Hi everyone!
Here we are
in the valley of sunflowers, home to the Leo Sun! The energies of the full
light of the Leo Sun have been somewhat dampened by other planetary forces, not
least of all by the Cancerian Lunar Month which has released a flood of primal
memories!
What’s been happening:
Since
4th July New Moon in Cancer: The Lunar month of Cancer!
The New Moon in Leo birthing on 3rd August
brings a close to the past Cancerian Lunar month, a month of emergence of
memories, of deep insecurities, fears, challenges to our sense of ‘home’ and
‘belonging’ on this planet. Our inner ‘home’ has been uprooted with world
crisis!
Cancer is
ruled by the moon and is our feminine energy. She connects us to the past,
memories and the unconscious. In Cancer, we find the divine mother energy with
the nurturing and nourishing needed for our feminine selves, our ‘allowing’
selves.
Relentless
demands on us all: Maintaining hope and faith in humanity has been a full time
job!
Releasing old energies, holding the light of hope
and believing that change for the better is happening! This past lunar month
has called us to work relentlessly with the inner energy on the esoteric level
of our being. We’ve watched daily violence, war, disaster, mayhem and acting
out by energies in our physical world. It’s been like an explosion and release
of deep primal forces. There has been nothing we could do apart from hold love,
send love, call on the forces of light to transform the shadows emerging from
our earth and humanity.
31st
July to 3rd August: The dark of the moon...releasing the final threads of the
Lunar Cancer month!
For approximately 3 days before the New Moon we
have the darkest time of the lunar month which brings to a close the previous
lunar month. This happens every month. However, I think this month we’ll feel
relieved to close the door on all those fears, doubts and insecurities which
have been emerging since 4th July.
Of course,
it’s been a year of release but the last month brought so much to the surface
that needed release in the energies of the Cancer lunar month, the energies of
the divine feminine. It seemed that the masculine warrior energies had ran amok
in us all in one way or another. These last few days, we have the moon in
Cancer as it carries us towards the New Moon in Leo. The moon actually enters
Leo about 20 hours before the New Moon in Leo so we will be moving out of the
Cancerian lunar energies about a day before the New Moon. Don’t be surprised at
final releases of intense energies of emotion as Cancer is all emotion.
You can
check times for lunar movements at this website. Just put in your timezone. http://zodiacarts.com/moon-phase-calendars/australia-eastern-time-zone/
From 31st July to 2nd August:
Venus in Leo in a beautiful trine to
Uranus in Aries...heart opening, breakthrough energy!
Make a wish!
Leading
into the New Moon on 3rd we have this wonderful flowing energy of spontaneous
reaching for joy and love. It’s personal as the radical Uranus works with the
passions of our heart. Yes, you could fall in love...with yourself, with life,
with a special someone. It stimulates the heart to seek romance in its broadest
contexts and may play out in terms of relationship. Essentially it’s a feel
good energy which opens our hearts to desire feeling love, feeling in love and
feeling the joy of life.
After the
last month of ongoing traumatic waves of change and challenge, this will feel
like a welcome relief. Don’t doubt or double guess or question the goodness of
the feeling. Just acknowledge the joy of this heart opening time.
This is the
energy that opens our hearts and minds to believing that our wishes can come
true, are coming to us and that all is well. Believe and build on the feeling of
joy and promise that is gifted to us at this time!
What’s coming in:
3rd August: Mars moves into Sagittarius at 3.49 am AEST...on the road
again!
Until
27th September
Out of Scorpio into the light of a new
energy: Fire up the pilot light!
Mars, ruler of our physical body, our masculine
fire and drive is finally moving out of the dark waters of Scorpio’s alchemical
process. Have we become golden? Are we shining ready to climb aboard our
Sagittarian vehicle awaiting us? It’s been a long haul of Mars retrograde this
year which has slowed us up with the fire, drive and often the physical body.
With Mars coming back into Sagittarius we’re coming into the completion stage of
the retrograde journey. Mars is all fire and Scorpio has kept Mars immersed in
the dark waters wherein the lotus grows. He hasn’t been happy as it’s been like
trying to keep a match alight in the rain. Our pilot lights have been on the
low burn and our life force has possibly felt depleted.
Firstly, we
walk out of the darkness, not too sure how we’re feeling. It’s been a long haul
over the past months getting the revamp physically and being challenged to get
our fire and drive up and happening. Well take heart as we feel the movement of
our horsepower charging up!
3rd
August to 22nd August: A vintage roadster works well...moving along
nicely!
Mars is still within retrograde shadow until 22nd
August so from now until then we’re getting accustomed to the energy of Mars in
Sagittarius which is fiery, keen to get moving but not yet up to travelling at
full speed ahead.
Get
ready, Get set....
However,
Mars’ move into Sagittarius just a couple of hours before the New Moon in Leo is
guaranteed to kickstart our fire, drive and passion in a whole new way! This is
likely to come forth as a passionate connection to our life and new potentials
rather than the driving force of the Mars competitive energy which can drain our
life force. It’s good to be driven by the divine force which ebbs and flows
rather than being driven to physical exhaustion!
Just notice
the difference with this New Moon. Mars has a whole new modus operandi!
3rd August: New Moon in Leo at 10 degrees 58 Leo at 6.44 am
AEST
Showtime!
We’re at
a new doorway to the light, to the land of our hopes and dreams...the Emerald
City!
We’re holding the key to our own happiness and
joy! Are we ready to use it?
When you’re
in love with life, life’s in love with you!
When you’re
in love with your life it’s pure love!
Follow
the yellow brick road: Meeting with our very own inner Wizard of Oz!
Saturn,
Lord of Karma, our inner authority and inner wizard, is hand in hand with the
New Moon and Sun positively activating our inner and outer Leo energies. It’s
all light!
We’re
travelling the road to recovery in our vintage roadsters or dancing our way with
kindred spirits to the place of our dreams! Our ‘vehicle’ of transportation is
our choice whether it’s on foot, by car or skateboard. Our intent is
everything!
Are we
ready to let go of the illusory power of The Wizard of Oz who’s pulling the
strings of illusion, the false power where we have invested our energy whether
consciously or not.
It’s a mass awakening with this New Moon:
People are likely to make decisions, come to conclusions about who they
really are in their essential self and about what brings them joy, passion and
love. I imagine that this New Moon will set up the changes coming in at the
upcoming eclipses beginning on 1st September. First, build the bonfire and let
it fire us up with energies to make the changes at the New Moon in Virgo in a
month’s time...a solar eclipse!
Leo
is a bonfire of light maintained by the light of Leo’s ruler, the Sun!
Mars is an
Aries rocket, Sagittarius is a fireworks display and Leo is a bonfire!
All we have
to do is allow that fire of the light of the Sun to shine from within the centre
of our being.
It’s
showtime! Put on your dancing shoes and strut your stuff!
Leo energy
calls us to take centre stage in our own life, to shine with the light of
love!
Passion,
joy, creativity and childlike excitement awakens within us when we allow our sun
to shine! We allow our divine child to shine without recourse to fears and
doubts taken on from the projections of others.
I want to
dance and sing and play, play, play! Playing is a key energy offered up by the
Leo New Moon. This is the joy of play rather than competitive play. There is
no benchmark when we play for the joy of the experience. Wherever
your creative gifts lie, open yourself up to expansive experiences which offer
the joy of learning through ‘play’
Love and
romance: Heart opening time!
The Leo New Moon calls us to open our hearts to
love and the romance of life. That means light and fluffy rather than serious
and meaningful. Of course, we all know light and fluffy can lead to serious and
meaningful and at this New Moon there may well be the urge to merge on a deep
and meaningful level as Saturn, master of serious business walks hand in hand
with the New Moon in Leo and of course the Leo Sun. Look out! Your heart may be
touched, opened and your head turned in a new direction as Uranus, the awakener,
is in play with our heart energy leading into the New Moon. Maybe it might
stimulate you to open your heart to love...again.
The
New Moon: Setting intent, focus and planting the seed of your hopes and
dreams!
Sun and Moon in harmony!
A New Moon
is always a good time to set the intent, focus and plant the seed of your hopes
and dreams. It’s the time when the Moon, our inner self and the Sun, our
outward consciousness are speaking the same language, at the same degree of the
zodiac and in harmony with each other and the energies of the sign. This is a
time when making choices and decisions is easier in terms of the inner/outer
conflict we so often go through when looking at our lives.
Focus
for the Leo New Moon: Love, romance, creativity and children!
Make a wish and
build the dream in your imagination!
Leo rules love romance, creativity and children
and gives focus to the essence of who we are out in the world, our own shining
light. At the New Moon, we draw on the essence of the creative force within,
the moon energy to bring forth those energies which will support our decisions
and focus. The Moon draws to her that which she needs. The Sun goes out into
the world to find what he needs.
Both
energies need to work in tandem to bring our success in the world. It’s a matter
of knowing when to build energy and wait and when to go out and find. Divine
timing and divine order. One of the weaker aspects within our consciousness is
the capacity to hold the energy, build the dream and wait for its arrival. We
just tend not to believe in the power of manifestation using the lunar energies.
We lose patience, despair and lose heart. When we do, we block the flow coming
to us.
From New Moon in Leo to New Moon in Virgo...a forward view for the next
month: Leo fire, Aquarian air, Virgo earth!
Leo is a fire sign and therefore is all about
the energy of spirit, the energy we need to access if we are making changes to
our lives. If the fire of spirit is not firing us there is not sufficient
desire to activate and drive change. So, this New Moon we’re stoking the
bonfire, setting spiritual intent and focus and then off we go to our very own
‘Emerald City’.
The next
Full Moon in Aquarius in 2 weeks time will uplift our mental processes to the
bigger picture and higher mind as we startrek the cosmos bringing new ideas and
possibilities. By the time we reach the New Moon in earthy Virgo, the solar
eclipse on 1st September, we’ll be feeling like we want to ground some of these
schemes and dreams into earthly reality.
However,
there may be a little delay as Mercury goes into a retrograde 3 week period on
30th August. A bit more tweaking and reviewing through September although we
may well find that the 1st September solar eclipse just shifts us in a dramatic
way as only eclipses can do. Sometimes the eclipses don’t play out until a
month later which is early October.
Look out
world! Looks like a whole new ride!
Sabian Symbol for the New Moon and Sun in Leo:
From Lynda
Hill: www.sabiansymbols.com
Leo 11
CHILDREN ON A SWING IN THE SAFETY OF A HUGE
OAK TREE
This Symbol shows the need, or the desire,
to be protected, to have a safe, fun place to be and live where life is carefree
and to be enjoyed. It is easier to relax into carefree, child-like play when
your protection, safety and security are ensured. You may feel like some relief
from responsibility, or you may provide this umbrella of protection for others.
There is a need to be safe in the knowledge that everything will remain secure.
It is good to keep in touch with the innocence and openness of youthful
attitudes. Oak trees infer enormous inner strength, dependability and protection
from the harsh realities of life. Creativity in safe surroundings. Social
security and other governmental protection (or the lack of them). Being able to
stay in one place. Taking time off. Child protection. Fun.
The Caution: Expecting others to take responsibility while one just plays. Feeling disadvantaged. Lack of protection. No place to feel safe. Not wanting to grow up.
The Caution: Expecting others to take responsibility while one just plays. Feeling disadvantaged. Lack of protection. No place to feel safe. Not wanting to grow up.
6th August: Venus moves into Virgo at 1.26 am AEST
Our forest guardian
awaits!
Until
30th August
Virgo calls us to ‘the path of heart’, our divine calling:
I’m here to be me!
Now it’s our time to come back to self, to our heart energy and our ‘path of heart’. The forest awaits with the Virgo guardian to lighten our hearts of the heaviness of the worlds pains and to bring us to our understanding of our divine ‘calling’ to living our heart’s truth and in doing so serving ourselves and our fulfilment as well as serving the world’s growth and expansion.
Heart healing time:
Purification of our
heart’s desires!
Pure and simple: Virgo’s ethos! Purification with joy!
With Virgo, frills and flounces, trims and masks count for nothing. This energy calls us to our purest form without ego attachments and pretences without the burden of the projections of others. The next few weeks we’re divesting ourselves of any ‘baggage’ of the heart energy. The purification is likely to involve the physical body and the greatest way we can purge old heart baggage is accessing experiences which bring joy.
Our guide, Guardian of the earth awaits our acceptance of the path of heart.
Nature
restores heart, mind and body:
The natural environment offers immense
replenishment at this time. Both our heart and mind energies are in earthy Virgo
so the message is clear that we take that time to just even hug a tree. Hold
your heart chakra to a tree and put your forehead on the trunk. The tree just
clears the energy field and grounds all the old scattered energies we’re
clearing.
With Mars
now in Sagittarius there’s a strong urge to get out amongst people more than has
been the case. We need to do some of this providing we keep heart and mind
happy with the peace and calm of Virgo’s earth healing.
8th August: Lion’s Stargate comes to culmination
Last week, the Lion’s Stargate opened
on 26th July bringing a period of light downloads, an esoteric doorway rooted in
our psyche from Egyptian times. It brings and activates the energies of the
lion, leadership which is heart centred and aligned with the galactic energies
of the fixed star Sirius, esoteric home of the ascended masters...those who have
walked the earth and attained enlightenment, a light-centred existence in a
physical body.
Quote from Lauren Gorgo’s July 5D
report:
‘Through
8-8, I am shown that many firmly established in the new world consciousness are
soon to embrace a whole (key word) new level of leadership…that those who have
worked to balance and integrate their m-f energies within and are effectively
leading their lives with their soul Self (divine feminine) are entering a brand
new, active cycle of service.
A page is
turning from the road you travelled to get here, to the road you are now paving
for a whole new level of personal, and in some cases, galactic level
leadership.
According
to the Pleiadians, this new cycle commenced as of the Planetary New Year (7/26)
which presented the opening for this new level leadership to be born, en
masse…for those who are leading the planet and her people to their highest
destiny.
Every year from July 26th to August 8th a powerful vortex opens to
welcome new light codes (intelligence) into the planetary grids that carries the
blueprint for the year ahead. This year, and especially for those who are
preparing to step into new roles (in some cases larger roles), I am hearing
that: the time is nigh to speak up, to live your Truth out loud. As
you do, so too will you join with many others in the pursuit of Eden.’
Stargate
closes on 12th August
Lauren
Gorgo’s July 5D Report: ‘Seeking to Creating: new expressions of
Self’
Opening paragraphs:
First and foremost…BREATHE. Tho ultimately all for LOVE, the
fact is that we’ve all been thru some super charged, highly discordant and
seriously disharmonious energies this month, and whether you are “in the world,
or of it”, it still smarts in parts.
Tragedies, calamities, natural disasters, social &
political insanity, financial instability, etc….these all kick up (reflect)
intense collective root fears that every part of the human family is in some way
responsible for. But because we know that these energies can only be alchemized
from within, our job thru moments of upheaval is exactly what we’ve practiced in
the safety of our cocoons for several years prior…to anchor within, examine our
own reactions/responses to the energies, transmute/transcend any personal
dissension, and then return to the bigger picture perspective ASAP. Rinse,
repeat.
We’re
certainly no stranger to this process, but the last several weeks seriously
tested our resolve.
Another
extract referring to the past month of chaos:
I know that so many
are/have been weary with the emptiness (meself included) but from what I
understand, this particular period of disconnection…while longer and more
grueling than most…also served a greater purpose than
most.
For many of us this
meant a complete shutting down…no connection to the outer-world, no connection
to inner-joy, no connection to creation, no connection to the spirit world, even
nature lost some of its luster. On a practical level this means everything
rescinds…our vitality, motivation, desires, our ability to produce, finances,
relationships, creativity, etc.
In parts, it felt like certain
death.
We withdrew our life
force so completely that it may have felt as tho your light was being
extinguished (where nothing relates anymore) yet the Pleiadians explain that
this ultimate withdrawal of our life force is/was required to master our own
field of energy, independent of external crutches, so that we can step fully
into our sovereignty…into Self governance.

Message
from Matthew Ward 29th July:
Matthew's
message about the state of the world from a higher perspective makes more sense
to me than any earthly mass media news.
Let's keep an open mind and uplift our perception that we are creating the best possible outcome by maintaining our hope and optimism.

folks! This one’s a bit lengthy but there’s just so much happening. I suggest
look at the pics, headings and skim. You know. No overload.
As always, love and blessings to us all as we
take to the yellow brick road with a bit of horsepower as Mars fires up again.
Easy does it but make the most of this month of recovery and reclamation of the
joy of life. We’re rebuilding ourselves mind, heart, body and spirit
particularly after the last weeks of destructive forces which have been
decimating.
We’re
travelling with the pilgrims on the yellow brick road. They were seeking the
qualities needed to be their own hero. A brain for the scarecrow, a heart for
the tinman, courage for the lion and for Dorothy...a home!
We’re all
our own heroes on our own journeys sharing with other seekers in the search for
qualities already within us. We are all learning this as we travel.
Let’s be of
good heart and mind with the courage to believe in ourselves and our lives on
earth. And be of good cheer divine wizards of earth. We are home.
