In Like Zion, Out Like Shazzam!

THIS IS A MAGICAL MONTH INDEED. Huge archetypal forces are in movement. Quakes and tsunamis will be manifest on the outside and on the inside. Give up anchoring to some security. You'll only be flattened and flooded by more drama than you'd care to entertain.

Venus is retrograde all of August. Going inside of your self will be oh so tempting. Give up taking refuge in such transcendent ways. Tis a shell game at best. Be with what is as it is and go ahead and make decisions on the fly. You are fine. You don't need higher guidance or power or all such projections. Fly by the seat of your being and enjoy the ride. Also, give up over greeding and over giving. You are fine; they are fine. Share as you choose, but be aware of those ancient projections and beliefs. You are not a bad who needs to be/do good!

Everything is burning. Throw all your karma on the infernal inferno. Whaddaya need that baggage for! It's not you! Katie unbarnacle the doors. Your intentions for manifestation can be amazing and wonderful this month. Proceed with joy.

Be aware of the Ides of August: 15-17. Sun, Mercury and Venus do a lovely doe-si-doe with each other. You can see that all love is a projection system and that what you've always been looking for is your being in the Dream. You kiss a few mirrors and after some cold, hard experiences, you can realize the Game of seeking and soughting. BeSoughted feels good for a while and then it feels stalk raving mad. Shed and get off the plots. Be and I mean be with the ones you love or forever hold your pieces.

Mercury enters Virgo on the 8/19 at 6:01 am PDT. This will kick in an intense Mutable Grand Cross that will last three weeks into September. It consists of Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Sagittarius, Uranus in Pisces and Mercury/Sun/Saturn in Virgo. This is splendid for manifestation, but if you haven't been intending for your manifestation, you get the intentions of your karma. I highly recommend a claiming/clearing session with me if you are karmically tired and would like to manifest what you'd like to manifest. You don't have to settle for enough or go chasing after debt loads of pie in the sky. Have your cake and eat it too with icing on top. Remember: all that you ever enjoy in the Dream is your self. If you claim your own being as who you are, that's permanent. Then you can play with the flotsam and jetsam of your karma.

There's a New Moon on 8/13 in Leo at 4:02 pm PDT; it is the time of the Perseid Meteor shower. A moonless night plus meteors equals a fine time to wish upon your stars. Alien ships will be landing any day now and maybe you'll share the light show with other dimensional folks. We've gone Galactic so anything is possible from here on.

The Sun enters Virgo on 8/23 at 5:08 am PDT. This is the Sphinx Point of Silence and the Absolute. Venus backed through this point some weeks ago; Mercury, which rules Virgo, went through this auspicious degree days ago and on 9/3 Saturn will enter the magical portal. Worry is ramping up but it is only your awareness that makes it so.

Creation is an endless worry machine in search of Peace. You'll never find a Peace that will work absolutely in the Dream. You are peace. Give up the search and claim your own consciousness and clear your own karma. Virgo is the deep reminder that what you think you've got has you. It reminds us that the effort to hold or attain Peace is the very noise that maintains the search on the Wheel. Realize your own being and let the Game fingernail the chalky boredom all it wants. The Noise that is arising is inherent and all the meditation in the Universe will not squelch the belch. Peace in the Dream is the actual noise reacted against. You don't need to do do do anything to enjoy the peace of your being that never comes and goes.

Peace be what you are,
Mark
