Supermoon in Pisces/The Energy Times
by Isaac George

August 28th, 2015

I've had a lot of surprises in August, but actually, I'm not surprised. In fact, that should be everyone’s standard response for the rest of the year. “Hey, I wasn’t surprised”…or something like that. After Black Monday and Brown Tuesday, and “I Don’t Freakin’ Believe It” Wednesday, a lot of big and small investors around the world are downing antidepressants and alcohol. There’s been a binge crop of solar activity as well. We’ll talk all about that in the Energy Report segment below, but first…

We have a very busy rest of the month, and September has so much happening in it that I will be breaking this up into at least two or perhaps three consecutive reports. It's a right of passage, and we're on the verge of a lot more change and transformation! Look to the bottom of these posts to grab a look at the chart(s) or other supporting evidence pertaining to the content.

The first of three Super Full Moons occurs this Saturday at 19:35 BST in the U.K. A “supermoon”  is what occurs when the moon’s orbit is closest to the earth. It’s called a syzygy, which is a vortex of energy that is created by the Moon, Sun and Earth in alignment. When the moon is this close it can distort the tidal motions and the land masses are even slightly affected. Since our bodies and the viscous fluid that our brain floats in is mostly water, our equilibrium and mental and emotional bodies are impacted. This can create unexpected emotional responses, and fuzzy-headed thinking. For some it’ll be like being on drugs.

At the same time as this lunation, and the next one - a partial Solar Eclipse on September 13th, we have to still deal with Pluto, Chiron, Venus Uranus and Neptune in retrograde motion. Saturn also is still playing a big role in the current energies. Here are the dates of note to follow:

August 29th – This Supermoon is at 6 degrees and 6 minutes of Virgo and Pisces. Jupiter conjuncts the Sun and opposes the Moon, and expands the effects dramatically. Neptune is conjunct the Moon, and opposes the Sun, creating even more Piscean blurriness. Think of the word permeability, and you get the idea. No boundaries between you and the light and dark within. Anything that is dark and hidden will be brought into view.  There may be an aura of unreality to certain things, a look like a shimmering mirage in the distance. Is it an oasis, or an illusion up ahead? With this much Neptunian dazzle, it may look more like the Twilight Zone or an alternate universe.

The push-pull will be between work, analysing, and feeling practical versus the call of the great wild open Multiverse with all of its feelings, images, visions, and the desire to merge with the expansive realm of unrequited dreams, unconditional love and oneness. Shall we crack on with what’s at hand, or will you just hold me for eternity?  This is the nature of oppositions…a tug of war. Oppositions are always a call for balance, a negotiated win-win (hopefully). One of the things to pay heed to: where were you and what you were dwelling on when the Pisces Eclipse occurred on March 20th this year?  Perhaps something related to that time will reveal itself to your awareness this time around.

The New Moon on Sept.13th reintroduces more Virgoan themes, but this time the Sun and Moon will oppose retrograde Chiron at 19 Pisces. This will be covered in next week's post.

Helpful Hints: This could be a very emotional time and feel unwelcome, because darn it, you’ve got stuff to accomplish! (Virgo mind stuff). Full Moons are a release point though, so don’t fight it. I recommend grounding (Virgo) and comforting yourself while you witness your feelings. This is an opportunity to merge intuition with intellect…don’t let it slip past you!

September 1st – Mars and Venus go out on a date with Leo: This will be interesting…especially since Venus is still retrograde. She goes direct on the morning of the 7th of September in the U.K., culminating at 14 degrees and 24 minutes of Leo, and right next to Mr. Mars. This is the second conjoined meeting of three this year, with the next one on November 3rd. Check and see if you have anything around 14 plus degrees in your chart in the signs of Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio or Taurus. That’s where the action will be. The call to balance the masculine and feminine principles within us will feel a bit odd with Venus still moving backwards, and the Full Moon just happening and all that. Seems like a hello and a goodbye…a “Strangers in the Night Moment”, or Daniel Day Louis shouting across a battlefield “Stay alive! I will find you!” in Last of the Mohicans.  Can’t wait for round 3 on November 3rd!

The other event on this date is Saturn landing on the Anaretic 29th Degree of Scorpio. I’ve been excitedly reading up on what the 29th degree represents in each sign of the Zodiac, and it’s stunning how effective and inescapable it is. According to the medical astrologer Eileen Nauman, this is the Cosmic Hammer. Basically, if you have any planet, major asteroid or angle (Ascendent, Descendent, etc.) at 29 degrees, and a transiting planet, especially one of the outer transpersonal planets (Saturn, Uranus, etc.) makes contact with something in your natal chart when it arrives at the 29th degree, then any unresolved toxic emotions that have to do with the issues of that natal point will be released. You, as an individual, will have no control over this and it is work that must be done…hence the term Cosmic Hammer. It’s like between degrees 0 and 28, you can resist change. But at the 29th degree you no longer have free will or the ability to dictate to your own soul or the Universe. Forces beyond your control rise up to enforce the evolutionary imperative. Something’s gotta give, and the manifestation will appear to be something that happens outside of you that you will have no control over, but whatever it is will change your mind and your direction. By the way, the transiting planet doesn’t have to be a big outer one. The Sun, Mars and Venus have been transiting through the later degrees of Leo, and causing a spectacular ruckus with some folks when they've touched the 29th degree. The Nodes of the Moon are about to leave Aries-Libra, and then it will be at the 29th degree of Virgo-Pisces.  Saturn will return to Sagittarius on September 18th, but more on that in the next installment.

NOTE: The permutations or possibilities depends on the planets involved, so if you have anything in your chart at the 29th degree, and want some guidance to decipher what this Saturn transit is going to do in your chart, then contact me post haste. We can set up an Astro Update session to tackle it. Just click here for more information or to book a reading.

September 6th – Venus in Leo goes direct at 14 degrees and 24 minutes at 9:29 am BST on the morning of September 7th in the United Kingdom. This will be a welcome relief for those who have been through some of the toughest relationship challenges of their lives. There have been breakups, temporary get-togethers, reversing of fields, and just plain heartbreak and releasing since July 25th. Actually, Venus entered the shadow phase on June 22nd and the heat has been on ever since. Venus won’t exit the other side of the shadow period until October 9th, so don’t be too hasty to consider anything as a done deal. In fact, any rethinking that has happened during this retrograde that led to any decision-making of major consequence may end up doubling back on itself. The same way that buying a new car under a Mercury retrograde can create problem. Four or five months down the road you may wonder why you bought this lemon, and what you will wonder what it will take to get out from under it. Rash decisions could come back to haunt you, the other, or all parties involved. The past could indeed become prologue in some cases – i.e., what what looked like a final decision now looks untenable and that which was rejected is now embraced. Only time will tell, so please don’t stand still and hold your breath. These things have a way of sorting themselves out for the best good of all.

As Venus exits the retrograde, it forms a quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn and a trine to Uranus in Aries. The quincunx is a tension aspect that could bring some lessons concerning the sharing of power in relationships and the trine could create a need for more autonomy within your current relationship. Both require a redefining of boundaries and freedom.

That’s the wrap up for the astro-events between today and September 9th, but the next issue will cover the New Moon in Virgo on the 13th of September, and Saturn’s ingress into Sagittarius for the next two years, and what that may mean for all of us. View the chart for tomorrow’s Full Moon below.

The Energy Times:

In the last blog, The Kiss, I had a small section devoted to an Energy Report. Beginning with this issue, I am now calling it The Energy Times.

In that issue I mentioned some of the anomalies that I had been experiencing with electronic computing and telecommunications devices and networks. I also noted a distinct uptick in people getting feeling ill or health challenged but ongoing medical testing coming back with mixed or negative results, but symptoms persisting or worsening anyway. In some recent cases seemingly healthy people died suddenly, or those with chronic but non-life threatening situations also died suddenly. The last category that is noteworthy is emotional instability and a rise in lethargy and despair. In early August a number of friends and clients reported feeling like they just felt like giving up or had no idea what in the world to do with themselves. Some folks have been borderline suicidal in some cases. Dizziness, nausea, fainting spells, disorientation, and disorganization also were reported. And, as has been the case for some time now, disrupted sleeping patterns, or bouts of insomnia are widespread.

So in the last issue I invited you, the Reader, to submit anything that seemed out of the ordinary, and I got back some good responses. Reports varied from person-to-person, but overall the consensus on the Internet seemed almost universal. It seems that no matter where one lives, the serviceable speed and bandwidth has degraded noticeably…with no Internet Service Provider able to offer any reasonable explanation or solution. Other symptoms reported are laptops and mobile (cell) phones shutting down and restarting. Erratic message sending or messages and emails that went  missing into cyberspace. Hard drives crashing, data missing, and in some cases entire operating systems becoming unstable or inoperable, requiring a reinstallation.

One of my clients forwarded the following dissertation about what might be occurring. It’s entitled “Dis-Equilibrium and the Human Brain” by Sheilagh Durkin. You can download the Adobe PDF of the file below.

My own take on these electronic and communications issues is two-fold. First, Uranus went retrograde on July 27th, and won’t go direct again until December 27th.  I feel that Uranus governs things electrical, and when Uranus was in the sign of Aquarius during the 1990’s it showed how influential it was in birthing the revolution in electronic computing and hand-held communications equipment. So, don’t expect things to ease much until after New Year’s Day,  when Uranus gets up a head of steam and begins to move forward again. What the lesson might be here is to show us how overly dependent and addicted we’ve become to our gadgets. This recent article focuses on how we're obsessed with mobile computing platforms – click here to view the article.

Another more intriguing factor is geopathic stress. I have been feeling for some time the deep symbiotic connect between the ecosphere of our planet, particularly its electro-magnetic field, and the Sun’s sunspot and CME (coronal mass ejections) cycles. We’re not in a solar maximum cycle, but since late June there have been long periods of geomagnetic storming induced by CME’s and coronal streams of super-charged particles streaming into the upper atmosphere. I’ve heard that some geophysicists are concerned that erratic solar activity is affecting the Earth’s magnetic core, the tides, the gravitational fields, and also our biological functions.

I’m still researching and compiling links and articles and hopefully provide a list in the next issue. Perhaps Gaia’s awakening is getting quiet active, and merits a closer understanding. There is also new data indicating that solar activity is the main driver of our weather patterns, and El Nino’ and El Nina’ in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean. The non-existent summer in Ireland may be by-product of processes involving our Sun we’re just beginning to understand. The solar effects may also extend to the increase in tectonic activity, with larger quakes and more volcanic activity lighting up the headlines for the past three months. People who are electro-sensitive or empathic react to geopathic stress and solar activity, and the symptoms are quite pronounced for some in the emotional and psychological changes they experience. Some exhibit strong physical reactions that feel quite real, but medical testing cannot detect as yet. Perhaps the instrumentation used is still not sensitive enough to register the effects of magnetic fluctuations on the human cellular structures. More to follow in the next issue!

P.S. To underscore the weirdness, a blog of mine from July 15th started appearing in my subscriber's inboxes today, and I have no clue how it happened!

Black Monday Special Report:

Last Monday (August 24th) the world financial markets reacted very negatively to what was happening on the China's stock exchange. It seems that most folks were surprised by the ferocity of how it impacted the other exchanges around the world. I’ve been watching the Chinese exchange since late July when a sell-off began that no one in China could figure out. Steadily the losses climbed…and the Chinese authorities stood by and did nothing. Was it insider trading? Was the Chinese dominance in manufacturing and finance finally overheating and losing forward momentum? The downward spiral continued, and the Chinese central bank did nothing to shore up its currency. However, it did start to quietly sell off U.S.Treasury bonds These bonds are traded by the U.S. government to fund the cash it buys from the Federal Reserve, the American central bank. The money raised from the treasury bonds keeps the U.S liquidity going. They are seen as an investment, with yields calculated over decades in the future based on projected growth. If growth slows down, then the bonds lose value. It is estimated that China has 2-3 trillion dollars worth of U.S. bonds. If it starts selling them in large enough quantities to shore up its own growth and protect the Yuan, then investors will begin to lose confidence and sell off stocks and commodities based on the speculation of a downturn economically. Last week the first wave hit on August 21s, when the U.S. stock index, the Dow Jones lost over 300 points. The next day the losses climbed to 550 plus points. This past Monday panic set in. For interesting perspectives about this, click here and here.

Predictive astrology is a risky business. Nonetheless I am paying attention to what some of the best ones are talking about just now, because a few of them accurately predicted the events of the past 10 days. And they don’t see an end to the bumpy ride either. So I am preparing a three-part series about many interrelated topics for the months of September and October, and they will post independently from the usual astrological reports. Part of this series will be focusing on our current beliefs about money, debt, economics and sustainability and spirituality and how we may be at a crossroads that could force us to dramatically alter our viewpoints about our culture so that we can survive and thrive in a new way on this planet.

Thanks for reading and sharing the Revealing the Mystery Blog, and may your experience of the Supermoon and all the exciting changes be a blessing to you. Hang in there and take good care of yourself.

With love,
Isaac

There has already been much written about tomorrow’s New Moon in Leo, so I want to focus on something a bit more esoteric.

Venus has an interesting orbital relationship with our planet. Called the "Synodic Cycle", it covers a time period of 19 months, in which her movements transcribe a path through the heavens that ends up in the form of a pentacle, or five-pointed star. I first encountered a reference to this in a book about Mary Magdalene by Margaret Starbird, entitled “The Woman with the Alabastar Jar.”  In a later chapter in the book, Starbird discusses the symbols of the Goddess, some of which are encoded in the Suites of the Tarot deck. She also mentioned the orbital synodic cycle of Venus and that she formed a pentacle, which is associated with the Goddess Isis and other goddess archetypes from the Middle East and elsewhere.

Here are two graphics illustrating the cycle, including the current one we are in right that completes itself on August 15th, the day after the New Moon. Below that is an animated GIF that shows how the cycle forms a pentacle.

For you hard-core astrology buffs who hunger after more, click here to read an in-depth article.

There are a lot of pretty pictures here and such, but what in the world can it mean for you and I? Well, with five retrograding planets and Chiron still happening (see my last blog here for more info) two of the major themes have been love/relationships and values/money.

Right after the powerful New Moon activates our creative juices tomorrow, Venus will “kiss” the Earth when she makes her interior conjunction this coming Saturday, August 15th. Energetically it’s an enticement, a nudge and a wink, that will magnetically start gearing us up for more about self-acceptance (i.e. love) and some insights around the forms those creative sparks can, or should, be used for. That’s the broader meaning for the Venus retrograde in Leo cycle anyways…cultivating self-care…nurturing yourself on your own home front. Your values around money and possessions are also highlighted, so you may be getting ideas about what you can do to spruce up your environment to make it shine a bit more. Spending a little on yourself and your digs may be just the ticket to express creativity and heighten the feel good factor.

The New Moon lighting up this Venus in Leo brings to mind how we want to experience love and how to be more loving towards others. It seems playful and frivolous, but the heart is always at the core of Leo’s affections…which means things could get quite serious. This love may be romantic, or might more likely be so, except it’s in a retrograde right now and that means “review and releasing.” Perhaps in some instances the rekindling of a partnership with someone from the recent past will manifest, and actually stand the test of time down the road. The experience may just be a trip down memory lane...a heartfelt return to something idyllic and tender. It can also be the catalyst that it is time to end a relationship or commitment that has been on the rocks for a while anyway. Only time (and these influences) will tell the tale.

There is a final caution here regarding the energy of Venus after the 21st of August, when she re-emerges from the Underworld and becomes the Morning Star once again. This period of about two weeks up until Venus goes direct on September 6th is sometimes called the “Dark Cupid” phase. There may be an impulsive encounter with someone who reminds you of a lost love or soulmate, but that individual is, in a sense, an imposter or stand-in for unresolved subconscious material. Be aware - no matter how compelling or “right” the situation might feel to you, it could be a fast track to some big heartbreak, or worse.

On a higher note, the release we experience during these times, the deep letting go, may just be the thing that allows for us to experience the love we’ve always wanted and waited for. Yes, I am talking some soulmate stuff here, but not the dewy-eyed variety. With the polarity point in Aquarius, this may also be a call to "service."

Be OPEN…but in order to be open and stay open, there’s some way old baggage of hurt and pain to jettison first. And don’t we know how easy it is to stay in denial and not let go.? Well, this is your time, my time, and our time…so see it as an opportunity and not a loss. All we’re going to be losing here are our blocks to love...simple as that.

Finally, as mentioned above, since the polarity point of Leo is in Aquarius our creative juices may be called upon to flow in other ways. In other words, the energy of the New Moon and “The Kiss” isn’t just about you exalting yourself and grabbing the limelight. There is a challenge to reorient your personal goals and ambitions towards more Aquarian principles. A few questions to consider might be:

1) Who am I?

2) What do I love (and love to do)?

3) What is my vision?

4) Who do I want to cocreate my vision with?

5) How can it make a difference in the world?

6) What win-win situations would I like to see create?

As with any New Moon, it is always a fruitful time to write down on a piece of paper with pen (not on your iPad please) your intentions, wishes, wants and desires for the coming Moon cycle. Be as vivid as you can…really FEEL into each point as if it were already something you are experiencing. I am recalling and reminding myself that this is the power of real attraction – magnetically aligning yourself with your conceptual desires through the power of feeling.

ENERGY REPORT

Finally, I want to address something that I will post more about next week. In order to set the stage for that, I would like to mention that I have been observing a number of anomalies happening for a few weeks now…both in my own reality and also coming from the experience of others. Something is coming undone, unglued, or unravelling. The Internet has been erratic…running way slower than is normal, and without any explanation by ISP’s. Emails are late arriving or have gone missing entirely without explanation. It seems that some desktop computers, mobile devices and laptops are acting up severely as well (my android goes through fits of restarting itself four or five times for no reason whatsoever). Some folks I know have been going through intense challenges emotionally, financially and physically. Some of the physical ailments mimic major malfunctions, but nothing shows up in medical testing. Symptoms vary from nervous exhaustion to heart problems, throat problems, and dizziness/vertigo.

I am wondering if our personal electromagnetic fields are falling down. Or is it the planet’s geomagnetic field? Whatever it is cannot be totally explained via astrological influences. Therefore, I am asking you, the Reader, if you would leave a comment on this post if you are experiencing anything out of the ordinary, or know someone who is. Alternatively, you can message me directly through my Contact Form here.  I will take your comments into consideration ahead of my energy report next week. Thank you!!

That’s it for now. Enjoy the New Moon, get kissed (or kiss!), and remember to love and look after yourself and each other.

With love,
Isaac
