SOCIAL CONDITIONING

We are taught throughout our life, but especially at an early age, how to behave.  We learn primarily from our parents or primary care givers and gain more insight as we begin to mature into ourselves, which takes a lifetime.  We learn how to adapt to life’s situations often taught through experience.  We learn how to manage or overcome adversity.  We learn about love and affection, hopefully beginning at an early age with our parents and once we have learned to love ourselves, we learn how to share our love with those around us.

Social conditioning

We become conditioned to react or respond depending on our upbringing and self-study.

We can be dictated to by our peers and others.  We may sometimes wonder if we are just puppets interacting the way we should without our consent.  Are we supposed to behave this way or that way, or is this just what we have become accustomed to doing? 

We may follow advice but, in many cases, the best advice comes from within, that little voice within which we all hear but not often listen to.

We are not suggesting that we fight the advice we are given, but as adults, we should now be in a state of knowing of what is right and wrong. We can make up our own minds without the chatter from others.  Authority figures are not always right, but they are worth listening to if they are teaching from experience.  Many have had years of experience and can guide us in the appropriate direction.  Ultimately, however, the final decision is ours personally.

Do we follow along blindly or make our own decisions?

If we fall, we can always get back on our feet and learn from the experience.  These are the greatest life lessons.

In reality, we walk our own road, follow our own personal path, make our own decisions regardless of what other people have pushed on us. It is always up to us to make that final decision if we have the maturity to stop and question.

Life is the learning tool that we all share. We do not walk this road alone, although as mentioned, we walk our own road.  We should listen and then contemplate our own decisions (eliminating reaction) no matter what our social conditioning.  Follow your hearts and the advice that echoes within. 

Enjoy the passage, learn from life and all its teachings, share your knowledge with those that want to listen and live the life that suits your journey.

EVER-CHANGING BACKDROP OF OUR LIVES

Is there a shift taking hold in your life? 

Are you entering a new phase of development? 

Quite often after a period of what feels like stagnation, we begin to enter a new phase of progress.  Our focus may shift and we step in a new direction.  It’s time for growth!

This may be expected or more often than not, completely unexpected.  We become so wrapped up in the process that we don’t recognize that change and growth are happening.  In most cases, the entry level is subtle, and little seems to shift, but after time, we begin to notice that something seems different, that we are being drawn in a different direction.

In many cases, especially in the beginning, it is internal, but then the internal changes reflect out into our world as well. Life looks different. Our outlook seems brighter, colors more vibrant, the wind and temperature more outstanding.  Although the manner of expression seems to be directed towards outside stimuli, in reality we have already changed within.  Again, all things begin within and then are noticed on the outside.

The Ever-Changing Backdrop of our Lives

The shift does not have to be a total life change (but it can be). Change can manifest itself in small but important relationship changes, occupational transitions, or even changes in our appearance.  Outside manifestation moves in areas that we will recognize and perhaps others will as well, (although at times, only we realize the change that is happening).

Prior, we may have been felt we were ready for change or knew that something had to shift. Alternatively, we may not have had any idea that a shift was coming.  One thing is for certain, the changes taking hold, whether barely recognizable or life changing, are in place for a reason. 

Shifts happen when change is required.  We are ready even if we don’t feel we are.  The ever-changing backdrop of our lives is significant. We will move forward even when we hold back.  Shifting is part of our life’s purpose, and it takes hold when appropriate.

AQUARIUS FULL MOON 2025

As mentioned in our articles yesterday on aspects to the Full Moon August, 2025, on Saturday, August 9, 2025, we will experience a Full Moon in the sign of Aquarius at 17°.  Read more about the two kite configurations that will have an undeniable influence on those individuals that the kite configurations are activated in their charts: https://www.holmastrology.com/post/full-moon-aspects-august-2025

The energies of a Full Moon evolve around the completion of a cycle, and this is when we reap the rewards of our efforts for goals set when the New Moon was in the same sign some six months ago previous.  Again with this Full Moon, the sign of influence is Aquarius.  During the energies of a Full Moon is also the time for letting go of any old, outdated expressions or ways of living and moving forward in a new direction.

This Full Moon will affect those with planets in their natal chart that are either Conjunct or in Opposition within a 3° orb to the position of the Full Moon (again 17° Aquarius).  To simplify, we are strictly focusing on the Full Moon itself in this article and not the two kit configurations. 

Aquarius Full Moon 2025

Due to the influence of Aquarius and its ruling planet being Uranus, this can be a time of deep-seated change which, by some, could be considered radical in its expression.  This may come due to a sudden unexpected realization that the way things have been now need revitalized or a new, and different approach.

Not only is this energy personal but because this Full Moon is in the sign of Aquarius (the most humanitarian sign of the Zodiac), it will also influence mankind on some level.  How has your approach to your personal life made a difference in the lives of others? 

What do you now need to leave behind to formulate a plan that fosters change that is so needed in our world? 

Change begins at home and within the framework of your own personal circle and then spreads outward because of the ripple effect.

We are all individuals sharing this existence, but we can work together to create a brighter future for mankind as a whole. This Full Moon’s placement can help move us in that direction.  This energy is of a humanitarian concern and needs to be addressed.

Aquarius brings needed change, often disruptive and unexpected due to its ruler Uranus, but the change that is required is often recognized by us beforehand. We are provided with time to make the required changes and if we don’t address the situation then quite often the change comes at us from all different directions, and the energy of the change may not be as enjoyable because it is forced on us.

With the Aquarius Full Moon 2025, it is important to act and make changes when the requirement is first recognized. Take the initiative so that the change is not forced on you.
