Hi everyone!
Yes, we’re still travelling in the light of the
Leo Sun until 23rd August. However, the past week we’ve been experiencing a
powerful healing energy of Virgo, taking us into the forests of healing
recovery, the rehabilitation and regeneration place on planet
earth.
A stellium of planets in earthy Virgo, the
divine feminine energy which offers healing and restoration of our damaged mind,
heart, body and spirit. Virgo is the sign of the healer bringing wholeness to
our being. Venus, our heart energy has now joined Mercury our mind manager.
Jupiter, the big picture planet, has been in Virgo since mid August 2015 due to
move into Libra in October this year.
Are
we heading in the right direction?
Our
North Node of the moon, the evolutionary focus and direction for planet
earth
at this time is also in Virgo. All of the current Virgo energies are offering to
calm the nerves, the mind and the heart if we allow and will sweep us towards
the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo on 1st September.
Evolving
consciousness in Virgo: Purification!
Trust,
allow and accept that the time is right for the jarring wounds of the last month
of chaos and disruption to be cleared and released. The forest guardian calls us
to the forests of the earth to replenish and renew, to regenerate our batteries
and recover.
10th August: Mercury entered
Retrograde Shadow at 14:49
Virgo...shadowlands!
Until
6th October
30th
August to 22nd September: Mercury retrograde
10th
August to 30th August: Shadowlands...know we will walk this road
again!
Here we are entering that energy which
should be, by now familiar territory, knowing that we will be travelling this
stretch of the road when Mercury goes direct after 22nd September.
We
proceed with the knowledge that some clarification and tweaking may come
later:
The
road ahead may feel clear of obstructions and we feel like we know where we’re
going but we need to remember that whatever is decided, started during this time
will more than likely need a little tweaking during Mercury retrograde.
We
still keep moving forward during this time as we need to assume whatever
progress we make now will continue. It’s during the actual retrograde period
that we’ll find we may be backtracking over any loose threads as we gain greater
insight and clarity at that time.
We
are still in the energies of the New Moon in Leo which is all about creative
power and we need to make the most of the energies, setting and maintaining
intent. Mercury in Virgo is all about harnessing the mind power with clarity
and focus along with the analytical capacities of the mental energy, the
challenge/opportunity offering growth at this time.
12th August: Closing of the Lion Stargate...planetary energies packing a
punch at this time!
26th July to 12th
August:
The Lion’s Stargate
opened on 26th July and since then we’ve been experiencing light downloads and
transformational energies. The 8th August we had the culmination of the
stargate energies with a powerful surge of light on the planet. I don’t know
about anyone else but this year I experienced quite a shift with this ‘stargate’
energy. We are having some powerful planetary shifts which are maintaining the
intensity and focus every day. However, my feeling is that this year is
stronger as a culminating force for change in a 9 year.
8th August: Culmination of the Lion Stargate!
We
all experience the downloads of light in different ways at different times and
we need to remember that there is no one way to interpret the experience apart
from our own insights and knowledge relating to our soul journey this lifetime.
There seems to be a tendency on the part of some ‘spiritual’
teachers/voices to suggest that a cosmic experience ‘should’ be experienced as
joyful and uplifting when some people will be experiencing some of these events
as painful and exhausting as the light shifts and releases old energies.
My life, my journey, my transformation: Be true to
yourself, your experience!
None of us really know what the soul brief is for others. We’re
still in the process of learning about our own journey. We need to acknowledge
our own process and honour our experiences whether they be the darkness or the
light. After all, some of us are shifting some big planetary energies as our
karmic choice this lifetime.
Universal as well as individual shifts in consciousness:
‘I’ve gotta be me’!
I’m always a little wary of attitudes which profess ‘we should all
be doing...’ when we know it doesn’t work like that. There are universal forces
as well as the cosmic forces and energies impacting us on an individual basis.
That’s why what I write here on these updates may ring a bell for you and at
another time it has no relevance. All we can do is stay true to ourselves
without passing judgement on ourselves as we let go of universal benchmarks
contrived by societal frameworks.
This is why I welcomed reading this from ‘Hare in the Moon
Astrology’ about the Lion’s Gate. Lorna includes some of the powerful
astrological energies which have been/are impacting us.
Much of the hype of the Lion’s Stargate carries the message of
downloads of abundance and prosperity. If you’re not yet experiencing this in
your physical life, have faith that we’re doing all this on the energetic level
first. The physical follows on. It doesn’t mean we’re not receiving the
energies of absolute abundance if we are feeling any pain in the body or
spirit. It’s just part of the process.
If you were feeling challenged by the intensity of the light
downloads as a flushing of the darkness, read this:
'The 8/8 Lion's Gate is wide open ,revealing just how intense this re-alignment and re-calibration process is becoming. Your physical and etheric bodies are being fired like clay in the evolutionary burn of the 5D Reset.

If
you're feeling-as so many of us sensitives are- down, depleted, drained, alone
or in a void like floating on the Dead Sea, understand that you are not fading,
falling or failing but energetically detaching from the ending of many planetary
cycles. Detaching so you can witness the withdrawal of many of your previous
creations -roles, labels, careers, alliances- before the influx of eclipse
downloads in September.
Look at the energy loss
in these culminating planetary cycles -all happening at once:
Saturn is stationing still retrograde until August 13
the South Node of Karma is approaching Neptune
a 2 year Mars/Saturn cycle is ending
6 planets are retrograde
Mercury enters his retrograde shadow
Mars is at max and moving out of bounds
Jupiter is preparing to leave Virgo
Instead of focusing on what isn't happening or what you're not doing, allow yourself as much rest, withdrawal and non doing as you can as the physical and psychic cleansing builds.Your body is a messenger with feedback about your current operating system.
Be present in your body and allow outworn gestalts, debris, illusions, attachments and patterns to dissolve while absorbing the incoming deep space energies at cellular level..
Even here, now, in the midst of what feels like the Void you can choose to show up, be here, declare your "I Am "presence.

Stargate:
13th August: Saturn stations/turns direct at 9 degrees 47 Sagittarius at
7.49 pm AEST
Father
Time moving forward: A change of gears!
Saturn, Old Father Time is on the move after
months of retrograde motion. Gradually, the gears are changing direction to
forward motion. It’s slow and will take some weeks before Saturn’s back in his
stride in the world, by early October. However, this gives us plenty of time to
adjust to the change in gears.
Gear changing:
Saturn’s
been sitting on 9 degrees Sagittarius since the end of July and will move off
that degree at the end of August. Then he spends about 3 1/2 weeks on 10
degrees, 2 1/2 degrees on 11 degrees until first week of October when he’ll be
on 12 degrees and back to regular speed, about 2 weeks on each degree.
We
discover our Wizard of Authority is leading us into the light of a new day! The
wisdom train!
In fiery Sagittarius, Saturn’s firing
up the steam and pulling out of the inner journey we’ve been travelling since
the beginning of April.
We’re
likely to feel our ‘engines’ start shifting with respect to the learning we’ve
been doing since that time. It’s been a wisdom journey as Sagittarius takes us
to higher understanding and consciousness. What we’ve learned, discovered and
uncovered these past months is about to be revealed in a new light.
Saturn,
ruler of Capricorn, offers us the power of physical manifestation, the
endurance, strength, resolve and commitment that takes us forward in the
fulfilment of our dreams, hopes and of course karma. Saturn is relentless in
his demand on us bringing to fruition our highest aspirations. Capricorn is the
goat that climbs the mountain and demands that from us.
Until
end of August: Dwellers on the threshold!
Clearing
our train tracks of karmic clutter and obstruction!
So, in some
ways, we’re back on track in the sense of moving forward with the aspirations
and manifestations. However, we are definitely clearing some residual karmic
energies through to the end of August until Saturn moves off 9 degrees and his
connection to Mars and the fixed Star Antares on 23rd/24th August.
After then
we’ll have a clearer sense that we are less burdened by the karmic threads,
commitments and shadows which have been dogging our footsteps. You know the
feeling that you don’t have the energy to put one foot in front of the other.
Let’s trust that we’re in the final stages of major clearing up. The Full Moon
on 18th August in Aquarius will definitely help get us on that road to freedom
and lightness once again.
Fixed
star Antares at 9°53' Sagittarius is sitting on Saturn as we move
through this time: Clearing the darkness and karmic
backlog!
One of the
four ‘Royal’ stars as designated by Persian astronomers, Antares carries the
darkness and shadow energies and is resonant with Archangel Uriel who clears the
dark unresolved energies within. There’s an ongoing offload of karmic burdens as
we stand at the threshold of change.
23rd/24th
August: Saturn and Mars meet along with Antares on 9 degrees
Sagittarius...physical cleansing coming to culmination!
We’re in
for an interesting clearance with this star sitting on Saturn right up to the
time Saturn meets with Mars on 23rd/24th August. With Mars, of course, it’s
related to our physical bodies and the cell cleansing, purification and
transformation of ancestral DNA. More on this later.
From
Stephanie Azaria: Antares
I received this email
from a faithful reader, Jan Finley, regarding the Mars/Saturn/Antares event that
is dominating the cosmos for the next few weeks:
"I discovered that Antares is the Guardian of Gateway to the
Underworld which makes perfect sense, especially regarding the darker aspects of
ourselves! As you said, he brings up shadow stuff and I would offer that he is
the Guardian of the Threshold, who brings us face to face with the dark,
unhealed elements of ourselves, i.e. the Shadow. His job is no less important
than Pluto's, as he offers us the opportunity to come into wholeness but
acknowledging our shadows.
I read the article you cited and was fascinated at how clearly she
describes Trump as she defines Antares. There can be no question that he
carries a collective shadow of all of us. One has only to look at the thousands
of closet racists who have flown out into public to proudly claim their
prejudice and racism to see this Shadow in action. We all have our prejudices
and biases, however benign and different from the ones espoused by Trump, and we
must take responsibility for them in order for us to move into our
oneness."

August:

A THEATRICAL
REPRESENTATION OF A GOLDEN HAIRED GODDESS OF OPPORTUNITY
Rewards, awards, acclaim,
a sense of presence, charisma and beauty are all the promise of this degree.
There will be offers that look too good to refuse, and they could be full of
promise, but they should still be looked at carefully. It can be something of a
reward for you, in which case it can lead to bigger and better things. You, or
someone close to you, could be seen as someone who could totally succeed – a
natural talent. It may seem to be the answer to your dreams - and indeed may
well turn out to be a grand adventure with a big reward. However, be aware of
idle chatter, with no basis in reality. Distinguishing reality from theatre.
Feeling that the 'world is your stage'. Playing out a story. Acting out
impulses. Dramatizations. Opportunities that seem too good to resist.
The Caution: Shallow adoration. Propaganda. Constantly chasing 'things' that come to nothing. Judging people by their looks. False appearances. False opportunities.

- for Saturn moving direct in Sagittarius. All aboard!
Upcoming
Dates:
18th
August: Full Moon in Aquarius Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
22nd
August: Mars moves out of retrograde shadow
23rd
August: Sun moves into Virgo
That’s it
folks! Rolling along to the Full Moon on 18th August which as a lunar eclipse
will offer revelations and insights as only Aquarius can do. Being a partial
lunar eclipse, more than the usual Aquarian surprises and revelations setting us
up nicely for the New Moon solar eclipse in Virgo on 1st September.
As always,
love and blessings to us all as we negotiate the landscape of our mover and
shaker, Mercury moving into territory which will be reviewed in a few weeks
time. Meanwhile we have the extra support of the slow moving Saturn turning
direct. With Saturn, we can expect to slowly rebuild some of the disjointed and
chaotic energies within our systems and ideologies which have been shot to
pieces in these past months. As we do, we find a new strength in our personal
authority and more than likely new perspectives on our view of the world.
Love and
hugs all around fellow pilgrims. The world could sure do with one big group
hug!
