Focus

Filed under: mars,saturn — inspiredastrology @ 1:34 am

Mars, the ACTION planet, is in the hot seat.

Mars is exactly square Saturn Tuesday and is also square Neptune, creating a tense t-square that DEMANDS action while making it more difficult to TAKE action.

Outside, expect HOT weather. On the personal level, there is an opportunity to free up STUCK energy and start moving towards achieving your goals. How? FOCUS.

If your FOCUS is on what you see as problems and imperfections, that is what you will continue to get, and more of it. Goals will be more frustrating than motivating, and your resistance will keep things exactly the way they are, even if you SAY you want change.

If you can look at the world and the offerings presented to you as having the potential to change, inform, and emotionally uplift your psychological energy, you can move past limiting patterns and beliefs. If all you find are faults, you are meeting your own resistance to your own passions and motivation. You can’t FOCUS on gratitude and appreciation when you are blaming and assigning guilt. And– you can’t feel guilt and blame when you are FOCUSing on your gratitude and appreciation.

If you let past events determine your future, you are likely to hold on to the same fear, guilt, and inhibitions that have always limited your actions. Despite WANTING better things in your life, you will continue to self-sabotage and not receive your dream life. If you can stand on your own and take action based on what YOU know is right-action, you can start to move forward. Otherwise, you can continue to seek support and continue to find fault in how it is given.

Full Moon Awareness

Filed under: full moon,mars,saturn — inspiredastrology @ 12:52 pm

The Full Moon is approaching and weather permitting, will be quite a show as the moon rises this evening.

Since i see astrology as energy, i have a few comments on the current state of energy.

Mars, the energy planet, is square Saturn, the cautious planet. This is a time when everything seems to get in your way of success. You may have spent considerable time and energy trying to make something criticism-proof, yet the responses you receive can be frustrating, non-existent, or even resentful.

Insisting that everything works according to your plan or schedule can create a one-way energy system. And the problem with that is that the energy cannot renew itself. It’s a dead end. So you do a lot, but then the energy dries up and you wonder, why? what happened? Things may have seemed to be going great, but they were just going your way, and/or you did not create a path for the energy to flow back; receiving energy seems to be blocked or slowed way down.

How can you make this time less frustrating and more productive? Patience! And build a path for the energy to return. Let yourself receive positive energy, don’t block it by feeling the frustration or thinking there’s never enough. That’s the old scare-city mentality. There IS enough, but you may need to accept building patiently now if you want to continue to be productive.

Lauren

Venus Retrograde: reawakening to your love

Filed under: astrology — inspiredastrology @ 3:28 pm

Why don’t we make big changes that will improve our lives, free ourselves of the things we don’t like, make major strides, live in our love?

We resist changing tooo quickly. We hold on and resist making changes that are too sudden or sped up.

So we make excuses, stall for time. We search for the key to change our lives, yet when we find it, we’re not really ready, at that moment, to make a commitment to change. So we slow it down, think it over, make our own terms, get ready,,, slowly.

As Mars squares Neptune while Venus stations Retrograde, change is almost impossible, especially if you’ve lost your faith in your inner process. You need your intuition now, and shutting yourself off from it can be dangerously misleading and confusing.

You can benefit from Venus Retrograde, if you realize the key to understanding its energy.
