SIDEREAL
WESTERN ASTROLOGY
I wanted to
start out by discussing the upcoming eclipse season of August 7th
and 21st. To complicate things there will be a Mercury Retrograde in the middle
of it around August 13th or 14th. Basically, there is a
two week window where events are set in motion with the Lunar eclipse and then
fully fleshed out during the Solar Eclipse. Most people know that here in
America, we will get the full brunt of the Solar Eclipse on August 21st.
Just in time for everything that can go wrong with communications, will go
wrong. Which brings home some big energies on our front doorstep. For me, I am
expecting some infamous tweets. Most of the time I skip blow by blow accounts
of what is out of our immediate control. But a quick understanding of outside
forces on our government will affect us in our daily life. So, this is my time
to touch base with this.
On August 7th,
and the lunar eclipse, the moon will be in sidereal Capricorn. This can be a
rather dark or stoic place for the moon and will be opposite the Sun in
sidereal Cancer. Neither orb is happy in either of these signs, so that adds a
huge stress. Imagine the sun is all watery and moody and the moon is all about
dollars and cents.
A certain
level of melancholy can follow this kind of eclipse. In times of great strain
and change, many people are overwhelmed at how things have gotten out of sync
with how things are supposed to be. Capricorn expects rules, foundations and
general expectations to be honored, but they seem to conflict with what we find
in our daily lives. Fortunately, what makes up our foundations and the
unexpected shifts in events will look favorably on the needs of the future. But
what that looks like will be hard to tell because of the cruelty being set upon
us emotionally and trying to expose the culprit. It will seem like our darkest
hour, but there is more than meets the eye that is working its way into
changing the group situation. A less analytical way of saying this is facing
the ugliest part of our nation will result in ousting those who perpetrate the
outdated and unsustainable agenda, leaving breathing room for those who care
about what is being done. It will take all of us to stay alert and voice our
concerns.
Over the
course of this eclipse season, the Sun will move out of Cancer and into Leo. A
much happier place for the ole sol! Also the Sun will be leaving behind the
dance with Mars which has created drama with no solutions. That is what can be
cruel and picking at our vulnerabilities. With the movement into Leo on the
next and solar eclipse, more optimism will arrive. To add some extra hope,
there will be two sets of Trines bringing change in big circumstances, but not
necessarily where we can all see the action. Could it be a string of subpoenas?
Congress getting back together after a long separation? With Mercury retrograde
at this point, there is big changes in hidden places. Add Uranus and its
mischievousness, there is little doubt that something significant is happening
behind the scenes, such as cyber attack. All I can say is there is some really
good luck at this time, and it favors those who want positive change in the
power structure. The fingerprints of shock and awe are written all over this
Solar eclipse that crosses our country.
If you are
looking for closure, it won’t happen quickly. Over the primary span of the
Mercury Retrograde from August 13th to September 5th the
little Hermes will be back tracking past everything in the public eye and
giving us a second look. This time those who have not seen the truth will be
forced to review the information in a new light. For the rest of us, exploring
rough spots in our lives will be important to get right this second time
around. Communications will be all over the place, so, be sure you are getting
the real story. Don’t fall victim to reporters being emotional as they tell you
the latest in this rerun of errors. Actually, you should be so turned off by
the manic card being played that you simply find another news source. Watch out
against manipulation! Never has it been more important to be savvy in what
information you consume. By September 5th, the tide should be
turning directly into a rehash of the worst of the worst and entirely something
different will result, ie, wrong doers will start facing the reality of their
actions.
As sideline from
the eclipses, is Venus in Gemini will start to trine Neptune in Aquarius on
August 7th to 18th. While not warm and fuzzy, it will
bring one some fascinating friendships. In personal relationships, this is a
time of getting things worked out. After that, until August 28th , a
time for healing and understanding your personal power. The energy shifts when Venus
goes into Cancer and hits that sweet spot with Chiron in Pisces after August 18th
until August 28th. So for those dealing with the dog days of summer,
perseverance will pay off! And be careful with your messages!
Friday, August 4th, brings a lot of movement into those
important long range deals and needs. Don’t be surprised if some lucky and unusual
gifts arrive. They can come from letters, proclamations or other oracles that
are necessary to piece together the whole story. There is some setup to a fake
story going around. Be vigilant. Moon in Sagittarius.
Saturday, August 5th, the set up to a story is being
designed. As it gets started, hold your personal light high as this setup will
be rehashed many times over the next month or so. With Mercury dancing over a
significant house to the POTUS, expect some detailed notes being taken that
will be used against him. No one needs to look any further than the guilty
person for evidence. That will be reflected in your everyday life as well so
look for comeuppance! Moon in
Sagittarius.
Sunday, August 6th, over the months a similar story has
been ever present in our minds. Still gets back to if someone is doing their
personal work, then the changes will flow for them. If you think you can cheat
responsibility and personal integrity, the fates won’t leave you alone. It will
seem that some of the noise is becoming chatter. But under that noise is a
whole lot of big change. Your job is to look at your own personal life and make
your loving connections when you can. Even tough love. Over the next two weeks,
the unexpected will continue to surprise and intrigue you. I hope you are in a
happy place, because otherwise it will be really tough going. Moon in
Capricorn.
Monday, August 7th the lunar eclipse will not be seen in
the USA as it will be exact at 1:11pm Central. Numerologists take from that
what you want, but if you want to take a break in your day to push out the
impractical and unsustainable, you could have a powerful response. Just
remember that, when you make that kind of night and day change in your life, a
cascade of dominos may fall at the same time. This is a great time to fight the
crimes against humanity. Just as a side point, this is the full moon also,
which lunar eclipses always are. Moon in Capricorn.
Tuesday, August 8th the world as we know it could get a
lucky boost. Not everyone will benefit, it is more for freedom fighters and progressive
ideals. The day starts out with world news that can shake us up, but not
threaten our security. Hold on tight, it just amped up a notch. Those that work
against the common good, will find a lot of resistance. Moon in Aquarius.
Wednesday, August 9th, there could well be a couple of
days of secret assaults on the news and technology. Is the cyberattack
beginning? It is all bent on twisting,
perverting or confusing those who are staying engaged. This is not a time to
faint from the difficulty. Instead feel proud of you savvy towards finding
deliberate propaganda and shut it down. Make sure you have a good antivirus
program. Moon in Aquarius.
Thursday, August 10th, today is retraction day. Or back
track day. This is our new reality of having to hold judgement on an issue
until it has met with some level-headed critiques. At the end of the day,
connect with those you love and take some time for gratitude. Those pursuits
will offset your tension from the hidden battle that is waging right now. Take
a note that just as Mercury in Leo opposes Neptune in Aquarius on the 12/13th
then Mercury will become retrograde. Meaning a rehash of all that lead us up to
this stress of our times. It will take Mercury about 5 days to clear out of
this mess, but the story is not done. Watch your headlines and pay attention as
this old story unfolds. Moon in Pisces by evening.
Blessings and peace,
