TRANSITING PLUTO AND VENUS SQUARE

November of 2020 and Pluto is currently around the 23/24-degree mark of Capricorn and moving as far ahead as 26 degrees almost 27 degrees into April 2021 then going into retrograde motion where it stays until October 2021.

Pluto’s energies transform and regenerate and often suggest that an end of sorts is on the horizon. Of course, there will need to be other factors in the Astrology chart suggesting something similar. Pluto seeks to change things that no longer are suitable for our evolutionary quest. Quite often we will get nudges along the way which prepare us ahead of time of what is approaching.

 

Pluto is an outer planet (yes I still refer to Pluto as a planet) and as a result often brings change and disruption that in many ways appears out of our control. Pluto linked up with Saturn at around 22 to 23 degrees of Capricorn in January of 2020 intensifying the energies as they merge as one.  We all know what unfolded around that time. If you had planets aligned natally at that time to this connection, you would have been influenced by this conjunction and likely in a very powerful way. There is nothing that would be considered half-way about Pluto and there is likely to be some struggle about steadiness and the need for change which will cause disruptions.

 

Venus has to do with love and affection and is also related to the finances. Venus is also connected to young women or women in general. The Moon is more representative of the mother than Venus so unless you have the Moon in aspect at the same time, the woman that might be involved is likely not your mother.  Venus also has to do with socializing and when connected to Pluto the likelihood of transformations involving gatherings may unfold.

 

Venus is a very social planet and represents our ability to be hospitable and even generous. If linked with Jupiter in the natal chart, the generosity part of this aspect is generally increased and a jovial and often carefree and open attitude is part of the natal profile for those with this aspect interacting with Jupiter in their birth chart.

 

If love and affection is part of the picture under this influence, the square often suggests that there is a testing period especially when Natal Saturn is involved. If things are not subject to transformation, the potential for an ending of sorts is likely. Squares usually imply obstacles to be overcome and stressful conditions are at hand; however, they also suggest that due to stressful conditions, we are pushed to make changes or life itself presents us with the necessary change that is a requirement for the soul’s evolution. We actually need stressful aspects in order to propel ahead in life.

 

What takes place will depend on the houses involved. We must look into the house transiting Pluto is moving through as well as the house where Transiting Venus is located to get a clearly picture of which areas of life are involved. If, for example, the second house is part of the picture then finances and security issues are likely part of what is taking place. If it is the fifth or seventh house involved then partnerships, either marriage partnership or romantic partnerships, or it could also have something to do with your children, which is fifth house related.

 

You should also have a look at the natal placement of Pluto and Venus to see if they are connected. The natal profile must always be taken into consideration when delineating transits. The whole chart and its transits will jointly relay the information for any current life events.

TRANSITING JUPITER SQUARE VENUS NOVEMBER 15

November 12 to November 21 2020, transiting Jupiter in the sign Capricorn and Venus in the sign of Libra will be in square to one another. Neither Jupiter or Venus are in retrograde and if you allow a three-degree orb approaching and a two-degree orb of separation, this will be the time that the square energies will be in effect.  The strongest dates will be November 15, 16 and 17, 2020.  If you have planets in the natal chart close to the degrees (approximately 20 to 24 degrees) of these transiting planets, your natal planets will be affected.

 

Jupiter and Venus together, known as the greater and lesser fortunate, have much in common. The energies of both these planets harvest good fortune, bring happiness and love and also influence an appreciation for life’s magical moments.

 

Jupiter expands everything it touches, and Venus brings love and affection to the forefront. Both planets speak of financial opportunities and both bring good luck and good times to the forefront. We wait for these two planets to combine in the sky and make aspects to our natal positioning of planets and significant points.

 

The only potential problems with this combination (because this aspect we are discussing is a square which usually suggests some challenging conditions along with hurdles to overcome) is if this is a time of love and romance (which is often suggested with Venus in the picture) you may blow things a little out of proportion. As mentioned, Jupiter expands on things and makes life fortunate and appealing when joined with Venus. Make sure that what you are experiencing is as huge as it feels, particularly so if Neptune plays a part in this equation.

 

In general, affection and love are part of the process, but there are circumstances that the person you are attracted to can bring hardships. This, however, should not stop you from pursuing the person of your dreams if they are who you believe them to be. Be sure to see them for who they truly are and do not build on something that is created only in your mind. You may find that you are a bit impulsive at this time, jumping without proper forethought is not advised.

 

This can be a great time for socializing and just plain having fun. Enjoy life; have fun with the energies at hand. Some individuals will travel during this time and find love and affection during these travels. Although due to the pandemic, travel may not be advised. Once again, see everything for what it truly is and understand that the relationships with many of those we meet under this aspect can be short lived especially if Uranus is involved in the equation.

 

You will probably enjoy the wide-open spaces and the beauty that surrounds you, but you really do not need to travel to find this. Often this is right in your own back yard.

 

Watch for overspending and the feeling that nothing can go wrong. It probably will not but never put yourself in situations where you leave yourself vulnerable (This is especially true if Mars or Pluto are involved).

 

Enjoy these energies.

MAKE PEACE

 You can’t find peace in your surroundings or from your interaction with others. 

 

The only way to find peace is to make peace and the only way to make peace is to create it within yourself.  You create peace by being peace; peace comes from within.  Peace comes from acceptance.

 

What are your expectations? 

 

How do you experience peace when your expectations are not in touch with peace? 

 

You form your reality over time by your belief structure.  How then can you experience peace when your expectations say something different?

 

It has been argued that expectations are based on what has been experienced in life.  What this says is that the only things that are possible are the things you have already experienced.  There is truth to this statement.  Why would anything change if you base your expectations only on what life has brought before this time?  How can you possibly expect anything different when this is where you choose to place your expectations?

 

It is not as difficult as you could imagine to begin to filter out negative reactions to life’s events.  You can change your attitude at any time, as long as you are aware of your attitude.  You have to recognize what your thought patterns are and accept that they are created by you. 

 

Thoughts are ego interference, but as long as you identify with these thoughts, you make them your own. 

 

It really is that simple. 

 

Pay attention to your thoughts, your actions and your reaction.  Purposely refocus your thoughts in a positive direction.  See the lesson but see the benefit of the lesson.  It will take a little practice but realistically you can do it this moment and the change, if you believe that is, can happen right now, in this moment. 

 

Do not wait until tomorrow to make that conscious change.  Do it now. 

 

Make a conscious choice to be the master of your own life and focus on what makes you happy.  Life can be filled with joy and optimism.  It is a choice.  Peace is within; experience it.

PROGRESSED JUPITER

Jupiter’s energies deal with fair play.  It reflects moral and religious involvements.  Jupiter brings expansion, good luck and optimistic potentials.  It is the planet of growth in material terms as well as expansion when it comes to life’s circumstances and how you can relate to all of this from a positive perspective.  When Jupiter makes positive aspects to other planets and points in the Zodiac, there are great opportunities for conditions to turn out favourably. 

 

The house position occupied by progressed Jupiter is where you will find opportunities to gain knowledge.  Jupiter also has to do with travel, courts of law and lawsuits.  In general, when Jupiter progresses through the chart, these or some of these areas of life may be highlighted, especially if Jupiter happens to be in the ninth house.  Jupiter also governs publishing, higher education and learning through experience.

 

Each house’s cusp advances one degree per year through progression.  Jupiter moves slower than the progressed houses and it is important to notice where Jupiter is in the natal chart and the houses it moves through during progression.  These few houses (can be only one and usually not more than three in a life time) will become areas of life that are affected by the progression of Jupiter in your chart.

 

You will also need to take into consideration any aspects that might come into play from the other progressed planets as well as transiting planets that make contacts during Jupiter’s slow movement through your specific house(s).

 

If Jupiter passes across your MC (Midheaven) the opportunities for growth in your profession has great potential especially if it is well aspected.  You will also have to look at the overall condition of Jupiter in your natal chart as this will determine how great the success will be.  A poorly aspected natal Jupiter does not promote in ways that a well aspected Jupiter does. 

 

When (and if) Jupiter passes over your MC, you may have opportunities for a promotion or may gain positive influence from people of higher positions.  Travel or relocation might be on the agenda during the year Jupiter sits directly on the angles.  I personally use an orb of 20 minutes for Jupiter as it approaches and 15 minutes when it separates in progressions. 

 

Progressed Jupiter on the ASC (ascendant) opens the door in very personal ways with less restrictions or obstacles for you.  It might indicate a new relationship or expansion in the family.  Prosperity and good luck seem to find their way to you.  Since Jupiter has to do with law suits and legalities, when Jupiter is on the Ascendant or Midheaven, the potential for legal things to go well are increased.

 

Jupiter on the DC (descendant) once again offers opportunities for marriage or opportunities to promote a new organization or affiliation with someone who can be of benefit to you in a business opportunity. 

 

Jupiter on the IC suggests changes within the home or with family members usually on a positive note.  It is a good time to buy real estate or your monetary values in these areas may increase.  However as mentioned previously, always take into consideration other transits and review what they are indicating.  Also a reminder to review the overall condition of Jupiter is in the birth chart to get the complete story.

JUDGEMENT

 We all know the saying “You can't understand someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes.”  How could we possibly understand someone if we are unaware of their life’s circumstances or experience life from their view point?

 

We always need to view life through their eyes to have a glimmer of understanding of the complexities in their lives.  What do they experience on a regular basis whether by events or attitude?  How does their mind react to conditions?

 

Early influence and upbringing is often at the core of our relationships and our way of handling events.  There are so many factors that create our reactions.  Were we mentally abused?  Did our parents have addictions?  Were our parents too busy to make time for us?  Was violence a daily norm?  Was love freely shared?

 

We all have our reasons for our attitudes and reactions in life.  That being said, I would be remiss if I did not add that we also have a choice to deal with the trauma these influences have created.  These influences do not have to define us. 

 

How can we judge someone else’s responses to life without clearly understanding the why behind these actions and responses?  One step further….why do we have to judge them?  Eliminate a judgement reaction and replace it with a compassionate reaction.

 

Again, why do we react with judgement?  The one thing we have control over is our reactions.  Let’s deal with that.  Learning to eliminate judgement and replace it with compassion and a loving intent can change the world.  Our own reaction can either compound a situation or it can offer a solution.  Which end result has the positive outcome?

 

Our reaction to people and events has an influence.  Do we allow ego to compound a situation or do we step forward with love and compassion? 

 

If we can be mindful with our responses and not react to situations, we can not only create peace for someone around us but we can create peace for ourselves.  Judgement of others serves no one!

TRANSITING MARS GOING DIRECT

Transiting Mars has been in retrograde since September 9, 2020.  Mars has been in the sign of Aries which is its natural placement.  Mars will return to direct motion on November 14, 2020. 

 

Mars traditionally is suggestive of energy directed outward.  During its retrograde cycle, those affected by this transit may have felt stagnated in their efforts and with little or no energy.  This is particularly true if you have a natal planet in conjunction (the most powerful aspect), square or opposition to transiting Mars.

 

The energy is turned inward, which is not a comfortable expression for Mars.  You may have felt as though you could not release your inner drive and motivate yourself in a forward direction.  You may feel a release of energy once it turns direct again and whatever you may have felt being held back, may now come to the forefront and be released.  Make sure that the release of these energies is not let lose in too much of an aggressive manner, even if you have felt thwarted in the past.

 

If, for example, you have had a conjunction with the Moon, you may have felt as though your emotions have been on hold or even though you had strong inner emotions to life’s events and situations, you have not been able to release them.  This could include wanting to make a change in your life. 

 

Your emotions have been so stifled that it has kept you at bay and nothing seemed to move the way you wanted it to.  All you really wanted to do was to express how you felt on an emotion level but this did not happen.  After Mars turns direct, you may now be able to do what you have wanted to do for what seemed like an eternity.

 

If Saturn were involved in the equation, Saturn’s energies would possibly have worked to your advantage as you may have needed this retrograde cycle to examine all the details before plunging into some activity.  This was a time for review and examining all the details to make sure that you were sure footed enough before you moved ahead.  Saturn normally restricts action and suggests that you build a proper foundation before you move ahead and your drive might have been held back so you could make things right.  Once Mars goes direct again, you may be ready to move ahead in your endeavours. 

 

Mars is also about sexual energies and sexual drive and you may have felt as though you were stifled in this area as well.  Perhaps you wanted to pursue a sexual union with someone you were interested in and the timing never seemed appropriate.  You may find once Mars goes direct that things move along in ways that were previously stagnated or held back.  Just make sure that your feelings go beyond sex and that you actually care about this individual.  Mars tends to be overly aggressive when it comes to sex and the sexual drive, especially when it moves through Scorpio or Aries.

 

Check which houses transiting Mars is moving through as these will be areas of life involved in the process.  Also you will need to know which houses are involved with other planetary energies and how they may surface or fail to surface during the retrograde cycle and again when Mars goes direct. 

 

The placement of natal Mars by house position will also be highlighted.  Transiting Mars may pass over planets or significant areas of the natal chart (ascendant and midheaven) three times as it goes through the retrograde and direct cycles making these areas of extreme importance.  If Mars stations on a planet or significant point in the birth chart, these energies will also be noteworthy.  Mars will move from 28 degrees through to 15 degrees all in the sign of Aries.  Watch for stationary direct and stationary retrograde which in this case are at 15 and 28 degrees.

 

Enjoy the release of Mars’ energies in a couple of weeks.

BLUE MOON OCTOBER 31, 2020

 We will be experiencing a Blue Moon (rare second full moon on the month) in the sign of Taurus on October 31, 2020 at 10:49 a.m. EDT.  This Full Moon’s sign is (Taurus) a very stable and reliable sign, indicative of security and steadiness especially related to earthly matters.  This would include the financial institutions, building and maintenance, the structures that have been put in place to create composure and reliability in worldly matters.  Taurus can be counted on to create stability and structure, working towards a slow and steady approach to goals that will stand the test of time. 

 

The Full Moon is at 8 degrees Taurus.  Transiting Uranus on this date will be conjunct the Full Moon out only by 8 minutes.  This is considered a very powerful and tight conjunction and Uranus is known for its erratic behavior.  Uranus has to do with the need to break free of any form of restrictions and pushes ahead to make sudden and often unexpected changes towards reform and new horizons.  Uranus is not at home in the sign of Taurus and is in its Fall when it comes to dignities in Astrology.  Here is a link with a little more information on the dignities  www.holmastrology.blogspot.com/2014/04/exaltation-detriment-and-fall.html

 

This means that Uranus in the sign of Taurus is a place where you have to work harder to overcome Taurus tendencies.  The reliability of Taurus and the unpredictable behavior of Uranus are at odds with one another.  Over time disruption to the norm can be expected although over the long haul and although different from what we are accustomed to, this change will be what is required.

 

Disruption to the economy is currently a world matters.  Some form of rebellion and upheaval can also be forecasted, but over time this new foundation is what will be required in order to move in the proper direction putting us back on a more enlightened path.

 

A Full Moon’s energies speak of the culmination of events that have taken place during the New Moon cycle some six months ago.  What was begun when the New Moon was in Taurus will now be at its finishing point and the harvest of what was begun at that time now reaches fruition. 

 

On a personal level check to see which houses are involved as the Sun and Moon are in opposition although the Full Moon is more indicative of the Lunar placement.  This will be the area of life that is personally affected at this time and you can expect changes to take place, particularly so if you have planets making conjunctions or oppositions along with squares and to a lesser degree trines and sextiles to this placement (Taurus 8 degrees).
