Mercury in Leo Direct – It’s No Secret

Mercury ends its latest retrograde motion cycle and goes direct in Leo at 10:40p PDT on Tuesday, August 7^th, 2012.

While in retrograde motion, Mercury in Leo has given us the chance to introspectively look at ourselves and how we do or don’t shine out into the world.  We’ve had some time to think about whom we want to declare ourselves to be in the world and how we want to create and/or establish the details and circumstances of our lives so that they reflect and support our unique expressions of Light in the world.

These last few weeks have also presented us with an opportunity to retrospectively set the record straight and to retrospectively ask for what we need in order to get our unique expressions of Light out into the world for others to see.

Now, with Mercury going direct, now is the time to outwardly start letting others know exactly who we are, what we are up to, and what we are committed to creating in and for our lives now and moving forward.  We now get to ask for what we need in order to be supported in expressing our unique expressions of Light in this moment and for the future we are building for ourselves.

Leo can be rather dramatic in its expression, especially when Mercury in Leo goes direct while the Sun is also in Leo.  The light of the Sun exposes the Truth of just about everything, and Mercury is quick to share what the Sun exposes.  So when something comes to light, it can do so quickly and in big way under this double Leo influence.  What you say and share may either come out in dramatic fashion, or it may create a lot of drama around you for better or worse.  If ever there is a time when the Light of your unique expression could come off as a blinding glare rather than a warm glow, now through August 22^nd is the time.

It is very important for you to be aware of the potential impact of what you are saying or sharing may have on your environment or on others in your environment.  There is very little if anything hidden during Sun in Leo, so with both the Sun and Mercury Direct in Leo, it is very unlikely that any secrets shared in confidence will be kept.

This is not to say that no one can be trusted.  It is to say that what you think is private or secret communication during this time may not be as private or secret as you think it is or should be.  You may be surprised to find out that more people already know or are aware of what you have to say than you are aware of.  In fact, any communication surprises are more likely to be on you than on anyone else as Mercury goes direct in Leo.

However, the surprises may be to your advantage.  You may be surprised, for example, that someone you share with may have a contact they share your communication with who is able to get you what you need to move your plans and intentions along.  You may be surprised that you are sought after or acknowledged for your unique self-expression as result of your initial communication or expression of your True self to someone(s) else.

Once the Sun moves into Virgo on August 22^nd, the energy will shift from getting attention for how you are shining your unique expression of Light into the world, and will shift to how you are practically attending to your unique expression in the everyday living of your life.

Virgo is about attending to the details of day-to-day life – maintaining your health, your overall well-being, and the things that make your life work on any given day.  It’s still about you, but it’s more about you on practical terms rather than in idealistic or creative terms.  When Mercury in Leo combines with Sun in Virgo, it will become a matter of taking the ideas and expression you’ve created for yourself during Sun in Leo and establishing a plan for implementation or fulfillment of them, giving yourself something(s) you can do everyday to make sure your Light continues to shine and expand its reach out into the world.

But for the next two weeks, it’s still all about you and your Light.  There is no secret about what you have to offer the world now.  All there is for you to do is to choose to shine it brightly for all to see and to ask for the support you need to shine it.  You may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you have the opportunity to receive.  Be open and allow it all to come into your life.

Thanks for reading and sharing.  Until next post…

August 2011: The 3 Universal Month and the Sun in Leo and Virgo

As we close out the month of July 2011, let’s discuss this upcoming month of August 2011.

Numerologically speaking, August 2011 is a universal 3 month.

The universal month number of any month is determined by adding all of the digits of the date down into a single number, as demonstrated below.

August is represented by the number 8, since it is the 8^th month of the calendar year.

Add down the month (8) + each digit of the current year (2011):

8 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 1 = 12

Then, add down the sum:

1 + 2 = 3

 

I think of 3 as “the child’s energy”. 3 energy is playful and optimistic.  It doesn’t hold back its zest for life – it goes “all out” all of the time.

3 is an energy of growth and expansion, as children are growing into adulthood.

3 energy is also a curious and inquisitive energy.  People with 3 energy love to learn new things, and through learning they are growing in their understanding of the world around them and expanding in their knowledge and wisdom of life in general.  3s seek out information in abundance, and they love to be in communication with others for the purpose of gathering and exchanging knowledge.  Many people with 3 energy tend to be known as chatterboxes.  However, for as much as they can talk, do not underestimate their knack for listening and gathering information.  Just when you think they are missing a lot because they are talking so much, you may be surprised by how much they pick up and learn and eventually know.

Also, 3 energy tends to make things “larger than life”.  It likes to do thing in a big way, and sometimes makes things a bigger deal than they really have to be.  That said, it communicates with big and bold energy, sometimes to the point of exaggeration.  3s can talk a big game, yet look to their actions and results to see if it can really play the games it speaks of playing.

I bring this 3 energy into focus because I want to bring to our attention how this energy interacts with the current astrological energy, and how these combined energies show up in the world around us.

The Leo Sun energy combines with the 3 universal month energy until August 23^rd.  We are entering this Leo 3 phase on the heels of a New Moon in Leo which occurred yesterday, Saturday July 30^th at 11:40a PDT.

With the Sun and Venus in the sign of Leo right now, our hearts are invested in the energy of the moment, giving an emotional passion to the Leo expression of this moment.  What was occurring at the time of the New Moon is sure to grow and come to light even more than it already has in the last few hours and days.  And with the 3 energy folded into the mix, the spotlight of Leo is only going to burn brighter and bigger as we move into this month of August 2011.

During this time, it is important to make distinctions between what is being said because it really is a big deal and what is being said simply because it gets attention.  It’s much like a child testing out its vocabulary or knowledge by saying things to see what sort of response they might get.  The Leo 3 energy may have you noticing whether or not you or others are saying things because they are genuinely heartfelt and passionate sentiments or if you or another is saying it because you/they are seeking attention.

Even if a matter hasn’t been that a big deal for you before now, if you are emotionally invested in it, it will be a big deal for you during and/or after this Leo 3 period.  On the world, national, community, professional and personal levels, the drama of our lives will play out in a big way during this Leo 3 period.

That is, until the Sun enters Virgo on the 23^rd.  Then the energy shifts from the dramatic to the practical.  Reality sets in, and the desire for attention becomes attention to detail.  The question at hand will likely be, “Okay.  So you’ve said this is what you’re going to do.  Now how are you actually going to do it?”

Virgo wants details and wants to get things done.  It’s practical, everyday, hands-on energy.  Once it arrives, the time for big-talk theatre is over, and the time for walking your talk begins.  In combination with the 3 energy, Virgo seeks the factual actuality of matters.  It doesn’t just want to get things done, it wants the details of how it is going to be done. Virgo almost always wants to know the plans, and with 3 energy abounding, it is going want more information than usual in its need to attend to every detail.

The big hype of the Leo 3 energy will be faced with some harsh discernment as the Virgo Sun enters the scene.  People are going to want to know the details, and people are likely going to be very critical of the details as they emerge.  It may be that whatever is chosen during the Leo 3 period will have its reality exposed in the Virgo 3 period, and that reality will likely be revealed in a far-reaching manner.  We’ll see what comes in late August.

 

It has been my experience that numerological energy holds just as much weight as astrological energy.  In fact, I don’t believe that one can truly be accurate without the other.  Over the next few weeks, you’ll be noticing that there will be more information about how I use both astrology and numerology together as I start to reveal more about what the Life By Soul© system is all about and how it works.  I look forward to sharing it with you over the coming weeks and months.

In the meantime, enjoy observing the 3 energy that is about to come in and how it shows up in your life and in the world around you.

Until next post…
