TRANSITING SATURN CONJUNCT NATAL SUN

The natal Sun has to do with who we are on the inside, our life objectives, and goals we wish to accomplish. It speaks of our core and depending on the sign of our Sun at birth and the house placement, it identifies how we will maneuver our way through life and what area of life is important in this pursuit.

Saturn has to do with restrictions and delays but if addressed appropriately, it also promotes the solidifications of our plans and educates us through our actions. Saturn is known as the teacher of the zodiac and depending on how it is aspected and placed in the natal chart, it often denotes areas of life that need to be worked on or areas of life that might pose problematic conditions. Saturn is rarely indicative of the easy road as we will need to work hard to achieve its objectives, but hard work pays off in dividends.

The Sun in many cases is a very encouraging and a constructive placement in our horoscope. Unless it is poorly placed, there is an encouraging, hopeful approach to life and the area of life it occupies. When transiting Saturn moves into conjunction to our natal Sun, the area of life dictated by the house position of our Sun is often under some stress. It appears that we must work hard to accomplish anything we set out to do and there are often delays and obstacles to overcome.

Check the natal positioning to Saturn and its aspects to get a clear understanding of what we might be dealing with.  If Saturn natally is unafflicted and there are no other or very few transits challenging our Sun, this aspect from Saturn to the Sun may indicate that a solidification process is underway, and structures are being built that will stand the test of time. However, if there are obstacles in the way and this is a poor alignment then work must be done, and you may find that there will be shortcomings. Success is not guaranteed without continued effort and even so, things may not work exactly the way you would like them to.

Transiting Saturn causes worry as it has a bad reputation, but with a sound approach and diligent effort much can be accomplished. What it teaches is often much more important than what we are trying to accomplish. There are lessons to be learned and perhaps challenges ahead but with a positive approach and no skipped steps, much potential is available.

TRANSITING MARS TRINE URANUS

Mars transits quickly through the natal chart unless it is moving in its retrograde cycle. When it is moving in its direct motion, you can use an applying orb of 5 degrees and a separating orb of 2 degrees. When Mars sits directly on your planet or angle, this will be when its energies are the strongest.

 

Mars represents our drive and ambitions to push ahead in life, our ability to move through adversity and our ability to achieve what we set out to do. If you are naturally a relaxed individual, when Mars trines your natal Uranus, you may feel an invigorating push to speak your mind, to move ahead with your objectives and perhaps start something new.

 

Uranus will assist you if your objectives are to start something new or to move in a different direction. A trine between Mars and Uranus would be the time to advance, and you can do this with more confidence than you normally could. Because of this confident attitude, you have a greater chance of achieving what you set out to do. Mars will supply the necessary push and Uranus will offer opportunities. Perhaps the timing seems appropriate to push ahead and contrary to your normal shy exterior, which of course depends on the general character traits exhibited in the natal chart, you are likely to feel that you are more capable of achieving.

 

We are not suggesting that introverted individuals are unable to achieve easily in life as these individuals move ahead often with less notice from others. What they achieve can be just as profound as with anyone else, but they are quiet about it. Most extroverts will likely share their ideas with others and demand more attention. Much will depend, of course, on the overall implications contained in the birth chart.

 

This transit we are focusing on today can also be related to freedom of expression and the need to be heard, especially if the third house is somehow involved. Those experiencing this aspect may also take interest in what others have to say and to help them move beyond any type of complacency that they may be experiencing. However, it is important to recognize that some individuals do not take kindly to what might be considered intervention. This, however, should not stop anyone from offering their help if this is what is wanted. Reaching out may be just what the doctor ordered, and advice or push may be what is needed.

 

Quite often Mars combined with Uranus can act in unusual ways and in an unexpected manner. This push may not be expected, and this will be because of Uranus’s input with the drive of Mars. If we take the time to review what has been taking place in life or if we analyse the area of life we are considering changing, we may find that it has been calling for a change of direction or a new approach for some time now. Quite often what needs change has been letting us know for some time in some subtle form or another. If we are not making the appropriate change then Mars can create actions that are more impulsive and perhaps a little more aggressive in nature. The trine usually suggests that the transition is easy or gentler than let’s say the energies of a square or conjunction.

 

It might just be time to take steps under the influence of this aspect. Open the door and maybe, an opportunity waits for those that dare to go beyond traditional habits. Sometimes something new comes from an action taken that in the beginning may not look overly promising but under the influence of the trine, it is required, and expresses itself over time.

DESTINY’S GATEWAY

 A single lifetime on earth, in the broad scheme of things, is a very short period. It can feel that much shorter depending on when and if we wake up and start living life, rather than just drifting along ignoring the moment. Once we begin to focus on the moment, life’s experience becomes more relevant and has much more meaning and purpose.

 

When asleep, we flit from day to day with little recognition of what is happening. We fail to understand the emptiness within can only be filled with awareness and presence. We point the finger at others and fail to realize that we build our moments, and our tomorrows from our expectations and focus.

 

When we wake, we know and understand that we create life by our thoughts and will only experience limitations in life if these are part of our expectations. Our concentrated thoughts create our path.

 

Many individuals believe that the many lessons we are meant to learn throughout this life have already been determined. Whether the lessons are predetermined or change as we change our direction throughout life is irrelevant. We have choices on how we react to each and every event we experience. We have a choice on how we respond to that individual that held the door for us, to that driver that let us in through heavy traffic, to that young child who just lost their toy, to that driver that cuts us off, to the stoppage of traffic on the highway, to our house being broken into, to the loss of our spouse, and the list goes on. These do not have to be negative only experiences. The same holds true for what we term “beneficial” experiences. (Is there a non-beneficial experience?)

 

Could we have stopped the accident on the highway or the death of our loved one? Undoubtedly no. Do we have a part in the process of how we appreciate and enjoy our life? Without a doubt!

 

If we believe or consider the possibility that we are constantly building our tomorrows by what we do today and by our expectations, it possible that as we mold our journey it will flex as we build.

 

Even though we are positive, we will still experience hard lessons. These are part of our journey. Our reaction to the lessons is what is important.

 

Is it not possible for us to go through these life experiences (lessons) and our part in the process is to learn from them and then carry on? Perhaps this is part of destiny’s gateway! 

 

I believe we must learn to take everything so personally. Should we be “owning” everything that happens? We are meant to experience but not own. These are not personal. They do not define us – they teach us.

 

We and only we make the decisions. We choose what we wish to believe and what response we will have throughout our journey. It is always in our hands even when we do not believe it is.

 

Perhaps all we need to do is watch life flow, be the spectator of all the events, learn from them and move forward without stress, being fearless and free. You will need to decide and then watch what builds from that decision.

URANUS RETROGRADE AUGUST 20, 2021

 Transiting Uranus moved into its retrograde motion on August 20, 2021, and will remain in retrograde motion until January 18, 2022.

 

Uranus’ energies are very revolutionary. They seek freedom of expression and have a strong desire to remove anything that has gone stale or no longer serves a viable purpose. Uranus’ energies act in unexpected manners, and you can never be totally sure how they will respond under pressure.

 

The area of life being affect by Uranus will be the house it is transiting. There is often a feeling that something must change or be shaken up somewhat before its expression is activated. Quite often, you get warnings of necessary changes in the area of life under the house’s influenced when Uranus is in retrograde and then when it turns direct either you make the necessary changes or life makes things happen for you. If you choose to do nothing, life will often take a leading role and see that the changes take place. When changes are forced upon us, they may not be pleasant in their expression. Incidents can happen at the spur of the moment, suddenly, unexpectedly, without warning.

 

Uranus motto could be “Expect the unexpected”.

 

When a planet is in retrograde, the energies related to the planet and the house(s) it is transiting are stifled or held back. The energy is turned inward and a time for review is at hand. It is a time to rethink things out, to redo, to repair.  You can prepare for when the energies are released (direct motion) so that you can move forward in the new direction of choice.

 

Uranus suggests that this is a time for inner reflection not only about your life but on a more personal level – the level of “who you are”. It often provides you with more freedom of expression and you just want to be you, or a new you. This is particularly so if Uranus is retrograde in your birth chart.  (Any planet that is retrograde in the birth chart becomes more powerful when it turns retrograde through transit.)

 

Uranus is known as the awakener, and this is what it aims to achieve. You should also have a look at the natal and transit placement of Uranus by house and by aspect as this will give you clues into how things might unfold. As with all outer planets, Uranus will make suggestions along the way, but it will often create a course with little or no direction or input from you.

 

Life happens and things change. Uranus will be the instigator behind these actions but remember regardless of how drastic and challenging the conditions may be, Uranus always provides you with exactly what you need. The result is or will be beneficial.

 

When Uranus goes direct, this should be the time of motivation to move towards the new and to make necessary changes. Again, these can be in disruptive ways but just for the moment. Do not spend any time worrying about how things might manifest, as Uranus acts on impulse and without warning and often releases in ways that you cannot be prepared for.

 

Remind yourself, as these changes are taking place, that these are happening for a better future.

 

Some people fear changes. Those who are more evolved, or open to the new, know that when the timing is ripe and change is necessary, it should be welcomed with open arms. Uranus will take you where you need to go, so be open and listen. You will know which avenue to take, if life does not dictate, that is. Remember you have freedom of choice on how your response. Be open!

MOVING AHEAD IN MEASURED STEPS

There are times in life when the momentum seems to shift.  Times when we are moving well and other times when life seems to stall and stagnate.  

What are these stalled laps about? 

The times we appear to be moving forward or backward are measured in time sequence, that in many cases, are not of our own doing. Of course, there are times when shifts come that are expected (we see the potential and strive to make things happen).  Other times, it would appear that we have made poor judgements, or are disadvantaged times but we also see these coming. Because of this, we can prepare ourselves for what might be approaching.

More than often, life seems to take us by the hand and lead us to roads that we did not expect to be traveling. Under these circumstances, there is no time to prepare or plan. Life just seems to put us in situations that for the moment are not completely understood or predictable. These times can be uplifting, or they can feel like stumbling blocks to our growth.

As we maneuver our way through, we must adjust to where life takes us. Letting go and letting life certainly fits these occasions. When we find ourselves in a situation where something magnificent takes hold, we enjoy the ride. When life challenges us, however, we often struggle. It can be hard to see the silver lining, but if you look deep enough, you will find the valuable lesson.

We must walk these roads, good or bad. Our attitude holds the key to the pressures or enjoyment attached to each event. When life shifts, we decide what course of action to take. We also decide on our reaction to the process. We are never at the mercy of life, but we often find ourselves at the mercy of our mind’s reaction.

SUN IN VIRGO

The Sun moved from Leo into Virgo on August 22, 2021.  Leo has an energetic, outgoing personality, while Virgo is more subdued but is known for its ability or desire for creating something as close to perception as possible. In many ways this is the drive behind many personalities with strong Virgo characteristics.

 

Virgo individuals have a strong desire to organize, and this is often found within the working environment. They want things to be in their right place and structured in such a way that everything is easily attainable. They are reliable and often known for their analytic abilities. Perfection may be their ultimate goal, but many will see little flaws in what they do and how life operates. Nothing slips by their critical eye and every little detail must be perfect. Flaws are not acceptable, but a Virgoan would do well to realize that life has its imperfections and the more we pay attention to the minor defects the more we see them.

 

Virgo is a mutable, earth sign and working in the corporate world and any type of organizing requirements would be right up their alley. If they put their mind to something they will work at their best to make sure things are done right. Some can get caught up in their health, and cleanliness is an important factor. Hygiene is important and if they are not clean and well maintained, life may not be going well for them.

 

Transiting Pluto will be making a trine to those Virgos with their Sun in the late degrees and Neptune is in opposition as well. Virgos that have their Sun between 18-29 degrees will be impacted by these two planets in their birth charts. The opposition often suggests that matters may not be certain and quite often outside influences are a part of this. The trine from Pluto suggests that positive transformations are at hand and significant changes might be on the horizon.

 

The houses involved will determine the areas of life involved and other natal positions will also play a part in the overall conditions. Always check the whole chart to get a full understanding of the energies in place.

FULL MOON AUGUST 22, 2021

On August 22, 2021, we will experience a Full Moon in the sign of Aquarius at the 29^th degree at 8:01 a.m. This is a Blue Moon (second Full Moon in August). There are indicators that planets in the 29^th degree have a sense of urgency to them. The Full Moon speaks of a culmination point and the reaping of the fruits of our labor.

 

Aquarius often has to do with humanitarian principles and the desire to walk your own personal road. This then should be a unique time and opportunities are at hand due to the placements (in your chart) of the Full Moon.

 

Jupiter is conjunct the Moon at 26 degrees which signifies growth and expansion and the feeling that things are going well.

 

We also have a Grand Air Trine which denotes decisive action and a feeling that you need little if any help from outside sources. Grand trines have been noted to be closed circuits of self-sufficiency.

 

What was set in motion some six months ago should now come to fruition. Whatever efforts put forth leading up to the Full Moon will now bear fruit unless you did little or nothing with the energies up to this point.

 

Note which houses are involved and if a planet or significant point in your chart is within three degrees of this placement. The houses involved will relate to the area of life involved or significant angle which could be the Asc, MC, DC or IC.  Check if any other planetary energy is tightly conjunct or in opposition to 29 degrees Aquarius as these are the strongest influences.  The trine, sextile and quincunx can also play roles. The conjunction adds intensity while the opposition often speaks of other people being involved in the equation. The trine and sextile often denote positive and easy flow while the quincunx suggests that an adjustment is necessary.

 

The Grand Trine and the conjunction of Jupiter suggests a positive energy flow and potential for things working out well.  This could be a very significant time and we should let the energies flow freely and work with what is in front of us.
