Post Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde in Leo

The great solar eclipse may be passed though the influence continues with high concentration until the next full moon in Pisces on September 6. This is a growth cycle during which you can begin something, plant seeds (literally and otherwise), and finalize where needed. Mercury is still retrograde until September 5 so remain flexible and ready to make adjustments. On Thursday, August 31, Mercury will retrograde back into Leo and join Mars and the eclipse point in Leo. High intensity continues to aggravate and activate where there is already sensitivity to this fire quality. Powerful events, such as the hurricane in Texas and flooding are a result. That 11 trillion gallons of water has already rained down with more to come is so very tragic.

While Mercury is in Leo from August 31 to September 9, there is greater inclination to speak out and be self-expressive. Leo is about the self, the ego and id, and it instigates realizing ones individual identity and preferences through desire.

 Here's the September, 2017 calendar with planet and luminary aspects.

As the days go by I'll add definitions of what the lunar phases, signs, and aspects indicate.

Solar Eclipse in Leo

What can I say that hasn't already been said? For weeks and months before the big talk about the eclipse began, I've discussed it, written about it, and presented information....and, it's finally here as a marker in history of celestial greatness. For the millions who'll watch it, there will be those who are sparked by something deeper and meaningful as each resonate to how much their hearts are open and their mind are able to perceive the deeply profound messages streaming within the solar rays.

Today, and for the next two weeks, is a time to contemplate and listen to your own voice within that prods you to align with your own higher purpose and fulfillment. This is the time to formulate a plan, begin, and in some way put into place the beginning of the next phase of your life. Between now and until the next Full Moon in Pisces on September 6 is growth and expansion of the Solar Eclipse in Leo energy.

It's easy to tap into your heart center and your authentic self and recognize what life you truly want to manifest. 

The last solar eclipse that crossed the US was June 18, 1918.

Scorpio Full Moon & the Wildcard

The Moon is full in Scorpio tomorrow at 5:45PM ET and Mercury with Uranus makes the energy of this lunar peak a bit of a wildcard. Time to finish what you can before it and then relax into an atmosphere as easygoing as you can make it. James Comey, today was fired from his 4yr position as Director of the FBI. He has drawn my attention for a year now and his Scorpio energy fell right into alignment with the “wildcard” and unpredictable energy that is now so active. Interesting that federal authorities had to step in and order airline pilots to return to work. The fighting that erupted at airports is all part of this volatility.  Mercury and Uranus are in Aries that is fire and Mars, planet of war and aggression, in Gemini directly affects flying and all aspects of flight. It would be good to avoid conflict and anywhere there is tension until at least 2PM Thursday. Strive not to let things get out of hand!

Seance and table tipping - things got out of hand!

Sandra's Celestial Compass

Venus in Aries until June 06 creates the impulse to strike out on your own, to venture into new territory and take the initiative. This instills strong urges of desire. It can benefit if you have been lagging your feet or falling behind but want to move forward with a goal. There can be impulsive actions in romance and for any social activity. It should be interesting to look back a few months from now and see how many are unhappy due to acting before thinking. This can really be a positive motivating factor, or, if unsure of what is desired and already walking on the wild side, adventure akin to gambling.
