Astrology

“The essential purpose of astrology…is not so much to tell us what we will meet on our road, as it is to suggest how to meet it – and the basic reason for the meeting. Which quality in us, which type of strength is needed to go through any specific phase of our total unfoldment as an individual person”.

Astrology is a complex and insightful tool that can be used to unlock your full potential. Here we take a look at the basic concepts behind character traits and personality types and how they relate with others. Astrology does not determine any characteristic to be good nor bad but an opportunity for transformation and growth.

Saturn enters Scorpio 5th October 2012

Transiting Saturn enters the sign of Scorpio on October 5th, 2012 and the transit lasts until approximately December 2014. Saturn’s symbolism suggests “taking a serious look at…” in this case, the themes of Scorpio. With a Saturn cycle of development, we take a look at the deepest inadequacy or fear and transforming that into strength and mastery. It is a phase of maturity too, on that helps us incorporate patience and perseverance. Saturn’s transit through Scorpio, suggests that each individual and group will have to become responsible for addressing and clearing out their personal “underworld.” One must take responsibility for one’s choices, actions and behavior before transformation can occur. “Soul prompts one to experience the truth behind the curtain of illusion, to acknowledge that the non-physical reality nourishes the physical reality. The depth of love that is felt as Soul, turns shards of betrayal and bitterness into gold. Truth is revealed. “ The astrological sign of Scorpio is a water element (attuning to deep currents of feelings and emotions) and a fixed expression or mode of energy. The “all or nothing” is experienced with Scorpio and at times stays very crisp in the black and white duality. The extremes are given with sign, but you want to use the extremes in a way that is healthy and empowering. Scorpio wants to “feel deeply and intimately” not just about sex, but rather, on every level; Spiritual, mental, emotional, physical. The fixed mode of energy signifies potential to have a laser beam like concentration once a goal or idea is set, and emotions or feelings then fuel that up until manifestation occurs. Yet on the “off-balance” nature of Fixed mode of expression, one can become fixated, obsessed, addicted to or overly rigid and stubborn or unyielding. This is not helpful for it stagnate one’s growth and healing. Saturn symbolizes; keeper of time or higher Diving timing and the master coach. Some key qualities of Saturn are; guidelines, tradition, conservative, structure, respect, obedience, rules, restriction, control, authority, time, matter, fear, lack, self-imposed limitations or poverty. The harder you resist and fight what you as the ego/personality need to learn the harder it will be under this phase. It is best not to be overly fixated or stubborn otherwise the only person that will suffer is you. Saturn’s transits are not all gloom and doom, so shake off that misconception and fear. It is time to transform your view and approach to this transit. Saturn’s symbolism provides plenty of rewards and recognition if you are willing to learn and embrace the challenge as stepping-stones towards maturity and growth. There are wonderful things that manifest under a Saturn Transit. Which signs will be up close and personal with Saturn’s Transit through Scorpio?

Jupiter goes into retrograde 4th October 2012

JUPITER shifts into retrograde motion giving us a rest on some of the big expansive ideas and plans that are half hatched in our minds and possibly on paper. Now we have the chance to focus on what is already in process. With JUPITER IN GEMINI there has been no lack of big ideas, plans, or schemes! No new ones for now! Now is the time to pick something that is already on the table and work with it! Much like a Mercury retrograde but the issues involved are larger, not the small annoying details that Mercury requires we deal with, but more involvement with the dissemination of expansive wisdom, philosophy, or higher learning. Yes, those plans and ideas! Perhaps it is simply the new ways of thinking and seeing the world that we have been opening our eyes/ minds to. While Jupiter is retrograde, (until January 2013) we rest from that forward motion and develop our connection to those expansive plans or those new way of seeing the world and the people around us. With SATURN teetering at the last edge of LIBRA and MERCURY about to join him, together they slip into SCORPIO tomorrow. The combination of this and the turning of Jupiter speaks of the release of what has long been holding us back in our current relationships or those relationships we long to develop. What have we learned (since summer of 2010) regarding what we need/want in relationship and our ability and desire to be in intimate relationship? We may well come to a new and deep understanding of our own relationship path. Watch for a true epiphany on that front! Oh, yes. MOON ENTERS GEMINI this morning. Mind active, curiosity engaged! Have a great day!
