Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces - Deeper Healing Visions and Spiritual Shifts

 

Dearest friends, starseeds, light workers, seekers of a new consciousness and creators of a new earth...

Seek the truly practical life, but seek it in such a way that it does not blind you to the spirit working in it. Seek the spirit, but seek it not out of spiritual greed, but so that you may apply it in the genuinely practical life.
Rudolph Steiner



The August 27–28, 2026 deep partial lunar eclipse will be visible across [North and South America, Europe, Africa, and western Asia] .For the US Pacific Time Zone (including Salem, Oregon), the height of the eclipse occurs on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 9:12 p.m. PDT, when roughly 96% of the Moon enters Earth's shadow.






 
Timeline for Pacific Time (PDT) on August 27
  • Partial Eclipse Begins: ~7:47 p.m. PDT [index:1.3.6]
  • Maximum/Peak Height: 9:12 p.m. PDT [index:1.3.6]
  • Partial Eclipse Ends: ~12:01 a.m. PDT (early Friday, Aug 28) 

From my  POV, the exact time  of the  Full Moon in Pisces is where I set my chart. I will be using 9:19 PDT.  For Eastern Time Zone use  August 28, 2026 @ 12: 19  AM EDT 
No  matter where the Full  Moon  occurs, the  Sun will  be  at 4  degrees 54 minutes of  Virgo  
opposing  the Moon at 4 degrees 54 minutes of  Pisces. 

This is  a Lunar Eclipse that will be operating  on many levels, multi-dimensional in nature. 
On August 22nd, the Sun moved into Virgo, a mutable earth sign having left the fixed fires of  Leo.  On  the  3rd and the 4th dimensional level we have entered a portal that is  highly mutable, vulnerable to passionate shifts of perspectives: 

This Full Moon in Pisces on August 27th invites us to  ride on  an intense emotional wave that clashes directly with your rational mind. This alignment creates a tug-of-war between the watery, deeply emotional energy of Pisces and the logical, analytical focus of the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. Because the water-god and empathetic wizard aka the  dwarf planet Gonggong is heavily involved sitting at 5 degrees 59 minutes conjunct the Moon, you can expect your deepest vulnerabilities and empathy to overflow, making you feel much more sensitive to the world around you.

Meanwhile, Uranus in Gemini injects a sudden, unpredictable spark into this mix, striking like a flash of lightning to trigger unexpected conversations, sudden changes of heart, or fast-paced mental breakthroughs. To navigate this energy smoothly, you must find a way to balance your raw intuition with daily practicalities without letting anxiety spin out of control. It is a powerful moment to release old emotional baggage, stop overthinking your feelings, and open yourself up to sudden, radical shifts in how you perceive your life. 


Sabian Symbols for the Ecllipse


The Sun  is at 4 degrees 54 Virgo with this  Sabian Symbol : A person becomes aware of Natures Spirits and Normally Unseen Spirits 
The Sun is also in a  conjunction with Mercury in Virgo @ 5 degrees
Here we are  speaking of  another level of awareness alll around  us . This other level of consciousness has been there all along. With the Uranian square there will be sudden awakenings to  the multitude of  unseen beings.   Our rational mind (Mercury in Virgo)  is many times, being overshadowed by intuitive thoughts and feelings. Your imagination  and spiritual consciousnes is  talking loudly to show a clearer path to understanding and knowledge.

The Moon @ 4 degrees  54 Pisces is  conjunct Fixed star Fomalhaut ♓︎ 4° 14' 40"
in the 12th house relating to the transcendence of personal will, sacrfice, spirituality and of course
institutions. Fomalhuat is a the Royal Star known as the Watcher of the South and connected to
the Archangel Gabriel. Fomalhuat is found in Piscis Austrinus (the Southern Fish). Imagination, psychic sensitivity, deep secrets to be revealed. The Southern Fish represents a single fish that is dipicted as drinking the water generously poured out  from the jar of the neighboring constellation, the  water bearer  Aquarius. 

The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is A Church Bazaar
Here we have a reference to exchanges of spiritual knowledge. Overcoming loneliness or alienation. Selling things. The issue
of values and worth. Donating our time, $ and possesions to benevolent causes. Dane Rudhyar digs deeper and calls this
The value of giving spiritual or transcendant sanction to even the most commonplace interchanges
between social persons and individual minds. Here we are going to see how seemingly trivial interactions'
can bring a potency of spiritual meaning.

Sun and Mercury in Cazimi Alignment
Even more significant is that the Sun  and Mercury in  Virgo are almost exact in this degree within 2 minutes of arc around 10:44 AM on August 27th.  In astrology this is known as a Cazimi. 
"cazimi” is a Latin transliteration of the Arabic term kaṣmīmī, which means “as if in the heart,” we astrologers refer to a planet cazimi (conjunction) as being “in the heart of the Sun.”
Here  is  some  music from Pink Floyd that  might get  you in the  mood. 

This Mercury cazimi  will augment  all communications on many levels, enhanced focus,  clear thought patterns, a time for planning  and  organizing.   Even though Mercury cazimis occur about six times a year, this one is special.  This phenomenon happens during both inferior conjunctions (when Mercury is retrograde) and superior conjunctions (when it is direct), alternating roughly every two month.

In Virgo this cazimi occurs  once or twice a  year  but  sometimes not at all. Don't waste  this time of incredible clarity since Mercury in Virgo is  exceptionally dignified being in domicile or "home") and the sign where Mercury is exalted (at its highest, most powerful expression).

This eclipse forms a powerful T-square. with Uranus and the Hyades Star Cluster,The Hyades form a prominent, scattered V-shaped cluster of stars located 151 light-years away in the constellation Taurus, representing the face of the bull. From a galactic perspective this combination will surely be  igniting incredible visionary potential and asking  us to use imagination that leaps  beyond logic.  The Hyadum Star Cluster  especially Hyadum I - Now at ♊︎ 6° 10' 54" is all about vitality and life force allows us to tap into our artistry expressed by our multi-dimensional  self. There is also an undercurrent of optimism when we fully embody  this life force of unlimited creativity.  We are now  at a juncture  to bring  our visions into form leading up  to  this eclipse.

As Galactic Astrologer  Ulrika Sullivan says  we are in a time of a : 
"Visionary Global Shift: Mars and Venus activate the Lyra constellation, asking us to embody our soul's vision through ritual, movement, and sound. This is a collective invitation to move energy through the body and anchor high-frequency creativity into daily life."
Both Mars in Cancer and Venus  in Libra are TSquare the Lyran stars like Lyra Althafar and Lyra Sheliak  These stars in Lyra are accentuating sound healing, higher frequency healing. 

Let's unpack the multi-layered meanings  of  the  Hyades  which are connected to the Pleiades.  


The  Rainy Ones/Hyades



 
There are many  sides  to the Hyades, besides increased life force.  When we look into  the  details of  the Greek Myth of the Hyades: In Greek myth, the Hyades (Greek Hyádes, literally “rainy ones”) were a group of water nymphs who controlled the rain. They were the daughters of the Titan Atlas (the eternal sky-bearer) and either the Oceanid nymph Pleione or another Oceanid, Aethra. As such, they were siblings of the famous Pleiades (the Seven Sisters) and also related to the Hesperides (nymphs of the western garden). Their brother or father was often said to be Hyas – a beautiful young hunter. In the classic story, Hyas met a tragic end (killed by either  a  lion or a boar during a hunt), and his sisters were overcome with grief. They wept so bitterly that the gods took pity on them: Zeus immortalized their sorrow by turning them into stars. According to the mythographers, the Hyades’ tears literally became rain whenever the stars rose.

Speaking of stroms currently tropical storm Moke is  bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, and a flash flood threat just a week after Hurricane Lala caused severe damage. No coastal hurricane watches or warnings are active, but a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for the Big Island. I am expecting the energies  of this Lunar Eclipse to unleash  some unseasonal storms in the forms of cyclones, hurricanes, flash floods like in Louisiana ect. in September and beyond. Even a  rare tornado struck in French villages like in Aude . 
Along with those storms we will  have continued dry, hotter  weather in diverse areas. 


Here is  the  full moon chart set for 9:18 PM PDT in Salem, Oregon 

The Jupiter-Saturn synodic cycle is roughly 19.85-year period between successive conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn, known as the Great Conjunction. During each unique 20-year cycle, Jupiter forms a trine (120-degree aspect) to Saturn 3 times (via a series of retrograde loops) as the faster-moving Jupiter sweeps past and interacts with the slower Saturn. The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn happened at 0 degrees 29 minutes  of Aquarius on the winter solstice of 2020.  
 This was  the  point where the 20-year conjunctions officially shifted out of earth signs and into air or fire signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius etc.) for a new 200-year era. 

The three trines involving Jupiter (expanision, optimism) with Saturn (limitation, contraction) 
working together to bring success. Since Saturn is  like the teenager who wants to show off his new found skills we need the heart-centered energies of Leo to keeps us moving in the right
direction. 
These trines happen here at these times : 
  • Trine One : August 31, 2026
  • Signs: Jupiter in Leo trine Saturn in Aries
  • Trine Two: April 3, 2027
    • Signs: Jupiter in Leo (Retrograde) trine Saturn in Aries.
  • Trine Three: July 11, 2027
    • Signs: Jupiter in Leo trine Saturn in Aries. 

The first trine occurs right after this  mystical eclipse and  marks a  time  when a  Grand  Fire Trine adds potency.  This grand  fire trine includes Jupiter direct in Leo @ 13 degrees applying to a trine with Saturn in Aries @ 13 degrees conjunct Salacia @ 13 Aries to the Great Attractor @ 14 Sagittarius  The Great Attractor is an amplification of the trine bringing universal visionary
energies'. and adding to the implicit timing of Salacia who is ready to take a risk when the
right moment and tempo arises .

During this eclipse Mars in the 4th house of land, houses, agriculture, farming, crops, weather issues opposes Lyra Alathfar, Quaoar and Pholus all in the 10th house of government. Mars in Cancer in the 4th house represents a highly charged, protective energy trying to defend its home, family, emotional safety, or foundational roots, lashing out out of fear or a need for self-preservation. This raw emotional energy slams directly into a powerful trio in Capricorn:
the fixed star Alathfar, which brings the fierce, sharp edge of predatory talons;
Pholus, the asteroid often times triggers small catalysts with massive, uncontrollable
domino effects; and Quaoar, a dwarf planet which represents how we can all bring spirit into mattter absolute,
unyielding natural laws and generational destiny. Quaoar invites us to use music, dance, daily practiec
A tiny, impulsive spark or private emotional grievance triggers an explosive, irreversible chain reaction that shatters long-standing corporate, legal, or societal foundations. You cannot use emotional manipulation or defensive posturing to fight against the cold, unyielding laws of reality and systemic evolution.


Mars at 11 Cancer is applying to a square with Saturn on September 1st.
Mars (action) in Cancer (emotional) ramping against Saturn (rules) in Aries (impulses) on September 1st
,This might feel frustrating and pressure filled event, it can be the type of challenge that molds us into more resillent beings.
The friction forces you to stop throwing emotional tantrums and instead channel your anger into laser-focused, productive strategy. This forced delay stops you from making a massive mistake and helps you build a solid, bulletproof plan. You learn exactly where your boundaries are weak. Overcoming this hurdle gives you the inner grit to handle much larger career or life challenges later. Use the tension to fix broken foundations at home, protect your energy, or work out physically. Don't try to force open doors that are locked. If you hit a wall, sit down and study the wall instead of banging your head against it.ThTTt

Magdalene Feast Day Joined by Isis/Osiris Sacred Marriage

 


"Isis and Osiris are the archetypes of the good, divine nature, combining the male and female principles into a single eternal harmony." Plutarch

Dearest friends, starseeds, light workers, soul travelers, seekers of a new consciousness....

Some days  are just more magical than others. They are  filled with  deep emotions yet surrounded  by  nature's power and magnificence.  July 22, 2026 was one of  those days.  My wife and I  were excited about  participating in a ceremony  to honor Mary Magadelne in the evening starting at 6:30 PM.  










Thundershowers were forecast  for that day starting at 7 PM PDT.  which would ruin the ritual gathering.  By the time the event was to start dark clouds raced across the sky quickly to show us  an angelic  prescence. 













It wasn't till around 8:30 PM  when the everyone had left the ceremony that severe thunderstorms fueled by moisture remnants from Baja dropped over 8,300 lightning strikes across Oregon.

The celebration of remembrance, beauty, peace, devotion and sacred offerings flowed easily under clouds of  magnificence. We all could feel the archangels around us during this joyful commemoration of  Mary and Yeshua.  Special Thanks to Jennifer Rothrock and Jerry Smith for making this special event happen. 

.
Here  is the chart created for this event set for 6:30 PM PDT in Salem, Oregon 





Let's look more deeply into the meaning and symbology present: 
This chart opens with Sagittarius on the ascendant at 25 degrees 11, a highly charged degree with this Sabian Symbol: A Flag-Bearer in Battle.

This image speaks of real battle to restore earth, a spiritual battle to collectively choose the light over the dark. The courage of convictions. Standing up for our ideals as a messenger or an advocate.
 The ascendent also sits in direct alignment with the Galactic Center and the star Etamin in the Draco constellation. 
Etamin is known as  the right eye of the Dragon and is about concentration and keen mental ability.
This Ascendant acts as a cosmic antenna, channeling raw, multi-dimensional spiritual truth directly into the physical world at the exact moment at the beginning of this  celebration. Positioned perfectly on this threshold is the dwarf planet Varda at 29 degrees Sagittarius, a celestial body holding the archetype of mastery over light. Varda brings an unshakable wave of optimism, hope, and inspiration, reminding us that darkness can never fully extinguish the light because she possesses the unique power to sanctify it as the "star kindler." 




This luminous first-house presence mirrors the historical and spiritual essence of Mary Magdalene herself—not misrepresented as fallen figure, but as the Apostola Apostolorum (Apostle to the Apostles) and the chief bearer of Christ's light. It tells of a collective awakening where the obscured truth of her sacred union with Yeshua. This relationship is a living embodiment of the Hieros Gamos, the sacred marriage that perfectly balances the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine to bring spiritual completion to humanity.

Jupiter, the chart’s ruler, is in Leo and found in the 8th house the domain of transformation, the shadow self, and spiritual alchemy. Spiritually, it represents the Phoenix archetype: dying to your old ego, surrendering to the unknown, and rising from the ashes of trauma or hardship to achieve profound soul evolution. Leo brings a feeling of overwhelming joy, the excitement of the  inner child at play and an overwhelming to create love and beauty in our  lives. 

As this radiant light pours through the Ascendant, it immediately encounters a dense, powerful grounding mechanism, where a cluster of potent archetypes resides in Capricorn. Here, dwarf planet Ixion representing our seeker consciousness at 7 degrees Capricorn and Pholus at 10 degrees Capricorn initiates a turning point, where small actions unleash generational, irreversible shifts in consciousness regarding how we treat the sacred. Right alongside them, dwarf planet Quaoar @ 11 degrees Capricorn. Quaoar comes from Tongva mythology as the creation God who sings and dances the universe into existence.  This is   the exact medicine needed for this transition, showing us that we bring spirit into matter not through rigid dogma, but by dancing, singing, and creating music. 

This cosmic dance is further deepened by another dwarf planet Mani, the Norse lunar deity, at 19 degrees Capricorn. Mani brings a  rhythmic, reflective wisdom of the soul's deeper emotional cycles. Mani forms a sharp, dynamic sesquiquadrate aspect to Uranus at 4 degrees Gemini in the fifth house of creative self-expression. This tense alignment sparks a sudden, revolutionary breakthrough, shattering old, restrictive paradigms of worship and replacing them with playful, Gemini-infused curiosity and innovative joy. It demands that we express our divinity creatively and unconventionally, using the artistic fifth-house energy to liberate the ancient secrets held tight by Capricorn.

These foundational awakenings anchor a beautiful axis of destiny across the main angles of the chart, balancing your public path and personal connections. The Midheaven at 22 degrees Libra calls for a public reclamation of harmony, justice, and the divine beauty of relationship, projecting the idealized balance of the sacred marriage out into the world. This public evolution is supported by the Descendant at 25 degrees Gemini, which invites open, fluid, and multifaceted communication in our partnerships, allowing us to speak the truths of the divine counterpart freely. Opposite the Midheaven, the Imum Coeli, the roots are at 22 degrees Aries to ground the chart in a fiery, independent baseline of spiritual courage. This Aries foundation provides the raw inner strength required to pioneer a new era of spiritual independence, ensuring that the light sanctified by Varda is fiercely protected and nurtured from the very roots of our being.



These incredible alignments deepened the portal of the Feast of Mary Magdalene, painting a picture of radical spiritual rebirth, the healing of ancient wounds, and a profound balancing of the sacred heart.
At the very core of this day's energy is an ingrees of  the Sun sitting at 0 degrees Leo in the seventh house, the realm of deep partnerships. This placement shines a brilliant, golden spotlight directly on the concept of sacred relationship, infusing it with warmth, loyalty, visibility, and sovereignty. The Sun forms a powerful trine to Alpha Centauri and the star Scheat in Pegasus, a flowing connection that bridges supreme spiritual wisdom with high-flying, visionary intellect. However, this radiant Sun is directly opposed by the star Aldafar at 0 degrees Aquarius and Aquilla (the eagles's perch.)  This tug-of-war demands that we balance Leo's desire for personal, heart-centered recognition with Aquarius's need for detached, objective truth, ensuring our relationships are built on authentic freedom rather than ego.

The theme of sacred partnership takes on an even more mystical tone in the fifth house of creativity, love, and joy, where the dwarf planet Sedna (relating to our soul’s path of destiny)  and the asteroid Yeshua (Jesus) sit in a tight conjunction at 2 degrees Gemini. This alignment is all about breakthroughs and a breathtaking validation of the Magdalene legacy. Sedna represents the ultimate evolutionary leap through deep, oceanic transition, while Yeshua carries the frequency of unconditional Christ-consciousness. Meeting in the house of love and creative expression, they echo the return of the Hieros Gamos—the sacred marriage. They show us that the path to the divine is walked through the joyful, twin-flame alchemy of the masculine and feminine, infusing our creative expressions with a timeless, unconditional love.

One of the most remarkable characteristics of this chart is found in the 8th house which relates to  intimacy, issues of power and trust in partnerships, ego-death and rebirth, sexual merging, shared assets/possessions.  In 8th there is  a stellium of Leo planets, points and asteroids. Jupiter expands everything @ 4 degrees, next  to the Vertex at 7 degrees.  Vertex is  a  mathematical placement  called  a destiny point," and it   highlights sudden turning points, fateful meetings, and life shifts. The Vertex is  conjunct the asteroid Stonhenge. Stonhenge symbolizes ancient alignments, sacred geometry, enduring structural legacy, or a connection to primordial earth-based spirituality. At 9 degrees Leo, Isis and Osiris are together joined by Varuna @ 10 Leo, the dwarf planet which invites our mastery consciousness and inner & outer sovereignty to arise.  Here we have the ultimate divine couple of Egyptian myth, their meeting represents a deep spiritual bond and the power to rebuild something from scratch. In Leo  this is a dramatic, proud, creative, and highly visible. It brings a sense of royalty, passion, and star-quality to the event.
The Sabian Symbol for this  degree: Early Morning Dew Salutes the Sunlight per Lynda Hill shows the relief, joy and motivation that can come from going through cold and difficult times, even dark struggles, and waking up to things being “sunnier”, warmer and full of promise.
 

 







In the higher realms of the chart, a massive wave of spiritual authority forms in the tenth house of public legacy and the eleventh house of community. Here, the asteroid Hyperborea resides. Hyperborea was a legendary earthly paradise located far to the north, literally meaning "beyond the North Wind". Described as a land of eternal spring, the inhabitants lived for centuries in perfect harmony, untouched by illness, war, or old age. 




 Also in the tenth and most public house  is  the dwarf planet Haumea, the higher octave of Neptune and Venus  adding regeneration on many levels. Aligning with Haumea is the fixed star Syrma as they  all cluster together between 2 and 4 degrees Scorpio. Syrma is a star historically tied to massive spiritual leaders like Moses and Mohammed, bringing a heavy sense of personal responsibility, spiritual purity, and deep integrity. Haumea, a fertility Goddess adds  the power of rebirth and wild, natural creation. Together, they demand that those stepping into spiritual leadership on this day do so with absolute humility and grace. This potent Scorpio cluster forms a fated, shifting quincunx aspect to Uranus in Gemini, indicating a sudden, electric realignment where humanity's public spiritual structures are forced to adapt to a higher, more progressive truth. 

Nurturing this public shift is the Moon at 18 degrees Scorpio in the eleventh house, bringing immense emotional depth to our global community, wishes, and friendships. The Moon forms a supportive sextile to Mani and the star Sheliak in the Lyra constellation, in the  first house. This harmonious link infuses the collective atmosphere with a poetic, musical, and artistic grace, allowing the deep emotional waters of Scorpio to find a beautiful, creative outlet through our physical presence.

Meanwhile, a deep karmic cleansing unfolds across the place of material resources and transformative axes of the chart. The North Node sits at 0 degrees Pisces in the second house, urging humanity to trust its spiritual intuition, flow, and divine abundance. This points directly across to the South Node and the Royal Star Regulus, the Watcher of the North connected to the Archangel Raphael. Regulus at 0 degrees Virgo in the eighth house, near the S. Node. This is  a placement that demands we let go of old, overly critical attachments to negative leadership roles, power, pride, and material control. The asteroid Magdalena sits  at 12 degrees Virgo, acting as a purifying force alongside Venus at 14 degrees Virgo  in the eighth house of deep alchemy and shared resources. Venus forms a tense square to Mars at 16 degrees Gemini and the asteroid Atlantis at 15 degrees Gemini in the sixth house of healing modalities. This friction acts as a divine catalyst, intentionally triggering and bringing to the surface ancient, buried memories of cataclysm, betrayal, or the suppression of sacred knowledge (symbolized by Atlantis). Because this tension lands in the house of physical healing, it provides a massive opportunity to use innovative, communicative healing modalities to clear generational trauma out of our physical bodies and relationships.

In the 4th house  of home, family, foundation we are  motivated by the dwarf planet Eris at 25 degrees Aries,  retrograde motion. Eris represents fierce grace, diversity consciousness, and the courage to speak out against systemic injustice. It turns out later in time that Eris has been front and center in throwing out the golden apple to fight the current plan to build a large Data Center in Salem. Eris is moving backward, her energy internalizes and deepens, sparking a profound soul-searching movement that advocates passionately for people on the margins of society, demanding they be brought back into the sacred circle.










The entire chart is anchored by a magnificent, rare geometric alignment known as a Basket Formation, which includes a minor grand trine and a powerful opposition. At the base of this architecture is a profound conjunction of the asteroid Juno and Pluto at 4 degrees Aquarius. This alliance completely overhauls our understanding of commitment, demanding that our contracts and partnerships be built on absolute empowerment and equality rather than control. This powerhouse duo forms a harmonious trine to Uranus at 4 degrees Gemini in the fifth house and a sextile to Neptune at 4 degrees Aries, creating a fluid circuit of revolutionary insight, spiritual idealism, and creative breakthrough. However, this Juno-Pluto alignment also directly opposes Jupiter at 4 degrees Leo. This final cosmic standoff acts as a grand finale, pitting the expansive, heart-centered, and celebratory joy of Leo against the deep, structural evolution of Aquarius. Mary Magdalene Feast Day was more than just a quiet celebration, but a monumental, joyful, and irreversible leap forward into an era of balanced, sacred, and collective enlightenment.

Total Solar Super Eclipse in Leo

 

Dearest friends, starseeds, light workers, seekers of a new consciousness and creators of a new earth....






“The greatest ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about.” – Wayne Dyer








 You probably know there is a  total Solar Eclipse on August 12th.  
The Moon's shadow will cover the entire disk the Sun giving us a  super total solar eclipse.  This eclipse will only be visible by people in Europe, Canada, Greenland and parts of Africa and Asia with a small contingent in the North Eastern United States. Viewers in North America will see a modest partial eclipse, with the biggest eclipse seen from northern and eastern Canada, Alaska and the northeastern U.S. The farther northeast you are, the deeper the eclipse will appear.  

Totality and the  Sub-Solar Point 
Local totality times vary by region, starting in Greenland at 4:35 p.m. local time, moving to Iceland near 5:48 p.m., and finishing across Spain between 8:26 p.m. and 8:33 p.m. local time.  As an astrologer my  particular focus is when the new moon occurs. There ia another  element to  this eclipse that is usually not  discussed, it  is  called the sub-solar point. The sub-solar point is the exact spot on Earth where the Sun is directly overhead (at a 90-degree angle). During the August 12 total solar eclipse, this point is located in the Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Africa.  If you stood at the sub-solar point at the peak of the eclipse, the Sun would be a perfect bullseye directly above your head, and you would cast absolutely no shadow. This sub-solar point  is over the Caribbean and South America. It is be active within 3 days of the solar eclipse and remain activated until the lunar eclipse of August 27/28.

Earthquakes and Fires 
Eclipses are often related to natural disasters but can influence geopolitics and the financial markets. We Look for markets making important reversals over the next few days. As we approach the eclipse date, news just broke of a 7.4 magnitude earthquake (3.2 mi) E of San José del Palmar, Colombia. A Google Gemini summary noted that, “Spain is currently facing severe natural calamities driven by historic heatwaves, extreme drought, and destructive wildfires across multiple regions.”  Prayers to all who are suffering during these times of great change. 
 
August 12th  The energies accelerated  toward the  Solar Eclipse/New  Moon @ 20  degrees  2 Leo  near the South Node @ 29 Leo where  Royal Star Regulus Stands Guard 

The Sabian Symbol  for  21 Leo = Intoxicated Chickens Dizzly  Flap Their Wings Trying to Fly 
The image tells  of an attempt to do too much or too soon or before maturing enough to be capable of completion. Yet trying  to do things that are outside one’s natural sphere can be a good thing, as long as you don’t overreach and cause damage. Dane  Rudhyar calls this degree = The often negative and at times ludicrous first experience  with spiritual teachings. 
Many people are awake and remembering who they really are drunk with the  desire for freedom  Some of  them will   emulate swooping eagles, they require constant movement, change, and elevation. They feel suffocated by routine or stagnant environments and will abruptly exit jobs or relationships if they feel their personal growth slowing down. 


A place of letting go of the past especially toxic leadership. Regulus near the South Node indicates that  narcissistic, service to  self rulers, monarchs, emperors are onthe way out. 

This is the first solar eclipse in Leo since the 2017-18 period on the North Node and Mars was in Leo.  This eclipse is a counterpoint and Jupiter is in Leo expanding theme of leaders, celebrities and prominent figures having to give way to the North Node  in the sign of the collective moving to our future destiny with  Aquarius.  


 Venus and the Solar Eclipse Chart over  Salem, Or  
Libra  will be  rising  @  9 degrees conjunct the  Part of Fortune. In Libra the POF brings happiness via harmonious relationshiips even compromise. There is  strong desire for beauty and balance, and always strive for fairness and justice.
Ruler  of  this chart is Venus all about values and Venus is in an electric trine to Uranus in Gemini  in the 8th house. This can be highly stimulating alignment helping in relationships/intimacy of all kinds.Uranus brings us flashes of intuition. Regarding the 8th house where issues involving taxes  other people’s resources/money, loans/investments, issues of power and trust in partnerships, ego-death and rebirth.  

Venus  is  also quincunx the dwarf planet Gonggong. Plus Gonggong, the Chinese  Water God and the empathetic wizard @ 6 degrees  Pisces is Square Uranus. Alan Clay, the world's foremost expert on dwarf planets says: "Gonggong is a planet of the ocean depths — compassionate, sensitive, and profoundly empathic at his most evolved. In Pisces, which is itself the sign of the deep waters, his invitation to us is to lift ourselves above our personal emotional weather and participate in the marketplace of life from a place of genuine feeling for those around us, rather than just our own needs and reactions" Uranus the ruler of  the Dragon's Head of future destiny, Aquarius  always  means  radical awakening, innovative thinking, sudden flashes of intuition.    This  square  is a place of pressure and opportunity alike. This 90 degree angle will  last for  an extended period, a time when we are invited to upgrade and electrify our empathy abd be more responsive, more authenti . and attuned in a heart centered way to others and  our community  


Gonggong pictured below 




 The Ascendant in this chart is  also near dwarf planet Makemake (the higher octave of Uranus and Mercury)  emphasizing the need  to be ultra-commuicative, understand the backstory of what is happening around us. To careful of being judgmental in this understanding because rigid attitudes leave no room for the experimentation and play with others and our soul family 
  
 The fixed  star Diadem (Alpha Comae Berenices) rising on the Ascendant reflects a time of self-sacrifice, profound loyalty, personal surrender, and devotion to a higher cause.  
Mars just make an ingress into Cancer and is still  away from  Midheaven @ 11 degrees Cancer .
 Salem  represents  towns  across the  USA fighting to prevent a takeover by the elite via items like Data Centers.  Consider that Mars just entered the sign of the  home, mother, nurturing the earth. 
Mars in Cancer is in the  9th house which speaks to our  higher mind, philosphy, search for truth, our  personal code of ethics, pursuit of wisdom.  In Cancer Mars is  stimulaitng  our  active rememberance of past lives, our own Akashic records, connections with all our ancestors, channeling which will be spoken of  in public  and no  longer hidden.  With this transit  of Mars in Cancer till  September 27th not only  will there  be a boon  for home remodeling but also for  spiritual mediumship. 


 Note that this  is  the last solar eclipse in Leo till 2036. We have 10 years to get things right. 

Here is the Leo New Moon Chart set for Salem, Oregon 




Unpacking the Chart for the Leo New Moon: 


On the  IC sits Lyra/Alathfar @ 11 Capricorn. This is  gateway system in Lyra, Alathfar carries the energy of the majestic, eagle-like Avian light beings as well as the heart-centered Urmah (feline) hybrid races. These beings are said communicate through the "tonal frequencies" of the heart and utilize advanced sound healing 

At the Mid-Heaven of the chart above is  @ 11 degrees Cancer ahead of Mars in protective, sensitive and  slightly defensive Cancer.  In the 10th house, Mercury, Jupiter, Hygeia (asteroid relating to health), Varuna, the  dwarf planet  close to all knowing, all powerful entity that exists silently behind everything. or quite simply "mastery consciousness".  Varuna is pictured below  where he holds the noose (pasha) to bind wrongdoers and enforce cosmic law, a water pot (kamandalu) or vessel symbolizing life and sustenance, a conch (shankha) representing oceanic wealth, and a lotus signifying purity and creation.   In Vedic tradition, Lord Varuna having "a thousand eyes" (Sahasrachaksha) symbolizes his omniscience, omnipresence, and role as the ultimate moral judge.   Varuna is the guardian of Rita—the fundamental natural and moral order of the cosmos. His thousand eyes ensure that the laws of nature (like the flow of rivers or the cycle of the sun) remain uninterrupted 


















Asteroid Annubis @ 12 Leo follows to  round out  the 10th and most public house 
Annubis in Egypt was the Jackal -Headed God (Egyptians turned them into a protective deity to guard graves.)    He offered afterlife protection, and was involved in the judgment of souls upon death. Annubis then guides the deceased to a giant scale in the Hall of Two Truths. Anubis  then weighs the deceased's heart directly against Ma'at’s sacred ostrich feather. In this test: a heart heavy with sin fails the test and is eaten by the monster Ammit.  A heart balanced with Ma'at's feather allows the soul to enter the beautiful field of reeds

Moving into the 11th house  in this chart into the  domicle  of the community the veritable pantheon of Egyptian deities we find Isis and Osiris at 17 and 19 degrees of Leo near the lights of the Sun and the Moon @ 20 degrees, followed by the S. Node (Dragon's Tail) predicting the shift  from the shift from heavy handed rulers, governancce, self-apporinted monarchs. Rounding out the 11th house is Horus @ 11 degrees  Virgo. 
Horus symbolizes kingship, divine protection, healing, and the sky, serving as the ultimate emblem of royal power and the triumph of order over chaos

In conclusion we examine that  light which is  hidden by this eclipse by  moving on to the 12th house. In this chart the 12th house relates to  all types of  instituions from prisons to  hospitals.
It also speaks of our  imagination, the ability to transcend personal will, intuition, escapism, faith, the  need for acceptance,  a time of release and  taking on the mantle of  spirituality. 

In the 12th we find dwarf planet Orcus (@ 17 Virgo), the  "straight-talking brother" of Pluto whose uncompromising integrity makeso him  the  ultimate whistle-blower exposing  hidden truths, corruption and hypocrisy in all those areas of the 12th house of  self undoing and the unconscious.  Mary Magdalene is in Virgo @ 19 degrees. On July 22nd when the Sun entered Leo to translate the  light of Jupiter  and there was beautiful ceremony in Salem at Bush.
Much Gratitude to Reverend's Jennifer Rothrock, Jerry Smith organizing, conducting and bringing divine love to that special event dedicated to Mary Magdalene and our group soul. 






 






By bringing Orcus and Magdalene together in Virgo, there is an opportunity for deep  meticulous healing, service, and discernment.  Asteroid Magdalene infuses the energy of true devotion, often misunderstood spiritual wisdom and the reclamation of the divine feminine.  Suffice to say this eclipse will activate us on a personal and collective level as darkness is brought to light  for the next six months. 
The highly potent frequencies represented by this Super Solar Eclipse in Leo will  converge with the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on August 27th. 
The  real remedy  is  to connect with your heart's delight and stay grounded and realize that 
EVERY PERSON COUNTS NOW.
