, but times will change once we overcome this pandemic.

Watch for becoming too lavish as Jupiter has no boundaries.  Also watch for overspending as when this transit is finished, you may find that you went overboard.  Remember Jupiter expands on almost anything so you may feel as though you don’t have to be too careful under this influence.  Optimism and understanding how Jupiter works will help alleviate some of these ideas.  Remember to live within boundaries that are acceptable and responsible.  In about one year, this aspect will return and things will likely be quite different and hopefully there will be cause for celebration.

You may also be tempted to travel to lush and beautiful surroundings at this time.  Foreign culture may be very exciting to you and you may meet someone even if it is on line.  Who knows where this will lead.

Self-indulgence on some level is likely. Be careful not to overdo things.  Many will gain weight during this time as food seems very tasty, especially if somehow this is connected to your Ascendant.  

As you can see, you will enjoy life on many levels.  You want to be around beauty and anything gruff and abrasive does not suit you during this influence.  Move away from these influences.  You are meant to enjoy yourself and share your life with those that matter to you most, particularly when this aspect is present in your chart. 

If we look deep enough, there is beauty and wondrous adventure even in simple things.

HEALTH, WELLNESS AND OUR LIFE’S CONDITIONING

Often our physical health, attitude and mental wellbeing all go hand in hand.  

Our overall lack of wellbeing often shows in our health and if we stay in a more stressed or negative mental state for any prolonged length of time, our physical health will suffer because of it.  To maintain good health, it is important to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly but it is also essential to surround ourselves with those who lift us up emotionally and support us and to also eliminate any stress reaction in life.

Some of us may have to overhaul our belief structures and make changes to where we place our focus of how we see our lives.  Others will have to weigh out the true value of what they believe to be important such as jobs,  relationships and even their lifestyle for example. 

Some of us may feel trapped by life’s conditions.  If we remove the fear, are we truly trapped? 

Not all health issues are lifestyle choices.  It is believed that some of us have come into this life with tremendously challenging conditions by spiritual choice.  Some have chronic or incurable physical conditions.  Many individuals that are here to learn from their physical limitations have a wonderful outlook on their lives, and we can learn so much from them.  They rarely complain about their lives.  They have accepted their journey and challenges and light the path for many of us. 

I have heard it said time and time again from parents of children who live with mental challenges that their children have taught them much more than they will ever be able to teach their children.  This is certainly something to think about. 

Our mental attitude towards everything in life is the key to the quality of our lives.  It is not always our mental approach that defines the events or circumstances of our lives, but in general, the quality of our lives particularly our health runs parallel with our attitude towards our lives.  That specific piece in our lives, we certainly have control over.  

If we are feeling unwell or anxious take a few minutes to see what we might be able to do to help alleviate these conditions.  Make whatever changes possible, particularly in connection with outlook or attitude.  You might be pleasantly surprised at how life seems to turn around. 

Life happens to all of us but our focus and beliefs move us in different directions.  Regardless of what surrounds us, there is always a choice.

Do we make ourselves victims of life’s events or do we push ourselves to be studenst of life?
