LIFE IS COMPLICATED

Life is a complex series of events and experiences. We move through life and learn from each event. In many cases we must sift through our mind to understand some of these events. The people involved can take us to places we don’t want to go or in contrast show us places we never imagined possible. Life is complicated at times especially when there are hard lessons to learn. We are here to experience, however, and life is the teacher.

 

Regardless of how life unfolds, it is imperative to wrap our arms around it and know that no matter what comes our way we will grow from these experiences. If it was easy all the time, we would stagnate.

 

Some believe that are being here is a choice. Some believe that we picked this life and our life’s circumstances. This can be hard to grasp especially when we go through trauma and stressful experiences.

 

When we recognize that we must take responsibility for, at the bare minimum, our response to life, life can change. This does not mean that when someone harms us we take responsibility for their actions. What it does mean is that on some level it will assist us to grow and hopefully at some point let go and move on.

 

Life can be hard, but it can also be magnificent. Life is full of wonder and a life well lived encompasses both trying and pleasurable experiences.

SUN IN GEMINI TRANSITS

The Sun moved into Gemini (Mutable, Air, sign) on May 21, 2023.

 

For information on Sun in Gemini, please read our post from Monday, May 23 at https://holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/50432312-sun-in-gemini?siteId=126690493&locale=en-US

 

Pluto is currently in Aquarius an Air sign although only for a short period of time when it moves back into Capricorn mid-June. Pluto will be making a trine to anyone with an early Sun sign in Gemini of perhaps up to 3°. Pluto is about transformation and change and can be subtle at first but over time (may take up to two years before the change is complete) Pluto will insist on something being let go so that the new can take its place. There are no halfway measures about Pluto and whatever it touches goes through dynamic change and a rebirth on some level. Much will depend on the houses involved in the chart as these determine the areas of life involved.

 

T Neptune is still in Pisces and will remain in this sign until 2025. Those with their Sun in the later degrees of Gemini will be experiencing the square between the Sun and T Neptune. The square suggests challenges and may blur reality. If this is a relationship, are you seeing it clearly?

 

Do you have rose colored glasses on when looking at this person?

 

Placing people on a pedestal is often what Neptune square the Sun can indicate.

 

Is there a potential that your goals are unattainable?

 

Ask for advice and/or input from someone that you trust to be honest.

 

The beauty of a Square is that it is challenging enough to force you into action and you will do your best to alleviate the situation to make things work in a more realistic manner.

 

Saturn is also in Pisces and is making a square to anyone with their sun in the single digit degrees. Currently, Saturn is at 6° Pisces and will go into its retrograde motion June 17 travelling back to 0° Pisces before it begins its forward motion again on November 4, 2023. Saturn remains in Pisces for about 2 ½ years so it will make a square to all Sun in Gemini at some point over this period.

 

Saturn is also a challenging planetary influence and often suggests that there will be hurdles to overcome, delays in reaching your objectives, potential shortfalls and often concerns about reaching your objectives. Saturn wants you to work diligently towards your goals, not to make them too lofty and to have a steady approach. Over time you may reach these goals or at least solidify your objectives and create stability.

 

Happy solar return Gemini.

SUN IN GEMINI

The Sun moved from Taurus (Fixed, Earth sign) into Gemini (Mutable, Air, sign) on May 21, 2023. Gemini as mentioned is a Mutable, Air sign suggesting that this is a thinking, conversationalist energy. Geminians enjoys learning and are quite adapt with these qualities. Gemini is adaptable, changeable and enjoys anything that involves education. Whether this be reading, schooling, or teaching, Geminians are open to interaction in these areas.

 

Gemini can adjust and bend with life’s circumstances and enjoys getting others to converse as they have something to say on just about anything. Their knowledge is expandable, and they like to know a little about most anything. This makes them versatile but also quite changeable.

 

Most Gemini will tire of situations or in some cases people and will move from person to person and situation to situation without reservation. Of course, the whole chart needs to be examined. E.g. someone with their Sun in Gemini and Taurus as their rising sign and perhaps several planets in earth signs, especially Capricorn and Taurus, will be different from someone with strong Gemini characteristics within the natal chart.

 

Because of their ability and need for stimulation and change, Geminis will know a little about many things but are not experts. They should settle in and home in on one or two subjects to become proficient in these areas.

 

Gemini individuals need constant stimulation, variety and excitement in life. By associating with people who will assist Gemini with sticking to something specific could be beneficiary. However, no one can force a Gemini to do something they are not interested in doing.

 

Gemini individuals are friendly, clever and witty people. They truly like most individuals and most people like them.

 

Happy solar return to our Gemini readers.

 

Watch for our post on May 24 covering some transits for Sun in Gemini individuals.

REACT OR RESPOND

What is your response when someone speaks aggressively towards you?

 

Do you react or respond?

 

We all respond differently to aggression, both physically and emotionally.

 

Standing up and fighting for your rights is important but this should not come from a reactive state but a thought-out proactive state. Under no circumstance is a physical reaction acceptable.

 

We cannot do anything about someone else’s intension or action, but we can control our response. In any situation ask yourself if a stance is worth pursuing. Someone else’s actions should not be allowed to freely live in your mind or affect your emotions. The choice is yours. Remember, vengeance and violence are not a solution. Walking away is a sign of strength in many cases.

 

What happened in the past should stay in the past. What you do in the moment is a choice – react or respond.

 

Live in the moment.

 

Reaction can rise quickly but with practice and thoughtfulness, it can be controlled.

TRANSITING SATURN CONJUNCT NATAL DC

A conjunction with the natal DC will always include an opposition to the Ascendant. Conjunctions have to do with intensity and the merging of energies, while oppositions have to do with the influence of others and how it may affect us.

 

As transiting Saturn moves across your DC (conjuncts the DC) Saturn often suggests challenging conditions linked to a relationship of significance, often the marriage partner, a business associate or someone you may be in business with.

 

Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, often has to do with business or can be linked to achievement tied to your occupation, but while in conjunction with your DC there is often a strain on the partnership. This can feel like a testing period or a time when you may feel depressed because of the strain on the relationship. It can cause worry about what the future looks like because of the issues you are now experiencing.  It often requires effort to overcome the adversity that Saturn often suggests. Much will depend on other influences affecting life.

 

Saturn in Aquarius may have something to do with personal freedom and the desire to walk your own road. While Saturn in Pisces may have something to do with seeing the relationship in its true colors and knowing that something must be done. The 7th house often describes your partner or the type of individual that you might be attracted to.

 

Because of the conjunction to your DC, Saturn is also in opposition to your ASC suggesting that this can be very personal or affect you in personal ways. Others may know what is going on and in some cases the opposition suggests that it is other people causing the challenge. You may have to make personal changes or adapt to the situation but most likely it will not be easy.

 

If Saturn is well aspected this could speak of a relationship moving into a more solid, structured, and reliable situation. Perhaps the relationship moves to another level, which provides you with a solid foundation. Perhaps you have been single for a long time (Saturn in the 7th often suggests this or it can suggest a relationship with a mature or older individual) and now the relationship looks like it is ready to take the next step.

 

For further insight and clarification examine the MC as it can signify a marriage or relationship becoming more enhanced and meaningful.

CONSISTENCY

Consistency is required when achieve something of significance in life. We must give our full effort and remain constant to move anything of substance forward. The beginning is always the hardest, as our primary actions creates what lies ahead and how our goal will develop.

 

Maintaining our push ahead or drive to achieve will often have obstacles which at times can hold us back. Sometimes the force against us seems momentous. We can feel that our efforts are fruitless. These are the times when we need to be resilient and consistent regardless of what stands in the way. Match resistance with determination.

 

We gain strength, endurance and patience during these times of apparent setbacks. We become stronger and realize that we have what it takes to move ahead. Ask yourself if this drive and push to achieve has merit. Do what is just and what is required (for you and for others).

 

Consistency builds momentum and advances us. Without consistency and a willingness to push through challenges, we may not succeed. Sometimes we need to push ourselves beyond our comfort zone.

 

On a side note, “How will our actions affect others?” is an important question. Is our approach based on revenge or are we doing what we feel needs to be done because it is just? Justice at times is not what it appears, and self-righteousness should not get in the way of what should be done.  Do nothing through hate.

TRANSITING JUPITER TRINE NATAL SATURN

The trine aspect usually indicates easy flow, opportunities, good fortune, and promising conditions. This is what we wait for in life. When Jupiter is part of the profile, the chances for gaining momentum and favourable conditions are heightened. Growth is a big part of what transpires.

 

Transiting Jupiter moves into Taurus on May 16. Jupiter goes into a retrograde cycle on September 4, 2023 at 15° Taurus and remains retrograde until December 31, 2023. It returns direct at 5°Taurus, so those individuals with their natal Saturn in the earth signs (Capricorn and Virgo) and up to and including about 17° will be experiencing this trine to their natal Saturn. If your natal Saturn is in these degrees, T Jupiter will move across the 5° to 15° once again into the new year making the same trine again.

 

Saturn, however, does not have the same energies as Jupiter and, in many ways, its energies operate in complete opposite. Saturn has to do with restriction, delays, challenges, and hard work. Although Jupiter promotes growth and expansion and the trine offers easy flow and opportunities, you will likely have to work hard to achieve whatever you plan to set out to do. However, Saturn does promote is stability and structure after the initial groundwork has been done.

 

If your natal Saturn is in retrograde then these opportunities and growth potentials are easier to maneuver through. A retrograde Saturn can also indicate a missing father influence in some cases. If Saturn applies to this or an individual with a position of authority (manager within your career or the police working within the framework of what this aspect is implying) moving forward with restraint is advised. In other words, do not move forward unprepared or without the necessary information.

 

Saturn holds back while Jupiter wants to progress so there might be some push and pull when these two energies meet. It should be noted that if you prepare and do not miss any steps working towards a viable solution, the potential is there. You can make this happen if you are prepared to wait a little to see what takes hold and you are building a solid foundation in the process.

 

Discipline and hard work are part of the process and the houses where N Saturn and T Jupiter are in will provide information as to what areas of life are involved. The natal positioning of Saturn adds to the story. If for example Saturn is well positioned then the energies work in a more smooth manner. If Saturn is challenged, more work and perhaps more duties are implied. More challenges are at hand with a difficult Saturn in the natal chart. The natal chart always tells the story.
