Tuesday August 21
The Moon makes its final Cardinal contacts today as it conjoins Saturn and then Mars late in the day to give us the last shot of the urge to bond before Mars leaves Libra. We could charm a snake from a cat’s vagina just by snoring. We could steer a tank with our diction even if you numbed our tongue with a lethartonic unguent. This is another moment of truth that leads us to make commitments and release old ones if we haven’t tied up those loose relationship ends yet.
Wednesday August 22
The Moon tags the Sun as it reaches Regulus, the Heart of the Lion, to add the punch of courage to our actions. Its brief void period commences at 0:13 am PT, which ends at 3:58 am (6:58 am ET) upon its entry into Scorpio. . Scorpio represents the period from 42 years old to Death, when ones sense of Time compacts and passes rapidly. Since this stage is the last in the life of the human biological machine, it's now time to transcend the confines of the mortal body and to assure continued existence, either you breed (pass on your DNA) or step out of the loop (become your DNA). On the World scale, Scorpio is between AD 1100 and AD 1500, when the Dark Ages reached their peak. This is the Time of the Crusades and the Inquisition, when Pain, Bloodshed and Oppression swept over Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, after the uneasy alliances made during Libra. This is the sign of the Shadow. Successfully navigated, one can experience healthy, flowing spontaneous sexuality, an acceptance of Death and an integration of i ts reality into daily life, thus gaining a sense of the immortality of consciousness. A trine to Neptune before we awaken infuses our dream state with visions of truth and future. The Sun enters Virgo at 10:07 am to bring forth the Priestess archetype for the coming month. A soft Moon contact to Pluto helps us bring harmony from the depths, and Mercury finally clears its retrograde shadow with its third sextile to Jupiter. This is a good day for agreements, an opportunity to clear up what is still unsaid or undone from the Mercury retrograde. The Sun squares the Moon’s (Mean) Nodes to bring to the surface unfinished business from mid-May. We have three more months to complete the directives we took on then, but the urge to “make it so”, already strong in August, is thus amplified.
Thursday August 23
Although the Moon is not far into Scorpio, it loses contact with the other bodies at 2:34 am (5:34 am ET) to commence a void period that lasts until 3:50 am (6:50 am ET) tomorrow. This inclines us to go deep inside and see what’s brewing in the unseen world, as well as to complete what remains on the surface. The depth dive is augmented when Mars enters Scorpio at 8:24 am (11:24 am ET), a sign of its rulership. For I say unto you: it would be easier for a honeypossum to sculpt a perfect likeness of Aleister Crowley out of marmalade and motor oil than it would be to escape the effects of Mars in Scorpio. Mars was very strong in Libra but challenging in this sign of its detriment; now in rulership it is stronger and easier to manage if we refine our emotion-driven willpower with discipline to create what we may have lacked the resilience to accomplish up to now.
