August 2020 Spiritual Insight (transcripted)
It appears the mass consciousness of the planet is at a low point. Not only are people operating at a low consciousness but even those who are more evolved are at a more depressed level. It feels like this depression is beginning to strike out with more anger. Depression surfaces from anger turned inward.
The most important event occurring this month is transiting Mars is slowing down in preparation to turn retrograde on September 9th, but before it enters 0 degrees of Aries on August 16th, it will be ghandanta (last degrees of water and first degree of fire). Take note of the time frame when Mars is ghandanta because this is a time of out of control emotion and severe weather. I was taught that ghandanta equates to drowning both literally and figuratively. Since this is hurricane season in the U.S., this will be one of the worst seasons for storms across the world. As Mars is going to turn retrograde, it is more potent and it will transit back and forth over these degree markings three times. Here are the dates when Mars will be ghandanta at 29 degrees Pisces: August 14 – 16, October 5 – 7, and December 22 – 25.
Another extreme feature adding to this ghandanta phase is that when Ketu enters Scorpio on September 19th it will be ghandanta too. This represents extremes of emotion and volatility around the world.
I want to focus my thoughts and insights on how the coronavirus is affecting us and what we have learned from this experience. We must always consider great difficulty in life as an opportunity for growth. Those who cast blame on circumstances or others become locked in the past and become victims; they give their power away and remain fixated on blame instead of using it as an opportunity for growth and change.
The astrological aspects this month indicate a time to prepare for an enormous change, but I know many are in a depressed state of mind. With much contemplation, I want to share some of my techniques especially thinking back to a time in my life when I felt like a total victim and how I overcame it all. In 2004, I lost both my parents and consequently lost just about everything else. It was the most depressing time of my life. But during this time, I was a strong believer in the law of attraction and gave readings to three individuals in the movie The Secret. As my children pointed out, I was not following what I believed as I was still vested in being a victim, blaming everything outside myself for the problems I was facing. So in order to walk my talk, I began looking inward to assess how I was staying fixated on my past and all the hurts and how I could release these recurrent feelings. My way of healing comes through the process of writing as I am doing every month when I write these newsletters. I have been sending out a monthly newsletter every month, and having not missed a month since 1999. It was truly cathartic when I wrote my book “Awaken to the Power within You”. In the book, I processed all the tools that took me out of my depression, and as a result, I transformed my life and miracles began to happen. Seriously, it was like the sky opened up for me. My children asked me just how I was able to make this shift and my simple reply was “I just knew it would happen”. I didn’t hope, pray, wish, or believe, I just knew. It is when your mind comes to that knowing state that it all happens.
Here are the ways I worked on myself and transformed my world into a state of joy and happiness and attained all my goals.
1) Changing Negative Thoughts and Beliefs
I processed my thoughts getting to the core of where those beliefs originated and shifted them to a place of gratitude because the lessons you learn from hardship makes you stronger and wiser. I realized that all negative thoughts deplete our energy and even make us ill.
2) Changing Vocabulary
Rejecting using words that confirmed my lack of confidence, and replacing them with words of confidence.
3) Journaling
Writing my thoughts confirmed what I wanted to manifest because when it is written, it makes it real.
4) Breath Work
I worked with breathing techniques of yoga and exercise to process fear. I was a runner for 40 years and found that listening to my favorite music while running healed my soul enormously, sometimes crying the entire run, and communicating with my lost loved ones.
5) Mantras and Affirmations
I used these to change my compulsive thinking to a constant sound, which shifted this energy.
6) Dreams
Dreams are powerful tools to look deeper into the subconscious mind to better understand where you are and what needs healing.
7) Astrology for Understanding
The astrological chart reveals what your karmic issues are in your lifetime. I believe the astrological birth chart is a blueprint of all lifetimes combined and the difficult things in a chart tell us what blocks are to be overcome. Overcoming and healing the difficult aspects in your chart means you will not have to repeat the same karma in the next life. So if you have a difficult chart for relationships, for example, malefics such as Mars, Rahu and Saturn in the 7th house of relationships and marriage, it isn’t that you are always destined for bad relationships, but that you are here to learn through this so you can have good relationships.
Another interesting attraction or mirror I found is that I would attract clients who had similar events that I was experiencing and often found the advice I was giving them applied to my own life. So I healed through counseling others.
All of this and much more were a part of my own healing and I did this as I wrote my simple book “Awaken to the Power within You”. I found it difficult to get it published because all the colored pictures made it too expensive but finally realized I could do it through Amazon as a kindle book. I felt the photos were necessary as they helped the subconscious mind understand the meanings through symbols.
If you are feeling stuck and maybe depressed this month remember you have to be willing to change. The only thing you can change is yourself. You can’t change other people and when you have expectations of others you will find you will always be disappointed. These simple techniques work but it is a process and now is the time to begin your own transformation. This is the year of major shifts and spiritual transformations as transiting Jupiter rides in the Sagittarius with Ketu.
The timeline I foresee with the developments with the coronavirus is that we will begin to see the light at the end of this tunnel by the end of September, a ray of hope. But the testing and developments from this hope come together by the end of the year and by February-March 2021 the Coronavirus will be history. I foresee major events involving the political scene being tremulous between September – January. Don’t get caught up in this negativity! I will keep you posted on the astrological landscape as we go through all this.
Mars rules real estate and as it will be retrograde on September 9 – November 14, values of real estate should decrease. It will be a buyer’s market! Many will not be able to afford their homes if they have been affected negatively by the coronavirus.
The stock market will be affected during this time. I feel it may go down while the emotions run high through the next few months. I predict that it will rise again considerably in February - March 2021, as Rahu is in Taurus and Jupiter is in Capricorn. They will mutually aspect each other in earth signs. If it drops considerably, this can be a time to invest.
I know this year will bring major shifts in healing of disease. As the research and quest for combating the coronavirus deepens other discoveries for major health problems will unfold. I know it will involve discoveries with energy; electromagnetic energy was discovered in 1889 which was the last time Jupiter and Ketu exactly conjoined in the sign Sagittarius. Everything is cyclic and happens for a reason. Use this time for personal growth and transformation as difficulties give us the greatest opportunities for change.
Predictions
August 01: Mercury enters Cancer
As Mercury and the Sun transit through the sign Cancer, emotions ride high. Many will become hypersensitive to all the anger and frustration involving the virus and political unrest. Cancer is also a sign of security, which means many are fearing the lack of security as the world becomes more unstable.
August 02: Sun square Uranus 16 degrees Cancer/Aries
The Sun is our spirit or life force and this further challenges our sense of security. It appears the world is being awakened to the problems with severe weather and earth changes brewing with violence and anger deep within.
August 03: Mercury opposes Saturn 03 degree Cancer/Capricorn Full Moon 17 degrees Capricorn
Mercury is the planet that rules the thinking mind and in opposition to Saturn. It is one the reasons I believe there is a depression of the masses during this time. Also Mercury rules travel and this affects the travel industry causing a reduction of flights and problems for the aviation industry. The Full Moon in Capricorn indicates changes in government and laws.
August 4: Mars square Jupiter 25 degrees Pisces/Sagittarius
While Mars is in Pisces, it is in Jupiter’s sign, and Jupiter is powerful in Sagittarius. As Mars squares Jupiter, it magnifies the radical obsessive beliefs around the world. There is a resurgence of fanatical religions. Many countries will be becoming more extreme in their religious domination.
August 05: Venus conjunct Rahu 04 degrees Gemini
Venus conjunct Rahu is powerful as this is close to the degree of the last Solar Eclipse. This can cause major issues with the airlines. It is not a good time to travel. It is also not a good time to purchase a vehicle. There may be extremes with the stock market as it will be very volatile now.
August 13: Mars square Pluto 29 degrees Pisces/Sagittarius
More violence is surmounting with possible attacks. This is a time of extreme emotion and is having deep effects on the planet. This is a time where the earth begins to shake.
August 14 – 16: Mars is Ghandanta which indicates extremes in weather, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
August 15: Uranus Retrograde 16 degrees Aries
As Uranus stations, it is another indicator of earthquakes and major disruptions around the planet. Rahu and Ketu are at the same degrees they were at the time of the 2011 earthquake in Japan, only they are now reversed: Rahu is where Ketu was, and Ketu is where Rahu was at 4 degrees Gemini/Sagittarius.
August 16: Mars enters Aries
Mars will be very potent in Aries and will cause great intensity of violence and anger. As it crosses 0 degrees Aries, it causes explosive emotions. Mars will be in Aries on and off as it retrogrades from September 9 – November 14. It will be in Aries on August 16 – October 4th, Then again on December 24 – February 22, 2021
August 17: Mercury enters Leo, conjunct Sun (superior conjunction)
Mercury is cazimi the Sun on this one day. It is in alignment with the Sun and Earth, but it is on the other side of the Sun. When it is between the earth and Sun, it is in its inferior conjunction, which is when Mercury is retrograde, but at this time it is moving fast at top speed, so it is a good time for starting new projects.
August 18: New Moon 2 Degrees Leo
This can be a time when there are major changes in the political race. Watch for major changes or possibly even a new candidate emerging who will change the race. This New Moon in Leo and the nakshatra Magha pertains to leadership and power.
August 24: Mars square Saturn 2 degrees Aries/Capricorn
Obstacles in government affairs cause strife in many nations. Many countries will continue to regain their own power. Globalization in the world is changing as many countries become more self-reliant. This will be the effects as Jupiter and Saturn join in Capricorn in December.
August 25: Venus opposes Jupiter 23 degrees Gemini/Sagittarius
Venus represents peace and as it aspects Jupiter in the sign of communications, there will be more agreements worldwide, especially pertaining to information about the coronavirus.
August 30 Venus opposes Pluto 28 degree Gemini/Sagittarius
Mercury opposes Neptune 25 degrees Leo/Aquarius
Secrets and scandals are being revealed as the political parties begin to lock horns. Sex scandals are still a focus but also financial scandals take the lead in the news. August 31: Venus enters Cancer
Venus in the sign that rules the Moon and represents great volatility in the markets. With all the changes occurring in politics, the markets begin to reflect the insecurities the mass population is feeling
