Solar Eclipse Aug 11, 2018, 18 degrees Leo, 19 year cycle

Been very very busy and so I have missed everyone for a while. But despite the fact that I am packing for trip tomorrow, I wanted to make certain everyone has a heads up about Saturday's solar eclipse.. this is a biggie and it can be a life changer for you.. it is one that happens once every 19 years, and it will amplify - help manifest anything you create as your intention at this time.. so tonight and tomorrow.. please state clearly your intention for the next 3.5 years. Abundance, true love, career advancement, a child, a home, etc... make it clear and let your emotions fill it up. If you know your chart, the eclipse is 18 degrees Leo, so if you know what house it lands in in your chart, that will also indicate how it will best amplify, expand or add to your life. (occurs at 2:56 am PT / 5:56 am ET)

Here is a quick run of the houses, so you get the idea and if you need to see your chart (since I will be out of town) go to the link below and you can make your chart and see where this eclipse will land.

1st house - all about how your appear, your looks, your ability to attract based on your looks, how people see you.

2nd house - your income, how you spend your money and what you really value.. what's important enough for you to spend money on.

3rd house - your communication skills, how you think, who you talk with in a personal way, your neighbors and your siblings.

Mercury Retrograde Begins - Perfect Storm Approaches for Trump

Mercury Retrograde Begins Today July 25, 2018

So begins another Mercury Retrograde... I expect you have been experiencing it already as we have been in the shadow for the last two weeks. At 10:03 pm PT tonight (1:03 am ET) Mercury will station retrograde at 23 Leo 27. For Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus & Leo born with their sun between 18 & 28 degrees, you will likely have some people or social events return out of the past. If your Mars is within these degrees, you want to be more cautious driving or using anything metal today, because your mind will likely be out of sync with your body. So pay attention.

Leo is such a social sign that I expect this to be an easier retrograde than those we have experienced in the recent past. 

Though for the American president, it is not likely to be that at all. His social past will be on display as it began last night with a tape released. This 23 degrees directly semi-sextiles his natal Saturn creating more friction in his workplace, and close relationships, as it reveals hidden investments from love affairs to money.

But this is only a set up as the planets continue to move into a perfect storm, which occurs around September 6th when Saturn stations and some form of judgement arrives.

Saturn is the planet of discipline, hard work, structure. As it travels through our charts, it forms aspects that ask us to examine our structures and to work through the issues regarding what we have learned from our fathers or those in authority. It is a planet that can take everything away from us if we have not learned the lessons we set for ourselves before we were born (as seen in our charts.)

For this president, a perfect storm is gathering when Saturn stations in a quincunx to his progressed Saturn, while Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus and Neptune also activate other planets and luminaries in hard aspect in his chart. This day could be a physical event as well as a legal one.
