THE ORACLE REPORT: Wednesday, August 2, 2017
First Quarter Moon Phase: take action, move beyond comfort zone
Moon in Sagittarius
Sun: 11 Leo - "children on a swing in a huge oak tree"
Higher Expression: approaching things with a playful attitude, safety and security, openness, strong core
Lower Expression: irresponsible, worries about safety and security, not taking a break, forcing things
Earth: 11 Aquarius - "during a silent hour, a man receives a new inspiration which may change his life"
Higher Expression: creating space for something new, solutions, listening to intuition, breathing new life into situations
Lower Expression: negating, selfishness, over-doing
Over the years, I have come to find the day that the Sun and Earth are at 11 Leo and 11 Aquarius is the quintessential energy of summertime (if you are a southern hemisphere wise owl, you may need to use your imagination for this one). Today's combination of energetics invites us to engage life from a pleasurable perspective. It asks us to open space in our hearts and minds. It suggests we lighten up. Ideally, we "play" or approach life from a more enjoyable perspective.
If you need another excuse to play today, we also have the Moon making conjunction first with the Black Moon (10:30 pm ET/2:30 am UT) and later with Saturn (at 3:37 am ET/7:37 am UT). This combination is heavy, but the higher octave is REBIRTH. The Black Moon represents the cycle of death and rebirth, but the rebirth part tends to be forgotten. The Black Moon moves to 20 Sagittarius (with two thirds of its transit through Sagittarius now complete!) and the Sabian symbol of "in winter, people cutting ice from a frozen pond for summer use." This energetic teaches us to plan for the future, to take action for the future, and to overcome what may be obstructing the way.
But since it is "Summertime Day" today, let's reap a reward from some type of action taken in the past - perhaps during a long winter's night. Consider what you have overcome to bring you where you are, and give your spirit some credit.
Keep that spirit strong as the Moon conjuncts Saturn at 22 Sagittarius, "a Chinese laundry." Last night, Phoenix and I discussed this symbol quite a bit, as it is the degree of the Black Moon-Saturn conjunction on August 21 - the day of the New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse. The Black Moon has been on Saturn's heels all summer, and will finally meet up with it that day.
For today, let's remember to play because experience tells this will be the best way.
Many thanks to Phoenix for creating space for us all to approach things a different way. It's always a pleasure to be invited on his show. When the show is available, I will post it.
