We’re
moving into the final week of the Leo Sun. What a month! But then we could say
‘what a year’! And we’ve still got a way to go yet...whew!
Hopefully we’ve been touched by the magic light
of the Leo Sun and Moon. Leo is all light shining into the darkest corners of
our psyche and flooding the cells of our bodies with light power.
We’re
still in the light of the Leo lunar month for a while yet working undercover in our psyche in the memory banks
clearing those energies which have separated us from the light of our own divine
power. Mercury is still in Leo until 20th August clearing our minds, nervous and
respiratory systems with the golden alchemical light of transformation.
Leo
rules the back and the rheumatic system so bringing pure gold energy up the
vertebral column, distributing through the brain and nervous system and then the
heart and rheumatic system/blood brings maximum healing through this time.
12th
August: Closing of the Lion's Gate Portal
We're closing off to the
energies of the esoteric Lion's Gate portal which peaked on 8th August. There
will be of course ongoing developments as a result of this powerful period of
light energy and star connection.
What kind of experience did you have during
these last couple of weeks since the stargate opened on 26th July? Did you feel
the release of old 'demons' from within? Did you feel the connection with your
light family, star families?
The
changes may be subtle and yet to fully manifest physically as the expansion of
consciousness is happening in the spiritual body, acting upon the mental and
emotional to release resistant energies from within these bodies.
Personal
experience:
For
me, some good news just before the portal closed after visiting the bone
doctors. I am now allowed to move my left arm which gave me a huge lift,
spiritually even though no weight bearing allowed just yet. I actually have
virtually full movement back in my arm so now I'm celebrating with my legs who
have been grieving the absence of my left arm. The physio was amazed at how much
movement I had in this arm full of metal rods and pins. Heartening for me. So
that's my immediate experience of the Lion's Gate period of time working
intensely with the golden light.
16th August: Uranus stations retrograde at 10 degrees 41
Taurus
Buddha under the world tree
Until 1st January 2021
10th to 16th August: Intensity, sudden
changes
Uranus
is sitting on 10 degrees from early July to late September so we may not feel
the slowdown to station retrograde of this slow moving planet. Nevertheless, the
impact of any ‘stationing’ planet is still intense. However, the big planet is
sitting on 10 degrees 51 from 10th to 16th August so these are the days of
intensity when Uranus can be most potent and hit us with a lightning strike wake
up call which helps us to move some old energy out and embrace the new.
The
ongoing liberating energies of Uranus in Taurus:
With
Uranus, the awakener in the fixed earth sign of Taurus long term, until 2026, we
are getting to know how this energy works even as it can knock us off our
perch. Taurus is the most fixed of all the signs with an attachment to the
status quo and tradition. It can hold us in the energies of comfort, the
comfort zone at the expense of growth. Uranus is a liberating force which
breaks us out of the comfort zone into new territory.
This
week, next week: Sudden breakthroughs...volatility!
Words, nerves, hotheads,
headaches, sinuses, technology
This
week and next week could see this liberating impact affecting many of us with
surprises and unexpected breakthroughs.
May
be something we’ve been working with for a while. Yes, it can be volatile energy
especially when kicking off with Mercury our mind manager, in a challenging
square to Uranus on 10th, followed up by Mars in a challenging square to Pluto
exact on 13th, effective from 11th to 16th August.
Navel
gazing time:
Living the loving life...work, values, talents,
self-esteem
Taurus
is the world tree. How appropriate that we enter this navel gazing labyrinth of
Uranus retrograde in Taurus, where the Buddha gained enlightenment. Taurus,
ruled by Venus, puts the focus on values, doing the work you love, gifts,
talents and self-esteem. We’re likely to be doing a stocktake of our lives in
any or all of these areas.
The
Sabian symbol for Uranus’ station sets the tone, the agenda, the brief for the
retrograde period. Taurus is the physical body of Mother Earth. Our physical
bodies reflect the care and attention we give to our physical being as a sacred
vessel for our spirit. Venus rules Taurus, love the earth, our bodies and
nourish our physical existence with loving care.

A
PERSON SPRINKLING LONG ROWS OF FLOWERS
This Symbol shows the need to take time to nurture
your physical self. The mind needs to take a rest and the body needs to be
allowed to come to bloom and bask, a little, in the light. Keeping an eye on
things that you are responsible for will ensure that they don't dry out and fade
away ahead of, or before, their time. Weeding out undesirable factors will be a
necessary part of the process as will tending to those who can’t or won’t look
after themselves. Quiet moments of tender care can enliven others and allow them
to grow. Nurture and fertilize creativity. External evidence of internal beauty.
Looking after small details to reap the rewards later. Not drinking enough
water. Stopping to smell the roses.
15th to
19th August:
Goodbye to the lunar months of Cancer!
No more dancing on the
spot doing the Charleston!
We’ve had two and a half months dominated by
the energies of Cancer. The ‘journey to the past’, always the Cancerian theme,
has packed a double whammy this year with more than the usual backtracking
thanks to Mercury doing a retrograde stint in Cancer. If we feel like we’ve
been dragging our heels, we have.
As
long as we’re still on our feet...even figuratively!
The global
energies have been a huge weight we’ve been carrying on our backs as we worked
constantly on breaking out of the collective mindset of conditioning and
attachment to the need to belong to ‘the group’ whilst finding our own inner
truth and voice. It’s been a bit of an awkward dance for many of us while
others have found our feet and managed to keep up with the music.
Clearing
the chattering voices from the past:
With
different voices begging to be heard by us, it has been down to us to find the
true way. For many, it has been walking away from all the voices so we can hear
ourselves think, ruminate, consider and feel our way forward.
These ‘voices’
are not just the voices in our current physical world. We have been dealing
with the embedded voices in our psyche, the voices from this and other
lifetimes, existences. It’s been a huge task sorting out our own truth of here
and now.
15th to
17th August: The final Cancer Moon for the lunar month of Cancer..mostly tying up loose ends of unfinished Cancerian issues!
Possible
issues: Anything from the past, memories, home, family, childhood,
ancestors, mother
Moon in Cancer from 15th August AEST at 9.35 am
until 17th August 3.38 pm AEST
In this
last Cancerian Moon for the lunar month of Cancer we can clear up a whole lot of
unfinished business from the past 2 to 3 months. Mostly mopping up if we’ve
been doing the hard yards. In the energies of Uranus stationing and Mars still
squaring off to Pluto, anything could happen. Sudden breakthroughs!
The New
Moon in Leo comes in two days later on 19th August at 3.38 pm AEST which means
the dark of the moon release time will be mostly in the light of the Leo Moon.
Maybe a little less of the tragedy queen and a little more drama queen.
19th August: New Moon in Leo 12.41 pm AEST at 26 degrees
35 Leo
Put on your dancing shoes
A
new month, a new agenda: Prepare to plant the seeds for this next
month...yes!
The
New Moon sets the agenda for the next lunar month. Whatever aspects occur at
the New Moon continue to play out for the whole month. Sometimes, even for the
next year until the next new moon in that sign.
Staying
on your toes: A few more ‘miles to go’ yet...pacing ourselves
This New Moon has plenty of planetary
interaction so lots to keep us on the move this next month. We’ve been so busy
sidestepping, slipping and sliding to avoid potholes as well as on the spot
problem solving, our joys have been moments in time, or so it has seemed.
Take
time out to warm the heart: A warm heart is a welcoming heart!
We
still have a way to go before navel gazing comes to an end. However, making the
most of uncovering the creative life force, talents and joys of life will build
the picture for greater emergence towards the end of this year. December 2020
marks a huge turning point in the calendar and the energies...for the better.
It’s
a Leo conversation: Igniting the creative passions...what are
they?
Sun and Moon aligned on same degree giving us a
reboot of the Leo energies, the fire and light of the Sun, an ignition of our
inner pilot light into a new energy source.
Sun/Moon in Leo 26, Mercury 28
degrees Leo
Mercury
is a key player:
‘What did you say Mercury?’
Mercury
is whispering or maybe even singing into the energies of this new moon/sun
rebirth, feeding messages of joy, passion lighting up the strong spiritual
light that just keeps on burning and nourishing us spiritually.
Rocket Fuel for our star to shine! Kickstarting
our creative light!
Sun/Moon
in Leo 26 + Mercury in trine to Mars 24 Aries
The Aries rocket fuel starter energy may be just
what is needed to kickstart our Leo light, providing we don’t fall into second
guessing ourselves against the Capricorn status quo sumo wrestlers. There’s
‘ego’ and there’s divine ‘I am’ energy. Now’s our chance to test our spiritual
power, calling on our divine Aries energy to power our creative juices.
UH
oh...Capricorn challenge straight ahead hampering rocket launch...dance through
this time
Mars in square to Team Capricorn...ongoing to
October
Steady on Mars. It’s a call to the spiritual
warrior to do some fancy moves a bit like a boxer, sidestepping the blows,
anticipating the resistance, reading the signs BUT without coming to blows. Put
on the cloak of invisibility and stay out of the firing line.
What
matters most is this preparation time for readiness to launch new projects when
the time is right. Let the emotion engendered by these challenges be the fuel
of passion for your particular mission. We need focus on strategy, our goal and
the practical means to take us there including some joyful times, some Leo fun
and games and engaging in passionate creative pursuits.
Venus
in Cancer, Uranus in Taurus:
Sudden breakthroughs in the heart...old resistant
walls fall away
Connecting
in a positive sextile at 10 degrees.
Expecting more unexpected changes to the heart
and home. Think positive here as whatever happens, even if it throws you out of
your comfort zone, offers a positive outcome if we can step away from the past
‘security’ blanket of what felt safe into new territory which offers a change
for the better.
Cancer is cautious energy, Taurus likes maintaining the status
quo but Uranus likes change, growth and new frontiers.
Venus
in Cancer squaring off/challenging Chiron in Aries:
Releasing
old wounds around love and the self...be open
With the Leo urge to merge in love with
another and the healed heart of our Aries warrior, we may well find ourselves
stepping outside the comfort zone with a willingness to connect with someone new
romantically.
Pepe
le Pew says ‘Let’s go’!
Put on your dancing, romancing shoes!
Bruised
and damaged egos have been and will continue to heal in the current energies,
especially with Mercury carrying the Leo messages of love and the desire for
some lighthearted fun. Trust your willingness to open to love. Keeping it light
will work well.

DAYBREAK -
THE LUMINESCENCE OF DAWN IN THE EASTERN SKY
This
Symbol implies the gradual feeling that darkness is dispersing and that a new
day is on the horizon; you may feel there is a chance for new beginnings. Things
along the way have been sacrificed and there may be a certain emptiness, but you
will see the light of day and move forward again. This Symbol speaks of
transition times of letting go of operating in the dark and moving into a new
day with new plans and fresh solutions. New ideas, opportunities, perspectives
and realizations are emerging. Getting up at dawn and watching the Sun rise can
be a wonderful meditation for this degree. Gradual realizations of
opportunities. New cycles beginning. Leaving the past behind. Dawn meditations.
Yoga. Scenes of awe and amazement. Light from the east. Trusting in
life.
20th August:
Mercury enters Virgo at 11.29 am AEST
What's your calling?
Until 6th September
Clearing of the clutter: Mrs
Tittlemouse on the job!
Virgo
is concerned with the purification of energies, the body, psyche, emotions and
spirit. As we cleanse and clear our beings of all that is not in alignment with
the purity of our spirit, we come to purity of motive.
Stay
tuned for messages about our pathway forward:
We
come to understand our ‘calling’, our path of service, our ‘mission’ this
lifetime. That’s the Virgo message. Stay tuned to Mercury’s messages in these
weeks when he is attuned to this process.
Our
mental body getting a clearance: Healing the mind
Mercury, our mind manager, ruler of our mental
body, nervous and respiratory systems enters earthy Virgo, one of its two home
signs. Mercury rules our respiratory and nervous systems and being in Virgo,
the focus will be on the physical body. So, the ‘cleansing’ process may well be
through these systems...lungs, sinuses, ears/nose/throat as well as nervous
reactions embedded in the psyche. It’s a healing time.
Health,
well being, physically and mentally a priority:
Virgo energy urges us to consider health and
well being a
priority with an emphasis on attending to the body with nutrition,
diet, exercise and natural therapies. It’s important that we don’t overdo on the
treadmill or we’ll end up drained of energy and laid up in bed. Easy does it as
Virgo can get us running on nervous energy.
Why the mice?
Virgo rules pets and small
animals. The Virgo symbol is a maiden holding a sheaf of wheat which is why I
have chosen the mouse, the field mouse as a messenger for Virgo healing. I like
the fact that Beatrix Potter portrays Mrs. Tittlemouse as immensely house proud,
neat, tidy and clean.
23rd August: Sun enters Virgo at 1.44 am AEST...sorting
and sifting the wheat from the chaff!
Until 22nd September
Sorting and sifting: Getting into basic
values!
Now, this is perfection, divine timing as the
Sun arrives in Virgo to awaken in us the ‘tidiness’ impulse, the drive to sort
the wheat from the chaff.
This
applies to every sector of our lives, the physical,emotional, mental and
spiritual. The initial drive with this energy is to apply the sorting process
to our physical lives, possessions, money, assets.
A
therapeutic chat with a trusted advisor could be worthwhile:
However, it is so much more than this and
especially so this year when many are facing dramatic changes with respect to
income, employment, home security and physical support of basic needs.
Many
people are changing careers, considering change of career, employment because of
the national and global economic situation. Many are wondering how they are
going to maintain their lives, lifestyle, situation with less income.
Time
for the pruning shears!
Virgo isn’t necessarily the family accountant
but she is very much attuned to pruning the extraneous from our lives, to
prioritizing needs and wants, to being frugal with assets. Virgo can help us to
thrive on simplicity, simple joys and pleasures from everyday living. She is
the everyday, the mundane with a capacity to live richly through discovering
simple pleasures. It’s all a matter of perspective.
Small
pleasures: Simple joys
For so long we’ve been living in a world that
believes that progress means expansion that we’ve lost sight of the inner growth
that comes from working with what we have instead of hankering after what we
can’t have. This doesn’t mean we lose our desires. We’re just scaling down and
like the field mouse, getting in touch with the small pleasures offered to us
every day.
Appreciating
the daily rites and rituals: Time for some feng shui?
Virgo enjoys the rituals in daily life, from
that first cuppa of the day to drawing the curtains when darkness falls. If we
take the time, we can naturally attune to our inner Virgo Feng Shui consultant
who can advise of what needs to go and what can stay.
This
time calls us to pay attention to the energy of placement of objects in the
home, the work environment. Two aspects operate here...efficiency and alignment
with the room/house energy.
Manifestation
potential of Virgo time:
Believe in the power of Virgo mind power!
Harnessing
our mind on focussing on our highest priority, our deepest desire, works well
with the Virgo earth power. All earth signs hold this potential. It’s the
power of Virgo’s ruler Mercury which can bring these ideas to earth!

That’s all folks!
Hugs
all around!
We’re
all hanging in, hanging out and some of us are hanging on. But, somehow we’re
here, even though some of our numbers have gone over, we’re all still together
focussed on light power, the light at the end of the 2020 tunnel. Yes, there is
a light...straight on.
The
lunar month kicks off in Leo and then we go straight into Virgo solar power and
focus which is the energy we need to ground those high flying dreams, delusions
and to help our dancing queen bring a whole new reality to the dance of our
lives.
It’s
not an easy run through the next couple of months until end of October with Mars
squaring off to the 3 planets in the Capricorn team. Mars is a personal planet
and he’s out on his own in challenge to the status quo. We’re going to dance
through to the end of the year. Take your partner, if you’ve got one and if you
haven’t, you might find one in the next month.
Love and blessings to us all as we maintain focus, returning to
patience when the frustration overwhelms. I don’t think there’s many who have
escaped moments of irritation, anger, despair or grief negotiating the energies
of 2020. Ideology, belief systems become irrelevant when we’re all held in the
same yoke of game changing systems.
helenbea
from the chair...still here
It’s all
about love
Divine reunion
Steady on Mars. It’s a call to the spiritual
warrior to do some fancy moves a bit like a boxer, sidestepping the blows,
anticipating the resistance, reading the signs BUT without coming to blows. Put
on the cloak of invisibility and stay out of the firing line.
Believe in the power of Virgo mind power!
