Emotional baggage can be exhausting to overcome but worse to carry around unresolved. Our minds must process the information and to do so we must face whatever events have taken place. Our minds can play with the information creating interference and often, our minds make the matters much worse than they actually were. Our minds, over time, can also build on the information and exaggerate the original experience. Many of us have experienced events that have been very emotional and depleting. They can cause emotional wounds that run very deep. With most events in life, we have little control over the actual event, but we do have control over how we process and response to them. Do we accept or do we fight the process? It is essentials to separate ourselves from these events. They are not a part of us. They are not who we are. We do not own these events. Letting go or accepting can be one of the most challenging tasks we face, especially when it comes to losing loved ones for example. We certainly need time to process and to adjust but acceptance is essential. Acceptance is required to move forward with our lives. We will continue our focus on emotion wounds on April 14.

The progressed chart is a wonderful tool in Astrology to tell us the story of how we are evolving in our personal life. The progressed chart, along with transits and the solar chart, are the three main factors in determining how the energies of the planets will unfold over a specific period. We can go back or forward to any time we wish to analyse. (The solar chart is a chart drawn up for any specific year from birthday to birthday). Advanced Astrologers can also use the midpoints to obtain more information when delineating events and timing. Solar arc is yet another tool for the advanced Astrologers. The P. Sun, Midheaven and Ascendant as well as the house cusps move approximately one degree of arc each year. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars all have a three-year affect in relation to the natal chart if they are making aspects, while the outer planets move much slower, and their orb of influence is very tight. Some Astrologers use a 10–15-minute orb of influence with the outer planets to the natal positions. You can read the progressed chart without including natal planets. Transits to the progressed positions can be utilized for information. Each day of life after birth in a progressed chart equals one year of life eg your chart will move 30 days forward at age 31. The first year of life in a progressed chart is reflected by the actual first day of life. There are specific intervals in accordance with the aspects used in Astrology (solar arc) eg age 30 all the planets are in semi-sextile and at age 45 all the planets are in semi-square, etc. This is another form of delineation used by advanced Astrologers. The P. Sun, Midheaven and Ascendant are very significant in the progressed chart, just as they are in the natal chart. The angular points (MC-Midheaven, ASC-Ascendant, DC-Descendant and IC-Immum Coeli) are activity areas. They are considered action points and are very important indicators as to when activity will take place. These angular points become active when a transiting planet is nearing the degree and becoming direct to the angular point. Activity or intensity increases the closer they are to being direct (most intense when at the exact same degree). eg having the Midheaven at 14 degree 27 minutes Gemini, the transiting planet becomes exact at that degree of 14 degrees 27 minutes Gemini. The progressed planets when forming a conjunction to one of these angular house cusps will play a significant role for that particular year, and the energies will mix with the sign on the cusp of the house. The P. Moon moves approximately one degree per month. When activated, this influential period often suggests a significant change on some level and/or some emotional interaction. The P. Moon can also be used as a timer in Astrology. The Moon’s influence would be 3 months: one degree approaching, one degree while direct and one degree while separating. Each degree equals one month of time. eg when a planet is at 12 degrees in a sign, the P. Moon will be active from 11-13 degrees of that sign or in aspect forming an angle to this placement in the chart. The progressed chart has similarities to the natal chart but differs with its orb of influence as it is not as wide. Progressions are experiences that are on a more internal level, but they can still activate energies on an external level. The Sun and Moon and angular points are very significant and can affect the individual on an energetic and event-oriented manner. All the major aspects hold relevance just as they do in the natal chart, (Conjunction, Sextile, Square, Trine, Quincunx) although as mentioned they use a smaller orb of influence. The minor aspects are also important but again you must use a much smaller orb of influence than the orb used in a natal chart. You can have the inner progressed planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) affecting the natal chart indicating activity or influence, as well as transits influencing the progressed chart. The outer planets can have a profound effect if they become active or once again touch off an aspect in the natal chart through retrograde. The progressed chart defines how the individual is developing in life through the movement of the planets. Progressions is a wonderful tool to help define how we are evolving in our personal lives.

Any transit of Pluto is considered a powerful influence. Do you have T. Pluto conjunct our Ascendant? Since the Ascendant is opposite the seventh house cusp, this transit will affect you in a personal way but may also affect your relationship with your significant other. The people around you may influence you on a whole new level during this conjunction and because of this plus the tendency for Pluto to go beneath the surface (and in this case about who you are – the Ascendant), these people may be instrumental in creating changes in your life. Pluto pushes you to go beneath the surface and during this phase, you may uncover elements of your life that you have subconsciously hidden from yourself. There may be qualities you do not wish to acknowledge and have kept under wraps. This may involve issues from the past hidden because of fear or discomfort. Some past experiences can be very challenging but keeping these under wraps can cause problems that seem more and more insurmountable as time passes. They can affect you on a very personal level. Pluto may now bring these issued to the surface so that you will have to deal with them in an appropriate way and on a beneficial level as getting to the bottom of them will be healing and open the door for a clearer understanding and relationship with yourself. It is a time to get to know yourself and to become more in touch with how life events have affected you. Pluto moves very slowly and if you have this conjunction, you will never have it again. It is always suggested that you deal with these life issues to rid yourself of their shadows. This can have profound effects on your overall development. You may have thought that there were some aspects of yourself you considered malicious, or some actions taken that you consider unforgiveable. Now you can bring these issues to the surface and see them for what they truly are. You may find that these past characteristics or events are not as unforgiveable as you were imagining. Dealing with them offers the opportunity to put events in their proper place and to change your opinions and accurately reflect events without shame; you can put them into proper perspective. Pluto often works in subconscious ways, and your actions or thoughts may seem rather obsessive or even uncontrollable. If things seem to be uncontrollable, now would be the time to seek professional assistance. Sometimes these thoughts and ideas can fester on subconscious levels and if we do not deal with them appropriately, they may expand. Deal with life challenges when they first happen to rectify the situation before it has the energies to grow into something bigger than it is. When you bury or ignore things, they tend to grow in intensity and can become monsters. Remember, it is only ego that sees things in this way, and you can detach from these opinions and deal with the matters at hand simply by not identifying with them. Many relationships go through huge changes during this period which can last up to three years. Pluto moves very slowly through the heavens-about one degree per year. The relationships that have stood the test of time and are healthy will not suffer irreversible damage. A transformation is at hand and identifying any serious issues that have been swept under the carpet should now be brought into the open. Let the healing begin. Pluto packs a punch, and you may experience upheavals during its cycle. Disagreements and ego disruption are quite common. Much can be learned during this aspect, and you now can bring things to the surface and change anything that needs changing once and for all. The results of Pluto’s actions are quite final and what is put in place often changes things forever. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

Periodically throughout our journey we seem to be bombarded. No matter which way we turn challenging conditions come out of nowhere. These are tests of our beliefs, our resolve, and our commitment. If these cannot be challenged, how can they be worth having? Find solace in knowing they are real and worthy of our commitment. Events and emotions can feel overwhelming, and we may want to let go or run. We understand the process and even though we believe that good things are just around the corner, we can feel we lack the determination to make it though. Part of us says push your way through and another part says to give in or let go. Letting go is not giving in. It takes faith to let go and allow. If we have done all we can then let go and let God/Source/Higher Energy (call this whatever is comfortable for you). There are some individuals who completely live their lives this way recognizing that life happens the way it does for a reason, and we are not at the mercy of life,( although it feels that way). We must let go to connect with our higher resources which includes the one within. This is not a weakness. The leap of faith takes strength. Reaching out and recognizing our connection with source is a valuable lesson. However, recognizing that what we need to learn may not always be easy or pleasant. Don’t forget we think with a limited earthly mind and we do not understand because we can not conceive beyond our mind. Life will take us down many different roads and some are very difficult. We can run up against what appears to be unscalable walls. When the wall is too high to climb, we can find ways to tear it down or be lifted over it. We should not be afraid or ashamed to ask for help but if we do, we must be open to the answers that come to us. The answers may not always be what we expect or want.

Mars moves into the sign of Pisces on April 16, 2022. It will remain in Pisces until May 26. During this time, it can make aspects to your natal chart and influence the general theme of this placement aligning it with other factors in the birth chart. Look primarily to the major aspects (conjunction, opposition, square) as these will have the greatest impact especially if you have other indicators in your chart that also speak to the energies. Mars is the planet of action and pushes us to move ahead in our endeavors. Mars can be aggressive in its pursuit and will when required fight for what is worth fighting for. It is our driving force and when stimulated in our charts can instigate a push in the direction of the energies of the houses that are being triggered. It is hard to ignore Mars and although its action can be rather grandiose its energies push us out of complacency. When in the sign of Pisces, Mars will act in a gentle manner, and service on some level is indicated. It can be a champion of the underdog and may fight for its rights. Mars in Pisces needs an outlet as Pisces can be rather complacent at times. Finding a cause or using the energies in an inspirational manner are positive outlets. This can be a creative outlet for those with an artistic nature and the psychic energies are flowing easy. When Mars meets up with T Neptune in mid-May the energies of Neptune (mystical realms) can be enhanced. Psychic potential can flourish for those so inclined. Prophetic dreams and visualization can manifest especially while in the act of meditation. If this energy of Mars and Neptune touches your chart especially by conjunction the house placement will be of primary importance. If you have this placement in the first house you may find ways to advance your personal cause and strive towards making this a better place for you and for those around you. Artistic avenues of expression can be explored if this placement lines up with your Venus or it is found in the fifth house. You might also find a fascination and strong sexual feelings if the fifth or eighth houses are involved. Magnetism and charisma are classic with Mars and Neptune. Due to the rather quick movement of Mars although retrograde movement can slow down its advancement (October 29, 2022, retrograde at 25degrees Gemini) you may want to push ahead without restraint. Indecisiveness during its conjunction with Neptune is often prominent and although it is suggested that you use the energies of Mars and to not waste too much time re-evaluating, you still need to study if moving forward. Rushing is ill advised although inaction is not suggested either. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

Do life’s struggles never seem to cease? If you are not sure which way to turn, remember the darkest moment is always just before the dawn. Life’s circumstances always rebound and although the course we take is not always the course we had hoped for, our journey will transform us and teach us the lessons that we will need in our future. Deep down believe that there is nothing in life that you are not strong enough to or capable of overcoming unless, of course, you give up and you allow your attitude to defeat you. If you want to succeed, giving up is not an option. If you can recognize ego as the constant nagging voice that keeps you in your darkest moments, you can stop identifying with its message. Nothing can hurt us more than the relentless ego and we can get so lost in its deceitful message. When we allow ourselves to bask in the sorrows of ego’s message, we identify with it and making it our own. It is then that we become blind and numb to the truth. We become overwhelmed because we forget how to turn it off and are bombarded with ego’s constant message that drowns hope. Recognize negativity. Put ego in its place. Channel your thoughts in a different direction. No matter how difficult the lesson learn it and then force yourself to see the positive in the lessons. In the beginning, it is hard to find that one small positive spark but if you look deep enough, even in the bleakest moment, there is a shred of light. There will be dark moments for all of us. All change can be difficult if we do not let go of the past to move into the present. Our positive decisions can open doors of opportunity unlike anything we have ever know. It is frightening to release our grip on the past even if the things and people of our past no longer serves us. We do have the strength to let go so that we can experience now. Have faith in the process and yourself. Know that we are expanding and growing especially during the most uncomfortable circumstances. Our attitude forms a large portion of our reality. If we focus on those things that we do not enjoy or like, our life will feel as though it is heavy and unenjoyable. If we focus on the blessings and joys in our life, life will feel expansive and joyful. When we change our attitude, we change our circumstances. Change is inevitable. If we fight it, we create discord. We will survive and be stronger and more resilient after each life lesson. Stay true to yourself, not your ego. Please do not comment on this post.

An aspect between T. Pluto and N. Mars can be a very potent one. Are Pluto and Mars are linked in your natal chart? If so, by what aspect? This will help determine the transiting affects on your life. Check which house T. Pluto is in as well as its natal position. You should check if there are other transits affecting Mars or planetary links that closely resemble this configuration such as Pluto with Uranus as this will help to define the intensity. Also check which house N. Mars is in. As mentioned, this is a powerful aspect. Pluto and Mars together often indicate a warning signal and if you also have at least two other planetary links that also point in the same direction, (Uranus links) you will have to watch for haste in action, especially dealing with motorized vehicles and machinery. Potential danger lies in these areas but is certainly avoidable when caution is exercised. This is a high energy transit that must be contained or expressed in a vigorous although gentle manner. If you do not release these energies, there is potential of becoming victim to aggressive behaviour. Do not place yourself in immediate danger and avoid arguments. This transit can provide you with the drive to accomplish your ambitions, even in the face of adversity, especially if the N. Sun is involved. You have great potential to overcome and if you harness this powerful aspect, you can succeed (which under normal conditions you would most likely not even think about pursuing). There is a lot of drive and energy linked to this transit. You can dig beneath the surface on inner turmoil that may have been dormant. This is the time when you can bring this to the surface and deal with it in an appropriate manner. Mars is linked to the ego, and Pluto can be a destructive power urge (also linked to ego). Be careful with how you approach things during this transit. Much opposition to your plans can arise if you handle this energy in an ego-oriented fashion. You will, however, be able to present your case with much enthusiasm and have an ability to get your point across in a powerful and direct manner. In some cases, nonetheless, you can become quite subversive in your approach. Pluto tends to transform any things it touches but can be very subtle in its actions. As time passes, you will begin to figure out how its energy has affected your life. You can do great things with this transit. You accomplish more with less effort and if you put effort into your plans and objectives, the odds of a favourable result or a change in conditions are quite strong. As mentioned, this transit has potential for difficult conditions although unlikely unless several aspects in the chart correlate with this transit of Pluto and Mars. Be a little more careful while under its influence, especially when T. Pluto goes direct and the aspect to Mars becomes direct. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

Today, April 1, 2022, we are experiencing a New Moon at 11 degrees 30 minutes Aries. This is the sign of aggressive action, adventure and the stimulating energies associated with moving towards a path with vigor. This sign produces a strong personal belief that we can do anything once we put our minds to it. For those that this New Moon influences their chart especially by conjunction or opposition this can be a time to push forward into areas (determined by the house position) that need action. Two to Three degrees applying and two degrees separating is the recommended orbs of influence. Aries is considered a “me first” sign as it pursues whatever it deems necessary and, in some way, enables personal growth. This is not to say that this is a sign that is selfish. It implies that this sign is self-motivated and self-directed and if this also affects others in a positive sense then it is necessary to push towards this resolution or destination point. Aries does not wish to wait and will be the first to move ahead. With this in mind, it is important that those affected do not jump into action without some prior study and perhaps listening to others. T. Mercury is also in the sign of Aries at 11 degrees and 44 minutes making a conjunction to this New Moon’s position. Mercury always has to do with the processing of information. It offers potential for an amalgamation of ideas with the emotional impact of the Moon along with the personal interest and goals associated with the Sun. Forethought and planning the path ahead is essential for progress. T. Uranus makes a semi-sextile to this position of the New Moon suggesting being in the right place at the right time for a favourable outcomes although action must be taken in order for this to manifest. Though not part of this positioning we thought we should point out the North Node’s position in Taurus at 24 degrees making a square to Venus and Saturn at this time. The North Node also makes a wide square to Mars. Venus is about peace, tranquility and love while Saturn is about discipline and structure and Mars is about action and aggression. These energies are stimulated by the North Node which is associated with the path ahead. They speak of the energies in place with what is unfolding in our world. These transits affect everyone if the degrees match the birth chart. The transits also affect different areas of the world. We can expect some instability, uncertainty and a need for peaceful resolutions to have an impact in the coming weeks. Let’s focus on resolution and a stop to the aggression so that peace can surface. Mars and Saturn will most certainly have their say in what unfolds too. Please do not comment on this post.

Do you catch yourself in the act of avoidance? Are you somehow feel out of alignment? Some events seem just too difficult to digest. We take a protective approach by trying to ignore or push aside some issues rather than dealing with them and hope that they will disappear or at the very least lessen in intensity. We eventually realize that they return again and again until we face them. Facing challenges can be trying but running away from them resolves nothing. We must face each hurdle, learn and move on. Ignoring an issue only invites a larger, harder lesson in the future. While dealing with the issue, we usually recognize that the problem is not near as difficult as it appeared. The mind tends to exaggerate and blows issues out of proportion. Confronting our fears always lessens our anxiety although the ego would like us to think otherwise. How often, for example, do people worry about health issues and become completely distracted because of their focus on “maybes” and “what ifs”? Many will spend countless days worrying about something and then discover that there was nothing wrong. The stress of worry can manifest many symptoms and if not kept in check, manifests true “dis-ease”. Power of suggestion can plant seeds of worry. With the continual, repetitive suggestions that we are bombarded with in all types of media for example, we can develop physical conditions and believe that the feelings we are experiencing are real. If left long enough, we experience prolonged agitation and nervous anxiety builds and then we can become obsessed with our focus. If we take control of our thoughts and focus, we can ease many situations before they get going. Sticking with our health example, if we feel that there is something physically wrong, a physician should be consulted. If there is a health issue, it can be dealt with immediately. If there is not a health issue, you will be reassured that everything is fine and remove the worry. Many of our concerns are ego generated and once this is acknowledged, the conditions will usually fade spontaneously. Know the strength of your mind. It can interfere on many levels and physical ailments are just one example. On the other hand, our mind can be our greatest ally. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

How do planets activate activity in our chart? We are going to use Pluto as our example. Let’s say that Transiting Pluto has been in conjunction with your natal Venus for some time now. Pluto moves very slowly through the heavens. It can affect your Venus for up to three years. Pluto on Venus suggests transformation in your love life or changes directly related to your finances. There are other translations, but we will stick to the predominate, obvious few. The house placement of Venus and the sign that it is in will make a difference on what energies and areas of life as well as how the energies of Venus are moved forward, through Pluto’s push for transformation. The placement of T. Pluto must also be taken into consideration. We will not discuss the meaning of T. Pluto on Venus in detail. What we are concentrating on is when this aspect will be enhanced and when to expect activity. The closer T. Pluto moves towards being direct (when it is less than one degree in separation and moving towards the specific degree Venus has in your chart) the stronger the energies become. What activates this transit? It might become activated when Pluto is directly on Venus but an inner planet most likely will activate these energies. The inner planets that activate energies or stimulate action are Mars, the Sun and at times Uranus when direct. You can often use Uranus to pinpoint the timing for events within a couple of days. The progressed Moon also stimulates activity when close to being direct. The progressed Moon has an influence for a period of three months, when in aspect, but the closer it is to being direct the stronger its energies. E.g. If Venus is 15 degrees Capricorn in your chart, as Pluto begins to affect Venus, you will notice some activity, at least on a mental level. When Pluto is about 1 degree or less of being direct its energies will grow in intensity. If T. Mars or the T. Sun is moving towards 15-degrees Capricorn, or in opposition to this degree or making a square to this degree, it will stimulate activity and bring out the potential of what these energies suggest. Verifying contact from the Sun or Mars will help you to pinpoint the potential for activity. You may be able to narrow down the time to a or two weeks. As mentioned, the progressed Moon especially by conjunction will often activate any planet it contacts, and you can often use this as a tool for pinpointing timing as well.

Take a moment to sit and enjoy watching youngster. Notice their behaviour and attitudes. Do these behaviours and attitudes in any way match yours? The first thing we usually notice with children is that they are living in the moment. They are not concerned about what tomorrow brings. As a matter of fact, they are not even aware that tomorrow will exist. If they are content playing, sharing with a friend or simply watching and taking in what you might be doing, they ARE happy and living in the here and now. If their attention is somehow swayed from their playing, if their friend stops playing with them or you change your focus from them to something else, under normal circumstances, the child quickly shifts their attention to something else without missing a beat. They move on to something new. Whatever draws their attention is what holds them in the moment. They may become upset if they lose a toy, but usually only for a very short time and as soon as their attention in directed elsewhere, they forget their losses and move on. They are innocent in their actions and do not hold grudges. They are happy and content with whatever comes next, although they also show their dislike in what comes their way, but they adapt. Can you live this way? Do you dwell on those things that you have lost in life, or do you move forward? Do you adapt to life’s circumstances and move forward? Do you get stuck on “what used to be”? Do you have a difficult time moving in new directions? Throughout life, we suddenly lose people, opportunities and things happen which forces us to make changes. A new path or opportunity, however, will be in placed in front of us. We then will have to choose – will we follow this new opportunity and place our focus on life’s continually changing flow, or will we fight for what was and swim against the current causing struggles and exhaustion? We can become upset and depressed over what used to be or we can choose to move forward on our new route with enthusiasm. If we can learn to easily change directions and not fight our inevitable course, life flows and in many cases the rewards are recognized immediately. We should live as children and accept change when it comes, to move forward with little hesitation, especially when something is taken away from us or when someone has left us. Many can get caught up in the past and when life’s path shifts, we fight the changes that are inevitable. This unfortunately causes us to temporarily lose our direction. We cannot move forward until we have accepted and let go of the past. We can and eventually must leave our past where it belongs, in the past. Once we allow this to take place, we can move forward into the ever-changing moment. Learning to swim with the current and not struggling to swim against the current offers an easier route to change. Floating or swimming with the current allows us to flow through our lives more readily. We cannot change the current. It will flow where it will. Life will have its turbulent moments and each of us will experience our fair share. The direction we swim is always our choice. An ending is but a new beginning. Each new life experience builds from the previous ones. Our life’s current is continuous. Ride the wave. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

The Sun is in the sign of Aries, and since Mars is the ruler of this sign, we thought we would touch on Mars’ energies and give a brief explanation of the actions it can initiate as it transits through the Zodiac. Mars is the planet connected to vigorous and energetic action. It will control activity in your life when your natal Mars is stimulated through transit, or when it is the transiting planet activating an angle or planet in the birth chart. Mars is the activated force that helps us deal with aggression and pressures. The sign placement of your natal Mars will define how this energy is dealt with. The house placement of Mars will define the area of life that your energies are directed towards. Mars can be forceful and dynamic in its action. It can be the energy that provokes arguments and fights. Mars’ energies are often active in times of accidents and violence. Mars is linked to the masculine in your life and Mars, among other things, represents young men. It is powerfully connected to our sex drive, but much will depend on Mars’ natal sign. Mars in Scorpio, for example, can suggest a powerful sexual push as well as Mars in Aries. However, an Aries Mars may be a little more self-concerned and address the area of sex quite differently than Mars in Scorpio. Mars always needs an outlet and without proper release on some level, the energies it represents can become quite provoked or feel stifled. Mars is also strongly connected to our wants and need to succeed. Along with our Sun, Mars supplies us with the energy needed to achieve in life. Mars is connected to beginnings and initiations. Those individuals with a strong Mars placement will be the first to act, sometimes impulsively or without forethought. If, for example, Mars in Pisces could suggest that the individual is seeking spiritual enlightenment. If poorly aspected in the Chart, this person may seek to actively avoid challenging conditions or could act out in submissive ways. Much will depend on the overall condition of Mars and again its house location. When transiting Mars makes an aspect to a planet or angle in the natal chart, its energies last about one week due to its quick movement through the zodiac. The exact day, however, that it conjuncts a planet or angle can be used as a timer if other factors in the chart are pointing in a similar direction. Mars and Uranus are used as timing tools when outer transits are activating points and planets as does the progressed Moon and sometimes the T. Sun. If Mars is making a connection in the birth chart and goes retrograde, its energies will last longer. In general Mars’ energies will activate 5 to 7 degrees approaching a planet or angle and will begin to fade about 2 degrees separating. When Mars transits a house, it can activate this area of life creating new beginnings and fresh starts. At times, failure or endings of some sort or another is what is required to provoke productive action and open the door to a new beginning. Much will also depend on the sign that transiting Mars is moving through. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.
