MEDITATION AS A DAILY PRACTICE

We must give credibility to the importance of meditation. Many of our readers are on a spiritual journey and want to advance their internal connection. When we practice meditation regularly, not out of commitment, but out of the shear desire to find alignment with our inner self and connection with source, the passages open and are more easily accessible.

 

Without meditation the evolution is not hindered but does not move as easily or readily as it does with a quiet mind. Meditation is the key to our inner evolution and our connection to what exists beyond the day-to-day. If growth is our goal, we owe it to ourselves to utilize this practice.

 

We are here for earthly lessons and to benefit mankind in some way, even if we find that it is only in a somewhat limited capacity. Life continually changes and as we grow into our true selves much more begins to unfold. We do not know where we will end up as far as spiritual enlightenment goes but we can assist in its development. Meditation is a tool for this.

TRANSITING URANUS SQUARE THE MIDHEAVEN

Squares are considered challenging aspects, but on a positive note, they often force us into action. Something needs to be done or changed to alleviate the stress or obstacles. We need to change situations and find solutions as the stress factor is too significant to ignore.

 

When the Midheaven (MC) is involved, it often relates to our occupation or career although it can also speak of our status, goals, aspirations and path ahead. Changes will or need to take place in these areas. We are not at the mercy of life but we know that we need to shift or we may become at the mercy of forced change.

 

Perhaps a career path is no longer available. Sometimes we can do something about it and sometimes we just need to adjust. In many cases we get warnings that change is needed. Other times these changes can be sudden and we may not be prepared for what unfolds. This is especially true if Pluto is also involved.

 

This square may indicate that changes are in store with our marriage and life’s status is moving in a new direction particularly if the 7^th house is involved. You may be able to make changes without the relationship ending and other times the end is permanent. If there is an opposition to this placement, there likely is someone else involved.

 

It is important to realize that Uranus although it seems impulsive, the changes are required. Over time we may come to the realization that our new path is far better. Sometimes we need to role with the punches and sometimes we need to fight for our rights. In either case, change and an awakening takes place. It may take some time to realize the benefits but they will eventually be understood.

STAND UP FOR YOU

If you have been struggling with “acting” due to concerns or worries about how that particular action might be received, you might want to think about both the benefits and the consequences. If the benefits outweigh your concerns, you might want to make your move. We are not talking about aggressive action, or an action that can injure someone; we are talking about taking action because action is required.

 

Perhaps you have been contemplating action for some long time and you are concerned someone else may get emotional because of your actions so you have held off. Perhaps its time to push past these concerns as long as you are sure the outcome is beneficial. Standing up and fighting for what you need or believe in does not necessitate physical altercation. Speak your mind in a way you wish to be spoken to and make the moves that are necessary.

 

You and your needs are important too. Recognize that if you have been holding back because someone wants something from you or does not want to let you move forward, you need to take that first step for you. The first step is always the most difficult.

 

If on the other hand you have always pushed for what you want with little regard for how it affects others perhaps you need to examine the “why” behind your moves and how it might have affected others. You may not always like what you see, but honesty and integrity should play a part in your journey. Perhaps fighting for what others need might be the best move at this point.

 

Take time to analysis the situation and then prepare for your next step. It is not always easy, but the life issues that you address with honesty and compassion will eventually make your journey authentic for all involved.

TRANSITING JUPITER TRINE THE MIDHEAVEN

The trine from transiting Jupiter to the Midheaven (MC) is considered a very favourable aspect. Jupiter the planet of growth and expansion fosters good luck and opportunities especially if it goes into retrograde and passes over the same degree more than once. Jupiter is known as the greater “benefic” and has the greatest potential for bringing in what we wish to achieve or it helps us move in the appropriate direction for advancement.

 

When connected to the MC it often suggests that opportunities for expansion connected with the career including a personal business if you own your own business, a raise in pay or recognition for your efforts and often development and progress. In some cases, things seem to flow freely with little assistance on your part, but it is always recommended that you push ahead and work with the energies as they are so favourable.

 

Jupiter also relates to advanced teachings linked to your philosophy of life. This may represent a time when opportunities are presented to further your journey and make sure you are on the best path.

 

The MC is tied to goals and aspirations as well as career. It also has to do with recognition and status. Life may change in a favourable manner during this transit. Some marry or move to another home or location especially if there are indicators coming from the 4^th or 7^th house. It is important to investigate the whole chart to determine what areas may be affected.

 

The placement of Jupiter in your natal chart along with the aspects to your MC will have an input in what unfolds.  When T. Jupiter is direct it has the greatest and most favourable impact. Goals can be made, and advancement can be experienced in this direction. Things seem to move forward in a much easier manner and with less obstruction than before this aspect.

 

Take advantage of these energies and advance closer to your objectives.

SELF REFLECTION

Do you admire a specific quality in others?

 

Do you have a personal quality that you admire?

 

We want to focus on the qualities you admire within yourself, the respect you have for yourself and the loyalty you have for yourself, others and your personal objectives.

 

Admiration must begin from within. Appreciate the qualities that you have already brought to the surface. Know that they are part of you.

 

What you admire in others is already a part of who you are or you would not even recognize these qualities.

 

Be convicted to your goals for yourself. Hold on to what feels right and is reflective of who you are. We are an ongoing project, always developing and always evolving.

 

Be loyal to yourself. Respect the qualities that you have built on and be true to yourself. Trust yourself but realize you have much more to learn. Be open. Find peace with that.

 

You are never off track no matter how it feels or what you think. Each step along the way is a step in the right direction especially when life creates barriers or obstacles as they are steppingstones towards greater enlightenment. Without lessons we become complacent. Life is not about stagnation; it is about growth.

AQUARIUS TRANSITS 2023

On January 20, 2023 the Sun moves into the Fixed, Air Sign of Aquarius. See our post from January 18 for a brief description of the energies of Aquarius. www.holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/50381907-sun-in-aquarius-january-20-2023?siteId=126690493&locale=en-US

 

T Saturn has been in the sign of Aquarius since mid-December, 2020 and will move into Pisces in March, 2023. Those with their Sun in the later degrees of Aquarius will be influenced by this conjunction of Saturn and their Sun. Those with their Sun in the earlier degrees have already been influenced by this.

 

The Sun deals with the progressive movement forward in our lives among other things. With Saturn in conjunction this will or has been a rather testing period especially for Aquarians with challenging aspects natally to their Sun. Sun in Aquarius wants to move away from anything that no longer serves a viable purpose and Saturn wants to hold on to what feels comfortable and familiar. This may be/have been a time for putting things into their proper place, replacing what needs changing and adhering to what still promotes growth through diligent effort and consistent application.

 

Saturn may restrict especially while in direct motion but when it was retrograde it may have assisted in a forward motion (unlike other planets in their retrograde motion). Personal changes may have taken hold plus more responsibility. These changes will likely have been necessary as you will discover after this transit has passed.

 

T Pluto will move into Aquarius early next year (2024) but its influence will likely be felt before this date. This will bring forth many major changes to those with their Sun in the early degrees of Aquarius, where something needs to end for something new to begin. There are no half measures with Pluto and its change and transformation is total although it usually takes some time to recognize why these energies were in place and how they will benefit you in the long haul. The house where your Sun is located and the aspects to it will determine how this all plays out. No matter what, be ready for change and disruption.  Don’t resist. This is needed!

NEW MOON JANUARY 21, 2023

On January 21, 2023 we will be experiencing a New Moon at 1° of Aquarius.

 

For this New Moon to have a profound effect, you will need to have a planet or angle Conjunct, Opposition or Square to this position in your natal chart. The tighter the aspect (allow up to 3° orb of separation) the stronger the influence. Take into consideration the planet or angle involved, its sign, and house position.

 

A New Moon signifies new beginnings (a time to plant seeds). All beginnings suggest that an ending is also in place. A new cycle has arrived. Set your intensions, work to rejuvenate anything that requires more work, become introspective and meditative on what you wish to begin. If necessary bring others into the equation so they can help you manifest.

 

Aquarius signifies new goals involving groups of people who are like minded or who have humanitarian concerns. Aquarius wants us to come out of complacency and initiate the new so that stale energy can be released and we can awaken to new possibilities.

 

Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius and is known as the awakener so be ready for the unexpected, have an eye on future potentials and push ahead.

 

The New Moon’s energies of New Beginning is exemplified due to the conjunction of T. Pluto to the moon. Pluto (28° Capricorn) wants nothing more than to permanently remove anything that no longer serves you and to change your direction sometimes in rather abrupt ways.

 

Pluto transforms and regenerates and is anything but subtle. It may take time to realize why things unfold the way they do. Much depends on the other influences in the birth chart (aspects to the angle or planet involved) and what has been in place up to this point. Change on a grand scale is due but you might want to sit back and see what unfolds. Orchestrating the change and putting your print on the equation is always a good idea however. We are never at the mercy of Astrology as we can make the energies work for us but our attitude certainly dictates how we will receive powerful events.
