The Road Less Travelled
It is incredible to realize how so many
individuals are now sharing this mystical journey and although we have been on
this route all of our lives, there are countless individuals that are now
focused on this ongoing process. We are
awakening as a group; each one of us connected with one another. We are sharing our experiences and moving in
our intentional direction. How fortunate
we are to have decided to come together during this time and experience this
life together?
We travel down this road of life not
knowing what will be around the next corner, but walk with enthusiasm and
purpose. As commented earlier, we are
spiritual beings living in a human experience through all channels available and
continually seeking to connect with our pure essence.
Perhaps we have come together as a
collective group to stir our world through living and breathing loving
consciousness into those around us through example. What a responsibility!
As we explore and begin to unfold, we will
uncover parts of our identify that are not too pleasing. This is part of the process and uncovering
these darker sides to our personality enables us to rid ourselves of these so
called demons and clear room for the true personality emerging.
It can be a challenging time but it is also
an exciting, enlightening time. As we
uncover the facets of our being bringing to light our spiritual connection we excel
the process. We consciously tune in more
frequently and see the results of our continuous pursuit. We seem to excel more rapidly--some say we
are vibrating at a higher frequency.
As we evolve in our consciousness, we
assist in the overall movement of our world in its intended direction--joining
together as a force and spiraling our world inhabitants towards their projected
path.
Love is the purpose and we cannot experience
love without first “activating it” within our being, or more accurately
“acknowledging it” as it already resides within each of us.
Keep up your great work and know that you
are constantly guided by our pure essence.
You are never alone and especially blessed when you are going through
transitional experiences and challenging times as we are truly moving forward
at these times in leaps and bounds. We
walk our own private road, but all hold hands moving ever forward in our
pursuit on the path to enlightenment.

The Opposition in Astrology
An opposition is an aspect between two
planets or significant points in the Natal chart. The opposition in a Birth chart can also be
activated through transit or progression.
An opposition is defined as two planets or significant angles (the
midheaven or the ascendant) forming an angle of 180 degrees from each other. The normal orb for an opposition to be active
in a Birth chart is 8-10 degrees + or – the 180 degrees. Therefore, if a planet is 170-190 degrees
from another planet or an important angle, it is termed an opposition.
To describe an opposition you would take
into consideration the two opposing forces described by the planets/angles as
well as the house placement where the planets are located. The house placement would define the areas of
life involved.
For example, Saturn in the third house (the
house communication) would create a difficult time for the individual to
express their views--being held back. At
the opposite end of the example, if you had Pluto in the ninth house (the house
of higher learning), Pluto acts as a disruptive force and may even lead to power
struggles or ego interference. With
these opposing forces, there may be difficulties expressing oneself due to ego
interference and a challenge to take charge or outdo others. This could revert to a power struggle and
could either surface as restrictive behaviours and a feeling of being subdued
or angered when defining oneself, or pushing yourself beyond the normally
accepted lines of communication and forcing one’s opinions on others. This could also surface as schooling issues
as the ninth house deals with higher education.
In many cases, oppositions deal with open
confrontations where one’s views or beliefs are being challenged by someone
else’s opinion. This can lead to ego
interference and clinging strongly to one’s beliefs or opinions. This individual would not lend an open mind
to hear and utilize another individual’s opinion. If for example the ninth house had Mars in
opposition to Pluto in the third this could lead to arguments or even physical
exchanges during these tumultuous confrontations.
Oppositions tend to draw attention to the
opposite area of focus. An example of
this might be if the fourth and tenth houses were in opposition through planetary
links, it may surface as an issue between spending too much energy at work or
at home and one or the other not getting its needed consideration. This individual would favour the occupation
and their earnings over the needs of the home and family. Confrontations and opposing views are often
by-products of the opposition especially when a transiting planet opposes a Natal
planet.
When we learn to work with our oppositions,
we can gain strength from these opposing views and we can mold the two together
making them work as one, rather than against each other. Within the Natal chart, an opposition can
create a war within oneself that has to be worked out and rectified. Oppositions build inner strength when you
learn to deal with the difficulty and challenges associated with the house
placement and the planetary energies.
Oppositions are considered stressful
aspects and need to be approached with gentle understanding and an openness to
learn and be open to opposing views.
Much depends on the planets involved and the houses these planets are
located in the Natal chart. When viewed
with clarity, we can gain great insight from the opposition. As we mature, we will be forces to face our
oppositions and deal with them appropriately, thereby unlocking their true
potential.

Health & Wellness
There are many born into this life with
health conditions--physical, mental or both.
Why are these individuals saddled with these conditions? It is difficult to understand the why behind
these situations.
There are those that believe it is Karma carried
forward from a past incarnation. There
are others that believe the soul has asked for these conditions to excel its
growth dealing with these challenging experiences. Whatever the reason, these individuals
deserve our compassion and respect for living under these extreme conditions in
order to achieve or live out their lives to facilitate enlightenment or
exchange.
The majority of us will experience some
type of illness throughout of lives (certainly on a much smaller scale than the
illnesses we were just speaking of). Why
do we experience these conditions and what is the purpose?
It is believed that when we are confronted
with life issues and do not deal with them appropriately, we are faced with
similar conditions again and again until we make the necessary adjustments in
our lives in order to move forward. It
is also believed that if we choose to ignore these life lessons (which are
often focused around forgiveness, letting go or making required changes), minor
illnesses or even more serious ailments will be manifested from our body’s
reaction to the mental strain we are choosing to bury.
Exterior stressful conditions in our life
are often reflections of inner turmoil. It
is important to face these issues head-on and with honestly in order to deal
with them appropriately. Often a simple change
of attitude is all that is required although there are times when something
more sweeping is needed, such as forgiveness or letting go.
You may need to offer forgiveness to others,
and at other times, you may need to offer forgiveness to self.
Letting go is often a difficult learning experience
especially after a loved one passes on.
We hold on dearly to what was and have a very challenging time letting
go. Reality can be very painful at
times, but ultimately must be acknowledged and accepted before we can move on
with our lives.
We all experience turmoil, but we must
never own it. Forgive and find love
again in these moments of sadness and despair.
It is always comforting to know that we are not alone and that countless
others have experienced similar incidents in their lives.
When we function through love, compassion
and forgiveness are often by-products.
Love is unfailing and it can be found within each of us. Love is always available, even under the most
trying of conditions. Dig deep into your
emotional reservoir and find that place of gratitude, even when faced with the
most tumultuous life conditions. These
events are stepping stones to understanding and ultimately lead us to a better
place.

Sun in Leo in Astrology
In 2014, the Sun moves into the sign of Leo
on July 23. This post will apply to
those individuals that either have their Sun sign in Leo, their Rising
(Ascendant) sign in Leo or have an emphasis in the fifth house. (The fifth house varies a little in that
although Leo rules this house some of the stronger character traits associated
with this house have to do with children, romance, creative talents and
recreational pleasure. Leo individuals can
identify with the child within when relating to children.)
As far as romance goes, in general, most
Leo individuals give everything when in love, but need a partner that they can
look up to. When it comes to creativity,
most Leo individuals have their own particular flair for creativity (as do most
signs), but especially so here as creativity is closely linked to the fifth
house. Wanting to enjoy life and partake
in recreational activities is usually a strong point with Leo people. They truly want to have fun and to enjoy themselves. This is probably one of the most spontaneous
signs of the Zodiac (as are Gemini and Aries).
Leo individuals are usually very energetic and
often have a flair for the dramatic.
They want to be the centre of attention and would really like it if
others had a good, positive opinion towards them. They enjoy being applauded and appreciate
recognition for what they do. Much of
what they do is for others and when they go out of their way to make someone
happy and do not get the recognition for their effort, they are easily hurt
although they will not show this. They
do bounce back, however, largely due to their optimistic attitude and cheerful
disposition.
They are usually very confident and quite
capable of being a leader. They are able
to delegate the workload but would just as well do it all themselves. They usually have high scale ideas and will
push to have them implemented. They are
very confident, unless something within the Birth Chart suggests otherwise, and
make loyal and constant companions. They
are ruled by their heart.
When they are cloaked with their ego, they
can become arrogant and want to rule the roost with no consideration for give
and take. They want control of all
situations and totally believe in themselves.
They can feel that no one knows better than they do. They cling stubbornly to what they think is
right and even when they are proven wrong, they may still hang on because their
ego will not let go.
When they have learned to conquer the ego,
which is a prime objective of many Leo individuals, they become very
spontaneous and warm-hearted. They are
charming individuals with big hearts and have a very cheerful and optimistic
attitude towards life. They have many
good qualities when operating from beyond the ego and are not easily hurt by
others as they understand that only the ego can be hurt.
It is said that these big-hearted
individuals are often powerfully affected by actions taken or taught in their younger
years. They hang on to what their
parents teachings from their youth. If
they were confronted regularly as a child concerning mistakes they had made, they
can mature into individuals who do not believe in themselves as much as they
should.
Parents of Leo children must watch for
these children becoming overly bossy. It
is also important for the parent of Leo children to shower them with praise
especially when very young. It is
important to correct these children when they make mistakes but not to linger
on any particular failures.

Being There for Your Family & Friends
It can be very heartbreaking when family
members are experiencing stressful times.
Gentle assistance or a soft touch is just what is required and can help
them during these trying times. We all
go through difficulties and experience them in our own manner. We learn to adjust and make changes to our
life so we can help alleviate the pressure from life’s sometimes stormy
conditions.
Through life’s events, we learn
understanding and can offer assistance to others in their times of need. As life progresses, we become proficient at
handling many of life’s events and can be relied on to come up with solutions
that have been overlooked by our companions.
Some people become very wrapped up in their personal situations, so much
so that they become blind to solutions.
Sometimes the answer is right in front of them, but they simply do not
see it.
Is it now during these times that we should
step up to assist them in their plight?
Would you not appreciate any loving assistance during times of struggle? Agreeable, however, there are times when each
of us needs to find resolution within and our loving advice might blur their
intended lesson. We must know the
signals and read between the lines to understand when it is time to back off
and give them their learning space.
During excessive strain, it is often best
to provide them with some breathing room so they can come to terms with the
issue and make the adjustments necessary.
We all have the answers available and sometimes we can find these
answers within and sometimes we become lost in the confusion and need others to
show us the direction to get back on track.
A shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen
will never go amiss.
We all have our trying times. If needed, the right person always comes
along at just the right moment to offer support when it is really needed. You never know when you will be that person.
