Laura Walker – The Moon contacts the North and South Nodes (which represent the past and the future in astrology) early today, making this somewhat of a day of destiny.
Remember that for the remainder of the month, until the New Moon, we are identifying and grouping what we would like to release from our past and present experience of life (traumas) with the Total Solar Eclipse on August 21.
Today gives us a good look at those things. Of all of the days of the month, the day the Moon contacts the Nodes is the day we are most able to see and align with our destiny.
The energetics of the Sun and Moon today enable a special type of spiritual connection with which we can see and align with destiny, particularly by looking back at things we took on for a long haul. The Sabian symbol for the South Node is “a large camel crossing a vast and forbidding desert.” The symbol specifies that the camel is large; therefore, it’s chances of completing “the crossing” are implicit. The total solar eclipse enables us to “cross.” It will enable all kinds of crosses.
The Full Moon phase continues to do its job of bringing the most energy for the enlightenment we need for our growth and development. Be alert, like the “watchdog standing guard,” and pay close attention to synchronicities, patterns, and animal sightings. Since the “volunteer church choir” is in effect with the Sun’s energetic, the enlightenment we need may very well be found in music.
It also may very well be found in the wisdom of others.
One thing to keep in mind: dogs can be simultaneously “on duty” and “on guard” while also enjoying the dog’s life. They span the spectrum. More than anything, dogs like to play. But when it is time to get down to business, they do not hesitate. We can learn much from Dog Medicine.
Hope you have a dog-gone good day, wise owls, but let’s not have it as a rehearsal. Let’s have the real thing.
