August New Moon is the Time to Love and Create

(Chart set for: August 4, 2005 - 8:05 p.m. PDT (August 5, 2005 - 3:05 a.m. GMT)

For some the start of a New Age or Paradigm will be like turning a page in a great book. Others at this lunation will be seeking joy yet will feel the birth pangs of a new creations. Despite all the insane, mishaps and somewhat momentous news. The news of many perishing in the middle east and leaders that are dying or being replaced in concordance with the ongoing Saturn in Leo transits, there are bright spots of happiness. This August Lunation is a primary indicator of spiritual growth and opportunity. Coming on the heels of Lughnasad or Lammas 7/31 to 8/1 (celebrating the height of the Summer Season) when the Goddess becomes the gatherer of the crops and the grain. Representing the grain is Lugh, a God of the Many Skilled of the arts and knowledge - this is at time whene we can harvest our own special skills and abilities adding to our own authentic selves.

The Civilization of the Lion and the Sphinx retrieves heart
With Sun, Moon and Mercury closely tied in Leo - the archetype of Leo takes center stage. Our hearts (ruled by Leo) should open as our spirits hark back to a time of the great civilizations (Saturn in Leo) like Atlantis and Lemuria when love was stronger. As we embark on the next two weeks we become part of joyful creation, the artist that resides within all of our inner child's soul. With the Mercury retrograde, from July 22 to August 15, we now can rescript our lives, paint our masterpiece, write the great novel or just fall in love with our soul mate.

Sabian symbol for 13° Leo
The Sabian symbol for 13° Leo (Sun/Moon) - "An old sea captain rocking himself on the porch of his cottage" This new moon is a time to relax and reflect on our dreams, goals and skills that we have acquired since the spring equinox. Just like the masterful old sea captain, we are now able to look back at what we've accomplished but with our eye on the future (trine N Node Aries). The universe has given us multiple gifts to create our special structure of a new life and time especially with Saturn in Leo lighting up our structures of love. Saturn always reflects the maturing and age of a project along with the bones or framework

August New Moon Hosts a Mystic Rectangle and a Yod
First of all the Mystic Rectange in the lunation chart is a positive, somewhat complex configuration reputed to be used in initiation chambers and temples of older civilizations - altars had been constructed in these proportions. Here are the dynamics:
A configuration formed by at least four planets, comprising two trines and two sextile aspects with oppositions forming from all four corners of the configuration.


Here are the planetary energy vectors: Jupiter/Libra expanding our need for cooperation in relationships trines Neptune/Aquarius pushing our dreams, imaginations to higher altitudes beyond the pale. Sun/Moon/Leo (creative and emotional purpose) trines N Node in Aries (our destiny/future involves the new). Stir this highly combustible mix and put on slow simmer after adding: Jupiter sextile Sun - mighty bit of confidence to help our identity in the universe. With the Neptune/N Node Sextile showing how we are ready to pioneer artistic and spiritual templates into the future and beyond. This magical configuration allows even the oppositions (Neptune opp. Sun + Jupiter opp N Node) help provide harmony and balance motivating everyone to integrate a version of "practical mysticism".

Now the Yod or Hand of God is an easier pattern to describe and usually found in charts of people with unusual spiritual destinies. The players on this lunation are Venus/15Virgo, Neptune/16Aquarius and N Node/16Aries. Here we have two planets in sextile and both are quincunx a third or apex in this case it is that Goddess of beauty and splendor Venus. So we may see a notable woman - Cindy Sheehan who is holding a vigil at Crawford, Texas and confronting Bush about her son's death - 24-year old son, Spc. Casey Sheehan who was killed in Baghdad's Sadr City on April 4, 2004 . Looking into the future Cindy (Venus) teaches us how we all need to adjust (quincunx) to these overly accelerated times. Going into a little more depth the sabian symbol for Venus at 17 Virgo is a Volcano in Eruption
which really is talking about creative passion and explosion of artistic ability or even self-discovery. At this juncture we are lucky to have Venus/Virgo in mutual reception to Mars/Taurus which can put our creations, desires and physical passions on the fast track - read my last jog/blog.

Since July 28th the Mayan Dreamspell Calendar has opened the Galactic Activation Portal or Stargate if you prefer till August 6th - two days after this cosmic new moon.
On lunation day the Mayan symbol is Red Solar Skywalker in the New Year of the Yellow Cosmic Seed

Theme and Verse of the Day:
I Pulse in order to Explore
Realizing Wakefullness
I seal the Output of Space
With the Solar tone of Intention
I am guided by the power of Universal Water
I am a galactic activation portal enter me.

As I said in my poem: You Can Fly - The Mayan wandered in time to create Primary events and signs.
They layed the ground for new timelines to flourish.
Now the Lunatic Parade has started despite
all attempted stalls, strikes and other delays...fantasy flight
If you can choose Gratitude in every moment, you can fly!
