Grandtrines

I want to thank all of you who commented to my query yesterday.

Mercury is in Virgo and we are under a Scorpio Moon so what did I have to do today for hours and hours?  I was literally out of storage space on Google drive. I had to delete- DEATH- 10,000 e-mails a Virgo /Mercury thing of course. I gained 1 Gig of space. It felt good. I feel lighter. 

Virgo is the clean up sign. I admit I am messy and I keep papers and track of old emails obviously. I have thousands more e-mails to delete in fact.  I figure if I spent an hour a day at it eventually it would be all cleaned up. Along with my office which is being moved to another floor, and my website being finished its redesign. Also  starting a new habit of deleting that verbiage every day. 

August 10…

The energies are really intense. How did the 8 8 infinity movement feel to you?

I seem to have lost over 100 followers in the last few days. That hasn’t happened before. I wonder why? Can you please give me your feedback? I work very hard on this blog. 

The MOON has entered SCORPIO Aug 8/9-August 11,
Aug. 9th will be a relatively LITE energy day,which is a Scorpio oxymoron.
Scorpio Moon sextiles Venus in VIRGO, earthy, sexy, emotional.
Do be near water or walk the earth barefoot. Thiscan, of course produce emotional mud.

This is an intoxicating, narcotic tinged energy. It occurs late at night in EDT and even later in the morning of the 10th in GMT. Use this energy to dig deep into your own repressed sexual energy, fantasies, and eroticism. Time to explore deep psychological emotions…

Today 8-8-16, two 8’s, double the infinity and a double 8 in Numerology, is a very ancient celebration marking the Heliacal rising of SIRIUS, Canus Major, Dog-star, the brightest star in the sky. As it rises with the SUN today it’s a powerful cosmic REBIRTH and abundance symbol. 

This star has been worshipped for thousands of years as the embodiment of the Great Mother, Egyptian Goddess ISIS, and as OSIRIS, her consort and their son Horus.

ISIS was known as the protector of the dead. Ancient Egyptians also associated the rising of Sirius with ISIS’s tears shed for her slain husband OSIRIS. Her worship continued throughout history and temples to her were built in Iraq Greece and Rome. She was identified with Aphrodite/Venus and roses are used to commemorate her. 

SIRIUS was a giver of life as its reappearance marked the annual flooding of the Nile. When the star sank…

If you have tasks that require intense concentration, the Scorpio Moon is up to providing support for that today. An early morning sextile to Scorpio’s ruler, Pluto in Capricorn, sets the stage for doing serious research from the beginning. We may need to take a break midday when the Scorpio Moon squares the outgoing Leo Sun and distracts us from our work but that’s OK because that may allow us to return to work refreshed. 🌠☾♏🌠

What will really help us concentrate is the trine between detail oriented Mercury in Virgo and obsessive Pluto in Capricorn. The trine strikes a nice balance between being able to focus without becoming so submerged we forget to take care of other important matters. Put this influence to work today because the distractions increase as the weekend approaches.

Note: Timing is averaged for EDT to PDT.

It’s been a hot summer and this Mercury retrograde period is asking us to reflect on what, exactly that means to us in the way that we live: Things like the amount of water we use, the preparation of food, our diets and exercise patterns in an overheated world. This is a rather tense time astrologically speaking. It could be a great time to do what Mercury retrograde suggests; reflection and perspective rather than action and forging ahead. As Mercury makes the station the moon is in the balsamic phase (just before the new moon) and gearing up for a solar eclipse in the sign of Virgo on the 1^st of September.  Anything could happen!
