The August Terrain
After an agonizingly long 2 plus years of dealing with predominantly Cardinal energies (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), our gaze is turned toward the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) as the Sun moves through Leo and takes its entourage (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) with it. Add Jupiter and Saturn into the mix, with Moon once each week at the lunations, and we have a firm focus on establishing and stabilizing the new directions in our life. This is big. We’ve had so much shuffling and reshuffling with the Cardinal emphasis, we’ve gotten used to constant change, to feeling at times overwhelmed, and to having to reach for solid earth beneath our feet. Saturn the Planet (as opposed to Saturn the... GodForm, Archetype, Concept) Now we find firm footing, landing on our feet with a welcome thud. Suddenly, the landscape of our future from the mists, and we find there’s something solid to build. If we have established our foundations in the past 2+ years, we’re ready to go now. Yes, there will be obstacles, but using or removing them is the specialty of the Fixed signs. We are gathering resources, drawing the people to us who will stick with us in this process for long into the future, as well as those who will facilitate progress and move on. It’s all about holding and persevering now, although the powerful transformations happening all around and within us will continue less emphasized. While the Sun is in Leo, we focus on matters of the heart. We draw to us those of like mind and spirit, those who motivate us and whom we inspire. Leo’s generosity of spirit naturally draws others to us, and we form groups and develop initiatives that cannot be completed with our consolidated efforts. It is an uplifting time, especially with Jupiter also in Leo. Jupiter in Leo gives us the theme of the coming year, August to August. We will be gathering with others and creating, each of us contributing our uniqueness as an irreplaceable gift. We will find a path that shines this month, and we will follow it with those most important to us. There are inevitable adjustments to make in the process. August is laden with quincunxes and yods, as it has been in the past two decades. The person in charge of dispelling notions will be off duty during the hours of greatest morphic resonance, in order to provoke the gods. We’re bridging a gap, stretching ourselves a bit thin, but things slowly get put right after the Sun enters Virgo. This year is no exception. These contacts require patience and discipline to override frustration and release the juicy treasures of their oddness. We could charm a snake from a cat’s vagina just by snoring. We couldn't steer a tank with our diction even if you numbed ourtongues with a lethartonic unguent. And yet even the slightest breeze seemed to send us into a blazing legislative fury. Think outside the box, and you’ve got a head start on these energies.Mars and Venus may wreak havoc on our relationships if we try to push something through at the end of the month. They make a square in Scorpio and Leo, challenging us to forego pride in order to activate an important change. This is the third time that Venus and Mars have squared each other in these signs in recent years. Stubbornness or impatience can block progress at this time. This is not always played out in "courtship" or personal relationships. Anything that we want and have been trying to bring into our lives may be affected by delays or obstructions. The hardest thing to manage with the shift to the Fixed emphasis is the slower pace of things. It continues to work best to refrain from resisting the flow of events, even if that is difficult to do. We could alarm a naked choir from pat’s vagina just by soaring. I could hunt deer with a tank even if you numbed my tongue with a freezy pop. There is less back-and-forth now, and steps taken are likely to carry us steadily ever forward.
FRIDAY AUGUST 1
If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. The Day of Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one. Intelligence is the greatest aphrodisiac, but a dab of extract from a civet's anal gland and a nice pair of shoes will work just as well today. After two dramatic contacts while in Cardinal signs, Mars squares Jupiter in their new sign locations, Scorpio and Leo. This is the final contact to complete the processes initiated and completed with the recent Mars retrograde
March 1-May 19). What comes forward now relates to situations where conditions have changed so much that it becomes a new beginning in some way. This comes against the backdrop of social harmony and well being as Venus trines Saturn and Chiron, forming a Water Grand Trine. The Moon in balanced Libra today feels like being social. Libra represents the period from 23 to 42 years old, when partnerships are made and balance is sought between others and oneself. On the World scale Libra is between 400 and 1100 AD, when division of the church and state took over, and the Dark Ages swept over Europe and Asia. The opposition is symbolic of the fact that in order to emerge from the unconscious, internal conflicts must be brought out into the light of day. Marriage was the primary process through which opposing countries where integrated into a whole. With the Moon in Libra we are aware of our communal relations, law, justice and balance. The 7th house (Libra) has been called the house of marriage. The key to the New Aeon of MA'AT is figuring out the new symbol for Libra, as the institution of marriage was originally designed as a tool by the Church to secure it's future domination. Those that cannot find this new symbol and perform these symbolic rites on themselves and their tribe, and the whole fabric of material being, will inherit only the blues, decay, and husks. Think more in terms of partnership and remember, your heart must be light as a feather. The Moon completes its active travel in Libra at 7:58 pm (10:58 pm ET), contacting the Cardinal transformation agents, Pluto and Uranus, on the way, and magnifying our feelings about what still needs fixing in our ties with others.
SATURDAY AUGUST 2
Agreements are favored as Mercury conjoins Jupiter, but a square to Mars suggests finalizing the documents and
taking action steps after some corrections are made. The Moon is void all day, reactivating us when it enters Scorpio
at 7:57 pm (10:57 pm ET). . I hope this isn't an ackward time to mention that the structural basis for all Light-specific work in the Metaverse is regular, disciplined connection to the No-Form, meditation, contemplation, what ever you want to call it, as long as it's deep. Supremely solitary in that heath of scrub. The Light-Specific state initiates itself with SOLITUDE, the gratifying element of being alone (if only for 20 minutes a day)... without which, true development is impossible. The point is to connect to your inner source of stability, the state of potentia, the No-Form, at least once a day. No-Form is not a goal or state of "spiritual arrival" (as some religions would have us believe), it is a highly practical, multi-purpose tool for dissolving our identification with the ego. If you want to play with us, this is the only rule. The foundation of our Lightcraft is built in Chaos, so you must maintain a firm foundation, or Chaos your life will be. Some of us need this connection four times a day (sunrise, true noon, sunset, true midnight). Some of us actually manage to do it four times a day. It is a choice you must make. I would do it for you if I could. Once a day is all that's required to maintain the Continuity function. Future generations of yourself will be glad this came to pass. The Lightcraft Academy , Yoga Ceremonial Magick, this astrology forecast, they all provide ritual technology for Self initiation. But the key word here is Self. D.I.Y
SUNDAY AUGUST 3
The Day of the Sun in Atziluth. The Metaversal Lightpilot, which the ancient Egyptians referred to as the KA, is actually
the fourth dimensional driver of the third dimensional Lightcraft, the BA. There is a sixth dimensional solar mind which
interacts with all levels and is purely an electromagnetick harmonic, a harmony based on all the other levels coming
together around a center. And the sun is the center eternally now and therefore timeless. The Sun never sets on itself.
The evolution of the Metaversal song, what some refer to as the Great Work, has as its core the purpose of resonating this harmonic through your individual interactive Lightcraft. Leo occupies the middle of the summer in the northern hemisphere, the hottest time of the year for half the planet. It's appropriate, then, that the sign Leo is associated with our source of heat, the Sun. This central star of our solar system is the hub around which all of the planets orbit. This position of centrality is basic to the Leo personality. Leo represents awareness of self and is, arguably, the most self-centered sign of the zodiac. Taken negatively, this means that Leo can be blinded by the light of its own ego. Like a shining star, its brilliance can make it difficult to recognize the importance of others. We feel pulled in two directions, as Sun quincunxes Pluto. We want to just sweep away the problems, but there’s more to it than that. The First Quarter Moon at 5:50 pm PT/11°36' Scorpio-Leo brings our need to do something to the forefront. This is a good time to cultivate the seeds we planted at the time of the New Moon (July 26). 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 its reality into daily life, thus gaining a sense of the immortality of consciousness. This lunation reconnects action planets Jupiter and Mars, bringing thought and communication into the mix—but paradoxically, this highlights the fact that there are critical factors still hidden. These will be revealed in the coming two weeks. (Fukushima, the Pacific Ocean Die Off....) In the First Quarter chart cast for the US, the emphasis is on action in foreign affairs and conflicts. Troop movements may be involved. This deals with long-standing situations, not new ones. The President is lauded for taking wise action, and we are likely to see him and his family on vacation soon, if not now. The Sabian Symbols for the First Quarter Moon are: “a brilliant assembly of dignitaries at an official embassy ball” (the Moon), and “an evening garden party of adults”. These speaks to the pleasure and significance of social gatherings. On a deeper level these events have a serious purpose, to reduce the possibility of misunderstanding and conflict.
MONDAY AUGUST 4
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 Water. 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.
The Moon in Scorpio makes us aware of our priorities as it occults (eclipses) Saturn as it does every month this year through October. A trine to Venus helps us find a way to use this energy to smooth our path. This is a powerful effect that drives home the need we have for intimacy and connection with others. After the Moon goes void of course at 10:43 am (1:43 pm ET), we have a day to take care of background activities. Inner connections are stronger now, especially
with the Moon in deep-feeling Scorpio.
