Astrology does not dictate your life but it certainly shows you the path of least resistance.
Explore your potentials and apply your natural abilities.
As an intuitive Astrologer, I love to share my astrological knowledge acquired over years of study and hands on chart preparation. I believe that in order to experience growth along our earthly journey that spirituality should be blended into our daily living. As a result, I also share my "Food for Thought" writings which are inspirationally received. "You can accomplish anything in life if armed with the right attitude & tools. My wish is to provide a useful tool."

Your Moment
How is life lately? How do you feel about it? What course of action are you contemplating? Do you find the pace of life
overwhelming? Are you finding it
difficult to stop just for a moment and enjoy?
Most of us have busy lives. Some of
us allow the pace of life to overwhelm us but no matter how much you
participate in, it does not have to be stressful.
Due to our attitude Life can sometimes feel
as though events are a burden. We are
busy and it seems next to impossible to find the time for ourselves, not even a
brief moment.
What life changing event would you not be
able to accomplish if you were to stop and experience the moment? Would it not be a recharge for mind, body and
soul to stop for even one minute to focus simply on that moment? You can sit down and enjoy a moment of rest. It feels wonderful to stop and relax our
tired muscles, but the stress will not dissipate if you do not also stop our
mind. It too can be considered a tired
muscle.
Contemplating what needs to be done next
only enhances the stress and offers no peace.
Stop for a brief moment today regardless of
where you are. Stop the mind from
thinking about what is next. Take as
long as it takes to quiet the mind and a couple moments longer if
possible. You will notice a calm that
slowly surfaces. You will be relaxed and
will shed that stress created from the rush of life.
As mentioned, it does not need to be for
long although sometimes those quiet short moments can feel much longer than
they actually are. If you allow the mind
to wander to “how will I get things done”, “I can’t stop” or “I will get
behind”, you have defeated the purpose of this exercise. Understand and know that this quiet moment
will not interfere with your day’ production.
In reality it will undoubtedly increase your ability to achieve.
You do not have to get caught up in the
rush of life and taking a few minutes whenever needed will bring about feelings
of calm and serenity, but you HAVE to “make” the time. It is a choice. When you feel overwhelmed, how will your
overall day suffer if you sit still for a moment of silence for yourself?

The New Moon and Its Link to the Full Moon
The New Moon phase is considered a time for
setting new goals and putting the necessary ingredients into motion to fulfill
these goals. When the Full Moon moves
into the same sign or house position that the New Moon was in when you set your
intentions, you will find that your goals are now coming to fulfillment. The Full Moon cycle is often linked to the
feelings of reaching an end of a condition.
This is when ideas come together and you have the ability to visualize
the whole picture and often will instinctively know what the next steps should
be to reach that goal.
In the New Moon phase, you could set plans by
outlining what your intentions might be and what is necessary to facilitate this
change or growth. As times goes by,
reflect on how some of these goals begin to manifest, as life is always filled
with opportunities. The intention is now
set and as we enter into the Full Moon cycle particularly if there is a link to
the sign and house position of the original New Moon phase, we will discover
that either these intentions can materialize or they can deepen.
If you set your intentions on the areas of
life determined by the house and sign position of the Moon, the potential for
success is greater than if you set intentions in areas of life that are not
linked to the house and sign position.
For example, if the New Moon is in Taurus and in the fourth house, you
might think about adding furniture, beautifying your home or doing work on the
house, as Taurus often speaks about material comforts and the fourth house has
to do with the home environment.
If using the same sign and house placement,
if you decide you want to try to find a new relationship, the end result may
not work out as well for you. In this
circumstance, you might want to wait until the New Moon is in Libra and the
house placement is in the fifth house.
Libra is all about partnership and important relationships among other
things and the fifth house can deals with romantic involvement.
If by chance the New Moon Cycle begins
under a void –off-course Moon, (the moon making no aspects leaving one sign and
entering the next) (for example the Moon is in Aries and at 27 degrees 15
minutes and is square Mars, and it will not make any more aspects to any other
planets until it is 1 degree and 23 minutes Taurus, this period is known as
Void-Off-Course). This could last from a
few minutes, several hours or many days.
It has been noted that when making plans when the Moon if void-off-course,
goals usually do not materialize or things go wrong and/or not as planned. It would be better to wait until the moon is
making an aspect and not void-off-course.
It is not suggested by this Astrologer that
you wait when making plans or decisions in life for these opportune moments to
come, but there is a better chance to make things work or taking less effort if
you were to follow these guidelines.
It should be understood that there may be
other mitigating conditions within the Astrology Chart making these goals difficult
or challenging, in turn delaying outcomes or challenging your ideas. Always look through the whole Astrology Chart
as it can help you discover if you will be presented with challenges or with easy
flow in achieving your objectives.
Astrology can be used to help you in your
life endeavors, but you should take the leading role in determining what
actions to take. Astrology is a tool to
assist you in making your decisions. It
is not to dictate.

Mistakes?
There will be times in life when we have to
stop for a moment and recognize we made a judgement call that did not turn out
the way we planned and because of this we call it a mistake. These so called errors or wrong turns may not
be a mistake at all but a valuable lesson moving forward. There are specific learning tools placed at
our disposal at every turn in our lives.
These tools force us to make decisions.
We are not at the mercy of events.
They are actually there for us to gain valuable information which we can
draw from at a later date.
These so called errors in judgement should
not be viewed as mistakes, and the lessons they teach should not be taken
lightly. We ARE to travel this road for
experience.
Instead of viewing these events as errors and
allowing ourselves to be fixated on feelings of doubt and uncertainty (ego
reaction), we must accept the event as a growth period. Be thankful for the event. If all that comes from the experience is self
doubt and sadness, we have not learned our lesson and invite another event to unfold
to re-teach the lesson as this lesson is imperative in our soul’s growth. If it were not, we would not have experienced
it. The second round of the lessons may
be somewhat disguised but the core remains the same. Often
our lessons when not confronted and acknowledged properly, returns with more
vigor and dealing with them the next time round will be a little more
tedious. Our higher self knows that the
lesson is important in our development so the second round will be more
difficult to ensure that the lesson is learned.
It is suggested that we pay attention when we are in a moment of truth
and take the necessary time to make the proper adjustments to the situation at
hand.
From time to time, we will make what we
perceive as “mistakes” and “poor judgements calls” along our life’s road. Do not be hard on yourself for these
decisions or actions. Do not fear these
lessons. Celebrate your
development. Without these lessons we
would stagnate. We truly need these
challenges to push us in the appropriate direction.
When life’s next decision presents itself, analyse,
organize and move forward informed. Have
no regrets and take action. Understand
that the lesson might have an outcome completely different than we intended,
but the experience will guide us to our next level. Everything in life has meaning and we are
always on track. We are never off route of
our true course.
Embrace these experiences and understand
their significance and know that you are not alone in this venture. We share this life and all of its
experiences. Part of that experience is
to lend a helping hand when someone goes through a traumatic life experience. It is not our job to resolve it for them but
to let them know we too are learning these lessons and they are not alone.

North Node in the Third House in Astrology
The house position of the Moon’s (Lunar) North
and South nodes is very important. Not
only do the nodes have relevance in the sign they are placed but the house
position is important as well, partly because house placements define areas of
life. As we mentioned in a previous post,
the North Node by definition speaks in part about what you have come to do in
this life. If you take into
consideration the sign placement of your North Node and house position, as well
as the positions and placements of the South Node, you can begin to get a clear
picture of why you are here and where you have come from.
Please see our blog http://holmastrology.blogspot.ca/2013/12/lunar-nodes.html
posted on Tuesday, 31 December, 2013 for a description of the Moon or Lunar
Nodes in Astrology.
Today we will focus on the North Node in
the third house. With the North Node in
this house, communication is one of the key ingredients in this life. You have a unique way of expressing yourself
and do this in your own style and will not follow along blindly by what is
dictated by others. You probably do well
at expressing yourself especially later on in life, unless there are mitigating
circumstances especially linked to Mercury in your Natal chart.
You will learn primarily through life’s
experiences and day-to-day living. There
are often key interests in specific subjects and you are a gatherer of
information. You will use this
information while seeking evidence and proof along the way. You are not the type to take life at face
value and enjoy exploring the deeper facets and uncovering the truth of the
matter. This is an excellent place for
study and intellectual pursuits, as often the mental capacities are heightened.
Some with this placement become proficient
writers and may follow this line of pursuit once they find an area of expertise
and enjoyment. The subject has to be
deep with a continuous flow of information, as any material that produces quick
results would not appeal to most people with this placement of their North Node.
Much depend on the sign of the North
Node. If for example the North Node were
in Gemini, the intellect might be more scattered than if it were in
Scorpio. The Scorpio individual would
delve deep into subjects while the Gemini would be more versatile and would
prefer to have a knowledge that is diversified and wide. This placement is often linked to nervousness
as they are often learning what true interaction with others is all about.
With the South Node in the ninth house
(always opposite the North Node) you have come from a place where you gained
much information on spirituality and religion.
Sagittarius is the natural ruler of the ninth house and with this, you were
a philosopher in previous lifetimes and have brought with you plenty of
information from these lives. This
information can be used in this life to further your education which is often
gathered through life’s experience.
Higher studies are often linked with this South Node positioning.
There may have been a lot of freedom to
roam in previous lifetimes and this adventurous spirit may still be alive and
well. In the past, you may have
travelled alone or ventured alone (or at the very least with few individuals)
and now the whole concept of communication with many individuals is quite
foreign to you. It might be somewhat awkward
until you become comfortable in your own skin.
Once accomplished, your knowledge and communication abilities can rise
to the surface. Clear communication is
something that has to be worked on in this life.
Some with this placement become public
speakers due to all the higher knowledge they have brought with them. Freedom to roam and a love for the wide open
spaces is still often a need. There is
often teaching abilities linked to this placement and the ability to spread
knowledge that has significant impacts on those around individuals with this
nodal placement. This is the
communicator of the word which can relay messages far beyond the normal
confines of everyday living.

Your Truth
Recently we touched on the ability to just be
ourselves and being comfortable in our own skins, regardless of other people’s
perspectives or opinions. We have come
to or are striving to come to an understanding that we are who we are. Each of us has our own special gifts that we not
only use for ourselves but we also share with the world, on whatever level is
required. Standing strong for who we are
and what we believe in and being proud of this uniqueness is the foundation
that binds us together yet distinguishes us from others.
This could be considered our truth, but
going one step further, we establish what our truth truly is and to following
these truths in our everyday lives.
Setting a standard for our truth is important, but primarily it is
important and relevant only specifically for to as an individual. We make our own judgements on the way we view
and live our lives personally. These are
concepts and ideologies that we facilitate and adhere to. They are ours personally and ours alone. No one can take them away from us, except if we
ourselves choose to falter.
Our truth is defined by self and we cannot
make anyone else follow our path. The
road we travel sheds light for our eyes only but the residual glow can lighten
the way for others. There will be times
that we feel that our path seems less visible and unclear as at times the light
will be missing because we refuse to see it.
Once again, it does not matter what others
think of the path we have chosen for ourselves.
Some will adhere to some of the same principles and be aligned with our
route, but there will also be many who are nowhere near our point of travel and
will have their own opinions on our path.
This does not matter. Rest
assured that even though some of these people will try to sway our course, we
can remain strong with our own set principles of love and light.
It would be very difficult if not impossible
to explain to others where we have come from and what has brought us to this
point in life. Is an explanation
important? This is our own personal
truth. We have attained this knowledge
and personal growth through experience, an experience that no one else has
lived.
Stay true to yourself and your beliefs. Be open to all there is but do not worry
about opinions of others. Let love lead
you and believe.
