TRANSITING NEPTUNE SQUARE NATAL MOON

If your natal Moon is in either Gemini or Sagittarius transiting Neptune will be squaring this lunar position between 4 and 18 degrees.  Squares usually signify challenging conditions and when it touches the Moon, these challenges will be emotional in nature.  The Moon can also speak in terms of family and the home environment.  Because the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius are mutable signs, the potential for being able to adapt and change to these conditions is stronger than if these signs were fixed or cardinal.  All mutable signs are able to bend with the current of life and make alterations to suit the changing conditions often brought on by the Moon.

Since the energies of Neptune are the influencing tide of conditions current during this period (which can last the whole year if you have your Moon in these degrees), you may have difficulty understanding your emotions during this aspect and Neptune will be what is influencing the way you feel during this time.  You will strongly be influenced by any emotional experiences over this period and you may even take on the emotions of those around you.  It will be important for you to step back and examine why you feel the way you do during this aspect so that you can find ways to alleviate or at least understand the emotions you are experiencing.

Your emotions are on high alert. Your sensitivity and intuition is enhanced and at times subject to unreliable feedback.  Neptune has a tendency to colour events and it makes things rather cloudy, allowing your fertile imagination to have influence over how you see what is taking place in your life.  Those that have active minds will find it hard to rationalize events because of the emotional impact of these energies.  There will come a time after the transit has lost its influence that you will be able to make sense of what all has taken place.  As long as these energies are tied together, it will be challenging.

If you can find ways to allow the pure energies of Neptune’s influence to expand your consciousness, (which is also quite possible although usually not until you have gone through some trying conditions), you may find that your intuition can be reliable.  Try to feel these conditions rather than rationalize them.  Go by gut instinct and hunches.  These may provide you with clearer insight than trying to mentally make sense of it all.

You will undoubtedly feel intense ups and downs during this period, but it is important to remember that the greatest lessons in life come from tumultuous conditions.  You will more than likely understand your “feeling nature” in much greater detail and not be led so easily astray after these lessons have been taught.  You may also find that you are avoiding anything that is emotionally trying to your otherwise calm conditions.  Under some conditions, this is not a bad choice, although at this time you should certainly get in touch with your emotions.  If you run into problems dealing with current emotional conditions, seeking professional help would be a good choice.  At the very least share your feelings with someone close.  Beware of resorting to alcohol and drugs to remove yourself emotionally from any chaotic situation.  This can be exceedingly dangerous at this time.  Make an extra effort to correct or contend with life’s conditions during this aspect and do not try to run from the issues through substances abuse.

You will get through these times and come out much stronger.  Hold on for the ride and do not become over-whelmed by these conditions.  As with all of life experiences, this will pass as time goes by and we come out the other side much stronger and much wiser from the experience if we meet it head on.

BUILDING IN STRENGTH

Take a look to see what stage you currently are experiencing in life.  Do not judge.  Just note the facts. 

What have you learned over the past year and how has it affected you?  Do you feel stronger?  Are you more in touch? 

The inner self is always able to withstand any external stimuli.  This inner self has great resilience.  At times we may believe that we are regressing in the physical world, but in reality our outer personality may be dormant as we are strengthening our inner core. 

We are not referring to our higher self or soul.  That foundation of who we are is permanent and can be relied upon at anytime.  What we are referring to is the individual that you are building throughout the process of this life.  This inner self is the outer layers of the onion, if you will, that we are currently growing.  It is not the mind, as thoughts are generated through expectation or past experience, but the one that has been a spectator for all of these life experiences and is more adept at handling life’s struggles than our responsive self.

If you are currently feeling somewhat lost and life has you by the hand and is seemingly pulling you in all different directions, know that the fog will lift and the grip will release.  The warmth of the light will eventually burn off the fog and you will see clearly and you will gain resilience from your experience.  These trials and tribulations strengthen our resolve.... our belief in ourselves.  Through these harder lessons we gain momentum and we grow.  We are constantly learning through life’s experience and growth occurs through these experiences.  Without life lessons, we would stagnate.

Life is full of twists and turns and we should ride the wave.  Sometimes life moves along almost perfectly and other times life can be like a volcano either waiting to erupt or vigorously spewing lava.  Remember these times are beneficial.  Our thoughts about these experiences are what determine how we react to these events.  If we focus on the hard parts of the lesson, the lesson will be extremely hard.  If we focus on the benefits of the lesson, the lesson will be beneficial.  The choice is ours.  We can do a professional job using professional tools or we can do an amateur job and ignore the tools at hand.  The more we practice with the tools available, the more precise we become using them. 

Remember many of these life experiences have been put in place for our greater good and we are equipped to deal with these experiences either on our own or through asking for assistance.  We are never at the mercy of life, but we are at the mercy of our thoughts.  Be wary of negative thoughts.  They have no real benefit.  Live in the moment as much as possible.  The ego mind is silence when we are there and through that silence we can focus on what is important.

Can we take a moment to remind ourselves of the blessings that are coming our way, the blessings that are bestowed on us regularly in our day-to-day lives?  Pay heed to how life is good in so many different ways.  Stay focused on these things so that we can draw more of the same our way.

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT NATAL MOON

Before we go into the definition of this aspect, it is important that you review the placement of Transiting Uranus as well as where the Moon is placed in your own personal natal chart.  These will be the areas of life that are affected by this transit.  The conjunction does not have to have negative effects if there is positive aspects between these two bodies in the natal chart, or if the Moon is very well aspected in the birth chart. 

The transit between the Moon and Uranus does suggest some change on an emotional level that can be quite disruptive, particularly if you have been following a ridged emotional pattern where you have not allowed your emotions to be released or expressed.  Any restrictive behaviour in terms of how you have been handling life from an emotional perspective is now subject to reckless and possible impulsive behaviour.  Your mood can vary considerably under this transit and you might find your emotions very hard to control.

Incidents involving women, particularly your Mother, can come under attack during this aspect.  Things intensify and your relationship may go through some struggles, or changes may come suddenly out of nowhere.  Sometimes you are the one orchestrating these behaviours, and other times it may stem from others.  This can involve women in general and in the case of men with this conjunction, they may find that they are attracted to women that may be eccentric or original in their behaviour.  Sometimes these women come into your life to help you move forward in ways that you may have been stagnating previous to this time.  Other times they are just disruptive and cause trouble to the normal routine, although things may have felt rather dull before this conjunction but they will certainly not feel that way now.

The Moon has to do with your emotional response and your emotional needs.  If you are supported in your life and you have been nurtured especially when you were young, your emotional expression would relay this to the outside world.  You may be nurturing yourself and want to look after others and play a mother role or a nurturer for them. 

If, however, your emotional upbringing was anything but smooth, you may have difficulties expressing your more sensitive side, especially if you have other factors in your chart suggesting this, such as strong Capricorn tendencies.  Things may change during this transit and you may have to deal with either being taken advantage of, or you may not responding well in emotional ways.  Change is what Uranus’ energies are about--required change and also freedom of expression.  If these have been hindered, this may be the time for such things to be reviewed and changed.

The Moon also has to do with your domestic life.  This could include your actual home or if you own property, your real estate might be subject to change such as a move or making changes within the home’s environment.  Some look for cottage property and some just do some remodeling to make their environment more comfortable. 

Watch for being too impulsive at this time.  Above all else, this is a time to truly get in touch with your feelings.

LIFE'S BEAUTY

Have you every purposely taken a close look at all that surrounds you?  Are there trees and gardens?  Are there nature trails nearby that you have taken advantage of?  Is there a body of water close by?  Are there farmers’ fields?  What types of shops and buildings are in your area?  Have you looked around your home and actually been thankful for all that is available to you? 

There is so much beauty that surrounds us yet so many of us spend our days busy listening to the babbling voice in our mind.  We miss the enjoyment of the moment and see very little of what is next to us. 

Have a look around you right now as you are reading this post.  I mean a really good look.  Don’t just scan your surroundings.  Focus to see all the little details in your surroundings.  Take them in and feel their presence.  Let them make an imprint.  Why ignore what is right in front of you?

Now go a step further.  Review your life itself, your children, your other half, your pets, your parents and brothers and sisters, all of your family whether blood or chosen, those whom you work with or see regularly at work. 

Now go even deeper and pay attention to those that you pass on the road, in the store, on your walk or in the movie theater.  Take it all in during the moment and let this “seeing” spill into your day.  Pay attention to it all.  Experience breathing in the air...actually feel the warmth of the air or the coldness of the air.  Experience how it feels on your skin.  Feel the warmth of the Sun.  Experience the stars.   Feel the energy of the Moon within you.  Take in the fragrances of all that surrounds you.

When people are on holidays, they take in much of their surroundings and experience life much more than when we are living our day to day life.  Why don’t we focus on everyday life just as we do while we are on holidays?  Each moment is special and holds its own magic.  We CAN open our eyes to that which we normally take for granted and feel life’s experience.  We can even feel life’s vibrations and our interaction with what is taking place in our lives if we place our focus there.  We can also experience intuition and a connection to all living things if we choose to pay attention to these energies.  This and so much more surrounds us each and every moment.  What are we missing?

The next time we feel life is offering us nothing, we should have a little peak at what is right in front of us.  If life feels difficult it is not because of the events that are taking place, it is due to our attitude of what is taking place.  All this that we fight will eventually pass but these events would be much easier to experience if we just accepted.  We are not suggesting that we allow ourselves to be a victim.  Quite to the contrary; we cannot allow ourselves to be victims.  We can take control of our reaction to life and insist that it will benefit us, not knock us down. 

When life is what we term as good, we can hold this energy in our hearts and be thankful.  Our hard times offer growth and our wonder moments provide us with happiness and peace.  Experience it all.  Time waits for no one.  We are only here for a short time in the grand scheme of things, but in the moment, we have eternity.  Gratitude and happiness are within our grasps always.  Take advantage of what life is offering but we have to recognize this to enjoy it.

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT NATAL SUN

This aspect between Uranus and the Sun is a very fruitful and dynamic aspect.  It is an aspect with energies that are concerned with freedom of expression, without restriction, and with the ability to be who you are regardless of what others think.  In many ways, it is a new self-expression without limitations; free to be if you wish.  You are barred from any restrictions.  It is an opportunity to be more than you have been in the past, a chance to throw away any self-doubt and a chance to break barriers that have held you back.  If you have imposed limits on your self-expression, this will be the time when you can let them go.  If you need to make a break from the past, this will be the time when you move out into the world and become or allow your true self.

The Sun deals with life’s objectives and the ability to move forward with these opportunities.  Uranus will bring you surprising results if you dare to go the extra mile and are not afraid of standing out or being viewed as different.  You can make sweeping changes in your life based on what you want to do with it now.  Not much will hold you down unless you fear what might take place.  You will be your only limitations.

This offers a new start, a new beginning and freedom to move ahead in any new direction that life offers you.  You can be the one that makes these things happen but do not be afraid to push into new territories.  Even if you fall, you will be able to get back up, but you are your driving force and you decide what you want to happen.  Your goals and aspirations have the potential to expand and manifest themselves in new and inventive ways.  If you have been caught up in dull routines and wish for something new and exciting, this will be the time to take such actions.  Change is what this aspect speaks of, and if you are willing to allow, get ready as things can happen at the drop of a hat.  Swiftness is common and you can expect the unexpected.

You have to be careful at this time as people tend to rush and make rash decisions and sometimes accidents can happen.  But as long as you think before you act, you should be just fine.  Your energy levels might be very high at this time, and pushing yourself beyond your limits is not advised.  Don’t take chances with your health and look after your body’s needs.

You may find opportunities to advance in your career especially if you have good aspects to the MC or Ascendant.  You may attract unconventional acquaintances at this time that help to facilitate the changes taking place in your life.  Enjoy them.  They may not be around for long.  You may find that the people who interest you now will be quite different from what you have been accustomed to previous to this time.  They will, however, bring adventure and something new along with them if you allow them to enter your life.

ORACLE CARD READING TESTIMONIAL

I felt that Peter really connected with me and my concerns about where my life is going and what my focus needs to be at this time. He gave me a great reading that was very detailed. It was my first reading and he took his time and explained everything. I didn’t feel rushed at all.

I got information that showed me my strengths and my challenges as I walk my path. I have always sensed these things but was afraid to step into the light. Peter has given me the information that I needed to hear and now, it’s up to me to step up my game and honour my spirit instead of being lost in ego.

I am so grateful to Peter for being out there and channeling this information in such a clear and empowering way. 

Besides that, it was also just so inspirational to me to see someone who takes his craft very seriously and is actually living what is so obviously, his calling.

Thank you, Peter!
