The sole contact today is the Lunar Eclipse, occurring on the Full Moon timed for 5:55 pm at 13°43' Aquarius. Even though this is a culmination of energy and illumination, the tension continues to build as the Moon heads toward the planets in late degrees.
In Washington DC, the chart for the eclipse occurs at 8:39 pm, 16 minutes before the exact Full Moon. Both charts have late Aquarius and the Aquarian triple conjunction rising. Because these planets are angular, their effect is magnified. Because Obama so symbolizes these planets for the nation, it is likely that the president will be seen as the key to who we are now, and that his actions on and around this eclipse will be seminal to where the nation heads next. With Jupiter as the strongest planet at the time of the eclipse, (and opposing his Uranus-North Node conjunction), he could show strength and leadership. However, Chiron-Neptune are also involved, and they will challenge him to get over a need to please that has thus far undercut his ability to prevail politically. What’s more, this eclipse/Full Moon falls on the day after President Obama’s birthday and one degree away from his Sun-Neptune square. This emphasizes the process of developing political fortitude. He has been responding by becoming the salesman-in-chief to meet the challenge, a necessary step if he wants his policy on healthcare to be represented in the bill that is being developed by Congress. This may mark the beginning of a tougher stance toward conserva-Dems and whining Republicans.
The Sabian Symbol for 14° Aquarius is, "A long and heavy train climbs the steep mountain grade and at last a tunnel offers a shortcut to the other side." (ME Jones version) We are all carrying a burden up a steep mountain in some way, something that makes us feel heavy and tired. We have the opportunity now to "cut across" the wheel of karma with this situation and lighten our load more quickly, but it entails making a journey where we will not be able to see our progress or where we are headed. We must accept on faith that we are being taken to the destination we have been seeking (or a better one). Even if we are disappointed in the turns of events in the world, we can trust that the universe will lead us to a better, if currently unknown, place.
THURSDAY AUGUST 6
The wake of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse brings warm tides as the Moon trines Mars, then conjoins Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune by the end of the work day. The dilemmas and challenges that have presented themselves since the New Moon Solar Eclipse on July 21 may not all be resolved today, but we can see possible roads to resolution. At 5:20 pm, the Moon goes void of course, giving us a welcome evening of relaxation and recovery.
FRIDAY AUGUST 7
At 2:34 am the Moon enters Pisces, reactivating our motivations and inspiring action based on the inner reality that Pisces is so attuned to. Insights are gained as Moon sextiles Pluto before we rise, then expressed as she opposes Mercury all day. A late trine to Venus is capped off by a Mercury-Venus sextile, filling the day with the perfect harmony of head and heart. We can use this pattern very productively for both action and understanding.
SATURDAY AUGUST 8
The Moon continues to transit Pisces, hooking up with Mars by square and Saturn by opposition late in the day. This brings stress that presages our experiences early in the week when the impending Mars-Saturn square will reach exactitude. There’s no sense worrying about things we can do little about now. Putting the issue on the back burner will give a painlessly derived new perspective by Monday morning.
SUNDAY AUGUST 9
The Moon completes its active period in Pisces with a punch as it makes a conjunction to Uranus, then goes void-of-course at 5:44 am. Early morning restlessness may disrupt our desire to sleep late but bring new ideas for successful outcomes. Until the Moon enters Aries at 1:23 pm, we may prefer to relax rather than take on new projects, but we can be more industrious since the Moon performs in Pisces. The mid-afternoon is punctuated by a Moon square to Pluto, giving us clues to coming transformative events. We may gain important understanding of how to manage events that will come up in September.
MONDAY AUGUST 10
We feel lively and optimistic as the Moon moves further through Aries. The day is not without its excitement, as she squares Venus and gives us another perspective on our recent relationship challenges. We may not have time to pay attention to that, however, as Mars finally reaches its square to Saturn. Disorganization may meet with deadline to create critical mass and a scramble to manage our affairs with more structure and neat

August 1st Through 10th
http://www.daykeeperjournal.com/calendar.shtml Since the 1990s, August has been a month of tension and transition, and this August continues the pattern (which will go on until the outer planets clear Pisces). However, this year brings drama multiplied because of nearly simultaneous contacts to the triple conjunction in Aquarius. It’s "triple your pleasure, triple your fun" in mid-month, just like in January and May.
This occurs as our government seems set for a sea change. Obama, who is the personification of the nation’s hope (and the Aquarian planets), has to decide whether he is willing to use the bully pulpit to accomplish what he wants and knows is right for the US. Will he stand up for real healthcare reform (with a public option)? Will he push for an environmental regulation bill that doesn’t strip the EPA of its power and put the power of carbon regulation in the unregulated hands of Wall Street? Will he fire up the people so that the legislators are forced to look past the moneyed lobbyists who threaten them with political death? On the political level, this is the showdown that is coming into form.
It is doubtful that Congress will take its recess on the 3rd, with the pressure to pass a healthcare bill before they leave. This put them in session as the planetary crescendo begins to build.
Our internal tension is amplified whenever two or more heavy planets (Jupiter and beyond) are activated at the same time. This erupts into external events as we attempt to relieve the tension. We want change, we ache for change to stave off or relieve unpleasant circumstances—or resist the changes we fear will come.
This is understandable as the Sun reaches its opposition to the outer planets, which are lined up in Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. This makes June, August, and September times of turmoil year after year, when we’d like to be relaxing and enjoying warm days and balmy nights. In late June, the Sun opposed Pluto in Capricorn; in August it opposes Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune in Aquarius; in September, Uranus in Pisces. In between is a series of quincunxes that precede and follow the oppositions, assisting in the preparation for the opposition, then debriefing us and pushing us into disseminating our new understanding into the world.
In August, we will learn something we never knew before. Since Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune came together we have the opportunity to heal our Great Wound. We are experiencing this on an individual level, for sure; but we may also participate in it on a group, even a world level if we look beyond on our own four walls. Many people are in the midst of deep internal change, and August will be a turning point in the process. We have the opportunity to decide how much we are willing to take on, how much we will get out of this pattern, with the choices we make this month.
On August 5, we have the third of three eclipses, a "weak" penumbral eclipse similar to that in July. However, as we found, this was anything but weak in its power to effect our lives because of the planets co-involved. This month will be little different, as the Sun reaches toward its oppositions on August 14–17.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of quincunxes to go around, and the fast planets carry water for the slow ones, completing contacts that are not quite exact. Powerful times means the potential for great change exists. If the planets were in weaker formations, we would not have the leverage to create what needs to happen now in our lives. Quincunxes are frequently associated with health issues because we experience more stress when we feel "in between." We may feel as though there’s something just beneath the surface that needs to come out but we can’t get to it. Emotions are often the tool by which we can bridge the gap between inner and outer realities.
Given its speed, we are never far from a Mercury retrograde. Mercury enters its retrograde zone on August 16, but we won’t feel it until it slows down perceptibly about a week later. This sets up two story lines that will play out in September and October, but they begin in mid-August, so be aware of what you are projecting with your thoughts then (as always). During its retrograde, Mercury feeds back to us what we have done with our focus, and the ante is high this time because of the number of contacts it makes.
One of Mercury’s contacts will be Pluto, which is very slow now and stations to direct motion in early September. Observe your experiences when it makes its first square to Pluto on the August 26, as this will feed one of the key story lines for you in September-October. This will also play out in a particular way in world affairs and national politics. We will see the impact economically, as Mercury tracks over the Venus-Jupiter conjunction of the US chart, as a waver in the recovery. This could be good news if the strategists finally become convinced that no recovery is safe without substantial new regulation.
There is a chance for this. Mercury also makes an early reconnection between Saturn and Uranus, the planets that sponsored last fall’s economic collapse. If the Uranian stimulus package is followed up with Saturnian regulation, the next downward shift will not be as deep.
Once again, because the outer planets are at the ends of their signs (except for Pluto), the action times occur when the fast planets reach the later degrees. This means that this month the Moon will often transit empty sky in the early-to-mid degrees of a sign.

Following the August eclipse I am being shown changes of great depth as each of us alings with our true state of harmonic resonance. This resonant vibration will account for the many miracles and divine synchronicites that will fulfill the lives of all who valinatly participated in this noble venture and journey into oneness.
And keep in mind that although many soul groups (not all) have been responsible for much of the planetary grid clearing while connected to the 3d dimensional hologram since 2000/2001, this was just part of our J O B and once we are freed from these reality structures through completion of our soul contracts, we will no longer be fettered by these celestial events and astrological happenings. In other words, we will be residing in a vibration that is no longer "bound by the governance of earthly (karmic) law"...as Metatron put it.
So until we integrate the energies from the next lunar eclipse, be sure to take a much-needed rest to restore your biology and be super nurturing to your self (sleep when needed, drink lots of pure water, take walks in nature, soak your bones in sea salt baths, etc). Remember too that the as the heart center adjusts to these new frequencies it will require extra care...it is important to refrain from straining the heart through vigorous exercise/stress/or any kind of overzealous activity at this time.
Very soon we will be able to exhale, retire, quite our J O B's and LIVE as we had intended for so long. Our creativity, joy, passion and forward movement will return once again and we will be permanently and firmly anchored in our new and true home.
In the meantime....kick back, put on your 3D glasses, and enjoy the show!
