SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS

 

When you work to assist others, have you ever asked yourself why you are helping? 

 

Are we looking for some type of reward, whether this is from others or whether this comes from pumping up our own ego? 

 

Is there something in it for us or is it coming from unconditional love?

 

I believe that most of us have admirable intention and we act to assist others for their benefit but there is the added benefit of feeling good about what we are doing. 

 

When someone reaches out to us for assistance, I personally believe we should try our best to provide the right assistance for that individual.  It is good practice to look internally to know how to be of assistance. 

 

How can we take credit for helping someone when all we do is plant a seed?  The resolution does not come from us.  Only the individual we are trying to help can make the actual change. Most times the seed we plant is given to us from higher sources and we are simply the conduit of the information.  Do you praise the copper cable in your house for carrying the electricity to whatever requires the electricity to operate?

 

If we can recognize the fact that we are not the ones orchestrating the process but only the conduit that is open enough to receive the answers, we can proceed with little to no ego involvement.  This is the beauty with healing from any source, whether that be actual physical healing, emotionally healing, mental healing, spiritual healing, etc.  We are not the originators, so cast aside ego’s need for rewards and control.

 

We are here to assist on some level or another.  In many cases, this begins at home with us, then spreads to our families.  We all have connections and resources within that can assist our profound journey. 

 

Do not forget who we are….. spirit living an earthly life.  

 

Know that we are capable of anything once we decide to do it.  Belief in self but there is no need to step up on a pedestal. 

 

What a wonderful experience when we simply live life and adhere to the higher principles of love and giving. 

 

Today is the start of a magnificent journey.  What will you do with it?

SUN IN LEO JULY 23, 2020

 

The Sun moves into the regal sign of Leo on July 23, 2020 locally. 

 

Leo is the sign of royalty and in some ways, these individuals carry themselves as Kings and Queens.  They command attention wherever they go, and others will notice their flair.  When they enter a room, they will be noticed.  This is not to say that they demand attention but they do stand out and unless there are other factors in the chart that makes these individuals more meek, (perhaps several planets in the sign of Pisces or in the 12^th house or more subdued like strong Taurus or perhaps Capricorn in their charts) they definitely stand out.

 

Leo likes control or at least to be of a helping hand in life’s situations.  They are always there to lend a hand in times of struggle and even if you are making plans, they always have ideas on how to better things and make them flow easier.  They are helpful although some people might be offended when one of these helpful Leo individuals tries to take charge. 

 

Leo is ruled by the Sun and their helpfulness comes straight from the heart.

 

Leo individuals do like appreciation for their efforts and will not take kindly to those that try to take advantage of their generosity.  They do not like to be used but a pat on the back goes a long way.  They have a lot of energy being a fire sign.  They are also fixed in their opinions and at times will not listen when they honestly believe they know better. 

 

During the next few months, Mars will be in the sign of Aries which is also a fire sign, and in transit, it will be making a trine over the next six months to those with their Sun in the sign of Leo.  You can give yourself a five-degree orb as Mars approaches and two-degree orb as it moves out of orb.  Mars will go into retrograde during this period, so those with their Sun from 15-28 degrees will have Mars pass over their Sun by trine up to three times over this period.  Mars goes into retrograde motion on September 9 and remains in retrograde until November 14, 2020.  Check the ephemeris to see what degrees and when Mars will make a trine to your natal Sun.

 

Mars’ energies are about drive and ambition and those with their Sun in Leo may find periods during this phase when they can accomplish a lot.  These Leo individual must make sure they pace themselves and must realize that they can make changes or move in directions that line up with their goals in life.  They can also make personal changes and set goals for themselves at this time, making changes that reflect who they are and what they might want.

 

Mars is also about sexual drive and the desire to excel in this area of life as well.  If they happen to find someone whom they are attracted to, the push may be extraordinary.  They may feel a powerful draw to these individuals and the Leo sexual desires may rise to new proportions.  Do not forget Leo loves with all their heart, so make sure that there is more than just sex pushing for a connection under this influence.

BRING SOMETHING POSITIVE FORWARD

 

There are times when it is best to advance with a cause and times when we should just take time to reflect, and/or just have time to relax and release. 

 

When we are inspired to take action but instead sit idly by doing little or nothing, we are squandering an opportunity.  If we feel somewhat motivated and keep getting signs and hints that we should do something positive, we should listen.  We always have choices to make along our road of life and the worst thing we can do when we feel an urge to move ahead is to ignore the urge.

 

There is little to no positive significance with thinking and acting in negative terms, regardless of how real it may be.  This is wasted, non-productive time.  We can, with practice, switch our negative, self-defeating thoughts to thoughts and actions that will validate our beliefs in positivity and into affirmative action. 

 

We know the way life works and by re-focusing our attention in a positive directions we enhance the potential for something favourable to begin its rise.  The more that we are focused in this direction, the greater the effects.  There is power in numbers (even thoughts).

 

There have been times in the past when we had set dates and times on a worldwide scale and focused our attention together thereby enhancing whatever the focus may have be.  The problem with this is that it is short lived although powerful but may not have as great of an effect if the energies were being directed in a positive direction on a more persistent effort.

 

It is understood that we would have a difficult time trying to focus our attention consistently on these matters.  If we spend as much time as possible, especially when we initially realize that our focus is less than productive, and redirect towards a productive outlook, the overall affect can change direction (slowly in the beginning but just keep at it).

 

It is up to each of us to do our part by reiterating our “knowing” and focusing on what we know will bring light into our world.  Remember we are all one and the energy of many can have powerful ramifications.  Let us push to bring positive change into a much-needed direction. 

 

All together now…. let’s advance in a productive direction.

NEW MOON IN CANCER JULY 20, 2020

 

On July 20, 2020 at 1:32 p.m. EDT, we will be experiencing a New Moon in Cancer at 28 degrees.  This New Moon will be in direct opposition to transiting Saturn which is at 28 degrees Capricorn conjunct transiting Pluto at 23 degrees.  We will also have the Part Of Fortune in square, the Vertex in Sextile and the North Node in Semi-Sextile all to this position of the New Moon.

 

A New Moon speaks in terms of a new beginning and is a great time to embark on something that you might have been thinking about starting for some time.  It is always suggested that you take the necessary time to formulate a plan of action before beginning any project unless perhaps transiting Mars is part of the equation.  Even with Mars, it is still suggested that you begin anything with some forethought and not jump in blindly.

 

Depending on where this New Moon falls in your natal chart (house position and aspects to this placement) you will be able to define what areas of life are involved and whether there will be challenging or flowing energies associated with this plan of action.  The natal chart must always be explored to realize the potential from an astrological perspective.  If you have natal planets or angles within 3 degrees of this 28 degree positioning of the New Moon especially by conjunction, square or opposition, you will likely be affected by this position of the New Moon.

 

The New Moon in the sign of Cancer often speaks of family and nurturing or assisting in some form those in relationship to you.  Cancer is a sensitive sign and “feels” rather than deals with things through mental processing and is very attuned to intuitive feedback.  Cancer cares deeply about family and is also highly influenced by their surroundings.  This includes other people as well as the environment particularly the home as Cancer energies associate with the home.

 

When in opposition to Saturn as in this case with the New Moon’s positioning, there can be obstacles and delays especially from other people, for the plans you may be attempting to set into motion.  Saturn does create hurdles and difficulties and speaks of diligent effort as a requirement to achieving something viable and that will stand the test of time.  Saturn which insists on diligence and hard work often indicates that the efforts applied will be rewarded with a solid foundation with which we can work from.

 

The Semi-Sextile from the transiting North Node suggests opportunities are in place which can be used to achieve what you set out to do.  This Semi-Sextile suggests that we are in the right place at the right time.  The North Node often suggests that we are on target and moving in the right direction with the goals we have in mind.  The North Node always points us towards the direction we are meant to follow.   

 

The Vertex in Sextile to this position suggests that there will likely be a turning point with these plans and perhaps we will need to act at this point. 

 

The square from the Part of Fortune (out by three degrees) will often propel us in our intended direction because there is energy in place which pushes us into action due to a challenge we face.  The Part of Fortune may not be that influential although still somewhat pertinent and speaks of an opportunity for good fortune although due to the square aspect, it also speaks of hindrances along the way.

 

The House in you chart where this New Moon is found will be the area of life that is mostly affected by these energies in place, and we can either choose to push our way forward or sit back and do nothing or very little with the potential now beginning to formulate.  It is always up to us which path we choose to follow.  Use the energies wisely.

TRANSITING PLUTO SQUARE NATAL MARS

 

The transit of Pluto to your natal Mars can be a very volatile combination.  The conjunction, square and opposition although different in their release of energy, all can have powerful ramifications and should not be dismissed lightly. 

 

This combination is powerful, influential, and often suggests energies that translate into aggressive behaviour.  This can come from outside forces, such as another individual, especially if it is an opposition. 

 

Squares indicate action and if someone else is part of the experience then perhaps not getting involved in any arguments and disruptions is a good idea.  Violent behaviour is often associated with this combination and getting out of the way of an aggressive individual would be a good idea.  This can also be related to sexual encounters or violence on many levels.  Worst case possibilities can speak of very challenging conditions, although there needs to be other indicators in the chart suggesting something similar.  It takes three or more indicators of something similar in action before energies are considered influential.

 

Mars with Pluto has been linked to accidents and sometimes this speaks of sharp objects being involved, other times this can speak of car accidents.  Never drive your car after a heated argument.  Find ways to calm down before you decide to drive. 

 

There[AM1]  are often power struggles with this square and the important piece of information about this combination is that squares push you to act, and if the energy is directed properly, you will seek a solution to the problem.

 

If this is a new relationship then often the fifth house is part of the picture, perhaps the act of sex has a powerful influence on what is taking hold.  Perhaps aggressive force is part of the drive behind this union.  Watch for being taken advantage of by a more aggressive individual and make sure that this is the road you want to take, as it could get out of hand.  Some find this attractive; others find this repulsive.  Much will depend on your own personal feelings about this type of interchange.

 

Pluto wants control and seeks power and if the second house is part of the picture there may be a need to dominate and overpower which can lead to feelings of insecurity and defeat.  Continuing with the second house, there may also be finances involved and security may stem from this area of life.  Perhaps the other individual has a lot of influence in the area of personal wealth.  There can be manipulation using sub-conscious motivations which affect you in mysterious ways.  This could be part of the profile if your Mars is in the twelfth and Pluto is in the second. 

 

Mars is about drive and ambition and when in the twelfth house there may be a push to find and relate to life’s mysteries and the psychic realm.

 

There are many different expressions and the whole chart would need to be carefully reviewed to get a clear picture of what is unfolding. 

 

Do not forget this can last several years as Pluto moves slowly through the Zodiac.  Pay attention but do not let fear control the situation.  If you are being manipulated and are experiencing aggressive behaviour, remove yourself from danger.

IDENTIFY YOURSELF

 

Who are you? 

 

What road do you walk? 

 

Are you true to yourself and what you stand for? 

 

Do you feel you need to tweak some parts of who you are, or do you feel you require a complete overhaul? 

 

Can you accept who you see in the mirror? 

 

How will others respond to who you are?  Is this important?

 

We walk this road of life alone.  Although we meet others along the way and some are always within our general vicinity and thinking in a similar fashion as we do, we truly are unique. 

 

Allow this uniqueness to shine.  You do not need to fit into the proverbial box.  You are your own unique self.  We may change as we learn and grow but our core remains uniquely us.

 

We will adjust to life circumstances.  We will change.  Think back to a year or so ago and see just how we have changed.

 

The perfect person to be is the person we are right now in this moment.  Connect with self and know that although some changes will occur, we will never lose our true identity. 

 

You will always be you and that is the best person to be.

TRANSITING URANUS TRINE NATAL MOON

 

Transiting Uranus often speaks of disruption, dramatic change of direction, a need for something new to begin. These can happen in sudden and unexpected manners.  It is challenging to diagnose how this change will manifest and to predict with certainty, but change is due and something new is on the horizon. 

 

Much will be revealed by the placement of transiting Uranus, your natal Moon and natal Uranus in your birth chart.  These houses provide information as to how this might pan out.  The houses define areas of life so you will know which areas of life will be involved.

 

Uranus as mentioned is rather unpredictable and often provides you will hints along the way suggesting that something has outgrown its usefulness and now we push for something that will aid us in our evolutionary quest.  If you are around the age 42 then you will be experiencing the Uranus opposition.  Uranus has an 84-year cycle when it returns to its original position in the natal chart.  This 42-year period, as mentioned, is known as the Uranus opposition.  In layman’s terms it is called the mid-life crises.  This opposition is when people make dynamic changes to their lives and usually in sudden and unexpected manners.

 

The trine to the Moon as of this date (June 2020) will put the natal Moon in Capricorn or Virgo.  With either of these placements, although Uranus will push for change and often in a rather dynamic manner, there will be a part of you that will want to decipher why you want to make this change.  You might like the idea, or you may worry about the change especially if you have your Moon in Capricorn which does not like change and emotional expression is difficult.  With this scenario, you may find it challenging to express how you feel about what is going on.  You may ponder whether this is a good idea or filter through all the little details of why you want this change especially if the Moon is in Virgo.  You will find a lot of flaws with current situations with a Virgo influence and the change will also be viewed with careful consideration.

 

In most cases the trine is a favourable aspect and things can flow easily with the chance of something positive coming out of the eventual decision, but it will likely not be an easy decision to make.  Both of these Moon signs like the tried, tested and true approach and often remain conscientious and attentive about decision making especially when it affects the emotions. 

 

The Moon can also indicate the mother or an important female in your life and they may be going through changes that may be powerfully active at this time.  In some cases, this speaks of changes of residence and this can also refer to you and your family.  More will be defined when you take into consideration other transits affecting the natal chart at this time.  Have a look at the progressions as well.

 

Change is inevitable, and it is best to go along for the ride but with these lunar earth positions the decision will not be an easy one.  Trines do help things flow and offer little resistance if any.  In the long haul you will see that what takes place was preferred rather than remaining on the fence at this time.  In many cases trines are what we wait for and the changes put in place will work out favourably as things settle in over the next year or so.  Be sure, however, to review the whole picture indicated by other aspects within the chart.
