You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

We're between Eclipses!
Eclipses signify times of fated/destined changes or events in our lives and the world around us! They are like supercharged New/Full Moons, said to be 10 times more powerful than a normal lunation. They are times when our most steady lights, the Sun and Moon, go dark. Eclipses were seen as negative omens by ancient people and astrologers. It is advised to avoid charging your crystals/tools under the light of the Eclispes. It is also advised to avoid intention setting and manifestation rituals during Eclispes. We do not want to charge sacred items or do intention setting/manifestations because Eclispes open portals of energy, and we NEVER know what's coming through portals. We want to be vigilant of whatever comes in, however. Eclispes are times to pray, fast, and lie low while the energy is whirling around us. Eclispes are like energetic Cat 5 hurricanes; it's not advised to venture out into these storms to explore. Whatever we pull in if we are manifesting/charging will have the energy of Eclispes imprinted. Eclispes are chaotic times; why invite more chaos than necessary?!
Powerful beginnings and endings often take place around Eclipses. Trust that whatever is coming in or leaving our lives is fated. Destiny is in the driver's seat in our lives, and Eclipses are known to course-correct us if we've gotten on the wrong path or are stuck. It may not feel like it, but whatever is happening IS for our Highest Good. We may need some time and space from the events to see the Higher Purpose in the Eclipse events.
We are likely to hear more about pregnancies, births, engagements, wedding announcements, as well as deaths, relationships ending, or job losses during this time. This first Eclipse in Leo is a Solar Eclipse (always a New Moon); it's a South Node Eclipse, so significant, powerful endings, wrapped in new beginnings, are coming in. Something is being taken away and replaced with something else. This is a spiritual course correction, because Jupiter is also in Leo.
The Nodes of Fate are in Leo-Aquarius now! This is a massive vibe shift! We can expect fated/destined events to unfold. The South Node will enter Leo, co-present with Jupiter in Leo. The North Node will enter Aquarius, co-present with Pluto in Aquarius! This will be an intensely powerful 18-month transit. Having the Nodes of Fate co-present with these powerful planets means massive changes in our lives and the world around us!
The South Node in Leo, co-present with Jupiter in Leo, has a contradictory energy. Leo is the King/Queen, the star of the show. The South Node drains, empties, and removes. Jupiter is bringing spiritual course corrections to the Leos, highlighting and amplifying true King/Queen power and energy. The "false idols" are falling away. I see this transit as the return of the King. As in true kingly energy, leaders are here to serve in the position of leadership. I see this as King Author vibes. Maybe we need to go back to what works.
The North Node is in Aquarius, co-present with Pluto in Aquarius. We will see an acceleration of breaking down old orders to prepare us for the future and to welcome in the new era/world. The North Node calls us uncomfortably toward our future desires and destiny. We are being asked to lean in.
This is a significant vibe shift in our collective lessons and where our attention is focusing. Look to the Leo-Aquarius part of your charts to see where the Eclispes next month are taking place! The Nodes are in Fixed signs, so deep, powerful transformations, endings, and beginnings are taking shape. The last time that the Nodes were in these signs was in 12/2007- 8/2009, when the North and South Nodes were in the same signs as now. We had the Nodal reversal from 5/2017-11/2018, when the North Node was in Leo and the South Node in Aquarius. Look back to this time for themes of what's in store for us! It's never exactly the same, but similar themes are active.
Hungry Ghost Month!
If you're out partying, please be careful and thoughtful of your state. Avoid excess alcohol and drugs. Protect your energy. The energy/psychic vampires are out in droves! In Chinese Astrology, we are in the Hungry Ghost month. It started yesterday and lasts until 9/10. This is a time when the gates of the underworld open and spirits are allowed to roam freely. Yikes! It is advised to avoid going out late at night; if possible, avoid alcohol/drugs; wear protective amulets; avoid covering your head; avoid swimming at sunset. In China, plates of food are set out at crossroads; incense is burned so that the souls may "eat" and be satisfied. It is a time for prayer, protection, and regular energy clearing and cleansing.

Today:
We are building up to the final Pisces Lunar Eclipse for this Eclipse cycle early Friday morning! This signifies a massive closeout in the Pisces-Virgo axis of our charts!

Strive to keep your emotions in check this week; we are in the intense build-up before Eclispes! Things are likely to get messy this week!
Remember, the Divine is in the driver's seat!
We wake up to an all-day-long void Moon! This makes for a wonky day today!

The Moon goes void of course with this aspect, and remains void for the rest of the day! It's a wonky, sleepy Monday! The Moon doesn't enter the next sign until early Tuesday morning!
Void Moons are great for catching up on work we've been avoiding, working behind the scenes, cleaning, and organizing. It's also great for resting, healing, or vegging out.
Void Moons are NOT good for launching businesses or projects, scheduling important appointments, or grocery shopping. Avoid picking fights, having arguments, or confrontations under void Moons! Things tend to escalate quickly and get ugly fast!
The Moon is offline, and so is our emotional intelligence!

Mercury in Leo conjuncts the South Node in Leo at 5:03 a.m. on 8/25; Mercury dives into the South Node. This is an ideal time to mentally unload, release ways of thinking and speaking that no longer serve us, or donate unused items to Goodwill. We could be contemplating the past. The past is the past for a reason; release it, pray for all involved to align with the Highest Good!
Moon in Aquarius squares Chiron Rx in Taurus at 6:20 am 8/25; we are feeling drained, depleted, or exhausted this morning. We have work to do, but we'd rather veg out. The Aquarius Moon will help us focus and get moving.

Eagle- Spirit
Eagle medicine is the power of the Great Spirit, the connection to the Divine.
Eagle is reminding you to take heart and gather your courage, for the Universe is presenting you with an opportunity to soar above the mundane levels of your life. The power of recognizing this opportunity may come in the form of a spiritual test. In being astute, you may recognize the places within your soul, personality, emotions, or psyche that need bolstering or refinement. By looking at the overall tapestry, Eagle teaches you to broaden your sense of self beyond the horizon of what is presently visible.
You are being put on notice to reconnect with the element of air. Air is of the mental plane, and in this instance, the Higher Mind. Wisdom comes in many strange and curious forms and is always related to the creative force of the Great Spirit.
If you have been walking in the shadows of former realities, Eagle brings illumination. Eagle teaches you to look higher and to touch Grandfather Sun with your heart, to love the shadow as well as the light. See the beauty in both, and you will take flight like the Eagle.
Eagle medicine is the gift we give ourselves to remind us of the freedom of the skies. Eagle asks you to give yourself permission to legalize freedom and to follow the joy your heart desires.
Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
