FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE   AUGUST 16^th

Friday at 2:16pm PDT  with the MOON AT 24 degrees 21 minutes

Of Aquarius and the sun at 24 Degrees 21 minutes of Leo

The word “eclipse” is from the Greek Verbs Ecleipo, which is (to cease, existing) and Calypse (to cover).   We see the sun as a linear and logical energy (left brain) which we use to create life with on this planet.  While the moon is the right brain, more intuitive energy of feelings and emotions and in astrology represents our past. 

We are living in exciting times and this eclipse now ends a cycle for us which we have been dealing with for the last few months.  At a full moon we have the option to release and let go until the next NEW moon.  Ideas, feelings, emotions, and things which no longer serve us

Leave more easily over the next 2 weeks  and we are now sensing that some things are just not working and either Must be reconfigured or released.

A Lunar eclipse is when the Earth (practicality and where we are now) stands between the moon (which represents our emotions and our past) and the sun, (the light) cutting off the light of the sun from the moon (our past) .   These eclipses seem to bring us into REALITY. The bright light of truth, justice and what is really TRUE.  Let this light  shine on all those Old ideas and feelings and we will get an opportunity to truly SEE  THE  LIGHT in our own lives and release the past with this full moon Lunar Eclipse.

Lunar eclipses are a bit more emotionally electric than solar eclipses so remember the ECLIPSE RULE: NO NOT REACT or even ACT right now if possible for 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after these eclipses. Eclipses will reverberate for about 6 months for all of us, so there is no sense in rushing into actions right now.   Lunar eclipses are always at a FULL moon time and this is usually a more emotional time  than usual, so slow down and have FUN and make

Love and peace, not war during this Aquarius /  Leo  Eclipse

For many of us finally we will begin to feel safe enough to take off our masks, come out of the closet  and experience the freedom of not hiding behind our pain or our past as this Aquarius energy pushes us towards being our own unique and original self.

My personal belief is that eclipses are the WILD cards that allow us to AWAKEN. Eclipses happen to WAKE  US  UP

TRY NEVER to sign important papers, have surgery, or do major debates or negotiations, during the 24 hours prior to and after the eclipse. The waves of emotions are still high and it is best to wait for a smoother energy for important events.

THE ECLIPSES work with the LUNAR Nodes which represent in your chart where you have come from and where you are growing to. AND In the sky where we learning spiritual development are the North node and the South Node is what has nourished us in the past.

For this eclipse we have the energy to reconfigure our lives but we have to learn Non-attachment to the past which is the lesson in Aquarius.  So for this eclipse we have

Chiron the wounded healer (retrograde) at 18 Aquarius

North Node what we must do at 18 Aquarius

Neptune illusion and intuition (retrograde) at 22 Aquarius

And the moon (our past and emotions) at 24 Aquarius  asking that we remove ourselves

From pain and suffering, move forward and envision what COULD be and heal the past.

My Mantra for this time is   I FORGIVE ALL PAST EXPERIENCES without
Putting blame or excuses on any of it and LET IT GO”   Which seems much in

Theme with all the other energy.

Uranus the planet of change going backwards (retrograde) in Pisces  Asking us to

Think differently, dream what we want and realize we are manifesting every moment by our thoughts.  GOOD or bad, it is being created with this magical new energy.

And we also have a GRAND Trine of earth energy which is productivity and an energy which urges us to build firm foundations. 

We have the planets Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn in the linear and logical earth sign of Virgo.  We also have Vesta the energy of sacred commitment in Taurus    And the 3^rd earth energy is Jupiter going backwards (retrograde) in Capricorn.  A Grand trine of Earth energy will assist us over the next 6 months in our building projects to  create what we want instead of what others have expected of us.

Pluto is moving backwards in the Freedom loving and TRUTH sign of Sagittarius (Fire) asking

That we find the FIRE and the passion to create a life which is in alignment

All of the outer planets are involved aspect wise in this eclipse which is always the theme when HUGE changes are coming upon the planet to politics, and since Aquarius is Equality for all and Leo is heart energy about creativity, love and joy.  This should be a wonderful time coming for the planet.  Though the Virgo planets are asking us to tighten our belts, we are told that if we

Pare down and really look at what gives us JOY we are going to gain much more than we thought we ever could have.

As in all FULL MOONS we have an opposition to all the Aquarius (air energy) as

We have the SOUTH node (our past) at 18 Leo, (Leo energy is Fixed Fire)  we have The sun (the light and the now) At 24 Leo;  and Transpluto (personal transformation) at 28 Leo.  These Leo planets Are asking you to step up to the creativity, fun, romance, risks, adventure and take a gamble on yourself.  

Be open to miracles with this eclipse as Neptune asks us to dream, believe and as planets

Begin to go direct around Thanksgiving we will have many answers as to what we are going to be doing next. 

For Right now, get into the vision of believing that things will be better than you could imagine.  For right now, get into joy.  For right now, take a look at your life and begin to approach life in a simpler more joyful manner and we are all going to be truly astounded at our  new lives.  One day at a time is all this energy asks of us, we can do that, right?  And if we do this we will….

HEAL the past by seeing a new future for yourself and for the next 2 weeks let go of all

Blame, Anger and guilt. 

How you do this is by replacing it with FUN, with laughter, with Joy, with color, and sunsets, and sunrises, and friends who love you and by beginning each day anew with renewed vows of “Today I shall be more joyful, trust more, and be open to miracles”

And if you read this and think “I have none of these”  Begin to create it.  Begin to hang out with people who donate time and care for others, people who are energetically open, cheerful and alive, and you can pick up this energy and become this also.   We none of us are finished products and we are all BECOMING something new with this energy.  So lets create the US we want to be and if we each do this, how can the world not become a Better and happier place?

Do this and I promise that this next 6 months are going to awaken you to a new life .

I WISH YOU LOVE, JOY, peace and that you immediately begin to

FORGIVE ALL PAST EXPERIENCES without
Putting blame or excuses on any of it and LET IT GO”

The Houses

Astrology is a language of symbols. We use the astrological

signs like costumes for the planets which are the actors.

The houses are the areas or the stages where the actors

in their costumes do their thing.

The 1st through the 6th houses relate to your life, your

family and your stuff. The 7th through 12th houses represent

you in the world, mixing and mingling with others. 

FULL moons create energy of letting go, 

and NEW MOON EVENTS create a CONJUNCTION OR Merging in one Area

and an energy of NEW beginnings and the birth of something new..…

FULL MOONS are in opposition and something needs to end and we

see this also as a need to balance your energy in those areas (2 houses) 

LUNAR ECLIPSES ARE FULL MOONS AND ACTIVATE 2  houses for you:

REMEMBER a house is nothing but the FOUNDATION something is happening

on.  Eclipse always involve the SUN AND the moon And whether they are

working together to CREATE or apart as far as they can get in a

full moon eclipses which we are having on August 16, 2008

I can promise you ECLIPSES are going TO ROCK YOUR WORLD:

•           1st house is the Ascendant, self, your body and

        physical appearance and how others see you.

•           2nd house is money and what you think is important,

        such as your values, desires, money and possessions.

•           3rd house is communication, brothers, sisters,

        lower learning, practical mind, socialization and

        communication.

•           4th house is home, security, family, ties to the past, 

        safety, nurturing and roots.

•           5th house is love, creativity, kids, sex, 

        risks, romance and self esteem.

•           6th house is work, health, duty, service

•           7th house is partnerships of all kinds, how you 

        identify with others and balance self with others.

•           8th house is intimacy, joint finances, joint values,

        sexual energy, shared resources, and death and endings.

•           9th house is higher religion, philosophy, ideas, travel,

        higher mind, spirituality and how we expand our horizons.

•           10th house is career but most of all how you are seen,

        your title, status, authorities, respect and recognition.

•           11th house is groups, friends, the things you want to

        leave as a legacy this lifetime for mankind to use,

        causes, goals, friends, harmony and fellowship.

•           12th house is the closet, secrets, karma, the past 

        and dreams, visions, limitations, repressed energy

        and spiritual connection

THIS FULL MOON ECLIPSE WILL OPEN 2 of these areas in your life.

Wednesday August 13, 2008  A Great day for accomplishments

Though we are just 3 days from the LUNAR ECLIPSE we

Are feeling the push as planets and energies grow this week.

The moon in Capricorn today urges us to excel and at

7:43am as it touches Jupiter (the planet of MORE) we

May just be feeling we can do anything today that we set

Our minds to do.  AND that could be true.

At 10:03am the planet of what we want and love (Venus)

Touches Saturn (obligations and accountability) and the

Urge to create something lasting is here.  As this day

Goes onwards the energy seems to build until at last at

11:57pm the moon makes a GREAT aspect with URANUS

In the sign of Pisces.

And we create another wild dream night, with some very

Interesting information if you set intentions before bed to

Get CONCRETE knowledge and information.  WE are

Being gifted with a wonderful energy this month which is

Allowing us to perceive the past in order to begin to really

Release it on the Lunar eclipse full moon Saturday.  So, take

Notes and look on all that has happened the last few months

As INFORMATION only.  LET go of emotions and see what

This information has really been trying to lead you into.

-     Kiss for today:  GO beyond your ordinary modes of ideas  

      and see what doorways open for you by STRETCHING everything,

      mind, body, spirit

-     Color today  green for healing

-     Use green aventurine for physical healing and Amber

       or Turquoise for spiritual or soul or past lives healing

-     Oil of jasmine or rose for soothing opening to love and healing

All problems are invitations to look deeper 

 and live higher. — Alan Cohen
