August is a very intense month with a Lunar and Solar Eclipse with repercussions throughout the American social landscape for some time to come.  Eclipses are super powerful endings as well as beginnings and we look at them as extra powerful New and Full Moons. These eclipses will have lasting impact in the cycle of endings at least for another half year.

”This Solar Eclipse in Leo involves the archetype of kingship – leadership, in other words.  It is triggering that Aquarian Moon in the USA chart, the sign of revolution, genius, and either breakthrough or breakdown.  Since we are talking about an eclipse, we know that something must die to make way for a different future.

Remember that not everything would happen right on August 21. The rest of the month is active too.  Some events rooted in the eclipse will be further triggered by the arrival of Mars on the eclipse-point around September 2, the arrival of Venus there on September 18, and the square aspect of Mars to that point on January 23, 2018. (Steven Forrest)

Also the eclipse happened on the Leo Ascendant of Trump who will be strongly impacted personally and as the head of state. Health problems relating to Leo might be centered around the heart and the sustenance of the core life force. Trump has his Mars right on his ASC which could mean violent action towards him (possibly an assassination) or he is dishing it out himself by starting a war, trying for a dictatorship something along those lines…

With all this happening and continuing throughout September we are not out of the woods yet.

Why Moon Astrology?

As you know the Moon is always pivotal to short term decisions, your emotional set point and your ability to thrive in life. Your Moon position in your birth chart will give you guidance as to what you need to experience in order to be happy in your life. Therefore the Moon plays a big role in electional astrology, to delineate the power of the universal clock in the heavens and how to make use of it for successful decisions and beginnings. These are the reasons while eclipses, New Moons and Full Moons are always strong trigger points throughout the month and the year.

In September we will have a Full Moon in conjunction with Neptune September 6, at 14 degrees of Pisces at 12:02 am PST

Pisces gives you the gift of love, compassion, and empathy for others and a deepened inner spiritual dimension. Moments of higher consciousness are available to you.

With the added energy of Pisces to the volatile eclipse mix you are offered the chance of a whole new vision of life and a re-connection with your dreams. This can happen for each one of us as an individual as well as a nation. If we want change to happen we need to be the change. Remember you are the hands of the divine in action. It is up to you to integrate these Piscean energies from the highest frequency of divine love.

New Moon Sept 19-20, at 27 degrees of Virgo at 10:29 pm PST

As you know, every New Moon starts us on a new journey of emotional maturation depending upon the sign. With a New Moon in Virgo you will become more aware that there is a true need in you to share from your heart. Masterful teacher Tony Robbins talks about the 6 human needs; and the 6^th one is the need to contribute to the bigger good. I deeply believe that in order to be truly happy we need to let go of the tiny, ego fixated perspective of ME and instead, experience our individuality in the framework of service to our family, friends and community. This is when we feel deeply satisfied, useful, happy and fulfilled.

There are a lot of truly awesome people of all colors, nationalities and religions out there. Don’t let the minority of haters and Trumps screw your life’s vision and the future on your planet. 

Ask yourself how YOU can aspire to that highest level of consciousness we call LOVE. Allow yourself to be divinely inspired and up-lifted to your highest vision of who you can be. Every miraculous achievement starts with a dream which seems to be impossible in the beginning…
