TRANSITING NEPTUNE QUINCUNX SUN

When Neptune transits the natal chart, it is important that we see things as they are, not as we wish them to be. 

 

Neptune tends to colour our view and often puts a haze or a veil on situations. The saying “Seeing through rose-colored glasses” fits this situation perfectly as, under this influence, we tend to put people or life’s conditions high on a pedestal. 

 

It can become disheartening when the veil is lifted, and we finally see things as they actually are. Much, of course, will depend on the aspects that transiting Neptune is making to other natal planets, the planets involved and the houses they are located in within the Astrology chart. The house Neptune is transiting through will also be of utmost importance as this is reflective of the area of life which is involved. With today’s focus of Neptune Quincunx (150 degrees) the Sun, you would also want to take into consideration the Sun’s placement by house position in your personal chart.

 

The Sun has to do with our life’s goals, ambitions and our ability to succeed in life. It helps us find our path, controls our destiny, deals with our vitality, and sometimes refers to the father or important masculine or dominant people in our lives.

 

When Neptune is in transit to our Sun by quincunx, also known as inconjunct, it often speaks of a time when we need to or should make some alterations or adjustments to our plans. Neptune can make us a little dreamy concerning what it is we want to manifest in our life. The quincunx aspect has also been linked to health concerns but there must be other factors pointing in the same direction in the chart for this to have any influence.

 

Sometimes these adjustments are rather subtle, and we do not have to do too much in order to get on track. Other times, this is not the case. We may have been fooling ourselves for some time. This can suggest that it is time for a reality check although at other times we can get inspirational assistance once we begin to make alterations and accept what is in front of us. We might want to go to outside sources for further guidance on what it is we are doing or what it is we believe is happening.

 

Much will depend on the house transiting Neptune is moving through. Neptune moves slowly and will spend many years in one house. This area of life will become activated when Neptune transits other natal positions.  

 

We will also need to see where natal Neptune is located in the chart as this provides further information as to what areas of life are involved and how things might unfold. The natal aspects to Neptune will also provide information that might assist with understanding what is taking place under this aspect.

 

If transiting Neptune makes favorable aspects to other natal positions, this can be a time of great revelation and intuitive insight. The psychic realms can become more intriguing, and you should pursue these expressions and delve deeper to get an understanding of what this might mean for you. Neptune is a mystical planet and offers insight into the psychic realm. 

 

You can allow an orb of influence of 5-7 degrees approaching, and as it nears exactitude, the energies will strengthen. The energies begin to fade as Neptune passes out of orb after being direct by 2 degrees of separation. If Neptune moves into retrograde during this time frame, it can have several passes over the same degree and be quite influential. The first exact pass, however, is usually the most powerful.

NEW MOON AUGUST 8, 2021

 We will be experiencing a New Moon on Sunday August 8, 2021.

New Moons speak of new beginnings and when in the sign of Leo at 16 degrees, these new beginnings will push you full ahead and likely make you feel as though you can accomplish anything. Leo is very exuberant and has a lot of energy when it comes to initiating anything that speaks to them from the heart. Leo feels that it knows which way to move forward and often does not feel the need to get help from others.

 

There is a slight deterrent from Uranus which is making a square to this positioning of the Moon/Sun (Transiting Uranus is at 14 degrees Taurus). Uranus pushes us to make changes and, in many cases, begin anew with new insight and vision for the future. Uranus’s action, however, can be quite abrupt and sudden and in many cases, it is best to wait a little before determining which path to take. Change is important but reviewing your options before you make your move is a good idea.

 

 There is often a freedom aspect connected to this push for new beginnings and a need to break away from anything intrusive or stagnated. What you set forth on at this time will likely take some time to come to full fruition (should occur when we have a Full Moon in the same sign six months from now). Avoid being abrupt with making plans and don’t miss any steps along the way, but if you really feel the need to advance in a new direction take the bull by the horns and push ahead. If you misstep, you can always make changes at time passes.

 

Much will depend on the house placement of the New Moon and the aspects it makes in your natal chart. Also, the aspects that transiting Uranus is making at this time will have a significant impact on the path ahead. You always need to review your whole chart before making plans to advance. The natal potential is often released during strong transits and progressions. Your natal planets will need to be within three degrees either by conjunction, square or opposition to have any real impact. The trine and sextile also play a role in what takes place, but these work in a gentler manner and often have greater rewards than some of the harder aspects may indicate.

 

The answers are always written in your chart. You can make any energy work in your favor. Astrology points the way; you make the decisions.

SIMPLY ALLOW

Your choices are many. The path you choose has many branches that can take you to places you are unaware of. It is not fully a matter of timing, and it is not fully a matter of knowing but both are part of the process. Each step, each event, each lesson (good or challenging) is just meant to be. Allowing the unfolding as it happens makes your experiences less abrasive. Stress comes when we fight the inevitable. The path is our choice, but the destination in many ways is fixed.  There are alternative paths that lead ultimately to the same destination.

 

You are in control of each decision.  You have a voice in what your reaction will be. We are never at the mercy of life although sometimes it certainly feels that way.  We choose our reactions to each event in our lives. 

 

Acceptance is important...acceptance of what life throws our way. Acceptance is not surrender -- far from it. Set goals; act and reach those goals but do not fight what has already happened in life. This you cannot change BUT your attitude towards it you have full control over. We make decisions which can make the lessons difficult, or we make decisions that allow the lessons to flow.

 

What do you choose?

MINI FORECAST LEO - JULY TO OCTOBER 2021

 The Planets that we will focus on are Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto. During this time frame, Jupiter will move between 22 to 29 degrees of Aquarius (going direct on October 18) and forming an opposition to the Sun in Leo at these degrees. Neptune in Pisces (between 20 to 22 degrees) will be in retrograde this whole period forming a quincunx. Pluto which will be retrograde in Capricorn 24 to 25 degrees, also making a quincunx to those with their Leo Sun at these degrees. You can allow up to a five-degree approaching direct and a two-degree separating to your Leo Sun.

 

The Aspect between Pluto and the Sun will likely be pronounced and particularly strong for those with their Sun direct to this placement.  Pluto speaks of transformation and change and often points towards conditions related to the house positions that Pluto is transiting through and the natal placement of your Sun by house. Check your natal position of Pluto to get further details.

 

Pluto suggests issues related to power struggles and a need for control of situations.  Change will be due, and you may find that you must adjust what is taking place in your life.  You may feel as though life is pushing you in a new direction and making powerful suggestions as what once was is no longer suitable.  You can resist these necessary adjustments, but it is likely futile.  This can take many shapes and the astrological houses will clearly identify just how these energies will surface.

 

Transiting Neptune will also be making a quincunx to the placement of your Leo Sun and may have been quite aware of its energies before July, 2021.  Neptune in quincunx to the Sun tends to dissolve conditions and adds a veil of uncertainty.  You may be unsure where this is taking you and feel confused as to which way to turn and how to move ahead.  The Sun often deals with goals and aspirations and speaks directly about what this means for you.  Internal changes are likely taking place and you may be viewing life from a different perspective now. The mystery of this transit also speaks of adjustments being required, and as you move through this energy, you will begin to shift and evaluate where life is taking you.

 

Jupiter in Aquarius making an opposition to this position suggests other people are part of the picture and that they are the ones initiating the activity. You may be swept along because of their actions.  Jupiter expands on things and makes things seem larger than life.  Although all these aspects indicate some level of tension and adjustment, Jupiter often suggests that taking this new route might just be what needs to happen.  Jupiter also promotes growth through experience and favourable conditions as time passes.

 

There will likely be some challenging conditions linked to what is taking place but as with nearly all of life’s situations they take us where we need to go.  Remember the silver lining and you should never give in or give up but learn to flow with the energies at hand and make the best of what they offer.  There are always little glimmers of light in the not-so-far distance, and you will learn a great deal from what happens as your life progresses.  Challenging conditions build inner strength and test your resilience.  You will be surprised at how strong you are and how you can see potential as time passes.

 

It will be imperative to look at other aspects the transiting planets and progressions are making to the rest of your chart to get clear indicators of what to expected.  The whole picture must be studied before jumping to conclusions and your Astrologer can assist you in figuring out the situations taking hold in life.

AFTER THE STORM COMES THE SUN

During the storm, it appears that we could be swept away by the force. After any storm, however, is there not a clearing and then the sun returns?

 

In the face of adversity, stand tall. Know that you are meant to be exactly where you are. Experience today’s events. Have faith in the process. Believe in yourself and stay open. Allow love and compassion, and you will experience love and compassion.  

 

The storm is not yours to own. It is a passing experience. During the storm, stay true to who you are and do not own the turmoil around you. The storm will pass and the lessons it brings will be invaluable.

SOLAR RETURN CHART

A Solar Return Chart is generally prepared at the time of an individual’s birthday, although it can be prepared at any time and is prepared with information on the exact day that the Sun returns to its original position in the natal chart, by the sign, degree, and minute, precisely. If the Sun in the birth chart is in Capricorn at 15 degrees 12 minutes, the return chart is prepared with the exact same location for the year in focus.

 

This Chart is prepared in similarly to a birth chart, as the exact timing establishes the Ascendant degree for your location. The location is where you may happen to be on the day of the return, (which, again, establishes the Ascendant’s degree.) It is read as a birth chart although it is only focused for the year from birthday to birthday. Some begin to feel the energies as they approach the birthday as much as 3 months prior to the actual birthday. 

 

Studying your Solar Return Chart can help you prepare for the energies which will be at hand and you can focus on whatever areas of life will be emphasized for that year. You can also add transits to the solar return for the period in question.

 

The Ascendant sign and ruling planet of the Ascendant, the Moon and its sign and house position, the Sun and its house position as well as any major configurations and tight aspects will play significant roles. If the Solar Chart has many similarities to the natal chart, it will be an important year, especially if the rising sign is close in degree to the rising sign of the natal chart.

 

The Moon, its house and aspects will define your emotional makeup for the focal year. You should also investigate the aspect from the Solar chart to the natal positions, as this will help give a clear picture and provide you with timers for events and areas of life that might be involved. Remember our natal chart is our blueprint.

 

Although the Sun is in the same sign and degree, its house placement likely will be different. There are many other facets to take into consideration but this chart on its own will define clearly what to expect in the year in focus and will often correlate with the transits and progressions to the natal chart. It adds dimension to the overall translation of upcoming energies and events in the forecast for the year ahead.

SYNASTRY AND COMPOSITE CHARTS

 Synastry and Composite charts can be prepared when two people first meet or when there is an ongoing relationship. These charts provide clues into the nature and function of the relationship. The relationship can be emotional, business or otherwise.  These Chart reveal the compatibility of the individuals involved and provide insight into how both the easy flow energies and the more challenging energies of the relationship will flow.

 

The Composite chart uses the calculated midpoint of all the planets and angles.  Synastry charts are the comparison between two individuals using their natal charts and then looking for aspects between the two charts.

 

Either chart can be prepared for two individuals (business partners, life partners, parent/child relationship, sibling relationship, and the list goes on).  Any two individuals can have these types of charts prepared, however to have either of these charts prepared an accurate birth time, date of birth and place of birth for both individuals are required.

 

There are challenging aspects in most charts and sometimes areas that lack specific energies.  The charts can indicate if the other individual has to bring resolution to any issue or bring further difficulties into place.  The energies and type of aspect will often denote what to expect and how to overcome the adversity or how to manipulate the energies in such a way to promote positivity into the relationship.

 

Both the Composite and the Synastry charts are very detailed. There is much to be revealed using this method and insight that can prove to be quite valuable.
