LOVE AND LIGHT


How important is our personal expression to the world? 

We can speak words of encouragement to others and give inspiring messages that stimulate others to push forward.  We can challenge others to push through their adversities. 

Our greatest message is communicated through love and example.  We can be the light that illuminates these examples.

Will your example to the world soften hardened hearts?

Does your influence travel far enough to reach those less fortunate and give them hope?

Does your message provide strength and encouragement for those facing darkness to provide them with finding their peace and contentment?

Open you heart and shine your light for others to see. 

Be open with you true nature. 

Can you be the conduit for love that this world so desperately needs?

MOON IN TRINE TO MARS


Mars in Astrology is reflective of our energy and drive.  Mars can be the driving force behind our achievements and always suggests action and push.  Mars, depending on what sign it is in within our chart, can be our motivating force.  Mars is our ambition and is considered masculine energy.  It speaks about our sexual expression and our urge to procreate.  When in transit, (current day location) Mars’ energies are being activated when ambitions are aroused and there is a need for aggressive force.  Mars is not only energetic it can be compulsive, forceful to the point of recklessness and is often part of the picture along with Uranus or Pluto when accidents occur or violence is experienced.

The Moon has to do with our emotional expression and our need to nurture others.  The sign position as well as the house position is important when defining our lunar expression. 

The house position is also important when we speak of Mars and in many cases this is where we place much of our energy.  The Moon is reflective of our mothering instincts and our emotional interaction and verbal exchange when linked to Mercury.  The Moon often speaks of the mother or more nurturing parent, while Mars may depict a young masculine figure.  The Moon is our instinctive response to our immediate environment.  It has been called our reigning need and is feminine in its expression.  The Moon’s sign and house position is our emotional expression to the world.

When the Moon and Mars are found together depending on sign and aspect, Mars will push our emotional expression in a vigorous manner.  In trine together, the Moon and Mars operate in a more pleasant manner although the energy of Mars will enhance the emotional expression.  Trines speak of easy flow and favourable outcomes, and this trine would suggest that the emotional release comes through actively. 

There may be a strong need to protect and manage any emotional conditions.  This individual would defend anyone who is in an emotionally charged situation if the situation were to get out of hand.  As the Moon is linked to the mother or nurturing parent, this parent may have been very protective of their children and would remain diligent in their efforts until a resolution was found.  This parent may, however, become aggressive in this interaction.  The nurturing parent would likely have no problems stepping in when they felt they were needed and their children could depend on them to make sure no one was hurt, especially in emotional terms.
The Moon trine Mars in the natal chart suggests that there would be little holding back concerning the emotional expression, although the Moon’s sign would be a determining factor.  Someone with a Moon in Aries trine the Mars may be much more aggressive in emotional expression and would say whatever is on their mind.  Alternatively someone with their Moon in Pisces would be much more reluctant with their emotional expression and would release in a much softer manner. 

The Moon in Capricorn may find emotional release through tried and tested behaviour, although this individual would be challenged in their emotional release, even appearing emotionally reticent.  The Moon in Scorpio would likely be much more forceful although still restrained in their emotional expression.

Mars has been known to be explosive in its energy release, especially if Mars is in Aries, Leo or Scorpio and can be hard to keep under wraps although in Scorpio it may fester before release. 

As mentioned earlier, Mars is also linked to our sex drive and once again much depends on the sign it is in; although in trine to the Moon, its release can be softer than let’s say if it was conjunct Pluto.  Mars in Aries, Taurus, Scorpio can be seductive (especially in Scorpio), aggressive and intrusive (especially in Aries) and romantic (especially in Taurus).  Mars and Venus together and also other aspects to this placement will play a significant role in determining our sexual expression. 

Mars and the Moon together by hard aspect can be challenging, but in easy aspect like the trine or sextile can work favourably together.

PROGRESSED JUPITER



Jupiter deals with fair play.  Its energies reflect moral and religious focuses.  Jupiter involves expansion, brings good luck and optimistic potentials.  It is the planet of growth in material terms as well as expansion when it comes to life circumstances and how you can relate to this from a positive perspective. 

When Jupiter makes positive aspects to other planets and points in the Zodiac, there are great opportunities for conditions to turn out favourably.

The house position occupied by progressed Jupiter tells the story of where you will find opportunities to gain knowledge. 

Jupiter also has to do with travel, courts of law and lawsuits.  In general, when Jupiter progresses through the chart, these or some of these areas of life may be highlighted, especially if Jupiter happens to be in the ninth house. 

Jupiter also governs publishing, higher education and learning through experience.

Each house cusp advances one degree per year through progression and Jupiter moves closer and closer until it finally moves into the next house in the progressed chart.  Jupiter moves slower than the progressed houses and it is important to notice where Jupiter is in the natal chart and the houses it moves through during progression.  These few houses (usually not more than three) will become areas of life that are affected by the progression of Jupiter in your personal chart.

You will also need to take into consideration any aspects that might come into play from the other progressed planets as well as transiting planets as they make contacts during Jupiter’s slow movement through your specific houses.

If Jupiter passes across your MC (Midheaven), the opportunities for growth in your professional life have great potential especially if Jupiter is well aspected. 

Look at the overall condition of Jupiter in your natal chart as this will determine how great the success will be.  A poorly aspected natal Jupiter does not promote in ways that a well aspected Jupiter does. 

If and when Jupiter passes over your MC, you may have opportunities for a promotion or may gain positive influence from people in higher positions.  Travel or relocation might be on the agenda during the year Jupiter sits directly on these angles.  I personally use an orb of 20 minutes for Jupiter as it approaches and 15 minutes when it separates for progression.

Progressed Jupiter on the ASC (ascendant) opens the door in very personal ways with less restrictions or obstacles for you on a personal level.  It might indicate a new relationship or expansion in the family.  Prosperity and good luck seem to find their way to you.  Since Jupiter has to do with law suits and legalities, when Jupiter is on the Ascendant or Midheaven, the potential for legal issues to go well are increased.

Jupiter on the DC (descendant) offers opportunities for marriage or opportunities to promote a new organization or affiliation with someone who can be of benefit to you in a business opportunity.

Jupiter on the IC suggests changes within the home or with family members usually on a positive note.  During this contact, it is a good time to buy real estate or your monetary values in these areas may increase. 

It is essential that you always take into consideration other transits and progression to review what they are indicating.  Also a reminder to review the overall condition of Jupiter is in the birth chart to get the indepth story.

THE NEED FOR PERSONAL SPACE YET CLOSENESS



The need for our own personal space and yet the need to be close is often a personal dilemma shared by many. 

We all need and want to be loved and appreciated.  We expand in the warmth of loved shared.  We also, however, need our own personal space and the ability to move in whatever direction we see fit. 

Many couples are confronted with this paradox. 

Are you being smothered in a tight and loving relationship?  Do you feel as though you are being cornered or contained because of this?  Or are you without a personal relationship and wish you were in one but at the same time like your freedom?

Being single or in an open relationship means that you can do what you want when you want without having answer to anyone but yourself.  This is preferred by some but offers insecurity and possibliy loneliness for others.

Being in a close personal relationship means sharing our lives with someone we love and never feeling alone.  However there will be days when we need our own space and the demands of our partner may be trying.

In a perfect world, we have a balance of both and it is achievable as long as there is give and take on both sides.  Finding someone who gives us space to live our life without obligations is pretty rare, yet if we truly love someone, we don’t mind giving up a little personal freedom in order to share.  Is true love not unconditional? 

It is essential that we are open and communication with our partner if we have chose to share this life with someone.   It is important to discuss our own personal needs, so that others know what we are experiencing.  Just as important, we should allow our partner to be open with us and respect what they need.  A partnership is equal give and take without keeping tabs. 

Spend a few minutes each day in quiet solitude even if only for a short walk, a quiet shower or a quiet meditation.  These little practices can provide personal space.  

On the other side of the coin, create special moments together such as a romantic dinner without the television or telephone interrupting.  Take a stroll through a park hand in hand. 

We can even take care of both needs….why not meditate together holding hands.  The mind has its personal space but the knowing of love can fill our heart. 

One thing is for certain, other people’s needs are important but so are our own; talk it out.

What do you do to satisfy your need for personal private time yet sharing your time lovingly with your partner/children/parents?

MERCURY CONJUNCT NEPTUNE IN THE BIRTH CHART



Mercury takes on its energies from whatever planet it touches.  It is linked to the mind and the thinking process.  When we find Mercury and Neptune tied together in the birth chart, we can automatically say that there will be a creative mind set.  This will be someone who is creative perhaps through visualization, perhaps through the written word and/or perhaps through the study of mysticism.

The mind is mystically oriented, possibly even in a religious tone, although it does not have to be religion in the traditional sense.  Neptune has a strong mystical quality to it and the imagination is inspired to learn more about what the other side looks like.  This person would most likely not be overly interested in mundane everyday activities.  There is likely a strong inclination towards understanding the unconscious and they may also be interested in dream interpretation and even magic.

This is a very creative combination and music, the arts (this can be a very wide spectrum) as well as anything that lies beneath the surface, particularly if this conjunction is found in water signs, especially Scorpio. 

The mind is very reflective and imaginative and if there are hard aspects to this configuration they could be subject to illusion and disarray.  The mind may have a tendency to not see things as they truly are, especially if there is a connection to Uranus or Pluto by hard aspect, particularly by the square. 

The house position will be very relevant in determining how this plays out as this will define what area of life is influenced.  There could be an elusive quality if this is found in the fifth house related to romantic involvement and anyone with this combination and house placement may tend to put their lover on a pedestal only to find out that they are not as they appear.  The mind, however, would be very creative as the imagination plays a big part in creativity.  One of their children may be seen as quite creative with an inspirational mind. 

If this positioning is found in the first house the creative potential is on a very personal basis and if this position is found to be in the sign of Scorpio, much may be kept private and only the subject individual may know about it. 

As you can imagine, there are many different variations by sign and house position and much can be ascertained by going deep into the natal chart to see how this might play out.  The natal chart is the road map and the route is exposed and generated through activity molded by transits and progressions.  The chart is activated through transits and progression and what is written in the natal chart will be released when activated.

Believe



As we live in the ever present moment (the here and now), we release yesterday and do not long for tomorrow.  We are open to the faith that all things will come to use as we need them.  We allow life to unfold.

You are transcendent by virtue. You will never cease to exist. You have available to you the vast stored knowledge of time itself. There are countless memories warehoused within, that lie dormant waiting for release--information generated to assist you with your voyage and support you in your times of need.

You are never alone! There are guides along the road that helps steer you towards your intended path, ever beckoning you towards your awakening to the truth. Just believe and the release of the true self begins. You are connected with the pure essence, with the whole.  Do not believe this, know it. Move forward holding hands with love, in reverence and respect for all living things.

Let the true journey begin and believe.

TRANSITING SATURN SQUARE NATAL MERCURY



When we are experiencing a square from transiting Saturn to natal Mercury, we can expect challenges with our pattern of thinking.  Much depends on the sign position of your natal Mercury but Saturn can push us towards depression, insecurities, stubbornness, delayed reactions and pessimism toward outcomes.

Mercury rules the mind and indicates the way in which we assimilate information. 

If, for example, we have Mercury in the sign of Capricorn, our mind is structured, leaning towards material or occupational concerns.  We may be focused on our ambitions and we may be slow to react due to our mind studying the material that is at hand.  We may lean towards careful planning, with a steadfast approach, rarely wavering in our belief structure.  Much will depend on how natal Mercury is aspected by other natal positions.

If there is a square from natal Saturn to our Mercury then we would weigh things out before plotting ahead.  We may be worried about outcomes, we may be pessimistic in our approach, and our first mental reaction to life events may be one of concern and doubt.  However, because the square always pushes us to find possible solutions to our problems, we may seek out ways of understanding our mind’s reaction and focus, and work on generating more positive approaches when dealing with life’s conditions.

The energies of transiting Saturn can be quite challenging to deal with.  It slows things down, sometimes to a standstill, puts up roadblocks to our objectives and seems to create difficulties to work through.  Saturn teaches us conservatism, patience and often suggests hard work and a disciplined approach is required.  Saturn is the teacher of the Zodiac and although it does challenge life’s conditions it also makes us have to work hard if we want to find resolutions to these conditions.  Saturn will make us persevere and builds endurance and eventual strength as we deal with any obstructions.

Because our topic is the transit of Saturn to natal Mercury, this specific aspect may lean towards pessimism towards reaching our goals. 

If we check our natal chart to see which house natal Mercury is in and also which house transiting Saturn is moving through, we will have a good idea of what areas of life would be involved.  If you work hard to achieve what you are trying to accomplish and do not take any shortcuts (and you can even ask someone in an authoritative position for any suggests), the chances are you will find a resolution or develop a plan to make some of your objectives reachable.  Hard work is almost always part of the process and if you give it your all and it still does not work out, at least you will find some satisfaction in knowing that you gave it your best.  You will have learned valuable lessons to move forward from there. 

If things work out then quite often after the fact things solidify and become more structured and may likely stand the test of time.

It would be wise to work diligently towards your objectives under this influence and to expect some shortcomings and potential delays, but you can accomplish much during this influence and the rewards will be of a higher quality if you do all that is required of you.
