Yod
The Light of the world, our solar ambassador is standing
across the waters above and exactly opposing the Night Sky Empress who is
resplendent in her fullness, pregnant with her swim from the new moon solar
eclipse that took place on August 12th at 1:36PM EDT at 20°01’Leo.
Now, Luna finds herself engorged in the watery depths of Pisces just after
midnight (18 minutes) on August 28th when she is at 04°53’Pisces
embracing the North Node, Rahu who has just entered Aquarius and is now at 29°50’,
and the earth will cast a long shadow creating a scarlet glow that may drench
the moon in blood.
In Pisces, she can be weepy as she brings
up the depths of sadness with rivers of tears, memories and thoughts of loss,
what was, what will never be again.
And I will be using my www.ArcoftheAncient.com blends, like Royalty...and Ascension...RE-Member...
We are all living in these thoughts, consciously or subconsciously and since the 12th house of Pisces is where the subconscious can become viscerally palpable, delivering messages from the oceanic depths, that may all but sink some, at least temporarily. It is also the womb, taking you back home, rocking you in the embryonic nurturing and compassion of Pisces.
PERSPECTIVE
Let it wash over you, try not to let it drown you. For some, this could be overwhelming, so
might want to check in on your sensitive friends, or addicted souls, this can
definitely be a time to trigger deep emotions, and the wave, though temporary
(remind yourselves this) can seem like a tsunami for some.
Pisces/Virgo axis brings up routines, work, career,
passions, order, reorganizing, reusing, and how we spend our time,
Is your energy being used in the most beneficial and optimal way possible?
Pets and health are also issues that can stir up patterns and diet choices.
It can remind you of your own health choices and perhaps a visit to the doctor
is on the calendar.
Pay attention to your fluids, make sure we are hydrating (not drinks, but
water) and increase that hydration accordingly with higher temperatures and
activities that require more fluids.
Gas and oil prices will become a major topic and we all know the dire situation
with the Strait of Hormuz, that began in the spring eclipses and though we had
hoped the fall eclipse would be an ending window, unfortunately at the time of
this writing, there has been no mutually agreed upon resolutions forthcoming.
This magnifies the day-to-day movement of oil and gas, as
well as the other gases methane and helium for instance, as well as the
much-discussed fertilizer shortage, all of which are increasing prices around
the globe. Some countries are currently
paying a higher price than others, since they get a higher percentage of oil,
etc., through the Strait than other countries.
Japan for instance who were getting 80% of their gas and oil through the
Strait.
While the solar ambassador is in stride with the south node,
asking for closure on old habits, expressions, how we present ourselves,
leadership methods and what no longer works in the current changing times.
Who is really in charge?
Who is responsible? How are we
individually responsible and is there a way to organize a different approach
that might bring more desired results.
Along with these major implications and energy, we also have
Uranus at 5°37’ Gemini
forming a T Square to these lights. Uranus will station retrograde on September
10th at 05°Ge41'. SHOCKING TRUTH AND INSIGHTS
REVEALATIONS
Thinking about it all, Uranus in Gemini is perfectly staged to contemplate God, and
mans order or place in the world.
Especially as this is the last eclipse in Pisces in this series. We leave
the end of the Age of Pisces, and embark on a wholly new
landscape, that continues to be reshaped, shifting in front of our very eyes at
the dawn of this new Age of Aquarius.
“For it is man's function to contemplate the works of God. And for
this purpose he was made that he might view the universe
with wondering awe and come to know its maker.” Hermes Trismegistus
And contemplate God we will.
Pay special attention to just before you fall asleep and the
moment you AWAKEN, try to sit with that and gather the messages from God (and
those who have crossed over, loved ones, angels, saints). The liminal world of the noos.
The old-world crumbles, and nothing we are entering or even experiencing now, is anything we have ever managed or lived through before, not in this body and not for thousands of years as we have outlined astrologically in many blogs previously.
And yes, it can be frightening.
Because we don’t know…it’s the not knowing that pulls on the thread, especially
given the knowing we actually have. Fear
of the unknown.
Re-member, warned you we were going to war...not that I want this, I am just the messenger.
Things coming to a head now.
Devastating earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, (Vanuatu for
one) and earth changes, storms that are more vicious than ever.
We have cities and towns in this country right now, that are
underwater and have been without power for weeks in some cases.
So, Virgo is ever the prepared one, and this is a good time
to put emergency provisions and kits together.
Where are your flashlights, candles, generator, back up power, solar
recharging gadgets, food, dry goods, plans in place.
I am a gardener, and I grew up with gardening at our home
and at my dad’s store by the time I was a teenager.
I loved it.
It is so magical to grow food and to pick it and eat it. Foraging is a special kind of experience and
connection.
Mercury is also hanging out with our sun at 5°Leo, adding to
this T square.
So, there is all sorts of uncomfortable here.
It’s discomfort for growth, as unpalatable as that may sound, this is
where we are.

Saros Number 138 in Astrology
Saros 138 is an astronomical eclipse recurrence number assigned by NASA to a specific family of solar and lunar eclipses. In astrology, it is often paired with a named family (e.g., Saros 16 North) to give interpretive themes.
Saturn is also retrograde at 13°Aries forming a nice trine to Jupiter who is at 14° Leo, giving us some fire in the belly, to help put some incendiary low spark of high-heeled boys. Yes, that is from a song, just in case you get stuck in TRAFFIC.
Astronomical Background of this Saros cycle.
Type: Saros 138 is a lunar eclipse series in some contexts,
but in the solar eclipse family it is Saros 16 North www.augurine.com.
Cycle length: ~6,585.3 days (18 years 11 days 8 hours) Astro-Seek.com.
Series duration: ~1,280 years, with 71–73 eclipses Scullywag
Astrology.
Direction: Saros 16 North began at the North Pole and will continue into the future.
Inspiration, insight, and ideas emerging from beneath awareness www.augurine.com.
This means the eclipse family is read through the lens of:
Sudden flashes of understanding or creative insight.
Patterns or ideas that surface unexpectedly.
Like a volcano, coming up
from the deep, rumbling and then bursting into CONSCIOUSNESS.
This is why it is so
important to have some dream work and journalling experience.
The need to record and test these ideas, then act on those that remain coherent after the initial spark.
It is not a fixed prediction but a prompt to explore how such themes appear in your chart and life contextually.
Now let’s add some more ‘seasoning’.
Neptune retrograde 3°45’ Aries is forming a semi-sextile to Luna who is sitting in between Neptune and Pluto who is also retrograde at 03°35’ Aquarius and they form a YOD or finger of God (fate) to the sun and Mercury.
NOUS NOOS…
Neptune already likes to blur the lines, but the sun and mercury are on this finger point, putting your dreams and visions into action while the world is under TRANSFORMATION and WE ARE TOO.

surface in Earth’s umbral shadow) www.telescopeadvisor.com.

shadow. Sunlight refracted through Earth’s atmosphere bends red and orange

subtle glow, similar to a total lunar eclipse but just short of totality
Forbes+1.
How to Watch

and the last until 2028 before the next total eclipse in the same cycle Tech
Times. It also closes the 2025–2026 almost-tetrad of lunar eclipses, with three
totals and this near-total partial Tech Times.

toward the east or southeast, and you’ll see the Moon climb into the eclipse
just before or during maximum.
