EVERYBODY HURTS NOW AND THEN

We are not the only ones that walk the road of hard lessons at some point. No one completes this journey without experiencing some type of stress, sorrow or disappointment. It is during these times that we are forced to turn inward to find strength and in turn gain knowledge. Some of us recognize the lessons, learn, and move on. Others own the events and make them personal. They get caught up in their emotions.

 

Some are superstitious and believe events happen in pairs or happen in threes, etc. As a result of this belief, these individuals search for mishaps to confirm their beliefs. By looking for frustration or disappointment, we are ensuring that we find it. We create our reality through our focus. If we look for disappointment that is all we see and we are blind to the blessing.

 

Struggles are what make us strong and adaptable. We gain wisdom from these events. Most lessons taught at the school of hard knocks are lessons well learned. When we learn to recognize the lessons in life, however, we can accept them more readily, without anxiety or resistance, and avoid the repeat lessons.

 

In recognizing and appreciating life’s blessings we may easily find the answer we need and at times be taught what needs teaching without challenging experiences. We can welcome lessons with open arms and learn what is needed.

 

When shooting the rapids, why would we ever attempt to go against the current? Is it not far more productive to ride the current? We can then enjoy the ride. We can learn that the blessings from life’s lessons are sometimes in disguise.

 

Each of us have suffered and been hurt, but we will also experience happiness and contentment if we choose to allow these to enter and recognize them as such. When we open our mind to the blessings, our mind’s focus will help us uncover even more.

 

We create the quality of our lives each and every moment through our attitude. When we find ourselves caught up in unhappiness, process the lesson and then rekindle your connection to what makes you feel good inside. This will help you steer your focus to appreciation and help bring positivity back into the picture.

 

Our lives are but a moment in time – this moment, right now! We hold the secrets to our own quality of life, to our own contentment and to our own happiness. Focus and appreciate what is in front of you regardless of what it looks like. Challenge what needs challenging and adjust what needs adjusting. Life is in your hands.  What will you do with it?

FULL MOON OCTOBER 20, 2021

 We will be experiencing a Full Moon in the Cardinal, fire sign of Aries on October 20, 2021, at 10:56 a.m. EDT. This Full Moon occurs at 27 degrees and the Moon is in opposition to Mars at 23 degrees Libra. Although this opposition is out by 4 degrees for those sensitive to these energies this signifies an energetic and powerful combination, especially since transiting Pluto is square to Mars at 24 degrees in the sign of Capricorn.

 

In the past we have written about the square between Mars and Pluto which can be quite the power aspect in itself. Those with natal aspects close to these degrees (23/24 degrees) especially by conjunction, square or opposition to one of these planets will undoubtedly be experiencing the somewhat obstructive elements of these two planets in square to one another.  The opposition from the Moon to Mars along with the square to Pluto can create quite the disruption to the flow of life.  These energies often call for the commencement of action from outside sources, which in many cases suggests that others are involved in the equation.

 

The houses involved and the blueprint of the natal chart is informative when trying to define what these energies might entail. Pluto and Mars are both direct which suggests that the energies may not be overly aggressive and over time the incorporation of these energies into one’s life will be fully understood at a later date. Change and transformation is often a by-product and although often forceful and sometimes hard-hitting, the transition at hand is what is required. The houses involved will define what areas of life are involved and if the angles are part of the picture this often speaks of a more profound activity for the individuals involved.

 

Aries, the Full Moon’s position, calls for action and a push forward with objectives set out approximately 6 months ago. Things often come to a head or to fruition now and unfold as they should over the next several weeks. The energy and time invested in what is taking place is in direct correlation with how things evolve and develop.

 

Do not become too concerned with Mars and Pluto but you can expect some aggressive action and sometimes a push for power on some level. Any rash action or potential for aggressive action should be avoided and if possible, dealt with later, when Mars moves out of orb with Pluto by the end of October.

 

Aries (Moon sign) wants to facilitate action that works well for whatever plans enhance beneficial change.  Much depends on your natal chart as to how you might react. The natal chart always dictates however transits certainly have their part in the process.

YOU ARE READY

It is said that everything happens for a reason.

 

Are you opening the door to creativity, on any level?

 

Are you developing a skill set that makes you unique?

 

Are you entering a relationship that will change your life forever?

 

As our title suggests, this would not be happening unless you were ready, whether you feel ready or not. Change would not be happening unless the timing was perfect and in line with your path.

 

Nothing in life is by chance. Many times, we may not understand the reason or see the full picture or even believe that this is the case but that does not change the process.

 

Some of us may never question anything and some of us may question everything.

 

We may all have our own definition of significance, but it is my opinion that everything in life is significant. If we are truly living in the moment, the significance of any moment is purely recognized. If, however, we are constantly living in our minds and not aware of the moment, we may fail to recognize the moment’s worth.

 

Realize the importance of every event.  Each moment is meant to be.  Everything in life plays a significant role event if we do not understand it. You are here to learn, to experience and to explore. Do not miss anything. Do not let ego convince you that you are not worthy or that you are not ready; the time is now.

 

Enjoy the moment.

TRANSITING PLUTO CONJUNCT NATAL MERCURY

Mercury’ energies deal with our thinking process. By Astrology sign, it defines different manners of communication and how our intellect operates. Mercury has to do with the way we define our intensions and how we stand as individuals with our own objectives and reasoning abilities.

 

This is the only planet that needs something to stimulate it, as on its own it is neutral in its function. Transits, therefore, play a significant role in how we express ourselves. All natal planets and angles to our natal Mercury influence defining Mercury’s energies for us, but its sign placement and house position play a big part in how the mind operates.

 

Pluto is the planet of transformation, regeneration and the uncovering of life’s secrets which were learned through self-understanding and a willingness to go below the surface of matters. When transiting Pluto aspects our Mercury, it opens doors to learning experiences. By the time Pluto has passed beyond its orb of influence on Mercury in our chart, we will have questioned our thoughts and philosophies and probably made major changes along the way.

 

Pluto’s influence in the natal chart is never a passive one. Its demand for truth often brings out challenging conditions and power struggles that need to be faced. We cannot ignore Pluto and during this time, our will is tested, our judgement intensifies, and we are able to examine anything with great insight. What we dig up may not always be pleasant but what we find will be truth and these truths should be dealt with.

 

Do not ignore what Pluto is trying to convey. It is important and changes may be necessary to rise above details and position ourselves so that once this transit is over, we have made the necessary changes preparing us for what is yet to come. It is often a transit of magnificent changes and transformational experiences, although possibly challenging in nature during the experience of the aspect.

 

When working with the energies of Pluto, this transit can be used to our benefit as we dig ever deeper into the meaning of life. It will reveal what needs to surface and offers us opportunities to move above challenging conditions and/or to leave a stagnated situation.

 

This is a great aspect for self-study and any kind of research can have profound effects. Meditation would be very beneficial and will often open doors that were previously closed. This is a time of honest reflection as well as a time to realistically view life’s conditions. Once we have had the opportunity to reflect, we can make constructive changes that will further our growth in the right direction.

 

Currently (October 2021) transiting Pluto is in Capricorn and went direct on October 6.  Pluto is at 24 degrees and moves slowly until it goes retrograde once again April 29, 2022 at 28 degrees. Pluto’s energies work at their best while in direct motion, so take advantage of its full-blown energies after October 6, 2021.

TRANSITING URANUS SQUARE LEO AND AQUARIUS SUN

A square from transiting Uranus to the Sun will currently be experiences by those with their Sun in Leo and Aquarius. Currently Uranus is at 14 degrees Taurus, in retrograde. Uranus will not go direct until January 18, 2022. Although its energies are not fully realized we can still work with Uranus to bring needed change or something new into our lives.

 

Uranus seeks change, often through disruptive means. It requires those influenced by its energies to reach out for something new often on a different path. When linked to the Sun, there are often personal changes such as to goals in life, and occupation if there is a strong Capricorn emphasis in the chart. There could be changes to the home and family if a strong emphasis in Cancer or the fourth house, likely on a very personal level.

 

These changes brought forward by the transit of Uranus squaring the natal Sun might include physical changes; perhaps those influences by these energies wish to present a different image to the world. This would be evident if the Sun or Uranus is closely tied to the Ascendant. The individuals may decide to make changes in relationships of significance, especially if this square is connected to the Descendant. They could make changes to their health regime and orchestrate new practices with the way they look at themselves. This could include eating habits and exercise programs, especially if the sixth house or Virgo is part of the equation.

 

These individuals could make changes to the way they look after their personal finances, if the second house is connected, or changes to joint finances if the eighth house is part of the process.

 

They may aspire to move towards occult teachings and mystical practices if the eighth or twelfth houses are involved.

 

One thing is for certain with Uranus, anyone with this aspect can expect the unexpected.

 

Uranus will push for change with anything that has become outdated. Uranus will gently push at first and if the nudges are not acted upon, Uranus can force action that would be much more disruptive. These changes are often a requirement and although something may be adapted or faded out completely, especially if Pluto is involved, these are changes that need to be attended to. Do not ignore what Uranus is trying to initiate. It can be quite disruptive and unexpected in its manner of expression if these individuals are unwilling to co-operate.

 

After the change takes place (this could last up to a year to be completely over and even longer if Pluto is involved) things will not be as they were. The shift is often complete and irreversible, but these individuals will settle into the new way of life and life will be all the better because of it. Patience is certainly a part of the lesson we are speaking about, as is adaptability.

 

Freedom is key with Uranus. Those affected by these energies can find influence in many areas of life depending on the houses involved and natal aspects present. Locate where transiting and natal Uranus are in your chart, as well as your natal Sun.

THE VICTORY LAP

Understanding who we truly are can be a giant step towards life’s ultimate victory lap. A deep internal examination assists in understanding. We are not our accomplishments, although overcoming hurdles serves to build our confidence and a feeling of self worth. They assist in quietening the ego’s nagging concerning our insignificance, the “I can’t”, “I’m not smart enough”, I’m not strong enough and the list goes on.

 

The opinion of others on what we have done with our lives is also insignificant, as these opinions only serve to feed the ego.

 

Our vocation, our financial holdings, our place in community does not describe who we are. These things will soon be forgotten when we pass from this earth. Most likely, in two or three generations, no one will even know who we were.

 

The victory lap can be experienced once we are able to realize and acknowledge that who we are stems from within but even these are but pieces of the spiritual whole.

 

We have entered our current journey to broaden our experiences, and to grow from life’s events. We are spirits experiencing a human moment.

 

We are not defined by our thoughts, as even these are generally ego generated. We are not defined by our ego as ego only lives in the past or future. In the present moment, there is silence, a place of presence and a place of knowing. The ego cannot live in this moment. True “being” regardless of what the moment entails is neither good nor bad; it just is. It is the ego that defines/categorizes our moments.

 

Everything in our lives is meant to be. It is part of the experience and part of the purpose. There are no mistakes as every step of the way in the moment of experience is perfect unto itself. We can have moments of sadness (but this sadness is based on a past event or an anticipate event in the future). We, as spirit, cannot be hurt. Only the ego can be hurt.

 

We have always been meant to live in the circle of love. No ego to dominate or feel superior over others; no ego to cultivate hatred and war. Living in the moment without threat or ego, we can live in peace and gratitude. We are sacred beings living a human existence to discover and grow. We are to live in peace with ourselves and only then can we live in peace with one another.

 

Peace can only be found in the moment for in the moment there is no ego. In the moment, there are no thoughts of tomorrow, no thoughts of yesterday. In the moment, there is only here and now.

 

We are human so we will have earthly goals, but our greatest goal should be to reach that state of eternal awareness found only in the ever-present moment.

 

Live through love. We are to share our lives. Live in the moment and we will experience peace. In experiencing true peace in the moment, we teach others through example that life is not a destiny, but a journey traveled within the eternal moment. Peace and tranquility are reflections of the moment regardless of the chaos that happens around us. The moment holds no judgement and is complete within itself.

TRANSITING JUPITER DIRECT MOTION

Transiting Jupiter turned retrograde on June 20, 2021 and will become direct once again on October 18, 2021. When planets, with the exception of Saturn, are in retrograde their strengths are stifled and do not experience full and positive release of their energies.

 

Jupiter, even in retrograde, could still be referred to as positive energy although its fortunate conditions might not be as evident. Jupiter stays retrograde for about 120 days during its cycle and moves backwards from its original direct motion from 10 to 20 degrees while in retrograde.

 

Jupiter can make many angles to planets in your birth chart during its movement. Some are considered positive while others are considered more challenging. However, Jupiter will produce some form of growth and positivity under nearly all conditions.

 

While Jupiter is direct and particularly so when it becomes stationary direct and falls within three degrees of a planet or angle in your chart, its energies are very positive and growth to some degree is often evident. Jupiter’s stationary period, from October 17 to 19, 2021, is often very strong.  Jupiter will be at 22 degrees Aquarius. Check which houses and planets as well as angles are involved to get a clear picture of what areas of life will be involved, if any, in your natal chart.

 

Jupiter has to do with expansion and optimism and during the growth period (being direct) you can expect potential opportunities. Jupiter should bring good luck into your life. This, of course, depends on the area of life indicated in your chart. Even challenging links through hard natal aspects to this position will be somewhat softened due to Jupiter’s mighty influence. A feeling of good luck and fortunate conditions often prevails under this influence, and in many ways if we follow through, we might very well gain insight and advance.

 

Jupiter can also indicate over-indulgence and in some cases promotes weight gain when connected to the Ascendant, or just a general feeling that we cannot do anything wrong. Cautious optimism might be what is needed especially if connected to Saturn. Perhaps this is a time to recognize authority or situations involving power, especially if Pluto is involved. Pluto brings change and transformation. Be careful not to step on anyone’s toes.

 

Jupiter will be in direct motion from October 18, 2021, to July 27, 2022, as it moves through Aquarius and then begins its movement into Pisces and finally going retrograde at 8 degrees Aries. You can see it will make many conjunctions to those with their Sun in these positions over the next several months. It will also make many other aspects including trines and sextiles as well as squares and oppositions during this time as well. Use Jupiter’s energies wisely regardless of whether it is in direct motion or retrograde motion. This period can be favourable.
