July 19,
2007
with Joseph-Mark Cohen
Prelude:
The New Moon of
July 14th initiated a month long suite of vibrational
re-calibrations that will have us dancing ecstatic beneath
the full canopy of summer stars. Then we sleep until the
solar oven or sudden squalls wake us in the morning. Yes,
it is festival time in the Kootenays. The fire-the-grid
gatherings on July 17th aligned a Moon/Venus
conjunction with the Sphinx degree of the zodiac. We
are on a rare treasure hunt this month, a foray into the
realm of psychic archeology, a scuba dive to the soul's
underworld, a portal crossing to our personal Hall of
Records. The full moon of July 29th in Aquarius
is the perfect time for a summer vision quest. Venus
will be retrograde for all of August giving us all a chance
to review what is of true value in our lives... the beauty
that touches us at the
core....
Portals: August
features a fixed star activation with Mars transiting the
Pleiades on Aug.6th, then squaring Venus/Regulus on
the 9th. This 3 day portal is like a lover's
quarrel. The resolution of this jousting of personal
agendas occurs on Aug. 12th, the New Moon. Should you look
up to the stars that night, you will be able to catch the
Perseid meteor showers. The weekend of the 17th though the
19th is the anniversary (the 20th) of Harmonic Convergence
1987. We suggest you attune to your favourite sacred site
within a day's drive of wherever you may be at the time.
Get out your crystal walkie-talkie to the stars, bathe in
the local creek, purify your auric field with cedar &
sage. Should you be in the environ of Lake Kootenay,
you might want to give your Zodiac Oracle a call to
hear what is happening at the Crystal Dome
Retreat. The Sun enters Virgo on the 23rd & the
eclipsed full moon on the 28th could reveal a surprise or
two... Saturn, the keeper of karmic timings, is about to
bid goodbye to Leo by month's end. Time to take your
heart's dream into your own
hands.
Zodiacal Oracles for
August
Aries: You
are enjoying life again the way a surfer in Hawaii
enjoys waves of exhilaration. Early August you
have the benefit of a glorious Sun/Jupiter trine to polish
the mirror of your adventurous storyboard. The glitch in
your grand design may involve your taking someone or
something for granted. A failure of gratitude. A blind spot
in your mirror.
Beware!
Taurus: On the
7th of August, the planet Mars will leave your sign. You
have been working above & beyond the call of your
passion for re-arranging home & garden, self &
soul, into a gallery for friends & admirers who may (or
may not) drop by. On Aug. 23rd Mars will oppose Jupiter in
Sagittarius. Your star omens suggest that this is the day
you could unveil that secret project to family, friends
& clients with gold shekels in their
pockets..
Gemini: You have
been riding quite a streak at the gambling table these past
few weeks. You have much to be proud of in the realm of
both pure being & that which you have manifested in the
world at large. However, you are about to come upon a
crossroads & as much as you would like it, you
will not be able to be in two places at the same
time.
August 13th is
your day for meditation this
month...
Cancer: Life sometimes appears
to be a necklace laced with births & deaths, deaths &
entrances, unspoken desires & heartfelt disappointments.
What the channel who created the Secret failed to convey
has something to do with the nature of Co-Creation &
collective karma. Yes, I know that you prefer to keep
that word at arm's length, but banishing or transforming the
remnants of former creations is your task this
month...
Leo: Here is my suggestion as to how you might
celebrate on the 17th of August. First, get out your
photo album of all the special places on earth you have
experienced mystical or magical moments. Choose 16 of them.
Arrange these into 4 medicine wheels. Then put your
favourite photo of yourself in the centre of the wheel
& meditate on where to be on August 17th to create the
song of the Earth Spirit...This should feel very
familiar!
Virgo: You have called in the fertile seeds of
financial abundance. You have opened your heart to a new kind
of loving that keeps your desire for perfection in the
vestibule or the mud room. You have called upon the great
goddess & she is answering you in more ways than you
could possibly imagine. You are planting seeds for an
extraordinary fall harvest in October. You task this month:
transform every gram of grumbling-mind into
heart-gratitude!..
Libra: You are
what we could call the consummate balance fanatic. This
means you take great delight in getting as many plates
spinning like galaxies on sticks in the air as you possibly
can. Keeping them spinning at just the right speed is
your biggest challenge. And if one should fall, it has to
fall at just the right moment so that it makes percussive
music, allowing you to spin up a new one to replace it.
Your oracle this month: hire an apprentice,
already!!...
Scorpio: It is never too late to
offer an apology to someone whom you have taken advantage of,
is it not? You often have the best of
intentions, yet your not so subtle way of going about things
gives those who watch closely the idea that you have a major
blind spot & run the risk of being blindsided. Your
oracle suggests that you just call in your own buddha nature,
gaze into the mirror of your soul & create a whole new
set of rules to live
by....
Sagittarius: The good news this month has
to do with a surprise opportunity to travel to a destination
that has long been calling out to you. The challenge you face
is this: who can I possibly bring with me on this journey?You
may not know it now, but Spirit has a plan for you &
there are souls out there just waiting for your plane to
land. So you had better gather as many medicine gifts as you
can while the Sun is still in
Virgo...
Capricorn: What
kind of martial art did you have in mind? You are not
the only Capricorn who has asked your astrologer this
question. Let us examine a few options. Akido would work for
you, but you need to learn how to make an elegant fall. Tai
Chi is not really your style, is it? What your oracle has in
mind is something more like Castenada's magical passes or a
slow contact improvisation technique. Capoeira for the
Capricorns!
Aquarius:
When the Sun is hot & bothersome in Leo, you usually
search out some serious shade, a beach umbrella, a shady
tree, a cool stream, a taoist hiding place known only by
ethereal elementals & visionary Aquarians. You are the
avatar of the-path-less-taken. However, the problem with
being an avatar is that sooner or later, you will be noticed,
followed, interviewed & found out. Then you become:
a public person. August could be your
month....
Pisces:
Whatever happened to that good-humoured, humble,
happy-with-one's-lot, surrendered, carefree, philosophical,
swimming-with-the-current Pisces?? Well, the transit of
electric, eclectic, erratic, maverick, magnetic,
u-turning Uranus has put an abrupt end to that
old-fashioned style of Pisces. You are now the one who
enjoys turning it all upside
down!
