TRANSITING SATURN SQUARE NATAL MARS

The square aspect (90° of separation) has been known to create conflicts, tension, and strain. They are not considered an easy aspect and there is often a lot of push and pull with some degree of power struggle. It is best to deal with the issues at hand and cooperate, finding a compromise and resolution to the problem at hand.

 

In the birth (natal) chart, a square indicates that there is a conflict with two planets and we have to deal with the problem. A struggle with life’s balance is at hand and inner reflection often produces a resolution.

 

There will be a real push and pull when it comes to these two planets we are focusing on in this post. Saturn is quite comfortable with “the known” and seeks structure and reliability. Mars on the other hand wants change and pushes for action and resolution when there is a conflict. Starts and stops can be expected and concerns with direction and making the wrong choices are part of the energy. Saturn says I like things as they are and Mars says I want change and action.

 

Sometimes Saturn speaks about objectives that you have worked hard to obtain. This can be related to our profession, relationships and objectivity. Mars looks for action and although the energies of Mars seem to be blocked and even under attacked during this time it is due to the concern that change might not be a good thing. It is a time to give a little and make compromises. Perhaps you can hold on to some things but in reality you should be letting go. This will take energy and you may not feel like you have staying power right now.

 

Squares between planets are stressful and create tension and crisis on some level. However, the energies are frustrating enough that they force us into action to create a compromise or a viable solution to the problem. Moving ahead is likely what is being called for but holding on to what has proven to have value should also be part of the process. You are trying to find balance through concise action. This compromise may not be at all pleasing to you at first but over time you will find that this was necessary and the best route to take to avoid confrontation or misalignment.

GOING WITH THE FLOW

Do you ever feel like life is taking you for a ride, one that moves you in directions that you had not planned for which do not feel all that comfortable?

 

Some of us fight the process while others will accept what is taking hold and go with the flow. Unless you foreseeable disaster ahead, it may be best to go with the flow rather than paddling upstream against the current.

 

It is not easy to let go and for those that feel they need control and a hand in the way life unfolds it may be difficult to understand or accept that some things are out of our control. There may be inner power struggles with self, challenges that must be met, yet some things just need to be accepted.

 

Does your current path hurt others or hurt you personally?

 

There may be a lot to take into consideration when pushing for change.

 

Sometimes life changes direction at what seems to be the most inappropriate times and we just need to accept and move on. Yet sometimes we need to take a stand and stand up for what we believe in.

 

Life moves in different directions throughout our journey. We truly do not know where it will take us next. It is not always an easy path but we need to pick our battles. Is it worth fighting for and how is it affecting us personally and others?

 

How is our frame of mind concerning the situation?

 

Do we have to make some compromise, or do we need to reflect and think things over?

 

What is the best resolution for all concerned and what can we do to make the transition easier?

 

Do we go with the flow or paddle against the current?

 

The answers to these questions will vary depending on each situation.

FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN JULY 3, 2023

On July 3, 2023, we will experience a Capricorn Full Moon @ 11° making a favourable trine to Transiting Jupiter @ 9° Taurus. This lunar position will also be in opposition to T Mercury @ 13° Gemini. Confirm that this positioning of this Full Moon is affecting any planets or angles in your Natal chart. Conjunctions and Oppositions will have the greatest impact but they must be within 3° to influence your life.

 

The Full Moon is a harvest time of what we have been nurturing over the past 6 months since we experienced the New Moon in Capricorn. The energy we put into our goals will be reflected in the quality of our harvest.

 

The Full Moon in Capricorn can be very ambitious although somewhat cautious as change is not often well received if this is part of the picture moving forward. However, there is a high degree of determination to succeed, and you know that it will likely take time before you reach your objectives. What was begun on the New Moon phase is now ready to move forward on some level and this will either give you the security that you are looking for and provide some gain or you will have to let things go because you did not pursue your ambitions with dedication.

 

The Moon has to do with security and feelings while Capricorn has to do with ambitions and achievements. How can you now expand on this?

 

Does this have something to do with your ambitions, perhaps linked to your career?

 

Will you gain recognition for your accomplishments?

 

The trine to Jupiter might provide you with the good luck needed to accomplish what you set out to do and perhaps expand your horizons. While Mercury in opposition may cause you to wonder if you made the right decisions at the right time, or did you push a little too early.

 

Are others standing in your way or trying to take what you deserve?

 

What fits your particular situation?

Jupiter promotes growth and perhaps it will take a little time before your goals mature to what you might like them to be. You should be optimistic about your endeavors. All the best as things come to fruition. Take advantage of the energies of Jupiter and promote yourself without being egotistical.

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)?
