Good & Bad Days in August 2017

The scene for August will be ominous.

  • Five Planets—Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto—in retrograde
  • A Lunar Eclipse on August 7 followed by a total Solar Eclipse on August 21 that will sweep across the most influential country in the world—the United States
  • Chiron, the harbinger of pain and Uranus, the Planet of unexpected upheavals, rebellion, lawlessness, lightning storms, and earthquakes will be prominent during the Solar Eclipse

There will be some good days in August; but there will also be days we need to be extra careful and vigilant.  Avoid crowded places and altercations.  Keep your vibe up.

There are days to avoid in August if you are:

  • Planning an important event
  • Beginning a new project
  • Proposing marriage or getting married
  • Purchasing expensive items
  • Beginning a treatment protocol or having surgery
  • Signing a contract and purchasing a vehicle (other than the dates listed below,  avoid Mercury Rx beginning August 13 thru September 5 )

Eclipses: Cosmic Upgrades

QUICK FACTS

  • Eclipses are quite common.  We usually have two sets of eclipses each year.
  • They usually come in pairs and are 14 days apart
  • Solar Eclipses occur when the Moon is new; Lunar Eclipses occur when the Moon is full
  • Their influence, usually a life-changing event, can happen within the next five months or so.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN ECLIPSE

A lot of people buy a computer and use it without upgrading its software until it conks out.  They take the computer to a technician or junk it.  It doesn't take much effort to keep a computer running; one of the best ways is to keep its software updated. . . .  Read more

Do You Want Power

Do you want power?

“I don’t know.  I just want my life to improve.”

If you want your life to improve, you must have  Power.

Many think they have power, but all they can really assemble is force.

Every minute, somewhere in the world, cities and people are taken by force thru airplanes, armaments, bombings and bloodshed.

Force requires tremendous effort.  On the other hand, power is effortless. . . .  Read more

So Small Are We

That's a fair statement when we think Planets exist outside us.

But Planets—from the Sun to Pluto—also reside within us. They are like the apps inside your phone or gadget. On that note, we can also say "gee, we're pretty BIG."

Let's see if we can up-size our concept of Self. . . .  Read more

Return to Eden

We sometimes wish the world was all good and beautiful.  But think how hard it would be to appreciate someone’s love or how precious of a gift kindness is if we have never been the object of harshness.

Such was our problem in Eden.

The only way we can appreciate the gifts in the garden such as happiness, love, and peace is to know its opposites.

We return to Eden the very moment we understand why we left.

The Spirit of the Law

THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW
Saturn Rx, Apr 6-Aug 26

“The spirit of the law” is the resounding theme for this Saturn Rx period.

“The letter of the law versus the spirit of the law is an idiomatic antithesis.  When one obeys the letter of the law but not the spirit, one is obeying the literal interpretation of the words (the “letter”) of the law, but not necessarily the intent of those who wrote the law.”

—Wikipedia

Understanding the spirit of the law is often overlooked when a person commits a violation.

Not this time; within the Rx period, Saturn will make sure you understand the spirit of the law, and that you will take corrective action.

The Rx period began on Dec 30, 2016 and will last thru Dec 1, 2017; it will peak when Saturn in Sagittarius turns Rx beginning on April 6 thru Aug 26.

Begin: Dec 30, 2016
End: Dec 1, 2017
Peak: Apr 6 thru Aug 26, 2017

ABOUT SATURN IN SAGITTARIUS
Combine the keywords below to understand “Saturn in Sagittarius.”

• To understand Saturn, think discipline, structure, boundaries, limits, expertise, authority, a parent (usually the more controlling one), business & financial institutions, career, maturity, mastery, and wisdom

• To understand Sagittarius, think about the following archetypes: The Philosopher, The Teacher, The Guide, The Traveler, and The Free Spirit

WHAT TO EXPECT & WHAT TO DO
• Pay attention to all things ruled by Saturn including discipline, structure, boundaries, limits, expertise, and authority

• When you are called out for not following a law, boundary or guideline, dig up the “spirit of the law” you violated

• Do not fall into victim-syndrome

• Do not result to blame-shame-guilt

• BIG TIP: Turn to the Sagittarius archetypes (see previous section).  Choose one; take stock of the archetype’s unbalanced and balanced qualities. Review your violation and what you plan to do to correct your wrongdoing. Am I coming from balance or unbalance? What do I need to do to achieve balance?

Using The Philosopher as an example—

Unbalanced or Detrimental Qualities: Analysis-paralysis, justifying a wrongdoing, looking for a way to save one’s neck, not owning up to responsibilities, looking for a scapegoat or someone to blame

Balanced or Benign Qualities: Reviewing and understanding the spirit of the law, acting based on what will bring about the highest good for all vs. saving one’s neck

• Correct your wrongdoing, misstep or mistake immediately

• BIGGEST TIP: The most important is, demonstrate to the other party that you understand the spirit of the law.

 

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PLANET TURNS Rx
• A Planet moves forward, stops and then moves backward, stops again, and then moves forward. The movement looks like the letter Z.

Direct: Moves forward
Retrograde Station: Stops
Retrograde: Moves backward
Direct Station: Stops
Direct: Moves forward again

 

 

 

• THREE STRIKES. If you have a natal Planet that falls within the “Rx degrees,” know it will trigger three events in your life. Hopefully, by the third strike you would have learned the lesson the Planet brings. For this Saturn Rx period, the degrees are: 21°-27°.

• ALL WILL BE AFFECTED. If you do not have natal Planets in 21°-27°, you will still get wind of the theme. Read the news. Scroll down your Facebook news feed. Look around you. Be observant and open to learning.

• If you know how to read charts, you will be able to tell:

1. THE TRIGGER – The people, situation and area of your life the change will come from
2. THE NATURE – The kind of change or over-all energy
3. THE SITUATION – The area of your life receiving the change
4. ADDED EFFECT – In some cases, not all, the situation will affect other areas of your life
5. EXACT DATES & DURATION

Astrology is a tool to raise one’s consciousness and maintain awareness. If you can identify the trigger, the nature, the situation, the other areas of your life that will be affected, and the exact dates ahead of time—you can save yourself from a lot of trouble and heartache, and know how to better deal with life situations.
