It is most certainly important to be there when someone needs help. To be with someone in their time of need is the best support we can offer, whether that support comes in the form of a helping hand, a calming influence, a shared experience or an ear for listening. Sometimes a few calming words can move mountains and sometimes a gentle shoulder can bring peace and reassurance. Remember, however, we as a support person cannot make the changes happen. We are “support”. It is up to the individual to use their own actions to bring about a solution. We may be able to plant the seed, but they personally have to nurture that seed and harvest its fruit. Yes; it is important that we show our support and assist along the way when asked. By allowing others to make solve their own issues, they build inner strength by addressing the situation. Allow others free choice and movement. Sometimes it is hard but we have to support them with their decisions, although suggestions are valuable too if they are open to hear them. Walking with them lets them know we care which is empowering, but strength is built through determination, inner resolution and tackling their own personal issues. Love them enough to let them learn from their mistakes if they do not want you assistance.

In our post for the Sun moving into Sagittarius on November 23, 2018, we touched on some of the transits which will be affecting those with their Sun in Sagittarius this upcoming year. Here is another aspect to add to that forecast. Transiting Uranus did move temporarily into the sign of Taurus from May to early November of 2018 and it will again move into Taurus, this time staying there as of March 7, 2019. It will move up to about 6 ½ degrees in Taurus before it goes retrograde (appears to move backwards) once again on August 12, 2019. Transiting Uranus can be felt as early as 5 degrees approaching and becomes very strong when it is direct (same degree). Quite often an event will take place on the day it is exactly direct or within a week or two. As a result, transiting Uranus is used as a timer in Astrology. With Uranus in the sign of Taurus, which is a fixed, earth sign, it is in its “fall”. When a Planet is in its fall, it does not adapt to the energies of the sign very well and is unable to release itself in a comfortable manner. It is not at home in this sign and Uranus’ energies are harnessed. Uranus’ energies are all about breaking free of any restrictions and reaching out for something new which in turns can create a new found freedom ….. sometimes an awakening of sorts. Taurus’ energies, on the other hand, are all about stability and structure and it does not like change. Taurus seeks comfort in what it knows and will stay in situations even when outside influences suggests that it should go beyond these limitations. As you can well imagine, this placement of Uranus in Taurus does not blend well. Those individuals with a Sun sign which is in the early degrees of Sagittarius have been or will be experiencing a quincunx (also known as an inconjunct) with Uranus. A Quincunx is considered a minor aspect although when direct (in the case of Uranus to the Sun within 1 degree) the energies of this aspect can be felt as a major aspect similar in some ways to the square. It is as though there is something nagging at you to make a change of direction or an adjustment to what is taking place in your life. This could relate to a change of direction as mentioned or it could mean a change of attitude towards a situation, but something needs to be adjusted. If you have this in your chart, you would be quite aware what that might involve. Here is the issue…….the Sun often speaks in terms of worldly goals or inner goals and Uranus is asking that you review the current or upcoming situation and make some changes, but being in Taurus part of you feels as though you should ride the storm, or wait things out. As a result, you may make no change what-so-ever. In many cases, a change or adjustment is what is required and usually if it is an adjustment it is not minor. If you have a look at the placement by house position of your Sun and where Uranus will be transiting when it makes this quincunx as this will give you a good idea of what needs to change. Have a look at where natal Uranus is as well and also if there is a natal aspect between the Sun and Uranus in your birth chart. This will broaden your understanding of what needs to transpire and you will have a good idea what this is about. However, you probably already know or at least have an good idea. Uranus often acts in an unpredictable manner and it might be wise when you get the hint or push that things need examining and eventual changed that you make those adjustments, but Uranus being in Taurus might make that a little tough. There may be some fear and a worrisome fear that things are not as steadfast or stable as you might want them to be. You may be concerned that if you make that move the outcome is unpredictable. It can be frightening, but under most conditions, Uranus is about required change and new directions that over time will put you on the path that you are meant to take. It may take as long as a year or two to really understand what all this is about and why things went the way they did, but you will understand as time passes. Remind yourself that all changes brought on by the energies of Uranus are necessary changes. You will benefit from the outcome. Of course we always have options and the final choice will always be yours and yours alone to make. Astrology is to be used as a guide, but Uranus is also known as the awakener and rules Astrology.

Have you been searching for someone who will make you whole? Do you envy other couples that seem to be comfortable together and appear so complete? You might ask yourself will I ever be able to locate my significant other? Is there someone out there for me that will complete me? It is so important to understand that no one else can make you whole. Wholeness and completeness is a feeling that comes from within. Yes, someone else can compliment who we are but they cannot make us whole. We are always whole within. If we spend our time looking for someone, we may find that that special someone will always be elusive. The search itself suggests that we feel as though we “need” and are “lacking”. This is the energy we are surrounding ourselves with and therefore to keep that energy alive, no one will show up. If we express a lack, we ask for more of the same. The secret is to know that we are perfectly fine on our own and we do not “need” someone else to make us whole. Stop searching and the search will be over. By being at ease with what is in our life now, we find contentment. When we are happy with who we are and our circumstances, the door opens for more happiness. There is no such thing as a perfect partner but there certainly is someone out there for each of us. No one will reflect the imaginative perfect picture we have created as our perfect love yet if we are flexible and willing to work at a relationship, there is someone out there for each of us. If we look for flaws within others, we will only find flaws. If we look for the good in others, we will see the good shine. For those of us that believe in past lives, we do not question that those individuals that come into our circle have been with us before and sometimes there is karma to be played out. Karma can be challenging but can also be rewarding. We build our lives by what is done in the moment and can ask for Karma to be lived out now. Some individuals will meet that special person and maybe even their soul mate but may not recognize them as such because of their expectations. Our soul mate can easily be the one we spend our life with or they can be someone you spend a period of time with to learn a specific lesson. Release expectations and remain open. Expect challenges and hard work. Love and allow. Do not forget however to realize the wholeness within.

A natal aspect between the Sun and Jupiter regardless of which aspect it may be holds great promise. The trine, in particular, is favourable as it provides easy flow and positive outcomes. When Jupiter is involved in any aspect it often implies good luck and beneficial results which often promote substantial growth and expansion. Jupiter brings positive outcomes, favourable conditions and promising opportunities. It is like having a good luck charm. The Sun speaks of our goals and ambitions. This could include business enterprise, capital investment, inner development and our life’s path. Personal development is also tied to the Sun and Jupiter will promote inner reflection often leading to further development and growth as an individual. It brings good luck in obtaining benefits and opportunities to make a name in business, in recognition for diligent work and for any push to succeed. Easy growth is often indicated with this combination and the path ahead is often without obstacles. Much can be obtained and this would also include any spiritual development that may interest you, any religious experience and philosophical pursuits. Some of these avenues that you may wish to follow can be found while exploring other cultures and while in foreign countries. Travel to promote growth is highly recommended throughout life and visiting new surroundings may be right up your alley. Don’t forget this is a natal aspect, so it will be something that works favorably throughout life’s experience when it becomes activated through transit or progression. Much will depend on the houses involved and the signs that this trine aspect falls in. A trine in water may indicate intuitive understanding and development and an understanding of emotions, and your caring nature may expand over time. A fire trine may indicate the ability to push forward and achieve in life, a want for excitement and exploration and a need for discovery. An earth trine may indicate that material abundance is attainable or in some cases you may be born into wealth and prosperity. An air trine could indicate opportunities and easy flow in the communication fields, perhaps teaching, or lecturing or becoming a writer or philosopher is indicated. A trine between the first and fifth houses may indicate good fortune in romantic involvements or an enterprise dealing with your creative potential. A trine from the second to the sixth house may indicate security often in financial terms working in your favour tied to your working environment and a good affiliation with co-workers. It may mean favorable health with a robust and strong body. A trine between the third and seventh house, could indicate good communication within close personal relationship often the husband or wife. It could also mean that there is a good rapport with siblings and neighbours. This trine brings many opportunities but trines often need stimulation. Sometimes we need to make use of these pleasant vibrations and use the energies to expand on life’s opportunities. The worst thing that we can do is sit back and do nothing, just because things seem to fall into our lap. We still need to expand on our trines and sextiles and make things happen. Opportunities await those that choose to explore these potentials.

In some way, we are influenced by those we meet along life’s journey, and in particular, we are highly influenced by our parents and family members. If we think about how we were brought up, we probably note that many of the things that our parents taught us have been carried forward and we are still utilizing some of them today. It can work quite the opposite as well. Because of some of the ways we were influenced we are determined NOT to bring forward some of these influences. In some cases we were influenced by our parents in a very challenging way (I refuse to use the word “negative”) and now because of these, we teach or influence our children differently. We should be thankful that we have learned from these lessons as our children benefit from these. In many cases the foundation of our attitude and belief structures were put in place in our formative years and we have hopefully adapt these throughout our lives. If we were loved and felt warmth and compassion from our parents, most likely we are comfortable in our own skin. We move forward with confidence and with fewer internal challenges than some others who may have experienced little or no love and affection. It is important to remember though that love and affection can be shown in many different ways however. There are conflicting articles as to the most impressionable years of a child’s development – some say the first five years, some say the first seven years and yet others same from six to 14. Apparently, all years are important to provide a positive influence on our children and their development. Do we teach our children through fear or do we teach them through love? This question may seem ridiculous to most of us but certainly one that needs to be contemplated. What example are we setting? So many parents teach their children to engage their minds but equally important, are we teaching them to engage their hearts? If they learn to respect and love themselves, they will be able to love and respect others. “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” - Frederick Douglass Even though we are influenced by our upbringing, when we reach the age of self awareness, we are free to choose and mold our own personal responses to life. We are free to change any aspect of ourselves and nothing from our past has to be adopted as our own. If our upbringing was less than ideal, we can accept our past as that (our past) and we can move forward and leave it where it belongs, in the past. Once we reach the stage of self awareness we realize that we are responsible for whom we are. No one has control over us unless we hand over that control to them. Sometimes we just need to look back to see and understand what took place and by doing so, we realize that we can make any change we want to. Yes, our parents have an influence and can provide us with a good foundation but with self awareness if that foundation makes you feel less than perfect, we have the choice of pouring new footings and building your own foundation.

Those individuals that Saturn has a square aspect to the Moon in their natal chart likely have a difficult time expressing their emotions. This is particularly true if, for instance, Mercury is also square to the Moon perhaps in conjunction with Saturn. They may appear emotionally distant, cold or detached but this may not hold true on an internal perspective, especially if the Moon is in a water sign. When we look only at the Moon and Saturn (without any other influence), these individuals may actually be hesitant to express their emotions. Perhaps there could be a reluctance to display emotions because they were restricted emotionally by a parent. Quite often those with this combination had a challenge due to the resistance of emotional release from the mother, and as a result, they were not permitted or were held back from releasing their emotions. They may have been pushed to bury their sensitivity at a young age. The Mother or “normally more feminine parent” may have been a strict disciplinarian and always showed strength and determination. This parent may have wanted to pass this on to their children. Much will depends, however, on the sign of the Moon and its house placement in the natal chart. The Moon also is reflective of our nurturing abilities and our protective instincts towards our own children and those that we deem to be emotionally in need. Individuals with this square would most likely have a protective urge and would keep their children within arm’s reach. There may be a fear that their children need to be protected and they will do so with great intensity. There may also be challenging conditions linked to nurturing and their ideas of nurturing may be tight fisted and there would be a lesson of learning to have a softer touch. These individual could be hard on their children and also hard on themselves from an emotional perspective. Saturn can also be reflective of a demanding authoritative figure. In personal terms, this combination can suggest an individual who is very controlled and disciplined always appearing to be in control of life’s situations and never showing their sensitivities. Emotions may be viewed as a weakness and even when they are experiencing turmoil within, they appear restrained and measured. Saturn is the disciplinarian but also the teacher. Although the road to emotional expression may be hindered, the goal may be to restrain oneself in emotionally intense situations in life and in turn to learn from this approach. Control may be a lesson in this life. A more relaxed and slow but deliberate release of emotions may unclog the tension that this natal aspect might hold. Letting go of fear can reduce this tension and it is important to know that all challenging aspects in the birth chart can be remedied if the individual is willing to put in the work to overcome and learn from the aspect. If they can do this, the energies will no longer hold them tight on a leash.

There are so many people struggling with issues and they feel alone and without assistance. They feel lost in the confusion and caught up in stories and expectations. What stories initiated these feelings – a relationship, self-worth, past experiences when it seemed it did not matter how hard they tried, they always felt stifled by those that meant the most to them? Many of us carry the past forward into today’s experience and continue on with an attitude that only hinders our progress. If not us personally, many of us know someone who is dealing with these exact issues. We can offer assistance and sometimes all they need to do is talk and get their feelings out. Life can be very difficult for those caught up in the shortfalls of their expectations. Most of us at some point in life have spent some time in this place. A kind word or a honest observation may be exactly what is needed to help propel these individuals beyond their current focus. We may not even be aware of the importance of our words yet they can be a defining moment in someone else’s life. We are here to experience life in the moment. The ride may be bumpy at times but this is only temporary if we do not set up shop in an event’s memory. We are all very resilient and in most cases each of us can get through challenging experiences on our own but there is no substitute for the support and love of friend and family. With the experience of another hurdle behind us, we are just a little bit wiser and stronger from the experience. Many times, our focus and expectations stand in our way to overcome that hurdle quickly. If we can allow and acknowledge and then move on, life is so much easier emotionally. For those around us going through a life lesson, we can be that helping hand, that warm touch. We can offer support which in turn provides the last little push for these individuals to lift themselves over the hurdles. Although we can offer advice and loving support, they are the ones that have to discover their own strength and make the decisions necessary to find their way clear to learn the lessons as they are presented. Offer that helping hand. Be that warm touch of support. It never hurts to let someone know that you are by their side and remind them that they can overcome and be better for it in the end. Life’s lessons can always be learned and once digested are the source of strength and growth.

Information about our path in life, our self-expression and most any other thing about who we are and the journey we are taking can be outlined in our Astrology chart. An Astrology chart is a road map of our life’s journey and can be very indicative of the view that we experience along the way. It defines our upbringing, our emotional interaction, our expression and thought process, our love expression or lack thereof and our sense of wellbeing just to touch on some examples. The birth or natal chart is the snapshot of our lives written in the language of an Astrologer and forever embedded in our consciousness. The Sun characteristics are a definition of our inner self. It indicates the path we will follow and is suggestive of our goals in life and our self-expression. The Sun by aspect also describes our experience with our father or the more masculine parent and our concepts of this individual. The Sun is tied to our path. The aspects to it will in part define how we move ahead in life and will define obstructions on the path. It will give us indicators of how we can use the energies to our advantage as we propel ourselves forward in life. Our focus today is the Sun Square Mars in the birth or natal chart. We will focus on what this aspect would suggest in a birth chart. With the Sun square to Mars especially by tight aspect, this individual would feel as though life has to be fought in order to win or move ahead. It would be suggestive that this will not be an easy journey, but the energy of a square does provide the push to move beyond barriers that stand in the way of life’s progress and this individual will strive to overcome any adversity. Mars and the Sun are similar in that they are both linked to achievement, energy and drive in life. With the square aspect, work is required on some level, much is dependent upon the signs of Mars and the Sun, as well as the houses they are located in within the birth chart. The challenge for this individual would be to move through adversity and strive to make something out of self. This may be from an internal perspective but can also be based on outer achievements and a strong push to succeed at their life’s endeavors. The Sun, as mentioned, does represent the father or more masculine or disciplinarian parent. With the square to Mars, it is often representative of a battle on some level with this parent. This may have been in physical terms as they may have had an argumentative disposition which could create combative and challenging situations. This parent may also have been the propelling force behind promoting self which in turn pushed for achievement. This parent may have been aggressive or gruff in their behaviour and they may have used forceful tactics to achieve what was important to them. This parent probably had to fight for success just as the child (subject of the astrology chart) most likely will have to. The relationship between the two, this individual with the aspect and their parent in question, may not have been easy, but hopefully the individual with this aspect can find a way of understanding their parent’s motives. This parent may feel that in order to achieve it is important to push one’s self and that the road of life may not be an easy one, so the parent’s methods may not be considered passive and gentle. If the energies of this aspect are used appropriately, this individual will find a way to push past any obstruction and will have a strong drive to conquer anything that stands in their way. This aspect will promote strength and determination to succeed regardless of intrusion and will build character and an inner determination as time passes. If the energies are not used appropriately, this individual may give in to the pressures of life and feel that it is useless to pursue any goals of meaning because of the hurdles that seem to stand in the way. It is important to understand that all challenges within the natal chart can learn and overcome. Once we have learned from the challenges, we building strength and endurance; and we learn to recognize that we can conquer anything with the right approach.

The Sun moved into the fiery sign of Sagittarius late on November 22, 2018 in our area (Ontario). Those with their Sun sign in the element fire are enthusiastic about life and eager to make things happen. They are energetic, self-motivated, self-confident and optimistic in their approach. They often react spontaneously without much forethought and are stimulated by life. These qualities are quite common for anyone born under a fire sign or with a strong emphasis in the element fire in their birth charts. Sagittarians are enthusiastic about life’s experience and have a love of travel and the outdoors. The wide open spaces intrigue them and exploration is high on their priority list. In most cases, they are optimistic about life and you would find them stating, even under the harshest conditions, that “something good is just around the next corner”. Their optimism can be quite contagious. Much of this approach to life’s matters is due to their ruling planet which is Jupiter. Jupiter is an expansive energy and when linked to Sagittarius, there will be an interest in philosophy, religion, spirituality and anything that can provide them with the opportunity to expand their horizons. Some will go to extremes to further their education, whether this education is actual schooling or the school of life. Often higher education is part of the typical Sagittarian goals. These individuals are open to most anything that you would classify intriguing. They search for the truth in life through personal experience. Those with their Sun in the early degrees of Sagittarius currently have Jupiter conjunct their Sun. Jupiter will transit all those with their Sun in Sagittarius at some point (timing will depend on the degree of their Sun) until December of 2019. As Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius this is considered a very favorable conjunction, although the whole natal chart has to be examined to see how this could transpire. Jupiter brings with it good luck and opportunities for expansion. If, for example, this conjunction would fall in the second house of the astrology chart, the potential for financial increase is heightened when the conjunction is direct. Any security issue would also work in a favorable manner, but once again you have to take into consideration all the other transits including Neptune which is square this placement and Uranus which is in trine to this placement currently. If the Sun is poorly aspected in the birth chart then the potential is not as favorable as it would be if the Sun were well aspected. Transiting Uranus (as a result of the trine mentioned earlier) could bring opportunities in an unexpected manner for those with their Sun in the late degrees of Sagittarius. Trines bring easy flow and beneficial potential, while squares bring obstacles and may indicate challenging conditions linked to this configuration. Transiting Neptune is square to those with their Sun in the mid degrees of Sagittarius. It would be wise to make sure that any plans with pushing ahead with some goal be reviewed for clarity before plunging headfirst into action if your Sun is in the mid degree of Sagittarius. Neptune tends to put a veil of uncertainty over things especially when it is square by aspect. However, it could also open doors to mysticism and spirituality, although it would not come easily and a lot of self-reflection would be required (without rose colored glasses being worn). It is important to see things as they are, not as you might wish them to be. Realism is important with this connection but can be found under the right conditions. Once again, you will have to take into consideration the overall story the birth chart is telling and all other mitigating factors that might either impede or augment this aspect between Neptune and the Sun. Over and above what we have written in theis post, we will also be doing a mini forecast in the near future for Sagittarius. Happy birthday, Sagittarians.

We can be tightly bound by our beliefs. If, for example, we think of ourselves as a failure in life, or believe that we are not worthy of love and happiness, then we stop ourselves short of success, love and happiness. If we believe that there is little to no future for us, how can we possibly move beyond these barriers to build the future of our dreams? We have reduced our potential and have held ourselves back because of these attitudes. Some have argued that “off and on throughout life I have been faced with challenging conditions and it seems as though no matter how hard I try to push ahead nothing seems to ever work.” We do not know what this journey will hold for us and at times we will experience conditions and events that we did not choose to experience. However any challenging experiences offer rewards. I am sure you have heard this before and you may be tired of hearing such statements. Part of you may believe these to be hogwash. If this is the case, why are there repetitive themes in life? Why to the same issues keep resurfacing? If we do not learn, the lesson will repeat. Our attitude can make a valuable lesson easily learned or it can make a valuable lesson feel as though it is a punishment. Pay attention to how you look at life’s events. Sometimes lessons repeat themselves because we need to make changes in our surroundings and other time we just need to shift our attitude. Believe it or not, the easiest test is to make a shift in attitude and then review where this takes you. Change may not happen overnight but then again it might. It is important to remember that it has taken us some time to get to where we currently are so it is quite possible it may take some time for the shift to take hold but that is okay. We are not in a hurry. Have patience and believe in yourself. See ego’s chatter for what is actually is. Ego insists on giving you a hard time and the closer you get to recognizing its false influence, the harder it tries to convince you it is right. Eventually we see ego for what it really is and we do not have to give it control over our lives. Ego, from its negative perspective, does not realize that we can actually have a wonderful working relationship. With the proper relationship ego can help and we can be stronger because of it. Ego can nurture our creative self. It is time to release the shackles of negative attitude and underestimating our ability to love life. As with everyone, we are entitled to happiness and we can prosper in our own ways. Life provides whatever we feel we are worthy off. If you feel unworthy, you will be. If you love yourself, life will be filled with love. Recognize that life reflects our believe structure and our expectations.

On November 23, 2018, at 12:41 a.m. EST, we will experience the Full Moon which will be in the sign of Gemini at zero degrees. This Beaver Full Moon will be in opposition to Jupiter which is at three degrees Sagittarius. The Full Moon will also square (by wide angle) Mars which is at four degrees in the sign of Pisces, and last but not least the Full Moon will sextile the North Node which is at twenty-nine degrees Cancer. It is safe to say that will be an energy charged Full Moon. Knowing that during the energies of a Full Moon you should harvest the goals you have plants and nurtured in life and with the Full Moon being in the sign of Gemini and in the first decant, this would suggest that you should take the time to digest any information you have acquired and then communicate the knowledge and understandings you have gathered in the recent past. Some Astrologers suggest that the culmination of events or experiences that are ripe for harvest go back to seeds planet about one month previously; other Astrologers, including me, believe that these seeds were planets at the New Moon phase under the same sign. In this case, it would have been goals set under the New Moon in Gemini on May 29, 2018 that are now ready to yield. You would have had six months to nurture and work towards this harvest. When you work with the energies that are available, it makes reaching goals much more easy. If you plant seeds relating to Gemini’s energies, such as developing communicational skills or going back to school to learn, under the New Moon in Gemini, you should be able to bring these goals (harvest) to the next stage under the energies of this Full Moon. Gemini’s energies assist with digesting knowledge, sharing information and in a positive sense putting this knowledge into concrete action. However, Gemini tends to cultivate many things at the same time, and as a result, you may move too quickly or not spending enough time in any one give area to becoming an expert in any field. Gemini can be too scattered. With this in mind, it will be imperative that you narrow down, by order of importance, what you are focusing under these energies. Do not be too broad with your horizons. There are many extraordinary ideas generated by this intellectual earth sign; however the energies may need to be honed in a specific direction. The energies may focus on written material or the signing of important documents. It will be important to make sure that all the material has gone through a structured, systematic review before you move ahead with your ideas. Do your due diligence. With this Full Moon being in sextile to the North Node, there is often an opportunity available with what is taking place. The path is clear and you have an outline of what you can do to push ahead in your endeavors. Sometimes someone comes into your life who can assist in some way during this period and with Jupiter in opposition to this Full Moon, the potential for success is highlighted, as long as you take each step in order and have not jump because of impatience. Jupiter often brings good luck and opportunities and the potential for growth and expansion. As mentioned, there is also a wide square to transiting Mars with this Full Moon’s positioning. This energy (although it is out by four degrees,) may still have some impact in some way. Mars’ energies push us ahead with little restraint and this might hinder things somewhat if you are not totally ready to make this move ahead. The Full Moon often suggests however that the time is ripe for manifesting. If your advance is too aggressively or in a very forceful manner, the outcome may not be as successful as it could have been if you carefully planning out your steps. Mars can be an agitator for action and rather dynamic in its exchange. However it does appear that you are on the right path due to the sextile from the North Node. Push ahead and if something does go astray, you can always begin again with the information from the challenge to give you better odds for the outcome with your second attempt. We always learn a great deal from our challenges and challenges do not mean we have to give up.

During the course of our lifetime, we will have experienced many struggles, some of which are extremely hard to move beyond. Most of us experience the loss of a relationship, especially when we are young. A breakup can be so in intense and devastating that we hold on blindly, hoping that circumstances will change and our partner will miraculously come back to us. Sometimes, this does happen and if so, this usually does not happen until we have actually finally let go. The act of letting go often opens the door to what needs to happen next. If we are blessed with longevity in life, it is inevitable that we will experience our parents becoming old and feeble. Many parents, if they live long enough, will likely lose the ability to take care of themselves without have some type of assistance. We each do our best to show them the love and support they need. Eventually, they move beyond this material existence and we have to learn to release and allow. They are always with us but certainly not in the form and energy that we are accustomed to. Life in this material world is finite. For most of us that are left behind, (family and friends) the struggle with loss is real and challenging. Losing friends and family is challenging. In some cases, we were able to prepare for the final day, but most times, death is unexpected. Many feel at a loss even for the little things such as not being able to say goodbyes. Those that love us would never want us to hang on to the past, as life on this earth is for the living. Living in the past is not living, it is only existing. A friend once said after losing his wife that he refused to grieve. Instead of grieving his loss, he chose to celebrate that he and his wife were able to share the years that they had together. He had no regrets. His attitude truly supports the saying “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”. What a wonderful way to look at the death of a loved one. Each of us deal with grief and loss in our own way. There is no right way and there is no wrong way. We have to reach deep within and find our personal answers. No matter how we decide to grieve any loss, eventually we have to let go and move on to be able to live again. If we choose to hold on and not let go, then actually more than one person stopped living during that one death experience. We will never forget and why would we want to. Celebrate the experiences that have been shared. Nothing can take those away. Our loved ones are never far away. When we think of them, they are close by. Do not be afraid or uncomfortable to talk to them. They hear you. Many times they respond if we are open to their responses. Pay attention to the smells when you are thinking of them. Pay attention to how you feel when you think of them. They show up in so many different ways. If you are at a crossroad and someone near and dear has left you, let go and allow. This will open doors that would otherwise be left closed. Allow yourself to live again. We are never alone and we can always reach out for support if it is needed. Live life to its fullest. Be in the moment and appreciate life’s wonders as they are ever present yet only experience by those who are open to them.
