New Moon in Virgo - August 25-26-27/2014 //
Time for New Routine + Procrastination Free


Because of the two sheaves of wheat, one of which is marked by the bright star Spica, Virgo constellation is representing fertility from Babylonian times on. In Greek and Roman culture, Virgo is associated to their goddess of wheat and agriculture - Demeter/ Ceres.

Astrology wise, when the New Moon falls under the constellation of Virgo - 
it can bring a lot of new fruits. The questions are : have we grown enough?
                                                                          is our product ready yet?
                                                                          are we ready?
If not, it is time to patiently plan steps toward prosperity and understand the natural process of each thing first. Step by step.

We also have the New Moon in Virgo conjucting the Sun in Virgo- which doubles the organizing and being disciplined.

We started a seeding process from March 21th this year. The aliment of the Sun and Moon in Aries were impulsive and unpredictable at the start, bringing us a lot of changes.
Somehow, from 21th of March on, we started a new year, where we constantly got to know the Conscious (Sun) and Unconscious (Moon) sides of ourselves. 
The beginning of each Sign (starting from Aries on) - governed by Sun/Moon conjunction- is enhancing the energy of the sign
Like that, it is showing us how to incorporate it in our everyday living- the structure of the sign involved- by working on the things that the sign emanates as something important.

In Virgo, it is about hard work and serving others. Being humble. Have order. Understand nature, animals and plants. Appreciate health and have healthy habits.
By doing that, we can gain the Sun and Moon Gems and Gifts. Gain the Spica fruit.






          Virgo as depicted in Urania's Mirror, a set of constellation cards published in London c.1825.





When Moon is in Virgo - it is usually time of being hard on ourselves. Then our confidence start to suffer. The Mercurial Maiden is thinking of what have she been doing so far and what to do next, and is making us ask ourselves those questions. 
Wherever she resides in our chart- we may be highly critical of our flaws and feel inertia.  
New Moon is time to let go of the self-sabotage way and start to do things the best you can.  
Relax and then - DO!

PERSEIDS// Those born of Perseus and Andromeda // 


Peak of Meteor Shower - AUGUST 12/13 -2014 



 

 

 

 

               From Masterpieces of Industrial Art & Sculpture at the International Exhibition, 1862,
                                            Day & Son, London, Lithographers to the Queen


The Perseid meteor shower, one of the brighter meteor showers of the year, occur every August, peaking around August 9-13. Consisting of tiny space debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle, the Perseids are named after the constellation, Perseus. This is because, their radiant or the direction of which the shower seems to come from,
lies in the same direction as Perseus. The constellation lies in the north-eastern part of the sky, so the meteor shower is mostly visible in the northern hemisphere.

As with many meteor showers, the visible rate is greatest in the pre-dawn hours, since the side of the Earth nearest to turning into the sun scoops up more meteors as the Earth moves through space. Most Perseids disappear while at heights above 80 kilometres (50 mi).

On August 10th 2014. - we can also see the Full Moon reaching the point in its orbit that is closest to the Earth, known as perigee. The supermoon will be up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons during the year.
The Lunar light my take off some backdrop required to see faint meteors, but it will still be an divine celestial show to see. Enjoy!

Neptune sextile Pluto sexile Mars // Mars Trine Neptune -

I have chosen to depict Neptune in Pisces with the abstract painting of Gerhard Richter - "Sea".
Neptune in Pisces is "at home" after 160 years of travelling trough other signs which were not his own. Influenced by other signs, different knowledge and landscapes, Neptune is finally at home to rest and digest the gained experiences, in order to better understand himself.
The sea - the unconscious, the depth, the immense fluidity, the womb, empathy and grace, the need for love, for poetry and subtle mannerism, the illusion and unstabillity of our life, the faith - is bringing in front of all of us, the final introspection reflected in the water / mirroring back our souls.

Pluto in Capricorn is a goat, an Underworld Devil- abducting and pushing us to experience fear, trauma. The death of our old selfs and the transmutation- into a person aware of the fragility of life.
Becoming the servant of the depths, of the earth, the soil - is the only way of preserving our life and sanity, helping and nurishing ourselfs and others in this sprouting fragility.
Bernini's Persephone is like that rapresenting - immortality and the eternal growth gained after sacrificing our freedom and comodity.

The German word- Schorck-, a variant of Schurke "villain, scoundrel",  was later applied to the fish due to its predatory behaviour. The texture of shark skin depicts the cold porosity.
Like other fish, sharks extract oxygen from seawater as it passes over their gills.
Unlike other fish, shark gill slits are not covered, but lie in a row behind the head. A modified slit called a spiracle lies just behind the eye, which assists the shark with taking in water during respiration and plays a major role in bottom–dwelling sharks.
While the shark is moving, water passes through the mouth and over the gills in a process known as "ram ventilation". While at rest, most sharks pump water over their gills to ensure a constant supply of oxygenated water.
The respiration and circulation process begins when deoxygenated blood travels to the shark's two-chambered heart.
Mars in Scorpio - (where Mars is at home/ but in a water element), is the symbol of willpower, fierceness and the killer instinct coming from within, from observing and making strategies and then taking action.
Even if the animal is vile and cold, the Shark skin is still porosive and is showing us the capacity to absorb the sea/ unconscious, and like that, communicate with the neptunian ideals. Our ideals and the God who is directing us.

The religious war in Gaza is one unfortunate example of acting - but on a personal level - Mars in Scorpio Trine Neptune in Pisces- can annulate the negative aspects of each planet  and reinforce us to act on more empathic level - with a vituous heart.
In order to do that, we will first have to purify our water / subconscious - from toxicity of our everyday thoughts and feelings.
