At what age do we begin setting goals for ourselves?    Some begin very early in life to set financial goals, others wait until later and some never aspire to creating a “nest egg”.   Most of us wish to be comfortable, at the very least. It is quite normal to set goals for financial success. However, when setting these goals we must make sure that we are not coming from a place of shortages and that we are not becoming obsessed with the need for more.   We live in a material world, so there it is expected that we set these goals. However, should material achievements be our only goals?   Aspirations and Goals We do not have to be fixated on material aspirations.  We can also choose spiritual or metaphysical ambitions. When we search for our spiritual connection (whatever spirituality may mean to you), we realize that this is not something that we need to seek, because it is already a part of who we are.  Look within and we can recognize that connection. Many of our readers have mentioned that they do not feel worthy of this connection and the reasons behind this vary immensely from person to person.   Knowing that our belief structure expands with focus, we need to pay attention to our beliefs, our expectations, our focus.  These will build and more will come your way. Focus is key. We need to regularly review our beliefs and expectations.  Are they advantageous?   Let’s keep our minds open. The only limitations are the ones that we put on ourselves.  We can focus on opening our minds as well as letting go, practicing and allowing. It gets easier with disciplined effort.    Our thoughts, aspirations and goals have ripple effects.  We mold our reality with our belief structure and focus.

Aries New Moon 2026 On April 17, 2026, we will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Aries.  Aries is the initiator, the starter, and the one that pushes for immediate results.  This New Moon falls at 27° Aries and is Conjunct Chiron which is at 26° of Aries and is Semi sextile to Uranus which is at 29° of Taurus.  We also have a Stellium in Aries with Neptune, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn all within orb separated in the beginning from Neptune at 2° degrees and ending with Saturn which is at 7°.  This is considered a tight Stellium so its influence will be felt.   The energies of Aries, as you can see, is quite prevalent and is pushing those influenced, especially by Conjunction or Opposition to either the Stellium or the New Moon’s position.  Aries is the pioneer, the forerunner and has quite a strong push to achieve what it sets out to do.  It is very personal, although it can affect others because of what it initiates.  So, if this is contacting your Natal Chart, what do you need to move forward with that is quite personal and may have strong consequences as a result of your actions?    This is a powerhouse of energy, and if used in the correct manner, it can propel you in a forward motion which is quite opposite to any form of stagnation you may have had in place prior to this timeframe.   This action is likely immediate and may be rather aggressive.  Those that have planets or angles connected to either the position of the New Moon or the Stellium should certainly pursue their goals.  Remember, the New Moon is the early stages of development and whatever is being pursued may take some time to unfold. Your actions now, however, and the continued effort you apply, will likely be acknowledged when we reach the Full Moon in Aries in approximately 6 months.   The Conjunct with the New Moon to Chiron suggests some healing may be required.  Much will depend on the houses involved, as the houses in the Astrology chart are the areas of life that are being affected.  In many cases, Chiron is associated with the wounded healer, who has the abilities to help others heal, but may have some challenges with working towards healing themselves (check houses of transiting Chiron and Natal Chiron as well).   The Semi-sextile from Uranus at 29° Taurus can be difficult but also suggests that you are in the right place at the right time.  Watch for doing something without much thought, which is quite possible under these powerful connections to Aries, as well as the desire for change which will be created by Uranus.  The desire is to jump and perhaps you need to do this, but at the same time, do not be rash with your judgments or actions. This is even more important as transiting Neptune and Mercury are Conjunct at this time which may cause the thought process to be a little blurry. At the same time, you may be rushed because of transiting Mars having an impact on this Stellium, as Mars is all about action.  Saturn will be the one that pulls you to stop, if even just for a second, to think about the results of you decisions.   The Aries New Moon 2026 is pushing for personal achievement, and you may feel an aggressive push to achieve your goals. Heal old wounds and start fresh. Due your due diligence and think before you leap.   #astrology #HolmAstrology #astrologyposts #astrologer #BarrieAstrologer #OntarioAstrologer #astrologersofinstagram #astroworld #astrocommunity #astroinsights #astroinfo #horoscope #zodiacsigns #OracleReadings #transits #aspects #NewMoon #AriesNewMoon #healing #personalgoals #emotions #personalachievement #pushtosucceed #newblogpost   Are you interested in learning Astrology?

There are some actions in life that we are obligated to carry out. We must have a job in order to provide essentials.  We need to look after our health to enjoy good health. We have an obligation to ourselves first and foremost, but we also have obligations to our elders, family, boss, co-workers, friends and the list goes on, in varying degrees. There are things we must do to keep the flow of growth and opportunities in place.   We have a duty to our family, especially to our children as they slowly move forward into their own lives.  They learn from our example. We are likely reflected in the actions of our children in some form or another.  Because of this, we must set an example that is worthy to be carried forward.    Being that good example comes easier if we have respected our obligation to ourself as we mature. It is important to foster positivity into our daily lives. It is essential to formulate an action plan that includes our wellbeing. We do have obligations beyond ourselves, but we must take care of ourselves to be of assistance to others. You cannot feed someone from an empty cupboard.    Duty and Obligation Is our attitude one that promotes or allows happiness, or are we caught up in the challenges and noise of life?   How can we shift our focus away from the noise to accommodate harmony within?   We have the ultimate tool required to initial change.  We can change our attitude, first and foremost.  A slight adjustment can help us go from chaos to calm.  Attitude is perhaps the most important ingredient in making life more manageable, if not enjoyable.    Life can and will be difficult at times.  We cannot change what life throws our way, but we can change the way we look at these lessons.  In our mind, we can change the word “difficulties” and use the word “lessons”.  That in itself is the first step.  We can learn to turn our reactions to actions.  Reactions are uncontrolled.  Actions are purposeful and productive.   It takes little effort to be a victim, but it comes at a high price of stress and lack of enjoyment.  Go from victim to victor over your life experience.  It does take work, much effort, in fact initially.  We are creatures of habit.  Break the habit and exercise the “finding the positive” muscle.  The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes.   If we look for hatred in this world, we will find much hatred.  If we look for compassion in this world, compassion will show up.   A positive attitude is not going to change the world around you (but it might); a positive attitude will change the world within and make the world around you much more enjoyable.  A life of peace and appreciation is within our grasp and much of what we might want for ourselves is available if we wish to work for it.    Believe in ourselves; push ourselves a little. Make it our duty and obligation to have peace within under any of life’s conditions.  We are strong and resilient. With determination, we can do anything we want to help ourselves through any of life’s situations. We are always learning and becoming stronger if we exercise what we need to.   #astrology #HolmAstrology #BarrieAstrologer #OntarioAstrologer #spirituality #spiritualjourney #inthemoment #schooloflife #lifelessons #change #lifesjourney #attitude #focus #resilience #peaceofmind #newblogpost   Are you interested in learning Astrology?

Mercury Mercury Mercury in the natal chart by sign and house position can vary a great deal. We will primarily discuss the planet Mercury in this section. The planet Mercury is associated with the mind's focus and our attention. Its primary function is the act of communication, both on the receiving end and on the giving end. Mercury also has a lot to do with what could be termed as our everyday living, and our connections with the outside on an immediate level. Mercury’s house position in the natal chart and its sign position indicate something about the way we think. It also has a lot to do with the learning process and how we become aware and absorb the information that the mind is incorporating into our point of focus. Mercury can be interconnected with our schooling. For example, if Mercury is poorly aspected in the natal chart, we may have some difficulty completing our schooling. We could have problems with concentration, or the written word would not come as easily to us as it would to someone who has a well aspected Mercury. Knowing this can be helpful and assist us when our children are having difficulty understanding or focusing on their schooling. Mercury has very little to do with feelings as it relates primarily on the non-verbal level. In some cases if mercury is in a very receptive sign (usually water signs) one can pick up information on other levels, such as telecommunication or through psychic channels. The planet is an important factor in consciousness raising, as Mercury can be associated with making some areas of life apparently unconscious more conscious. Gemini and Virgo are both ruled by the planet Mercury and if you know any people with their Sun , Moon or rising signs (Ascendant) in either Gemini or Virgo , you may find that the mind is a strong active force in their lives. Astrology 101 Information on Aspects to Mercury Mercury is the Planet of communication. It rules Gemini and Virgo and is associated with the third house and the sixth house .
