NORTH NODE CONJUNCT THE NATAL ASCENDANT

 If your North Node is either 2 degrees before the Ascendant (last two degrees in the 12^th house) or 3 degrees past the Ascendant, your North Node would be considered conjunct the Ascendant. Conjunctions have an energy which has up to a 10-degree orb of influence, so the North Node ten degrees prior to the Ascendant and ten degrees beyond the Ascendant would still be considered a conjunction. The further away from the Ascendant however the weaker the energy.

 

When we are defining the energies associated with this placement it will of course be important to determine the sign of the Ascendant and the North Node and whether the North Node is in the twelfth house or in the first house. In this post we will not go into these positions as it would take many pages to incorporate all the possibilities.

 

With the North Node conjunct the Ascendant your objective in this life has to be personal and in many cases available for others to see. However there would be a huge difference between Aries and Virgo for example on the Ascendant or Leo and Capricorn. One thing is certain, you are here to explore your own personal destiny and facilitate personal growth through these experiences. This life is about you and not in egotistic term. You can’t advance your personal cause until you know what it is that you need and what you need to do.

 

In many cases this is about personal achievement and determination and directed energy to unleash your drive and ambition to succeed in personal ventures. You will need to do this for yourself first and once you accomplish this, you can pass this on to others. Even the way you dress and appear in public will be important. Much of course will depend on the aspects from other planets and your solar and lunar placements but personal ambition is highlighted.

 

With the South Node (opposite the North Node) tied to the seventh house or Descendant, a previous life of significance was much about your relationship with your spouse or in some cases business partners. You were here to learn about relationships of significance and how to balance the needs of those around you unlike this life’s requirements. Harmony and Peace were high on the agenda and although justice was very important you often sat on the fence so not to ruffle feather. You were the mediator and the judge but it was about their needs, not yours.

 

You can use the energies of the seventh house of fairness, balance, and harmony in this life to promote what you are here to do. Fairness and justice may also be a strong part of what you are meant to achieve. The seventh house is about balancing.

STEPPING OUT OF DARKNESS

When we have been struggling and our mental functions are overloaded, we can find solace through alignment with what our heart is telling us. The mind can run relentlessly over and over the same parallel thoughts and we can become bound by this repetitions. It can help if we get out of our heads and into our hearts to see ourselves through these times.

 

We spend countless hours reviewing and looking from every angle at what the mind is persistently telling us and this persistence sets the stage for more of the same. We become stuck in a thought and follow along blindly trying to make it go away. We give our mind control and we are prisoner without realizing we have choices.

 

Listen to that little, quiet voice reassuring you that things will get better. Our ego wants control and insists that the little voice is wrong and there is no way out.

 

Stepping out of darkness by recognizing our focus and redirecting our thoughts into another area often brings a turning point so that we can step beyond. Do not try to ignore what is transpiring or to stop thinking about it, this only gives it more attention. Shift your focus to something different or opposite of what you are fixated on.

 

If you are experiencing poor health, think in terms of being healthy and that this is already part of who you are. You need to rekindle the truth. If you have relationship issues, think of what is good about the other person and pay attention to the good in the relationship.  Working this way promotes more of the same and alters our focus.

 

We are not at the mercy of life! We must pay attention to how we think and focus. Our focus is a choice.  Where do you choose to look?

TRANSITING JUPITER CONJUNCT NATAL MARS

Transiting Jupiter often brings good luck, opportunities, and expansion. Jupiter opens doors and sometimes these doors deal with life’s philosophies, religious doctrines, and spiritual enlightenment.

 

The area of life is reflected by what house your natal Jupiter is found and what house Jupiter is transiting. When Jupiter is conjunct Mars, the likelihood of them being in the same house and sign is great although they can be in different signs and houses since you can use as wide as a ten-degree orb of influence.

 

Mars is about drive and the ability to pursue goals and objectives we want to explore. Any conjunction always merges the energies of the two or more planets involved. If, for example, natal Mars were also conjunct the Sun while in conjunction with Jupiter, you would have a merging of all three energies.

 

When Jupiter makes its conjunction to your Mars have a look at the aspects Mars is making in your chart to other planets or angles, as they will also be affected by this conjunction.

 

If, for example, your Mars was natally located in the fifth house, the expansion and positive energies linked with the desire for action and a push in life may be related to a love connection or your children or any creative endeavor. Perhaps you have been waiting on pushing ahead with a creative project. Now would be the time to pursue these areas of life, although over-optimism and a general feeling that nothing can go wrong should be noted and a reality check might be required especially if connected to Neptune in some way. However, Mars and Jupiter have the potential to go to extremes.

 

Life has its twists and turns but if the general energies connected to the natal potential is a favourable influence (defined by natal aspects to Mars and Jupiter) things have a greater likelihood to turn out nicely for you under this influence.

 

Remember the closer Jupiter is to making a direct contact to Mars, the stronger the energies.

 

Another example could be if this Mars and Jupiter’s conjunction was found in the eleventh house. This would still have the same energy push and optimistic approach as the previous example, but in this location, it would be related to your friends or perhaps some group activity that you have been pursuing or perhaps working towards starting up yourself. Just ensure that you are not jumping into something without taking the time to do the necessary prep work. Mars often acts in a hasty manner, so it is important to keep this in mind. In the eleventh house your hopes and wishes just might come true if these aspects line up.

 

Take a chance and go for it with this placement in your chart. As always, you must look at the whole chart to get the full picture.

 

In general watch for becoming overly exuberant, as enthusiasm and drive with a feeling linked to good fortune and favourable outcomes may be part of the profile with this combination.

EXPLORE THE UNEXPLORED

 Do not fear the unknown path. Explore all that is available. Take a few out-of-the-way excursions while on route to expand your experience. Sometimes we must break a new trail to grow, for our earthly education is not always found on the path most travelled.

 

You may be faced with a dangerous path and the route is so rough that it guarantees you will lose your footing. If you investigate, you may find that there is a parallel path which is much safer but still leads to the same destination. Do not choose a dangerous route, but do not be afraid to venture off the beaten path either.

 

If you are willing to venture, you will gain knowledge that the masses cannot gain from their location. If you know that your hesitation is a result of ego or if fear of the unknown is stopping you, listen to your heart. It knows the way.

 

We cannot grow from that which we already know or have experienced. Find your own personal path. You are unique. Why would your journey not be unique too?

TRANSITING NEPTUNE CONJUNCT NATAL MARS

Mars and Neptune’s energies do not blend well.

 

Neptune’ energies are soft and gentle. Neptune strives to slow down aggression and impulse and pushes you to connect with something higher. Neptune discourages any ego impulse. It seeks purity and focuses its energies into directions that assist others. Mars’ energies can be aggressive, dynamic, and even a bit impulsive. Mars is drive and ambition and is self-directed and often involves the ego.

 

Since Neptune can put a vail of uncertainty over anything it touches, you will have to watch for being mislead or misdirected. Neptune can be deceitful. What you see may not be what is.

 

Mars wants to direct energy in some cases into self-serving areas. If you manage to persuade Mars to channel its energies into constructive, mystical pursuits or spiritual insight, its energies will blend more appropriately with Neptune’s influence, although this may be a challenge.

 

Neptune will not push. It acts in a peaceful manner and knows that enlightenment is not something that can be pushed into existence. Its energies flow when the time is right. We cannot push hard to achieve mystical understanding, although we can direct our energy in the appropriate direction. Spirituality and mysticism are a way of life and must be lived not forced. There can be no ego connection in our spiritual unfolding. Any eagerness to succeed may hinder the results and this is a challenge for Mars as it wants to direct its energies and channel it in ways that will assist in reaching its goals.

 

Be sure to take care of yourself during this transit as there is potential for the weakening of the body and its function. Moderate exercise programs are suggested and eating a proper diet is equally as important.

 

Neptune can have the tendency to deplete our energies and anything that is rigorous and too stressful will tax us physically. Neptune also rules drugs and alcohol including prescription drugs. We should be warry of using any substances during Neptune’s stay with Mars. Any kind of upper or stimulant should certainly be avoided. The body is very sensitive. We should also watch for poisoning the body by mixing drugs and using them in inappropriate manners. Substance abuse is a real danger during this aspect.

 

Channeling the energies will be the greatest issue during this aspect, but if you meditate and act for the greater good, you will have done your best at directing these energies appropriately.

NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE DECEMBER 4, 2021

We will be experiencing a New Moon Solar Eclipse on December 4, 2021, beginning at 2:43 a.m. EST.  This Eclipse is at 12 degrees in the sign of Sagittarius.

 

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of good luck and fortunate potential.

 

New Moon’s energy has to do with new beginnings and this Eclipse strengthens this and brings hope and often hidden potential.

 

With transiting Uranus quincunx this position at 11 degrees in the sign of Taurus, there may be a surprising twist to the events defined by the house position of this eclipse in your Natal Chart.

 

This will be a time to begin a project, start a relationship, begin a new job or potentially find important information that can take you to a new level. Uranus in quincunx to this placement often points towards the need for adjustment on some level. Check to see where transiting Uranus and Natal Uranus are found in your birth chart to get a clearer understanding as to what this might mean for you.

 

Sometimes the adjustment that is necessary to move ahead in a new direction or begin something new and original can be challenging as we may have to leave something behind to advance our cause. New Moon’s always suggest new beginnings although you really do not need to be concerned about the outcome for some six months when we have the opposition (Full Moon) to this placement. However, they say that a solar eclipse lasts in years as the eclipse lasts in hours. This might well be an ongoing adventure. The first year will likely be the most engaging and the most eventful.

 

Eclipses have been known to shake things up and it may be time to leave behind what no longer serves a viable purpose. You may come to the realization that things need to change. This is likely to happen quickly and sometimes unexpectedly due to Uranus’ impact. Pay attention to what life is indicating and listen to where it is telling you to go. Sometimes there may be connections with religious inclinations or spiritual tones due to the placement in Sagittarius. Some may choose to move to far-away locations or travel as they embrace truth often through some traumatic condition or turmoil in their life. Do not fear Eclipses because they bring change that is necessary for evolutionary growth.

 

This Astrologer wonders if Solar Eclipses are tied to goals and aspirations from a mental perspective and if Lunar Eclipses are tied to emotional interaction. For those that are interested, take notes on how the eclipse’s energies affect you if you have conjunctions or oppositions to this placement. One thing is almost certain, things will be shook-up and destiny has a hand in what unfolds. Fate seems to have a powerful impact for those affected by Eclipses.

ALLOWING YOU TO BE YOU

 Are you comfortable being you?

 

Did your answer come from your mind or your inner self?

 

There is a difference. Did you hear the quiet deep answer?

 

There are many who live their lives as prisoners to what others want them to be. Some live completely dedicated to other people’s wants and needs. Some hardly know who they are because they have become too busy living other’s expectations. They have forgotten what they need and how to fulfill these needs.

 

Have you come into this life to be a servant to other people’s wishes or are you here to direct and live the life your soul requires (which can certainly include a higher calling of service to others)?

 

You cannot feed the masses if the cupboard is bare. Choices should include all factors containing your own requirements regardless of what others may think. You have needs, you have a voice, and you matter.

 

When you realize it is a perfect choice to be you, you can be your true self regardless of differing opinions. You can never be happy or content pretending to be something you are not.

 

Be you! There is no one better to be. You are denying everyone your uniqueness when you are not being authentically you.

 

You have come into this life to express self, to acknowledge self and to grow self. How can you do this if you are not being“self”?
