Second "Ayahuasca Awakenings" Presentation This Wednesday!
Benjamin will do his final "Ayahuasca Awakenings" presentation at Crystal Visions this Wednesday, Aug. 15 at 7 pm. Admission is by love offering.
The interactive event will focus on the intense month-long shamanic immersion he underwent this spring in Peru. His focus will be on the spiritual awakenings that the plant spirit teacher Ayahuasca and master shaman Don Diego facilitated for him during his time in the jungle.
The first 90 minutes will be lecture and Q&A. The final half hour will have Benjamin transmitting spiritual energy to the audience and leading them in guided invocations. |

Celestial Forecast: August 13-19
 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 here.
8/12, 5:50 pm - 8/13, 4:29 am (Cancer)
8/15, 4:22 am - 2:06 pm (Leo)
8/17, 1:56 pm - 8:35 pm (Virgo)
8/18, 7:27 pm - 8/20, 12:47 am (Libra)
8/15 (Wed). Today's Venus-Pluto opposition is part of the T-square that started on 8/8. Unto itself, this aspect, while often challenging, represents a powerful opportunity to bring meaningful transformation into your relationships (especially family), creative expression and finance.
Astrological doomsayers might claim that the conjunction in Libra of the two classic malefics - Mars and Saturn - is bad news for relationships. But these two planets can be the very essence of endurance: the energy of Mars, combined with the wisdom and patience of Saturn, can create a powerful "Energizer Bunny" effect. While Mars can bring anger, it can also light the sexual fires. Saturn can be cold and calculating, but can also embody maturity and responsibility. Every astrological energy has a low side and a high side; the degree of your own personal evolution will always color how you experience it!
8/16 (Thu). Venus does double duty today, trining Chiron and squaring Uranus. Under the Uranus square, the more you follow your intuitive flashes in the areas of relationship, finance and creativity - even if a paradigm shift is called for -- the less you'll have to endure unexpected craziness and chaos! And healing in all of these areas can flow smoothly and easily, thanks to the Chiron trine.
8/17 (Fri). There are three aspects today, all involving the Leonine Sun. Its quintile to Jupiter boosts vitality and creative expression. The sextile to Saturn offers stability and productivity. And the New Moon deserves a section to itself!
