Saturday, August 19, 2017 – Saturday, August 26, 2017

Good morning. Well, this is the week that we have been waiting for. You know we have had many Eclipse events already. And a lot of them we have seen take place in Virginia, and in the White House, and all sorts of changes and dynamic stunning events, which seem to continue week after week. But this is particularly interesting with the Solar Eclipse coming up on Monday at 2:30 PM at 28 degrees of Leo. It is exactly on the ascendant. That is the rising sign of Donald Trump. So he personally is directing all of the events that are taking place in the United States.
What is interesting about this is that during the Civil War there was a Solar Eclipse that went across the United States as well. It was not a total Eclipse. It was a partial Eclipse. However in 1863, which was also the beginning of the Ku Klux Klan. It was started back in that time. So that is very interesting. It was not at the same degree. It was in the sign of Taurus. But it was an Eclipse that did follow across the path of the United States.
The other thing about this path across the United States is that it divides the north and the south, which also is more of the same thinking of the Confederacy and the Union and all of that being brought back up again. So this astro memory that I often mention is triggered and it is obvious. We get these connections. We can make these connections for times like that and times now.

And there were other periods, there were other times when we had an Eclipse at this same point. One was August of 1998. If you want to look back in your own life and see what may have occurred in your life in 1998 and how is that relevant to now. And there were others.

You can find a lot of information about the placement of Eclipses in my book. I wrote a book about Eclipses called Lunar Shadows III. It is available through me or through amazon. You can follow the Eclipse past the Eclipse lines and the information about Eclipses from my book as well. And the Moon Families that are related to the Eclipses, which is the primary focus of the book as well.

But for today let’s look at…we have a Cancer Moon that ends its trek in Cancer with its last aspect square to Uranus at 11:17 AM. So it is a little bit haphazard before that. And also what I want to mention is that there are no real Green Light periods throughout the week. There is just a lot of tension. There is a little spot that I will mention that for a one time event you may want to do something. I have no idea what that could be. For some short term. Something that you are not going to invest in a long term connection that you would have to it. Just like oh, yes let’s just do this one time thing. And that would be Wednesday morning somewhere between 10:00 in the morning and 4:02 in the afternoon. After that the energy would shift back to Uranus’ chaotic pick after that.

So there are other changes going on. The Leo Sun will enter the sign of Virgo and that will be on Tuesday evening. And also this is the week that Saturn will be turning direct after being retrograde since the spring. That is going to happen on Friday at 8:08 AM Saturn turns direct at 21 degrees of Sagittarius. A reminder that Mercury is retrograde in Virgo. Mercury is retrograde and it will turn direct September 5th at the same point where the Solar Eclipse takes place on Monday. So that is a hot spot. That is an astro-memory. That is one of those zodiacal spots that are reactivated over time. So a lot of what is said and done and how it is said and what is happening and the stories that are recorded they are all connected to the events of the Solar Eclipse.

As we watch this huge event in our country as the total Eclipse line going through the country has an impact on the geology of the country as well. So there could be some geological shifts that are pretty dramatic during this week. And there can also be a lot of things internally. If you were to ask yourself how are you divided? How is your top half divided from your bottom half? How is your right side divided from your left side of your thinking of your life style of your actions? What is the defining line? How can you see through some of the things that cause conflict in your life and sort those things out?

Solar Eclipse rather it is a New Moon. That means there is a seed that will be planted that starts something up in a bigger way. In 9 months there will be your 1st Quarter Moon near the same point. And that means there is a development where you are actively involved in the process of moving forward with the things that were seeded at this time. So this is the time when you want to collect. It is not a time when you want to deliberately reach out and stir something up to take action. Because the Eclipse means that you may be eclipsed. That your efforts may be blanked out by some other larger event. So what you would want to do is look for what is being seeded what little things are sprouting up. and then in 9 months you can grab a hold of these things and they will be largely in planted in your life. And then 9 months after that there will be a Full Moon related to the Eclipse as well. And there is more.

So let’s have a look at the week and that would start here with today’s Cancer Moon. As I said last aspect for the Cancer Moon will be a square to Uranus 11:17 AM. So it is haphazard. You want to be a little careful especially leading into an Eclipse period you want this to be a time period when you are particularly cautious. Mercury is retrograde. Your judgement could be off. But there could be things that are coming back to you that you haven’t visited in a long time. There could be people that you run into that you haven’t seen in a really long time. There could be relationships that start up again as well. Just interesting. A lot of interesting dynamics.

The Leo Moon does start today at 1:55 PM. That is the sign where the Eclipse take place. So we are in that Eclipse Moon sign starting today even though the Eclipse won’t take place until Monday.

So for the rest of this evening there would be just on going activity. The Moon in Leo is also for Sunday. The aspects that are dynamic on Sunday would be Mars sextile Jupiter at 12:42 PM. This aspect has to do with revving up military action. It can also be a plan for a marketing plan. If you wanted to also activate something. Bridge. Where you could bridge a gap between you and your audience. And also your educational pursuits as well. If you would like to sign up for something or choose your school whatever that you would like to so to future your goals. It is a very future oriented aspect.

Mars being in the sign of Leo is coupled right with the Sun and the Moon during that Eclipse. So it is very high powered. Mars going on there making that nice bridging aspect with Jupiter. So you are going to reach outside your normal realm with Jupiter and find some kind of common goal to discuss with others. And travel. It is a travel aspect. I’d be careful traveling though, very much.

There is also an aspect Sunday between Venus and Mercury. They don’t have very many major aspects like a conjunction because they are so close together. So when there is something like a 45 degree aspect it is important. And it is tomorrow night 6:57 PM. So there is some sort of an announcement or information or introduction that is not comfortable. It is something about the Mercury retrograde. Maybe someone runs into you and says “Oh, I remember you did this or you owe me that.” Could be about money. Or this is an opportunity for you to make amends and make something right.

There is also an aspect later on when the Moon is conjunct Mars at 11:54 PM. that may make it very difficult to fall asleep Sunday night with all that extra Solar Eclipse energy headed our way that would make a lot of sense as well.
The Sun and Uranus make an aspect at 2:21 AM Monday morning. That is that Jack-in-the-box planet Uranus. So there is that sudden abrupt change in an easy opening when the Sun is trine Uranus. It is part of the picture of the Solar Eclipse and there is also an aspect between Pluto and Ceres. This is at 6:02 AM. That says there are serious consequences. There are things that particularly having to do with children and food and famine and anything where the crops could be disturbed, dried up, burnt up. Anything having to do with things with agriculture in particular and also children. So you want to be careful take lots of care on Monday with family.

Also there would be before the Solar Eclipse the Moon pops into an aspect with Uranus at 1:40 PM which is setting the stage for things to go snap crackle and pop. Very interesting.

It should be visible around this area. It will be a partial view from our stand point. It is exact. Its center point is in Kentucky. So we get to have just about 2/3’s of the Sun covered by the Moon during this time.

Then we have the Moon entering Virgo after the Solar Eclipse which is 2:30 PM. The Moon will then change signs go into Virgo at 4:24 PM. That is when the cleanup energy begins. Mercury is retrograde so there are a lot of things that you want to gather and get started for your fall or end of summer clean up as the Sun get ready to go into the sign of Virgo on Tuesday night.
There is an aspect on Tuesday. Mars trine Saturn. Mars trine Saturn has a lot to do with well channeled power and controlled temperament and the proper placement of anger or hostilities. Something is reined in. obedience is the order of the day. Tolerance and patience are more easily applied to stressful situations. Boy we could use that.

Stamina and endurance is also the nature of Mars trine Saturn. There could be auspicious delays. So if you have things that are delayed expect that good thing for that particular event. That is at 9:21 AM on Tuesday. Although there is certainly the influence of that Monday afternoon Monday night and going right through Tuesday night.

The dark of the Moon which we are under now that will run all the way from now through until about 1:45 in the afternoon on Tuesday.

The Virgo Sun sign begins at 6:20 PM Tuesday and is in the sign of Virgo until September 22nd. The Virgo sign is about getting things done, cleaning things up, service to others, and harvesting. So that will be a very good Moon/Sun period coming up for the next several weeks, 4 weeks.

Wednesday, August 23rd if you have an opportunity for a single event go ahead and take advantage of that midday.
I also want to mention that at the Solar Eclipse or on the day of the Solar Eclipse there is a very positive lucky strike kind of thing. So if that Powerball or whatever that lottery is. Someone has to win. You might as well try. It could be you. There is definitely is something very lucky that is being activated with Venus and Uranus in particular on the day of the Eclipse.

Also there are favorable aspects on Wednesday. Moon parallel Mercury and then Moon sextile Venus. Those two are very good. That I mentioned that if you wanted to take advantage of that. Do it before that Moon is quincunx Uranus at 6:06 PM on Wednesday changing the energy and making things snap crackle and pop as Uranus is very unpredictable.

And It begins a void of course Moon period at 6:06 PM until 9:04 PM when the Moon enters Libra. That is a very complicated Moon period because retrograde Saturn is going to turn direct. So Saturn standing still is going to make everything feel like there is a lot of hard work to get done and a lot of difficult energy to get past. Once Saturn turns direct it slowly lets the flow of light/life move in a forward direction. So it is sort of held up held back and rather constricted before that period.

Then for Thursday we also have a Libra Moon. There are a couple of aspects going on between Venus and Neptune and then Venus and Uranus. So it is one of those days you could lose your purse for sure. Those aspects they take place between 11:30 and 3:00 in the afternoon. But I would say they look as if they happen during travel Because Mercury and Jupiter are also part of the story. So there is something about something that you believe is ideal. Something that maybe you see something great. You want to buy it in the airport before you go and then whoops somebody grabs your purse. Or you spent too much or all of your money and didn’t mean to do that.

You also want to take care of friendship with the Venus square Uranus on Thursday at 3:00 in the afternoon. This is friends that are close to you. Friends that you have brought in to your family could be upset or insulted in some way. So take good care of your friends.

The Sun and Pluto are forming an aspect later on at night. That is 11:32 PM. And the Sun and Pluto that aspect is a cranky aspect. So it brings a lot of money focus. It is all sorts of internal powers struggles. There may be problems with those in power. There is also problems that arise with governments, unstable countries, key figures, opposing forces that sort of thing. So there is a lot to tend to regarding the global energies with that aspect.
Friday that is the day that Saturn turns direct. That is pretty much the major activity for that day during the Libra Moon. So trying to make nice make peace. Saturn wants long standing peace. It turns direct in the sign of Sagittarius so there is something about travel that is affected as well. Saturn has been retrograde since April 5th. So this may feel like it is part of the family picture. That you want to get things arranged and put in such a way about the home, the elderly parents, the children. Getting all that in order, so that you can feel as though you can move forward with your career in particular. Saturn has a lot to do with career.

And then during that Libra Moon sign it waits for Venus to change signs. So something gets dropped. And Venus will be at the 29th degree all day on Friday. The 29th degree of Cancer. So this is about something about a big spending in the home or spending for the family or maybe the birth of a daughter. Anything having to do with holding things close and near to you before Venus changes signs and goes into Leo on the next day. Well that is it for the week. And have a Happy Eclipse.

If you want to have a look at how this Eclipse is effecting you. Each person receives the Eclipse even though it is in Leo, it is not just about Leos. It is about Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus. As far as the harder energies go the more direct energies of tension. But it also certainly effects the fire signs of Aries and Sagittarius along with Leo. Any sign is effected by the Eclipse. So give me a call to learn how this affects you at 617-924-0929. Also at Lunar-Shadows.com you can find a copy of the report both the audio file and the written report as well. Happy Eclipse.
