  • This week will be filled with action initiated by spontaneous sparks and rushes of activity. There is an opportunity to base actions on carefully trained wisdom to trigger a shift into a positive direction. The temptation is to rebound into past behaviors that produce unsuccessful results. During this time you may fulfill your expectations spontaneously but reflect and evaluate without judgment by engaging in objective observation that facilitates growth.
    We can expect the unexpected this weekend when there is an interruption of actions associated by an extraordinary opposition of Mars and Uranus on Sunday. The opposition takes place along the zodiac belt with Mars at 13° 37' Virgo and Uranus in the opposite sign at 13° 37' Pisces, which is half of the picture. They also aligned in another direction called a declination-the position above or below the celestial equator. It might be easier to imagine the boundaries found at 23° north at the Tropic of Cancer or the opposite point at 23° south at the Tropic of Capricorn. In the case of this super opposition between Mars and Uranus, one planet is found at Mars at 7° north by declination and Uranus is equidistant from the equator at 7° south by declination. This combination of planets is extremely powerful, creating the most exact opposition possible. We experience this combination of a contra parallel coupled with an opposition during a lunar eclipse. In that case, it is during a Full Moon (the Moon opposite the Sun) that takes place close to the Moon's nodes, aligning the luminaries so that the earth sits exactly between the pair. This weekend Mars and Uranus oppose each other with the earth at the center of all this action. “Astro-logically” speaking this duo is fiery and aggressive at one end (Mars) and abrupt, erratic and truth-provoking at the other. In the center, here on Earth, we have the awareness and intellect to make choices. As keepers of the planet the inhabitants have the right to demand the perpetrators of unacceptable behavior to cease and desist.
    With a call to halt harmful activities we can see that an opening or awakening is available through a porthole of this special alignment to pour prayer and visions of peace and harmony to envelop the Earth.
    Mars in the sign of service (Virgo) and Uranus in the sign of sacrifice (Pisces) offer clues to the intervention for a greater good.
    The recent foiled terrorist plan is an example of the practical application of such an interception. We too can take part this weekend in a call to intervene for peace through prayer and visualization.

    More positive effects of this aspect can see highly innovative discoveries in technology and medicine with the potential for remarkable breakthroughs - not just with medicine and technology but with music and labors of love that can accomplish the removal of waste and repair the ancient wreckage of karmic debt.

    We have been experiencing the tension between this pair for weeks. The battles in the Middle East have us all in fear of WWIII. This configuration could be the breaking point or the cure for current events. In our neighborhoods there are accidents and fires with a weeklong of sirens interrupting the silence. High blood pressure is prominent, as well as infections and fevers. There is no need to worry about an illness waiting in ambush as the problems that require interception or treatment become obvious. The eclipse-like formation between Mars and Uranus invites interference to halt unacceptable action. Another way to look at it is like a shake-up that stuns and stops ordinary routine. There is no better time to pray for peace than now. With the peaceful souls working in tandem to shower the earth with beautiful lights of peace and harmony, we can raise the earth's vibration during this time when the aspects are so dynamic.

    Continuing to connect the astrological dots we can follow the trail of numbers to this week's Last Quarter Moon at the 23rd degree of Taurus that reactivates the Mars retrograde period from October 1, 2005. We may notice a renewal of Mars' creative desires suppressed during a time when talent was dismissed for labor, forcing to turn inward a basic need to express. We now have an opportunity to retrieve and release what has been burdened under the dust of life and expose the intrinsic value in ones self - like unearthing a beautiful diamond.

    Moon Signs & Daily Summaries
    Please read my
    article on Refranations as they are an important astrological event marker.

    New Weekly Feature
    For ease of reading the details of each day, when available or appropriate, follow the daily summary.


    A Day Rating is not intended to describe the feeling of the day or how you will experience that day but offers clues about the end results to your activities if you chose to take a specific action during that Moon sign period.

    A Moon sign period begins when the Moon enters a new sign and remains in effect until it leaves that sign. A Difficult Day can bring unwanted complications for the end result of your objectives. By choosing a Good Day and before the void of course Moon period, you increase you chances for a smoother and more favorable outcome. The day is rated by the last aspect from the Moon to a planet before it leaves the sign. That last aspect begins the void of course Moon period. Your activities are considered to be under the umbrella of the Moon sign that changes every couple of days. Days with the same Moon sign often carry the same day rating for the couple days the Moon occupies that sign.

    There some very important exceptions:
  • When a planet changes signs, the day rating can change.
  • When a planet changes direction, the day rating can change.

  •  
    These instances are referred to as a refranation, indicating that you are to expect someone to leave before you complete your objectives or the situation totally changes due to new and unseen developments or reversals.

    General Notes On Aries MoonsAries
    Moon in Pisces is void of course at 3:17 a.m., changing to Aries at 4:22 a.m. With the Moon in Aries today and tomorrow's Mars and Uranus event the energy is wild, unpredictable and excitable through Tuesday. Venus is at the last degree of Cancer creating a desire to spend extra money on family and food. You may find that your plans change drastically after 4:20 p.m. when Venus changes signs. Something you choose or purchase may need to change or be retuned. Matters surrounding relationships are potentially volatile and lead to a new perspective regarding friends and partners. Be very gentle with friendships and partners.

    General Notes On Aries MoonsAries
    Moon in Aries is void of course at 8:14 p.m. It's a fiery and noisy day with the potential for explosive events. Caution is advised while traveling. You may want to stay close to home and travel only if necessary. People are excitable and easily enraged. On the good side you can expect a burst of energy to take on large tasks. Relationship activity may be volatile but could be very sexual. Friendship should be handled with care. Channel your energy through service to others. Envision a sudden and unexpected ceasefire. If high blood pressure is an issue, then monitor it.

    Some Good Results with Reservations. The day begins with a void of course Moon in Aries until it enters Taurus at 6:00 a.m. Residual fallout may remain from the Mars and Uranus aspects on Sunday. After the Moon enters Taurus the focus is placed on tradition and money matters in a big way. Be well-prepared and use your talents of persuasion to request that you move to the head of the line. As you busily tend to the details or your day, a benevolent individual who is supported by a top figure, authorizes your request for a one-time only application. However, there are complications involving challenges from more pressing matters that may disrupt your goals. Timing is everything. Don't be too hard on yourself if you miss out. Good luck. People planning on traveling may experience slow or rescheduling in the evening.

    General Notes On Taurus MoonsTaurus
    This is a high-action day requiring a need to tend to old business involving money matters. This is a good day to schedule payment plans and expect some much needed money to come in. Large funding endeavors may develop today. The morning hours are the toughest with a slow drag. Many things are hidden or unclear and need to be exposed to come clean of hidden problems. This is a nine-month process so patient at this stage. Valuable facets from older projects can be used to seed future ventures. Cut any waste and ditch what has not produced over the past couple of years.

    eneral Notes On Gemini MoonsGemini
    A Void of course Moon in Taurus changes to Gemini at 10:07 a.m. There is a lazy start to the day. The scattered energy develops with a need to talk and connect. This is a good day to gather information and zip about for errands. The evening holds intense thoughts with a non- productive, obsessed focus. Let go and try to relax as things work out with tomorrow morning's positive aspect.
    Mercury sesqui-square (135°) Pluto Aug 16 at 8:47 p.m. - 09° Leo 10' and 24° Sagittarius 10' R

    Green, the color of Thursday  Thursday, August 17, 2006
    General Notes On Gemini MoonsGemini
    With the Moon in Gemini today is a busy communication day that involves talking with people that symbolize the gate keepers. There may be a green light for major lending endeavors. Also there could be a strong forward signal for projects that involve transformation of surfaces, such as tunnel work or replacement of water mains.
    Sun trine (120°) Pluto Aug 17 at 1:01 a.m. - 24° Leo 10' and 24 ° Sagittarius 10' R
    Mars semi sextile (30°) Saturn at 7:36 a.m.

    eneral Notes On Cancer MoonsCancer
    A Good day until 8:30 a.m., then during the void of course period today complications could arise, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5:03 p.m. Use discrimination when repeating stories today. Many of the facts are false or out of context. Also beware of the big mouth influence that lets the cat out of the bag. In some cases this can foil a well thought-out plan. Perhaps it is best that some plan are not completed. Travel is too tricky today. After 5:03 p.m. the focus switches to plans that take place at the end of this month involving family members. Sorting through confusion and weaknesses slows the process. Plan for a quiet evening ahead that is best spent with close friends and family.
    Mercury square (90°) Jupiter Aug 18 at 5:25 a.m. - 11° Leo 36' and 11° Scorpio 36'
