August 19, 2020 : New Moon in Leo / Luna enters Virgo - today is an astrologic avalanche of Pasquinades
welcome to episode 60 of the second season of kristo's astrology...
here's my reading of the Zeitgeist for Wednesday, August 19th, 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:
The Leo Moon BiQuintiles Capricorn Jupiter (in his Sextile to Piscean Neptune) @12:03 AM UTC-0 / GMT
expect a bright, shiny gift from Psyche today...
except it's nothing new...
this is a recurrent dream or synchronicity that finally lets you in on it's perennial secret...
the secret, of course, being a hilarious inside joke...
in historic terms, it's the astrologic equivalent of Rome's most famous talking statue, Il Pasquino...
Luna Trines Aries Mars (in his Trine to the Sol / Mercury Coniunctio in Leo, and Squares to Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn) @12:51 AM
this is you putting your newly found knowledge to good use...
Luna Sextiles the Gemini Dragon’s Head (in its Quincunx to Saturn, and Sextile to Sol and Mercury) @2:44 AM
Oh goodness...
Psyche is now writing Pasquinades in your honor...
you might even be able to write some of them down as they're dictated to you...
Luna Conjuncts Sol (in his Quincunx to Saturn) @3:42 AM
This New Moon is out and out Satire, and it's going to annoy some people greatly...
there may be no lunar light, but there sure is lunar laughter...
Luna reaches a Quincunx to Saturn (in his Quintile to Aries Chiron) @3:46 AM
just be careful, some of those who are being satirized may have a nasty way of getting back at you...
Sol reaches an exact Quincunx to Saturn @4:48 AM
don't worry, Psyche's got your back...
Luna Conjuncts Mercury (in his / her waxing BiQuintile to Pluto) @6:38 AM, and goes Void of Course for 2 hours and 42 minutes
I won't be able to read this astrologic sign until it shows up in public...
just expect to read something that's witty as hell
Luna BiQuintiles Pluto (in his Sextile to Neptune) @7:38 AM
be prepared to laugh at someone taking themselves WAAAY too seriously...
Luna enters Virgo @9:20 AM and BiQuintiles Saturn @1:38 PM
this is someone giving you a famous, ancient formula you can use...
Mercury exactly BiQuintiles Pluto @1:50 PM
you know, it's funny that we have our own version of the talking statues, all in the guise of late-night TV hosts...
I'm all for the superiority of their wit...
all things considered, I'd just rather be in Rome...
Luna BiQuintiles Chiron (in his Square to Cancer Venus) @1:59 PM
there really is no formula when it comes to writing brilliant satire...
it's just one hell of a refreshing tonic I could never produce myself...
Luna reaches a Quincunx to Chiron @11:48 PM
once again, be careful with your consumption of satire...
too much of it ends up being a predictable drag...
it can even turn poisonous...
and we've already got enough of that going around...
and here’s a fairytale flash:
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...
