A powerful solar eclipse will be over the USA on August 21, 2017 at 2:30 pm eastern standard time. I cast the chart for Washington DC to observe the symbolical association and relevance for the overall country. The ruler of this eclipse is shown by the sign of Leo at 28.53 degrees, also the Sun cannot be seen as the ruler when it comes to eclipses. According to Traditional Rules for Judging Eclipses by Deborah Holding, the eclipse in Leo signifies:

“… death or misfortune for royalty, nobility and ‘persons of quality’; the ruination and destruction of ancient buildings, palaces and churches; division amongst the clergy, the besieging of towns, and a scarcity of horses and grain.”

The above quote should be interpreted figuratively. There is a likelihood of increased aggressiveness, damage to property, misfortune of people in powerful positions, significant protest, agricultural and economic issues.

According to William Lilly…

Jupiter/Pluto square reinforces a theme this month of feeling the pressure for change, and the experience of transformation from the ‘inside out’.

An astrological square between Jupiter in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn culminates today, but the entire range for this transit is from June 23-August 31st and definitely has the potential to influence this August us as the eclipses reach their epitome (the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse will be Aug 7th and New Moon/Solar Eclipse is on Aug 21st.)

Jupiter has been in Libra since October 2016 and has been influencing us to explore new ways to bring balance and harmony into our lives during that time.  Pluto in Capricorn represents change and transformation over a much longer-term, especially relating to our perceptions of success, respect and recognition.  Pluto represents radical change and even ‘destruction’, and now in retrograde really reinforces the theme of change from the ‘inside out’ as…

Welcome to Eclipse Season – Rising Intensity and The Drive for Personal Expression

Welcome to the second Eclipse Season of 2017.

Full Moon’s tend to raise the level of intensity and eclipses can raise that intensity to a whole new level.

This Full Moon falls in Aquarius with the Moon sitting conjunct the South Node indicating that you may be asked to become aware of some emotional patterns this week that you need to release to move forwards.

With Mars and The Sun conjunct The North Node, the drive to be yourself and to express your unique essence…

August Astrological Happenings

August is probably the peak month of the entire year. There is a strong energy of change, and a lot of intense and volatile energy too.  This is a month of endings and new beginnings. There are two recent New Moons in Leo. One that has passed on July, 27, 2017. And the second one this upcoming that is to take place on August 21, 2017.  Remember that New Moons are about beginnings, and Lunar Eclipses are about endings.

Retrograde

We also have many Planets Retrograde such as Saturn in Sagittarius, Pluto in Capricorn, Neptune and Chiron in Pisces. Mercury will move Retrograde in Virgo on August 12, 2017.  And on September 5, 2017 Mercury moves Retrograde in Leo.

Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius August 7th

On August 7th, 2017 the Sun in Leo will be opposed the Moon in Aquarius forming a Lunar Eclipse.  Earlier this year we had a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius as well, so this transit is reigniting our freedom or isolation feelings, let us understand that they are one in the same, the only difference is perspective.  This Lunar Eclipse is doubling down on the fire energy with Mars conjunct the Sun.  Mars is initiating passion and giving us the undeniable urge to create, the will, and the energy to do something we can be proud of.
The opposition comes in via old feelings making their way to the surface, the key is…

SIRIUS

HOT News:
On 08 / 08, SIRIUS a.k.a. The Dog Star (brightest star in the Dog constellation), a.k.a. The Scorcher, will rise again, before the SUN!
Hot Dog Days of SUMMER are on NOW, and we’ve certainly had an ‘extra dose’ of scorching heat, with the BC wildfires, and the smoke cloud also blanketing the BC Westcoast.

The Rising of SIRIUS is also associated with the AQ – LEO Full Moon which will be on AUG 7 – all linked this year.
I saw SIRIUS through a friend’s telescope last Winter, and felt immediately connected to the bright blue star.

SIRIUS the ‘Dog Star’ is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major, ‘the Dog’ and in fact brightest star in the night sky(!)

Please find an excellent description here  and here

SIRIUS now RISING again before the SUN is called the ‘Heliacal Rising’ (Helios = SUN in…

I often talk about energy in this blog. When I do I am referring to transformational energy and ascension energy.  This is the energy that assisting in our dimensional shift from 3^rd dimension to the 5^th dimension. If you don’t understand this or think this is pure rubbish that is fine too. I am not trying to push any belief on anyone. Feel free to call me nuts and move on to something else.

For those that are interested, there is an energy portal open now that is assisting us in something else I mention quite often too. Letting go and releasing. Letting go and releasing all those old objects, habits, ways of being that no longer serve us.

Today I am talking about the Lion’s Gate Portal. What is that you ask? Lions Gate is a cosmic alignment that happens every year about this time.

This portal…

Jupiter and Pluto have their last big square Aug.  4 @ 17 degrees Libra/Capricorn.

Painting by Napoleon Brousseau

This aspect can act in many ways. Jupiter is the king of the gods he is expansive and in Libra all about love and relationships. Pluto is the soul and is the planet of huge transitions, death, rebirth, resurrection, and transformation. Pluto name means soul riches.

Put these two in a hard aspect between lightning bolt hurling optimist Jupiter and heavy death bringing soul guide Pluto and its heavy duty, one way or the other.

Jupiter in Libra has been attempting to be the peace keeper grand wizard of balance and General people pleaser while the big guy is in Libra. Consider how tense and opposed things are, Jupiter has been making things a lot easier. If you can believe that.

Pluto is the psychopomp, I love that word, the guide…

Mercury at early Virgo appearing to slow for coming retrograde.  Retrograde motion starts on August 12th at 11 Virgo and continues until September 5th when direct motion starts at 28 Leo.  28 Leo is the same degree as the eclipse on August 21st.  Interesting.
Time to hold on important final decisions while we process the relevant information.

Hold on tight… but not too tight because on August 7, 2017, at 6:10 pm we will be experiencing the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius.

Lunar Eclipses tends to intensify life lessons because it’s been a long time coming, I suppose. It’s been building up to this moment just for the breakthrough, especially for us Americans. The Lunar Eclipse will take place right above the state of Oregon and over 10 million people are planning to go see it. Talk about intense! That’s a lot of resources being used to travel to go see this Cosmic event.

The Moon being Full in Aquarius means it is time to commit to a path that will serve you and others in the best way that you can.

Using Aquarius’ motto, “How may I serve you?” will be beneficial for you to practice in your everyday life. Now that we are in…
