ADVERSITY IS A GREAT TEACHER

Have you been trying, for what seems an eternity, to reach certain goals? 

 

Sometimes there seems to be obstacles no matter what way you turn. You are just about to give up and out of the a door opens that was locked previously.

 

Many of us have experienced this.

 

How long does it take for everything to align so our goals can materialize? 

 

If our goals do materialize from all our hard work, will they be what we had hoped for?

 

Some goals in life do not materialize, while others do.  I have to point out that when some goals do not materialize, we should be celebrating as we cannot foresee some of the effects our goals could have brought about.  On the other side of the coin, reaching our goals can bring about much more than we ever dreamed.

 

In the long run, the results are not any more important than the effort we put into trying to reach them.  This might be hard to digest when we did not reach our ultimate goal, and all our hard work seems to have been for nothing.  Next time we might dig a little deeper and try harder; or alternative, we might know earlier when to back off and cut out losses. 

 

We gain perspective and learn from our efforts.  We advance in one way or another through what we either accomplish or what we failed to accomplish.  The ladder of success is not always an easy one, but one worth climbing.  Sooner or later, you will reach that ultimate goal even though it may not look like your thought it would. Guaranteed, however, we will be stronger because of our efforts and perseverance.

 

In the end, it is not just about reaching our objective. It is about building resilience; it’s about perseverance; it’s about building character through our own efforts. 

 

Internal struggles work the same way.  We build resilience when we deal with internal issues and gain strength as we make our way through them.  We learn from our mistakes and once again persevere.  We learn what it is to fail, to fall short, and we learn how to get back on our feet and begin once again.

 

Inner strength is built from life’s struggles. Strength comes from making our way through these struggles and learning from our experiences.  We are here to advance, learn and grow.  Adversity is a great teacher.

FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS 2024

On Monday, the 19th of August, we will experience a Full Moon in the sign of Aquarius at 27°. This will be precise at 2:25 p.m. EDT. 

 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon are exactly opposite one another. 

 

This Full Moon, if making contact in your chart, will raise your responsiveness and open doors for you to receive understanding of what is happening in your life.  This information is not something new as it has likely been in your awareness for some time.  You may now receive clarity under this influence as you are receiving information either from within or from outside influences.

 

The Full Moon’s cycle is active for three days and allows you to delve into how you have been addressing mental activities.  Have you been self-destructive? 

 What now needs your attention? 

 

In many cases, this awareness was first noted when the New Moon was in the same sign of Aquarius some six months ago.  If the Full Moon is influencing your chart, the contact should be within 3° on either side of a planet or angle in your birth chart.  So, for instance, this Full Moon is at 27° Aquarius so either by conjunction (0°), opposition (180°) or square (90°), it needs to be within the 3° range either before the 27 degrees or after.  Trines (120°) and Sextiles (60°) are also activated but their energies are not as noticeable.

 

The Full Moon is the culmination of what was put in place when the New Moon was in Aquarius some six months ago on February 9, 2024.  The Full Moon in Aquarius may have something to do with fellowship and awareness.  Brotherhood and new beginnings sometimes come to us when they are unexpected, and over time, they change our course.  This is an evolutionary position and often an awakening period.  It could have something to do with future endeavors associated with the house placement of this Full Moon in your chart. 

 

This can have a profound effect on your emotional and psychological state because often we need to let go of something.  Beware of unexpected, undesirable reactions. These can come at the most unexpected times or in the most unusual ways.  This is not only due to the placement of the Moon in Aquarius but also because this placement is making a Square to Transiting Uranus which currently is at 27° in the sign of Taurus. 

 

Mercury and the Sun are in opposition to the Moon which makes this a time when others may be making us aware that changes need to take place. Letting go is likely what needs to take place.

 

There will be a strong need to be able to express yourself in a clear and concise manner.  It will not matter how others feel about your personal expression, although you will have to take some time to reflect before expressing your opinions. 

 

When you move in the needed direction, you will find it much easier to understand your feelings although Aquarius has never been known for its emotions as it is much more tied to the intellectual mind.

 

Be ready for change as a result of this Full Moon in Aquarius which is likely linked with fellowship and awareness.  Brotherhood and new beginnings sometimes come to us when they are unexpected, and over time, they may change our course.

THERE HAS TO BE RAIN

We experience many highs and lows in life.  We have times of relative calm, mixed with times of heavy downpours of tough lessons.  Life can be irregular to say the least, and we must adapt to all the changing conditions.

 

I have heard the tough lessons in our life being compared to storms.

 

When rain falls in our life, these are times of solitude and the time of pondering ideas and simultaneously readdressing life issues that have not been dealt with so there has to be rain.  Intensions can be stimulated during these rainy seasons, and we have opportunities to go through details and orchestrate future actions based on what has transpired. The rain nurtures change and stimulates growth.

 

When the Sun shines, we are ready to step out in life to begin our venture with high expectations and bright ideas.  We assimilate our action, plan with force and move ahead although we often have no idea what lies ahead.  The sun is lighting the way, and we can address situations with the know-how previously learned in the rainy season.

 

There has to be rain to further our understanding of what life is teaching us and these quiet times of solitude prepare us for the Sunny days when we can move ahead. When we are amid a severe storm, we know that life is teaching us more aggressively, and we must adapt more readily under these stormy conditions.  The storm will eventually clear, and the forecast will get brighter. We can expect more pleasant days ahead, once we have adjusted to life lessons at hand.

 

Yes; We are very symbolic here, but the symbolism is quite fitting. It is comforting to know that there must be a little rain. It is essential from time to time and that the stormy season eventually comes to an end. The Sun will shine bright and bring forth warmth and light. We are strengthened by our experiences. All things pass, even the storms. What are you planning once the Sun’s light returns?

PLUTO IN AQUARIUS

Transiting Pluto moved into Aquarius temporarily from March to June of 2023 and again from January to early September of 2024 and will stay in the sign of Aquarius from November 2024 forward for about 20 years. 

 

Pluto’s main function in Astrology is to shed any unwanted or unnecessary elements and to transform things over time.  Pluto works beneath the surface and brings long overdue change although often not before some power struggles have played their part.  Pluto transforms and initiates evolutionary growth by breaking down structures that have outlived their worth.  There is often a period of deep reflection that leads to necessary change.  There are no halfway measures when it comes to the energies of Pluto.  Something must die for something new to begin.  It represents an ending of sorts and then a new beginning.

 

The sign Aquarius is often connected with humanitarian concerns.  Aquarius is progressive and has a vision for the future with new ideas.  The intension is to bestow the world with new ideas and involve others in this progression.  Aquarius has a vision and wants to make the world a better place for everyone.  The mission is a noble one with the general good of all intended. 

 

Aquarius provides excellent reasoning abilities with a compassionate view although the theme behind Aquarius can be rebellious, and it will push against any type of restraint.  Freedom is what Aquarius stands for and any sign of complacency to move forward is not what this is about.  Breaking away from structures that no longer work and finding a logical resolution to any problem that plagues mankind is what Aquarius strives to achieve.

 

Pluto in Capricorn was rather cold and was all about business and building structures that stand the test of time.  Now these structures, which can also be related to government and established systems need change as they no longer work effectively.  Letting go and moving forward may be a struggle, especially in the early stages of this evolutionary quest we now are starting to undertake. 

 

Over time, Pluto will move us in a different direction where humanity can recover from the past and move forward with great intent.  Much work will need to be done but much will remain beneath the surface and hidden for some time before we begin to see the effects. 

 

Any transitional period can be arduous, and the past can fight to try to hold on.  It will take willful people to do the work required and the ripple effects are already being felt. The old ways will not disappear without a fight but the new fights ahead are not about war and aggression, they are about peace and gentle reasoning with progressive action.

 

According to Astrology, we are at a critical stage in mankind’s development and have come to a crucial time to help with the transformation of this new age.  We are the forerunners, and we will work within the framework of what surrounds us and formulate a path forward enticing the general public to help and follow along the path of regeneration that is so badly needed in our war-torn world.

 

We politely say goodbye to Pluto in Capricorn and will welcome Pluto in Aquarius in its final and complete entrance in November, 2024.

NOTHING COMPARES

You can compare what you have or who you are to what others have or what they can do, but why? 

 

Comparisons only create jealousy or envy towards the other person or a feeling of lacking and doing without. There is no advantage to comparing ourselves to others. Why would we compare apples to oranges anyway?

 

There will always be individuals who appear to have more than we do or are capable of doing something we cannot. We are not who or what others are or can do. We are our own unique person with many positive characteristics and capabilities of our own. Nothing compares to who we are and what we are capable of doing. You are you and the skills you learn and what you acquire in life is what is needed for your life. We may not achieve our wants, but we achieve our needs.

 

Accept who you are and what you are capable of doing.  Acknowledge what you have achieved and place no limits on your capabilities.  The door always remains open even in the darkest moments.  It is up to us to advance, to move ahead and challenge ourselves to conquer each life lesson, to better ourselves and to rise above limitations. 

 

Don’t compare your abilities and your success to others.  Be content at least for the moment recognizing and appreciating your achievements.  Be thankful for your life and realize that every challenge, every lesson has made you who you are today and that person is a better, expanded, more knowledgeable person that you were yesterday. You know you can conquer and/or move forward from anything that comes your way no matter how big, no matter how difficult. Your lesson may be that of accepting and not reaching your goals, but you will grow and learn from this.

 

Falling short is not defeat. It is about doing your best and knowing that you did what you could and then accepting the outcome.  Not reaching our goals can be the biggest piece of luck we ever receive in life.  Not reaching our goal may open a door that offers us much more than we could ever have imagined.

 

Accept that life will take you to where you need to go.  Nothing compares to who we are and what we can do. We always win when we look at ourselves and our capabilities from that perspective.  Your view of you is what makes you a winner! Nothing compares…..

URANUS SQUARE NATAL URANUS

Transiting Uranus’ energy impacts us when it makes an aspect to our natal positions. This energy affects our lives for approximately one year and is very powerful when it is direct.  Transiting Uranus when impacting our charts has to do with change and disruption.  However, it does awaken us to new possibilities and new concepts, so it opens the door to realization. 

 

The Square aspects of Uranus occur at the ages of approximately 21 and 63. 

 

Uranus can cause havoc in our lives and often does so in unexpected and sudden ways.  This is all because a change is required. What has been in place is now outdated and needs revamping.  Quite often, we get little nudges along the way making us aware that something is no longer working, and an adjustment is required.  Sometimes, something brand new is part of the picture, and other times, changes to what is already in place is suffice.

 

The square aspect is a particularly difficult one.  Perhaps, we just don’t want to make changes because we have become accustomed and comfortable to what is in place even though it does not work any longer. 

 

The age of 21 is particularly challenging, partly because of our inexperience and partly because at the same time, Saturn is squaring its natal position.  This can be a rough year of lessons. 

 

At age 63/64, we now have had a lifetime of experience but may also not wish to make changes and may even refuse to do so.  We also have the Nodal Opposition at 63-64.  Also, around 65, Saturn once again Squares itself. These placements can be quite challenging. 

 

It is important to recognize that although the Square from Transiting Uranus to its natal position is a difficult one, the changes that are initiated by Uranus are meaningful ones. Over time, we come to realize that what took place was a requirement of our inner self because the journey needed to be revamped.  Squares, although difficult, can create such turmoil that we have to do something about the energies in place and the things that are creating these issues.  It is too hard to just sit back and do nothing, so we act.  This is a good thing.

 

The positioning of Natal Uranus and Transiting Uranus will be the areas of life being affected during the Uranus square Natal Uranus aspect.  Much will also be dependent upon the aspects to Natal Uranus in the birth chart and the rest of the transiting aspects in place during this aspect.

 

Transiting Uranus Square Natal Uranus is challenging but beneficial as it pushes us to make change where change is needed.

AMIDST ONGOING DISRUPTION

Amidst ongoing disruptions, both personally and globally, we can often struggle within ourselves to find a place of peace. 

 

Our busy minds tend to interfere with what we would like to be experiencing. The mind’s chatter can create worry and anxiety. Over time this chatter creates a must for quiet. Peace and quiet are an inside job; they always are created from within.

 

We can get caught up in the fast pace of life and we forget we are not our thoughts. We are the ones listening to the chatter.  Many of us know this but somehow get lost in the hustle and bustle. We are lost because of our loss of attentiveness to self and our requirements.

 

Take a couple of moments to reflect on how you are feeling and where your focus is. What have we buried deep within or let slip because of our endless struggle to try to keep up in this fast paced world?

 

Our thoughts and focus create our own personal reality. Whatever our focus we attract into or amplify in our life. Let’s be mindful and curtail our negative thoughts and our thoughts of lack of time and ease. Let’s open the door to peace and enjoyment no matter what the circumstances of our life.  These are a choice!  

 

Our quest is to rise above life’s hard lessons and overthrow negative influences by refocusing our attention on the benefits of the lessons and to see the creativity and positive energy in all that influences us.  This is not to say that we should not dealing with reality. We cannot ignore what we must learn in this life, but we can choose to enjoy the lessons and slow down to “smell the roses”.

 

There will be many struggles in life, if we choose to see them as struggles.

 

Work your own little magic by living your life with a positive focus and with mindfulness, not blindly rushing through routine and reacting to life events.

 

By being the agents of change simply by being our authentic selves and focusing on that which brings peace of mind, we take control and build on peace and enjoyment rather than stress and anxiety.

 

Even with the smallest of effort, we will experience positive change which will provide us with the strength and focus to address our lessons in life no matter what they may entail. Amidst ongoing disruptions, both personally and globally, with the right attitude and focus we will more than endure, we will overcome and rise above.
