NEW MOON FEBRUARY 11, 2021

 The New Moon on February 11, 2021, is in the sign of Aquarius at 23 degrees. 

 

A New Moon’s energies speaks of planting seeds that will germinate and be ready for harvest when the Full Moon in is the same sign, some six months from now.  However, the first month or so is important and the work you do over the entire time frame will be reflected in the final product. 

 

To be personally influenced by this new moon, you will have to have a planet or angle in your chart that is close (within three degrees) to this placement, which is 23 degrees Aquarius either by conjunction, opposition or square.

 

Aquarius often has to do with humanitarian endeavors and scientific pursuits.  On a larger scale, this may speak in terms of bringing to the surface a cause that might influence the masses.  In personal terms this may speak of the evolution of an important relationship particularly if this New Moon is in the seventh house or making an aspect to Venus in your chart.  Perhaps you may be thinking about getting involved with a group of individuals through the internet that will help a cause that would benefit many especially if this placement is found connected to the eleventh house.

 

Aquarius is often related to the raising of our consciousness and the evolution of those concerned.  It speaks of truth through conversation and evaluation stemming from the intellect.  It may be important to have discussions with those that are like-minded about pushing a higher principle ahead on some level.  Perhaps engaging those of higher mind to push ahead in ways that would benefit others.  This might be done in rather unique manners and perhaps in unexpected ways.  It would, however, always be for the greater good of all concerned.  Peaceful application is suggested and finding ways to work together will likely have a more profound effect than a singular effort.

 

On some personal level, this New Moon may push you to go within and discover what needs revamping.  In turn, it will push you in a new direction which facilitates growth that is required for your evolution in this time and space.  This could be part of your advancement especially if you have this placement in one of the water houses (4,8,12) and more challenging if you have a planet or angle at or around 23 degrees in Scorpio or Taurus.  Scorpio would ask that you go deep to uncover anything that needs change while Taurus suggests that what you seek must have a lasting effect and should be pursued with diligence and constant effort.

 

This New Moon offers up opportunities for change and evolution if you pursue your objectives with an open mind and farsightedness.  Once you do whatever work you need to do, you can spread that knowledge with others when they are ready to hear it.

CROSSROADS OF LIFE

 How have you been holding up lately? 

 

You have coped thus far, and you are still standing tall.  It is amazing just how resilient we can be.  We can be standing facing a hurdle, feeling overwhelmed and then suddenly the hurdle doesn’t seem so big or someone comes along and points out that we can just push it aside or climb over it.  We immediately feel as though we can breathe again and we feel so much lighter.

 

How often does it seem that you are at your weakest point and contemplating giving in to a challenge, and then you seem to turn a corner and your perspective changes?  Unfortunately, some are so lost in their focus, they are blind to all of the potential solutions that surround them.  We can build our own walls for protection but unfortunately, they also keep out those that love us.  The walls blind us to all of the potential available and our old mind sets hold us back, denying us what is rightfully ours.

 

We can be our own greatest enemy.

 

If we listen to the quite voice that says you can get through this, you can experience peace in your lesson.  As long as we limit ourselves and become captive of our stale beliefs, we have little to no chance of moving forward.

 

We sometimes blame our life’s circumstances on others.  There are many times when people intrude into our focus on peace and calm.  Some relationships can be difficult, our work environment can be fast paces and demanding, children will be children, pandemics happen.  We cannot control what goes on in our outside world but how we respond to these stimuli is a choice.  We have full control over our attitude towards these situations.

 

We will encounter challenging life experiences and some can be excessively difficult to handle.  Take time to recharge your batteries.  Do what it takes to stay healthy mentally, physically and emotionally.  Find what brings you happiness.  Go for a long walk in nature to release, talk to friends and family, communicate your feelings, use release techniques such as exercise, yoga, meditation, etc.  You have this.  All lessons are temporary.  Learn, release and move on.  Remember your focus. 

 

Put all lessons in their proper place.  Do not allow your mind to make them bigger than life.  Believe…..You can overcome anything, but you have to believe that this is possible and no one can do this for you.

Yod (Finger of God) in Astrology

The Yod, also known as the Finger of God, is an astrological configuration that requires two planets to be in sextile with one another and then both of these planets inconjunct to a third planet.  The orb should be no more than 5 degrees in separation, and the tighter the orb, the stronger the emphasis is on the focal planet.  The focal planet is the single planet receiving both inconjuncts from each planet that is in sextile to one another.  For example, if Mars and Venus were in sextile to one another and they both inconjunct the Moon.  The focal planet would be the Moon.

 

The sign of the focal planet defines the way in which the energy of this force needs to be corrected or re-experienced.  The energy of the focal planet (in our example the Moon which deals with emotional expression and needs) suggests that there is a need for emotional or mental re-adjustment, as inconjuncts are about adjustments.  The house placement of the focal planet is the area of life which needs to be transformed and this is where the transformation will take place.

 

The focal planet is a very delicate point because the inconjuncts produce subconscious or hidden tension, which often surfaces as physical or psychological issues until these problems are resolved.  This focal planet describes our calling or mission in life.  It often feels as though our calling with this focal planet is fated as it is something that needs developing.  The negative ramifications must be released and let go of permanently.  In turn, this will make way for the maximum manifestation of this configuration to take place.

 

The far midpoint of the two planets in sextile is considered an energy point and when activated through transit along with the focal point, the energies are released and an opportunity (which is indicative of the meaning of the sextiles) is manifested. 

 

Upon releasing the negative energies, the recipient will experience a new way of being and often produces heightened intuitive abilities and mystical experiences.  This is particularly strong when the midpoint between the two sextiles (30 degrees from each planet in sextile) contains a planet.  This is known as a Tetradic Yod.

 

As the Yod is so in-depth, we will continue our explanation in another post on February 12, 2021.

NEPTUNE SEXTILE PLUTO

The sextile between Neptune and Pluto is a long standing aspect and it has been in influence for 70 years; therefore, everyone under the age of 70 will have this aspect in their birth chart.  This is a very sensitive placement between these two outer planets and is said to stimulate psychic and clairvoyant abilities, particularly if the Sun or Moon are also aspected by these planets.  The closer this sextile aspect is to being direct (60 degrees), the stronger the influence.

 

This sextile began during the Second World War around 1942 and deals with inner exploration, the mystical journey if you will.  I am sure that during the onset of the Second World War many individuals would have spent time in contemplation as to the why behind this war and learned a great deal about themselves during their plight.  This would have taken place on a global scale and even those that were fighting were not influenced by this sextile in their birth chart, but would have had it in transit and affecting different areas of their natal chart through transits.

 

Both Pluto and Neptune deal with the subconscious.  Neptune deals with spirituality while Pluto deals with transformation.  You can imagine the influence that these two giants in Astrology would play in the lives of us that have this energy strongly influencing our lives.  The sextile between these two planetary energies deal with the collective and the philosophy of the people influenced by this union.  Many are swayed through the intuitive channels and are quite pioneering dealing with problems faced by humanity.

 

There are those that can use their psychic abilities and aid others in their quest for truth in life.  Many of us who have this sextile strongly placed in our birth charts have the potential for expanding our understanding of the psychic and mystical journey that we share.  When among groups of people with shared interests, these latent abilities, this potential, can surface and become part of the everyday experience, after all it is known as the super-NATURAL.

 

It is believed that if we were to follow our dreams, we can make them a reality.  This holds true just as the fact that we mold our reality through belief structure and expectations in life.  There are many clairvoyants and psychics with this sextile who openly use these techniques as planning tools to better our world and infiltrate our consciousness with a willingness to explore the inner regions of the mind and our true connection with the world of mysticism.

 

Many individuals will experience precognitive dreams and many have innate psychic healing energies.  We can work with our dreams as well and help others decipher their dreams and use these tools as guiding factors in our lives.  There is a great desire for justice and goodness amongst many of these people and a major factor in their lives is to assist others to reach their spiritual potential and awaken unto themselves.

 

Check the transits of Uranus which is in Taurus as I write this post as to when it will will trine your natal Pluto and also be in opposition to natal Neptune.  This should awaken many of the individuals that have this placement strong in their charts.  The influence may come from others and the areas of life that will be affected (house placements) will be associated with the placement of these natal planets in the birth chart.  You could use an orb of 5 degrees approaching and the effects may be felt 2-3 degree separating.

THOSE WAITING ON THE OTHER SIDE

 There are many of us that have had the pleasure of visitations from those on the other side.  It is actually more common than you would think.  We have been told of many instances of contact from family members, close friends, guides and even strangers.  They instances have even been shared by even individuals who claim to be nonbelievers and they cannot explain what they experienced.

 

It seems that these experiences are becoming more commonplace.  Why does the line of connection seem stronger? 

 

It is believed that the human race as a collective group is evolving into a new consciousness.  In years gone by, many people may have kept their experiences to themselves due to fear of being diagnosed as delusional.  Most people now are more comfortable to speak of their experiences.

 

Our loved ones are not far away.  Many feel this connection and many have shared their experiences of feeling the presence of loved ones as well.  Some individuals believe that this is another reality or another dimension in time and space which very close to our own.  Those of us sensitive enough to the energies can pick up the subtle vibrations of those on the other side, whatever the other side may be.

 

Some people have shared their experiences of being with a loved one and witnessing their passing over.  These individuals, have shares that there is a sensation of anticipation and almost that something is about to happen.  Some have shared seeing a grayish-blue smoky material being released from the body as these individuals pass.  Others have shares that they saw a light leave the body.  There is no doubt when someone has passed over, as there is an emptiness about the body they have left behind and there is no doubt that their presence or energy is gone.

 

It has been said that others are waiting their arrival and that those that leave us behind will be waiting for us upon our passing. 

 

Our essence does not cease when we leave this material world. 

 

On our passing, do we then awaken from our earthly life?  Do we return to the place we left when we entered this physical life?

 

It is apparent that we are evolving in consciousness on a global level.  Transition is always painful and many feel this shift.  We will not truly know what happens upon our passing until we awaken into our true spiritual beings.

 

Allow the truth to find you, simply by being open and letting go of control, at least on this spiritual quest. 

 

The door opens as we are ready for it to open.  No push can make this take place any earlier than when it is suppose to happen.  Seeking love and making connections, opens the door to perception.  Being open can support connections with our loved ones that have passed over.  They are waiting just on the other side.  

 

Live your material life to its fullest.  Be open and do not take any short cuts.  Live out your life knowing that although life as we know it will end someday, life itself is perpetual.   While you are here, be in the moment for the moment is life itself. 

 

Our friends and family are always with us.  We are never alone.

TRANSITING NEPTUNE CONJUNCT NATAL MOON

 Transiting Neptune has been moving back and forth into retrograde and then going direct since the spring of 2013.  When this post was written transiting Neptune was at 18 degree Pisces.  If you have the natal Moon within 5 degrees of this placement, the closer to exact the stronger, then Neptune will have had a profound effect on you or has had a profound effect on you during its contact.  You can feel the approach of Neptune up to 5 degrees, and it affects continue until it is 2-3 degrees separating.

 

Moon in Pisces is a very inspirational placement and most of the people that have this placement of the Moon have psychic inclinations and often prophetic dreams.  They are emotionally inclined to receive intuitive information from higher sources and are often visionaries.  They are emotionally receptive to the deeper dimensions and attuned to other people’s emotional responses.  Many Moon in Pisces individuals have a difficult time removing themselves from emotional interaction with those they respond to.  Those with the Moon in the twelfth house will also have some of these influences.

 

This is an intuitive placement for those so inclined. 

 

With this Pisceans influence, there can be a tendency to live in a dream world trying to escape the harsher side of life, often through alcohol and drugs. 

 

As the Moon governs the emotions, these individuals are wide open to self-examination, although understanding their emotional interaction can be difficult.  They have a deep-seated emotional nature.

 

Neptune is in its own sign in Pisces and is quite comfortable in this placement and when attached to the Natal Moon often brings Neptunian principles to the surface.  Many will have an involvement with mystical experiences and practices during this time and undergo emotional interactions with the spiritual realms.  If so inclined, this period will often produce profound effects and at times a link to the other spheres of experience not considered the norm.

 

Neptune will also colour the imagination and because it is linked to the Moon, people with Moon in these degrees in Pisces may have difficulty understanding their own emotional makeup.  They may react in ways different than they would customarily react and may become lost in their feelings. 

 

The houses involved with this conjunction will be the areas of life that are affected.  If for example, the conjunction occurs in the sixth house, these types of experiences will deal with the working environment, and their emotional health often connected to nutrition.   If this conjunction should occur in the fifth house, they may experience intuitive insights into love relationships and children or have difficulties seeing things clearly often putting these people, especially romantic entanglements, high on a pedestal.  After the transit has completed its course, they may see this individual in a much clearer light seeing them as they actually are. 

 

If Neptune is clouding their perception and emotional interaction with life, it is best that they have a second look and perhaps wait for clearer perception down the road when Neptune is out of range of the Moon.  If they are experiencing mystical insight and emotional interaction in the spiritual realms, this is the nature of Neptune in this placement and they should be paying close attention.  Is it telling them something?

 

Insight, intuition and emotional interaction will be highlighted during this time frame.  Much can be learned during this very significant period and these individuals can either rely on their emotional feedback or if they feel unsure then it is best to wait until the cloud of uncertainty evaporates. 

 

Check the aspects of the natal Neptune to see how it is affecting them.  If they have many challenging aspects, make sure what they are experiencing is real and watch for a lesson after this transit passes.  If their Neptune is well aspected then the insights might be on target.

 

You should also check to see where their Natal Neptune resides, as the house placement and sign placement will also provide you with details on what is taking place in their life.  In many cases the spiritual side of life is awakened and they can grasp its deeper meaning at this time.  Use this transit with this in mind.

BUILDING IN STRENGTH

Where are you in life’s journey?  How far have you come?  Do not judge the experience; just think of the life that has been experienced.

 

Now, ask yourself, what have you learned to date? 

 

How has it affected you? 

 

Do you feel stronger? 

 

Are you more in touch? 

 

Our inner core is always able to withstand any external stimuli.  It has great resilience and although there are times when we believe that we are descending, in reality, we are building that inner core.  I am not referring to our inner self or soul. The soul is always permanent and can be relied on at any time.  What I am referring to is the individual that you are building during the process of life.  I do not speak of the mind, as thoughts are generated through expectation or past experience.  I speak of the core that has experienced life and feels more adept at handling life’s lessons.

 

If you are currently feeling lost and out of control, remind yourself that this is temporary and that the fog will lift.  You will again see clearly and ultimately be stronger from this experience.  It may not feel like it at times, but these apparent tests are put in place for you to learn from and gain momentum in your pursuit of spiritual growth.  Just as with exercise, the muscle gets sore as we build them through the exercise.  You are constantly learning through life’s experience and growth occurs through these involvements.

 

Life is full of twists and turns.  Ride the wave.  Sometimes life moves along almost perfectly and other times life can be like a volcano either waiting to erupt or it can start to spew molten lava.  Remember these gather momentum and our thoughts and reactions form our emotional reality.  Practicing mindfulness and understanding the process alleviates many of the “hurts” in life.  You are learning to use the tools that are at your disposal and over time you will begin to use them much more frequently and with precision.  Life becomes easier because we have learned to use these tools.

You are equipped with sufficient inner resolve to overcome and grow through all of life’s lessons.  You are never at the mercy of life, but you are at the mercy of your thoughts and reactions.  Live in the moment.  Silence your mind.

 

Look at the blessings in your life.  Life is so very good in many, many ways.  Focus on these blessings.  Little by little you will see more and more of them.
