Summary for the week of August 14-20, 2023

We have one precious week to look up from Earth to heaven and contemplate the beauty on which we make our home.

With the new moon phaseyou will be able to enjoy the darkness of the sky to contemplate some lost shooting stars, planets and other celestial bodies that will shine with intensity thanks to the absence of lunar illumination.

1. New Moon

He Wednesday 16 around 11.39 The lunar cycle begins with the intermoon or new moon phase, a new Moon that will be located in Leo.

The new Moon occurs when the Moon is located just between the Earth and the Sun, so that Sun and Moon are in conjunction.

The energy of this Moon opens the door to contemplate life from the passion and to see how moments of uncertainty can be lived from a place free of fear that allows us to be amazed and enjoy being alive with that amazement.

As with every new moon, a cycle begins that will end with the full Moon in Leo on January 25, 2024.

you have a few months to reflect on whether or not you allow yourself to live from passion and if it is from that place from which we express ourselves in the world and manifest our true being. Whatever the answer, you can dig much deeper to see what may be preventing passion in your life as a wholefamily, work, bonds and all kinds of vital experiences.

This same day the Moon will be at the furthest point from Earthwhich is called astronomically apogee. It will be about 406,634 km away from our planet.

2. Starfall

The Thursday night, August 17or we will have the chance to contemplate shooting stars in the sky again, in this case a light rain of very low intensity (3 stars per hour), if we compare it with those still visible in the Perseids sky, which were 100 stars per hour. hour.

This time it is about the Kappa Cygnids, whose speed will be much lower (25km/h) than the fast Perseids.

It will be a fantastic moment to connect with our desires and formulate our wishes to the “gods”.

3. Lunar conjunctions

On Friday the 18th night you can see Mercury shine very close to the thin crescent Moonagain a fabulous opportunity to see the fastest of the planets in the night sky.

AND Saturday August 19 will be red Mars whichever is closest to the Moon. Two conjunctions between a planet and the Moon that allow us to locate the celestial elements with great ease.

As the wise principle of hermeticism says, “As above so below, as outside so inside.” Contemplate what surrounds you with as much love as the love with which you have to contemplate yourself, because the way we see the world gives us the clue of how we really see ourselves. Cultivating one we are cultivating the other, you can start wherever you prefer, although everything will lead you to manifest from within all the beauty and love of your true being.

4. How the phases of the Moon influence this week

This week the energy is marked by the new Moon and the beginning of a new lunar cycle, as well as by the descending orbit of the Moon. This means that the care that will give the best results throughout the week is the following:

In the garden:

All week long we can continue transplanting and doing work on the top of our plants, since the Moon continues descending in its orbit. Being in decline, the energy in the form of plant sap is in the lower part, the roots, so the transplant will be more effective. So, if you decide to take a plant that you buy or that you have in a pot to its final place and you want to take it to another larger place, or directly to the soil of your orchard or garden, the plant will take root earlier in the new place than you locate it

you can also do pruning in fruit trees such as medlars or cherry trees, which have already stopped producing, although the time that is usually marked as ideal is the end of September and the beginning of October, when autumn begins; If you do it with a descending moon and the day it bears fruit, you will also favor the future formation of fruits and the sanitation of your plants.
