Gibbous Moon Phase: trust; magic

Moon in Aquarius

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: recognize your patterns

True Alignments: observing, committed to a higher calling, the spiral of evolution, decisive, respect for others, monuments, rising above a pattern of behavior, peaceful mind and heart, confidence that one will persevere

Catalysts for Change:  repeating "mistakes," seeing errors, failure to thrive, stunned, inconsiderate of others and their feelings, blocks to progress, going in circles, minimizing others, lost in memories, theft of various types of things

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

This lunar month's theme of delivering messages and information comes to us today courtesy of the following energetics:

SUN: "a merry-go-round" - When this energetic is discharged, we often find ourselves saying "Here it goes again."  Patterns repeat.  We often feel like we are making the same mistakes or going down a road we have been down before.  But each time we return to a circumstance that repeats, we do so from a different perspective.  We learn more each time.  We can get off the merry-go-round any time we choose.  We have the power to do things a different way.

EARTH: "a parade of army officers in full dress" - What we value (what is important to us) is demonstrated by our duty, honor, and commitment to it.  What we value clearly shows out today, especially within romantic relationships.  Since Venus is retrograde (and shaking up relationships) and Venus and Mars are making conjunction (meeting up) next week, developments within relationships could be rather dramatic -- on parade.

VENUS: "brilliant sunshine just after a storm" - This energetic clears away obstacles and releases things that have been pent up.  Resolutions occur, so this can moderate and bring renewal to issues that the above energies deliver.

MERCURY: "the light of the sixth race transmuted to the seventh" - We come to a higher level of understanding with things and see what needs to be implemented.  Within this energetic, we see the best elements of things and take those with us into the future.  The elements or parts of things that do not serve the highest and best of all involved can remain behind.

MARS: "an old sea captain rocking on the porch of his cottage" - This energetic always brings the need for quiet contemplation and reflection.  We gain a wide view of the status of people, places, and things in our lives and in the world.  Sitting with something before taking action is advised when this energetic is in play.  This is one of my favorite symbols because the sea captain has acquired much wisdom in his life sailing the high seas (or the south seas, as in the Sabian symbol for last lunar month - "a woman and two men castaways on a small island in the south seas"...).  He is rocking on his porch -- his haven -- in a Zen state, watching the world go about its way and observing.  It is much like the wise owl up in a tree energetic.

JUPITER: "black and white children playing happily" - Coming together is the nature of this energetic.  The children are playing happily, not just playing.  If they were just playing, we could expect, as some point, that they might start to fight.  But the symbol says "happily" so division (especially via racism and perceived differences) is a much harder objective.  Jupiter is asking us what makes us happy.  And Venus is asking us if we value it.

Something for everyone today.  Like Mercury, Deliverer of Messages, and his mission of transmuting light today, we take what we can from the message. 

The Moon moves to Full phase tomorrow.  Full light approaches.

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust; magic

Moon in Aquarius

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South; God of Harmonics and Waves)

Skill:  extend yourself

True Alignments:  heightened awareness and intuition, reflection, stopping and going inside oneself to gain insight, time alone, seeing what was denied or hidden, unity, beautiful forms, the archetypal realm, giving

Catalysts for Change:  hung up on perfection, giving up the present and future for the past, giving up, undervaluing people/places/things, confusion, distorted perceptions, fighting the clock, neglect of the body, divide and conquer

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

As a week of intensive astrological energetics continues, today we have the conjunction of Mercury and the Black Moon.  When these two planets come together, it is very important that we watch what comes out of our mouths.  It is very easy to wound with words.  Most of the time these are things that need to be said, but it is best to consider how and where that would be best.

In fact, the Sabian symbol for the degree of the conjunction of Mercury and the Black Moon at 01 Libra is "a butterfly persevered and made perfect with a dart through it."  This energy is about moments frozen in time, so it reminds us to stop and think before reacting.  If there is something important you want to say to someone or if some situation or aspect of your life is under dramatic transformation, "freeze" the situation and think about all of the extensions or outcomes that could result and then plan accordingly.

Today's energy shreds conceptions of time and space into ribbons that flow back and forth and in all directions.  This means that the past may come up or come back in some way.  Memories weave through, asking us to gain a message of wisdom.  Thoughts wander.

With this, the Sun is discharging the energy of "a man becoming aware of nature spirits (elementals) and normally unseen spiritual energies."  So we see or understand what has been invisible or shadowed to us.  The Mercury-Black Moon dynamic today reveals how fear has kept us in denial of or unenlightened about something - probably something related to how well we value ourselves.  The wisdom of nature teaches us something today.

Beginning around 7:00 pm ET/11 pm UT and continuing until midnight ET/4:00 am UT, the Moon will oppose Mars.  This will "fuel" whatever is happening in relationships as Venus continues its retrograde.  Mars is in Leo, so this is "double fire."  Fire, as with all of the elements, can give life to something or take life away.  We are wise to remember this as we communicate with others today.

Today the "month of messages" is in full effect.  Pay attention to subtleties and things that flicker in the corner of your eye.  Something heretofore unseen just may reveal itself.

Gibbous Moon Phase: magic, trust

Moon in Capricorn

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Desire/Will: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: open to receiving a message

True Alignments:  rest, legends, give and take, common bonds, the fellowship of humanity, resolutions, unity of voices, steady work, ancient wisdom, ease, present in the moment, beauty, fun, social

Catalysts for Change: evasive, not paying enough attention to someone or something, caught or trapped, standing in the way of someone's growth, hyper-control of words and language, adjustment issues, racism, panic of feeling boxed in, not feeling good enough or worthy, lack of interaction, loss of common sense, fake, appearance taking on too much importance

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

The Moon has moved to the Gibbous phase (the phase before the Full Moon) and the energetics switch from "big action" happening with things to "big magic" happening with things.

Each of the phases is active or receptive.  The New Moon is when we set intentions and make wishes on stars.  It's active -- masculine -- energy.  The next phase, Crescent, is receptive -- feminine energy.  As the phases of the Moon change, the dance between being active or receptive flows back and forth.

Gibbous Moon phase is a receptive/feminine phase.  The days of the Gibbous Moon phase are the most magical of the lunar month.  Between today and the Full Moon on Saturday, the potential for "paranormally" wonderful things to happen is rather limitless.  The Goddess fills the air with a mist of love and unity.  It's big medicine.  It brings heightened insight, understanding, and awareness to help process the shift that is occurring.  It's actual "medicine" --  the way an aeon would administer it.

Over the next few days, the "medicine" will directly alter the course of events that happen in our lives and in our world.

Within that span of time, today at 6:00 pm ET/10:00 pm UT the Sun and Jupiter will make conjunction (come to the same place in the sky).  The Sun empowers and Jupiter expands, so all things can go to unlimited proportions (feelings, interactions, beliefs, conversations, arguments, actions, responses, reactions, etc.). 

But, the conjunction is at 03 Virgo 21 and the Sabian symbol of "black and white children playing happily together," so things that have seemed separate or different easily come together based on their true nature. 

In a way, we are all children dreaming a dream together, playing on the playground.  The Wisdom Goddess Sophia loves to play and she loves children.  She is a teacher, after all!  Much fear is being heavily loaded into the collective now.  Dramatic events are beginning to ensue.  A wave of peace and sharing is falling over top of all of it.  It softens the energy and we can easily connect with it by (always) going outside and paying attention to nature, but also by opening to receiving something that will help us.  The carrier pigeon of this lunar month's Sabian symbol seeks to fulfill its mission to bring us what we need.

Opening to receiving a message is as easy as taking a deep breath and a deep exhale, clearing space in our heart area for whatever is needed to enter.

Today, we come together as children of the human race to restore the playground to happiness.

First Quarter Moon Phase: step out; take action

Moon in Capricorn

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: see where things overlap, integrate, and interconnect; see things as a whole

True Alignments: seeing the value of what is perfectly imperfect, connection, patience, satisfaction, loving all the parts of things, high standards of quality, integrating ideas, unification, stillness, resilient, flexible, camaraderie and teams, achievements, noting things for the record, the power of memories

Catalysts for Change:  inner loneliness or isolation, focused only on disappointments or how people/places/things have not met unrealistic expectations, fragmentation, perfectionistic, indecisive, self-deprivation, stress, unclear purpose, being afraid to speak up for oneself, rigid routines to maintain a feeling of control

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

A series of significant astrological aspects this week continues today with the Black Moon's entry into Libra, where it will transit until May 16, 2016.  The Black Moon in Libra wants us to see what is truly of value so that balance can be restored.  It involves inclusion and loving things as a whole, not separating out the parts we don't like and pretending they don't exist. 

The Black Moon in Libra strives for perfection, the "ideal," and excellence, and the energy is highly judgmental of self and others.  Since today is the first day of the Black Moon in Libra, a strong wave of judgment enters.  Inner and outer "rebellions" ensue.  Previous parameters, boundaries, rules, ideas, and standards are breached in order to reach better ways.

These are overall themes that will weave through the collective until mid-May, but today the themes may be pronounced since today is the switch from the Black Moon in Virgo into the Black Moon in Libra.  Thoughts and feelings about loneliness and isolation may come into view to reveal something.

Additionally, Venus is retrograde or appearing to move backward in the sky until September 6, which is always an overhaul of what we value (what is important to us).  Venus does not retrograde that often, but when it does, relationships undergo deep transformation.  This happens in our individual lives as well as within the collective of humanity as a whole.  (Those particularly affected by this are those born between February 19-26 and August 23-30.)  So we have the Two Sisters -- the Black Moon and Venus, the dark sister and the light sister -- essentially working together through the first week in September to bring the ultimate level of revelation of what is truly of value.

Wise owls know that what is of value is freedom, truth, and love.  As we watch the beginning stages of a nine-month period of inner and outer rebellion against what is out of balance, we remember that a rectification or realignment is occurring.  This is a dynamic that is aligned with the value and love of life, not stagnation and disintegration.  What appeared as the ideals of the material world begin are beginning to fall away.  This is nothing to fear with this because it all leads to a restoration of true values.

How do the themes of what we value play out in our lives today?  What crosses your mind is worth noting because things could be quite clear.

Tomorrow the Sun will meet up with (conjunct) Jupiter.  Thursday Mercury and the Black Moon will meet up as well.  So we have a lot developing on the field as energetic waves of great shift are upon us and I will cover them then.  For today, let's look to see what is truly coming together instead of what seems to be coming apart.  We remember that the return to love is underway.

First Quarter Moon Phase: take action

Moon in Sagittarius

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The East)

Skill:  aim high; be observant for signs and synchronicities; have faith

True Alignments:  paying attention to fine print or details, going outside the box tactfully, composure, messages and information delivered, hiding, breaking through illusions, release, having caution

Catalysts for Change: missing opportunities or details, excluding others, not taking personal responsibility, rushing, bullying, scapegoating, isolation and reclusion, safety and security feeling threatened

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "the music of the spheres"

The very active Sun has moved into Virgo and today is discharging the energy associated with the Sabian symbol of "a large white cross dominating the landscape stands alone on top of a high hill."  Today we are following a path and on the lookout for signs, information, messages from "on high" that relate especially to:

• SUFFERING and how it is an indication of something that is out of balance. 
• SACRIFICE and the ways it is contrary to the fullest expression of who we are.
• GIVING AWAY POWER to others and how this causes emotional distress and suppression of the spirit.
• INSECURITY and how feeling threatened or unsafe causes missed opportunities.
• WOUNDING and what we learn as we heal the wounds.

These are heavy themes, but this is what comes when the Sun moves into the first degrees of Virgo.  This year, Jupiter has entered Virgo at the same time, expanding the daily dynamics through Wednesday when the Sun and Jupiter meet up at the same place in the sky. 

The planet Chiron is a ruler the sign of Virgo and the Sun is activating (by trine - 120 degrees) the Chiron Point or the degree in the sky where Chiron was located when it was discovered.  When Chiron energy is strongly present, we can wound ourselves with arrows and daggers of self-sabotage, self-sacrifice, perceived failures, distrust, sadness, neediness, and frustration.  Our words can be particularly wounding right now -- to ourselves and others -- so we want to be mindful.

But when Chiron energy is strongly present, it also brings the highest levels of healing and wisdom.  The stellar influence of Chiron enables us to see and bring many different elements of situations together in new/different ways.  As such, Chiron rules alchemy, helping us transform (our minds) from one way, attitude, or outlook to another.  It heals all of the things listed above and will be in full force, as mentioned, through Wednesday.

Virgo is indeed the main story today, and about thirty minutes after midnight Eastern time tonight, the Black Moon will leave Virgo and enter Libra.  The Black Moon has been in Virgo since November 26, 2014.  Fears and issues related to where we think we've failed, how vulnerable and "real" we can be with others, levels of trust, and notions of perceived abandonment by Spirit have been squarely in our faces.  The Black Moon now brings rebirth with these things.  (Those with the Sun or Black Moon in Virgo or Pisces please join me in celebration!)

Many astrological events are happening this week, so stay tuned as we follow the path of the mystic.  Look "up high" for signs and turn to Spirit for healing and wisdom if the energies become overwhelming.  We are safe, secure, and held in the arms of the beautiful "landscape" of Gaia Sophia.

Crescent Moon Phase: challenge, perseverance

Moon in Scorpio

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: see what is coming into form or bring things into form

True Alignments: many options and possibilities, reaching out, putting knowledge and wisdom into action, creating form and structure, stepping back and gaining perspective, going below the surface, growing things, preparation, stability, heritage

Catalysts for Change:  superficial, judgmental, mood swings, self-sacrifice, escapism, pretending to be "deep," uncoordinated efforts, difficulty accepting truth, too much chatter, giving unwanted advice, confused by choices, elitism, egocentric

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "the music of the spheres"

The Sun released a coronal mass ejection from a C3-class solar flare today at 1:27 am ET/5:27 am UT.  Since it has been a while since we've had a CME, new readers (wise owls) see that we look at the position of the Moon at the time of the CME to understand the nature of the energy that was amplified (via the electric universe) with the blast.

The Moon was located at 28 Libra 02 and the Sabian symbol for 29 Libra: "mankind's vast enduring effort to reach for knowledge transferable from generation to generation -- knowledge."  This symbol is about outreach, awareness, and the continuation of heritage. We come together or unify when we have knowledge and understanding.   

Our experiences turn knowledge into wisdom.  The wise take on the adventure of life to experience, learn, and share things.  Our experiences turn knowledge into wisdom.  This is why someone who is very young but has experienced a lot is often wiser than their years.  Age is relative in all things, but especially with wisdom.  The wisdom of the ancient Sabian symbols tells us that the Sun wishes us to know that we are durable and ever-lasting, and that super-human feats of consciousness are not only possible, but inherited.

Interestingly, both Venus and Saturn are at locations of Sabian symbols for Native Americans.  Venus (retrograde) is at 20 Leo and the energy of "American Indians perform a ritual to the Sun."  Saturn is at 29 Scorpio and "an Indian woman pleading with the chief for the lives of her children."  Knowledge of these energetics and wisdom of experience with them tells us that to maintain a good grounded center, we return to the natural or basic elements of situations.  

The combination of these specific symbols with these specific planets would also reveal any place in our lives where we have given or are giving away our power, especially in relationships.  Power and control dynamics show up with this dynamic.  Things can go very deeply with this (very dark even) because the Moon is in Scorpio and building toward a square with Mars.  Exact square of the Moon and Mars occurs around 9:00 pm ET/01:00 am UT.

The Moon rules our emotions and Mars initiates, ignites, and inflames things.  The Moon will be at 7 Scorpio and the energy of the Sabian symbol "deep sea divers;" Mars will be at 7 Leo and "the Moon shining across the lake."  Translation: reflections of the unconscious emerge.  This is an energy where, on the lower octave, people act out their emotions and moods and create drama.  On the higher octave, people are mesmerized by the beauty and reflection of nature, which reveals knowledge.

A bigger wave is developing, however, and something big is coming from it.  Today and tomorrow the Sun is moving into a square (90 degrees away) with Saturn.  At the time of the square, the Sun will be discharging the energy of 29 Leo and "a mermaid emerges from the ocean ready for rebirth in human form."  Remember that Saturn is at "an Indian woman pleading with the chief for the lives of her children."  Rebirth -- renaissance -- is empowered as old power and control systems (and limiting thoughts and beliefs) are pulverized.  Exact square of the Sun and Saturn occurs Friday, August 21 at 7:20 pm ET/11:20 pm UT but will build until then.

Wise owls see what endures, what is transferable, and what is coming into form.

(Note: The Oracle Report will be on break Friday and Saturday and will return on Monday.  Have a nice weekend, everyone!)

Crescent Moon Phase: challenge, perseverance

Moon in Libra

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: accept what is being gradually realized as possible and ideal

True Alignments:  beauty, returning to love, hardy and heart-y, letting go of feeling in the dark or left out, emergence of new ideas, cycles, seeing life as an unfolding adventure, new ventures, revolutionary ideas, justice, truth revealed, aha moments, flower remedies, keeping things simple

Catalysts for Change: restlessness, anxiety, paralyzed by fear of changes, bluntness that is rude, fear of new experiences, distrust, denial of or refusal to accept new opportunities, compromising oneself to remain secure or unchanged, dissatisfaction, not learning lessons or gaining wisdom

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

As the Sun discharges the energy of the Sabian symbol "daybreak: the luminescence of dawn in the eastern sky" today, we gradually start to have realizations, see opportunities, and enter realms of new possibilities.

The Moon will oppose Uranus (which is still located at the Eris Point - 21 Aries) at 10:22 am ET/2:22 pm ET.  To some degree, unexpected things pop up -- things we perhaps did not foresee.  Like the dawn, the light is breaking through.

Stark truth is revealed when light begins to break through.  Venus is retrograde and will be in a trine configuration with Uranus/Eris Point, which means it will amplify, pinpoint, and facilitate what we are being asked by Venus' retrograde, but it will do it in ways that that are deep, lasting, and maybe a little surprising (even shocking).

Venus' retrograde is trying  to evolve or re-align our values.  Venus' retrograde is asking us:

WHAT IS YOUR belief, attitude, character, code, conduct, conscience, ethic, conception, conviction, appraisal, assessment, logic, outlook, idea, reason, rationale, system, standard, sense of duty, sense of honor, truth, view, and wisdom?

WHAT DO YOU adore, treasure, appreciate, cherish, extol, revere, honor, respect, prize, and commend?

These are our ideals of greatness, the main energetic of renaissance, behind the scenes this solar-lunar year.

Today, the music of the spheres (which is everything from the energies of the planets to the mind of God) wants to take us out of an energetic of "night" or "dark night" toward something lighter and brighter.  Light begins to shine on any place where we have lingering feelings of fear, doubt, uncertainty, and loss.

Today's energy is definitely a gradual or progressive thing.  Things build or become clearer as the day grows.  All kinds of things are beginning and being reborn in a new way. 

Renaissance: the luminescence of truth dawns in all of the skies.

Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Crescent Moon Phase: challenge, perseverance

Moon in Libra

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: pay attention to patterns

True Alignments: simplicity seen within complexity, brave-hearted, practice and experience, working through something as a team, seeing where things are improving, giddy about something, maintaining what we value, receiving information and help, seeing that we are more than our emotions, double-checking things that are important

Catalysts for Change: people/places/things going sideways, comparisons to others, competing only for one's personal gain, ignoring what needs maintenance, arrested development and emotionally immature relationships, emotionally insensitive, dead ends, missing key elements due to not listening, alcohol making something worse, dishonorable behavior, shorting or undercutting

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission" (messages, guidance, direction)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

"The constellations of stars in the sky" reveal much today:

REASSURANCE, RELIEF, OR RELEASE: The energies today are very "air-focused" which means breathing air, life, and room into situations.  Heaviness is trying to be lifted from our hearts.  To facilitate this, we can "look up" -- meaning we can turn to a higher power.  (Keep an eye on the skies - especially for birds, as this month the bird tribes are delivering messages.  Different birds have different messages.  Ted Andrews' books and works are recommended.)

TESTING:  Today brings a dynamic that can lead us to test or gauge people, places, and things.  We are trying to "get a read" on where things stand.  Problems are trying to be solved.  The problem is, trying to solve the problem by setting up situations where someone's reaction provides some kind of judgment is actually a manipulation -- a set up.  Thus, it is not an accurate assessment of anything of real.  Direct communication is best for assessment.

PATTERNS:  Since this month, the universe is trying to help us "get the message" (about whatever is important to our course in life), we want to be vigilant to patterns.  If we are receptive or present or, better yet, immersed in the field of consciousness around us (paying attention), we see when things repeat.  An "angel" may be trying to get you to notice something.

The Sun is located at the degree of "after a heavy storm, a rainbow."  Let's engage the living dream today and expand our perception as far as the light spectrum can take us.

(Note:  Since the energy is so airy today and we are watching the skies, here is more that is coming out about the skies, continuing the theme yesterday:

New Moon Phase: intend, begin

Moon in Virgo/Libra (4:23 pm ET/8:23 pm UT

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: pace yourself; pause; see through distortions

True Alignments: catharsis, good tidings, attentive to signs and synchronicities, choices, lightening or loosening up, feeling your luck could change for the better, heightened intuition, inspiration from listening to music, emotional equilibrium, honestly facing feelings, self-discipline, transformation from one state of being to another, releasing a need to be perfect or create perfection

Catalysts for Change: tantrums, suppressed feelings, resistance, jealousy, blown out of proportion, denial, inertia, manic, uncompromising, ageism, attacking the messenger, blocking love, running out of energy, overly-analytical, stark duality/differences, obsession with perfection, uptight, projecting one's own feelings onto others, shadow sides, face to face encounters with the self

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

The quiet Sun and a misty cloud covering the Moon give our psyches an opportunity for pause.  We want to take the opportunity because the energy will distort all kinds of things today.  When we pause to consider, we open a path of communication with Wisdom.

Spirit, higher self, etc. delivers information, guidance, and direction to us on this open path.  This helps us see through the distortions.  We see that anything that is distorting is happening so that we recognize it.  Things go out-of-bounds or are dramatically highlighted with flashing neon lights so that we will see them.  If we are deeply in darkness or denial, the lights are much brighter -- even blinding.  We are supposed to see and understand things about ourselves, our relationships, our world, and our planet right now.

Mercury is discharging the energy of "a volcanic eruption."  Mercury rules communication, travel, messages, information, deliveries, speech, and speed.  Things want to and often do burst out of people's mouths -- things that they have been building up under the surface for some time.  White-hot lava pools of anger can seethe.  Pent-up feelings seek release.  Something inside wants recognition and rectification.

To see and understand things at a deeper level and also to appropriately handle our own and other's feelings, today we leave room to "change our minds" -- meaning look at something a different way.  Room for a change in attitude will alleviate a lot of frustration today.  When we give pause, we can change our thinking.  We can alter the field of experience by looking beyond the distortion - the eruption - and see something more.  What is it really about?  The anger or eruption or feelings are symptomatic of something else.

We don't have to erupt.  We are not at the mercy of anything, especially enemies of the mind.  We can release, and we can do it honorably and with respect for everyone, including ourselves.

The Moon will conjunct the Black Moon in Virgo today for the last time for about the next nine years.  The Sabian symbol for the conjunction, which builds until 2:40 pm ET/6:40 pm UT today, is "having an urgent task to complete, a man doesn't look to any distractions."  We might substitute distortions for distractions.  This energy is about staying true to our path, staying true to ourselves, staying true to our mission.  If something is out of balance with that, it will show up today for us to see.  The past, especially the parts of the past that we've seen as failure, is falling to ash as the Black Moon leaves Virgo.  We remember that the phoenix rises from ashes.

So as the truth about all kinds of things enlightens us today, we will pace ourselves to enable time for pause and time to see the guideposts that are along the way.  We understand that anger and frustration are signs that something needs to change.  We open the path and see beyond the distortions.

Notes: Here is evidence for second renaissance.  This is testimony on CSPAN of "persistent contrails/geo-engineering" aka "chemtrails."  The video is important because the information is entered in public record, but, more immediately, is a precision strike of sobering scientific documentation and will enlighten many who have not understood what is happening in the skies.  Deliver the information with love if you share it.  Volcanic eruptions unnecessary.

Saturday, August 15 - Sunday, August 16, 2015

New Moon Phase: begin, intend

Moon in Virgo

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Desire/Will: Kathe (God of The South, God of Waves)

Skill:  keep an eye on the prize (maintain a positive attitude and watch as renaissance unfolds)

True Alignments: unity, balance, taking a chance, recognizing that there is no going back, combining the "established" and the "innovative," impressive demonstrations, bold, bringing things into equilibrium, ancestors, wisdom gained from past experience and practice, small tokens of affection, stopping something before it can turn into something bigger and possibly destructive

Catalysts for Change: divide and conquer, getting out of control or carried away, unable to move, self-neglect, arousing anger, showing off, tunnel vision, imbalance, wandering attention, trying to remain in the past, spiritual disconnection, projecting shadow sides onto others, hyper-critical, unimaginative, deconstructed

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

The fires of the New Moon in Leo entered yesterday and it is already shaping up to be wild:

1- DORMANT VOLCANO COTOPAXI IN ECUADOR ERUPTS: How interesting that on the eve of the Dormition of The Mother (which remains posted below), a DORMANT or sleeping volcano erupts!  Cotopaxi is a massive volcano with a unique equatorial glacier.  Cotopaxi is a Queche Maya amalgamation of words meaning "Shy Lady" and sometimes "The Neck of the Moon." 

It would seem Mother Earth reminds us (and more to the point, reminds those that seek her destruction) that she is not asleep nor is she weak.  The lunar month's energy of receiving messages, direction, and guidance is received loud and clear.

2- A STRONG TO EXTREME GEOMAGNETIC STORM IS IN EFFECT:  The K- index has jumped to 7+ (G3+), which is massive.  There is a gaping coronal hole on the Sun, but no sunspot activity to speak of.  But there's something special happening with the Sun as...

3- VENUS MAKES INFERIOR CONJUNCTION WITH THE SUN:  Venus, which is retrograde, will come directly between the Earth and the Sun on Saturday, exact conjunction or alignment is 3:21 pm ET/7:21 pm UT.  The conjunction is at 23 Leo and the Sabian symbol of "a bareback rider in a circus displays her dangerous skill."  Energy to masterfully defy the odds - defy the status quo or usual old way bursts onto the scene.  Courage abounds.  This contributes significantly to renaissance.

The conjunction of Venus and the Sun is only one degree off from the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on June 30/July 1, so the situations, circumstances, and events happening then are coming to another level or status now.

4- THE BLACK MOON MOVES TO THE LAST DEGREE OF VIRGO AND THE MOON HAS MOVED INTO VIRGO:  This makes for the last "Black Moon Days" or days when the fear shadows of personal "failures", vulnerability, distrust, and incapability are in full focus.  This won't happen again for 9 years, and I daresay that there will never be another transit of the Black Moon like the transit of the Black Moon as the November 26, 2014 - August 24, 2015 transit of the Black Moon through Virgo (more info in the Special Message for Virgos and Pisces on the homepage of oraclereport). 

The Moon will remain in Virgo, and thus complete the last stage of rebirth for those with the Sun or Black Moon in Virgo or Pisces, until Monday, August 17 at 4:23 pm ET/8:23 pm UT.  In general, it is a time when people tend to project their own fears and feelings onto others.

The last degree of Virgo is the Sabian symbol of "having an urgent task to complete, a man doesn't look to any distractions."  Help to stay on the true course if offered by...

5- JUPITER MOVING TO THE SECOND DEGREE OF VIRGO: And the answer to how to stay on true course comes from the Sabian symbol of "a large white cross dominating the landscape stands alone on top of a high hill."  Stay true to course by staying true to a higher spiritual power.  This is where we place our energy - not on fear.

More is developing, but we keep our aim high as the waves of energy come in this weekend.  And, as always, thank you for sending in snapshots of beauty as you encounter them.  Happy waves of love, everyone!

New Moon Phase: (10:53 am ET/2:53 pm UT) begin, set intentions/goals/wishes, renew

Moon in Leo

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (The Goddess Who Fortifies The Heart)

God of Desire/Will: Kathe (The God of The South, The God of Waves)

Skill:  communicate through and with love

True Alignments: good tidings and well wishes, enhanced communications, prizes, compassion, comforting, giving oneself fully to a situation, breaking through barriers, consideration of consequences, achievements

Catalysts for Change: spreading lies, neglecting body by being "out of body," inability to commut, trying to control the elements of nature, messages that promote fear, loss of balance in life, misunderstandings, resisting new directions and courses

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission" (divine guidance, direction, and purpose)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Today the energy shifts with the New Moon, as last month's "castaways" now receive words of guidance, direction, and purpose - how divine.  This lunar month we begin to understand and integrate all that start happening last month.  It will actually take two lunar months for it all to unfold - that's how much raw information/light for shifting began to come in. 

Lucky for us we have two lunar months that are like month-long Gibbous Moon phase, the time of the year when magic and mystery pepper our psyches to help us understand and integrate.  This year, we have an extended period of time that is "feminine" - receptive.  Between now until October 11, 2015, we are the beneficiaries of the dreaming magic of Gaia Sophia to help us gain wisdom and fall back in love with life.

Please utilize the list of True Alignments (positive imprints) and Catalysts for Change (negative imprints) above for guidance today because I want to spend the time here talking about August 15, "Wave X," or "Kathe's Wave" as I prefer to call it.

What I have to offer to the discussion is that in the Greek Orthodox Church (which, along with the Russian Orthodox Church, is where the ancient Gnostic or worldwide knowledge of Gaia Sophia maintained as much cohesion as was possible) the holiday or holy day of August 15 is known as The Dormition of the Thetokos or the Falling Asleep of The Mother.  It is a memory or remembrance that Gaia Sophia fell asleep or began dreaming soon after her coalescence as a physical being (our planet).

Tomorrow's efforts of the large hadron collider, timed to the Dormition, are an attempt to put Sophia, the planet and thus us, back to sleep.  It's an attempt to take us backwards -- in reverse of life, consciousness, and joy.  It will not work.  But the magic of Kathe's Wave and the ferocity of the Wisdom Goddess Bhairavi to bring us into higher states of spirituality, connection, and UNITY - along with the intentions of beautiful human souls around the planet - are far more powerful than the large hadron contraption.  It simply won't work.  Truth and love prevails now.

How does two months of magic to re-enchant the world sound to you?  Sounds pretty good to me.  No Fear.  Find beauty.  Attend to wisdom.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, clear

Moon in Leo

Goddess of Wisdom: Dhumavati (Goddess Who Closes and Completes)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: release, clear

Catalysts for Change: showing off/bragging/arrogance, conquests, confused, two faced, selfish/only considering one's own needs and desires, conformity, trying to maintain the status quo when it no longer is working, gossip, learned helplessness

True Alignments: taking others into account, impressive displays of the heart, making an effort, rewards for hard work, point of observation, hope, living life, compassion, dreams and aspirations, the "ideal" being revealed, seeing beyond the shadows

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a woman and two men castaways on a small island in the South Seas" (unity)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Today is the last day of the Balsamic Moon phase, the phase where we release any elements (feelings, thoughts, beliefs, etc.) of the past lunar month that we do not want to carry forward into the next lunar month, which begins tomorrow.

One of the good things about following the Moon phases, and thus aligning with natural (nature) cycles, is that it provides a structure or framework for walking through life in conscious connection.  Essentially, we walk a Medicine Wheel with the Divine instead of wandering around willy-nilly or floating in space without any sense of patterns and cycles.  Following the phases is grounding and purposeful.

As we close out this cycle of the Moon (and we do so with the Queen of Closing, Dhumavati), things may feel very transitory or in flux today.  This lunar month has been a turning point, so things that still need to turn a certain way will today.

The Sun will complete the energy of the Sabian symbol "intoxicated chickens dizzily flapping their wings trying to fly."  Things may require extra effort to get going.  Our minds can be scattered when the Sun is here, so we won't be too hard on ourselves about it.  In fact, new opportunities emerge when things scatter.  The mystery of what was unintended - the Unknown - can unfold.

Closings and endings can feel like loss, and this is emphasized by the Earth completing the energy of the Sabian symbol "a woman, disappointed and disillusioned, courageously facing a seemingly empty life."  This is one of the most emotionally-challenging of the 360 symbols.  When we have the courage to face something, the outcome changes; what seemed hopeless or forgone suddenly begins to open into something new and different.  The key here is the courage to face.  And within this lies a certain degree of acceptance.

There is a strong current of energy today that pushes our will -- our desire -- forward.  Actions undertaken for the benefit of all heavily amplified, and actions undertaken to the detriment of all will backfire.

It's very important to consider things from another's point of view or from the other side today.  This is because some things may not be clear to us right now.  Consider how someone else involved may think or feel.

Today also highlights any "places" where we are living in accordance with what others want for us and not in accordance our own will or desire.  This may spark through anger.

The "castaways" on the island in South Seas spot a white bird.  It has something to deliver to them.  "A carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission" is the Sabian symbol for the new lunar month that starts tomorrow.  What could the message be?

(Note: More on the messages of the New Moon in the forthcoming audio overview.  Also, I recorded a "special message to wise owls with the Sun or Black Moon in Virgo or Pisces" last night and it is posted on the front of oraclereport.com.  Hope it sheds some light!)

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Cancer/Leo (4:53 pm ET/8;53 pm UT)

Goddess of Wisdom: Dhumavati (Goddess Who Closes and Completes)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: continue to hold the line and hold the space as shift occurs, especially as the day continues

Catalysts for Change:  unreceptive to change, inexperience, overindulgence in alcohol (this is not a day to take risks with anything is alcohol is involved), putting on too much pressure, disillusioned and disappointed and wallowing in it (it's just a teacher), getting nowhere, trendy, not grounded in the value of the present moment, gloom

True Alignments: endurance, gaining wisdom through reading something unexpected, breaking through illusion, projecting future plans but remaining grounded in reality, originality, reconnecting, humor, patience with self, radiation of inner light

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a woman and two men castaways on a small island in the South Seas" (unity)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (retuning and returning to balance and sanity)

Today's energetics may become progressively confusing and frustrating as the day expands, so let's focus on what's happening beyond this.  When we can see ahead, it makes us feel like we are prepared or more at peace.  It's not necessary to look ahead to feel this way, because we are always held in divine support. 

Nonetheless, let's break it down now in a short summary that I will expand on when the New Moon is Leo overview is recorded tomorrow:

1- THE NEW MOON APPROACHES and with it a new lunar month's type of energy.  The New Moon is in Leo on Friday, August 14 at 10:52 am ET/2:52 pm UT at 22 Leo.  The Sabian symbol for the new lunar month is "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission."  I will talk much more about this symbol in the recording, but this is about communication, messages, waves, and goals.  The point to catch today is that we move out of the watery, emotional realms of Cancer and into the fiery action of Leo.  That's a big elemental change.  So the feelings that come from this sort of switch can be confusing and testing, but ultimately TRANSFORMATIONAL.  This past month has been a shift point - a turning point - when we transition from things being one way to another.  As this lunar month completes over today and tomorrow, shift will happen.

2- VENUS CONJUNCTS THE SUN just a day later on Saturday, August 15 -- a much-discussed day.  Venus is retrograde so it is COMING BACK to the Sun and meeting up at 23 Leo.  23 Leo is the energy of "a bareback rider in a circus displays her dangerous skill."  This is the heart of it.  Shift will be acrobatic. The conjunction of Venus and the Sun happens in tight trine (120 degrees; facilitative) to Uranus, and thus the Eris Point since this is where Uranus is located.  A great deal of anxiety is also built in because, when Uranus is activated, it perturbs or shakes-up people, places, and things.  It can drive people, places, and things crazy if it happens too quickly.  But it is all about putting things in proper alignment with what is highest and best and what is in our destiny.  However, and most importantly, all of this energy provides a great deal of LOVE, which is spreading in waves all over the planet bringing greater truth, freedom, and unity.

3- JUPITER AND THE BLACK MOON WILL MOVE TO NEW DEGREES IN VIRGO on Saturday also.  Jupiter will move to the second degree and the Black Moon will move to the last.  Jupiter goes outward and the Black Moon goes inward as they take the opportunity to make us more luminous - more of the "luminous child" notion, as discussed in the latest "Parliament of Wise Owls" (POWO) posted and linked on oraclereport.com. This dynamic is intense and can feel like being pulled apart.  This is especially true right now for those with the Sun or Black Moon in Virgo or Pisces, and I will post a special audio message to these wise owls later today about what may help the process.

We watch all of the events, circumstances, conditions, and situations today from the perspective of observing shift.  The old is being released so that the new can enter.  We continue to hold the line and hold the space as shift occurs.

A couple of notes:  After listening to the latest POWO where I talked about the hamsters in Andrews computer being way beyond retirement and his need for a new one,, wise owl Leela was prompted to initiate a Go Fund Me.  One dollar combined with many others will make it manifest, so if you are able to donate one, you can do so at

http://www.gofundme.com/WiseOwlAF

It started 16 hours ago and it is about 25% there.

Also, I will be covering the next TWO lunar months in the audio recording with Andrew tomorrow, so we will have a broad perspective of the horizon.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Cancer

Goddess of Wisdom: Dhumavati (Goddess Who Closes and Completes)

God of Desire/Will: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill:  turn to the light for guidance and assistance in rising above

Catalysts for Change: overwhelm of feelings (particularly of failure and vulnerability/exposure and victimization), attempts to dominate, minimizing self or role, malicious, fixated on the past, hopelessness, refusing to see that light is shining, jealousy, denial, overly-competitive

True Alignments: relief, infusions of light, broken "spells," brave face and masks falling away, solace, trust, playing music to feel better, gentle approach, heart-centered, stabilized, rainbows, messages, wisdom revealing itself

Jupiter's thunderbolts and it's Doves of Peace entered Virgo at 7:13 am ET/11:13 today, offering the energy of the Sabian symbol for 01 Virgo: "in a portrait, the best of a man's features and traits are idealized." Since this is the degree where Venus went retrograde on July 25, the themes of seeing the truth are activated once again. 

And for a jump ahead, after Venus begins to move forward again, it will come back to this degree --01 Virgo-- and re-activate the massive "truth" energy associated with it on October 8, just prior to the very important Libra lunar cycle that begins on October 12.  Events between today and Saturday correlate directly back to July 19-31 and then to October 12, so we can make a note and track the pattern -- the evolution of the situations, circumstances, and conditions taking place.

That said, it's a hard slam and a deep dive for Jupiter to enter Virgo while the Black Moon is trying to leave it.  Jupiter stands at one end of Virgo and the Black Moon at the other.  Jupiter expands.  The Black Moon reveals.  We are in the middle.  Hyper-expansion, hyper-criticism, hyper-self-criticism, hyper-perceptions of failure, hyper-focus, hyper-martyrdom, hyper-self sabotage, hyper-self-persecution are what come from this combination of the planets.

What do we do?  We hit the "hyper drive" and move out of it, rise above it.  All that is needed to do this is provided by the energetics of the Sun and the Earth today.  The Sun is disseminating "American Indians perform a ritual to the Sun" and the Earth is disseminating "a large white dove bearing a message."  We turn to the light for guidance and assistance.

When Jupiter went into Virgo earlier today, the Moon was in opposition with Pluto.  This adds a hyper-emotional but hyper-transformational element to the process.  TRUTH and losing illusions remains at high levels until Saturday, August 15 at 10:19 pm ET/Sunday, August 16 at 2:19 am UT.  Denial is broken and delusions are shattered as truth, light, peace, and love override everything.

As discussed yesterday, the Moon in Cancer during a Balsamic Moon phase makes things very, very watery, emotional, and fluid.  This continues to be the case today so we moderate that by slowing down, taking deep breaths, going outdoors, connecting with nature, seeing beyond the surface of what is showing, bravely facing whatever we see about ourselves or others, and accepting the real truth of matters.

Guidance and assistance is found today through prayers or requests or questions to Spirit and then saying thank you.  What we need to know or see or hear or do will soon become evident.  This we know from the Sabian symbols of the "American Indians sun ritual" and the "large white dove carrying a message."

All of this is leading, as we are leading, into the New Moon at the energy of the Sabian symbol of "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission."  Today, we get the message and we see it unfold throughout the next lunar month.  We attend to its wisdom.

(Note: Episode 4 of "Parliament of Wise Owls" was recorded yesterday, so that will be available soon.)

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Cancer

Goddess of Wisdom: Dhumavati (Goddess Who Closes and Completes)

God of Desire/Will: Kathe (God of The South, God of Peace, God of Frequencies, Harmonics, and Waves)

Skill: flow with things as they go into new places 

Catalysts for Change: vanity, lost in illusion or fantasy, driven to distraction by negativity, trying to control others, not seeing reality, not facing what is clear and evident, greed, unsupportive, unappreciative, forcing

True Alignments: recognizing the blessings in one's life, reassurance, stress relief, due diligence, driven to distraction by positivity, silver linings, infusions of spirit, enthusiasm, chain of events, happiness

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a woman and two men castaways on a small island in the south seas"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

We enter the fluid and dreamy Balsamic phase of the Moon today.  The Moon has just moved into Cancer, a water sign, enhancing the fluidity and openness that is characteristic of Balsamic Moon phases.  It is the last of the eight phases of the Moon, and it exists outside time and space to some degree because it is a transition time.  During Balsamic, we release anything that we what we do not want or need to carry with us into the impending lunar month.  Cleansing waters of consciousness flood the field with breaking waves to refresh and renew.

The veils between the worlds are thinnest during Balsamic Moon phase.  Spirit is breathtakingly close.  It is a beautiful thing if we are able to let go of the controls.  A higher power seeks to untangle us from restrictions so that we can begin anew with the New Moon.  This energy is in effect until the New Moon this Friday, August 14.

Today, the Sun is discharging the energy of "a houseboat party."  It is energy of "unmooring," so we have another element of fluidity (or not feeling totally in control) with this.  This energy takes things into new areas, new "places."  Structure and support is there, but insecurities can also flare.  The more we can release to the flow of events the better.  But let's not forget the "party" part of the symbol, because blessings or causes for celebration also accompany this.

Mercury is blazing a trail through Virgo, preparing the way for Jupiter (which moves into Virgo tomorrow) and eventually for the Sun and Venus.  Mercury is moving from "a man becoming aware of normally unseen nature spirits" (heightened abilities to perceive) to "a merry-go-round" (repeating patterns of behavior, oftentimes repeating mistakes).  We are open to receiving information, messages, and insights from which we gain wisdom.  This time around, the signs and synchronicities may not be so hard to ascertain.  What we see, become aware of, or understand may be quite direct and dramatic.  We are, indeed, losing our illusions.

Emotions definitely run high with all of this.  Mood swings and interpersonal conflicts are by-products.  If feeling of overwhelm begin, step back and let the wave move through and around you.  The idea is to release, not contain.  These waves are ultra-powerful; we don't want to resist them, we want to flow with them.

All in all, it's a dreamy, fantastical type of day when we can let the universe show us the way.

Saturday, August 8 - Sunday, August 9, 2015

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, complete

Moon in Taurus

Goddess of Wisdom: Dhumavati (Goddess Who Closes and Completes)

God of Will/Desire: (God of The South, God of the Field of Experience)

SKill: remain aligned with the value and respect for life

Catalysts for Change: harsh judgment of self or others, frustrated by the ignorance or lack of understanding of others, seeing only one's own point of view and disregarding others', idealizing the past, old battles in the mind, bossy, exploiting a situation for personal gain at the expense of others, reacting in an old way, self-punishment, inability to accept good

True Alignments: revelations, resolution of contracts/agreements/promises, caring for others, things becoming unstuck, recovery, renewal, insecurities being improved and fears resolved, standing up for others, taking personal responsibility, bringing air to situations, organizing, improvement of systems and practices

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a woman and two men castaways on a small island in the South Seas"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

The Third Quarter Moon phase is the time of the lunar month when we look back to the New Moon phase, see how the energy has manifested, and make any revisions or adjustments that need to be made to complete or advance things.

The New Moon phase of this lunar cycle was July 15-19.  Think back to what was transpiring in your life then.  The energetics of "a woman and two men castaways on a small island in the South Seas" began to unfold then.  In the outer world, this manifested in complex relationship dynamics and interactions.  In the inner world, our feelings and intentions tried to find unity and peace.

Today, the Third Quarter Moon phase energy of revising, closing, and completing things sweeps through.  Two other elements enhance the effects.  The Sun (identified as Sabaoth to the Gnostics) is disseminating the energy of "brilliant sunshine just after a storm," and Dhumavati, the goddess who sweeps away obstacles and barriers or anything that needs to end, is working overtime.  "The Way" (for anything) is being cleared.

Added to this, Mercury will leave the firestorms of Leo and enter the manicured lands of Virgo today.  This occurs at 3:16 pm ET/7:16 pm UT.  Mercury rules our mental processes and communications.  Mercury will move through Virgo until August 27, so beginning today and continuing until that time, our thoughts, ideas, and communications become more "grounded."  What we value becomes even more clear.  Our choices and actions directly align with what we value whether we are conscious of what is happening or not.

Since Mercury is entering Virgo, it joins the Black Moon in Virgo.  It is all the more important that communications remain respectful now.  It is very easy to wound with words when Mercury and the Black Moon are in play together.  The energy of the Sabian symbol of "a boxer entering a ring" is hyper-dominant right now, so we remember the wisdom of becoming the ring (unifying) -- not engaging in "combat" with our fellow humans nor tearing them down (which de-values life itself).  The highest octaves of Virgo are healing, teaching, and demonstrating love, so we put our minds (Mercury) there.

While we are looking back to the beginning of the this lunar month and reassessing things, let's not forget that this month is a massive shift point and transition time.  Right turns are being made; big changes -- life altering changes -- are happening.  A realignment toward what is in accordance with the value and love of life is happening at all levels of our lives and the world. 

The best of what is around is becoming better.  The worst of what has been is turning to dust.  It takes a wise owl -- a spiritual warrior -- to remain true as it shifts.  This, we do.

Disseminating Moon Phase: communicate, share

Moon in Taurus

Goddess of Wisdom: Dhumavati (Goddess Who Closes and Completes)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: watch for important information; maintain a stance of equilibrium as energies swirl in intensity

Catalysts for Change: overwhelmed or immobilized by the amount of chatter/information/options/emotions, commitment issues, disorganized or strewn about, noisy, feelings of unworthiness, egocentricity, over-emphasis on one specific area

True Alignments: concentrated focus within chaos, unity, connecting with like-minded people, companionship, commitment, achievements, new possibilities, objective perspective, celebrations, rewards, tasteful, appreciation, ancient wisdom

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a woman and two men castaways on a small island in the South Seas"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Three major events are happening in the skies today to switch up the energies:

10:19 am ET/2:19 pm UT: Mercury conjuncts Venus at 28 Leo and the energy of "many little birds on the limb of a large tree."  This energetic brings dizzying communications, information, and options.  With Mercury, planet that rules mental processes and the processing of information, this could lead to some headaches, literally.  Things may be all over the place.  It is overall good, though, because what develops today is important.  This combination brings all kinds of messages, synchronicities, and signs.

3:21 pm ET/7:21 pm UT: Jupiter moves to the last degree of Leo and the energy of the familiar "an unsealed letter."  Venus disseminated this degree (July 16-18) before it went retrograde.  Many things started to come to light in our lives and in the world at that time.  Jupiter will only expand this, bringing more truth to light.  Jupiter will discharge this frequency of energy until August 11 during the Balsamic Moon phase.  Balsamic Moon phase "loads in" and "leads in" to the New Moon, so everything that has been cracking into the light since July 16 is being amplified and will continue to unfold during the entire next lunar month.  Jupiter is mighty and its effects expand in waves.

11:19 pm ET/3:19 am UT: The Black Moon moves to the 29th degree of Virgo and the energy of "a man gaining secret knowledge from an ancient scroll he is reading."  The Black Moon has almost completed its transit (journey) through Virgo and now begins to offer the wisdom that begins to come from the completion of something.  This energy is all about wisdom that is ancient - wisdom that is in our souls.  If we attend, wisdom will be revealed.  Magic abounds and the mysteries return with this and will be in effect until August 15.  (This means it will be in place at the New Moon and thus will continue to play out throughout the next lunar month.)

Within this whirling dervish of a day, we aim for contentment, peace, kinship, and the illumination of wisdom.

Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Aries/Taurus (9:31 pm ET/01:31 am UT)

Goddess of Wisdom: Dhumavati (Goddess Who Closes and Completes)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Skill: acceptance

Catalysts for Change: breaking down (let it happen naturally and appropriately, you will feel better from the release), doing things the hard way, resistance, confusion, indecision, instability, distrust, need for recognition

True Alignments: breaking through, transformation, patience, expression, listening to inner wisdom, prompted to follow something, messages from Spirit, freeing up situations and allowing solutions to emerge, transition, good timing, cutting through obstacles

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a woman and two men castaways on a small island in the South Seas"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Deeply penetrating energetics are going to the core of things today to bring about rebirth or re-emergence into a new forms.  Consider the nature of the frequencies of the planets today, today's music of the spheres:

SUN - "cherub-like, a human soul whispers, seeking to manifest" (after a deep insight or realization, our personal energy seeks freedom from limitations and pain)

EARTH - "a train entering a tunnel" (going deep or going into darkness while assured of an ending and of the return of light)

MERCURY - "daybreak - the luminescence of dawn in the Eastern sky" (rebirth, new beginnings and opportunities, the dark recedes and a chance to begin again opens)

VENUS and JUPITER - "a mermaid emerges from the ocean ready for rebirth in human form" (transformation, manifestation of new forms, renewal, heights of creative inspiration and love)

MARS - "a Greek muse weighing newborn twins on golden scales" (balance, new beginnings, equal chances, decisions, wisdom, heights of creative inspiration and love)

See the pattern?

In the background, Dhumavati, an emissary of the goddess Gaia Sophia, sweeps through to complete cycles of life and experience.  Kathe, an emissary of the god Thelete, breathes life into the field of experience.  All of this is great, but it can really wipe us out. 

Today, it is a good idea to surrender to the process.  To do this, we accept.

We can, as Emerson said, "accept the place the divine providence has found for [us]" on one day, and on another, actively engage the field to change course.  We are wise to let frequencies of energy do the work of ascension when the stellar dynamics are this active.  Higher forces are trying to lift us up if we let them.

With the energetic of this lunar month's Sabian symbol of the castaways, one of the over-arching dynamics is related to decisions.  Today's influence of the Greek musing weighing on scales  brings an added element to this.  The scales are "golden" so we continue to watch financial markets in this highlighted time.  We are also vigilant to ensuing geopolitical events (and ongoing drills).  But decisions should not be forced today.  If things are unclear, step back and allow the field to re-arrange.

The energies penetrate deeply today to rectify, revise, and rebirth.  We aim to gracefully accept.

Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Aries

Goddess of Wisdom: Dhumavati (Goddess Who Completes and Closes)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South, God of the Winds of Experience)

Skill: perceive subtleties; take in a bigger picture

Catalysts for Change: fear of change, injecting drama, testing people, pushing forward and not stopping to rest, poor preparation, unmotivated, lack of self-confidence, denial, manipulation

True Alignments: see below

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a woman and two men castaways on an island in the South Seas"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

The big story today is the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter at the 29th degree of Leo and the Sabian symbol "a mermaid emerges from the ocean ready for rebirth in human form."  This is the second meet-up of the two and it is happening again because Venus is retrograde,  Venus retrograde re-works things.

Today directly connects back to June 30, when Venus and Jupiter made the first conjunction.  The themes, projects, situations , issues, and events that were occurring at that time are being revisited now.  They are undergoing transformation into something different, something renewed and refreshed.  Think back to what was going on then.  Are those things being re-worked now, with new eyes?  Has your perception changed?

Since Venus is involved, the focus of this centers heavily on the relationship we have with ourselves and our relationships with others.

To gain further insight, we look to the position of the Sun and the nature of the energy it is disseminating today.  The Sun is at 13 Leo and the energy of "an old sea captain rocking on the porch of his cottage."  The wisdom of experience that the sea captain has acquired creates an inner peace and quiet confidence from which multiple observations and perceptions can be made.  Bigger pictures are taken in, and this happens to be Jupiter's specialty.

Sea captains sailing the South Seas encounter the following today:

BRIDGING - Taking people, places, and things to new places; bringing different people, places, things, and ideas together; constructing or creating things that will influence the future

CALCULATION - Insight and intuition kicks in to help us glean subtleties; the measure of things is taken; perceptions enlarge; responses are more deliberate

ENDURANCE - Long journeys are coming to an end; needs of body, mind, and soul are addressed and secured; luck changes at the last minute; the Divine intervenes to bring relief

EMERGENCE - A subtle re-balancing of energies is occurring to shift resources.  The structure of our lives and the structure of our perception of time is changing.  Light is being cast in new ways.  We see the perimeter of new forms (of all aspects of life) taking shape.

Sailing the South Sea of Oneness is intended to be a glorious adventure today.  Venus and Jupiter seek a complete overhaul to help humanity transform and emerge NEW and FREE.  Today, we perceive the subtleties of renaissance.
