Why are we here? To what end is my part in my life’s journey? How many have asked these questions and how many come up short of a satisfying answer? Many of us have connections to the mystical side of life or at the very least most have inclinations towards mysticism and spirituality. Some have connections with their guides. Most practice meditation techniques and join groups with people of like-minded attitudes and viewpoints. We surround ourselves with healers, psychics and many others that bring their unique gifts to the table. We all have a magical element within us. As we begin to develop some of our talents, we reach out into different expressions of that particular art. Many read books on the best techniques to enhance their abilities. Timing is paramount. You cannot awaken a talent until the appropriate understanding is without our grasps. With this understanding, the practice of meditation can brings forth the opportune timing which enhances our arts of expression, the art of knowing and enhancing. Development does not happen simply because you feel you are ready. The work required to develop can be viewed as a test of faith and a learning of patience. Is this not a lesson we all need to learn? Understand and know that when the time is right, it WILL happen. So you might ask, “What are my special gifts?” You may think, “I am not psychic”, or let me rephrase this, “I do not believe that I am psychic”, “I do not believe that I am a healer”, “I do not know the tarot”, “I am not an Astrologer”. What is my purpose? Why am I here? The first step in awakening to your purpose or life’s path or destiny (call it what you will) is to believe that you have a purpose and that you are on purpose, always. You simply may not recognize this at this particular point in time. Life changes on a constant basis and your purpose slowly evolves as time passes. You usually do not suddenly wake up with a complete understanding of why you are here, although some do. Programming your dreams to reveal what current conditions in your life are trying to teach you is another method of learning, but in most cases the answers are simple and very subtle. Move one step at a time. Understanding that this is the process and as time will have it, the doors of perception begin to open-- once again one step at a time. Pay attention to serendipity. Events are never coincidence. The little things in life speak volumes but most times, we are so wrapped up in living that we do not recognize the messages we are given. It can take time to realize your purpose. Your life is not just a mix of events that serve no purpose. Be patient and understand this. Believe in yourself and know that even as you read this, you are on purpose and are exactly where you need to be right now. You are opening the door to understanding and beginning to comprehend. You are love. You are compassion. You are the messenger of this. Remind yourself of this and then share this simple knowledge. How is that for purpose? Stay open and listen. The answers are always quietly laid in front of you. Visit www.holmastrology.com for more information on Astrology and information on the Astrological charts we offer. Please “Like” us on Facebook.

Today we will take a look at the Moon’s position in the sign of Cancer. If the Moon is located in the fourth house, there will be some similarities to what we are about to write, as Cancer is the natural ruler of this house. The Moon defines our emotional needs and our instinctual reactions to life’s events. It does not deal with the mind but may be influenced by our belief structure or our mental outlook. The mind is ruled by Mercury and some with Mercury in Cancer will relate to some of these attributes as well. This is a very sensitive placement for the Moon although it is quite comfortable in this placement, as the Moon is ruled by the sign of Cancer. Sensitivity is the key word and many with this placement in their charts are ruled by their emotions. They feel intensely and have difficulty separating other people’s feelings from their own. This makes them very caring and nurturing to those in emotional need. It is part of their nature to care for others even when other people might not want their help. They are the nurtures of the Zodiac and have a compassion nature. Moon in Cancer individuals are sympathetic to other peoples’ plights. They are very mothering and often are over-protective of others, especially family members. They are always caring for other people’s emotional needs and must realize that their own emotional needs also have to be addressed. In general, their feelings can get away from them and dealing with hard emotional facts can either be a great strength or a powerful adversary. These individuals tend to give it their all when it comes to emotions and they feel their way through life, rather than intellectualizing their emotions. Many are psychic sponges picking up all of the little subtleties in their surroundings. Their instinct is strong and they often pick up what is going on in other people’s lives. It has been suggested that the psychic realms hold great interest with those with this placement. The moon is often in a water sign, a water house and/or there is a Grand Water Trine when the psychic inclinations run deep. Moon in Cancer is a prime example of this. Intuition also runs very deep and these individuals can usually rely on these feelings to guide them through life. The more challenging ramifications include over-sensitivity and emotional outbursts at the drop of a hat. Some become pessimistic and insecure during times of deep emotional interaction. These individuals need to find ways to use their emotional responses in a creative form. Being psychic, they can lend a hand and help others work through their more difficult life phases. They truly want to be of help and will find creative ways to be responsive to the needs of those around them. Some with this lunar position keep their sensitivity well hidden even though they are emotional sponges. Some become so wrapped up in their emotions and feel trapped within the emotions, they can become depressed and feel as though they are victims of their own sensitivity. It is best if they face their own sensitivities head on. Moon in Cancer individuals need to deal with their emotions rather than let them build and allowing these emotions to seemingly become monsters. It is simply a part of Moon in Cancer individuals’ nature to be emotional, and they can certainly use this ability to understand and assist those who want their help.

Are you on course? Are you anxious to move forward? Have you been making unconscious moves lately that seem to push you in directions that are a little off your intended course? You can categorize this as micro static, because if you look at the big picture, these minor interruptions or detours have really not swayed you too much. Once on course, it is very difficult for any outside interference to move you away from your intention. This is the beauty of our journey, regardless of intrusions and challenges for once we are determined to move forward, small detours will have little impact on the overall journey. Our reserve to expand is so integrated in our overall movement that little stands in our way and nothing holds us back for long. In a post last week, we touched on fear and its ramifications on our developing story. http://holmastrology.blogspot.ca/2015/01/fear-factor.html Lets revisit this concept on fear for a moment. Fear is a by-product of the ego. It is a non-essential ingredient and can be cast aside with simple faith in ourselves and faith in our journey. If it does not feel right then we simply do not identify with it. The choice is ours and ours alone. In most cases, these micro interferences that we experience from time to time are ego generated. The ego feels threatened and wants to retain its control, but our persistent efforts force the ego to relinquish control. This allows ego to find its proper place - being at our side to assist us along the road. Your place, your confirmed alignment with source, holds far greater power than any influence from interference could create on any level. There is literally no interference or obstructive force that can penetrate the will of source. Literally, nothing stands in the way. Step forth and be a conduit of compassion and love. Emerge from the dark waters of our past. Share the compassionate nature that radiates from within. You are love. Allow yourself to be.

Today, February 3, 2015, the full Moon is in Leo. At the same time, Mercury is in retrograde in Aquarius in opposition to the Moon for a few days into February (direct on the 8th). The Sun is always in opposition during full Moons and is in direct opposition when the Moon moves into the 13-14th degree. Transiting Jupiter will also be in conjunction at 18 degrees Leo with the Moon. Together, these influences can enhance this period, in particular if you also have planets in the 13-18 degree corresponding with Jupiter or 5-6 degree corresponding with retrograde Mercury. Full Moons are often linked with the conclusion of intentions that were set during the New Moon phase. The new Moon is considered a time to make things happen or to set into motion or make goals. It is believed by this Astrologer that the intention can be in place during that initial new moon phase and activated or set into action during the Full Moon. It is often linked to the feeling of reaching the end of a condition when the ideas come together and you can visualize the whole picture and instinctively know what the next steps should be to reach your goals. Mercury retrograde is also a time when you should be laying the foundation for something of importance down the road. The two will interact with each other and with Jupiter attached to the equation, the ability of reaching these objectives and promoting something worth-while is enhanced. The cause could be humanitarian in some way (Mercury and Sun in Aquarius), reaching out to the masses, or it could include something that you feel would be very important to you (Moon and Jupiter in Leo). The overall impact should affect you personally and come from the heart but should also be directed outward in an expression to those around you. In your Natal chart, refer to the houses that transiting Mercury, transiting Moon and transiting Jupiter are in for further definition. You should also look at the placement of your natal Moon by house and sign placement to make the picture a little more clear. During this full Moon phase, you will instinctively know which path to take and you now have the ability to take that next step towards reaching that objective. It is time to act and promote your ideas, especially once Mercury moves out of retrograde on the 8th of February. Look for a philosophical truths to follow and align with a set goal that will facilitate such growth. Outline for yourself what you can do to bring this idea into fruition. If you have outer natal planets in the 5-6 degree as well as the 13-18 degree, the transformations unfolding could be internal and very significant, as well as long lasting. The Full moon happens every month but this one is particularly strong because of the links to Mercury retrograde and Jupiter. You should not expect the experience to be life altering or even outwardly significant, however. The effect is very subtle but as time passes, things become more apparent as you link up with your intentions in the future. Your life’s path in some unique cases has the potential to unfold especially if connected to the Moon’s Nodes and even with Pluto and linked by conjunction. Pay particular attention to this short time frame and set goals into action. Watch as these goals materialize on some level down the road. Life is filled with opportunities and this time frame is one of them. Look inwardly for some guidance but to outside influences and external guidance, as both areas of life are highlighted.

Do you want to reach a state where life’s challenges are understood to be simply testing grounds to confirm that you have reached peace and tranquility? Do you feel as though you have ventured off path and are having difficulty finding your true path again? What can you do to final peace and tranquility? These states of peace and tranquility never suddenly appear. These states are not something that you can search out and find. For most, these are states of existence that materialize over time through a change of attitude and focus and normally these slowly manifests. They will not be found outside of ourselves through a loving relationship or through the perfect profession or even from a guide who appears to have all the answers. No one can take you to these states of attitude. You can meditate, practice self-sacrifice and walk the humble path, but inner peace is not found in any of these practices. Neither people nor things will magically create this state that many long for. Inner peace is a state that radiate from within. It is part of the process of living and growing. The peace that we seek it not found in any of the above manifestations, but this goal and way of living is actually the glimmer of inner peace. Being humble, compassionate and filled with love are the outer edges of inner peace. Having faith and openly accepting life and its lessons nurtures inner peace and allow is to bloom and flourish. Struggles, non-acceptance, stress, frustration, anger are the clouds that block the light of inner peace. Allow the winds of faith to remove these storm clouds. All the wonders and beauty of life are reflections of inner peace. Inner peace, no matter how turbulent our current conditions in life, is simply a change of attitude towards these conditions, an allowance of faith that all conditions in life are lessons for growth and that our pure essence will guide and mold us into the best that we can be. We are capable of learning and expanding from each and every one of these lessons. As we allow inner peace, we feel a deep love and compassion towards our outer world. Happiness is an offshoot to this unfolding. Inner peace is within your grasp. You are love. Allow your true essence to thrive. Have faith that you are guided and that you are protected. You have nothing to fear. Yes; life will teach you difficult lessons but these are in place to allow you to grow. Accept (do not judge or control), have faith, let go of worry and stress, be content, enjoy and live within each moment, see the beauty and the good in ALL people and things.....these are the ingredients for inner peace.

As we delve deeper into our mystical pursuit, we discover new truths as they unravel. These gradually intensify and deepen with time and commitment. During meditation, we unlock these channels and perception increases as does are our alignment with source. It is an ongoing venture. We gather momentum for change and growth as our knowledge expands, knowledge that at one time was not forefront in our lives. In the past, we may have been caught up in the crossfire of material living. We moved from pure innocent spirit at birth into a disfigured form of illusion as we became more aware of our material world around us. This illusion was also a tool for learning but learning to adjust to this material world. As we mature, most of us have an inclination that there is more to this existence that our material focus. Some know that there were other dimensions and alternate realities that are far more significant than the current one we living in, but also understand the relevance of living in this current environment. Many have belief structures that are simply focused on everyday living and the struggle to survive in the material world. Some became obsessed with the gathering of material things and financial hoarding. Once consumed by this reality, it is difficult to see beyond this preoccupation. The focus on collecting causes a longing for more and more. We are under the illusion that by gathering things we could facilitate a sense of fulfillment and a longing for happiness that we so needed. After spending wasted years wrapped up in material gathering, the lack of fulfillment aids us to embark on a new journey. This is a journey of self-discovery and awareness as we understand that there is something beyond this tedious repetition. The gathering of material abundance no longer provides happiness, for the happiness and fulfillment, if at all, was short lived. This is when the search for a deeper meaning to life can begin. Some explore traditional religion, spirituality, mysticism......our intuition becomes stronger and it pushes us forward into new and exciting realms. Yesterday’s truths no longer fulfill our internal needs and the material world began to lose its stronghold. As we slowly realize this new truth and open to its potential, we are enticed to continue. We somehow appreciate that this line of expression and understanding prevails over anything from our past. It is new yet comfortable. It is as though we know this understanding instinctually. It fits perfectly and we began to sense a new order of things that far outdoes anything of significance previously. A forgotten truth is emerging and our footprints are imbedded within its framework. As time passes, we no longer recognize past obsessions as part of our reality. There is no reason to look back but if we did we would find just how far removed that once encompassing reality is from our present focus. Letting go and moving into the unknown can be unsettling. We can resist initially but the need for peace and fulfillment pushes us to abandon our fears. We are now forever transformed.

We are going to take a look at what is called the beginning mid-life turning point at ages 38-44. This is a turning point when we grow from early adulthood personality into a more evolving personality--reconciling and developing into a personality with which we are more comfortable. This is a time when we are restructuring ourselves on a more profound level. A sense of individualization is starting to shine through due to the major influences taking place in our lives. We are experiencing transiting Saturn in trine to its natal position and Neptune in square to its natal position. These signify inner transformations and a realistic approach to who we truly are. There may even be a feeling of urgency with our quest at this point in our lives. Our ego and the ongoing search for “who am I?” are undergoing alterations in our consciousness, for those individuals that feel they need answers. There are neither formal guidelines nor a book called “Mid-life Crises 101”. No one can say they are prepared, particularly because no one knows exactly what to expect. Each individual goes through their own personal challenges and then an awakening takes place. This is a time of great soul searching and a desire for inner change which often coincides with outer change, as one seems to affect the other. The body is also undergoing physical changes during this time in our lives, and those who have placed too much attention on physical appearance may become depressed with what they see in the mirror. Many will now go deep within to find out what they actually have to offer, as the appearance has been held in an elevated position most of their lives. The ego is actually in a somewhat delicate state, as the inner self gains supremacy and control, at least for those who are searching for something more. This is often considered a turning point as we truly begin to question who we are and relentessly want answers. Many turn to deeper subjects such as astrology and the mystical side of life, furthering their pursuit and hoping to find answers to some truly profound questions. This is an awakening stage as many who have been wrapped up in the material world now somehow come up feeling empty and want greater meaning to their lives. Doors that have been locked are now beginning to open and a deep restlessness is awakening within. The search continues and those longing for answers begin to question their existence. They open the channels from within and make more intimate contact with the inner self. The process has begun. We raise our consciousness and continue on with our mission. At age 42, we are also experiencing the Uranus opposition with itself. This intensifies the search and often we reach for something new to bring to the forefront of life. Some reach out radical solutions and this is when people become bored with life and want something that is exciting and exhilarating. There is a bit of an eccentric flavour bursting within our personality. Many find this newly found personality which is developing within reaching out to find satisfaction beyond the normal material confines of life. Their outlook becomes a bit erratic and different. These life expressions are sprung on us and we make untimely changes that will affect those around us. This is often quite disruptive for family members that are accustom to life being steady, solid and secure. Some leave their marriage partners and start a new life. In many cases, the change is sudden and comes without much warning. For those that have not yet experienced this life event, you should be ready for change and transformation as this is a very intense period. Be ready for disruption in all that if normal. You will welcome change and that which is new. Visit www.holmastrology.com/astrology-reports for more information on Astrology and information on the Astrological charts offered.

As we venture deep within, the mind begins to shift from the reality of physical and material living into the fields of mystical and spiritual insight. This is known as the awakening phase and creates a clearer connection with source. It is our birth right to capture this connection and experience it to the fullest; however, there is one small detail that has to be recognized and controlled....and that would be the relentless struggle of the ego. The ego can be an unyielding force that has to be put into its appropriate place and used in a positive manner to gain insight and clarity. The ego’s true purpose is to assist us, not interfere with our journey. As we move through our evolving story of spiritual awakening, there are times when fear stands in the way of progress. Fear holds us back and presents us with obstacles and challenges that distort our true consciousness. Some of us allow fear to grow as we open up to the forces inherent in our unfolding evolution. Hollywood has planted the seeds of demons or outside influences that threaten to pierce our armour of light and love. If allowed to flourish, fear can halt us in our tracks. Some fear encounters of beings along their path which might threaten their otherwise pure journey. It is essence to confront this fear head on. Are you not on a spiritual journey? Do you have faith? Are you in the hands of God? What are your motives for making this journey? Do you question your own motives? If you conclude that your ongoing awakening is pure in spirit and you are working from beyond the ego’s interference, then you need to ask yourself if the powers that be, the God force around us, the pure essence we strive to return to, would permit any dark interference. Would a spiritual being allow harm to take place? Would pure essence not protect you from such forces, if they were to exist? Because you are on this quest for love, enlightenment and joining in oneness with the source of this expression, you are protected. Nothing can penetrate this barrier and infiltrate your beingness. You are protected by the greatest source of all. The distorted ego understands that it is losing control and fears this. Because of this instinctual reaction, it uses whatever means it has to get the control back. Fear is the ultimate weapon. The controlled ego is actually a wonderful companion. It can guide you through self-doubt and strengthen your resolve in the face of any adversity once it regains its rightful place. Ego’s controlling fear has been fed by Hollywood and its man-made fictional characters. These concepts are foreign to our actual process of finding our alignment with the one within, with the rejoining once again with our source and the light. Let go of the fear that holds you back and know that you are protected by your source. Negative elements in life are not real in the sense that they hold little relevance in our ongoing journey. They have no stronghold on you and the only thing you need to fear is fear itself. You are held within the grasp of holiness and love. Peace is yours if you have conviction in that which you trust.

The difference between the Sun sign and the Rising sign is that the rising sign defines how we express ourselves to the outside world and our reaction to life events as seen by others; whereas the sun sign defines our inner most self which those that do not know us would not see. An individual may have their Sun sign in Aquarius but may have an extreme influence from another sign. For example this Sun in Aquarius individual may have a Taurus rising sign with several planets in the second house, which is ruled by Taurus. This individual would express themselves with strong Taurus tendencies, although the Aquarius overtones would still be present but much more subdued. An individual with a Sun sign in Aquarius and other links in the same sign or in the eleventh house would be considered somewhat of a bohemian, an eccentric and perhaps even odd in comparison to someone with a strong link to Taurus. Whereas, the Taurus tendency individual would not be as freedom motivated and would prefer stability in life, such as having a secure foundation to live within. This person would be more reliable, consistent and would be security oriented. The Taurus tendency individual would seek a profession that would provide this and would support the need for financial security. Someone with a strong Aquarius emphasis in their chart would be more inclined to reach out into uncomfortable areas where the need for evolution and knowledge would far outweigh financial security. They would have their heads in the clouds and would be considered by those that are able to digest their complex nature as being ahead of their time. Their ideas might seem far-fetched and future oriented. They would be the bearers of knowledge that might be unattainable for many and difficult to digest. They would be willing to share their ideologies with anyone willing to listen. The strong Taurus individual would prefer to be more down to earth and would digest information on a different level and probably keep a lot of what they would have learned contained within. This information would be only available to the selected few. The Taurus individual would be quite comfortable within the confines of their home and would be slower at digesting information although they would probably hang on to this knowledge and understand it on a deeper level. Aquarius individuals are group oriented and enjoy the company of likeminded individuals, while the Taurus individual may be more of a loner, although many Aquarius people are loners as well but in their own way. The Taurus individual would be a little less comfortable sharing their ideas which would be based on a much more solid foundation and would have more merit to the average individual than the lofty ideals that the Aquarius individual might possess. Aquarius individuals know they are unique and do not mind being thought of in this manner. They are intellectuals and freedom seekers and their wish is to dissect pertinent information and then spread this knowledge to the world around them. Their astrological symbol of the Man pouring water out of a pitcher, spreading his wisdom to the masses clearly tells this story. Aquarius wants to shake our foundations and make us look close at our objectives in life, ever reaching for higher ground and establishing ourselves as unique individuals. The Aquarian wants humanity to climb the mountain of life, released from the burden of material and obstructive living. They are known as the awakeners and strive to create a new found freedom which will release us from the bounds of habitual thoughts that stagnates growth. This Aquarius Sun, Taurus Rising individual would have a push and pull conflict on occasion due to the varied qualities of the two signs.

Do you find yourself struggling with life matters that just do not seem to want to go away? Are you feeling ill or unhappy? Do you tend to worry excessively? These are all symptoms of mental or emotional blockages. With these issues in life, we either fail to recognize them or we try to ignore them with the hope that they will go away. Your external or material world is a mirror image of what is taking place internally. When you find that life presents you with continual conditions that seem to hinder or challenge you, it is suggested that you have an honest look at what is happening internally. Most likely you will have to make internal changes that will reverberate into your material world. Immediately upon making internal changes, your material world will begin to change. It can be difficult to accept that the challenges we are facing actually originate from within. With so many external events that occur out of our control, we fail to take responsibility for our lives. Change can be difficult but sometimes it is the only solution that can release us from life’s sometimes challenging conditions. More often than not, the change required is simply a change of how we are looking at situations. Remember, that all that we need in this life is at our disposal. All ingredients needed to promote these changes that are necessary are available. These changes are often a requirement that will help us move forward in our chosen direction. These changes will assist us in overcoming or meeting any dilemma head on. These challenges can be referred to as blockages to our growth if we do not meet them head on. With periodic reviews of our journey, we can recognize even the most minute hurdles along our journey. View them objectively. If they are left in place, what potential do they create in our future? These so called blockages if left to grow can eventually manifest as illnesses and physical conditions such as headaches, muscle tightness and even minor or major mental confusion. Choose whether to leave them in place or to tear them down. You may decide to continue along the same path, after tearing down the blockage, or you may not appreciate the challenge and choose not to push ahead, venturing off onto a new path. Sometimes the hurdles seem as though they are there for a reason and in most cases they are. Acknowledge them and be open. Many times dialogue or events will magically happen around us that will spark a solution for tearing down our hurdles. We have to ask ourselves if there is something that we can do within to facilitate the transformation that needs to come out into the open. Attitude is often the greatest catalyst for change. Changes to our attitude or belief structures will often produce a release of tension that has built up over time. If the challenge seems to resonate from outside in your material world, it means that the issue has had time to build and is now present through manifestation. We have to look at the issue, whatever it may be, and purposely and honestly look at what we can do to help alleviate the challenge. Change is often difficult, yet challenges in life need to be addressed. Our focus sometimes needs to shift from what we do not have to the recognition of what we actually do have. We may also have to come to terms with conditions in our lives and then take the appropriate action to challenge the conditions in order to eventually remove them from our lives. We all deserve to be happy. Our lives are meant to expand and teach us through its events. We may have to come to terms with what life is trying to teach us and then do what must be done. Never give in to life’s conditions. Stay strong and understand that we are resilient enough to challenge and conquer any circumstance. We cannot be too hard on ourselves and accept that we will get over each hurdle if we choose to continue on this given path. Life will provide us with what is required to get to the next level. We must have faith in our life’s course and know that we are where we need to be, always.
