Yule – WINTER SOLSTICE

The Winter Solstice (Hibernal Solstice) took place on December 21, 2022 @ 4:47 p.m. in the northern hemisphere. As we know the sun will be at its lowest arc in the sky for our area and therefore the least daylight of the year. The good news is our day light will start to increase and our precious sunlight will return.

 

As nature sleeps and the light is low, we can use the long nights to reflect on our journey. Go inward and plan your intentions for when the energy and the light returns. Mother nature has always known best. Simply follow her example. Many species are hibernating or slowing down, resting and waiting for the return of light and warmth: the return of the energy that motivates us mentally, physically and spiritually.

 

Our current lesson is patience. Be willing to face the darkness and use this time to look deep into the shadows of self. Bring light to your darkest corners and fill them with love. Allow spirit to grow.

 

Is it coincidence that during Yule season (the rebirth of light), many celebrate the birth of Christ for example (known as the light of the world)? This is a time of celebration for many, whether it is Yule, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza, etc.

 

We have much to celebrate. Be filled with promise, with faith in all that is. Practice gratitude, share love and utilize your inner healing light!

 

Blessings to all!

IN THE SPIRIT OF FRIENDSHIP

 

We are all here sharing our destined path with fellow individuals. We are alone by our relative placement but share common goals. These goals consist of sharing this world, looking after its inhabitants, and nurturing those that need it. Care begins with our own needs. We need to be concerned about what we need to do for ourselves before we can be of service to those around us. We cannot feed the masses if we are sick and malnourished.

 

As title suggests, we need to offer some form of friendship to all inhabitants. Friends help friends who in turn will offer their assistance to others and the ripple continues if someone offers their services.

 

How can you be of assistance?

 

What can you do to help someone in a challenging situation?

 

What services are you capable of delivering?

SUN IN CAPRICORN DECEMBER 21, 2022

The Sun moves from the Mutable, fire sign of Sagittarius into the Cardinal earth sign of Capricorn on December 21, 2022. Mercury is in Capricorn (going retrograde on December 29) and moving into Aquarius on Feb 12/23. Venus is in Capricorn until Jan 4/23. Pluto is in Capricorn moving into Aquarius briefly from Mar 24-June 12/23, and then returning to Capricorn until Jan/24.

 

Mercury, Venus and in particular Pluto can have a profound effects on anyone especially those with their Natal Sun lining up with these transiting planets. Any planet in the natal chart in Capricorn can be impacted by these planets. Planets in other signs can also be impacted depending on the aspect between these areas and the transits in place.

 

Most individuals with their Sun in Capricorn are hard working and driven individuals especially pertaining to achievements. They can be quite ambitious and very serious in their approach to obligations and reaching their objectives. Many become leaders in their chosen field and although driven for success they are cautious in their approach. They do not like to rush into things and know that it takes time to achieve what they wish to move towards.

 

Their ruling planet is Saturn and Saturn has been known as the task maker of the Zodiac, challenging their objective and this can lead to feelings of despair or negativity if they consider themselves a failure with their goals. They are comfortable with hard work and discipline and respect their elders especially those that have gone before them and laid the path forward. They also know that hard work will eventually be rewarded even if it takes a long time to achieve what they set out to do.

 

Depending on where their Moon is placed by sign and house many of these individuals have a difficult time releasing emotion. Some consider Capricorns cold emotionally but this is not the case. Their emotions run deep although it may be difficult for them to find release or even to express how they feel.

 

There may be stumbling blocks in the way to success, and they truly believe in the tried, tested and true. In many cases nothing comes easily to these individuals but over time they can move up that mountain just as sure footed as the mountain goat which is their symbol. They will surely but slowly maneuver their way past challenges and eventually reaching the summit.

 

Happy solar return Capricorn!

VACATION TIME

As winter rears its intentions, many of us develop the desire to visit faraway places.

 

What many of us seek (although we may not look at vacations from this perspective) aside from escaping the cold is to bring the vacation “frame of mind” to life. We may be seeking the relaxation, adventure and one on one time with others. Are we seeking something new and away from the day-to-day experience?

 

Do we travel to experience the beauty of nature and other cultures that need to be explored?

 

In many cases we each live a special, fortunate life and when we visit other cultures, we are provided a clear perspective of this.

 

Take the time to create peace, to reflect within and meditation on how special life truly is whether it is in your own home or on a warm beach. Calming your inner environment and setting aside time for something personal should be on the agenda.

 

Celebrate each day. Share your life and love with those around you. Be the generator of faith and the motivator for those that feel stuck in life’s circumstances. You have the power and capabilities!

TRANSITING JUPITER TRINE MERCURY

Your natal Mercury by aspect, sign and house position in general defines how the mind operates. The thinking process, evaluation techniques, mental aptitude and outlook all come under the influence of the planet Mercury. Mercury comes alive when it is in aspect or being aspected by transits or progressions. It needs this to become stimulated and the planet and aspect it is receiving define how the mind is currently functioning, although its natal positioning is far reaching.

 

Jupiter the planet of expansion, growth, good fortune, and life’s philosophical teachings in trine stimulating N Mercury can provide intuitive perception and optimal mental reasoning abilities. During its trine to Mercury the mind is alive with ideas that seem optimistic and favourable.

 

The trine is suggestive of easy flow and opportunities and when Jupiter is part of that vibrational activity in a natal chart its good fortune can bring to life concepts that can not only grow and expand consciousness but can also bring forth prospects and outlooks that foster gain on some level. Trines are what we wait for and Jupiter is the most promising of all the planets affecting our lives. In many cases growth and expansion just seem to flow, but to use these energies in a much more favourable way we need to react and formulate a plan of action to achieve the greatest success in the current environment.

 

Review the natal potential, the house position not only of Mercury in the natal chart but also the placement of T Jupiter as this will help define the areas of life involved and where to move ahead. Favourable aspects to N Mercury by other natal positions will accentuate the opportunities while the more challenging aspects will suggest that you may have to work a little harder to advance.

NATAL URANUS TRINE MERCURY

Uranus takes 84 years to complete its transit around the Zodiac. It moves through a sign in approximately 7 years. Uranus is known as the awakener and is the ruling planet of the sign Aquarius. It is an outer planet (with Neptune and Pluto) and its effects can be quite life altering while it is in aspect to natal positions.

 

With natal positioning, Uranus often speaks of the need to be different, the need for revolution or change and often speaks of change and new directions through different ways of communicating when connected to Mercury, the planet of the mind. Uranus will awaken and stimulate uniqueness and offer different perspectives through dialogue and its ability to stimulate the mind in new directions.

 

The trine itself speaks of easy flow and the ability to move in new directions and change opinion in dynamic ways. The mind is stimulated and often ahead of its time when it comes to revelations and new concepts. The mind can be considered somewhat genius and distinctive and communication can be uplifting and original. Science and technology are often sideshoots of Uranus depending on its sign and house position.

 

People with this may be considered somewhat eccentric, and they think outside of the box. There is something in the conversation which stirs the imagination and can instigate change through experience. A new and different outlook is often experienced by people with this in their chart. We can always expect something out of the ordinary from these individuals.

 

The mind works quickly, often without hesitation and the results from open conversation can easily stir others into action. They speak of change in direction because what has been in place prior to this time is no longer suitable for continued growth and exploration. Dull or boring would never be what this aspect speaks to. The unusual and original thinking is what this is all about. Interesting conversation, open dialogue and a strong push for the new is clear with this formation. Listen and learn or speak and be the orchestrator of unique perception and future ideologies.

NEW MOON NOVEMBER 23, 2022

Today@ 5:57 p.m. EDT, we will enjoy a New Moon at 1° Sagittarius. Those with their Sun in the very early degrees of Sagittarius will not only be experiencing their Sun conjunction their natal position (Birthday) but will also be experiencing a New Moon at roughly the same time. A New Moon Solar chart would be very interesting for these people as it would mark a new beginning and define the year ahead.

 

A Sagittarius New Moon marks a time of new beginnings related to exploration and potential growth and expansion. This is due to the trine this New Moon makes with Transiting Jupiter. This can be a very fortunate time if the natal chart agrees, although even harsh aspects in the natal chart still offer insight and growth through hard work (Saturn) change and evolution (Uranus), transformation and an end to conditions that no longer suit us (Pluto) and spiritual enlightenment and evolution (Neptune). New beginnings are on the horizon dealing with adventure, knowledge, and growth through exploration and perhaps some much needed freedom. This would be a great time for travel.

 

Most of us will have some influence although not as powerful as those that have planets either conjunct or in opposition to this placement (0-4° Sag or Gemini) and/or. with squares, trines and sextiles to this placement of the new moon. Know that better things regardless of how things might look now are on the horizon and you are beginning a new cycle at this point.

 

Philosophy might be of interest at this time. Those interested in cultural religion and foreign cultures can experience a door opening into these fields. Although you might be content with life’s direction, now might be the time to move ahead with new ideas and find more that intrigues you. Life provides the key but you have to turn the lock to open the door.
