Saturn is currently transiting Libra, bringing to center stage the issue of boundaries and balance, within relationships.

Some seem to be born with an understanding of what boundaries are, and utilize them with ease, throughout their lives.

Others, myself included, have had to work quite diligently to understand the meaning of boundaries and to utilize them in a manner that is non-projective.

Years past, I attended a Spiritual School of Healing for a time.

It was the philosophy of the founders of this school, that to become an effective conduit for healing for others, one must first heal, thyself.

When I entered this school, one of the issues that was constantly stressed to me during our self-work sessions, was BOUNDARIES.

Quite honestly, back then, I didn’t have any.

The word, meant nothing to me whatsoever, no matter how many times it was defined to me.

Yet others could see, even if I could not, that I was in desperate need of boundaries, and I am thankful for their daily enforcement of the necessity of developing boundaries for myself.

Many wise souls planted seeds with me back then, and while I did not have those seeds sprout until after my attendance period at this school, they did eventually come fully to flower, and I am so very thankful for those that cared enough about me, to badger me ceaselessly, on boundaries.

Setting boundaries really is about you, not, about any other.

I do not perceive boundaries as “walls or shields”, as I believe is quite a common perception in the collective.

If you truly have strong boundaries, and maintain them, there is never a need to deflect or prevent an energy of any nature from entering your space, nor is there a need to concern yourself with how another is utilizing their personal energy.

Boundaries are, a clean and concise definition, of your personal space.

They allow you to set within your energy patterns, what comes in, what goes out, and how you wish to utilize or bypass any energy incoming, regardless of if you should label it as “negative or positive, high or low”.

It simply does not matter,  for you yourself, through boundaries, determine the qualities of any energy within your space.

Keep your space tidy, and do not trespass the personal space of an other, and you shall master boundaries amazingly fast!

Following is an article I wrote a while ago, and I feel it is in context to developing and maintaining boundaries, and is an issue that tends to be overlooked, when doing depth work in the boundaries arena, for oneself.

If you are interested in developing better boundaries in your life, this article may be helpful to you, as there are many subjects that are not always easily identified as being directly connected to the area of boundaries, and I feel this is one of them.

If you have a lot of challenging aspects in your chart concerning relationships with others, or, if you are loaded up on Pisces, 12th house, or Neptune aspects, you too, should find this article of benefit. Service-oriented Virgo, this also could serve you.

Today, is my eldest daughter’s birthday.

Today, she is 22.

Yet yesterday she was a defiant teen, and the day before that an awkward pre-teen, and the day before that, it was her first day of kindergarten.

The day previous to that day, she was the toddler with her arms wrapped around my neck, her tiny little face peeking through my hair, as she flirted with whomever was offering her, a much beloved cookie.

Not so many days ago, she was placed upon my breast, this newborn delight of mine, and she smiled up at me with a little pucker of a smile, and I felt a Love and Peace, that is the gift of Motherhood, of which we lack words of enough depth and richness, to even remotely describe this Heavenly Space.

Mother’s reading this, understand this and are in no need of words to describe what this is when holding company with one another, for we feel it and just understand it, this sacred space of a deep, eternal love that we enter into, within these rites of Motherhood.

Yes, I am deeply nostalgic today, and am savoring each and every drop, every single moment of memory, that returns to me this day.

You see, I feel we have these moments, and the whole of these moments, defines the Truth of our existence.

These moments, that define us, are the moments that reside in our Hearts, and are ever present, and ever alive.

I do not believe in living in the past, and yet, I do believe we occasionally need to take a moment, to scan around to be certain, that we have brought forward, all of the really precious wonders, that have brought us to Be, whom we are now.

The moments I carry in my Heart, those shared with both of my daughter’s, and the gift’s they have graced me with, in those shared experiences, are directly responsible for whom I have come to Be, today.

*********************************************

There are many things I intended to write about today.

Yet as soon as I awoke, the myriad of moments that I shared with my daughter, from the first that she entered this world, indeed from the moment I conceived her, continue to drift through my mind and senses.

This nostalgia is likely intensified today as I am currently in a period with heavy transits to my natal Moon (mother,women), with transiting Uranus and Saturn in square, and Pluto in opposition.

So, I thought maybe I’d try something a little different today, and I am going to review my personal chart for what I had transpiring the year I birthed this lovely child of mine.

If you are so inclined, feel free to share your personal experiences/astrology data in the comment section, I would enjoy sharing this “Sea of Nostalgia” with other parents that wish to savor their moments of wonder the year their children arrived.

So, here goes, a look at how this child entered my universe, via astrological influences. 🙂

I recently had the pleasure of being the recipient of an ‘ask and you shall receive’ gift.

As I have mentioned in other posts I am currently in a cycle of activated Kundalini.

So to make short a long story, :) , I put it out through the ethers that I wished for someone, in a body ((silently thanking my disincarnate assistance for understanding)), to come forth that would be able to assist me during this transition in some way, someone that had something, I needed, to ease the discomfort that can come during a kundalini cycle.

The day following my etheric request for assistance, I found myself creating a Facebook account, which surprised me, for I had no interest in doing so, previous to that morning.

Within hours of my sign-on at Facebook, my request through the ethers was answered.

Steve Booke, a Musician and conduit for Healing, currently residing in NYC, friended me, and voila!, he offered exactly what I needed.

Steve’s musical compositions have brought me tremendous relief these past weeks, and have assisted the smooth flow of fire energy that, as of today, I am still experiencing.

In gratitude and thanks, for Steve’s generous assistance, I wished to share with my readers a bit on the dynamics of this talented Musician/Healer via his astrology signature, and to share his personal websites, for any that may wish to learn more of what Steve has to offer.

**************************************



As an Aries rising, Steve receives benefit of his natural chart placements through the houses and signs, and his chart ruler is Mars (which is also co-ruler of Scorpio and the 8th house).

With his Moon and Neptune exactly conjunct, in his Scorpio 8th house, Steve easily plumbs the depths of Scorpio’s transformational intensity with a passion that brings forth an exotic flavor within many of his compositions. In his own words, Steve has coined the term, “Exotic Sexatonic” in description of the rich, sultry tones his music embodies.

Saturn has only recently begun his transit of Libra, the sign of relationships, balance and justice, yet already it is quite apparent that some are being impacted quite intensely by Saturn making a conjunction to their natal Uranus, Neptune or Pluto taking residence in early Libra.

If you have the natal placement of any of these outer planets in early Libra, and Saturn is now conjunct your planet, or is applying to the conjunction, it would be beneficial to be aware that relationships are front and center for you, and this is your opportunity to redefine your relationships and update your ways of Being, within relationship.

Due to the movement of the outer planets being slower than our personal planets, they remain in each sign significantly longer, and are a generational influence. Because of this, large swaths of people are affected by transits to these planets all at the same time, and if the transit is by a slower moving planet such as Saturn, the duration of influence of the transit is of a longer term.

Those currently having transit Saturn conjunct one of their outer planets, are those born within the approx. dates listed below, along with which planet is being influenced:

Uranus in early Libra: October 1968-September 1970

Neptune in early Libra: October 1942-September 1946

Pluto in early Libra: November 1971-September 1975

Those born within these years are now having Saturn conjunct, or applying to the conjunction, of the outer planet listed with the corresponding dates.

If you were born slightly after any of these above dates, this Saturn transit will soon be upon one of your outer planets, so this information, also applies if you wish to preview how the impact of this transit of  Saturn through Libra may effect you.

First let’s take a closer look at the players in this event, to get an idea of what this transit of Saturn to the outer planets, is asking of us.

Transiting Pluto is creeping his way to my Descendant and is currently conjunct my Juno.

My life is quite odd right now, no other way to put it for I don’t even completely understand it, after all, it is the first time in this life, at least, that I have been here.

Pluto transit Juno/Descendant is feeling like one, huge contradiction.

So thought I’d place here the separate interpretations for this transit, then bundle it all up, and see what I can see, in it.

Tonight’s full moon, occurs at 11:30PM PST, and is located at 11° Gemini-Sagittarius.

Where ever a full moon falls in our charts, is where we have the opportunity to become conscious (sun) of that which has been unconscious (moon), as during a full moon the Sun shines directly upon the Moon, eliminating all shadows.

This particular full moon has the Moon in Gemini conjunct the fixed, royal star, Aldebaran, and the Sun in Sagittarius, conjunct the fixed, royal star, Antares.

Aldebaran and Antares are two of the Four Royal Stars, also known as the Gaurdians of the Sky, by Persian astrologers.

Zoroaster, the Iranian Prophet and Poet, whose works  are attributed to the birth of Zoroastrianism, was familiar with these Royal Stars, and known to make reference to them.

Aldebaran, is known as ‘The Watcher of the East’ and is associated with Archangel Michael.

Antares, ‘The Watcher of the West’ is in association to Archangel Uriel.

At the full moon tonight, the Sun’s radiance is boosted by Antares, a red super-giant, and termed accordingly by classical Greek astrologers, “the rival of Mars”.

The Moon is supported by Aldebaran, an orange giant, it’s arabic name meaning “the follower”.

I view this Full Moon as offering us the safety (via the protection of the Guardians of the Sky) and the illumination to observe and consider what we have been following in our lives, be it a person or an ideology, quite possibly before now, in an unconscious manner.

As Antares lends his Mars-like qualities to the illuminator (Sun), we are afforded the foundation of courage and action, to change our course, should we find that we are indeed being ‘the Follower’, to another person or an ideology, that is not serving our Highest Good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I personally know this is going to be a huge event for myself. 🙂

Yesterday afternoon I was drawn to Enya’s “Aldebaran”, and played it a few times over, allowing my energy to align to the chords.

It was not until this morning, that I pulled up tonights  full moon chart, that I realized the correlation of the fixed stars this full moon.

For myself, Aldebaran resides in my 12th house of the Unconscious, so this is just so absolutely perfect for me!

The Sun juiced up by Antares casting away the shadows in my 12th.

An opportunity I plan to avail myself to free of fear and ready and willing to face what I may find there. 🙂

Share the location of this Full Moon in your chart, and any thoughts you may have, as to what you expect, or desire, to have illuninated?

Tomorrow, Uranus goes direct at 23º Pisces, after retracing the ground covered between 23-27° Pisces,  first transited while Uranus was  last in direct motion.

Uranus first traveled 23-27° Pisces, between Mid-March and July of this year past, bringing us new experiences in area’s specific to the function of Uranus, within our personal lives.

If you know your natal chart, look to the house in which Uranus is transiting, and aspects to other planets/points made while transiting these specific degrees in Pisces, for an idea of how Uranus going direct may manifest for you.

Uranus first went retrograde after transiting these Pisces degrees, on July 1st.

At the time of entering retrograde, situations arising and projects begun while Uranus was direct through these specific degrees from Mid-March until July, were then focused internally, availing us to finding a deeper understanding of our situations, and to also adjust anything that was in need of reworking, in preparation for manifestation or scrapping completely, when Uranus goes into direct motion and again covers the 23-27° degrees in Pisces, for the last time for the next 84 years.

As of tomorrow, all Uranian functions within our life, will once again begin to rev up, and the green light is on, all systems GO!

During a planets retrograde phase, it is common to feel as if what was started while the planet was direct, has taken a back seat, or has been ‘lost’ altogether.

While somethings may be scrapped, usually much comes forward once again, after the retrograde period ends, and is ready to be acted upon for ‘completion’, in some form.

Consider these keywords and functions of Uranus and Pisces, for insight into how this may play out for you.

Reflect upon what was happening in your life, last March until July, to give you a better picture of what you may have coming forth now.

Uranus Functions:

  • Sudden Change, Rebellion, Higher Intellect, Independence, Unexpected, Awakening, Disruption

Uranus Governs:

  • Inventions, Originality, The Occult, Electronic Music, Computer Technology, Astrology, Science

Pisces Functions:

  • Adaptability, Intuitive, Devoted, Compassionate, Escapist, Imaginative, Over-Sensitive

Pisces Governs:

  • Spirituality, the Unconscious, Mysticism, the Unknown

Be ready for sudden changes to occur these next weeks, and expect, the unexpected!

Uranus is now in his end stages of transiting Pisces, wrapping up 7 years within this sign, so it is likely these next months, will be especially significant in the lives of everyone, with new directions appearing out of the blue where ever transiting Uranus has been touching your life.

I personally, am quite excited!

I like action and surprises, and have been feeling like all was one big stop sign, for some time now.

A side note:

We now will have ALL planets in direct motion, until Mars and Mercury retrograde later in December.

This is a huge opportunity for ACTION.

Lot’s of energy to support forward movement in whatever area’s have felt stalled for you these past months since July.

Be brave, trust Your Self, and be ready, to ACT! 🙂

I just spent a bit of time browsing around the web.

And I have to say, it is like weaving through a derailed train that has flung all of the baggage willy-nilly over a huge radius.

Almost no point in trying to collect and sort any of it though, for there are more trains that have yet to reach this location, and they are on the way.

I’m not trying to sound gloomy here; I actually sit back and take in a bit of it all with a slight amusement.

What else can you really do?

My motto is a bit like, “when the going gets tough, the tough crack jokes”.

In this walk, as far as I am concerned, a sense of humor is mandatory.

Oh, I feel the pain of it all, there is no escaping that.

I have my own personal stuff to deal with, and I’m an empath, so I get to feel everyone else’s too.

Yet, I am not keen to sitting in pain of any sort, so I flip it up, and I find the humor, and let me tell you, no matter how bleak it looks or feels, there is always something humorous somewhere to be found.

My personal train is still on the tracks.

I intend to keep it that way. Have a lot of derailments occurring all around me, but I am weaving through.

I personally have had enough of my fair share of derailments in my personal life, and there is no way I am turning over my conductor’s hat to anyone else.

I am going to steer this train, for ‘better or worse’.

H6For those born to the Pluto conjunct Uranus generation, it has been an often frustrating task attempting to not only identify what our talents and interests are, yet also to find a way to bring our talents and interests into the world in a realistic manner that affords us positions in careers that satisfy our need to do what we love.

As Saturn transited Virgo the past 2 years, and we experienced our Pluto’s being conjuncted by transiting Saturn(amongst other Saturn conjunctions if you are one with many Virgo tenants), we experienced the ‘death’ of much that we thought we were about, including any glimmer of what we felt we were on this planet to do.

Many of us experienced a period of being in the void, with absolutely no preconceived idea’s or dreams still remaining as a road map as to where we were heading to next in our careers, or even how to begin to look for a job of any nature when just looking through the Help Wanteds left one in a state of apathy.

Now, some of the Pluto-Uranus generation born earlier, had their breakthroughs when Saturn then conjuncted their Uranus and brought in the fresh air of change and un-expected surprises.

Those of us born late into this generation, are just now having our breakthrough’s. (more…)
