TRANSITING PLUTO OPPOSITION NATAL MARS

Currently (July/23) Pluto is in the last stages of Capricorn. Those with Natal Mars in either the later degrees of Cancer or the early Leo will be experiencing this opposition from T Pluto to their N Mars. The houses involved will have a huge impact on how these energies are released and areas of life involved. Look at N Pluto for more information on what these current energies might hold in store for you.

 

Pluto wants to end stagnant conditions or conditions in life that no longer suit your current needs. Pluto speaks of regeneration and transformation. There are no half measures with Pluto. Something must change so that something new can begin. Pluto often indicates struggles, ego disputes and when connected to Mars often aggressive interaction.

 

Mars in the natal chart shows an area where you can put a lot of energy and have the desire to initiate activities and action. Unless Mars is poorly aspected by perhaps Saturn (as it tends to dissolve energy and holds things back), Mars will almost always push you ahead and provide the drive you need to achieve.

 

Saturn creates opportunities through hard work and dedication but not without some real work. If you have Saturn in challenging aspect to Mars in your natal chart, you can expect some stops and starts, some push and pull when it comes to the areas of life where this energy is directed or withheld.

 

Oppositions are often difficult, and, in many cases, other people are involved in the situation. This can create hardships where arguments and disagreements are a big part of what unfolds. Disputes are common as Pluto and Mars do not work well together. Both energies can be very forceful and, in some cases, even aggressive, causing not only arguments but in some cases actual aggression and physical interaction. Watch for putting yourself in harm’s way. Do not operate vehicles while angry as the potential for accidents is in place.

 

E.g. T Pluto moving through the first house, (which often indicates a change of direction when it passes over the Ascendant) making an opposition to N Mars in the 7^th house (sometimes indicating the potential for disruption in relationships of significance) suggesting that there may be some challenge within a relationship of significance such as your partner. Let’s say that N Pluto is in the 12^th house. Things have been hidden or behind your back. You may not have known what was taking place and now things surface. There is great potential for major issues within the relationship often initiated by the other person.

 

On the positive side (as all aspects have that potential) after you find out what has been unfolding and deal with it, perhaps the relationship comes to an end and over some time someone new with a much more agreeable temperament comes into your life. Pluto will challenge life and make significant changes, and, in many cases, it is not a good idea to go against what Pluto is making you face, even if it is unpleasant. This is a challenging aspect but can produce favourable outcomes over time.

LIFE IS THE TASK MAKER

Life does not move along smoothly without lessons. We live day to day embarking on our journey pushing forward with our own specific intent. We pursue our goals, build on our achievements, advance our causes and formulate an action plan for the future. In many cases we really do not know what lies ahead, but we do have to make goals. Our aspirations sometimes exceed our expectations and sometimes they fall short.

 

There are many lessons along the way, and we move through them at our own pace. Some work through challenges without resistance, while others have great difficulty moving through adversity. Life is not easy but it is not all problematic either. Attitude of course plays a significant role in how life feels and regardless of achievement or failure our attitude magnified whatever we focus on.

 

Important lessons are often taught in times of strife, and anxiety can build as we maneuver our way forward. Anxiety and stress can have profound influences on our health and wellbeing, and we must find ways to alleviate the worry caused by our expectations and anticipation.

 

Recognition that our focus on life is beyond significant is an important lesson and is a great tool to move beyond a hard lesson or to not make a lesson larger than it has to be.

 

When we move into the times between lessons (our reflection or rest period) it is important to recognize just how fortunate these times are. Be thankful. Appreciation is important.

 

There are many who do not live the lives we live in the Western World and their struggles are beyond anything we might ever experience. Recognize that we are fortunate.

 

Take advantage of the lessons that come your way. They are not punishment; they are growth opportunities. Take responsibility for whatever lessons you are to learn as on some level you will grow from them. In many cases, change, which is often a byproduct of challenge, places us right on path and moves us where we need to go, even though we may not see it at that time. Accept adversity and learn and then let it go. Nothing is permanent. The experience of anxiety or worry is human but it is a choice.

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?
