DO NOT FORGET YOUR IDENTITY

Amidst all that goes on in a day, it is easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle and we can lose site of who we are.  We get so caught up in the “story” of our lives.  We are here to simply live and fulfill the quest of the soul.  Do not let anything dilute living now in this moment.

It is important not to lose sight of the fact that we are spirit living a human existence. 

It may sound cold and it certainly is not meant to be as we feel compassion and love are the two most important responses in life.  However, do not get consumed by human suffering and worry about what the final outcome might be.  We came from pure spirit and are part of the source whole.  We are spirit housed in physical bodies living an earthly experience and can easily forgetting our true identity.  We are spirit and in this form have a pure understanding of all things.  Leaning true love and compassion far outweighs the importance of any material gains that can be obtained while in physical form.

We are spirit, complete and whole - no missing links.  We are here to live this very moment.  This appears to be a transitional moment.  Is this moment to free mankind from control and power struggles?  Can we help mankind recognize its true quest to strive for love, peace, compassion, happiness and contentment in the moment?

It appears to be a critical point in our evolution?  Are we the forerunners of this development?  Do we hold the key to this goal?  Without ego involvement, never belittle your importance.

FORECASTS FOR THE SIGN OF LIBRA, PART II

We continue our forecast for Sun in Libra from our post on September 25, 2017. Click date to read Part I

LIBRA SUN CONJUNCT VENUS/MARS continued

Mars

Mars moves slower than Venus (Venus discussed in Part I) and will be in effect from October 23 to December 10, 2017.  It will move through the sign of Libra (and further) which will affect all those with their Sun in Libra with this conjunction. 

The energy of Mars is quite different from the energies of Venus and what might have been a casual beginning in a relationship that started during the Venus cycle can move into the next phase as Mars and its energy takes over.  The relationship can become much more sexual and the energies much more vital and enthusiastic.  It will be important to recognize that the energies of Mars can be quite explosive and at times volatile as well.

Often there is ego intrusion when Mars is involved and it is important to handle these energies constructively.  There is no benefit to arguing to prove you are right.  It is far more productive to agree to disagree and take a more friendly approach in life.  At times, however, you may feel that you need to express yourself in a more vigorous manner and even defend your rights.  Remember Libra is about justice, but peaceful resolutions are always suggested.  Under any condition, an agreeable solution can be found.

You may feel very confident about what you are saying under the energies of Mars, and you may be right and on target with what you believe you should stand up for. Remember, however, other people also have the right to have their say.  We can create problems if we feel our opinion is the only one worth listening to. 

The Sun’s energies sometimes speak of superiors.  Its energies can also speak of the father or an aggressive, young male.  Be sure you are not creating issues with such people.  Again, being right is not always the most important situation in life.  Usually, the need to be right is ego based.

During this aspect, it will be a good time to pursue your goals in life, as you will have plenty of energy to promote your ideas.  It is also a favourable time for promotion and getting recognition for your efforts.  Do not be boisterous about your achievements.  Once again watch for ego domination.  It is certainly alright to be proud of your accomplishments or ideas that you want to bring to the forefront and to promote these to your superiors.  Some with this aspect will get recognition at this time and even see promotions or advancement in their pay and duties, especially if the MC or Saturn is also involved.

There is a lot of energy attached to this conjunction between Mars and the Sun.  The conjunction represents the molding of these energies and can enhance them.  Mars, as mentioned, can be quite volatile and although this is often not the unquestionable rule, it is wise to operate machinery with care and also to drive carefully during this conjunction.  Rushing is not advised, as accidents have been known to happen with these extreme energies.  This is not to say that you are accident prone but take your time and relax as much as you can. 

DO NOT read this and start worrying over this conjunction.  There would have to be other mitigating factors at work in your chart repeating the same potentials for the less desirable energies of this aspect to be worrisome.  We simply give a warning so that everyone can be vigilant to reduce risks.

FORCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL

It is with a heavy heart that we have watched and listened to all that has transpired on the numerous islands and the state of Florida and north as a result of Hurricane Irma, the other hurricanes that followed, the earthquakes in Mexico, etc.  Countless people have lost their homes, their belongings, have been displaced and even worse have lost loved ones because of these events.

 

Some question why. 

So many have stepped up to the plate and have offered assistance in varying forms to these areas and their people. 

It can be very trying facing Mother Nature as well are the varying other forms of storms of life.  How do you pick up the pieces and move on?

In monetary ways, we pull together and rebuild our lives after such tragedies in one way or another, but the memories of the events are not soon forgotten.  Many will rebuild but once the physical life is back to normal, many, many people will struggle with the emotional scars left behind.  The emotional trauma can be much more difficult to move beyond.  Some come through feeling blessed for having survived; others come through with great emotional scars. 

In reality, all we ever have had and all we ever will have is this particular moment.  We must remember to live in this moment.  This can be a challenge but if we want to truly live, there is no choice.  We can get caught up in the past or worry about the future which leads to struggles with which we have no control.  Attitude once again, plays the most significant role in how we move forward.

Our hearts and positive thoughts are with all of those who have been touched and are still being touched by these events.  It is our hope that you come through this even stronger than previously.  It is amazing how these types of events can pull people together.  The generosity of others will help the physical conditions.  We are one people without borders.  What one experiences, on some level, we all experience.

2017 FORECASTS FOR LIBRA, PART I

This forecast is focused on those individuals with the Sun in the sign of Libra, and is also good reference material for those who have dealings with Libra individuals and for those with an interest in the continued education of Astrology.  It is important to take into consideration all signs, planets, houses, etc. when concluding on specific character traits of those born under the sign of Libra (or any other sign for that matter).  The whole chart must be reviewed to get a clear and full understanding of any individual.

With this in mind, Libra individuals are generally motivated to being social and are interactive with others.  They are cooperative and are always looking for ways to create peace and harmony in what surrounds them.  They can be diplomatic and outspoken when the need arises but in general are quite amiable and tend to wish for fairness in life.  They seek the middle ground and will often present two points of view (both sides of the story) if there is any opposition.  They move from one solution to another so as not to make waves.  This can often creates strife with those involved on one side or the other of a debate. 

Life does need guidelines, and Libra, being focused on justice, represents what could be called fairness and equality for all those that are touched by life’s circumstances.

LIBRA SUN CONJUNCT VENUS/MARS/JUPITER

Venus moves into the sign of Libra on October 15, 2017.  Mars moves into the sign of Libra on October 23, 2017 and Jupiter remains in Libra until October 11, 2017. 

Those with their Sun in the early degrees of Libra will be experiencing these conjunctions to Venus and also to Mars, while those with their Sun in the later degrees of Libra will be experiencing the conjunction to Jupiter.  The distance between transiting Venus and transiting Mars is too wide of an angle to be conjunct one another, but could indirectly affect those within a 5 – 8 degree orb of both planets.  Some Astrologer give as much as a 10 degree orb of influence but those not in tune to the energies of life may not feel a 10 degree orb.

Venus

The Sun will conjunct Venus into early November and the Sun and Venus together is usually a favourable combination.  It can indicate social affairs and gathering with people potentially discussing such things as marital plans and social functions.  In most cases, these gatherings are friendly and filled with warmth and affection.  These are generally peaceful gatherings and yet can also focus on business.  If business related, you may be setting up current or future plans that would be very beneficial for all involved.  The meetings are usually amiable, and a positive agreement is often a by-product of such productive gatherings.

This is also a time when love relationships seem to surface.  This could include a new romantic involvement or in connection with one that already exists.  There is an apparent feeling associated with the union that seems cordial and friendly and there is no telling where these relationships can go under these pleasant conjunction energies.  If there are feelings that need to be shared, this is the ideal time to do so. 

Love is in the air and friendship can move to the next level.  This is an ideal time for the affections to be brought out into the open.  Much does depend, however, on what the rest of the chart is saying as mentioned at the beginning of this post.  To reiterate, we are simply focusing on just the energies of link between these planets.

We will continue our forecast of the Mars and Jupiter aspects for Libra on September 27, 2017.

SUN IN LIBRA - SEPTEMBER 23, 2017

The Sun moves into the sign of Libra on September 23, 2017.  It has just left the conscientious, meticulous sign of Virgo and now moves into a much more moderate energy.  Libra’s energy is compromising and works in diplomatic ways to create peace and harmony.  Libra is a balancing sign.  Many people believe it to be a balanced sign, but this is not the case.  Peace and harmony are key to Libra finding balance and Libra will go to extremes to create this for themselves and others.

Libra is a very social sign and is intellectual.  These individuals love a good debate, although it will moderate the conversation if things tend to seem out of balance.  Libra is the peacekeeper of the Zodiac and will take great measures to uphold this even if it means taking both sides of an issue.  This can create problems but regardless, Libra will work tirelessly towards its peaceful objective. 

Libra individuals also carry out the duties of judge as they do not only need balance they also need justice.  Under these circumstances, this will be a time that they are willing to cross the line and make judgements towards what they believe is right and wrong whatever the case may be.

Libra is ruled by the planet Venus which represents loves, beauty and elegance.  They are refined in their nature and come across as gentle and kind individuals.  They bend with the flow sometimes easily, especially if there are a lot of mutable planetary influences in the natal chart.  For those individuals with a heavy Libra influence in their chart, their home is often lavishly furnished, and elegance is more important than comfort.  This is reflected in their dress, their automobile and their home furnishings, if it is at all feasible.  There even will be times when money does not matter as much as being surrounded by elegance.

As mentioned, these individuals are social creatures and they can be a great friend and wonderful companion.   When in love, they often marry young and in some cases get married several times trying to find the perfect partner.  Partnership is extremely important and many Libra individuals do not feel whole unless engaged in a meaningful relationship. 

There is also a love of entertainment and they will work tirelessly to create the perfect surroundings, including food and activities which will be coupled with fun.  They can be very enjoyable to be around and often come across as sociable and make great conversation even with those that they are not familiar with.  These individuals are diplomatic, gracious hosts and more often than not, they are extraverts.

There will be people who will not agree with these character traits because they know a Libra that does not display these characteristics.  It is important to take the whole chart into consideration when speaking of someone’s characteristics.  The Sun sign is the inner person only seen by those close to the individual.  We, in general, show our Rising or Ascendant sign to the world.  For example, you may have a Libra Sun.  On an internal level, you would have these characteristics, but you may have several planets either in Aries or Scorpio or Capricorn.  If, for example, your rising (Ascendant) sign is Capricorn, you have four planets in the first house and Moon and Mars are in Scorpio, your Libra characteristics would be greatly watered down and would be overpowered by these other more dominant signs’ energies.  It is always important to take into consideration all the variables within the whole horoscope.  What we are presenting are the standard characteristics of Libra without influence by any other sign.

FALL EQUINOX (MABON)

This year, 2017, the Fall equinox falls on September 22.

The fall equinox (equal division of day and night) is also called Mabon.  It is a time to celebrate the reaping of the rewards of our hard labour and gathering the harvest. The Fall equinox is a time of reflection on the harvest of our achievements.  It is often considered a time of change. It is linked to the sign Libra (which the Sun enters Libra on September 23, 2017) which above all else is a balancing sign. The balance we strive for is the knowledge of what to hold on to and what to let go of.

We now reap the rewards of our labours and if we have not sown the seeds of life in the manner we feel we should have, we may have to sacrifice some goals because of these shortfalls and count our losses.

Astrologically, the Fall equinox represents a balancing point between our self-image and any disapproval we may have with our view of ourselves. This is a perfect time to reflect on our goals for our life’s quest and the conquests in our lives. This review will assist us in recognizing our abilities and true selves.

The spring equinox is linked to the sign Aries and Aries begins things and initiates action. These two points (spring and fall equinox) are known as cardinal points. The cardinal points in the horoscope are known as action points. They are used as timing devices and lead to activity, drive, ambition, and involvement. During these two cycles, we should consider it a time of action -- either related to the start of something or the end or culmination point of whatever action we have already taken.  These two equinoxes can be compared to the Full Moon and the New Moon and their symbolism of planting and harvesting.

It is a time to actively pursue a course of action, to take control of our lives and push forward in the direction of our choice. Again, Cardinal signs are action oriented and strive for activity that is often personally initiated. This will be the time to make things happen. Do not wait for or rely on others to get the ball rolling.

This is an annual reminder to push ahead or count our blessings and our losses.  Use the energies of the equinox to push forward.  Make the changes needed and address any situation that needs addressing.  This is not the time to play ostrich so to speak.  The time has come to move beyond any stagnated stages of life that have held us back.

Now is the time to reap the rewards after a busy season of planting the seeds and nurturing growth.  Enjoy the fruits of your labour.
