TRANSITING URANUS TRINE THE MOON

This aspect signifies a great time to make changes to your emotional outlook on life.  If you have been caught up in emotional trauma, this transit is all about changes and your ability to break free of these tight holds from the past.  Since the Moon deals primarily with your emotions, this is a great place to start.  As you begin viewing your emotional life from a new perspective, you will notice that the environment around you also starts to adjust.

Your emotional makeup plays a significant role in many aspects of life and when in relationship with the Moon, it might not only encompass emotions but also physical changes within the home environment.  You start to feel good about yourself and this “sense” starts to expand into the home and personal surroundings.  Your outer world is quite often a reflection of your emotional inner self.  During this aspect, you may decorate or make furniture changes that suit your innermost feelings.  Often you may find that you reminisce about the past and you may enhance your memories by buying adornments or putting up pictures that bring these times to the visual and mental surface.

The Moon is also closely connected to the mother, and you may discover that she is going through periods in her life where she seems to be on top of the world emotionally.  Of course much depends on her own chart conditions, but she may be looking for ways to find more freedom that leads to a better and more emotionally fulfilling life for her.  Your mother’s moods, along with your moods, may be subject to change when Uranus is contacting the Moon.  In general, the trine suggests happier experiences and tranquil times.  While the square or opposition usually indicates times of emotional strife.  When in opposition to one another, the emotions of the Moon usually are connected to other people in life.

Since Uranus is often used for timing in Astrology, take note when it is direct or when it moves into retrograde and then direct again in aspect, for these times will be when events unfold in your life.  They are usually linked to a need for space, and often the start of something new in your life.  Uranus wants to break free and find something that is more appropriate for the current time and space.  Uranus often acts as an awakener leading to dramatic changes. 

Locate which house transiting Uranus is located in, Uranus’ natal position, and the Moon’s natal position to see which areas of life will be affected by the aspect.  You should also check to see if this transit stirs up other configurations in your birth chart.  Any links to the Moon will now be affected as well and the natal promise (found in the birth chart) begins to unfold.

One thing is for certain, change can be counted on when Uranus is involved.  As mentioned earlier, this could relate to your emotional makeup, the emotional settings in your life, the home front and also emotional security.   The impact of Uranus can be felt as much as 5 degrees approaching and 2 degrees separating.  Trines are usually positive in their nature although Uranus is unpredictable so anything can happen.  If challenging conditions are apparent, the trine will speed up the process.  Be open to the “new” and know that change comes when we are ready for it.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAMILY

Do not underestimate the importance of family and close acquaintance, especially family members that have maintained a close bonds.  They are important on the day to day level but they are also important on a reincarnation, karmic and spiritual growth level.  For those of us that acknowledge reincarnation, we believe that our family members and close friends have chosen once again to return into our lives and play a role in it with us.  Our marriage partner, children, parents and siblings hold particular relevance in our lives.  The simple fact that they have chosen to come back into our lives indicates this significance. 

It is a true honour to share this existence with these individuals.  We flock together with the same group consciousness intentionally to play significant roles in each other’s lives.  Your partner may have been a close friend, a sibling, a parent or possibly an adversary in your previous encounter. 

Those relationships that are exceedingly challenging also have karmic implications that the parties involved have come to resolve.  As a result, it is important to realize that you should deal with the challenges at hand and create a resolution to whatever problems that may exist.  These are important lessons that have been cast into our lives to be resolve.  Talking openly about conflicts or complications within relationships serve to open the lines of communication for resolution of current and past life issues.  Both parties need to do their part and discuss the issues in order to find resolution, otherwise the karmic dept is still left unpaid. 

There are circumstances where one individual in a partner seems to suffer.  Could this be unresolved karma played out? 

Are the scales being balances or are future karmic issues being created?

Should we not always ensure that our actions stem from good intention and that our choices are made from the heart?  If you have worked to resolve issues and the other individual involved is not, could the lesson be to let go of the connection?

Ties with close friends and family are extremely important.  They are significant in our spiritual development.  How we treat others has momentous implications. 

We have chosen to come together once again to assist, learn from and appreciate the love that is co-created in these relationships.  They can facilitate growth on some level.  They can promote love and compassion.

Recognize the importance of each relationship in your life.  Gain in understanding through the challenges that you may have to endure.  Recognize and acknowledge those individuals that have brought love and peace in abundance to your life. 

Take life’s lessons as they come.  Build your karma in this life and the next through love and appreciation for one another.

THE HEALTHY SKEPTIC

Life’s circumstances are forever remolding us and presently us with new and different information.  If we are open, we are forever awakening to new ideas and concepts.  It is healthy, however, to question the validity of information received, although we should always keep the doors for new knowledge open.  Closing the door to potential is not indicative to learning and leaves all further development unavailable.  We should never, however, blindly accept all information tossed our way.  The healthy skeptic should be alive and inquisitive.

Questioning is partially the mind’s interference and just simply relying on faith to open the door is not an easy step to take for many of us.  There are of course the select few that have that ingrained faith that so many of us are trying to maintain.  They have faith in our higher sources, our higher self and in their gut reaction and know that they can rely completely on these. 

Most times for those of us that live in our earthly minds, belief structures based on past experiences are the motivating factor as to whether we choose to accept or choose to deny information that comes our way.  Much of our interference can be related to ego.  It is there to protect us, when necessary from those that would take advantage of us.  Ego, however, can distort its importance to maintain its control over any new course of action we may consider.

As we venture deeper into the unknown, we begin to uncover some of our deeper, hidden personal facets.  We begin to recognize safety barriers we have put in place and our own personal fears we have developed.  With a deeper look, we can recognize that these blocks are often related to the ego as well as the programming we have received in our developing years.  Our past is questioned and the ego’s stronghold is threatened.  Letting go of ego interference can be very difficult.  Releasing all that we have been told in the past as “fact” can be unnerving but we now realize that it is essential for future growth.

As we break from these chains of the past and of ego, we venture into the unknown as children.  What is ahead will be filled with adventure and it is exciting to begin this new journey.  We are children knocking at the door of a new found awakening where ego has no place and offers little.  We may still question but we begin to acknowledge that there really is something beyond what is accepted as the “norm”. 

This is where faith begins to awaken and we make our way beyond the bondage that has held us back for so long.  We venture forth not knowing what lies ahead and in careful anticipation of locating a part of our being and spiritual makeup that has been locked away up until now.

Questioning as we venture forward is a healthy approach.  You would not walk out on the ice without knowing its depth for support. 

Step forth on your journey with questions but also be open, inquisitive and filled with love and faith in all that is.

TECHNIQUES IN FORECASTING AN ASTROLOGY CHART

As we become familiar with the basics in astrology, such as the signs, houses and aspects, we begin to get a firm foundation.  The birth chart is a precise tool to assist in delineating the character traits of a particular individual.  There are many variations found in a natal chart and this is what sets each of us apart and makes us so unique in our personalities.

Once we get a clear picture of what makes a person with an Aries Sun and a Capricorn Moon different from someone with an Aquarius Sun and a Cancer Moon (only part of the process) we can move on to understanding upcoming transits and progressions.  These tools are used in Astrology to decipher what potential future events or areas of life will be affected by the passing of the planetary giants in our solar system.

We have to take into consideration all the planets but pay particular attention to the outer planets, especially Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.  Any inner planets that are in retrograde motion for a prolonged period of time however should also have our attention.  The inner planets move very quickly through the zodiac and under most conditions, these transits do not overly affect us and usually only impact us for quite a very short periods of time.

The outer planets and retrograde planets passing over sensitive points in our birth chart, particularly the Ascendant and the Midheaven can have profound effects on our lives and often point towards turning points or significant life events that can alter our perception or instigate action that changes our perceptions and sometimes point towards alterations in our lives. 

The most powerful transit is a transiting planet conjuncting a natal sensitive point or planetary body.  The energies of the planet and points merge and become one.  Under most conditions, the life circumstances intensify what these energies are linking together and the areas of life influenced will be reflected by the areas where these planets are located in the birth chart.  The houses are areas of life and the transiting planet will intensify these points and may produce profound life altering effects especially when several transiting planets are saying something similar in the chart.

The outer planets can be within their orb of influence for up to two to three years depending on when and how frequently they go into retrograde motion and when they become direct again.  The first impact when a transiting planet makes an important aspect to another planet and makes a direct aspect to a natal point or planet will be the strongest.  An example of this might be Saturn conjunction Mars at 15 degree of Aries.  Both planets become direct when the transiting planet is exactly 15 degrees Aries.  This applies to squares, a 90 degree aspect, the opposition, a 180 degree aspect and also the other major aspects--the trine, sextile as well as the minor aspects-- the semi-sextile, the semi-square and so forth.  The major aspects are more significant than the minor aspects, and the challenging aspects usually promote transitional in our lives.

There are several progressed aspects that are also important in determining factors in a birth chart and the potential for change in a person’s life.  We will look at the progressions at a later date.  Progressions are more of an internally influence in their nature.  Astrologers use the progressed Moon, transiting Mars as well as the transiting Sun and transiting Uranus as timers, as they often produce a push that activates the energies of the outer planets and often signifies an event or culmination producing internal insight.

This is but a brief description on how to delineate potential life events as well as the timing as to when these events may unfold.  The area of life affected will be described by the houses involved in the transit or progression, as well as the natal placement of the transiting planets by aspect and house placement. 

With this post, we are only touching on information and this will only offers a little insight into understanding how to decipher potential events in the future.

SYNCHRONICITIES

Have you ever been through a traumatic life event and wondered how life could ever come together again and have meaning? 

How often have you been through transformations like a marriage breakup, critical health concerns, a family member’s death?  Have you ever felt as though these events were needed to produce some required changes to your life?  Events such as these undoubtedly created changes in life’s direction, or hopefully a change in attitude about life.

We often know that these life events were meant to be, as they seem to have changed our direction and opened up doors for us that were closed before. 

During trials and tribulations, it is hard not to get caught up in negative responses as we are experiencing these events.  Sometimes while experiencing these events we struggle to find anything positive, but given time to relax and reflect, we often uncover greater meanings to these events.

We can get overly caught up in life events and we are not just suggesting events we view as negative.  Many times life also provides us with transformation through the meeting of important people that seem to come our way just when we need them the most.  Sometimes we are fortunate enough to meet someone who will enter our lives and remain a steady companion and comfort for years to come.  Other times these individuals are only with us for short periods of time, but leave lasting impression on us.  Sometimes these individuals come in the form of siblings or parents and often they come in the form of partners such as spouses which with work these relationships can last a lifetime.

When these events or people come into our lives it is quite amazing how life seems to shift.  Synchronicities occur and we are steered in directions that at first seem so foreign to our minds but so comfortable to our hearts.  With time, these events or “co-incidences” manifest events specific to the current requirements in our lives.  We should never dismiss any events as unimportant and should fully appreciate these synchronicities.  Wonderful life changing events or people who orchestrate them can appear out of nowhere to push us forward on our intended path.

Some say that it was by chance, or it was just one of those things.  Some call it coincidence, but some recognize the synchronicities for what they truly are.  We are on a chosen course from which we may stray from time to time but we always find our way back.  All things happen for a reason.

Life is an intentional path.  Grab hold of your little piece of destiny and stay in tune to the true meaning behind these events.  Nothing is by chance.  Everything has its purpose and each person we meet has their specific place in our lives as we do theirs.

Enjoy each moment without judgement.  Pay heed to the lessons being offered but most of all, do not forget to live!

HOW ARE YOUR CHOICES AFFECTING YOU?

Are you stuck on trying to maintain what used to be?  Are you having a difficult time moving forward in a new direction?  Has your life changed so significantly that it no longer feels like your own? 

It is certainly true that life does take unexpected turns and we have to learn the art of adapting to these conditions.  As challenging as it may seem, these new found circumstances are put in place for us to learn from and adjust to.

We are not at the mercy of life, even though at times it may feel that we are.  Life does seem to carry us off our anticipated route from time to time.  We need to acknowledge that these twists and turns are actually in place for a reason.  There is always a purpose behind any action or event.  We simply have to adjust to these new sets of conditions and accept the new journey.

This might sound easy but without faith in the process, acceptance can be a very difficult task. 

We are resilient and even when faced with adversity, we can adapt and grow regardless of the obstacles.  We can adjust to life’s conditions unless we fight the process.  This decision IS in our hands.  The choice we have is to mentally accept and build from what is at hand, or mentally challenge things that are out of our hands?  If you choose growth and happiness, your choice has already been made.

Our choices are not at the mercy of life.  We should focus our attention on the new things entering into our lives.  Look at the deeper meanings behind each event.  In most cases, the lessons are obvious but in some cases, we will have to dig a little deeper to find the “why” behind the way life is unfolding.  Sometimes no matter how much we search, we may not be able to uncover or comprehend the true lesson through our human thought process.

Patience is often a repercussion, and we learn this valuable lesson frequently in life.  We are naturally restless and inquisitive.  We usually want answers immediately and sometimes it just does not happen that way.  In these times, it is best to just wait and see.  Watch as the amazing process of life unfolds right in front of us.  Life is miraculous and mysterious-- always intriguing.   With faith, let life lead and acknowledge that it always works out for the best, regardless of our preconceived notions.  We just have to have the vision to see life and its events as they truly are.

Sometimes life can appear tainted, and events and our path appear unclear.  When there seems to be no appropriate resolution at hand, you just might have to wait for an answer or sign to point you in the right direction.  Asking for assistance from the higher sources or seeking professional support in times of need is not only appropriate but advised. 

Sometimes we just need a tender hand or the right words to push us in the correct direction.  We can ask for direction, but do not expect others to make the decisions for us.  We are always the one that makes the final decision.  The ultimate decision is ours.  We have whatever resources are required at hand.  Life always opens up to us when the time is right.  Have faith.  Seek the positive in all things.  Know that life unfolds exactly as it should.
