When transiting Jupiter makes a trine to your Natal Sun, this can be a most positive experiences. The trine can last as much as 3 to 4 months if Jupiter goes retrograde during the aspect. You can give this aspect a fairly wide orb of influence stretching out as much as 5 to 7 degrees approaching and still being in effect as much as 3 to 4 degrees separating. Jupiter brings with it good luck and opportunities and this could manifest in many areas of life; much depends on which house Jupiter will be transiting through as well as the house in which your Sun is located. These will be areas of life that will be generating good fortune and important issues into your life. You may find that you are feeling self-confident during this time and you feel as though you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. Your optimism helps to make some of these things materialize. Sometimes goals and objectives that you have been working on come to fruition during this time frame. It is also a great time when it comes to financial matters, that is unless you have other mitigating factors affecting this area of life. Unless Saturn is involved in a negative sense, you have a lot of push in your favour but you should make sure that you take advantage of these opportunities, as some will feel so comfortable that you just want to wait for opportunities to come to you. This is a time to broaden your material horizons and things may fall into place quite nicely. Just watch for overspending as Jupiter tends to exaggerate and expand anything it touches including spending. In general, your health should be quite robust during this time as well and if you are not looking after yourself properly now might be the time to push yourself a little and improve conditions. There are those that put on weight during this time as once again Jupiter expands. This is particularly true if Jupiter is passing over your ascendant. Exercise is suggested especially if you can find ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Jupiter loves expansive and open places and nature is right up its energies’ alley. Jupiter also has its connections to travel--usually long distance travel. If you are not able to travel you can do so in your mind. Jupiter is attached to higher learning and religious doctrines, and anything spiritual may have a greater than normal appeal to you. At present, Jupiter is in the sign of Libra and will remain in Libra most of this year (2017). Libra is a balancing sign and is connected to partnership, enjoyment and socializing. This could be a great year to make things happen in relationships of importance. You may decide to get married or engaged during this time and in most cases the timing is good. Enjoy life. This is part of our purpose here on earth and this period suggests that you do just that. Have fun, share your life and seek harmony and peace. You can’t ask for any more than that. Enjoy!

With the New Moon falling in Aquarius on January 27, 2017 in our area of the world, we will be provided with an opportunity to make a new start with something that will manifest over time and help us move forward in our objectives. These objectives might focus around humanitarian concerns beginning with your friends and neighbors with the Aquarius influence. We might as well begin close to home or even in the home. Aquarius is a forward thinking sign. Perhaps it is a little ahead of its time, but always thinking in terms of helping others (as well as themselves) move out from places or situations which have stagnated them. This can touch on various actions but mostly likely will include manoeuvring yourself into a position that might have some impact on the world around you. Make sure peace and equality are high on the agenda and that whatever you are trying to push forward with is beneficial for all those involved. Sometimes making changes can be difficult, but they are usually necessary. Remaining in a difficult and stagnated situation serves little purpose. Aquarius’ purpose it to make you realize that there is more out there waiting for you and you do not have to be satisfied with anything less than what you rightfully deserve. This could include a relationship that you have been putting off because you just don’t think that you have what it takes, or a career move that frightens you because of your belief that you have potential shortcomings. If you have thought these things through and you are only holding back because of ego downplaying your abilities, you might just want to make that decision and take the plunge. Aquarius wants to break free of restriction and find new avenues of expression. It dares you to walk away from what feels comfortable, has now gone stale and offers little new potential. Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius along together with Saturn. These two planets’ energies do work a little against one another. Uranus is the trend breaker, the freedom seeker, the creator of the new wave movement, while Saturn is the one that wishes things to remain the same and is uncomfortable with anything new or untested. Saturn can be rather restrictive and although it does offer stability, it also provides you with reality and something that is firm and has a foundation. You may have to juggle between these two alternatives during this important decision making which falls under the influence of the New Moon in Aquarius. Watch for jumping for the sake of jumping. Always do your homework. Rash behaviour and impulsive actions have been known to be associated with the energies of Aquarius. As long as all the “i”s have been dotted and the “t”s have been crossed, you should be in a position to make your move or stay for that matter. The choice is always yours. Astrology points the way but you are in the driver’s seat of your life. This New Moon falls at 8 degrees Aquarius and any planet in your chart along with any angles at this degree (you can go as far back as 5 degrees of any sign and as far forward as 11 degrees of any sign) will be influenced by this New Moon. By taking into consideration the house position of the New Moon and any angles or planetary aspects that enhance this New Moon, you will get a clearer picture of how these energies might unfold and what areas of life will be involved for you personally.

There might be many who read the title of this post and refuse to read on. Ravaged implies a world and its occupants that has been severely damaged and devastated. It and they truly have been by the hands of some of earth’s inhabitants. There is always hope in salvaging our world and the quality of our existence here. Some say that we have gone beyond the tipping point but I refuse to live in hopelessness. In focusing on the inhabitants, their actions are unpredictable in terms of peace. There are many that walk this earth that have different viewpoints than we do. They say that the optimist or those that are hopeful see the glass as half full; however, the pessimist or those that are doubtful see the glass as half empty. Our perspective not only manifests in our world but it also creates on a constant basis. So what can you do to change the course of our world? Take a look at your personal world. What is your part to play? It all begins at home. How do you treat those close to you, those that you love? We lead by example, not by mere words. Action is what unlocks doors. Action is what other see and ultimately what can motivate them. Our torn world can certainly recuperate. There are many workers doing their part. The higher our vibration, the greater positive impact we will have on this world. It is not what you can do to change things; it is what you ARE doing right now to create change. Do not wait for someone else to lead the way. Be the catalyst. You are not at the mercy of life. Anything and everything begins with you.

The Sun moved into the sign of Aquarius on the 20th of January in 2017. Please see out post from January 23 which we are continuing today. Aquarius individuals are broad minded and have a very liberal approach to life. They believe that there should be no segregation when it comes to ethnicity, race, or cultural background. They view everyone as equals and their aim is to awaken the masses from their complacency and from the accepted norm. They can be a little over the top when seeking this in their relationships. Those individuals that do not wish static in their lives may, from time to time, be a little dismayed by their Aquarius friend’s approach. These Aquarians will usually back off once their message has been received however. Many Aquarius appear rather astute in their mannerisms and they appeal to the masses, as everyone matters to them. They can seem quite cold in their emotional response and this gives them a reputation of being detached and unaffected by life’s emotional dramas. Much of this will also depend on where the Moon is located in their chart as well as what sign it is in. There is something unusual and unique about the average Aquarian. They are their own individual and will not attempt to mix in with the general public by matching their clothing style, mannerisms or belief structures. They are different and they know this, and they are usually quite comfortable with this. They also feel that in some way they are special, although this is usually not based on ego. They believe that everyone has something special and unique to offer and that all answers can be found by looking within. They are great freedom seekers and do not like to be hemmed in, in any way. They are ruled by Uranus, known as the awakener and co-ruled by Saturn. They need to walk their own path and are steadfast in their approach, fixated in their opinions and often quite sure of themselves unless there are other mitigating factors in the birth chart. They are reliable and a good companion and will bring people into their circle that they hardly even know. They are likable, friendly, yet distant and often are non-committed unless they have their freedom. Friendship is very important to the average Aquarian and they will seek out those with like minds and share their stories with those that are willing to listen. At times, they can be demanding although generally they offer others the same freedom that they seek. In general as romantics, they may leave a bit to be desired although you will have to look at the overall condition of the natal chart as well as the placement of Venus and Mars and any emphasis of the fifth house to confirm this. They are drawn to almost anyone although they love communication and open talk. As a result, they work well with those that have many air signs. Gemini individuals are very open and dialogue between these two signs can be uplifting and interesting for those that are seeking progressive messages. Some Aquarians do not do well with those individuals that are strong in their emotional nature, as Aquarians seem to have difficulty understanding emotions. They depend on the rational mind although many are intuitive and go by instinct. They are focused on progress and aim to lift themselves out of complacency and will help others to do the same. Open your door to an Aquarian and you will have a friend for life. Visit www.holmastrology.com for more information on Astrology and information on the Astrological charts we offer.

What is your main focus in life? What are you future plans in life? Will you choose to remain in the shadows of your former self, or will you rise to the occasion and fulfill or meet your own personal dreams? Your life is a reflection of what you believe is attainable. It is a reflection of where you place your expectations. What are your limitations? Do limitations actually stem from outside of self? Are you goals within your reach or have you place limitations on yourself? Have you erected barriers to stop yourself from reaching your goals because of conscious or unconscious reasons? Remember that your thoughts and attitudes can be your catalyst or they can be your barriers. Your thoughts of barriers and lack of self worth are what stand in the way. Nothing else holds you back. You are not at the mercy of others unless you allow this. You always have command of your attitude and outlook. Your life is meant to be lived from the highest vantage point possible. It is our thoughts that alter our direction, because we own each thought and believe it to be real. We are not our thoughts. We are not our bodies. Following our beliefs blindly is a choice. We are the one that dwells within. We are the energy that listens to the busy mind. We are the one who is connected to Source energy. At our fingertips, we have always had everything that we need for this moment. Step forward, look within and find yourself.

The Sun moved into the sign of Aquarius on January 20, 2017. Generally speaking, 2017 will be very good for those born with their Sun in Aquarius between 8 to 29 degrees. Those with their Sun between 16 to 29 degrees Aquarius will have a sextile from Transiting Saturn which will be in the sign of Sagittarius for most of 2017, and they will also have a sextile from the planet Uranus which will be in Aries. At the same time, those with their Sun sign in Aquarius between 7 to 18 degrees will have a semi-sextile from Transiting Neptune. There will be a semi-sextile from transiting Pluto for those with their Sun from 12 to 24 degrees Aquarius. Transiting Jupiter will also be making a trine for those with the Sun between 10 to 29 degrees Aquarius until September/October of 2017. As indicated many Aquarius individuals will likely have a great year. We will take a close look at each of these aspects in upcoming posts for this Sun sign. These aspects are not the full picture however. Make sure when deciphering these aspects that you also take into consideration how your Sun is aspected in your natal chart. You will also need to look at the planets in mention to the Sun. You can allow a couple of degrees leeway if you are sensitive to the energies of your Sun sign (many people are). Some can feel the energies as much as 10 - 12 degrees approaching and 2 - 5 degrees separating. Aquarius individuals are progressive thinkers often ahead of their time by as much as 30 to 50 years. This adds to why some Aquarians are misunderstood or seem eccentric and erratic in their behaviour and mannerisms. Those with powerful influences by Aquarius (several planets in Aquarius) or those with many planets in the eleventh house (which is ruled by this sign) will be able to identify with these qualities. This also applies to those with their Ascendant in the sign of Aquarius. Aquarius individuals are humanitarian in their nature and their aim is to sway the masses into conscious behaviour and teach them to pull themselves out of complacency and ridged routines. This is all in favour of growth in a spiritual and open-minded manner. Aquarian’s goals are to raise the consciousness of mankind and do it in ways that affect the many rather than the few.

Saturn will often cause you to withdraw into yourself to evaluate personal relationships and your life on a material basis when it is conjunct Venus. It is a time when you will have a close look at any existing relationships that are lacking in substance. These types of relationships will either go through a period of great scrutiny or you may walk away from the individual involved. It could be considered a time of testing our relationships and examining them in great detail. Those connections that do make it through this investigative period will be solid and reliable, and you would be wise to recognize this. You may also find that you must tighten of spending or at the very least, take a good analysis of the budget. It would be wise decision not to go any further in debt until this transit has passed, at the very least. If you have been going through a period of budgeting and have taken a conservative approach, this could be a good time to finalize the plan and to structure your life so that you are well prepared in the future. Setting up a retirement plan and setting aside a certain amount of money weekly or monthly would be a good way to prepare for the future according to this aspect. Saturn is always looking at the long haul and if you currently follow Saturn’s advice and do not accompany the goals with worry, you could set yourself up for a comfortable future. It can also be a time of self-study. Have an honest look at how your relationships may need some adjustments. This is a good time for reflect on how you interact with others and either loosen up or become more structured in how you deal with them. Perhaps you are too frivolous when it comes to spending your money on friends and you should become more giving. On the other hand perhaps you have been giving yourself away and now you will have to pick and choose those that you deem worthy of your generosity. Saturn and Venus under many conditions are not very well suited for one another, but a lot can be learned during this time. Spend time on your own. Take the time to think and reflect but do not stay this way for extended periods of time. Take note of the changes you might make in order to make things run more smooth. Never let pessimism rule however. Always stay optimistic and make changes where and how you see fit. You can obtain more information on Astrology and our charts at www.holmastrology.com.

It’s okay to be kind to yourself. You deserve it. Many of us work hard all of our lives and offer assistance to those in need. When is the time right to do something for ourselves? If we are exhausted mentally or physically, how can we keep helping others in a positive way? We can live a life of service without selling ourselves short. We are worthy of our own help and we are worthy of accepting help from others. It is not wrong or ego centred to think about our own needs. Recognize your own self-worth. Just as with helping others, love plays out the same way. You cannot love others if you cannot love yourself. If you find that you are unhappy, make changes either to your circumstances or to your attitude. You cannot wait for someone else to do this for you. This is impossible. You deserve happiness! What are you waiting for? Visit www.holmastrology.com for more information on Astrology and information on the Astrological charts we offer.

For a large portion of 2017, transiting Saturn will be in Sagittarius from 21 to 29 degrees. In late December, it moves into the sign of Capricorn. This post will affect those with their Sun in Sagittarius between 17 degrees to the end of the sign and into the early degrees of Capricorn. Remember to take into consideration the house that your Sun is in as well as the overall condition of your Sun by planetary aspects as you read this post. The position of your natal Saturn will also be part of the energies. Saturn generally has its greatest effect when it is two degrees past direct. For example, if your Sun is at 23 degrees Sagittarius, Saturn will have its greatest impact at 25 degrees Sagittarius. Saturn tends to delay action and often slows down progress. This could explain why it is strongest at two degrees past direct, unlike any other planet. Saturn takes its time as it wants to make sure that everything has been competed as perfectly as possible. Sagittarius addresses higher learning and often deals directly with religion, spirituality, and an advanced philosophy of life that looks at everything from a positive perspective. Sagittarius truly believes that there is always something better waiting just around the next corner. Saturn on the other hand can be quite restrictive and challenges you to work hard, even alone and that although hard work can be tedious at times, the efforts are often tied to the end result. Saturn tests your ambitions and can also affect your health when directly related to the Sun, although a thorough examination of your chart would be required for a clear, accurate evaluation. If you do feel tired or run down during this period, this is normal, but if you have any major concerns, you should have a physical checkup at least once during Saturn’s stay in Sagittarius. Checking the natal potential for this however is highly advised. Saturn can bring to fruition efforts which might have been started some 14 years ago when it was in opposition to the Sun. Whatever was initiated at that time may now be brought forward and the results of those actions may now be seen. Often an opposition suggests that others were involved in the outcome and the results can be either very fulfilling or you may be frustrated about the outcome of these actions. This current period initiates a time of responsibility and difficulties, and although you may feel burdened and over-worked during this time, the more you put into your efforts, the greater the potential outcome. Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, does bring with it some luck and opportunities, but consistency and hard work is usually an important part of the process. This period could involve your occupation and any goals you have set for yourself. As mentioned previously, Saturn can also affect your health, and you should be careful to neither overdo things nor put too much responsibility on yourself. Sometimes these extra responsibilities that often manifest during this period will stem directly from your superiors. Do not to take on any more than you are capable of handling and know your limits. If you have been working on a project and it is near its completion or will find its conclusion at some point during this year, it is advised that you keep working towards the end result and do not start any new projects until this one is completed. This is often a time when you learn about perseverance and hard work, and patience is often an area that needs some work. Remember the harder you work at something, the greater the chances for a successful conclusion. If something does not work out the way you had planned, you can stay on the same path in some way and make whatever alterations are required to make things work. If you find that the potential is not good for a positive outcome, you can cut your losses and recognize that things are sometimes not meant to be. You may feel somewhat limited and your normal optimistic approached to life may be thwarted during this time. You are learning perseverance and the potential for rewards is also in the works. Do not allow negativity to enter the picture even though a part of you wants to break free of the current restrictions. Stay true to yourself. The lessons best learned sometimes teach us that many things in life are not as we anticipate because we cannot see the whole picture. Once we see the whole picture, we may need to change our focus.

In a world where some are torn by adversity, some are lost in misjudgement and some are influenced by those that want to bring forth only fear, what can we do to maintain our own personal peace? How can we as humane individuals counteract these acts? You may ask yourself what is my part in this ongoing, traumatic invasion of peace? Amongst the turmoil, you can still rise above and allow love. You can still be the agent of peace. In your little corner of the world, start the ripple of good. It will prevail. You are the factor that can balance the scales but you can only do this in ways that offer kindness to those in need without adding to the opposite influence. To fight violence with violence only intensifies the reactions. You are not raising your hand in defeat when you respond in a more gentle manner. You are not giving in by standing your ground through acts of kindness and love. There are some amongst us whose temperament is to fight injustice through acts of aggression. There are those amongst us that will do what they feel is right to oppose and suppress violence even if that calls for violence, but this is not your part. You are one of the crusaders of peace, and the only way to truly bring about peace and tranquility is to be an example of it. You know what your part in this process is! Be that agent of peace through your own terms and become the agent of change that our bound world so needs.
