Aquarius This is the sign of the water bearer which symbolically represents these individuals spreading their ideas and new thoughts into the world. They are quite willing to spread their word and are particularly happy when it is well received. Their intention is to bestow the world with new ideas and also involve others in this progression. Aquarius individuals are the visionaries of the zodiac and have the ability to see far into the future and find ways to make the world a better place for everyone. They are humanitarian and are very conscious of the influence they might have on their environment. If only they could spread the word. Their mission is a noble one with the general good of all intended. They are progressive thinkers with excellent reasoning abilities and they truly want to provide something for others to share and incorporate into their lives. They are sympathetic and compassionate with a genuine concern for those around them. Their ideas can be radical and even rebellious, and they are against any type of constraint. Freedom seekers, they reach out beyond the confines of what could be considered normal, extending themselves beyond rational thinking. They are often thought of as trailblazers with progressive, intuitive ideologies in the forefront of their thinking. Aquarians want to change the world and make it a better place for everyone to live. They will patiently try to shake others away from complacency, pushing them into new and unexplored regions of their own minds. As mentioned, they are progressive thinkers and anything that has become stale and no longer serves a purpose, they insist on changing. When their views are obstructed or interfered with they can easily become impatient and temperamental. They are very fixed in their opinions with an intention of providing what others need on a mental level. The thinking process is considered quite logical and they have a broad focus. It is all about evolution and bringing in the new with advancement on their minds. Aquarians believe they are right and will follow along a planned route towards a given target. They can be somewhat rebellious but have no problem admitting to this; some are even radical in their ideas and considered quite different. They actually enjoy this. If you make a friend with an Aquarian, you will never be bored. They have an adventurous spirit and love wide open spaces. There is actually a real need for freedom and a need to roam. Being tied down does not sit well with the average Aquarian. If you are in search for a logical resolution to a problem they will assist you in reaching a positive conclusion and then make you aware that it was you that came up with the solution. To get a clearer picture of your Aquarius Sun, check to see which house your Aquarius Sun is located in. This will provide you with more information on how you might utilize these humanitarian principles and put your life to work. Also have a look at aspects from other planets and key point in the birth chart to define how the planets will affect the overall condition of the Sun sign. Check in particular if there are planets in the eleventh house, which is ruled by Aquarius and if there are, this will intensify many of the traits linked to this sign Astrology 101 Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and the eleventh house . Garnet is one of the stones of Aquarius. Other stones associated with Aquarius include Amber, Amethyst, Angelite, Blue Obsidian, Boji Stone, Cryolite, Garnet, Hematite, Lithium Quartz, Magnetite, Merlinite, and Rainforest Jasper.

Uranus Uranus Uranus, the planet of revolution and sudden often drastic change, can often causes havoc in people’s lives when in transit. It is the ruler of Aquarius the water barer, and is commonly known as the awakener. Its influence functions as a huge factor in making necessary changes in your life. Uranus makes changes in areas of life that have outgrown their purpose and require alteration. Uranus held to liberate us from anything that could be considered traditional or restrictive in nature. It creates a desire for the new and unique and often produces this in unexpected and in unconventional ways. Uranus moves through each sign in approximately 7 years and takes a full 84 years to circle the zodiac. During its movement it creates quick results and a feeling of liberation and freedom from restriction. Uranus governs universal brotherhood and is humanitarian in its nature. It will force you to have an honest look at life's issues and then make necessary changes. If you choose not to adhere to what is being proposed, it often acts in a much more abrupt manner and in a manner that will be often out of your control. Uranus is rebellious in its nature and pushes us into a need for independent thinking with a flair for the unconventional and unique. Uranus also has been known to produce shocking awakening when the eyes have been closed to what is required. It governs universal truths and intuition and anyone with strong Uranus tendencies has a unique way of translating these truths, quite often in an abrupt matter-of-fact fashion Uranus’s action is unpredictable, imaginative and also very inspirational. It is the higher octave of Mercury and therefore is considered a planet linked to the mental process. It deals a lot with potential outcomes and is future oriented. Uranus pushes us to come out into the open and express our uniqueness and creativity as well as advanced mental quickness and agility, similar to Mercury , although the thinking process may be considered bohemian in its nature. It rules electricity and anything electronic, such as computers and technology in its newest innovation. Uranus is anything but conventional and depending where it is found in your chart this will be where you choose to reveal your originality and uniqueness. If, for example, you have Uranus closely linked to the ascendant in the first house , your originality will shine through. Many would consider you a bit of an eccentric, and you would not be ashamed of this flair which makes you stand apart from the crowd. Uranus will push you to be different and to be proud of it too. Astrology 101 Uranus is the awakener and is associated with rebellion and revolution. It is the ruler of Aquarius and is associated with the eleventh house The Sun The Moon Mercury Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Pluto

The Planets The Planets The Birth or Natal chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the instant of your birth. It is a diagram of the precise planetary placements which is reflective of you and a roadmap of your potential and lessons possible in life. Each planet represents a quality linked directly to you (a character trait if you will) that differentiates between each and every individual. There are no two charts that are precisely the same. Even when someone is born in the same year, on the same day and at the same moment, their location of birth will differ. As a result, the overall personal characteristics change. How much of a change depending on the distance between their birth places. The planets fall into houses . There are twelve in all, circling the horoscope. Each house is significant as they represent an area of your life’s focus. The planets located within these houses will have an impact in that area of life. With several planets located in a particular house, there will be an emphasis in that area of life. At that instant at birth, the planets are frozen in time to create the reflection of you. This is your Natal Chart and the location of the plants will never move for this chart. Once the Natal or Birth Chart snapshot has been taken, the planets continue to move around the chart. This is referred to as Transiting planets and will be discussed under Transits in the near future. Each planet has its own specific function and has its own specific energy in an Astrology chart. The planet's energy will be in the area of life dictated by the house it is located in and will be influenced by the astrological sign it is under in your individual chart. Remember, the planetary locations for a birth chart do not change. With this in mind, we will look at what each planet brings to the Astrology chart table.

Venus Venus in your birth chart through sign and house placement describes the potential attraction through love and creativity. When its energies are flowing smoothly, Venus denotes Spirituality from a creative prospective. Venus is a social planet and describes how we relate and draw to ourselves shared experiences. This could include parties, social gatherings where we would be the one organizing the occasion or the recipient of such an event. Venus also depicts our financial status and our ability to encompass material wealth. Venus is a beneficial and benevolent planet. Where Venus is found in our charts is where we will find grace of style, beauty and love. Venus is always present when a meaningful love affair is activated. Venus deals with affection both given and received.

The Ninth House The Ninth house is naturally ruled by the sign Sagittarius and the Planet Jupiter . Sagittarius and Jupiter combined speak of optimistic expansion through the use of the mind and through life’s experience. This house seeks to expand the scope of the mind's focus using whatever means appropriate to reach this understanding, whatever that understanding may entail. Higher education is one scope in finding answers, whether this be through actual academic schooling or the schooling of life. As learning can come from many sources in the ninth house, long distance travel, foreign cultures and travel through the mind are all areas that relate to this house. Many of life’s issues and deeper understandings can be attained while visiting foreign countries and the people one meets along this journey. One seeks to discover more of our world through communication with people of different cultures to gain an appreciation of our life’s meaning. The Ninth house provides learned information through gathering the meaning of things gained only through experience. This is the house of philosophy and religious interaction, and any planets found in this house use their particular energies to uncover philosophic meaning to an otherwise conventional world. Within the realms of the ninth house the higher meanings of life can be unearthed through wisdom gained in experience at any level that appropriately satisfies this yearning for truth. Dreams and visions also come into play in this house, as the mind's focus shifts and works through channels that consciousness only discovers when delving into these states. Problems can be resolved through these channels. This issues can then be modified to fit into the proper channels and as a result will be understood on a conscious level. The ninth house is where we uncover the truth through any channel that provides us with answers. It is the study of religion in its highest form and through philosophic understandings, we slowly weave our way through our life’s journey and uncover the deeper meaning of life and the ultimate truths. Astrology 101 The Ninth House is naturally ruled by Sagittarius. This is the house of PHILOSOPHY and FOREIGN TRAVEL.

Transits Transits in Astrology Our birth chart or natal chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment of birth with the earth in the centre. The earth is surrounded by all the planets. This snapshot of the heavens (the birth chart) remains intact as long as you live, nothing changes. The moment after birth, however, the planets (although frozen in the natal chart) begin to move again which are call the transiting planets. On most chart diagrams, the transiting planets are located on the outside of the circle and the natal planets are located in the centre of the chart diagram. Each transiting planet moves at a different speed. They can also move in different directions (direct – moving forward; stationary – appear to not move at all; and retrograde – appearing to move backwards). Again, the moving planets after the moment of birth are called Transiting and the deciphering of these placements and the angles they make (aspects) to the natal planets and astrology chart angles (MC, Ascendant, IC and DC) tell the current and future story of your life. There are many aspects these transiting planets can make to the natal (birth) planets (both Major and Minor aspects). Some of these aspects are considered challenging but teach valuable lessons. Other aspects are easy flow. Much depends on what angles and planets are involved. When a transiting planet, for example, makes an angle of 0 to 10 degrees separation (moving away) to a natal planet, the energies merge and become one. 0 to 10 degrees is called a conjunction which tells of an emphasis and it elevates the energies of the planets involved (or the angles it touches). The conjunction is most strong when the two plants are 0 degrees apart. As they begin to separate, the energies begin to weaken and usually within 2-3 degrees past direct, the energies are basically gone. Saturn, which is the exception, does last longer and is often at its peak 2 degrees past direct. Everything associated with Saturn seems to be delayed. Another variable with the transits and what they are saying involves the house placement that the planets are found in. For example, when a planet is moving through the seventh house, the seventh house matters will be involved. You not only look at the transiting planet’s house but also look at the house that the natal (same) planet is located in as well as the house any aspecting planet is located in. You also have to look at the natal house placement that the transiting planet was located in within the birth chart. In other words, if Uranus is transiting the seventh house, the seventh house is enhanced or activated. If Uranus is aspecting the Sun in the 10th house, the 10th house is also highlighted. If Uranus is natally in the fourth house then you also have to take into consideration what the fourth house signifies. You would be looking at the 7th house, the 10th house and the 4th house to get a full picture of the aspect between Uranus and the Sun. When delineating transits, it is important that you understand the duration of the transits. All the outer planets have a greater impact on your life because they move slowly. Pluto can have as much as a 3-4 year impact on your life. The most powerful will always be when planets are direct. Direct contact can last as long as one to two years. Faster moving planets have very quick influences and as a result, move out of influence quickly. There is no lasting impact from the inner planets. Transiting Planets in the Signs We will take a look at Transiting Planets in the various Astrological signs. This is a work in progress that we have just started. Check back regularly for updates. We are working on this information and will be adding more soon. Pluto in the Signs Back to Astrology 101

ORACLE CARD READINGS TESTIMONIAL I felt that Peter really connected with me and my concerns about where my life is going and what my focus needs to be at this time. He gave me a great reading that was very detailed. It was my first reading and he took his time and explained everything. I didn’t feel rushed at all. I got information that showed me my strengths and my challenges as I walk my path. I have always sensed these things but was afraid to step into the light. Peter has given me the information that I needed to hear and now, it’s up to me to step up my game and honour my spirit instead of being lost in ego. I am so grateful to Peter for being out there and channeling this information in such a clear and empowering way. Besides that, it was also just so inspirational to me to see someone who takes his craft very seriously and is actually living what is so obviously, his calling. Thank you, Peter!

Clelia CTI Reading (Traditional oral chart with intuitive card reading) QuotesI just finished reading the composite (relationship) chart done for me by Holm Astrology. I?m not sure what I expected, as I?ve never had a composite chart done before. However, this chart reading is, quite frankly, amazing. The accuracy, depth, and detail provided are excellent. The chart reading answered several key questions I had?and much more. The information was delivered with a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and thoroughness. I feel much better prepared now to move forward in this relationship in a clear, positive and, very importantly, realistic way.Quotes KM, New York Composite Chart Reading Peter Holm of Holm Astrology had previously done an Astrology Oracle Card Reading that was "spot on" for me so I asked for his expertise again, this time for my Astrology Birth Chart..... Today I met with him & was amazed at his findings.... His attention to detail & interpretation of my chart was awesome.... There it was, all laid out in order of my life.....accuracy & clarity.... It is so amazing, that the way the planets align at the time of birth has such an effect on your life.... Peter's professionalism is second to none..... I will absolutely recommend Peter Holm of Holm Astrology to everyone I know.... Thank you, Peter, for this amazing gift you share....Awesome..... Namaste.... DA, Wasaga Beach, On.Quotes D.A. Satisfied Client It truly was a fascinating experience to meet with Peter and get my chart done. This has provided me with a further understanding of my past, present and future life events and milestones. Amazing experience - thank you Peter. MW. Barrie.Quotes MW Satisfied Customer Peter has a very special gift! The chart he did for me is a true reflection of who I am and why I am that person! It also allowed me to see my past with a different, more positive lens. While reading the chart I felt that not only does he have this wonderful gift, but it comes from a "holy" place. Thank you for your guidance! Catarina Although I don't typically write testimonials after receiving a chart reading from Holm Astrology, I feel compelled to do so. This is the most thorough & accurate astrological chart reading I've ever had. It clearly identified not only my main character traits (and often their origination), but also many smaller, more subtle ones I have & it helped me understand more about them. This reading was done using only my birth date, time, & location-Peter Holm had no prior knowledge of me nor ever spoke with me before. Yet, his very thorough, well-written, & extremely detailed report made me feel like he?s known me for years. I also asked for transits (which have not been pleasant). Again, the depth & detail Peter offered regarding these transits was impressive and extremely accurate. He described in clear detail their possible impact on my current life situations (he was correct)Quotes Kate M. New York, USA Glad I made the Investment Part I & importantly, he provided specific & helpful suggestions on ways I could attempt to navigate through them in order to learn the life lessons they're intended to teach (not easy ones right now?). The reports are very tactful but they don't 'sugar coat' things; what is, is. We can only grow when we accept & deal with our reality, & sometimes that's a bitter pill to swallow, at least at first. Subsequent to receiving my detailed reading, I had several questions. I emailed those questions to Peter, & he responded quickly & with great detail and clarity. I am in my early 50?s, have a moderate grasp of astrology, & have worked previously with several astrologers. However, I believe the quality, accuracy, detail, & professionalism provided by Holm Astrology surpasses them all. A reading by Holm Astrology is an excellent resource that will help you better understand & work with your life path. I?m very glad I made the investment & have no doubt you will be, too.Quotes Kate M. New York, USA Glad I made the Investment Part I When this information is viewed fresh on the pages, it makes you laugh at your own transparency, and gain some clarity of the Whole Self, in a way that isn't feasible without this sort of 'big picture' objective feedback. That alone is worth its weight in gold! The chart reading is insightful, intuitive and overall affirming. Peter's warmth and skilled craftsmanship remain constant throughout. I recommend Holm Astrology whole heartedly; it's a wonderful gift to give, especially to oneself. Thank you, Peter. Warmest Regards, MK, Barrie, ONQuotes MK, Barrie Soul or Life Path Reading Part II I was initially interested in getting an astrology chart done because I have found myself going through an interesting phase in life, & I feel like it is important for me to understand what I'm going through in order to prepare for the future. This booklet put into words a lot of things I have been unable to explain & has helped me understand more about myself. Reading this definitely made me more aware of limitations I may set upon myself & increased my awareness of obvious personality traits that I choose to ignore. I think it helps to read something like this with an open mind & ability to accept oneself despite the reaction to the negative & know there's always room for improvement. Thank you for making this astrology chart for me. I found it very insightful & should prove a useful tool.Quotes JC Useful Tool Part 2 The astrology chart you typed up for me is one of the most accurate and most encompassing reflections I've encountered. So much so that I had to ask a family member if she had given any information about me prior to you completing the chart. I found it took quite a few reads to understand & digest all of the information. I think the overall presentation of the booklet is very impressive. I enjoyed how you are able to write with clarity. I found that the precision of your writings is present among concepts that are vague & have blurred lines. It's interesting how you are able to use astrological methods to explain various faucets of life. I was wondering as well as how you are able to write with insight into various personality traits & if you incorporate knowledge of psychic ability to accomplish this?Quotes JC Useful Tool Thank you, Holm Astrology, for my Natal Birth Chart. I've gotta say, I'm pretty freaked out by it! It's me, in a book. A little unnerving to see yourself written out like that, yet comforting at the same time. It helps me to trust the process - that if who I am comes from the alignment of the Universe, then I can feel safe in trusting that it will continue to take care of me. It's that simple. You gave me proof. Nothing is random. Not my existence, not even my personality or challenges. Also, I appreciate your method of describing those challenges too--with insight and suggestions to help turn them into workable and improved aspects of who I am. Guidance from above. Thank you for interpreting my stars.Quotes Kim M. Natal Birth Chart I have read my chart and WOW. This Astrology chart sure captures ME. I still cannot get over how accurate it is. It certainly has helped me to understand the "why" behind my thought process and my emotion, and to understand the contradictions in my personality at times. I will reread my chart every once in a while for the reminders. I feel more at peace with myself now....amazing to me, for sure. The report also gave me some interesting avenues to think about and possibly pursue. It is rather exciting to me. It sure was the best money I ever spent.Quotes JD Accurate WOW My chart was quite accurate-personality & the events over the past year. I have always maintained that I am here to learn patience. You reiterated that. I am a firm believer in moving forward & looking for the lessons & the positive in all situations. It can be difficult though when things get shaken up. Descriptors (in my chart) of life changing on a moment?s notice, as well as having not 1 situation but 3 or 4 that are unexpected & not asked for, are very true. I find the whole idea of the influence of planets very interesting. It challenges the notion that we have choices in our path (other than how we deal with it). Your assessment of changes in relationships and lifestyle are correct. You were also very right in that amongst all the negativity which indeed is very overwhelming (felt as though I had the crud beat out of me) many good supports have popped up which I may not have used previously given my independence. My chart was great. Thank you for all your work.Quotes c.t. Thanks Peter for my birth chart report, truly inspiring and enlightening. Your insights were so amazing and resonated totally with me. Much to digest and of course, I will be re-reading my report again. So glad I came to you for your valued services, much appreciated. Domenic R.Quotes Domenic R. Just had a chart done for my son and can't believe how accurate and insightful the information is. I'm so pleased I'm commissioning another one for another family member! thank you!Quotes Catarina I wish that I could talk to every person that takes a look at your page and considers getting a chart done. Your insights are so acurate and thought provoking. This is definitely a science that you have mastered over the last few decades!Quotes Leigh R. Ottawa I think you do an amazing job on your charts and I would highly recommend your services.Quotes Darlene H. Thanks for the chart Peter Holm. Easy to follow, cheap and crazy accurate.Quotes Casey M. Reading through it was so amazing! It also made me realize a lot about myself that I wasn't fully clear on, it's fantastic! I've never spoken to you in person, only gave you the bare minimum of the information you needed and you were able to pinpoint exactly who I am and factors in my life right now with such accuracy! Amazing!Quotes B. Blaker I just want to thank you, Peter, so much for the astrology chart you wrote up for me. Before I received this chart, I hadn't given astrology much thought. Upon reading the chart you wrote, I was amazed by the accuracy of it all. To this day, I refer to your chart and I find it extremely helpful as a guide, comforting due to its accuracy, and overall extremely effective. Thank you :) I would encourage many to get their chart done by you, as it's clear that you put forth your commitment, passion, and brilliance.Quotes Lauren Elizabeth The Moon's (Lunar) Node chart is very helpful in providing a mirror as to who you are and why you are here, a fundamental question to our existence. I wish the guidance counsellor at my local high school could have guided me with this kind of info to help make good choices with future studies, career choices and life choices in general!! Highly recommended for youth and late bloomers!Quotes P. McNeill I commissioned the preparation of a Compatibility Chart. I am now happy and confident in my chosen Life Partner. Holm Astrology explains why we are compatible and makes it clear, concise and meaningful. Peter also gives the charts the personal touch with his own observations and insights. The Compatiblity Chart for David and I is Bang On~~ I have read and re read it as have close friends and they are as amazed as well! You both are healers ...one person at a time! Thanks once again for your good and honest work.Quotes Judy L. Thank you Peter Holm for taking the time to create my chart. Words can not describe how grateful I am for the tools you have provided me and you have shone a light that very much needed to be lit. Please visit the Holm Astrology!Quotes Melissa T. "Spot on, is the best way to describe my chart. It was a real awakening to read your comments. It helped to see what I am going thru right now as I was feeling a little lost. We?ll see how the next year plays out as far as what is coming down the road. Thanks for the eye opener."Quotes L.L. Ontario I have now had 4 charts done with Holm Astrology and am extremely impressed with all of them. I have just requested a new chart as a Birthday gift for ?XXXX?....She will be thrilled!!...This is a great idea for any occasion! I have had both Natal Charts and Compatibility Charts done to amazing accuracy.Quotes J.L. Nova Scotia Reading my daughters Chart was so amazing. Having all of her traits laid out in front of me was a lot like seeing myself written in words. Seeing ways I can help make her a stronger and more emotionally fulfilled person as she grows up is definitely one of the best tools a parent could have. I look forward to experiencing her personality really develop because from what I see in her already and what I see in her Child Empowerment Chart, she is an awesome little person!Quotes B.B. Barrie, Ontario I feel this chart is a gift to me. I appreciate every word and believe so very much. I was drawn to your words and I love how this chart is worded. I loved the fact that I had to read it twice and the second time I had to use a dictionary. Thanks again for your words and this new guidance. I know who I am and now I just have a new knowledge on where to direct my focus!Quotes D.R. from NL

About Us Holm Astrology's goal is to educate people about the science of Astrology and to provide our clients with the proper tools to accomplish and/or overcome anything in life. Self-understanding is the first step. Let Astrology offer insights to assist with your choices! ​ About Us Peter Holm is an Astrologer, a teacher of Astrology, an intuitive card reader, a life counselor, a Reiki Master, a Practitioner of automatic writing and certainly a lover of life. Peter Holm’s passion for Astrology began to develop in the early 1980’s when he was advised by an “other worldly message” that he could be an Astrologer if he so wished. From the moment of that message, there was no looking back. Peter still continues his studies today some 38 years later as the science of Astrology is an endless study. Upon retiring from his “job to support his family”, Peter Holm nurtured and developed Holm Astrology into a reputable business but most of all, into a vehicle to fulfill his passion to help others Peter Holm wanted to share the knowledge that he has accumulated over the many decades and as a result of the “push” by several of his clients, he began to teach Astrology. Please see our calendar for dates of upcoming classes. A primary must in Astrology is the understanding that you cannot confuse an Astrology chart reading with the general information contained in a typical newspaper clipping or online sentence that speaks and predicts so generally for each Sun signs. Astrology is so much more than our Sun Sign. You may have your sun in Gemini, for example, but if you have several planets in Aries or several planets in the first house of your chart (ruled by Aries) you will relate far better to the qualities of Aries than you would with the characteristics of a Gemini sun sign as in our example. As a child, Peter Holm spoke frequently of spirits and issues that were not openly received at the time but he had someone in particular who listened to him. Without this positive influence, his gifts may have been stifled as they are with so many others that are told that they are “being silly” or they are told to “stop lying”. He is thrilled today that the world is become far more open to life beyond this material existence. As he has matured, Peter Holm has grown into himself and his gifts. He now is in tune to people’s energies and the quite voices of his guides and those spirits that have advice and information to pass on. Peter utilized the use of oracle cards to conduct intuitive readings which can be carried out in person or over the telephone or in your home as a group party (each participant's reading is done privately). Oracle card readings can also be combined with Astrology chart readings which brings two tools together to provide an even more extensive experience. Peter Holm’s focus is to assist those that come to him on their journey. All of the tools at Peter Holm's disposal are there to help others…through self understanding, ensuring that they are aware of the energy available to them which in turn allows them to recognize and utilize the energies available to its fullest. He offers guidance when clients are overwhelmed as we can become so caught up in the experience that we become blind to our tools, the lesson and our focus. Peter offers healing energies so that clients can trigger their own healing process, physically, mentally and spiritually. He receives information through automatic writings which is passed on as food for thought in his Blog . Peter Holm believes that if we do not stop and take a look at ourselves from time to time, we become complacent and stagnate. This life is a gift. Let’s live it to the fullest! * * * * * * * * I've just had my CTI reading (Combine Traditional [Astrology Chart] Intuitive [Card Reading]) using astrology oracle cards and my birth chart done by Holm Astrology. Peter very clearly and precisely drew out the characteristics and aspects of my past and my present. He painted a picture of who and more importantly why I am!! He then presented my future -- he has amazing intuition and knows how to present the information to ensure I understood the path ahead. Thank you Peter -- you have a wonderful gift!!

Jupiter Retrograde Jupiter Retrograde When Jupiter goes into its retrograde, this cycle lasts about 120 days and will move between 10 to 20 degrees. Jupiter goes retrograde every year and as retrogrades usually indicate that the energy is not strong or its full expression is restricted, Jupiter in retrograde still offers up opportunities for expansion and optimism, although somewhat challenged when it is in touch with Saturn. You can use an orb of 3-4 degrees when determining if Jupiter will affect any of the planets or important points in your natal chart. As it crosses these placements, the energy of Jupiter will increase. When it turns direct again, its positive expansiveness is considered to be alive and well. Under normal conditions Jupiter is known as the great benefactor, but it is said that when it moves into retrograde, the energies of these characteristics seem to fade and its normal opportunistic influence is felt on an inner level. On the material side of things, however, it is less effective but still present. It is suggested that if you are considering buying property or big luxury items while Jupiter is in retrograde motion that you reconsider and wait until Jupiter is once again in direct motion. Much depends on the natal aspects to your Jupiter. In general, Jupiter’s energies are not as lucky in retrograde motion as they are under direct motion. When this planet moves into retrograde, its impact is felt on an inner level rather than in our outside world. During a retrograde cycle, you can benefit greatly if you focus on inner growth and awareness. Getting in touch with you and objectively view yourself making alterations along the way as this would be very beneficial Jupiter is the planet of expansion and is connected to spirituality and the philosophies of life that have deeper meaning. If you have a look at the house it is transiting through as well as the house it is located in your natal chart, these will be areas of life that you can do work on and transform in ways that will suit you better (when Jupiter is direct again). It is a time of introspection when Jupiter is retrograde. Remember to view Jupiter even when retrograde on a positive note, even if what you see or if your life’s direction is not what you thought it was. Under the retrograde influence you can make adjustments to the way you have been living your life, transform your life’s direction and put yourself on track with where you should be going. Jupiter in retrograde is connected to the lessons in life that are required during that specific time. Be honest with yourself under this influence, and you will be able to re-examine your truths and gauge these with a keen eye in order to decide what you want to change and what is worthy of keeping. These are often aspects of yourself that need some tweaking, in turn creating a higher version of yourself on track and ready to move in your intended direction. Look inside yourself and find those inner riches. While under the influence of Jupiter in retrograde, if you are making plans on going into a business venture, make sure that you take the time to consider all the aspects connected to making this decision. You may find that you will make great expenditures when Jupiter is retrograde. This is not always a wise decision and likely not one you would make if Jupiter were in direct motion. It is actually best to wait before making any decisions, unless your natal Jupiter and the planets connected to it in the natal chart are quite “well” aspected. Check to see what the natal chart is saying and then make your decisions. Just make sure that you are viewing these contacts with clarity and watch for expanded optimism. Once Jupiter has gone back into direct motion and is making aspects to other planets in your natal chart, you will be able to gauge what areas of life might be affected and the potential outcome of actions taken once Jupiter is direct. Jupiter is a very positive influence in your life and will enhance most experiences, especially when linked to higher forms of delivery.

Taurus As we move from the fiery sign of Aries into the earth sign of Taurus, we have pushed ourselves out there in the world and are now ready to move into a more secure life situation. Aries instigates aggressive pursuit to make something out of ourselves and Taurus now wants to instil a more sure-footed response. Taurus is all about building a foundation that can stand the test of time. This is often acquired through material means and security is often measured by the rewards offered from a bank account that is slowly but steadily rising. Taurus is security minded and uses determination and discipline to reach their objectives in life. They do not rush out there and stake their claim as Aries individuals would do. Taurus people choose a more solid structure that guarantees success. They are determined and not afraid of hard work. They understand that if this is what it takes to achieve success, then that is the route to take. They are not very spontaneous and like the tried and tested route. They quietly build on this structured ground and move forward in their quest for security. They rarely sway off the chosen path and can be counted on in any situation. In times of strife, they are usually cool-headed and ward off anything that could jeopardize their sense of security through perseverance and staying steadfast. They are very calm individuals although once they become angry, they are quite explosive and have a difficult time settling down. Taurus individuals are very fixed in their ways and also quite opinionated. Some are considered inflexible and stubborn to a fault as they have a difficult time adapting to anything new. They will stubbornly adhere to their ways of doing things. They may not be spontaneous in their decisions, but they will remain true to their word once it is given. This makes them quite reliable and responsible individuals. In loving relationships, they are faithful to their loved ones and will work hard at maintaining a meaningful relationship. They are romantics and also very sensual people. Taurus individuals will lavishly look after those they love with luxury and surround them with beauty. They are very earthy and not inclined to wanderlust activities. They prefer to remain at home as travel is not something that means a whole lot to them. They will, however, travel to keep their loved ones happy. They like structure in their life and anything new that has potential of unsettling their comfortable life can produce anxiety and worry. They like things to be predictable and steady. To uncover more meaning in life, Taurus individuals will school themselves through practical learning and formulated ideas. If this suggests long tedious tasks that require concentrated energy and an ability to keep moving in an intended direction, they can be counted on to reach this destination. Patience is a key character trait that they can rely on throughout their lives. Their motto could be “good things are worth waiting for”. Astrology 101 Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and the second house. Sapphire is the stone of Taurus. The alternative stone is Emerald. Other stones associated with Taurus include Amblygonite, Blue Tourmaline, Carnelian, Emerald, Kunzite, Kyanite, Rhodonite, Rose Quartz, Selenite, and Variscite. Return to Sun Sign Page
