Lunar & Planetary Energetics – August 2014

The moon and its position within our celestial sky holds a powerful frequency that affects our day to day beingness here on Earth. The moons electro-magnetic frequency as it waxes and wanes each month effects our physiology, our emotional/mental responses and spiritual potential.

The energy from the New Moon up to the Full Moon is gradually building in strength and intensity; thus the New Moon is a great time to set your intentions, write down goals or begin new projects for the forthcoming cycle. Consider sitting in ceremony or personal meditation and affirming to the Universe your intentions & inner-most heartfelt desires for the cycle.

From Full Moon to the New Moon the energy is gradually decreasing in strength and intensity… thus is a time to release and let go of any areas in your life that no longer serve your higher purpose. The Full Moon is a perfect time to connect in ceremony (personal or group), light a candle and release/transmute through sacred ritual that which no longer serves.

All times are Queensland Australian Eastern Standard Time unless otherwise indicated. Nearest capital city is Brisbane in the State of Queensland, Australia.

FULL MOON – 11 August 2014

Monday, 11 August 2014, 4:09 am
Moon in AQUARIUS, Sun in LEO
Moon – past, Intuition, unconscious, emotions, nurturing, feelings
Sun – now, Identity, consciousness, self-esteem, expression
Aquarius (Air) – Humanitarian, determined, individualistic, rebellious, independant
Leo (Fire) – Leader, affectionate, generous, outgoing, stubborn, authoritative

What a great energy this will be to get out of your stuff ‘woe is me’, ‘life is so hard’ etc.. and take the focus off yourself and really look at the bigger picture of creation.

You have the power to use your thoughts, words, energy, actions to creating enduring and peaceful change on this planet… this is time to take ownership and responsibility of what the word SERVICE really means.

Leo brings in leadership, inspiration and a firey ‘go-gettem’ attitude whilst Aquarius offers energy in innovation, the bigger picture of humanity and the expression of ‘how may I serve’. What a sacred gift is this Full Moon to be inspired to see beyond your perceived limitations and embrace a higher vision through Soul Purpose.

Super Full Moon:
This full moon is also the fourth ‘SuperMoon’ for the year. Please see my article on SuperMoons – what they are and their energetic effects.

Moon & Sun in VIRGO
Moon – past, Intuition, unconscious, emotions, nurturing, feelings

The Virgo new moon is a great time to get out and roll up the sleeves and get down to business.

Plant the seeds on this new moon… it is time to move forward with your dreams, and the Virgo energy will give you the practical means to do this.

Planetary Energetics – August 2014

Not only does the moon have an effect on our day-to-day lives, but so do the position of the planets in our solar system.

Having knowledge of planetary movements helps us understand our physical/emotional/mental states of being… so we can consciously work with planetary energy pro-actively.

Here is a brief overview of some key planetary movements at the present time…

Mercury in Leo – 1 August 2014 to 15 August 2014: Mercury (the planet of communication) moves into Leo ( leader, affectionate, generous, outgoing, stubborn, authoritative ) on the 1 Aug. Your communications are authoritative and come with strength of opinion or belief. Be careful not to be a ‘know it all’ and do take a breath to consider all sides of a situation.

Mercury in Virgo – 16 August 2014 to 2 September 2014: Mercury (the planet of communication) moves into Virgo (organised, practical, diligent, cautious, sensible, exacting) on the 16 Aug. Good to get all of the details under-control and tick off that to-do list. But don’t ‘sweat the small stuff’ and get too weighed down in the small things that you end us losing sight of the bigger picture.

Venus in Cancer – 19 July 2014 to 12 August 2014: Venus ( beauty, love, harmony ) moved into Cancer (nurturing, family, sensitive, emotional, moody, psychic) on the 19 July. May feel a bit sentimental at this time.. great to hug your love ones or physically/emotional open up and express your love.

Venus in Leo – 13 August 2014 to 5 September 2014: Venus ( beauty, love, harmony ) moves into Leo ( leader, affectionate, generous, outgoing, stubborn, authoritative) on the 13 Aug. Gregarious PDA (public displays of affection) are now everyone’s cup of tea, but when Venus moves into LEO watch out as you may just be on show !

Mars in Scorpio – 27 July 2014 to 13 Sept 2014: Mars (action, energy & drive) moves into Scorpio (Passionate, emotional, willpower, psychic, determined ) on the 27 July. What a formidable duo… think 7 weeks of powerful and passionate drive to believe that you can achieve anything and ‘stop at nothing’ energy until this belief is tested as truth. You may also find your libido raising to new heights during this transit 🙂

Jupiter in Leo – 17 July 2014 to 11 August 2015: Jupiter (abundance, luck & expansion) moves into Leo ( Leader, affectionate, generous, outgoing, stubborn, authoritative ) on the 17 July 2014. Think delicious expansion and a drive to travel and awaken your life/world/soul to new potentials or horizons. Jupiter transits Leo every 12 years or so… think about where you were in 2002/2003 when Jupiter last transited ? As we come full circle, what ever you planted at that time in your life in 2002/2003 will bloom and take on a whole new meaning.

Saturn in Scorpio – 5 October 2012 to 23 December 2014: Saturn (life lessons, wisdom, karma, responsibility) transits through Scorpio (Passionate, emotional, willpower, psychic, determined) until the 23 December 2014. Over this time you maybe guided to look deep within, to really confront your deapest fears and anxieties and move beyond your limiting beliefs. It is an opportunity to bring what is ‘unconscious’ ‘conscious’, and to move beyond your self-imposed restrictions to find the freedom your heart and soul craves. Saturn will leave no stone unturned and there is no cutting corners and implementing a ‘quick fix’. This is GET REAL time for sure, a time of service to your higher self.

Uranus in Aries – 27 May 2010 to 15 May 2018: Uranus (rebellion, freedom, unconventional, technological advancement, humanitarianism) moved into Aries (Leader, impatient, risk taker) in May 2010. It will be in Aries for 8 years, briefly entering Taurus in May 2018, then it will retrograde back into Aries on 6 Nov 2018 until 6 March 2019. The last time Uranus was in Aries was 84 years ago !

This period heralds a time of finding your own two feet, your independence and finding freedom to be YOU. This is a time to move beyond the boundaries of the BOX and own your I AM and not be drawn or defined by the memes of society. As Einstein said ‘you can’t solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created it’… thus this is a time to think / feel / be expanded consciousness to solve the problems of today. Expect the unexpected during this time… and live your life as a direct expression of spirit unique to you… and allow your rawness to empower others to do the same.

Neptune in Pisces – 4 April 2011 to 15 May 2018: Neptune (Illusion, deception, creativity) moved into Pisces (Sensitive, psychic, dreamy, creative, charitable) in April 2011. The last time Neptune entered Pisces was in 1848, three years after it was discovered in 1845.

Neptune in Pisces in it’s fullest potential is an awakening to the DIVINE from within. It fosters a movement beyond materialism / consumerism and the foundations of religious dogma. Neptune in Pisces fosters spiritual transformation. This energy provides a potential for humanity to expand beyond perceived limitations through dedicated spiritual practice and to find AUTHENTIC TRUTH. Allow your IMAGINATION to SEE beyond the illusion and awaken to living with Spirit through heart-n-soul.

Neptune Retrograde – 10 June 2014 to 6 Nov 2014: Neptune (Illusion, deception, creativity) moves retrograde (appearance of moving backwards in our sky) this month on the 10 June 2014. t is retrograding through Pisces (Sensitive, psychic, dreamy, creative, charitable) until Nov 2014.

Neptune is often referred to as the ‘higher octave’ cousin of Venus. Thus our values for love, beauty and passions become more ‘universal’ through Neptune. Neptune is the planet of the mysterious, the illusionary and beyond the confines of the program. It calls us to gain insights from higher states of conscious/awareness/dream state. In it’s polarity, Neptune can also represent the hypnotic trance like state of delusion.

When Neptune is retrograde, people tend to focus more on their dreams, intuition and all creative pursuits. If you are usually in a ‘dream state’ you may find that you work with retro energy to bring this dream into physical form. If you deny the dream state, then retro may induce escapism and the taking of mind-altering substances to block the dream or movie from playing out.

During Neptune retro, turn into the inner-self and be receptive to the truth. The illusion is exposed and reality is factual. This is a great time to foster the inner-creative and bring it into physical form.

Pluto in Capricorn – 26 Jan 2008 to 23 March 2023: Pluto (transformation & empowerment) moved into Capricorn (Practical, realist, reliable, hard worker) in Jan 2008. Pluto was in Sagittarius prior to moving into Capricorn, where it had been transiting since 1995. Pluto was last in Capricorn Nov 1762 until Dec 1778.

Heralding transformation, Pluto in Capricorn is about death and rebirth or endings and beginnings. It is a time of breaking down all old outdated structures… structures that embody power & control such as governments, corporations & religion. This dismantling then creates opportunities to rebuild solid foundations from the ground up and inside-out… structures that support communities, humanity and the sustainable life of this planet.

Pluto Retrograde – 15 April 2014 to 23 Sept 2014: Pluto (transformation & empowerment) moved retrograde (appearance of moving backwards in our sky) in mid April 2014. It is retrograding through Capricorn (Practical, realist, reliable, hard worker).

When pluto is retrograde, it’s innate energy appears even more pronounced within our lives. The need to moved beyond all old beliefs, rigid structures and imprinted attitudes seems to take front seat. It is time for a big purge or inner-cleanse of all that ‘inner-stuff’ ready to make way for the new ‘outer experience’ when Pluto moves direct.

Chiron in Pisces – 20 April 2010 to 23 April 2023: Chiron (wounded healer) moved into Pisces (Sensitive, psychic, dreamy, creative, charitable) in April 2010. Chiron was only discovered in 1977 (though there are pre-discovery photos dating back to 1895). It takes 52 years for Chiron to transit out sun.

Chiron is the wounded healer, be it our wounds that are physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. As Chiron transits Pisces it opens a potential to ‘heal our wounds’ beyond just structure & the physical, to a more conscious state of healing of the body, mind & spirit . Thus this 13 year transit provides a real opportunity to ‘heal’ areas of your life and facilitate deep transformation. It is an opportunity to repattern the hologram, or transcend deep cellular or DNA imprints and attune to higher states of consciousness. Victimhood will become a thing of the past (if you so choose), and forgiveness along with all things mystical and unseen heals.

Chiron Retrograde – 21 June 2014 to 23 Nov 2014: Chiron (wounded healer) retrograde in Pisces (Sensitive, psychic, dreamy, creative, charitable) on the 21 June 2014. This period will offer a deep introspective time of inner gazing into the deepest recesses of self and acknowledge of that which has remained hidden for too long. It maybe a gift/talent that you have proclaimed as a divine expression of your ‘I AM’ presence, or it maybe a deep pain/hurt that you buried long ago. During the retrograde it is time to own these parts of self, heal and learn from them for your Soul’s Evolution.
