SPRING'S ILLUMINATION

Spring's Illumination

Today, Thursday, March 20, 2025 at 5:01 am EDT, we experienced the Spring vernal equinox (Ostra), the balance of light and dark.

With spring comes the promise of a new start, rebirth, and renewal. Our world and our lives shed their heavy wintery blanket, and light begins to shine forth. There is a promise of longer, brighter, warmer days.

Sprouts will eventually begin to push their way through the soil, trees’ buds will burst, the grass will green, and snowflakes and ice pellets transform to warm raindrops.  There is so much promise.

Even without the telltale signs of nature, we know in our heart renewal is coming. Beyond the feelings we experience, in a more intangible way, we see the changes in the shadows, we feel them in the air, we hear them from nature and smell it in the wind; of course, if we take the time to place our focus on these things.

Along with this new life springing forth, we experience the ability to have fresh starts in our own lives. This is a time of renewed vigor; it is an awakening so to speak. This can draw us nearer to the warmth and sunshine in our hearts and souls, not just in the world around us. We can mirror and utilize the energy brought on through the change of the seasons to stimulate and push us into our personal pursuits, new or old.

A new beginning is at hand with the promise of personal growth, all depending on the seeds we now plant and continue to nurture in the future.

This is the time to renew our motivation, to push ahead and find outlets that can help us renew our commitment to ourselves for further growth, expansion, and evolution.

Springs seems to afford us the energy to move ahead more willingly in our endeavors, particularly those focuses we allowed to go dormant during the winter when we were more focused on going within to our dark corners.  Now that we have a better understanding of those dark corners, they can now be illuminated by the sun and our own personal light.

This renewed vigor can propel us into new-found areas that may not have been available throughout the dark winter. It is truly up to us what we plan to do with this energy and whether we utilize it or whether we just allow it to dissipate.

Mirror the seasons. Take advantage of the energies at hand. Move ahead into the new. Reach beyond any limits. The only thing that is holding us back is us. We are our own motivation or our own stagnation. Growth and advancement are at hand.

What can be accomplished with these energies?

Nature has provided us with hope and renewal through Springs illumination. Nature is offering us an example of how we can start something fresh, and have something new to focus on. Nurture the seeds now being planted and see what bounty they will bring forth in the future!

GET TO THE POINT

Get To The Point

Many of us choose a roundabout manner or we are vague when we are sharing challenging news, sharing a difference of opinion or following up on a difficult decision.  It is not always an easy task letting someone know something that you know will create emotional stress or something they do not want to hear.  We try to break it to them gently but have a difficult time saying it as it is, only because we are concerned about the outcome.

In the meantime, many awaiting difficult news truly want you to be honest and say it as it is. Some do not want to engage in challenging conversations or difficult situations but the time has come for this to come to the surface, and you do not have the right to hold back.  It’s uncomfortable but necessary.

Holding back or not being direct serves no purpose other than dragging out what needs to surface anyway.  If you are the bearer of bad news, don’t hold back. Share what needs to be said but you can say it with compassion and come from a caring place.

Get to the point by compassionately being clear and concise and do not leave anything that needs to be said to the imagination.

NEPTUNE SEXTILE NATAL JUPITER

This article is written in March, 2025. Transiting Neptune is moving into Aries at the end of March. Neptune will remain in Aries until it moves back into Pisces on October 22, 2025.  Neptune returns to Aries in January, 2026 and will then stay in Aries for many years.

Pisces, which is normally connected to the spiritual realm, will maneuver its way into the sign of Aries with a real push to find solace in Spirituality and the mystical side of life.  This will now be on a personal basis as Aries is connected to self and the need to move within self-serving enterprises. 

Neptune in Pisces, its natural placement, would have opened the door for many who wished to delve deeper into their mystical side.  Now is the time to put all of that training and education into practice.  Much will depend on the placement of transiting Neptune in your natal chart as this will be the area of life that is exposed to these energies.  Also, look at the natal placement of Neptune as well as the aspects it receives in the natal chart as this will provide further important information. 

Natal Jupiter and its house placement will speak in terms of expansion and potential growth.  Jupiter often brings with it good fortune, easy flow in obtaining your objectives, and in general, positive energy. 

Neptune Sextile Natal Jupiter

Neptune and Jupiter in sextile to one another, allowing a 3-5° orb of influence, can create opportunities for growth and expansion around spirituality, music, and theatre, especially if the fifth house is part of the process and the psychic realm for those that have an interest in these fields of expression.  I personally use a smaller orb because, although we can feel these energies coming into our lives, the energies become stronger the closer they are to being direct. 

Your Jupiter will likely be in the final degrees in the sign of Capricorn or Taurus or in the early degrees of Aquarius or Gemini for this aspect to play a role in your life currently. 

Sextiles are opportunity aspects, but in many cases, we will have to work to put these opportunities now entering our lives into action, as without our involvement not much may take hold.  Once again, look to the houses where transiting Neptune is in, the houses where natal Jupiter and natal Neptune are in and the other aspects taking hold to get a full, clear picture of these energies in place now.

Neptune sextile natal Jupiter provides a great opportunity for growth if you put in the effort required.  Don’t waste this energy.
