			    <title>Take a Breath</title>
			    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Today you might feel like taking a long and relaxing breath.  As you breathe, feel the breath of Source entering your consciousness.  In all of this tension, craziness of energy, and the push and pull of life we&amp;#8217;ve felt in the T-Square configuration of the Heavens, a Air Grand Trine has formed.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The focal point is the Moon in Gemini, giving us that inner playful feeling, a desire to talk, a wish to read or write, and our legs just want to dance.  The moon reaches out with the Grace of Source to Mars and Venus in Libra, giving our relationships an opportunity to take action with love, sensuality, passion and resourcefulness to heal any wounds. The willingness to talk with each other is strong and loving.  The Moon, Mars, and Venus extend the energy to Chiron and Neptune (both in retrograde)residing in Aquarius.  As we review our inner wounds, we can use compassion and reach deeper into the sacred meaning of our existence with our self and with others.  We don&amp;#8217;t have to battle our positions of being okay, especially if we align with the flow of this Grand Trine today.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I so feel a Grand Trine is the Grace of Source&amp;#8230;.take it in, be blessed so you can deal with the greater T-square that continues to call for world-wide transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the way, we now have 6 points of light in retrograde:  Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron.  The call within is occurring.  We are entering the time of the year we call Fall.  Fall inward and discover the Inner Chambers of your Heart, Mind, Soul.  Renew and refresh you inner consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
AWEN!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			    <title>Heighten Inner Consciousness</title>
			    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mercury&amp;#8217;s retrograde days become official on August 20th, while at the moment it is moving through a &amp;#8220;shadow point.&amp;#8221;  It is in Virgo and helps us move inward to review our heart-soul desire to be of Service, it calls us to recheck our willingness to be healthy, and it calls us to look at how we are cooperating with Nature, other humans, and Source Itself.  Virgo, calls us to look at our ability to focus and perfect our reality to the best of our ability.  While moving in a retrograde reality, it offers the inner review, reflection of inner intentions, and prepare to rebirth  our intentions in due time(when it returns to its direction motion).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today, Mercury is also squaring the moon, which is in Jupiter.  It will call us to check our emotional intentions to advance our higher truth&amp;#8230;.or, we will use this square to feel agitated and want to move away from anything that is challenging us to live our truth, speak our truth, and act on our truth.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As has been shared before, the pattern of the T-Square that focuses on Pluto is still pushing and pulling on us, and further, another T-square has formed with the point being Venus in Libra, squaring the South Moon Node in Cancer which opposes the North Moon Node in Capricorn and Pluto in Capricorn.   We are most certainly being asked to be alert, aware, and awake to what is occurring in our relationships and partnerships, our home and our working environment&amp;#8230;are we changing?  Are we adjusting?  Are we balancing?  We are asked to question, listen to Higher Truth, and make the changes that will support a new balance and new reality.  We are in charge&amp;#8230;a God/Goddess given right!  Our Inner Source is the point we want to connect with and all will move easier into the realm of the higher desires we feel and are called to create!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			    <title>Lammas - Grand Square - Committment</title>
			    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some weeks back I shared I had been looking for the August Grand Square and couldn&amp;#8217;t find it.  When researching the &amp;#8220;right time&amp;#8221; for Lammas Ceremony, I found it!  Lammas is the First Harvest Festival of the Celtic Tradition.  It is a cross-quarter festival and thus best performed when the Sun is in 15 degrees of Leo (for this festival). That occurs, by the way on August 7th at 8:00 a.m. PDT.   In the research I found the Grand Cross that will be in Cardinal Signs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today, August 6th, the field of the Grand Cross is building, tighter, tighter, and tighter.  Just minutes before 3:00 pm, the Moon will enter 0 degrees of Cancer and activate this potent vibration of the Cardinal Grand Cross.  It will join forces with the T-Square I&amp;#8217;ve written about several times:  Locking in with Saturan in Libra, Uranus in Aries and opposing Pluto in Capricorn, the Moon takes the lead and stirs deep emotional awakenings.   The Sacred Geometry of this Grand Cross (or Grand Square) pulls, and tugs, pushes, and frustrates as it calls forth the Awakening!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Moon is in its Balsamic stages, wanning in its power, sleepy in its nature and thus, as we reflect this energy, we may be in the same state.  As the Moon is in Cancer (its point of Dignity and power), we might want to use the energy of Cancer to hunker down and into our Home-Base, our sacred container.  Not a bad idea, for that will allow you to enter the Sacred Home within and utilize the vibrations of the Grand Cross to review how you are helping or hindering the power of the Universe in Its call for Greater Changes.  You may allow yourself to hear the inner voice while you disengage from the clamor of outer reality&amp;#8230;.just long enough to gain sacred insight of the highest authority and then be willing to bring that insight back out to the field of active practice of transformation through peace, love and harmony.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Moon is in a semi square with the Sun, so darkness cannot remain in this intense shift of the cosmos.  The Sun continues to active and agitate Saturn and Uranus.  No part of the Grand Cross can be left without the Light of Source reminding each individual State of Existence that Source is the Director of the events.  The agitation will question Loving attudues.  Do you have the Unconditional Love activated within?  Are you willing to turn to love rather than angry agitation?  Are you willing to be a part of the Great Creation of the New World forming?  Are you willing to become Child-Like in your reverence to the journey of the New World (remember, the Sun is in Leo and Leo loves to remember to play)?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I find it awesome to discover that this Master Grand Cardinal Cross is activating over Lammas. This is not only the Festival of the First Harvest, but a time to review committments and to align in a sacred way to the commitment of your heart for your Spiritual Intentions, your Relationship intentions, your Career Intentions, your Health Intentions&amp;#8230;whatever your intentions are&amp;#8230;it is time to commit or recommit.  Be sure to check out the ritual at:  &lt;a href=&quot;http://facesofwomanspirit.com/pdf/Lammas.pdf&quot;&gt;http://facesofwomanspirit.com/pdf/Lammas.pdf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gift of our Changing times is the gift of recalling and LIVING the reality that we are SOURCE.  It is a wonderful time of realizing we have the inner power to transform our personal self to a Master and create the peace, love, and harmony of life we all say we desire.  It is a time of truly recognizing the Empowered state of the Creator we are and create from the Love of Knowing and the humblness of realizing we don&amp;#8217;t have to stop our selves from bringing forth changes in our personal life and seek to embrace the aspect of humanity that reminds us, though seemingly separate, we are all one and our changes effect the changes of All.  May you walk the path of the Cardinal energy (Leader, Initiator, Mature, Balanced, Caring, and Structuring) and know that in such alignment you absorb the higher awareness that you are the Leader of the New Reality.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please read over several of the notes that speak of the T-Square so you see all the players of the Grand Cross.  May you find peace and may you experience joy in the reality that you are a creator.  May you embarce the Ritual of Lammas and commit heart and mind to the higher intent of Manifesting your Desires out of Gratitude for the Abundance you do carry&amp;#8230;an abundance of energy that is transformed into matter according to your thinking, feeling and acting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Warm blessings for a Delightful Lammas.&lt;br /&gt;
Katherine&lt;br /&gt;

			    <title>August Here! Energy Abounds!</title>
			    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Every astrologer across the world is watching the vibrations of August and the tense realities that are shape-shifting our world.  I&amp;#8217;m no exception and I know you are likely feeling every burst of energy that is flashing with the arcing lights of each planet through the zodiac and beyond.  Stress or Peaceful Eesy Living?  Which shall it be?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By now, most of you who follow this blog, know that I&amp;#8217;m a bit of a pollyanna.  I try to find the good in the challenge.  This is no time for an exception.  Oh, yes, I&amp;#8217;m quite aware of the tensions that are occurring through the vibrations of the cosmos.  However, I hope, also, to share the way through the tensions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have a tough day today.   The moon in Taurus is leading the way.  It is at stand off positions with Pluto in Capricorn and Venus in Virgo.  Have you noticed how active Pluo is?  Oh, yep, not going to let go of its position just yet.  Today is more of the &amp;#8220;Who&amp;#8217;s in control&amp;#8221; showing up.  Remember, control is a challenging emotional need to keep your stance in any situation.  Usually, to keep it, you have to fight for your right to be (whatever your trying to be).  Capricorn and Pluto together are strong forces of Will.  With the moon hitting this energy field and riding through Taurus, the emotional will is stubborn, heels dug in, and the need to hold on to possessions a fearful drive.  The Moon also arcs the ruler of Taurus, Venus (who now resides in Virgo), and with a challenging energy arcing at it, it will dig deeper into right and wrong, good or bad and righteous judment (in which there is no such reality).  Can you see the trend here?  Oh, my Gos!  Too much of a challenge to deal with?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well,  Move into the sublevel or spiritual level of each of these and you can create a change in the position of consciousness that does not have to take control, simply be in charge of yourself, your inner moods, and direct a more positive outcome.  The Moon vibrates with the Law of Wisdom (most certaily inner wisdom).  The Moon is Exalted in Taurus, so takes a very positive alignment with that inner wisdom and the Taurus radiance of the Law of Life Master&amp;#8230;Master your inner wisdom and you will release resolutions that direct positive outcomes.  Venus, the Law of Creative imagination, most certainly will assist you in allowing your imagination to run the course of solutions and an ability to find the right relationship with anything and anyone to solve problems.  Ah, Virgo carries the Law of Wholeness and along with the imagination power, you can see the wholeness in everything you are doing, especially when you are taking mastery over your inner self and grasping your inner wisdom.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ultimately, the sublevel, spiritual consciousness of Pluto continues to release the power of Soul Evolution and the Perpetual Intelligence of the Universe, calling you to respond to the Greater Changes in a mature (Capricorn) manner.  Capricorn offers the Law of Living, and I remind you that is a law that reveals we are living on all dimensions at once.  With that gift of knowledge, we can use other dimensional states of awareness to enter our Wholeness, release our ability to change, use the power of creative imagination to gain the new direction, take mastery of that new reality and flow with higher wisdom in our daily activity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know all of this will help you as you continue to dance the dance of issues noted in the T-Square I&amp;#8217;ve made note of on this site.  More and More and More of the same energy keeps capturing all of us.  However, the Life Expanding Jupiter, and the Innovative New Beginnings of Uranus are most certainly able to assist all of take in the discipline of Saturn and the action of Mars to uncover the best way to find balance, respect, love and honor for all life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
AWEN!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
