Influences of Alignment and Derailment – January 2016

UPDATE: I’m moving each day over to the Home page as a separate post, but still keep them on each month’s page for continuity’s sake.

I’ve enjoyed looking at Astro and Human Design influences. I’ve been using my own chart, but the transits are relevant to everyone in some way. I decided in the interest of space on the blog, to do monthly sections instead of weekly. Clearly my life gets in the way at times, but the book is published, and I think (hope) I’m done with any more revisions, so I should be able to be more consistent. This is a learning experience for me. I have some knowledge, but I’ve really been taken with Human Design although I dearly love Astrology. I like to look at how different viewpoints interact, so that’s some of what I’m doing here. Doing this monthly will result in less pages under the Astro/Human Design section, which will be more manageable I think. Plus, there will be a sense of continuity that daily or weekly doesn’t give. I’ll begin each month with a Lunar Return chart and talk about what’s interesting there, and then I’ll post Human Design transits daily. So, here we go with January’s influences. I mean, can you believe it’s 2016?!!

Lunar Return chart

The expansive energy of Jupiter continues the personal transformation I’ve experienced over the last year. It suggests strong intuition and a need to follow my inner knowing. In Virgo, Jupiter suggests my health is a focus, which is true. My tendency to go my own way is supported here as I continue to create my own alternative medicines for my remission from rheumatoid arthritis, again maintaining balance is important.

Mars in the Sixth House suggests partnerships are important but again, to avoid imbalance by staying focused in the present moment and not in someone else’s drama. Mars in Libra counsels balance in dealing with others as well. For this Libran, life has always been a balancing act. Saturnian influences point me in the direction of self-reliance, a long-running theme in my life, leaving behind self-doubt. Waiting to respond, as a Generator-type person, is key to overcoming the reactionary influences of the Moon in Gemini and in the First House.

Morality and high ideals have always led the way in my life and the influence of Uranus in the Eleventh House supports my activist tendencies. Uranus in Aries suggests originality and strong intuition, reinforcing my empath traits. But it also suggests that I can be easily derailed by the energy around me, so again, alignment with Self is key.

A spiritual focus regarding career goals is in play with Neptune in the Tenth House. A desire to help others gives the greatest satisfaction. Neptune in Pisces speaks to the empath in me with awareness of the multi-dimensional aspect of self. Connection with Higher Self is the focus as well as oneness with others. Empathic awareness is high during this period of time.

Chiron in the Eleventh House further suggests this desire to help others involves a need for family or community, or a need for belonging. However that should be kept in perspective so that my goals aren’t compromised. The need for family or belonging could speak to a more wounded aspect of self, so balance and self-determination are important.

The time to blaze new trails continues into this new year, to go my own way, have new experiences, and break new ground. Life is unfolding around me, almost on its own schedule. I’m merely observing the experience.

Chiron in Pisces contributes to an empath’s tendency to feel apart from others. But since I know that I give the world around me the meaning it has, so it’s always possible to choose another way of seeing things. It’s possible to move through life, creating our own possiblities without the need for approval from others. We exist in value and worthiness, as extensions of Source Energy, and it’s not possible to ever be anything else or. Nor are we ever alone. Although the empath may have difficulty connecting with others at times, it’s typically because of the enormity of the energy involved. So, I’ll relax into being, stay aligned and focused on the now, relegating the wounded part of me to the perception of the past.

• Neptune in Pisces (7° Pis 22′); Neptune in the Tenth House
• Chiron in Pisces (17° Pis 15′); Chiron in the Eleventh House
• Mercury in Capricorn (20° Cap 30′); Mercury in the Ninth House – Ruler of rising sign
• Mars in Libra (24° Lib 03′); Mars in the Sixth House
• Saturn in Sagittarius (10° Sag 15′); Saturn in the Seventh House – Angular planet – conjunct Descendant
• Moon in Gemini (12° Gem 12′ 50″); Moon in the First House – Angular planet – conjunct Ascendant
• Uranus in Aries (16° Ari 34’R); Uranus in the Eleventh House
• Jupiter in Virgo (22° Vir 52′); Jupiter in the Fifth House

Human Design Transits

    

.

The Channel of Transitoriness (35-36) is still in effect today, so crazy energy is possible. Staying aligned is important so that I experience the energy without becoming derailed by it. Transiting Moon at Gate 50 (Cauldron), Line 4 (Corruption) counsels to stay aligned with my strong value system as a means of defense against corrupting, crazy influences. Mars transits at the same Gate and Line strengthen this counsel.

Current transits with the South Node (36 – Darkness; 3 – Transition) suggest embracing change that comes from crisis, focusing on creating something new. The influence of limitation is felt at Gate 60, but the influence of Line 5’s leadership allows me to either work within or possibly move beyond any limitations felt. Staying in the now helps me to trust in the process, allowing transformation to unfold. Jupiter’s transit at Gate 6 (Conflict), Line 1 (Retreat) suggests a time out is better than staying within any conflict.

So it sounds like although I may experience some limitations today, I’ll trust that my life will unfold in resonance with Self. A little tunnel vision may be in order..or a Shameless marathon.

See you tomorrow!
