I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work… I want to achieve it through not dying. Woody Allen
I
feel my immortality over sweep all pains, all tears, all time, all
fears, —and peal, like the eternal thunders of the deep, into my ears,
this truth; thou livest forever! Byron
Hope is the expectation that something outside of ourselves, something or someone external, is going to come to our rescue and we will live happily ever after. Dr. Robert Anthony
Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I argue thee that love is life and life hath immortality. Emily Dickinson
If a man carefully examines his thoughts he will be surprised to find how much he lives in the future. His well being is always ahead. Such a creature is probably immortal. Ralph Waldo Emerson

August's total solar eclipse falls on August 21 in the US, and, in Australia, on August 22.
This is a big eclipse, and, the Symbols of it are rather extraordinary.
Much has been said about this eclipse, as it is not only a total
eclipse, but, it's path falls right across the contiguous United States.
Click here for eclipse maps from NASA.
This eclipse (which, of course, is a new moon) is a very powerful one,
and, it's one that is causing a level of consternation and fear. It's
understandable, particularly with the current political and social
climate, that people are worried: Everything is so uncertain now. It
feels like an incredible turning point, and obviously, we hope that it's
for the better, although, also, obviously, we have a ways to go for
things to turn out ok...
Mars has a very strong placement in this eclipse,
so, we are facing some very real challenges. In the lineup at this
eclipse we have Mars on Leo 21, the Moon's north node on Leo 25 and the
Sun and the Moon (the eclipse) on Leo 29. This means that Mars is going to transit over both the Moon's node, and the eclipse point in the days following the eclipse.
A lot of anger, dismay, upset and determination is likely to follow
this eclipse for some time. Cool heads need to prevail, although that is
a tall order at the moment. So, we are being asked to find some
equilibrium in amongst what's going on: We have to find a still point of
trust in amongst it all.
Also, in the days following this eclipse, Venus will be squaring Uranus,
and, we are likely to be making all kinds of decisions about our
values, relationships, money issues, directions in the future, etc. A
Venus/Uranus square can feel like a big pair of scissors being wielded
to cut off those things that are no longer working in our life. This can
also extend to our feelings, thoughts and emotions. We can be
challenged to change our responses, especially if we're finding that
they don't align with our true values. Venus, in Cancer, can bring up issues to do with home, family, emotions, homeland, belonging, our definition of our 'territory', etc. Furthermore, Venus is involved in three major aspects at the time of this eclipse.
In the days leading up to the eclipse, Venus is opposing Pluto,
squaring Jupiter, and then, a few days after the eclipse, squaring
Uranus. This can lead to a lot of realigning with others, with
ourselves, with our objectives. Some friendships, relationships and
alliances could find themselves under a lot of strain and some will be
jettisoned as we find ourselves growing and evolving, sometimes in ways
that can be rather too quick for us to really keep up. In just over 24
hours after the eclipse, Venus moves onto Cancer 27: A FURIOUS STORM IN A CANYON FILLED WITH VALUABLE HOMES,
and, we are likely to see some big events take place that require cool
heads and cool responses. This is going to be a very interesting couple
of weeks.
There's a lot that could be said here about politics, the world, and, Donald Trump,
and, recent events... especially as Trump's chart is incredibly lit up
by this eclipse. I don't want to talk about him here, but, as a lot of
other people have noted, this is an enormous time for him and the US and
the world.
And,
with Mars and Jupiter sextiling each other, and, Mars and Saturn in a
trine aspect, there's the strong possibility of feeling the need to get
organised, get our 'ducks in a row', to 
make decisions in order to live a more authentic life. Even in amongst
the challenges, fear and confusion of this time, if we concentrate on
what is real, on what we really want, on what we value in our lives, we
can instigate some real changes with Mars and Saturn trining. The trick
is the right use of our energies, which can be an interesting challenge,
but, a very rewarding one if we strive for that outcome. And, a week or
so after the eclipse, Mars trines Uranus, which can add to the feeling of change and renewal and bringing in new realizations and realities.

Part of the muddle at the moment is Mercury, along with all the outer planets, being retrograde.
This is made even stronger by Mercury going retrograde opposite
Neptune, which can cause things to feel unclear, uncertain and downright
confusing. Messages can get lost in translation and we can feel rather
stymied and 'held up'. The trick is to see through the fog of the
confusing and sometimes bewildering messages or 'news' that we receive,
read and see every day.
The
core issue of this eclipse can be seen from the Sabian Symbol for it:
Leo 29: A MERMAID HAS CLIMBED TO THE ROCKY SHORE OF A BLEAK COAST, SHE
AWAITS THE PRINCE WHO WILL BRING HER IMMORTALITY. This can be
about waiting for the 'right relationship' to turn up, and, this might
be something that you are truly seeking - that true life mate, and, for
some people, there will be the promise of someone special turning up.
However, I see this Symbol as bringing us the possibility of so much more.
The true 'inner marriage' is more the point of this Symbol - the
alchemical marriage with a higher force may be just what we need in
order to strengthen our resolve to live a more authentic, fulfilled and
worthwhile life. I've been listening to a lot of Neville Goddard's
lectures on Youtube, and, I'm seeing the need to relax into finding
that true sense of 'immortality' within one's own soul. Goddard's work
is extraordinary and I highly recommend him - his words have shown how
we can realize and access the Christ Consciousness within us all. It's a
tall order to fulfill, but, extremely rewarding. Goddard speaks of how
our 'own wonderful human imagination' creates everything. I sense that
this eclipse can bring about, for many, a true revolution in
consciousness.
BUT, the major aspect of this eclipse is the fabulous trine between the eclipse and Uranus.
This gives us a huge opportunity to find our true authentic path, to
tune into and release any negative energies around us, to feel a true
sense of liberation and release. It could be that asking the question
"what do I really want?" that we can bring much more of what we really
want into our lives.
There's more that can be said about all of this, but, it is covered in the list of Sabian Symbols for the planets below.

A solar eclipse is a much stronger than usual new Moon, and the new Moon each month marks a time of new beginnings and realisations. It's like a birth after a time of gestation or being 'in the womb'. Here, the light begins to return and we can see new beginnings and possibilities. A new Moon means that the Sun and the Moon are both together - bringing a synergy of their energies together. The new Moon is a perfect time to set your intentions for the future. This period is wonderful for planting seeds of whatever kind. What do you want to manifest in your future? Whether you write it down, sing about it or just hold the thought forms in your mind, doing this at the new Moon can realise some fabulous results around the things that you want to draw into your life.

The solar eclipse is on Leo 29: A MERMAID HAS CLIMBED TO THE ROCKY SHORE OF A BLEAK COAST, SHE AWAITS THE PRINCE WHO WILL BRING HER IMMORTALITY - the following is my interpretation from my book The Sabian Oracle: 360 Degrees Of Wisdom -At this point in time particularly, many of us feel like we're on the 'Rocky Shore Of A Bleak Coast', wondering when things will get better. When will things get back on a good track and improve? I sense an incredible sense of loneliness and longing in this Symbol, however, it is an incredibly powerful one of finding our 'immortality' within. This Symbol can speak of an alchemical marriage: We can find that part of us that is so perfectly complete, regardless of our more 'outer relationships', this can be one of the 'inner marriage'. Interestingly, this is the Moon's node of Princess Diana.
Commentary: The ‘Mermaid Has Climbed to the Rocky Shore of a Bleak Coast’, shows a woman who has previously felt like she (and this, of course, can relate to a male) merely existed in the waters of life and is now ready to emerge into a more conscious existence as an individual in her own right. She is willing to ‘Climb the Rocky Shore’ no matter how ‘Bleak’ the 'Coast' may be. She may have to leave her home and past behind in order to move into a new life, a new relationship or new beginning of some kind. She will learn to better communicate her emotions, thoughts and ideas. In being able to more fully verbalize and express herself and to “walk her talk”, she can find her place and sense of purpose: the 'Immortality' that can be achieved in this new reality.
Oracle: You must have belief in your ability to cope as an individual emerging into new arenas. ‘The Prince Who Will Bring Her Immortality’, can show the seeking of perfection in one’s self through relationships. Be careful not to project too much authority onto your partner(or, onto anyone). This can lead to feelings of insecurity and being out of one’s depth. You may be expecting others to acknowledge your existence, possibly feeling invisible until they do. However, other people, and probably someone in particular, may bring you insights into your capabilities, talents and attributes so that you can become more of what you’re meant to become. The female/mermaid, male/prince doesn’t necessarily always translate into these gender definitions. The ‘Mermaid’ may indeed be male, waiting for his “princess” to come to make his life complete. Whichever, how will the partner cope when the ‘Mermaid’ truly gains her own feet and voice? With this new sense of belonging, ideas can be brought into reality in a new world of experience.
Keywords: Coming into conscious form. New ways of being. Transformation. New forms emerging out of the past. Needing, and probably expecting, recognition. Feeling different from the crowd. Learning to stand on your own two feet. Problems with feet and legs. Longing to make an impression.
The Caution: Focusing on social or rational aspects before being ready. Naivety. Being thrown in the deep end. Relying on relationships too much. Looking to the other for validation of one’s existence. Co-dependent behavior..
The Karmic Degree for the Solar Eclipse is Leo 28: MANY LITTLE BIRDS ON THE LIMB OF A LARGE TREE - when I see this Symbol, I often think of Twitter and other forms of social media.
This Symbol shows many people and voices and a gathering together with those of like mind. There seem to be so many possibilities or ways to go. Although the overall situation is secure and stable there will still
