19th August: Mercury stations direct

Hi everybody!

We’re travelling in the lunar landscape of the New Moon in Leo partial solar eclipse which occurred on 11th August.  We’re in these Leo lunar energies for the next month until the New Moon in Virgo...and in terms of the eclipse for anything up to 6 months we may see sudden changes in our physical existence.  Eclipses wake up!

The current eclipse cycle:  A call to own our light force within...power!
All eclipses call us to change and to let go of the past but the series this year have put the focus on claiming our Leo light within whilst releasing mammoth energies which have kept us hooked into old benchmarks, conditioning and ‘rules’ created by humanity.  It’s been a call into our divinity, owning our divine power in a physical sense. Eclipses evolve planetary as well as individual consciousness.

The combined forces of retrograde planets with eclipses!  Challenging!
For me and many others it’s been a most challenging eclipse period with the call to step forward, claim our spiritual mastery as we put paid to memories which have been keeping us in a holding pattern for such a long time.  Mercury retrograde in Leo played havoc with my 'head', mind and clarity. Just grateful I didn't end up in the psych centre!

Next year looking a little easier: More to come on the good news!
The most challenging aspects for this year have been all the retrograde planets and in particular Mars and Mercury both retrograde at the same time.  Venus is also to go retrograde in October/November.  So our bodies, minds and hearts have been getting a major makeover.  Next year, it will just be Mercury doing its regular retrograde stretches.  Whew!  A relief!  'This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine...and get bigger!!!'

What lies ahead:
Integrating our power for future action in the world:  Get ready!
There’s much to do in the next year or two where we’ll find ourselves taking a more active role in challenging the powers that be who continue to oppress with inequitable laws, actions and societal benchmarks.  

With the nodes and eclipses falling into the Cancer/Capricorn continuum over the next 2 to 3 years from November 2018, the focus will be on creating and building family connections which are nurturing and which extend globally. We’ll be focussed on establishing emotional security within us, family and home.

South Node calls for letting go of ‘the comfort zone’...even if it’s uncomfortable!
The South Node in Capricorn will be our call to truly let go of the systems and structures which have invested in the material, financial world as the means for finding success and status in the world.  This doesn’t mean we have to forego material comfort but to find new ways of securing emotional and financial security for ourselves and therefore for the world.

Jupiter moving into Sagittarius in November:  Boosting the crusader, truth seeker within...more fire!
Are you prepared to fly under the radar and establish a new kind of freedom?  The next 2 years we’ll be preparing the groundwork for Saturn moving into Aquarius in 2020.  By then, Jupiter will be moving into Capricorn ready to clear out those false beliefs of the status quo!

What’s been happening:  
Mercury retrograde these past weeks...Mercury madness!

We’ve been out of our minds with the incoming light flushing the confusion our of hiding!  
Confusion Central!
We’ve been pushed to bring the light of the Sun into our mental bodies and operating systems with our minds possibly feeling more than a tad confused and addled as this whole process has been happening in the eclipse vortex of change energies.  Nothing is yet fully clear but is starting to clear as our Mercury pulls away from the confusion and starts to make sense of it all.

Purification of the nervous system and mental body:  
Leo energy is pure light and it’s been working over our minds!
Mercury rules communication systems and in our body it’s the nervous system, respiratory system taking a bit of a hit as old traumas, fears, anxieties have been flushed out of the cell memories held in these systems. As we keep releasing projections taken on from others even as their ‘good intentions/good advice’. we reaffirm our creative power within...Leo power!  Roar!

Building our power and strength mentally and physically:  Remember the power of words and self talk!
Mercury also connected to perambulation with arms and legs possibly impacted with restriction as these areas are released of old fears, doubts and insecurities of moving forward and taking our power as ‘lights of the Leo Sun’.  Strike a light everyone!  We’re getting moving but easy does it until we get our Astroboy rocket boots on after Mars, our physical body moves direct on 28th August.

19th August:  
Mercury stations direct at 11 degrees 32 Leo at 2.25 pm AEST
Up we go!
Until 8th September when Mercury moves into Virgo
Our light filled Mercury balloons are taking off:  Up and on we go!
The Leo heat and fire has infused our whole being and mental body with its light and we are now full of ‘hot air’ rising to meet the power of the Sun.  But hold on!  It’s not going to be on the go until after 21st!

17th to 21st August:  Mercury at a standstill!  Heads up for timing...stillness!
Mercury sitting on 11 degrees from 17th to 21st Leo so these are the days where things go slow, may need ‘re-doing’ or where communication, travel, commerce and contractual agreements may break down.

2nd September:  We’re coming back into clarity of mind!
We're building our fire power and restoring our minds very slowly and surely as we move towards 2nd September when Mercury moves out of shadow.

Mercury moves out of shadow retrograde:  Getting things moving...finally!
Mercury comes back to the degree where he turned retrograde so now he’s working strongly with us to enact all the new energies which were activated during his retrograde period.

Next Mercury retrograde period: 17th November to 7th December
From 13 degrees Sagittarius to 27 degrees Scorpio

Upcoming Dates:
23rd August: Sun moves into Virgo
26th August:  Full Moon in Pisces

6th September:  Mercury enters Virgo
6th September:  Saturn stations direct at 2 degrees 33 Capricorn

9th September:  Venus to Scorpio

That’s all folks!
Hugs all around!

Our lion cubs are gathering to welcome the Sun in Virgo yet knowing that a new fire and light has been birthed in our soul with the New Moon in Leo carrying us on in creative excitement and new avenues to explore.  Maybe we’re still in recovery from these past weeks and are catching our breath as the planetary energies moving direct will restore energy, power and motivation.  Let the light of divine love and passion grow within you and through your whole being to support you going on.

Mars is stationing direct on 28th August AEST but be aware that he is sitting on 22 degrees from 21st August to 5th September so not a lot of movement coming in for us until after 5th September.  We’ll be regaining our physical awareness and balance.

Love and blessings to us all as we travel with divine light, strength, courage and faith in our guiding stars!

It’s all about love
Divine reunion
