TRANSITING PLUTO CONJUNCT NATAL MARS

Before we go into deciphering this transit of Pluto to Mars, please check if you have a natal aspect between these two planets, check if you have other transits aspecting your natal Mars and check which house is involved.  The planets that are natally joined with Mars will all play a part in the unfolding potential behind these two energies.

The dynamics of these two planetary energies can be quite forceful and also very volatile.  As a result, it is important to check the overall picture in your chart.  If there are aspects in the chart indicating some other forces playing a role in this conjunction and they are favourable then the energies released may not be as tense.

Pluto and Mars together, when well aspected by other indicators, can be a time of gathering or reaching your goals and recognizing your abilities and using them for a push forward in life.  There are powerful forces at work and the energy levels are activated.  There will be a strong drive towards dominance in whatever areas of life that is involved, (the area of life is found in their house placement).  If for example these planets are found occupying the first house, you may be driven to succeed in personal matters although you may find that others become involved and they may also exert their influence in the situation.  If the seventh house is the area of influence, this aspect may not work overly well when it comes to your marriage or business partnership.  You may even have to watch out for enemies attempting to work against you in some way.  Struggles and disruptions are common and ego disputes are often the result.

Because the energies are so powerful, you will have to make sure that you find ways to shift this drive into areas that will benefit the situation.  Undercover work and solving or resolving issues can work well during this time.  Pluto’s energies are about transformation and often after careful study and digging up material that helps promote the transformation, change will surface.  The only problem with Mars being attached to these energies is that these problems can become dangerous situations and aggressive action can be a result if the energies are misdirected.  In extreme cases the potential for violence and potent arguments can erupt and cause dangerous situations, but once again only in extreme situations.

Do not be too hasty, as compulsive actions are often sparked by this conjunction.  It is advisable to stay clear of any conditions or situations that could eventually lead to disruption and violence.  Watch yourself and do not take any unnecessary chances.  The careless operation of motor vehicles is especially not advisable during this time.  Watch for anger and then the desire to leave the scene and drive away upset.  If at all possible, remain or calm down before operating motor vehicles or operating heavy machinery or when using sharp tools.

Use the energies of this transit to perform hard and tedious tasks and push yourself ahead especially when Pluto and Mars are in Capricorn.  You could excel in your occupation and receive reward for you perseverance and dominating drive, as long as you work with others and allow them to have their say.  Domination coming from both sides is quite possible during this transit.  Stand your ground but do not be pushy.

OUR BELIEFS & THEIR INHERENT TRUTH

It is within our capacity to create our perfect world.  First we must start within and then when we are familiar with our abilities to create, then we can use this tool in our daily living.  We can allow the perfect world to spread outward.  We are constantly building our futures through our expectations which we are putting into motion today and each and every day.  Tomorrow is an accumulation of all that we expect and what we believe is possible.  It is a result of where we put our energies.

It stems from deep within when we focus, believe, contemplate on varying possibilities and we stay with these thoughts.  We constantly filter out thoughts that we deem irrational or unworthy of our concentration.  Over time the beliefs we hold near and dear begin to manifest and it does not matter what these beliefs are as long as we believe and focus.  We can eventually and gradually make them a reality. 

Quite often many of our thoughts and expectations will not manifest exactly as we thought they would, even when we are consciously focusing on what we wish to manifest.  Something, however, along the same line of thought will eventually be created.  It begins from within and then materializes into our external world and usually, these things that materialize are exactly what we needed (possibly not exactly as we had envisioned).

If we find that we are not pleased with what our world appears to be, then it is time to examine where exactly our focus is?  We build on thoughts and the universe manifests and it does not analyse what we ask for; it just provides us with more.  This is why being thankful for all that life brings is so very important.  We cannot rid ourselves of things that we do not like by ignoring them.  To ignore actually gives strength because it takes focus to ignore.  If we give thanks for even the hard lessons in life and truly appreciate the valuable lessons that we have learned, we fill our life with gratitude.  If you have interaction with someone who treats you poorly, do not focus on their shortcomings.  These shortcomings are not yours to own.  Respect their lessons in life, appreciate that these lessons are not yours to learn and send them on their way with love and respect.  Everyone is doing the best that they can.

If you do find yourself slipping back into old habits and the thoughts that you catch are less than ideal, review your life to remind yourself of the blessings that are present.  Focus on all that you have right down to your freedom, your health, running water, a warm place to lay your head, a job, a meal and the list goes on.  Each of us may not have all of these but all of us have at least one of these.  A nudging voice within may argue that this sounds like fiction.  Prove that voice wrong.  Put these suggestions into practice, for a month, six months or a year.  After that time tell me that this is fiction.  You have nothing to lose and perhaps everything to gain. 

When it is said your life is in your hands, this is what is meant.  You do have control of your thoughts, of your focus and of your attitude.  We build our life through these, gradually over time.  Place your thoughts and your expectations where they can do the best work.  It is in your hand.  What focus and attitude do you choose?

AWAKEN; YOU ARE THE GIANT WITHIN

Recognizing who we are is certainly paramount to awakening.  We have to understand our true identity, which is not of an earthly nature.  Our connection with our true self begins with this understanding and being caught up in the mundane concerns of earthly living can certainly stagnate any progress, although much can be utilized from our life’s experience.

We are not our bodies.  We are not our achievements.  We are not our failures.  We are spirit unlocking in varying degrees to true awareness.  We are spirit wrapped in human form; temporarily experiencing a human existence.  We are the one that dwells within and we can unlock this door of awareness.  We do not have to wait until we move into the next level of consciousness or pass over to gain entry.  It is accessible now.

We should, however, recognize ego’s manipulation and refrain from identifying with it.  Many are caught up in this transitional stage and have a hard time seeing beyond ego’s grip.  Many actually believe that they are their ego and identify with it.  They recognize its negative influence in their lives and believe that for some reason that they do not deserve anything better.  Guilt is a by-product of ego and as long as it maintains its stranglehold, guilt accompanies our journey.

For many of us, how we live our lives is often based on guilt.  When we look down on ourselves and our qualities, we may be basing this on guilt and the feeling of lack of love.  Too many people believe ego is their only identity and more often than not ego has a negative influence not a positive one.

We can love ourselves enough to rediscover the wonderful person that resides within.  We can awaken to our true potential and allow ourselves to love self.  From there we can radiate that love outward into the global consciousness. 

We are all one consciousness aligned with source.  There are no exceptions.  We are one and we move as a whole.  Working on ourselves moves our global consciousness in one positive direction.  Accepting ourselves for who we are allows us to see the beauty within but also allows us to see the beauty that surrounds us.  Shut off the chatter of ego and experience life as we were always meant to.  We can awaken to our own perfection and in turn experience the perfection of creation.

NEW MOON IN ARIES, MARCH 28, 2017

The New Moon’s energies help to initiate plans.  The energies of the new moon allow you to plant the seeds of growth.   With the New Moon in the sign of Aries, it is a fantastic time to move ahead with these plans.  Hopefully you have prepared the garden of life for the seeds and are not tossing them on barren land.  There is a chance for these seeds that land on barren lands will grow but why not prepare for a great change through a wonderful harvest? 

Aries is the sign of action and pushing forward in a chosen direction.  It is not about assisting others, although Aries energies certainly can be used in this way.  Aries wants to pursue something that holds a special place in their own heart and is self-generated.

This New Moon in Aries is at 7 degrees so anyone with either an angle (MC, ASC, IC or DC) or a planetary link within 2 to 12 degrees can use these energies linked with these angles or planetary influences in their life now.  If you can, use these energies on something that is self-gratifying or self-initiated, as Aries wants to be the one making the decisions or needs to lead in some way.  Remember to take into consideration the house where the conjunction or the houses where these planetary link or angles are found.  The houses involved will be the areas of life that are now being activated.  You can use these energies with anything that might be linked to these houses with a great possibility of success.

Take your time even though Aries will want you to rush in.  The more you plan, the better the potential for success.  Aries tends to be aggressive in its pursuit and has very little patience.  Those that do move in haste may find that a redo is in order later on and although they may have no problem starting again down the road, the energies are in place right now and in the near future to build on anything you decide is worth following up on.

If this idea happens to be something original then the potential for success is even higher.  Of course you will have to take into consideration the overall conditions in the natal chart (aspects from other planets) and review what the potential is and the best way to go about building on the potential of this endeavour.  It may be a good time to start a business as long as you are prepared and you are not going in blind.  Anything that promotes you in personal ways can be attainable if all the energies are working in your favour.  Some other aspects may create challenges but the potential is still present.  You may just have to push a little harder.

This is the time to actually be aggressive in your quest and your following through is imperative.  Do not just sit and think about it.  You need to address this opportunity.  If by chance you find that you fall short down the road, when the opposition between the Sun and Moon arrives in 6months time, you can make adjustments or even start over again.  The actions taken now can be reviewed and altered at that time. 

Enjoy the energies and make use of them.  Success and self-motivation is highlighted now.

TRANSITING SATURN TRINE SUN IN ARIES

Transiting Saturn moves from 27 degrees in Sagittarius retrograding (back) to 21 degrees this August (2017).  Then turns direct once again and will enter Capricorn on December 22, 2017.  During this time period, Saturn will trine anyone with their Sun in Aries from about 15 degrees to the final degree of that sign.  Saturn will then be in a square to anyone with the early degrees of their Sun in Aries towards the end of this year (2017).  We will discuss the trine between the Sun and Saturn in this post.

The trine between Saturn and the Sun offers opportunities for advancement in life.  Life seems to flow a little more smooth than usual, and there will be a great ability to get things done, especially those things that are in need of completion.  This could be a time of accomplishment and the harder those with this aspect work during this time the greater the chance for recognition from authority figures.  Some may even be promoted because the extra work is noticed and appreciated.  Hard work is the hallmark of Saturn and working towards an end is what is required.

Saturn does demand attention and often brings on more responsibilities and duties but the rewards can be quite substantial.  Setting goals is a good idea and planning for the future might work out well for those with this aspect.  What they are doing with their life on a professional level is laying a foundation that hopefully will stand the test of time.  They must make sure that they are building this foundation on solid ground.

This is a time for self-promotion and putting their best foot forward.  They may be pushed by others to stand on their own without help from anyone, but they should be fine with this.  After all, they are Arian.  Watch for too much aggression in pursuits and ask superiors what they think of the ideas.  These superiors just might approve of the ideas and even help you reach some of these goals.  It can work out favourably if those with this aspect do not skip any steps, as careful planning is what is required.  Don’t be hasty; don’t rush.  It takes time to build anything worthwhile.

If these individuals are thinking about starting their own business or securing a business that they have been working on, this is also a good time for such adventures, but all of the rules mentioned above apply.  Sure and slow, prepare well and do not leave anything undone.  These individuals may find that they will receive support, perhaps even financial backing, from those in positions of authority.  Possibly their fathers or father figures may offer some help. 

All in all it is a good time to move forward in life, although these Arians have to take into consideration the overall picture suggested by their natal chart and all of the transits with influence in their chart to get a clear understanding of what the Astrology chart is saying.
