When writing this post (Aug/23) transiting Pluto is in the final stages of Capricorn. It moves into Aquarius in early 2024, but moves into retrograde and returns back into Capricorn. After this final pass into Capricorn, Pluto remains in Aquarius as of November, 2024. The information in this post will affect those with their Sun in Gemini and Libra and those with their Sun in the late degrees of Taurus and Virgo. For some 20 years, Pluto will move slowly through Aquarius. Check your ephemeris to note if/when your Sun sign will be affected. For those experiencing this transit, it may be letting go of the familiar and knowing that change is inevitable. These changes, often total and complete, suggest times of personal growth and expansion. Your sense of self can go through many significant changes as you move in a new direction. You may feel as though you have more individual control over your destiny, with a personal sense of power and a new sense of direction. Your self-confidence is subject to great growth and many transformations are at hand, but they will take time and often require that you, as mentioned, let go of what was in place prior to this expansive and transformative time. Pluto is about endings, completely new beginnings and moving forward through major transformation and regeneration because this new road is much more in line with where you need to be. In most cases this is a very positive time although often quite tumultuous, as there will be power struggles at times, but renewed self-confidence is often a by-product of moving in this new direction. Evolutionary changes are at hand, and this can be very personal. Your path in life may change and you may find that what you thought was the way forward no longer applies. Much will depend on the houses involved in your chart as these will be the areas of life affected. It will likely take some 2-3 years for the whole process to unfold and there may be glitches along the way but in general the changes are progressive and evolutionary. You will be wise to go with the flow when Pluto is involved. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

Sometimes there is a fork in the road just ahead and you don’t know which way to go. The decision is not easy as what lies ahead is not clear. What should we do in this case? If you truly feel that you are doing all that you can in the moment and have been working on a solution but nothing seems to shift, perhaps something else needs adjusting. Our attitude is often what needs shifting. Our perspective on what is in place can be changed, and then in many cases, life also begins to change. Our expectations also certainly have an influence. How can we move forward with expectations that hold us back? If a change of direction is needed it takes courage to make a move. If the current situation is tough, then change is a requirement. Many of us fear the unknown and making changes can be extremely challenging. This is, undoubtedly, not the first challenge you have been faced with and likely will not be the last. Reflect on what is in place. Do not ignore your current circumstances but do not jump to decisions either. Taking the necessary time to analyze the situation and conditions is important but do not fear making a mistake. Are there really any mistakes in life? All events teach us valuable lessons. Lessons therefore cannot be mistakes. You are the guide on your journey. Expect lessons and reap the rewards of the growth they bring. Please do not comment on this post.

How many times have you heard that we are all one? From human existence to animals, birds, fish, plant life, insects, bacteria and beyond (even consciousness itself), we share the same vibrational force. We are inseparable and the ripple effect of what we do and even what we think carries forward throughout our planet and undoubtedly beyond. What is it that you are thinking, acting upon and sharing throughout your daily life? Do you want happiness, love, and compassion? Do you give love and compassion? (happiness cannot be given) What are you doing to create more of what you want? Each of us share insight, we share reflection, we share direction, and we influence. What quality of insight, reflection, direction and influence are you creating? Be sure to reflect on your influence, etc. periodically throughout your day. Please do not comment on this post.

As Uranus transits our natal chart, in some cases it can bring severe disruption to the normal flow of life. It brings turbulence and change, sometimes drastic in nature. Although it can be challenging it also heightens our awareness and pushes us to intuition and awareness that change is essential because what has been in place no longer suits our evolution. The Moon has to do with our emotions. The Moon in its natal position speaks of our abilities for nurturing and our sensitivity to our environment. Those with a water Moon (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) tend to be more receptive to their sensitivity and are sometimes known to have intuition and psychic awareness. Our Moon defines our emotional reaction to life’s events and has been called “our reigning need” by Noel Tyle. The Moon can also represent important women in our lives (mother); whereas the daughter is often represented by Venus. The Moon also represents where we need to go when our emotional nature needs regeneration. Sextiles are easy flowing aspects. They often produce opportunities on some level (much will depend on the houses involved). Although opportunities are indicative, a push is needed to get things moving. We must take the initiative. This is a positive aspect which often provides increased momentum so you can tackle even the more challenging situations. Sextile’s energies are calm, and you can use them to formulate an action plan that will put you in a better place. When you have T Uranus sextile your N Moon (depending on house position) there is an opportunity to resolve emotional issues that may have been lingering in the background. Perhaps your mother is reaching an age where she can no longer live on her own. Now you may decide to have her move into your home to help her. Perhaps your brother or a close friend has been causing you emotional strain because of this and now you can move ahead and make plans to alleviate the situation. Change is a requirement and Uranus/Moon can assist you in making necessary decisions. Perhaps the changes will come quickly and out of your hands. Perhaps there is much disruption in the beginning but over time you realize that this change is exactly what is needed. Uranus is the awakener and will open your eyes and emotions to help you move in the right direction. This can also mean a change of residence or a change within the family structure. There may be an opportunity to perhaps buy a new home or renovate/restructure the home so that it now has greater potential for the new to arrive. Please do not comment on this post.

It may not easy to correct self-defeating habits that have had full reign during our lifetime. It has taken a long time to condition yourself to believe or create these tendencies, and it will take time to retrain ourselves away from them. It will take work, but with the correct attitude and belief system in place, you can and will move away from self-defeating habits. Attitude and belief structure are the ultimate conditioning factors in life and focus brings magnification. Listening to your heart rather than your brain opens doors that otherwise are closed. The heart always provides comfort and love. As I am sure you have heard many times, it is all about conditioning and mental focus. You can choose between identifying with destructive traits or choose to change the direction of your focus. No one can do this for you. It is up to you to remain persistent as you begin this journey. The door is open to whoever believes that it is possible for them. If you close that door, the chances for evolution are dismal to say the least. You will fail if you maintain a “failure” attitude. You are the one listening to the busy mind, the one doing the processing. You are not the busy mind! You can adjust any thought to formulate an action plan that moves you to a more gentle and caring place, where you can find comfort and support. It is in your hands, but you must decide and want to move beyond your current circumstances and attitude. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

August 1, we will experience a Full Moon at 9° Aquarius. If you go back approx. 6 months this would be the commencement of what you are harvesting now. Those with a planet or important angle within 3° of this positioning either by conjunction or opposition will be affected by this Full Moon’s position. Aquarius has to do with humanitarian interests, progressive ideas, independence and in many cases rebellion again things that need changing. New ideas may have come to the surface over this time, and you may now see what progression has taken place. Your reasoning abilities are usually on target, and you work with a genuine concern for others, with their best interests in mind. The idea of progression is important, and you are pushing a change because perhaps you found a better way or the old way of doing things no longer suits the conditions in place now. You knew change had to come and now the question is what did you put in place to activate these required changes? There is an insistence for change when it is necessary because things are stale and what you did over this 6-month period will now stand in front of you and be ready for implementation. Logical solutions are in place, and you probably know what to do. Sometimes computers and electronics are part of the process. Sometimes astrology answers some of the questions, and most times your intuitive understanding helps. Much will depend on the houses involved as this will be the areas of life influenced. T Jupiter makes a square to this Full Moon’s position. Squares usually indicate some struggle and hurtles to overcome, however the square from Jupiter (the planet of opportunity) is not always overly challenging. Jupiter can expand energies in place although growth and prospects are also quite likely. Jupiter in Taurus may suggest that finances and security may be part of the issue. Perhaps there is a need for settling in and building a foundation that over time will become more reliable than what is in place now. If things have been very rough over the last 6 months, Jupiter can build on what is in place and likely bring things to a head. Changes on some level are in store, but if you review the circumstances of how things were prior to this time, you will note that change is a requirement. Please do not comment on this post.

Every living organism has a vibration and is part of the cosmic collectiveness. We are interconnected with all life and feel and give off vibrations. Since humans can vibrate on different frequencies, we can share our evolutional development with those that vibrate on different frequencies. Love, peace, and compassion vibrates for example are on the higher frequencies, while hate, violence, greed, and malicious intent vibrate on the lower frequencies. All vibrations are create by intent whether we are aware of this or not. How important is it that we shed our unwanted or lower energies and transform them into higher vibrations? Our energy is like a ripple on the water reaching far and wide, never ending and gathering momentum through the energies of others who vibrate on similar frequencies. You can change your frequency when necessary and share your light with others, so that “the movement” can be enhanced and always shared, even with those that are unaware. Take an honest look at yourself and ensure you are vibrating on a high level. It take work but it is worth it for you and all whom you touch. Please do not comment on this post.

As mentioned on Monday, we are exploring a couple of transiting aspects to the natal Sun in Leo. We continue our post from July 24 which looked at the Transit of Saturn affecting Sun in Leo. In January, 2024 Pluto will move into the sign of Aquarius although returning once again to Capricorn from September to November, 2024 due to retrograde motion. T Pluto will make an opposition to those with their Sun in the early degrees of Leo during the mentioned time and Pluto will stay in Aquarius for many years when it returns to Aquarius. The transit of Pluto in opposition to Leo Sun can be a challenging one to say the least. In many cases it will involve relationships either with authority figures or relationships of significance (partner or parent depending on your age). There will likely be great tension and power struggles. Also there will be a strong need to control your life and in some cases the desire to control other people’s lives as well. Pluto is all about evolution and transformation and during this phase of development, Sun in Leo will pursue their life goals delving deeply to confront what needs change or alteration. Others may disagree with the Leonian’s approach to life as they will also encounter inner power struggles, and outer manipulation. The Leonian will need a great degree of willpower to achieve their goals and stick to their convictions. The houses always show where the energy and life conditions are regulated, and the natal potential must be considered. An educated Astrologer can assist you to understand if you have these conditions taking place in your chart. Allow you great attributes to shine (determination, big heartedness, self-confidence, intelligence, courage, etc.), learn the lessons at hand and move forward. Enjoy the new year ahead! Happy Solar Return Leo! See Sun in Leo for more character traits. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

For many adults, particularly parents, the focus is “Look out for everyone else”. It used to be (but certainly changing) that women look after their children’s needs, cook meals and cleaned the house although today, most men certainly assist with these duties. Attitudes have changed and now it takes two to run a household. It has become more and more common for couples to share duties yet life has become increasingly more and more busy. This leaves little personal time. What have you done for yourself lately? You are important too! Do you make time just for you or you and your partner? Plan a date night as “couples” time is also important to ensure maintaining the deeper connections. Personally, make time to go golfing, for a bike ride or for a walk (just you). Don’t let everything else take priority over you. Make plans for you and just for you. Relaxation is important to your overall well-being. The rest of the family will benefit from it too. If making money is taking priority, what expense can be eliminated so you can back off with work just a little? Don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Worry, concern, and anxiety cause disease. Look after you. Enjoy life. Let go and just be. Change your attitude if this is what is required. Step back and reflect on what you need and what you do not. Relax, find solitude and enjoy your special life! Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

We will only explore a couple of transiting aspects to the natal Sun, as this post could go deep into all of the outer planets, from Saturn to Pluto extensively. First, we will look at T Saturn which will be in its retrograde cycle until Nov 4/23. It moves into direct motion at 0° Pisces and will travel from 0° to 19° by early 2025 then moving again into retrograde. The retrograde cycles of Saturn work in a favourable manner. T Saturn is quincunx those with their N Sun within the corresponding degrees. Saturn often speaks of the past & life, moving very slowly but gradually building as we move out of situations that require our attention. With the quincunx, you need to make adjustments. This will be when you take a closer look at your objectives and the desire to make personal adjustments. You may feel limited and restricted as you maneuver your way through some adversities. This can cause a hindrance as you try to do what you want to do. Hard work is always required with Saturn’s influence, but its rewards can also create solid foundations that have the potential to last a long period of time. There may be conflicts with those in authority, especially those that do not recognize the effort you have put into your work. There may be high expectations which seem to create disparity between what those in authority may want and what you may wish to accomplish. Perhaps you wish to do things your way knowing that the best results are achievable when you take a leading role, but they disagree with your way of doing things. When Saturn is in its retrograde cycle, your efforts to achieve are more effective and things run smoother, but constant effort and hard work are always part of the picture. Wednesday, we will look at Pluto’s influence on Sun in Leo. See our recent post for Sun in Leo characteristics. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

Have an honest look at the way you represent yourself. This may be the way you express yourself in public, to family or friends or even on a deeper scale with yourself. Be totally honest and respectful with yourself. Do you like who you are? Are you moving in a preferred direction with your personal growth? Is there room for change or are you satisfied with the true you? An honest reflection often reveals a preference for some change, maybe very minor. When we make change we feel better about ourself because we have grown and the feeling of control. There is always work to be done (we are human), but honesty is what is required to move forward. Do not make changes because of others’ expectations. Make a change because you have personal reasons to do so. Live according to your wants and goals. You might not need to make many changes when you look at your life from that perspective. Honest contemplation is important. Do not jump on a whim. Being reflective can take time. If you don’t like what you see, make the changes that will make you more comfortable with who you are. Remember “who you wish you were” is already a part of who you are. You would not recognize those qualities or traits unless they were already a part of your true identity. Maybe the change needed is letting your true light shine without concern of what others may think. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

The Sun transits from the sign of Cancer (a Cardinal, Water sign) into the sign of Leo (a Fixed, Fire sign) on July 22, 2023. There is a change from the caregiver, warmhearted, gentle individual Cancer to the big hearted, loyal, dignified, and strong character energy of Leo. Leonians are motivated by the need to help and the feeling that they often know what the best approach to take is when action is needed. Leonians are strong leaders who dream big, often exaggerating the positive potential. This all comes from the heart (ruled by Leo). A Leonian knows what it takes to advance in life and is willing to work towards their objectives. They are attracted to the finer things in life like achievements, nice homes, luxury items and larger bank accounts. These they feel can get them what they want, which in many cases is recognition from their peers for their achievements. Leonians do not always like to admit that they have failed but once they get past their egos, they will take full responsibility and do what is necessary to move in the required direction. They can be conceited in certain circumstances and truly feel as though they have an important role to play in the lives of those around them. In many cases, this is true. Leonians that are evolved have an inner code which they are loyal too and must live up to. They have strong morals and are quite aware, especially after the fact, of the effect they have on others; therefore, their objectives are sincere and noble. Never accuse them of egoic intensions and always show them appreciation for their efforts. This will ensure you have their attention in a positive way. They need a pat on the back and appreciate affection. Leonians are quite willing to give back where needed. They are kindhearted with good intensions. In our next astrology post on July 24, we will discuss some of the 2023 aspects related to those with their Sun in Leo. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.
