THIS LIFE’S FINAL DOOR

The ego expresses itself on many levels and there are several ways of looking at this companion or “master” force. Identifying with the ego is of paramount concern as it can take you places that both create concrete results or entangled concepts that are anything but effective in their nature or for your growth. As you walk with your ego, watch for identifying with the voice that says you are better than others, deserve more than others.

 

When we come to terms of being equal as spirit (as our whole essence), and that each and every one of us are in the pursuit of true happiness and enlightenment, regardless of what enlightenment may mean, we begin to get a grasp of how the ego transcends on our attitude of self. At some point, we all walk together towards the road of death of this material lifetime and everything we have gained spiritually will be on our minds when we near the end.

 

If you have spent your life high on who you are and what you have accomplished in your life, whether that be abundance in the material world, or advancement in the concept of doing what others could not do because of your intellectual abilities, where does this leave you when on deaths door?

 

How did it move you forward as you prepare for the final stage of this life’s mission?

 

In the end it does not matter what you have attained during this life unless it is something that will not be left behind upon death. If you have chosen a life of service, one where in your own way you have assisted others and helped them find a place of happiness, you can move into your final moments with a sense of contentment that will not be found elsewhere.

 

You may leave behind a legacy of financial security; however, money is fleeting and often leads to wanting more. Leaving behind a memory, or better still, an example of how fulfilling life can be lived is far more reaching and may sway others into a direction more appropriate to their evolution while on earth.

 

As you mature and evolve into spirit, you may find that giving without measure actually gives internal rewards that far outweigh any material success you may gain. Providing a shoulder to lean on, a smile of reassurance or a congratulating handshake can be far more effective in motivating others and helping them believe in themselves.

 

When it is all said and done, how will you be remembered and what will your achievements provide for those left behind?

 

Ensure that the example you provide is one of love and growth.

 

When you shed your earthly skin, what legacy will you leave behind?

FATE AND OUR OWN FREE WILL

Some questioned free will vs fate and what influence and choices we have in life.

 

What is your definition of “Free will”?

 

Many believe that free will plays little to no part in what road life takes us down. Has destiny simply laid out the path and events and we are now pawns in the game of life?

 

Ponder this thought: “we were intelligible energy prior to this incarnation”. Imagine that we understood the many different paths we could take on this earthly plain to activate lessons for our spiritual growth. Imagine choosing your current life’s path. Imagine reviewing potential experiences to fulfill our spiritual needs through our physical existence so that we would learn and grow through significant physical and mental experiences.

 

If this were the case, we have taken personal control of our destiny. If we planned the lessons in life then nothing is by chance. If this is the case, life is pre-destined and fated, but we chose these fates. There would never be mistakes. We are human, without doubt, and may sway us off the intended course at times but these alternative paths may only serve to slow us down on our journey, but ultimately, we still end up at the chosen end.

 

Past, present and future are earthly terms and in reality, they all exist simultaneously; therefore, an alternate route that brings us to the same place, matters little.

 

If we understand our part in the process, we also take responsibility for our lives. This removes all blame. Taking responsibility is imperative. We predestined our fate. This puts life in a completely different perspective.

 

We cannot sit back and not to participate in our lives. We must still do our part. Free will is determined by the course of action or attitude we take in the moment. Free will rests in our reaction to life’s events and our attitude toward these events and to those around us.

 

Life offers challenging conditions and even tragic events, but our response and our mental attitude is always a choice. Accept responsibility, even when life seems unfair. Know that life is moving exactly as it should…. always on path……always on course.

SUN IN CANCER JUNE 21, 2022

Today June 21, 2022, the Sun moved from the mutable, air sign of Gemini into the cardinal water sign of Cancer. If you were to read our last post of Gemini, you will note that there is quite a difference between Gemini and Cancer. Gemini is a changeable, studious, and communicative sign while Cancer is a highly sensitive, not overly changeable (although from an emotional level they can certainly shift quite easily). Gemini seeks to gather information from an intellectual perspective while Cancer seeks to gain information through an emotional perspective and from intuition.

 

Cancerians are deep and reflective. As mentioned they are very intuitive, feeling their way through life. They are gentle beings with a need for a quiet place where they can recharge their emotional batteries. They usually do not do well with adversity, and many enjoy cooking or are home bodies. They can be overly protective especially of their children, family in general and the close family of friends.

 

Due to their extreme sensitivity, they often hide their feelings which a Cancerian may feel is their weakness (hidden in their protective shell). Only those that show sensitivity and can be trusted will be allowed to penetrate the Cancer shell of protection. This is not to say that Cancerians are weak; far from it. They are defenders of the underdog and will fight relentlessly if need be, but also prefer not to get involved in aggressive situations.

 

If there are other indicators in the natal chart, like the Grand Water Trine or many planets in the water houses (4,8 and 12) these individuals can be sensitive enough to pick up vibrations from others and many are considered quite psychic or at the very least intuitive. Their perception is keen. They love to mother others and would do well in any field of caring for others, such as nurses, caregivers, or counselors. Cancerians make good counselors providing they do not allow themselves to take on the energies of those that they are working with.

 

As a side note, as with any sign, cancer traits can be softened by other strong influences in the chart. Eg someone with Sun in Cancer, Moon, Mars & Saturn in Capricorn, Mercury, Venus and Rising sign in Leo would express themselves with a lot of fortitude and would want others to know of their existence. It is always important to look at the full chart. Our Sun in Cancer is a general definition of Cancerian traits.

 

Happy solar return to our Cancer readers.

MERCURY RULER OF GEMINI (& VIRGO)

Before we move out of the sign of Gemini, we thought it appropriate to look at the ruling Planet of Gemini (Virgo as well), Mercury.

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and is never more than 28° away from the Sun. Due to their proximity, some people are born with these two bodies in conjunction. A conjunction is defined as two planets being within 8 to 10 ° from one another. There is also an aspect called the Cazimi (17 minutes separation or less between the planets) which is a powerful expression of the conjunction with Mercury and the Sun. When this occurs between Mercury and the Sun, the energies of both planets are greatly intensified.

Mercury is the planet of the mind and rules our intellectual abilities and enhances the thought process. Mercury although considered dormant unless activated will enhance and add its energies to whatever it touches in the horoscope. It affects the thinking process greatly. Mercury’s sign and the aspects to it from other planets and positions in the natal chart defines how the mind operates.

Mercury in the birth chart determines how we make sense of our lives and the world around us. It controls the way we communicate on a day-to-day basis. It is our mental statement to the world and our sense of humor. It also rules quickness of thought. There is a huge difference between someone with Mercury in Aries, which could be defined as quick responsive thinking, to someone with Mercury in Capricorn, which could be described as slow methodical thinking.

Some are born with Mercury in retrograde motion (Mercury appearing to be moving backwards in the sky) and when Mercury goes retrograde through transit and touches off the natal retrograde Mercury, or other planets in the birth chart, the mind may slow down and may even struggle depending on the relationship to other planetary forces within the horoscope. Retrograde is usually a time when these individuals should be careful and perhaps even put off signing important documents and making vital life decisions.

Mercury retrograde at birth is often characterized as an introverted mind where things are thought over carefully before making decisions.

Communication is the key phrase related to the planet Mercury.

The intellect is stimulated by the planet Mercury and those with Mercury prominent in their birth chart will have defined intellectual pursuits. Much will depend on which sign Mercury is in and how it is being aspected in the birth chart. Please note that a challenged Mercury in the birth chart can be rectified and bring assistance as we learn from life’s experiences on how to deal with our own personal thinking process.

All aspects in the natal chart can, through experience and effort, be used in a beneficial manner, even the most challenging of natal aspects.

ARE WE SO DIFFERENT?

Are you one of those individuals that know somehow you are different?

 

Is there something about you that others categorize as eccentric or unusual?

 

If you feel that you do not fit as what is perceived as “normal”, you will be happy to know that you are not alone. Before we go into defining what makes you different, perhaps we need to figure out what the definition of “normal” is.

 

Does a normal person believe in only those things that are tangible?

 

If most people cannot perceive something, does that make it nonexistent?

 

Does a normal person believe that truth lies only in regular day-to-day experiences?

 

Does a normal person believe that they have no hand in their unfolding story and that they are at the mercy of life or does a normal personal believe that they have full control over their unfolding story?

 

So many of us have moved beyond the “tangible only” teachings of our forefathers--the teachings that have limited our growth and understanding. Is this the new normal?

 

If many have experienced the same unexplainable events, how can they not be truth?

 

Most of us have experienced events that cannot be explained by logic as we know it. Visions, knowings, near death experiences, warnings and the list goes on. So, what is normal?

 

Are these abnormal or normal?

 

Why do they call it “supernatural”?

 

Whether normal or abnormal, our lives go on exactly as they should regardless of our personal perception and belief structures. So, what limitations do you put on yourself and your life?

 

The next time you try to decipher whether your experiences or your attitudes are normal, reminder yourself that it really does not matter. Do not worry about what others think. We are all unique. Take the steps along your road of life but know that there are many travellers that take their own steps alongside of you. Vast numbers of these fellow travellers share your concepts, your beliefs, your truths, normal or not!

TRANSITING PLUTO TRINE THE MOON

T Pluto stays in the later degrees of Capricorn until March 2023 but does not move permanently into Aquarius until 2024. Pluto moves from 26° forward over this period making a trine to those with their Moon in the late degrees of Taurus and Virgo.

 

Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus form the earth modality and often speaks in terms of reliability, structural formation, sensitivity tied to practicality and alignment with material achievement. Pluto the planet of transformation and regeneration in trine to the Moon in these placements often speaks of change or evolution regarding emotional involvement and sensitivity around material concerns.

 

This position often fosters a reliable, steadfast, and constructive element to our emotional experience which can be defined by the house placement of the natal Moon and the current transiting position of Pluto in the chart.

 

There may be some power struggles or alignment taking place where your sensitivities and compassionate nature is involved. You may put forth great effort aligning your present-day experience so that you feel more comfortable and emotionally stable. You may be seeking to change the way you relate to emotional interaction by delving below the surface of matters and setting new standards for how you experience the emotional side of life.

 

Pluto moves slowly. If you have this trine in your chart you may be going through these changes. Pluto insists that you take into consideration what needs to develop and what needs to be released for this new approach to unfold.

 

Sensitivity for those with these lunar positions may never have been an easy expression and perhaps now you might discover you are more inclined to communicate or express your emotional side. Change is in store and may take up to 2 years + to completely unfold and be totally understood.

WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY

Take advantage of the moments when the metaphorical window of opportunities opens. It is what we do with these opportunities that either curtail or expand our connectedness. There seems to be specific times when the gateway to spirituality is open and mystical unfolding is unleashed in leaps and bounds.

 

For some individuals these opportunities are periodic with long breaks in between. For others opportunities are long lasting and are presented often. For many, however, they get glimpses off and on throughout their lives. This can result in frustration and impatience.

 

It is important to seize the moments when they are presented. Sometimes we receive nudges that something significant is about to unfold. Other times, we have little to no warning when the window of opportunity swings wide.

 

When presented, the energies flow without restriction. An abundance of information becomes available, and insight can be quite profound. These are unique moments and magical.

 

Some of us get glimpses of the future, some revelations about the past and some experience the ever present now in a new and wonderful way. All experiences, however, can be profound. The revelations can have a significant effect for years if not life long. These experiences can not be forgotten as their impact is life changing.

 

Record these events to keep details clear for the information can be invaluable. These truly are moments of awakening.

 

We are not suggesting that valuable lessons are not at hand daily, for they are. However, we are gifted with monumental revelations that are life changing on occasion.

 

Pay attention to the subtle messages and quaint discussions that take place in life regularly as these are what create even further understanding after these transformative events.
