A VOTE OF CONSCIENCE

 In our changing environment we have to adapt to life circumstances and push to live to our potential.  Above all else, we need to live in accordance with our conscience.  We have to do what we believe is right and not only do what is right for us.  We also have to adapt to an attitude that what we choose to do has a positive influence on others. 

 

There are many self-righteous individuals in roles that affect the multitudes and how they conduct themselves in many ways affects us directly.  It becomes far too easy to conduct ourselves in the same fashion as the example in front of us.  As a result, it is imperative to be mindful of our actions and not to mirror what is in front of us. 

 

If there is an opportunity to right a wrong, should we take it? 

 

Are we undermining others if we attempt to change things for the betterment of the many?  

 

There is no worth to our values if we are not committed to them.  Sometimes we need to make a stand and do what is right and just.  Sometimes we, as a whole, can make changes that will in turn affect many and prove to be valuable in times to come. 

 

We are all affected by the actions of others which makes it imperative for influential individuals to keep the best interests of the whole in focus.

 

Ego can be a tyrant.  We have seen many examples of individuals in influential positions making decisions that tend to corruption where there should be integrity. 

 

Do not justify your actions because of other’s actions.  We should be ruled by our hearts not by greed and self-importance. 

 

Should our own material gain be priority to those in need? 

 

Should our own material personal gain not factor in the good we can do for others? 

 

When we promote love and compassion with integrity and trustworthiness we will capture the hearts of others and these qualities will then surrounds us.

 

It is up to each and every one of us to uphold our loving values in our own personal life and to stand by our truth and by doing so, we create a loving community around us.

THE MARS/URANUS CONJUNCTION JANUARY 20 & 21, 2021

 The Full Moon occurring on January 27, 2020 is in the sign of Leo, the king of the jungle, the ruler, the leader and as this approaching energy is a Full Moon, it speaks of culmination points.  It is interesting to note that just prior to this date (January 20/21) transiting Uranus and transiting Mars are conjunct at 6 degrees in the sign of Taurus and within the framework of this upcoming Full Moon. 

 

The conjunction between Uranus and Mars is a volatile combination.  The energies of Mars (war and aggression) align with Uranus (revolution and change) and this is the date of the inauguration of the new President into office in the US.  Mars and Uranus do not sit well together, and unfortunately anything is possible. 

 

These two planets will be in square to this Full Moon positioning, Mars 9 degrees and Uranus almost at 7 both in Taurus on January 27, 2021.  This should bring some stabilizing influence, but likely some challenging conditions, particularly in around January 20/21 when the energies are the strongest. 

 

Because Uranus and Mars are both timing factors in Astrology, these dates are significant.  Squares are troublesome and bring challenging situations into the framework of the energies created by this approaching Full Moon’s positioning.  The good or favorable conditions that may follow are due to the fact that squares are so troubling that they force us into action.  We are pushed to resolve the conflict.

 

Mars is the planet of aggressive force or drive and the planet of action.  Sometimes the energies in place are taken by premeditated action, but more often than not by a stimulation from within or from outside forces that pushes one into action without forewarning.  Mars is often behind arguments and confrontations, but when the energies are applied appropriately, Mars can be used as a driving force towards achievement.  Mars is what pushes us into action and drives us ahead in life towards the manifestation of our dreams and life objectives.  Without Mars, there would be little in the area of achievement and our eventual success.

 

In the sign of Taurus, our actions are more restricted, and this energy may go through vigorous planning before we actually move ahead.  There is less of a chance of jumping headfirst into situations and we will likely take our time before moving ahead.  The actions are more deliberate and thought out.

 

Uranus, on the other hand, seeks change and often through revolution although the plan is associated with furthering a cause or creating change that disrupts the norm, because the norm no longer suits the growth that is required.  Uranus although it can be disruptive, and erratic, it pushes us in the intended direction.  In the sign of Taurus, Uranus will act more on instinct and want to serve a purpose that fosters the solidification of something that is lasting and for the betterment of all concerned.

 

Together, although likely disruptive, these two planets can bring in a new direction for us all that will open the door to insight and further our evolutionary quest.  It does point in a new direction that hopefully will bring brotherhood and the realization that we all walk this road together and share the consequences of our actions. 

 

“Think before you jump” could be the motto for the upcoming energy.  It is important to make sure that violence is not the route to change and that a peaceful solution is not only possible, but on the priority list.

VENTURE FORTH

 The door in front of you is waiting to be opened. 

 

There is no special key and there are no obstructions in the way.  The only thing standing in the way of it opening is you. 

 

Your perception and your attitude either holds you back or pushes you forward.  Each one of us is offered that same passage regardless of past or present conditions.  The answers are available to everyone.

 

Do not hold yourself back.  Understand that the door is not locked. Open it and walk through! 

 

The minute you take that first step life begins to shift.  It is your obligation to “you” to venture forward.  Start your quest for truth.  Know that truth is always available if you care to ask.

 

Do not be one of those individuals that hold back because of self-image.  You are worthy.  It IS there for you.  Everything is available to you. 

 

It is never too late or too early. 

 

Some may even question whether there is a door there at all.  Again, remember your perception and your attitude either holds you back or pushes you forward.

 

You are the master of your destiny.  You can walk through that door if you allow yourself to take that first step. 

 

Much lies ahead if you choose to take that step.  Venture forth!

SUN IN AQUARIUS JANUARY 19, 2021

 The Sun moves into the fixed, air sign of Aquarius on January 19, 2021. 

 

Aquarians have been known to be somewhat eccentric and original.  They know they are different but really do not mind.  They are known as futuristic and some have visionary concepts that are said to be way ahead of their time.  Many other Sun signs will have problems trying to understand some of Aquarius’ concepts.

 

Aquarians are moral by nature and trustworthy although radical in their thinking process.  This, of course, will depend on the sign their Mercury is in and the house their Sun is located in.  These placements along with the Ascendant can temper the Aquarius traits or add to their energies. 

 

Aquarians are humanitarian and enjoy discussing a range of progressive topics with others.  They have new ideas, and their motto would be “I know” and “Don’t fence me in” or “Don’t tie me down”.  They can also be somewhat radical, and it may be hard to sway their opinions yet most Aquarians are open to discussion. 

 

Many are involved in group activities and work well within these groups.  They need to share their ideas and learn new material that they can pass on to those that they deem are looking for assistance or need a push to move forward.  Aquarians often find it easier to talk with groups of people rather than have a conversation with an individual.  They are lovers of mankind and sympathetic to their plight although usually not prone to emotional expression.  Much, of course, will depend on the placement of their Moon by sign and house position.

 

Their symbol is the water bearer which inherently symbolizes the spreading of knowledge.  They truly want to push others out of complacency and help motivate people forward.  Aquarians always search for logical resolutions to issues brought on by life’s events.  The solution that they come up with will be positive in nature.  The advanced Aquarian will make others realize that they are the only ones that actually create their problems and as a result, each individual has to fix their own problems.  (This is not to say that others will not influence our lives but our reaction to what is said and what we do with the issue is always in our own hands.)  Aquarians use their intuition to advance others as these Sun sign individuals know instinctively what others need or at least they think they do.

 

Those with their Sun in Aquarius in the early degrees will have their Sun making a conjunction with Jupiter and Saturn in mid January 2021.  This is a powerful conjunction, and much talk has taken place over the influence of these two giants in recent weeks.  When combined with the Sun, this conjunction speaks of goals and aspirations along with the deep inner character traits linked with the Aquarian tendencies going through growth and opportunities although much work will be required to reach viable and favourable results.  Much will depend on where the Sun, along with these planets, is located in the natal chart.

 

If, for example, these planets are found in the first house, this becomes very personal and it may also affect their relationships.  Internal goals will be scrutinized and either pursued or worries can accompany these decisions due to the influence of Saturn.  It would be wise to push through adversity and move ahead but not to miss any steps along the way. 

 

If, for example, this conjunction takes place in the second house, then this would affect the finances and inner security.  Of course, these are short answers and a deep look into the chart is advised to get a full and clear picture.  Other aspects will influence these energies as well, and our attitude plays a significant role in these events. 

 

By February, 2021, these planets begin to separate although still considered conjunct until the end of February.  During these periods, the Aquarian may find Jupiter has a part in the unfolding of their goals and inner realizations or Saturn will play the more significant role.  Saturn tests our resilience and teaches lessons while Jupiter expands and builds towards opportunities promoting positivity and progressive action on our part.  Jupiter will be in Aquarius for about one year while Saturn will remain there for about 2 ½ years.

 

For further information see posts related to Jupiter conjunct the Sun and Saturn conjunct the Sun at www.holmastrology.com/apps/blog/ in our previous posts.  Make sure you take into consideration the houses involved as these will be the areas of life associated with what takes place.

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

 We continue our post from January 13, 2021 touching on house polarities and i9ntegrating an opposition. https://www.holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/49700803-house-polarities-integrating-your-oppositions-by-house-part-one-  In our example we used Saturn in the second and Uranus in the eight houses. 

 

It is important to integrate both houses involved in the opposition without losing focus or emphasizing one house over the other.  Oppositions are opposing factors that create tension but through integration can be resolved and used in a positive manner.

 

It is also important while defining the meaning of your oppositions to take into consideration the natural rulers of the houses involved as well.  So in this case the natural ruler of the second house is Venus and Taurus and the natural ruler of the eighth house is Pluto and Scorpio.  This should be taken into consideration when trying to find alignment of the two houses and planets involved in the opposition.

 

When a planet is found in the final degrees of a house, some Astrologers say as much as five degrees from the cusp, the energies are pushing towards the next house and both houses should be used in the formulation of action taken to alleviate the stress of the opposition.  So, if for example, Saturn was found 2 degrees from the cusp of the third house while still placed in the second house, both houses should be clearly defined to get a full understanding of what areas of life are involved as well as ways in which these areas of life can be used in ordinance with the opposing house involved in the equation. 

 

In the description of Saturn in the second and Uranus in the eighth, a positive expression and release of tension caused by this opposition might be to find ways of achieving financial security perhaps through joint finances, where the burden of expenses is shared according to the income between both people involved.  If there are continuous worries or anxieties over security matters, both financial or internal issues, letting go of these concerns through an understanding of mystical practice and an opening to new teachings that are available through occult understandings could help the struggles and present new ways to alleviate these internal worries. 

 

To take it one step further, if, for example, Saturn is tied to the third house because it conjoins the cusp of the third house, then communication and open dialogue will help alleviate some of the conditions that are causing concern and anxiety.

 

It is important to remember that there is always a resolution to any dilemma in life and Astrology can help you to understand the energies through evaluation of your oppositions which may be part of the problem.  You can find ways to integrate these energies and use them together to support one another and help find resolution to any concerns you may have.

YOUR ABILITIES

 As you begin acknowledging your abilities, whatever they may be, it is important to follow through and to recognize, that although they appear to be just surfacing, they have been lying dormant waiting for this acknowledgement. 

 

Do not deny these abilities.  Provide them with whatever ingredients necessary so that they can blossom. 

 

Far too often, we notice these abilities are starting to flourish but are hesitant to accept them and we question our abilities.  Some of us may feel unworthy.  Some simply cannot believe that they are capable and will dismiss their abilities over and over again. 

 

In most cases, these abilities are not going to go away.  It is time to explore these avenues of expression.  The push to recognize and utilize our abilities will continue to return to us with some frequency even when our minds tell us that these can’t be.

 

Our talents are real.  Accept the fact that this is happening to you.  It is time and you are ready! 

 

Our ego interferes vehemently regardless of our potential.  Move beyond ego to that part of you that knows.  Stop fighting the process.  You are ready for this whether you believe it or not.  It would not be happening if it were not time.

 

These abilities are far from being foreign to you; they have just been dormant waiting to begin anew.  These abilities do not make us special in any way. 

 

You are worthy.

 

Everyone has their own unique part to play.  We all hold key ingredients that foster growth not only for us but also for all those we share this experience with.  Reach out to like minds.  Share you experiences.  Those that connect with us bring confirmation for us.  With sharing our abilities with others, we enhance these abilities even further. 

 

Practice sharing your gifts frequently.  With practice comes confidence.

 

Remember your spiritual connection to all of life and your innate connection with spirit in your own personal world.  Disregard the mind's interference as it is not part of the true you.  Trust and belief.

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.
