THE ILLUSION

You might ask yourself, “What doors am I unable to open?”

 

“What events will I be a part of during this journey?”

 

“Will I be able to perform my duties and fulfill my calling?”

 

These are questions of self doubt or of someone unwilling to let go and let life.

 

No door will remain locked if we are willing to use the key. Often, we are the key to these symbolic locked doors.

 

The answers we look for are not found on the other side of life’s veil. The answers we need are wrapped in each moment of living. Realization is not far-out ideas or imagined concepts that will suddenly show themselves. If we are open to all possibilities, the answers are at our fingertips. We do not have to go searching.

 

Truth is simple and available to us each day. It is not dormant, and it does not need to be discovered. It is already part of each of us, yet many struggle and push it deep down within. Some look so deep, they look beyond truth. It is part of simple everyday awareness, and it lives forever in the eternal moment.

 

Accept life in its simplest form. Do not complicate the equation. Enjoy life and see the glorious whole you are part of now. Have no expectations.

 

The illusion has us looking for something so peculiar that we feel it is too difficult to find. The simple truth is that we are already living our perfect life. We are looking so hard for something other than what we have that we take away from the riches we have. We have been illuded to think that the perfect life is something that is always out of our reach. As long as we keep searching for more, the perfection we already have will never be enjoyed.

 

Stop....breathe......take it all in. See the beauty in all that is. Feel the rush of energy that connects all living things. YOU are part of this miracle. What more could you need?

FULL MOON DECEMBER 18, 2021

On December 18, 2021, @ 11:35 p.m. EST we will be experiencing a Full Moon in the sign of Gemini at approximately 27 degrees.

 

All Full Moons occur when the Sun and Moon are in direct opposition to one another.

 

A Full Moon is a conclusion of something that had its roots set 6 months ago when the New Moon was in the same sign. The New Moon marks the beginning or start of the process and the Full Moon marks the culmination of the efforts that you have put forth over this period. You can harvest your efforts, make alterations to the plans or let go of the goal. The rewards or forward movement is defined by the efforts you put into this.

 

The sign and house position in the natal chart speak of avenues of expression (sign position) and area of life (house position).  With a Gemini Full Moon there is often a duality to what is unfolding. Sometimes there are two paths forward or two distinct directions to pursue.

 

Gemini is a mutable, air sign and the modality and element will have to be defined as well to provide you with further indicators of how these energies will pan out in your life. Gemini suggests that a degree of change and adaptability will be part of the profile. The element Air always suggests a degree of intellect and mental stimulus taking place especially when connected to Gemini or the third house (naturally ruled by Gemini).

 

If for example this placement of the Moon is in your second house, then the area of financial resources or stability may be part of what takes place. There could be a connection to the home or family or perhaps the occupation might be part of the picture if the fourth house or tenth house or perhaps the sixth house are part of the profile. If friends and groups are important and relevant to what is taking place then perhaps the eleventh house is connected and if there is a degree of concern with health matters the sixth or twelfth or the Sun and Ascendant might be involved. A thorough look to review all energies in the chart is necessary to get a clear understanding of what is enhanced at this time.

 

A conjunction or opposition or square from a natal position within two or three degrees must be in place for this Full Moon to have influence in your personal chart.

 

There is a trine from transiting Jupiter at 28 degrees in the sign of Aquarius currently bringing potential for positive experiences to unfold. Growth and opportunities may be in place if the rest of the chart agrees. Regardless of whether there are challenging links to this placement however we can always use the energies to help resolve issues later or learn valuable lessons due to the energies inherent in the chart at this time. Although there are indicators of difficulties there are always positive spinoffs from every event and our attitude always has a significant role in how life is determined by us individually.

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN

Could we possibly reach a point when we feel we have learned all there is to know?

Our material-based learning ends at the moment we pass from this life. Perhaps when we are discarnate, our education takes a new route.

 

Enough speculation! Until that day arrives, no matter how full our reservoir of knowledge feels, and our experience extends, we should never close ourselves off to gaining further knowledge.

 

The true lessons in life do not come from textbooks. The most valuable lessons come from experience. Many of our lessons may not be very passive, as those individuals that are on the road to self-discovery understand quite well. However, some tough lessons bring us to the most precious realizations and provide us with our greatest understanding.

 

Each step opens a door that previously was closed to us. These could be doors we never knew existed. Our attitudes change as we learn. Often this change in attitude is the key that unlocks new doors.

 

We learn much from open interaction with others and internal exploration with ourselves.

 

We are the keepers of our own personal wisdom. No one else learns from our unique experiences and life’s interchanges like we do. No one hears our internal dialogue. We are unique unto ourselves.

 

We are energy capable of unimaginable feats only limited by our beliefs and attitude. Our life’s quest has no limits but the ones we impose on our self.

 

Enjoy your ongoing evolutionary journey. Stay open.

 

Ingrained knowledge stems from a source which is far beyond the normal confines of understanding. Intuitive understanding comes from a place beyond human thinking. Where does this knowing come from? We will leave you to answer that question for yourself.

TRANSITING JUPITER CONJUNCT NATAL ASCENDANT

We are focusing on transiting Jupiter in aspect to the natal Ascendant.

 

If your Ascendant is in the late degrees of Aquarius or early degrees Pisces, Jupiter will currently be conjunct your Ascendant. T. Jupiter has been in the late degrees of Aquarius and early degree of Pisces since April, 2021 and remains in aspect until early 2022 when it moves further into the sign of Pisces.

 

In direct motion Jupiter moves about one degree every 4-5 day and it will not go retrograde until July, 2022.

 

Jupiter is what is referred to as the “feel good” planet and most anything it touches will have an atmosphere of good fortune and optimism attached to it. When Jupiter conjuncts the Ascendant, it often affects your relationships and brings you closer to those that matter. Even strangers seem to have a profound effect on you as you become more willing to expand your horizons and spread optimism into the world around you. When we speak of new people we meet, Jupiter will most likely be in the sign of Aquarius. These people may not be in your life long but will often have a personal affect on you nonetheless.

 

This transit is very positive for your health and promotes health consciousness. It may however bring about some weight gain as Jupiter tends to expand everything it touches. The Ascendant is closely linked to your body image, and you will have to watch for this potential. Jupiter helps us fight disease and infection and the body usually grows in strength and endurance especially if the Sun is connected to your Ascendant, particularly if through positive aspect.

 

In many ways, this is a particularly strong period of growth in the spiritual sense and often with religious overtones especially when connected to Pisces. Aquarius and Jupiter, being the ruler of Sagittarius can have similar effects. Life’s philosophy becomes more important, and you have a greater yearning for knowledge that exceeds the classroom.

 

Some experience travel at this time, meeting up with foreigners and learning about foreign cultures and traditions. The desire for travel is strong and if you are not able to physically travel, you will do so in your mind.

 

Meditation is a great technique to use as this transit becomes activated. You may discover new dimensions this way. Your view of life should expand during this transit. After this transit, you may view the world from a different perspective with clearer and more positive insights than you had before this period.

 

This transit along with any outer planet crossing over your Ascendant is indicative of a new beginning or new cycle of development and growth through education (especially when Jupiter is the connection) either through traditional learned channels or though experience in life. There is much to be learned during this time and transitions may take place especially if Pluto, Neptune, or Uranus are involved in the equation as well.

 

Enjoy this growth spurt when it is found in your chart and stay open to change and a new life direction with a more optimistic approach to what might lie ahead. Be prepared to let go of any disarray that may have been holding you down in the past.

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.
