When transiting Neptune makes an opposition to your natal Mercury, it might be time to re-evaluate your thinking. Oppositions can be quite challenging and often involve other people being part of the energy.

Neptune while in challenging aspect often speaks of the need for clarity and seeing things as they truly are. This involves not allowing the imagination to run away with things. You might want to ask for others’ (trusted individuals) opinions as they may see thing...

It is not usual to come to crossroads. The new road can look difficult because we have not walked it before. It may even be frightening.

What once felt comfortable now may not be enough. Perhaps we or our partner has outgrown our relationship. Perhaps our career is no longer fulfilling or has become too stressful. Perhaps illness has changed our journey.

The first step is always difficult but have faith in what you are about to do. The unknown can be inti...

The Sun moved into Aries on March 20. Those with their Sun in Aries, depending on the degree, will experience the conjunction with Transiting Jupiter and Mercury, the sextile from T Pluto, and the conjunction of the North Node in the foreseeable future. There is a busy year coming up with lots of energy for those with this sun sign. For information on Sun in Aries see our post from yesterday

The Sun moved out of the gentle, passive and introverted sign of Pisces (depending on the rest of the chart of course) into the sign of Aries, a much more aggressive and extroverted sign on March 20, 2023.

Those individuals with their Sun in Aries, depending on the degree, will experience the conjunction with Transiting Jupiter and Mercury, the sextile from T Pluto, and the conjunction of the North Node in the foreseeable future. There is a busy year coming up with lots of ...

On March 21, 2023, we will be experiencing a New Moon at 0° in the sign of Aries. The Moon will be square Mars at 28° in Gemini, opposition to Ceres which is at 0° Libra and sextile to Pluto at 29° Capricorn. Those with planets or angles within 3° of the placement of the New Moon will be influenced in their natal chart. These influences will be most prominent for the remainder of March and well into April.

A New Moon is the beginning of a cycle whic...

On March 20, 2023 at 5:24 P.M. EDT, we will experience the Spring vernal equinox (Ostra). The Spring equinox is when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length-the balance of light and dark.

There is promise of a fresh start and renewal. Our world and our lives shed their wintery blanket and light shines forth.

Sprouts will begin to push their way through the soil, trees will bud, the grass greens, snowflakes transform to ...

On March 8, 2023, Saturn moved into Pisces and stays in this sign for approximately 2 ½ years.

We are continuing our post from March 13. Part I can be read at https://holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/50396939-transiting-saturn-moved-into-pisces-part-i?siteId=126690493&locale=en-US.

Those with a spiritual nature may find that their beliefs may be tested. You will see how strong your beliefs actually are and whether or not you choose ...

Is life riddled with difficulties?

Do you ask, “why me”?

Some say it is Karma and some say we are building our Karma for the future by what we are experiencing now. Does that mean we have to just except and take our lumps?

Are we truly at the mercy of life?

We are at the mercy of our expectations, and our belief structures. We can make changes any time. If we stand still and do nothing, we cannot expect li...

On March 8, 2023, Saturn moved into Pisces and will stay in this sign for approximately 2½ years.

Saturn often makes us work for our rewards. Nothing comes easy even when Saturn is well aspected in the natal chart. Saturn challenged in the birth chart can make life difficult and hard lessons are often the by-product of its influence. With hard work and disciplined efforts, however, the outcomes of this hard work can be very rewarding.

Saturn if often...

Look at our steady progress. There are many points during our journey that we feel a sense of belonging and comfort in our environment. This environment is not our location on earth but our connection with self on an innate level.

It is confirmation of the inner truths that we seek to remember. It does not matter where we have set our earthly feet. What we have gained on a material level should have nothing to do with our concept of self. With an ongoing exploration of self...

For the duration of March, T Jupiter and Chiron will be in conjunction. Jupiter which moves about 1° every 4 or 5 days will move out of orb towards the end of March but they form a tight conjunction on March 12. Chiron moves about 1° approximately every 3 weeks.

They conjunct in the sign of Aries, which implies that you will have to do the work. Depend on no one else and take control of healing whatever needs healing at this time. In some cases you can help facili...

Face each day with a smile. What you put out into your world comes back at you.

Life still happens and challenges/lessons occur but your response to these is controllable and is what affects you directly. Your attitude towards the situation either invites worry and anxiety or hope and promise. Which will it be?

We all face adversity from time to time and how long the impact is felt emotionally is your decision. We cannot avoid difficulties, but we can dea...

On March 7, 2023, we will experience a Full Moon in the sign of Virgo @ 16°. Virgo tends to see all the little and important details. Virgo is calculated, detail oriented, and seeks perfection (at least the closest thing to it). This will be a time of organization and putting things in order, a time for reflection on what took place some six months ago when this all began with the New Moon in Virgo.

T Jupiter (13°) and Venus (17°) in Aries are both making a q...

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 i...

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 ...

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 sta...

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 no...

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 w...

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 comfo...
