August 16, 2021 : Luna enters Sagittarius and Venus enters Libra - expect an Elvis sighting today
welcome to episode 57 in season six of kristo's astrology...
here's my reading of the Zeitgeist for Monday, August 16th, 2021
**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…
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...

The Scorpio Moon Squares Aquarian Jupiter (in his Quincunx to Virgo Venus) @12:23 AM GMT / UTC-0
this is one of those Khidr moments...
expect to witness an overt act of mild to moderate cruelty that's actually meant to prevent a different act of severe cruelty...
the story of the Khidr is well worth remembering...
just as it's good to know the Khidr's Western identity as the Green Man...
just like Elvis, you're likely to see him anywhere and everywhere...
....
Luna Sextiles Venus @4:05 AM, and goes Void of Course for 7 minutes
see...?
didn't I tell you...?
consider this moment an astrologic trip to Graceland...
....
Luna enters Sagittarius @4:12 AM
I love the whole idea of Sagittarius...
it's the original sign of generosity, optimism, good cheer and over-indulgence — not to mention, long journeys over water
these next few days are a great time to indulge in each and every one of them...
okay, maybe not the long journey part...
eh... who knows?
....
Venus enters Libra (until September 10th) @5:27 AM
this gives us 3 1/2 weeks to indulge in whatever we find genuinely beautiful...
just remember that beauty has to move you — like in a 4th Chakra experience...
beware of abstractions...
there's nothing beautiful about an abstraction unless you're a genuine mathematician or physicist...
....
Luna Opposes the Gemini Dragon's Head (in it's Square to the Mercury / Mars Coniunctio in Virgo, and Trine to Aquarian Saturn) @3:44 PM
this also means that Luna's Conjunct the South Node of the Moon...
consider this a good time to recall having a terrific time in a foreign country...
even if the only foreign country you've ever visited is an utterly metaphoric place — like your own childhood...
....
Luna Squares Mercury (in his / her Quincunx to Saturn, and Quincunx to Aries Chiron) @6:57 PM
okay, so there are painful memories of places like that, too...
remember: indulge yourself in the Sagittarian Spirit of the moment...
hey, it's okay to wish things had been different...
....
Luna Sextiles Saturn @7:40 PM
you can also wish that you had been different, too...
wiser and more experienced...
the way you are now...
....
Luna Squares Mars @11:31 PM
okay, no acting out of bad memories, okay...?
I'm going to share a video memory of my own — (on my YouTube version of this reading, of course — which you can see right here)
as far as video goes, it's no great shakes...
but the feeling I had in seeing field after field of rapeseed growing was rapturous and numinous...
which is why I tried to capture it somehow...
it reminded me of El Greco's rapturous, acidic yellows...
....
HEY, don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel...
look for kristo's astrology channel on YouTube because that's where you can see the evolving planetary arrangements as seen from — where else — Greenwich, England...
and if you like it, PLEASE do subscribe there and, more importantly, spread the word...
you know, like mayo on your sandwich...
or, okay like mustard...
mustard's good too...
I got nothin' against mustard...
I swear...!

....
and here’s another fairytale flash:
well Episode 14 of the Hansel and Gretel Code is now out there in the wild...
I call this episode: Transformation Can Be Fun... and in it we find out why the deity is really a ham actor whose favorite hang out is that famous sleaze joint called Between a Rock and a Hard Place... Why not stop by and join the fun...?
you can find transcripts and links for each episode on the website at betweenthelines.xyz, or just look for the link to the Hansel and Gretel Code in the menu at the top of every page on kristo.com...
and just as a reminder, I'm giving away pdf copies of the manuscript version... it's the text I'm using for the podcast...
you'll want a copy so you can follow along with me and even work on your own interpretation...
it's the oldest complete version of the original Hansel and Gretel story out there, and my own translation of it into English was the only available until just about a year ago...
just sayin'
hit the talk to me link on the website or right here talk to me... and ask for your free copy... easy peasy...
.....
no matter what anybody has already told you about Hansel and Gretel, get ready to be surprised...
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 that 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 of museum and gallery going...
it actually let's 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...
got a comment or a question:

synchronicity and the horoscope...
here's how to use the horoscope to train your own intuition:
don’t think of it as predictive news...
use it as an exercise — especially after the moment has passed...
look for things that sound like descriptions of events from your day — uncannily direct is great, but oddly familiar is even better...
astrology is all metaphor, you know?
as your intuition grows, you’ll learn to trust it more and more — and that’s when you’ll start appreciating the synchronicities for what they really are: affirmations from Psyche telling you that you’re on the right track...
then, like Hansel and Gretel’s breadcrumbs, all you have to do is see where they lead....
