summer’s fixed full supermoon

nasaharvestmoonAugust 10th will give us an Aquarius Full SuperMoon.  For the last 2 weeks, strength has been building and now it is time for taking stock of how far we’ve come.

Full Moons highlight the axis between the Sun and Moon.  They allow you to observe more clearly what is usually hidden by metaphorical darkness.  These cyclical oppositions can be viewed as a bridge between the conscious (Sun) to the subconscious (Moon).  This monthly event points to the culmination of intentions made roughly 2 weeks prior on the New Moon.  It is a heightened time of possibility, where seeds planted are blooming into beautiful flowers.  We can reap what we have sown.

fire upon fire upon fire . . .

The middle of this week sees the heavens giving a grand-Fire-trine, with the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries.

Arthur-Rackham-Illustration-037Trines are easy flowing energy and a grand-trine is a locked-in loop.   Fire in astrology is characterized by creativity, gut instincts, passion, courage and spontaneity.

Therefore, wherever this falls in your chart, expect a happy day or two of enthusiastic mojo.  The Sun shines in one house, Moon feels in another, while Uranus is quietly (ha!) sending out lightning bolts from a third house to the two luminaries.

For example: this grand-trine flows in my 3rd, 7th and 11th Houses—

The transiting Leo Sun is radiating through my 11th House, highlighting my current hopes and plans for the future.  Plug in transiting philosophical Sadge Moon from my 3rd H and increased mental activity centered around the future is completely probable. From the 7th House, Aries Uranus is fueling radical independent ideas about dealing with the public (7th H).  Remember, Uranus is retrograde, so the ideas will be more introspective than typical.

I see this as a continuation of the transits I have recently had to my 10th House of career, that led me to start this blog.  Scheming about ways to make future business great with a little forethought and ingenuity.

Transits of the Moon do not last long, so use this while you can.  Fire flares and dies, so this influence is doubly fleeting.

Had any bright ideas lately?  Let me know in the comments.

august 2nd, 2014 . . .thinking BIG

Next Saturday, Jupiter, planet of expansion and the higher-self teams up with Mercury, planet of the mind and communication in Leo, sign of royalty and the spotlight—time to think BIG, baby.

With action oriented Mars in determined Scorpio zinging this pair the conversations, ideas and schemes produced this day will have a deeply philosophical flair for the dramatic.

Satisfying the Leo in us all.

Where’s it about to get chatty in your world?
