Lunar Occultation

We just experienced a beautiful Full Moon in Pisces, on September 2nd. By September 6, it is still in fiery Aries, not Full but still buoyant. As we know, its orbit around Earth is not circular, rather elliptical; basically, more egg shaped that circle. On September 6, at 12:46 a.m. EDT – 04:46 a.m. GMT, in South Europe, America and West Africa, you will be able to observe the Lunar Occultation of Mars. In essence, as seen from Earth, the Moon will pass in front of Mars and hide it from view. In astrology an occultation has the impact of an eclipse. In itself, not as powerful, but in combination with

Virgos work hard. We work hard to destroy the planet. If we reverse our actions, we will work hard to fix it.

According to the Greek Mythology, Astrea, was an immortal virgin (referring to purity of heart not physical) goddess, the last one to live among humans. She lived during the Golden Age of the human kind. The ancient Greek poet Hesiod, wrote about the five ages of human kind, beginning with the golden age, a time of prosperity and harmony, down to the iron

Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn

On July 5, there is a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn. Take advantage of its strength. as Capricorn is an earthy, ambitious, ‘go getter’ force. Want to reach your goals and be your own Olympic champion? Get on the drawing board, get organized, roll your sleeves up and get to work! If this Lunar Eclipse is a surfer, Mars in aggressive Aries, is the wave that will carry it all the way to January 6, 2021. Just like the sea, the ride will be fun, exciting, and at times testy. Besides skills, what helps a surfer stay on the board, catch and ride that perfect wave? Balance. What makes her/him a winner? Sportsmanship. Play hard but play fair. Enjoy the ride!

Juneteenth – Freedom Day

June 19, 2020June 19, 2020
by helen timms

155 years ago, on June 19th, General Gordon Granger, announced in Galveston, Texas that all people held as slaves, were free. To break the actual metal chains, that bound a person to slavery in order to free them, is a condition we can all understand. Why, in that case, is this gesture not enough to secure their freedom? Racism still plagues, not just the United States of America but the entire planet. Perhaps, the root of the need to control and enslave people, hides in the emotional chains that keep us attached to self-destructive tendencies, due to an extreme level of insecurity. Insecurities that plague us from childhood. Let them go. Set yourself free. Then, we can all enjoy, true freedom.

Young New Moon or Shawwal Moon

Although the New Moon occurred on May 22nd, its thin, crescent shape was not visible from Earth, as we can see only one side of our Moon, due to their in-sync rotation. As it moves away from the Sun, the Moon should be visible tonight, on May 24th, near Venus that shines in the western sky at dusk January 1st to May 24th (source www.space.com). Hope you catch a glimpse of it! This siting is also important to Muslims world wide, as it marks the ending of Ramadan. They call this New Moon, Shawwal Moon.
