Understand Your Fundamental Nature through Astrology

We can so frequently get caught up in the stories and in the drama that surround us that we lose sight of who we are and the path we are travelling. Move beyond these story and remind yourself of your fundamental essence and nature.

The Gift of Giving

As we venture forth in our life’s journey discovering our lost or forgotten pieces to the puzzle, what will prevail when you take time to reflect?  What will your quest reveal?  How will you manifest your dreams?  What are your significant dreams not only yourself but for the world at large? 

You may ask, “What can I do to make significant changes in this world?”  “I am just one person.”  “How can I as an individual help maneuver our world in such a way that we will all gain from my efforts?”

These are earnest questions and often we will find ourselves asking them as we feel helpless and look for answers. 

Most of us go to great depths to search for clues that will help define our individual purpose.  We hope that some piece of the puzzle that we discover will perhaps shed new light on our purposes and abilities, but we resolve that until then we sit and wait for direction to facilitate this purpose.  Many individuals earnestly think that the transformation has to be grand and take place on a global scale.

It is clear that our world financial system does not work.  The stock markets are volatility and many worry about our finances.  A great number of people live on so very little and struggle to get by and to obtain the bare essentials.  Some are fighting for their lives, but to most of us, this struggle and fight does not seem real.  We live within the comforts of our homes and most of us have the option to eat at least a couple of nutritious meals a day.  It is difficult to comprehend the horrendous state some people live in.  We must be truly grateful and count our blessings on how good we actually have it.

Did you know that the average wage earner in the world is just shy of $18,000/year?  If we take the total income earned in the world and divide this total income by the total number of people in the world, the average income is just under $10,000 per person per year accordingly to a BBC new report.  Compare your annual income to these figures?

We DO live a privileged life, and yes we do experience upheavals from time to time.  Overall, however, we are blessed and very fortunate to live under the conditions that most of us take for granted. 

How can we be of service to those less fortunately than us?  What can we do? 

We can offer assistance through many of the world organizations.  We can help right here and give to our local food banks.  We can share our time with seniors and those who are lonely.  We can share a gentle smile or provide a helping hand to anyone that would benefit from our help. 

You may think to yourself well these are small steps.  These steps may seem that way, but working together these steps can manifest into states of wellness, happiness and thankfulness, and these are all attributes that each and every one of us can benefit from.

The importance of our actions is not based on the material value of what you do.  It is the emotion and survival value that should be of importance.  It matters that we share, care and love throughout each and every day that we are blessed to experience this earthly encounter.  We can all manifest these attributes; they are within our potential. 

We all need a starting point.  Will you start today?  Who knows what ripple affect your giving, your loving concern and/or your compassionate voice will have on someone in need.  Share your blessings and do it from your heart. 

Do not waste this life waiting and looking for your purpose.  Live your life and help to facilitate change.  Begin in your own back yard which will ripple and eventually reach outward touching many in our world. 

Be the change that you would like to see in this world.  Your efforts will be fruitful and in turn, you too will reap the rewards.

Capricorn in Astrology

On December the 22^nd, the Sun moves into the sign of Capricorn.  Those with this Sun placement, those with the rising sign in Capricorn and those with a strong emphasis of planets in the tenth house will find that many of the characteristics touched on today will resonate with them. 

The Sun sign is our foundation and reveals itself on many levels, but primarily through the inner self.

Those with a strong emphasis in the sign of Capricorn have a difficult time revealing their emotions.  This is not to say that their emotional makeup is less than any other sign, only that much of what they feel remains contained within and is only released when and if it feels appropriate to do so.  This does not happen frequently.  Their emotions run deep and they feel things on an intense level, but to those around them, they appear to have their emotions in check and offer little of their emotions externally to others.  They are contained and reserved with their emotional expression and prefer it this way, probably due to the intensity of their emotions.

Most Capricorn individuals are professional in their outward expression.  They appear to have their proverbial heads on straight and can generally be relied on to present themselves to the outside world as informed and knowledgeable, particularly in their chosen fields.  Many have strong drive when it comes to achieving their objectives and are willing to work hard to move up the corporate ladder.  They instinctively understand that everything takes time, due to the influence of their planetary ruler, Saturn.  They realize that by using an approach that could be defined as one step at a time, they will gradually make their way in life.  They also understand that this approach leads to less mistakes and they will not miss any steps along the way.  Being well informed and not just appearing to have the knowhow is very important to them.  They want to be relied on to make the proper decisions based on experience and knowledge.

When it comes to love, the seventh house should be taken into account as this describes the potential significant other that they would be attracted to; however, in general these people are looking for a knowledgeable individual, one who can be relied on and is consistent.  They will not do well within a flighty partnership as there is a need for stability as well as commitment within the framework of a structured marriage.  If they find someone with these criteria and also has a great sense of humour, which will inadvertently help them relax a little and enjoy life, they would feel as though they have attracted the perfect partner.

There are often deeply ingrained spiritual or religious ingredients in their personality.  They are religious in their own sense although this does not indicate that they will be attracted to traditional religion although this is possible, because of the nature of Saturn.  Tradition is important as it has been tried, tested and holds some truth to it.  They will not just follow along blindly within cults or religious organizations as they have to understand the religion’s concepts and be comfortable with its teachings.

As a friend, Capricorn individuals are very reliable and usually true to their word.  They rarely miss appointments and are on time and constant.  If they say we will meet at such and such a time, they will be there probably even a little early.  If you are late or are a no-show, it will not sit well with them.

These characteristics will be interlinked with the many other attributes found within the birth chart, but in general, the above characteristics describes the inner personality of most Capricorn individuals.  It is important to remember that we are far more complex than just our Sun signs.

Treating Others as Your Equal

As we proceed on our ongoing life’s quest, we will meet other individuals that walk a different path than the one we walk.  Some individuals are here to completely focus on this material world.  Other individuals have their feet in two different worlds, living within the material confines of life but also living with a different approach quite separate from this material existence.  There are others that have mastered the ability to live seeing through the veil of the material world and walking this earth with as full an understanding of our eternal life as humanly possible.

Some individuals become fixated on everyday drama, some are lost in confusion and some are just searching as they have stifled the concept that their focus and attitude impacts all that surrounds them. 

It is important to live in the moment – the now.  It is important to understand that our reaction to life’s events and our reaction to those that share this existence with us are completely within our control.  Our focus simply magnifies and gives extreme importance to that which we are focused on.

For some individuals, they feel lost.  They suffer mental anguish and confusion.  These individuals have become overwhelmed by what they perceive as life’s drama and their current conditions.  Their focus in life causes them to experience great difficulty in finding their way back to their true selves.  Because of their beliefs, their focus and their fixed mindset, there is no chance of their regaining control without change.  Unfortunately, they drift aimlessly through life oblivious to all that they have to be grateful for.

There are many others individuals with their own stories (too many to mention), however, the ventures of each and every one of us are all joined and weaved together creating the fabric of our consciousness.   We each, individually, walk our own path but together these paths create a highway we traverse together in this moment in time.  Each one of us is an eternal soul living an earthly existence without exceptions.  We are all brothers and sisters regardless of religious beliefs, skin colour or ethnic backgrounds.  We are all part of the whole.

We are all equal.  Each one of us offers a unique talent or gift. Should we not celebrate our similarities and respect our differences?  Release the ego’s need to be segregated and to be superior in some manner. 

We are one—each part of the whole.  Some of us take the direct route; others meander slowly towards our single destination, and then there are others who are standing still waiting for directions as they have lost sight of this destination. 

Allow your inner light to shine and guide those that could use a helping hand through example.  A loving gesture, as simple as a smile or a gentle word, can shed the required light to help these individuals along their path. 

Albert Einstein said “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”  Accordingly, everyone’s soul will end up at the same destination, but if you judge others by the different route that they are taking, they will believe that they are alone and if they come upon an obstacle, and they will never expect to reach their destination.

The Grand Trine in Astrology

The Grand Trine is a relatively common configuration.  It is divided into elements, Water, Fire, Air and Earth.  The Grand Trine consists of three planets or significant points (Midheaven, Ascendant) all linked together in trine to one another, separated each by 120 degrees.  You can allow an orb of 8 degrees when determining if the trines form part of the Grand Trine configuration.  For example, you have the Sun at 20 degrees Cancer, the Moon at 16 degrees Scorpio and the Ascendant at 23 degrees Pisces.  This would be considered a Grand Water Trine.

The strength of influence is increased the closer these trines are to being direct.  For example, if all these planets and points are within 1-3 degrees in separation, the trine has a stronger influence in the life of the individual concerned.  The weakening of a Grand Trine happens when one of the planets or points is in a different element than the other two, for example the Sun in Cancer, the Moon in Scorpio and the rising sign being in Aries.  These configurations make a triangle in the portrait of the birth time captured at moment of birth but only two are in water signs and the remaining is in fire.

The positive influences of the Grand Trine include free energy flow which in turn assists the individual in gaining benefits.  Inherent good luck seems to follow these individuals, particularly when the Grand Trine is activated through transit or progression.  They seem to have more prospects than most others and attract good fortune and opportunities into their lives easily in areas related to the element the Grand Trine is in.  For example a person with a tight Grand Earth Trine (especially if it connected to the Midheaven or Ascendant and Venus or Jupiter) will have more opportunities to move ahead in their life’s endeavours related to finances, business and occupation.

Grand Trines, however, also have negative connotation to them because the energies flow so well that the individual can lose their push or motivation.  They become lazy or they refuse to take on challenges that enter into their lives.  Some become trapped in self-sufficiency which is also suggested by the Grand Trine, either working for you or against you.  Those individuals that are not using these energies become stuck and often feel as though they are not going anywhere in life.  Some become so self-sufficient, (for example someone with a Grand Water Trine has such a strong emotional foundation that even when confronted with emotional trauma will not reach out for assistance from others) can become overrun with their own emotions and have great difficulty moving beyond any trauma that may appear in life.  Some become closed in the element the Grand Trine is located and become, as Astrologer Noel Tyl refers to, “Closed circuits of self-sufficiency.”

People with Grand Trines are very motivated in the element that the Trine is in, but when confronted with life’s difficulties, they often are not comfortable with these issues and have difficulties with them.  Grand Trines work very well most of the time and when a challenging condition comes their way, they are not used to this type of energy, (unless they have many challenging aspects within their birth chart) and are not sure how to handle this energy accordingly.

When deciphering the Grand Trine within the framework of a natal chart, you will have to take into consideration which element it is in and also the planets and houses affiliated with this energy.  Often one of the Planets in the configuration is linked strongly to another planet in the configuration by aspect, especially by square or opposition that particular planet will be the motivating factor behind this Grand Trine.  This often becomes the pivotal point of expression and can be used as an inspiring point which imitates the source of action to the Grand Trine and the area of life it resonates with.

Forever Young

Take a close look at the young and innocent people around you.  Pay attention to what they are conveying to you in their eyes and pay particular attention to their reaction to you when you become face to face with them.  Their reactions will define how you reveal your sensitivities in the world around you.  They are mostly untouched by human conditioning and what you see is genuine. 

Their approach to life is found in the moment.  There is no concern for what comes next and the past has no place in their lives other than a lesson learned.  I am speaking of the very young, not newborn but those that are beginning to learn how to focus in the here and now.  When they see you often their reaction is one of joy and love.  There is something very gentle and loving about the way they look at you. 

With most younger children, we get the feeling that there is much wisdom within, as if they are deep souls and have been in touch with something far beyond that of this material world.

They are unscathed and untouched by material world intervention and simply live from one moment to the next with no concern about where they are heading.  They are in total acceptance of the life force that radiates within and around them.  They have complete and total acceptance of life without question. 

Some may call this innocence and naivety, but for a moment imagine how much worry and anxiety would be removed from life if we viewed our lives as a child through complete acceptance.  Imagine letting go of the need to control and having faith that all of our needs will be met.

Under normal circumstances, children believe in their parents.  Most young children hold their parents up on a pedestal, because there is no need for them to analyse life or its events.  They simply see the best and even when they receive discipline, they accept their fate and take life as it comes.  In general they forgive what we might consider injustice for they do not have to judge.  They are open minded, accept and are always ready to learn.  They know that their needs are being met and generally ask for very little accept your unconditional love.

As parents, most of us genuinely try our best to meet their needs and often put their needs ahead of our own.  We also love them unconditionally and always have their best interests in mind. 

How wonderful would be if we had a guardian angel or guide (parent) that looked after us and always had our best interests at heart?  Imagine yourself having this protection, this guidance... a force that is always working on your behalf; always.

Should we not become like children once again and become open to the understanding that life is moving as it should and we are always being guided and protected?  Even in the face of adversity we are following our path and receiving valuable information in the process.  Life does provide some challenges from time to time, but these challenging or limiting conditions do not take away our life.  They are in place to teach us valuable lessons that we can take with us on our road of life.  These lessons are part of our life.

Letting go does not mean that we stop trying or that we are standing still, but it does imply that we are in a place where we will learn the lessons that life offers, regardless of our intent.  We are just as on path now as we were when young.  We are ever changing in our perspectives, but still on path.  Have faith that your life will mold you into the individual that accepts others even without understanding their path, that helps without expecting anything in return, that sets that example for those around you simply by being the example that others need to help them see your reflection within themselves. 

Stay young in your approach to life.  Believe that your needs are being met, that you are on target and that you are safely protected by your higher self and those guides that mimic your concept of a good parent.
