Dancing in the Dark: Astrology Overview August 14th – 20th

If the brain is the radio’s receiver, then the heart is the dial tuning the radio to the frequency of your choice.”  ~ Nassim Haramein

This is a week of potent fiery astrology with echoes of the Great American Eclipse of August 21 2017 and the Solar Eclipse Grand Cross of August 11 1999 – both events for the memory books.

On August 13, at the Sun/Venus Star Point at 20 Leo, Venus morphs from the Evening Star into the Morning Star, initiating a new 584 days Venus cycle. Expect a close encounter with the dark feminine, your hidden twin, your Anima.

Allow yourself to meet your deepest desires, suppressed feelings and creative core face to face as the Goddess and Black Moon Lilith are absorbed into the dark of the potent Leo New Moon on August 16th.

Since the New Moon is plugged into Awakener Uranus in Taurus-not to mention the karmic Nodes of Fate, Neptune, Pluto, Disruptor Eris and Mars- the body electric wants what it wants- spontaneity, love, passion drama and magic.

This is a dance with the matrix of brilliance – a web of interconnected energy fields – stepping into a new cycle of creation. In the days and weeks ahead, ground yourself in the Now and the New in your Morning Pages journal with a review/audit/ new spin of all your inklings/ brainwaves/ ideas.

Notice glimmers of:

  • Inspiration.
  • Grace.
  • Pattern connecting.
  • Awakenings.
  • Big picture visioning.
  • Flow cycles of Incubate/ Ripening/ Create/ Rest/ Regenerate replacing striving.
  • Aligning with others.
  • New mind-body coherence.

If it feels right, amplify and manifest the wave of High Heart energy with a meaningful personal ritual. It doesn’t need to be dramatic-perhaps offer roses, sunflowers or rose quartz.
