The Plan

When we enter this life, our soul comes equipped with a plan. The course is already prepared before we begin our journey. We step into this new found identity understanding this and although our body may be foreign to us, it links up with our soul upon entry. Our soul or inner self is well acquainted with the design and readies us by providing us with insight, as required. We begin this journey and move forward ingrained with this knowledge and prepared to embark on our life’s quest.

Along the way be become acquainted or reacquainted with our family. It is thought that we have already had incarnations with many of these family members. We have agreed to meet up again, as often those close to us are on similar paths, and we help each other along the way. Our close acquaintances, particularly our parents, our children and especially our marriage partner may have experienced many lifetimes together. We agreed to come together again in the hope of furthering our evolutionary path.

The path we walk has a wide range of potentials and is unique for each of us. We choose events and experiences that provide us with the required knowledge or gained experience we need in order to further our growth. Many of the events that stand out in our lives are challenging, and these are the ones that further our evolution the most. When life is goes smooth consider these periods as times of rest and the good karma for a life well lived, either during this life or a previous incarnation.

The more evolved we are in this existence the greater the challenges and the more impact we have on others. If we move off track and commit an act that we know is unjust, the ramifications are much more severe than they would be for a far less enlightened individual. As we evolve, karma is quickened as we understand the nature of our life and we move forward, not for personal rewards, but for the benefit of our spiritual whole.

We move together as a unit and we eventually reach our final destination of this one life. Some of us will be burdened with feelings of disappointment upon completion, as we may not have accomplished what we set out to do. Others will be blessed upon completion for a job well done and reap the rewards in knowing that we not only moved our consciousness closer to God, we enhanced the lives of those we met along the way and brought them closer to the ultimate union with our source.

When you are lying on your death bed, make sure you have no regrets. Let your past experiences be the start of your new life and begin now. You cannot change the past and you will reap what you sow, but from this moment on, you can change to ensure you live a pure and purposeful life. Begin today and forgive yesterday’s misjudgments. Move forward knowing that you are part of the greater whole and one immersed in the entirety.

Progressions in the Astrology Chart

There are several predictive tools used by Astrologers in modern day forecasting. We have already touched on transits and we will now discuss progressions. Astrologers have used this technique for many centuries and progressions are still used widely today by many practitioners of this science. The formula used to calculate progressions uses a day for a year technique. In other words, if you wanted to produce a chart for an individual at age 30 you would progress the birth chart ahead 30 days from the date of birth.

Some astrologers believe that progressions take the priority for forecasting, while others believe that transits should be used. When progressing a chart, you actually use both techniques and use major transits and progressions together to form a basis on what the forecast holds. Many astrologers hold firm to the concept that progressions take form internally, while transits take form on the physical level. In my personal experience, I have noted that they both function on both levels.

Progressions and transits are present when physical or external activities, as well as internal conditions, become activated. However, it should be noted that in order for an event to take place or a psychological condition to surface, there has to be correlation in the Natal Chart. The Natal Chart is reflective of our life’s unfolding story. It paints a picture of who we are, why we have come into this life and what we are here to do. The transits and progressions stimulate this natal potential and activate events in our lives when it is most likely that we can utilize these inborn traits.

If for example, you were born with a constructive aspect between Jupiter and Pluto and they are located in the appropriate houses (the horoscope is divided into 12 houses) when these planets become activated through transit or progression, an opportunity to transform yourself and to change your life can become stimulated. If these planets are in a fortunate aspect in the natal chart, the meeting of these two planets in the second or fifth or eighth house for example could indicate a financially rewarding experience.

There are countless planetary combinations that unfold throughout our lives and in utilizing the progressions and transits, we are able to draw constructive conclusions and activate the natal potential found in all birth charts. The Natal Chart is your birth right and the progressions and transits set in motion that which you have come to do in this life. They also indicate how you will utilize the energies that these planets have brought to the table.

Life's Struggles

Some of you read an article in a newspaper, book, blog, here on Facebook and the articles pushes you to re-evaluate your life’s conditions. You wonder how you can turn things around. Sometimes, life hands out circumstances that seem to plague us again and again. At times, situations feel out of our control and it does not matter how frequently we turn our attention away from the coarseness of life, nothing appears to sway events to a more positive outcome. Even intentional mind focus does not make any difference. We cannot help but wonder what else we should be doing as nothing is altering the current conditions.

This is when our inner fortitude can be called upon and provides us with the strength to overcome the onslaught of circumstances that just keep happening. There are periodic times in our life’s course when we are confronted with what seems to be an endless array of adverse conditions and these times test our endurance to the maximum.

Stand tall and rest assured that this period will pass, as one thing that is for certain in life and that is change.

These intermittent struggles are filters that suggest we need to look a little closer at current conditions in our lives and make some alterations. Look at all of the circumstances, as often there are indicators as to what area of life needs adjusting. For example if you are experiencing shortage, these are gauges that suggest that you may be putting too much mental energy into your financial situation. Because of this, we draw more attention on shortage as our focus only serves to amplify any situation in our life. You have to change focus and view your financial situation on a more positive note. Appreciate the fact that you have a place to live, you have food to eat and a place that you can call home.

If even these essentials are threatened, you will need to appreciate that alternate living conditions that are available such as hostiles, a family member’s home or a friend’s home as these can provide you with warm, dry surroundings, even if only temporarily.

If you feel lost and desperate and nothing seems to be moving in the right direction, understand that all life’s circumstances are temporary and your life will shift. When you experience these major challenges in life and eventually move beyond the stress and hurt, you will find that you gained a lot of knowledge and inner strength through the process. Once life runs smooth again and you learn to shift focus, appreciate the conditions in your life. Always remember where you have come from and hold onto the lesson but let go of the experience. The past has prepared you for where you are now, but it is over and done with. To hold on to hurts of the past often produce more pain. Be done with it and let it go!

Move forward with your life with the knowledge that all things will pass and a new beginning waits for you just around the next bend. Keep strong with this understanding and know that often the greater the difficultly, the greater the rewards. Prepare for the next wave of opportunity to come your way and pass on what you have learned, so that when others come under similar conditions, you can aid them through the tough ride.

This is always part of our mission, as all of life is meant to be a shared. We are here to help others and teach by example.

Transits in an Astrology Chart

At the moment of birth, if one was to take a snapshot of the heavens, with the earth in the middle, the plants would be stationary and this is what is known as the Natal or Birth Chart. This chart captures the innate qualities you have brought with you and will transcend throughout your life.

Once the position of the planets has been captured at the second of birth, all the planets continue moving around the zodiac or birth chart. This movement of planets is called planets in Transit. The Birth Chart never changes and as these Transits move around the chart, they make angles to the birth positions of the planets in the Natal Chart. These are called aspects.

Transits indicate important upcoming events and circumstances which will be real outer world activities or internal alignments or psychological matters. The transits indicate times when it is most appropriate for action or when it is unwise to make changes. These trends indicate circumstances that must be acknowledged, confronted and dealt with. In most circumstances, these periods indicate psychological growth potential and one must act in order to overcome and learn from the experience.

There are traditionally two types of aspects formed between two planets or action points in a chart. They could be referred to as developmental and challenging conditions that are brought into focus and require your attention. The easier aspects (trine, sextile and some conjunctions) can be considered pleasant and will usually not require you to work hard to make circumstances in life operate in such a way that you will benefit from these activities or internal issues. The more challenging aspects, (square, opposition and some conjunctions) will operate in such a way that you will be stimulated to work things out and make the necessary adjustments to overcome the situation at hand. Although the difficult aspects create some friction in life, these are the ones that motivate us and help us grow as individuals.

Transits may precipitate events or produce psychological balancing. You may say that fate or destiny calls us into action, but in most cases, there are links between the planets and important positions in the chart that speak of these times when one must act or when life runs smoothly. All aspects between planets and important points in the chart can be rectified by the individual, as we are never at the mercy of the planets in our lives. We make the decisions and challenge ourselves to commit to any type of action.

Astrology does not dictate life. You dictate your own life. An Astrology Chart only helps to bring the events into focus that require action. At the very least, a Chart can assist in creating a mind frame that works for you not against you.

Issues will keep repeating themselves in life when the individual becomes complacent with their progress. These repeated events are indicated by the planet involved going into retrograde (appearing to move backwards).

Transits have time frames and can be calculated precisely for their duration. Astrology can help to advise you of coming trends in your life, the areas of life that will be affected and how long this affect will be in force. Let us prepare a chart for you and assist you in uncovering your potential and to assist you in softening some of the rough areas of life that you may be faced with.

The Foresaken

There are those among us whose lives seem to be filled with desperation and they are caught up in turmoil, just getting through another day. They wake up each morning wondering what tidal wave will encroach their day and rob them of hope, peace and serenity. They believe that the worst is yet to come and approach each day on this premise, waiting for the roof to fall in. Without fail, the roof will eventually collapse as this attitude is their companion. They believe that the world is against them and that happiness and hope is only for the lucky ones.

Living with this intension consistently, ensures the demise of relief. Through their attitude, they slowly destroy all hope and push anything positive far out of reach. Their daily concepts, their belief structures, become their master, their conqueror and their demons. They become slaves to an idea and a belief and they do not believe that any other life is possible.

These poor souls have, for some reason, come into this incarnation to experience pain, to experience personal failure, and to live out their lives in personal persecution with little to no help. These are the few that cannot find answers, that do not believe that there is an answer and because of this belief, they stop searching, stop believing and force stagnation into their lives. Many become victims of themselves and some will never recover.

It is hard to understand why a soul would choose such a stricken life, full of misery and despair through a negative mental attitude. Some of these individuals live this life and follow this route. Our obligation is to have compassion and find love within our hearts for these forsaken and largely abandoned individuals.

Be thankful for all that makes your perfect world and the next time you think about how awful you may have it at this moment, think of these discarded brothers and sisters that have little to no hope. Many of these individuals due to their mental state live on our streets. Instead of walking by and ignoring them, give them something of you even if it is just a smile, a simple acknowledgement that they are here. They need some sign that this day is not going to be a continuation of the previous one and what you do, your simple act of kindness, might be the beginning of a new turn on their road.

We all walk this road of life together, hand in hand, reaching the final destination point together. Understand the connection we all have with one another and do what you can for others. Make their life a little more forgiving and do this in the name of love.

Libra or Libra Influence in the Astrology Chart

According to the ephemeris for 2013, the Sun moves into Libra on the 23rd of September. Anyone born with the Sun in Libra, anyone with the Ascendant sign in Libra, or have many planets in the seventh house will have strong Libra characteristics. Anyone having a strong emphasis on Libra in your natal chart, or experiencing strong emphasis in the seventh house through transit or progressed planetary movement, will have a strong need to weigh things out before they commit to any course of action. These individuals will experience a strong push and pull when it comes to drawing conclusions. They have an innate need for fairness and justice and will bend in all directions in order to accommodate others so as not to stir the pot.

Libra wants balance and will seek it out consciously. This can make them susceptible to being taken advantage of by stronger individuals or people that are power hungry and wanting control. Libra people are at their happiest when in a relationship and are extremely sociable. They experience difficulties when alone and could be considered to be in love with love. This can work to their detriment, as some with strong Libra characteristics in their chart marry too young or settle for someone less than perfect, which is quite contrary to our post on Sun in Virgo. Individuals that are born with their Sun in the very early degrees of Libra will also have Virgo qualities. This is known as being born on the cusp of a sign, as the Sun takes up 16 degrees in the birth chart.

Libra’s seek emotional balance, actually balance in every aspect of life and if they are experiencing discord, they are out of sorts, to say the least. They need balance and harmony and will seek a peaceful solution at any cost. This in turn makes them seem somewhat indecisive to others, but they truly see both sides to any situation and rarely take a stance on either side. They also have great difficulty saying no to anyone under almost any circumstance. Once again people of lesser personal development may take advantage of this outstanding attribute. Many seek professional advice or consult with close friends and associates before making any commitments. They need to learn to stand on their own, make their own decisions and then commit to them.

Libra people are one of the most likable signs of the zodiac and you can rely on them to be truthful, unless they feel you may get hurt. In this case, they will bend the truth a little to prevent hurting you. If you are in search for a true friend and companion, one that represents the scales of justice, seek out a strong Libra character and find a confidant and perhaps a lifelong companion or marriage partner.

The Lunar or Moon's Nodes in an Astrology Chart



The Moon’s nodes in an Astrology Chart are representative of the experiences and undertakings that impart a special kind of wisdom on individuals. This wisdom comes as a direct result of efforts the individual uses to expand his or her experience and knowledge gained directly from past experiences. They use this inherent understanding to evolve their spiritual development.

In a spiritual sense, these Nodes (north and south) are known as the axis of fate and can be viewed as windows to the higher universal forces. This spiritual connection molds with our earthly existence and helps mankind in its mystical pursuit. Karma is highly connected with the nodes and if viewed appropriately, karma is the fulfillment of the responsibilities we accepted when entering this life. The results of following your karmic path is expanded spiritual awareness and growth.

These nodes help to keep you on your track; your intended path and clarifying the “why” behind our earthly existence. They explain our purpose and help us to delineate our karmic lessons and our predestined missions.

The south node discloses precisely what it is that we brought with us from our previous incarnation. These are our abilities-- our assets as well as our limitations. The south node defines our accumulated karma, both good and bad. The sign location of our south node indicates our nature and inherent character traits. These characteristics are evident and can be seen in our actions and behavioural patterns. These traits are linked automatically to our psyche and are based from past actions, which may have given us successes or failures in past incarnations.

We have experiences in previous lives that we can now draw upon to enhance our experience or to help us to steer clear of unpleasant ones. We find it stress-free to continue doing works and deeds that utilize these inherent qualities, as they have become habitual. If your focus is from the south node, you will find that you tend to operate primarily from the less appealing qualities of that sign. The south node is viewed as a weak spot and if you act on the qualities of our south node instead of the north node qualities, you will find that you are headed towards great discontent, hindrances and regrets.

Our goal is to utilize the north node’s position into our lives. The north node is delegated to transform and mold our future and give us the attributes necessary to continue forward with progress on our on-going journey. We are to aim at acquiring the highest elements symbolized by our north node’s sign and house placement. We should be excited to do the works and deeds that epitomize our north node placement.

As the north node is new to us, it may take some courage to move forward in the direction indicated by the north node’s positive qualities. We will have to put forth some effort in this pursuit, but in doing so, we draw to us all the blessings the sign and house position promise and receive assistance from our guides.

Children

Let us draw our attention to the little ones in our midst, our children, our grandchildren, all of the little ones learning to make their way in life. What can we do to preserve the innocence and gently nudge them in the proper direction? Many would say that life’s circumstances put an end to the innocence of childhood and perhaps this is true. Some would think that sheltering these little ones from the outside world would help alleviate some of the hardships that await them, in turn shielding this innocence.

Sheltering our little ones from the real world and its actions can help prolong the innocence for some time, but sooner or later, they have to breakout from that protective shell after all, we are all here to live, to experience, to grow! The outside world will eventually initiate the breaking down of that pure innocence, but we can still provide them with a solid foundation from which to build their lives. We can teach them through love and compassion and within the thinking of the spiritual revolution that is currently unfolding. This revolution will undoubtedly be common place in their generation,(if we nurture the right seeds which have been planted).

We are the forebearers of the spiritual evolution and it is up to us to show the children by example so that they in turn can keep it alive. Nurture the seed early as they grow so that it can blossom when they are adults. Teach them what true spirituality is and provide them with a base to evolve from. Help them understand their real purpose and guide them to join forces with the greater whole.

Their pure innocence will undoubtedly pass but they can be taught to maintain their ability to see the good in humanity and our greater purposes for this life.......not the “me first” attitude that is fostered through greed. Be the light and source of spiritual awakening in the children that surround you and teach them through example. Know that you are the light, know that you are part of the source and know that you are love in its purest essence.

Second Node return in Astrology - Age 39

At age 39, we mark the second return of the nodes to their natal position. This is an important life cycle spiritually, as the nodes are representative of our soul’s journey. There are two nodes, each exactly opposite the other--the north and south nodes.

The south node speaks of our last incarnation and indicates what we have brought with us into this life. These characteristics can assist us and they can also hinder us, depending on how we use the inherent knowledge that we have brought over.

The north node is indicative of what we have come into this life to develop and bring into fruition. That which the north node represents is completely new to us and is very unfamiliar territory as it is the new course we take in this life in order to fill our soul’s development requirements. We often greet anything new with some degree of resistance, but life will bring to surface incidents that enhance our learning ability and push us in the intended direction.

At the time of the 2nd nodal return, it is as if a gateway has been reopened and we are re-acquainted with our commitment, but this time on a much more mature level. The previous return occurred at about the age of 19 and this period enlisted us into the entry of adulthood. From the time of our Saturn return (age 29) until now, we have been re-visiting our purpose but mostly on a sub-conscious level. Now in entering this new cycle, we are reviewing our internal vows and making adjustments consciously. We are beginning our adult and maturing phase of these proposed ventures. This time awakens our spiritual quest and the soul’s intended path or enlightenment is brought forward to our conscious mind.

Spiritually, we are entering into a phase when one feels impelled to pursue a course of action that appeals to our transcendent mission. Many feel a strong push in this direction, even if they are not aware of which direction to take. There is a sense of urgency. This period releases us to our purpose which has been held primarily in the unconscious self. The process for most of us is unhurried and for some even tedious as there is a feeling that something is happening and an awakening is taking place, but it moves very slowly.

The next return at around 57 produces much more significant results as throughout this process we are becoming aroused to the real purpose of our mission. There is a greater sense of destiny with the next nodal return, but we will speak of this return at a later date.

Suffice to say the door has been opened and through meditation and an acknowledgement of a greater purpose than that of our earthly existence, we move steadily toward our intended path.

Appreciation and Share

We need to appreciate what life offers each and every day, without judgement and by living in the moment with full appreciation of the extraordinary experience of being alive. I refuse to use the expression of “just being alive” as it only serves to downplay the miracle of life. There are countless other individuals that share this planet without the necessities of live that we enjoy. Many survive on the bare essentials to exist (not live). It is next to impossible for us to comprehend their way of existing as we live our relatively sheltered life ignorant and separate from their experience.

So many of us live our lives wrapped up in our everyday affairs rarely looking beyond our own front door. Awaken to the need of others and appreciate that you do not share their plight. Do you ever question why we are so fortunate to live this life of plenty?

Be thankful for each day and the new beginnings that each one offers. Begin your day in gratitude. Stop to think about just how fortunate you truly are. When life throws a curve at you, instead of allowing yourself to get caught up in the misery of the moment, focus on the good in your life and let go of the hurt. Live your life in appreciation, with an open heart, and ready to accept anyone as your brother. Live happily within this framework.

By opening up to the good in your life, you let the universe know that you are living in appreciation and the universe will bring you more to appreciate. Positive thinking brings positive results and tells the universe that you are open to more of the same. Utilize this knowledge and mold your life into the shape that you deserve. Everyone deserves happiness and peace. We live under conditions where there are more opportunities to find this. Be grateful for the wonderful life that you experience and open your heart to receiving everything that brings you joy and open your life to love.

With all of this appreciation in mind, what could you do to assist those less fortunate than you? One act of kindness or generosity, no matter how small, has an immense rippling effect! What will you do?

Ages 38-44 in Astrology

We will be discussing the mid-life turning point at ages 38-44 in this post. We have discussed some issues coming into this age, but this period of life deserves more discussion.

This is the turning point where one moves from early adulthood into a more rounded, “developing” individual, one who is now reconciling with oneself and is fairly comfortable with who they are. This is a time when we are restructuring our association with self on a more profound level. A sense of individualization is occurring at a rapid pace due to the major influences taking place in our lives. We are experiencing transiting Saturn in trine to its natal position and Neptune in square to its natal position. These signify inner transformations and a realistic approach to who we actually are.

There may even be a feeling of urgency as our quest in life; our ego and the ongoing search for “Who am I?” are undergoing alterations in the consciousness of those that feel they need answers. There is no formal training when it comes to dealing with the midlife crisis. Few people can say they are prepared for this as no one knows exactly what to expect. Each individual goes through their own personal crisis followed by an awakening period. This is a time of great soul searching and a desire for inner change which often coincides with outer change, as one always affects the other.

The body is also undergoing physical changes during this time in our life, and those who have placed too much attention on physical appearance may become depressed with what they see in the mirror. Many will have to go deep within to find out what they actually have to offer as the appearance has held an elevated position in their life. The ego is actually in a somewhat delicate state as the inner self gains supremacy and control, at least for those who are searching for something more than a surface existence.

This is often considered a turning point as we truly begin to question who we are and we relentlessly want answers. Many turn to deeper subjects such as Astrology, spirituality and the mystical side of life in order to further their pursuit and in hopes of finding some answers to some truly profound questions. This is an awakening stage as many who have been wrapped up in the material world and have come up with a feeling of being empty want greater meaning in their lives.

Doors that have been locked are now beginning to open and a deep restlessness is awakening within. The search continues and those longing for answers begin to question their existence, opening the channel from within and making first contact with the inner self. The process has now begun as we raise our consciousness and continue on with our true mission.

The Inward Journey

As we make our way up the mountain of spiritual development, ever closing in on our maturing vantage point hopefully on the uppermost tip of the mountain, we can look down and view our past. If we use automatic recall, we can note several points in the journey where we hesitated for a brief moment or two. These moments, although seemingly times of stagnation to the evolution of our growth, are actually times of opportunity to ponder where we are on this quest and what lessons are being taught.

Many, when they reach these stationary points, feel stuck or unable to move forward, when in fact these are resting periods and reflections points that we are meant to experience. Rather than feeling as though we are stuck and allow ourselves to become frustrated, welcome this brief period. Enjoy the opportunity to gain a clearer perspective on just where we have come from, where we are now and where we might be heading.

These transient flashes are our quiet moments when we must reflect to ensure we have taken the right turns and to give thanks to the ongoing revelations that are presented to us. We need to take the time to make notes on the mission and the accomplishments that we have attained thus far. Do not leave anything uncovered and view objectively the course of action that you will pursue next.

Contemplate where you see yourself in the near future then set the next course you must take to reach that point. Be completely open with yourself and view yourself objectively. Unearth and expose all flaws in character and potential shortcomings that may hinder any progress. When you come to a fork in the road as you begin to uproot yourself from this moment of reflection, choose carefully which route will satisfy your hunger for knowledge and further your quest. If you veer off course, do not condemn yourself. Simply put yourself back on track and continue on the corrected path.

It will take time to uncover the truths you seek. Patience is the key to manifesting the outcome. You will once again find your way and move onward toward your goal. The route may be shadowed from time to time, but is always traversable.

God


For many on the spiritual quest, there are questions, or maybe occasional doubts, that seem to be in the forefront of our journey.   “Is there an existence of a higher force or God figure and how do we fit into the higher force’s grand scheme of things”?  This inquiry involves an answer that apparently cannot be formulated through our logical thought process. 

 

For those who use rational to decipher who or what God may be, there is often the question if God or higher force, call it what you will, actually exists.  How can you formulate an answer based on mentally drawn conclusions when in fact God is not something/someone you can touch or see?  This makes it difficult when you are a thinking or rational based individual who learns through experience and draws conclusions from evidence and proof.

 

It is much easier to have a stronger core belief or reach a conclusion when you are from a religious background and are accustomed to the concept of God as the Father or spiritual leader.  It is a much more difficult concept to take hold of when you have to base your belief structure on that which was not introduced when you were a child.  Most of us need proof.  Is it possible that if you stop looking for proof and rely on faith, through opening up your mind and your heart to all things, that the answers will come to you?

 

Finding answers to understanding the concept of God is a difficult one and fathoming them can be even more difficult.  Relying on faith and faith alone can be a difficult practice for most of us.  If you think about it, there is no other avenue of proof that exists for those of us who have not been touched by spirit or who have not experiences some sort of holy insight but through meditation and at bear minimum, with a small leap of faith.  What do we have to lose by giving up our search and relying on faith to guide us in the right direction?

 

All religions whether traditional or otherwise are based on the concept of love.  Love is the key to unlocking the miracle of life.  If we follow our hearts through pure love and hold no expectation, the doorway of understanding opens for us all.  We must find the courage to let go and have the courage to allow the higher force that resides in each of us and connects us to the greater whole lead us on our spiritual journey.  We can blindly follow our hearts through pure love (not our lustful love) and move in directions that allow awakening to take place. 

I imagine that a big part of the difficulty comes from some traditional religious training which speaks of retribution for our actions.  In the acceptance of a God figure, some may be frightened by the concept of being judged, perhaps being found guilty and then punished by our maker.  If you were to look into our belief structure and the concept of what God stands for, does he not stand for everything good? 

 

Would the most perfect and complete spirit be capable of “hurt” in any way?  If God is love then love cannot implement anything but love and would only prompt more love.  Fear not the wrath of God for God only creates more love. 

 

The punishment for going against your capability of loving all things is the stagnation of your spiritual growth.  Fear the thought process, if you need to be in fear of something, because this is where the retribution for your sins and the creator of fear subsides.  These fears that you may harbour come from within and have nothing to do with God.  

 

My God is pure love and my faith in God comes from pursuing perfect love and making love the most important part of your life.  Find faith by allowing love to take over your life.  In this way, you will come to know God.

Pluto in the Astrology Chart

Pluto, the powerful planet of transformation and regeneration, holds a very significant stronghold in any chart.  It is an extremely dominant planet and when activated through progressions or transits, it is best to let things happen as they will.  Any type of resistance with respect to what is about to transcend into your life is futile and can serve to make the transition even more difficult than it needs to be.

Pluto is the ruling planet of Scorpio and speaks of death and regeneration (sometimes literally), but usually Pluto works beneath the surface bringing about long overdue change to your life.  Before these transformations can take place, however, there is usually a period of deep reflection and the shedding of unwanted and unnecessary elements in your life.

Pluto’s action is to break down structures that have taken hold in your life that now hinder your evolutionary growth.  Pluto’s actions are finite in the sense that whatever structure that has been built previously, will be torn down and replaced with a new structure that is much sounder.  To defy the required changes that Pluto insists are necessary usually brings about a much more violent and aggressive change.  If you let go and allow yourself to remain open to the eventual change that will happen, the transition will be much more smooth. 

Pluto represents decay on some level or another and is evident in times of accidents (as is Mars).  Pluto is the indicator for the death of an individual or a circumstance. 

If Pluto is strongly placed in your chart, you are the type of individual who seeks transformation on many levels.  You would want control of your environment and may be the instigator of required change in others.  You would engage in power struggles throughout your life, and life would force change on you.

People with their Sun in Scorpio, many planetary aspects linked to Pluto, an emphasis of planets in the eighth house or Pluto as the Ruler in their chart will be under the influence of Pluto’s powerful energies throughout their life and particularly when transits and progressions become linked to Pluto in the natal chart.

Where is Pluto located in your chart?

Friends

Your relationship with your close contacts through work or through socially contact hold special meaning and they are central figures in your life.  They are pertinent to your evolving story and should not be discarded or considered irrelevant, as they are vital to your life and not just there by chance.  These individuals are particularly significant if you form meaningful relationships with them and if you share a long standing rapport. 

Your close friends are undoubtedly linked to previous lives and it is not by chance that you have chosen to meet up with them again.  Often times, life’s circumstances bring you together so you can form an alliance and complete tasks that would be difficult to handle on your own.  These people are often the ones that seem to know just what to say when you are faced with difficulties.  They are the individuals that so often lend a tender ear or shoulder in times of emotionally impacting periods when you feel alone and otherwise would have no place to turn. 

They are also there to teach you something about yourself.  Through their interaction and linking together, you will often experience reflections of yourself.  Look closely when you find something in someone that you are not comfortable with or have an aversion to.  Have an honest look internally and you will find that these blemishes that are threatening in character or that you disapprove of may be a part of who you are or these character traits may be something that you fear.  They are often reflections of our self that need to be recognized as such and in confronting these shortcomings, we are able to make required adjustments.

You may find that some friendships last for years then suddenly break off.  If you look closely, you will realize that what you needed to acquire from this relations has been absorbed and utilized or they were unable to assist in facilitating the necessary changes required.  They depart to allow another person to enter your life and assist in this ongoing evolving story.

Pay attention to the people who are drawn to you.  They will change as time goes by and you as well will evolve as an individual.  You will surround yourself with people of like minds, generating required input at crucial points in your life.  You also project yourself outward and send out vibrations to draw those to you that are in search for your guidance and friendship.  It is not by chance that people come together; there is usually a higher principle involved.  Do not take your friendships or acquaintances for granted they are there for a reason.

People Aged 54-57

If you are between the ages of 54-57, this post pertains to you. You are now entering a stage in life when maturity is in full bloom. You are beginning to see yourself as an integrated whole and no longer just an extension of others. You are now clearly visualizing who you are as an individual and are comfortable enough that what others think is not that important anymore. You are who you are and that is just fine.

This is a stage when you are more concerned about life itself than living up to other peoples’ expectations. You are forming relationships to make you whole. You have come to a point where you basically know yourself and are liberated with this knowledge. Relationships still have a place in your heart, some even deeper than anything experienced previously, but you can rid yourself of unwanted or draining relationships.

This is not to say that you have become cold or uncaring; quite the opposite. You are beginning to understand what it is you need and will form more meaningful relationships in order to build on this.

This period is all about self-fulfillment and self-honesty. If you have been working well within these boundaries and living your life through generosity and love, you are well on your way to a more rewarding and satisfying life. You are on your way to the second Saturn return and you probably remember your first go round at approximately 30 years of age. You would have experienced life’s events to the fullest and matured immensely as this was a period of transformation on many levels.

There are several astrological factors that come into effect during this time period. You will be experiencing the second progressed lunar return, which in short speaks of emotionally coming of age. You will also be going through the Uranus trine Uranus transit which is usually accompanied with excitement and the beginning of something new. Neptune is also in trine to its natal position helping you gain a more realistic point of view on where your life is heading. For many, Pluto is also making a trine to its natal position which could be termed a life transformation when one taps into their core. You are going through the third nodal return at this time which is directed towards a re-orientation within and a clearer focus on life’s direction.

These astrological transformations taking place usually signify deeper transformations taking place and on many different levels. Explaining these fluctuations is basically impossible in general terms to suit a general population, but you now have an idea why life is going through changes on so many levels.

Tomorrow

Begin your day with a smile and the contentment of knowing that it’s another day--a new beginning with a fresh start.  This day is different from the rest because you have knowingly initiated it with this information in mind.  Know that you are the architect of this day and regardless of what happens, you have control of your reaction to every situation.  No matter what happens, it is in your power to react at will, in any way you wish, to anything.

Continue servicing the morning smile with each event that unfolds this day, by reacting in such a way that only something positive will come out of the circumstances.  Without being artificial in any way, look for the positive side of every happening.  Pay attention to your reaction and switch your mental positioning if need be.  Do not react from instinct.  Alter your thoughts; wait a moment before reacting and think about possible outcomes.  Choose the best route to take--the least restrictive and corrosive.

When your day has come to an end, take the necessary time to reflect, and log, if you wish on paper or mentally, what took place, your reaction and the outcome.  People have a difficult time reacting to you negatively when you come from a place of compassion and love.  This may seem out of character but this is not important as you are aiming to change your character in a positive way.  All that matters is that you started your day off on a stress-free note and continued the positive attitude throughout your day.  To release your energy in this way, you inadvertently please others with your reaction.  Because of this, much of the day may have been much more stress-free due to your reaction.

It is difficult to make changes in our lives but if we gently reminder ourselves of our reactions and the events that have resulted from them, we are moving forward to making this positive change.  By drawing attention to how we run our lives internally, we learn to react to life externally in a much improved manner.  Practice this throughout your whole day.  Intentionally pay attention to how you would have reacted if you were not paying attention.  The more you keep your attention on your reactions, the more positive your reactions will be.  Soon, you will react to events in a more positive way without conscious effort.

Our auto response is programmable.  It does not take long to alter the mind’s focus and with practice, the mind slowly changes focus in whatever direction you point it in.

Program you attitude each day as soon as you open your eyes.  Practice controlling your reaction.  This is the beginning stages to taking control of your life.  There will always be reaction from others and to this you have not control.  Why not assist in making these secondary reactions a little more positive through gentle persuasion.  You draw the line and make the choices then watch where your life takes you.

YOUR Personal Life

Life is like an exciting expedition with twists and turns at many intersections and revolving doors constantly guiding us through a new opening into a new light. Life provides us with the opportunity to delve into the unexpected and unexplored gaining personal insight sometimes with intense clarity and sometimes with blurred vision.

When life opens doors to a new perception and offers inspiration and lucidity, we enter the other side of the door encouraged and ready to share this new found insight with our close friends. As we move through life gaining understanding and furthering our goal, we have to understand that the changes that take place are there for us and many times there are few that share our enthusiasm and truly understand the significance of what we have just experienced. It is through this experience that we begin to understand how individualistic our journey and learning process actually is. Although we link with others, no one experiences what we are experiencing and our lessons learned through life are specifically intended for us.

In many ways the journey is a journey of solitude and we experience life from our own vantage point. When we try to relay to others our experience or gained knowledge, they gather what is necessary for them and what they can take with them to further the understanding of their life. We alone completely understand what our lessons or experiences are establishing. As much as you want to share life’s experience and gained knowledge, understand that you are the intended student and the activity or circumstance was just for you.

The lessons come to us when we are ready for that specific growth. We move at our own pace and at our own frequency. Always share your life with others but understand, only you can process the information that YOU require during an experience.

New Generation 1995-2011


The generation born between 1995 and 2011 we will speak about are our children aged from two to eighteen years old. This group, or generation if you wish, will rely primarily on the rational and intellectual process rather than emotion, which so many of us rely on now for judgement. They will be marked by their ideologies and their teachings rather than the previous generations which are remembered for more violent actions such as that of war and oppressive forces. This younger generation will be loud in their expression, will want to be heard and must be allowed to express their strong viewpoint.


These people will no longer be segregated by race, colour or religious beliefs and will bring forward a highly moral culture. They will have a global thinking attitude allowing room for growth and change to existing systems of thinking. The family will be very important to these individuals, but the family values will primarily be based on internal ethics and belief systems held. There values will involve the collective whole. They will learn to speak freely about false values and will create new laws that they will live by and embrace, as these laws will be of their own making.


They will try to unite the world as a whole and attempt to create a world where everyone is thought of as being equal. The unit lives by higher learning and universal brotherhood. Transformations will take place in the global network, as there is the opportunity to unite as a whole rather than continuing separately in traditional segregation.


The potential success of this generation can only be impeded by their predecessors--our generation. It is up to us to assist in developing their budding personality and teach them through action that which we want for future generations. We need to stimulate interaction based on the understanding that these children are the future and we can teach them that love and compassion are much better instruments than war and oppression. Help them help themselves to mold the new world with their impending growth at heart.

Appreciation

When we sit back and enjoy the comforts of everyday living and reflect on our busy day, it is important to place focus on the world around us and not allow our complacency to overshadow the truth. It is difficult to truly see the outside world and view it as it truly is when we live in our little sheltered corner of the world. We, in the developed areas of the world, are relatively filtered from... the ravaging violence and human slaughter that surrounds us.

Be thankful every day for your little piece of heaven, your tranquil territory and never pass by the wonderment of your routine life. It is easy to become blind to the outside world, and to be fixated on the minute distasteful events that we allow to create interference in our relative ease. Stop for a moment next time you are complaining about the cost of the groceries you just purchased, or the taxes you have to pay. Think in terms of what other people in third world countries are faced with every day. They are struggling daily with what we would consider simple survival skills. We obsess over what technology to buy our children to go back to school while many others in our world scramble to find food to feed their families or a safe place to hide their children, at least for today. School is not even a consideration.

It is difficult to comprehend others’ need for the bare necessities when we live in a cocoon surrounded by luxuries that we call common place. Next time you complain about your shortages and the difficulties you struggle with, think about the atrocities carried out daily all around the world. Reflect on how fortunate we are to be living this life of comfort and plenty.

Pay heed to the bountiful life that we enjoy and be thankful for all you have. Look at what you have (clean running water, shelter, electricity, freedom of choice and speech), not at what is missing. Know that you are blessed. How many would do anything to have your life, just for a day, never mind for a lifetime. Open your eyes and your heart and behold the wonderment of your life.
