HOUSE POLARITIES, INTEGRATING YOUR OPPOSITIONS (BY HOUSE) (Part one)

 When we are deciphering a natal chart we often come across oppositions.  For those that are unfamiliar with what oppositions are in the natal chart, here is a quick definition:

 

An opposition involves a minimum of two planets which are found at opposite ends of the chart.  The angle of separation is 180 degrees.  We allow an orb of up to ten degrees of separation, so any two planets that are between 170-190 degrees apart from one another are defined as oppositions.   The tighter the orb (closer to 180 degrees), the stronger the opposition in an Astrology chart.  A direct opposition will be 180 degrees in separation and will be a very powerful agent in the horoscope.

 

When we have oppositions in the natal chart defined by house positions, we are torn in two separate directions.  The houses define the areas of life involved in this aspect.  There is a strong need to find a release valve between these two opposing forces.  In many cases we will need to take into consideration the planets involved in the equation, as the energies of one planet can certainly overpower the energies of the other planet.  However, these planets need to find expression and often one will dominate the other, but remember, they are opposing forces.

 

An example might be Saturn in the second house in opposition to Uranus in the eighth house.  Saturn seeks security either from an internal standpoint through finding a concrete evaluation of self-reliance or through hard work and internal reliability and a willingness to look within for reassurance, or as the second house deals with financial security, through money and the security it can bring. 

 

Uranus is quite opposite in its energies.  While Saturn seeks structure and reliability, Uranus seeks freedom of expression and freedom to move in whatever direction it wishes, as well as new and innovated ways of integrating information into our lives.  Saturn seeks out is tried and tested and Uranus pushes for change and learning from new adventures. 

 

The eighth house deals with joint finances, the occult teachings, inner reflection and big business among other things.  The energies of Uranus in this position might seek out ways of joining finances to find shared resolutions to any financial crisis, but in a larger sense wants to explore avenues of expression linked to the occult and spiritual understanding.  It wants to open the door to these concepts.

 

In our example, Saturn seeks out ways to establish concrete financial security using slow meticulous methods, while Uranus wants to explore ways related to financial structures through joint finances that entail something new and exciting pushing in a new direction. 

 

This example may also be saying that Saturn is looking to achieve internal security through planning, organizing and structuring life in such a way that it promotes security that lasts the long haul.  Uranus on the other hand may seek out independence through becoming involved in the teachings of the occult and the practice of reaching beyond what is considered safe and known.

 

We are going to continue our look at house polarities and oppositions in our next astrology post on January 15, 2021.

AN IMPORTANT ROLE

 All lives are significant.  All lives are important.  Do not think otherwise. 

 

Each of us has a role to honor.  We each have a part to play and everyone has something of importance to offer, without exception.

 

We all have our own unique gifts to offer, whether we recognize them or not.  We have important information to pass on to those around us, and we are all part of this evolutionary process taking place on our earth at any given moment in time.

 

We are the forerunners of the current shift.  Many are awakening.  It is significant to recognize that we have come into this incarnation at this particular time in human history to play our part in the unfolding story.  Why now?  Why us?  Are these answers important? 

 

Take the time to recognize your own personal significance and just how important your life is, not only for yourself but for others. 

 

Never lose sight of the fact that you are spiritual in nature.  You have come into this life in human form to utilize the lessons needed for your spiritual evolution. 

 

We are spirit in the form of humans, living a relatively short tangible existence.  Remember who you are.  You are a piece of the whole!

NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN JANUARY 13, 2021

 On January 13, 2021 at 12:02 a.m. EST, we will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Capricorn at 23 degrees.  Capricorn, an earth sign, has a great deal to do with achievement particularly in the area of business.  Those with planets within three degrees by conjunction, opposition and square have the potential of starting something new that lines up with the area of life dictated by this lunar position.  New Moons enhance the energies of new beginnings.

 

This is the time to planet seeds using instinctual guidance to push you forward in the direction of choice.  This is fertile ground for beginnings linked to moving up the corporate ladder or investments in enterprise that seem feasible at the time of this Capricorn New Moon energy.  Your intuition might offer some guidance although careful thought and due diligence provide the best results. 

 

This is not the time to rush into situations.  Listen to advice from those in positions of authority or those that have experience.  Guidance can be crucial in moving ahead.

 

Pluto is conjunct this position at 24 degrees Capricorn and Pluto has been known to move ahead in a rather dramatic manner leaving no stone unturned and making permanent changes that have long lasting effects.  Pluto will transform how life may have been up to this point and what you start now can have profound effects down the road.  In some six months when we experience the Full Moon in Capricorn, you will see what unfolds.  This usually is indicative with the energies and effort put into this next six-month period.  What you put out is reflected in the final outcome and particularly with the Sign Capricorn.  With Capricorn it is imperative that you do not take any shortcuts.  Tried and tested methods might bring forth the greatest results.

 

If this conjunction happens to take place in the fourth house for example perhaps what you push ahead with now may be related to investing in real estate or venturing ahead with plans on selling your home.  Perhaps you may have to put one of your parents into a home over this next period and in most cases this refers to the most sensitive and nurturing parent.  Perhaps now it is time for you to show your nurturing abilities.

 

If this conjunction takes place in the tenth house, for example, perhaps you find that you are in the process of changing jobs or picking a new path that offers greater stability and structure in the long haul.  Your goals and objectives may change and what was in place prior to this period may be totally transformed by the time this period is over. 

 

Regeneration in the work place may be part of the picture if the sixth house or health regimens may be high on the priority list.

 

Whatever you decide to push ahead with, do it well, to the best of your abilities and take your time making changes along the way to help finalize things as you progress.  This is a time for building structure and providing stability.  Make sure your foundation is a solid one that will stand the test of time.

JUPITER IN TRANSIT

 Jupiter is known as the great benefactor and often extends good luck and opportunities when it makes contact with planets while transiting through the horoscope.  Jupiter’s energies are what we wait for and it brings with it expansion on many levels related to the house position that it is transiting through and the areas of life represented by those positions.

 

It will bring beneficial opportunities and success into life unless the planet it touches is severely afflicted in the natal chart or poorly aspected by other transiting planets.  In this case, there are times when one becomes expectant of something good happening and overestimates the outcome. 

 

When Jupiter makes aspects especially by trine or sextile and in most cases conjunctions to the Sun, Venus, the Ascendant, the midheaven and even the north node, opportunities for advancement are likely.  When these planets and important points are aspected adversely, opportunities still present themselves, but you may have to work harder for lesser results. 

 

Saturn is basically the only planet that suggests challenging conditions linked to Jupiter unless it is really well aspected in the birth chart.

 

Jupiter deals with religion, spirituality, philosophy and is often tied to higher learning.  It does rule law and the legal system and there are times when Jupiter aspects a planet or is moving through the ninth house that legalities are enhanced and opportunities for a successful conclusion are more likely.  It may work in your favor but not always in as big of a return as is expected.  Jupiter does sometimes bring just what you are asking for so it is important to ask for what is appropriate and to find satisfaction in all outcomes.

 

Even the squares and oppositions when involved with Jupiter seem to bring more benefits than when these oppositions are associated with other planetary energies.  Just watch for overextending yourself during these times as Jupiter tends to expand everything it touches. 

 

Some people gain weight when Jupiter crosses over the Ascendant. 

 

If there are other energies that suggest that there is the potential for things not working out, Jupiter can expand on these energies although in most cases it helps rather than hinders. 

 

Jupiter almost always promises opportunities for expansion and growth so take advantage of these times in your life and make Jupiter work for and with you.

JUST BELIEVE

 The only thing to fear is fear itself.  We have heard that saying many times before.  There is a reason why this message has been around for so long. 

 

Understanding the origin of fear will perhaps provide us with a clearer awareness of precisely why fear is generated. 

 

Fear was a primal instinct.  Some respond to fight, other respond to flight.  It is in place in order to survive. 

 

Our fear response is not required in our civilized world of today as it was in days gone by.  Our fear response in today’s society is more of an ego base response.   It is more of a fear of failure or embarrassment than a fear of not surviving.  Today’s fear response is not a part of the true self. 

 

We cannot conquer fear until we accept that fear is a concept that stems from the ego.

 

Fear has many faces.  It can come at us from all directions and in many forms.  Fear is believing in something that prevents you from reaching the truth.  Fear in its many forms can reveal itself through  not feeling you are worthy, that you are not good enough, not pure enough, not smart enough, not capable, not intelligent enough, or simply not able to achieve what you set out to do.

 

It is related to your beliefs and concepts of what you accept is the truth for you.  How often do you hold yourself back because a part of you, your ego, tells you that you will not succeed?  How often because of this ego-generated fear do you stop yourself short, because of your expectations of potential failure? 

 

Truth is found within.  You are your truth.  If you choose to believe that you cannot do something, you have just drawn the line and a large part of you believes that in moving forward there is a potential for failure, so you let the idea go.  That part of you that you are identifying with is the ego and it creates interference and stops you from accomplishing something, anything. 

 

In order to achieve, you have to recognize and release that ego holds you back.  Recognize that this is not part of the true you.

 

If you follow the advice of the ego and make it part of your belief structure, then the chances for success slips away.  You will not succeed because you have chosen to believe your will not succeed.  This is a choice. 

 

Acknowledge to yourself that it serves no purpose to identify with anything that does not make you happy.  Do not identify with anything that will not serve a higher purpose.  Heighten your awareness and open the floodgates so that your true self can shine through.

 

Your belief structures, particularly the belief you have in the outcome will play a very significant role in what actually takes place in your life.  Fear is generated through the ego and rests in this place.  Challenging any negative belief structure and learning not to identify with ego generated concepts, will transform what is ahead for you.  The outcome of your actions plays a significant part in your awakening to the fact that the ego is the only thing that stops you from achieving and moving forward.

 

Today’s fear is the ego’s strongest defense and an alliance with fear can manipulate your unfolding to the point of stagnation. 

 

We are not suggesting that you put yourself in harm’s way to achieve but what we are suggesting is that you move beyond the fear being generated that stops you from succeeding.  Let your intuition be your guide.  Do not let the ego stand in your way. 

 

You can accomplish anything, so make your pursuit in life a worthy one.  Take the steps required to achieve and bring into life something that will not only benefit you but will also serve a higher purpose for those around you.  You can gauge your efforts by asking yourself, “is what I am in search of coming from the heart”?  If your answer is yes then move forward in anticipation of something positive manifesting in your life. 

 

You can do it.  You can find it.  You have all you need.  Just believe!

NORTH NODE IN AQUARIUS

 Today we are continuing our focus on the North Node and will look specifically at North Node in Aquarius.  Please read our introduction contained in our post on November 30 www.holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/49548847-north-node-in-aries to get an understanding of the overall influence of the North and South Nodes.  It will assist you in understanding the information we are about to provide for the North Node in Aquarius. 

 

With the North Node in Aquarius, the South Node, which is always exactly opposite to the North Node, would be in the sign of Leo.  The North Node is the path ahead or for some the path already in motion.  The North Node’s positioning in the sign of Aquarius suggests that this individual is here to pursue humanitarian endeavors.  For some this positioning suggests notoriety or working together towards a goal that benefits all.  Group involvement can be important in this life and if they are not meant to lead the group, they are encouraged to share their ideologies within that group or on a larger scale.

 

These individuals are not here to gain recognition and promote themselves which was likely part of the profile with the South Node is in Leo.  These individuals are here to pursue a path that leads to enlightenment and as they are encouraged to follow this route, they can in turn share it with others.  They may find that many others do not understand their ideas and perceptions, and some individuals may not be ready to hear the Aquarius North Node’s message.  This may be due, at least in part, to the fact that Aquarius North Node individuals are somewhat ahead of their time.  Because of this, they can lose some of their followers but opening the door to greater insight is the prime objective for themselves and for others.

 

The water bearer is their Astrological symbol, and this is what they are here to do.  They are here to open the door and bring insight, in turn leaving behind anything that holds them back or others back from achieving this.  They are here to overthrow or distract others, so they move away from any primitive matters that no longer suit their evolutionary path forward.  There is a movement taking place in our world and these individuals are part of it.  Complacency is not part of the path and reluctance to advance a cause is not the answer. 

 

Do not forget that the North Node is not an easy path as it is unfamiliar, but life will push us in whatever direction our North Node is suggesting.

 

New fields in Science may be a part of the profile as the Aquarius North Node individual forges ahead sometimes in quick unexpected manners.  There can be sudden realizations and intuitive insight and flashes of intellectual supremacy although ego is not involved.  This is due to Uranus’s input as it is the ruling planet of Aquarius and sometimes moves in unexpected and rather dynamic ways.  These individuals can expect the unexpected in this lives and profound insight with new and unexpected revelations will be part of the path ahead. 

 

Technology can be taught through education but a lot of what these individuals are searching for will be innate and found within.  Inner guidance is strong, and they may find that although they connect with people in their circle with the same views, they are somewhat alone on this journey.  They know they are different from most, but are comfortable with this knowledge.

 

Awakening to truth is the objective and Aquarius North Node will discover it through life’s experience and unforeseen acts and coincidences that can occur when they least expect them.  Although the path ahead is a little unpredictable, they will move ahead when the timing is right, often put in place by transits and progressions to the Nodes in their Astrology chart. 

 

Be open and have faith in what is yet to come.  It will be all-inspiring.

TRUST YOUR INTUITION

There are many ways to determine if your gut instinct is telling you fact or fiction.  The best route and most reliable factor is aligned with your intuitional insight.  We all have intuition and it works with us when we are confused about the outcome or when we are making a decision.  Sometimes we can be apprehensive about making the right decisions, and this is when our intuition can provide us with the right answers for moving forward.

 

Our intuition is the guiding factor and although it is good to question and analyze life situations, in general, our intuition is a guide from within that helps us make choices that can have a profound effect on our life’s direction.  We instinctively know what is right and should move in that direction without hesitation once we allow intuition to lead us in a particular path.

 

Sometimes we can get so caught up in a situation and we cannot, for the life of us, make a decision.  We are worried that it may be wrong and we are completely out of our comfort zone.  It is surprising how we humans can become complacent and find ways to adapt to life’s situations even when everything tells us to make a change or move in a different direction.  Change is uncomfortable and fear often stands in our way, as the outcome of our actions is not always clear.

 

We must find ways to trust the voice within and allow our instinct to help us through life’s challenges. 

 

Have faith in the process. We are not suggesting however that we just move out of a situation without full consideration and a plan of action.  Sometimes the path ahead looks murky and we are afraid of where it might lead us.  Part of us, however, knows when it is the right thing to do.

 

Sometimes when we do make that final commitment, the transition itself can be tedious and challenging but over time, life does settle in and we will see that what we did was the road we were meant to take. 

 

Sometimes we need to put ourselves first and to take that leap of faith.  So when spending a lot of time trying to find a solution to a problem, let life lead and follow your intuition.  Be wise; take that first step and see where it takes you.
