Review of Steven Forrest's "The Book Of Neptune"

"If you feel as if you've lost your footing, are sinking in quicksand or adrift on a large body of water with no land in sight, there's a good chance that Neptune is involved.
  If that's the case, I can't recommend this book highly enough." --Whobeda
LUNATION SUMMARY
FULL MOON/LUNAR ECLIPSE
(Signifies an ending, culmination or shift to a new phase)
NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE
(Brings something new into your life)
Date: Date: 7 August 2017 Date: 21 August 2017
Position: 15:25 Aquarius (Strongest effect if your birthday is ~September 8) Position: 28:53 Leo (Strongest influence for those born ~August 22)
Natural House: 6th Natural House: 12th
Influences of the 6th house include your work, job, health, service, employees and pets.  This lunation could bring an existing project or condition to an end or perhaps take it to the next level.  A change of direction at its completion is possible as well.  Pay attention to your health and fitness level with this a favorable time to make any necessary changes. It could also be a time to consider changing jobs or applying for that promotion. 12th House influences include spirituality, enlightenment, seclusion, confinement, subconscious mind, institutions, hidden enemies, and self-defeating behaviors.  Watch for something new in one or more of these areas.  This is an excellent time to meditate or pursue something to feed your soul.  If you've been too materialistic lately, this can help you re-center yourself and rearrange your priorities.

FULL MOON

This month's a busy one astrologically with a lunar eclipse, solar eclipse, and three stationing planets, including another period of the dreaded Mercury retrograde. Remember that eclipses are more powerful than the usual lunation. The positions of the planets astrologically usually concentrates on their longitude, meaning the degree of the zodiac where they reside. For eclipses, another position comes into play known as declination, meaning how many degrees it is from the equator, either in a northern or southern direction. One way to make this easier to understand is to consider how high the Sun is in the summer versus the winter. When two planets (including the Sun and Moon) are lined up in both directions, then you have what most of us intuitively consider a conjunction, even though the astrological definition only addresses the zodiacal degree. For example, if you've ever gone outside at night when two planets, such as Mercury and Venus, are reported as being conjunct, you may be disappointed when you see they are not lined up as expected, unless their zodiacal degree AND declination are the same. Since both positions have a bearing on the energy conveyed as well as how effectively it blends, when you have them both in alignment, you get more energy, especially with the luminaries. For an eclipse, they are also lined up with the lunar nodes, or the places where the Moon crosses the equator, another energy point with important astrological significance. So now that you've had your astrology lesson for the day, let's see what the Lunar Eclipse on 7 August might deliver.

Lunar eclipses typically contain more emotional punch while the solar version tends to trigger events. The house placement above will still apply, so see what it has to say about the area likely to be affected. Mars is close enough to the Leo Sun to pump up its fiery energy a notch or two. This energy is going to facilitate the feelings and emotions your experience, which is going to come from the house where the Sun is, which will be the one noted above for the NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE and then impact the one shown above for the FULL MOON/LUNAR ECLIPSE. These are opposing houses, which on their best behavior complement each other and at their worst, clash and demand balance. Once you have that figured out, then factor in that some adjustments are going to need to be made that relate to the past as well as clarifying any areas where there has been confusion or misunderstandings. A dignified and exalted Mercury in Virgo can help bring the needed information, which may come through a third party who can remain neutral and mediate. You're not going to like everything that comes out of this since the truth often hurts, but finding resolution can free you up to let it go and thus quit diverting energy to it, albeit at the subconscious level. If you've had trouble sleeping or concentrating, this could be why. Do your best to be philosophical about it, do what needs to be done, and move on.

NEW MOON

This solar eclipse is getting a lot of publicity in the USA since its path crosses the country, from Oregon to South Carolina, making its path of visibility long enough for millions to observe this magnificent celestial event. For starters, both on a mundane and astrological side, Mercury is going to be retrograde at this time which suggests there will be a propensity for things not to go as planned or expected, especially with regard to travel. Complicating things further is the fact he's opposing Neptune, which will lend additional confusion. Traffic issues are already expected, and you can bet that they are going to be significant. This situation is without precedent; the last time an eclipse path crossed the USA was in 1918, long before travel was as easy as it is today. The scope of the problem is definitely difficult to predict and for a one time event, planning that involves any expense is likely to be at a minimum. If you have made reservations somewhere, make sure they're still in place, and plan ahead as far as possible with regard to travel, allowing plenty of time to get where you hope to go. The links in the "Eclipse Information" above can provide some helpful information and tips. If you plan to view it, make sure you have the proper eye protection, also covered in the links above.

The eclipse trines Uranus, which has recently stationed retrograde. This adds another factor toward surprises, disruptions, disturbances, and unexpected events. For those seeing a total eclipse for the first time, surprises are certainly to be expected, but the astrological side suggests that these will last longer than the few minutes at most of eclipse totality. The effects of an eclipse sometimes even occur before the event and can linger for quite some time following it. There's a sextile pattern formed between a trine from Mars to Saturn, then sextile from those two to Jupiter. This is an easy exchange of energy, but not necessarily favorable given the involvement of two malefics, i.e. Mars and Saturn, both in Fire signs. This has the potential for aggression expressed by those in authority which could be inflated or exaggerated. On the positive side, taking action toward getting organized shows promise. Venus is in Cancer, where she can be somewhat sentimental or overly emotional, which could complicate any unexpected situations. Rather than using this as an excuse to get upset, take it as a challenge to keep things under control.

OTHER COSMIC EVENTS

Uranus stations retrograde 3 August with relatively few aspects other than the ongoing square between Jupiter and Pluto, which implies ongoing power struggles of all varieties, a conjunct between the Moon and Saturn, which throws a touch of guilt or possibly the opposite, i.e. self-righteousness, in the mix, and a propensity for arguments, which are going to include more confusion and misunderstandings. Decisions at this time are likely to be based on misinformation, so bear that in mind. When Mercury stations retrograde ten days later, you may have to do some serious rethinking or redoing.

While the chart for Uranus' station was relatively quiet, Mercury's station chart for 13 August is loaded. The confusion is definitely still there along with various other issues such as confronting old debts, whether monetary or karmic. Friction between the guys and gals is high, plus the propensity to do something, even if it's wrong, perhaps in an effort to fix something that has come up. There's a Grand Fire Trine which looks like it could relate to someone taking charge, which could well be a good thing. Seeing everything clearly in the light of day is favored, which could be the very thing that gets things stirred up. As always, remember to avoid buying anything electronic or mechanical during this time until at least the second week of September.

Saturn stations direct 25 August, which is generally good news. While retrograde, Saturn tends to slow things down, throw various obstacles and boundaries your way, and cause anything related to corporations or governments to move even more slowly than usual. Thus, going direct may help anything in that area get "unstuck". Best case, Mercury RX will help you go back, rethink, redo, or re-whatever to take care of any snafus to clear the way. Unexpected events related to love or money are possible, possibly due to past messes that weren't properly cleaned up or done correctly initially. When Saturn stations direct, often you'll realize that something that needs to be rebuilt or restructured, so be on the lookout for anything that meets that description.
