WHAT ARE WE HERE TO LEARN?

 There are times that each of us questions the reasons behind our existence.  What exactly are we here to do?  What are we here to learn? Why are we here at all? 

 

What we are here to do is precisely what we are doing!  What we are here to learn is an ongoing process through our daily experiences.  Simply stated, we are to learn about life through our experience of life.

 

This experience includes, first and foremost, love and then happiness, peace, and tranquility.  We are here to learn about love, compassion, love and forgiveness.  Did I mention LOVE?  We are here to passionately encounter new and exciting experiences, simply by being and by loving. 

 

We are here to capture life’s essence and then set it free.  We are here to share our life through relationships, through communication, through selfless acts, through mindfulness, by living in the moment. 

 

We are here to learn about our abilities, as well as our reaction to life itself.  We are here to live and to simply be.

 

We are here to share our life and to feel pain, to feel sorrow, to experience anguish, to experience life even through its ugliest expression, sometimes through the pain of others and sometimes through our own pain.  We are here to experience feelings of anger, even vindictive reactions.  We cannot understand anything if we have not experienced it.

 

We are here to experience loss, death, sadness and for some unmentionable horrors.  We are here to grow from these experiences and to rise above them.  We are here to find strength through adversity and appreciate our blessings through the contrast.

 

We are here to share our life, to express ourselves, to know others but especially to understand ourselves.  We are here to discover, to have visions, to experience life through all of our senses.  We are here to develop and grow from the experience of all of life’s expressions. 

 

We are here to allow love and to know the feeling of being loved.  We are here to grow into ourselves and at times make massive discoveries through the challenges of life and our own innate fortitude.  We are here to discover our strength and endure our hardships.  We are here to grow as individuals and find and connect with our true spiritual selves.

 

We have come into this life, at this particular time, in this precise moment to serve our real purpose as proverbially written in our personal book of life.  Its pages are written by life’s experience and formulated for us to get a clearer understanding of self and what true love is.

 

Experience your personal experience.  Share it! 

 

Celebrate life and each and every lesson that comes from its experience. 

 

Get moving.....you have a lot of loving, living and learning to do.

FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE MAY 26, 2021

 We have experienced a Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse today, Wednesday, May 26, 2021, Penumbral began at 4:47 am, full eclipse began at 7:11 a.m., full eclipse ended at 7:25 a.m. and Penumbral ends at 9:45 a.m. EST.  In the Toronto area, the actual full eclipse will be below the horizon but the Penumbral beginning was visible.  It is found in the sign of Sagittarius at 5 degrees and 26 minutes. This eclipse lasts a total of 5 hours and 2 minutes but the full eclipse will last 14 minutes. 

 

For this eclipse to have an effect in your chart, you will need to have planets within 3 degrees of 5 degrees Sagittarius (2 degrees to 8 degrees).  The conjunction, opposition and square will have the strongest impact, while the trine and sextile will have an influence but not as profound. 

 

The position of natal planets or angles to this degree and within three degrees and how they tie in with other planetary aspects or angles will tell the story regarding your personal life and the influence you will experience. 

 

Lunar eclipses are said to last in months the duration of the eclipse in hours (some individuals, however, say the effects of this event can last as long as one year).  This eclipse, being in the sign of Sagittarius, a fire sign and its ruling planet being Jupiter, suggests that this will be a time of opportunity for expansion and growth unless poorly aspected in the natal chart by Saturn which makes this a little more challenging.  Jupiter offers up opportunities for travel, enlightenment in many levels and often good luck.  The area of life is determined by the house under its influence by this eclipse degree.

 

The lunar eclipses always have deeper influences.  On a social level regarding the masses, it shows the mindset due to information coming through at that time.  If any planets cross the degree especially by conjunction, they will stir the energies connected to the eclipse.  Mars by conjunction or opposition and the Sun will particularly add to these energies while Saturn will often end situations, if Saturn is in play that is.  Mars will often spur major happenings if making contact.  This speaks primarily of the duration of this eclipse which lasts about one month. 

 

Eclipses bring change.  A Full Moon Lunar eclipse is a time to purge and let go of things that no longer suit life’s circumstances.  It is a culmination point when we begin to take note of what has been in place and move to the next level.  We often reap what we have sown.  Careful consideration should be taken before we plunge into action or on the contrary, consideration of the actions we need to take as we may in the past been avoiding deciding and therefore no steps have been taken.  Do not forget we are speaking of the energies of Sagittarius and the planet Jupiter.

 

Some individuals fear eclipses.  In many cases, eclipses foster change, but these changes are needed and should be considered essential.

 

Enjoy the energies at hand, and unless you have other mitigating factors in your natal chart connected to this positioning, you may find it has little impact on your life.  Each individual chart will vary.

NEPTUNE RETROGRADE

 The outer planets remain in retrograde for longer periods than the inner planets.  When Neptune goes retrograde in the later part of June (June 25, 2021) those that have Neptune in retrograde in their birth charts will experience its affects likely more than those without it in retrograde in their birth charts. 

 

Those that have Neptune stationary in their birth chart will be more powerfully affected. “Powerfully” may not be the appropriate word as Neptune’s energies operate in very subtle ways.  Its influences are felt often through intuitive channels and the unconscious mind. 

 

In direct motion, Neptune often suggests cloudiness with our reasoning, potential deception or we may not be facing facts.  In its higher representation it suggests idealism.  It also could suggest a romantic involvement often associated with an idealistic view of the partner or situation.  It is also linked to artistic abilities coming to the surface. 

 

Neptune is linked with fantasy and visions while in direct motion, but its energies turn to reality and dealing with the actual facts when in retrograde.  Openheartedness and level-headedness linked to common sense are terms that could also be associated with Neptune’s retrograde cycle energy.

 

Since Neptune deals primarily with the mystical and spiritual side of our consciousness, during the time when Neptune is retrograde, you may find that you realize more concrete solutions or answers to questions pertaining to these pursuits (seeing things as they are).  This applies particularly to those with Neptune retrograde in their birth charts. 

 

Look to see which house Neptune is transiting through during this cycle and look where Neptune is located in your birth chart for specific areas of life. 

 

Neptune’s retrograde cycle is approximately 150 days in length, and it spends about 14 years in each sign.  Its return cycle is approximately 165 years, so we never experience its return in our lives.  About 40 percent of people have Neptune retrograde in their birth charts.  As a result, Neptune’s retrograde energies are quite common.

 

When Neptune is in its direct cycle, there can be a cloudiness about life, depending on how it is aspected in the birth chart.  There may be deception and deceit or often illusion and disarray when it comes to seeing things as they are.  When Neptune turns retrograde, it becomes more genuine and more lifelike as Neptune can be illusionary when direct.  It is more reliable, and life becomes more real although what you see, at times, may not be all that pleasant when in retrograde.  There can be a real feeling of let-down after a period of feelings of idealism and wonder, but the truth is what we want, regardless of how it may look.  Because of Neptune’s influence, when we view the world as it is, a part of us still wants to see it through rose coloured glasses.  There is the unrealistic hope under this retrograde influence that what we see might just vanish; but it will not, and we have to face facts. 

 

Life becomes more practical and realistic with the retrograde cycle, and this can also include “visions” that are real.  This can also include mystical understanding that is also real and identifiable. 

 

Neptune retrograde is not a bad thing.  Neptune retrograde is clear truth in a broad scope.

NEW ROAD AHEAD

We are always travelling a crossroad, learning from specific experience.  We have reached a fork yet the path ahead is still unclear.  Let’s not forget, however, we have travelled a great distance since this specific journey began. 

 

It has been a rough and rocky road up to this point and in many countries, their journey is far from over. 

 

It is wonderful to see the nations that are on the mend reaching out to assist those that are going through great challenges.  Many countries (and we as individuals) have shown us without judgement that we are certainly all one (all experiencing the same storm yet all experiencing this storm in our own vessel).  Because we are one, what one does affects the whole. 

 

There is no denying that life has been turned upside down in many ways and regardless of your take on the pandemic, we all share in its unfolding.

 

What lessons have been taught to the world at large?

 

What lessons have you been taught on a personal level? 

 

What can we do in our own little corner of the world to bring us all closer together and help us think in terms of the whole?

 

Under such unusual circumstances surely there have been important lessons for everyone.  Surely, we have not walked this road in vain.  I personally believe that brotherhood or should I say, personhood, is asking for awareness.  Society is calling out for help.  Our world is primed for an awakening and has been for some time, but not enough was done to complete the process.  Has the universe interjected? 

 

This is most certainly a valuable lesson. 

 

Continue to move forward.  Do not falter or revert back. 

 

We must leave the past behind and venture into the unknown.  This unknown holds an opportunity for growth and expansion in the best possible manner that suits us as individuals, but also enhances and pledges to initiate what is required for us all, as a whole, to move forward. 

 

What is your part in the process?

SUN IN GEMINI MAY 20, 2021

 On May 20, 2021, the Sun moves from the fixed, earth sign of Taurus (which has a lot to do with the building of a foundation that stands the test of time) into the mutable, air sign of Gemini.  If you were to follow the process built through the Sun in Taurus into the sign Gemini, what you have been working on and building over time now can be shared and the knowledge you gained through the hard work and preparation required is now ready for application and for use in daily life.  This would be the natural process of the Sun.

 

Gemini is a versatile and adaptable position for the Sun and has a yearning for knowledge and loves to share this information with others.  Gemini is ruled by the planet of expression, Mercury; and Gemini individuals know how to speak their mind.  They are intellectual and are always looking for more information to add to their reservoir of knowledge.  They are the “learners” of the Zodiac.  They are also the teachers of the Zodiac, although teaching is shared on many levels with different Sun signs.

 

Geminian people can be witty and fun to be with and never run short of ideas and are ever ready to move to the next phase of learning.  They are interested in themselves and the world at large.  They are able to dig up information that might be controversial or factual. 

 

As a quick forecast and since the outer planets always have the greatest impact in our lives, we will discuss in short some of the influences that Pluto will have on the typical Gemini.  Pluto, being the most powerful energy, is now in the sign of Capricorn at 26 degrees.  Pluto will be making an inconjunct or quincunx to those with their Sun in the later degrees of Gemini.  Quincunxes speak of adjustments and often indicate some challenging conditions to overcome. 

 

Depending on which house your Sun is located in within your birth chart and the house that transiting Pluto is moving through, as well as where you natal Pluto resides, these areas of life will need alignment on some level.  There may be power struggles to overcome and the path ahead and some goals in life may have to be altered.  Because Pluto is so dynamic and often points towards a total transformation, what you may experience can be a total shift into a new direction that will likely be difficult because the change is so finite. 

 

Pluto’s orb of influence can be felt up to five degrees approaching and will still have lingering effects up to 2 degrees after being direct.  As Pluto is in its retrograde cycle at the time this post was written, watch for it passing over the same degree again when it moves back into its direct motion in October, 2021.  You may have had this influence in your life for at least a year depending on the degree of your Sun in Gemini and may still have effects for another couple of years.  The energies are the strongest when they are direct and sitting right on your natal Sun’s position.

LOVE AND LIFE

We are one.  We each co-existing within the framework of our consciousness and are always connected with our pure essence.  Our sacred unity with our source is also a connection with all that is.  We should live in harmony with all of life.

 

We develop this unity as we mature into ourselves reaching ever further into our most intimate being.  We are spirit dwelling momentarily in an earthly vehicle.  We are not our bodies.  We are not our thoughts.  We are eternal beings.  We explore to understand our essence.  We join our energies to help coordinate a universal movement of pure love.

 

Our essence resonates on an internal level but reveals itself through an ongoing process to those that are ready to experience its existence.  Remaining open to this eventual awakening, releases our bondage to material concerns.  It is within our grasp to realize our true objective and help facilitate the ongoing awakening taking hold in our world.  We are the facilitators of peace, of love.

 

We are to open our hearts to resonate the love that is our core and in so doing, we awaken the same in others.  We are not segregated or separate from each other.  We all share this life together regardless of distance and we are molding a future for the next generations.

 

We are the creators of peace and the conduits of love, regardless of our earthly condition or what we experience through media and other external influences.  It is not hopeless unless we allow this expression to exist in our mind.  These are the early days of the evolution.  We are the pioneer.

 

Keep the processes moving forward regardless of obstruction and challenges that lay before us.  We must push forward in the face of adversity. 

 

Teach by example and be the light for others.  Find your true essence simply by living within its framework. 

 

You are the light.  You are joined by the light of others. 

 

Love is your essence and sharing is your purpose.  Live it; be it and above all else, believe it!

TRANSITING NEPTUNE SQUARE THE SUN

If your Sun is either in the sign of Gemini or Sagittarius and in or around the 20 degree position, you have had or are experiencing transiting Neptune squaring your Sun. Neptune may have been in square to your Sun, depending on the degree of your natal Sun, for up to a couple of years and I imagine on occasion that you have been struggling with these energies and likely getting a little fed up with uncertainty in life. You may have felt somewhat lost and in search for some answers for some time  Although previous to this sun contact to Neptune you might have felt in control of your destiny, you are probably wondering if things will ever clear up.

 

You may have or are experiencing a time of bewilderment in connection with your work which is in a state of flux and goals may seem to be out of reach.  Illusive could be a word that fits the time while Neptune is making this square. You may feel as though you have lost your bearings and even feel unsure of who you are and where your place is in the world. Part of you may feel as though it is useless to even pursue anything out of fear of failure or defeat. You may feel depressed and disillusioned even unsure of what reality looks like. This can be a trying period and forcing yourself to see the positive may be quite challenging under this influence.

 

Neptune in transit can be felt as far away as 5 - 7 degrees as it approaches by some more sensitive individuals but will slowly fade away as it gets 2 – 3 degrees past direct.

 

Recognizing Neptune’s tendency to keep things out of focus can help you to understand the forces at work in your life. Life can be vague and unclear, and all this uncertainty will make you reach further within for some comfort and solace. Centering yourself and building an inner core is part of the process during this time, even though it may not feel this way.

 

This is a particularly good time to reach out to mysticism and the psychic connections, because although goals and life’s direction may be off somewhat, the mystical channels can open for you, especially if you have other links in your natal chart that identify these latent traits that can now surface. Between the two Sun signs (Gemini and Sagittarius) Sagittarius might be open to such energies while Gemini might not be willing to go the extra mile to open the mystical door. There is some restlessness in both signs but particularly so with Gemini.

 

Above all else, your inner sense of self requires nourishing and a focus on positive energy during this cycle in your life. Steer clear of any self-defeatist attitudes and do not run away from any problems you might be encountering at this time. Do not hide your head in the sand. Face life head on and deal with any adversity. Do not sit and waste your energies.

 

Although you feel as though you want to be by yourself, make sure you are not. You need the help of trusted friends and people that will offer positive feedback to this temporary situation. Their clarity over the situations might help you understand more clearly what is taking place in your life. Stay put in life and know that things will soon clear and that an opening is in sight.

 

Check to see which house transiting Neptune is moving through. This will provide you with insight into the area of life being affected. Also check to see which house your natal Neptune is in and how Neptune is aspected by other natal planets. This will give you further information as to what you can expect and how severe things might feel. It will also provide you with awareness into how you might be able to work things out.
