WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16
Morning can be rather tense, with feisty Mars in quincunx to top boss Pluto. We should not underestimate the power of Earthritual/ interlock/ and the focused magnetism of emotion. If we would like less catastrophic weather change, this is specifically the engineering we must learn. Like man, the weather participates or partakes of both Earth and Sky. These planet-wide weather up-heavals are literally and specifically, collective emotions. Only if we can emote collectively and braid our ecosystems with coherent emotion can we save our future. This is no arbitrary test for survival of our genepool. It is the perfect test. If we can learn to braid electrical space with the harmonics which love weaves, then we have passed the "ring pass knot" gate to the privilege of doing that same activity for the braid creation of star systems and galaxies with our similar but much unpacked and blossomed electrical bodies. Love is not just a good idea, it's the LawMoon follows the footsteps of the warrior planet, also squaring Neptune, for a combination that’s bold but potentially discordant. Use this energy to declutter, weed your garden and, if you have visualization materials, go through them and discard obsolete goal or pictures. The tensions eases somewhat at 12:29 pm (3:29 ET), when Moon in communicative Gemini harmonizes Mars and then Jupiter. Set a limit, ask for forgiveness, or somehow voice an uncomfortable truth. This energy can also be used to follow through on something related to sales or promotion that you began before July 25. People who didn’t help before may now do so. Whoever you seek out, remember to give things the light touch, with Pluto still in the rub-zone of recent triggers from Venus and Mars. If you’re up for it, a late night square between benefics n order to be anything one might label as free and liberated, anarchic and chaotic in a fundamentally positive sense, one has, as an artist and writer, to accept LOVINGLY the state of constant flux as a more viable description of personal reality, as validated more and more by the more intelligent application of particle physics and advanced mathematics…. Once the atom was split, and consciousness was split by psychedelics, and literature and painting were radicalized by the process of the “cut-up”, and behavior was made malleable by contemporary, functional and intuitive new magickal ritual by collectives all preconceptions had to be suspended once and for all in favor of an immersion in possibility and individual refuting of the despotism of all forms of conceptual and media ideologies of linearity. Once Burroughs and Gysin split the cultural atom in a meticulous and methodical manner, all models of reality were up for grabs. Linearity is defunct, long live particularity. Metaversal Lightcraft is both prophetic and practical. A manual of discontent, built from the individually validated and selected building blocks of consensus stagnation in order to co-opt and author language and SELF, both as a protest against bigotry and creative denial, and as an example to all. What we are totally engaged in right NOW! is a battle over authorship of our own story. “Over narrative” itself. Existence, experience is no longer a fixed and linear program. We can re-engineer the genetic text, adjust absolutely our inherited behavior, and attack the very foundations of pre-modern culture and stasis. We have become capable of, and responsible for, asking the correct questions. At last…we are given the impeccable revelation of infinite malleability of incontrovertible subjective reality as an experiential validation. Everything is true, and everything is permitted.
Venus and Jupiter is great for creative inspiration and creating relational, PR or promotional strategies.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 17
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Earth, Asiah. If you don't have a good laugh today, you are missing the point. There is a whole division of the Angelic Hierarchy assigned to the sephiroth Chesed (Jupiter) whose purpose is divine inspiration through laughter. And there is no vision more critical in the career of the adept than the Metaversal Joke. Everyone laughed when I sent my dog Xero to the Canine Academy Of Design, but they won't be laughing today when he continues to shit all over their lawn. Speaking of Shitshows, Yesterday’s fortuna contuna caused it to flow during Moon’s short “break,” when she goes VOC at 6:38 am (9:38 ET), then enters Cancer at 9:13 am (12:38 ET), reinforcing the vibrations of Venus in the sign of the crab and bringing the love planet’s square to fortunate Jupiter into relief. With a numerology of 8, the rest of the day is apt for attending business previously begun, and for removing unwanted bull shit furnishings and otherwise simplifying our space in preparation for the upcoming Solar Eclipse New Moon.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 18
This morning, Moon in sensitive Cancer trines psychic Neptune in Pisces, the sign of its rule. Today’s number 9 is about dispersal and giving something back—it’s a wonderful time to pray for and/or with another, give away knowledge, or support a cause. Venus and Moon, the two sweetest planets, make tense contacts to ambitious Saturn and powerful Pluto respectively, giving us a chance to review the impact our goals may have on dear ones, relationships, or our own souls.
This is a good afternoon to release situations, habits and things that might be taking a toll on more subtle priorities. The starwaves mellow at 9:05 pm (12:05 am ET) when Moon joins affectional Venus. We can enjoy a late date or pillow cuddle.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 19
With Moon in Cancer connecting with Chiron the wounded healer along with Uranus the liberator,
this morning is great for preparing for Monday’s Eclipse. We can successfully work on emotional healing,
forgiveness, and we can release behaviors and situations that don’t resonate with our true selves.
At 10:55 am (1:55 pm ET), Moon enters Leo. It’s a lovely time to gather with friends, organize an Eclipse ritual or
party, and begin to think about the talents we each have and could be sharing to help the world.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 20
The A .'. A .'. Rites of Eleusis continue today with "The Rite of Sol" which will take place on both coasts of the U.S.of A. today. Lincoln Beach, Oregon and Greenville, South Carolina. With the Moon in Leo as the Sun rises, some may shave Celtic crosses on the rumps of consenting pooches and airbrush infrared barcodes on the haunches of catnip-tripping felines, but most won’t. Leo represents the period of when as children we begin primary school, which is the first detachment from the family structure, where we learn to make relationships and satisfy the need to be loved in the world. Games provide a way to relate to others and they teach us to accept and make rules, the basis for being able to structure our lives (from 7 to 13 years old). On the World Scale, Leo is between 3,000 to 800 BC when both the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations flourished, when religion became monotheistic, where one being represented or was, God on Earth. During this Time of Pharaohs and Kings, Lion images proliferated in architecture and monuments, for the Lion is of course, King of Beasts. With the Moon in Leo today we may be seeking romance with a flare for the dramatic..Don’t let an insecure ego run rampant trying to overcompensate for what you think you don’t have. It’s easy to turn emotional incidents into high drama. Build emotional security by using your willpower. Be romantic. Love. Revel in the warmest kindest most tender parts of yourself. Clarity comes in the morning on Mercury sextiles to Neptune and Chiron. If you remember your dreams, take note. They contain the seeds of solutions to areas where you feel blocked. The Beast of War will continue to ravage the globe today, and there will be nothing on TV except reruns of curling matches and infomercials about wheatgrass grow-kits. Mercury later squares Uranus, adding volatility to our speech and mood, and bringing unexpected plot twists into our current story. so Do not expect curb service with the mind that we had previously, because we now have a Quantum Mind Deluxe . Love is the Law. With the subtlety of a sledgehammer, thought and expression, the depth of imagination, and the ability to think non-verbally inspire you to create beautiful art and music. Cyclonic Banshee Satori is the new mantra we assign to you free of charge. You want one of the round thingies, too? A mandala? All we have left are the ones with Aztec Mermaids in Cowboy Hats Riding Turquoise Emus. Oh, you’ve already got one of those? Well, you’ll have to wait if you want the Hedge-Devas on Bumblebees. Next week, maybe.Moon-Mars and Moon-Mercury trines lift our spirits and spread joy. Giant maple keys may come spiralling from the sky to cut off the heads of the Evil Ones and delight the children. Laughter will clear our hearts of sadness. Skyscrappers should be renamed cloudsnaggers.Even at the doorstep of the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse, this last day of a waning cycle that began with an Eclipse is a power-portal unto itself. Today, Moon in dramatic Leo shakes hands with everybody in the Solar System–everybody that is, except Mercury and Venus—planets of connection with others. Yes sun and moon are joy riding basically, because they have the key. Who gave them the key? I did. So, fuck me like fried potatoes on the most
beautifully hungry morning of my God-damn life. A parting of the ways is at hand, as Pluto and the
North Node connect. We’ll feel like it’s time to make life changing decisions, and we are challenged
to balance what we want with what we feel is "reasonable" or "practical". There is nothing flexible
about the way you look at me between those big blue ice sculptures. In the end, we need to follow the
path with heart, or we won’t have the energy to complete it. All the little elfin figurines have been drugged.
Crack them open and spread the dusty paste over your chosen chakras. Creativity abounds and so will original posts and news about tomorrow’s lunation, with ruler Sun in trine to Uranus the liberator. This latter transit will prime us to release circumstances that don’t really resonate with our emerging identity. Scan your behavior and life and make a list of goals, roles,
behaviors and situations that you would like to let go of. At the top of the page, write the affirmation shared
a bit further on. With a sextile from Mars to Jupiter, enriched by lunar harmonies to these two planets of promotion, assertiveness surges today, and business people will get in on the act with broadcasts, tourism and other lucrative endeavors.
The aspects favor sales and publicity, but with Moon at the close of the balsamic phase and Mercury retrograde, they are better channeled either through implementing something we already have in place, or through planning future actions. We can powerfully develop and write down strategies after tomorrow’s Eclipse New Moon. As for action, the stars favor low-key fun and staying centered in our true selves.
MONDAY, AUGUST 21
Projecting Light Specific purple or octarine (a particular shade of electric pinkish purple) into your forehead and facing West, activate the Ajna Holographic Image Projection System (third eye), then invoke blessed Gabriel. Diana, or Sailor Moon into your Brow Chakra. It's the Moon's day in the week of Earth and the emotional body in reflection. The lunar orb being receptive and reflective, focuses the qualities of the signs and other planets to our personal Lightcraft. The Lunar center, and its intimate connection with the Holographic Image Projection System, is not only the foundation for the astral plane, but is the fiery aspect of astral energy itself. And so we come to the last Eclipse of 2017. 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 an Eclipse. This Lunar Eclipse in the sign of the Twins signals the need to stop scattering efforts by eliminating unessential activities and ending fruitless conversations and unsatisfying studies. For I say unto you: it would be easier for a wolverine to assassinate the pope using a slingshot loaded with overcooked lima beans than it would be to escape the effects of an Eclipse Tense 90-degree squares from the Sun and Moon to expansive Jupiter and explosive Uranus might motivate impulsive behavior. Happily, a sweet 60-degree sextile with compassionate Neptune softens intemperance with tenderness that keeps us from going too far too fast. Visible across the US, its influence is apt to be particularly powerful for those in its path of totality. This event gives a very special charge to the New Moon in Leo, which happens to conjunct active Mars and make a grand fire trine with Saturn, and loosely, Uranus. It also harmonizes with expansive Jupiter, which is still in orb of its recent square to Pluto-the-powerful. As you can see, this is not just a sit-on-the-beach-with-your-piña-colada type event. Rather, it precipitates an emboldening wave that can blast us out of any complacency that may be keeping us from acting on the mighty potential of Saturn as it marches slowly through Sagittarius, sign of luck. Saturn, planet of manifestation, is giving us a chance to rebuild the area of our lives related to 21 degrees of Sagittarius in our charts. Look at your natal chart and check the house placement, personal planets at that degree, and the force of Saturn, Capricorn, Jupiter and the 10th house for more precise personal insight. Whatever the details are for each of us, we tend to be optimistic about whatever’s under the sign of the archer. It’s easy to go with the flow and we can end up trusting our luck, yet failing to seize life’s opportunities. (For Eclipse tips for your Sun and rising sign, check our August Monthly Influences. Associated with the North Node, or Dragon´s Head, the present lunation is considered fortunate. Yet with fireworks in the sky, it’s not the best time to don our armor and march into battle. Rather than rushing forth, review progress on what most matters and re-commit to doing something brave yet strategic. As for the Sabian symbol, at 29 Leo it says: MERMAID AWAITS PRINCE WHO WILL MAKE HER IMMORTAL. Pure longing for a new order of selfhood. Critical point in “emergent evolution”. Perspective, or a sense of incompetence. How can we open the gift of “emergent evolution” contained in today’s celestial trigger? Besides reclaiming our ability to move forth boldly, Mars’ proximity blends the energy of action with a new heart (Leo) cycle. Precisely because of Mars, there are some dire predictions around this Eclipse. In a way, this is a natural outgrowth of the generalized distortion of the sacred masculine. This virile potency has become divided from its true purpose in the service of love, a purpose alluded to as the mermaid waiting for her prince. Assertion vs. cooperation, dynamism vs. harmony, boldness vs. kindness… dichotomies like these make our actions mechanical, cold motions that somehow separate us from the whole and lead to selfishness, individualism, even violence. Today’s portal can help us eclipse this illusion and realign our external actions in heart-centered intent. (See our Eclipse Ritual for more suggestions. How long will we wait to deploy our inner “prince” and live the evolution we long for?
