Working Towards a Better Future

As we gain momentum in our lives and push towards our goals, we will be required to review our life from time to time.  During these moments, it is important to pay particular attention to our direction in life and by what means we are achieving our desired objectives.  Are we moving ahead with our aspirations with a clear plan for the future?  Are we making decisive plans to reach these intentions or are we allowing ourselves to be at the mercy of life’s directives?

 

After reviewing our current route in life, it will be apparent that we are always on course, even if we are questioning this fact.  All life events are meant to be, and we are never really off track with our eventual destiny.  We are constantly making little adjustments along our road of life and addressing these conditions, often without even being aware of the changes we are making.  Often these changes or mental adjustments are done on a subconscious level.

 

The course is set and we are on target.  We certainly will experience twists and turns along the way, but this is our life and we learn from these experiences.  We are here to learn about life’s choices and to make plans that will alter our consciousness and push us towards a more “whole” approach to life.  All these things that we consider as stumbling blocks actually enhance life’s opportunities.  Life is like an electrical current always moving along the set course.  Yes, we can shut off the switch, but in the off position the current still waits to be released and can “in a flick of a switch” continue on its course.

 

Your objective view on life and current mind frame possess future potentialities.  You mold the future by belief structures and expectations.  You can choose the path that contains many hurdles (and lessons hard learned) or you can choose the path of least resistance through acceptance.  We all learn in our own way and through our own methods.  We will subconsciously choose our best learning methods.

 

You can find peace.  It already resides within.  Accept and release it.  Everything you need is not only attainable but already exists, and this is apparent upon reflection.  Your life is in your hands.  You mold your reality.  You are in control.  Move forward with this in mind and seek out all that is relevant to the ongoing, unfolding story of your life.

Mercury Retrograde from October 4 to October 24, 2014 in Astrology

Mercury goes retrograde (appears to be moving backwards) three to four times each year.  Mercury went retrograde on October 4 and will remain in retrograde until the 25^th.  It moves through the sign of Scorpio and then back to Libra. 

 

Mercury retrograde will affect people who have Mercury retrograde in their birth charts more than those who have it direct in their birth charts.  As it moves through your horoscope make note of the house it is in.  Check to see if it conjuncts any planet or angles during its motion.  The sign it is in during this time will be reflective of mental adjustments aligned with the same sign in your natal chart.  It may also affect the area of life dictated by the house position.  Review your Mercury’s placement in your natal chart, its house position and any aspects to it.  Much of what your natal chart suggests will be the areas that are affected by Mercury’s current transit.

 

Contrary to much of the current hype circulating, Mercury retrograde is not a huge life-changing event. However, it deserves mention due to the fact that Mercury is associated with the workings of the mind.  As Mercury begins to slow down (or at least appear to slow down), some individuals experience a slowing down in daily affairs which provide an opportunity to reflect and contemplate life and its events.  It is considered a chance to go over old material that you may have ignored or left buried.  You may review decisions or make decisions although quite often the best laid plans go astray during the retrograde motion.  It is best to wait until Mercury has completed its retrograde cycle and then move forward in the intended direction.  The chances for success and for things working out after Mercury goes direct are greater.

 

Remains flexible during times of Mercury retrograde and avoid signing any agreements or written documents if possible as there is a better success rate after retrograde motion is finalized.  This is not to say that you should never make plans or sign documents if need be as often times if Mercury is not making contacts with natal planets or is not poorly aspected in the birth chart that life will remain relatively tame and there will be little interferes with plans. 

 

This is a time of self-study, a time to reflect on who you are and what steps you might take to improve the self.  During this time period, individuals experience something from the past that returns or alternatively, perhaps a lesson not well learned or a concept that may have failed due to some shortcoming will resurface.  You may have the opportunity to make alternate plans or changes and correct judgement calls or errant turns when Mercury returns to direct in motion after October 24.

 

People and personal ideas are often the key to moving ahead in the proper direction.  Some experience insights on alternate levels that propel them forward in a new direction.  In most cases, (unless highly afflicted in the natal chart and afflicted in the transit through connection with planets or angles) this is not a time to be overly concerned as very little may actually happen. 

 

Use this time to activate your mental process as this will be stimulated and you may discover ways to improve your relationships with others, especially during the time when Mercury is in the sign of Libra, around October 11 and especially after it moves direct again from October 25 to November 9 at which time it will move into the sign of Scorpio.

Thank you

We would like to send out a special thanks to all of you who participated in our second Semi-annual Focus on Inner & World Peace on September 26, 27 & 28.  With our jointed efforts, we have sent out a clear energy message of our concerns for self and for all of our brothers and sisters of this world through our own particular expression.  Thank you for all of your intentions and work towards fostering a better place for each of us to live both inside and out.

 

It is hard to say how the ripple effect has impacted the lives of those that we have touched, but suffice to say that our intention was genuine and came from a place of love.  As we sends out these rays of hope, love and positive intentions, these wonderful expressions returned to us.  Remember, today we are the seeds of tomorrow’s fruit.  Our reality consists of our thoughts, expressions and intentions.  Live, breathe and be the change that you meditated and/or prayed for.  Live, breathe and be the love that “is” on a constant basis in our lives. 

 

It is Holm Astrology’s firm commitment through our focus and writings to continue to send out messages of love and compassion into our world and to spark self reflection.

 

Again, thank you everyone for joining us to promote inner and world peace.  Please keep these great intentions flowing.

Psychic Abilities

We are all born with psychic potential.  Each of us possesses our own innate abilities.  As we mature and go through puberty, many of these inborn traits have been pushed aside due to our childhood conditioning.  Most people, in general, look at these abilities as being odd or that they make us different from the norm.  Unfortunately, many of us feel it is necessary to try to fit in with the crowd and bury or hide our individuality.

 

By the time we reach early adulthood, many of these psychic enhancements have been pushed aside or buried and lie dormant within us.  For most, their focus is only on the material necessities of life and this part of their awareness is restricted to subconscious awareness.  Deep down inside we realize that in some way we are unique yet in reality, we are all quite similar.  We are far less unique then we may want to admit for we are all connected. 

 

There are some and they are usually in the minority that understand that these psychic tools we are born with can remain intact on a conscious level and there are others that later in life choose to redevelop this potential.....the awakening process.

 

Allow your true self to grow.  Use your gifts to move you in your intended direction.  Share your gifts lovingly and appreciation them.  Be thankful even for the challenges they may create for these challenges serve only to make you stronger.

Progressed Moon Conjunct the Ascendant in Astrology

The Progressed Moon is often used as a timer and often propels transits into action.  The Progressed Moon alone without transits’ influence governs such things as the emotions, property and security matters.  It is often associated with women in your life, such as your mother, grandmother or aunt.  It often relates to young women who already have children.  It also activates other progressed planets in the same fashion as it facilitates action in transiting planets.

 

The Progressed Moon moves one degree per month and will stay in a sign for approximately 2 ½ years.  It will carry the traits associated with that sign for that whole period.  The Progressed Moon can stay in a house for a very long time depending on the size of the house concerned.  It will also carry the tendencies related to the house in question and the area of life the house represents.  When the Progressed Moon moves from one sign to the next or from one house to the next, a shift occurs that is often quite noticeable.

 

When the Progressed Moon crosses over the Ascendant (and this along with the MC is a very sensitive point in the chart), it is often a time of many changes in your life.  These changes often relate to family members, important relationships and particularly to women in your life.  There may also be changes to your career especially when it crosses the MC.  Quite often changes within the home front occur when the Progressed Moon links up with the fourth house cusp or the ruler of the fourth house.

 

Many things in life become more sensitive when the Progressed Moon passes over the Ascendant and in most cases, others are aware of these transformations taking place as the Ascendant is not a very private area of life.  The emotions are strong and on the surface for the world to see.  Depending on other aspects to this placement, these could come from positive or negative influences in your life.

 

When the Progressed Moon is in the twelfth house, many aspects of your life may have been hidden or kept secret and now when it moves over the Ascendant these issues may surface.  It is very difficult to keep things hidden from public knowledge although you may not mind exposing them.  People become more upfront and open to dialogue when the Moon moves across this sensitive point, although much depends on the sign on the cusp.  Some signs are much more private than other signs.

 

This is often a time when you can get things off your chest that has been emotionally draining or restrictive in some way.  The best approach to this would be to face any emotional issue up front and deal with it accordingly.  You may have opportunities to release any pent up emotion that has been left on the back burner.  Depending on the other aspects that are influential during this period, any release might come into the open in rather dramatic ways.  

 

Find out how the Progressed Moon is affecting your life by having a closer look at its positioning in your chart along with any other transits or progressions that are affecting various areas of life.  Get an astrologic perception of how best to deal with the conditions brought on by your current transits and progression.

Our Inner & World Affairs

It can be disheartening when you hear via news the state of our world.   “Chaotic” best describes the conditions our fellow brothers and sisters seem to find themselves in.  There are those that live under unruly conditions, fearing for their lives and struggling to exist just another day.  During transitional periods, the darkest hour is often just before the dawn.

 

We are all feeling a shift taking place in our world and if you delve deep enough are we not all also experiencing a shift deep down within?  Many believe that the signs are suggesting that the human race must choose in which direction to turn, whether this is towards materialism or spirituality.  How long have you been aware of this feeling?

 

If the door has been opened, it is next to impossible to avoid what lies ahead.  It does not take long to realize that material abundance only brings contentment for a fleeting moment; however, it can be yours if this is your desire.  Wealth is not necessarily a bad thing but its rewards are temporary and offer little in the way of true growth.

 

It is not necessary to let go of earthly comforts, but it is best to not make it your most important focus.  Letting go is often the best way to find material security, although it is a difficult thing to do.  Let go and let God, (or the source or your pure essence or whomever or whatever you relate to take care of things), is the saying.  How appropriate this is.  If you trust in the powers that be to provide you with whatever you need and understand that this is what always takes place, contentment is yours.

 

Spirituality, whatever this might be for you, is the zenith.   Trust in the powers that be to push you in the direction that you need to move.  Let go and you will see that it is right in front of you.  This is where it has been all along.  It has never been out of sight.  We simply just had to open our eyes.

 

We live in this material world but have many connections to the spiritual world.  We need to be aware of where to place our intensions and accept that life unfolds in its own due time.  We are on course and always have been, although along the road there were some roadblocks and swerves but these are lessons well learned. 

 

We are still on our chosen course.   If we are on our chosen paths then undoubtedly the world is also on its true course.  Through our prayers and meditation practice, however, we can help lift its vibrational impulse.

 

We are the generator behind our races’ movement.  What we do in our lives affects everyone on one level or another.  The ripple effect that we have often explored is a prime example of this effect.  We can help maneuver our world, by being the force behind that ripple effect.  Share the love that lives within.  Spread joy in your daily activities.  It begins with you.  You create the ripple effect.   Why not do what is in your power.
