I keep saying on this blog that the Solar Eclipse allows the feminine energy of the Moon to ECLIPSE or overshadow the standard business as usual stale old boys club Solar energy of the SUN. Well, now Paris Hilton has gone and proved it, in a very hilarious way.
If you’d like to see it at it’s original exclusive location it is at funnyordie.com.
This Paris Hilton video is a satire of the very successful campaign ad that McCain just ran. And just in case you’ve been stuck in the outback fighting off Dingo’s and walleroo’s for the past 2 weeks and missed the original McCain AD that closed a 9 point gap between him and Obama in just a week here is the CBS coverage of it:
Well, it is true that she’s way hotter than either the white haired old wrinkly guy OR that other guy. And no matter how you slice it, I would vote for her policy way before either of those b*tches. How come it takes a *dumb blonde* to bridge the gap that neither the Political parties, the pundits nor the posers can manage to achieve?
Solar Eclipse August 1 at 9′ Leo - Lunar Eclipse August 16 at 24′ Aquarius, the theme: DO AWAY WITH EGO. AND THEN DON’T TRUST THE SOCIAL LANDSCAPE - THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY SEEM.
The Solar Eclipse is HERE
It is exact August 1st, but it’s range of power & influence started two weeks ago (around July 15) and lasts for another two weeks (about August 15). THEN we have the Lunar Eclipse on the 16h (who’s influence starts today and lasts until about the end of August).
This is what I mean by Eclipse season - and we are right in the middle of it.
Is it effecting you? The only real way to get a good look at it is to have a private reading.
Traditionally the Solar Eclipse (like the one we are having AUGUST 1 is a sign of loss of honor, position, title or other outward state of the status quo. This Solar Eclipse is in Leo - at the extremely testy 8/9th degree. It aspects the 8th degree of Aries and Libra - both of which have been implicated in assassinations - both successful and unsuccessful ones. This, I believe is why so many Astrologers (and even Hilary Clinton) are throwing the word assassination around in connection with Obama. If anyone wants to pull a stunt like that, then the entire month of August would be prime time for it to happen.
And yes, it could happen. The most dangerous dates for assassination attempst on Obama are August 6/7, August 14-17 and August 28-30, so mark those words. But if August stays clear, there are other dangerous dates in September that I will post in next month’s Horoscope.
Then there’s the Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius on the 16th at 24′ Aquarius (the sign that rules politics). LUNAR ECLIPSE themes relate more to secrets and hidden information coming to the surface, so get ready to release your skeletons from the closet once and for all. The good news about this is that we can finally unburden ourselves from something, but be prepared because Eclipse Events usually come as a surprise.
Taken together, the Leo-Aquarius Eclipse theme highlights drama around ego, identity, social scenes, politics the masses and strong leadership figures. The topsy-turvey Eclipse roller coaster will upset the status quo, bringing some people down and tossing other’s a well-deserved (but unexpected) bone.
Aries: You are tangled up in a heap of unpredictability all month long. Add to this a healthy dose of fantasy and you’ve got a good recipe for a sudden and unplanned fling with a friend which will do nothing but create waves of drama through your whole social circle. Unless, of course you have learned the lessons of discretion. But it is the rare Aries indeed who understands this fine art. So don’t start something you can’t handle.
Taurus: The Eclipse’s are shaking you at your core and suggest huge and sweeping changes in your life. Sometimes it is good to completely clean house (or move house, or re-invent yourself). Now is the time for you to make a major overhaul. It might be hard for you to let go of the old stuff, but try to remember that the Universe always wants you to grow and always offers you MORE of who and what you truly are. New beats old in spades this month.
Gemini: Rules vs. fantasy. Friendship vs. family and all of it challenges your inner knowing to grow and expand beyond the easy ‘pat’ answers that have satisfied your relentless curiosity up until now. Your greatest asset is that intrepid mind that needs to know more, because that will send you on a journey to the depths of soul where you can finally marry all these splintered parts of yourself into one whole (and satisfied) being of true power. It’s the splintering that weakens you. You answers are inside, the outside authorities will only continue to weaken and splinter you further.
Cancer: It is your day. Every time there is a Solar Eclipse, you get to step onto the throne and take the power away from the King - what will you do with it? And will you be prepared when the Lunar Eclipse sends you an equal challenge? A challenge of obsession? This time you might think you have the answers, you might even get filled with self-justified rightiousness, but think again. Rightousness is the playground of the Ego - and this Eclipse season demands us all to throw ego to the wind.
Leo: Ahhh, you own this Eclipse season, or should I say it owns you? Either way, you must learn to detach, detach, detach. This is especially true for anything from which you have been getting a piece of your identity, recognition or status. (More true for those born between July 29-Aug 4th). For those born between the 12th-19th on the other hand, expect to deal with secrets being revealed and handled carefully. These are the kinds of challenges that really bring out the best and worst in people, so now is really the time to get busy focusing on letting go of control and doing your inner work - it’s the only thing that will help.
Virgo: So much to do, so little time, and so little help, this is your battle cry all month. It’s enough to make you want to protest, strike, send in your pink slip and take a long vacation where they wait on you hand and foot. I’m not against this as part of a plan, I just notice that when you get back, the old problems will still be there. In other words, deal with these unpleasant situations AND take a vacation afterwards. Then you’ll feel as though you’ve earned your peace. Read Aquarius.
Libra: You won’t admit it, but you’re becoming a little bit fanatical this month, or at the very least, you’re being a driven perfectionist. Well, don’t worry too much about that, since all the drama and chaos that’s rocking your love-life and social scene wind up making the desire for perfection and control downright laughable. Yes, you are in for an eventful August, and no, it’s nothing you will be able to control. So learn to expect to deal with the unexpected.
Scorpio: Seeking answers and solutions outside yourself this month will leave you feeling like little more than a pile of peices of yourself. Not fun. What you need now is to go into the center of the wheel and find the true cause of these opposing forces - they all exist inside of you. No, there is no outside drama. It may look that way, it may FEEL that way as pieces of your identity fall away and revelations about your true nature emerge -but this is a deeply spiritual journey of self-re-invention (I just made that word up, but I like it - I invite you to do the same with yourself on the soulular level).
Sagittarius: The Eclipses can really help you this week. But still, you’re not getting off easy. Ultimately you’ve got to figure out where the real work needs to be done - and just get busy doing it. Outside changes and drama can drive your efforts forward if you are smart about it. In other words: a change in other people’s philosophies or the status of the group you belong to can lead you to reveal secrets and information of a profound nature - this helps you take on your divine role as a teacher - but be prepared for the hard work of it.
Capricorn: You are getting the help you need to get things rolling, but the road is clearly not a smooth one. Money, loans, banking, mortgages and finances are suddenly thrown up in the air like a deck of cards in the wind. Consider this: how can chaos benefit you? If you can’t answer that then study some great (and innovative) business minds like Warren Buffet or Rockefeller.
Aquarius: Read Leo, you are both in the same boat. Relationships are getting rocked harder than the earthquake that recently hit the West coast. Your whole identity is under scrutiny and you are going through major change - the kind of change that leads you to a whole new identity. This can be easy or hard, it’s up to you. The more you fight it, the harder it will be. But if you push and help, like a snake shedding it’s skin, the sooner you will see all those bright shiny new colors from the freshly revealed new you.
Pisces: The birth of a new form of service is just waiting to leap forward into your life in much the same way that Athena the goddess of wisdom lept full grown from her father Zeus’s head. (No wonder he had a headache). You too can releave your discomfort by releasing your newest genius onto the world and then letting it have a life of it’s own. After all, wisdom doesn’t need to be controlled does it?
Much is being made of astrology in politics these days. Everybody and their cousin is talking about Hilary vs Obama and their Horoscopes. It is worth pointing out here that BOTH Astrology And Politics are ruled by the planet Uranus. Even the Huffington Post is running a piece called huffpollstrology. The recent news about British Intelligence using Astrology has been all over the wires for over a week. Here’s an excerpt from the ABC article:
“It seems former US President Ronald Reagan wasn’t the first to be accused of using astrology to make key foreign policy decisions.”
My point here is that the Astrologers Ronald Reagan (mostly Nancy actually) used - Jean Dixon among others, sure seemed to work for him. He DID have a brilliant political career - there is really no arguing with this point. Clearly some Astrology is better than others (for bad Astrology, just look at huffpollstrology). And one top point to remember is that a Horoscope in the local paper can do very little (if anything) to help you plan for your life.
On the other hand ABC is very lacking in their reporting on this subject. The reporter Stephanie Kennedy obviously didn’t do her research here. She has neglected to mention (or notice) that the forefathers of our country used Astrology to choose it’s July 4th Birthday. Benjamin Franklin was a master Astrologer, one who used Declinations (a technique I also use) to help choose that date for the creation of America. You will have to search long and hard to find any current Astrologers who have any idea how to use Declinations. And yet they are at least as powerful as the usual Astrology Charts.
“Astrology is one of the most ancient sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the wise and great. Formerly no prince would make war or peace, nor any general fight a battle, in short no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an astrologer.” Click here to see this quote in it’s original context.
Benjamin Franklin, 1751
Benjamin Franklin was also the publisher of a periodical called ‘The Farmer’s Almanac” which points out the best Astrological time for planting crops. And yet, here in the US we have consistently gone away from the timeless wisdom of planting with the flow, instead we genetically engineer our foods so that they have little if any nutrition left and may no longer even be good for us.
Not only that, but many of the dates used in our electoral process were chosen because they would always be energetically supportive of the USA’s best interests and well-being. This has since been messed with by a few of our more barbaric administrations. (Did they know they were messing with a good thing?). Certainly our current economic and housing crisis’ are good evidence that the great prosperity and abundance we experienced all through the 80’s and 90’s is indeed very messed up.
In the end what I can offer is that you begin to Understand and learn the real Secret to how the Universe works. I don’t mean the information that was presented in the Book/Movie. I mean the REAL secrets of the universe. If you try and use the ideas in the movie without a real understanding of them you are more likely than not to have them BACKFIRE on you. These principles have been used throughout time by those who understand them for the purpose of helping humanity or for the purpose of controlling and enslaving humanity - depending on who was in power. It is your right to understand and use the power of Astrology and the principles of the Universe. Otherwise, those in the know can and will use this knowledge against you.
Just based on the Void Moon in his candidacy announcement on Feb 10, 07 at 10am, it’s hard to imagine Obama winning. The Void Moon is indeed a formidable force. Have any of YOU tried to make anything stick that you did on a Void Moon? It’s nearly impossible for most people to do. (For clarification on this check my blog post: ) Basically what I am saying here is that the Void is working against Obama’s candidacy. HOWEVER, the Void still has an impact on the world. That impact is to DEEPEN THE DISCUSSION, make people reflect on what is important and do some inner emotional and spiritual housekeeping. Always a good thing in my book.
Right now, as all this presidential prediction discussion is flying around I see so many Astrologers forget to make note of the current RETROGRADE MERCURY and the current RETROGRADE SATURN. Both of which indicate upcoming changes in trend and overall direction. Mercury goes direct on Feb 19th - which means all of the current discussion will be revised (endlessly) until Early March. Saturn changes direction in May indicating a major change in our collective approach to authority figures, who we take seriously and why, as well as our understanding of the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
So many Astrologers also seem to forget that we have another Eclipse season before candidates are announced formally (and it is an *ss kicker too!) The next set of Eclipses take place in August. Get ready for a serious game of hardball. As I keep saying, it ‘aint over yet, and before it ends the plot (and drama) WILL THICKEN.
