Holm Astrology has been creating "Astrology" and "Food For Thought" posts for over 10 years.  Wix has taken over the Vista Print websites and as a result of the migration of our information, a large portion of our blog posts are currently lost. 

 

We realize our Astrology posts are vital to our students. 

 

If you do not find what you are looking for on this Blog page, please visit www.holmastrology.blogspot.com/ where you will find our missing blog posts.  There are over 2,660 posts pre September, 2023.

We apologize for the inconvenience but it is worth the jump over to our blogspot.


Events do not define us. Our response to events gives us our quality of life. Are we living life at a discounted rate or are we paying too much to just exist & missing enjoyment of living?
LIFE AT A DISCOUNTED RATE

As the old story goes, “you get what you paid for”.  If you are living life at a discounted rate, consider yourself lucky.  Most of us pay (balance of give and take) for what we enjoy in life either by retribution or through acts of kindness.  At some point, we get what we deserve. 

 

Living life to the fullest means that you are enjoying what life offers and sharing it with others either by direct contact or through gifts of kindness, caring, compassion, love and forgiveness.  Balance is always reached eventually. Although you may feel that life has been unfair to you thus far, perhaps you need to have a closer look and pay attention to what you have and not to what is missing.

 

In some cases, however, there are those living with hatred and deceit. Balance never seems to fall into place. Some suffer silently from recent experiences or from experiences from childhood. We likely will never know what has taken place with some individuals.

 

Until we walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, we have no concept of why they are who they are today. Balance or justice on some level will be served. Fairness is always in place even when we, as mortals, cannot perceive it. There is so much going on in life beneath the surface that we do not and cannot understand.

 

Justice will be served, balance will be reached, but we may not understand it.

 

Do not waste life searching for retribution because by doing so we are allowing an event or experience to live in our head and it is us who are paying the rent. Karma does not need our help. To seek revenge, perhaps by that shear desire for it, is actually affecting us in a negative way.

 

If we are waiting for life to bend to our wants because we believe we deserve it, we may be paying a high price for those expectations.  Don’t waste the opportunity to live by waiting for something to happen. We are only allowing that event to rob us of truly living. 

 

Events do not define us. Our response to events, especially attitude and focus, gives us our quality of life. Are we living life at a discounted rate or are we paying far too much to just exist and missing the enjoyment of living?

 

How we relate to ourselves has a huge impact on how we live our lives under current circumstances.

The influence of the Sun in our natal chart reflects our core self, our ego, our purpose in life, and so much more. The Sun is important, but we are so much more than just our Sun sign.

It is said that you can tell quite a bit about an individual just by the Sun, Moon and Ascendant in the birth chart (natal astrology chart). 

 

The Sun reveals who we are on an internal level.  Much will depend on the aspect configurations connected to the sun and the house that it resides in.  However, we all carry much of our inner personality from the influence of the Sun.

 

The Sun also represents the father figure in our life while the Moon represents the mother. Once again, you must take into consideration the aspects and the house placements of both to get more details on the energies. 

 

The Sun is representative of our goals in life.  There is a huge difference between someone who has their Sun in Aries and someone who has their Sun in Pisces.  Both have completely different paths in life, although they do share the fact that growth is important. With Pisces growth would be through service and spiritual advancement. With Aries, growth comes either through exploration or experience. Aries advancement in pursuits are on a more aggressive manner, or through lessons learned due to failure due to wanting things to take place quickly.

 

The Sun along with the North Node points towards our destiny and the way we will move forward to reach our summit.  Will we move forward in an unusual, eccentric and humanitarian manner (Aquarius) or through secret, internal transformations that might be considered taboo (Scorpio)?

 

The house placement is extremely important as we get a mixture of character traits depending on which house our Sun resides in.  Will we pursue life through communication techniques and teachings (Gemini/3rd house), or will we pursue life through material advancement and goals that push us to the very top of our objectives especially in our career (Capricorn/10th house)?

 

The Sun can determine what our health is like.  Is it robust because of influences from Jupiter and is it well aspected by the Ascendant and Mars?

 

Does the Sun have trines to Pluto which offers the potential for powerful regenerative capabilities? 

 

Is the Sun poorly aspected especially by the outer planets, and does it have negative implications from the Ascendant, the sixth and/or twelfth houses?

 

We can learn to adapt if the latter example is the case, although knowing this will help us and make us pay closer attention to our health.

 

Jupiter on the Ascendant can speak of gaining weight and Mars can speak of a fight for survival especially if challenged and close to the Ascendant. 

 

The whole chart must be carefully studied to obtain a clear and concise health analysis. 

 

Mercury must also be applied when reviewing the chart potential by the influence of the Sun as Mercury rules our pattern of thinking and will help define the potential Sun character traits, especially through the way we communicate.

 

Aspects from the Sun to other planets and angles will help define who we are and the way we express our uniqueness. 

 

We must also consider the decants as they will also color the kind of person we are.  Each sign is divided into 3 decants. Each decant is 10°, and are contained within the same element (Air, Water, Fire and Earth). The first 9° 59” would be a double Sun sign emphasis.

 

The influence of the Sun in our natal chart reflects our core self, our ego, our purpose in life, and so much more. The Sun is important, but we are so much more than just our Sun sign.

 

As we can see, the Sun sign is extremely important when it comes to who we are, and in this article we are just touching on the relevance of this extremely important energy in our Natal makeup.

Life creates changes.  Circumstances create change. Age creates change. The underlying you, however, never changes.  We are still the core person we have always been but we have adapted to live life as needed.
THE UNDERLYING YOU

The way we present ourselves to the outside world changes over life. Some of these changes can be drastic, often resulting from life experiences such as influences from other people’s opinions, life events, making adjustments to ourselves or simply becoming comfortable in our own skin.

 

In some cases, we make changes that are more internal. Others may not even realize them. In other cases, changes take place and we are unaware of them. Other’s comments bring the changes to our attention.

 

We are influenced by those we interact with and can take on their characteristics without being consciously aware of it. We may have habits that are pointed out by others. We then can take heed and make changes, if needed.

 

Whatever changes we make, they have to take place because we place importance on them not because we are trying to please others.

 

As we age and mature into ourselves, hopefully we learn to bend where we need to, stand firm when it’s appropriate and grow and learn from life’s experiences.  You can teach an old dog new tricks, contrary to the old  saying.

 

Life creates changes.  Circumstances create change. Age creates change. The underlying you, however, never changes.  We are still the core person we have always been but we have adapted to live life as needed.
