TUMULTUOUS CONDITIONS


Are you affected deeply by world conditions and the challenging situations taking place? 

Some find it difficult to stay centered as a result of current world events.  Some question where humanity is heading.  Hate crimes seem to be forefront.  Racial discrimination, which we should expect to be getting better, in certain areas, appears to be on the increase.  Some tell us that global conditions cause worry and they are concerned if we are going to reach a boiling point.

We have to question if media coverage feeds into these focuses with their continued repetitive coverage.  Would it balance out if there were equal coverage of stories based on balance, love and respect? 

It is important to remain diligent in our effort for world peace especially during time of unrest. 

It certainly is much easier to remain calm and spread peace when life itself is calm but our example of peace and love is far more important in the face of unrest.  Transformations can be challenging and change does not come without certain hardships and hurdles.  The hard lessons always are the most valuable lessons.

There are many working tirelessly in some manner towards peace and there certainly is power in numbers.  No matter our race, religion, monetary value, beliefs, etc, we are one…each a part of the integral whole.   To cast anyone aside is to cast aside a part of self.  Each of us is a fundamental part of the whole puzzle. 

We are souls, sometimes lost within this material experience.  Our time here is temporary.  Do not squander it.  We CAN create peace and experience love.  It is part of our journey if we allow. 

Stand strong but stand together.  Facilitate action by being action.  Let the love within radiate out.

TRANSITING PLUTO CONJUNCT NATAL JUPITER


The potential for success and growth during a conjunction between Pluto and Jupiter depends much on the effort and the approach you are using during this period.  You will have the ability to pursue your goals and aspirations when this aspect is in your chart, but will you move ahead with the energies offered? 

Will you allow the mind to interfere and obstruct your efforts because of ego intervention?  Ego can certainly have an impact when dealing with the energies of Pluto.  The proper frame of mind and the ability to motivate yourself is essential to take advantage of these energies.   You have the availability of a powerful push if you need it and will find persevere in the face of adversity, if presented.  You will be able to succeed in many areas of life with this aspect.  Take a look at the houses involved with this conjunction when and if you have this aspect in your chart.  The house of the conjunction and the house cusp ruled by Sagittarius will be the areas of life that are being affected by this conjunction.

You may be reviewing your goals in life and how you fit into the overall flow of your journey.  Do you fit well with others?  Are your objectives for the betterment of all concerned? 

You will have to examine your priorities before you push ahead.  Make sure that your actions are not to build your ego and that others can also benefit because of your actions.

This can certainly be a metaphysical or spiritual connection if this is where you choose to place your focus.  Both planets are geared in this direction and Jupiter will foster growth and expansion, while Pluto brings forth a rebirth of your focal ideologies.  Regeneration and a resurgence of spirituality may be high on the agenda and a new religious (we are not speaking of traditional religion though this too may be the case) outlook may be the outcome.  You have the perseverance and aptitude to move forward in almost any endeavour you wish to undertake now.

Sometimes we need to take a good close look within and see what we need to cultivate and what needs to be revamped or removed.  It is best to be honest at this time as we cannot fool ourselves and the energies at work can bring forth change that might not be pleasant if we are being untrue to ourselves. 

Growth and some form of prosperity are the rewards for a job well done and Jupiter offers this, but some digging is required.  Get to the bottom of any situation that needs rectifying at this time.  You have the proper aptitude to walk that road with integrity now and move ahead in leaps and bounds never looking back once you make your decision.  The changes brought forth will be permanent and also what is required for the growth that you seek.

Pluto is all about transformation and regeneration and will aid in truth in your endeavours undertaken during this aspect.  Pluto will only make this conjunction once in your life, so make sure you use the energies at hand to accomplish something worthwhile and satisfying.

This is not a universal aspect happening to everyone at the moment as it involves a natal Astrology chart planet.  Check you transits and progressions to see when and if this aspect will materialize in your chart.

RESPONSIBILITY


It is imperative to love yourself and certainly to be authentic.  These ultimately will lead us to peace and contentment.

Love yourself first, even the perceived flaws.  Love who you are and be grateful for your individuality and your freedom for self-expression.  You are unique.  You are love (no matter how buried that love feels to be).  You possess kindness (utilizing this attribute is a choice).  You possess all of the wonderful qualities that you strive for.  Let them blossom.

You owe yourself the luxury of being yourself.  Stand tall and appreciate the reflection in your own mirror.  Be thankful that you are who you are. 

Take time for yourself and give to yourself all of the benefits that you bestow on others.  Recognize that you deserve these just as much as anyone else. 

The rest of life falls into place once you look after your own self-love requirements. 

You are the best person you can be; love yourself for this. 

Spread your inner love outwards until you overflow and this love spills into the world around you. 

Be yourself especially to others.  Be proud of who you are.  There is never a need to hide. 

Happiness does not come from outside sources.  It is found within.  Take a good honest look.  Recognize the wonderment of YOU.  Take responsibility for your own well-being and happiness.  You are worth it!

TRANSITING PLUTO SQUARE NATAL SUN (Libra and Aries)


Transiting Pluto is currently in the sign of Capricorn and will remain in this sign for approximately another seven years. Those that are born with their Sun in Libra or with their Sun in Aries from approximately 8 to 29 degrees will be experiencing this square in their birth charts, at one point or another.  Remember, check the house position of transiting Pluto, the house position of your natal Sun and the house cusp that is ruled by Scorpio to get a clearer picture of what areas of life are affected by this aspect.

Pluto is known to purge and to assist in uncovering different facets of life.  It helps you to uncover information that needs an honest review and then expects that you make appropriate changes as necessary.  Pluto often brings an end to conditions in order for something new to emerge.  

Pluto in the square aspect often produces challenging conditions and also stimulates action particularly when it comes to your goals in life and who you are as an individual.

Pluto will test your resolve and your self-control.  Its energies will push you ahead in life when it comes to ambition.  Pluto can be somewhat relentless as it moves through the areas of life represented by the house positions involved.  There is often power struggles as your “will” is being tested.  If you force your opinions on others during this time, you will more than likely experience much opposition.  If, however, you are working for the general good for those involved, you may find that you do not have much disagreement coming from outside sources. 

The Sun deals with your life’s objectives and the will to move ahead.  The ego is stimulated during transits to the Sun and it will seem very important to have things right.  There will be those that are opposed to your objectives, but you must stand strong in the face of opposition and follow what you believe in, unless of course you are not allowing others to provide you with necessary information.  If you try to avoid what this aspect is attempting to convey to you, life might challenge you through more difficult conditions and force you into action.  Pluto is relentless and its lessons are necessary.

Under extreme conditions (this would only apply if there are other factors in the chart suggesting the same overall picture) you may find that you feel over-burdened and that you cannot continue along the same path.  This can lead to nervous disorders and an undoing of sorts which can be hard to put back together.  If by chance you fit into this category, seriously consider seeking professional assistance as a little assistance would make this aspect easier to handle.  Although squares are always considered challenging, it is up to us to handle these energies and take whatever action is appropriate for the situation.  Fighting these energies creates difficulty; recognizing the need for change and moving on this recognition, creates much easier flow.

This transit is in place to build character and strength.  The energies can be used to assist you in many ways.

SUN IN VIRGO, AUGUST 23, 2017 Part II (Forecast)


Part I of our Virgo focus was posted on Wednesday, August 23, 2017 and it touched on characteristics and other Sun influences in the Natal (birth) Chart.  Today we continue by taking a look at the aspect between transiting Neptune and the Sun in Virgo and its influence.

Those individuals with their Sun in Virgo from about 4 degrees to about 20 degrees have transiting Neptune in opposition to their Sun.  The weight of the world may be playing havoc in your life if your sun falls between these degrees in your birth chart.  This havoc often results in nervous ailments.  You may not have much energy due to not taking care of your health.  Some Virgos may experience improver diagnosis of issues or the wrong drugs being prescribed for an ailment.  Make sure that you have blood work done so that you get correct diagnosis of any issue.  The issues may not be serious as it could be as simple as low iron. 

Sometimes life’s pressures are magnified by relationship issues often brought on by third party interference or lack of honesty.  Lies and deceit can be part of the process of this aspect, but do not over analyse.  Make sure you have all the facts and your mind is not running wild with misinformation.  Sometimes confusion is a big part of what takes place with this aspect.  Make sure that you ask questions especially as for information from those that you trust.  Do not take anything at face value and be sure those you trust are deserving of your trust.
 
Some lose faith in life under the influence of this aspect and must guard against becoming overly critical of themselves and of others.  It is essential to push yourself and stay positive for if you do, this can also be a period of spiritual learning as a result of these experiences.  If you choose to join some religious or spiritual group, research the group and the programs they offer before you commit yourself.  Again, you could easily be led astray under this influence. 

Often times after some type of dysfunction, this transit will act as a stimulator or trigger to spiritual teachings.  Some Virgos will initiate a new course of action under this transit and develop a new sense of self through self-realization techniques. 

Remember to not be overly hard on yourself when you are self examining. 

Remind yourself that the difficulties this transit may bring have a beginning and an end.  Hard lessons frequently have a very beneficial end result.  Take advantage of the energies present at this time as this will be the only time you have this opposition in your chart.  Do not become self-delusional and do not get caught up in what feels like life’s fragmented state.  This will pass and the benefits will be a new understanding especially of self.  Your goals will be much more clear when Neptune’s transit is complete.

THE RIVER OF LIFE


No matter what our expectations may be, life is always on track.  There are always many twists and turns on the journey.  It certainly is not always a smooth ride; and after relentlessly paddling up stream and getting nowhere, we generally allow the boat of life to turn around and flow with the current.  Certainly, we have to have a little faith in that process.  The current (events in life) is set in motion to guide and assist us throughout our journey.  Our expectations and attitude can make the ride rather rough or they can make this journey enjoyable.

We can certainly make adjustments along the way but remember we will never conquer the current by trying to paddle up stream.  Our focus and our attitude towards the journey are what guide our boat.  If we are unhappy with our journey, we have to examine why we feel that way.  What expectations have we put in place?  What lesson do we need to learn to continue downstream?  Nothing within the river is there to hinder our journey.  The rocks are not there for our convenience or detriment.  They just are.  If we run into one, maybe it was time to stop and utilize the rock as an anchor to take time to appreciate the view. 

When we come to a “Y” in the river, we can take either route.  Both will lead us to the ocean.  One may have more rapids than the other but once we have committed there is no turning back.  You can’t place the blame on anyone or anything.  The route with the rapids may be more of a struggle but the lesson learned to navigate safely are invaluable. 

Life has many choices and paths to follow.  There are many avenues of expression along the river of life.  We cannot wish the obstacle to be gone but we can certainly learn to maneuver around them or use them to our advantage.    Remain positive throughout all of life’s experiences.  Stay true to yourself and do what must be done.  Never give in to negativity and remember, allowing is not a form of letting go.  You have what it takes to overcome all of the obstacles that come between you and contentment. 

If you get stranded as most of us do from time to time, do not be afraid to reach for the life lines thrown to you.  Remember, we are not alone in this journey.

SUN IN VIRGO, AUGUST 23, 2017 - Part One


Those born with their Sun in the sign of Virgo could well be defined as conscientious, as everything that they put their hearts into is well done.  They seek perfection in most all that they do.  They give attention to detail, although they can get carried away and become overly fussy. 

There is a tendency to worry too much because of this attention to detail.  They see every little flaw in life and in others but see this to an extreme within themselves.  They are quite thoughtful and caring individuals and have good intensions.  Virgo individuals can be of great assistance to anyone in need.  Because they truly care, some Virgos or Virgoans can become a little too interfering although their intent is simply to help.  Service on some level is a major part of their personality.

Virgo is an earth sign (along with Taurus and Capricorn) and is known to be practical, earthy, dependable, conservative and often sensual.  There is often a love for material comforts with aims to achieve financial security through dedicated hard work.  If they carry their need for security in life to an extreme, they can become overly materialistic and worry about being able to preserve their wealth.  As a result, some may begin preparing and saving retirement very early in life. 

Everything must have its place with the traditional Virgo.  If things are not in place, this is a clear indication that life is not in order and they are going through some sort of strife.

With the Sun in Virgo, there are a few other significators in the natal chart which might prove useful in determining specific characteristics.  Check the house placement of the Sun in the birth chart.  With any chart (not just Virgo), not only do we have the characteristics linked with our sun sign but the house placement carries the flavour of the natural sign ruler of that house.  If, for example, you have your Virgo Sun in the first house, you also have Aries characteristics linked with the Virgo characteristics.  A second house Sun will carry Taurus tendencies and a third house Sun will carry Gemini characteristics and so on. 

Also take into consideration the decan that your Sun sign is in; each 10 degrees are defined by decans.  If your Sun is within the first 10 degrees up to 9 degrees 59 minutes Virgo, you are a double Virgo.  If your Sun sign is in the second 10 degrees so 10 to 19 degrees 59 minutes, you are Virgo/Capricorn and if your Sun sign is in the third 10 degrees so 20 to 29 degrees 59 minutes, you are Virgo/Taurus.  This will bring to light more influences within the Sun sign delineation.

Part II of our Virgo write up will be posted Friday, August 25, 2017 in which we will touch on the aspect between transiting Neptune and the Sun in Virgo and its influence (a partial forecast).

MERCURY RETROGRADE - August 13 to September 5, 2017


Mercury goes into retrograde in motion three to four times each year (appearing to be moving backward).  Mercury went retrograde on August 13 and will remain so until September 5, 2017.  

Mercury is in the sign of Virgo for the whole current retrograde cycle.  It is suggested that Mercury retrograde will affect people who have it in retrograde in their birth charts more than those who have it direct in their birth charts.  As Mercury moves through your horoscope make note of the house in which it is located and check if it conjuncts any planet or angle during its retrograde motion.  The astrological sign it is in during this cycle will be reflective of mental adjustments required.  It may also affect the area of life dictated by the house positions that are affected by the cycle.  It is also suggested that you review your Mercury’s placement in your natal chart, its house position and the aspects made to it because much of what your natal chart suggests may be area’s that will be affected by Mercury’s current transit.

Mercury retrograde is not a huge life-changing event; however it deserves mention due to the fact that Mercury is associated with the workings of the mind.  As Mercury begins to slow down or at least appears to slow down, some experience a slowing down in daily affairs and this created an opportunity to reflect and contemplate life’s events.  It is considered a chance to go over old material that you may have ignored or left buried previously.  You may review decisions or make new decisions; however,quite often the best laid plans go astray during the retrograde motion.  It is best to wait until Mercury has completed its retrograde cycle and then if possible move forward in the intended direction once it has returned direct.  It is frequently indicated that the chance for plans to work out after Mercury goes direct is far greater and more often the outcome is positive.

It is suggested that we remain flexible during times of Mercury retrograde and not to sign any legal documents or agreements.  There is a better success rate after the retrograde motion is finalized.  This is not to say that you should worry if plans are made or documents need to be signed, as often times if Mercury is not making contacts with natal planets or is not poorly aspected in the birth chart, things remain relatively smooth flowing and little will interfere with plans. 

This is a time of self-study, a time to reflect on who you are and a time to make decisions on what steps you might take to make improves.  It has been suggested that individuals experience issues from events in their past, or they have not completed the lesson or have left issues unfinished.  You now have the opportunity to make corrections or make alternate plans when Mercury moves into direct motion again.

It suggests that people and personal ideas are often the key to moving ahead in the proper direction.  Some experience insights on alternate levels that propel them forward in a new direction.  In most cases (unless highly afflicted in the natal chart and afflicted in transit through connection with planets or angles) it is usually not a time to be overly concerned about as very little may actually materialize. 

Use this time to activate your mental process as it now becomes stimulated and opportunity is being presented.  Any area that has to do with health and vitality as well as business-oriented concerns may be addressed now.  When Mercury goes direct, you can act on these things in a positive manner. 

Deep thinking and reflection for the betterment of all concerned can now be awakened during this retrograde motion.

TRUE COLOURS



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

Are you comfortable with a chameleon lifestyle?  Are you comfortable showing your own true colours? 

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

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

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

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

SOLAR ECLIPSE AUGUST 21, 2017, PART II



On Wednesday, August 16 we reviewed the energies of the Solar Eclipse more focused on the USA as it is the country which will experience the solar eclipse directly.  Today we will look at it on a more personal level.

You will have to have a close look at where this eclipse falls in your birth (natal) chart (house position) to see what area of life will be affected.  You should also check to see if you have any planets close by angle to 28 degrees of Leo.  The energies of these bodies or angles (Ascendant/Midheaven) will be very relevant to how this Eclipse plays out in your life.  Remember eclipses are meant to create action and bring with them change, required change that over a period of time manifests and translates into something positive.  The number of hours that a Solar eclipses lasts translating into the same number of years that the energies will affect us.  (For your information, Lunar eclipses last in months the number of hours that they are in effect.)  As a result, anyone that is affected by the degree of this Leo Solar Eclipse will experience the energies for a total of approximately 2.5 years.

The closer a planet or angle falls to the degree of the Solar eclipse (28 Leo), the more powerful the influence in your life.  It is not wise to sit back waiting for an anticipated potential unfolding in your life, but be prepared and see how things naturally unfold over time.  Often you feel the energies begin to take effect before the eclipse event, and you already will feel what area of life might be highlighted.  Sometimes things happen out of the blue, but often we have inclinations as to what to expect.  The area of change is often a well-known fact and only needs stimulation to become activated.

Conjunctions (0 degrees) to this degree will be the most powerful and suggest an emphasis.  Square (90 degrees) aspects will indicate challenges and oppositions (180 degrees) usually suggest action as a result of other people.  Quincunx’s (150 degrees) suggest alterations are required, and you will have to make adjustments.  Trines (120 degrees) usually imply easy flow and opportunities, while sextiles (60 degrees) suggest being in the right place at the right time so that you can to take advantage of a situations and make something out of this.

If Saturn is involved in the equation, it usually suggests some challenging conditions and roadblocks or interferences with plans or life objectives.  These challenges can be testing grounds for further growth and you are actually building a foundation that will stand the test of time in the long haul.  If Uranus is involved it suggests change of conditions, sometimes erratic but always necessary change.  Uranus often indicate a breaking free of restrictions that may have held you back previous.  Mars implies aggressive action and forced movement, sometimes pointing towards anger or even violence.  Venus may suggest opportunities to gain financially or a new love.  Jupiter implies growth through higher learning and depending on other factors in the chart could suggest luck in obtaining benefits and opportunities.

It is possible to have a lot happening during the phase and duration of the Solar Eclipse.  It will certainly be interesting to see how it affects the United States and their leader. 

Much has been leading up to this time.  Don’t expect a magnitude of events to unfold and don’t waste any time focusing on possible disasters.  Always remain calm and have a positive outlook.  Center your thoughts on the positive outcomes that will follow.  

Do not ignore any challenging condition; work towards resolving them.  Avoid placing attention on what you feel is missing in life; rather focus on what you works in your life and always be appreciative of what life has provided you with.  Even the harsh events bring valuable lessons that foster growth and understanding over time.

DO NOT LOSE HOPE


Few, if any, of us will complete this journey without at one point or another experiencing some form of feelings of hopeless, and we may not know which way to turn.  There are many reasons why we reach this emotional point and the list of possibilities is endless.  If we sit to examine the exact cause of these feelings, we normally realize that where we heading or what we are experiencing simply does not fit (our expectations) where we would like to be going or what we prefer to be experiencing. 

What can be done under these circumstances?  Where do we turn? Who can we rely on?

In many cases, life seems to dictate.  The only thing we can do to alleviate the problem is to let go of the reigns, to release our need for full control.  Is doing this such a terrible thing?  Have you been in care and control of all of the things that have happened in your life this far? 

I believe that the destination is predetermined, how we arrive there is our choice.  We can make adjustments along the way to make the road smoother, but is sitting back and letting go a good choice?

In some way, even under the harshest conditions, life’s events help us to grow.  All lessons contain valuable information and growth for us.  These lessons may be taking place to push us in a new direction.  We may eventually understand that events can teach us how to be humble; to make us more aware of others, to make us aware of all of the gifts we are given in life or perhaps to help us to focus on the moment.  In reality we are never off track; however, sometimes it may appear (feel) that way.

Our journey never stops, even after death.  We know even through science that energy is perpetual. 

We can find peace in this moment.  Accept what is.  Walk willingly with the lessons instead of fighting the inevitable and have faith in the process. 

We are here to learn; be open but stay strong to your commitments.  There is always something new in store for us.  We are always on path.  We have the strength to overcome.  We will gain insight through our experiences.  Life can be a wonderful experience and every little detail is special and is worth experiencing (do not let your reactions and expectations to these experiences take away from the lessons).  Enjoy the ride, while living in the moment.

SOLAR ECLIPSE AUGUST 21, 2017, PART I


The solar eclipse which will occur on August 21, 2017 begins at approximately 1:10 pm and finishes at 3:49 pm EST.  It will have a lapse time of 2 hours and 39 minutes.  This solar eclipse is more fully visible in the United States and in particular from Oregon to South Carolina.  It is said that the area experiencing the greatest degree of totality will have the most profound effects.  Canada, in general, will see approximately 73 percent of this event. 

This eclipse has been names the “Great American Eclipse”.  I have read that the United States has not experienced a total solar eclipse since 1918.  Needless to say, this energy should be significant. 

In Toronto, the Solar Eclipse will peak at approximately 2:32 pm.  Please be sure to take the necessary precautions if viewing this phenomenon.  As most of us are aware, viewing the Sun directly can cause permanent eye damage.

This event is aligned with the star Regulus, which has been associated with world leaders and in mundane Astrology, this would indicate the leader of the United States, Donald Trump.  According to the birth data circulating, this eclipse falls on Donald Trump’s rising sign.  If the information on his birth time is accurate, this is quite interesting, to say the least.  According to the Astrologer and mystic Donna Woodwell, an eclipse is a reflection of what we already know and she suggests that it will be a crossroad for American history in the making.  This is yet to be verified.

Eclipses, throughout history have been associated with times of strife and they are said to bring with them change....needed change.  A therapeutic healing takes place through a new understanding often brought on through actual events or an inherent understanding which is processed on a psychic or intuitive level.  It should be understood that we are all connected and should consider each and every human beings as our brothers and sisters.  Each action taken by one individual affects every other individual on some level.  As a result, careful consideration should be taken before we act or react, particularly as a result of outside stimuli.  Our attitude and belief structure should always be aimed at the betterment of humanity as a whole not the opposite.

This eclipse occurs in the sign of Leo at 28 degree.  Leo’s (Lion or king of the jungle) energies are associates with being forthright, and are heartfelt.  The energies of Leo at times can be ego driven.  Leo aims for control of any given situations and can lead the way through acts of determination, a strong push for success and a never-ending pursuit to assist others through their control.  Leo can be demanding although selfless in its nature.  It can also be relentless and driven as it is a fire sign which is enveloped with enthusiasm.  Leo wants recognition for all its hard work and enjoys appreciation.  Many have somewhat define President Donald Trump accordingly.  His primary drive appears to be to achieve power and control at the very least.

This is a quick look at the energies of this Solar eclipse in connection with the country that it will have the most direct energies with.  On Friday, we will review the more personal effects of the energies of this eclipse.

TRIVIAL BATTLES


Some individuals, when we feel quite comfortable with their way of living, could tend to push their way of thinking on others.  Many of us, with this comfort, express ourselves more frequently with ease. 

No one want to be easily led astray by others but we certainly do not want to dictate to others how they should be living their lives.  If we find ourselves dictating, we should ask ourselves if this is a result of ego. 

Are the things we fight for, for the benefit of our ego?  Are we trying to achieve something in order to assist or to dominate?  There can sometimes be a fine line and we regularly have to examine our true motives.

If we frequently fight battles to prove that we are right, we must ask ourselves why we feel compelled to prove we are.  Is this ego (either through the feeling of superiority or as a result of lacking confidence)?  If ego is taken out of the equation, why is it necessary to prove you are right?  If this is truth for you, does it matter what others think?  Do we have to be right?  Are we open to learn?  Is it really that important to be right?  What purpose does it serve to stringently stick to a thought and as a result, be closed to other possibilities?  How does this help our growth?

Most battles of the minds are staged by ego.  Needing to be right is a need of ego but not of the higher self.  Ego is reluctant to let go. 

Does proving yourself to be right change who you know yourself to be? 

Will winning that final battle prove anything of importance in your growth? 

Most arguments are a difference of opinion and in the bigger picture, opinions are quite trivial. 

What are you able to learn when you let go? 

What are you learning when you persist and insist? 

We are not suggesting that you allow others to stifle who you are.  Some things are worth fighting for but many are not. 

What value do you place on peace of mind?

JUPITER SEXTILE SATURN (AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2017)


Transiting Jupiter and Saturn are in sextile to one another for all of August and September, 2017.  They will be very tight, (within one degree) from August 22 to September 2, 2017.  Those with natal Planets in and around the 21st degree, especially in the signs of Libra or Sagittarius will be powerfully experiencing these planetary links.  Transiting Jupiter is in the sign of Libra and transiting Saturn is in the sign of Sagittarius.

Sextiles are considered fortunate aspects, although somewhat diffused when related to Saturn.  Saturn tends to restrict the flow of good luck and prosperity that is often linked with Jupiter.  It may restrict these energies to a certain degree, but in return for the positive reinforcing energies of Jupiter, the energies ask that you pursue the path that you may be following without reluctance or fear of failure or shortcomings.  Saturn will insist on diligence and will push you towards hard work.  Saturn’s energy wants an eye for details and insists that you not miss any steps along the way in order to achieve the best possible results.

Saturn and Jupiter together can make you a little reluctant in your pursuits and suggests that there may be some stumbling blocks in achieving your objectives.  It probably won’t be easy and you may worry about possible failure or falling short but let this go.  You should take advantage of the opportunities at hand and the promise of growth and expansion (with some effort on your part) with the potential of becoming something worthwhile.

This transit often is related to business and personal pursuits, but it can vary from one individual to the next as much depends on the houses involved and the aspects between these two giants in the personal astrology birth chart.  The full birth chart always tells the story.

Jupiter is linked to spirituality and higher principles of learning as well as opportunities for growth in religious teachings, spirituality and intellectual understandings.  What you experience during this transit is much more reliable than if the energies were somehow linked to, let’s say, Neptune or Uranus if they were in poor aspect in the birth chart.  What you work on now has a very real potential to amount to something worthwhile in time.  You must be flexible enough however to make adjustments to your plans along the way.  Long range objectives are what this energy influences, and you can work towards these types of goals.  This is not a quick release project or an answer that comes over night.  You will have to work hard to achieve your goals and also learn the art of patience with an understanding that “Rome was not built in a day”.  The energies you put into a project will be returned to you over time, but be sure to lay the foundation now under the influence of this aspect.

PERSEIDS METEOR SHOWERS


For those of us fascinated by the events in our sky, the perseids Meteor showers will peak today August 12, 2017 at 1 p.m. according to Nassau.

Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation circulating on such events on the internet and we will not be experiencing the 150 to 200 sightings per hour. According to Nassau there could be up to 80 sightings an hour. Currently our wonderful bright moon will cause light pollution which could reduce the sightings to 40-50 per hour. Nonetheless, it will still be worth the watch if we can escape the clouds.

EXTENSIONS IN THE HOROSCOPE


Many people when they think of Astrology, they think only of the Sun Sign.  There are many other components and variables within the birth chart and each of these will affect the characteristic or energies of the Sun sign or solar placement. 

The Sun Sign’s energies reflect the inner personal qualities.  The Moon’s energies govern our emotional needs expressed through its sign and house position.  There are many other influences beyond even the Sun and the Moon that affect our character traits, the way we respond to life and how someone else would perceives us.

You may question why a person who has a Pisces Sun sign (Pisces being gentle, peaceful and amiable) can be intrusive, demanding, self centred and in general display aggressive behaviours.  These latter characteristics are quite contrary to the characteristics of the typical Piscean Sun Sign.  Why is this person so different and displays little of their Sun Sign’s character traits? 

Perhaps this individual has a strong Aries placement in their chart, with the Ascendant in Aries and the Moon, Mars and Jupiter all in Aries or in the first house.  These planets may be poorly aspected.  This strong Arian influences will mask the soft and gentle Pisces demeanor, perhaps to an extreme, unless this individual has learned how to masterl these strong character traits and use them to their advantage.

We all have the potential, regardless of our birth chart, to make any challenging aspect work in our favour.   This is the purpose of difficult aspects in our natal chart.  We are not at the mercy of our birth chart.  We are the orchestrator of our destiny and have all the tools available to us within our birth chart to activate any aspect and use it to its fullest  positive potential.

Getting back to why this Pisces Sun individual displays such non-Piscean tendencies......We must look deep within the chart and examine all the aspects and variables within the horoscope to come up with a complete picture of the personal makeup of this individual.  This is what makes each of us unique and one onto our selves.  One Pisces Sun sign individual will be different from another Pisces Sun sign individual.  However deep down inside, those qualities of Pisces are still strong even though not shown.  The individual described above can utilize these strong Aries character traits and use these talents to enhance their Piscean nature, perhaps through spreading compassion and spirituality (through their own self-expression or through enterprise that aids others in self-realization).  This individual would have a very strong drive and could express the Piscean nature though very worthwhile opportunities.

There are many avenues of expression and many techniques to release our inner potential. Through our spiritual evolution, we slowly unlock our natal potential.  By going deep into the astrological chart, we can uncover our true potential and our purpose behind this incarnation.  Astrology provides information and guidance into our life’s pursuit, but WE always make the decisions and must take the actions required.

BASKING IN THE TRUE ENERGIES


This is a special moment, as every moment is special.  Enjoy it.  Live it. 

We have come into this life to experience all that is available - to experience life’s moments, each special in its own way. 

It is our time to investigate and to uncover all of the hidden gems that reside within and around us.  Seek out all of the treasures... all the unique characteristics that create us as individual.

The best person that we can be already exists.  Allow this person to emerge but first we have to acknowledge that we are this person.  Let go of those characteristics we feel we must possess to please others and allow the true self to surface.  For some of us, it takes a long time to be comfortable enough to come out of hiding or from under our veils we use to face the world, mainly due to the fact that we do not associate ourselves with the potential that lies within.  Many individuals do not believe or realize that they possess the qualities that they wish to develop.  We stop ourselves short because of our limiting beliefs.

We can learn to be comfortable as that person we currently suppress inside.  We, with our focus and expectations, are our only limitation. 

Many of us restrict our beliefs and expectations.  If our beliefs and focus mould who we are, is it not then imperative to staying focused on the positive?  Yes, this does sometimes take work.  The sky is the limited, however.  We can alter our perceptions of who we think we are.  Who we allow to exist is a continuous process and the expansion never ceases if we strive to develop.

We can bask in the true energies of who we are at any given time.  Believe and move forward with the blooming of our true self.
