Greetings dear ones,

As you are well aware by now, things are changing at a rapid rate. People around you may be acting in unpredictable ways: dying their hair orange, running off to Italy, quitting their secure jobs, adopting children or abandoning their own; starting businesses and otherwise doing things they have always wanted to do but never had the courage to do. Perhaps you are doing the same!

Sometimes this behavior stems from deep and recent loss. There’s the sense that there’s nothing left to lose, so why not? For others, personal change comes not from loss but from gain. There’s a sense of receiving a gift, a wonderful second chance to make life full and meaningful. Whatever it is for you, know that by the end of August the energy will change and you might be left with your new pink hair and wondering what on earth got into you. So… here’s a little tip. By all means
do something different. Get away, write a short story, play a song or voice your poem at your local open mike, or seduce the person of your dreams. Let whatever you do be either short term – some release of pressure you can live with long after the act is done; or be the beginning steps of some long term project you’re totally happy with and want to manifest.


All this
vibrancy and change is coming from four celestial bodies, two of which you’ve read a great deal about in this column. The planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. Both Jupiter, the planet of abundance, and Uranus the planet of change and innovation, are in fiery Aries for the first time in 12 and 84 years respectively.


Let’s try a visual here: imagine a T junction where three roads connect. At this T junction four vehicles are waiting to go forward. Two are together (Jupiter and Uranus) directly opposite one (Saturn), while the most powerful and slowest vehicle of all (Pluto) is on the other road. Let’s call it a cosmic traffic jam. Luckily nothing collides thanks to the vastness of space, but the pressure exerted by this positioning is enormous. It is amazing we all chose to be players in the midst of this cosmic traffic jam, and wonder what each of us brings to the crossroads. So what can you do about all this? As a wise Aquarian friend says:
“Slow down, tune in, and pay attention.” Advice, by the way, others have echoed. Can you do it? I’m trying.


At the risk of being redundant I shall repeat some of the information I’ve shared with you before to remind you of the magnitude of these times.


Evidence of these planets together is found in earth changes such as volcanoes, earthquakes, wind storms; new technologies; widespread use of solar and nuclear power along with innovative energy products; major breakthroughs in the use of the internet including sabotage and crime; more militancy in fundamental groups; increased military action and boldness; increased lawlessness and a powerful sense of individualization; contact with extraterrestrials; and a general sense of revolution, evolution and change.


Uranus’ last stay in Aries was between 1927 and 1935. The years both preceding and following this innovative, radical energy were fraught with change, new invention and radical doctrine including the widespread use of television and radio, Roosevelt’s New Deal and Hitler’s rise to power. Uranus leaves Aries in August retrograding back into Pisces until March 2011.


Jupiter was last in Aries in 1999. Think back to what that time meant for you. Jupiter will be in Aries until early September of this year only and will spend all of 2011 in the first sign of the zodiac. Coupled with bold Uranus, Jupiter in Aries encourages you to think and act for yourself… to boldly go where you have never gone before. It’s a laissez faire quality or a devil may care approach to life where you want to do what you want to do and be damned the rest! There’s a new billboard up in our valley. It reads: “Say No to Commitment”. That’s these times in a nutshell.


You are an individual and this energy will be unique to you. Find the early degrees of Aries in your chart so you can see what areas of your life will receive this
powerful cutting of the umbilical cord. Jupiter will move back into Pisces September 8th cooling fiery urges until re-emerging in the sign of new birth (Aries) in late January 2011.


And there’s more! Powerful Pluto gets in on the cosmic act marking August as a critical month. Pluto squares Jupiter August 3rd and again next February 25th. Pluto and Jupiter already entered into this dance when they first connected with each other this past July 24th. This is astrobabble for
“big transformation”. You can see that the strong, individualistic Aries energy is triggered by Pluto’s urge to evolve. You’ll notice this personally as you become stronger, more capable and more ready to set boundaries. In some cases, your tolerance for long-term difficult situations or people will run out, in others you’ll disengage – things just won’t matter that much anymore and you’ll feel freer, more empowered to do what feels best to you. The cardinal axis (cardinal points of the tropical zodiac) of what I like to call the world chart, is being activated and on an international level world governments shift political power positions. A perfect example is the USA and South Korea putting on a military exercise in full view of North Korea. This is a big (Jupiter) military (Aries) display of power (Pluto).


Pluto also governs
secrets and all matters hidden. The recent expose’ of military secrets on Wikileaks (even the presence of Wikileaks itself) is classic Pluto. Pluto digs up and reveals what is hidden. More secrets about government and corporate dealings will be exposed over time.


Another view on Pluto, and an important one, is that Pluto
regenerates whatever it touches. Much as younger 500 year-old redwoods grow against the giant stumps of their slaughtered 2000 year-old kin in Northern California forests, so too can new growth emerge from the mistakes and greed of the past. Capricorn is an earth sign and is related to the management and use of natural resources. I hold great hope that over the next several years our conscious awareness of how to manage, and more carefully cherish our natural resources, will grow.

 


Redwoods reemerging


Pluto in Capricorn also corresponds to hidden treasures in the form of antiques. Old farming or medical equipment, business documents, old contracts and mineral rights are just a few of the objects that have value. There is wealth in them thar' basements and attics! Pluto brings hidden treasures up from the depths and Capricorn is all about history. Don't be surprised if you find some interesting secrets in your family closets as well as a lot of trash. Yea, what to do about that trash? Another Pluto question that will likely be raised over the next few years. The rule of thumb remains - reduce, renew, recycle.

 

Further in the cosmic news, big boy Saturn who is associated with rules, regulations, government and myriad other things, also squares Pluto from his new position in Libra. This further stresses the cardinal axis creating incredible tension. There is pressure to rebalance inequities and to take personal responsibility for our carelessness, waste and indulgence. Tony Hayward, once CEO of BP who “wants his life back,” is a case in point. Hayward’s disregard of nature and his nonchalant role in the whole dirty, greedy, dangerous affair put everyone at risk. This is the kind of behavior these planetary moves are designed to expose. But then he was also seen on the sea, yachting, reconnecting perhaps with the ocean? Now an American has his position and we are taking care of our land. With Virgo and Libra energy present, on the heels of the Cancer/Capricorn eclipses, this is no surprise. Order, cooperation, home and structure.   


Meanwhile, Jupiter and Uranus face off against Saturn.
Whew! So Saturn is saying – “be committed and do the right thing, keep the rules.” And Uranus is saying – “are you nuts! The rules are broken and don’t make sense. I’m outta’ here! ” Is it any wonder that you feel a little torn at times!
This column will look more fully at these cosmic moves. It also provides a two month astrological report you can use for both your personal and your business planning. Subscribers are welcome to call for a
free mini reading on Friday August 13th to look at these vibrant times with their chart. If you’re not a subscriber become one now. http://astrologybydulce.com/signup.htm


This report also covers important celestial events like the
upcoming communicator-Mercury retrograde period which brings back events and/or people from the past; and indicates caution with big purchases and all deals, contracts and travel plans. Active Mars presses against the stone wall that is Saturn putting plans on hold as you develop and refine them. You’ll find what these times mean for you in the sunscope section. In a nutshell, the planets in our solar system are placed in angles of tension with one another, creating ripples for us here on Earth. You will learn what this looks like and how to make the best use of what could be tense times.


As always, I want to thank the wonderful astrological tools out there that make this column possible: The American Ephemeris by Michelsen and Pottenger, Solar Fire, The Mountain Astrologer magazine, and Georgia Stathis’ Starcycles Calendar. I especially want to thank my friend and fellow astrologer Cassandra Leoncini whose chats and insights have been invaluable. Big thanks also to my writing buddy Marla for her keen eyes; and to the Aquarian, Taurus, Leo; and very most recently - Libra folk, who shared their wisdom so wonderfully.


August


The month opens on the heels of summer’s eclipse. Both the eclipse on June 26th and the one on July 11th have far reaching consequences. We won’t see the final results of these cosmic openings until September and October. I have even seen eclipses activate a full year later.
Subscribers are welcome to call for a FREE mini session with me to see what the two eclipses of this summer mean to you. Please call Friday August 13th any time between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM mountain time. Please, before you call, read the cosmic weather so you are informed of the conditions of this time. If you’re not a subscriber please become one now… http://astrologybydulce.com/signup.htm

 

The June 26th eclipse occurred at a Full Moon in Capricorn and brought up issues related to home, economics, food and basic shelter. It is very important that you have some way of storing food and water. I do not want to be an alarmist and I so hope I’m wrong, but the long warned of issues associated with global warming are here. With a little bit of planning and canning you can provide a little padding for yourself and your family. The extreme weather we’re experiencing is likely to take its toll on food production and you need to make sure you have supplies on hand.

Having plenty of water stored is an excellent idea also. Wounded Chiron is in watery Pisces as the month opens
focusing attention on all water, especially on the oil slick disaster in the Gulf. And now the Kalamazoo River in Michigan is full of spilled oil. Chiron will reenter the last degrees of Aquarius before the month is out shifting our focus back to human crises. But, Chiron will re-enter Pisces early next year redirecting our attention back to the oceans and how vital they are to life here on earth.

 


RUTH LAKE


The month of August begins with the confident
fiery energy of Leo. Until August 22nd Leo’s energy invites you to bring out your inner kid to play. Life can be so serious and Leo understands the importance of play. You don’t have to turn into a party animal but you can at least try! For all the playfulness, August is a busy month and Leo reminds you to enjoy yourself.


The sign of the lion is much misunderstood. Leo is the sign of courage, loyalty and creativity – traits much needed on planet Earth. There are two kinds of lions – the noisy big cats and the quiet kitties. It’s often amusing to note that the smaller in stature the Leo person is the noisier he or she tends to be! There is always something striking about a Leo’s head. Leo rules the hair and your Leo might have a full striking mane or no hair at all. Leo also rules the lower back and many a Leo has struggled with lower back pain, oftentimes for no known reason.


Remember, Leo is ruled by the Sun and the Earth retreats from the Sun every night as we rotate around it so Leos aren’t always “on”. They need to turn down their lamps on a regular basis and retreat. Their retreat usually leads to a grand entrance sometime later when they emerge with renewed zest. They typically have tremendous reserves of energy and can keep up the pace long after the more mutable types like Gemini and Pisces have fallen by the wayside. You’ll find Leos in education, center stage in theaters and in art galleries; or quietly radiating their incredible light in doctors’ offices or other humble places where their gift of warmth lends hope to others who are suffering.


You’ve all heard stories about, or probably even met,
“terrible” Leos; those Leos whose huge insecurities make them loud and demanding. Thankfully these poor folk are far and few between and are Leo’s shadow. Leo is ruled by the Sun and as such requires respect and homage. Most Leos know this comes from their own personal integrity while the loud Leos demand it without personal effort. If you have a Leo in your life, then consider yourself lucky. These warm, generous, loyal folk will love you forever and put up with your nonsense if you will just appreciate them.


Back to the cosmic news for August and September: there’s
a lot of Libra energy over this period of time also. Libra is interested in balance and harmony. It can also have a hard time making decisions and often times situations involves more than one person, emphasizing relationship and consideration of others throughout this period of time. Read more about Libra further in the column.


In August, the first week is not easy. You could press yourself against a brick wall trying to exert your will, bursting free in impulsive moves you might regret, or you can trust the wisdom of nature and just let things be.


Here’s a play by play:


August 1st the moon is in fiery Aries encouraging activity but when the waning moon enters Taurus on the 2nd you are invited to slow down. Despite the prevalent fire energy, earth energy centers you in practical tasks as the month opens. It’s a good time to organize and clean up. Communicator Mercury is in critical Virgo helping you
clear out clutter and care for your bank books and pets. It’s not a good time to begin anything. The energy feels slow and ponderous. Some might like this slower pace while others are frustrated. Active Mars is squashed against stern Saturn and square powerful Pluto - you may want to do your own thing, but you can’t. Someone or something is blocking your way preventing your progress.


August 3rd Jupiter squares Pluto – it could be time to
change your belief system. Is what you think really true and does it help you? It could be time to address your underlying core beliefs and purge those which no longer serve you. Watch for political debate and public or personal tirades at this time.

 

POST ADDED AUGUST 5, 2010 According to NASA, a solar flare left the earth August 1st and connected with our electromagnetic field August 3rd. This could feel disruptive or discombobulating. Alternating periods of rest with physical activity can help you mentally and physically recalibrate.


Late on August 6th lovely Venus enters her home sign of gracious Libra at the same time Mars squeaks away from his prison like a small boy running away from a bossy older sibling. The
energy lifts and paths clear. You can move freely again.


August 7th and 8th Venus, who rules all matters related to love, the heart and finances, opposes Uranus and Jupiter and conjuncts Saturn. What a
topsy-turvy time for romance and business this is! Watch out for over-spending. Relationships begin one day and end the next, while markets are up and down just as quickly. Don’t try and press relationship issues now… let this energy pass, which it will within a few days.


August 9th is an interesting day with a lot of stuff going on, least of which is a
New Moon at 17°24´ Leo. This is a super moon, meaning it is both syzygy and perigee (conjunct the Sun and close to earth) so it exerts greater gravitational pull than usual on earth’s beautiful body.


This Leo New Moon is
a wonderful time to begin creative projects. It also encourages a creative, loyal, courageous approach with whatever you do. It’s time to improve your quality of leadership and to offer your gifts to the people in your life. See if you can find the open hearted Leo generosity in you. It is much needed and will pay you back richly over time.


At this New Moon, which is a beginning as all New Moons are, beautiful Venus ..
