A CELEBRATION OF LIFE

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE

The first thing that comes to mind when we hear “Celebration of Life” is that someone has died and now we get-together to celebrate who they were and what they achieved in this life. 

It is rather unfortunate that we do not celebrate life before it comes to an end.  Why do we have to wait for people to pass over to celebrate? 

Would it not be more appropriate to celebrate life by living?

Perhaps, we can celebrate life in each and every moment.  Let’s recognize what we have and what we experience regularly.

Life could be so much worse.  Look around you, both close to home and on the world stage.  We have countless reasons to celebrate.

Do not let those that want to divide us steal our peace. There can be too much stress and anxiety if we focus on all the hostility, critical discourse, and derogatory statements. Scroll by the insults and divisiveness. The first step is to create peace by starting in your own little corner of the world.  

Those in positions of power must find ways to create widespread peace, not through violence and war but through caring and compassion.  If we all worked together, we could create a positive, peaceful place for all to live. It takes more than money but the wealthy can help.  It takes an attitude of equality and effort, no matter who we are.

Even in our close relationships, do not let those that are unhappy or focused in the wrong areas of their life steal your peace. Remind yourself where those comments and actions are generated.  

There is an answer, but this answer begins with you.  Your efforts are not inconsequential.

We can help one another. Let’s walk together rather than focusing on our differences and divisive messages. Focus is our primary tool.  Use it wisely. Focus on a celebration of life.

ONE STEP FORWARD AND THEN ANOTHER

ONE STEP FORWARD AND THEN ANOTHER

The saying usually says, “one step forward then one step back” or “one step forward and two steps back”. These suggest that we are not progressing or that we even losing ground. 

I prefer the more progressive statement “one step forward and then another step forward”.

Taking a step back does not have to be a regression.  We can step back to see things more clearly or we can take a couple steps backwards to tweak or correct something. 

A step or two back may feel like a failure at times, but in reality, we have learned a valuable lesson for moving forward. Challenges are not put in place to punish us.  They are valuable lessons to teach us.

The difficulty lies in our perception and our willingness to keep pushing forward.  What was learned by our step back?

How can this be used to assist in moving forward?

Looking at life from a positive more constructive perspective opens the door for more positivity in your life.  It may not look that way in the moment, especially if what you are working towards is now being held back or may even seem like it is in jeopardy. 

Instead of feeling defeated, take the information and use it! Continue stepping forward with the understanding that a delay may indicate that the timing was off or that you needed to restart armed with this new information.  You may be surprised and even thrilled with the outcome.

So, one step forward and then another.  See what lies ahead without expectation.  Do what needs to be done. One step back (for a quick review) may open a door to allow two easy steps forward.

NATAL AND TRANSITING PLUTO

NATAL AND TRANSITING PLUTO

Pluto in the natal chart has a lot to do with change and transformation.  The sign it is in and the house where it is located in the natal chart will influence Pluto’s energies (as with any planet).

The birth chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment of birth.  This natal snapshot never changes.

The word transformation is the best description of Pluto’s energy, as it indicates the area of life where the foremost shifts will take place.  There are no halfway measures when we are speaking of Pluto.  Likely something must come to an end for something new to begin.  The change that takes place, in many cases, completely replaces what used to be in place.

In most cases, the shifts experiences are forceful, because Pluto has to do with power and dynamic energies.  Much will also depend on how Pluto is being utilized in the birth chart.  Does it have many aspects from other planets to it? 

Are the planetary energies associated with Pluto well integrated with the other planets by aspect? 

Are these other planets in Square or Opposition or are they in Trine or Sextile to Pluto? 

Do the energies merge well together or do they signal difficulties emerging? 

It should be understood that any challenging aspects often indicate life lessons that won’t easily be forgotten and we must deal with them.  The lessons learned will be valuable. 

The more gentle or favorable aspects, although the planets involved must also be analyzed, can indicate transformations in positive terms, although much depends on if we are ready for these changes to take place. 

The Natal chart tells the story of what can be expected when transits planets hit our Natal positions in our birth chart.

The natal planets never change in our birth chart but the planets continue moving and once the snapshot of the heavens has been taken and the position of the planets noted for our birth chart, the transit of the planets begin.

When Pluto is in transit, you can expect major transformations to take hold in the area of life, (house positions) linked with the planets or angles within the birth chart.  Even if there are no other natal or transiting planets in the house transiting Pluto is transiting through, there will still be changes that take place especially when it crossed the house cusp and moves into the next house. 

When transiting Pluto reaches another planet or angle in the Natal chart, this area will become highlighted along with the energies of transiting Pluto and the other planet or angle which is involved.

Pluto’s energies are transformational and regenerative. Some major change can cause disruption but you will know in your heart that what “was” no longer fits your evolutionary path and dynamic change is required.  As mentioned, there are no halfway measures when it comes to the transit of Pluto and change is almost unavoidable, but over time you will realize that it was necessary.

The Natal blueprint must be closely studied to give a complete and comprehensive explanation of what will unfold. Whatever does unfold may take up to three years to fully comprehend with Pluto. 

Pluto is often unstoppable, and it is best to swim with the current of change it is presenting.

What do Natal and transiting Pluto speak of in an Astrology chart? Natal Pluto is your framework for power and transformation, and transiting Pluto sparks evolutionary change in life.
