The Sun moves into the sign of Aries late on March 20, 2019. Aries is a cardinal, fire sign and stimulates directed energy towards life objectives. There is a lot of enthusiasm for those with a strong Aries emphasis in their chart. This includes not only the Sun in Aries but also those with an Aries Ascendant or to a lesser degree those with their Sun in the first house. There are differences in the energies between these placements as they are tempered by aspects to the placements. Also those with an Aries Ascendant will show this personality to the world while those with a Sun in Aries will still reveal this character trait but a lot of these characteristics may be internal. Those with their Sun in the first house will have built in Aries tendencies added to their Sun sign, so someone with a Sun in the first house and a Sun in Scorpio for example will have both character traits although the Sun, under most conditions, has the stronger energy out of the two. Aries individuals can be aggressive in their pursuit and are usually the first ones to “sign-up”, although due to this tendency they also make their share of mistakes. They actually would benefit from making more calculated moves before plunging into life’s situations; however, they are seldom devastated by their mistakes. They learn from the lesson, they are resilient and quickly pick themselves up and move forward. Aries individuals can be dominating. They seem to know what they want and will spend little time wasted on thinking about moving ahead. Some Arians tend to have a “me first” attitude and go after what is important to them. This is not to say that they will push others out of their way in their pursuit although this is possible. Aries individuals are relentless once they have made their choice. If you need a helping hand, most Arians can be counted on to, at the very least, do their part. These individuals are rarely short of energy and often plunge into action. Aries people can have a short fuse and some have full-blown tempers although under most conditions if they do explode they tend to let things go quickly and do not hold on to issues. They react as quickly as they move out of situations. These individuals are the go-getters of the Zodiac (being ruled by Mars). Most Aries individuals make wonderful entrepreneurs and are fearless in their pursuits. Currently those with their Sun in Aries between 15 to 29 degrees will have Pluto making a square to their Sun. Since Pluto rules transformation and going below the surface to bring up any hidden issues that needs to surface, this can be a time when they will uncover or go deep into hidden areas of their subconscious. Now is the time to dig up anything that now needs to be re-evaluated, regenerated and transformed. Digging up the truth is a strong characteristic of Pluto and those being affected by this square may find that life’s course is being altered and realigned although it may not be all together that pleasant of an experience if these energies are resisted. Much depends on the house position of transiting Pluto and the natal Sun. Reviewing these will help to define the areas of life affected. Check where Pluto is natally located in the birth chart for further definition. Aries is a strongly driven sign, so those being affected by transits at this time should use this time wisely to push themselves ahead into new experiences or push ahead with plans already set in motion, especially after March 28, 2019 when Mercury goes direct (Mercury went retrograde on March 5, 2019).

On March 13, 2019, we touched on Ceres in Astrology. Today we will go a little deeper and look at Ceres in the Signs. Ceres, as mentioned previously, lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and has been known to be connected to nurturing, both the nurturing of others and also the nurturing that we need for ourselves. It speaks of the early nurturing we received in life or in contrast the lack of early nurturing we received in childhood. For example, those born with Ceres in the sign of Capricorn may have lacked what was considered early nurturing due to the potential for one of the parents either being missing or unable to nurture because of their tendency of being too strict or conservative. It should be noted here that Saturn retrograde has also been linked to the missing father and sometimes when aspected poorly (either by square or opposition or by conjunction) the father or authority figure was absent perhaps due to separation or divorce or in some cases the father passed away early in life. The father or authority figure could also have been absent due to his occupation or a preoccupation with addictions. There is often a strong feeling for those with Ceres in Capricorn that control or some type of restriction was present in early childhood and this can extend into adult years. Sometimes one or both of the parents had difficulty expressing sensitivity or was overly reserved or inhibited in some way. Perhaps the parent was too wrapped up in business concerns to find time to provide nurturing to this child. This parent may have been strict and may have made the child learn to depend on themselves for any type of emotional support. This, in some cases, can make the individuals self-reliant but also to appear somewhat cold. Those with their Ceres in Capricorn, because of their own experiences, want their own children to feel secure. They will want life structured in such a way that they will have nothing to worry about financially. It is suggested that those with Ceres in Capricorn must learn to let go of these concerns and recognize that in the long haul, we each orchestrate our own lives and learn to structure our lives through life’s experience. In contrast, those individuals with Ceres in the sign of Cancer may have been protected and emotionally mothered in early life, with many warm hugs and a sensitive awareness that the home environment needed to be security for a children and also to provide stability. Many individuals with Ceres in the sign of Cancer will carry this forward into adulthood by being overly sensitive to their children’s needs, while at the same time needing nurturing themselves in order to feel safe and secure. Those with a Gemini Ceres learn nurturing through communication and need to hear words of encouragement and should have been allowed to use their own minds to figure out any issues in order to feel nurtured. Mind frame and attitude will play a big part in these individuals’ lives and as parents they will provide their children with a variety of tools to utilize information and knowledge. They will offer open dialogue that will help their children as well as their own internal relationship through shared information and discussion. These people may not necessarily need to feel nurtured through interaction from a physical point of view, but will need to hear that they are needed and valued and likeable because of their keen minds and their ability to communicate freely about their concerns. Much of how Ceres operates in the chart will also be defined by the house position and aspects to Ceres. These will colour how Ceres plays out in our lives and define our need for nurturing and our need to nurture others with greater detail and clarity. We will take a look at houses and aspects in the near future.

Chiron is a comet that was discovered in 1977. It has an orbit that oscillates between Saturn and Uranus and actually crosses orbits. In Astrology, Chiron seeks out enlightenment through affirmation of its ability to heal wounds especially those wounds of others. They say that the internal wounds formed in early life, such as self-worth and insufficiencies, are carried forward into adulthood and that these wounds are particularly hard to overcome and heal. Through these internal struggles and the lessons that they teach, we are able to help others often before we can help ourselves. As Chiron swings between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus, Chiron can bring with it enlightenment and new avenues of expression by exploring competent and reliable information often learned through life’s experience. There is a need to rise above the original wound even though it can be very deep and can require much work to find new directions or alternatives that assist in moving beyond the injury and rising above the issue. The sign and house position of Chiron show what area of life is involved and the character traits of the wound. In many cases, this is thought of as a spiritual wound and it also shows where we have great healing potential that can help others who have experienced similar wounds in their lives. In order to heal ourselves, we have to face the issues, and we will need to work tirelessly to overcome the effects these wounds have on us. It is said that the first house positioning of Chiron is the most challenging, perhaps due to the personal nature of the wound, as the first house represents us personally. In most cases, the healing powers that individuals develop during their lives are very powerful. Many with a challenged Chiron become doctors, psychologists and healers including modern day techniques such as reiki, hypnosis, etc. Chiron’s energies do not necessarily have to be overly negative, as hard work often produces great results. As we learn to overcome deep-seated challenging conditions, we gain internal strength and learn valuable lessons. The house placement will often define where we have reoccurring difficulties and there is an urgency to repair these concepts and believed notions in order to move beyond the hurt. We are able to heal ourselves but not without hard work and a very disciplined approach. Sometimes the healing comes in sporadic moments of enlightenment or happens when we are not expecting it, but a rational and an honest approach will often work quite well. On some level, our Chiron’s placement by sign and house position is indicative of the ability to heal human kind, and this is not to say that it will be on a grand scale, although we cannot rule this out. We can all certainly help others. We will, however, need to heal ourselves before we can do work with helping others. The issues/injury we speak of in connection with Chiron often are a big part of our life’s story and most of us unfortunately hold on to these wounds for many years. Some individuals will be unable to integrate the healing requirements due to self-doubt and preconceived notions. If we recognize that, in most cases, we are the ones holding ourselves back. We CAN make great strides in overcoming our adversities.

Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter Some Astrologers believe it to be the ruling body of Virgo, although much further study needs to be carried out before we can make this distinction. It has been noted that Ceres’ energies have a connection to nurturing and mothering. The nurturing energies can deal instinctively with those less fortunate or those that seen to be the underdog. Cere’s full energies have yet to be completely determined. Cere’s position in the natal chart, by sign position and house position, as well as any aspects to Ceres (from other planets or points especially by conjunction) seems to play an important role in defining its nature in the birth chart. As mentioned, Ceres has to do with nurturing and mothering, especially those down-trodden, and with family relations. Its sign position defines the things that make us feel nurtured and how we might go about nurturing. It also indicates how we might nurture our own needs. Its house position will be linked to the area of life that will be connected to these nurturing needs. Aspects to planets or angles will also determined part of this nature and needs. Squares and oppositions as well as conjunctions can be more stressful, while sextiles and trines are more easy flowing. The planets provide their own energy and this energy will need to be carefully defined to reach viable conclusions as to how the relationship with Ceres might pan out in your specific chart. In addition, Ceres has been linked to food, agriculture and clothing. It also been linked to grief and the need to seek out what was lost even if it means derailing everything else in order to find this. Ceres appears to love what is considered natural in life and also has to do with simplicity, although it is also linked to hard work. It seeks out what is good for us in simple, easy to follow steps and this makes it available to everyone regardless of mental perception, although as most of us understand our perceptions and expectations create our world. Ceres in the past has been linked to the feminine role, although much has changed with this regard over past generations. As mentioned earlier, Ceres is tied to hard work but it should be noted that it does not seek out recognition because of hard work. (This is a general statement and may not hold true if Ceres is found in Leo in your chart). It is said that Cere’s energies are modest and show where we can deliver what is needed for our physical existence. Ceres is also connected to our need to face our darker sides and our fears in order to rise above them. This is particularly true if Ceres is found in the eighth house or connected to Scorpio or the planet Pluto. Ceres can also indicate what type of nurturing we received in our early year. It also indicated how we actually received this nurturing and this often plays a role in how we eventually nurture others.

Life can throw some pretty heavy lessons at us sometimes. We should never pretend that these have not happened. It is not advisable to run and hide from our emotions. We must experience, process and accept each and every event but we are not suppose to move in on the emotional experience permanently and own these events as part of us. Face life head on. Sit down, acknowledge and come to terms with each of life’s events. The human mind wants to rationalize each and every event and sometimes there are no rational explanations. Ultimately, we will have to accept all terms and conditions even though our mind cannot place the event into a neat little package. If we bury our emotions from a traumatic event, when a similar event occurs, the emotions we did not deal with from the initial event will flood back and will only serve to compound the second similar event. Emotional pain and suffering is never an easy lesson but if we face each lesson as they are presented, we are not carrying extra baggage forward to deal with again in the future. Understand the various stages that are normal mental reactions when dealing with great emotional issues. Know that you can experience denial, anger, placing blame (on yourself and others) to name only a few. Our mind will look for ways to avoid acknowledging the emotions we need to process. It is in these times of extreme stress and utter sadness we find resilience that we never knew existed within us. Allowing, acknowledging, experiencing and then letting go of emotional pain can be difficult but one that is achievable and essential and actually rewarding in the end. As devastating as some life event can be, life does go on. We can allow ourselves to be a victim of circumstance and move into our house of grief and suffering to take up permanent residence or we can be a student of the lessons (and there is no question that some life lessons are quite difficult) and embrace the support that surrounds us, learn the life lesson and move forward to “live” (not exist) life as we should. If we broke a bone, would we seek out professional help to have the bone set properly (painful while being reset) which will allow us to have a pain free future OR would we ignore the break and allow it to set on its own (less painful now) but what continual pain will we experience in the future? Embrace the support available. Talk to others about how you are feeling. Reach out for professional support if it is needed and allow the wounds to heal. The support we require will come from difference avenues. Our inner strength will rise up if we allow it to. We WILL become stronger and we WILL heal if we do not deny. We have what it takes to heal from any life event……. from every emotion felt. Breathe with purpose. Feel the life force deep within you. Recognize your strength and abilities. Love yourself enough to allow healing. You are worth it!

There are two formulas to calculation the placement of your Part of Fortune. There is a day calculation (you sun is above the horizon in your natal chart) and a night calculation (the sun is below the horizon in your natal chart). Most Astrologers (with a few exception of some modern practices) still use the two formulas as these are very accurate calculations. The daytime formula is to add the Ascendant degree to the Moon’s degree and then subtracting the Sun’s degree. The nighttime formula adds the Ascendant degree to the Sun’s degree and then subtracting the Moon’s degree. Here is a reminder of the degrees of each of the zodiac signs to assist with the calculation. Aries - 0°-29°, Taurus – 30° -59°, Gemini - 60°-89°, Cancer - 90°-119°, Leo - 120°-149° Virgo - 150°-179°, Libra = 180°-209°, Scorpio - 210°-239°, Sagittarius - 240° - 269°, Capricorn - 270° - 299°, Aquarius - 300° - 329°, and Pisces - 330° to 359° Again, the daytime and nighttime calculations take into consideration the placement of your Sun in the natal chart. Daytime calculations are calculated when the Sun is above the horizon (houses 7-12) while nighttime calculations are determined if your Sun is below the horizon (houses 1-6). There are many sites available which will do the calculations for you by inserting your information and being given the Part of Fortune placement. If you choose to do your own calculations always use the total degrees as set out in our chart above. If you do use your own calculations remember that the seconds and minutes only go up to 59 not 100. Here is an example. In the natal chart the Sun (below the horizon) is 23 degrees Scorpio, the Moon is 7 degrees Libra and the Ascendant is 1 degree Scorpio. Ascendant (210+1= 211), Sun (210+23=233) and Moon (180+7=187) Ascendant+Sun-Moon = Part of Fortune (sun below horizon) 211+233=444-187=257 (257° (within Sagittarius) -240 (Sagittarius starting degree) =17) which is 17° Sagittarius The Part of Fortune relates to worldly success and its energies are definitive together with the MC’s energies. Astrologer Noel Tyle refers to this as the mid-heaven extension and describes the Part of Fortune as the areas of expertise we might follow or advance towards as this describes what suits us in our vocation and career. The Part of Fortune is also associated with our health and physical body, (together with the Ascendant, the sixth house and the twelfth house). The twelfth house is known to speak in terms of health conditions, and issues that are chronic, and lifelong illnesses. It is important to take into consideration the ruling planet of the POF. In our example above the POF is in Sagittarius and therefore the ruling planet is Jupiter. If, for an example, the POF were in Capricorn, the ruling planet would be Saturn or if in Scorpio, the ruling planet would be Pluto and so on. The general condition of the ruling planet in the natal chart is quite definitive and should be considered relevant when trying to decipher what the occupation and the vocation might be. Remember, there can be a huge difference between our vocation (our calling) and our occupation (what we do for a living in order to survive). The sign and house position of the POF is connected to inborn character traits and abilities not taught through traditional means. The North and South Node define our path in life and the POF may help us move in that direction. Innate abilities or God-given talents are also found in quintiles and even any bi-quintiles (respectively 72degrees and 144degrees) found in our chart. So integrating these understandings will assist us in our journey and push us towards our objectives that should be our personal goals to be accomplished. The aspects to the POF along with its ruler play significant roles in determining the ease of its expression or the challenges linked to using these energies appropriately. Remember if you find that your POF is very challenged in the birth chart, it only means that it will take more work and dedication to reach these objectives but they are certainly still attainable. It is said that nothing worth-while comes without some work, and accomplishment is directly related to our belief in whether we can reach our goals or not.

(Part Two) what’s appropriate to pursue and what is not) We are continuing our focus on Void of Course Moon in Astrology from March 4, 2018. Please read www.holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/46440944-void-of-course-moon for a definition of “VOC”. Many individuals explain that they experience synchronicities relating to the spiritual or mystical when the Moon moves into its Void Of Course motion. There may be something “other worldly” about this period and this may explain a feeling of apparent impartiality towards material or ordinary living. As mentioned, people seem less concerned about material living and appear to be ungrounded and out of sorts. Applying this to rational thinking, we might determine that this could be a time of connecting with our higher self and/or oneness with our source, the whole. I know this sounds rather religious but in reality, all things are energy and this energy is a whole. Spirituality does not have to take the path of “in-the-box religion”. I know that the route travelled by traditionally religion offends some but if this is the path that is comfortable for you, so be it. We are all unique and are here to learn our own unique lessons. Whether you believe you will learn best from traditional religion, nature, spiritualism, etc. please follow your heart. Whatever path feels perfect for you, it will include times when it is necessary to look within, time for self-reflection, prayer (particularly of appreciation) and meditation (the act of listening). Under the influence of the Void of Course energies, it is best to steer clear of any material objectives but enlightenment, on some level, is much more attainable now, if the desire is authentic. Under the influence of the Void of Course energies, it is not wise to attach ourselves to material objectives, from buying a new vehicle or pursuing financial gains through speculation or risky ventures. Beginning a business project or asking for a raise or promotion might not be timed favourably under the energies of the Void of Course energies either. It is always suggested to wait until the next major aspect makes contact (most Astrologers agree that only major aspects should be used). In this Astrologer’s opinion, there is not enough data to make an informed decision on whether we should wait until the next minor aspects or major aspects. Perhaps the disruption, or in contrast, the energies of spirituality and occult leanings are more enhanced and more energetically inclined through the major aspect and this might be the reasoning behind such thinking. As mentioned, if you feel that you need to begin something relevant to your life’s situation either from a spiritual perspective or material objective, it is advisable to wait; however, if you have little choice on the timing, have the steps formulated ahead of the Void of Course energies by someone else. You may be better off taking a back seat than stepping into the driver’s seat. The same may apply to legal proceedings. If at all possible, it is best to wait to entertain such ideas or start such endeavors as the potential for some type of setback is often likely when the Moon is Void Of Course. When it comes to make decisions concerning personal matters, it would also be advisable to wait for the Void of Course energies to pass. Buying a house or deciding to arrange a marriage celebration or pushing ahead with having children would be included in this list. Most Astrologers believe that the Void Of Course energies are similar to those of retrograde planets (with the exception of Saturn, of course) as the energies are not in full force or are held back. This period of time should be used to formulate a plan of action rather than pushing ahead with your action. It is, however, always suggested that you rely on your own intuition and to not be led by anything or anyone. Astrology is most certainly a viable tool which is at your disposal, but freedom of choice and freewill is the key to our life’s lessons. It is said that even the most appropriate aspects regardless of how favourable, do little to offset the Void Of Course energies. Move ahead at your own discretion and live your life in accordance to what you feel serves your true purpose is always best.

In order to become proficient at self-understanding, we will have to recognize what our attitude towards and our perception of “self” actually is. Every aspect of us, as an earthbound individual, is determined by our mental belief structures. By knowing and acting upon this, we can rise above any mental self-limitations regardless of when they were created or even “why” they were created for that matter. By simply un-identifying with this attitude and/or conceived notions, we set ourselves free from ownership of them. If we do not like what we see, we can change our perspective on who and what we think we are. We are not our thoughts yet we believe this to be true. Our human mind is fickle and will change what it thinks on a regular basis. How then can this be who we are? We are constant, deep within....forever growing but still constant. We are only limited if we limit ourselves through our beliefs. We can, at any time, rid ourselves of any unwanted, stagnant, detrimental notions that hold us back in our evolutionary growth. We are the only one that can take these steps for we are the only one that controls our own personal perception of self. Others can say what they want; for their opinions are simply that....”their” opinions and these opinions do not belong to us nor do they create us. Why would we limit ourselves to other people’s opinions then? Why would we not allow concepts and beliefs that resonate with our true self.....those concepts and beliefs that propel us to a new or heightened image of our own self. Standing back and taking an honest, non-judgemental look at who we believe we are, can set positive change into motion. Why adopt something that creates restraints? We can propel ourselves in directions that no longer limit or stagnate our growth. Understand, beyond a doubt, that this individual that you wish you could be is already a part of who you truly are.

We are experiencing a New Moon at 15 degrees in the sign of Pisces, today March 6, 2019. A New Moon’s energies are conducive to new beginnings. They are a great time to forge ahead with plans, especially those of Piscean nature for this New Moon due to its current position in the sign of Pisces. In a positive sense, this can be related to projects of a personal or business nature connected to mystical and/or psychic expressions. Whether a novice or a veteran with these areas, you will find a rush of activity related to the psychic, spiritual or occult fields due to the sextile from Mars. Often Pisces, especially when connected to Neptune, can emphasize vagueness in perception. Neptune is closely aligned with this New Moon’s placement and is conjunct this position currently at 16 degrees of Pisces. Although potentially vague or out of focus, Saturn will enhance the clarity of this positioning due to its sextile from Capricorn at 18 degrees. Saturn tends to bring things into focus and makes perception much more reliable and concise. Mars will likely energize these positions and bring vitality and a strong push for those that have these areas of interest in their focus. Having a look at where this New Moon falls in your natal chart, along with any natal aspects to this position, as this will help to identify what energies are at work and what areas of life will be involved for you personally. Neptune in its own sign offers opportunities for anyone interested in psychic development and can open the door for greater perception and enlightenment. Saturn in its own sign in Capricorn brings clarity and dependability as well as steadiness into the equation. Mars and Saturn in sextile to this lunar position, and also to Neptune, bring opportunities to make things happen and the necessary push to propel us forward with these objectives. What you do with these energies, of course, will be in your hands. Sextiles imply opportunities but often need to be pushed ahead through our own actions. Do not limit your own capabilities. Set standards which not only offer viable advancement of your alignment with spirit and psychic potential, but will also advance your inner understanding of the “why” behind this incarnation. You always have the necessary tools to move forward in life. Astrology points the way and helps with the timing of energies at hand. Use the tools at your disposal and make life work for you, rather than allowing these opportunities to slip by unnoticed. Plant the seeds associated with this new moon in the garden of your life. What will germinate from this?

Do you see life in stages? Do you recognize life’s lessons? What stage are you at? Now let’s do that again, without any type of judgement. Let’s just note the facts and it doesn’t matter if they are good or bad, right or wrong. It feels different looking at life that way, doesn’t it! What have you learned over the past year and how has it affected you? Do you feel stronger? Are you more in touch? The inner self has great resilience. At times, we may believe that we are regressing in the physical world, but in reality, our outer personality may be dormant yet we are strengthening our inner core. We are specifically referring to this inner core. Our soul of higher self is the foundation of who we are and can always be relied upon. When we suggest a review, we are referring to is the individual that we are building throughout the process of this life. This “inner self” we refer to (not the soul) is the outer layers of the onion, if you will, that we are currently growing (but remember this is not the thinking mind either). The inner self is not the mind, as thoughts are generated through expectation or past experience. The inner self is the one that has been a spectator for all of these life experiences and is more adept at handling life’s lessons than our responsive, mental self. If you are currently feeling somewhat lost and that life is being rough-handed and that life is seemingly pulling you in all different directions, know that the fog will lift and the grip will release. That lost part is only the thinking mind. The warmth of the light will eventually burn off the fog and you will see clearly again. You will gain in resilience from your experiences as that is what they are, lessons to grow from not hurdles to keep you down. These trials and tribulations strengthen our resolve.... our belief in one’s self as we learn to overcome. Through these harder lessons we gain momentum and we grow. We are constantly learning through life’s experience and growth occurs through these experiences. Without life lessons, we would stagnate. Life is full of twists and turns, and we will learn to ride the wave. Sometimes life moves along almost perfectly and other times life can be like a volcano either waiting to erupt or vigorously spewing lava. Remember these times are beneficial. Our thoughts about these experiences are what determine how we react to them and what affect they will have on us. If we focus on the challenging parts of the lesson, the lesson will be extremely difficult. If we focus on the value of these lessons, the experience will be beneficial. The choice is ours. We can do a professional job using professional tools or we can do an amateur job and ignore the tools at hand. The more we practice with the tools available, the more precise we become applying them. Many of these life experiences have been put in place for our greater good and we are equipped to deal with these experiences either on our own or with help when we ask for assistance. We are never at the mercy of life, but we are at the mercy of our thoughts. Be wary of negative thoughts. They have no real benefit whatsoever. Live in the moment and keep reminding yourself of this so that it becomes second nature. The ego mind is silenced when we are in the moment and through that silence, we can focus on what is important. Can we take a moment to remind ourselves of the blessings that have come, the blessings that are bestowed upon us regularly in our day-to-day lives? Pay heed to how life is good in so many different ways. Stay focused on these things so that you can draw more of the same your way.
