August 20, 2020 : Luna's in Virgo and Mercury enters Virgo - time to edit all of those first shitty drafts
welcome to episode 61 of the second season of kristo's astrology...
here's my reading of the Zeitgeist for Thursday, August 20th, 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:
Mercury (in his / her Coniunctio to Leo Sol, Trine to Aries Mars, and Yod with Capricorn Saturn and the Gemini Dragon’s Head) enters Virgo (until September 5th) @2:30 AM UTC-0 / GMT
well, the short take on this is that we've got 18 days worth of editing ahead of us...
that, along with the proverbial chores of chopping wood and carrying water...
Mercury in Virgo sure does mean plenty of busywork and paper-shuffling...
at least you can be sure to get some stuff organized...
even if it's only into piles...
it's also a good time for expiating at least some of the sins of omission we're all guilty of...
no specifics there — or accusations...
we just need to do some pre-autumn cleaning up, and we've got the right astrologic energy to fuel us...
Virgo Luna Trines Taurean Uranus (in his Sextile to Cancer Venus) @2:52 AM
this is an astrologic gym session...
expect to get a regular routine set up...
a routine that's going to see you making really nice gains...
Luna Sextiles Venus @5:05 AM
the astrologic moment is perfectly ripe for taking some sort of creative class...
your choice...
something along the lines of floral arrangement seems perfect...
then again, there's nothing more perfect than whatever floats your boat...
Luna Trines Capricorn Jupiter (in his Trine to Piscean Neptune) @3:13 PM
this is you getting a gift of the perfect tool to match your creative inspiration...
Luna BiQuintiles Mars (in his Squares to Capricorn Pluto and Saturn) @4:57 PM
this is you experimenting and finding just the right line to bring your creative expression to exceptionally vivid life...
I'm thinking something cherry red...
Luna Opposes Neptune (in his Sextile to Jupiter) @6:16 PM
okay, so this is the problem with the virgoan sensibility: too much adherence to formula or rules produces stiff, lifeless results...
by all means, learn the rules and practice them...
then practice breaking them...
we're all gonna find ourselves somewhere in between...
Luna Trines Pluto (in his Quincunx to the Dragon's Head, and waxing BiQuintile to Sol) @10:48 PM
the solution to all our problems can always be found within the problem...
this is one of those moments when the steps are all outlined for us...
it's only this once, but we're led right to it...
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...
