August 21 – 29 Daily Astrology

August 21, 2019 by cbillum

August 21, 2019 through Balsmic  moon on the 28th and 29th  

I am tempted to call this time Mad hatter teaparty time…   There seems not one person in my circle or client list who is not a bit topsey turvey and not sure what is happening right now.  I got caught online into some conspiracy theory stuff and waded right in like I was sane, lol.   It seems the energy know kind of sucks us in if we are not grounded and centered enough..

Part of this is due to the LEO energy waning and VIRGO coming in.  MARS the planet of action went to Virgo a few days ago and our desire is to be a bit more grounded, practical and centered while the world seems spinning in directions we did not choose.

Jobs, relationships, money, war and peace seem a bit strained but you might want to know that once a year  Mercury and Uranus, the 2 planets that want to help you change your mind are in competition and creating some of the muddle.  AKA right NOW:

JUPITER the planet of MORE and the planet about our BELIEF system went direct last week in the fiery sign of Sagittarius and I am reminded of a childhood story about me. 

 I once told my parents I was going to save my $$$ (I was 6 or 7) and they were so pleased.  WE had just left a store where I had seen a live monkey for sale.  So as they told me that was so good I was going to save.  I added  TO BUY A MONKEY:   lol, well about ½ of my clients the last 2 weeks are on that buy a monkey wagon..

WHICH you might note is going to be shifting perhaps today …

Wednesday August 21, 2019

At 2am today the planet Venus, what we desires moves out of LEO into VIRGO and monkeys may not be at the top of your list again for a while.  Where do I move to, when do I retire, should I fix the house up or sell, do I want to stay in this area?   These are all $30 questions I have helped the most grounded folks with this week.

              Today struggles with allowing you to believe as Mercury and Jupiter come together to help each other BELIEVE:  with Uranus who really recognizes that if you want something you have not had before you have to do something you have not done before.

              AND??  Are you aware.. Neptune (Intuition)  Uranus(Change)  Saturn (structure)  Chiron(Healing) and the south node (our past) are all RETROGRADE (or attempting to go backwards)   what does this mean?  Kind of look at each planet and recognize that the universe wants you to go back somehow and pick up the necessary information to make the shifts each planet desires.   WOWSERS, yep… interesting times….

              NOT a bad day and/but/and a day when sometimes you have to stop and look at your plans and recognize that spirit perhaps wants you to go a different way than your plan?  AND Nature, outdoors, animals and getting away from mechanics of life is VERY MUCH NEEDED for us all  RIGHT NOW:

              Color today GREEN for growth and heart energy

              Use citrine for joy

              YOUNG Living essential thieves oil to clearthe air

              KISS  (keep it simple sweetie) for today.   I am doing greatall things considered and laugh
***********************************************************************
**************************************************************

YEP, I rolled right into writing without my usual mantra, so here it goes… 

                  Kiss is keep it simple sweetie for the day

V/c is when the moon times out and things do not go as expected

Planets are actors and have a part to play

Signs are the costumes the planets wear

Aspects are how the planets are playing together

Moon is emotions so we keep track of what sign it is in each
day to better understand our own and others moods

I write this not in order to keep you from experiencing life and getting out there, but rather to help you plan a bit…or lol, so often after the fact understand a bit what was going on.

              I am doing clients,  $155 for almost 2 hours, numerology, astrology, tarot, questions, location and all kinds of great stuff   carolbarbeau544@gmail.com if you wish to reach me.

              WANT to know a bit more of what I do? Please visit my website and under services see what you can get from a reading and know that I am ready to help you in any way that I can.  I have always liked people, and understand that many of us just do not have the personal support system we need now.

Everyone depending on YOU?    And who do you come to ?   Hopefully you have friends or family and can learn to ask  for your time, your space and help, and if not, I am here along with many others,  Just let me know where you are and maybe I can hook you up with someone good locally?
Now onwards and upwards  Namaste Carol

Thursday August 22, 2019

With the moon in Taurus having a bit of conflict with mercury and venus today could be a day when others just do not understand what you are trying to convey.

              Be aware that intuition is strong and others may be hearing more than you are saying, or even kind of putting their spin on what you are saying?  Good for psychics today, and others, maybe a good day to listen, watch and avoid contracts or arguments?

              THE MOON MOVES V/C at 2:32pm today until 7:34am tomorrow  (PDT) with an aspect about confusion, so tonight and tomorrow before ??  well, lets write tomorrow off also for conflict resolutions, lots of squares and challenges on Friday, plan on an escape or a class or workshop or something this weekend to expand your life and circle.

MOON v/c is when the moon times out as it leaves one sign and gets ready to enter another, moon v/c times are times when usually new projects and plans do not go as we planned or thought they would.  BEST not to have surgery, do contracts or do anythng MAJOR if possible, and if not, stay loose and have a good time, let go of outcome and enjoy the process *********ARIES THROUGH VIRGO are the  first 6 signs of the zodiac and as such are  inwards energy and Are about working for the self in order to move out And work for others.   then we enter Libra which is much about others:  The moon in Libra is an air sign, desiring of balance, harmony and justice, it is also CARDINAL air and oftentimes folks are more willing to compromise

              –     Kiss:  Sometimes Chaos is the power which  will help us move our  Fannies But often it is LAUGHTER which works best (SMILE OFTEN the next 2 weeks and repeat.    (FOR RIGHT NOW this and that and the other)  NOTHING lasts forever

–     Color today orange for creativity but I am hearing for me black for protection?  SO will share with you also…

–     Use sun stone or citrine to get into your own center of self SUCH a JOYFUL energy stone

–     Oil of Release to let go of all that hinders your inner understanding of self

I know I have used this one before but it is so true And bears repeating  Change is not a force to be feared, but  an opportunity to be seized. — Sam Weiss

Friday August 23rd we enter Last Quarter Moon (90 – 45 degrees behind the sun)  Like the first quarter, this phase is about movement. This time you can engage in conscious action. The choice is in your hands and you know it. It’s up to you to create the outcome. This is dynamic, conscious movement. You decide whether to take action — or not.

***********************************************************

Friday August 23, 2019

The moon is v/c until 7;34am pdt but the day gets started big time as at 3am PDT the Sun leaves Leo behind for another year and today enters Virgo:

VIRGO approximately runs  (8/23 – 9/22)                                                   •Animal Guide: bear

•Clan: turtle                           •Plant: violet                                                   •Power Direction: South

•Stone: sapphire •Color: grey/navy blue    •Motto: “I Analyze


The tendency when planets begin to enter this sign is for me to get lots of $30 questions, everyone is truly into the Analyze stage and plans begin to be important to people.

              A square or challenge from the moon to the sun at 7;56am right after the moon enters GEMINI is what we call the Last quarter moon stage…  LOTS of options and time to make some decisions.

              1:17pm that Gemini Moon challenges Venus wearing the sign of Virgo, so options, options, options..   The basic framework seems to be forming for many of us today with some obvious challenges as to how we create our desires.

              2:19 pm  (PDT)  that gemini moon challenges Mars and ..  well, lots of you may feel stuck today but this is one of those days when wheels are spinning but you ARE ALMOST OUT of the stuck stage.

Moon in Gemini Time is always a time when we see and desire more options and none of them are quite perfect, yet they all seem to have something good about them.  NOT the weekend for major decisions I think?  Or maybe even the week?

              THINK POSITIVE IS OUR aspect and recognize we are on the way to solutions and new answers

              Today, I BET YOU saw clearly what needs to be changed, I cannot guarantee that you will change it, but we are 9/10th of the way there when we know what needs to be done aren’t we?

PAINT your life with a LARGE brush today and see how pretty your life colors can be.  What is your favorite color?  Use that today please…  TODAY feels like an ORANGE day to me for creativity and passion or RED:  GET excited about what is coming please…..and

•            Oil of cinnamon, pine or lemon to cheer you

•            I will say for many of us a stone today which feels upbeat?  I like the energy of some of the lighter feeling stones like, Kyanite, citrine, Green Onyx, Rutilated golden Quartz, anything that feels lively and active works well today  and how about we  Plan for tomorrow but live for today

Don’t cry because it is over NOW, rather laugh because it happened

Saturday August 24, 2019   MOON IN GEMINI DAY

Today is a bit of a repeat performance of yesterday with loads of intuition tossed in as well as those challenges as to how to make it happen.

              This is the kind of day when you see and know what you want and have not quite figured out yet how to get it.  GET out, enjoy nature if you can and recognize the roadblocks today as the universe asking you to HIT THAT PAUSE BUTTON.  

Astrology as Venus touches Mara 10;04am PDT we want it now?

10:53am pdt Moon in Gemini opposing Jupiter, we want soooooo  much don’t we?

              4:10pm  Moon in Gemini giving us options being challenged by Neptune which wants you to forget thinking, to meditate to pray, to get into that boat and float a while and see, feel and know the dreams will be coming to you.  BUT, that Gemini moon surely would rather have a plan

              Need I tell you the last few days have not been easy ones energetically?  At 11:58pm pdt we have a nice aspect with Mercury (ideas) and the moon moves V/C until 2:05pm pdt tomorrow. NOPE this is not the day nor tomorrow before 2pm PDT to buy a big purchases, make huge decisions or neuter the dog….

              THIS could be a GREAT MOON V/C time to just sit quietly and maybe doodle, color or just let your mind flow and see where it takes you,   IF it begins to float into rapids (NEGATIVE IDEAS)  turn to whatever makes you smile.  WE have a week ahead when many big decisions are coming up at work and in your personal life.

–     Color today Green for healing and HEART ENERGY

–     Use pine or fir or some outdoorsy oil to connect you to your path

      or better yet, get out at lunch and experience the real deal

–     Larimar the stone of intuition, clarity and vision, its lovely

      blue color calls us back to ourselves and encourages us to    connect with source….  and a pebble from the river can do this also if you utilize its energy and name it so

•            Oil of Ginger for endowing us with courage and physical energy

•            Kiss for today was BELIEVE and let it happen…remember this works both ways?  IF I believe bad that can happen also, so control the mind and then you begin to control your life

Our Animal Totem for the next week is the Crane ::

The Crane is considered a messenger of God, or a symbol of communion with God, or Light Beings. It represents as all birds do, us being willing to fly, and to stretch a bit to enter into higher states of consciousness.

 In China, it represents immortality, long life and happiness. In Ancient Greece and Rome, the Crane was sacred to Apollo and was a herald of spring (SPRING is about new beginnings and Hope and optimism in all cultures) . In Christianity, it represents goodness, loyalty, good order. 

So I shall look at this as a BIT of a message for me to stretch my neck out a bit and maybe read a new spiritual book, find a new teacher, or cd or just maybe spend more time in prayer or meditations:

WHAT ABOUT YOU?
*****************************************************
************************************************
I pulled the OSHO ZEN TAROT CARD HEALING

HEALING so believe that many of us need to bring, MIND, heart, soul together and begin to live in the way we wish to see others do..   responding in kind is not going to do any good if we want to change things.

This card is BLUE for clarity, and for me I feel when I get clear about who I am I do not get so pulled into acting like who I am not?

EXPECT great options to heal this next week …month…year…  lifetime xooxox

And we are in releasing time until the new moon on the 30th so what if you released it would allow you to heal more easily?   Ideas, memories, grief, regret, sadness, fear????

Sunday August 25, 2019

The moon is v/c in GEMINI until 2:05pm today when it will enter Cancer a watery energy seems to suit the sky much more than the last 2 days and we should have a good day if you are in alignment with what you DESIRE to do?

At worst I can say today you may be feeling others stuff a bit more than normal but that will be true the next 48 hours.  So…ask yourself  is this my circus?  ARE THESE MY MONKEYS?  Before involving yourself in the 3 ring circus around you.

Should be a good day for rest and maybe even a bit of careful planning:  Moon in Cancer is a time to be nice, to be kind, and to recognize others feelings are very strong.  Since the MOON is ruled by this sign (CANCER)   there is much good to be achieved by meditation, prayer and connecting with your soul today.

Turn off the mind a bit if possible and reconnect to who and what you REALLY are:

–     Color this day whatever the heck you desire, Yellow always cheers me up and Citrine shall be my stone of the day along with SMOKY QUARTZ for protection (I love those 2 together)

  oil of

–     Purification®: Apply Purification topically to soothe insect bites,
cuts, and scrapes. When diffused, this essential oil helps to
purify and cleanse the air from impurities, including cigarette
smoke and other unpleasant odors…I use this oil for new moon
and wishing ceremonies to clear away fear and negativity also

(ALSO Purification has helped me personally with an ingrown toenail

infection and several other small surface infections)**

Monday August 26   (SOMEONE I LOVE and respect mightly is having surgery today and I would ask that you just hold a moment of light and good intentions for everyone who is someplace they would rather not be today)***

Today that Moon in Cancer is not my favorite surgery choice, water sometimes is about a bit more swelling or bleeding but there are some really good aspects today…and since my friend having surgery is an astrologer..   THIS IS A GOOD DAY FOR SURGERY::::: 

Until 2:45pm we have some great assistance with change, transformation and a clear road to how to get desired outcomes.

2;45pm PDT as the moon in Cancer makes an opposition to Saturn the rules are set down and we must do what we must do..  appropriate for after surgery discussions isn’t it?

At 8:29 pm pdt we have a GREAT visualization, intention creating and TRY TO NOT DO the bank account evening.   Dreams, visions, meditation and intentions grow stronger so please believe, think, and recognize that we are all sensing and feeling a bit more.  SO BE POSITIVE PLEASE   >>>PLEASE>>>>

Kiss for today is KEEP IT SIMPLE SWEETIE, laugh often and ignore as much as you can of things which really are not important

–     Color today Yellow or Green, joy or healing or maybe both would be good?
–     My stone for today would be Moss Agate is a stone of new beginnings.   Refreshes the soul and enables you to see beauty in all you behold, It attracts abundance in wealth and improves self-esteem.  Develops strength and the ability to get along with others.  Inspires new ideals after periods of stagnation.  

Moss Agate promotes self-expression and communication.    Balances the emotions, releasing fear and stress.   Encourages trust and hope.    It eliminates depression caused by brain imbalances. (I have some angels on my jewelry site over 100 carats in this stone,(CONTACT cindy if you are interested 253 335 7921 to make sure if you want to order one)****    it is inexpensive and easily obtainable and something we should all be carrying in our auto.  I have an angel hanging in mine

–     Oil of : Lavender is relaxing and helps with  Sleep, and centering:  Many people are very allergic to lavender, I have candles which I burn in the house for ME only, but if you like this smell it really works on brain centers to calm us and soothe all your troubles away

Tuesday the 27th

WE prepare to roll into that magical time of the month, the dark of the moon, right before the new moon.  On farms all over the world, NOBODY Plants during this time, they plan, prepare and get ready to co create with nature AFTER the new moon

So for us all today?  What about if we begin to see, feel, imagine what we desire to create aftere this new moon on Friday at 3:30am PDT?

              Today the moon in Cancer moves v/c and this day has an energy which rests upon the last aspect made at 1:55am   which is MOON (emotions and our past)  Opposing PLUTO the dark lord of the underworld.   This is an aspect which is said to be about OUR  (STUFF) our old junk and how to transform it.

        THIS QUOTE IS FROM astrologyking.com (remember please that the moon opposes Pluto once a month so the day before and after can be intense but we are used to weathering this one)***    Moon Opposite Pluto Transit

Transiting Moon opposite Pluto causes inner turmoil and relationship drama. Your feelings can intensify to such an extreme level that you can no longer control your own reactions and behavior. You may experience dramatic mood swings, feeling strong and sexy one moment then nose dive into depression.

Some feelings you may experience at this time are hopelessness, fear, jealousy and obsessiveness. It is really important to share your powerful feelings with someone. If you don’t feel confident enough to talk to family or friends about your dark feelings then see a therapist or psychologist.

You are vulnerable to being emotionally manipulated and controlled. Dominating women, female relatives or pushy salespeople may use sinister tactics to destroy your self-esteem and boost theirs. By tugging on your emotions, making you feel guilty or fearful, they will try to take you money or something you are emotionally attached to.

People who you are emotionally attached to, like your partner and family members, may act out this transit if you try to ignore or suppress your own intense feelings. Being less in control of your own reactions, you too may resort to emotional manipulation to win some personal battle.

(BUT other authors/astrologers Like David Pond say ***Tuesday: You could wake up a little irritable with the Aries Moon in challenging aspect to Pluto, but the mood improves throughout the day leading to a potentially exciting and positive evening. Harmonious aspects with the Sun and Venus enhance the positive energy of the day.

 Wednesday: The Moon is in security minded Taurus joining unpredictable Uranus—a good day to be innovative and forward thinking in financial matters, rather than just holding your ground.  Venus moves into meticulous Virgo, enhancing the drive to be more discerning, and even a bit picky, concerning what is enjoyable and valuable in your life. Mercury is in harmony to Jupiter helps you keep a positive mental attitude.   (THESE 2 are from DAVID POND)***

So, todays v/c can be as dramatic as you wish or just a minor irritation, as in many things in life if you control your emotions rather than letting them control you, mountains can become bumps in the road.  The moon will be v/c until 4:35pm then it moves into LEO and we desire to be more open hearted and passionate about lifes challenges:

–     Kiss for today, stop and listen and reconnect to what YOU Desire with harm to none

–     Color today blue for clarity of your feelings and intuition not figuring it all out in your mind.

–     Garnets for Healing….this is also called the Stone of COMMITMENT, aiding you in Staying on your course to attain outcomes Which you desire


–     Oil of release to let go of resistances
**********************************************************
******************************************************
Wednesday the 28th Dark of the moon time

              You can see David Ponds remarks on yesterday above..  I call this a power day moving into a powerful and life changing New moon.  Make wishes, intentions and please visit my website for the whole article on how best to utilize these 2 days  BALSMIC Moon, each month..

              Dreams  have been particularly potent this last month due to lots of big events happening in the sky as we dream, today is for sure energizing as 3:29am PDT the moon challenges Uranus and we  are given opportunities in our dreams to see what is in the way of hearts desire.

              3:51am PDT  Mars the planet  of action works with Uranus and intensifies the energy above about 100%     if you want to know what a particular transit is, you can go to a site like Google and put in Mars Trine Uranus and it will pull up several sites which will #1 tell you what it means for those who live with it in their birth chart and then what the TRANSIT or visiting planet can mean for you.

By 5pm PDT a nice aspect to Jupiter MOVES US AGAIN INTO MOON V/C until 4:57am PDT when the moon will enter Virgo and many of the players will be in place for the new moon Friday.

                  •            I will say for many of us a stone today which feels upbeat?  I like the energy of some of the lighter feeling stones like, Kyanite, citrine, Green Onyx, Rutilated golden Quartz, anything that feels lively and active works well today  and how about we  Plan for tomorrow but live for today

–     Kiss for today: Joy  awakens and we reconnect to source if we are open to it

–     Color today BRIGHT GREEN for bright healing

–     Oil of Frankincense of course since this is one of the best oils to go  beyond the blood brain barrier and increase in the defense of the body  against infection.

****************************************************
MOON in VIRGO from Thursday the 29th 4:57am pdt until Saturday the 31st  4pm pdt…is a time of healing, a time to review, reflect, repair and reconnect with your body, with nature and to figure analyzing is a big part of this 2nd of the EARTH SIGN Moons… get away from the noisy crowd if possible and reflect upon what you need to do (CHIRON IN ARIES)  to repair body, mind and spirit

            TREES  flowers    Animals    Nature    GOOD books    AND maybe some star wars and reconnecting with the FORCE

 AND fyi, though I will be needing the shots into my eyes for the next 90 days, My eyes are lots better, seeing clients and doing lots of timing for folks.  2020 is a 4 FOUNDATION year and many of you are getting the message that the old ways are NOT going to be your NEW WAYS xooxox  Love and contact me please at  253 370 7197 to make an appointment but the BEST way is e mail carolbarbeau544@gmail.com

For free articles and astrology, please visit my website, http://www.carolbarbeau.com

And  the 28th, and 29th and 30th until the new moon is  Balsamic Moon (45 – 1 degree behind sun)  DARK OF THE MOON We have another word for this moon phase — Karma. This is the closing, the conclusion of the cycle during which you reap what you’ve sown. If you haven’t learned the lessons, taken the action called for in the first seven phases, you can’t move on. People born during this phase often have a mission, something bigger than themselves that they must carry out. This energy is greater than yourself. This time, the outcome of whatever’s going on is not yours to decide. You have already taken the steps that set up this outcome. It’s a time to release the past. (PINK 48 hours before new moon phase)  Magical wishing TIME :::

I honor you all, and hope that this rather interesting energy is giving you an opportunity to think in new ways and thus act and live in better health, happiness and opening you to new opportunities…   Through difficulties I do believe our soul grows the most rapidly, and like all of you I am ready for  a bit of a SLOW DOWN of growth, lol  and want to coast on the river of joy and peace for a while..  and like all of you,,,,I also have to MAKE THAT Happen  AND the next 2 days are a great time before Fridays new moon to do just that::   Love and joy and all good things to us all xooxoxo  carol
