TRANSITING PLUTO SEXTILE NATAL SUN

The sextile (60° between two planets or angels) is considered a harmonious, beneficial aspect in Astrology. It creates a natural flow between the planets\angles involved and is deemed to be supportive. I read once that sextiles have to do with opportunities, but they do not open up without activation from the individual who is experiencing this positioning. They say it is similar to a cross between a trine and square. The trine brings easy flow and opportunities, and the square suggests some work to move things ahead.

 

The sextile from T Pluto to the Sun brings opportunities and new ideas. This can lead to transformations with your path, goals and life objective. This can create changes that are necessary so that you are more able to connect with your path. Sometimes the sextile can be subtle and although Pluto’s influence is not a mild one, it may go unnoticed for some time before realizing where life is taking you. It is best to follow Pluto’s energies as it insists on a change of direction.

 

There can be great changes taking hold on a personal level where collaboration can be essential to growth and understanding. You may find that you are more open to new concepts and new ways of thinking that can change your attitude and build on what is in place or open new doors so that something more appropriate is allowed entry. You can make new connections with people that may be very supportive of your ideologies and help to encourage you to make changes. Your principles may go through changes and a reconstructions is in the making.

 

Remember the potential for new growth and a new you are at hand but you will have to promote this to make things happen. Opportunities are available but it is up to you to take advantage of them.

 

Pluto can be forceful and may not present itself in a gentle manner, but when we go with the flow and understand that the road presented to us is the right route to take, it can be much easier to advance with fewer hurdles.

 

Don’t be too comfortable with the past.

FOCUS BROUGHT FORWARD

Many of us believe and understand that our thought pattern, belief structure and expectations slowly create our world. We recognize that our focus amplifies and what we focus on is all that we see.

 

Whether we acknowledge this or not, we are acting as a magnifying glass on whatever is in our focus. Is it not important then to acknowledge all that we have in life?

 

What is the good of knowing something and recognizing it as truth if we do not practice recognizing our focus. Our teachings have taken us this far and through practice we can reinforce what we know.

 

What an honor to know and understand the intimate workings of the universe. We can spread this understanding to those willing to listen.

 

It is our duty to ourselves to move beyond knowing something and practice using the tools at hand.

 

It takes time to believe in our own manifesting. We can practice in our day-to-day routine. It is up to us to recognize what we focus on and how long we choose to remain focused on any one given thing. Life provides many avenues of expression and we learn from these. It is best not to categorize anything as good or bad, as EVERYTHING contains a valuable lesson if we choose to utilize it. Look at each event in life as a life experience.

 

As life unfolds things do not always turn out the way we thought they would. Accept the path laid out before you as you walk it.  When there is a fork in the road, use your forethought and review which path you wish to take. No matter how the path may reveal itself it will be part of the process of gaining experience and knowledge which over time enlightens us and pushes us ahead. The destination will be the same on either route. It is a journey that may differ.

 

Focus helps you see more, and your focus will eventually bring you an abundance of whatever you focus on.

 

What will you focus on?

2023 TRANSITS FOR SUN IN CANCER

This is a continuation of our post Sun in Cancer on June 19, 2023, Sun in Cancer Post  

 

This post will also apply to those with Cancer on their Ascendant. The Ascendant is often clearly defined as outside circumstances that others see.

 

On June 27 Mercury moves into the sign of Cancer and as it makes its way through this sign (moves into Leo July 11) it will conjunct each Sun in Cancer or Rising sign (Ascendant) in Cancer. Mercury is the planet of the mind and rules communication and the thinking process. Check where your Natal Mercury is in the birth chart and the aspects that it receives from other planets and points in the chart to determine your style of communication.

 

The home and family may become more important at this time and your mind may be influenced by what is occurring in and around the home environment and with family. Your children, parents and close friends will be of prime importance now. Your emotional response may tie in with the events surrounding these individuals.

 

Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces creating a trine for those with their Sun or Rising sign in the degrees where these two planets will be traveling through. Trines offer opportunities and often create easy flow. Trines are what we wait for and can work well for us. Neptune may indicate an easy flow with your creative endeavors or psychic inclinations. Saturn may indicate more responsibilities although this is a time when responsibility is a requirement. A further study into the placement of these transits in the natal chart and their relationship with other planets is required to get a clear picture of the energies and areas of life being affected.

 

Those with their Sun or Ascendant in the early degrees (1 to 10° roughly), will be influenced by Saturn as it moves through its retrograde cycle, turning direct on November 4, 2023. It will go back as far as 0° Pisces. Those with their Sun or Rising sign in the later degrees of Cancer (23°+) will be affected by Neptune as it moves through retrograde and into direct motion into 2025. This can be an interesting time and the energies are favourable for exploration into the psychic realms or schooling/teaching perhaps through studies or reading.

 

For a full understanding, a review of the natal chart with all the transits is a requirement. Suffice to say those with Cancer strong in their charts can be heavily influenced by the energies in place over the upcoming time.

LIBERATION ACROSS THE NATION

Those of us with freedom of speech, communicate freely about our concerns and much more. We can express ourselves although our opinions are open to criticism by others. We are capable of influencing others. It is my opinion because of this freedom not to spread or create fear, anxiety, anger and/or violence.

 

Why create turmoil?

 

Unfortunately, there are individuals who thrive on negatively impacting those around them. Why? Possibly to feel powerful and influential. Some thrive on pessimism and creating limitations. But there are also those who pursue peace and wish for nothing less than love and compassion.

 

Know that your impact affects others. Let’s make that impact encouraging whenever possible. Is it not far more fulfilling and impactful to help others find peace and tranquility?

 

We can influence the wave of influence. Let’s make it a positive one. Your intensions spread as others react and then share the message further into the consciousness of others. You are the messenger with a much larger influence than you realize.

 

Yes, you have the freedom at least on some level to express yourself. Knowing that your thoughts and expectations manifest, should you not be careful with what you are putting out into our world?

 

There are many of us that consciously understand that focus creates reality. Those fortunate enough to recognize this can create a positive influence. We are the forerunners of this movement. Are we not obligated to do what we can to assist this world and its occupants?

 

What is your part in the process and how does your attitude affect you (and those around you)?

SUMMER SOLSTICE

Today, June 21, 2023 @ 10:57 EDT, we celebrate the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere. This powerful solar energy can recharge our spirits, minds and bodies.

 

All things are energy and this energy is interconnected. Some are quite aware of these influential external energies. With or without this awareness however all living things are affected by the position of the planets at their birth, by the continual movement of the planets through life, by the influence of the rotation of our earth including the changing seasons and any other shifts that occur in nature.

 

When guided by spirit/our higher self (call it what you will), we live our truth, during the easy flow and the life lessons.

 

Take advantage of the strong solar energies of the Summer Solstice to push forward. Use the more aggressive energies of the Sun to catapult forward and allow yourself to bloom into your own true beauty. Rise above the chatter of your thinking mind and allow life’s energies. See the world around you for what it is without judgement.

 

As with the Sun currently at its fullest potential (from our earthly position,) you too can allow all your inner power and beauty to radiate out. Express your true self as there is nothing more perfect or authentic.  By allowing your true authentic self to bloom, each and every other living thing that your energy touches will benefit.

 

What a glorious time of year.

 

Allow yourself to mirror the seasons. We have just experienced the season of wonderful renewal. We hopefully have worked hard to create buds of promise. Now is the time to allow those buds to bear the fruit of our efforts. This beauty and abundance will be seen and experienced by all who share this garden of life with us.

 

Happy Summer Solstice!

WHO ARE YOU REALLY?

Beyond your human vehicle, how would you describe who you are?

 

Do not define yourself by your accomplishments or what you deem as failures. These are outside of you, so you are neither of these. You are not your character traits, even though this makes up you as an individual. These are learned things, so they are not you.

 

It is hard to describe who we are (inside, your true essence) isn’t it?

 

Many of us believe that we are qualities, accomplishments and/or shortcomings but deep down inside we are not these events or learned things. We are much more than these, something more profound. The answer is found within the deepest recesses of our being.

 

Furthermore, upon reflection what is it that we can call our own?

 

Many portraits of our personality are painted by each individual that we encounter. We are someone different to everyone we encounter. We are the only one that described ourselves as we do. We are the only one that knows us as we do from every perspective. But, do we see ourselves clearly?

 

“I am” describes us well although it has little substance even though it says it all!

 

We want a clear definition of our innate self, our true identity and the core of our being. Would this be spirit?

 

Does this resonate with what we perceive ourselves to be?

 

Are we part of the whole?

 

Are we a whole?

 

Are we complete?

 

I guess we will find these answers when we begin to question our identity and our journey and the why behind being here.

 

For certain, you are more than what shows on the surface and what we identity with which varies from day to day and our experience. We are ever evolving and perhaps the final stage comes on our last day or beyond. Seriously, who really knows!

 

The door is always open to self-discovery, and it can be found through honest self-reflection and a continued want to understand.

 

I leave you with this question, “If you were to define yourself what would you say?”

SUN IN CANCER JUNE 22, 2023

On June 22, 2023 the Sun moves from the Mutable, Air sign Gemini into the Cardinal, Water sign Cancer.

 

Those with their Sun in Cancer will be experiencing a Solar Return on the exact day that the Sun is in the position that it was in when they were born. This will apply to all people who have their Sun in Cancer, but the date will vary for everyone.

 

Those with their Moon in Cancer, their Ascendant in the sign of Cancer or those with an emphasis on the fourth house will also have some of the same character traits that will be mentioned in this post.

 

The Sun sign is who we are inside, the Ascendant is the way we present ourselves to the public, (what people see), the fourth house carries with it the general theme of Cancer although it will be influenced greatly by the energies of the planets found within its boarders.

 

Those with this positioning are emotionally inclined and have a difficult time not releasing their emotions, although they can hide them when they put up their shell of protection. Some Cancerians consider this their weakness, while others who know themselves well know that their emotional interaction is actually a strong character trait that they have in abundance.

 

These individuals are nurturing, caring, sensitive and often intuitive and interpret life through their feels rather than mentally. They evaluate their life circumstances by how they feel under certain situations. They often rely on their sensitivity and can usually rely on this intuitive feedback. Their feeling nature is highly developed.

 

Family and close friends, which they could call the family of friends, are important to them.  They will nurture and take care of these people and offer their emotional support whenever needed.  They will protect the family and stand up for those in need. However, Cancerians should learn to not get overly involved in the situations surrounding them as they feel what others feel (maybe not as deeply as their counterpart Pisces but deeply).

 

The home environment must be a place of retreat and they will surround themselves with comfort and peaceful conditions. They need a place where they can recharge their emotional batteries and the home environment must provide this. Their home is their sanctuary and their safe haven. A warm home with perhaps a fireplace and close to nature with water access is important for their well-being and they will strive to have this and offer this to those they love.

 

Most Cancerians are caring and compassionate individuals and would do well working with others in a nurturing environment such as a hospital or nursing home. Their sensitivity is a great asset if they do not take on the concerns of those around them and make them personal.
