JUDGEMENT

How many of us judge others and how they live?

 

Our view of others is tightly entwined with our personal view of self and more often than not mirrors our own self image.

 

Because of other’s personal view of themselves, we should not allow ourselves to be affected by others’ opinions and judgements. Someone else’s opinion says much about them and little about you. They recognize or exaggerate a specific quality in you and because of a lack of self-reflection, do not consciously see this within themselves.

 

We unfortunately can be blind to our own habits and reactions, and it can be helpful when others share their observations. We must keep our ego under control, however. Honest self reflection can point out “shortcomings” and with recognition comes solution. Another method to recognize characteristics within ourselves that we may be blind to is to pay attention to those things that bother us about others. This can be an excellent personal monitor to assist in self reflection.

 

What others think is their issue. Our own opinion of self is truly important. Because of this, make sure that you are seeing yourself clearly and not selling yourself short.

 

You do not have to please others, but you must be happy with who you are. Take an honest look. Do some self reflection. Sometimes acknowledgment can be challenging but necessary. Other times what we see can expand in a very positive sense.

 

It IS good to reflect and be sure to include all the great qualities as well. What we focus on expands. Where does your focus lie?

 

This also holds true for others. When we look for fault in others, fault is all that we will see. If we look for the greatness in others, then greatness will be seen.

 

Do not make a career out of judging others or yourself. You will never accomplish excellence. Self analysis and paying attention to our positive attributes, these we can excel at. Moving away from constant negative reflection which will allow contentment and happiness.

 

Find your true expression and stop worrying about what others think!

MARS MOVES INTO LIBRA

On September 14, 2021, Mars moves from Virgo a Mutable, Earth sign into Libra a Cardinal, Air sign. Mars moves through the sign Libra from the 14^th of September to the 30^th of October after which it moves into the Fixed, Water sign of Scorpio.  Mars will be in its direct motion until October 2022 when it moves into retrograde at 25 degrees in the sign of Gemini.

 

Mars when in its direct motion moves at about ¾ of a degree per day and its effect on natal planets stimulates activity with energy to move ahead. Mars along with the Sun is our driving force in life and is often used as a timer in Astrology. Mars is the need for action and our stimulating force to push ahead. How we decide to move ahead, with what energy we apply and to what areas of life we wish to pursue these advances depends on the sign and house Mars occupies in our natal chart.

 

When Mars moves into Libra this is a time of balancing our life’s pursuits. We will often try to reach a viable path ahead which offers harmony and peace as its objectives. In many cases others will be involved in the equation and quite often the relationships involved can be with our partners. Although Mars wants to push forward, we will bend and assist in as many ways as possible.

 

This can be known as an advancing time in our lives when we push hard ahead to achieve what we set out to do. Fairness and justice will also be important factors in a determined effort. We can be focused and true to our objectives and we are the motivating factor behind our success or limited advance. Although others are involved, we are the push behind any gain. The amount of energy we put into what we set out to do will be the determining factor in how we advance.

 

If this is about business partnership, then we may be the defining influence which pushes this ahead. We may want to take a leading role in what takes place and how we move ahead. We may rely on some input, but we will likely be the one who orchestrates the movement ahead. We will however likely take into consideration how the other persons’ feel about our plans and objectives.

CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE

Were you told to pick your friends wisely as you become what you friends are?

 

Those that we surround ourselves with will certainly have an impact on us. Not only do others affect us on a mental level, but they can also have a bearing on our overall health. This is not to say that the person whom you invite over for coffee and a simple chat will greatly influence your physical conditioning, but they will influence you for that moment in time. It will, of course, be in your hands just how much of an impact you allow them to have on you.

 

Others may have important information that resonated with you on a deep level and you may choose to utilize the information offered. You will hold some of the dialogue in your conscious mind and you will also retain some of this information on a subconscious level. How much of that information, however, is unconsciously retained?

 

There are individuals that we spend many hours with throughout a week. Their input is quite significant to our evolving story. Is their influence positive in nature?

 

Family members are not always our best friends and we may allow them to produce much strife in our lives. Do we wish them a loving farewell or are they part of our lesson to learn to overcome outside influences?

 

Toxic relationships can have an impact on our overall health. No relationship should be allowed to rob us of our health or happiness. If you find that your relationships need altering, have a look at what you can do to facilitate change on some level. Remember, however, you cannot change someone else. If change is to be made, it is up to you to make the adjustment. If you have done all you can and the relationship is not improving, you cannot force change on someone else. If they are not willing to do the work, you have a decision to make.

 

On the other side of the coin, there are those relationships that simply feel good. You feel wonderful sharing time and energy with these individuals. Hold these relationships close and enjoy the experience. They may be a passing encounter or a lifelong blessing. No matter their length, they are precious.

 

Each of our various relationships throughout life will offer many things and on many levels. Do not take these relationships for granted, regardless of the challenging conditions that occur from time to time. They are special and we are fortunate to experience them. Some will be with us for a lifetime while others will share a moment with us.

NEW MOON SEPTEMBER 6, 2021

Today, September 6, 2021, at 8:51 p.m., we will be experiencing a New Moon at 14 degrees and 37 minutes Virgo. This new Moon signifies a beginning or start of a new phase, and it is in trine to transiting Uranus at 14 degrees Taurus. This is a tight aspect and will add the new and unexpected to what this New Moon is indicating in your chart.

 

It will be impacting those who have planets close to 14 degrees and especially those planets that are in conjunction, opposition or square and to a lesser degree those that are in trine and sextile.  You can allow a three-degree orb of influence, so this will apply to planets or angles that are between 11 to 17 degrees. The tighter the orb the stronger the influence.

 

The house where this conjunction of the Moon and Sun is located will be a prime indicator of the area of life that will be involved. You will also have to take into consideration the planets that are within orb and the houses they are in to get the full picture. The natal profile (natal chart configuration) always must be delineated before drawing any conclusions.

 

Virgo is a mutable, earth sign and is very calculating and precise, wanting to create perfection on some level but seeing all the little flaws in the process. Creating order out of disorder and filing away important matters in their proper placements is what Virgo is well equipped to do. Virgo deciphers all the details and moves ahead carefully plodding each step they take. Nothing goes by without careful delineation.

 

With Uranus being tightly configurated with this New Moon’s position you can expect the unexpected and there is a strong likelihood of moving in a new direction. Sometimes things happen very quickly and suddenly allowing for little time to prepare. However, Uranus is known as the awakener and always puts us in a forward direction which we need to move towards.

 

If the aspects are unfavorable through the birth chart configurations, then this change might upset things and what was considered normal may suddenly be switched around.  Uranus always moves us in the direction we are meant to go, however. Change on some level is most likely indicated and accepting what takes place is often the best route to follow.

 

Utilize the new moon energies.  Enjoy the new start!

TRANSITING SATURN CONJUNCT VENUS

Saturn will often cause you to go within to evaluate personal relationships and your life on a material basis when it is conjunct Venus. It is a time when you will have a close look at any existing relationships that are lacking in substance. These types of relationships will either go through a period of analysis or you may walk away from the individual involved. It could be considered a time of testing our relationships and examining them in detail when Saturn conjuncts Venus. Those connections that make it through this scrutiny will be solid and reliable, and you would be wise to recognize this.

 

You may find that you must tighten your spending or at the very least, take a good look at a budget. It is wise not to go any further in debt until this transit has passed, at the very least. If you have been going through a period of budgeting and have taken a conservative approach, this could be a good time to finalize the plan and to structure your life so that you are well prepared for the future. Setting up a retirement plan and setting aside a certain amount of money weekly or monthly would be a good way to prepare for the future according to this aspect. Saturn is always looking at the long haul and if you currently follow Saturn’s advice and do not accompany the goals with worry, you could set yourself up for a comfortable future.

 

It can also be a time of self-study. Have an honest look at how your relationships may need some adjustments. This is a good time to reflect on how you interact with others and either loosen up or become more structured in how you deal with others. Perhaps you are too stingy when it comes to spending your money on friends and you should become more giving. On the other hand perhaps, you have been frivolous and now you should choose those that you deem worthy of your generosity.

 

Saturn and Venus under many conditions are not very well suited for one another, but a lot can be learned during this time. Spend time on your own. Take the time to think and reflect but do not stay this way for extended periods of time. Take note of the changes you might make to make things run smoother. Never let pessimism rule. Stay optimistic and make changes where and how you see fit.

 

When Saturn is in retrograde its energies are much gentler and often produce fewer challenging conditions than when it is direct. Saturn retrograde can produce viable results and offers less resistance than when it is moving direct. Saturn is the only planet while in retrograde that actually works well. Some even relate Saturn’s retrograde energies like Jupiter. It does not have the expansive qualities or the general opportunities, but it does provide some potential for rewarding experiences. Much will depend on the natal potential related to the aspects to Saturn from other planets and angles in the birth chart.

 

When in retrograde and connected to Venus this may signify that the relationship is reaching a more solid foundation and perhaps it moves to the next step. If this period has to do with finances perhaps having prepared for this time you are now able to buy important things such as invest in your pension or make a purchase of land or invest in a company. It will however be important to review all the other aspects currently active in your chart before you dive in.

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.
