On the 9th August We walk one step beyond the last new moon in Leo (24th July) and the summer solstice (21st June). It is important to note that these 3 steps are linked to the numerological cycle of 3/6/9 (21st-24th-9th).2025 = 2+0+2+5= 9. The day of the FM reflects the number of the year.

Let’s discover the chart:

The sun in Leo is in opposition to the moon in Aquarius, sign of Saturn and Uranus. Individualism faces cooperation, the actor faces the humanitarian, rise and shine faces innovate and provide. Aquarius is an Air sign which means it’s more concerned with mental functions than the messiness of human emotion (cancer).

The moon in Aquarius put the mind always on alert, mixing curiosity and quest of knowledge. The questions are :

*How can We be more humanitarian and philanthropic in such an individualistic (occidental) civilisation ?

*Do We have a passion or do We need one ?

*Can We remain objective when We face a turbulent situation ?

Pallas is conjunct the moon :

The asteroid representing wisdom and strategy involves a potent merging of emotional intuition and intellectual prowess. This aspect encourages the integration of feminine wisdom and thinking out of the box. This aspect might impact fields like: intuition and decision-making; relationships and nurturing; creative expression and artistic endeavours.

Spot on the fixed cross:

The fixed cross represents the signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th houses). This is the Cross composed of the four energies which condition the life of the man who is first a probationary disciple and then an accepted or pledged disciple. It invites to follow a path made with a lot of mysteries. It is outstandingly the Cross of the soul.

Signs on the fixed cross are persistent, stable, and resistant to change. The fixed quality is strong and relentless. It is a blessing at times— fixed signs are reliable and determined. They do not give up easily. But the unwillingness to change can also mean missing out on opportunities and getting stuck in ruts. The fixed signs represent the second month of each season. The season is well underway by the time the Sun reaches a fixed sign. The season has really “set in.”

Spot on the triangle of air !

The moon, Pallas & Pluto in Aquarius, Mars in Libra, Uranus in Gemini are part of a triangle of air signs. Each elemental triangle represents how the basic principles represented by each cross is reflected in human experience.

The air signs are pre-eminently signs of the universal Mind.

The glyph of Uranus has two faces; a turn to the past and one for the future. The dual mind of humanity is separated by the cross of matter, linking the human world to the divine. The mind is supported and energized by the circle of the Spirit.

When dealing with Uranus in astrology, always expect the unexpected. This planet is famous for its eccentricity, revolutionary aspirations and sudden changes. Uranus in astrology is similar to the mad scientist. It’s both the Genius and the Fool. In Astrology, Uranus represents rebelliousness, revolution, mill, and the ability to break with limitations and resurface with a new sense of freedom. This planet is related to technology, machinery and electricity.

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the first one of the so-called outer planets. Being so far from us, it’s in use only in modern astrology, and it is the planetary ruler of the sign Aquarius. Before the discovery of Uranus, astrologers considered Saturn to be the ruling planet of Aquarius.

Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury in astrology. In the human body, it governs the brain. Knowing this, it’s no surprise that a prominent Uranus suggests a very smart person, especially if it has positive aspects with Mercury or the Sun in the natal chart.

Don’t forget the scout planet :

Mercury R acts as a scout planet, located in Leo during this FM.

With Mercury in this position, We see communication, planning, organization, delays and strange ideas as main dishes of a menu without carte. Mercury R as a scout planets can bring many inner messages, provoke coincidences or synchronicity. Time becomes universal and not psychological.

We can also have the sensation to live in another reality.

To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. To regard the lion and the water rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of a warrior's spirit. It takes power to do that. Carlos Castaneda
