The Crossing Arrives

Welcome to the cosmic intelligence briefing with Tom Garland. We explore the energetic, cultural, and astrological patterns that shape our collective experience. Logic leads us, light guides us, and community connects us on this journey of deeper patterns and higher perspective. Tom Garland is a metaphysical adviser, astrologer, and systems thinker. His work integrates western and vadic astrology with technology, economics, and philosophy. Each month, Tom offers an in-depth cosmic intelligence briefing, exploring patterns that shape our world. We embrace two paths: logic, focusing on reason, systems, and evidence, and light rooted in intuition, symbolism, and energy. All perspectives are welcome in this conversation. Engage with curiosity, share observations, and respect all ideas in the chat. This video is produced in partnership with the Academy of Logic and Light, which creates accessible content to bridge logic and light. Co-host Julie Christine supports the live experience as community liaison, gathering your questions and themes throughout the video. We believe in two paths, one conversation where all perspectives are welcome. We bridge logic and light. building community and expanding consciousness together. Enjoy the show and feel free to share your questions and where you're watching from in the chat. >> Hello and welcome back to another episode of the cosmic intelligence briefing. >> Um and I'm Julie and we are excited to be here today. Welcome. >> Yep. Exciting. Exciting. put lots of the energy right now. >> Oh man, I Yeah, I was just we were just talking ahead of time and and the clients that are coming in right now are are running hot right now. There is there is a lot happening in everybody's life and making sense of it all. Um yeah, it's it's pretty it's pretty uh poignant right now. Yeah, I'm I'm noticing some interesting themes and I was wondering if you were noticing any themes, but a lot of stuff around like family wounds, um, old like paradigm stories that they're letting go are some of the themes I'm noticing. I don't know. >> Yeah. I mean, >> yeah, you could go back to the February Saturn Neptune, right? And so that didn't that didn't just happen on the 19th and we're done, right? It's it's dissolving old structures, right? Seeing through illusions, family wounds, uh you know, letting things drop away and and and not have so much attachments to to the suffering that those things have caused us throughout our lives. So, absolutely, you know, and it's happening macrocosmically as well. I mean, look at what's going on on the planet, you know, everybody's starting to see through it, you know. I mean not everybody of course but definitely there's an acceleration happening. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's it's evident and it it's nice again to have these sort of places we can come to and feel kind of supported in the chaos because sometimes you feel like you're kind of losing your mind. It's just every time you turn on the news it's weirder. >> Oh absolutely. Yeah. No, this I I think our little come togethers are like let's get in the helicopter and let's fly up above the forest and let's see what's really going on. Exactly. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's perfect. Awesome. Well, I'm glad that we're here and I'm Thank you for impart with your >> Oh jeez. Oh yeah. I mean, we got a lot to cover because, you know, there's been some pretty hefty significant months this year, which we all knew was coming in, but we're kind of at the culmination point. After we get through August, there's not going to be as rare significant uh goings on in the cosmos. we're going to start to get back to regular type astrological hits that we get, you know, but all the big movements have happened. You know, the big outer planets have moved into their little positions over the last couple of years and have moved into signs within nine months of each other. All these things are hugely rare. And so this when we go into August, the eclipse season is kind of the, you know, as we're kind of calling it here. I mean, last month we called it the calm before the crossing. >> Okay? And so, you know, when when we're talking now is that the crossing's arrived, right? And and so we're here and we're in that we're in that eclipse season window. We're in, you know, the new moon happened on the 14th. So, we're in that 28 days that takes us to the to the eclipse. And um yeah, there's a lot to go through. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's get to it. >> Okay, let's get to it. All right, so yes, so the crossing arrives. Now, I have a little subtitle there, you know, a shadow over the crown. So, we're going to get to that. All right, but really the crossing, it's it's no longer, you know, ahead of us here. It arrives tomorrow morning. Okay. Now, just to kind of encapsulate what we're going to talk about today. So, the next thing that the sky is going to do when we get into tomorrow, and that's, you know, after that achieving perfection in a sense in the sky, there's going to be a shadow that's cast over the crown. And we'll get into what the crown kind of is and what it's about. So the shadow crosses on August 12th. Okay, that's the date of the first eclipse. And you know, August 15th, 3 days after that totality, we're going to come back together on this channel and we're going to go together and read together what's revealed from that eclipse. Right? So I think we're we're scheduled on August 15th and we'll get into what happened. I mean, usually with an eclipse, things happen within the first three days before to three days after. That's usually the major eclipse energy window. And so, we'll get to talk about what might have been revealed as we go towards the final eclipse towards the end of the month. So, lots to talk about. All right. So, this is kind of the helicopter view, if you will, of what we're going to be hitting over the next, I'd say, month and a half. Okay, we're we're at the middle of July, a little bit past that, and we're kind of looking out a bit till September. We're not going to talk a lot about what happens um at the next eclipse until we get to the next show, but there's plenty to talk about, believe me. So, okay. So, what were and again if you saw the last time we were together, we talked a lot about this grand lattice, this grand sex tile. People call it Barbo's bucket or basket or what have you. Okay? And it's been talked about by a lot of astrologers out there on YouTube. And and just in summary, what it is is you have the outer planets, which you have to sit here and and really think about how slow these planets move in relation to us. And and for them to actually come into these sacred geometrical angles and they all line up at the same time, I mean, it's it's just out of control. I mean, you're going to have outer planets trying each other, sexile each other, square each other, oppose each other, and those don't happen very often. But to have them all hit at certain points at the same time, I mean, like we said in the last video, it was like 6,000 plus years ago. And so this is kind of a convergence of energy, right? So we have Pluto at 4° Aquarius, Neptune at four degrees Aries, Uranus at 4° Gemini, Jupiter at 4° Leo, and starting tonight, the moon moves into Libra, which is kind of clicking into place with all of these outer planets that have been slowly clicking into place over the last several months. Okay. Now, it's almost like we talked about there's instruments getting calibrated and an orchestra is about to kind of make a hit here. [snorts] And tomorrow morning, at least on the Pacific uh daylight time, it's about 5:20 a.m. The moon clicks in at 4° Aries and kind of completes this really interesting lattice. So, uh, you know, whatever you're doing, you know, if there's time that you're going to be able to to be somewhere and just be be in a place of presence and feel into the energy, I I that's what I'm going to be doing. So, do what you need to do. Okay. Now after that you kind of get to the 27th which you've got here in the second part and that's when the lunar nodal axis clicks out of Virgo and Pisces and moves into Leo and Aquarius. And that's a huge transition. It takes a year and a half for this to happen normally or usually. So, when it's clicking in at this time, you know, with everything else going on, um, there's something to this. Okay? And here's the thing. It's clicking into the sign of kings. All right? The south node K2 is clicking into Leo, right? Now, Leo's the sun's own sign. And, you know, it's the king. It's the sovereign individual, you know, and it's what what's the sun? It's the thing that everything else orbits around. and what's opposing it where the north node is okay Aquarius this is you know traditionally ruled by Saturn and what's Saturn it's the exact opposite of the sun the sun and Saturn are like oil and water so if you've got the king on one end you've got the commons on the other side the masses right the laborers the the you know the the structure that outlasts really any individual and so this axis is literally like one versus many kind of energy clicking into the next 18 months. Now you got the crown on one side, the crowd on the other, right? And even Aquarius is kind of the water bearer, right? And that's like a figure kind of like pouring out to everyone versus kind of like hoarding the water like like you know, say the throne would. And so yeah, Leo is the figure head, Aquarius is the network, right? Leo is kind of that centralized charisma. Aquarius is decentralized systems. And so you know what what is that like the collective, the committee. And so that's kind of where this shift is where everything's going to start to become a different kind of message as we go into August. And [snorts] then we hit that August 12th where we have the eclipse. We'll get into that. And then there's kind of this clarity check which is the next eclipse, right? Or right before the eclipse. That's the Mercury Kazmi. That's when Mercury conjuncts the sun. [snorts] And then we kind of get to some later things that again we'll talk about next time and dial that in more. But it's it's the 31st is really that bedrock date. That's a Jupiter trining Saturn. Again, two slowmoving planets. Okay, something like this doesn't happen very often. And there is this interesting let's let's ground something that brings us joy from within, right? Let's let's take this expansive faith and optimism of Jupiter and let's ground it into place. Okay, so that's kind of the overview of what we're talking about here. So, let's get into this eclipse that's coming up. All right. or I'm sorry, let's get into first it going into the the two different signs. So, if anybody knows, there's a ton of mythology about Rahu and K2, the north node and the south node. So, Rahu is the head of the dragon, head of the serpent, and it's a severed serpent. And there's a whole mythology story behind all this. [snorts] And when you think about the head of a serpent, it's it's considered hunger that never fills. So when when astrologers talk about Rahu or the north node, it's there's a hunger. There's an obsession. There's a need to go and get something and and and it's never enough. You always want more and more. And the tail is usually that which releases. Okay. So K2 is the tail of the dragon or the tail of the serpent. And so it releases, it dissolves, it's it's letting go of, it's moving away from. So astrologers always talk about this axis in your chart. K2 is usually where we've been coming from, what we're comfortable with, what what we need to let go of. And Rahu is what we're working towards. And it's usually freaking scary. Rahu can represent like the jungle kind of energy. It's it's scary. It's a roller coaster ride. We typically in our life will need and we need to move towards this. We need to evolve towards this. That's why we're here in this lifetime. And a lot of times it's scary and we fall back into our comfort zone and we go back to where K2 is. But that's supposed to dissolve. All right. So the head is in Aquarius. Rahu is in Aquarius. So the hunger is moving more towards the collective networks future roles and the tails in Leo right so there's a release of some identity visibility you know kingly kind of archetype so this eclipse is different because it's an eclipse a total solar eclipse. So you have the moon in front of the sun. It's a new moon and it's with K2 in Leo. So in a sense, the sun's being extinguished in its own sign and it's a dissolving energy. Okay? It's not I mean we have eclipses where the sun's with Rahu. Okay? So the sun is with K2 this time. And then you can get into the nakshhatras, the lunar mansions, you know, from ancient Vic astrology. And this is happening in Ashlesia, which you always want to measure cidurally. So Ashlesia is technically not where the sun's going to be tropically, but you always want to look at it where it is cidurially. And Ashlesia, funny enough, is the serpent's coil archetype, you know. So there's a sense of entanglement and secrecy and shedding skin type energy that's happening. So that kind of kicks us off. And then another thing I want to bring up that maybe a lot of people don't know about and this has to do with it's kind of an ancient thread. All right. So, there's something called the Soros cycle, the Soros series that was discovered by, and I'm trying to remember, um, it's Bernardet Brady, um, wrote the eagle and the lark, and and this is completely brought up in there, and and she they actually go into, um, all the different sorrow cycles and what the chart was of the original eclipse for the cycle. So, what is a sorrow cycle? Um, it's a it's a family of eclipses. All right, there's about 72 per cycle and there's one every 18 years and 10 days. And so, they all kind of descend from a parent eclipse. There's like the first eclipse of the series. And every 18 years and 10 days, you get another eclipse that's based off of the first one. So they all kind of descend from one parent. And there's, you know, and each member that comes in every 18 years and 10 days, you get this founding theme and it just shows up in a different part of the chart every time, right? So it's kind of like, you know, like from an IT perspective, computer perspective, you have the same source code, right? the original source code from centuries ago that still plays out in the current eclipses. So, this family that we're working with this time, it's about escape, okay, out of like a stuck, hopeless situation and into a field of open options. And there's one condition. So when you're shown the exit, when the cosmos shows you the exit, you take it. You don't hesitate. And so as I'm saying these things, think about what's going on in your own lives. Think about what's been happening, what's been unfolding and evolving in your life or in the lives of people around you. And you're probably seeing this in one form or another. So, the first one was the founding chart of March 17th, 1179. And so, I've got the chart here on the screen. I'm using the Southern Indian style chart just I think it's a lot easier to just look at versus a big circle with a bunch of lines and and whatnot. And just so everybody's aware, if you could see my mouse, the Southern Indian style chart is a fixed sign chart. So Aries is always right here. Then Taurus, Gemini, and so on and so forth around all the way to Pisces. And this line right here is the ascendant or the rising sign. So the moment that the actual eclipse happened on that day back in the day. Okay. So if you take a look at it here, what you're going to see is you're going to see the eclipse itself in Pisces. the sun and the moon there and it's kind of in the last degrees of the sign. And what is Pisces? It's the last sign of the zodiac. We're talking about endings, disillusion, the closing of a very long story. And the big thing about this chart, we don't have to spend a bunch of time on it, but you have Saturn and Pluto very close together, about two degrees together in Gemini. And so Pluto is about sometimes being stuck and welded to an identity. Pluto can represent the ego, the survival, the basic raw instinct that we have inside us. This is why people think of Pluto as the underworld. It's that deep part of us that drives us. And it's usually ego-based and it can bring power dynamics and manipulation and whatnot. And so there's a belief that you might be trapped in in this kind of energy when this when this eclipse happened. And the trap is really who you are. And so Pluto's job is always to kind of burn things down to the ground and rise like a phoenix out of the ashes. And so it is kind of about shattering false identifications. And so with Saturn conjunct Pluto, you've got this And then and again they're squaring the actual eclipse and squares are always about friction. And so this is kind of this I've learned this recently. Saturn is like the parent mind. It's telling us what we're not supposed to do with certainty whether it's right or wrong. And so with Pluto and Saturn conjunct there's this is how I'm supposed to live like this block. and and it's just you're welded into this trap. And so, and it's in the fourth uh natural no natural third house. So, um let me kind of move on here to Mercury. Mercury's right next to the eclipse, but it's not next to it to where it's combust. So, it's out layer of the eclipse here, but it's still in a place of debilitation in the sky in this chart. So there's options that are present, but they're narrow and there's so there's really only a few doors. There's only a few choices that Mercury can try to make here with all this blocked energy with Saturn and Pluto. All right? So that the energy here is we need to choose fast and you know Venus is in the chart um by itself. It's in its own sign. It's dignified. It's unaflicted. it's delighted where it's at. Um, so there's kind of this grace that you've got with Venusian energy and that, you know, there's a desire to change and there's a desire to go out and make something happen to nourish the soul. And so that's really the foundation of the eclipse that we're going to have that goes all the way back to 1179. So to kind of go back, the last one in the cycle before the one we're about to have on August 12th was in 2008 in August. So that was about what 18 years ago and 10 days. And so that was the last eclipse that kind of carried that energy from 1179. So most of us were around in 2008. What was going on in 2008? Right? There's, you know, you kind of had the uh I mean, we we did have Russia invading Georgia, you know, one of one of its old Soviet Republic part uh partners and it was kind of the first European war of the century back back then and uh or back in the early 2000s. And you also kind of had uh well, you had the Beijing Olympics going on. We've got the World Cup going on. We had Obama accepting the Democratic nomination before that in August and then of course we had the the signs of the great recession. You know there were things coming out of the woodwork about the mismanagement of the financial systems of this country and which you know followed with a huge bailout and the government starting to take some huge controls in our country. So that's kind of the basis of what was happening. And I would say before we kind of go into this next eclipse here, you know, think about it. What think go back to 2008 even? Go what were you trapped in at the time? You know, what doors opened at the last moment for you? Um, you know, think about what pattern was moving back then. And that pattern's knocking right now in a sense, but it's 18 years more mature. All right. So, what we're kind of at here is that everything when when you have an eclipse, there's, you know, it's a shadow. So, everything the shadow is going to touch is going to get asked the same question right now. And it's, you know, was this ever solid? So if you think about we've always, you know, any object out in the world that we're perceiving, you know, we we perceive it a certain way and an eclipse comes and a shadow is cast, you're seeing that thing in a different light. I mean, you know, I guess pun intended. And so there's there's questions to be asked and you don't have to just ask them in the moment that we're having them right now. you can go back to 2008 and you can kind of see a pattern and and and again how it's going to play out now. So this is the sky on August 12th. And so what you're going to see here is a Scorpio rising chart which is ruled by Mars and Mars is over here in the ninth house of higher belief, higher purpose, higher meaning, belief systems, religion. Mars is always about I need to do this. I need to take action now. or else I won't survive. And in cancer, Mars is in its weakest place in the sky. It's debilitated in cancer. So actions will be taken and they'll be taken in the sense believing that from a higher level this is what I need to do. But we really got to be careful. Is it really what you need to do? Will you die or not survive otherwise if you don't do something? Okay. Now, the actual eclipse is in Leo, as you can tell. And there's a huge stellium happening in here. All right. We've got the sun, moon, and the south node K2. That's the eclipse right there. But you've also got Jupiter and Mercury fairly walking together pretty closely. So, as we know, K2 just entered Leo. We just talked about that at the end of this month, at the end of July, it just enters Leo. So, this is kind of our first eclipse that's going to be in this axis over the next year and a half when we have, you know, we usually have two sets of eclipses a year. So, now here's the interesting thing. All the outer planets, Neptune, Uranus, and even Pluto to a degree, they're not getting aspected that much in this chart. Okay, they're they're around they're not really touching the eclipse degree itself at around 20° Leo. Okay, all these outer planets that we just discussed, they're all around four, five, three degrees at this point after that grand sex tile we had. They're all kind of starting to break apart a little bit. So, they're not really touching the eclipse. They're So, they're not as much involved. These heavy hitters are kind of sitting this one out. So, and then you go back to Mercury and Jupiter. Okay, it just stations direct on July 23rd. So, we've got about five more days, six more days until we're out of this Mercury retrograde. So, when we get to this eclipse, Mercury is going direct, but it's, you know, it's it's a young walking Mercury. It just kind of started going direct and it's walking with Jupiter. And so, Mercury is options. Mercury's experimenting, trying things, doing things, and going, you know what? If this doesn't work, I'll try this. And Jupiter has this faith and optimism energy. And so, the options are going to exist coming into this eclipse for people and for these collective situations that are going on around the planet. And then pretty soon after this eclipse on the 27th, you're going to have the Mercury conjunct the sun. And it's actually going to conjunct when they're in Virgo, not even in Leo. And that's actually Virgo is the sign of Mercury. It's where Mercury's exalted. So that interesting. We'll talk about that next time. So the eclipse is kind of a door opener. And two weeks later on the lunar eclipse, you're going to be able to read what's actually on these doors clearer. So, the eclipse is kind of opening the options up and when we get to the Kazmi and the actual eclipse, the the lunar eclipse, it's going to ripen these options. Now, Saturn's in Aries. It's trining the eclipse. It's offering structure. It's not imposing structure. You know, Saturn's actually pretty weak in Aries. Saturn applies brakes. Aries is not the brakes. And so that, you know, Saturn's not doing as much restriction as it usually can do. So kind of the instruction here is there's courage needed. You know, Scorpio ruled by Mars. There's courage needed over clarity. You know, there could be some murky water up ahead. All right? And the sight's going to return though when you get to the to the lunar eclipse. And you know what's even crazier is you know we said so the n when we get to nakshhatras and like I said before the the original founding chart the eclipse was in Ura Badraata which is the deep serpent of the depths. And this is mirrored later now with this Ashlesa eclipse. you know the coiled serpent. So there is this serpent kind of uh imagery across the whole thread of this sorrow cycle. So this shadow over the crown it's kind of I'm not saying that the throne's gonna empty. Okay. Now obviously K2 is a dissolving energy. You know, I kind of put this imagery on this graphic here of, you know, someone sitting on the throne and there's like this dissolving radiance right now. So, again, I'm not saying that a throne's going to empty metaphorically speaking, but this is where the shadow falls onto. Okay? So, it's a measurement, you know, not necessarily like an opinion of any kind, but it's a measurement of where the shadow is going to hit. not just individually but collectively. So if we go back to this chart, I'm not going to put these other two charts up, but I just want to bring them up. Donald Trump's chart. All right, he's the most famous Leo rising figure head that we've got that we've had in a long, long time. And so this stellium of planets that's in Leo for this eclipse is basically going to land I mean the south node itself K2 is going to land within 10 arc minutes that's within one degree of his exact ascendant of Trump's ascendant. And what's the ascendant mean in astrology? It's it's it's us. It's how we show up physically to our life. It's our energy. It's our It's just kind of how we show up, our our persona. And I mean, that's not just close. I mean, that's contact. And then Jupiter in Leo is within half a degree of his natal Pluto. So, something is going to happen. I don't know what. I have no idea. I don't know. you know that I am not on one side of the fence or the other about which side you should be on about who he is and what he represents. That's not what this is about. Okay? But you know, he is the authority figure right now. Whether we like it or not, he is. And so that's one piece of this. And then you have the United States chart, July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia. And you know the big chart that's used is called the sibly chart and Saturn and Aries right here on the eclipse. It's squaring the US sun in cancer all season long this whole eclipse season. So this is the executive authority of the country under a load test. And then Rahu over here in Aquarius is applying to the US moon which is you know again in a in in the house of in the sign of the common people Aquarius and it's amplifying okay it's amplifying the populace and then you've got Neptune in the sky squaring the nation's Venus which is kind of like fog over you know things like money and the things that that people feel like they have that's worthy of something to trade and exchange with others. And then the other big thing is Mars over here in Cancer that's you know kind of just cruised in. It's crossing the US sun while it's squaring Saturn and that's from August 31st to September 2nd. So really there's a lot of force meeting walls here right on the executive degrees of the US chart. So you know kind of after you know after an eclipse you know what's going to fall away just know that it was already hollow to begin with. You know we've been watching things going on since February. We've been watching things develop, things that that started and initiated like the Iran conflict. We've been watching what's going on in Russia and Ukraine even and and things that are happening all over the world. And I can tell you that whatever is falling away is hollow. It it it is meant to dissolve. It is meant to break apart. And whatever is going to last is what is really what is what's real. So, you know, true power doesn't disappear, you know, it it it kind of it migrates. It moves, right? And and with a lot of this being in Aquarius, there's this kind of leaderless momentum in August. And again, it's not necessarily chaos. It's just that the center of gravity is moving. So if you think about the dissolving of the crown or the or the the shadow on the crown, it's the center of gravity of power is moving to the people is kind of how I see it. And so, you know, when we get to this second eclipse, we're going to talk about this on on August 15th. you know, we'll be we'll be talking three days after that first eclipse and we'll go through the diagnosis of it together, you know, and just as a sneak preview, this imagery that I used here, it's it's it's kind of spot-on. It's like, you know, what what the shadows going to remove, the second one's going to flood in. The second eclipse is going to flood in what it all means. I've been talking a lot. Are you still there? >> Oh, there she is. >> I'm here. >> Okay. Just making sure. >> Just making sure. >> Sitting here in the You just left me in the ominous part and I'm like, "Okay, then what is the shadow bringing in?" >> Yeah. No, we're Yeah. Well, and and again, what I don't, you know, I'm not a Nostradamus, right? You know, it's it's really hard to kind of predict exactly what's going to happen, right? I >> I made the mistake of trying to do that back in February, March, and and I thought some pretty loud things were going to happen in February, March, and they weren't as loud as I thought, but they were subtle >> and and and significant, and they are still playing out, and they will play out for years. So it it it's I think it'll be more interesting to kind of look at it three days later and see what's transpired. So >> yeah. >> Yeah, >> I am excited for the timing of that for sure. >> For sure. So where does this land for you, right? Where where where is this happening individually for people? So here's the thing. Most eclipses, they only really speak to like a third of the zodiac directly, right? When we talk when astrologers talk like, "Oh, how does this eclipse affect you?" Clearly, if the eclipse is happening right on, you know, a big place in your chart, where your sun is, where your moon is, whatever. All right, that's it's going to affect those people. And then usually you talk about the opposing sign and then you talk about the squares where the big friction is. Now this one these well these two eclipses there's something for everybody. Okay. Because they all they hit all the 12 signs at some sign level and most eclipse seasons don't do that. And so it's going to do this through three separate three separate measurable configurations, right? So we have the solar axis itself of the eclipse and then the cross of that the the the squares. Okay? And then you're going to get the lunar axis, which is the next one, the next eclipse. And then and then the cardinal squares of that. So yeah, everyone has a house that's going to get hit by this eclipse. We all know that, you know, it doesn't even if you don't have planets right where the eclipse is, that eclipse is happening in some house of your chart. And a house is a certain area of life, certain themes of life. Okay? So here's the mechanics first. So the first eclipse, Leo and Aquarius, that's direct contact. So if you've got like the sun, the moon, the rising sign or any planets there, especially around 20°, this season is definitely personally addressed to you. Okay. So Leo is, you know, a role that you've been performing, you know, is really up for release at this point. And so what kind of leaves your life honestly was already finished to begin with. Now, if you've got stuff in Aquarius, at least even if you have stuff in Leo, but that Rahu energy is going to pull that energy that that whatever is leaving, it's going to pull you towards a new network, some new some new opportunity, some new grouping, some new some new collective of some kind. Okay? But the trap on both sides of this is that you don't want to you don't want to white knuckle this old skin that's that needs to be shed. You don't you need to let go. Okay. >> Now the second lane would be the Taurus Scorpio. Okay. That those are the squares. That's the pre those are the people that are going to get pressure tested. Okay. So the eclipse is squaring the important parts of your chart there. And again, the closer it is to 20°, the more pressure there will be. Now, it may not be a removal like it is on the Leo Aquarius line, but it's a stress test on really kind of what's gotten too rigid in your life. And so, how you survive August is going to be by bending. Okay? Be the tree, you know, in the wind. Don't snap, but but bend and move with it. All right? So lane three is is basically Virgo and Pisces. Okay. So that's the flood axis. So that previous image that I had right here. Okay. That's the the flood that we're talking about, that's that's the second eclipse. So if you if you have planets in Virgo or Pisces, that's your moment. Okay. So what's Virgo? Virgo's workload, health, discipline, logistics, all that's going to hit saturation points. So, you kind of want to ease your load before you get to the eclipse where it forces you to pause or do something else. Okay, with Pisces, Pisces is always about emotional overload, being a dreamy, okay, a pulling to retreat. It's a natural 12th house of isolation and solitude and let me go to my cave. You need to honor that. And the gift about all this is that the the kazmi that Mercury sun conjunction is going to land in Virgo the day before. So if you've got like say you know Gemini for example Uranus in that sign is also squaring that eclipse on the 28th. So you would you know those people treat tech communication uh messaging networks treat any of that disruption as just like personal weather. So you know make sure you've got redundancies do your backups. Um speak slower. do what you need to do with that Mercurial energy. And then finally, you've got uh the cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. All that have to do with um the Mars Saturn square at the same time of that eclipse. That's all yours to deal with. Okay? So, there's a lot of building all month. And that goes exact that square goes exact September 2nd. So, Aries, like the wall, any Aries people on on this on this uh podcast here, the wall you're pushing on, okay, is loadbearing. So, be careful. You need to test things before you shove too hard. Cancer people, um, check whether you're guarding something or you're just gripping it. Okay, Libra, Venus is going to be around there and it's going to host this like relational recalibration, okay, in your sign and there's going to be Saturn opposing Venus at that time, August 21st to 22nd. There's like a reality check date there. and then Capricorn, those authority structures, okay, the results and the performance that that's going on in your life are going to be shaking and they're going to be shaking above you and you're not, it's not your job to hold all of it up. You know, a lot of Capricorns feel that they've got to hold and perform all the way to the end. So just recognize what may not be your job and your responsibility to hold up. So what I would do is find out where Leo sits in your chart. Okay, that house that's the room where the shadows crossing. Okay, that's where the subtraction that's going to happen potentially. That's where it's going to be personal. So, if you want to know exact degrees and houses, if you need help with all that, if you need to know where this, you know, where you this is all going to land for you specifically, you know, that that's usually where, you know, book a session, you know, get talk talk to me, talk to an astrologer and make sure that you have some clarity, especially if you know things are building or things have been building and there's and there's clarity that's needed. So these are kind of like the overall kind of tips and tricks while we stand through this crossing of energy. So there's this 48 hour rule that I like to say just delay any reactions to any of the noise that comes up during this eclipse. Do not do don't be quick to judge. Don't be quick to act. Don't be quick to sever things. Don't be quick to to yell and scream and and and fret about. Take 48 hours. Okay? Usually most things, you know, you know that rule like when you you find something you want to buy, you you kind of you don't buy it yet, you put it somewhere and you know, put it on a 30-day calendar and uh usually by the time 30 days is up, you you you usually know really whether you want it for sure or not. Okay, so this is just a quicker 48 hour rule. Okay, usually something could evaporate in 48 hours. Sleep on it. You know what? Whatever you have to do. Um the clarity checkpoint for the month is August 27th. And again, we'll we'll bring this back up again next month, too. That's the sharpest decision window of the whole season, the whole from now until the end of August. So any contracts, restructurings, hard conversations that need to come up, hold for that if you can. Now the big bedrock date is August 31st that Jupiter trine Saturn. So after the shadow passes, the ground that remains by the time we get to the end of the month, that's the ground you're going to build on. So that's why I'm saying hold off on big decisions and you know, let let things realize within and don't project outwards too soon. You know, don't try to rescue what this eclipse season is dissolving. You know, if if holding something together requires this constant force, this white knuckle grip, this I'm on the river or the continuum of life and I'm I have to row over here and you're just exhausting yourself. Okay, that's that's that is the diagnosis. So redirect the energy to what stands on its own. So just in conclusion here, the shadow is going to cross on the 12th. We're going to be back on the 15th to go through it all. and then we're going to find out together, you know, what it all touched. So, and and by the way, I am finishing up my analog newsletter, the resonance papers, um for August to be shipped, you know, before August hits. And there's going to be a ton more detail in there to help out. So, if you if you want in on that, there's there's a I'm sure there's a link somewhere. We'll get some link somewhere. >> It's the QR code. >> Oh, yeah. The QR code. Yes. So, I I will probably be shipping that on Monday. It's an analog newsletter. It comes to your mailbox. So, if you miss the shipment, you miss it. So, if you're going to sign up or subscribe, do it over the next, you know, 24, 48 hours. So, that's kind of the overarching about the whole situation. So, I don't know if there's any questions or anything like that, but um >> there are but first. >> What' you say? >> I said there are questions, but mine's first. >> Okay. For >> um I have a little bit of terrified news for myself that I just found out that I'm a 20 Leo rising. >> You're 23 degrees Leo rising. >> 20 20 degrees Leo rising. >> Yeah. I just found out right this moment. Um and I'm scared. >> So you sh So you share the same ascendant as Trump. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So it'll be interesting. It'll be interesting to see the parallels. >> I am also curious because Okay. So I'm thinking about in 2008. Um, for me personally, it was a time where I was getting my life back together and like paying down like the debts of my first chapter. As I moved into my second chapter and doors were opening, it was the possibility that I could move to New York from Atlanta, became an international flight attendant, my life changed. And so, yeah, I'm I'm curious to see what those parallels. So, for me, 2008, I didn't really remember because I was already the recession. I was living in the airport. Yeah. And and I mean it's kind of parallel and similar to me too. I was definitely at a place of rebuilding after everything had been lost. Everything had been lost at the time. >> And so um so this time around again it's the maturing of that energy. Did you learn your lessons the first time around? And and that makes you more resilient, that makes you stronger, that makes you wiser this time around. >> Fingers crossed. >> Yeah. Well, I mean, we all know with the with this academy that you've built, I mean, it's pretty impressive. >> Yeah. >> And so, >> starting. >> So, if there's anything that dissolves, that's what's hollow. >> And it's and it's okay to let it go, you know, and and and no huge decisions until you get to the end of the month. And it's like, okay, now I know what's left. Now I know what to build on. It it definitely scares me because then I just also discovered that my Mars is uh 20 degrees in Aquarius. That seems important. >> So that's your seventh house. >> Yeah. >> So seventh house is about relationships, how you connect to others. And so that could be personal or professional. So yeah, think about I mean everybody's going to go through something. And so how will you relate and connect to the people in your life uh as they're going through the same types of things and how are they reacting or responding and then how are you going to not react and respond instead >> from a place of groundedness >> and centeredness. Yeah. And again, Mercury or sorry, Mars is about taking action. And and you know, this is something too that I've learned recently. >> Mars is not always used in our chart. You know, we use Mercury all the time. We use Venus all the time, okay? The Sun all the time, the moon all the time, but Mars is usually saved for emergencies or perceived emergencies >> of survival of I okay, I need to get this done. I need to act. I need to make something happen to survive. >> And so the key here then is clarity for you when it comes to these relationships and these connections of, you know, is this is this really that urgent? Is this a is this a a moment of survival? >> For sure. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Cool. Thank you. I love all the for everyone, too. And what's the signs that it's not touching? >> Well, I mean, if you think about it, that's touching pretty much everything between the two that the fact that the two eclipses two weeks apart are kind of in two different signs, right? So, even though K2 and Rahu moved into Leo and Aquarius, you can still have an eclipse where they're not exactly conjunct the nodes. they can be within I think it's 12 degrees. So, so by the time we get in to past the middle of August um that's when the sun goes into Virgo. And so at that point when we get to the full moon and have the lunar eclipse, the moon will be in Pisces and the sun will be in Virgo versus it being a Leo Aquarius eclipse 14 days before. So, so that's what I was saying like it's really it's affecting every sign honestly if you think about it. >> Yeah. Wow. That's wild. >> Okay. We have a question from the audience and I'm sorry Deb that I went before you because I know she was waiting since early this morning to write her question. >> So about the Aquarius Leonol access at the end of the month. How will it affect folks with both of those signs as a major point in their chart? Sun and Aquarius. So, so honestly, we kind of talked about this with your chart, but now, so yours was a rising sign, 7th house, and a Mars situation. Hers is sun in Aquarius, moon in Leo. Okay. So, um, you know, sun in Aquarius is interesting that there's a lot of detachment that the Aquarius sun people have there. There's a lot of awareness and knowledge and intelligence that inspires them to be a certain way. But Saturn the ruler restricts a lot of the sun's, you know, radiance and brilliance to a lot of times to where a lot of times it comes off as aloofness with people or or Aquarius people kind of have that that sense of detachment, right? And so um the key here with just that and even the moon in Leo at this point moons are moons are great in Leo. Um moon and sun are friends. So moon is delighted in Leo. There's there's a um moon moon gets a lot of nourishment and attention in Leo. So it really depends on what are the degrees and what house structure is it for you. So, you know, there the eclipse is almost the reverse on the 14th for for Deb here, you know, so depend on the the degrees and how close her sun is to the 20° axis, that's going to be, you know, really how intense it is. Um, and sun has a lot to do with with what we're inspired to do in our life, where we get our inspiration, what we're inspired to go out and do, what kind of kingdom do we want to go out and build in in our life. And so, depending on what that house is for her, that's usually the area of life that that brings inspiration that that you know is how our kingdoms are built from. So this eclipse in a sense for her it's an opposition. The sun's in Leo, her son's in Aquarius. And so the eclipse is almost in the seventh house from her son. So there could be a tension, a push and pull between maybe others in her life that need to uh build something or inspire to do something that might conflict or have some tension between what she's trying to do in her life. And then you know when it comes to the moon, the moon is how we see our reflections in others and how we adapt and how we get our needs met. And so so again depending on what's what house that is for her, that realm will have a shadow cast upon it. And again, it doesn't that's not a bad thing. You know, shadows being cast is not a bad thing. It is just a shift in the light. So it's a shift in perception >> which does sound scary sometimes. >> Well, in a sense it there's a there's a there's definitely a depth to it because Rahu and K2 that it's a destined it's it's fate and destiny kind of energy. >> You know when we when there are eclipses in history those are when nations rise and fall. Those are when leaders rise and fall. Those are when wars are won or lost or battles are won or lost. And look at what's happening around the world right now. I mean, I if if you're paying attention to the day-to-day over there in the Persian Gulf, um it is lighting up right now. It is escalating into fullcale conflict. And it's not just the US and Iran. It's it's all those Gulf States. And even Pakistan's getting pissed off um because they have an agreement with Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia is getting hit right now. And then you have the Russia Ukraine thing. I mean uh China and Russia just had a huge falling out from a pipeline deal and China is literally um preparing for a coup of Putin officially. So things are getting desperate, things are escalating and we are just walking into this eclipse season. So, it it'll be really interesting to see what what the shadow casts on all of this. >> Yeah. Yeah. I really like the parts of the illusion fading away about financial things because it's all tied to money when we really look at it. All all organizational structures follow the money. So, I think that's an interesting perspective and it's interesting to see how many people are all tied together and how many stories are all connecting behind the scenes that are finally coming out that stories that people you wouldn't have connected >> for sure. You know, and and money is the is a big part of this too. Um we're finding out where all the money's been flowing. >> You know, that was something that happened the other day. There was there was this big shipment to to um through Syria to Hezbollah in um Lebanon and it was all revealed in these tankers that there was a bunch of arms being shipped from Iran into into Yeah. So I mean we're finding out where money is being sent. We're finding, you know, show me the money, follow the money trails, and it's happening everywhere around the world right now. >> Yeah. Um, you know, one big move was all the all the um oligarchs in Russia are freaking out right now and they're moving their yachts over to Turkey right now because including Putin. Like they're all freaking out and and harboring their money. No pun intended. >> Wow. Wow. How fascinating. It's just Wow. >> The symbolisms are ripe right now. >> Yeah. It's interesting to have like a perspective of being able to sit at home and watch some of the world stuff like the seat that we get that we never had before to have access to to like watch in whatever is time real time but it's fascinating. Yeah. >> And and I think it's is it it's tomorrow is the final World Cup match >> between Argentina. >> You know Messi's la Messi's probably his last game. you know, this famous soccer player and um you know, Argentina won last time, I think it's four years ago. And so, you know, there's there's so many distractions that that are that are that are able to pull our attention away from what's really happening. >> Yeah. you know, and so um just, you know, take that into consideration, too, that that take enough time tomorrow on this amazing once in human history configuration that's sacredly geometrically perfect and and feel into that and and really take some time to to know what's distracting you from what's real. good advice in general and really good advice for what's coming and oh gosh wow I know that I plan on waking up in the salt flat tomorrow and meditating so I am taking your advice >> yeah tap in for sure >> yeah well thank you um Deb said she's going to check out her the houses in her chart and she said thank you >> oh yeah do I you know what I might have her stuff, I think. Let me check. >> What a treat. >> I do. Look at that. >> Deb. >> So, it's her fifth house and 11th house axis. And she's got Mercury retrograde as well um within five degrees of her sun. And so, her sun is on the 23°. So it's within three degrees of the nodal of the eclipse axis. So yeah, so she she'll be feeling it. And fifth house, fifth house is a dharma house. It is it is our it's it's what is our truth and it's the house of joy, self-expression, creativity, fun, romance. It's it's you know, fifth house is a great house. It's a trinal house. >> Okay. Also, the craziest part is Deb's in the challenge with me and that the week of August uh to n the the week of that energy, our theme is joy. >> Can't make this [ __ ] up. >> You can't. It's almost like we planned it. Well, and so so really with Rahu being right there, um I mean it's still out of orb a bit from her son, but man, Rahu is getting real close to her Mercury. So there is something about her being able to experiment and try and communicate and and um be curious about, you know, how do I express myself? How do I express this new truth about myself that's coming forward these days? And you know, with the sun there, yeah, what's my authority in this? What what what's my kingdom about? I keep bringing those terms up because they're they're huge. And then the 11th house where this eclipse for her, this where the eclipse is happening. Um the moon there is at 8 degrees so it's pretty far off from a lot of this um eclipse energy but the 11th house is about our dreams our aspirations it's about you know what do I get out of life and so the eclipse is probably going to do a lot of revealing in that realm for her. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Pretty cool. We have the chart on hand. >> I love that. And that's what happens when you're part of our community. Things like >> amazing. Wow. Okay. Well, I am already like you've left us like breadcrumbs for the next one. Already ready, but also a little nervous. a little nervous. I've got my journal out, my grounding mat, got a comfy blanket, some snacks, >> keep this [clears throat] keep keep the sage nearby, whatever you got to do. >> Yeah, it sounds like it. We're all going to have to be slower to react. Uh, and >> for sure, >> compassion, um, and there it is built in into at least the academy platform. So, >> yeah. Yeah, I mean the key here is just take take care of yourself. Take care of yourself. You know, that's the first thing. Put the oxygen mask on yourself first >> when you get on, you know, when there's a problem on the plane. Like, don't worry about everybody else right now. Don't worry about what's going on in the world right now. Take care of yourself. >> Yeah. All right. Well, that's all we got for tonight.
