TRANSITING SATURN OPPOSITION NATAL MOON

Transiting Saturn has a tendency to make things a little difficult while it transits different houses in our charts (each house represents specific areas of life).  Saturn makes things difficult when it aspects other planets and luminaries and also when it aspects the angles and even the house cusps in our charts.  Saturn has difficult, yet valuable lessons to teach.

Transiting Saturn is now in Capricorn (as of January 2018) and is opposing the Moon.  As a result, the energies of the Moon are affected if you have your natal moon in the sign of Cancer. 

Transiting Saturn is at home in the sign of Capricorn, as Saturn is the natural ruler of Capricorn.  It works well in areas of business, careful and serious studies, as well as with certain goals in life.  These goals should be far reaching and long range goals, not goals that you wish to accomplish quickly.

When in opposition, this often signifies that other people will be involved somehow, (often the energies come from someone else or the action is initiated by someone else).  The energies are challenging and the emotions will run high. 

Moon in Cancer, as mentioned, is very sensitive but especially sensitive towards the family, the children and anyone needing to be nurtured.  If, for example, this opposition involves one of your children then you would be having difficulty protecting them or they might be challenging your authority. 

You may find that although you feel very emotional, part of you will want to control your emotions during this period.  This is not an easy task for someone with their Moon in Cancer as often you may find that you back off, when in fact you should be pushing forward.  In most cases, you should be standing your ground and do what must be done, as being strict and steadfast in your approach might be just what Saturn is requiring of or teaching you.  Remember Saturn is the teacher and the disciplinarian.

It undoubted will not be an easy lesson to learn; however, if you need to take a stand, in the long haul, it will work in your favour.  Perhaps, in the immediate moment it will not feel as though it is working too well. 

Saturn does offer rewards for conscientiousness and careful planning.  Take time to plan out the steps you need to take.  It is highly suggested that you evaluate your circumstances and plan and prepare. 

If you find that you are fighting back from an emotional standpoint, you may find yourself on the losing end of these lessons (for the time being).  Give it your best shot to react with the passion that resides in your emotional nature.  Respond in kindness and with loving affection, if the potential exists, that is.

FRIENDS AND RELATIVES

We will form many bonds throughout our lives, some short lived and others lifelong.  Those that we do become well close to and those that form part of our family can become very significant.  Some friends will mean as much or more than those in our inner family circle.  These specific people have an important role in our lives, as (usually) do most of our family members.  Each and every person that you spend time with is important within different aspects and lessons of your life.

From an incarnate point of view, many of our friends and family have come to spend valuable time with us.  We should think of this as a blessing and an honor.  These individuals have decided (along with our acceptance) to play roles in our ongoing evolutionary story.  We have chosen to come together, often after a previous incarnations together, to continue our journey with these specific people being a part of the process.  How magnificent is that? 

In past lives, it is speculated that we may have been related, or married or close friends or enemies for that matter.  This is why some specific people are just so comfortable to be with and others it takes a little work to enjoy their energies.  In some cases, we have some unfinished Karma to push through and the alignment may not be that comfortable.  However, these uncomfortable alignments are important life lessons taught in part by these individuals.  Although they may bring challenging conditions into our lives, these are often the most valuable lessons that we learn. 

Next time you have a difficult situation that must be handled, wrap your arms around the experience and realize that it is an important message that you are now ready to receive.

Although there are a few people throughout time that have very sheltered lives or that live lives of a recluse, most of us will share our lives with others and especially with those we love.  Even those that feel or believe that they should live lives that circumvent others can open the door to a greater life experience and reach out to those they may be able to give assistance to.  Sharing life brings with it marvelous experiences and close wonderful encounters that would otherwise be missed.

Recognize the importance of those around you.  Do not become complacent with these individuals.  These are significant relationships that help foster your growth. 

Enjoy this life and share it with all that step into your reality.

NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN JANUARY 16/2018

As many of our readers are aware, the New Moon is associated with the beginning of things.  It is the time to plant new seeds.  According to the sign and house position it is located in within the natal chart, this will be the area of life the energies will work most naturally with.   You can use an orb of influence of up to 5 degrees when interpreting this placement.  This New Moon on January 16, 2018 will talk place at 9:18 p.m. EST and will be located in the sign of Capricorn at 26 degrees.

The Sun and the Moon are in conjunction with one another in the sign of Capricorn at the time of the New Moon.  Capricorn is often linked to achievement and quite often associated with business and the building of a career or goals in life. 

As we enter this New Moon phase and once you have located the area of life involved (house position) specific to you, you can utilize these energies associated with Capricorn to your benefit.  These energies suggest that some hard and diligent effort will be a requirement and although the goals may soar, remember the higher we aim the greater the results.  Often we can expect to see the return from our hard work when the Full Moon is in Capricorn some six months later (in this case by June 28, 2018).  At that time, we can review and harvest what we put in place under the influence of the New Moon in Capricorn and begin to reap the rewards of our diligent work.   Alternatively, after our review, we may decide to begin again because we did not nurture the seeds that we planted (Capricorn would never quit however).  Much of what transpires at that Full Moon Capricorn harvest (in June) will be directly correlated with what we did after we planted our seeds of intension.

This New Moon as mentioned suggests hard work, and we will be required to put forth a consistent effort.  The lessons of patience, perseverance and possibly some setbacks may be part of the nurturing process.  This could involve relationships of significance especially if this configuration is tied to the ascendant or seventh house.  It could involve the home and family or occupation especially if this configuration is tied to the IC or MC.  This may tie in with orchestrated efforts in our health regimented if it is tied to the sixth or twelfth houses.  It may be tied to our finances or other people’s finances which directly affects our inner security if linked to the second or eighth houses.  Some begin love affairs or attend to social gatherings especially if tied to the fifth or eleventh houses and the list goes on.

A steadfast approach to whatever areas of life that might be involved would be necessary as this is often a requirement with Capricorn.  As mentioned earlier, do not give up or feel as though you can never move forward with what is planned.  This will only thwart what you are trying to accomplish.   Being in a state of conscious effort to promote opportunity and positivity is always recommended regardless of what we might find our focused. 

Capricorn, at times, can be negative and can expect failure or shortcomings but persistence often produces favourable results and concrete outcomes as time goes by.

Stay focused and determined.  You will reap the equivalent of your effort.  You may be gleefully surprised at the final outcome.  Never give up and stay true to yourself.

TRANSITING SATURN CONJUNCT NATAL JUPITER

Transiting Saturn has just entered the sign of Capricorn and will remain in this sign for approximately 2 ½ years.  Saturn is at home in the sign of Capricorn as this is its natural ruler.  Saturn deals with business associations and those people of authority or of expertise.  Saturn rules discipline and structure and builds solid foundations over time often after periods of challenging conditions (the “lessons”). 

Saturn in the sign of Capricorn and connected by conjunction to Jupiter could indicate added responsibilities in the working environment, although could also indicate being noticed by those in positions of authority.  If you have been meticulous at your job, you may get recognition and even the potential for an increase in wages. 

Jupiter likes to expand on things and when hard work has been applied and those in positions of power recognize it, you may also be in line for promotion.  Jupiter tends to bring with it good luck although with Saturn, it will imply hard work and often some struggles in getting recognition.  Keep working towards the betterment of your business and you can get noticed under these conditions.

Much will depend on where this conjunction takes place and a lot of what we have been talking about could come to light if the tenth house or even the sixth house is where this conjunction is located.  If we are speaking about the second house conjunction then finances although somewhat tight may slowly begin to change and saving for a rainy day would be a perfect place for this energy to pan out. 

If you happen to make a purchase you will likely be torn between being overly critical about what to buy and feeling as though you could afford most anything.  Part of you will put a dampener on this purchase and this is probably a good idea.  In the second house or eighth house, you may find that joint finances can become more secure as long as you are disciplined enough with your money.  You may also find that the finances tighten up considerably or a loss is possible.  Have a look at any aspects between these two planets in your natal chart, or other planets making connections to this conjunction both in the natal chart as well as with the transits.  This will tell the story.  The natal promise always has to be determined before you can make a correct conclusion.

Attitude and patience will be the lessons associated with this combination.  Remember Saturn always has a lesson attached to its energies and although this lesson may not be easy, its final outcome might be worth the pain (often suggested with transits of Saturn).

WHEN TIME STANDS STILL

We have heard from some people lately that they feel lost with no clear direction.  They feel as though they have nothing to strive for.  Are you waiting for something or someone to point you in the right direction?

Our journey can be challenging at times to say the least and we feel as though we may have lost our way. 

These times in our lives are the perfect time to be contemplative.  What a wonderful opportunity to reflect on where you have been and where you are now.  There is no real need to look forward during these periods.  They serve us best if we use them for reflection and review.

There are times when it is imperative to just settle into our current life’s conditions and want nothing more (......just for this moment).  When we look up from our review, we may find that a light has appeared in the distance.  There will be just enough light to light up the shadows in the dark corners of our life and we once again will feel comfortable and guided to continue on our journey.  We can never hurry the process but we can utilize the time wisely while we wait to reflect and use this period wisely.

If we choose to get caught up in the fear of nothingness, we must refocus.  It is just that simple.  By shifting the mind’s focus, we can reflect and appreciated and prepare for the next leg of our journey........that WILL come.  It is inevitable. 

Life can be SO busy and so much can happen that we did not make time to take inventory.  We shoot the rapids and spend little to no time adjusting and adapting to the subtle lessons that we learn.  These stagnant times are not meant to be wasted.  There is so much reviewing that needs to be done so that we recognize all the invaluable tools that have been passed our way. 

Observe and examine.  Take the time to look at the treasures you have been provided with.  Recognize that this quiet time is quite temporary.  Do not be mislead by reactive thoughts.  Channel your focus in an appropriate manner so that you are ready to continue your path.  Where this path leads, we are not sure but rest assured it leads to where you need to be.  Enjoy each moment and utilize what feels like stagnate times to reflect and review.  In such a short time, you will be shooting the rapids again.

TRANSITING URANUS SQUARE NATAL SUN

The square from transiting Uranus to the Sun will be experiences currently for those with their Sun in Cancer and those with their Sun in Capricorn.  Currently Uranus is at 24 degrees Aries and will remain in Aries until May 16, 2018.  It will return to Aries on November 7, 2018 and then move back into Taurus on March 7, 2019.  Those with their Sun in the latter degrees of Capricorn and Cancer (17-29 degrees) will be influenced to a great extent by Uranus during this period.

Uranus seeks out change, often through disruptive tendencies.  It requires those influenced by its energies to reach out for something new and often to engage on a different path.  When linked to the Sun, there are often personal changes on the horizon.  This could include changes to goals in life, perhaps affecting the occupation especially for those with Capricorn as their Sun sign.  There could be changes to the home and family especially for those with their Sun in Cancer and these changes would most likely be on a very personal level.

These changes might include physical changes; perhaps those influences by these energies wish to present a different image to the world.  This would especially tie in if the Sun or Uranus is closely tied to the Ascendant or Venus.  The individuals may decide to make changes in relationships of significance, especially if this square is tightly conjoined in some way to the Descendant.  They could make changes to their health regime and orchestrate new practices with the way they look at themselves.  This could include eating habits and exercise programs, especially if the sixth house or Virgo is part of the equation. 

These individuals could make changes to the way they look after their personal finances, especially if the second house is tied into the equation, or changes to joint finances if the eighth house is part of the process. 

They may aspire to move towards occult teachings and mystical practices especially if the eighth or twelfth houses are involved. 

One thing is for sure with Uranus anyone with this aspect can expect the unexpected. 

Uranus will push for change with anything that has become outdated.  Uranus usually gently pushes at first and if the nudges are not acted upon, Uranus’ can force action that would be much more disruptive compared to acting on the original gentle nudges in the beginning.  These changes are a requirement and although something may be completely adapted or faded out completely, especially if Pluto is involved, these are changes that need to be attended to.  Do not ignore what Uranus is trying to initiate.  It can be quite disruptive and unexpected in its manner of expression if these individuals are unwilling to co-operate.

After the change takes place (this could last up to a year for it to be completely over and even longer if Pluto is involved) things will not be as they were.  The shift is often complete and irreversible but these individuals will settle into the new way of life and life will be all the better because of it.  Patience is certainly a lesson associated with what we are speaking of, as is adaptability.

 

Freedom is key with Uranus.  Those affected by these energies can find affects in many areas of life. 

Have a look at where transiting Uranus is in your natal chart, as well as your natal Sun.  Also check to see where Uranus is in your natal chart to get an idea of the areas of life that will be affected.
