TRANSITING NEPTUNE SQUARE NATAL JUPITER

If you have your Natal Jupiter squared by T Neptune you can expect the spiritual energies, the collective imagination and the highly tuned psychic potential to be highlighted.

 

The square challenges Neptune’s inspirational, intuitive, extra-sensory perceptions to be clear and concise. Jupiter on the other hand even though challenged by the square still reflects growth and expansion although the understanding of what is taking place might be a little vague.

 

As of August 2023, those with their Jupiter in the last degrees of Gemini or early Cancer or those with their Jupiter in the last degrees of Sagittarius or in early degrees of Capricorn will be experiencing this square.

 

Jupiter expands and creates opportunities for growth and good luck. The house placement is often where this general feeling of good luck is found. The house placement of Jupiter will be important when determining what Neptune square Jupiter will identify. You will also have to look at the placement of T Neptune and its natal position.

 

Neptune in challenge can produce vagueness or uncertainty and a general feeling that things are unclear. If N Jupiter is also poorly aspected this can magnify the situation as Jupiter can make things larger than life. Seeing things as they truly are will be very important.

 

Jupiter can speak about legal documentation and matters, and court proceedings as well as religion, spirituality and life’s philosophies gained through experience. Jupiter seeks the positive in situations and teaches us life lessons. There is little restrictions or limits where Jupiter is concerned. It promotes consciousness expansion.

 

Sometimes publication may hit a few snags, or your artistic talents seem to be on hold during this transfer of energy. Watch for wanting to escape difficulties that might arise. Neptune has to do with drugs and alcohol and the desire to find an escape when the going gets tough.

 

Watch for putting people or life situations on a pedestal during this Jupiter/Neptune encounter. Neptune can play with reality, and you may be viewing life through rose-colored glasses.

 

This aspect can last some time so ask for guidance if required. View clearly what is taking hold in life. The advice from others, especially trusted individuals, might be exactly what you need.

TRANSITS AFFECTING SUN IN VIRGO

We looked at the Sun in Virgo on August 21, 2023 and are continuing today with the transits affecting Sun in Virgo. 

 

Currently both Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces which suggests that they are in opposition to those with their Sun in Virgo or other significators in this sign. Saturn in the early stages and Neptune in the late stages, are at opposite ends of Pisces. Check the natal chart to see if any of the planets are currently at corresponding degrees.

 

Saturn in opposition to the Sun suggests that this can be a trying time when it comes to your personal life and the goals that you might be setting for yourself. Things may be delayed or not working according to plan. There may be concerns if you can make plans work at all. You may have opposition from others regarding personal pursuits and it is quite possible that your career may be involved in the equation. You may find that there are stumbling blocks and hurdles to overcome as you move forward. It may be best to wait until the energies have subsided before putting forth efforts.

 

Neptune on the other hand has to do with spirituality, creativity and seeing things clearly. When in opposition to the Sun you may find that there needs to be reality checks along the way with respect to personal insight and intuition. Sometimes you may be off a little in your estimation but others may be able to set you straight. At other times you may find that others are interfering with plans and saying that you are not doing things correctly when in fact you are.

 

In opposition, Neptune can make you feel disillusioned about goals and aspirations, and you may want to escape any hardships that seem to be blocking your creative endeavors. If you are in the arts field, such as acting or music, you may find that others seem to have better ideas about how to move forward or at least this is what they say. You will have to draw your own conclusions but do not let ego stand in the way if someone has an idea that might bring about a better outcome for you.

 

Happy Solar return Virgo. Work with the energies available.

AWARENESS AND ITS EBBS AND FLOWS

One of the most challenging situations for those reaching for clarity and definition in their spiritual pursuit is the swaying from insight or connectedness from time to time. Some days it feels as though you are right on target getting information and contact with outside sources and other times, you experience situations where everything seems to be at a standstill with no growth and an apparent disruption to the normal flow of insight and intuitive perception.

 

Insight ebbs and flows, and, in many cases, there is not much you can do to create or stimulate an increase with the energy flow. It can be frustrating but if you look at the situation, often you will find that your commitment to your personal practices such as meditation and personal “inside” work has slowed or maybe even halted You become busy with life and forget or do not make time to focus on your practices and that door seems to close. Action and dedication is required to advance the way you wish to advance.

 

You just need to get back into your practices again even when there isn’t enough time. Life is busy but in reality, you do not need a lot of time each day to spend in such as quiet meditation. Even 10 minutes will suffice in the beginning to get things moving in the right direction. It is up to you to motivate yourself into action and to stick with your practices moving forward.

 

Is it worth the effort?

 

Time will certainly tell. Your belief system will either enhance the situation and bring you back to clearer insight or hold you back. It will be up to you to recognize your intent and then to follow through with the right frame of mind. It can be done.

 

When will you begin again?

SUN IN VIRGO AUGUST 23, 2023

On August 23, 2023, the Sun moves from Leo, a fixed, fire sign, to Virgo, a mutable, earth sign.

 

Virgo is known for its attention to detail and its wish to find perfection in all it does and in all that surrounds it. Those with strong Virgo tendencies such as their Sun in Virgo, Moon in Virgo or Ascendant sign in Virgo tend to be curious, conservative, and often quite critical especially of themselves. They see all the little flaws in life, and many tend to worry and be too concerned about trivial matters. This is not to say that their concern is not warranted at times, but they can make mountains out of mole hills.

 

Virgoans can tackle tedious tasks and make excellent organizers. They need things to be in their proper place and when life is not structured to their liking, they will work tirelessly to improve conditions. Virgoans are very service oriented and truly wish to help in any manner they deem appropriate. They can be meticulous in their work ethics and truly want to do the best job possible, which makes them great assistants, but also great leaders. They can take and give orders.

 

Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury and Virgoans are considered deep thinkers, analyzing everything in great detail. Cleanliness and hygiene are important factors in their lives and if these have fallen to the wayside, you know something is wrong. Ideally, there isn’t a hair out of place, their clothes are clean, matching and perfect and their home is well organized and very clean.

 

We will look at the transits influencing Virgoans in our post on August 23, 2023.

IGNORANCE RELEASED

In our somewhat fragmented life, we skirt from sleeping to awakening to adhering to acknowledging to ignoring, to growing and so forth. We experience these and more in varying degrees throughout our lives. We jump pathways from time to time and can remain ignorant of what occurs around us while we are engulfed in our personal life’s circumstances. We lose sight that we are stumbling and remain captive by what is reflected in our focal point.

 

We live our lives imprisoned by our focus. In many cases we are not even aware that our focus keeps us stagnate or pushes us deeper into the issues that hold us captive and they become all encompassing.

 

Until we recognize that we are caught up in a web spun by our long term focus we are not free to live in the moment.

 

By stopping and recognizing this very moment, we can alter the course of our daily life. We cannot escape what must be done day to day or run from our responsibilities, but we can allow ourselves to climb out of “the rut”. We do not have to be imprisoned by our negative outlook. We can shift with a mere attitude change. Refocusing sets things in motion and removes us from unwanted feelings, but this can take time and repeated reminders to refocus.

 

Take time to reevaluate life and its circumstances. Know that all things are temporary. The more we focus on negativity, the more negativity we see. We can move in different mental states and/or attitudes simply by recognizing our lessons, building on them, releasing them and refocusing. We are not our life circumstances. We cannot get caught up in events. They are simply lessons to learn from and then move on. We can rearrange our thoughts and belief systems so that expectations are not interfering with our emotional health. Believe that you can learn and move beyond or adjust to any adversity. Have faith in the process and work on making that needed change beginning from within.

 

We know the concept but without following what we know, how can we expect change?

 

Knowing and adhering are two different things. Changes come when focus changes. Don’t ignore your abilities. You are the craftsman of your world. Ensure quality workmanship with your focus. You are a masterpiece! Know and believe then focus.

NEW MOON AUGUST 16, 2023

Today, August 16, 2023, we will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Leo at 23°.

 

With the New Moon in Leo it is all about assertion, moving ahead with new set plans and building achievements that have the potential for growth and attainment. In Leo, a part of you knows what is best for the situation and if letting go is part of the process, do not hang on to anything that no longer serves you or that no longer stimulates growth. Building positive ego is good at this time and will bring forth more confidence.

 

This is a time for revitalization, manifestation and pushing ahead with plans that can initiate change that will build into something as time passes. Don’t get stuck on past ventures unless they are helping you achieve something viable. As one cycle begins another often ends. Pushing forward in ways that also help others get out of ruts is recommended although make sure they want your help. You may know what is best and your intentions may be good but others may not want your assistance and prefer to take on the challenge themselves.

 

This energy can have something to do with personal endeavors, the desire for more fun in your life (letting the child come out to play), beginning a new romantic relationship, and/or helping others as mentioned.

 

Check which house (area of life) is being activated in your natal chart and if you have planets in conjunction, opposition and to a lessor degree square, trine and sextile to this placement. The aspects should be within 3° of one another.

 

The Sun and Moon are in conjunction when we experience a New Moon and, in this case, we also have T Uranus square to this position. Uranus pushes us towards change (also indicated with a New Moon). However Uranus acts on impulse and is erratic. It can force change on us to wake us up and move us in the direction we need to take. This can affect us emotionally and push us into action because of the intensity or challenge being presented.

 

Often, we get little hints that something needs changing and if we do not act, this is when Uranus’ energies take hold, forcing change and opening our eyes. Even though erratic and unexpected, the energies of Uranus push us to the place where we are now meant to be. Change can be challenging but holding on to something that no longer suits us can cause disruption that is not necessary and is not productive.

A GENTLE REMINDER

Let’s just stop for a second and reflect on who we are and who we think we are.

 

Should you adjust your concept of who you think you are and why you are here?

 

Do you feel worthy of what you want in life?

 

Do you live up to your expectations?

 

Do other’s expectations influence your definition of self?

 

The minute you are dictated by other’s expectations you will lose yourself. You begin to change to satisfy others and to fit in.

 

You are not here to satisfy others or their expectations. Be happy with the original masterpiece that you are. Be comfortable within your own skin and set your own goals and dream your own dreams. Do not live to satisfy others.

 

Be happy (it’s a personal decision). Accept and feel good about yourself. Make changes where changes are due because you believe that the changes would suit YOUR evolution. If necessary, build the character that you believe suits your soul’s needs.

 

Looks are fleeting and skin deep.

 

It is important to be healthy, so we need to do what is necessary to look after our earthy vessel for health’s sake but not for look’s sake.

 

Clutter around us can make us feel stressed so for our mental health ensure that you feel good about your surroundings. Our surroundings do not have to be new and fashionable, just clean and organized to make us feel relaxed and comfortable.

 

Remind yourself that you are ok just the way you are for now, then if deemed necessary build on what you would like to do FOR YOU and your growth. This is not to say that you should be wrapped up in you and only you but you must come first. You cannot “feed” a family from an empty cupboard. Fill your cup and then share your bounty. We need to look after ourselves first and then build from there.
