FULL MOON IN GEMINI

We will be having a Full Moon in Central Ontario (Canada) in the sign of Gemini at 22 degrees on the 13^th of December at 7:06 p.m.  Depending on where in the world you live, you may experience the full moon on December 14, 2016.  You can check the timing of the lunar phases in your area at http://www.calendar-12.com/moon_phases/2016

Gemini is closely linked to the formulation of new ideas often brought on through education and conversation.  Since once again this is a time to harvest, we suggest that you to take diligent notes on what you are being educated on.  Harvest the knowledge you are being presented with as you may be able to use these ideas later in creating short transcripts or perhaps the writing of a book.  With Gemini involved, it will be something along these lines. 

It could be a time to market your ideas to the public or present these concepts perhaps within your schooling.  If you have already been in the process of marketing your ideas now may be the best time to move ahead, especially if you have planets that link up with this 22^nd degree.  Trines and sextile to Gemini at 22 degrees will certainly work to your advantage.  Squares to this degree may require more work on your part, while oppositions indicate that other people will have an influence in your endeavours.

Mercury, which is ruled by Gemini, will be going into its retrograde cycle on the 19^th of December and will remain retrograde until January 8, 2017.  During this retrograde cycle, you should be making plans in the areas we have just discussed.  Then if fully prepared, move forward on these ideas (probably after the retrograde cycle ends).  The retrograde cycle of Mercury suggests that rather than put things into action you would do better with making plans to do so.  Move forward after this cycle is finished, which again will be any time after the 8^th of January. 

Mercury will be in the final stages of Sagittarius when it turns direct which is 6 degrees beyond being direct to this Full Moon. 

Mercury will be in opposition to this placement of the Moon so the potential for someone to be of assistance with your endeavour is enhanced.  Saturn will also be in the sign of Sagittarius and Saturn nearly always presents you with obstacles to overcome and may also slow down the process, so be patient and make sure you are completely prepared for this undertaking.  Saturn’s restrictions are actually lessons.

 

Uranus is also in trine to this position, approximately 20 degree Aries, suggesting some opportunities will come your way, but you can expect the unexpected.  Plans will materialize when you least expect them to.  This is the energies of Uranus.  Jupiter is also in the sign of Libra at this time which suggests some luck in obtaining benefits and expansion on these ideas.  Jupiter can be very beneficial even when Saturn creates its hard lessons.

As mentioned, check your chart to see if you have other planetary positions at 22 degrees or if your MC or Ascendant is involved in the sequence of events.  This will further define what opportunities or what obstacles that you may have to deal with as you move forward.  Be sure to wait until the Mercury retrograde cycle is over before you actually take any concrete steps, if at all possible.

JUPITER IN TRANSIT

As we are currently under the sun sign of Sagittarius, we are continuing our look at Jupiter, Sagittarius’ ruling planet.  Jupiter is known as the great benefactor and often extends good luck and opportunities when it makes contact with other planets while transiting through the horoscope.  Jupiter’s energies are what we wait for.  It brings with it expansion on many levels related to the area of life represented by the house that it is transiting through in your chart.

It will bring beneficial opportunities and success unless the planet it touches is severely afflicted in the natal chart or poorly aspected by other transiting planets.  In this case, these could be times when we might become expectant of something good happening and possibly overestimates the outcome. 

When Jupiter makes aspects, especially by trine or sextile, (and in most cases conjunctions to the Sun, Venus, the Ascendant, the midheaven and even the north node) opportunities for advancement is likely.  When these planets and important points are aspected adversely, opportunities still present themselves, but you may have to work harder for results.  Saturn is basically the only planet that suggests challenging conditions linked to Jupiter, unless it is really well aspected in the birth chart.

Jupiter deals with religion, spirituality, philosophy and is often tied to higher learning.  It rules law and the legal system and there are times when Jupiter aspects a planet or is moving through the ninth house that legalities are enhanced and opportunities for a successful conclusion is most likely.  This may work in your favour but the results may fall short of your expectations.  Jupiter does sometimes bring exactly what you are asking for so it is important to ask for what is appropriate and to find satisfaction in all outcomes.

Even the squares and oppositions when involved with Jupiter seem to bring more benefits than when these aspects are associated with other planetary energies.  Just watch for overextending yourself during these times as Jupiter tends to expand everything it touches.  Some people gain weight when Jupiter crosses over the Ascendant. 

If there are other energies in the chart that suggest that there is the potential for things not to work out, Jupiter can expand on these energies although in most cases it helps rather than hinders. 

Jupiter’s energies almost always promises opportunities for expansion and growth so take advantage of these times in your life and make Jupiter work for and with you.

DO NOT LOSE YOUR PERSPECTIVE

Do not allow yourself to lose focus of your own personal ideologies.  It is important not only during good times but especially through hard lessons to continue to share, love and be compassionate.  We must always be the mirror image of what we want to see in our world around us.

It is said that currently we are in a transitional stage.  As with all transition periods, comes times of turbulence.  Be compassionate and share love with your fellow brothers and sisters.  Stay focused on the positive.  It is plentiful, if we care to pay attention.  We may be in a state of flux but that does not mean that we cannot stay focused on our true journey, which is based on of love.  We can rise above any global event.  When we focus on the blessings in each and every day, which are too numerous to list, we keep our energy levels high above the levels that perpetuate fear and hatred.

Live each day in a manner that serves you best.  Do not allow the actions of others to intrude into your loving world.  If we live in fear and hatred, then the actions of those lacking in love around us have truly infiltrated our own personal world and lowered our energy.  Peace, contentment, joy.....these cannot be obtained through violence, discontent, hatred. 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated this clearly:

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral,

begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.

Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.

Through violence you may murder the liar,

but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.

Through violence you may murder the hater,

but you do not murder hate.

In fact, violence merely increases hate.

So it goes.

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence,

adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness:

only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

We are one.  Our beliefs in life are not worth having if they cannot stand up during times of trial.  Let the light of source continue to be your guide and stay true to your own personal journey.

Nothing can bend the strong arm of compassion and together as a force we can help channel hate in different directions.  Hate is the absence of love.  If you fill hate with love, it can no longer exist.  All actions create waves of energy.  These waves are continual and once they have returned, you will reap the harvest of what you have sown.  Life looks after life and what we set in motion today will have ramifications in our world on future dates.

Acts of love and compassion raise your vibration and in so doing raise the vibration of all that surrounds you.  Rise above the seeds of fear that have been planted.  Find that place within that resonates with love at the highest level. 

Together our energies create the whole.  There is only one life to live for the moment, one life to give in the moment.  Here, today, is your opportunity to make this world a better place for you, for everyone, for the whole.

NATAL JUPITER IN THE FIRE SIGNS

If you have natal Jupiter is in the sign of Aries, you could be a pioneering individual.  These individuals usually are one who walks their own walk, talks their own talk and acts in terms of leading rather than following.  They can be very enthusiastic and have the ability to push others into action.  They have strong opinions and believe in themselves.  They always appear quite confident.  They are not afraid of competition, in fact they like it.  They calculate optimistically and forge ahead once their mind is made up, which may not take long.  If they fail to reach a specific goal, they are quite comfortable with picking up the pieces and beginning anew.  They just have to learn from their mistakes.

Aries rules the first house and if Jupiter is in the first house natally, these individuals often appear very cheerful and fun-loving.  They are kind-hearted and really believe in the power of positive thinking.  They live their lives with this in mind.  They understand that negativity breads negativity and they try to steer clear of such thinking.  This might make them appear a little naïve but they truly believe that optimistic thinking advances them and others, and this attitude will push positivity out into their environment.

Jupiter in Leo individuals are very generous with their efforts in assisting others.  They are also optimistic and have good luck when it comes to intimating relationships, although some give more than they receive.  Jupiter is the planet of good luck and expansion.  In Leo, these people can be quite proud of their achievements and just as proud of the achievement of those that are near and dear to them.  They love adventure and may also find fortune with their expertise in the arts, as some seem to be quite adept in creating in life.  Their children, as well as other people’s children, are important to them and they will spend much of their time making sure that their needs are met.  This generous nature truly comes from the heart.

The fifth house is ruled by Leo and those that have Jupiter in the fifth house are warm-hearted, genuine in their caring attitudes and truly want to help.  Jupiter also rules expansion and the learning of religious doctrines and life’s philosophies.  These individuals may be adept at learning and teaching these areas of life to those around them.  As mentioned, creativity is an area of potential opportunities and this could be found through many different avenues of expression.  Just watch for a potential love of gambling, as taking risks and finding ways to capture enjoyment is also high on these people’s minds.

Jupiter in Sagittarius is quite at home in this placement and often produces talents in religion, philosophy and mystical pursuits.  These individuals develop through these channels over their life time and will explore these areas in great depths.  Life and its experiences are what these people wish to find, whether this be found in the great outdoors, through activities in sporting events or through philosophical understanding.  They want to learn by experiencing these things first hand.  Many find travel to foreign lands is an area where higher learning can be acquired.  

Jupiter rules the ninth house and those that have their natal Jupiter in the ninth house have a great need to gain insight and knowledge from what life teaches.  Many are skilled at teaching and many have educated themselves through life; either through the actual schooling process or through the school of hard knocks.  They are seekers of the wide open spaces and live their lives with a desire for free speech and are not afraid to say what they feel, regardless of who it may offend.  They are open, quite willing to debate and have a wide range of knowledge on many subjects.  They are the teachers of the zodiac and are knowledgeable because they have often either read about these things and more than likely have experiences to back up their facts.

ARE YOU READY?

It has been suggested that we are currently experiencing a shift in consciousness.  Do you feel it?  What, if anything, can you do to prepare for this shift and how will it affect you, if at all? 

These are questions that many are asking. 

Whether we take action or not, the shift is in motion.  How do you prepare?  We don’t!  The energies of the experience touch us when we are ready.  The personal experience of these energies only unfolds at the rate we are able to experience.  One individual may have already completed their complete shift.  The next individual may only have a few more things that need to surface to begin their new journey and the next person may have years of polishing to be done. 

Preparation can be part of the process and many of us have been going through changes at an incredible rate in the recent past. 

What can we do to prepare?  We can have a look at our life and make changes if we feel we must.  Most importantly, let go and recognize the eternal moment and its significance.  Be present and allow.

Are you ready?  Think about that question for a moment.  We would not be focused on this shift if we were not ready.  Let go of the outcome and just enjoy the process. 

How will it affect you?  It is enlightening.  This journey brings you into the moment and within that moment resides everything.  Have no expectations.  This experience may seem new, yet we know the feeling, as though we are returning home.  It is familiar. 

You are part of the shift.  Enjoy and be.

TRANSITING JUPITER/SATURN IN SEXTILE

The energies of Jupiter in Astrology connect with expansion, optimism, luck and opportunities.  The energies of Saturn, however, have to do with restrictions, delays, caution, lessons and limitations.  Saturn offers potential growth but not without some focus and hard work through carefully planning and a cautious approach.   As you can imagine, these two energies can work against each other.

If plans have been in motion for some time, and you have studied the project carefully, Jupiter linked with Saturn offers potential for success as long as you are willing to work diligently.  If you dive into a project without proper forethought and planning then the potential for a successful outcome is lessened to a great degree.

Saturn defines duties and commitments with whatever you decide to move forward in.  Jupiter will provide you with options that might not otherwise be there.  If you need to get work done and completed on time, Saturn is the energy you need to cultivate.  If you are looking for something that is high-minded and spiritual in nature or something concerning litigation then Jupiter might aid you in these areas.

Jupiter looks for expansion and freedom.  Saturn will limit the steps taken so that you move securely one step at a time.  If you are planning an investment, it might be best to be frugal with your spending and although you might feel quite comfortable in over extending your bank account and going into debt in order to achieve what you set out to do.  You should still carefully plan out your investments and make sure that there really is opportunity for growth.  The potential is certainly there but do not be too optimistic and realize that it may take time for your fortune to unfold the way you might it would.  Do not look for instant returns.

If you already own your own business, this is a good time for expansion, but do not go overboard.  Make sure that the business is ready for expansion and that you can afford the costs that will be incurred once you make the commitment.  Jupiter offers good luck and opportunities but not without hard work and discipline, due to Saturn’s influence.  You may find that your ideas will pan out if you take cautious, informed steps along the way.  There is greater opportunity for success now and Jupiter is suggestive of business prospects and potential for higher earnings. 

Your motto might be “Be cautiously optimistic and venture forth with the complete information required to fulfill your ultimate goals”.
