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 are in Eclipse Season!
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.
It's Eclipse season! Buckle up, it's a massive one! Mercury is in Leo, on the Eclipse axis, and is extremely active all week long. Mars enters Cancer early Tuesday morning; Mars, like Venus, is beginning to slow down, preparing for the Mars Rx early next year! Thankfully, Venus is in her home sign for a prolonged stay, due to her incoming retrograde in October, but she's bringing in some sweetness and justice.
The Eclipse is a South Node Eclipse, co-present with Jupiter, so this is a massive course correction; this is a spiritual realignment. The South Node can remind us of who we used to be, for better and worse. Maybe we need to go back and practice some discipline or self-worth that we had in the past to benefit us in the present and future! I see this time as a return of the King/Queen; as in King Arthur vibes- not King Charles! Let it be a time of return to your sovereign self. Honor yourself as royalty and treat your body as such.
We can expect massive news stories coming to light this week! Loads of information are flying around, as Mercury reactivates (ish) the Basket aspect we had in mid-July.
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.

Saturday:
We will continue to see the Eclipse energy playing out over the next month, with Eclipse events happening all around us! Remain seated with your seatbelt fastened, lol. Pay close attention to what takes place over the next three days; it is telling of what's to come in our lives.
We had the Mercury-Jupiter conjunction early this morning. This conjunction signifies MASSIVE news and information coming out. This is Eclipse news that is course-correcting us. News on leaders, bosses, or those in the spotlight is a guarantee! Both planets like being in Leo and are answering to the Sun, at home in Leo. Things have been quiet since the Eclipse, but we find out what the Eclipse has in store for us now.
We start the day with the never-ending void of course Moon from Thursday afternoon! The Moon remains void until mid-morning today, when the Moon enters Libra! The Libra Moon is making a mixed bag of aspects throughout the day today.
We are building up to some tense aspects from Mars in Cancer late Sunday night and early Monday morning! Mars is in its fall in Cancer, so he's significantly debilitated right now. Mars had a hard inconjunction to Pluto on Sunday night and a confusing square to Neptune early Monday morning! Mars is feeling sensitive, drained, angry, and frustrated. He can also take to self-undoing actions, so guard your temple!
Mercury in Leo conjuncts Jupiter in Leo at 7:23 am; drama, gossip, news, and information are erupting to the surface. Loads of news and information are coming to light now. Mercury and Jupiter are not the best of friends. Jupiter is the Greater Benefic, the spiritual leader, the guru; Mercury is the trickster and loves to prank Jupiter! Making a mockery of Jupiter's self-importance. There's a certain tension when these planets meet. Mercury is the only god who can move between all three realms: the earthly realm, the heavenly realm, and the underworld. Mercury is bringing information to light that has previously been hidden. This is Eclipse news!
The Moon enters Libra at 10:20 am; the Moon in Libra is cooperative, partnership-oriented, social, appreciative of beauty, fair, balancing, indecisive, and indolent.
The Moon in Libra is answering to Venus, at home in Libra!
This gives us major support!
Moon in Libra inconjuncts Chiron Rx in Taurus at 11:46 am; ouch! This aspect is tender, sensitive, and points out where we need some self-care. Are we overindulging or overspending? This is a great time for a self-check-in. Venus is at home and is the ruler of both signs, so she's giving some much-needed support.
Moon in Libra squares Mars in Cancer at 3:37 pm; Mars is moving through some very challenging territory! Home, family, and relationship drama can spike now. We may need to address or take action on something.
Moon in Libra trines Pluto Rx in Aquarius at 5:13 pm; this is a beautiful transformative Air trine. Pluto is forcing us to think deeply, and the Libra Moon is helping us sort the information.
Moon in Libra opposes Neptune Rx in Aries at 5:33 pm; this aspect asks us to protect our energy. The Neptunian fog is setting in, and we are not thinking clearly. We are more sensitive to alcohol, drugs, and medications now. These things weaken our aura and allow unsavory energy closer to us or even infiltrate us! Knowledge is key: if you need to be on medications that knock you out of your body, avoid going out in public. Rest and heal at home.
Moon in Libra trines Uranus in Gemini at 8:04 pm; another beautiful Air trine! This aspect signifies energetic upgrades, downloads, and important information coming to light. This is a beautiful time for relationships and friendships. Have fun and enjoy!
Sunday:
The Moon continues through Libra today. We are in the Crescent Moon phase now. The Moon is growing in light. We are starting to see what the Eclipses have planned for us if it hasn't been revealed yet. The Moon is making happy aspects this morning, but has a come-to-Jesus moment with Saturn around midday. This is when we tend to responsibilities for the week ahead.
Late tonight, we have Mars inconjunct Pluto. This is a blindsiding, attack aspect. Psychic attacks are rampant during this time; please protect your energy! Violent attacks are also more common now. Watch your back tonight!
We also have the Mars-Neptune square building, so alcohol/drug induced accidents, violence, or attacks are more likely now. This is a domestic violence aspect. Protect your loved ones and home.
Moon in Libra conjuncts Venus in Libra at 3:11 am; the Moon and Venus meet in a loving embrace. Venus is strong and powerful now. This conjunction supports restful, healing sleep, love, and romance.
Moon in Libra sextiles Jupiter in Leo at 5:03 am; this is a psychic aspect. Our dreams and intuition are on overdrive! We are feeling inspired and uplifted this morning.
Moon in Libra sextile Mercury in Leo at 8:20 am; pay attention to what you hear this morning. Important news and information are coming to light. Enjoy conversations with loved ones and some quality time.
Moon in Libra opposes Saturn Rx in Aries at 12:27 pm; it's time to focus on our chores and to-do lists for the week ahead. Tend to responsibilities. This is also an ideal time to practice emotional discipline and maturity. We could feel limited or restricted; work within your means.
Mars in Cancer inconjuncts Pluto Rx in Aquarius at 11:15 pm; here we go! We need to create a sacred, protected sleep space before going to bed tonight. Unsavory energies are lurking! We are in the Hungry Ghost Month, so the need for energetic protection is high! This is a nightmare aspect; pay attention to your dreams. Deep subconscious fears and emotions are erupting to the surface. Ask your Guardian Angels to watch over you, your loved ones, and your home. Make sure that you feel safe. This is a domestic violence aspect.
We can expect some funky energy tonight.
Mars in Cancer squares Neptune Rx in Aries at 5:52 am 8/17; ugh. This aspect is rough. Our sleep and dreams are deeply disturbing tonight. It can feel like infiltration energy. Pray for protection. This aspect can signify illnesses, stomach issues, and deep emotional distress. We are not seeing things clearly now. This aspect can signify lies, illusion, delusion, deception, scams, and wolves in sheep's clothing. Please protect yourself. The energy is strange as we start the week. This aspect is great for sports, exercise, and spiritual warrior work/battles.
The Moon is void of course all day on Monday. The vibes are just off...
Strive to remain grounded and centered; it will not be easy!

Blue Heron- Self-Reflection
Heron medicine is the power of knowing the self by discovering its gifts and facing its challenges.
Heron is urging you to dive into the watery world of feelings to seek your truth. Heron teaches you to develop your self-reflective skills so you can come to know yourself intimately.
Heron asks that you examine yourself with a cold eye to see what you wish to improve and how you want to change. If you get stuck in the process, ot may be a sign that you are being too hard or critical. Choosing to blame others and constantly pointing the finger at life's situations, instead of claiming responsibility for your actions, shows you lack the courage to face the enemy within.
Be willing to look at yourself and see the truths of your motives, actions, feelings, dreams, goals, inner strengths, and inner weaknesses. In balancing those truths, Heron's medicine shows you how to meet the challenges of your personal weakness and how to continue developing the skills that lead to inner strength and certainty of purpose.
The magnificence of your human spirit lies waiting for the joy of discovery, if you are courageous enough to follow the Waterbird throughout the journey. Heron reminds you that every traveler on life's journey is a messenger, and that every destination is the beginning of a new cycle on the Medicine Wheel.

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.
