Suerte from the Moon July 30, 2011 2:39:47 p.m. Jensen Beach, FL,© Chica de las Estrellas
You have read about a 2nd Full Moon being a “Blue Moon” but I am not sure if you remember the last time I told you about a 2nd New Moon in a month. Unlike its replete counterpart, this one has several names it is known by. Some call it the Secret Moon or the Spinner’s Moon and some call it the Finder’s Moon. When we look at these names, we see the themes of getting something secretly desired. This 2nd in a month New moon is in the heart-opening sign of Leo. The lion brings a certain pizzaz to our lives. Here in the northern hemisphere it is a final push into the heat of summer. Kids are getting in those last summer activities before it is time to hunker down and get back to schoolwork. Adults are taking time for much needed relax time. All in all, we are following through on what we want.
What are your deep secret desires? That which you have been asking for, may very well come true with this moon. This is a really good time to look at the patterns of your speech and what you have been creating with your words. Already I am able to see the fruits of my desires coming through. One of my longtime wishes was grated this morning on a beach walk. Those of you who read my “Where’s Ambika?” newsletter read in the recent issue about my fascination with sea turtles. I have seen a mother laying eggs and get back in the sea. I have seen random hatchlings and even have helped them out but this morning I witnessed a sandy nest explode into new life as at least 50 baby Loggerhead hatchlings spring out of the sand and sprinted to the water line. Though I realized it was a circle of life, I gulped as I saw a seagull make off with one. I wished that the birds didn’t need to feed off the beautiful creatures. Fortunately there was only one which became a breakfast withing the scope of my vision. It was truly amazing to watch as they felt the water and just took off like runners with the right sneakers on, they seemingly flew across the sand. I have one word: Amazing
This warming New Moon is a high-spirited celebration of life and is joined by the lovely goddess Venus who promises to playfully raise the bar on fun! Many are experiencing a spring-fever kind of feeling which comes up quite suddenly, inspired by a lovely trine by innovative Uranus. Be prepared to be swept into a completely different direction. The only warning I have for you is to mind being excessive due to a shake up from Jupiter, the guru of more as he squares the event. Keep your head above water and mind your Ps and Qs!
August 2, brings another of our favorite backpedaling sessions as Mercury turns station and Retrograde. Yes I am being facetious! Back up your hard drive now right now. Then come back and read the rest of this, really! The messenger turns to his backward motion while opposite foggy Neptune. Do the routine of double checking and following up. If things aren’t right, fix them. Dreams are a source of great wisdom throughout this phase.
Mars moves into one of his least favorite zones August 3, when he slows down into Cancer. Think about the oxymoron of this in the idea of a nurturing warrior or sensitive fire. It just doesn’t quite make sense. Those with a tendency toward passive aggressive behavior blossom into a big display. Those who often get caught in the wake should protect themselves accordingly and prepare for it. Be direct and firm while standing string for your beliefs.
Now you get a bit of a break when brilliant Aquarius plays host to mystical Neptune August 4. Those of you who meditate and practice metaphysics are in for a great treat as new levels are revealed. This is the time of genius. Get back to work on your inventions. Let’s all put some positive energy on the ideas of solutions for global waste issues and the discovery of clean alternative energy which is affordable to all.
Mercury continues his back up and steps on the Leo the lion’s tail August 8. This is sure to cause acting out spurred by pride. Use intellect to get you out of the potential mess. Put your energy back into your own creative output.
Prepare for a crazy midweek strain August 9 and 10 when the warrior Mars squares wacky Uranus and at the same time opposes the alchemist Pluto. Impulsive sparks fly which trigger very strange behavior. If you have kids, put them on a diet of calming foods and beverages. Lay off the extra stimulants yourself. If crisis happens, breathe deeply and use your well-honed skills to handle everything. This may be a foreshadowing of what is to come in your future. So take good notes on what works and stash them in your backpack for the future.
Luna who represents your psyche, swells to fullness August 13 in the innovative sign of Aquarius. She of course opposes the Sun, which represents the ego and appearance as well as Mercury who shows you your ability to communicate and Venus your attraction to things and them to you. This is a classic line up of the personal planets. Keep reminding yourself to act with integrity and as a grownup. Use the fire of Leo, which is where all the personal planets are as an opportunity to come from your heart rather than from on top of a soap box.
Thankfully things become tidy as the month draws to a close. August 21, Venus enters Virgo bringing a much more down to earth view of the situation and ideas as to how to clean up any messes which happened since the new moon. Any unrealistic attractions are revealed. Virgo gets you to roll up your sleeves and get it all cleaned up.
Following in suit the self-important ego gets a good long look in the mirror August 23 when the Sun enters Virgo. Personal health practices are reevaluated. Be sure to honor every little step in the right direction as the goddess of perfection can often urge you to set your standards a little too high.
Thoughts become clear and computers begin to work again August 26 when Mercury turns direct. Be patient. Mercury needs a little extra time to get things rolling. It could be a few weeks before you feel like yourself again. Remember all change is good.
Leo is childlike and creative. It is impossible to interrupt a creative process with a bunch of words and ideas. Therefore, this month I am taking a Zen approach to your horoscope and offering you a mantra to use as a touchstone of hope and help. Keep it as your power tool to get you through the amazing growth you are about to experience. For an interesting twist, read the sign opposite to your Sun Sign which is six away and for a little further help read your Rising sign as well. If this is too confusing, get in touch with me for a quick twenty minute session which you can have for $30 this month.
