Astrology for the Week of August 27, 2012

By Michele Freeman

The theme for this week is to question everything.  You have heard and probably try to believe that this reality is just an illusion, but at times with the intense energy that is happening the past two years, it has been hard to really truly integrate into your life. The more you try to believe, the more the universe throws at you.  That is because we are tested to see if what we say we believe is really what we believe. So, take the time this week, to ask “Is this really true?” This is the beginning of the breaking the cords that keep you   entwined in this belief.

Wednesday, August 29, the Sun is trine Pluto and Mercury is sextile Saturn.  This creates an intense and powerful day for discovering how you have been creating in your life.  You believe all the experiences that you have in your memories but what if everything is a lie?  What if none of it is true? This energy will let you see how you have been reacting to events in your life with learned conditioning and not from a position of creating.  Use this energy to align with the law of attraction and allow in what you really want to experience.

Thursday, August 20, the Sun is in opposition to Chiron which brings up beliefs that are causing stress in your life.   The key to oppositions is to balance the energy instead of flip flopping from one extreme to another.  In addition, part of making this energy work is to stop wanting the world to be perfect.  Perfection is balance.

Friday, August 31, we will experience a Blue Moon at 6:58 am PDT, which is a second Full Moon during one month.  This Full Moon is in Pisces which brings up spirituality, creativity, illusion and delusion.  Are you full filled or are you trying to escape this reality? All of the strong slow moving planets are aspecting this moon, which is like having a laser shine beam to your core.  Do you walk your talk or are you all show? You may have fooled everyone else with you show of spirituality, yoga, and healthy living. But are they just motions and techniques that you are good at doing? This energy will show if you are the real deal or not.  The Sabian symbol for this Blue Moon is “The race begins: intent on outdistancing his rivals, a jockey spurs his horse to great speed.”  The rivals are the beliefs that you have about yourself and others. The horse represents your core values and truth. If you have a strong balanced foundation, then the horse will go far and you will let go of limiting beliefs. However, if you have not been living your truth, the horse will not perform as you desire. Your judgments will trip yourself up.

The card that I pulled for this week is from Caroline Myss. “Perform every act as if it were your last. All the sprivual masters tell us to make every decision and choice as if our whol life could be changed because of it. Today be mindful only of who you are in each and every action."
