TIME TO REFOCUS

Are you overly focused on the needs of everyone else? 

 

Do you neglect your own needs? 

 

You matter as well.  If you don’t look after your own needs, who will? 

 

You are important and you can’t help others for long if you neglect yourself.  You matter and you should be a priority.

Take a moment to think of something that you wish for yourself. What was your reaction? 

 

Your reaction will be a good indicator of the importance you place on “YOU”.  Is there a part that says you are not worthy or not good enough? 

 

Recognize your value. Do something for you!  We are not referring to material things. We are referring to your health - mentally, physically and spiritually. Pay particular attention to how you talk to yourself and how you prioritize your needs.

 

Listening to that little voice that whispers what is important for you right now, even if it is just a 5 minute break from the hustle of parenthood, from the demands of clients, etc.

 

You have value.  Respect that value. Time to refocus.

JUPITER OPPOSITION NATAL MARS

We will focus on Transiting Jupiter Opposition Natal Mars in this post.

 

The transit of Jupiter, unless it moves into retrograde motion, lasts approximately three weeks.  Jupiter is about expansion, opportunities and growth through life experience or life lessons. 

 

Mars’ energies are about drive and ambition and wants to move forward via direct action.  Sometimes these energies need a push but under most conditions, they are assertive on their own. 

 

The opposition often involves others and can define itself by overaction, excessive energy and sometimes too much drive and ambition.  Sometimes with this combination of Jupiter and Mars, we need to set limits and realize that we can make impulsive decisions that might not work in our favor in the long run.

 

You will likely feel more assertive and enthusiastic about your endeavors under this influence.  You may have to watch for promising more than you can deliver because of this enthusiastic push to make things happen.  Others may feel this push from you and take advantage of your outgoing nature under this influence.  You do seem to be a source of opportunity and drive and may send out energetic vibes that can make others feel that you can bring good luck and opportunities their way (as well as in your own direction).  Sometimes we need to hold back and review what we wish to accomplish before moving forward. In many cases, however, things just seem to work and fall into place.

 

Using this energy in positive ways should be your focus and if you have something that needs work, especially any fears that you might have, now will be the time where you can find ways to overcome them. 

 

Jupiter, regardless of the type of aspect, will most often bring desired results through actively seeking resolution or associated action.  There are big opportunities for growth, but you will have to be the push but don’t push too hard especially if you oversee others.  The drive that you have right now may not be shared by your co-workers or assistants.

 

In case Jupiter does go into its retrograde cycle, you may find that it passes over your Natal Mars three times.  Once when it initially moves across the area, a second time when it moves over it again in retrograde and the final time when it passes over it once again when it returns to direct motion.  The initial connection when Jupiter reaches our Natal Mars is usually the strongest and the time to move ahead.  The second time it moves across while in retrograde might be the best time to make plans for what you need to do. When it crosses Natal Mars for the last time, you may make the final decisions that were initiated in the first pass and finalize things.

DO NOT BE DISMAYED

At times, we can feel alone, disenchanted, unloved and we feel abandoned.  This can be especially true around the holidays or when we are comparing ourselves to others.  We can become distressed, unorganized, worried, and anxious about where life is taking us or not taking us.  We wish for a glimmering hope of better days ahead.

 

We wonder if things will ever shift, and this is when most of us decide to find our way out. The first step would be to face these issues head on. Dive deep! Where do these issues stem from and what are they teaching us?

 

Push yourself to take the first step.

 

Challenges can feel like we made a wrong turn but there are no wrong turns in life. While in the midst of a challenge, especially one that we are trying to hide from, this concept may be difficult to understand let alone accept.  But running away from issues is not the easy way. More often than not, the issue keeps resurfacing.  It will persist until we have learned the lesson at hand.

 

If we dig in and are determined, we gain strength, self-confidence, valuable insight and knowledge from the experience.  All things pass, and if we persevere and push ourselves, the lessons are learned and our reality (or maybe our perspective) shifts.

 

Stand your ground as you are stronger than you think.  You will reap the rewards from your challenges even during those times it feels as though it is just one thing after another.  Sometimes life goes this way when you want it to go that way but life continually shifts. There is always valuable information and growth on the other side of life’s lessons.

 

Do not be dismayed.  You can and will make your way through.  Dig in and take charge!

SUN IN CAPRICORN TRANSITS

This post focuses on the Transits for individuals with their Sun in Capricorn for 2023/2024. For details on the Sun in Capricorn visit our blog post www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-capricorn-2023

 

In this post we will be discussing those who have their Sun in the sign of Capricorn and have transiting Uranus in trine and Neptune sextile to their Sun.  Neptune is in the later degrees of Pisces (25° at this time), while Uranus goes direct on January 26, 2024, at 19°.  Both planets will be in direct motion into the later stages of January 2024 although Neptune is direct when we discuss these interchanges taking hold.

 Both the trine and the sextile aspects are considered positive in nature.  Both planets relate to insight and clarity while in direct motion.  Neptune can be a little foggy at times depending on its connectedness with the rest of the chart but is usually considered insightful under all conditions due to its connection with the psychic realm.

 Uranus in trine to the Sun (19° and moving forward) suggests that the timing is ripe for change and new beginnings when connected to who you are and the path ahead.  This can include your objectives and in some cases what you wish to change on a personal level.  Who you are and the way you react to life may take shape now, and you can be ready for the unexpected in positive terms under these influences.  You may wish to change jobs or the path you are on in a completely new direction.  This new direction may be one that was not considered just a short while ago, although in the recent past you may have had inclinations that things needed to change. You may have felt that life was becoming stagnant, and a change was necessary.  This may come as a surprise to others and this move is normally not like you, as you like the tried and tested and wish for things not to change.

 

Uranus is known as the awakener and makes you aware of a change requirement so that you can move in the appropriate direction.  Neptune on the other hand, which is in the late degrees of Pisces, will form a tight bond with Transiting Uranus towards the end of the summer and into the fall of 2024.  Neptune will move into its retrograde cycle at 29° Pisces on or about October 24, 2024, and form a tight sextile with transiting Uranus. They will both make aspects to anyone with their Sun in the later degrees of Capricorn at this time. 

 

While Neptune is in its retrograde cycle, if you are planning on making important changes to your life and paths direction, things may be a little unclear under this energy.  You should, if at all possible, make significant changes before this time to get the most out of what you have in place.

 

Neptune can open doors to discovery and the psychic side, and intuitive understanding may be primed before Neptune goes retrograde.  Look for insight into the psychic realm if this is your inclination and be ready for prophetic dreams under this influence. 

 

Uranus can open doors and Neptune can provide the needed insight to comprehend what is taking hold in life.  This can be a gateway to learning about your own capabilities through the channeling of these two giants in Astrology.

 

Take advantage of the energies available to you this upcoming cycle.  Happy solar return Capricorn.

DECEMBER 2023 CANCER FULL MOON

The Full Moon on December 26, 2023, is in the sign of Cancer at 4°. Anyone with a planet or angle conjunct, in opposition or square to this position will be noticeably influenced by the energies of this placement. 

 

This Full Moon is the culmination phase or final stages of what began some six months earlier when the New Moon was in Cancer.  The Full Moon phase is a time of reaping the rewards for our hard work and diligent efforts, or it is a time of letting go of unfinished business or of issues that are no longer suitable for you.  This can involve a relationship of significance, or it can evolve around your home when the moon is in Cancer.

 

This is an emotionally delicate time and those that are more “feeling” individuals can be quite sensitive to what is taking place.  This does not imply that this is a challenging time, although it can be for some again due to “feeling” things rather than those that rely on their intellect in life. 

 

If this Full Moon influences your chart, your senses are heightened, and you can become attached or influenced deeply with what is unfolding.  Perhaps decision making is now part of the focus, and this may involve a family member. This would be particularly so if perhaps Mercury is part of the picture, or the third house is involved.  Much will depend on the houses involved in your chart as this will be the area of life being influenced.

 

The energies from other transiting planets may reinforce this energy in positive ways, but once again, you must look at your personal chart to get a clear picture.  This positive influence is in force because Jupiter is making a sextile to the Cancer Full Moon’s placement.  Sextiles represent opportunities and although something may fall into your lap, you will still need to take action, or this opportunity could slip through your fingers.

 

The Moon and Saturn during their transiting time are also making a Trine offering stability in what you are attempting to move towards or what you have put in place.  If, for example, things do not look overly favorable or the outcome does not look promising, perhaps you will have to pick up the pieces and start over again as a new path presents itself to you.  Saturn can indicate hard work and some obstacles to overcome but the trine aspect offers stability and structure over time if you put in the work required.  Saturn always pays dividends when we do what needs to be done.

 

Look at your chart to find what potential lies ahead and remember no matter how things might look, opportunities are always in place to provide valuable experiences that will assist you in your life over time.

OUR MIND CAN TELL US ANYTHING

Many of us live our lives in worry and fear and are drawn in by thoughts of failure, not being good enough, not living up to our own expectations or the expectations of others, or any other way of thinking that diminishes our value and our life’s experience. 

 

Recognize that you are not your thoughts; you are the one listening to your thoughts.  Our mind can tell us anything. Our mind can change the story over and over in a blink of an eye. You can either get caught up in the stories, or you can take what is relevant and use it for the benefit of your overall development and experience.

 This is not to say that by ignoring our mind’s chatter that we can escape our life’s lessons and circumstances. Life happens but we can choose how we respond to lessons and circumstances. We can allow them to rule our waking moments (and dreams for that matter), or we can rise above these invasive, non-productive thoughts simply by acknowledging them and then releasing them.

 

We do not have to be captives of our thought patterns. Recognizing these thoughts and where they are leading you is the first step to changing your focus or perspective.  Your life experience is truly all about perspective.  Your thoughts are something you experience but they are not you.

 

Take safety measures to remind yourself that you are only the listener. You decide if you hold on to the message or let it go.  Life happens but you are in control of your reaction and your focus. Change your attitude (focus), change your life.

SUN IN CAPRICORN 2023

Those with their Sun in the sign of Capricorn, which is a Cardinal, Earth sign, are known to be hard working individuals.  They have their minds set on reaching their highest potential which must incorporate lessons about responsibility and their obligations not only to themselves but also to others.  They are the realists of the Zodiac, and with their commitment and drive, they are often able to reach their objectives in life.

 

Material goals are often a big part of their priorities, and they are concerned with tangible results rewarded through diligent effort and consistent work ethics. These individuals can be overly intent to achieve, almost regardless of any intrusion along the way.  They plan on reaching that summit whatever it may be and learn lessons of patience which is acquired through endurance and effort.  They use the resources at their disposal and do the best they can with these available resources whatever they may be.

 

The Sun has to do with our inner essence, who we are at our core and our individuality which separates us from others, although in the big scheme of things, we are all joined together in the realm of humanity and share what we exude in our outward expression.  The Sun also has to do with our goals and objectives and the road we walk in this life.  It explains clearly what the motivating factors are in our personal experience and why we feel the urgency to move in any particular direction.  Of course, there is much more but this is what our Sun sign highlights.

Capricorn’s ruling planet is Saturn, which is known as the teacher and disciplinarian of the Zodiac.  It has lessons that will be taught throughout life, and the road that we walk connected to Saturn’s energies is often not an easy one.  Life for the typical Capricorn does not come easy although they do not often show this on the surface.  They learn about perseverance and organization through structured effort and building things that are meant to last.  They know that there is no easy route when reaching their objectives and learn patience. They understand that it takes time to reach the summit. 

 

It may take many years for a Capricornian to reach their objectives and later in life, they will finally learn to relax into life without wanting to achieve more.

 

They have a great sense of humor although rather dry.  Some can get caught up in what they refer to as their failures, and this can be humiliating and squash their ego.  Achievement is prime and they truly wish to attain status, and a life of fulfillment and recognition is important for some but not for all.  Inner recognition for their effort is more important and what comes from their effort is important but not everything.

 

Happy solar return to our Capricornian readers.  Stay tuned for our transit forecast in the next couple of days.
