WHERE WILL LIFE LEAD ME?

Have you ever pondered where you will be in your golden years? Will life be easy at that stage? Will you enjoy good health? Will your mind fail you? Will you continue to grow and move forward on your path? Who will you be?

 

We are always on our path, even when it seems we are being led astray. There are twists and turns in our road of life and yes, every one of us will be taught some hard lessons. Sometimes, if we get caught up in judgement and expectations, life will feel unfair. We may wonder why some seem to have it so easy when we have considerable strife to contend with.

 

Can you accept the concept that we have set the stage of this life long before we arrived? It is much easier to accept the course of life if we accept that we are on purpose and that we have set the plan in motion. If we take responsible for the lessons at hand, we then have no choice but to take control of our lives. We can blame no one for its course.

 

Our focus has an immense impact on the quality of our life. If we focus on negativity, life will be more negative. If we focus on positivity, our life will be more positive. It is as simple as that but redirecting our focus can be a battle.

 

We picked this life and each of its lessons for a spiritual purpose. Our higher self knows what we need to expand and grow.

 

Now I return to our earlier question, “Who am I?” Remember the answer to this question is your own personal concept. It is not important what others think of who you are or what you have accomplished. It only matters what you think! The important lessons could be learning unconditional love and compassion.  These make you who you are.

 

Have you developed a meaningful relationship with yourself?

 

Can you let go of struggle through acceptance? Recognize your own personal abilities and put them to good use.

 

Do not allow your own personal view of yourself to be tainted by what others say or think. Ego will want to run with this information, but ego knows nothing about true living. We are not that voice that says we are no good. We are the one listening to that voice. They are two different things.

 

Your attitude and belief structure play a significant role in how your life unfolds. Your concentrated efforts and focus are making life what it is and that is all that really matters. In many ways we are spectators of this unfolding life. Destiny will have its way, even if we have a part in the overall development. It is best to take life one day at a time. Do not allow the imagination or mind to run wild with what “might” happen. Be content with what is unfolding right now in this moment, but yes, have goals in mind.

 

Life has purpose even if we do not completely or minutely understand it. Live in the moment. You will miss many great moments if you are living in the past or living through anticipation for the future. Enjoy the present moment for that is all that life is right now. Know that you have purpose, believe in your potential, and have faith that you are always on course no matter what the outcomes or how life looks. Life always shifts. Ride the wave, experience and learn what life is trying to teach you each moment along the way.

PLUTO DIRECT

 Pluto is in retrograde for approximately 150 days over the span of a year. Pluto has been direct since early October, 2021 and will remain direct until April, 2022.

 

Pluto’s energies are very powerful, and its influence begins as a subtle push and often ends with dynamic actions and transformations that often change things forever. What once was, no longer prevails!

 

Pluto is defined by its ability to raise or provoke matters to the surface and orchestrates action into whatever area of life is being focused on. Pluto conjunct the Sun is the most powerful of these interactions in the horoscope.

 

Pluto moves forward approximately one degree per year taking in its speed of travel and its retrograde and direct motion.

 

Pluto, when direct, is power and mastery. It leads! Pluto in retrograde becomes what could be referred to as a follower.

 

Pluto’s energies reflect inner strength and the ability to go deep within and dig up unwanted matters that need to surface. Pluto calls for these matters and the emotions attached to them to go through whatever it takes to make them work for you regardless of how intrusive its action might be at the moment. Sacrifice and correct to reap the benefits in the future.

 

Pluto leads to internal confrontation and uses its energies to force change. We are pushed to let go of things that no longer serve a purpose. When direct, Pluto forces these issues and makes us act. When in retrograde, often we are undergoing this process subliminally and we make decisions on an internal level which we can put into play when Pluto moves into direct motion.

 

Those individuals that are highly sensitive to the energies around them can feel Pluto’s energies as much as 5 degrees approaching and 2 to 3 degrees separating. However, in general the most powerful period of Pluto’s influence will be when it is 2 degree approaching, becoming more powerful until it becomes direct at 0 degrees.

 

Pluto is highly influential when it is in conjunction or in any other major aspect with another planet. It is never in retrograde when in conjunction with the Sun, but it is always in retrograde when it is in opposition. It can be retrograde or direct when aspecting any other planet although its retrograde and direct motion to outer planets does not happen very often because of its slow speed of movement.

 

Remember that Pluto’s effects are related to power--sometimes power struggles, ego confrontation and/or the ability to lead the masses. In many cases, the retrograde and direct cycle can affect a given planet three times before the planets or angles finally move out of orb and loses influence.

 

When deciphering Pluto’s influence in your chart, check to see which house it is transiting, which planets or angles it is making aspects to and where Pluto resides in your birth chart. The house position represents the area of life being affected and the planetary energies will be highly affected by Pluto’s energies in passing. The more challenged Pluto is during transit and the more challenged it is in the natal chart, the greater the chance of disruption on a very influential scale in your life. The more aspects it makes, the more powerful the influence will be. This also has effect when Pluto is forming positive aspects in your chart. Even when the aspects are favourable, the residue from its connections still has some challenging ramification, but its delivery is more subtle, and you can work your way through things in a much more gentle manner.

 

Review how Pluto is affecting your chart and see how it plays out especially if it makes a direct aspect to a natal planet.

 

Have an open mind and be ready for change. Understand that the whole picture will be revealed over time. Sometimes it takes up to two years before you truly understand what took place because of Pluto’s influence. Patience will be a valuable lesson during this period. Remember these influences were needed and there will be benefits when all is said and done.

TRANSITING SATURN TRINE NATAL NEPTUNE

Transiting Saturn turned direct October 11, 2021, in the sign of Aquarius at 6 degrees. It will remain in Aquarius until March 2023 when it moves into Pisces.

 

For the trine between transiting Saturn and natal Neptune to be part of your chart at present you would have to have your natal Neptune in Libra. Those born between 1943-1957, have Neptune in Libra however Neptune did move into Scorpio during this time frame. This post would apply to those with Neptune between 6-29 degrees in the sign of Libra. Saturn moves between 6-25 degrees in Aquarius and then goes into retrograde in June of 2022.

 

Saturn is known as the task maker of the zodiac and is associated with building structure in our lives through diligent effort and often not without some type of hindrances. Hard work is often related to Saturn’s energy, but with a persistent effort much can be accomplished. Saturn can solidify what has been challenging us but will help by brings reality into the picture when we are dealing with Neptune.

 

Neptune on the contrary is the planet most associated with the mystical approach and is known to be associated with the psychic realm of things. Neptune does not have structure like Saturn. Neptune is considered illusive and mysterious. Neptune is otherworldly and can create illusions or visionary interludes in our lives.

 

When Saturn and Neptune are in trine, Saturn insists that we look at life as it truly is, not through rose-colored glasses as Neptune often does. The two planets together can bring us firmly down to earth and at the same time offer insight and inspiration to what we apply to our life’s path. There may be questions as to what is real and what is not real, and we will have to put forth effort to uncover what needs to surface. The energies are working in our favour, and we can come up with viable conclusions to what we seek to discover or realize.

 

The houses transiting Saturn is moving through as well as the house natal Neptune is placed in will provide you with the areas of life involved. You should also check the placement of Saturn in its natal position. This is usually a favorable position as trine energy suggests easy movement and opportunities. Reality sets in and how you use these energies will define the path moving forward.

 

Some astrologers suggest due to Saturn’s delayed energy that 2 degrees past direct is when Saturn is at its peak. Saturn often speaks of responsibilities and obligations to meet and there may be duties to perform to bring about the best results. Take advantage of these energies if this is part of your chart. Use these powerful energies to direct your life’s path appropriately.

WISH LIST

If you could have only one wish, what would it be?

 

What would be the ramifications of that wish and how would it affect others?

 

Life is a magic moment. We are presented with hard moments representing lessons to grow and wonderful moments to relax and enjoy.

 

If you reviewed your life to this point, how would you categorize it? Was it filled with wonder? Was it magical and inspirational?

 

What did you learn and what would you pass on to others about how to live their life?

 

If you are so inclined, take a moment to write down some of your answers and then reread them. What is your reaction? Was the theme sad, enlightening, exciting? Were their priority events?

 

Your conclusion and emotional response to this review defines your current moment. Can you see how attitude plays a significant role in your determination of your life? Watch how your reactions take hold of your emotions and bring back memories.

 

Now go back to your original wish. Is it future oriented, does it relate to the past or is it related to this moment? Is it personal in nature and could you share it with others? Does it bring a smile to your face, and do you believe it could happen?

 

Now ask yourself what’s holding you back from making this wish a reality?

 

If it is too far-fetched? If you believe you could never reach it, change your attitude. Attitude and beliefs play a significant role in all things.

 

For the next month, while standing at the mirror brushing your teeth, repeat a mantra that suits what you wish into fruition.  Make it short and easy to remember. Don’t worry about believing in it in the beginning. The mind will play with your new thoughts and the ego will likely get in the way. As time passes you will start to recognize that maybe a portion or the whole of what you wished for is possible. It may not manifest exactly as you envisioned, but it manifested.

 

Anything is possible if we pay attention to our thought patterns and our connectedness to what they are. Identifying with any thoughts build over time and in some way manifests. Pay attention to your belief structures and expectations as they play an important role in life.

 

You control many aspects of life even when life seems to dictate. You have full control of your attitude.

 

What will you bring forward and how will it affect you?

 

Begin now.

NEW MOON NOVEMBER 4, 2021

The New Moon, November 4, 2021 at 5:14 p.m. EDT at 12 degrees Scorpio heralds a time of new beginnings with a somewhat intense energy. There are no halfway measures about the energies of Scorpio. Concentration often related to deep and personal inner dialogue, and a certain degree of secrecy is likely how those affected by this New Moon will begin the journey.

 

There could be sexual energies involved and a strong commitment to resolving any issues and getting to the truth of the matter. The areas of life involved will be dictated by this New Moon’s position in your chart and how other planetary energies apply. Scorpios’ energy can be somewhat subdued but don’t be fooled by this; the energy runs deep although much may be kept inside.

 

If this is about a relationship, expect intensity and strong sexual energies. If this is about finances expect the potential for legacies and joint matters to be involved. If this is about occupation and career, one step at a time and much deliberation can be expected. Changes are likely to unfold in many of these areas depending on which areas are highlighted now.

 

Transformations take place with no turning back in many cases for good or for bad.  Much will depend on your attitude and if you find ways to share your experience and unleash the internal dialogue which is taking hold.

 

Scorpio is a fixed, water sign, with deep emotions and a very sensitive, often intuitive understanding into the workings of what lies beneath the surface of life.  This sign is connected with the occult and entering the sometimes-unknown territories of life.  You may go places within that you have not travelled before and dig up truths that need to be faced and acknowledged and then dealt with accordingly.  Investigative work may be part of the picture and following your gut reaction may assist in uncovering what needs to surface.

 

Transiting Uranus is in opposition to this New Moon’s placement. Uranus is currently (November 4^th, 2021) at 12 degrees 50 minutes in the sign of Taurus, in retrograde.  Uranus is known as the awakener and enhances energies that bring forth change. It seeks the new and unusual and wants to break free of any restrictive elements in life.  Its action is often sudden and abrupt and there is usually little notice when it strikes.  The changes brought forth by Uranus are somewhat impulsive and perhaps even a bit erratic in nature, but they are necessary for our evolutionary path forward.

 

A New Moon has to do with beginnings and often fresh starts.  You may review the past and make decisions about how to move forward or you may advance in a new direction without much concern for where you may have been. Watch for jumping and in most cases, you should not make significant changes just for the sake of change. Take note and review your next choices before plunging ahead. In some cases, life may lead and you have to ride the wave for the time being, but know that you are moving in the right direction.

 

Check for conjunctions, oppositions, squares from natal placements to this degree of the New Moon and you will get a clearer understanding of what to expect.  Use an orb of 3 degrees (9-to-14-degree mark) for the most powerful energies to unfold. The more challenging aspects will promote rapid change and disruption to life’s normal flow and sometimes in difficult ways. The softer aspects will promote opportunities and easy flow and build as time goes by. Use these energies to advance a cause or for personal transformation. Know that regardless of the energies in place every life event can be used for our advantage regardless of what it might look like as it unfolds.

FINDING THE SOLUTION

There is a feeling of great satisfaction when we remedy an issue on our own. We followed our inner guide and took control on a personal level. By conquering the issue, we have reassured ourselves that we can rely on self which builds confidence. 

 

By attempting to resolve an issue, successfully or unsuccessfully, we have grown stronger.

 

There will be times when we exhaust all efforts to resolve problems and there just may not seem to be a resolution at hand. We can reach the end of our “ropes” and are ready to give up. As a last resort, we reach out for outside help. Sometimes all it takes is another person to listen and as we explain our situation, the answers come into focus. Other times it is just that ear that we need so as not to feel alone. There will be times when we need someone else’s guidance as we are too close to the issue to clearly seeing (or thinking) the solution.

 

Sometimes the issue becomes so overwhelming that even our closest friends or family cannot help provide us with answers. During these times, reach out for professional assistance. They are trained to guide you to understanding. We cannot allow our ego to get in the way of reaching out.

 

Whether we recognize a solution or someone else assists us in finding a resolution, in the end, we are the ones that must do the work. Whether we stand alone or with others, we are strong enough to overcome and see anything through. Recognize that strength. Know that you have what it takes. Stand tall. Step forward. You have this!

MOON SQUARE SATURN (Natal aspect)

Those individuals that Saturn has a square aspect to the Moon in their natal chart likely have a difficult time expressing their emotions. This is particularly true if, for instance, Mercury is also square to the Moon perhaps in conjunction with Saturn. These individuals may appear emotionally distant, cold or detached, but this may not hold true on an internal perspective, especially if the Moon is in a water sign.

 

When we look only at the Moon and Saturn (without any other influence), these individuals may be hesitant to express their emotions. Perhaps there could be a reluctance to display emotions because they were restricted emotionally by a parent. Quite often those with this combination had a challenge due to the resistance of emotional release from the mother, and as a result, they were not permitted or were held back from releasing their emotions. They may have been pushed to bury their sensitivity at a young age. The Mother or more feminine parent may have been a strict disciplinarian and always showed strength and determination. This parent may have wanted to pass this on to their children. Much will depend, however, on the sign of the Moon and its house placement in the natal chart.

 

The Moon also is reflective of our nurturing abilities and our protective instincts towards our own children and those that we deem to be emotionally in need. Individuals with this square would most likely have a protective urge and would keep their children within arm’s reach. There may be a fear that their children need to be protected and they will do so with great intensity. There may also be challenging conditions linked to nurturing and their ideas of nurturing may be tight fisted and there would be a lesson of learning to have a softer response. These individuals could be hard on their children and also hard on themselves from an emotional perspective.

 

Saturn can also be reflective of a demanding authoritative figure.

 

In personal terms, this combination can suggest an individual who is very controlled and disciplined always appearing to be in control of life’s situations and never showing their sensitivities. Emotions may be viewed as a weakness and even when they are experiencing turmoil within, they appear restrained and measured.

 

Saturn is the disciplinarian but also the teacher. Although the road to emotional expression may be hindered, the goal may be to restrain oneself in emotionally intense situations and in turn to learn from this approach.

 

Control may be a lesson in this life. A more relaxed and slower but deliberate release of emotions may unclog the tension that this natal aspect might hold. Letting go of fear can reduce this tension and it is important to know that all challenging aspects in the birth chart can be remedied if the individual is willing to put in the work to overcome and learn from the aspect. If they can do this, the energies will no longer bond them.
