MINDFULNESS OR IMPULSE

Life comes with many rules.  Some seem reasonable and others, it is hard to understand why they are in place.

 

There will be times when we know it is essential to speak up to help change our lives, our world or specific situations in our life for the better.  Parents, management, government, etc. that set the rules can be rigid and steadfast to old rules, but it is imperative to find ways to share our thoughts, especially in ways not to ruffle egos if we want to be heard.  Acting on impulse may not be the best way. After all, change is what we want, not recognition. We can leave our egos out of the equation as well.

 

The way we approach things is important.  With the right attitude and with mindfulness, we can help create favorable change.  It may feel restrictive with this approach, but it is far more important to accomplish what we set out to do instead of creating blockades because of our approach.

 

Most people are open to suggestions. The old saying goes, “You get more bees with honey than you do with vinegar”. 

 

There are many ways to get your point across.  Forethought and a gentle, respectful but firm approach is worth consideration.

PISCES NEW MOON 2024

We will experience a New Moon on March 10, at 5 a.m. EDT at 20° in the sign of Pisces.  This New Moon is in the 3^rd decant, and therefore, has some Scorpio influence.  It is also sextile to transiting Uranus which is at 19° of Taurus. 

 Being in the sign of Pisces, and having some influence of Scorpio, there will likely be a strong sensitivity during this new moon phase.  The emotions are subject to fluctuations, and although those affected will be highly sensitive and quite emotional, their outward expressions will fluctuate from overactive to hidden or subdued. As a result, if you are affected by this New Moon you can be quite unpredictable but the New Moon energies can offer opportunities for change on some level.  Much depends on the houses involved in your own personal chart.

 

This is the time for change because what has been in place no longer serves a workable purpose.  If influenced by this new moon, you may feel the need for change but may also not want to ruffled the feathers that have already settled in.  You don’t want to disrupt things, but you know that a change is coming, and this is the time for planting the seeds for this transformation.  It is a time of new beginnings that can take about 6 months to germinate, and you will see some results (if you put forth an effort) during the Pisces full moon in September, 2024.

 

If influenced, you are sensitive and may find that you lash out without reason, but you should also know that outside influences can weigh heavy on you now.  You feel with intensity and can pick up on what others are feeling as your intuitive side is being influenced.  You can be quite psychically influenced and may know things before they unfold.  You likely will tend to keep these experiences to yourself however.

 

This is the time to lay a lasting foundation. Although the change to do so may be disruptive and unexpected in the ways it may unfold, you will find that over time it was exactly what was needed as you are now be in a place that offers some growth.  You can awaken to a whole new set of circumstances and a new perspective on life. 

 

Of course, the whole chart will need to be reviewed before a clear definition of what is possible as a result of the energies of this Piscean New Moon.  The whole chart paints the picture, and the New Moon starts the action.

HUMAN INTERACTION

Many individuals have grown uncomfortable interacting with others face to face. It may be as a result of the pandemic, it may be our reliance on technology or it may be due to other reasons.

 

It might be time to reacquaint ourselves with direct human contact and enjoy human interaction once again.

 

Human interchange is important to us as a whole. We need community.  It has been essential to our development as the human race. At our core, we have a need to belong. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but we all benefit from interaction with others.

 

Overall, humanity is good at its core. Our intuitive perception often warns us of those that might not have our best interests at heart. It is imperative to listen to the little voice inside that gives us these warnings.  We all have guides that help us along our road of life, no matter how alone we might feel.

 

It is time to truly start living again. Step away from worries and concerns, from anxiety and fear, and step back out into living as a community. 

 

Share your life. 

 

Share your thoughts. 

 

Share you!

OUR TRANSITION THROUGH THE HOUSES, PART III

As discussed in our posts on February 26 & 28, thinking strictly of the energies of the houses, without focusing on the energies of the planets, comets or anything else that migrates through the Zodiac, there is a progression of learning which we build on as we transit the houses.

 

We looked at the first four houses on February 26, 2024, www.holmastrology.com/post/our-transition-through-the-houses-in-astrology and the fifth through the eighth on February 28, www.holmastrology.com/post/our-transition-through-the-houses-in-astrology-part-ii.

 

Let’s finish with the ninth through the twelfth houses. 

 

As we enter the ninth house, we should find our answers through a transformation that is in the process, because we are now going through a stage of higher learning and reaching out to find a philosophy that fits our growth.  We are expanding our consciousness and learning about the mystical side of life.  Some begin to venture into uncharted territory of religion, and some learn about the higher education that comes from life.  This may be a time for travel and a time to learn about foreign cultures. We may want to see how others live and recognize in many cases how fortunate we are.  We should be optimistic as we move forth and know that the deeper we go, the further we grow.  This is a time (and a life) of learning. We must be open to what life is teaching us.

 

Through the teachings of life often acquired in the ninth house, we now reach out to advance our goals and objectives.  Is our career satisfying?  Is this the path we wish to take?  Do we want to make moves or is life in a good position, so to speak? Are we satisfied with our success so far?  The path in life can now become quite clear as we spent some time in the previous stage developing and learning about what we should be doing, and we may now communicate this to our environment.  We may get recognition for what we are doing, and in some cases, this recognition can become extreme.  Our place in society and our life’s status may be subject to change or we might realize that we should have put more effort into our objectives and now we need to re-evaluate.  Perhaps we need to talk to someone, someone in authority or perhaps we need to look to a group where we can share our thoughts and advance our cause.

 

This is where the eleventh house raises its head.  We may be thinking about joining a group to advance our objectives with people to share our innermost thoughts.  We search for a group that suits our journey. We might make important connections which eventually become our most cherished friends.  Our hopes and dreams may now have a chance to materialize, and we can move in a direction that not only helps us but also pushes the whole of humanity, or at least humanity in our little corner of the world, forward.  We know about the ripple effect, and we along with our group of friends, might be able to do more than we could as individuals.  This can be a time of erratic change and new directions. The psychic realm may be right around the corner.

 

Finally, we reach the last stage of development as we enter the twelfth house.  This is the place where we can rely on our intuition and insight and even dreams seem to have their place in our reality.  We need to let go a little and believe or just accept that there are higher forces in place now.  Do we need solitude?  Have we lived our life in a place of confinement?  Are we ready to trust?  Is there anything that needs uncovering?  Are we seeing things as they truly are?  We are now being guided, (although we always have been). The twelfth house energies make us aware after careful evaluation, and Spirit is our guide as we become whole once again.

 

What lies ahead as we move into our first house again?

 

We now continue with our building. This re-entry into the first house is a fresh start forward building or continuing  what we have experienced thus far.  Life is a magnificent journey of learning and building.  We are the orchestrator of our life and by our focus and thought processing, we develop the story.  Be sure to use every tool available to you during this life’s journey.  Astrology is a very valuable one!

REAR-VIEW MIRROR

Occasionally, we may wish things had stayed the same, and we try to live while looking in the rear-view mirror. There are other occasions when we thank our lucky stars that we are out of past situations, and they are behind us.

 

Whether these were pleasant times or challenging times, for some individuals it does not seem to matter. They hold on to yesterday. 

 

The past is gone and will never return in its past glory or in its failed ventures (however you view it).  People leave us, times change, and we work our way through these temporary interchanges.  It is important to move forward without holding on to the past. Living in the past serves no current productive purpose.  The past taught us valuable lessons that we should utilize in our current ventures but we can’t venture forth without letting go.

 

Even looking towards our future and thinking in terms of what might be is somewhat futile. We really have little idea of what lies ahead.  This does not mean that we should not be prepared for our future but there will be many twists and turns that will be unforeseen.  Plan but be flexible.

 

All we truly have is the ever-present now. Living in the moment allows us to live to the fullest.  Be here now and experience the moment.  It is all you really have.

OUR TRANSITION THROUGH THE HOUSES IN ASTROLOGY, PART II

As discussed in our post on February 26, in Astrology, the Ascendant is a new beginning.  As anything moves through the first houses, we begin again. Thinking strictly of the energies of the houses, without focusing on the energies of the planets, comets or anything else that migrates through the Zodiac, the first house is the beginning, a new birth or new start and each house forward builds on our transition through the houses in Astrology.

 

We looked at the first four houses on February 26, 2024 - www.holmastrology.com/post/our-transition-through-the-houses-in-astrology. Let’s continue with houses five through eight. 

 

Our home and family and our heritage are now a part of us as we transit out of the fourth house into the fifth.  The fifth house is the house of children and romantic involvement.  In some cases, we decide that this is the time to begin a family and some Astrologers believe that the fifth house describes our first-born child.  We also look to find someone to love, and a romantic involvement often makes its way into our hearts.  Often, we also become aware of our creative expression, and we may begin to venture forth into these areas of expression.  It is important to realize that fun is a big part of life, and the fifth house is often where we address this.

 

We now move from the fifth house of romance and perhaps the pursuit of children to examining our daily routine. Topics of discussion may involve our working environment and those we work with.  We might ask ourselves, “is this what we want to do with our life?  Are the people that surround us on a daily basis, the people that fit our plans for the future?  Are we satisfied with how things are and is this affecting our health in any manner?  We may see all the little flaws in our working environment and ask ourselves, “is this affecting my wellbeing?  In many circumstances, we need to relax a little and let our nerves settle down and look to see if this is the right fit for us or do we simply need to change our attitude.  Perhaps a pet might help calm us after a busy day at work.  Just a sixth house thought.

 

The workplace and its people are important factors in our overall health and our financial situation, (this incorporates the sixth as well as the second houses which, by the way, are both earth houses dealing with earth matters).  We now move from the sixth house into our seventh house which, first and foremost, has to do with our relationships.  This can be relationships with our co-workers but pertains more directly to our relationships with important people in life such as our partners.  Life is certainly moving ahead, and our partner now can become an important factor in life as we progress.  We need to share our lives with those that matter, and this is where we learn about cooperation, balance and how to create harmony within relationships with others.  We may even think about starting our own business with the help of or through a joint relationship with someone.  We need to feel whole, and we also need things to be fair. Sometimes we will need to watch for open enemies within that core group.  This is not always the case but worth mentioning. Often your partner helps with any conditions that might surface as you move ahead in your endeavors. 

 

We now have our work situation hopefully figured out and our relationship with our partner is healthy. If not, now as we begin to share resources, we might need to have a deep reflective period where we can analysis what it is that we want and need.  Some find that an interest arises in occult matters due to the deep inner reflection that often takes place during this phase of development in our eighth house.  Sometimes something needs to be reborn at this time and in some cases, we lose something or someone that matters, but without this stage, we cannot evolve and transform towards our life objectives and/or find who we truly are.  This is an explorative life, and we are embarking on this journey to find meaning and truth.

 

We will finish our journey through the houses in our next Astrology post on March 4.

TAKE LIFE AS IT COMES

We all experience life events that are anything but comfortable.  This is a common thread we all share, and these periodic events can make us feel stifled and can deplete our enjoyment of life. 

 

We feel so content when life flows smoothly, yet when we experience the slightest little twist, we may feel slightly off kilter or struggle immensely. 

 

Realistically, we cannot escape life’s lessons. Many of us look at them as punishment or bad luck, and we can get caught up in the event spending far too much time thinking about “our bad luck” and “why me” as opposed to welcoming the lessons for growth and expansion.

 

“Loss” is often a big portion of our lessons whether it is loss of a loved one as they pass over or when we walk away from someone or someone else walks out of our lives and the list goes on. 

 

Are these actual losses?

 

A loved one passing on has just moved to the next chapter of their soul’s journey. How could that be a loss?

 

Being with someone whose energy clashes with us or that we have outgrown is not ideal by any stretch of the imagination.  Saying our goodbyes and moving on to a new chapter in our life is not a loss. It is a new beginning.

 

Our attitude towards events and choices can make the experience less than ideal or we can see the event for what it is and use it for growth. A life event, teaching us lessons that can only be taught this way, they are not punishment or bad luck. They are growth and propulsion forward. Take life as it comes.

 

These lessons can be uncomfortable, for the moment, but remember, they are temporary, and we will adjust. They provide us with valuable lessons or life experiences that would not otherwise have been taught.  There is usually a deeper meaning behind these events although we may not be able to understand what is being taught in the moment.  Don’t search for the answers to these experiences. Let them reveal themselves to you.  The search itself can hold you back.

 

Your attitude and focus play important roles in all life experiences.  You cannot escape your life and what is. You are meant to experience the lesson; how long you hold onto the pain is a choice.  That is up to you and your focus can change when you decide that it is time to move on. 

 

Do not focus on what is missing, focus on what you have.  Pay heed to all the little things in life that are working even when they are hard to find, for they are still there.  Your focus amplifies what is. With practice, this focus gets easier and easier. It does take work to become accustomed to how the mind operates but it is no different that muscle memory.  Practice makes perfect.

 

Don’t forget, you are not your mind. You are the one listening to it.
