The Grand Square involves at least four planets, two oppositions and four squares. The first and third planets are in opposition to one another, the second and fourth are in opposition to each other, while the first squares the second and the second squares the third and the third squares the fourth and the fourth squares the first. A strong Grand Square will see all of the four planets in the same mode, cardinal, fixed or mutable. If one or more of the planets do not fit into these criteria, it is considered a weak Grand Square. The closer the squares and oppositions are by degree to one another, the stronger the energies of the Grand Square. The Grand Square is considered a challenging aspect because of the general nature of these aspects. They often produce stress and inner tension which can work against the individual or offer a challenge that will require inner strength and determination to advance through these challenging life conditions. They can either become the stagnation in the lives of those under its influence or the motivating factor that has the potential of producing great strides forward. When the Grand Square gets activated through transit or progression, these individuals will feel as though they are being pulled in four directions indicated by the planets involved and the houses that the planets are found in. They may feel over-burdened and paralyzed by life’s conditions. There is usually a planet that forms a tight trine or sextile within the Grand Square, and the energies and house placement will often help unlock the potentials found within the framework of this configuration. This contained energy needs to find a release valve and this is often where the energies are released which if used properly can produce great results. These individuals often need to turn inward and find their own strength. Many feel as though they cannot rely on others to help them through life’s difficulties and therefore become stronger over time and very self-reliant. This is not to say that reaching out is a bad idea or that no one can assist them in their time of crisis, but many become reliant on themselves and motivate themselves forward conquering these intrusions in turn becoming stronger. Most people with challenging aspects find ways to use the energies in a helpful manner and they are often the ones that push ahead in life and make something out of themselves as time passes. If they can find a goal or spiritual purpose behind the difficulties at hand, they can make their way in a positive direction and rise above any difficulty that comes their way. The key is to know that they are not trapped and that there is always a way out, instead of beating their heads again the proverbial wall. They are never trapped unless they allow themselves to become so. There are many valuable lessons learned from challenging aspects found within the framework of the natal chart. We just need to address them accordingly and move through the hurdles often brought on through life’s experience. Please do not comment or present questions on our post.

The T-Square is an astrological configuration involving two or more planets in opposition with one another and both of these planets making a square to a third planet. This configuration can also involve the angles in the chart and all three planets or angles should be in the same mode. (Fixed, Mutable or Cardinal) They should not have an orb greater than 10 degrees from being direct and the closer the orb of influence to being direct, the stronger this configuration. (3degrees or less is considered a tight orb) The T-Square is considered weak if the planets are in different modes, or if one of the areas involved is one of the angles (Ascendant or Midheaven). The T-Square, although considered a challenging aspect, does provide its recipient with motivation and through applied effort will often produce viable results and the recipient should possess a general ability to achieve in life. As this configuration has three planets involved in the equation, when not expressed in its proper function, it becomes out of balance, leaning too much on one of the three directions. The focal planet which is the one receiving the squares is often too accentuated and one tends to put all the weight on the opposite direction of that planet. In other words, if the focal planet (the one receiving the two squares) is in the third house, we tend to focus our attention on the ninth house. The area of life, described by the focal planet, its sign and also its house position can either be used creatively or become a source of frustration. Using the energies of the focal planet accordingly is what is suggested. The T-Square needs activity in order to function well, so you have to use the energies of the focal planet in a creative manner. A T-Square used creatively is often found in the charts of very prosperous and up and coming individuals. It is often noted that the focal planet is the most dominant planet in the chart and must be used appropriately in a favorable manner in order to achieve. If not used properly it can become a thorn in the person’s side and often create conflict and struggle in a person’s life. It is suggested that the area opposite the focal planet needs to be developed in some way creating balance. Individuals with a Cardinal T-Square have a tendency to push through any type of crisis situation in their personal life and will need to find ways to balance and understand the needs of other people with the needs of their own. They will need to realize that other people have their own perspectives and agenda and are also capable of deciding which way they may wish to move on their own accord. The Cardinal T-Square operates in a similar fashion to the sign Aries. People with a Fixed T-Square operate similar to the sign Taurus and have strong willpower and determination to succeed and build up their strength over a period of time or concentrated thought and then plunge into action. They often need to find ways to release their energy constructively and also develop sensitivity towards other people’s needs. Those with a Mutable T-Square have similar qualities of Gemini and are adaptable, changeable, versatile and restless and are influenced greatly by those around them. They will need to find balance in the way that they rely on others and understand that they can rely on themselves more. These individuals also need to stay in one direction rather than changing their minds midway and moving on to something new. Please do not comment on this post. We do not receive notifications.

In our changing environment we have to adapt to life circumstances and push to live to our potential. Above all else, we need to live in accordance with our conscience. We have to do what we believe is right and not only do what is right for us. We also have to adapt to an attitude that what we choose to do has a positive influence on others. There are many self-righteous individuals in roles that affect the multitudes and how they conduct themselves in many ways affects us directly. It becomes far too easy to conduct ourselves in the same fashion as the example in front of us. As a result, it is imperative to be mindful of our actions and not to mirror what is in front of us. If there is an opportunity to right a wrong, should we take it? Are we undermining others if we attempt to change things for the betterment of the many? There is no worth to our values if we are not committed to them. Sometimes we need to make a stand and do what is right and just. Sometimes we, as a whole, can make changes that will in turn affect many and prove to be valuable in times to come. We are all affected by the actions of others which makes it imperative for influential individuals to keep the best interests of the whole in focus. Ego can be a tyrant. We have seen many examples of individuals in influential positions making decisions that tend to corruption where there should be integrity. Do not justify your actions because of other’s actions. We should be ruled by our hearts not by greed and self-importance. Should our own material gain be priority to those in need? Should our own material personal gain not factor in the good we can do for others? When we promote love and compassion with integrity and trustworthiness we will capture the hearts of others and these qualities will then surrounds us. It is up to each and every one of us to uphold our loving values in our own personal life and to stand by our truth and by doing so, we create a loving community around us.

The Full Moon occurring on January 27, 2020 is in the sign of Leo, the king of the jungle, the ruler, the leader and as this approaching energy is a Full Moon, it speaks of culmination points. It is interesting to note that just prior to this date (January 20/21) transiting Uranus and transiting Mars are conjunct at 6 degrees in the sign of Taurus and within the framework of this upcoming Full Moon. The conjunction between Uranus and Mars is a volatile combination. The energies of Mars (war and aggression) align with Uranus (revolution and change) and this is the date of the inauguration of the new President into office in the US. Mars and Uranus do not sit well together, and unfortunately anything is possible. These two planets will be in square to this Full Moon positioning, Mars 9 degrees and Uranus almost at 7 both in Taurus on January 27, 2021. This should bring some stabilizing influence, but likely some challenging conditions, particularly in around January 20/21 when the energies are the strongest. Because Uranus and Mars are both timing factors in Astrology, these dates are significant. Squares are troublesome and bring challenging situations into the framework of the energies created by this approaching Full Moon’s positioning. The good or favorable conditions that may follow are due to the fact that squares are so troubling that they force us into action. We are pushed to resolve the conflict. Mars is the planet of aggressive force or drive and the planet of action. Sometimes the energies in place are taken by premeditated action, but more often than not by a stimulation from within or from outside forces that pushes one into action without forewarning. Mars is often behind arguments and confrontations, but when the energies are applied appropriately, Mars can be used as a driving force towards achievement. Mars is what pushes us into action and drives us ahead in life towards the manifestation of our dreams and life objectives. Without Mars, there would be little in the area of achievement and our eventual success. In the sign of Taurus, our actions are more restricted, and this energy may go through vigorous planning before we actually move ahead. There is less of a chance of jumping headfirst into situations and we will likely take our time before moving ahead. The actions are more deliberate and thought out. Uranus, on the other hand, seeks change and often through revolution although the plan is associated with furthering a cause or creating change that disrupts the norm, because the norm no longer suits the growth that is required. Uranus although it can be disruptive, and erratic, it pushes us in the intended direction. In the sign of Taurus, Uranus will act more on instinct and want to serve a purpose that fosters the solidification of something that is lasting and for the betterment of all concerned. Together, although likely disruptive, these two planets can bring in a new direction for us all that will open the door to insight and further our evolutionary quest. It does point in a new direction that hopefully will bring brotherhood and the realization that we all walk this road together and share the consequences of our actions. “Think before you jump” could be the motto for the upcoming energy. It is important to make sure that violence is not the route to change and that a peaceful solution is not only possible, but on the priority list.

The door in front of you is waiting to be opened. There is no special key and there are no obstructions in the way. The only thing standing in the way of it opening is you. Your perception and your attitude either holds you back or pushes you forward. Each one of us is offered that same passage regardless of past or present conditions. The answers are available to everyone. Do not hold yourself back. Understand that the door is not locked. Open it and walk through! The minute you take that first step life begins to shift. It is your obligation to “you” to venture forward. Start your quest for truth. Know that truth is always available if you care to ask. Do not be one of those individuals that hold back because of self-image. You are worthy. It IS there for you. Everything is available to you. It is never too late or too early. Some may even question whether there is a door there at all. Again, remember your perception and your attitude either holds you back or pushes you forward. You are the master of your destiny. You can walk through that door if you allow yourself to take that first step. Much lies ahead if you choose to take that step. Venture forth!

The Sun moves into the fixed, air sign of Aquarius on January 19, 2021. Aquarians have been known to be somewhat eccentric and original. They know they are different but really do not mind. They are known as futuristic and some have visionary concepts that are said to be way ahead of their time. Many other Sun signs will have problems trying to understand some of Aquarius’ concepts. Aquarians are moral by nature and trustworthy although radical in their thinking process. This, of course, will depend on the sign their Mercury is in and the house their Sun is located in. These placements along with the Ascendant can temper the Aquarius traits or add to their energies. Aquarians are humanitarian and enjoy discussing a range of progressive topics with others. They have new ideas, and their motto would be “I know” and “Don’t fence me in” or “Don’t tie me down”. They can also be somewhat radical, and it may be hard to sway their opinions yet most Aquarians are open to discussion. Many are involved in group activities and work well within these groups. They need to share their ideas and learn new material that they can pass on to those that they deem are looking for assistance or need a push to move forward. Aquarians often find it easier to talk with groups of people rather than have a conversation with an individual. They are lovers of mankind and sympathetic to their plight although usually not prone to emotional expression. Much, of course, will depend on the placement of their Moon by sign and house position. Their symbol is the water bearer which inherently symbolizes the spreading of knowledge. They truly want to push others out of complacency and help motivate people forward. Aquarians always search for logical resolutions to issues brought on by life’s events. The solution that they come up with will be positive in nature. The advanced Aquarian will make others realize that they are the only ones that actually create their problems and as a result, each individual has to fix their own problems. (This is not to say that others will not influence our lives but our reaction to what is said and what we do with the issue is always in our own hands.) Aquarians use their intuition to advance others as these Sun sign individuals know instinctively what others need or at least they think they do. Those with their Sun in Aquarius in the early degrees will have their Sun making a conjunction with Jupiter and Saturn in mid January 2021. This is a powerful conjunction, and much talk has taken place over the influence of these two giants in recent weeks. When combined with the Sun, this conjunction speaks of goals and aspirations along with the deep inner character traits linked with the Aquarian tendencies going through growth and opportunities although much work will be required to reach viable and favourable results. Much will depend on where the Sun, along with these planets, is located in the natal chart. If, for example, these planets are found in the first house, this becomes very personal and it may also affect their relationships. Internal goals will be scrutinized and either pursued or worries can accompany these decisions due to the influence of Saturn. It would be wise to push through adversity and move ahead but not to miss any steps along the way. If, for example, this conjunction takes place in the second house, then this would affect the finances and inner security. Of course, these are short answers and a deep look into the chart is advised to get a full and clear picture. Other aspects will influence these energies as well, and our attitude plays a significant role in these events. By February, 2021, these planets begin to separate although still considered conjunct until the end of February. During these periods, the Aquarian may find Jupiter has a part in the unfolding of their goals and inner realizations or Saturn will play the more significant role. Saturn tests our resilience and teaches lessons while Jupiter expands and builds towards opportunities promoting positivity and progressive action on our part. Jupiter will be in Aquarius for about one year while Saturn will remain there for about 2 ½ years. For further information see posts related to Jupiter conjunct the Sun and Saturn conjunct the Sun at www.holmastrology.com/apps/blog/ in our previous posts. Make sure you take into consideration the houses involved as these will be the areas of life associated with what takes place.

We continue our post from January 13, 2021 touching on house polarities and i9ntegrating an opposition. www.holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/49700803-house-polarities-integrating-your-oppositions-by-house-part-one- In our example we used Saturn in the second and Uranus in the eight houses. It is important to integrate both houses involved in the opposition without losing focus or emphasizing one house over the other. Oppositions are opposing factors that create tension but through integration can be resolved and used in a positive manner. It is also important while defining the meaning of your oppositions to take into consideration the natural rulers of the houses involved as well. So in this case the natural ruler of the second house is Venus and Taurus and the natural ruler of the eighth house is Pluto and Scorpio. This should be taken into consideration when trying to find alignment of the two houses and planets involved in the opposition. When a planet is found in the final degrees of a house, some Astrologers say as much as five degrees from the cusp, the energies are pushing towards the next house and both houses should be used in the formulation of action taken to alleviate the stress of the opposition. So, if for example, Saturn was found 2 degrees from the cusp of the third house while still placed in the second house, both houses should be clearly defined to get a full understanding of what areas of life are involved as well as ways in which these areas of life can be used in ordinance with the opposing house involved in the equation. In the description of Saturn in the second and Uranus in the eighth, a positive expression and release of tension caused by this opposition might be to find ways of achieving financial security perhaps through joint finances, where the burden of expenses is shared according to the income between both people involved. If there are continuous worries or anxieties over security matters, both financial or internal issues, letting go of these concerns through an understanding of mystical practice and an opening to new teachings that are available through occult understandings could help the struggles and present new ways to alleviate these internal worries. To take it one step further, if, for example, Saturn is tied to the third house because it conjoins the cusp of the third house, then communication and open dialogue will help alleviate some of the conditions that are causing concern and anxiety. It is important to remember that there is always a resolution to any dilemma in life and Astrology can help you to understand the energies through evaluation of your oppositions which may be part of the problem. You can find ways to integrate these energies and use them together to support one another and help find resolution to any concerns you may have.

As you begin acknowledging your abilities, whatever they may be, it is important to follow through and to recognize, that although they appear to be just surfacing, they have been lying dormant waiting for this acknowledgement. Do not deny these abilities. Provide them with whatever ingredients necessary so that they can blossom. Far too often, we notice these abilities are starting to flourish but are hesitant to accept them and we question our abilities. Some of us may feel unworthy. Some simply cannot believe that they are capable and will dismiss their abilities over and over again. In most cases, these abilities are not going to go away. It is time to explore these avenues of expression. The push to recognize and utilize our abilities will continue to return to us with some frequency even when our minds tell us that these can’t be. Our talents are real. Accept the fact that this is happening to you. It is time and you are ready! Our ego interferes vehemently regardless of our potential. Move beyond ego to that part of you that knows. Stop fighting the process. You are ready for this whether you believe it or not. It would not be happening if it were not time. These abilities are far from being foreign to you; they have just been dormant waiting to begin anew. These abilities do not make us special in any way. You are worthy. Everyone has their own unique part to play. We all hold key ingredients that foster growth not only for us but also for all those we share this experience with. Reach out to like minds. Share you experiences. Those that connect with us bring confirmation for us. With sharing our abilities with others, we enhance these abilities even further. Practice sharing your gifts frequently. With practice comes confidence. Remember your spiritual connection to all of life and your innate connection with spirit in your own personal world. Disregard the mind's interference as it is not part of the true you. Trust and belief.

When we are deciphering a natal chart we often come across oppositions. For those that are unfamiliar with what oppositions are in the natal chart, here is a quick definition: An opposition involves a minimum of two planets which are found at opposite ends of the chart. The angle of separation is 180 degrees. We allow an orb of up to ten degrees of separation, so any two planets that are between 170-190 degrees apart from one another are defined as oppositions. The tighter the orb (closer to 180 degrees), the stronger the opposition in an Astrology chart. A direct opposition will be 180 degrees in separation and will be a very powerful agent in the horoscope. When we have oppositions in the natal chart defined by house positions, we are torn in two separate directions. The houses define the areas of life involved in this aspect. There is a strong need to find a release valve between these two opposing forces. In many cases we will need to take into consideration the planets involved in the equation, as the energies of one planet can certainly overpower the energies of the other planet. However, these planets need to find expression and often one will dominate the other, but remember, they are opposing forces. An example might be Saturn in the second house in opposition to Uranus in the eighth house. Saturn seeks security either from an internal standpoint through finding a concrete evaluation of self-reliance or through hard work and internal reliability and a willingness to look within for reassurance, or as the second house deals with financial security, through money and the security it can bring. Uranus is quite opposite in its energies. While Saturn seeks structure and reliability, Uranus seeks freedom of expression and freedom to move in whatever direction it wishes, as well as new and innovated ways of integrating information into our lives. Saturn seeks out is tried and tested and Uranus pushes for change and learning from new adventures. The eighth house deals with joint finances, the occult teachings, inner reflection and big business among other things. The energies of Uranus in this position might seek out ways of joining finances to find shared resolutions to any financial crisis, but in a larger sense wants to explore avenues of expression linked to the occult and spiritual understanding. It wants to open the door to these concepts. In our example, Saturn seeks out ways to establish concrete financial security using slow meticulous methods, while Uranus wants to explore ways related to financial structures through joint finances that entail something new and exciting pushing in a new direction. This example may also be saying that Saturn is looking to achieve internal security through planning, organizing and structuring life in such a way that it promotes security that lasts the long haul. Uranus on the other hand may seek out independence through becoming involved in the teachings of the occult and the practice of reaching beyond what is considered safe and known. We are going to continue our look at house polarities and oppositions in our next astrology post on January 15, 2021.

All lives are significant. All lives are important. Do not think otherwise. Each of us has a role to honor. We each have a part to play and everyone has something of importance to offer, without exception. We all have our own unique gifts to offer, whether we recognize them or not. We have important information to pass on to those around us, and we are all part of this evolutionary process taking place on our earth at any given moment in time. We are the forerunners of the current shift. Many are awakening. It is significant to recognize that we have come into this incarnation at this particular time in human history to play our part in the unfolding story. Why now? Why us? Are these answers important? Take the time to recognize your own personal significance and just how important your life is, not only for yourself but for others. Never lose sight of the fact that you are spiritual in nature. You have come into this life in human form to utilize the lessons needed for your spiritual evolution. We are spirit in the form of humans, living a relatively short tangible existence. Remember who you are. You are a piece of the whole!

On January 13, 2021 at 12:02 a.m. EST, we will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Capricorn at 23 degrees. Capricorn, an earth sign, has a great deal to do with achievement particularly in the area of business. Those with planets within three degrees by conjunction, opposition and square have the potential of starting something new that lines up with the area of life dictated by this lunar position. New Moons enhance the energies of new beginnings. This is the time to planet seeds using instinctual guidance to push you forward in the direction of choice. This is fertile ground for beginnings linked to moving up the corporate ladder or investments in enterprise that seem feasible at the time of this Capricorn New Moon energy. Your intuition might offer some guidance although careful thought and due diligence provide the best results. This is not the time to rush into situations. Listen to advice from those in positions of authority or those that have experience. Guidance can be crucial in moving ahead. Pluto is conjunct this position at 24 degrees Capricorn and Pluto has been known to move ahead in a rather dramatic manner leaving no stone unturned and making permanent changes that have long lasting effects. Pluto will transform how life may have been up to this point and what you start now can have profound effects down the road. In some six months when we experience the Full Moon in Capricorn, you will see what unfolds. This usually is indicative with the energies and effort put into this next six-month period. What you put out is reflected in the final outcome and particularly with the Sign Capricorn. With Capricorn it is imperative that you do not take any shortcuts. Tried and tested methods might bring forth the greatest results. If this conjunction happens to take place in the fourth house for example perhaps what you push ahead with now may be related to investing in real estate or venturing ahead with plans on selling your home. Perhaps you may have to put one of your parents into a home over this next period and in most cases this refers to the most sensitive and nurturing parent. Perhaps now it is time for you to show your nurturing abilities. If this conjunction takes place in the tenth house, for example, perhaps you find that you are in the process of changing jobs or picking a new path that offers greater stability and structure in the long haul. Your goals and objectives may change and what was in place prior to this period may be totally transformed by the time this period is over. Regeneration in the work place may be part of the picture if the sixth house or health regimens may be high on the priority list.

Jupiter is known as the great benefactor and often extends good luck and opportunities when it makes contact with planets while transiting through the horoscope. Jupiter’s energies are what we wait for and it brings with it expansion on many levels related to the house position that it is transiting through and the areas of life represented by those positions. It will bring beneficial opportunities and success into life unless the planet it touches is severely afflicted in the natal chart or poorly aspected by other transiting planets. In this case, there are times when one becomes expectant of something good happening and overestimates the outcome. When Jupiter makes aspects especially by trine or sextile and in most cases conjunctions to the Sun, Venus, the Ascendant, the midheaven and even the north node, opportunities for advancement are likely. When these planets and important points are aspected adversely, opportunities still present themselves, but you may have to work harder for lesser results. Saturn is basically the only planet that suggests challenging conditions linked to Jupiter unless it is really well aspected in the birth chart. Jupiter deals with religion, spirituality, philosophy and is often tied to higher learning. It does rule law and the legal system and there are times when Jupiter aspects a planet or is moving through the ninth house that legalities are enhanced and opportunities for a successful conclusion are more likely. It may work in your favor but not always in as big of a return as is expected. Jupiter does sometimes bring just what you are asking for so it is important to ask for what is appropriate and to find satisfaction in all outcomes. Even the squares and oppositions when involved with Jupiter seem to bring more benefits than when these oppositions are associated with other planetary energies. Just watch for overextending yourself during these times as Jupiter tends to expand everything it touches. Some people gain weight when Jupiter crosses over the Ascendant. If there are other energies that suggest that there is the potential for things not working out, Jupiter can expand on these energies although in most cases it helps rather than hinders. Jupiter almost always promises opportunities for expansion and growth so take advantage of these times in your life and make Jupiter work for and with you.
