WHAT IS TO COME As far as world politics are concerned, it can be unsettling as to what the immediate future may hold. Many have expressed concerns that wars will escalate, that innocent people are dying in these conflicts, that the world order is questionable and that our future is uncertain. This does not mean that we are getting ready for a greater conflict as many leaders realize that no one wins in any major conflict. Would further escalation bring forth real resolution? On a personal basis, some feel the future is uncertain and the path ahead looks rather murky while others feel the path forward is quite clear and what lies ahead is much more favorable than where we have been in the recent past. The importance of our predictions for the future is far less important than this current moment. Our enjoyment of the moment rests firmly with our focus regardless of which direction life may turn. Our focus and attitude create anxiety and worry if that is where our focus lies. Our focus and attitude can create promise and appreciation if that is where our focus lies. With both focuses, the events are the same. It is the way we look at them and whether we live in the moment that determines our personal experience. The current moment is all we have guaranteed. We can live within this moment or explore in our imagination possibilities that might never surface for the future. That is allowing worry to live in your head without paying rent. Do you look to the future or do you live in the moment? If you look to the future, what do you see there for yourself? Answering this question will most certainly allow you to take note of where your head/focus is and what you might want to do with that. One step at a time. One moment at a time. One situation at a time. The tools you need for this moment are in your hands. One way or another we make the decision of how we will respond to what is to come. We choose where we put our focus. We alone decide our attitude and our approach to anything life sends our way.

Natal and Transiting Neptune The Astrological birth chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment of birth. This natal snapshot never changes. The Natal or birth placement of Neptune can operate on several different levels. Much will depend on the sign it is in and the house placement along with the aspects connected to Neptune from other planets and angles within the birth chart. All of these details are crucial in determining how Neptune will play out in your personal astrology chart. Because there are so many variations of what Neptune might look like in your chart, we cannot clearly define exactly how Neptune will work. However, we will focus on the properties of Neptune in the birth chart. We will also take a look at the integrated energies it will create while it transits through the Natal chart. (Again, the natal planets never change in our birth chart, but the planets continue moving and once the snapshot of the heavens has been taken and the position of the planets noted for our birth chart, the planets continue to move. The moving planets are then called transiting planets.) Neptune’s placement by sign and house is an area of potential psychic awareness. The intuitive qualities of an individual is exhibited in Neptune’s location in the Astrology birth chart. Although not always clearly defined, its potent energies are still functioning in the specific area of life, defined by Neptune’s house position. Neptune can be spiritual, enlightening, psychic and in many cases service oriented. Neptune when challenged in the birth chart can be illusionary, vague in its expression, perhaps careless in its action and uncertain about the road ahead. When very poorly aspects, Neptune can lead to mental health concerns especially if poorly connected to the planet Mercury. Because Neptune is so sensitive to outside conditions, a poor aspect can lead to hospitalizations and mental breakdowns. However, this is in extreme cases, and a further delineation of the full chart must be conducted before coming to a conclusion. Neptune remains in each sign approximately 14 years, so a whole generation will be affected by its subtle yet powerful influence. Wherever Neptune resides in the birth chart, it is often wise to have other people’s input when questioning what is illusion and what is reality, although these particular individuals would have to be proven trustworthy to you. Reality checks are essential when dealing with Neptune’s energies. Neptune in transit will affect any given planet or significant angle, particularly the Ascendant and Midheaven for up to two to three years, depending on its location and also its retrograde cycle. Transiting Neptune can be insightful, magical, enlightening, spiritual and all encompassing, or when challenged can lead to disillusionment, vagueness, apprehension or situations which are unclear and troubling because you may not be able to integrate what is taking hold in life for some reason. This is when you may want to ask for assistance either professionally or from a trusted friend, as without clarity it can lead to hazardous situations. What you see and feel should be scrutinized and validated. When we are experiencing a transit from Neptune, we can gain insight through meditation, group therapy or discussion and visualization techniques. Dreams may be very revealing and provide reliable guidance if we can interpret them clearly. Neptune’s energies are magical and enlightening. Use these energies when appropriate to gain insight into other realms and connect with higher sources. Natal Neptune represents your imagination, dreams and spirituality whereas transiting Neptune can dismiss old structures and stimulate creativity and intuition.

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE The first thing that comes to mind when we hear “Celebration of Life” is that someone has died and now we get-together to celebrate who they were and what they achieved in this life. It is rather unfortunate that we do not celebrate life before it comes to an end. Why do we have to wait for people to pass over to celebrate? Would it not be more appropriate to celebrate life by living? Perhaps, we can celebrate life in each and every moment. Let’s recognize what we have and what we experience regularly. Life could be so much worse. Look around you, both close to home and on the world stage. We have countless reasons to celebrate. Do not let those that want to divide us steal our peace. There can be too much stress and anxiety if we focus on all the hostility, critical discourse, and derogatory statements. Scroll by the insults and divisiveness. The first step is to create peace by starting in your own little corner of the world. Those in positions of power must find ways to create widespread peace, not through violence and war but through caring and compassion. If we all worked together, we could create a positive, peaceful place for all to live. It takes more than money but the wealthy can help. It takes an attitude of equality and effort, no matter who we are. Even in our close relationships, do not let those that are unhappy or focused in the wrong areas of their life steal your peace. Remind yourself where those comments and actions are generated. There is an answer, but this answer begins with you. Your efforts are not inconsequential. We can help one another. Let’s walk together rather than focusing on our differences and divisive messages. Focus is our primary tool. Use it wisely. Focus on a celebration of life. #astrology #HolmAstrology #BarrieAstrologer #OntarioAstrologer #Astrologer #lifelessons #spirituality #themoment #spiritualjourney #schooloflife #lifedecisions #celebrate #positivefocus #response #selfcare #newblogpost Are you interested in learning Astrology?

Neptune is a mysterious planet, ruling the sign Pisces. Neptune is very subtle in its nature and is known as the planet of illusion, inspiration and psychic perception. Those with a strong Neptune in their birth chart often have mystical inclinations and psychic abilities. Neptune also has an ability to deceive and colour reality placing rose coloured glasses on many individuals when in transit. Neptune Neptune is a mysterious planet, ruling the sign Pisces. Neptune is very subtle in its nature and is known as the planet of illusion, inspiration and psychic perception. Those with a strong Neptune in their birth chart often have mystical inclinations and psychic abilities. Neptune also has an ability to deceive and colour reality placing rose coloured glasses on many individuals when in transit. Neptune also has to do with artistic abilities and inspirational writing. It has to do with musical talent and many with strong Neptune inclinations make great actors, as they are able to take on parts loosing themselves within the part that they are portraying. Neptune also rules mystery and many a mystery novel has been written through the influence of Neptune’s imaginary insight. There are the unfortunate ones who indulge in drugs and alcohol in an attempt to withdraw from some of life’s more challenging moments and during these times, Neptune is often found playing havoc in their lives. The twelfth house is the natural ruler of Pisces and Neptune is also connected with this house. The twelfth house has to do with places of confinement and often deals with institutions such as hospitals and even asylums. The twelfth house is known as the dustbin of the zodiac, and this is often the place where we cover up life’s tumultuous conditions with the hopes that in some way they will disappear and this type of action is often facilitated through the influence of Neptune. Dreams and dream psychology are also areas ruled by Neptune and someone with strong Pisces or a number of planets in aspect to Neptune can become so inclined and able to decipher the meanings behind our dreams. Although Neptune through transit often colours the way we are viewing current circumstances, it also provides us with hidden or subdued talents. Through the use of an often overextending perception, abilities can produce psychic understanding about events that we normally are not able to penetrate. Be careful to view your world clearly when Neptune passes over important points in your birth chart. Putting people on pedestals and viewing life through rose coloured glasses is often an offshoot during these unbridled times when Neptune plays games with reality. Neptune also rules doctors, psychiatrists and anyone who goes below the surface of everyday life. If you can find a way to use the penetrating abilities that Neptune offers, you can see through illusion and find the answers that might have been hidden or laid dormant for extended periods of time. Using your intuitive understanding and being open to dialogue from other sources beyond the realms of earth and material living will help you find places that you might not have known existed. Meditation techniques and mystical alignments are key ingredients to unlocking the true potential of Neptune’s deeper side and unlocking channels to the psychic connection we all share. Natal and Transiting Neptune Astrology 101 Neptune is the planet to illusion, inspiration and psychic perception. It is the ruler of Pisces and is associated with the twelfth house The Sun The Moon Mercury Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Pluto

Pluto Pluto, the powerful planet of transformation and regeneration, holds a very significant energy in any chart. It is an extremely dominant planet and when activated through progression or transit, it is best to let things happen as they will. Any type of resistance to Pluto's energy is futile. Pluto is the ruling planet of Scorpio and speaks of death and regeneration sometimes literally, but usually Pluto works beneath the surface bringing about long overdue change to life. Before these transformations can take place, however, there is usually a period of deep reflection and the shedding of unwanted and unnecessary elements in our lives. Pluto’s action is to break down structures that have taken hold in our lives that now hinder our evolutionary growth. Its actions are finite in the sense that whatever structure that has been built previously will be torn down and replaced with a new structure that is much sounder. To put up resistance to the required changes that Pluto insists are necessary, usually brings about a much more violent and aggressive change to take place than if you were to let go and allow yourself to remain open to the eventual change that will happen regardless. Pluto represents decay on some level or another and is often evident in times of accidents along with Mars and often suggests actual death of an individual or circumstance. If Pluto is strongly placed in your chart, you are the type of individual who seeks transformation on many levels and wants control of your environment. You may be the instigator of required change for others. You may also engage in power struggles throughout your life, and life may also force change on you. People with their Sun in Scorpio , many planetary aspects linked to Pluto, an emphasis of planets in the eighth house or Pluto as the Ruler in their chart will be under the influence of Pluto’s powerful energies throughout their life and particularly when transits and progressions become linked to Pluto in the natal chart Astrology 101 Natal and Transiting Pluto Pluto is the "planet" of transformation and regeneration. Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio and is associated with the eighth house . In astrology we still refer to Pluto as a planet even though NASA has downgraded it to a dwarf planet.

THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE COME BACK REGULARLY TO SEE UPDATES Natal and Transiting Planets The birth or natal chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment of birth with the earth in the centre. This natal snapshot of the planets never changes. The Natal chart represents our potential and tells the story of what can be expected when transiting planets hit the positions in our birth chart. Once the snapshot of the heavens has been taken and the position of the planets noted for our birth chart, the transit of the planets begin. The transiting planets are the actual planets and their placement as they travel through the chart in real time. When transiting planets touch (make aspects to) the natal planets and angles in our chart, they create temporary energies that will affect our life. The transiting planets activate the potential suggested within the natal chart. The outer planets are slow moving and make contact to our natal planets and angles for much longer periods of time; therefore, creating major, possibly life altering changes. The inner planets, however, move much faster and their influence can be fleeting. Natal and Transiting Neptune Natal and Transiting Pluto
