WHEN TO HOLD ON AND WHEN TO LET GO

When to Hold On and When to Let Go

Every now and again we seem to come to a turning point in our lives and need to make choices. Do we continue on the path we are on, or do we move ahead in a new and often unknown direction.  We know that these decisions should not be taken lightly if the consequences can be life changing.

The choices we make at these crossroads can have profound impacts on our lives and sometimes the decisions can make us feel rather uncomfortable, yet on some level we have been guided to these crossroads in life.

We can wabble back and forth and after much deliberation, we make a decision.  We don’t know what the future holds regardless of whether we make a change or not. This can be frightening.  We venture forth nonetheless because the time is right and likely change is needed.

Although we do not know where life will now take us, there is something within us that confirms we are on the right path. We always go where we are meant to go, so we have to have some faith in the process and our journey. 

These crossroads may not come often, which is a blessing in many cases, and although we are uncertain as to where that might lead us, destiny’s gate is now open. 

We are ready for change on some level, or change would not have presented itself. 

Have faith in the process and know when to hold on and when to let go. You WILL go where you need to go.

OCTOBER SOLAR ECLIPSE

October Solar Eclipse

On October 2, 2024, we will be experiencing a Solar Eclipse in the sign of Libra at 10°. 

If you have natal planets either conjunct, opposition or square to this position, primarily the Conjunction and Opposition, you will be affected by these energies, and possibly in a powerful manner depending on other transits in place at the time when this eclipse is in effect.  You can allow a 3° orb of influence, so planets between 7° and 13° of this placement in the appropriate signs will be influenced.  All major aspects will have some effect on this placement. 

A few months leading up to this timing will begin to show what has potential to manifest.  This influence can be strong for about one year, but last as long in years as the eclipse lasts in hours.  According to www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2024-october-2 the first location to see the partial eclipse begins at approximately 11:43 a.m EDT and the last place to see the partial eclipse ends at approximately 5:47 EDT.

Since this eclipse is in the sign of Libra (you always must take into consideration the sign and the house placement of any eclipse), the main influence will have to do with relationships.  This may include your spouse or significant other, close friends or business associates.  It involves fairness, justice, balancing, harmonious yearnings and perhaps making things right. 

It often encompasses new beginnings or endings and opportunities for significant change.  There is often an important shift where we must let go of what was or the past and move ahead possibly in a new direction.  Important life events are often tied to when Eclipses’ energies take hold, and again the house position will define what area of life may be involved.  Transformation and change are key characteristics of eclipses.  Sometimes it can bring unexpected change when we least anticipate it, but this change is often just what is needed in the long haul.

Transiting Mercury is closely tied to the conjunction of the Sun and Moon during this eclipse, and this suggests that the mind is closely tied to what takes place.  You may have been thinking about things for some time and now is the time for action or when action takes place.  Sometimes destiny seems to prevail and much of what takes place is beyond our control.  Things change because they need to.  Intensions play a big part in what unfolds, and goals also come into play.

Along with Transiting Mercury, we also have a Grand Water Trine with Venus (love and affection), Mars (sexual energy and drive) and Saturn (a steadying effect which can solidify things and bring stability).  The Grand Water Trine suggests emotional connections have the potential of working well and moving along nicely.  You are self-sufficient at handling any events that may unfold, and you do not depend on others to do the work necessary or to move you in the intended direction.  The emotions may be kept under wraps at this time as you know you can handle anything that may surface, and things flow without obstruction.

Embrace the energies of the October Solar Eclipse which will be influenced by the energies of Libra. Let go of the past and move forward into your new direction.

FEAR AND OBSTRUCTIVE VIEWS

There is certainly justified fear.  There are many cases, when fear is in place to warn us of danger.

Fear, however, can also be a part of our life because of our perceptions and our belief structures.  We can live in fear of what might unfold even when there are no indicators that such an event is possible.  Our minds can trump good judgement and take us down roads that do not need to be travelled.  We can be swept away by our thoughts which are not based on reality.  We must step back and recognize our mind’s chatter for what it is and bring ourselves back into the moment (reality).

We cannot change what we do not recognize so recognition of the mind’s chatter is the first step.

Fear & Obstructive Views

Negative viewpoints on life events or people that we associate with can change the course of our relationships at home, with friends and co-workers. These viewpoints can also stand in the way of peace, mentally and emotionally. 

Forgive where forgiveness is appropriate. It is essential to look within at our own actions before we lay blame on others. Is our perception clear or is our judgement clouded?

If you are in danger or in an abusive relationship, do what you need to do to change this.

If someone has misspoke, a heartfelt conversation and forgiveness may be the appropriate action. 

Take the action needed to move forward whether this entails maintaining the relationship or moving on but do not hold a grudge.  Grudges hurt you; no one else.

Do not act out of hurt and haste when making decisions that are irreversible. Fear and obstructive views are detrimental. Haste and ego can lead to many years of wasted time or worse.
