REKINDLING OLD FRIENDSHIPS

It is quite amazing when an old friend from your past surprises you by dropping in for a visit, calling you or sending you an unexpected message.  Old acquaintances have a special bond.  Not only are they from a time long since passed, but they shared special moments that few in the present are aware of.

It is similar to taking a walk down an old country road where there is no traffic.  The trees and foliage are untouched by the present day world.  It is a page from the past brought back to life; rekindling an old feeling of comfort and a sense of joy.

If you are lucky enough to have someone come back into your life or if someone is lucky enough to have you back in their life, do not pass this special moment by and allow it slip to the wayside.  Seize the moment to reawaken that old feeling and to share the memories.  Resume that old friendship that always picks up right where it was left off.

It does not matter how long you go between meetings.  The old feelings for a special friendship never fade away.  This is the magnificence of a special relationship.  There are always those special moments in time frozen in our memories waiting to be reactivated anytime, anywhere and at a moment’s notice.  Indeed, special are the words and understandings forged and shared.

In retrospect, life seems to shoot by at an incomprehensible speed.  Grasp each moment as it presents itself.  Do not waste your time on things that are not important.  Enjoy and grow from your life’s experiences.  Sometimes, it is refreshing to sit with an old familiar friend to review the wonders of life.

What would it take to pick up the phone and dial a number from the past? 

Who would you like to sit and reminisce with?  What are you waiting for?

Transits of Saturn in Astrology

When Saturn moves through the Natal Chart and makes its way through the houses or contacts Natal planets, its influence is usually very significant.  Saturn’s location through transit in the houses flushes out matters represented by the house it is in.  As houses pertain to areas of life, Saturn through a house is suggestive of areas of life that are now being tested and scrutinized.  Any planetary bodies located within these houses will be impacted and the energies and definition of these planets become challenged and will require your attention.

When Saturn becomes activated in a Natal Chart, by moving within orb (usually about 5 degrees), its influence becomes apparent, but most view it as an outward force that is basically in control of current life’s issues.  Quite often Saturn will operate on levels that are considered not pleasant, uncomfortable or challenging.  Sometimes depending on the natal position of Saturn and its aspects, this can be diluted somewhat, but its force draws attention to life’s issues that require your attention.

There is a fated quality to life when Saturn is strongly influencing your life, but on a deep level, your life is programmed through your own interaction and outlook.  Saturn will make you take a second look at your life and its complexities and force you to make changes that, on some level, are required.  Your universe responds to your attitude and belief structure and when Saturn moves into an area of life that needs some adjustments, it challenges your attitude and belief structure which in turn pushes you to make changes that down the road will enhance your overall experience of life.  They are necessary changes that you need to make and if by chance you try to ignore this calling, Saturn can be quite disruptive and will promote change on more intense levels.

Saturn is known as the teacher, the disciplinarian but if you move within its energies and follow through on the inner instructions that are taking place, the rewards far outweigh any challenges that push you to do what must be done.

A quick example of this might be that Saturn is making a conjunction to your Natal Sun in the first house.  The sign placement of your Sun must also be determined for further evaluation, and you would have to look for flaws within that particular Sun Sign as some of these characteristics may be part of the necessary changes.  Saturn would then be forcing you to take a closer look at who you are and how you express these characteristics in an outward fashion.  This would include your manner of communication, the way you appear and how you present yourself to the world at large as well as deeper ingrained character traits of the Sun sign.  If changes were required and under most conditions this would be the case, then Saturn would present obstacles or obstructions in the way and cause you to view yourself objectively.  It is important to remember under this condition that often the traits and characteristics you dislike or notice in others are reflections of what takes place internally.  You may need to review any negative feedback you pick up and see if these qualities are also in you.

Through the positive use of the Astrology tools, we can assimilate and ascertain what is transpiring in your life during these moments when life challenges you to make changes or come to terms with everyday experience.  Looking at Saturn as well as all of the other transiting planets, we can come to viable conclusions and view our life’s directions.  We can make the necessary changes that will help to elevate us and move us forward in our life’s quest.

Soul Mate

Do you believe that you have found the perfect companion and lifelong mate to accompany you in your adventure during this life?  Does the union itself seem fated or was your original meeting fated in some way?  Was it by chance that you just happened to meet or was it planned long ago by two souls that have been together countless times before?

Sometimes you just have a feeling when meeting someone, the feeling that you have known each other before, or that there is something familiar or very comfortable when you are in each other’s company.  This is not by chance and often gut feelings are very accurate--that familiar level of ease in conversation, that feeling that you know each other on a different level.  They are accurate conceptions, and you should not pass them by.

Life is a mystery to most people, and we have come together to serve a purpose.  The union is strengthened and we grow closer as time passes when we share our sentiments with one another.  Do you find that you can talk to your partner on your own terms?  Can you be intimate and confide deep secrets knowing that you will not be judged?  These are indicators that you have probably been together before in a previous incarnation and have now chosen to join together once again and share your entwined destinies.

If you find that life is not smooth with the one you share your life with, does that mean that you are meant to be together?  Life is never smooth and as long as no one remains indifferent to what takes place and accepts some of the blame, then perhaps you had previous unions.  This is not to say that any type of physically or mental harm is acceptable – intentional or not.

Compassion is a lesson well learned in this life and we share our indifferences and make amendments along the way to further our commitment to one another.  You may have found that one essential soul mate and you may be meant to share this life and to learn from one another.  Unfortunately, sometimes these events shared even with the most perfect person are not easy to accept.  But a lesson well learned can become ingrained knowledge and growth spurts under such circumstances are never by chance.

Hold hands tightly and walk this road of life as one.  Life is short and one should always remember this.  Live each day within your bounds together.   Love forever and share your life completely with your soul mate.  Continue to grow spirituality together.

Astrological Composite Chart

The composite chart is a chart drawn up for two individuals that are interested in how they would interact as a couple, either through a romantic relationship or business partnership.  This Chart can also be used to determine the relationship between any two individuals, such as parent and child or to determine friendship potential between two individuals.

The Chart is prepared from the Birth chart of the two individuals and the midpoint between each planetary placement as well as the midpoint between the Ascendant and Midheaven.  An example of this would be someone having their Sun in Capricorn at 15 degrees and the other individual having their Sun at 25 degrees Aquarius.  There are forty degrees between the two solar locations and dividing this in half, you would come up with 20 degrees.  This would make the midpoint 5 degrees Aquarius.  You would include the minutes as well as the degrees to come up with a midpoint system.  This is completed for all the planets, the Moon’s midpoint, Mercury’s, etc. as well as the Ascendant’s and Midheaven’s midpoints.  Most astrological sites will provide you with this Chart as long as you have the correct birth times for each individual involved.

Upon completion, you now have one chart which could be used as an auxiliary Natal Chart.  This Chart describes the union of these two individuals involved.  This Chart describes their assets and the challenges that are now apparent within the relationship.  It describes how the two interact as a couple internally as well as on an external level.  Much can now be defined as to the overall condition of the relationship and its apparent attributes and how the two will mingle and interact as a unit.

Many individuals commission this Chart when beginning a meaningful relationship or starting a business.  It provides a comprehensive outlook at the overall compatibility between these individual and if there are deficiencies within the union.  There are always strengths and weaknesses apparent within all horoscopes, and this Chart defines the particulars that if applied in a unified and appropriate fashion can promote a lasting and opportunistic union that so many individuals seek.

Although this Chart is very descriptive and definitive, as always, one has free will.  If both parties are willing to make compromises within the union, the chances for survival and longevity for the relationship are greater than if one of the parties decides not to function on a level that the relationship needs to survive.  This Chart will identify such shortcomings and apparent roadblocks that will require work during the formation and maintenance of any meaningful relationship.  The Composite Chart also offers potential solutions for shortfalls within the union that once recognized can be faced head-on and challenged; again if both parties are willing to make adjustments for the betterment of the whole.

Some relationships seems to have all the ingredients for a long and loving partnership or prosperous venture, while others seem to present the individuals with obstacles and challenges that will require appropriate action in order for potential growth for both parties involved.

Investigate the potential between any two Charts and find out how they meld with each other.  Gain insight to assist in alleviating or activating potential that will enhance the relationship and produce the greatest possible results.

Connection to Self

Our connection with Spirit is a knot that cannot be untied.  This union has a special interaction through our consciousness that never ceases to exist.  The association runs deep and the connection slowly assists us in unfolding the underlying story of our unique incarnation in this life.  Our unity with the highest spirit of all, one and indivisible, can never be undone.  It is characteristic of timelessness and infinity.  This is the core of our identity.

Never underestimate your power over you as a whole.  This realization alone provides unlimited opportunity for self-discovery and the re-awakening of our true self.  You are here as an exceptional expression of the whole, unique unto yourself yet adjoined with the whole.  There is an undeniable purpose behind your incarnation, and you have come into this life with a specific purpose specific to you alone.  No one individual has the exact same message and the greatest gift you can share is your own unique individualization spoken through truth on the highest level.

Spirit is purity without any type of congestion.  Compassion and love is true spirit in action.  You have that connection.  You are part of that responsive and you always posses each and every quality that you long to have.  You are love and an object of creativity linked with creativity itself.  You are an open book, with revelations waiting for release.  There are no real blocks but you.  You can become the avenue of expression by letting go and viewing yourself with true vision.

Your latent qualities are waiting for you to awaken them.  Their purpose is to align with who you are and make you whole.  Relinquish your stronghold on who you “think” you are and be who you truly are.  Your pure essence is calling you.  Your eternal union with the creator waits for your acceptance and your agreement to allow your own awakening.

Separation

Are you recently separated or are you contemplating making a change in your matrimonial status.  All relationships have their benefits and their struggles but each of your relationships are worthy of further consideration.  In many cases, the complications that hinder the relationship can be solved through communication, but these complicated issues must be approached from all sides.  Both parties must have equal rights when it comes to expressing their concerns and choices, and both parties must be willing to sit down and discuss all issues.

There are periods in all relationships where working out solutions is a necessary ingredient for the relationship’s longevity and survival.  Both parties should be willing to make changes.  A relationship is give and taken.  It is imperative to realize, if the relationship is worth saving, that acceptance of the other and their ways, good or bad, is necessary.  We cannot “expect” others to change for us.  We accept them for who they are. 

First, and always foremost, examine what you can do to make the connect function more smooth.  If both parties are willing to look at alternatives and make changes to themselves and to restore harmony, the relationship will have the potential to reach new heights now and in times to come.

On the other hand, if one or both individuals are not willing to make the required changes to restore the relationship and promote potential growth, then perhaps it is best that both individuals mutually decide to go their separate ways.  There is always a resolution and if the terms are not acceptable, it is impossible to resolve the differences.  To live life frustrated or stifled, only hinders personal growth and future potential.  Before making this permanent leap, be sure that you have earnestly pursued every available avenue to preserve your relationship.

 

Change can be difficult and frightening regardless of what the changes may be.  If alterations are required in your life style, internal changes also need to take place.  Expose the causes to the problems associated with this relationship and be sure that you do not move into the next phase of life without making those required changes.  Without taking some responsibility, undoubtedly the same issues will present themselves again and again.  The next presentation may be on a different level but it will undoubtedly be far more severe and the ramifications will far outweigh any previous experience.

If the time has come to move in a new direction with your life with or without your current partner, move into your life’s next chapter with the knowledge and willingness to learn from previous circumstances.  Move forward with confidence of self and with knowledge of lessons well learned.  Let go of resentment, as it harbours only negativity in your life.  A new chapter is on the horizon for everyone and there are always opportunities for growth and a chance to instill love into your life.  Accept this.  Life is always ready to lift you up and away from all of your anxiety.  The next phase of your life is only a step away.
