Sept 1 through Sept 30 2017

Sept 4 from spaceweather.com:

 

SUNSPOT GENESIS: Two big sunspot groups are now facing Earth. Behemoth AR2674 has been growing for days, while newcomer AR2673 has suddenly quadrupled in size, with multiple dark cores breaching the surface of the sun in just the past 24 hours. The rapid development of these regions could herald Earth-directed flares in the days ahead. Visit Spaceweather.com for movies of sunspot genesis in action.

   

What does this mean for you? Sunspots can disrupt satellites that manage your cell phones. The energy is coming through the signs of Leo and Virgo, intensifying them. Aquarius and Pisces may experience strong relationships. Aries and Sagittarius may be spurred for creativity or travel. Taurus and Capricorn begin practical projects. in the USA chart, the degrees of Leo and Virgo sit in the ninth house of foreign nations. Since these are Sun flares, the energy may heat up the atmosphere. 

Sorry to be late, but Hurricane Harvey had and still has my attention. My prayers and heart, as are yours, are to everyone experiencing the situation.

It is heartwarming to see the heroic deeds done by neighbors, strangers and the military, rescuing people and pets. Let us hope Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath unites Americans. Some of the Harvey rescued pets came to the state of Delaware, where I live and are already being adopted. 

Sept. 2: The day the hurricane dissipated. Mars is at the same degree as the Great American Eclipse of Aug 21, and in good relationship with Uranus. News of heroism with the Hurricane Harvey situation abounded, using creative ways to rescue people and animals.

The Eclipse happened in between the dates Saturn is in opposition to Mars in the sky in the USA chart, which is from 8/9 through 9/9/2017. This portends storms. Christopher Columbus had recorded in his ship's logs that Saturn and Mars were to be in square in the sky and ordered his ships at safe anchor, and there was a big storm. We certainly had a big storm hit the Gulf Coast and another big storm forming in the Atlantic. My forecast had been for deadly force involving a foreign country. Well, we had both, with North Korea saying they exploded an underground hydrogen bomb.

Sept 3: Mercury and Mars both at the eclipse point, indicating continued news about the hurricane and North Korea. Personally, Leo is strong today with creative ideas and communication. Aquarius could experience stubborn relationships, along with Taurus and Scorpio. Aries and Sagittarius have good communication. Gemini and Libra have the opportunity to be included in creative or social activities. Cancer and Virgo are neutral; Capricorn and Pisces adjust to minor changes. Also today, the Sun and Moon are in the see-saw relationship, with the day not being what is expected, asking you to adjust. Aquarius and Virgo are the most affected. Gemini and Libra can help Aquarius; Taurus and Capricorn can help Virgo.

Sept 5: Mercury goes direct at 07;29:18 am ET at the same degree as the eclipse, with more news about Hurricane Harvey and North Korea. Personally, your equipment may function now, and it is safer to sign documents. Virgo can be happy with their details.  Mars goes into Virgo through October 22. Virgo is activated, Pisces may believe they are being pushed and evade relationships; Taurus and Capricorn have successful practical projects; Cancer and Scorpio have the opportunity for good practical projects. Leo and Libra are neutral; Aquarius and Aries adjust to requests for details. Gemini and Sagittarius can be irritated with requests for details. Also, Leo experiences evasion in relationships, and the one in authority is pushing for practical results and is evaded. The weather is weird and there could be rain.

Sept 6: full Moon in the signs of Pisces and Virgo, who are the most affected. Emotions are tearful. Gemini and Sagittarius are irritated with over-emotional and under-emotional people. The areas of the body for this full Moon are the eyes & feet, and the upper colon or bottom of the stomach. Cancer and Scorpio can help Pisces, with Taurus and Capricorn helping Virgo.

Sept 8: see-saw day when it does not go as expected. If you are flexible and adjust it will be better. Aries is stymied by Virgo. Implosive projects are checked by pesky details. These days can have interruptions, with the interruptions beneficial.

Sept 9: another see-saw day, this time between Leo and Capricorn. Creative or expensive projects or activities are moderated by the realistic budget. The established person is stronger. However, the person in authority is realistic and their practical project has support and is successful. Good between Virgo and Capricorn. Taurus is also having a good day. Mercury goes into Virgo through Sept. 29, joining the Sun and Mars. Virgo becomes more communicative, offering details. Pisces may be asked for details (not to their liking), Taurus and Capricorn have good communications. Cancer and Scorpio have the opportunity for detail-oriented communication, Leo and Libra are neutral; Aquarius and Aries adjust to details or everyday activities. Gemini ad Sagittarius irritated by requests for details or working.

Sept 10: nice Sun and Moon, indicating a pleasant day, especially for Taurus and Virgo, followed by Capricorn. Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces have the opportunity for pleasant practical activities if they accept an invitation. Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius may be bored

Sept 12: good day for creative projects. Your loved one may be surprisingly romantic and grounded at the same time. Great day for Leo and Sagittarius, followed by Aries. The air signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius enjoy a nice social day, possibly with a dramatic social event.

Sept 12 USA: a lot of communication about money. If it has not already been passed, it could be Congress approves the very large appropriation of monies for Hurricane Harvey relief, with the announcement from the President's office. Another possibly is announcement of situation with allies or an enemy. Let us hope it is monies for the hurricane relief.

Sept 13: challenging day. Quarter Moon in the signs of Gemini and Virgo, who are irritated with each other, possibly including Sagittarius and Pisces. A day of minor interruptions and changes. Also, the one in authority is challenging the established one, with no agreement. Very challenging day for these signs. Taurus and Capricorn can help Virgo, with Libra and Aquarius helping Gemini, Aries and Leo helping Sagittarius.

Sept 15: better day, with opportunity for harmony. The Sun and Moon are in harmony, in the signs of Cancer and Virgo, meaning emotions are steady, with family situations good. Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus and Capricorn have a nice day. Also, social activities are beautiful, fun and harmonious. Leo and Libra have the opportunity to cooperate for a diplomatic affair or a beautiful event. Your loved one is demonstrative and cooperative.

Sept 16: Mercury and Mars are together, indicating assertive communication from Virgo or about detailed plans. Pisces feels pushed, with Gemini and Sagittarius irritated with requests for details. Taurus and Capricorn have a good day, with Cancer and Scorpio given the opportunity to be involved. Leo and Libra are neutral. Aquarius and Aries adjust to details.

Sept 18: creative, fun day with a change of pace and a good day to do something different with friends. A harmonious day. Especially good for Leo, Aries and Sagittarius, followed by Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

Sept 19: Venus goes into Virgo through October 14, joining the Sun, Mercury, and Mars. A Virgo day, indeed. Venus, the planet of love and money, is not happy in Virgo because it is restricted. Expect your loved one to be more introverted and maybe withdrawn. Expenditures are now restricted, too. However, it is great for Virgo, but Pisces yet again feels either pushed or irritated with requests to be detailed, practical or work. Taurus and Capricorn enjoy the quiet and practical nature of the planets. Cancer and Scorpio can accept opportunities for practical or quiet endeavors. Leo and Libra are neutral. Aquarius and Aries adjust to the quietness, details and perhaps more work. Virgo loves to work. Oh, this is a good time to purchase a lawn mower or vacuum cleaner. Also, communication is not satisfactory; requests may be ignored or too vague. Communication will be better on the 22nd.

Sept 20: new Moon in Virgo, whew! A lot of Virgo. Work is good today as long as details are paid attention to. Good day for Virgo to finally begin the procrastinated project. Pisces experiences opposition and may disappear. Wonderful for Taurus and Capricorn, with Cancer and Scorpio again having the opportunity for successful practical endeavors. A see-saw day with minor changes regarding details, change and impulsiveness. The day does not go as expected, but when accommodated to the interruptions, it is better.

Sept 22: fuzzy communications on the 19th clear up today. Great day for talking and planning details and reorganization. Virgo and Capricorn are effective, with Taurus grounding the project. Pisces may experience demands, Cancer may experience a challenging relationship.

Sept 22: first day of fall with the Sun going into Libra at 04:01:44 pm ET. Virgo can rest, Libra gets activated. Aries may experience relationship challenges, followed by Cancer and Capricorn. Gemini and Aquarius have good relationships and social times. Leo and Sagittarius have opportunities for communication, maybe travel and parties. Virgo and Scorpio are neutral, with Pisces and Taurus adjusting to impulsive activities.

Sept 23: USA: repeat of 8/14/17: rebellion and chaos from groups, perhaps ostensibly over money, but in reality for the sake of rebellion. This could be in effect for several days on either side of the 23rd. This ends 4/1/18when the rebellious cycle ha its last focus. Let us hope the rebellion ends. There is calming on the 27th and 30th of September, but the cycle goes through 4/1/18.

Sept 24: there could be copious rain, flooding and mud. Practical projects are stalled because of incomplete or missing information. The one in charge is pushing against a symbolic fog. Personally Virgo is trying to get something done, but is unsuccessful because everything is incomplete and missing. Pisces feels pushed and disappears. Taurus and Capricorn can help Virgo, with Cancer and Scorpio helping Pisces.

Sept 25: testy and challenging communication, with the detail person challenging the one in charge of long-term projects and is unsuccessful. Today can be an irritating day. Virgo is trying and is blocked because the details are not welcome today. Taurus and Capricorn can help Virgo, with Aries and Leo helping Sagittarius. However, the Sun and Moon are good, meaning emotions are harmonious. Sagittarius and Libra can help the entire situation.

Sept 27: quarter Moon in the signs of Capricorn and Libra who are challenged, followed by Cancer and Aries. Busy day with impulsive interruptions. Taurus and Virgo can calm Capricorn, with Gemini diplomatically soothing Libra and Aquarius helping with friendly advice.

Sept 27 USA: the President or the Executive Branch expands money for the country and population. Good feelings in the country.

Sept 28: Pluto goes direct at 16 Capricorn 51. If you have a 16 or 17 degree planet, ascendent or midheaven, it will be activated; how depending upon the aspect. Communication is changeable with detail changing as the day goes forward. Jupiter in opposition to Uranus, a repeat of 12/26/16 and 3/2/17. The December date saw gangs of teens fighting in the malls. Demands for freedom. Diplomacy or negotiation not paid attention to. Personally, Libra can be the catalyst for action and change. Aries may be opposed, with Cancer and Capricorn having a challenging day full of impulsive interruptions. Gemini and Aquarius can help Libra calm from a rare tantrum; Leo and Sagittarius can help Aries respond instead of react.

Sept 28 USA: challenges to finances that could get out of hand. The executive branch is challenging a powerful entity, trying to use diplomacy that may not work. A lot of activity without a solution until the 30th.

Sept 29: warm rain and mud. Your loved one is interested in work, not escape. Money could be spent on unsatisfactory items. Virgo may be more openly affectionate, with their object of desire unavailable. Romantic relationships may be fun, but fleeting. However, Taurus and Capricorn have quiet nice day.  Mercury goes into Libra through Oct 17. Communication turns to relationships, diplomacy and cooperation. Libra is more effective, but may be challenging Aries, with Cancer and Capricorn enjoying spirited conversations. Gemini and Aquarius have good communications, especially for social events; Leo and Sagittarius have opportunities for effective communication. Virgo and Scorpio are neutral, with Taurus and Pisces adjusting to bossiness. Yes, Libra is one of the assertive, bossy signs, albeit with nice speech.

Sept 30: nice, easy day, especially for the air signs of Aquarius, Libra and Gemini. Social events highlighted today, and good group activities.

Sept 30 USA: repeat of 6/7/17 and ends 3/27/18. Opportunity for the USA to resolve issues with emotional groups, money and finances. The opportunity may unexpectedly come from a group asking for change and freedom, but this is harmonious.

One of you asked if there had been a previous total solar eclipse in the past 100 years.

One of you asked if there had been a previous total solar eclipse in the past 100 years.

 1979 had a total solar eclipse on Feb. 26

The red line is the area of the total eclipse, which traveled from Portland up to Canada. There would have been areas of partial visibility as it traveled.  Wikipedia.com has a nice animation.

The eclipse was in the sign of Pisces, with Mercury and the south node joining in the same sign. Mars was at the last degree of Aquarius, in the quincunx/see-saw relationship with Jupiter. Mercury was a day past a square with Neptune in Sagittarius and a day past a trine with Uranus. This means the day before, February 25, would have seen a lot of wet weather with everybody adjusting, and innovative ways of coping.

•    The headline on the Feb. 27, 1979 issue of the Southeast Missourian was 3/4 inches tall and read: "New yardstick, blizzard of 1979." The entire front page was blizzard coverage. Missourian executive editor John Blue captured the essence of the disaster in just a few sentences: "Say nothing more about the snow of 1917-1918," he wrote. "Hereafter the yardstick will be the Great Blizzard of Feb. 25, 1979.

•    ‘A big dose of awe’: Last solar eclipse here, in 1979, changed Seattle author’s life. To read the full article, please go here: http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/science/a-big-dose-of-awe-last-solar-eclipse-here-in-1979-changed-seattle-authors-life/.

The person who asked for the interpretation wondered why there is so much attention to this August 2017 eclipse. Perhaps because it covers a wide swath of the United States instead of only the upper northwestern part as in 1979.

Eclipse facts

• A total solar eclipse occurs somewhere on Earth about every 18 months.
• The last coast-to-coast eclipse in the U.S. was 99 years ago.
• If the moon’s diameter were 6.5 percent smaller, a total solar eclipse could never happen.
• The last total solar eclipse visible in the Pacific Northwest occurred Feb. 26, 1979.
•    After this year, the next ones close to the Northwest will be Aug. 23, 2044, in eastern British Columbia and Aug. 12, 2045, in northern California and Nevada.
•    Duration of totality varies because the distances between the Earth, sun and moon vary. The longest eclipse lasts more than 7 minutes. This year’s will last between 2 and 2.7 minutes. Source: “Eclipse: History. Science. Awe,” by Bryan Brewer; NASA; space.com

August 1 through August 31, 2017

Full Moon or lunar eclipse Aug 7
Mercury retrograde Aug 12
Great American Solar Eclipse Aug 21
Degree of 21 repeats five times

The full interpretation of the Great American Solar Eclipse, including to the USA and the President is here: http://pattytheastrologer.blogspot.com/2017/07/corrected-great-american-eclipse-of.html

The eclipses focus on  Leo and Aquarius. Also, if you have a planet, your ascendent or midheaven at 21 degrees, it will be focused four times: Aug 13, Aug 18, Aug 22, Aug 25 and Aug 27. Explanations below. To enjoy a short explanation of how this can relate to your chart, please contact Patty.

Aug 1 is quiet.

Aug 2: nice day, especially for Leo and Sagittarius, followed by Aries. Quiet romance and creativity, but may be expensive.

Aug 3: Uranus goes retrograde at 28̊ Leo, the same degree as the solar eclipse. If this degree is related to a planet, ascendent or midheaven in your chart, you will notice change, which could be triggered by the eclipse. Change can be in the form of an opportunity, harmonious, or sudden if you are not prepared. How depends upon the type of relationship Uranus has with your chart.

Aug 4: challenging day of agreements, with the one trying to expand thwarted by the powerful, established one. Libra and Capricorn are busy and challenged to work with change regarding lawful agreements and restraint. Cancer and Aries are perhaps brought in, and will at least have a day full of impulsive interruptions. Gemini and Aquarius can help Libra; Taurus and Virgo can help Capricorn. The practical or traditional is the more powerful. Also a see-saw day with the Sun and Moon, meaning a day full of interruptions, especially for Capricorn and Leo.

Aug 5: unsatisfactory, see-saw day of interruptions where the creative is thwarted by evasion. Leo is trying to get something done and the other is either not there or evading. Pisces feels pushed and escapes. Things do not go as expected, but if you are flexible, it will be better. Aries and Sagittarius can help Leo let go of control, with Cancer and Scorpio helping Pisces emotions. Control or management does not work today.

Aug 7: full Moon eclipse, exact at 02:10:32 pm ET at 15̊ Aquarius 25'. If you have 14, 15 or 16 degrees of a planet, your ascendent or midheaven, it will be noticed as control issues, even if not recognized as such. Aquarius and Leo will be the most affected with relationship control issues, followed by Taurus and Scorpio.  Gemini and Libra can help Aquarius; Aries and Sagittarius can help Leo. For those of you in law enforcement and medicine, the areas of the body are calves of the legs, high blood pressure, the heart and upper back.

Aug 9: see-saw day where things do not go as expected, usually experienced as many interruptions asking you to adjust. When you do the unexpected is better. The one in authority is thwarted by the powerful, established one. Leo is trying to manage or control and needs to adapt to the powerful establishment. Creativity is not appreciated today. Extravagance is curbed by the budget. Leo and Capricorn are at odds with each other, and each needs to adjust. Aries and Sagittarius can help Leo, with Taurus and Virgo helping Capricorn.

Aug 10: communication of detail and the practical is good and accepted. Good day for Virgo and Cancer, who help each other with detail, family and food. Taurus, Capricorn, Scorpio and Pisces have an enjoyable day. Also, the manager of creative projects is pushing to no avail because of unavailability or evasion. This is a good day for Leo to engage in vacation-type activities. Creative or artistic people cannot be pushed today. Also again, opportunity for success if cooperation and agreements are made or honored. Leo and Libra have this opportunity, followed by Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini and Aquarius. However, the Sun and Moon are in the see-saw relationship, with activities not going to plan and asking  Pisces and Leo to adjust. This is easy for Pisces, less so for Leo. Cancer and Scorpio can help lead and manage Pisces, Aries and Sagittarius can help Leo let go of control.

Aug 12: Mercury goes retrograde at 11̊ Virgo 38'. For a full interpretation, click here. http://pattytheastrologer.blogspot.com/2017/07/there-is-another-eclipse-in-august-2017.html. Virgo is the patron planet, or ruler, of detail. Therefore, please triple-check everything to make sure the details are accurate.  Virgo will be the most affected, with irritating changes in detail, followed by Pisces who experiences demands for details, which is not to their liking. Gemini and Sagittarius can be irritated with requests for details also. This is an irritating Mercury retrograde for everyone, but if you are careful with details, expect and plan for changes, all will be okay. The Sun and Moon are in harmony, indicating good day for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Romance and creativity are quietly good, but please remember Mercury.

Aug 13: good day to plan and implement creative projects. The one in authority is effective and well received. Leo can manage effectively with future projects. Great day for Leo, Sagittarius and Aries. Aquarius may experience mild control issues. Gemini and Libra have the opportunity to be successful communicators of the project. The 21̊ is in Leo and Sagittarius. 

Aug 14: quarter Moon in the signs of Taurus and Leo, who experience financial control issues, followed by Scorpio and Aquarius. Virgo and Capricorn can help Taurus, with Aries and Sagittarius helping Leo. Quarter moons are usually experienced as challenging changes, so everyone will have a busy day with change.

Aug 15: stress between home and family and career. Cancer challenging Capricorn to pay attention to family. Aries and Libra challenged with family and work issues and a day of change. Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer, with Virgo and Taurus helping Capricorn. USA is a Cancer country and could be mildly challenging an ancient, established dictatorship.

Aug 16: see-saw day with war-like overtones. Mars and Pluto do not see eye to eye, each want to dominate, and each need to adjust to reality. The Leo country could be asking the dictatorship to adjust and we’ll see if it happens. Personally, Leo is trying to push Capricorn, or the manager/controller is pushing the established one to no avail. Again, each needs to accommodate the ideas of the other and either adjust or wait until another day. See-saw days are when things do not go as expected, and when you adjust, the day is better. So if Leo and Capricorn can adjust, their project goes better than expected. Aries and Sagittarius can help Leo, with Taurus and Virgo helping Capricorn.

Aug 17: be careful of spending too much on food, family or relationships. The normally quiet one is creating mild change. Day of impulsive change, especially for Cancer, who may be instigating to include Libra. Aries and Capricorn can be drawn in, but this should be good. If they need help, Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer, with Gemini and Aquarius helping Libra.

Aug 18: another see-saw day where things do not go as planned, especially for Sagittarius who sees a need to adapt to Cancer or the family. The degree is 21̊ Cancer and Sagittarius. Romance is off-balance today because of different outlooks. Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer, Leo and Aries can help Sagittarius.

Aug 20: good day with opportunity to put that creative project in motion. The manager is cooperative and balanced. Great day for Leo and Libra, who cooperate for a successful event. Also good for Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini and Aquarius. The efforts of the Leo nation are successful, with the vagueness of Aug 10 and the stubbornness of Aug 16 replaced with cooperation, or perhaps a mediator to achieve agreement.

Aug 21: the solar eclipse at 28̊ Leo 52', in trine or harmony with transiting Uranus, which is at 28̊ Leo 23'. Full interpretation, which includes the USA and the President, is here. http://pattytheastrologer.blogspot.com/2017/07/corrected-great-american-eclipse-of.html.

Leo is very strong, a catalyst for change and putting dramatic ideas forward. Aquarius can experience strong opposition, with Scorpio and Taurus challenged with control issues, possibly gasping at the expense. Leo expects to be obeyed and could be bossy. Aries and Sagittarius have a good day. Gemini and Libra have the opportunity to be diplomats; Cancer and Virgo are neutral. Capricorn and Pisces adjust to demands. If you have this degree in your chart, it will be noticed; how according to the relationship of the eclipse to your planets. If you would like a short interpretation, contact Patty.

Aug 22: the creative project that may have been stymied Aug 10 or Aug 16 goes toward successfully. The one in authority is harmonious and more cooperative. The Leo nation has success, calming things. The degree 21̊ is in Leo and Sagittarius. Great day for Leo, Sagittarius and Aries, with Gemini, Libra and Aquarius having the opportunity for communicators.

Aug 22: Sun goes into Virgo through September 22. Energy changes to practical and down-to earth with focus on detail and staying within budget. Virgo activates projects, Pisces experiences relationship difficulties because of requests for detail which is not their interest. Taurus and Capricorn experience practical projects going well. Cancer and Scorpio have the opportunity for inclusion in practical endeavors. Leo can rest from last month. Libra is neutral. Aquarius and Aries adjust to requests for detail. Gemini and Sagittarius are irritated with mundane and detailed activities.

Aug 24: mild changes in family plans which should be more fun than the original. Cancer is activating the change and challenges Aries who finds this fun. Libra and Capricorn can enjoy the changes because they enjoy challenges and change. If needed, Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer, with Leo and Sagittarius helping Aries.

Aug 25: Saturn goes direct at 21̊ Sagittarius 10', that repeating degree. Stalled projects or plans can now go forward and may be released Aug 27. The Moon is in Sagittarius and in good relationship with the Sun, suggesting a good day for everyone, and especially for Sagittarius and Libra, and Aries, Leo, Gemini and Aquarius.

Aug 26: Venus goes into Leo through Sept 19. Your loved one is more dramatic, romantic and maybe demanding. Purchases may be more expensive than expected. Leo is more demonstrative, with Aquarius experiencing demands for attention. Taurus and Scorpio, be aware of requests for expensive gifts and demands for attention. Aries and Sagittarius enjoy romance. Gemini and Libra have the opportunity for grand, romantic events. Cancer and Virgo are neutral. Capricorn and Pisces adjust to dramatic events and expense. Also today, Virgo is more communicative than usual, expressing practical ideas and projects.

Aug 27: quarter Moon in the signs of Capricorn and Libra, who experience challenges, followed by Aries and Cancer.  Also, the 21 degree is focused again, in the signs of Libra and Sagittarius, revealing the opportunity for diplomatic agreements with foreign nations. Even though the quarter Moon is a day of challenge and change, the 21-degree opportunity reveals a good day for cooperative endeavors for everyone, but especially for Libra and Sagittarius.

Aug 30: Sun and Moon getting along, revealing a pleasant day, especially for Aquarius, Libra and Gemini, the social ones. Enjoy good communications.

Aug 31: Mercury goes into Leo through Sept 29. Communication and conversation focused on the more dramatic, romantic, and expressive. Leo has the stage, with Aries and Sagittarius enjoying scintillating conversations. Aquarius may experience opposition because Leo wants to be noticed. Gemini and Libra enjoy creative conversations. Cancer and Virgo are neutral. Pisces and Capricorn adjust to others needing to be appreciated and noticed. Taurus and Scorpio annoyed with demands for attention and verbal control.

There is another eclipse in August 2017

There is another eclipse in August
Mercury goes retrograde August 12

The news is all about the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017, which is a new Moon eclipse on August 21 that can be seen in a swath across the United States. The solar eclipse is at 28̊ Leo 52'.

However, there is a full Moon eclipse on August 7. This full Moon eclipse is at 15̊ Aquarius 25'. This means the Moon will be in Aquarius with the Sun in Leo. Both Aquarius and Leo will feel it, with Taurus and Scorpio being drawn into control issues. The opposition reveals tension and control issues with or about group.  It could be personal control issues between friends. The areas of the body of this full Moon are the heart, blood pressure, and calves of the legs. It seems someone told me that heart-bypass surgery uses the veins or arteries of the calves for the heart.

There are no direct aspects to the eclipse, meaning it would be rather benign. Mars will come to 15̊ Leo August 12, possibly triggering your chart if you have that degree. Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Virgo on August 12, too, so it could be a crazy day.

You all know a full Moon is crazy. Eclipses are triggers if you already have an aspect or relationship with a transiting planet to your natal chart. Look at your chart to see if you have any planet, your ascendent or midheaven at 14, 15, or 16 degrees. It will be set off by the full Moon eclipse. If you want your personal interpretation, contact Patty, either via email or her phone at 302-378-0579..

The United States ends a dangerous transit between August 9 and September 9 that had its first focus date December 31, 2016. Neither eclipse is at the exact degree of this transit, but the fact that the full Moon is a few days prior, and the solar eclipse in the middle of the transit could trigger the event. This could be a strong opposition to an enemy. I had written previously it could be opposition from a deadly and ancient foreign power. However, it could be the opposite: USA reaction to that power in self defense.

You know how a retrograde Mercury is. Since it is in Virgo, be vigilant with any details, especially financial and for travel. Virgo is the sign of details, with Mercury the patron planet of contracts, agreements and communication. Triple-check everything, expect minor changes and you will be okay. I tell the story of flying on a Mercury retrograde date, and there were changes to the airline, but I arrived an hour early. Since I like adventures, it was fun for me. Mercury goes direct September 5 at the degree of the solar eclipse, which is 28̊ Leo 25', indicating a trigger of that eclipse.

If you would like a short interpretation of either or both eclipses to your chart, please contact me, either via email or my personal phone 302-378-0579. Your interpretation can be over the phone or via email.

Corrected Great American Eclipse of August 2017

The time of the totality, and if you can see it, depends upon where you live.  Below is the map of the path, with the red line the path of the totality. Google has an interactive eclipse site with a lot of information, including the exact times and places of the totality. They list cities in each of the following states which will experience the totality and also lists how far north or south you may travel if you are a close to the totality. To read the exact times and places of the eclipse, please click here: please click here http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/in_the_path.htm. The states where the totality can be seen: Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina. he A.R.E, or Edgar Cayce organization is going to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, Edgar Cayce's birthplace, where the eclipse will be total.

The astrology of the eclipse. To receive a short explanation of the eclipse to you and your horoscope, contact Patty via email via email or her phone at 302-378-0579 USA. Eclipses serve as catalysts or triggers to whatever else is happening.  The degree of this New Moon eclipse is 28̊ Leo 52', which is trine with Uranus in the sky at 28̊ Aries 23'. For you who like math, a trine is a 120̊ angle and is considered beneficial. During your session with me, you would hear me say "you are in the right place at the right time" and describe your situation. This should be a situation where change is beneficial and relatively easy. Mars will come to this degree on September 3. Retrograde Mercury comes to this degree September 2, goes direct September 5, finally leaves the 28-degree mark on September 8. This  means the effects of the eclipse could be delayed or repeated. The other celestial happening is Venus is in the see-saw (quincunx) relationship with the South Node, indicating an adjustment to past freedom issues. Personal indications: If you have a 27, 28 or 29 degree planet, your ascendant or midheaven, you will feel the eclipse or trigger. How it will trigger your chart depends upon what the aspect, or planetary relationships are. If your degree is in Sagittarius, the eclipse catalyst will be wonderful, if in Aries or Leo you are the catalyst. If your degree is in Aquarius, expect strong opposition; if in Scorpio or Taurus, strong control issues. Cancer and Virgo are neutral. Capricorn and Pisces would be adjusting to much bossiness; Gemini and Libra would have the opportunity to be the diplomats. Remember that Uranus, the catalyst or changer,  is at the same degree as the eclipse in the sign of Aries. If you are an Aries, you are the catalyst; if Libra you experience relationship challenges; if Cancer or Capricorn, challenging situations involving change. If you are a Leo or Sagittarius, Uranus is bringing you beneficial, relatively easy change. If you are a Gemini or Aquarius you experience opportunities for beneficial change, but you must act. If you are a Pisces or Taurus, you are neutral. If you are a Virgo or Scorpio you are adjusting to unexpected change to the unnecessary in your life leaving. The above interpretation is only for one planet or point in your chart. Other planetary relationships are influencing your chart, too. For a complete personal interpretation, please contact Patty via email or her personal phone at 302-378-6466. As an example, in my chart, natal Pluto is at 28 degrees Cancer, in direct challenge with transiting Uranus and neutral with the eclipse. However, since the eclipse is in good relationship with Uranus in the sky, the challenge to the areas of my life signified by Pluto will be apparent. I will be vigilant. USA The eclipse is in the USA house of foreign nations and one degree from opposing the USA Moon, bringing strong full-Moon opposition from foreign nations. Retrograde Mercury in the eclipse chart squares the USA Uranus, indicating challenging news from the same source; Venus in the eclipse chart brings some relief by being conjunct the USA natal Mercury, indicating possible good news or at least good communication regarding allies, agreements or finances. The last time transiting Uranus challenged the USA Pluto was Sept. 20, 1934, Dec. 27 1934 and Jan 16, 1935. However... transiting Saturn continues to oppose the USA Mars strongly on August 8 and through September 9, revealing deadly opposition from an idealistic enemy with an ancient culture. Transiting Uranus continues to be in square with the USA Pluto, revealing continuing rebelliousness within the USA. The rebellious situation looks like it  will continue through April of 2018. Add the opposition of the eclipse to the USA Moon, there could be some strong over-emotional over-reactions on August 21. To President Trump: The eclipse is one degree conjunct his ascendant in his twelfth house, indicating activity behind the scenes regarding allies. Since the eclipse is two degrees within conjoining his natal Mars in the twelfth house, this activity could be regarding a war of a foreign nation. Venus in the eclipse chart is in between President Trump's natal Saturn and Venus, indicating somewhat favorable rapport with groups and good press, if that is possible. Mars will conjunct his ascendant September 4, indicating he initiates activity brought to light on the day of the eclipse. Retrograde Mercury goes direct September 5, hovering on his ascendant through September 9. This means that whatever happens on the day of the eclipse could be furthered on these dates, with communication from him. Transiting Saturn is stuck conjunct President Trump's Moon, revealing continued push for, and resistance to, stability through August 30.  Not related to the eclipse, President Trump is experiencing transiting Saturn opposing his natal Sun that was exact on Jan 14, focused on July 7 and continues through October 11, 2017. This reveals the continued deadly opposition to his very person, and his position, let alone his pride. We are in tumultuous times. Let us pray, and act as we pray, for the highest good of all.

July 1 through July 31 2017

Let each individual know that it came into life with a purpose from God. Let each individual know that it is as a harp upon which the breath of God would play. Edgar Cayce reading 381-60. Your horoscope reveals the strings and the melody of the harp (which is you) as the Breath of God is breathed. Your purpose for this life is also revealed in your horoscope. A reading with Patty the Astrologer helps you understand this.


July 1: no direct aspects.

HERE COMES A CME: from spaceweather.com A coronal mass ejection (CME) left the Sun on June 28th and it is expected to reach Earth on July 2nd.  NOAA forecasters estimate a 45% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms when the CME arrives. High latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras, especially in the southern hemisphere where winter darkness favors visibility. (Possible computer glitches, yet again.)

July 2: news is changing, emotional and unstable. Threats of aggression and possible confrontation. Cancer people are the catalyst.  Personally, your Cancer friends could be emotional today, throwing Sagittarius off balance and challenging Capricorn to be with family instead of work. Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer; Aries and Leo can help Sagittarius, with Taurus and Virgo helping Capricorn.

July 3: better day, with smooth emotions and good family relations, especially for Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces. Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn have the opportunity for good relationships. Aquarius and Leo may experience mild control issues; Sagittarius and Aries adjust to being home; Gemini and Libra enjoy good social events.

July 4: Venus goes into Gemini through July 31. Gemini is more charming than ever. Libra and Aquarius enjoy a month of good social times; Sagittarius may see verbal opposition; Virgo and Pisces are irritated with the speed of communication; Taurus and Cancer are neutral; Scorpio and Capricorn adjust to a lot of news or communication. Aries and Leo have the opportunity for fun social times. Also, plans continually change, so be flexible.

July 4 is Independence Day for the USA. Independence is symbolized by the planet Uranus and the sign Aquarius in your chart and reveals where and how you are free, unique and your own person. In the USA chart, Aquarius is the ruler, or patron planet, of the third house of communication or the press and transportation. Uranus lives in the sixth house of the work force.

July 5: repeat of May 17, 2017. Justice, or the law, at odds with compassion. Otherwise, Libra is required to adjust to dreamy response. Gemini and Aquarius can help Libra; Cancer and Scorpio can help Pisces. Pisces is the stronger. Also:

July 5: Mercury goes into Leo through July 25. Communication and news turns to the dramatic and entertainment. Leo is more communicative, challenging Aquarius with control issues, followed by Taurus and Scorpio. Aries and Sagittarius enjoy good communication, especially about adventures. Gemini and Libra have the opportunity to join in exuberant communication and news. Cancer and Virgo are neutral; Capricorn and Pisces adjust to dramatic requests.

July 5: yes, more. Cancer is the catalyst again to engage in creative or spiritual projects, and pushing for expansion. Good day for the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Challenging day for Libra, Aries and Capricorn. Gemini and Leo are neutral; Sagittarius and Aquarius adjust to emotional or family-oriented activities. Taurus and Virgo have the opportunity for a good day with family.

July 6: see-saw, quincunx Moon, meaning a weird day with nothing going as expected. Sagittarius and Cancer, especially need to adjust to changes. Usually these days are experienced as full of unexpected interruptions. When you adjust, things are better than expected.

July 6 USA: opportunity for good relations with allies and the public.

July 7: great communication day, especially with Gemini and Leo, followed by Libra, Aquarius, Aries and Sagittarius. News should be mildly good. Good day to talk with your loved one to be understood.

July 9: full Moon in the signs of Capricorn and Cancer, who are the most affected, followed by Aries and Libra, all of whom are challenged today. The areas of the body associated with this full Moon are the knees, bones and skin; and the breasts and stomach. Taurus and Virgo can help Capricorn, with Scorpio and Pisces helping Cancer.

July 10: confrontational day, similar to, or related to July 2. The USA could be confronting the nuclear power again; a crisis of leadership. Again, Cancer is the catalyst and challenging Capricorn, bringing Aries and Libra into the situation. Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer; Taurus and Virgo can help Capricorn.

July 11: see-saw or quincunx day again, this time between Aquarius and Cancer who do not see eye to eye. The abstract is trying to deal with the emotional and both need to adjust. Things do not go as expected, and it may be a good idea to put off decisions. Usually these days are experienced as full of unexpected interruptions. When you adjust, things are better than expected. Today the adjustment would be to let go of control.

July 12 USA: repeat of May 7. slight alleviation of heavy responsibility for the president. Possible reconciliation of a financial or budget situation.

July 14: weird day until after 4 pm ET. News is dramatic but unreliable, full of innuendoes. The one in authority is thwarted by the established, but unstable, one. The good news is that the Sun and Moon are getting along, revealing stable and good emotions, especially with Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. The signs which need to adjust are Leo, Pisces, Cancer and Sagittarius. After 4 pm, news is clearer and balanced. Leo and Libra have the opportunity to be diplomatic and balance communication.

July 15 USA: repeat of January 10, 2017 and will repeat and end October 3, 2017. Disappointment with a court decision or more “fake news.” Communication is vague, incomplete or downright untrue. Do not believe the news today, yesterday and tomorrow because of the vagueness.

July 16: quarter Moon in the signs of Aries and Cancer, who are the most challenged, followed by Libra and Capricorn. Leo and Sagittarius can help Aries; Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer. Communication is changeable too, with grandiose ideas frustrated by the established, stronger one. Leo’s grand ideas are asked to be more practical. Aries and Sagittarius can help Leo, with Taurus and Virgo helping Capricorn.

July 17: Irritating day with Gemini and Pisces, followed by Virgo and Pisces. Your loved one may not be available or non-communicative. Challenge to create change from an aggressive one.

Pisces and Taurus may be asked to adjust because of a relationship (this is good), Leo and Sagittarius enjoy a great day. Sun and Moon indicate a day with nice opportunities for financial or family.
