Celestial Forecast for August 3-9, 2009
by Benjamin Bernstein
Whatever your sun sign, this forecast will help you choose how to best use the current astrological energies! Events are most powerful on the dates listed. However, their influence will be active for at least several days before and after. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone.
While everyone is affected by these global transits, you will be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate natal planets and other sensitive points in your birth chart.
VOID-OF-COURSE MOONS. It's best to avoid starting important new projects or making major purchases during these times. "Business as usual" is the best strategy for these periods, which occur when the Moon has made its last major Ptolemaic aspect but has not yet moved into the next sign. Learn more about working with void-of-course Moons here.
8/4, 9:22a -
5:08p (Aquarius)
8/6, 8:20p -
8/7, 5:35a (Pisces)
8/9, 8:45a -
4:24p (Aries)
8/3 (Mon).
Probing
analysis and speaking your deepest truth are supported as Mercury trines
Pluto.
8/5 (Wed).
Our third eclipse in five weeks occurs today at 8:54 pm (14° Aquarius). For the
next six months, this
LUNAR ECLIPSE
(sort of a
FULL MOON
on steroids!) asks us to consider how "full-filled" we are with our uniqueness,
special qualities and humanitarian service. Are you embracing Aquarian paradigm
shifts that will propel you forward in exciting new directions? Are you truly
being yourself, or still toeing someone else's line?
The Full Moon's aspects deepen its meaning. Mars' trine adds drive and
excitement, while its placement in Gemini adds to the mental stimulation already
present because of the Aquarian Moon. The Moon's loose conjunction to Jupiter
adds a sense of hope and optimism. Creative inspiration is also strong, since
the Moon forms the tip of a
GOLDEN YOD
formed by Venus (creativity) and Saturn (crystallization).
Technical paragraph (feel free to skip this if you wish!): A Golden Yod
is formed by two biquintiles (144°) and a quintile (72°), aspects which divide
the circle by five and which represent divinely inspired creativity, genius and
enhanced divine connection. (Mozart's natal chart, for example, has four
quintiles and 10 biquintiles!) In this Golden Yod, Venus and Saturn form a
quintile, and each of them also biquintiles the Full Moon.
This Full Moon's
Sabian Symbol
is "A Train Entering a Tunnel." Often, a tunnel's exit is not visible
upon entry, and one must have faith that there is a way out at the other end! In
the same way, embracing Aquarian paradigm shift can jar us out of our comfort
zone and send us in unexpected new directions - trains we haven't yet ridden, as
well as unfamiliar tunnels. A train can carry a lot of people, blessing you with
the company of fellow travelers. So follow your intuitive flashes and gather
your allies as we all explore new and more harmonious ways of being in this
rapidly changing world!
8/7 (Fri).
The Venus-Saturn quintile which formed the base of the Full Moon Golden
Yod is exact today, carrying forward the energy of creative manifestation. Not
only can you get started on creative projects today, you can fine-tune them,
thanks to today's sextile of Venus and Virgoan Mercury. Both these
aspects also support relationship harmony.
