The Progressed Moon is often used as a timer and often propels transits into action. The Progressed Moon alone without transits’ influence governs such things as the emotions, property and security matters. It is often associated with women in your life, such as your mother, grandmother or aunt. It often relates to young women who already have children. It also activates other progressed planets in the same fashion as it facilitates action in transiting planets. The Progressed Moon moves one degree per month and will stay in a sign for approximately 2 ½ years. It will carry the traits associated with that sign for that whole period. The Progressed Moon can stay in a house for a very long time depending on the size of the house concerned. It will also carry the tendencies related to the house in question and the area of life the house represents. When the Progressed Moon moves from one sign to the next or from one house to the next, a shift occurs that is often quite noticeable. When the Progressed Moon crosses over the Ascendant (and this along with the MC is a very sensitive point in the chart), it is often a time of many changes in your life. These changes often relate to family members, important relationships and particularly to women in your life. There may also be changes to your career especially when it crosses the MC. Quite often changes within the home front occur when the Progressed Moon links up with the fourth house cusp or the ruler of the fourth house. Many things in life become more sensitive when the Progressed Moon passes over the Ascendant and in most cases, others are aware of these transformations taking place as the Ascendant is not a very private area of life. The emotions are strong and on the surface for the world to see. Depending on other aspects to this placement, these could come from positive or negative influences in your life. When the Progressed Moon is in the twelfth house, many aspects of your life may have been hidden or kept secret and now when it moves over the Ascendant these issues may surface. It is very difficult to keep things hidden from public knowledge although you may not mind exposing them. People become more upfront and open to dialogue when the Moon moves across this sensitive point, although much depends on the sign on the cusp. Some signs are much more private than other signs. This is often a time when you can get things off your chest that has been emotionally draining or restrictive in some way. The best approach to this would be to face any emotional issue up front and deal with it accordingly. You may have opportunities to release any pent up emotion that has been left on the back burner. Depending on the other aspects that are influential during this period, any release might come into the open in rather dramatic ways. Find out how the Progressed Moon is affecting your life by having a closer look at its positioning in your chart along with any other transits or progressions that are affecting various areas of life. Get an astrologic perception of how best to deal with the conditions brought on by your current transits and progression.

It can be disheartening when you hear via news the state of our world. “Chaotic” best describes the conditions our fellow brothers and sisters seem to find themselves in. There are those that live under unruly conditions, fearing for their lives and struggling to exist just another day. During transitional periods, the darkest hour is often just before the dawn. We are all feeling a shift taking place in our world and if you delve deep enough are we not all also experiencing a shift deep down within? Many believe that the signs are suggesting that the human race must choose in which direction to turn, whether this is towards materialism or spirituality. How long have you been aware of this feeling? If the door has been opened, it is next to impossible to avoid what lies ahead. It does not take long to realize that material abundance only brings contentment for a fleeting moment; however, it can be yours if this is your desire. Wealth is not necessarily a bad thing but its rewards are temporary and offer little in the way of true growth. It is not necessary to let go of earthly comforts, but it is best to not make it your most important focus. Letting go is often the best way to find material security, although it is a difficult thing to do. Let go and let God, (or the source or your pure essence or whomever or whatever you relate to take care of things), is the saying. How appropriate this is. If you trust in the powers that be to provide you with whatever you need and understand that this is what always takes place, contentment is yours. Spirituality, whatever this might be for you, is the zenith. Trust in the powers that be to push you in the direction that you need to move. Let go and you will see that it is right in front of you. This is where it has been all along. It has never been out of sight. We simply just had to open our eyes. We live in this material world but have many connections to the spiritual world. We need to be aware of where to place our intensions and accept that life unfolds in its own due time. We are on course and always have been, although along the road there were some roadblocks and swerves but these are lessons well learned. We are still on our chosen course. If we are on our chosen paths then undoubtedly the world is also on its true course. Through our prayers and meditation practice, however, we can help lift its vibrational impulse. We are the generator behind our races’ movement. What we do in our lives affects everyone on one level or another. The ripple effect that we have often explored is a prime example of this effect. We can help maneuver our world, by being the force behind that ripple effect. Share the love that lives within. Spread joy in your daily activities. It begins with you. You create the ripple effect. Why not do what is in your power.

By mid-October of this year, Jupiter will be around 18 degrees Leo. If you have the Sun in Leo or Mid-heaven (between 17-23degrees) in Leo, this post will apply to you. Jupiter goes retrograde on December 8 and continues to remain in retrograde into the New Year. It goes as far back as 12 degrees Leo into April of 2015 and then goes direct on April 8. You will feel its influence from October, 2014 to February, 2015 and then again in June and July of 2015. As Jupiter crosses the exact point of the MC or Sun in your chart, (allow about a 2-3 degree orb of influence) it is often felt as a magnificent period when the culmination of all your efforts seems to come to the forefront. What you are trying to accomplish in your profession often gets recognition if this point is your MC. Your life generally feels good and you have relatively good health if it conjuncts your Sun. You must also take into consideration if there are other mitigating circumstances in your chart such as other transiting planets as well as the overall condition of your natal Jupiter. Often the placement of your natal Jupiter will also be energized and things work well in this area of life. Many things in your life during the stated time period have the opportunity to work well for you as you are beginning a new 12 year cycle if Jupiter conjuncts your Sun and it will also take 12 years before it reaches your MC again. You may perceive life in a much broader perspective with more understanding and revelations that would not normally be apparent to you. If Jupiter conjuncts your MC, you can expect more freedom of expression in the working environment and the potential for being successful is highlighted. You may have more opportunities than previous to this conjunction, as this is a time of expansion. If you are self-employed and Jupiter conjuncts your MC, this could be a good time to plan for expansions within your business. Just watch for expanding beyond your limits as this period will promote success on a wider scale than it will when this transit has passed. If you are in search of financial increases and you tend to overspend during this time, then when this transit is over, your financial situation might not be a positive one. This is often a time of study and in some cases an expansion of consciousness. Some with this aspect will go back to school and extend their schooling into areas that will increase their earning potential down the road. Activities generally broaden and opportunities for travel or meeting people from foreign lands are also possible during this time frame. Any feelings you might have now concerning your own well-being are much more on target than any former beliefs you may have had. If Jupiter conjuncts your Sun, this is often a time when these things affect influential male members in your immediate surroundings, especially the Father or your mate. Take advantage of this time period and enjoy the rewards for all your hard work and seek to make things better in your life. Now is the time to make important plans for the future and move gently forward with optimism for new found freedom and potential new beginnings.

It is amazing how the mind has the ability to bring forth visual memories. What are the limitations of our mind’s recall? Is it possible through meditation to draw upon memories from past incarnations? Do we have the tools available, and if so, what does it take to utilize them? It is believed that we can have access to our past lives especially if we have important questions about matters that may be affecting us in our current incarnation. If we have recurrent difficulties that require an action on our part to create internal or external changes in our lives, does it not make sense that we have the ability to relinquish these issues through an understanding from the past? Do we come into this life with difficulties or trying circumstances that cannot be healed or adjusted to a point that the lessons facilitate growth? If the burden that we must adjust to is exceptionally large, would the lesson not produce exceptional growth? It is thought that we come into this life with all of the required tools to conquer any challenges that come our way. It is important, however, to understand that not all challenges are meant to end. Sometimes the lesson is to change our way of looking at things. A change in our perspective also changes the affects of a challenge. We have what it takes to change anything that we choose to change or alter so that it assists us, instead of placing obstacles in our path. Some things that seems to come from another source but has been with you from early in life may come from inborn conditions brought on by previous life incarnations or important soul growth. Karma has its place in our lives and although many think of Karma in terms of what we have to work on in this life, it should also be thought of as gifts that we have brought with us to use to our advantage. Karma has many avenues of expression and all the ingredients linked to Karma carry with them alternative methods for healing on any level. They are not ingrained dilemmas that are here to infiltrate our sub-conscious and render us helpless to their influence. They are ingrained hidden strengths that we can draw upon when required and to be used to our advantage and to build on our character traits that may lie dormant within. Karma is a tool brought forward to encourage growth on many levels and is a gift we have provided our immediate selves with in order to facilitate inspiration and keep us on our course of enlightenment. During meditation, use your intuitive perception to being forth the memories of previous lifetimes. Utilize this information to assist your journey. Practice will bring success. Life unfolds at the appropriate moments and always on time and on schedule.

What does it take to reach the state of purity of spirit--to be whole, complete and needing nothing more? What steps need to be taken in order to achieve this state of being? How can one achieve this and what constitutes purity? Most of our readers and friends are on the path to enlightenment. We will undoubtedly, at points in our journey, come face to face with adverse qualities within self. Facing these qualities can be a difficult but also a rewarding experience. We were born perfect spirits, but many of us lose this focus due to challenging conditions and becoming too focused on the material world. At times, we even lose faith with our journey and with who we truly are. Self-reflection is not always a pleasant experience, but it is an important exercise. The true you does not consist of attributes that feel wrong. Your unwanted traits are not you. They are only habits that you have allowed to develop. Unfortunately, most of us accept traits and actions as part of the self and we hold them close as though we own them. We seldom challenge these habits and we simply give them life through complacency and acceptance. You choose who and what you are through your belief structures. We allow events and traits to shape our beliefs of ourselves and our surroundings. It is actually quite simple to render these qualities obsolete. Do not identify unwanted characteristics with self. If they are not part of you, they are not you. Do not accept them as part of who you truly are. They only exist because you manifest them into being. By accepting these qualities, you have inadvertently stagnated your own expansion and stifled the “allowance” of who you truly are. Your spirit is pure and your spirit is part of the pure essence. Your spiritual being is the real you and it holds not one undesirable quality. Meditate on allowing yourself to be who you truly are. Believe that this is who you have always been without worldly interference--absolutely nothing less. Rid yourself of those unwanted character traits by acknowledging that they are not part of the true you and they will no longer find solace within your being. Your essence is perfection. Allow your essence to guide your journey. Give yourself permission to be. Purity of spirit is alive and lives within each of us.......waiting to be released. Bask in your own true identity.

The Sun, whether it is the natal or progressed Sun, has to do with your vitality, your energy and your ability to recuperate. It also deals with the ego and governs the success one is able to attain in life and your ambitions. The Sun is also representative of the Father and other male authority figures prominent in your life. The progressed Sun moves one degree per year and over a period of a lifetime will not move too far from its original position at birth. It will make semi-sextile to the natal Sun at 30, semi-square at 45 and sextile at 60 and for those lucky enough to live into their 90’s, they will experience the square at age 90. The Sun will, however, also make many aspects throughout your lifetime to other planetary placements in the Birth chart, including the Ascendant. In order for it to reach the Ascendant, the Natal Sun will need to be within 90 degrees of the Ascendant (11th -12th house) to make any connections to this very significant place. The effects of the Progressed Sun on your Ascendant will cover over a three year period and the middle year is the most significant as this will be when it becomes direct or 0 degrees in separation to this placement. This conjunction can produce both negative and challenging conditions and can also suggest positive or reinforcing life conditions that will aid you in moving forward in life. This is partly due to the transits that will make contact to this placement over this period of time as well. In a positive sense when this conjunction occurs, there are often potential opportunities for advancement in your profession. At times, people in authorative positions will aid you in achieving your goals and become motivating factors in your surge forward. In some cases, these opportunities come to the Father. In a woman’s chart, this is often a time of marriage or engagement and offers opportunities for meeting up with a suitable suitor, especially if the Vertex is involved or Venus and Jupiter. The health is usually good when the conjunction has positive aspects from transits affecting it and whatever you are trying to achieve has greater chance of success. If, however, this conjunction is receiving negative aspects from other planets in transit, especially outer planets, the chances for success are greatly diminished or you will have to work very hard in order to achieve the same level of success that the positive aspects would incur. Much of what transforms depends on the planet in question transiting the conjunction and its house placement as well as the house placement it has natally. You can also look to the house it rules in the Natal chart to get more information as to how events may unfold and what areas of life will be involved. There may also be difficulties in the health of the individual although you would have to look at the overall condition of the Natal ascendant and Sun as well as any planets in the twelfth house, known as the house of ingrained health issues if poorly aspected. When the progressed Sun advances towards the Ascendant, you may feel a draw to make changes to your life that would enhance your world. Some will make changes to their appearance while some become involved in exercise routines that enhance the body. Paying close attention to your well-being is always recommended and especially so when this conjunction is about to take hold in your life.

We live in a world where there is much confusion. People, from all walks of life, search for their or the universal truths with hopes to find even just a glimmer of that which they seek. They ponder what lies ahead and question why life operates on the various different levels that it does. Many individuals question how a God could allow such atrocities to happen and what possible positive outcome could result from these events. It is said that the human race is allowed free reign of their personal decisions. It is truly difficult to understand the “positive” results of horrific events but personally I have to believe that all things have a silver lining. There are those that believe in yin and yang or polar opposites and that if there is positive in the world there also has to be negative. There are two sides to every coin and this is what constitutes our reality, or at least our concept of reality. Take a moment to reconsider this..........What if only love and all its attributes truly exist and this is the only true reality? How would our world change under such conditions? What if all the nations of the world followed the golden rule and only did unto others as they would want others to do unto them? What a world that would be. Reality or at least one of our concepts of reality constitutes that for every action there is a reaction. For every good deed carried out, there is a blessing that awaits the person who lives by these rules. What is your truth? Think in terms of yin and yang--love and hate--peace and war. Again, what if the only true reality is only the good in life? What if everything that is not good is an illusion, but an illusion that we have created, that we have somehow given life? What if we could see the good that comes out of every action without judgement, without expecting that in return something on the opposite side of the scales would have to fall into place? True reality exists (even though this statement sounds redundant, it truly is not). We experience “judgement” daily through our own thought process. True reality (not our reality) is good, created through love and compassion. Yes, our personal reality is made up of two sides to that coin of life, but true reality is all that is good. Therefore, are we not caught up in a false reality of our own making? This is not to say that one can escape life’s physical restriction and its difficulties, although perhaps on some mental level conceivably we can. The only truth that actually matters is love generated. This is the true reality. The rest of it is a product of man’s interference and has no place in true reality. It is a blemish that must be conquered and put into its proper place. Its place, however, does not really exist. Truth is love and all of its wonders. Ponder this for a moment. Allow your minds to remain open to this concept. Seek out truth and our true reality.

The Sun is now in the sign of Libra and this post applies to those who are born with the Sun in Libra or have a Libra Ascendant. The difference between having a Sun sign in Libra and having an Ascendant in Libra primarily is that the Sun sign is normally reflective of our inner character while the Ascendant usually depicts our outer personality--the personality we reveal to the world and our first reaction to outside stimuli. With this placement strong in your Chart, life is a balancing act. People with this Sun sign always need to find balance in life and particularly within their important relationships. Because of this need for balance and harmony in their life, some of these individuals are often said to change direction in mid-stream, just to avoid confrontation. They have an uncanny ability to see both sides of almost any situation and are great at the art of compromise in order to keep things at peace. They sway from side to side making alterations to keep everyone happy although they are very open to dialogue within their personal relationships and are not afraid to rock the boat when necessary. Justice is their prime concern and they carefully analyse situations to decide what the best route to take is. This makes them comfortable in making decisions on behalf of those around them that require guidance. They see something positive in most circumstances. These individuals make great mediators. In partnership, and as mentioned this is a primary focus of their life, they strive for peace and harmony but often have trouble taking responsibility for their actions. They would rather push the blame on others to avoid taking responsibility for a condition gone astray. Libra people are very social and eager to cooperate for the general good of others. This makes them very approachable and they are usually well liked. Seeking the middle ground is their prime objective and if the truth is unpleasant, they will find a little white lie to absorb the blunt of what the truth might represent. In their mind, these little white lies can protect others as well as themselves and it is ok to use this tactic to save face or hurt. Because of this need for balance and harmony at almost any cost, some Libra individuals have difficulties making a stand. They are often found sitting on the fence and to some of the more assertive signs in the Zodiac, this character trait is viewed as somewhat weak. Libra individuals are always looking for the right way to express life or the best way to deal with life when problems could arise. Harmony is the ultimate condition that they seek and although many have high expectations in life, they are quite willing to let things slide in order to maintain that middle ground that is so appealing to them. It is no wonder that their symbol is the scales of justice. Their goal is to bringing equality to all and fairness into all situations, without pondering too heavily on what these inherent traits represent to the world at large. Balance, harmony and peace are the hallmarks of this justice oriented sign and peace at any cost would be their mantra.
