AUSPICIOUS AUGUST 2008

There are several “heavenly” events happening this August, along with “planetary” events affecting everyone physically, emotionally and spiritually. 

        1. 8/1/08 Total Solar Eclipse visible over China, Siberia & Mongolia.   

        2. 8/16/08 – Lunar Eclipse visible in mostly in Africa and Europe

        3. 8/8/08 Olympic Games opening in Beijing, China.

        4. 8-25 to 8/28-08 Democratic Convention – Denver

             

Total solar eclipses are rare events. Although they occur somewhere on Earth every 18 months on average, it has been estimated that they only recur at any given place once every 370 years! So most people who experience a total eclipse will only be able to do so once in a lifetime. Some may never see one. The total eclipse only lasts for approximately 2 -3 minutes at each location.

For comparison, the longest eclipse of the entire 21st century will occur on July 22, 2009 and last 6 min 39 sec. It will also only be visible over China and parts of India. The next total solar eclipse visible within the United States will happen on August 21, 2017 and April 8, 2024.  The last total eclipse over North America was February 26, 1979.

From earliest recorded history, signs in the cosmos have always had dynamic symbolic meaning. The Sun is the source our life on Earth It represents our conscious mind, our identity in the world and light on our planet. It has been the symbol for the Divine Creator also. It is considered male or Yang in its energy. It can be a symbol of one’s own Soul light/fire.

 

The Moon represents the night, the unconscious and subconscious mind, our inner shadow or dark side.  It is passive in nature, receiving and magnetically controlling the flow of water on Earth. It is considered feminine or Yin in its energy. In human terms we equate water with emotions and therefore the Moon may influence our moods.

 

In a Solar Eclipse the passive, reflective New Moon totally dark and invisible from Earth moves in front of the Sun in precisely the right angle so as to block out the full Sun, except for the Sun’s mysterious “corona” or perimeter.

 

Symbolically, our intuitional (and maybe irrational) dark Moon nature is blocking the light of the visible creative Sun light nature. We can examine our own lives and see if we are allowing our dark shadow side to eclipse our light, and disowning parts of ourselves.  The timing couldn’t be more perfect for this cosmic laden lesson, which applies to groups and nations as well as individuals. The Eclipse is meant to jump start our awareness to help us clear what doesn’t work and infuse the planet with light energy to magnetically write a new program.

 

August 8, 2008, the exact mid-point between the Solar Eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse, adds up to the total number eight. (8 + 8 + 2008 = 2+6 = 8) This is also highly unusual. According to numerology, each number and combination of numbers carries an energetic signature unique to that number. In general, the number 8 is a powerful number and signifies “abundant prosperity and success in all endeavors”. The Chinese culture continues to practice numerology for insights on how to be in harmony with life energy, (or Qi, pronounced Chi) which flows in and through everything in the universe. China planned the Olympic Games to open on 8-8-08 for this reason.

 

August, the eighth month, is under the astrological sign of Leo the Lion, which is a symbol of fearless leadership and power. To have the Lion-hearted all powerful Sun eclipsed by the lesser more receptive feminine Moon over an emerging powerful nation like China as it hosts its first Olympic Games is indeed auspicious and interesting to consider. Leo also represents fearless creative self expression in a spirit of joyfulness and celebration. How perfect for the Olympics, but also for all of us.

The final major event scheduled is the Democratic Convention in Denver from August 25th through August 28th. The nominated candidate will give his acceptance speech on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech on August 28, 1963. That speech spoke of monumental changes in the consciousness of America, which we now see manifesting.

Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.”  Martin Luther King from “I Have a Dream”.

 

“What is a soul? It’s like electricity – we don’t really know what it is, but it’s a force that can light a room.”  Ray Charles

 

Do you think that all of these unique events on Earth and in Heaven are a coincidence?  Each of them carries powerful Solar energy to effect enormous changes in the months and years ahead. Being aware of the signs of the times and the patterns of power they reveal can make all the difference.
