If you can't find the gratitude & good in this moment now, even though you may be crying, and this moment may suck, what hope have you to find it in the future?
We are never given more than we can handle.
Our Souls designed the adventure & the maze, & our Souls KNOW the way out.
When the heart hurts & the mind is pained with worry,
Stop, Sit down, BREATHE Deeply into the belly & GO WITHIN & KNOW,
this moment too shall pass.
The past has brought you to today & the present shall carry you into the future.
All the views you view are meant to show you YOU!!
Take them all in, the good and the bad, the beauty and the ugliness,
learning the wisdom and lessons they whisper to your soul;
love them completely, with no judgment, and allow them to make you whole.
As you bring the pain to the present, and decide where you want to go from where you happen to be?
Know the choice is yours & how you choose to look at & use the gifts you've been given!
Perhaps the gift is that you are here, able to transform these hurt and wounded pieces of yourself now. You see, if the body gets cut, it has the power to heal itself, as long as life flows through it, the heart pumping the blood, the nutrients rushing to piece the self together again.
Pain is but a road that we are meant to travel on occasionally,
it leads to countless destinations for us to explore and adventure through,
all eventually leading us home to the Heart. That you are even on the path means that you are here- and that is something to be grateful for.
Because from here you can get to where you want to go.
So know, when the path is dark and cold, put your hand on your heart and ask Love to light the way.
And keep breathing for another day.
There is greatness within you, give thanks for that greatness and ask it to transform your pain into pleasure, to provide you the understanding and the purpose of the struggle, and to help you see and easily create whatever beauty is meant for you.
All my Love, Jamie

From Our Dance With Venus To Our Threesome With Mars & Pluto, As Saturn Kisses Libra Goodbye And Dives Deep Into Scorpio
Saturn ends its tour of Libra this Friday October 5th, where we all got cozy and intimate with Venus the Goddess of Love and Beauty, as we delved deeply into our ideas of Partnership. Now we get to apply all we discovered about partnerships since October 2009: how we want to partner, and perhaps who we want to partner with, or what kind of partners we would like, as well as the partnership with Self.
We are all comprised of four bodies: Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual.
When an individual is in harmony and total union, all of these bodies operate in a unified manner, with each one's energy being directed towards a common goal and intention.
Part of our evolution in the Human Space is to become aware of the individual bodies, complete with all their personal desires, wishes, goals, strengths and weaknesses, beliefs, thoughts and emotional energies vibrating from the fear space (separation) instead of Love (union). Within Duality's field, fear is that energy which separates, while Love unifies, bridges and is the balancing force. It is through love and the heart that we return to center, to TRUTH. Love clears judgment and all shadow emotions and energies, it transmutes all lower vibrations, returning them to their original essence.
Through our relationship with self and others, we are able to evolve and expand. As we begin to unify ourselves through loving and accepting all the various parts of us(the parts we like and the parts we don't), we can then do this with and towards others, as we partner with them co-creating our experiences and world together. As we become more unified and harmonious within, seeking that which serves the greater good for us and all, we find our external life reflecting that sense of self. When challenges arise they offer the opportunity to own the energy expressed in the challenging experience and other, increasing self awareness, which we can then use to successfully navigate through and out of the difficult spots, using the power of LOVE and acceptance.
I love Molly Hall's take on Saturn -The Planet Saturn in Astrology (see below)

Saturn in Libra is concerned about justice and fairness in relationships, averse to lowbrow behavior, because Libra is all about beauty, harmony and balance in partnerships and life. The shadow of Libra wants everything to look beautiful, to be neat and clean.
But sometimes life doesn't come in neat, pretty packages; sometimes life is messy. Everyone goes to the bathroom, and if they don't, well then there is an even bigger mess going on inside them. It is the crap that fertilizes the soil of our experience, making life richer and more diverse. Sure it may stink for a bit, but when added to the soil of our life, what grows in us and from it, is much stronger, fuller and more beneficial.
Scorpio knows the ugly side of life, it is a sign familiar with the darker aspects of the human mental-emotional experience; comfortable with intense, powerful, ambitious energies, it leans towards the secretive,and can be fearful of being exposed (think the scorpion that hides in the dark afraid of the light); it is committed to learning and becoming adept at wielding both dark and light power.
As Saturn enters Scorpio the Realm of The Emotional Shadowlands, we get to have some passionate trysts and tumultuous dances with Mars, The God of War, and Pluto, The Lord of the Underworld, both of whom co-rule Scorpio. While Venus's energy was more about love and harmony, these Boys hold a great deal of anger and aggression. Mars is all about action and Pluto is known as the transformer.
According to Anne Cortese who wrote Pluto: The Great Transformer
http://wisdom-magazine.com/Article.aspx/579/
Pluto rules change, transformation, death of the old (way of life, career, partnerships, and life style) depending on where it is placed in the Chart. When a situation, partnership, belief system, place of residence etc. is no longer needed Pluto can, and will, transform the situation.
Mars:
Saturn our Dance Master/Taskmaster is the Father of Pluto and Grandfather of Mars. His Boys don't exactly have the warmest feelings towards Papa Saturn. Saturn ate Pluto, and with Mars, it is a case of hating Daddy (Jupiter-Zeus) too, and being mad at Grandaddy for making Daddy the way he was.
So we get to play with anger and aggression and how we deal with and express these energies within ourselves and the collective world. We get to dive deep into the dark, scary, fierce, sexual, transformative, healing energy of Scorpio -Yay!
We get to take a wild ride with the energy as it evolves from the Scorpion (that creature that will lash out/sting/destroy the other and the self with its anger, aggression and fear) to the Eagle (who is able to fly between the higher and lower emotional realms), finally emerging as the Phoenix (that mythical creature who is purified in the fires, reemerging from the ashes, born anew!), dealing with issues of anger, death, dying, rebirth, sex, taxes and other people's money- fun, fun, fun!
Everyone will be playing with these scorpionic energies and exchanges, and people who have not worked out their stuff will be projecting their shadow all over the place.
The scorpio shadow can be violent, destructive, competitive, stubborn, sneaky, secretive and manipulative, as it gets into your stuff, to figure it out. Scorpio is about intense energy and emotions and deep transformation. It loves to examine the underlying workings, the mysteries, the WHY behind human behavior. It will take us through our closets where we get to exhume our skeletons, beginning the process of finally putting them to rest. As we embrace, understand and integrate all the energy (beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and experiences) they represent, taking them into our being where they are healed and transmuted with out heart's love, we emerge strengthened, more whole, less fragmented. We get to dive in and explore our issues of anger, aggression, rage, violence, abuse, doubt, decay, disease, bully energy, anger towards and issues with the Father and Grandfather and the Masculine God, anger and disgust towards the seedy side of government, corporations and business operations and practices. And we also get to explore sex, sexuality, eroticism, taboo, sensuality, scandals, issues of abuse and misuse of this power, healing wounds and issues of worth and respect and the Prostitute Archetype in us all, as we learn to balance, value and honor the sexual power within (the creative fire force), clearing erroneous shadow beliefs and judgments of self and others and how they live their private and personal lives. We get to see how the deterioration and decay of the divine within duality, created devastation, destruction and death, and how it turned the sacred to the shameful, as the shadow energy plundered the purity of our divine essence.
Keep in mind, there is no judgment here- all energy serves the One. The good and the bad exists for all to explore the self through All That Is, and All That Is Not, to increase the diversity and scope of potential experiences, which offer one the opportunity at greater self-mastery and realization; they are all varying parameters of this video game of Life that our Souls get to choose to explore and experience. The goal is to become aware of all the energies we contain within, to bring to light that which is hidden, repressed, denied or resisted. And it's only when we do this, that is, accept it all as part of us, understanding how it served us and what it teaches us, choosing to love and release it from its energetic pattern of expressing, returning it to its essence of love and light, that we are free to be more-
more love, more light, more joy.
As Saturn works with Mars and Pluto, He will be triggering and activating the issues each deal with, as they journey through the various signs throughout the three year adventure, with each sign adding its own flavor and perspective, bringing up its own issues and energies for us all to work through.
It's time to find our courage and face the scary, ugly side of the shadow, to own it, to let the LOVE we are transmute and lift it from the darkness to its center in the sun, purified by the fire within our hearts, as we begin to return all that is SCARED and WOUNDED to its SACRED and WONDERFUL TRUTH.
It is time to Go DEEP and get CONSCIOUS!!! Time to move forward, there is no going back!!! Remember when the living gets tough and the fire of the anger begins to rise,

Keywords: Limitations, structure, authority, discipline, boundary, striving, responsibilities, depression, stability
Saturn's role is to give definition to our character. It does this through trials that bring up and out those seemingly irreconcilable pressures we carry within. As we are pushed to reconcile these inner tensions and fears, we slowly gain real confidence. It's the kind of confidence that's hard won. In the birth chart, Saturn shows where the outline of these solid strengths is already there.... to be filled in with our actions.
Shows us how to create boundaries within which to make steady gains through effort. But when the structure has outlasted its purpose, Saturn forces us to break down old orders, and rebuild on more stable ground. With Saturn, there can be shattering times, when life falls apart. At other times, Saturn is an anchor that stabilizes your life.
The feared aspect of Saturn is what's confronted when we must grow beyond set boundaries. It brings us face-to-face with our anxieties, phobias, control-freak tendencies, inner dictator and more. Saturn is associated with karma, and the potent fears carried over from another place and time. In classical astrology (Greek), it was assigned the label, the Great Malefic, or "big baddie." Today, there's more acceptance of its role as the great teacher, though its lessons are often harsh.
Saturn’s gift is the pressure that keeps us focused on our own path. It’s seriousness, like the sign it rules, Capricorn, comes from knowing that some goals require us to plod through dread to generate more inner discipline.
Saturn doesn't promise success, but by laying out the steps, and sticking to the path despite the distractions and doubts, you start to gain Saturn-approved mastery regardless of the outcome. It is the path to unshakable self-esteem. Saturn’s influence may seem heavy and limiting, but that is the nature of the physical realm. When you toss up your hands and claim to be overwhelmed, inert, depressed, someone else has to be the authority in your life. This authority can be given to a boss, father, spouse, teacher, friend, or even a punishing voice inside your head. Once you’ve been humbled-humiliated enough, you might decide to pull yourself up and be your own boss. The sign and house position of your Saturn shows where these life dramas will likely take place.

According to Anne Cortese who wrote Pluto: The Great Transformer
http://wisdom-magazine.com/Article.aspx/579/
Pluto rules change, transformation, death of the old (way of life, career, partnerships, and life style) depending on where it is placed in the Chart. When a situation, partnership, belief system, place of residence etc. is no longer needed Pluto can, and will, transform the situation.
Unlike Uranus which comes in suddenly and unexpectedly and with a bang, Pluto works very subtlety and regardless of where the changes take place in our charts, the changes will ultimately affect the very roots of our being.
When a situation exists in a person’s life that is impeding their personal and spiritual growth, and is no longer needed, transiting Pluto to that area, can and will, transform the situation.
Sometimes these changes are welcomed and sometimes they are not. What we need to remember is wherever Pluto transits take place in our Astrological Charts is where, The Universe is calling for us to let go and be open to the next growth period in our lives. For many this is not an easy task. We are creatures of habit and change does not come easy. Evolution in illumination and attunement to the Cosmic Consciousness only comes through painful experiences.
We need to recognize however, that the positive side of Pluto is symbolized by Minerva: the Goddess of Wisdom. Once there is a realization of the need to let the transformation take place, then the themes of death, resurrection and rebirth take place and Pluto becomes the Phoenix rising from the ashes and a new evolutionary journey begins for the Soul. Mars:
Keywords:
ambition, sexual desire, passion, determination, will to act, discipline,
motivation, initiation, impulses, fire within, energy levels, expressing anger
Mars is the planet of
energy, action, and desire; it rules our base instincts for aggression, anger,
and survival, our sexuality and sexual energy; it also governs weapons,
accidents and surgery.; it is passionate, impulsive, driven, determined, disciplined,
ambitious and competitive; the energy is extremely powerful and can be brutally violent,
but is quite useful if channeled properly.
Saturn our Dance Master/Taskmaster is the Father of Pluto and Grandfather of Mars. His Boys don't exactly have the warmest feelings towards Papa Saturn. Saturn ate Pluto, and with Mars, it is a case of hating Daddy (Jupiter-Zeus) too, and being mad at Grandaddy for making Daddy the way he was.

It is time to Go DEEP and get CONSCIOUS!!! Time to move forward, there is no going back!!! Remember when the living gets tough and the fire of the anger begins to rise,
take a deep breath into your belly, ground into the planet, open your heart and mind, hold the intention for easy resolution and healthy progress, and deal with all that comes up within self and the experience (the other is a mirror for you, as you are for them). Use each moment as an opportunity to increase your self awareness, owning all the shadow and light parts of self, as you tap into the amazing power you contain within, to co-create the life of your heart's desire. Thanks for being you and good luck in all you encounter on this three year adventure! All my love, Jamie
