Suerte from the Moon for August 9, 2010, 11:08:09 p.m. West Palm Beach, FL© Chica de las Estrellas

The New Moon at 17 degrees Leo has the signature of a chemist. Add to mix, the alchemical power of Pluto and consider this more of a mad scientist. Pluto melts your foundations this month. That’s right, some of what you thought was steady and fast is literally dissolving under your feet! The epicenter of this event is later in the month on August 21. Don’t get worried and jump around senselessly, Hades (which is the other name for Pluto) does not respond well to such foolishness. If the icy master chooses to aim the torches of his transformative arm at you, the best thing to do is to thaw willingly and melt into newness.

This is usually where most people have the hardest time. Letting go is very tricky for the masses. It has been my observation that people really freak out in the energy of change, unless they have a lot of Plutonic and Scorpionic energy in their charts. Even then, they can spend a lifetime fighting it. Struggle doesn’t work.  It just tightens the grip of the situation on you, through your fears. I recall the little woven thumb puzzle from China I had, when I was child. I would place my two thumbs into it and try to get out. When I struggled, it tightened the grip and made it impossible. But, when  relaxed and could breathe easy, the puzzle just released, effortlessly. This is a great lesson in the power of relaxation and no doubt a brilliant invention to teach children the power of being present. I know it worked for me.
 
A favored technique many use to disguise challenging situations, is to redress them. Have you ever noticed that after you surrender your post, the one that you were sure was toxic for you, a new one comes long in different clothing? Mysteriously, once you get to know it, you find it unfolds and possesses the same attributes as the one you discarded! This shows up in people, jobs, housing and all corners of life. I  know you know exactly what I am talking about!

This is because life is just a smidgen of the soul’s journey, not the entire route. This body is temporary and we are here to learn and change habits that reach much further back than childhood. A big part of the lesson is learning to accept, adapt and accommodate. These are the greatest actions which we came here to practice. Repeat after me: “All change is good, all change is good, all change is good!”

I am here to help you Identify where the potential meltdown is about to occur. This of course depends on the planetary placements in your personal natal chart. The only way I can explain this is on an individual basis. I know you want to know the details, so I suggest you book a private appointment for a consultation.

The New Moon on
August 9 is in the playful sign of Leo. The lion’s energy is usually warming and playful but, this lunation has an intense aspects of a T-square formed by independent Uranus inflated by a conjunction with Jupiter and the restrained by their opposition to serious Saturn and topped off by the potent control of Pluto and we are guaranteed to feel redesign at a molecular level!

In addition to all that geometry, we are also experiencing the opposition of Uranus to Venus which flings spears of seduction at our psyches. Stay grounded. When you feel surges of amor and attraction, be the witness. Just say “Oh, and there’s an interesting feeling” rather than diving into an embrace and making a decision you are sure to regret later. Stay mindful of how our actions affect others. Fanatical antics are spurred on which cause you to float into fantasy.
 
August 13, Uranus drifts into Pisces bringing the potential discovery of unusual solutions to all messes both personal and global. Hopefully this means we find a way to save the resources which have been trampled on recently. Use your imagination to find the best solutions rather than lolling around in slapdash situations.

The second of three Jupiter-Saturn oppositions occurs August 16. Saturn is just in the first degree of Libra prospecting the new territory. Job changes need time and a great deal of forethought. Keep things real and trudge along at a steady pace. Spurts from the Aries induced flames on Jupiter’s back could cause erratic behavior. If this crazy behavior is you, put yourself in time out! If it is coming from another, give them time out. Keep things cool. Fireballs burn up precious production.

Mercury steps cautiously backward in a retrograde cycle visiting the exacting realm of Virgo on August 20. All tiny mistakes have the potential of creating unfortunate mishaps of gigantic proportion. Triple check your work and give a pause prior to speaking. Virgo’s influence on her ruling planet is that of daily health and tasks. If it is time to change your health habits, get on with it!

The final of three squares between our heavy hitters happens on August 21. This is between restrictive Saturn and obsessive Pluto. Notorious for crashing and rebuilding in this particular angle of ninety degrees, I am giving Pluto the winning flag in this match due to his placement in Saturn-ruled Capricorn. Take a cue from the seagoat. Strive for a higher level of spirit while maintaining a connection to the stirring emotional state brewing in your depths.

August 22 the Sun tiptoes daintily into Virgo, signaling the seasonal change which is about to occur. The keen-sighted virgin, delights in picking apart ego flaws. Don’t let it get you down. Accept yourself, what you are and what you have created.

The impressionable Pisces Full Moon wants to float you out of reality and into your fantasy world. This is on August 24. Don’t go there. Remember the alchemist is just waiting to burn everything up and turn it into something completely different. Hold your ground and be sure to keep your health in the number one priority position.

If you think spring fever is frisky, this month is sure to have confusable conundrums. Remember you hold the reigns which drive your personal chariot. Be sure your horses are properly hitched and that you read the road-map thoroughly before you get en route to a new destination.

For signposts and to find what is in store for you during this lunar month more specifically, please read your Sun Sign. For added insight, read your rising sign as well. If you don’t know what that is, get in touch with me and I will enlighten you.
                       
Aries March 19/20 to April 20/21   
Venus is redecorating your house of partners and having party with unusual Uranus. Fickle behavior and a storm of confusion follow as Uranus begins backpedaling. Forget trying to solve things quickly. Saturn’s stern hand seemingly grows larger as Jupiter joins in. Best to roll up your sleeves and go through all of this, point by point, gingerly sorting through the drama. The sparks of solutions surface the last three days of the month. As the big picture comes into focus, spend a few days fantasizing about solutions but wait to try to put anything into action. More to sort through will show up at the start of the next lunar cycle. It is not your M.O. but I urge you to be patient!

Taurus April 20/21 to May 21/22
Take a stand on the first three days of this lunation. When Venus, your ruler receives and eye-opening visit from papa Saturn. This reminds you of curfews and discipline. Seduction and mayhem ensue August 16 through 20, when the machismo of Mars takes advantage of Venus’ urge to oblige. If you are in a committed relationship stick your head in the freezer or take an icy cold shower, unless you have a clear and concise endpoint in mind. Sift and organize your feelings into plus and minus columns. Do all the math and then bring all-important idea sums to the front burner and get cooking!   
                               
Gemini May 21/22 to June 21/22
Inflated dreams take you up in a soaring balloon ride. Maintain one foot on the ground so as to avoid unnecessary tensions which ultimately block your success.  Are you ready to dabble in pleasure? Career bumps are still being sorted out with a deluge of mixed messages. Though commitment is what you shy away from, sit yourself down and get a crystal clear view of what is going on around you. The brilliant idea you hope for is just around the corner. Make a concerted effort to bring it into your consciousness.       
       
Cancer June 22/23 to July 22/23
Your courage and self-esteem increase this lunar month. The seesaw you are teetering on bounces you between an itch for excitement and your natural need for safety and security. Don’t scratch yourself raw wanting, as you sit in refuge. Give yourself permission to take risks. Romance is around the corner. Simplify and organize. Accept your heartfelt desires and believe you are deserving. Sitting still playing it safe at this time, is no way to bump into amazing! Get up off your keister and get cracking!
               
Leo July 22/23 to August 23/24   
I’m not going to kid around with you. You are under a lot of stress. You know that life is not a game of Dodge-ball and how to get up and face the music. Often the big picture is quite overwhelming. Your mantra this lunar month is “Baby steps and tiny bites.”  When you make the right decisions, you receive instant gratification. Know that confusion happens. Just before the next New Moon of September, have good look at your financial situation and take measures to step it up a notch. Responsibility for self and the future is of the utmost importance right now.
    
Virgo August 23/24 to September 23/24
Time to prepare to bid farewell to all that has not worked out over the last year, as you prepare for regeneration of self this month. Clean the corners of your mind and sort through what you have learned this last year. Keep a watch out for manipulators after your energy. The decisions you make are locked in for life. If there is a shadow of a doubt, say no! Those of you seeking relationships have a wide-open door to step through. Those of you in committed relationships experience renewal and revelation about your partners.
    
Libra September 23/24 to October 23/24
The floaty feeling you had last week has settled deep into the ground. Let yourself and your life take root. Globe trotting is fanciful and fabulous, but how does it really contribute to you evolution. Be still, be here now. Life only feels heavy if you let it. When the moon is full on August 24, make a new commitment to really deal with your house and your body as a home. Others give you great advice. Here’s the twist: get out of your head and start trusting your gut feelings!       

Scorpio October 23/24 to November 22/23
Yes, you have been making huge decisions and growing in leaps and bounds all year long. Yes, you have been pulled in an excessive amount of directions. When presented with new ideas and opportunities there is no need to bend out of your happiness or your comfort zones. Just say no thank you. The web of karma is spinning around you. Destiny is at work here. Handle the ups and the downs with poise and finesse. The week of the August 26 gives you the recharge of energy you have been craving. This is followed by the New Moon next month in September, which brings you clear power. Hang tight!

Sagittarius   November 22/23 to December 21/22   
The wrestling match in your mind is due to a power struggle between accountability and your true nature. You love the feeling of leaping out of the pasture and running free equally to the sensation of a belly full of knowledge. Ah, but having your cake and eating too, is not an option. Take a break from your usual push pattern. Be still and be quiet. I know this makes you nuts, so don’t crack. A little bit of rest and retreat goes a long way. By the end of this lunar cycle, the needle on your tank points to full steam ahead.       

Capricorn December 21/22 to January 20/21   
Emotionalism wears grooves in your touchstone while  emotional waves disrupt the rhythm of your tides. Regain happiness, health and prosperity by placing  your focus onto your work place. The reflection sparkles new light upon your home life. Charged with this new energy, you easily complete all projects. Do everything it takes to remain positive. Any slight explosion potentially sets off a kerfuffle of cataclysmic proportion. Hold of on big moves and long journeys until next month.   
               
Aquarius January 20/21 to February 18/19
Save yourself a fit of frustration by itemizing and prioritizing the tasks on your “to do” list. Soak up as much information as is energetically possible from teachers and respected guides. Much deserved good fortune is with you through March of 2022.  Therefor, it is very important that you set a cohesive plan into action now. The base stones of any structure define its stability in the long-run. This is not a joyride but rather a serious decision making time to set the tone for your entire future. The insights and revelations you receive just before the next New Moon, possess the greatest possible degree of importance.  

Pisces February 18/19 to March 19/20
Sort through, clean up and rearrange your thoughts and things, though you would feel more inclined to favor the flavor of daydreams and fantasies. Enjoy the fleeting waves of bliss and then get right down to business.  The determining factors of a brand-new partnership must be succinctly summarized in order to place your trust in their long-term worth. Share the narrative with only the individuals who hold the key to your inner sanctum. This is no time to be fanning the airwaves with your skivvies or your private thoughts.
