We are all members of the human race regardless of who we were born to, where we were born and what we believe. This pandemic has reminded us of just how equal we are. It does not matter who we are or where we live, the potential is there equally for each of us. It is time to realize that we are all standing on the same ground, we are all equal and merit the same treatment. It is time to honour our differences and recognize our similarities. It is time to embrace who we are. It is time to stand up in solidarity. We walk this road together. We can stand together and the first step begins with us. We are all one and through love, compassion and forgiveness, we stand united – one people, one world.

Transiting Saturn now in retrograde (July 2020) moves back into the late degrees of Capricorn and then goes direct again towards the end of September and moves back into Aquarius in mid December all in the year 2020. Those with their Moon in the later degrees of Aries and into Taurus as well as those with their Moon in the late degrees of Libra into early degrees of Scorpio will be impacted by this transit of Saturn. After this latter date, it will impact all those with either a Taurus or Scorpio Moon in the mid and late degrees and this continues for about 2 ½ years as this is how long it takes Saturn to move from one sign to the next. Saturn tends to create some type of challenge during its contact visit to most any planet as well as when it contacts the angles in our chart. The square (90 degree) aspect is considered very challenging and Saturn slows down progress, puts up roadblocks and generally makes things difficult when in this aspect. It does operate a little easier when in retrograde however but even in retrograde it still implies hard work and often difficult conditions. The house Saturn is transiting will be the area of life involved as well as the placement of natal Saturn and the aspects to it in the natal chart. The Moon deals with feelings and emotions and can be associated with close family members such as the mother and family concerns especially when related to nurturing and creating what could be considered a safe home and environment. There is a huge difference between the earlier mentioned lunar positions not to mention the house location in the natal chart but suffice to say that they all speak of nurturing and family associations. When you have a stressful aspect coming from Saturn to your Moon, the emotions may be rather challenging and you may even feel depressed and worried about family matters. Your home may also be involved and as mentioned your Mother or a close female friend. Worry and anxiety is common with this placement and if you feel that you are having a difficult time dealing with matters at hand these are times when we need to seek out professional assistance. Things will settle down as Saturn begins to move out of orb, although some Astrologers, including me, have found that the most powerful energies related to Saturn occur when it is two degrees past being direct. Perhaps this is due to Saturn’s influence or energies being delays and restrictions. We are currently focusing on the square aspect and the energy of a square are tough enough that they will force you into action and because of this, you actually gain strength because you face the issues head on and want to do something about it. Saturn will eventually create a more solid foundation although it is a relentless teacher. What you are left with, and once you are able to recognize the lesson, this change forced by Saturn will stand the test of time. You will realize after the fact that it was necessary to go through what you did as it taught you inner resolution and provided strength as you conquer the adversity. You will be required to go through the necessary steps before you get to the other side of the issue and you cannot skip any steps. Do what you need to do and know that the conditions of the lesson are temporary, but they will have taught you strength and resilience over time. Patience is one of Saturn’s greatest teachings and you will need to learn this one.

Jupiter remains in the sign of Capricorn from the end of 2019 for about one year and then towards the end of 2020 it moves into Aquarius. While in the sign of Capricorn (it went retrograde in May of 2020) we will be talking about those individuals who have their natal Moon in the signs of Scorpio or Pisces. Jupiter in the sign of Capricorn is considered a practical energy position where Jupiter’s energies seek, as always, to expand knowledge and create a general feeling of optimism into what it touches. Jupiter is growth oriented but does not function in its full capacity while in retrograde. In the sign of Capricorn Jupiter tends to direct its attention towards optimistic ideals which have the potential to create tangible findings. This can apply to any goals and aspirations we might have in the material world as well as any practical applications that may be centred around the philosophical approach to religion and spirituality. Sextiles in general are positive aspects that often point towards fortunate circumstances that we can take advantage of and use these opportunities to advance our cause or purpose at the time. Sextiles should be given a 3-5-degree approach orb and a 2-3 degree separation orb of influence. Since this sextile is related to the Moon, feelings come into play. There is greater potential for understanding how feelings and intuition meld together, and we can do a lot with these energies from an inspirational approach. These innate feelings can be used for personal growth and expansion as well as being related to the feelings of others and the plight they may be experiencing. We can help others often by helping our self first and then applying what we have learned when dealing with others. There are no greater teachers than those that have had personal experience. We may be learning to express our feelings more openly especially if we have our Moon in Scorpio and working on how to do this is perfect under this aspect. Opportunity awaits those that wish to enter this field which is more open than under normal circumstances. If Jupiter goes into retrograde and our Moon falls in these degrees, we can experience up to three passes of our Moon making this aspect and during its direct movement is when we can advance anything we might be working on. We may find that the feelings of others and specifically those that we consider family (blood or not) can build under these energies. This applies to how we are able to help them and truly understand what they might be going through. We can be of great assistance at this time. Our compassion and deeper understanding of others bring us a feeling of satisfaction under this influence and helps with our own personal emotional healing as well. Our home life and family may feel comfortable to those of us with this aspect and we will be pleased being in this circle. We can use these energies to assist others and also within our self in personal ways. Be sure to use the energies at hand to expand personal consciousness and learn from what is being taught.

Do not allow negativity to have any control in your life. Open the door to clear insight. Be the leader; not the follower. Our mind focuses on whatever we decide to follow. Let thoughts that take us to places that are not comfortable be recognized as such and be released. We are only at the mercy of our thoughts if we do not recognize that we have control over them. We are the one who decides. We are the one who walks our journey. Allow and focus on the beliefs and thoughts that create harmony, and peace. Tranquility paves the road for a peaceful journey. We can not stop the mind, but we can control it. Anything that feels uncomfortable recognize it and then release it. Dictate your focus rather than being a slave to it. You are in control! Believe it! If you are commenting on or have questions concerning a specific post, (even though you are making your comment on the post) please include the title of the post in your comment.

The progressed Moon moves one degree per month. When making contact in the Astrology chart, it is in influence for a total of three months, one month prior to being exact, one month while being direct and one month as it separates. A three-degree orb of influence is allowed. The progressed Moon is often used as a timer in Astrology and is suggestive of activities and events as they unfold. There will often need to be other indicators in the chart through transit or progressions that are then stimulated by the progressed Moon. The house position of the Moon when it aligns with our natal Sun will be the area of life that is involved, and the transits will add other factors into the equation. The position of our Sun and the aspects to it in the natal chart will help define what energies are in place indicated by the birth potential found in the natal chart. The natal chart is a roadmap for what will unfold through transits and progressions in our life. It is the life path in place and the energies in force. In many ways the Sun is very personal. By sign and house it defines who we are as an individual, and the character traits that are suggestive of who we are internally, but some of these character traits will also be shown to the world and others will identify us by these characteristics. It is important to look at the rest of the chart to see how powerfully these energies will play out. For example, someone with their Sun in Capricorn will usually have objectives that potentially lead to success. They usually work hard at their endeavours, pushing towards a slow but progressive move towards the top. This is common unless there are other mitigating factors found in the birth chart. If for example they have Leo rising and five planets in the fifth house ruled by Leo, then these Leo characteristics will have a strong influence on who this individual is and how they present themselves. The Sun also speaks of goals, aspirations, and life’s path in general. In some cases, it speaks of intensions set for occupational aspirations. As mentioned, much will be clarified by the aspects to the Sun and the sign and house it is in through the natal potential. When the progressed Moon aligns with the natal Sun, there are changes to life’s path. Some make changes to their goals and under this influence decide to move in these directions. Others make personal changes sometimes related to health, personal appearance, and life objectives which may also include others. Changes are in store and much can be ascertained by the transits and progressions in play at this time. If, for example, Pluto was involved and the natal Sun were in the seventh house, the potential for transformations in relationship or business partnership is enhanced. If it were in the second house there may be indicators that transformations are taking place around areas of security and personal finances. If the eighth house were also involved this could include joint finances and joint ventures, as well as inheritance, alimony, and sexual interchange, especially so if the fifth house were involved. Changes are in store for many of those that are currently experiencing this combination, and, in many cases, we need to take advantage or be forewarned of things and move in the appropriate direction. A full interpretation of the natal as well as the transit and progressed charts would provide clarification and give the best possible details on what may be involved and how to move forward.

There are times in life when sitting back and doing nothing just simply will not do. We have to stand up and be part of the change that is needed. What better way than to be the one who initiates this action. “Should I wait for someone else to start the process?” could be the way our mind operates. The mind can thinks up intensions but come up with reasons why we should not act. Every once in a while, we are so committed to an idea, we can overcome the ego interference and move forward with our motivating ideas. Sometimes it can be hard work and it would be so much easier if someone else starts things or we may feel we are not up to the task. However, we can’t always wait for others especially when an idea surfaces and there is potential for positive results if we only took that first step to begin. We can make a difference in our world. We do not have to be followers and we are good enough to make a difference. We are leaders even if we underestimate ourselves. Give yourself a chance. The right idea can snowball once it gets rolling. We are not here to sit back and be a spectator. We are here to live and living is taking action. Make things happen. Kindness, love, and affection can have profound effects if this is the route we take. If someone is struggling why not take a shot at helping them move in a different direction, if they are looking for help? If someone is lonely or afraid why not be the one that eases their mind or brings them friendship? Do not sit back when opportunity knocks. We do not know what lies ahead until we take that step. Be the forerunner. Be that motivating factor. Be the light that radiates out into our world and lights the path. Maybe it is only you that can make that difference!

If you were born between mid-1957 to mid-1972, you are the Pluto in Virgo generation, give or take a few months either side of this time frame, as Pluto went retrograde during this period (appearing to move backwards in the heavens). This generation may be somewhat obsessive about their health and cleanliness. They are intensely interested in keeping their body in top shape if they are able (compared to previous generations), through rigorous exercise routines and proper diet. This may vary, however, depending on what house Pluto is found in within their natal chart and the aspects applied to Pluto. Virgo can become obsessively involved in many things, as they have great analytical abilities and the ability to uncover life’s minute details. In general, most Pluto in Virgo individuals find their working life rather important to them and they push themselves trying to find perfection and uncovering all the minute flaws within the working environment. Some prefer to remain in the background rather than being up front and getting all of the attention. Behind the scenes analytical and research work will suit most individuals born with this combination. They would make excellent detectives and specialists in fields such as psychology, parapsychology and virtually any field that requires deep concentration and deep focus. They are usually absorbed in their work and comfortable in knowing that they are doing their best. Doing their best is a compulsive need and this is why they are highly sought after in the working environment. These individuals are inwardly intense, analysing themselves, identifying flaws and could become overly critical of themselves and others to the point of obsession, yet have difficulty accepting criticism. When angered they usually become quite heated yet they can keep most of what they feel inside. They need to find a way to release this pent up anger and stop worrying over issues. This worry can lead to health related issues as life progresses, especially nervous conditions. Rigorous exercise such as running, the martial arts, and anything that pushes the body and releases the mind from the day’s activities will assist in letting go of these feelings. Gentle exercise routines such as Yoga, Tie-Chee can also do wonders for these individuals. Without such physical release, restrictions and dis-ease in the body can occur. These people are inwardly intense and need deep study as there is a yearning for understanding any subject in great detail, especially themselves. A profession in research, institutional occupations or working in government positions would also be of interest to these individuals. They make good counsellors, pharmaceutical engineers, and mechanics, anything related to detailed work. There may also be an interest in all hidden matters, such as the occult and the fields of metaphysics. Any mystery holds their interest and they are great at solving deep internalized issues in others. Most at some point in their lives will redirect their energy outward after transforming their lives, through self-actualization techniques, but not until they have completed a thorough self-study and understand entirely what makes them tick. Once they make this transformation to a higher sense of being, there is great healing power in many of these individuals. They can use this gift to assist others and help them overcome many of their life’s deficiencies.

As the mind’s focus pushes us in a particular direction, we can learn to redirect that focus on positivity. This is not to say that we should ignore challenging conditions or put our head in the sand. What it does suggest however is that since we know what we focus on is magnified, a conscious effort should be placed on the constructive and affirmative focal point of what we deem important or significant in our lives and for those around us. What we express or communicate through words also has influence on our environment and those around us. We plant seeds in all fertile ground that we touch; let’s make sure those seeds are beneficial, no seeds of weeds. We are not ignoring the hurt, the sorrow, the barriers, the lessons. What we are suggesting is quite the opposite. We acknowledge these and take from them the information that assists with our growth but we do not take up residence in these. We see the benefit of all events and utilize this benefit, but we do not allow ourselves to be defined by these events nor do we allow ourselves to be swept away by negativity, fear or anxiety. There is no real purpose in defining our lives through these avenues of expression and we only hurt ourselves and often those around us by focusing on these negative vibrations. We are not turning our back on what we know to be real, but we are bringing to the surface what is important and to brings joy in some form. Happiness is a choice not something found. Our focus expands in our lives as we concentrate, regardless of what that concentration point may be. It is important to become aware of this as it is easy to be swept away in the moment by challenging situations. We have choices to make and are not at the mercy of life, but we are at the mercy of our thoughts. We can move in whatever direction we deem helps us or in contrast we can move in directions that we know can harm us and cause worry and stress. Pay attention to how your body reacts to events. If you are feeling unwell, mentally or physically, this is a warning that you are living with stress and anxiety. Avoid dis-ease! Practice mindfulness. Practice moving your focus to all that bring hope and a feeling of wellbeing. Life will happen but you have a choice on how you react to it. Build on positivity by recognizing negative thoughts and reactions and stopping them in their infancy so they will not grow out of proportion and propel you in directions that are less than productive. Spend your time wisely and build on something that will propel you forward in a positive and constructive direction. You are worth the effort!

There is a high energy of change currently in our world. Not only are we experiencing the pandemic and a downturn in the financial world, we are also dealing with a much-needed elimination of racism. There have been many peaceful and controlled marches and demonstrations honouring the rights of minority groups particularly connected to “Black Lives Matter”. Many races have been treated unfairly as far back as any of us can remember and beyond. There have been issues related to minority groups since the beginning of time. Still today, we see reports of ethnic cleansing, religious restrictions, gender bias, racism, age discrimination, and the list goes on and on. It is time to face discrimination head on. We are all equal and stand side by side, as one, demonstrating our need for justice, our need for fairness and our need to the equal rights for all. Changes must take place and this change must begin in our own homes. It is up to each individual to realize that we are all human beings, each bringing forth their own valuable gifts to society and our world as a whole. We share this planet together and this pandemic, on its own, reiterates that we are all created equally…..we are all human. This virus can spread to all human beings regardless of race, colour, religion, sexual preference, wealth, age, etc. We are all in this together. Each and every one of us play a part in creating change; change that will enhance all lives. We must be the example of this change. Focus on the energy of change, see it unfolding. Without a vision of change, change will not happen. So much of society as it was pre this pandemic was not working. We have been provided with an opportunity to stop, review and move forward in a different manner. It is time to find ways to share life together, living in peace and simply allowing the love that lives within each and every one of us to flourish. Because of our connections to all living things, what you do for others, you do for yourself. This is our change to make a change, a permanent change. Second chances are never guaranteed. Make this opportunity count!

This is the aspect we all wait to take place in our chart. Positive energies abound and fortunate conditions are at hand particularly if there are other factors in the chart that point in the same direction such as Neptune conjuncting your North Node or a favourable aspect to your Sun or Ascendant. The more that speaks in positive terms, the greater the opportunities for success and favourable things taking hold in your life. The houses where Jupiter and Venus are found will be the areas of life that are being affected by these positive energies. If for example the fifth and first houses are involved, then this could be speaking of a fortunate relationship now being formed. If the North Node is involved, then this could be a person who enters your life at the right time. If the South Node is involved, then this individual may be someone from your past either in this life or in a previous life. If the Sun is involved perhaps this speaks of goals you might have for yourself and if this also aligns with your North Node it means that you are right on track and exactly where you need to go. This post is written in June 2020 and transiting Jupiter is in retrograde as of May and remains in its retrograde motion until September, 2020 so if you happen to have your Venus in a degree where Jupiter will make contact, it may make another pass and a final pass activating these areas for quite some time. Jupiter tends to bring good fortune and good luck and expands on things that are set in motion. Venus can speak of a love relationship or it can speak of finances or even simply the enjoyment of others. Venus speaks of times of social interaction even though this is challenging at this time with our current pandemic, but perhaps some restrictions will be lifted or loosened. This of course does not mean that you ignore what is already in place, but the opportunities are there for growth and good fortune on some level of experience. If this aspect applies to you then it is time to take advantage of the energies at hand and make the best of a positive opportunity. It might very well open the doors to opportunities in the near future. This is a positive influence although of course any other factor taking hold at this time will have to be evaluated and written into the final equation. Enjoy what life offers no matter what the circumstance.

Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto were all be in retrograde as of June 23, 2020. Venus was finished its retrograde cycle yesterday, June 25 as it once again returned to its direct cycle. All the planets while in their retrograde motion do not function at full potential, except for Saturn. Saturn actually works more favourably when in retrograde motion. While Mercury is in retrograde, it is best not to sign any agreements. It is a time of reviewing any plans that you will set in motion when it becomes direct once again. However, if you are in the middle of something do not let Mercury retrograde stand it the way. You may find that things do not go exactly as planned. If you can wait to move forward would be best bet. Mercury is usually retrograde for about 3 weeks and will be direct once again on July 12, 2020. Venus while in retrograde may hold back any social activity and if there are romantic relationships brewing, things may not work out as well as you would like them to. Sometimes Venus speaks of your financial situation and this period may see a slowdown in your financial situation or you may feel as though there are shortages. You may even feel somewhat lacking in love and affection, as well. Venus will be in retrograde from May 13 until June 25. Jupiter went into retrograde on May 14 and will remain there until September 13, 2020. Jupiter in direct motion works very favourably and often produces growth and expansion and good luck in obtaining benefits. When in retrograde motion, these energies are not as powerful although fortunate conditions are still likely, but you may have to work harder for the results you are looking for. Jupiter is the most favourable planet in the zodiac, and it is what we wait for when it aspects planets in our chart. It is important to remember that these energies are always more powerful when they are making aspects to the natal positions. Saturn went retrograde on May 11 and remains there until September 29, 2020. Saturn’s energies, as mentioned earlier, flow more easily when Saturn is in its retrograde cycle, although hard work and disciplined efforts will still be required because Saturn insists on a solid foundation. While in direct motions Saturn brings hardships, delays, and restrictions with whatever it touches. It is the great teacher of the Zodiac although you may not enjoy Saturn too much when its teachings are tough. Saturn however builds structure and adds reliability and longevity if you build and follow each step that is required. Taking short cuts is never recommended. The outer planets stay in retrograde for about half of the year and the rest of the time are in direct motion. There is a period called stationary direct or stationary retrograde when the energies are very powerful and during these times the energies associated with the planets are stimulated. Once again it is important to remember that in order for the energies of these planets to have any real affect on you, they need to make aspects within your natal chart, and these aspects can be to planets or angles. As the transiting planets move through the houses and the houses are the areas of life that will be affected. Check the transiting planets by house to the various natal planets by house position and the natal position of the transit in question will add more information to the deciphering process. The more aspect to the natal position, the more powerful the energies in your life.

The assessment of emotional baggage can be exhausting but not as exhausting as it is to carry around unresolved. To overcome any emotional baggage, we have to acknowledge and face whatever events have taken place. Many of us believe we have to be able to categorizing these event or situation so they fit nicely into our emotional boxes and if we have the energy to continue, we have to make a decision as to what will be done to recover from the event. The mind plays with the information creating interference and more often than not, our minds make the matter much worse than what it actually was. Our minds, over time, can also build on the information and exaggerate the original experience. Many of us have experienced events that have been very devastating. These events have caused emotional wounds that run very deep. With most events in life, we have little control over the actual event but we do have control over how we process and deal with these events. Do we accept or do we fight the process? It is important to separate ourselves from these events. They are not who we are. We do not own these events. They do not dictate how we feel unless we allow this. Letting go or accepting can be one of the most challenging actions we can do (especially when it comes to losing loved ones). We certainly need time to process and to adjust to our new lives but acceptance is important. We will never forget but we can accept and this is essential in order to be able to move forward with living. When we are called upon to move in a new direction, no matter what the reason, the changes can be disruptive, stressful and the adjustment period can be challenging if we fight the chance. We CAN adapt however. It is part of our nature. The end of any one condition, no matter what, always brings with it a beginning of something new. A part of us, deep within, will understand that the transformation is a requirement and sometimes life changes dramatically so that we can move out of complacency or a place of stagnation to find what is necessary for our own personal spiritual growth (and we are certainly not specifically speaking of someone’s death as our reference is general). Everything in life happens for a reason, although we may not always be able to figure this out. The answers often unfold over time and the “why” begins to make sense (but there are exceptions). These changes or new directions can involve losing a loved one, but it could also be expressed in many other ways. We might step out of a relationship of significance or someone may leave us when we believed that the conditions were good. Sometimes we have to make changes to our occupation. Sometimes we need to physically move away from those that we love. The possibilities are endless. Change, however, is inevitable. It can come when we least expect it. Do we sit and live in fear? Absolutely, not. Fear gets in the way of living. We adapt; we overcome; we flourish.
