\"MF-Aug-2010-day-shot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SOL:<\/strong> **Morning Hours All Month**<\/strong> For the beginning of August the Sun will be leaving the house of Cancer and travelling across the sky towards the constellation of Leo where after August 15, 2010; he will fully be in Leo for the remainder of the month.<\/p>\n

Though the stage is being set for a late summer change in planetary dominance, the Sun still rules the mornings all month long.\u00a0 In August it will be different than July due to Leo\u2019s influence.\u00a0\u00a0 IMO Sun worship will be even better than last month.\u00a0\u00a0 And using the Sun as an ingredient in your magick could be potent this month.\u00a0 Things like a protection spell, a healing\/recovery spell.\u00a0 Keys for these sorts of magickal operations are located at the end of this article.<\/p>\n

PS: Too much Sun can be difficult (weather magickal or mundane).\u00a0 A \u201ccooling-off\u201d secret is; taking the tarot image of the STAR and uttering the Tetragrammaton \u201cHehYodVavHe\u201d.\u00a0 Leave the card in plan view and go about your life\u2026. You will see relief.<\/p>\n

MERCURY:<\/strong> **9:00AM to 2:00PM **<\/strong> will be between the houses of Leo & Virgo and will be in a kind of funky limbo for the first half of the month.\u00a0 About August 15th,<\/sup> 2010 Mercury will desist in its retrograde and will join the celestial show.\u00a0\u00a0 Mercurial matters should be kind of neutral for the first half of the month and then after the 15th<\/sup> strap your red-wings on!<\/p>\n

SATURN:<\/strong> **12:00PM to 4:00PM**<\/strong> in the house of Virgo: will pace with the constellation all month long.\u00a0 At the beginning of August; Saturn inches closer to the Mars\/Venus reunion; when on the 8th<\/sup> he passes the couple by, heading towards the Sun.<\/p>\n

It seems that Saturn has his own business, this month. \u00a0Magick with Saturn may be good the last week and a half of the month of August, other than that you may be swimming upstream.<\/p>\n

MARS & VENUS:<\/strong> **2:00PM till 5:00PM** <\/strong>finally these two are reunited.\u00a0 It has been a long journey.\u00a0 It seems that the 15th<\/sup> of August is a big day this month, as this appears to be the day that the planets cross each other\u2019s zenith.\u00a0 If you were planning on doing magick with either of these planetary forces this month, I would consider waiting until as close to the end of month as possible.<\/p>\n

PLUTO: \u00a0**6:00PM till 10:00PM**<\/strong> will be located between Sagittarius & Ophiuchus in the night sky.\u00a0 This planet has been known to reveal secrets in gnosis. \u00a0The influence of Ophiuchus could be interesting.\u00a0 The formulae in the cabbalistic key below will assist you in contact with the planetary essence of Pluto.<\/p>\n

NEPTUNE: ** 9:00PM till 1:00AM** <\/strong>will be located between Capricorn and Aquarius.\u00a0 Neptune is far away, so a good time to attempt contact would be a time like now.\u00a0 This time-slot will be pure Neptune energy (if you wait too late, you will be feeling Jupiter, so go early).\u00a0 A prayer to the highest with a visual tool of all 4 Aces works wonders with Neptune (see key below).<\/p>\n

JUPITER & URANUS: \u00a0**10:00PM till 4:00AM **<\/strong> in the house of Pisces will be gliding across the wee morning sky. Though Jupiter is still holding counsel, he should be available through the god-form of Amun-Ra, and the utterance of EL.\u00a0 Should be fun.<\/p>\n

LUNA: <\/strong>By the <\/strong>9th<\/sup>, 10th, <\/sup>11th<\/sup>\u2026\u2026a full dark New Moon sweeps across the planetary groupings of Mars, Venus, & Saturn.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I would avoid magick these days.\u00a0 Ground and protect\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n

By the 25th of August the Full Moon at 1:00AM will be in the sky aligned with Jupiter.\u00a0 Jupiter as the alchemical father is in charge of all aspect of our universe.\u00a0 Luna plays a big part in interplanetary communications, so it would be only natural for her to witness the reunion of Mars & Venus earlier in the month, and then for her to directly report all aspects of the occasion the father Jupiter.\u00a0 In the astral world of planetary magick this is business as usual.<\/p>\n

Moon magick should be good between August 19th<\/sup> to august 26th<\/sup> or even the 27th<\/sup>.\u00a0 On the 25th<\/sup> avoid moon magick after midnight.<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS:<\/strong> SOL and Mercury in the morning and Jupiter in the wee.\u00a0 These are still the star players for the entire month of August.\u00a0 Neptune and Pluto are in great positions, for those whom dare.\u00a0 Zodiacal Magick in the wee hours will be good, as will elemental spells & witchcraft.<\/p>\n

The reuniting of Mars and Venus should bring mundane and magickal result all month, a celebration is in order.\u00a0 This should be an August to remember.\u00a0 The forces to draw manna from are limited this month, but limited to the best. Enjoy, and watch the sky like an ancient!<\/p>\n
