THE METAVERSAL ECLIPSE WEEK FORECAST
YETZIRAH The World of Air
-AIRWEEK-
JULY 18 to JULY 24
It’s Airweek In where we utilize the powers of active Air, in the kabbalistic World of Yetzirah. This week represents the formative period of the elemental Lunar cycle. Go forth into the World and actively create the vision obtained during last week in the Waters of Briah. The Full Moon is in Capricorn. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. Saturn currently is conjunct Mars in Virgo. In Virgo, Mars and Saturn can be on a vigilant lookout for any errors. But for what intention? This combination can either find ways to work together constructively-- or it can demand service in a way that requires superhuman dedication that veers into martyrdom. Are you looking to correct or to extract punishment? This can be your ego's way of self-protection as you turn little errors into reasons to chew someone out or feel superior to their grievous error. Are you chewing for nutrition or out of anxiety bee-atch? Criticism can be constructive if the intention is to improve ourselves and others. But HOW you criticize can make a big difference. When we point the blame at others in a way that shows exasperation, our egos can feel important. Yet, what we are really trying to see is our own shadow side or blindspot. If we cannot observe, consider, analyze, study ourselves, we look for our imperfections in others. We can also use up our energy (Mars) with the constant output of energy it takes to keep our faults hidden and repressed (Saturn). But why do we react in a negative way to errors? With Mars conjunct Saturn with Moon in Capricorn, we may feel the need to use or challenge authority. And with ruler Saturn in Virgo, we do it through the details. If things don't seem to be improving, when is the last time you felt and expressed gratitude for what IS? Even if things are not the way you want and there's more to do. By simply noticing and accepting what is -- without judgment, just observing, you can start to shift the energy.
If you are focused only on achievement and only see what's wrong or missing, you will never feel satisfied. Ambition without gratitude only feeds ambition, and you can't "get no satisfaction." Without gratitude, you will always need more. Regardless of whether or not you can assimilate more. Noticing what is not perfect or good-enough can improve your skills, but only focusing on imperfections can make you feel frustrated and physically tense. You can improve your mood and relax your physical body by being grateful. Your gratitude inspires others to do their best. It makes people want to improve. Find something to compliment. When you're focused only on faults, you can't generate good ideas. Your creative energy is being used to suppress the flow instead of being open to creative solutions. This Full Moon is about how much we consume, physically and mentally, and how much of what we consume we can assimilate. How do we absorb what we consume into usable nutrition? If you hold back and don't take what you need for sustenance, the act of holding back can delay your progress and throw off your timing. This is like missing the beat in music. Sometimes, you want to come in after the beat, but unless that's your intention, missing the beat can throw off your timing. And that can take away from what could be an opportunity to practice and develop skills that can improve whatever work you do.
There are 2 Eclipses in August; Solar on August 1, Lunar on August 16. The path of the visible Solar Eclipse goes right through China during the Olympics. Astrologically, the Sun and Moon lines go directly through the Ascendant in Washington DC during the Solar Eclipse.

THURSDAY, JULY 17The waxing Capricorn Moon, almost Full, makes a blissful conjunction to Jupiter at 6:01 a.m., starting off this Day of Jupiter in Water Week. The morning is filled with harmony and joy. Open yourself to it totally. Happiness is our natural condition. We can best tune into the forces of the Moon in Capricorn by reviewing our good qualities and the good things in our lives, and by expressing gratitude for them. They are the fruits of our light, and that light is meant to shine. Perhaps this is the final paradox, that we can best fulfill our outer social responsibilities by focusing on the light within. The symbol for Capricorn is the mountain goat, with the penis of a fish, another paradox. Did I say penis? How embarrassing...I meant to say PINAX. I got my lady this nice pinax at the mall. This shows that the depths of the unconscious are the foundations which Capricorn uses to build its structure, to climb its own particular mountain, to meet its unique challenge. Solemnly we placed the pinax behind our panantes and lit some incense. Then we went at it like rabbits with her new penis. Well, not that much like rabbits. In fact it wasn't remotely rabbit-like, except that afterwards we both smoked a carrot. Capricorn must be rooted in the true depths of motivation in order to build firmly and enduringly. At 5:56 p.m. the Goat Moon sextiles Uranus and....Honest Iago, please tell me. Do these boots go with this outfit?? Rest assured: the voluptuous terror you feel swiftly gives way to splendour.
FRIDAY, JULY 18A Full Moon lights up the night, exactly opposing Sun at 12:59 am on the West coast. To some this is known as the Buck Moon, because July is normally the month when the velvety new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads. It's also called the Thunder Moon (thunderstorms are most frequent during this time) and Full Hay Moon. While quite beautiful, it seems less bright than the Harvest Moon of October. It dominates a fairly benign chart. The Sun-Moon opposition is accompanied by an opposition of Mercury and Jupiter, but all other aspects are easy trines and sextiles, not very closely aligned. One would guess from this that, whatever the projects we undertook with the New Moon, they are moving along nicely and we are reasonably well pleased with the results. The challenges we faced then should be smoothing out. The Sabian symbol for Moon at 27° Capricorn: Pilgrims climbing the steep steps leading to a mountain shrine; the ascent of the individualized consciousness to the highest realizations reached by the spiritual leaders of its culture. "We hear a great deal now about 'peak experiences'," says Rudhyar, " but this symbol tells us that they depend to a very great extent upon following a path which many have trod before."
SATURDAY, JULY 19For those who work the swing or graveyard shift, restlessness and the need for independence will conflict with the need to get along easily with others. It's a good day to work on our independent projects, but we'll want to communicate our ideas. This is especially true this afternoon when Mercury opposes Jupiter (12:53 pm)—we'll have an overabundance of great ideas and talkativeness. It's a good time to pull out the notebook and write down the great thoughts so we can look them over later and consider how feasible they are. Phone calls could last a lot longer than expected and we could say more than we meant to. It's a great evening for a group gathering.
SUNDAY, JULY 20Between dark and light the angles of times are best manifest at their balance, so invoke Apollo, Ra, or the baby-faced Sun god from the Teletubbies into your heart Chakra today. Sunday is always a good day integrate all the planets in our personal Lightcraft. In the World of Yetzirah, Air, the Lightcraft is analogous to the active aspect of the psychological body, or for simplicities sake, let's call it Psyche. In the physical body (in Assiah) there are infinite subdivisions down to the frontier of the physical world, where the particles of matter and impulses of energy are interchangeable. In the same way, the Psyche interpenetrates the body so that the upper part of the physical world percolates and influences the lower part of the psyche, and vice versa. In the macrodimensions of the Metaverse, a crisis can generate a direct contact with the Sun in Yetzirah (Psyche) but after the crisis, the connection fades, and the watcher in oneself fades back into the subconscious. The Lightpilot seeks to consciously make permanent connection with the Sun in Yetzirah. This is done by constant observation of actions, emotions and intellect, to perceive impartially the way those functions operate, and to correct and perfect their performance so as to become a true seething. To be the big picture, complete in all its parts. Solutions to problems often come to us in dreams, and this morning is ripe for that. We might dream up a fabulous new approach to something we've been thinking about, or our dreams might show us something about ourselves that we've overlooked or ignored. At any rate, it's a good idea to leave the dream notebook by the bedside for easy access this morning. It's an uncomplicated day astrologically, until Moon sextiles Pluto at 4:25 pm bringing festering emotions to the surface so they can be released. A short Void of Course period follows until Moon enters Pisces at 6:07 pm.
MONDAY, JULY 21Projecting Light Specific purple or octarine (a particular shade of electric pinkish purple) into your forehead and facing West, activate the Ajna Holographic Image Projection System (third eye), then invoke blessed Gabriel. Diana, or Sailor Moon into your Brow Chakra. It's the Moon's day in the week of active Air and the body in motion. The lunar orb being receptive and reflective, focuses the qualities of the signs and other planets to our personal Lightcraft. The Lunar center, and its intimate connection with the Holographic Image Projection System, is not only the foundation for the astral plane, but is the fiery aspect of astral energy itself. Back to work! Blue Monday. The work week starts with an opposition between Moon and Saturn (6:24 am) giving us a pessimistic or depressed outlook and approach—unless we're aware, that is. This is the day we need to start out by reciting all the things in our lives that we're grateful for, no matter how banal and annoying the exercise may seem at the moment. I remember what one teacher said: we always have the choice to be the effect or to be the cause. We can choose to dialogue with the judgments, doubts, fears that affect us this morning and instead of succumbing, we can encourage the gloomy old Saturn within us, reminding him that our power lies in the attitude we take to things. Later, at 5 pm, Moon opposes Mars. If we have managed to keep our spirits up so far, we'll be in good form to avoid the aggressive, impulsive and irritable manifestations of this period and use Mars' energy to get a few things done. Late tonight (11:34 pm), for those who are awake, there's a little blessing to wrap up this day. Moon sextiles Jupiter and even if we're sleeping maybe this will soften our dreams.
TUESDAY, JULY 22The Moon in Pisces makes harmonious aspects all day but the big event of the day is Solar and it happens just before sunrise. The Sun enters his home sign of Leo at 3:55 this morning. The Lion roars for the delight of amusing itself, which is really the key to enjoying this sign. Being playful for your own pleasure connects you to your inner child and its open-hearted innocence. Impressing others and needing their approval is a distraction from this valuable lesson. Making yourself happy is a real contribution to the community, even if it could appear self-indulgent. Leo's narcissistic and bullying side is absent when real joy is present. The Sun in Leo typically sends out solar flares. Solar flares send radiation to Earth in about 8 minutes. Hours later, clouds of charged particles can engulf the planet. If the magnetic field of a storm is oriented opposite to our planet's protective magnetic field, gaps are created and radiation leaks to the planet's surface, potentially threatening astronauts aboard the International Space Station, sometimes shorting out satellites, and even causing the slipping of my tongue around your earlobe, in sweet soft little circles in between slow hot breaths... increasing in rate as I press against your body...
WEDNESDAY, JULY 23The Day of Mercury in the kabbalistic World of Air and Activity, Yetzirah. Mercury's function in Yetzirah is to actively communicate. To think. To know. To reason. Mercury teaches (by demonstration), the animation of Eidolons, the magick indwelling of icons by Spirit. Moon in Aries is like having a-dose of fresh beginning. Aries energy is instinctive and fresh. It's pioneering and bold. Are you ready to launch a new venture? This Moon gives you the courage and faith in yourself to get cracking. If you are ready to make some kind of change in your life, give yourself some time today to really reflect on what makes your heart sing. Imagine what that feels like to achieve your goal. Then make an action plan, and give yourself a little task each day that moves you closer to realizing that dream. The Metaverse hears your request and wants to give you what you ask for, so the more clearly you can imagine your goal and successfully having it, the more easily the bountiful Metaverse can comply with you. As the Moon in Aries forms a quincunx to Saturn midday, we might experience a obstacle or slow down so take a deep breath and don’t hesitate. Meditate! Afternoon we are back up and going full speed ahead.
THURSDAY, JULY 24Moon in Aries today means we are likely to be spontaneous and excitable. We may be prone to irritation at times. The Moon in Aries relates us with adventures, independence so as an exercise today, cut the beards off three Customs Officers (for those living in the interior, Customer Service Representatives will do) and place their whiskers in the glove compartment of a stalled and abandoned car. If they don't fit, keep trying. Another way of distracting your Gaian Mind is to push zucchini through the mail slots of new neighbors while dressed as a bumblebee and singing the lyrics to 'What's New Pussycat'. Fringe benefit of this experimental behaviour: you'll be the secret envy of anyone who ever professed to know what you were going to do next.
