WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?

Specific monetary and material goals can become a fixation for some people.  They strive to monetarily achieve and often can become obsessive and relentless in their pursuit.  Material abundance or financial success becomes their sole objective and some individuals will stop short of nothing to achieve what they set out to do.

Financial security is not wrong or evil as some would want us to believe.  We currently do live a material existence and comfort and enjoyment are all part of this experience.  Unfortunately, for many financial rewards and positions of power only serve to pad their feelings of superiority and accomplishment. 

For many there is an excitement of accomplishing these material goals but an unhealthy relationship with money can lead us to believe that the more money provides happiness but far too often the financial rewards of “happiness” are short lived as are the feelings of security for some.  Nothing seems to satisfy the hunger for more and they are never satisfied for long.  This is when the drive for security becomes an obsession.

We can have a healthy relationship with money but for those who become obsessed, material success often comes with a steep price, (often at the expense of family relationships and the ability to truly live for anything other than increasing the bottom line). 

For those that have climbed the corporate latter, and when the time comes to retire, do they lose their identity and purpose?  Are their efforts soon forgotten by the corporation?  Does it matter?

During the accent of the corporate latter, many have mentioned a period of when nothing seems to satisfy them and an empty void was experienced that nothing in their lives seemed to fulfill.  This can be a lonely and empty place where gratification and happiness just cannot be found.  Perhaps this is when we begin to realize that material gain just isn’t enough.  We begin to look beyond this focus.  We begin to realize that happiness cannot be purchased.  We realize that happiness is an attitude.  We begin to realize that we can work towards security but we cannot make this effort the sole purpose of living. 

We certainly live in a material world and have come into this life to learn from each lessons we experience here.  Find security in whatever form it is representative to you. 

Be sure that your goals include the ability to feed your hunger to experience, to grow, to love, to be truly happy.

PLANET IN ITS OWN HOUSE

A planet in its own house such as Jupiter in the ninth house, (the ninth house is naturally ruled by Jupiter), is almost as strong as having a planet in its natural sign, such as Jupiter in Sagittarius.  A planet is at home in its natural house position and its energies are comfortable and expressed well there.  Of course, the aspects have an influence on this but if the aspects are more positive or easy flowing ones then the energies will be easily released.

It is important to take into consideration the house a planet is located in as this helps to define how the energies will be released and expresses what areas of is involved.  Having a planet in its own sign and also in its natural house position (Jupiter in Sagittarius and found in the 9^th house) will be very strong and the energies of Jupiter (expansion, good fortune, optimism and favorable outcomes) would have great opportunities to be released in a positive manner when a transiting planet makes an aspect to this placement and energizes the natal potential. 

The energies of the transiting planet as well as the aspects it makes will of course have to be explored; however, even when a challenging aspect or difficult planetary energy makes contact to the planet, the potential for a positive outcome is very high.

Having the Sun in Leo, for example, in the fifth house, would suggest that this individual is very self-expressive, probably has abilities either in the performing arts or through their creative expression and would undoubtedly have the best interests of others in mind, especially their children and lover.  The ability to move ahead in their endeavours and the opportunity to reach their goals would be enhanced. 

If, for example, Saturn was in square to this position (in our example) and in the second house, this individual would probably have to work a little harder at reaching these objectives, but would still likely reach these goals, and in turn potentially creating more inner stability and potential of making a good earn as well.  Their creative expression would be enhanced and they would easily sell themselves to others in a favourable manner.

Do you have planets in their natural house placement in your Astrology chart?

SOUL OR FINAL DISPOSITOR PATTERN

The final Dispositor in Astrology is basically the chain of command. One planet, sometimes two planets, rules the chart. If there is a planet in its own sign, for example, Saturn in Capricorn, it becomes the final Dispositor or chief in command.

The Dispositor pattern is determined by the planets in the signs. For example, start with the Ascendant and for this example, we will use Sagittarius as the rising sign (Ascendant). With this example (Sagittarius as the rising sign), the rising sign or Ascendant is ruled by Jupiter (the natural ruler of Sagittarius), Jupiter is in Aries and so Aries natural ruler is Mars. Mars is in Scorpio and Scorpio is naturally ruled by Pluto. Pluto is in the sign of Leo and Leo rules the Sun. The Sun is in Aquarius and Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. Uranus is in the sign of Cancer and Cancer is ruled by the Moon and the Moon is ruled by Scorpio bringing the ruler back to Pluto.  In this situation so far Pluto (which is in Scorpio is in its natural rulership) is the Soul Dispositor.

We have not yet touched on Venus which is in Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter and Jupiter is in Aries ruled by Mars. We have already followed that route which brought us to Pluto.

We have not touched on Saturn which is in Libra ruled by Venus which is ruled by Sagittarius going back again to Jupiter and following that same route to Pluto.

We have not touched on Neptune which is ruled by Venus and Venus is in Sagittarius bring us back to Jupiter and ending that cycle to Pluto.  As you can see, Pluto is the common denominator and will be the final Dispositor in our example.

If we used another example such as Saturn is in Libra and Venus is in Capricorn these planets are in mutual reception (Libra rules Venus and Saturn rules Capricorn).   These two planets will be very significant in the person’s life. Having these two planets in each other’s signs stop the chain of command and makes them both very significant in the chart.

If planets are in their own sign in a chart, for example Saturn in Capricorn, the examination goes no further and this becomes the final Dispositor. Sometimes there are two interplanetary links that constantly come to the forefront.  In this case, both of these planets are extremely important in the birth chart and together they share the rulership of the Astrology chart.

The ruler of the Ascendant is also been called the ruler of the chart, and its planetary ruler is of extreme importance as well.  For example, Sagittarius as an ascendant will make Jupiter extremely important in the life of this individual.  

If Libra were the rising sign, then Venus would be very important for this individual.  

Remember that the ascendant sign is how we relate to the world.  It is our outside expression and the individual with Libra rising would then be very social, very pleasing to meet, would seek harmony and balance in their life and would resonate in this way to those that they meet especially during their initial contact.

The final Dispositor is the planet which other planets depend on and this planet will have a profound effect in the individual’s life.  In the example we used at the start of this post, Pluto will play a prominent role in the unfolding of this individual but so will Mars as the co-ruler.  Jupiter in Aries will also play a significant role in this individual’s unfolding.  As a result, these two planetary links provide the needed stimulus to propel this individual forward in reaching their life’s objectives.

Follow your chain of command and see which planet or planets affect you in a direct and creative manner.  This will be the driving force and motivating factor in your life.

The final Dispositor pattern is known as the Dispositor Tree.

WHAT ARE YOUR TRUE COLOURS

Do you adjust your face to the world to fit what you think is expected of you by others in any given situation?

Are you comfortable with a chameleon type lifestyle? 

Are you comfortable showing your own true colours? 

The human race has flourished due to its ability to adapt.  We all adapt to our life conditions to survive.  To feel that it is necessary to adapt our persona to different situations in life, however, is unrelated to our physical survival.  This only serves to please others.  Through experience and self preservations many of us have learned that the only way we can feel perfect in our own skin is to wear it with confidence and pride.  After all, the best person we can be is the exact person we truly are. 

If you disapprove of a characteristic, you don’t have to own it.  See it for what it is and then let it go.  It does not define you.  The energy of love within is the true energy of self.  All the rest are only learned characteristics. 

Let your true colours shine through (just as Cyndi Lauper once sang).  Be yourself.  You surely will be happy and comfortable with the outcome. 

Your life becomes a reflection of your thoughts and focus.  Encourage growth; focus on the positive, be grateful and be genuine to yourself!

TIGHT ASPECTS IN ASTROLOGY - PROGRESSIONS

We are continuing our look at tight aspects in Astrology from August 8, 2018 (Natal aspects) and August 13, 2018 (Transit’s aspects).  Today, we are winding up our look as tight aspects by focusing on progressions.

We reiterate that when deciphering a chart whether this chart is a natal chart, a transit, a progression, a solar, a composite or any type of chart for that matter, it is important to consider specific points of interest.  The planets or significant points (Ascendant, Midheaven and to a lesser degree the IC and DC) closely joined to one another by aspect are points of interest and should be noteworthy. 

When it comes to progressions the unfolding of events is quite similar to transits, although many progressed aspects often come from an internal perspective and may not actually manifest in the external world.

 

The progressed Sun has an orb of influence of three degrees, one and a half degrees approaching and one and a half degrees separating.  This means that its impact will last approximately three years.   Its most powerful influence is when it is within thirty minutes of being direct and the closer to being direct the stronger its energies will be. 

The progressed Moon has a three degree influence as well, one degree approaching, one degree direct which is the peak energy and one degree separating.  The progressed Moon moves one degree each month while the progressed Sun moves one degree each year.  As a result the progressed Moon will be in effect for a total of 3 months.

As mentioned in our earlier post, the transits of the Sun, Mars and Uranus act as timers.  This also applies to the progressed Moon.  These luminaries and planets will help initiate events when transits are in place.  Many transits (an example might be transiting Pluto squaring natal Venus still off by half a degree of being direct) can be set off by as much as half a degree before being direct by these transits.

In comparison, when deciphering a progressed aspect to the natal positioning, many Astrologers use a 12 to 15 minute approach to being direct.  This is due to the slow movement of the progressions, particularly the outer progressed planets.  I would suggest that you only take in to consideration a five minute angle when speaking in terms of the outer planets in progressions. (Outer planets being Saturn through Pluto)

A natal aspect becoming direct using progressions and the exact timing when it becomes direct either moving from retrograde to direct or direct to retrograde over the precise position in the birth chart is also very important.  Remember to take into consideration that one day in the progressed chart equals one year of actual time.  The natal potential can unfold during these times. 

An example of this might be a natal sextile becoming direct with Neptune and Pluto having a profound effect in the month or several months leading up to when if forms an exact sextile.  It might be out by as much as 2 degrees in the birth chart but when it becomes direct through progression it is emphasized and can have profound effects.

There are many multi layers that must be examined when translating the story an Astrology chart is telling.  What we have touched on in these three posts on aspects is only scraping the surface.

INTUITION

Intuitive guidance can be utilized at any time if you are open to the message.  It has no prerequisite.  Intuition could be called the voice, the seeing, the smell, the touching, the tasting, the understanding of the unconscious.  In most cases it is subtle but in some cases it speaks clearly and concisely.  These are the times we cannot question its validity.

Intuition can come as a warning, can contain needed information and can be counted on.  It provides insight when you cannot find the answers with our rational mind.  It is available when you need it most if we quiet the babbling mind.  Intuition is a profound tool at our disposal, although it is rarely forceful.  We can utilize the information (in whatever form) that comes to us or we can allow is to pass us by.  It is a choice.

The mind will continually question information obtained intuitively.  It will question its validity most always.  We will instinctively know or feel that the information we receive is truth.  Our gut will tell us so.  Sometimes we can be so wrapped up in events that the information go by with little notice and we will recall, after the event is over.  It is then that we wish we had listened to that “hunch”. 

When the situation is dangerous, intuition can be anything but subtle.  The message can be very pronounced.  The more you pay attention to your intuition, the clearer the messages will become and the easier it is to recognize their importance.

Let your intuitive insight be your guiding. Recognizing that it stems from your higher self, and it can always be relied upon. 

Intuition is your guiding companion.
