FULL MOON IN CANCER

On December 25, 2015, we will be experiencing our last Full Moon of the year. 

The Full Moon will be in Cancer, the natural sign of the Moon.  Cancer deals with nurturing and protection and mothering on a deep level.  Now is the time to harvest the seeds that you planted during the new Moon in Cancer (the last Cancer New Moon was July, 2015).  If you set goals related to your family, particularly your parents (especially your Mom), during this time, you may now see the fruits of your labours. 

The New Moon is a time to set your intentions (plant your seeds), while the Full Moon is a culmination point of those efforts (harvest time).  Even if you feel that you did not set in motion family concerns, the home environment including changes to your home, your children and any act of nurturing and caring, you undoubtedly did so on a subconscious level.  You may now be able to view these areas of life with more clarity and after careful review might recognize weakness or deficiencies within the family unit that you could change or alter so that the energies within the family circle flows more freely.

It is important to focus on what it is you need for yourself on a deep personal level.  It is very challenging to move forward in new directions of understanding for others before you actually do what needs to be done for yourself first.  Your energies have to line up with your intentions.  Once this has been accomplished, you, as an energy, can radiate outward into your environment.  Looking after your own needs is as important as looking after the needs of family and others. 

Since the Sun is in opposition to the Moon at the time of any Full Moon, the Full Moon is a time when you can also reflect on what is taking place in your occupation and in your life’s ambitions.  Are you doing what is necessary in your life to prepare for the future?  Have you built a solid foundation that will withstand the pressures of life down the road and most importantly are you content with your life’s condition and your goals?  These are areas to reflect on now.  If you have been true to your own personal journey, you will reap the rewards of your hard work and planning.

The next New Moon on January 9, 2016 (in Canada) will be in the sign of Capricorn and will be direct on January 10, 2016.  We can plant the seeds and begin to plan and build in terms of occupation and building on life’s structures under the Capricorn new Moon.   

For now we can take care of any family concerns and build on making contact with these family members more pleasing and more meaningful.  Enjoy this special time of year and the energies of this wonderful Cancer full moon.  Take care of your own needs to ensure that you are capable of take care of others.

Enjoy this wonderful sensitive full moon and the love that flows with its energies.

REACHING OUT

If someone were standing right in front of you extending their hand for assistance, what would your response be?  How would you react and what could you do to help them in their time of need? 

If that person were vindictive in nature, would your actions for this person vary from your actions to assist someone who is loving or gentle?

When we are faced with individuals that have challenging characteristics, we need to be steadfast and true to our own personal journey.  We cannot back down because of a particular response or simply because part of us feels as though this individual does not deserve our assistance (This is judgement coming from ego).  If they are coming to us, there is a reason.  We must have something of significance to offer, even if their responses to live do not meet our expectations.

Advice somehow always seems to miss its mark.  Actions through example, however, speak volumes.  If we feel we must give advice, we should use a gentle approach.  Force creates friction.  The response to our actions is created by the receiver and is not ours to own.  Our ego has no place in the equation when we are offering our assistance.  If you do not like the response, send love and walk away.  Change and growth by someone else is their journey not ours.

Love and compassion will always be our best approach when we are offering a gentle reminder that things can get better.  The actual change must come from within those who see that they need change (even if it is simply a change of attitude). 

It is never co-incidence when someone is sent our way.  We can always offer assistance but we cannot make the changes or force others to accept our help. 

If we do our best in any given situation, we are being true to ourselves and our journey. 

We have control over our reaction to events in our lives and how we respond to those who share this journey with us. 

Control what you are suppose to and have faith that all else will happen as it should.

SUN IN CAPRICORN

In this post we are looking at the Sun in Capricorn.  Those born on the cusp of Capricorn/Sagittarius (you will have to go back to the birth chart for this information) will also have some Sagittarius traits.  The Sun has an orb of 16 degrees so you will have to see how many degrees into Capricorn (or actually any other sign of the zodiac depending on your cusp) to see the influence the preceding or subsequent sign has on defining your Sun sign characteristics.  The house placement as well as aspects to the positioning of your Sun will also have an impact on this very important solar link in your overall birth chart.  This being said, we will only talk in terms of the Sun being in the sign of Capricorn in your birth chart for this post. 

With the Sun in Capricorn at birth, you are a builder in terms of moving ahead in life pursuits.  Most Capricorns are very grounded and know precisely what steps are needed to move forward in life.  These pursuits are often based on material achievements particularly in building a solid foundation leading to success later in life.  Some reach their desired destination midway through life.  Others will reach this stage later in life, but one thing in common with Capricorns, the rise is slow but steady.  For Capricorn individuals, hard work and a steady approach is always the best route to reaching success.

Capricorn is concerned with things that matter and anything considered frivolous or of lessor importance does not hold their attention for long.  They reach for something that serves a purpose and has lasting qualities.  It is very important for the typical Capricorn that they are doing something worthwhile and significant in life.  They may not be like the Leo’s of the world (gaining recognition in ways that are known by everyone or standing out in the crowd) but recognition for a job well done even if it is performed behind the scenes is still important.  Success is earned and most Capricorns feel this way.  They will not take any short cuts or build on something that has a shaky structured.  They value the efforts taken by their predecessors and appreciate talent. They value other people’s opinions, but often in the end make their own decisions.

Many Capricorns are considered introverts and some even feel like they are alone in the world and suffer from loneliness.  They can be reserved and aloof in their nature and rarely show their true feelings.  Emotional responses at best are hidden and reticent, but this is not to say that they are emotionless.  They are far from it.  They just have trouble publicly displaying their emotional side.  If you can unearth this part of the typical Capricorn, you have done well.  Of course, much of these characteristics depend on the state and positioning of the Moon.  A Moon in one of the astrological water signs and with strong aspects will certainly do much to release these pent up emotions.

Capricorns are steadfast and very reliable and this is probably why they often succeed in life on one level or another. 

If you make a Capricorn your friend, they will stand by your side through thick and thin, but if you are unjust with them and hurt their sensitive feelings many Capricorns would be challenged to let go of this.  They hurt deeply and have a challenge bouncing back from adversity in life, especially any feelings associated with failure.  This would be a mountain to climb and this mountain would be ice covered, making any attempt to overcome this even more challenging.

Ask for advice or assistance and you will find a friend or colleague that rarely flounders.  They are almost as good at organizing lives as Virgo individuals, but whatever they build for others and for themselves will stand the test of time.

GIFTS FOR ANYTIME

We go out and buy the wonderful, well thought out gifts and we know that they will bring some happiness or ease to the receiver.  Eventually, however, the new wears off all “things”. 

What can we give that will have lasting qualities?  What can we give that the new will not wear off and will still have significance for years to come? 

The only answer, we can come up with is true unconditional love.  Love can be spread on so many levels. 

How many are limited with their finances and wish they could give a little more at special times of the year?  Spending time with loved ones and sharing love cost us nothing.  It actual pays dividends.

Unconditional love does not grow old and is never outdated.  Love radiates warmth that the coziest of fires could never provide.  Love fills the room and is available for all.  Holding a parent’s hand during a conversation, offering our lap to a little one, spending time with a lonely senior or friends that does not have family or snuggling with a partner....these hold greater meaning that any material gift.  These are true gifts, the effects of which keep on giving.

If we struggle with what gift to give that special individual on any day, we can give them a hug, hold their hand, put our arms around them and tell them how much we love them.  It is important to take time to share ourselves.  Our hearts will thank us.

EARLY STAGES OF AWAKENING

Do you feel worn out for no apparent reason?  Are you experiencing feelings of separation even though your personal contacts have not changed?  Do you feel as though you are entering into something unknown?  Are you experiencing times of confusion and the inability to concentrate for any extended period of time? 

These are symptoms of awakening or passing through a previous condition of life and entering into a new stage of being.  Define this how you will, but it is the ending of old outdated life conditions and the emergence of uncharted territory.

Some find this period of evolution quite frightening and may experience a challenging time when trying to understand what is taking place within their minds and bodies.  It is, in part, the coming to terms with who you are as an individual and upon recognition of this, experiencing the desire for change and a shift so that we can adapt into our new state of awareness.  This can be painful for as we recognized our personality quirks the ego wants to stand firm on its commitment to control. 

We are letting go of previous conditions in life and are adapting to the higher vibrational energy that is now part of our awareness.

We may experience times of depression, times of anxiety and times of disorientation.  These are all common experiences but can certainly be concerning as we experience them.  We may not understand the why behind these experiences but we recognize that we have little control over what is taking place.

We are not suggesting that you ignore signs of illness or disease.  Always seek medical advice when your body speaks to you.  If after seeing your doctor you still find no apparent cause for these symptoms and states, understand that they are common events during times of awakening.

 

It can take months, even years to move through these conditions but accepting the process will hasten it.  Do not let fear stand in the way of development and growth.  Allow the alignment to take place.  We, if we are open to it, are regularly instructed through inner knowledge and outer influences.

Realize that we change when necessary and only when the timing is correct.  Change is one of the few guarantees in life.  Know that you are exactly where you need to be for now and that it will unfold the way it needs to. 

Rest assured that life will unfold exactly as it should even if the events were not part of our plans.  As an individual connected to earthly concerns, developments may not suit our concepts of what “should” be.  But these are our limited human concepts.  Have faith in the path that you walk.

TRANSITING SATURN CONJUNCT THE MOON

For all of 2016, transiting Saturn will be between 10-15 degrees of Sagittarius.  Many people will feel its influence as much as 5 degrees approaching and up to 6 degrees separating.  Saturn energies are felt differently than any other planetary influence.  All other planetary influences will be at their strongest when direct and Saturn is at its strongest at 2 degrees past direct.  Saturn’s influence has a slow but steady feel to it and as it approaches, it will increase in intensity and then slowly releasing its energies as it moves out of range.  Saturn is slow and deliberate, and its intensity is easily felt.

When Saturn is conjunct the natal Moon or when it moves into conjunction with the progressed Moon, this is known as Saturn chasing the Moon syndrome.  Its energies are felt on an emotional level.  How it will affect you, depends on if the Moon is receiving other aspects, but it is fairly safe to say that you may go through depressive moods, feelings of insecure and inferior, and your self-worth will not be at its highest.  It is wise not to get caught up in the negative ramifications that this conjunction often implies.  You could easily become overly self-critical and although there is nothing wrong with self-analysis, remember to view yourself from a positive perspective as well.  Do not be overly nit-picky but you may discover some flaws that will need adjustment.

Your emotions may lack softness.  You may even feel emotionless or cold except perhaps for the feeling that you are not good enough or don’t care enough.  Being reflective, however, does not have to have negative influence.  If we remove judgement, we can sometimes learn exactly what we need to.  Saturn is the teacher and will certainly provide us with information.  Watch, however, for becoming overly pessimistic and self-critical.  If you want to keep tabs, you can write your thoughts down on paper, but be sure to match each challenging characteristic with a positive one, so you do not lose focus on what really matters.

It will undoubtedly be a challenging time off and on during this upcoming year, depending on how other planets play their part in the process.  Interact with others to get a clearer perspective and a more rational explanation.  Do not isolate yourself because of your feelings.  You need to process and then let go. 

 

Saturn will challenge you to figure out who and what you are.  This transit will help you figure out just that.  Self-reflection is a good thing and you can learn a lot about yourself during this aspect.  It is pretty much guaranteed that you will make significant changes to your character, but growth is a good thing.

The mother and often women in general will often play significant roles during this period. 

Taking control of your interactions with others can be challenging at times and it is best not to make any important life changing decisions during this aspect.  If you are contemplating leaving an important relationship and you are unsure, it is suggested that you wait until this transit has passed.  After the transit, you will have a much clearer picture of what is really taking place in your life.
