Market Drop - what's happening and what will happen?!
"... there is no end that you're going toward. We are all on a perpetual cycle of joyous becoming. We will never get it done, ever, ever, ever, ever." - Abraham
Where is the economy headed? Does it matter? Yes, to those who are invested, which is really all of us on some level.
On a higher spiritual level, this is part of a long process, a cycle that is ending. As cycles end, there is usually a period of adjustment that is not easy for those going through it on the physical level, which is also all of us. So let's look at the current behind the current astrology...
On Wednesday, I told you about the Cardinal Grand Square that was forming. It is still there! The Moon joined briefly, but that doesn't mean "it's over." The Moon is a catalyst. When the Moon joins an aspect pattern; the Moon foreshadows events, as it brings light to the other planets. So the Moon by even briefly squaring Pluto and Mars and opposing Uranus, set off the Cardinal Grand Square that activated the upcoming long-term Uranus-Pluto square. This outerplanet square is still perfecting (it's not quite exact yet) and will be in effect through 2015.
Since Pluto rules corporations and mass money in general, the square to Uranus is an indicator of global change. It's more than individual fortunes, it's everyone, all together being effected.
So are you going to contribute to the mounting fear, which feeds the stress and keeps the spiral going down to lower consciousness, or are you going to join the lightworkers and join The Shift to a higher consciousness, a higher dimension?! THe more of us who feed the fear, the worse it will get, faster. We are not headed 'out of this' soon. The coming aspects for August 2011 show increasing financial global pressure. I cannot tell you how to invest, but the more of us who panic, the faster we will insure a negative, longer-lasting outcome.
What to do? Try replacing thoughts of 'never having enough' with appreciation for what you have, what is given to you, what you have to give, for all you discover on your path every day. And watch how your appreciation attracts more to appreciate.
And how is the simple act of appreciation going to get you out of financial stress??? Focusing on your appreciation is the most effective and fastest way to go up the emotional scale, to feel better, to get to a place (vibration) where you can attract and allow good things into your life. Appreciation attracts better and better feelings, more energy, and that changes your life. As you put your focus on something, you attract more of it into you life. So while focusing on lack attracts more lack, focusing on what you do want attracts more of that too.
The (t-square) pattern Uranus-Pluto-Mars is forming can represent challenges, yet it can also act as a catalyst to help all of us break through to find our passion and share it.
To move beyond this point, we will become increasingly more globally minded, more holistic in our view, and more aware of how we relate to the whole. We are all integral parts, we all have a role to play, and we are waking up to that, remembering who we are behind our fears and defenses; remembering our love, our higher self that is connected to all that is.
[exact dates for the Uranus-Pluto square: June 24, 2012; September 19, 2012; May 20, 2013; November 1, 2013; April 21, 2014; December 15, 2014; March 16, 2015] Currently, Pluto and Uranus are within one degree of an exact square, close enough to feel its effects of global financial change.

Happy Birthday Mr President: August 4
Today is Barack Obama's Birthday! Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns!!!
Here's Mr Obama's Solar Return chart (solar return is the inside wheel, his natal chart is the outside wheel)
One thing is very clear from this chart-- President Obama's focus is on money and communicating about money. The most important planet in a Solar Return chart is the Sun. This chart puts Mr Obama's SR Sun in the 2nd house, of money. It's almost on the cusp of the 3rd, so there will be plenty of discussion and debate around money. Mars is conjunct the Return chart Ascendant, and his natal Venus, so he will be actively focused on finances.
Synchronously -- the bottom fell out of the stock market on August 4. More to share about that, cbeck the Mars article below.

Conscious Choice Day. Wednesday. August 3.
The current CARDINAL GRAND SQUARE is being underscored and highlighted by the Moon today. The Moon just entered Libra, and will conjunct Juno, oppose Ceres and Uranus, and square Mars at 0 Cancer and Pluto at 5 Capricorn.
This is a super interesting pattern because there is simultaneously a Mystic Rectangle that also includes Mars and Pluto, along with Mercury and Neptune-Chiron. Despite powerful drives to use power and force to manipulate, these efforts are not likely to be sustainable. Yet there is a choice -- you CAN find a way to compromise and use energy productively, for the highest good of all concerned, yours as well.
We have a choice: we can lean into our lower consciousness and breathe in and experience the fear of manipulation, victimization, lies, blame, delusion, and power OVER, and surrender our freedom -- OR -- we can consciously put our attention and intention on UNITY and share our radiant Selves.
What if all the disagreements and lack of alignment we are experiencing really came from within ourselves? What if our inner Selves are what manifests all around us? How can we SHIFT from blame/fear to love/acceptance? What happens when we chose to ASCEND our old limitations of lower consciousness and negative emotions? What if we could see through all the manipulations and not even be effected? What else is possible when we are self-empowered?
To break through the resistance of the Grand Square, you can taken a clue from the Mars-sextile-Mercury and trine Neptune and meditate actively. By focusing on your breath and intention, you can do any chore or task as a meditation. Being active can also stimulate your intuition.
Mercury Retrograde NOW: August 2 - 26
It's that time again! One of the 3 times every year that Mercury stations Retrograde for 3 weeks. Naturally, Mercury is affiliated with the number 3. For a complete Mercury Retrograde timetable, visit artcharts Mercury Retrograde page.
Starting July 15, Mercury entered the "Retrograde Shadow," which means Mercury will Retrograde back over the degrees it just traveled. Mercury's path has already slowed to a crawl as it approaches its Retrograde station next Tuesday. We may already be feeling typical Mercury Retrograde traits, including cancellations, delays, miscommunication, email or paperwork disappearing -- the usual. Yet, during the Retrograde Shadow we can shine our bright light and SEE the shadows for what they are, disturbing their entrenched, unseen, sabotaging patterns. Now it's time to release and remember our greatness!
This Mercury Retrograde station -- at 1 degree Virgo -- is sextile Mars, opposing Neptune, and close to making a trine to Pluto. This creates a Mystic Rectangle (2 sextiles, 2 trines, and an opposition). This patterns shows a way to cut through contradictions and clouds of confusion, symbolized by the (extended) opposition of Mercury and Neptune.
It's noteworthy that Mercury makes its Retrograde station just a few degrees before making a trine to Pluto in Capricorn. The powerful effects of words, thoughts, speech, ideas are under the spotlight. We are realizing, and re-realizing the vibrational effects of how we think and speak. Scientist have proven that freezing water forms frozen crystals that change according to how they are labeled, spoken to, thought of, or the music they are played. (Dr Emoto, The Hidden Power of Water).
Since Mercury will start to travel backwards, Mercury will move out of Virgo and spend most of this Retrograde station in Leo. Mercury, Retrograde and Direct, will oppose Neptune three times and sextile Mars twice. (Neptune: July 29, August 8, September 8; Mars: August 4 and September 29) This is not an easy time to make decisions to move forward -- your intuition may have a message that you may want to consider. However, this prolonged Mercury-Neptune opposition (normally lasting one day or less) gives us a rare opportunity to experientially understand the effects of making judgments based on false expectations. It's not just empty talk, we can "get" it. False judgments, spreading negativity, feeling hurt, resentful, or victimized, all cloud our ability to see situations clearly-- since this is an opposition, we may be seeing our shadow and casting blame on others, and if so, this is a perfect opportunity to take back your power and take personal responsibility for your spiritual and emotional growth, should that be your choice. THis doesn't mean blame yourself, just see it for what it is, be willing to simply look and let it be. What if all the things you thought were so awful were actually just the way they need to be right now? Where can you go from there?
Mercury in Virgo wants to do some housecleaning, starting within and radiating to your home, health, and office. So what do we need to do before we can leap forward and manifest more business and success, the promise of the trine to Pluto?
All Mercury Retrograde stations are about the energetics of how we think and communicate-- to ourselves and then to others. And since Mercury will station Rx while sextile Mars, it can seem natural to passionately speak your mind. Yet we also realize how deeply and profoundly the ideas and words we share effect our Selves, how we transmit that energy frequency to others, and what unfolds... When we tag anyone or anything with negative labels, we are firstly and mostly receiving the vibration of those words and thoughts within ourselves. We are the ones who can benefit from our positive thoughts-- or feel the damaging effects of our negative thoughts. The sextile to Mars underscores the value of intentionally keeping positive, cooperative energy flowing.
This Mercury Rx station gives us an additional month and a half to re-realize and directly EXPERIENCE the benefits of positive thoughts and communication -- first within our selves, and then radiating out to others. Then we can watch how our thought vibrations influence everything that happens in our lives, including our health. Extending positive words and thoughts to others can be extremely helpful for business and friendships. And good working relationships can become increasingly profitable when Mercury finally trines Pluto on September 12. What if we have more power by connecting than by competing?
Mercury Rx suggestions:
Take a 3 week fast from making, or even thinking, snarly comments. At least you can start to catch yourself in the act and gently remind yourself. Judgmental thoughts fill you with negative energy -- and block your ability to discern, a key benefit of Virgo. If you're offering negative energy vibrations to others, according to the Law of Attraction, you will continue to receive more and more... of what you don't want. How to get in the flow? Consciously find something to appreciate, even if it's the contrast of what you don't like. If you can hold a positive thought for just a few seconds, it can start to attract more positive thoughts, and more.... Welcome the flow of well-being!
Mercury Retrograde in Leo also suggests dialoging with our inner Child. A return to the 90s? Already been there, done that! Yet- this is Mercury RETROgrade, a time to return, regress, again, a chance to pick up missing pieces that we need to proceed. And since Mercury Retrograde is mostly in Leo, there may be something our inner Child needs to communicate and release old beliefs. If your childhood was ideal, then your inner Child may simply want to celebrate. And if your childhood left pain or scars, this is an opportunity to listen to your inner Child so you can move beyond limitations to living your greatness!
Virgo is a clotheshorse and Leo loves bright colors. Both Mercury and Venus will be in Leo -- and they will conjunct on August 16. So get those colorful frocks and outfits OUT of the closet and dress UP! You just may find retro and vintage treasures!
Mercury stationing Retrograde in early Virgo can start to bring up many recurring and long-held critical thoughts-- all the critical comments we've heard from friends, colleagues, clients, neighbors, relatives. Unconsciously, we hold on to these thoughts, so we attract more of them. As Mercury returns to Leo, we have an opportunity to let some of that go. You can release bad old feelings by honoring them, simply allowing them; by sending them loving, caring thoughts, you can start the process of re-claiming yourself by shedding old hurts, resentments, that slowly drain your energy and limit your options. Someone did you wrong? What could happen if you looked beyond who's right or wrong and just sent love to the situation? What if it improved, or at the least, you felt relieved of a burden.
And finally, during this slow-down and back-tracking of Mercury from Virgo to Leo and back again, while opposing Neptune, we can catch our shadow in the act of self-sabotage. We can see doubts and critical judgments as they build, ask ourselves whose thoughts these really are (98% of our thoughts are not our own), and consciously (Mercury) choose more positive, CAN do (Leo) thoughts.

Neptune returns to Aquarius: connecting to our connection
Neptune retrogrades back into Aquarius on August 5, station Direct on November 9, and be back in Pisces again on February 3, 2012. Then, Neptune will be in Pisces through March 2025.
Neptune is an outerplanet that is about the whole, everyone. This return to Aquarius shows us that before we can become unconditionally compassionate (symbolized by Neptune in its ruling sign, Pisces), we need to go back to Aquarius so we can have the experience that all is truly ONE. Then, in early 2012, we will be collectively ready to allow the empathy of Pisces. Perhaps new technology and social networking will get us ready to accept spiritual unity.
If you're not ready for the watery ocean of Neptune in Pisces, the effects can have you wind up in a muddy haze, confused and mesmerized. The return of Neptune in Aquarius gives us more time to understand the need for spirit in our lives.

The Mars Key: August 17th Comets & Planetary Alignments
This week, Mars enters Cancer and starts to activate a Cardinal Square.
Mars -- planet of HOT energy -- has been at the recent Eclipse points. There were 3 Eclipses in June/July (June 1, June 15, July 1). When planets contact Eclipse points, they are ACTIVATED. So we are experiencing the HEATING energy of Mars as it cruises through these points.
When Mars was at the 2nd of the 3 Eclipse degrees (24Sag23), many of us experienced record-breaking heat waves. We're not done! Mars conjuncts the 3rd (and last) Eclipse degree (9Cancer12) on August 17. At this time (Aug 17), Mars will be approaching a square to Saturn, so that is likely to create dramatic weather patterns. Meanwhile, this week, as Mars enters Cancer, the squares begin.
As Mars enters Cancer this week, it moves into a square aspect to Uranus (Aug 9) and opposes Pluto (Aug 11). Mars also squares Juno and Ceres (opposing each other - Juno at 0Libra - Ceres at 0 Aries). Ceres also approaching conjunction with Uranus. Attacking Mother Nature can create crisis and change. And that means nature outside ourselves as well as our inner nature. It is a call to end our ego-centered approach and embrace a heart-centered approach. Those who can move beyond being primarly ego-directed can experience this coming period, from August 17, 2011 - December 21, 2012, as an auspicious series of events, a new dawn of compassionate awareness just beginning, a new caring for Self and all of nature.
The Cardinal Mars-Pluto-Uranus t-square (actually a Grand Square including Juno and Ceres, goddess energy) suggests this is the time when those who hold on to the power of their ego are not likely to sail through this coming period. If you feel that you are already going through difficult times, and many of us are on many levels, you are in a rare position to surrender your ego before the Shift starts to manifest (Mars-Saturn square) and becomes more than a concept. This is a Shift out of victimhood, out of the shame/blame game; a time to release old traumas and move into a heart-centered approach based on Self-responsibility (opposing Pluto).
Some may ask why move to a heart-centered approach? What's wrong with being ego-centered, after all it's the way of the world, the way to get what you want in life. Yet, quantum physics is proving we are all connected, we really are all one. An ego-centered approach may no longer be sustainable because it is not fulfilling. If we are always trying to 'get' more, we are usually not satisfied with the results, it's never enough or good enough. We are not giving anything of ourselves, we are not sharing from our hearts. We need to value our contributions, no matter the (seeming) size of our circle of influence. Since we are all connected, our contributions radiate everywhere. When we repress, or don't value our contributions, we are also closing the door to receiving, so we're probably not receiving what we really want either, which gets frustrating and unfulfilling on a soul level. A heart-centered approach recognizes the value of sharing and does not view people whoa re inspired to share as opportunities to take advantage or manipulate. When Mars enters Cancer (Aug 3), it will trine Neptune (Aug 3), making ego surrender part of the flow.
During August, Mars will move from joining the Uranus-Pluto square to making a square to Saturn (Aug 25). This means The Shift will start to manifest.
There are a preponderance of supporting aspects that may make August 17, 2011 a major alignment date.
In the Mayan calendar, August 17 is an important date -- the last day of the 5th night-- considered "the worst night" or night of destruction in the Mayan calendar. Comets! Comets are messengers from beyond our Solar System; archetypally, they are aliens, visitors from beyond our Solar System bringing new information. Comet Honda will be at its closest point to Earth on August 17. This time also beings a visit from Comet Elenin (link to NASA JPL) that will come close to the Earth (22 million miles) starting later in August. For 3 days starting on September 25, Comet Elenin will pass between the Sun and the Earth, possibly creating the prophesied Three Days of Darkness. Mars, conjunct the 3rd Eclipse degree, will be part of a Cardinal Grand Square, as Mars squares Uranus and Saturn, and opposes Pluto -- a challenging and active aspect pattern that heats and inflames energy in unpredictable ways. The Sun will conjunct Mercury Retrograde and Venus, and oppose Comet Elenin, semisquare Mars, while Mars also squares Saturn and opposes Pluto - forget left-brain dominance, this is a call to Unity. [Comet Elenin visits our Solar System once every 3600 years. It is also known as Ersis, Nibiru, Marduk, and Planet X. It is believed that when this Comet passed between Mars and Jupiter 7200 years ago, it triggered the Great Flood described in the story of Noah's Arc.] The Heliocentric (from the Sun's perspective) chart shows an exact conjunction of Earth and Mercury -- exactly opposing Venus and the Sun. Pluto, square Moon-Uranus, opposing Mars, and square Saturn can signal a powerful shift in financial markets as frequencies change.All together, this chart signals a time when great and powerful energy can be unleashed, with a new dawn approaching. Is this the beginning of the predicted changes? The frequency is rising, a new frequency of cooperation is entering, a higher frequency reached by sharing; however, the lower, ego-based frequencies may no longer be sustainable. If we truly believe that other people are 'supposed' to do whatever we think they 'should,' and judge them harshly if we think they don't, we are going to have a big challenge as the vibrations start to quicken because you are not standing in your full, divine power.
Now, without getting political, let's get into some politician's charts. John Boehner, born on November 17, 1949 in Cincinnati, Ohio (his natal Sun will be squared by the Sun on August 17). His chart is directly and heavily impacted by these Mars transits. He will have an exact Uranus-Uranus square this month, as Mars also conjuncts his Uranus -- big changes for Mr. Boehner. Since his time of birth is not known, his house positions are not known either. However, he does have a Moon-Neptune conjunction (exactly how tight is now known due to lack of birth time) but this aspect ccan make people extremely emotional, yet not able to define their overwhelming emotions. Yet, it is his Uranus that is receiving the heavy aspects during August 2011. So the 'debate' continues....
President Obama, at his Solar Return this week - August 4, has a very empowered, positive chart. Mercury will even Retrograde back to his Uranus, giving more time for people to change their minds. Time permitting, I will add more.... Harry Reid (Decenber 2, 1939 in Searchlight, Nevada) would be interesting to look at as well.
And of course, you can dismiss this as mere mythic nonsense, delusion, fantasy, hype. And you may well be right! All perspectives are valid and welcome. No one can accurately predict the future, and anyone who says they can is doing some heavy marketing-- as well as dismissing free will. Still, this material is researched, meditated on, and thoughtfully written for you to read and hopefully get some insights and benefits. Even if 'nothing happens', there is substantial supporting evidence from ancient cultures worldwide, as well as modern scientists. And the mythology we are building around 2012 is well worth considering.
