August 17, 2020 : Luna enters Leo - expect a re-birth announcement
welcome to episode 58 of the second season of kristo's astrology...
here's my reading of the Zeitgeist for Monday, August 17th, 2020
**all times reported here are in UTC-0 (Universal Coordinated Time) or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)... please adjust according to your own Time Zone... if you're not sure about the time zone difference, you can find that here: Time Zone Map
just a reminder: don't sweat it if the numbers or hours are confusing... I'm with you on that...
calculating the times for these transits requires simple arithmetic, which is something I have absolutely no intuition for…
as a matter of fact, I had a professor once who said that if you can’t calculate numbers in your head, how can you do calculus…?
to which I say… um, I’m delighted not to have to…
anyway… just know that each of the planetary influences wax and wane over hours, days, and sometimes months or years...!
let your Intuition own the changes, and so whenever you observe a synchronicity, that jibes with what you’ve heard from me…
perfect…! because it shows that YOU and YOUR Intuition are on the money...
’nuff said…
okay:
Leo Sol (in his Coniunctio to Mercury, Quincunxes to Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn, Sextile to the Gemini Dragon’s Head, and Trine to Aries Mars) exactly BiQuintiles Capricorn Jupiter (in his Sextile to Piscean Neptune) @12:48 AM UTC-0 / GMT
expect an important gift from the Unconscious today...
Psyche gives you a prophetic announcement meant to shape your post-Covid future, and redeem any of your pre-Covid boo-boos...
consider it a re-birth announcement...
Cancer Luna Opposes Saturn (in his Quintile to Aries Chiron, Square to Mars, and Yod with Sol, Mercury, and the Dragon’s Head) @12:59 AM, and goes Void of Course for 5 hours and 39 minutes — oddly enough, Cancer Venus exactly Squares Chiron at precisely the same time - 12:59 AM
well, this sure is unusual...
I can't remember ever running into this phenomenon of 2 simultaneous transits before, and I mean going all the way back to the very beginning of kristo.com over 20 years ago...
that said, consider this an alchemical turning point...
expect to come across what looks like a metaphoric albatross — a huge burden around your neck...
it's also the perfect solution to a personally relevant problem...
the thing is, you're not going to believe that it's important to your welfare to keep it around...
the paradox here is that it really has nothing at all to do with you...
it's all about Psyche...
Mercury exactly Trines Mars (in his Square to Pluto) @6:30 AM
expect to come across some astrologic armor...
Personal-protective-gear for your soul...
and just the equipment you need for turning that albatross into something beyond useful...
Luna enters Leo @6:38 AM
expect to see flashes of real gold...
the gold of the philosophers, that is...
Mercury exactly BiQuintiles Jupiter @8:29 AM
this is a moment of genuine transformation...
of course there's never any transformation without an ordeal...
and now you know why you've been suffering lately...
Mercury exactly Conjuncts Sol @4:08 PM
this happens to be one of the highlight moments of any and all summers...
a genuine experience of recreation and re-birth expect to feel just like a kid — free to do just about anything you wish...
Luna Trines Chiron @9:55 PM
this is an astrologic sauna...
or an alchemical bath...
either way, expect to feel rejuvenated...
and here’s a fairytale flash:
Hey… don’t forget, Episode 4 of my fairytale podcast, the Hansel and Gretel Code is now out there in the wild…
episode 3 had us looking at the symbolism of the great forest…
and now episode 4 has us digging into our woodcutter’s financials, and questioning his career choices…
I hope you’ll take a listen…
.....
whether or not you thought you knew what Hansel and Gretel is all about, this podcast is gonna take you on a rollercoaster of psychological depths and heights not to mention informative twists and turns — all of them designed to entertain the hell out of you…
you can find out all about it on the website betweenthelines.xyz, or on whatever podcast app floats your boat…
and please take a listen to my art podcast, kristo.art it’s my take on art and art appreciation that aims to take the snoot and attitude out museum and gallery going — and let you own the damn place...
.....
okay, well, that's it for today... thanks for listening... have a great day, and I'll see you tomorrow...
Alrighty then... ciao a tutti...
