If we travel to less developed areas of the world we learn to appreciate the things we take for granted. There is so much upheaval around our world and people struggle to survive let alone flourish. We complain about the price of our food (justifiably) yet in some areas there is no food to buy, at any price. We complain about our wages and the cost of living forgetting the state of the world at large. Some complain about their health care not recognizing it is nonexistent in other areas of the world. Not to diminish our needs, but perhaps we can stop paying such close attention to what we think is missing in our life and perhaps appreciate what is there. We in the developed world live gifted lives. We can help those in more challenging situations e.g. volunteer, teach, donate, fundraise, etc. It is important to be concerned and show compassion and understanding (as best we can).

At the time of writing this post (March 2023) transiting Neptune is 24° Pisces. This trine to the Ascendant giving a 5° orb of influence will apply to those with their Sun in the later degrees of Cancer or Scorpio. T Neptune’s energies in its natural ruling sign of Pisces flow well. Neptune and Pisces are often linked to spirituality and the mystical alignment. It is said to be the final stage of evolution depending on the spiritual growth of the individual in question. Some Pisces people can be very intuitive and even considered psychic while those of the lower vibrations can have issues with alcohol and drugs. Facing hard cold facts is often not an easy task for those with strong Pisces or heavy aspects to Neptune in their chart. Much depends on how the individual decides to relate to life’s experience. Some have strong musical or acting abilities especially if the 5th house is involved or the 12th which often also suggests psychic inclinations. When Neptune (planet of vision and spiritual enlightenment) is working through the lens of the trine aspect the door can open for such insight if the individual is so inclined. This is often likely as both Scorpio and Cancer are very attuned to this vibration. Trines in general indicate easy flow and opportunities although this usually works better when a person decides to be engaged with the energies. Trines can release positive energies on their own but it is always suggested that we take advantage of the energy they provide. Those that are musically inclined can also receive intuitive feedback at this time and reach deeper realms of their musical abilities. Inspiration is often strong although the aspects natally to the Ascendant will speak much clearer on this potential. An experienced Astrologer can help with this. Neptune is about creativity and insight into the mystical side of life. Putting meditation techniques into practice will work wonders. Dreams can be quite vivid and reveal themes that are taking hold in your life. For those needing therapy, this can be a good time to reach out for assistance. Use these energies to enhance your world as these energies do not happen often. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

Each of us has had troubles in life. Why then do you feel uncomfortable about making decisions, believing in yourself, taking the next step? Why do you fall into the grips of self-defeating ideologies? Many people seek confidence from outside sources but this must come from within. Confidence is a building process. It does not happen overnight. It has taken our lifetime to reach our current state and it can take time and patience to start a new building process. Step one is to recognize that the only one that can truly help you is you. Others can help plant seeds but ultimately it is up to you to nurture the germination and growth. Outside influences can and will influence you but you are the one that decides to hold on to what took place or to learn from the experience and release the energies. To hold on and own an experience can and will influence your happiness and peace. Identifying what you are holding on to can be your step two. Do not allow past experiences to stop you from moving forward and living life to its fullest. Holding on to past experiences includes holding on to your attitude and expectations created from these experiences. You are meant to learn from experiences but not meant to take up residence there. You can’t ignore or pretend that events did not happen. Ignoring is giving the event energy. You are adding to this because you are still thinking about these matters through you effort to ignore. Accept, process and then release. Move on and be in the moment. You are not your thoughts; you are the one listening to them. The mind is much like a computer, and it only holds what you program into it. Be patient with yourself. With continued effort you will see yourself through difficult lessons. The key is to recognize non-productive thoughts. Remain steadfast in your practice and believe in yourself. Remember the universe, God, life ….call it whatever you want…does not judge what you focus on, it just provides more of like energy. Focus on lacking and you will feel as though life is lacking. Focus on abundance and life will be abundant. The choice is yours. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

While writing this post, Saturn is transiting the later degrees of Aquarius. On March 7/23 T Saturn moves into Pisces. While T Saturn is in Aquarius it squares anyone with their natal Ascendant in the later degrees of Scorpio or Taurus. While in Pisces, it will square anyone with their Ascendant in Sagittarius and Gemini. Check the degree of T Saturn and compare to the degree of your natal Ascendant. The two energies of Saturn and Pisces do not always gel well. Saturn is not in its fall or detriment, but Saturn has to do with reality and facts while Pisces is rather spiritual, sensitive, and altruistic. In many cases Pisces does not do well with hard cold facts. As you can imagine Saturn has its eye on the material world and Pisces wants nothing more than to merge with the unseen or “feel” rather than intellectualize. The beauty of Saturn moving into Pisces is its energies will bring out what is clear and concise, although not without some distaste, especially when it is in square aspect. When Saturn is square to the Ascendant it is time to get to the facts of what you want to change or which way you might want to move ahead in your life. The Ascendant is quite personal and can be tied with goals and the way you define yourself in public. Saturn will make you review who you are internally and how you represent yourself on the outside world. Struggles will be evident and although you might not like all of what you see, now may be the time to make some significant changes. If you have Scorpio as the Ascendant, most likely there will be some deep inner reflection and the surfacing of parts of your outer personality that you feel might need change in direction. Perhaps you have been too reserved or too much has been held in. Now you need to bring things to the surface that have been waiting to reveal themselves. Of course, with Scorpio rising there will always be a part of you that remains a secret. Not everything needs to be revealed. T Saturn will likely be in the 3rd or 4th house so changes in communication techniques, everyday experience or within the home and family might be part of the process. If a Gemini Ascendant (in effect early spring of 2023 when transiting Saturn now in Pisces makes a square to your Gemini Ascendant) you may find that your style of communication may need some tweaking. Perhaps you decide that you want to learn to listen more closely to others or make plans to stick with your decisions. A detailed look into the natal chart will help define how these energies might affect you and the best route to take during these important aspects. Please do not comment on this post.

This is the perfect day, no matter how it may look at the moment. You are here and alive! When you get up, look into the mirror and smile. Begin your day that way. Set the mood right at the beginning. Be happy, be grateful, be friendly, be honest, be open minded, be you! Look around as you go through your day. Pay attention to the nature that surrounds you, to the people, to the experience in the moment. Life has lessons. Accept them with open arms, no matter how challenging they may seem. The greater the challenge, the deeper the lesson. Appreciate those around you. Thank them in your own way for being in your life, even the ones that create lessons. Know that you are loved. Remember to show yourself love. If you don’t like what you see today, make the necessary changes. Remember you are a masterpiece in progress. Live life fully. Decide to be happy.

On February 18, 2023, the Sun moved into the mutable, water sign of Pisces. See our post from February 20 for Piscean traits. https://holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/50390599-sun-in-pisces-february-18-2023?siteId=126690493&locale=en-US" target="_blank">https://holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/50390599-sun-in-pisces-february-18-2023?siteId=126690493&locale=en-US At the time of this post, Neptune is at the mid twenty-degree range in Pisces. For those with their Sun in Pisces and close to these degrees, you will be experiencing the conjunction of this powerfully psychic and inspirational planet although it can also be quite illusive at times. There may be a lot of self-analyses going on and questioning of which path to take. There may be a high influx of psychic experiences for those so inclined. Pay particular attention to the dream state and push meditation practices particularly during this transit as the experience may be quite extraordinary. If there are other indicators in the natal chart along with this transits, you may feel lost, questioning which way you should be moving or which goals you should be aiming for. Neptune can color the imagination and make things rather vague. If this applies to you, perhaps waiting out this transit and letting these energies subside may be the answer. T Pluto is also making a sextile (an opportunity aspect) for those with their Sun in the final degrees of Pisces. Pluto has been in Capricorn for a long time and those with their Sun in Pisces will have felt its powerful effects in their lives. There is nothing halfway about Pluto and its action is not only to change life’s conditions but to bring an end to anything that no longer serves a viable purpose and to transform it completely. Pluto (although it can be quite challenging) takes us from a path that needed changing and over time we will recognize how its influence actually pushed us in the right direction. It may not be easy and may be hard to understand in the beginning but over time it explains itself. Happy solar return to all those with their Sun in Pisces.

What you wish you could be and what you can visualize is attainable or you would not be able to envision it. Believe it is a possibility, then take steps towards that realization. You are more than what is seen on the surface. What are you truly capable of doing? Don’t put up mental barriers. Believe in yourself to make things happen. The first step is often the most difficult and once you begin moving forward, you feel more comfortable because what you once thought that was unattainable is beginning to take shape. Take small steps. Its okay to start over if you slip. Its also okay to make alterations along the way. “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. It takes time to manifest. Slow but steady wins the race. Don’t ever neglect your own needs but work for the greater good of all involved. Know that it is waiting for you and look at it as though it has already manifested. This is your life.

On the weekend, the Sun moved from the fixed, air sign of Aquarius into the mutable, water sign of Pisces (February 18, 2023). Pisces unlike Aquarius is not about the thinking process (Aquarius is an air sign); it is about feeling things out. Pisces is about letting go and having faith in the process, believing in service to the higher realms and allowing the mystical to step into your life. Pisces is the most sensitive and gentle sign of the Zodiac. It has concerns for the underdog, swims in the unconscious realms of reality and is highly attuned to alignment with the unseen. There is a mystical quality to many with this water sign. There is also a tendency to look for the best in others and to avoid any hard conflicting aggressive life experiences. Some Pisceans resort to escapism when faced with less than desirable experiences. They can turn to drugs or alcohol to soften reality. Others turn to music and the arts finding relief and peace in these avenues of expression and release. Pisces can be soft, sensitive, caring, romantic, gentle, and kind individuals when their emotional response is what is required. They truly care. Some find it difficult to separate the feelings of others from their own feelings. They can take on other people’s hardships, wishing only to help. Piscean life’s lessons often include finding their mission, creating a sense of self-worth and a meaning to their lives that goes beyond self. Pisces has been linked to the purity in spirituality and we can all learn valuable life lessons through this often misunderstood sign. It is very important to take into consideration the rest of the chart when defining the character traits associated with this very sensitive sign. They believe they just can’t help how they feel.

How often to you take a deep look within? We are continually affected by life circumstances and may unknowingly take on qualities we consciously may not want to. Perhaps we have become resentful or jealous and compared ourselves to others. An honest look is required to maintain growth and to understand ourselves. We can easily get caught up in survival and forget to live. Change is rarely easy but being honest and seeing things as they truly are is the first step. Reacting instead of responding mindfully to life can cause us tarnish and we have to remember to polish away what does not belong. Although we may not particularly like what we see, the beautiful you is still there under the disguise of our reaction to events. Hold yourself accountable but do not forget to forgive yourself too. Stop identifying with these qualities. Recognize that you have become aware of them. Without this recognition you cannot change them. The self-study can be hard. Once we decide to make changes the process becomes easier. A little push is often all that is needed. No one is perfect. Be gentle and patient with yourself. If you stumble, simply get back up and continue on. One step at a time. Recognize where you came from and the progress you have already made to this point. Be proud of your achievements and believe in yourself. You can do this! Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

On February 5 2023, we will be experiencing a Full Moon at 16° Leo. The Full Moon is the culmination point which began approximately 6 months ago when we experienced the New Moon in Leo. It is a time to harvest; a time to reap the rewards of the hard work we have completed. If we did not work at our focus, we may now recognize the need to let go or begin again. Due to Leo’s influence, watch for being overly dramatic about the outcomes regardless if it is promising or not. Don’t make it all about you, as pride and ego can play a major role in the outcome. A Full Moon is a high energy placement and in our minds we can see things running out of control. Focus on the facts. Higher crime rates, more hospital admissions, more violence and a greater potential for aggression can take hold during this time. Whatever you do, do it from the heart as the heart rules Leo. Leo knows what is best for self and often feel they also know what is best for others. Watch for wanting to take control for others. Look after your own needs first then see how much help others want. There are leadership abilities here if the full moon is making an aspect in your chart. You likely will do well when orchestrating an outcome, but make sure those you are helping want it. T Uranus is in square to the Leo Full Moon at 15° in Taurus. Squares can be challenging forcing us into action and making us work harder for our goals. Uranus is about change and disruption to the norm. It is about the new and alternative action because there needs to be a shift. It is known as the awakener and will open your eyes to what is right in front of you. It will make suggestions for a new path but if you choose not to adhere to the advice then it can act in more aggressive manners. Its action can be sudden and unexpected but it clears away what no longer suits your growth. Use its energies wisely and take note of what it is indicating to you. Please do not comment on this post.

We must give credibility to the importance of meditation. Many of our readers are on a spiritual journey and want to advance their internal connection. When we practice meditation regularly, not out of commitment, but out of the shear desire to find alignment with our inner self and connection with source, the passages open and are more easily accessible. Without meditation the evolution is not hindered but does not move as easily or readily as it does with a quiet mind. Meditation is the key to our inner evolution and our connection to what exists beyond the day-to-day. If growth is our goal, we owe it to ourselves to utilize this practice. We are here for earthly lessons and to benefit mankind in some way, even if we find that it is only in a somewhat limited capacity. Life continually changes and as we grow into our true selves much more begins to unfold. We do not know where we will end up as far as spiritual enlightenment goes but we can assist in its development. Meditation is a tool for this. Please do not comment on this post.

Squares are considered challenging aspects, but on a positive note, they often force us into action. Something needs to be done or changed to alleviate the stress or obstacles. We need to change situations and find solutions as the stress factor is too significant to ignore. When the Midheaven (MC) is involved, it often relates to our occupation or career although it can also speak of our status, goals, aspirations and path ahead. Changes will or need to take place in these areas. We are not at the mercy of life but we know that we need to shift or we may become at the mercy of forced change. Perhaps a career path is no longer available. Sometimes we can do something about it and sometimes we just need to adjust. In many cases we get warnings that change is needed. Other times these changes can be sudden and we may not be prepared for what unfolds. This is especially true if Pluto is also involved. This square may indicate that changes are in store with our marriage and life’s status is moving in a new direction particularly if the 7th house is involved. You may be able to make changes without the relationship ending and other times the end is permanent. If there is an opposition to this placement, there likely is someone else involved. It is important to realize that Uranus although it seems impulsive, the changes are required. Over time we may come to the realization that our new path is far better. Sometimes we need to role with the punches and sometimes we need to fight for our rights. In either case, change and an awakening takes place. It may take some time to realize the benefits but they will eventually be understood. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.
