The Black Moon of August 30, 2008

Nearly everyone has heard the phrase ‘Once In A Blue Moon’, referring to the rare and serendipitous occurrence of two Full Moons in a single month. Far fewer know of the Black Moon. The Black Moon, despite its sinister title, is equally lucky, but more mysterious. The Black Moon is the second New Moon in a single month. Usually about three to four years will pass between either Black or Blue Moons. The wise will make the most of the promise of the special magic the Black and Blue lunations invoke. The Black Moon opens a portal to other dimensions. It’s a time to connect with ghosts, the world of faerie and the planes of the ascended masters. Deep meditations under this cycle can bring guidance and answers on many levels. The intent is to help us all to cope with and understand the current planetary, political , cosmic and economic changes!

The August 30, 2008 Black Moon is at the 7th degree of Virgo, applying to conjoin Saturn and trine Jupiter. Serious issues involving the Earth and security are in the thoughts and hearts of many. Healing, service, animal companions, idealistic standards, communication and precision are the keynotes. The Sabian symbol is “a dance class instruction”, suggesting excellence in skill, cooperation and moving in harmony with others. The fixed star Zosma , a triple star of pale yellow and violet, hovers near a Virgo stellium involving the Sun, Moon and Saturn. The message is to rise above melancholy and altruistically consider the needs of others. Honor the greater good. Zosma does not favor the self serving. Riches and rewards will come to those who help others and are willing to grow.

The carnelian agate (health) and sapphire (peaceful love) are favorable crystals to wear or carry, colors to select for candles and wardrobe include mauve, navy, grey and lime. The aromatherapy fragrances of lavender (cheerful friends) and raspberry (anti stress) are desirable. Connect with Guardian Angel Auriel for blessings and favor.

The influence of the Black Moon stays in force until the next New Moon on September 29, 2008.

A Cosmic Promise For A Most Uncommon Time!

“The shadow of the eclipse” is a technical term astrologers use to refer to the volatile time preceding an eclipse. It is a cycle of change bringing a hint of the even greater changes to come. The end of July, 2008, definitely brought an intriguing eclipse shadow. Dr. Edgar Mitchell, former astronaut and one of only a dozen people to walk on the Moon, called a press conference at his Lake Worth, Florida home. A Virgo, born on September 17, 1930, this respected scientist and Navy officer announced that aliens (the outer space type) are definitely among us. Southern California was rocked by a major earthquake. This happened while television shows were being filmed. A genuine courtroom drama was shown on the evening news as judge, defendants and plaintiffs alike rushed for safety and cover from Judge Judy’s Courtroom. Afterward Judge Judy herself advised people to have a plan in the event of future quakes!

A glance at the ephemeris (astrologers’ reference for planetary motion) for August, 2008 brings a gasp of amazement. Cosmic patterns reveal that this month can be a rare pivotal time in the lives of many, indeed in world history itself. Looking back and forth at the two eclipses (on August 1 and August 16) which are followed by a rare Black Moon on August 30, my first instinct is to retreat to my three treasured 19th Century Farmer’s Almanacs for a moment of reflection and meditation to regain perspective and balance.

For August the 1823 “Farmer’s Almanack by Robert Thomas”

Offers a helpful observation:

“On nature’s face there’s many a smile

Which luxury and peace betoken,

It pays the labourer for the toil,

In health and joy and rest unbroken.”

August 1 is Lammastide, the ancient Celtic festival of late summer and early harvest. This year of 2008 brings a total solar eclipse at the Leo New Moon on Lammas. For those who follow the old ways the traditional observances of Lammas can bring a deep spiritual experience. The Solar eclipse conjoins Mercury showing that changing mindsets and mental attitudes, important communication, travel and education can be a focus. The Sabian symbol for the eclipse degree (9 Leo 32’) reads “Early Morning dew”. Eternal refreshment and rejuvenation, the promise of a new day’s dawn, coincide with the promise of a new month. The wise will be alert and stay on top of all that is progressive.

The two week period between August’s eclipses brings the Olympics in China. Prepare for surprise wins and losses among the athletes as well as amazing Olympic celebrations and situations. Anyone with a birthday in August can expect the start of a banner year. For everyone else, take out your horoscope and look at the natal planets in Leo and Aquarius. They are highlighted and will be very active in your life.

The lunar eclipse on August 16 is at 24 degrees Aquarius 21 minutes. It conjoins Neptune which is in mutual reception with Uranus. Both planets rule aliens as well as unusual weather. More evidence of Dr. Mitchell’s claims as well as seismic and storm activity are likely near this date. Creative and spiritual breakthroughs for those involved in the mystic arts, music, film or visual arts can occur. The Sabian symbol is “A watch dog standing guard”. Hold onto and protect that which you treasure, the symbol hints . Integrity, strength and devotion will lead to success.

As August ends Venus and Mercury will join Mars in Libra. Social contacts, teamwork and appreciation of beauty in all forms will be accented. It’s an optimum time to assemble a medicine bag of crystals, for Libra has a special link with gemstones. The Black Moon (the very rare second New Moon in a single month) will be at 7 Virgo 48’, 3:58 pm EDT on August 30. The Black Moon is fey and mysterious, insights can come, there is an awareness of finer perceptions. The Virgo influence encourages breakthroughs in healing.

December, 2007 Astrology Insights

Astrologers are waiting and watching in anticipation! On Tuesday, December 11, 2007 a very rare Jupiter- Pluto conjunction will occur at 28 degrees 24 minutes of Sagittarius! Events which unfold and decisions made near that date can make quite an impact. This applies to the Planet as a whole, the stage of world affairs and to the dramas unfolding in our personal lives. Jupiter, the largest of planets has a traditional link with both Zeus and Thor. The hurling thunderbolt, signifying the power of great divine intervention gives a key from traditional mythology as to what can be expected when Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius and co ruler of Pisces, is at work. Pluto, ruler of Scorpio and God of the mysterious world of shadows, has long been portrayed as a dragon; splendid, unfathomable … and potent and untouchable. Pluto has profound potential for both good and evil. When these two planets connect in the zodiac ….Wow!! Regenerate, improve, evolve, while vibrating to the pervasive sense of divine reality can occur. Philosophical beliefs, education, breaking old restrictions with improved methodologies in various way are what we can expect. The Sabian Symbol for the conjunction and the fixed star Sinistra, which hovers nearby, provide further clues. Both factors will highlight the Jupiter-Pluto merger. Sinistra is a small twinkle in the

The Rare Super Full Moon in Gemini

November 24, 2007

By Dikki-Jo Mullen, Astrologer and Parapsychologist

Fast food meals aren’t the only thing that can be super sized! When the Full Moon falls at perigee, meaning that it is exceptionally close to the Earth, it is called a ‘Super Moon’! Higher tides, weather changes, outpourings of emotional and creative expression are all linked to the rare Super Moon. It’s the optimum time to go ghost hunting too. Paranormal energies peak. The veil to the afterlife thins … or is even totally drawn aside. On Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend, at 9:30 AM EST on November 24, 2007, one of these Super Full Moons will take place. It is at 1 degree Gemini 55 minutes. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is Santa Claus filling stockings. Spiritual and material values blend, enjoy and savor the richness of the world’s goods. The goal is to appreciate society’s favors in the richness of living daily life.

Uranus completes a long retrograde and Mercury will square Neptune on the day of the Super Lunation. It should be quite a weekend! Sudden changes of direction, the need to separate truth from fantasy and illusion while developing a constructive creative outlet is
