COMMUNICATION

Many of us lead busy lives and spend much of our day tethered to our work, then driving, eating, cleaning and off to bed for another sleep to begin again. Many of us spend our evenings, relaxing in front of the television, scrolling through social media or playing interactive games.

 

Take a moment and think about what is lacking in our day.

 

Communication on a one-to-one, face-to-face level is slowly being replaced. We are so wrapped up in the apps on our phones that we have forgotten to be together with the people that are physically with us or would love to be with us.

 

We are slowly losing physical contact in favour of electronic amusement or conversation.

 

Our children are either watching television or gaming to occupy their time. If limits are not placed on these activities, children can become lost in their electronics. I recently read that there are direct links with the feelings of isolation, depression, distorted sense of reality, an extreme sense or no sense of self worth, lack of social skills, etc. with the overuse of technology with our children.

 

We are losing physical contact with friends and loved one and replacing this precious time with faceless interaction. I have personally experienced, as I am sure you have too, a group of people sitting together in a room and most of these people completely focused on their cell phones to the point that they cannot carry on a proper conversation with those in the room. How can we enjoy friendly conversation, interact, and share our experiences?

 

Technology certainly has its place and if used correctly can enhance the quality of our lives. These tools are important for communicate with friends and family who cannot be with us. These tools are important learning tools with the vast information available if we take the information from reliable sources. These tools are also great to unwind.

 

Use your technology but be sure that it is not at a cost to your family and friends. Share your life with those that are with you physically as well as with those that are on the other end of your phone. Ensure that your children develop all the skills that they will need to enrich their lives.

 

Nothing will ever replace a one-on-one conversation, a gentle touch, a hug or a kiss!

TRANSITING PLUTO TRINE SUN IN VIRGO

T. Pluto is currently in the sign of Capricorn, and because of its slow movement, it will remain in trine to many of those with their Sun in Virgo for many years (depending on the degree of their Sun). Pluto moves about one degree each year and its influence is deep and profound. Pluto’s energy brings about transformation as it pushes issues to the surface that need to be dealt with. When in aspect with the Sun, its energy speaks of inner qualities that you may have kept hidden or decided for one reason or another not to deal with. Under this energy these inner issues may surface and insist on being faced.

 

Since the aspect between the Sun and Pluto is a trine, the opportunity for releasing these issues and making concrete and significant alterations can be profound. The energies will be favourable and you can, after releasing any unwanted emotions or issues, express yourself in a more constructive manner. There is great power in the transformations taking place and can be used for personal development. Your evolution will be strongly influenced by what you do with your life during this aspect. Your personal insight is also enhanced and any changes you make on a personal level can be quite favourable.

 

Since the Sun reflects your goals and aspirations in life, now is the time to move towards any objectives that you might have in mind, particularly if you have been pondering them for some time. The timing may not have been right in the past, but it is under this aspect. Have a look at other influences in your chart to ensure there is nothing counteracting this energy. This is a particularly positive time for advancement in the professional field, especially if Jupiter or Venus is involved too.

 

You will find that you have a lot of drive, and success comes from taking advantage of these opportunities while the energies are flowing freely. The Sun can also relate to your father, and he may have these opportunities emerging in his life. Much, of course, depends on the condition of his natal chart too.

 

Health and vitality will also be influenced by this trine, especially because Virgo is the sign we are focused on. Virgo is focused on health, exercise routines, eating habits and consciousness related to the body. If there have been any ongoing issues related to health, this is a good time for regeneration and for vitality to surface. Astrologically, trines are considered easy flowing aspects. They remove blockages and allow the energies to flow more freely. This is a great time to begin an exercise program and dedicate some time to look after your body’s needs. Setting things in motion can have lasting effects later in life. It is the time to push ahead.

 

With your Sun in Virgo, make sure you take advantage of the energies present, especially now. This is a useful and transformative aspect that will regenerate many areas of life. Do not squander this opportunity.

THE LIGHT WITHIN

Regardless of where life takes us, we have a radiant light within that shines constantly. It does not matter where we are, it is ever present and never wanes. It is brilliant…..always.

 

This inner light is our higher most self, our connection to source. It reflects who we are and lights the way on our journey. This inner light is in perfect harmony with all that is. It is love. It is peace. Call it what you will.

 

This light, this guiding force radiates our path every moment of everyday, regardless of how alone we may feel in the moment.

 

It is the quiet voice that assists us. It is the guiding beacon that points the way. It is the quiet knowing that always is. This quiet knowing will intensify as we recognize its presence. It nurtures growth. It soothes pain. It relieves anguish. Its potential knows no bounds.

 

This inner light is who we are at our very essence. It is the flower of existence that never fades.

TRANSITING VENUS CONJUNCT NATAL SUN

Venus, in transit, takes over one year to complete its cycle around the Sun. It takes approximately 18 months from one retrograde period to the next and its retrograde cycle is approximately 40 days in length.

 

Many people have Venus conjunct the Sun in their birth chart as it is never more than 48 degrees away from the Sun.

 

Venus is a feminine planetary influence and is linked to the sense of touch, material things and love. It has to do with kindness and politeness and adds a flair for wanting to be around beautiful things.

 

When Venus is direct motion, its energies want to manifest harmony, peace, beauty and love. When it is retrograde, its energies are the reverse, often taking on energies like that of Mars. With this retrograde influence, we can become more aggressive, and the drive may still be towards gaining material abundance although when it is attached to business activities, its influence is often to slow things down or even move into reverse for a while.

 

Venus when in conjunction to the Sun will only have a lasting influence of about 10 days unless it moves into retrograde.

 

Much of its influence will depend on other planetary energies during the same period when Venus is in aspect to your Sun.

 

Many Astrologers only use the transits of outer planets to natal Venus as the energies are often far too short lived to make any significant changes in our life (when using the energies of the inner planets). However, Venus’ cycle will still have an impact on what takes place in your life, but its influence will be quite short lived.

 

You will find that the feelings of affection are increased, and your sensitivities are also enhanced during this aspect. You may want more social time with others, and you will express yourself in a comfortable manner. Venus and the Sun usually go together very well unless there are other mitigating factors making challenging angles to this conjunction. You may feel inclined to go out and enjoy yourself, and to look after your own needs. You may find relaxation and the challenging conditions in life may be swept away at least for a while.

 

Sometimes with this aspect, you will need to make things happen. Other times, things just seem to flow your way. Sitting back and waiting for life however is never a good idea. Take life under your wing and have some fun.

 

You may run into someone that adds meaning to your life. This applies to both women and men, but Venus usually indicates those more female in nature. Women, in general, may be lots of fun to be with now. Women seem to enjoy these energies a little more than men.

 

Venus is also about creativity and artistic abilities. You may find that pursuing anything along these lines may work in your favour. The energies flow well and you may enjoy creativity more now than usual.

 

Starting a new project might be a good idea and make sure that you surround yourself with visual complements that help you settle into things. Beauty is important and you can create wonderful things during this short stay with the conjunction between Venus and the Sun.

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT VENUS IN TAURUS

Transiting Uranus moved into Taurus on a permanent basis in March, 2019. It will remain in the sign of Taurus until 2026 although it does move into Gemini and then goes retrograde prior to that time near the end of its Taurus cycle. Those with Venus in Taurus will either be experiencing this conjunction, or they have already had this conjunction in their charts prior to this post.

 

This post will apply to anyone who has their natal Venus in Taurus at any degree. Venus’ energies are gentle and mild-mannered. They represent love, compassion and are social. In the sign of Taurus, these energies take on a new flavour. Although Venus’ energies stay in place, they will now be influenced by the energies of Uranus. Someone with Venus in Taurus can be very passionate in the pursuit of love and romance, seeking stability and structure. This is a gentle placement for Venus with a desire to form a permanent relationship.

 

Venus in Taurus is searches for something reliable and will build over time. Now imagine this combined with T. Uranus. Uranus is known as the awakener and really wants to stir up anything that has dormant. It seeks something new and wants excitement. Uranus’ energy will be a lot for Venus to handle, and you would be far better off taking the necessary time during this aspect before jumping into situations, especially involving romance.

 

If a relationship has gone stale, this may be the time when you want to wake it up, add some zing to make it exciting again. You may do things on impulse and act out of the ordinary while this combination is in place. You may also reach out for something new especially if in the past you have tried to invigorate your relationship with no success. Make sure you have exhausted all avenues before making a rash decision. Ensure that you are not jumping into something you only perceive as love at the moment.

 

Since Venus is about socializing, you may find that you are invited to weird and eccentric get-togethers with different people. You can expect the unexpected during these occasions. If Neptune is involved you may fall in love with someone exotic and find them refreshing and unusual. Again, make sure you see what is there if Neptune is involved as it can be quite illusive. You might be disappointed later if you jump now. Ask a friend for their opinion or take some time before jumping into action.

 

All in all, this could be a very exciting time. You can meet new and exciting people and enjoy life. Have fun and enjoy the energy wisely.

 

Any get rich schemes that might show up during this period must be investigated thoroughly. Ensure you understand all angles before you make an investment. Avoid impulse because Venus can also speak of finances.

SHIP OF LIFE

Why do we seem to not learn through easier lessons?

 

Is there some other way to teach us lessons so that we can still reap the full understanding we need to learn?

 

If we had control over every event in our life, would we shelter ourselves from the full lessons we need to learn and choose an easier path?

 

Life teaches us what we need to learn, but why then do we fight many of the lessons?

 

There is little choice when the lessons are presented, and we must adapt to these conditions. They are what they are. Quite the statement, but ultimately this is the truth.

 

Fighting lessons often serves to make what feels difficult even harder. It may appear in the beginning that we are winning when we are paddling up stream against the rapids but eventually we tire, and the current will take us downstream where you were meant to go in the beginning. Face your kayak of life downstream right from the get-go. Climb in and enjoy shooting the rapids. Ego tells you to paddle against the current but what does this accomplish?

 

We are well equipped to handle most of life’s events. There are times when we travel in a single person kayak but there will be times when we must utilize a guiding vessel. Call upon the best mates you can to help navigate. A dear friend, trained professionals, our higher self, our guides, and Source are the best shipmates available.

 

We make the decisions on how to sail through this life by our attitude towards the waters we ride. Attitude and belief structure are key ingredients in resolving issues that enter our lives. When we meet with a trained professional, they do not do the work for us; they guide us to understanding but, in the end, we make the adjustments that are necessary.

 

Regardless of how we address our journey, we are in control and have the strength required. Work as hard as you need to in order to control your ship. All rapids end and you will enjoy the calm waters once again.

TRANSITS TO TAURUS SUN

When we look at transiting aspects to Taurus Natal Sun our first focus would be transiting Uranus which is making a powerful conjunction to those born with their Sun in the mid-degrees of Taurus. (Currently April 2022, T Uranus is at 14 degrees Taurus). On August 24, Uranus moves into its retrograde cycle at almost 19 degrees Taurus.

 

T. Uranus, known as the awakener, will push those with this influence to make changes, seek new and different objectives and perhaps act in a bohemian manner which can catch others by surprise. They may make sudden changes to their path in life and the directional change can have profound effects as time passes. This can affect their path in life and  their relationships, occupational directions, new and different ways of presenting themselves and moving away from anything that has gone stale or offers little in the area of evolution and new understandings.

 

Much will depend on the area of life that is being stimulated through the house position in the natal chart. Oppositions can create similar events but in most cases other people are involved and the change of direction will stem for these people that are part of the picture.

 

T. Mars and T. Jupiter will make sextiles to the Sun in the Taurean’s chart. Sextiles speak of opportunities and easier flow of energy. It will be up to the Taurean to act on the impulse of Uranus, however. Many will fight change due to Taurus’ fixed energy although it certainly looks like change is on the horizon. Taurus likes what is reliable and steady and does not do well with unexpected and sudden change that Uranus as well as Mars can bring. Taureans may fight the desire and push to change direction. Moving in a new direction may be frightening although after the challenge to move ahead is overcome many will find that the move was what was required.

 

Those with their Sun sign in the later degrees of Taurus will also be experiencing the trine from Pluto. Pluto speaks of dynamic change and leaving the past behind to move in a more suitable direction. Some will feel at the mercy of life at this point and feel as though there is no choice. We always have input into what unfolds and our attitude towards life’s events is always in our hands. Much of what happens will depend on the houses involved.

 

Many of these transits look positive in nature but it will still likely feel difficult to make the moves that will be required.

 

To our Taurean readings, Happy solar return!
