TRANSITING JUPITER DIRECT MOTION

Transiting Jupiter turned retrograde on May 14, 2020 and will become direct once again on September 13, 2020.  When planets, with the exception of Saturn, are in retrograde their energies are stifled and do not experience full and positive release of their energies. 

 

Jupiter, even in retrograde, could still be referred to as positive energies although its fortunate conditions might not be as evident when moving in retrograde motion.  Jupiter stays retrograde for about 120 days during its cycle and moves in retrograde from 10 to 20 degrees. 

 

Jupiter will make a square to the Sun while the Sun is in Libra direct on October 10/11, 2020.  The square often speaks about getting results from whatever was put into motion during Jupiter’s retrograde cycle.  Squares push us ahead as a result of the need to work through situations because they can be challenging.  If we accept that challenge, we can see the return from our efforts.

 

While Jupiter is direct and particularly so when it becomes stationary direct and falls within three degrees of a planet or angle in your chart, its energies are very positive and growth on some degree is often evident.  Jupiter is stationary from September 12 through to the 14 and will be at 17 degrees in the sign of Capricorn.  Check to see which houses are involved to get a clear picture of what areas of life will be involved, if any, in your natal chart.

 

Jupiter has to do with expansion and optimism and during the growth period while Jupiter is direct you can expect potential opportunities and Jupiter should bring good luck into your life.  This, of course, depends on the area of life indicated in your chart.  Even challenging links through hard natal aspects to this position will be somewhat softened due to Jupiter’s mighty influence.  A feeling of good luck and fortunate conditions often prevails under this influence, and in many ways if we follow through, we might very well gain insight and advance during these times.

 

Jupiter can also indicate over-indulgence and in some cases promotes weight gain when connected to the Ascendant, or just a general feeling that we cannot do anything wrong.  Cautious optimism might be what is needed especially if connected to Saturn and perhaps this is a time to recognize authority or situations involving power, especially if Pluto is involved.  However, Pluto brings change and transformation.  Be careful not to step on anyone’s toes.

 

Jupiter will be in direct motion for some time (September 13, 2020 to June 20, 2021) as it moves through Capricorn into Aquarius and then begins its movement into Pisces.  You can see it will make many conjunctions to those with their Sun in these positions over the next several months.  It will also make many other aspects including trines and sextiles as well as squares and oppositions during this time as well.  Use Jupiter’s energies accordingly.  This period can be favourable to many.

ERADICATING NEGATIVITY

  

If we allow ourselves a few moments to reflect on who we are, without condemnation, only paying attention to the most positive traits that comprises our true energy, who are we?

 

We have to come to terms with who we think we are and then disassociate our self from any preconceived negative notion that we have. 

 

Our focus magnifies any concepts of what we choose to identify with and in so doing, we believe ourselves to be what we focus on.  We perceive this focus as our identity.  We have been misled by the belief that if we identify with any concept or notion that these must be part of our identity.

 

We are in a constant state of “becoming”, and what we believe are facets of our true identity only gather in strength and we identify with them as who we are.  If there is something in our makeup that clearly misrepresents who we want to be, then it is in your hands to make a conscious choice as to whether we will allow it to manifest in physical and mental terms.  We are at the command centre and are not at the mercy of our beliefs, unless we believe that we have no control of what transpires in our life.

 

Who you are now is, in part, a formulated concept of what you believe makes up the true you, up until this moment in time.  You have manufactured this identity, and it is your identification with this that makes it real. 

 

You may find that we use the term “identify” over and over again.  It is our hope that this repetition will help you understand and make you aware of the control you have over situations in your lives and the manufacturing of who you are becoming.

 

If there is something within you that you do not like, let it go.  Stop believing that it is a part of who you are.  You, personally, are the only person that makes anything in life truth, including your identification with concepts of all kinds.  We all manifest our beliefs over time and where we are and who we believe we are, now runs in conjunction with what we have allowed to come into our realm of consciousness.

 

The saying goes, “We become who we associate with” and this is why we are told early in life, to pick our friendships with care.  This is true but again, if we are influenced by another’s personality, we have made a choice to accept these characteristics and made them our own. 

 

Our focus allows the trait to grow and expand within us.  Who we are and who we are becoming is a personal choice.  We cannot place responsibility on others.

 

Look within and acknowledge what makes you feel comfortable and content.  Hold on to those qualities.  Acknowledge and release anything that does not resonate with you.  You have been doing this, unconsciously, your whole life.  Now it is time to do it on a conscious level.

MARS TURNS RETROGRADE SEPTEMBER 11

Mars moves approximately ½ to 1 degree each day and it appears to move backwards in the heavens while in retrograde for approximately 56 to 82 days.  It stays stationary about 4 to 6 days under normal conditions. 

 

Mars begins its retrograde cycle on September 11, 2020, when it will be at 28 degrees in the sign of Aries.  On November 14, 2020, it moves back into its direct motion and will be at 15 degrees Aries when it does.  It will touch all of these degrees once again as it moves back into direct motion, finally moving beyond the 28 degree Aries mark in early January, 2021.

 

Mars, while in retrograde motion, will be less aggressive in its energies as it operates in a much softer manner while in retrograde.  Mars in direct motion is fearless and strives to fulfill all its desires.  Mars is considered brave and outgoing and is our push in life to strive to the next level through being assertive and sometimes somewhat intrusive.  Sometimes through retrograde motion, there can be times of reprieve or delays causing some disruption to the normal energies associated with Mars.  There can be delays of action.  Mars is about drive and ambition and this seems stifled.

 

This is not to say that you should not engage in activities that are scheduled during these times of retrograde motion but the energies in place under normal conditions may not be as easy to find during this time.  You will find that if there was a rush to life prior to September, things may very well slow down somewhat.  When Mars once again turns direct in January you may find that the energies, as they have been pent-up, release as a flurry of activities.

 

Have a look at which house/houses Mars transits in your chart during the period mentioned above and also if there are any planets that transiting Mars will make aspect to.  This will define what areas of life will be subdued and how the energies will be spent during this cycle.  Expect a release of energies when Mars turns direct and passes over planets especially by conjunction for the final time.  The retrograde cycle will make three direct hits over any planet it touches - once while in direct motion, then again when it passes over it again in retrograde and then finally when it moves across the same point in its direct motion.  The last pass will be the most influential.

PLAYING BY SPIRITUAL TRUTHS

For those that are taking the journey into spirituality and psychic awareness, there are roads we walk that cannot be tampered with.  There are truths and obligations to uphold, and we have to live within certain boundaries.  Because the road we walk is linked to an understanding that we are our own creators and we mold our lives by our expectations and thought process, we have to adhere to certain principles that those that are not on this road may not know about.

 

You cannot talk the talk without walking the walk.  You have to be your truth not just a conduit for it.  If you play games with truth and know that you are imitating something that you are not, there are consequences of your actions.  This is not to say that you have to walk the straight and narrow, but if you know the principles behind this journey and don’t live them, you will reap our just rewards.

 

Believing in yourself is step one.  Getting to know yourself is the next step, and self-realization comes from exploring the qualities within that shine outward and spread happiness and hope in our world.  It is essential to live that part and have a genuine concern for those that share this experience with you.  We cannot live a lie and expect to fully awaken.  Ultimately, we cannot fool ourselves.  We must be the example of that which we seek.

 

We are neither meant to be self-righteous nor to live life according to someone else’s rules, but we are meant to live life according to our own personal standards.  Compassion and a willingness to share life with others is part of the process, and we cannot pretend to be someone we are not. 

 

It is necessary to be content with whom we are but also be willing to grow and expand as we walk our journey.

 

We can limit or expand our growth by our expectations.  What do we do to our growth by inflated ego or self-importance?  What do we do to our growth when we attempt to appear to be someone or something that we are not?

 

Allow that true inner light to shine through.  Release expectations of who and what you think you should be and allow the real you to shine forward.  You may be pleasantly surprised.

 

If you want to grow in your personal spiritual expression, then be yourself and express your unique individuality.  Do not play games and be honest with yourself.  The best person you can be in this moment is who you truly are.  Be yourself and know that that self is your spiritual connection.

PISCEAN FULL MOON, SEPTEMBER 2, 2020

 We will be experienced the Full Moon today, September 2 at 1:22 a.m. EDT.  The September full moon is called the Corn Moon. 

 

A New Moon is a time for setting goals and the Full Moon in the same sign, some six months later, is a time to reap the rewards and finalizing what you began during the New Moon’s energies. 

 

The Full Moon is a time of harvest, a culmination point, and as with a garden, what you put into the garden and how you maintained and nurtured it during the season defines what you will reap at the end of the cycle.  Effort equals rewards.

 

This Full Moon is at 10 degrees in the sign of Pisces.  Anything mystical or considered psychic might fit into the energies linked to Pisces.  Pisces is a very sensitive sign and deals with intuition, spirituality, dreams and the imagination among other things.  If, for example, you decided to pursue a course in healing and took up Reiki instructions six months ago during the time of the New Moon in Pisces, now would be the time when perhaps you are finished your studies and are at the stage to move into serious practice using what you have been taught.

 

Pisces is linked to the senses and is powerfully connected to emotions and feelings, and if you follow your intuition and are guided by your feelings, you might just be right on target with the plans that now have come to fruition.  Much will depend on the house this Full Moon is found within your birth chart as well as any natal placements that are aspected by this Full Moon at 10 degrees Pisces.  The house is the area of life being affected and by going into the aspects, you can define how these energies will play out on a personal level. 

 

If this Full Moon creates many squares in your natal chart, then the energies can be much more challenging, but the encounter will be powerful enough that it causes you to do something about it.  If the aspects are favorable, then the energies will play out in a more smooth, flowing manner than if the energies were on the challenging side.  Conjunctions bring emphasis and align with whatever the energies are in relation to the planet or angle involved.

 

Do not forget that you have been building on this over the past six months, so if you did your homework and prepared accordingly, you can use these energies to enhance what you initiated then.  Energies peak at the Full Moon and consequences begin to surface and come out into the open. 

 

Your perception will be enhanced, and your visualization techniques will also be augmented.  Some form of enlightenment may be on the horizon and you can ease into what is set into motion. 

 

Push ahead in your endeavors and make changes if change is due and if things are not working out then now would be the time to let things go and prepare for a new start at the next New Moon phase in a couple of weeks.

 

Transiting Uranus is making a trine to this positioning of the Full Moon and what Uranus’ energies are likely to bring forward could be considered somewhat radical.  You may act in ways that you would not otherwise be accustomed to doing.  Uranus speaks of change and a new route due to the need for freedom from anything that no longer serves a viable purpose. 

 

Uranus can bring about change and disruption in sudden and unexpected manners.  Often, we have indicators that tell us that we are in need of a change of direction and if we choose not to follow through then the energies can be unleashed and come through in a much more profound and aggressive manner. 

 

Uranus always works to push us in the direction that now suits our evolutionary path.

 

Enjoy the energies of this Piscean Full Moon.

LET GO OF THE PAST

It can be a blessing to reminisce and recall significant periods in our lives.  Some memories bring back important moments that we hold dear, while others are best left behind.  As we age, we have more experiences to recall and many individuals spend much time reflecting on past events.  Reminiscing can eat up many hours.  Memories live on but the past is gone and what happened in the past, really has little, if any, significance on today.

 

Some individuals get lost in events of the past and unfortunately this steals their current day’s experiences.  They may have been hurt or victimized or someone important to them may have passed away.  Because of these events, they lose sight of the present and all that the present has to offer.  They try to run from the hurt and in many cases they cannot because they remain in the past.  We have to remind ourselves that the only constant is change.  We cannot stay rigid and fixed. 

 

Our reactions to life are personal.  As change presents itself some will feel as though life is being stolen from them, some will feel lack, other may be angry or overcome by sadness and despair but there are others that see life events as a lesson and they accept, adapt, release and live.

 

For some of us, change may seem to be the key that has set up free or has pointed us in a new direction that offers support or hope.  If we truly reflect, we may find that change has been a wonderful gift disguised as a hurdle.  Trauma can be the jolt that is required to shake us out of complacency.  While in the middle of the experience, it can be hard to accept that difficult life events can actually be beneficial and put us on a path of a fulfilling life. 

 

Let go of what used to be, so that the door can open and life is allowed full expression.

 

Recognize the beauty in the moment and take advantage of what life offers within that moment.  Live life to the fullest and experience each and every moment knowing that in some way this moment is for your betterment and that you are always on path even when things do not feel that way.

PROGRESSED SUN CONJUNCT THE MIDHEAVEN OR ASCENDANT

The progressed Sun moves one degree per year.  Its influence when in aspect would be in effect for three years and can be felt as much as one and one-half degrees before it becomes direct and the same period after it moves away from being exact. 

 

The progressed Sun, just as the natal Sun, relates to ambition, power and authority.  It also governs our vitality and our ability to recuperate from illnesses.  It often identifies the husband in a woman’s chart or the father as well as authority figures in life such as your superiors within the working environment, but it is also related to you on a deep and personal level.

 

When the progressed Sun is in conjunction with the natal Ascendant, it can be a time of advancement in life on many levels.  This could include favourable opportunities for change in life and opportunities for inner achievement and outer success.  It could also mean potential for meeting someone in life that has a great influence over you and will teach you many life lessons.  It could also suggest that the father, or in some cases your son, has these opportunities.   These influences are on a positive note if there are other conditions within the chart that suggest similar opportunities.

 

The progressed Sun on the Ascendant often suggests that the health is robust, and feelings linked to good health is often a by-product.  Much depends on the influence of other transits and progressions affecting the Ascendant during its three-year period of influence.

 

When the progressed Sun is in conjunction to the Midheaven, depending on the age of the individual, they may find advancement opportunities in the occupation or may graduate from University.  Some of life’s objectives often materialize when the progressed Sun reaches this degree.  More opportunities for hopes and wishes to manifest are often indicated when the Progressed Sun reaches the MC.  Changes of a positive sort to life’s status may occur or present themselves.  Much depends on the natal potential, but the time is ripe for opportunities to enhance the career or move ahead in life.

 

If the Progressed Sun is conjunct the MC, it would also be in opposition to the IC often suggesting changes to the home environment and family members.  Oppositions usually imply actions from someone else and this could suggest that a son or possibly a daughter might move from home especially if Venus or Mars is somehow connected to this position.  There may be potential for income or opportunities involving the home.  More potential is suggested when the Progressed Sun is in conjunction to the IC, as conjunctions offer more opportunities than oppositions.  Oppositions often suggest reversals or challenging conditions that usually stem from others.

 

When someone is very young, the MC and IC axis often have to do with the parents.  In many cases the IC has connections to the Mother, while the MC has connections to the Father.  However, the IC may also be connected to the parent that is most nurturing while the MC may speak of the parent with the most influence as far as goals go.

 

When deciphering the Progressed Sun always take into consideration the natal potential and transits and progressions to the chart as a whole.  Remember there has to be three or more aspects of similarity to stimulate an event, either through transit or progression.  The more aspects involved the greater the possibility for an event to occur.
