LESSONS ALONG THE WAY

 You could say we have had some major distractions along the way over the past couple of years and that would be putting it lightly. The forecast surrounding the pandemic looks brighter but it has taken its toll.

 

Many are experiencing stress and anxiety and have reached out for help. Others have taken life as it is and accepted their fate, and yet others have fought tooth and nail over what they feel is excessive control and misinformation.

 

Many have questioned what to do and believe.  Who do we rely on to assist us in our journey?

 

Fortunately, many answers can be found within ourselves and other reliable resources. When reaching within we build confidence, courage, etc. Asking for assistance encourages trust and teamwork.

 

There will always be distractions along our path and we learn valuable information as we work our way through these lessons. Through these lessons, we realize how resilient we actually are and find strength that we never thought we had.

 

We will each make our way through these times. We will then look back at the lessons learned and in some way be grateful for what was taught. At times we struggle and at times we flourish.

 

What was the lesson?  I think part of it for sure was understanding the value of friends and family and getting to know yourself.  A new lesson seems to be placing itself on the table of life and I can clearly see a lesson on helping others in crisis presenting itself.

TRANSITING NEPTUNE CONJUNCT NORTH NODE IN PISCES

When this post was written in March, 2022, t. Neptune is in Pisces at 22/23 degrees. Those individuals with their North Node in the later degrees of Pisces will experience this transit at some point. You can give yourself an approaching orb of up to 3 degrees and a separating orb of 2 degrees. Some with a greater degree of sensitivity can feel these effects even earlier and lasting a bit longer. Those that were born late in 1950 and in and around January to May of 1988, as well as those born from September to December of 2006 will all be experiencing this conjunction in their birth charts.

 

Each individual due to their age and the house position of their NN will experience this a little different. If you were to have a look at your Natal (Birth) Chart and you pinpoint Neptune’s and the NN’s locations, they will indicate what area of life is affected. This is where your future (which is the primary focus of the NN) begins to unfold. This could be termed a “date” with “your calling” in life and will be a critical turning point in your life’s mission.

 

The NN in Pisces deals with awakening your spirituality and adhering to the higher principles in life, which in many cases would suggest following a path of enlightenment. It ventures to find a creative outlet through several different channels which is found within the house position of your NN. You will be pushed in this direction through a spiritual lifestyle or following your objective.

 

During the linking of the energies of Neptune and your NN through transit, the objective is to permit life to happen, without interference, and to let go of any anticipation that you have hold for your future. In other words, let life lead the way without restriction by you and have the faith to move with life, rather than trying to control life’s situation at hand.

 

You may be drawn towards what it is you have always wanted to do with your life, if you are clear on what that may be. For some because of Neptune’s ability to create fantasy or to cloud matters, they may find themselves lost with no clear direction. For others who are clear on their chosen path, this is a time of detachment from the mundane world and a time of financial liberation. The true objective with this placement is to move away from the material world and find your calling in the higher realms of existence and make a spiritual connection.

 

Open the door and allow true vision to enter your void. This vision has been waiting to accelerate into action throughout your life and the time is now. This is a turning point where your true life’s calling becomes activated, and you move into this new direction without the need to know the outcome or your future. You just move forward with the faith that life is taking you in the direction that you are supposed to go.

 

This position of Neptune will not happen again in your lifetime, and if you feel confused or lost with what direction you should take, pay careful attention to what is taking place in your life and your intuition will push you in the correct direction. Your journey in this life with the NN in Pisces is one which is very special with a spiritual connection and if you open the door to this avenue of expression, life will begin to unfold. You will eventually have a much clearer picture of what it is you should be doing with your life. For now, take advantage and pay attention to what life is trying to tell you and open the door to see where it takes you.  Enjoy your adventure.

BE CONSCIOUS OF YOUR FOCUS

If you reflect on who you are, without condemnation, who do you see?

 

How does this positive look at yourself fit into your perceived notion of who you are?

 

What frame of mind is this perception originating from?

 

We must take an honest look at who we think we are. Once we are being honest and open, we can deal with and eliminate any preconceived opinion that leads to a negative attitude about what we believe is our identity.

 

We are products of all of what we identify with (our actual focus in life). Unfortunately, we believe that our “perceived impressions” represent who we truly are. We are misled that any perceived negative manifestation is a part of who we are.

 

We are in a constant state of “developing” and what we believe to be true, we create by our perpetual focus.

 

If there is something about you that clearly misrepresents who you want to be, it is in your hands to make a conscious choice to allow or disallow this trait to continue to manifest (in both physical and mental terms). You are not at the mercy of your beliefs, unless you believe that you have no control of what transpires in your life.

 

Who we think we are is evidence of this. Who we think we are now is a formulation from our current beliefs and it creates the perception of us for today. We have manufactured this identity and it is our identification with it that allows us to perceive it as real. We use the term “identify” because this is what we are doing; identifying with a notion of what we believe is true. If we understand that our identification is what manipulates and shapes us, we will understand why this term is used so frequently. It reiterates the control we have over manufacturing our perception.

 

If there is something within us that does not feel right, we can let it go. Stop believing that it is part of you. You are the only person that makes anything in life truth for you personally. You manifest your beliefs over time and where you are and who you are now flows in conjunction with what you have allowed into your consciousness.

 

The saying goes that we become who we associate with. We are told this early in life. We are told to pick our friends carefully as it is easy to form ourselves into what is in front of us. However, we have chosen to take on this characteristic from our friend and to make it our own. It is all too easy to mirror what we see regularly. We mirror or manifest into our personality that which we think.

 

We control the manufacturing of all characteristics and traits. Do not place responsibility on others for what you experience in your life. What has happened in the past is in the past. What we do, say, think, feel today is a product of a choice we are making today. Let the events of yesterday stay where they belong...in the past. When we learn to channel your focus and your identification of self, your focus materializes on your new reality. The choice is yours.

 

Look within and find what feels comfortable and content and then hold on to these. Let go of anything that does not resonate in your core. You can release yourself from the grips of these qualities. You have been practicing this exercise your whole life but not fully understanding your ability to choose and create. It is time to acknowledge that you are manifesting your own reality through your intentions, through your focus.

TRANSITING SATURN SQUARE SUN

Transiting Saturn square to your natal Sun is in effect while transiting Saturn is in orb with your natal Sun. The influence is gone once the aspect is about 3-4 degrees past being direct (unless it goes into retrograde). When in retrograde, Saturn works in a more favourable manner teaching lessons and offering solutions. Although while in retrograde its actions are more internal, this is often a time of reflection.

 

When Saturn is direct, its influence is often more challenging. Saturn is known as the task-maker. It often makes life challenging and full of tests with added responsibilities. While in retrograde, we are not suggesting that these challenges are not present, but you may find a resolution. Once Saturn returns direct, you can move forward with the solution.

 

An inner planets can be used to establish timing (usually Mars, the Sun or the progressed Moon) to narrow down when activity is possible. The tighter the aspect between Saturn and your Sun, the stronger the energies become.

 

The Sun represents our path in life, our objectives, our aspirations and who we are on an internal level. The sign, house location and aspects from other planetary positions to the Sun define us.

 

The square is known to be a challenging aspect but one which is aggravating enough that it often motivates us to act to clear the obstacles present. While Sun square Saturn, we are often faced with difficulties and more responsibilities and we may feel this energy approaching. Our goals may be hindered in some way. Perhaps we feel forced to jump through hoops in order to get to where we want to go.

 

There are times when Saturn is also tied to authority figures and they may place extra duties on us or may not seem to be aware of our efforts. Under this aspect, you may find that it seems unlikely that you will advance in your career or that others get noticed before you.

 

If Saturn turns retrograde during this time, you may reflect on what action to take while in retrograde and act when it moves across your Sun by square when direct and an inner planet touches this connection. Quite often you can experience the transit of outer planets up to three times while they move from direct to retrograde and back again over a point in your chart.

 

Life may not go exactly as you planned but laying a foundation for what you wish to accomplish is advised. Understanding that Saturn is the teacher and offers important lessons. This will go far in offsetting some of the difficulties often associated with this configuration.

 

The natal chart must be reviewed in full to understand what transpires under any aspect. Each chart is different and this aspect will affect each individual in a personal manner.

TRANSITING URANUS OPPOSITION MARS

 Uranus while in transit to Mars is not considered a favourable aspect. Both Planets are disruptive and push for dynamic change. In some cases, this can suggest aggressive force, intrusive action, and oppressive energies. Uranus known as the awakener pushes for change where change is needed, and Mars does so with force and in some cases violent behavior.

 

This is a time to take great care in the handling machinery or sharp tools. Watch for aggressive drivers and arguments that can go beyond a verbal exchange. This can stem from outside sources as oppositions speak of other individuals creating the energies. Avoid challenging situations and never end an argument and get behind the wheel of a vehicle while still angry.

 

Uranus will eventually place you in a position where you will move forward and away from anything that no longer suits your growth. Often after the fact you will understand the purpose behind the events and the potential being provided when the aspect is direct. Uranus often acts as a timing device in Astrology so check your ephemeris to verify when transiting Uranus sits directly on your natal Mars.

 

Currently (early March) Uranus sits at 11 degrees of Taurus so those with their natal Mars around this degree will either have experienced this already or will be having this opposition affecting their Mars shortly. Uranus went into direct motion (January 18, 2022) which is more favourable than when it in retrograde, as it now has its full and more positive energies intact.

 

Those that have their Mars between 10-14 degrees will experience this energy again as transiting Uranus moves through these degrees (as it did before retrograde motion), but the energies are a little less intrusive than they were when transiting Uranus first passed over these degrees.  The first impact (depending on other energies which are present at the same time) is often the most powerful.

 

Our advice for those with these energies in place is to be careful and watch for putting yourself into aggressive or vulnerable positions during this contact. Understand that over time, change is often exactly what is required

ONE STEP FURTHER

Looking at our steady climb to the summit, there are points of satisfaction along the way when we feel a sense of belonging and comfort in our environment. When we refer to our environment, we are not referring to our place in society or our location on earth, we refer to our connection with ourselves on an innate level.

 

It is these inner truths/confirmations that we regularly seek. It does not matter where we have set our earthly feet for this inner exploration. What we have gained on a material level has nothing to do with our concept of self. With an ongoing exploration of self, we strive for the summit of understanding and slowly develop a connection with our inner core. Our soul’s energy is our true identity, and when we open the door to self-perception, we allow this energy to emerge, and we can connect.

 

This brings us one step further to our link with the whole, the divine, God, our source, or simply put “love”. Use the name with which you are comfortable.

 

The more peace we allow ourselves to experience and the less we identify with ego, the closer we align with our true self and reconnect with the whole.

 

The inner battles we wage actual do not serve a viable purpose. It never has, but we become so caught up in the battle we cannot see beyond it. These battles only create havoc. To find our inner peace, we must grow through love. Through love, our ego no longer defines life by fighting to keep control, fighting to be right, fighting to win the battle. In truth, there should never be a battle. The only battle that exists is the one we have put in place and have chosen to wage.

 

Ego let’s go when we take steps forward in faith. Letting go and letting love is our hardest lesson. Once the conscious decision has been made, it is not a difficult task. We have never actually been lost. We have just been living under the veil of ego. If we look with our hearts, we can easily recognize what ego is. Once we have this recognition, it is easier to not define ourselves by ego.

 

We have stated many times (and will undoubtedly repeat it many more), that we are a spiritual being living an earthly existence, certainly not the other way around. Open your heart and allow.
