TRANSITING PLUTO CONJUNCT VENUS

 This post on the transit of Pluto can apply to the conjunction to natal Venus, progressed Venus and Venus in the solar chart.  How we interpret the energies will depend on which house Pluto is transiting, its natal position and the house that Venus is in within the current chart.  

 

Is this aspect currently in your chart?

 

Regardless of where these planets are located in the Astrology chart, Venus’ energy focuses on relationships and Pluto can have profound effects on the sexual content of these relationships.  Pluto adds passion and intensity to sexual unions and although it signifies a passionate relationship, it will not be without some type of energy evolved around control issues.  Pluto can be very compulsive, even obsessive and seeks domination and power.  Therefore, any relationship which began under this influence will not be a light-hearted one.  Your involvement will be all inclusive and the potential for transformation on deep internal, physical and emotional levels are indicative of this combination.

 

You are likely to have power issues and one of the partners may want dominance over the other. This is not a passive encounter and although the encounter will be heightened to the extreme, there may be some struggles along the way.  You will undoubtedly be looking at an intense encounter.  

 

How intense are you willing to go and what boundaries will you put in place?  

 

You might have trouble setting boundaries with this relationship.

 

If this relationship is already established, you will still have powerful needs and will want instant fulfillment. There are no half measures under this influence in a relationship and if you feel as though you are not satisfied with the relationship, be careful not to be swayed by your desires.  It is, however, a time when you can uncover any psychological interference that might need adjustment.  Under the influence of this aspect this may well be the time that these issues surface.  Handle the situation in a gentle fashion.  Remember that sex and love can be sensitive areas and your partner can easily become hurt if you do not use tactics and deal with these issues from your heart.

 

Have a close look at your chart and locate Mars to see how Mars is aspected.  This aspect will either make things easier or more challenging.  Mars provides the motivation and drive required for any union.  If it is in aspect to Venus in the natal chart, this will add to the flavour of this transit.  If Mars is in a challenging position to Pluto, this could mean some type of confrontation or test. 

 

I would be amiss if I did not note that you should be careful that you are not aligning yourself with the potential for violence.  I am not suggesting that there will be violence but need to give a warning. 

 

The whole chart should be carefully delineated to provide a complete understanding of what is taking place in your life and with this relationship, (if there is a current relationship).  Without a relationship this could be a very frustrating time, but this too will pass.

HEALTHY LIFE CHOICES

 It is said that everything stems from the heart.  Should we then look within our heart (emotions) first when dealing with adverse experiences in life which have evolved into physical conditions or “dis-ease”?

 

In what ways could we change our lives or our perspectives to alter less than ideal conditions now apparent in the physical body? 

 

What can we do from a purely mental perspective to re-examine our lives? 

 

What changes need to materialize to have a productive physical effect on our body? 

 

Are we happy?  Are we content? 

 

What can we do to change the direction of our life if changes need to take place? 

 

How will these changes affect those around us and what can we do from a personal perspective to make changes that not only make us feel better emotionally but also help those around us to find peace as well?

 

These are questions that we can certainly reflect on. 

 

If someone closely involved in our day to day lives is being beckoned to make changes yet they ignore these calls, it may be time to help them see what is required.  If they still resist, then it may be time for us to do some house cleaning.  Those that are holding us back and creating conditions in our lives that are not in line with our journey cannot be allowed to stand in our way.  It is best to think of what we need to live a healthy, fulfilling life. 

 

It is not self-centred or egotistical to care for our own needs.  We cannot fulfil our life’s journey if we have not cared for or taken care of our own needs.  Sometimes our journeys go in different directions as we progress and grow. 

 

If we have allowed a disease to progress unchecked, we should never hesitate to seek professional assistance for guidance and healing.   By making conscious changes in our lives and with care to heal the disease, we will have the tools we need to heal and grow, as this is part of our life’s journey.  Our mental construct always plays a significant role in our health, and we can never move out of challenging health related matters if we do not believe we can change things.  Focus and alignment are key to overcoming all matters that stand in the way of our growth and healing.

 

There are always avenues to pursue, but the first step that needs to be taken always come from within.  Ask your guides for assistance and program your dreams to reveal any special points of interest that will help you along the way.  Remember you are never alone in physical terms and certainly never alone in spiritual terms.  There is always assistance available; all we need to do is ask but then we must also listen to the response that may come to us intuitively or through signs in our immediate environment.  Remember, nothing is co-incidence. 

 

Reaffirm your belief in yourself and know that the strength you seek is already a part of who you are.  You are stronger than you think and nothing that is presented along life’s road stands in the way unless we allow this or believe this.

NORTH NODE IN TAURUS

 If this is your first North Node post read, we suggest you read our introduction post on November 30, 2020, 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 Taurus. 

 

With the North Node in the fixed, earth sign of Taurus, your objectives in this life tie closely to achieving material success.  There is a drive or should be a drive to attain security through building a financial base that will withstand all adversity and gather momentum as you mature.  This is not to say that you are here primarily to reach monetary success, but you are actually here to learn what success and security teaches.

 

Money is a great teacher and there are many lessons that it will instill upon us.  Some lessons will be challenging, and others will be rewarding, but there is no denying that money has a great impact on our material lives.  Perhaps part of this life’s lesson is brought forward and expressed when we utilize the act of giving?  Perhaps Taurus North Node is here to learn about shortages and how to live without attaining financial rewards.  What will the lessons be in this life and how will the objectives be pursued? 

 

Reaching their objectives may take some time as Taurus moves slowly in its advances.  A slow but meticulous approach is best and the chances for mistakes are also lower.  Do not forget that the North Node energies may not be something that we are comfortable with.  It is new.  Its opposite sign Scorpio, the South Node’s positioning for those with Taurus NN was about getting to the core of life and self and coming to terms with needed adjustment through psychological acts of transformation and introspection.  These ingrained attributes of the psyche can be used to enhance Taurus NN objectives and to learn the lessons of this North Node’s position.

 

Taurus NN are here to learn about love and affection and what a meaningful relationship can be, particularly if Taurus NN is in the seventh house.  These individuals are here to learn what investment can mean especially in big business if Taurus NN is in the eighth house.  This could be through actual investment or being involved in big business.  Taurus NN is here to learn about family obligations and the meaning of security especially if the Taurus NN is in the fourth house.  Of course, these are minute details, but this should give some insight into the workings of the North Node in the sign of Taurus.

 

Pursuing their path and objectives in life in a rather tedious and restraint less manner will earn Taurus NN personal respect.  Their chances for success depend on this pursuit.  They may find that they are somewhat fixed in this ongoing pursuit, once they have made up their mind on a course of action they will take.  It will be hard for them to deviate from their course and the likelihood of attainment on some level is certain.  Taurus NN must follow through on some of their inner hunches and let intuition guide them at times.  They must think things through thoroughly before they move ahead.

NEW MOON in Aries, APRIL 11, 2021

 Our next New Moon falls in the sign of Aries at 22 degrees on April 11, 2021. 

 

Allowing for a three-degree orb of influence, this placement is quite active making a conjunction with Venus (25 degrees Aries), a sextile to Mars (22 degrees Gemini), a sextile to Jupiter (25 degrees Aquarius) and a semi-sextile to Neptune (21 degrees Pisces). 

 

As New Moon’s speak of beginnings and fresh starts, when in Aries, this would imply that an aggressive push would be centered around the potential for romantic involvement or beginning an enterprise among other potentials that would be more clearly defined within the placements of these planets and their connections to your personal natal chart.

 

The conjunction to Venus and sextile to Mars certainly points in the direction of a new relationship.  Venus is representative of love and affection while Mars can also speak of sexual sparks and excitement.  The conjunction brings an emphasis to an already heightened experience and the sextile suggests an opportunity to build on this feeling.

 

The sextile from Jupiter and semi-sextile to Neptune suggest that this relationship, if this is what these energies are focused on, brings about feelings of abundance and growth through this potential and Neptune brings a quality of spirituality into the equation and someone being in the right place at the right time.

 

Pisces can make this almost magical, and you will have to watch for overloading the emotions with the potential of an important relationship.  If this is not a love affair, then a person of interest may be what this speaks about.  Someone that means a lot to you and can help you push ahead in your endeavors, especially if connected to insight and inspiration or perhaps the psychic realm of things.

 

Aries is about pursuing your objectives and all of these aspects are making positive connections to the New Moon.  Be sure you take advantage of this energy and reap the rewards for your effort in about 6 months’ time.

 

For further information on how this and other aspects might affect you personally, have your Astrologer advice you on the best steps to take and what this energy might be about for you personally.

BE BOLD

In the face of adversity what is your best defense? 

 

Do you use your flight response?  Do you seek shelter from aggression and/or attack? 

 

Do you use the fight response?  Do you use aggression to protect yourself?

 

It is said that fighting aggression with aggression only creates more of the same. 

 

If we are attacked (emotionally, mentally, or physically) what then is the best approach? 

 

We certainly have to stand up for ourselves when need be and use our inner strength to create a solution from the issue at hand. 

 

Sometimes life seems to come at us from all directions, and we are forced to find that inner strength and find new ways to look old issues.  Through our own determination and focus, we can reach within and find the strength to not only carry on through these events, but to rise above them.

 

We can find strength that we never knew existed.  We gain personal empowerment when we allow ourselves to rise above.  There is sufficient strength within, however, do not feel any less competent if you reach out to others and higher sources for assistance.  With or without assistance, we emerge stronger, more resilient, and ready to forge ahead with our heads held high.

 

We are the masters of our destiny regardless of what stands in the way.  We are much more powerful than we realize.  The only thing that stands between defeat and success is our attitude and our focus.  Through love of self, control of attitude and positive focus (and a touch of determination), we rise above life’s conditions that once seemed insurmountable.

 

Recognize your strengths and abilities but accept a hand when it is extended to you.  Fulfill your ambitions with an open mind. 

 

Follow your heart……it knows the path.

VOID OF COURSE MOON IN ASTROLOGY (Part 1)

 The moon is not a planet even though it functions as a planet.  According to Universe today, a moon is defined to be a celestial body that makes an orbit around a planet.  It can be referred to as a natural satellite.  For our purposes, we will refer to the moon as a planet for simplicity sake.

 

Void of Course Moon is a phenomenon that actually occurs quite frequently (approximately every two to three days). The Moon is the fastest moving planet (again for simplicity sake) travelling through the Zodiac signs. It takes the Moon two and one-half days to move from one sign to the next and during that time, it makes many aspects to all the planets in our solar system.

 

When the Moon reaches its furthest degree in a sign while still making a major aspect to one of the planets, (Conjunction, Sextile, Trine, Square and Opposition) it is not considered Void Of Course. After the Moon completes its last applying aspect to one of these planets, (for example it makes a conjunction to Mars at 26 degrees and 36 minutes of Aries and then does not make another aspect to any planet until it reaches Taurus) it is then void of course. The Void of Course (VOC) period could last as little as minutes or as long as a couple of days.

 

As mentioned, the moon can stay VOC for as much as two days but this is quite rare. During this period, regardless of how short or long the period may be, Astrology tells us that we should not make any important decisions or start new projects. It has been noted that beginning something of importance during these periods often produces less than desirable results. Often things do not go as planned, and as a result, they require adjustment once this lunar cycle has completed its duration. Our judgement is often not as sharp as usual, and reconstruction is often a by-product of decisions made during a VOC period.

 

It is suggested that during these periods, we should spend time reflecting and regrouping through acts of deliberation or meditative practices. Once the Moon has entered the next sign, plans and events seem to move along better and we avoid possible delays and frustrations that are often accompany times of VOC Moon.

 

In Astrology, the aspects between the Moon and any other planetary forces speak to us concerning traits and life events. When the Moon goes VOC, it is as though there is no message being sent, and life and our plans for life hesitate and loose communication to our cosmic guidance. This is not to say that nothing happens, but it seems that making plans during this time is best to be avoided and should be pursued once the Moon moves into the next sign.

 

Is this a myth or an Astrological phenomenon?

 

You be the judge. There are websites that can provide you with specific times for these periods and their durations.  Test this phenomenon and let us know what you experienced.  You might be surprised!

 

We will continue our look at VOC moon in our April 16, 2021 post.

CREATION IN THE MAKING

 Do you feel motivated….invigorate? 

 

Do you feel the urge to push forward but you are not too sure what direction that push should be in? 

 

As you forge ahead, you will make changes but be certain to accept where you are for each moment in time.  Reach out but be comfortable with what is right there as well.  It has taken you your whole life to reach your current summit.  What a marvelous feat. 

 

Rest assured you will keep moving ahead, one step at a time when you are ready to move forward.

 

You are your own creator, sculptured by your beliefs and expectations.  You are your own personal limits, and you alone are the energy required for any expansion.  Even when you do not know what that next step may be, keep moving forward with the knowledge that life never stands still. 

 

There are times life appears to be at a standstill; however, these periods should be review periods and a time to rest.  Trust in the process.  All you need is here for you. 

 

Live in the moment and enjoy each step to its fullest.  Be content in that moment for it is perpetual and recognize that there is always more to come, whatever that may be.  Love your life even under the harsh, temporary conditions.  During these transitional stages, you are being prepared for something new.  There is always something ahead waiting for full expression but today we appreciate today for it is leading us there.

 

All that surrounds you is a reflection of what takes place within.  If you are unhappy, look within to understand why. Happiness is a choice. 

 

If you are happy, congratulate yourself on your choices and share this expression with those around you.  Know that all events are temporary and are experienced only in this moment. 

 

Why would you want to carry unpleasant memories or actions forward?  Nonetheless, these are choices. 

 

Do not take any shortcuts.  Enjoy every experience.  Live to learn.
