You may not be able to help him directly, but prayer, meditation, and attuning to and asking the Creative Forces for help CAN have positive effects.

Cool about the number synchronicity. Synchronicity is one of the ways that our guidance speaks to us.

Hi there Graham,

Thank you for the kind re-welcoming, so to speak. How have things been for you of late?

Lately ... events have required me to reflect carefully upon my core values and beliefs.

Currently though, I'm thinking they are ok ... but, to express them effectively, I need to first consult mindfully with Rudyard Kipling's 6 honest serving men*.

Yep. Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter, have all been square my Ceres/Chiron/Sun. Jupiter is square Mercury, at the moment. I was in a bad way during the Spring, and part of the Summer. I won't say why, because you might believe things that have been driving me crazy, and I'm not getting into it with anyone else. Capricorn is my third house: my mindset, communication, siblings, and local travel/neighbourhood events. Most of that applies.

The Capricorn 23 Saturn-Pluto conjunction in January 2020 squared my natal Libra 23 Venus. ... Progressed Venus was then at Capricorn 22 but is now entering Capricorn 23. ... And the retrograde transit of Pluto is currently at Capricorn 23.

Natal Venus rules my 9th house; Capricorn is intercepted in my 4th house and the ruler of the 4th (Jupiter) is making a progressed qcx from there to my natal Leo/11th Pluto.

So ... it came as no surprise to discover that my current review of core values and beliefs was initially prompted by a March 2020 spat between myself and a member who has a natal Saturn/Pluto midpoint at Libra 23 (conjunct my natal Venus in 1st house of identity).

Hard to blame people--we've been bombarded with so many inaccurate and false predictions (especially as to timing) of the so called end of the world from the religious, new age, as well as scientific-climate change. That, and the topic is deeply frightening to the human-ego parts of us even if we thought it was true.

People are burnt out on all of it, and why should they listen to this self.

Actually, I prefer that they don't just believe me, but go deep within as I do and check this information against what their own internal guidance tells them. But I have noticed a definite resistance in many to doing this. Either they don't believe it's possible, don't believe that they individually can do it, or just don't want to go there--whatever the case or deeper reason, it's rare.

It's sad, because the Creative Forces would very much like to communicate more directly with all of us. This is one of the things that can help to transform the world besides greater love in our hearts for ourselves and others in a more universal way.

Is that the religious guy that you have mentioned before?

Not sure how I feel about being compared to someone very attached to religion/dogma. Just because there might be some surface similarities and agreements, doesn't mean that we are coming at it from similar core understanding, perception, and angles...

I've heard people who have no depth in their background of Christianity come out boasting like 'they know' that religion, and give disparaging reports as though they do. {eg, forced by parents to attend a parochial school}. These have the understanding of a child.

Unless 'the child' catches a divine spark along their catechisms and lessons; and from that, they have begun an awareness then the religion-exercises have not yet found them. The soul needs to ignite, and then 'receive' from the teachings. The soul gets soaked and nurtured. Practice soaks the soul with the INNER personal experience that is available.

A shallow outside brief encounter with authority and rules {dogma} cannot give them the TRUE experience they might be looking for.

The ones that thump their scriptures and accuse and say 'you're going to hell???' haven't perhaps "realized" the fuller experience of Christ Within? I understand where they're coming from.. and it's plain harsh... They go after splinters in other people, and fail to see the log in their OWN. {scripture}. Certainly, they don't get the verse that talks potentially about themselves-- that not-everyone who says Lord lord, actually KNOWS him (by relationship).

There's someone recently who posted at LL, who had 'signed up'/registered at LL earlier in the year. Has NOT been active except for 8 posts she did asking information about her boyfriend's chart last February. Since then, NO activity.
.. She recently posted her contact info where she invites people to look at her products/services for purchase.
.. I said something about that to her, thinking that at LEAST she could do 'free readings' IN that thread, ON that topic, FOR the benefit of LL and our own people.
.. No.
She was belligerent. Came out claiming that anyone who 'registers' here can announce 'affiliation' with the organization, defending her "right" to post online contact info, where she sells her services/products.

I waited.
Yes she HAD completed a registration--- but has NOT as-yet "earned" the right to say she is in relationship, as a contributing "member".

Knowing God is an INNER experience you steep and walk in, day by day, with or without organized affiliation to a group.

Knowing God and walking in the world that same way, you can by chance meet other individuals who have the same spark in them. The Spark that made their Soul alive-- connected to the ethereal-net?

WE can recognize it in each other..
It's about the Love.
And a LOVE that grows DEEP, and is Inclusive.

Religion practices help you draw out what you need. Keeps you connected. Helps you during times you are numb or dense, going through a tough trial, and 'seem' not plugged-in.

A little understanding of that 'process' within yourself, plus applying gentle patience, can reveal later that development and growth has occurred all-the-while your own senses were dulled to it. Things in the world can crush and be sooo pressing that your attention gets squeezed from realizing. .. Then, you get glimpses! Having "faith" means you know the process goes on, and you eventually come onto a whole other realm of realizations. You grow.

Because I have had much experience in various types of religion (west, and small exposure to east), it became easier for me to see the common-denominators. With application, with devotions, individuals 'catch' that holy Spark, which opens a WHOLE other layer of awareness. And others are sharing in that experience simultaneously.

That expanded-room, that extra-awareness is not yet found if you remain caught in the mental entrapments of dogmas.

Dogmas of higher spirituality teach us 'about' approaches to God. But if you can't get past that point, you still have not caught the spark. It can out-of-the-blue ignite. You find it lights like a beam in a lighthouse. There is a 'recognition' from soul to soul-- eye to eye, light to light, soundings to other-soundings.

Whether east or west--- go beyond the veil and sense-enhancing smells bells and ashes-- find the place inside it calls TO, within.

Teasel-- I hope your boyfriend who has been steeping in this for a while, really Lights up--- goes beyond the 'words' that are taught, and 'gets' it! And he needs to question the group he has associated with. Not every one of those groups teach the right thing.

It really depends--sometimes it's easy enough as a Planet in the 1st and/or closest to the Ascendant degree. But other times it takes some definite thought and weighing various different factors. But Angularity and strong aspects to the Angle rulers (especially Ascendant and MidHeaven rulers) are some of the most important factors. Then, Planets in their own Signs get a boost, and then Planets in Houses that loosely correspond to the natural Sign order and the Sign(s) it rules get a bit of a boost (e.g. Venus in 2nd or 7th). Generally speaking though, there is nothing as singularly amplifying/highlighting for a chart then a Planet conjunct the Asc, or in the 1st House and closest Planet to the Asc (if there are multiple).

Think of the Asc and the 1st House as like a giant magnifying lens and any Planets in or near same get very magnified.

Do you have your chart up somewhere here? I don't have the time or energy to do a full chart analysis/interpretation or anything like that, but I could look to see what Planets are particularly strong/highlighted.
