Moon Scope
"The Eagle has Landed"
Good evening beloved. I’m writing this Moon Scope on the evening of Augustus 1st for the Full Moon coming up on Augustus 9th. On my way to do laundry this morning, I saw a huge eagle swoop down and park itself on a fencepost that overlooked my car. I’ve never been that close to an eagle before, but spiritually, I know the eagle’s presence is a very good omen.
In many spiritual traditions, the eagle is a sign of inner strength, and it provides a hint to follow an inner spiritual journey. They’re powerful, they’re messengers, and for a long time, they’ve been seen as a connection to the spiritual realms. The eagle can also symbolize freedom, courage, bravery, and vision.
Yesterday, I had a vision of spirits playing in the earth’s oceans, and it was in the waters that these spirits were given form. This is extremely interesting because for the past two weeks, I’ve been concentrating on that tight conjunction between Saturn and Neptune in the sign, Aries.
In the sign of Aries on the first and second degrees, which of course, is the area of the wheel that represents the spring equinox (rebirth/renewal/coming back to life), Saturn, the planet of death and form, linked with the planet of spirituality, can be interpreted as the death of the spirit, or the death of the form of spirit.
Like the spirits in my vision taking on new shapes and new forms in the water, this conjunction between Saturn and Neptune, although representing the death or destruction of spiritual form, gives new form to spirit by its placement in Aries. As I was contemplating these correlations, I opened the Farmer’s Almanac, and underneath the month of August, next to the day of the 6th, the word transfiguration was written bold and big.
Is there a real connection between the eagle, my visions, and the celebration of the transfiguration of Jesus? I would say so, and I’ll be contemplating all of this now as the days continue to pass and we get closer to the Moon’s culmination phase.
When we consider the eagle in relationship to astrology, we’re talking about the Constellation Aquila (Latin for Eagle), and its brightest star, Altair. Aquarius and Aquila are neighboring constellations, and mythologically speaking, Jupiter, the King of the Gods, looked down from the heavens and noticed Ganymede (Aquarius). Ganymede was the son of one of the kings of Troy, and Jupiter was obsessed with his beauty.
So, Jupiter decided to transform (transfigure/change shape/become something else or something different/change form) himself into an eagle (Aquila) and kidnap Ganymede (Aquarius). Jupiter then placed them both in the heavens, Aquarius as the Water Bearer, and Aquila as the eagle.
From a personal standpoint, I just looked ahead at the chart for the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 9th, and the Moon will be on the 17th degree of Aquarius in opposition to the Sun on the 17th degree of Leo. This is indeed personal because my natal Sun is on the 18th degree of Aquarius! The precise time for this Full Moon is 3:55 a.m., and to have the Moon in that placement really validates the visions and the appearance of the eagle.
It's important for all of us to know:
Altair, Aquila’s brightest star, will be conjunct Pluto in the Seventh House, the conjunction between Saturn (Aries 1st degree) and Neptune (Aries 1st degree) will be conjunct the Midheaven (Aries 2 degrees), Mars (Libra 1st degree) is conjunct the Nadir/IC (Libra 2 degrees), which also puts the God of War in opposition to the conjunction between Saturn and Neptune on the Midheaven, the Sun (Second House Leo) and the Moon (Eighth House Aquarius) will be in opposition, and Venus and Jupiter will be conjoined in Cancer in the Twelfth House.
There’s a lot going on astrologically, and I’m not going to interpret all of that for you because the focus of this article is supposed to be on the Full Moon (sorry for all the other information, however, I do find it relative for this reading), but I do encourage all of you to do your own research concerning those alignments on the 9th at 3:55 a.m., especially if any of your natal alignments correlate in some way.
As the Moon on the 9th will be lit up to the max, our attention and focus will shift to Eight House matters. We could be thinking about or awaiting information involving surgeries, or reproductive organs, death, birth, rebirth/transformation, reincarnation, legacies and wills, and money and property belonging to other people.
Be careful of cheating and bringing home a sexually transmitted disease. Be careful of cheating and getting pregnant. Fellas, wear protection. Now’s not the time.
Since the Eighth House is ruled by Pluto, and Pluto as we’ve mentioned, will be conjunct Altair in the Seventh House, we know these Eight House matters will involve a partner or manifest through some type of relationship.
This makes the opposition between the Moon (feminine/mother/wife/girl) and the Sun (masculine/father/husband/boy) that much more important because we could literally be warring with someone very close to us about personal property and money. What’s yours? What’s mine?
If we’re vulnerable to the darker side of Pluto, this can be nasty (like Jupiter kidnapping the King of Troy’s Son)!
Without a doubt, the opposition between the Sun and Moon could indicate a lot of stress between couples and within marriages. Divorces, fighting for custody, alimony, money due, and some of us might even be fighting for basic necessities that are needed for survival. You might have to move or vacate someone’s property even if you’ve lived there for a long time. This can be difficult to deal with emotionally, and we can see the square between Mercury and Pluto making communication difficult.
Beware. Pride cometh before the fall!
Leo is kingly, regal, and potentially self-centered. With Mercury in Leo in the First House, squared Pluto in the Seventh House, we’re speaking pridefully and authoritatively. We can be self-centered and selfish, and it will manifest through all forms of communication be it the spoken or written word, tweeted, texted, or in video form.
Communication could be fully charged with pride, and the fixed qualities of Leo and Aquarius could have us bordering on dictatorship. We could be very stubborn and extremely resistant to change now.
Remember something, Jesus as the Son of God could’ve had a whole lot to say, and he could’ve saved himself from crucifixion if he told the Romans that he was the Messiah, but he didn’t. He remained humble, and he asked the Father to forgive those who knew not what they were doing.
We all have hope during this time, and it’s coming from the conjunction between Saturn and Neptune in the Ninth House conjunct the Midheaven in Aries. Don’t be afraid to leave, or to embark on that long journey. You can take the high road, and there’s a lot of compassion in the Ninth House right now.
The conjunction between Venus and Jupiter in Cancer is showing an expansion or a growing of love. We could be reconnecting with our mothers and resolving old issues. With love in their hearts and with good intent, people will be entering or leaving prisons, hospitals, or drug rehabilitation centers. If your relationship with your parents has been suffering because of a drug or alcohol addiction, it can be repaired now.
As we continue to get closer to the 9th, resist the temptation to play aloof. Stay in the moment. Let the creativity flow out from within, and keep in mind that Aquarius is the sign of the humanitarian. We are tolerant, and if we can get close enough with people to earn their trust and loyalty, they might be willing hear our grand ideas or our idealistic plans for the future.
This is about standing in our power now and showing others that we’re capable. We’re thinking clearly, we got our shit together, and we can be trusted with important responsibility. Our loyalty remains with those who’ve always supported us and loved us.
Don’t be a mystery, and don’t beat around the bush. Gracefully, respectfully, and tactfully-that’s how you should be conveying the truth now. You’re not helping anyone when you laugh at something that isn’t funny, when you pretend to be interested in something you could care less about, or when you go through the motions.
Move with intent and purpose and if you can, try to give 100% of yourself to every interaction that you have.
My friends, change is in the air. Spiritually and metaphysically, something huge is going on right now, and it began last week with three deaths (Eighth House). Malcom Jamal Warner died on 7/20, Ozzy Osbourne on 7/22, and Terry Bollea on 7/24. I already showed you guys the numerology and the chart involved with all of that in the last article I posted.
Now, I’m having the visions of the spirits playing in water, the eagle appeared today, the Transfiguration will be celebrated this week on the 6th, and the Moon culminates on the 9th.
Pray, meditate, love, and act with compassion. I have this wonderful feeling concerning the universe, magik, and the ability for each and every one of us to use our God-given free will to manifest a life of prosperity, abundance, love, and fulfillment.
When the Moon culminates on the 9th, we will get the answers we seek. It will be a time of revelations, so align yourself properly. Aquarius involves the masses, mass consciousness, and large groups of people that have come together because of similar interests-religious, political, human rights, financial gain, etc.
Where do we fit in? Where can we do our greatest good?
