A Synopsis of this month's Lunar Planner
Our New Moon of Aug 10, 2010 GMT (Aug 9 MST) occurs in sidereal Cancer. Cancer, commonly the crab today, is also the Egyptian Scarabaeus, an image that articulates the theme of humanity's emergence from darkness, dogma, and delusion and the reawakening back to light. The Scarab is an appropriate mythical figure, as no one knows the exact time of the emergence of the beetle from its snuggle in its own dung, because it does not seem to follow any natural cycle in nature. This theme also applies to our individual emergence from the family nest or from the collective consciousness that we co-create.
The New Moon stars setting the theme of this Lunar cycle are Acubens of Cancer; Zeta Hydra (the head of Hydra); Dubhe of Ursa Major (the primary star of the Great Bear); Naos of Argo Navis; and Merak of Ursa Major. Sidereal Cancer is about humanity's gestation and emergence process. The individual stars of Cancer articulate the nuances of this process. In particular, this area of sidereal Cancer is about the emergence from collective and personal dogmas (belief structures), as well as from our limiting or undermining life patterns that keep us bound in life scenarios that are less than those we truly want. This precedes action to break new trail in our lives so as to move in the direction we seek to go.
The Grand Jupiter-Pluto-Saturn T-square culminates in this lunar cycle. This principal planetary configuration began to form as Jupiter and Pluto created their square in the previous lunar cycle. Now in this lunar cycle, Saturn joins in to perfectly oppose Jupiter and square Pluto, creating this potent T-square. T-squares stimulate dynamic action; and this one marks a primary turning from what had been the last few years of stasis, stalemate and a feeling of suppression and limitation (dominated by massive Saturn), and now shifts in to a period of mobilization and expansion of radical change (due to the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction and the Jupiter-Pluto square). The Jupiter-Uranus synthesis also forms an energetic supportive of expanded creative thought and new discoveries, whpecially in the arts and sciences.
This lunar cycle's Crescent Moon produces wonderful sunset stellar show, with the Crescent Moon, Venus, Mars and Saturn synthesizing in the heavens, along with the Perseid meteor shower following (peaking between August 11th and 13th), which occurs when Earth passes through the tail of comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so named because these sparks of light emerge from the constellation Perseus, our dynamic hero--providing a message regarding the type of action required in this potent and transformational lunar cycle.
The Full Moon of this lunar cycle occurs in sidereal Aquarius, conjoining Enif of Pegasus, while the Sun conjoins recently discovered Orcus and the star Regulus of Leo, the heart or essence of the Lion, offering a significant revelation. Our Disseminating Moon conjoins Revati of Pisces and Eris, the Great Disruptor, suggesting money and resources may play a significant role in this lunar cycle. Mercury begins its retrograde in this Lunar Cycle as well, during which a new 116-day Earth-Mercury humanitarian-focused synodic cycle will begin.
These are just a few of many events occurring in this very dynamic lunar cycle. The Monthly Lunar Planner explores the details of these events and more, based in star-level astronomical astrology and synodic astrology.

Planetary cycles create the evolutionary currents of growth occurring within ourselves and our lives. To know what these cycles of life are asking of us is to consciously participate in life from a place of personal empowerment and inner peace. In this awareness and attunement, we can walk the path leading to our highest fulfillment-- physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The Lunar Planner is an experiential tool teaching how to live in attunement to the natural Lunar & Planetary Cycles--supplemented with astronomical star-level astrology and much more.
There are three parts to the Monthly Lunar Planner Publication:
• The Lunar Planner Introduction
• The Monthly Lunar Calendar
• The Monthly Lunar Planner Commentary
The Monthly "Lunar Calendar" and the "Lunar Planner Introduction" PDF downloads are FREE to all visitors to this web site. These two documents will teach you how to live in attunement to the Lunar Cycles. (Links to these files can be found below.) A new "Lunar Calendar" is made available just before each New Moon. If you use the Monthly Lunar Calendar like a daily journal while using the Lunar Planner Introduction as guide, you can quickly learn how to participate in harmony with the natural lunar spiral of growth and gain an entirely new understanding and perspective of your life experience.
The "Monthly Lunar Planner Commentary," also made available just before each New Moon, is available by subscription. This monthly publication articulates the opportunity for growth in consciousness each lunar month offers and how each month's lunar theme unfolds throughout the changing phases of the Lunar Calendar. I explore the theme of each lunar month and its unfoldment in our lives with "astronomical star-level astrology" which I have evolved over many years. This is not sign-based astrology (topical or sidereal), but is experientially-based astrology exploring alignments with individual stars and constellations much like one would naturally learn by living and sleeping under the starry heavens.
The rest of the Lunar Planner web site including the "Lunar Planner Forum," and many other educational resources are free and are available to everyone.
I also offer a few other publications available to purchase: Planetary Bio-harmonic Audio Meditations, Personalized Star Charts, and other educational material.
The Monthly Lunar Planner Commentary available on each New Moon (based in sidereal / star level astrology) is available for a small subscription fee--merely the price of one good Cappuccino per month.
I hope my existing visitors, as well as new visitors, find the subscription of value. After offering the monthly Lunar Planner Commentary for free for many years, I now ask for this small subscription fee to allow me the ability to continue to host and evolve what has become a rather voluminous web site.
The Lunar Planner Forum is an exciting addition to the Lunar Planner Web Site available to everyone--to subscribers and non-subscribers.
The Lunar Planner Forum is intended to be a fun and educational way for Lunar Planner visitors to learn from each other's experiences.
Discuss the Lunar Planner, Sidereal Astrology, Earth's Precessional Holy Cross, and all other Lunar Planner related topics--from bio-harmonics to the stars; private messaging for forum participants, and much more.
New subscribes have a seven-day trial period to explore the current Monthly Lunar Planner before committing to the 6-month subscription. You can also visit the Lunar Planner Archive to view previous issues of the Lunar Planner so you can get a feel for what the monthly Lunar Planners are all about--a continuing story-line revealing the monthly energetics creating our evolutionary spiral of growth, articulated through sidereal star-level astrology, synodic astrology, and astronomical mythology, the picture-language of the Greater Heavens. Lunar Planners older than 6 months are available to non-subscribers.
TESTIMONIAL
Hi Nick,
I wanted to write you a note and let you know that you are the first subscription that I have ever signed up for on the internet since I have been using it. I have been so used to everything being free for so long in the 'wild-west' days of the web that I didn't really find anything I thought was worth paying for...
Until you !
I have been wanting to write you / speak with you for a while anyway because the level of your understanding is so profound that I wanted to connect a little more on where it is coming from. I had been aware of your work through another galactic astrologer friend of mine Norma Tarango years ago. She was sending me some of your work...and since I have found it online and I print it out and read it faithfully every month...
So this is to tell you that I think subscribing to your work is well worth it. Your level of understanding and galactic connectivity is profound and it has opened much understanding for me...so thank you !
Thank you again for your work and all that you carry ~ Nickki Lee Hill

The Lunar Planner Introduction & the Monthly Lunar Calendar.
About Astronomical Astrology and the Monthly Lunar Planner Commentary.
Soul Infusion and DNA Illumination - getting grounded.
There are three parts to the Monthly Lunar Planner:
This printable document provides simple and empowering instructions on how to live in attunement to the natural lunar phases. Includes a detailed explanation of the characteristics of each lunar phase, how one lunar phase shifts to another, creating an experiential monthly rhythm of our personal growth.
The Lunar Planner Introduction is not something to just read, it is an experiential and participatory tool that can empower you to live in harmony and balance with your emotional and physical experience. To gain full benefit from the Lunar Planner, use it along with each month's lunar calendar on a daily basis: write down your experiences and feelings in each month's calendar, especially before and after each lunar phase shift. Noting and observing your experiences and feelings on a daily basis--in the context of the lunar phase characteristics as presented in this Introduction--is the key. Doing so quickly reveals how your life experience, inner feelings, and realizations already occur in tune with the lunar phases. As you observe the synchronicity between your life experience, inner feelings, and the changing lunar phases, you can then learn to consciously live attuned to the natural spiral of growth rather than just observe it, not only scheduling your activities within the lunar spiral of growth, but more importantly, embracing your life experience in its fullness, living in the present and thus gaining greater self-empowerment through the inner growth your life experience has to offer.
The Introduction is a 7 page PDF file available to view or download (~200 kb).
PDF (portable document format) files are a standard, cross-platform, easy to download, printable file format. Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or greater (or an equivalent PDF reader like MAC's Preview) is required to view and print the Lunar Planner PDF files. Acrobat Reader is available to download FREE for any platform (MAC, Windows...) from Adobe Software.
The two page Lunar Calendar is posted just before each NEW MOON. The Lunar Calendar reveals the dates and times of each lunar phase shift and their changing characteristics. You can use the lunar calendar as a daily planner as well as a journal to record your experiences and feelings as the changing lunar phase occur.
Writing your experiences in the Lunar Calendar and correlating them with the changing lunar phases is the best way to learn how the lunar cycles and their changes phases work at an experiential level. Working with the Lunar Planner Introduction along with each month's lunar calendar can help you to become consciously aware of the lunar rhythm in your life and how to participate with it in empowerment. The Lunar Calendar goes hand-in-hand with the above Lunar Planner Introductory pdf file.
• An "Aspects Version" of the Lunar Calendar is still available to subscribers, It has the principal lunar aspects and other planetary cycles listed under each lunar phase, for those wishing to have this additional information.
• The "Journal Version" of the Lunar Calendar has all aspects removed, thus making room to use it as a journal. Writing your experiences in the Lunar Calendar and correlating them with the changing lunar phases is the best way to learn how the lunar cycle of growth works at an experiential level.
The August 10 2010 Lunar Calendar
The monthly Lunar Planner is based in star level, Sidereal Astrology and Synodic Astrology with unique and original Galactic Star Lore--the mythology (picture language) of the Greater Heavens. Each New Moon Theme articulates the cycles of growth unfolding in our lives. The theme of each lunar month weaves a story line of our evolutionary unfoldment and spiritual awakening. Each New Moon theme is posted just before each New Moon, along with the new month's Lunar Calendar.
Looking at the astrology of individual stars rather than that of mere astrological signs (whether tropical or sidereal), is like adjusting an out of focus camera lens into crystal clarity.
Although each lunar month's astrological commentary reveals the dynamics of the unfolding lunar theme and provides an embracing context to our experience, it is adjunct material. It is not necessary to read the monthly astrology to learn to live in attunement to the lunar calendar as offered in the above free Lunar Planner Introduction and by using each month's free Lunar Calendar. The monthly lunar theme is also a wonderful educational tool for the sidereal astrologer wishing to learn more about astronomy, synodic cycles, the fixed stars and their influence in astrology.
Previous Lunar Month Comentaries can found here.
Lunar Planners older than six months become availabe to non-subscribers.
Links to all articles about astrological and astronoimcal events.
All other educational material can be found here.
Learn about Earth's Precession; the relationship between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs; the astrological ages, the intercession of Earth's Precessional Holy Cross; measurement of the precessional rate, and introducing the Galactic Ayanamsa: Reckoning of the sidereal zodiak to the galactic axis of Earth's Precessional Holy Cross is based upon the spherical geometry created by Earth's precessional orientation in the solar system and our solar system's current location and orientation in the galaxy), rather than merely on star locations as seen from Earth.
A retrograde period of a planet marks the time when we disengage from a planet's previous synodic cycle and engage in its next one. Learn more about these underlying cycles of growth--the musical score creating the symphony upon which we evolve. In addition to an introduction to Synodic Cycles, there are links to several articles about specific synodic cycles with the main planets as well as with the newly discover dwarf planets: Eris, Quaoar, Ixion, Orcus, etc.
Getting to know the heavens: This is a sky map of the heavens that shows the stars, constellations, and the sidereal signs. Visually learn how the stars and constellations interrelate and blend to create each sidereal sign. This is a wonderful tool for the novice or seasoned sidereal astrologer, for the astronomer, for the casual sky watcher, or simply for those wishing to know more of the Greater Heavens under which we live. The Sky Chart is also a wonderful reference for the material presented in each month's Lunar Planner.
Learn about the four primary Asteroids - Ceres, Juno, Vesta, and Pallas; the Centaurs - Chiron, Phollus and Nessus; and the recently discovered "Dwarf Planets of the Kuiper Belt" - The Friends of Pluto: Quaoar, Ixion, Varuna, Orcus and Eris (which was discovered on January 5, 2005 and is larger than Pluto), Sedna, Haumea & Makemake
There are two Venus Transit occurring in this millennium, also called a Venus Passage. The Venus Transit presently upon us comes in a pair, with each transit in the pair spaced eight years apart. One transit occurs on June 8, 2004 and the other on June 6, 2012. This is a rare once in a life time event. The last Venus Transit (pair) occurred 129.5 years ago in 1874 and 1882. The next pair will occur 113.5 years from this one, in 2117 and 2125.
During a Venus Transit, Venus lies directly in front of the Sun and in line with Earth, at which time Venus acts like a gravitational lens focusing the sun's rays through Venus onto Earth. Thus, the Venus Transit creates a condition where the harmonizing and beneficent resonances of Venus are highly focused (emblazoned) upon the Earth--inspiring a new level of Venusian qualities to permeate Earth and spread throughout human consciousness. This specific transit pair (2004-2012), because it coincides with Earth's current Precessional Cross, strongly supports the reintegration and emergence of the Divine Feminine in our world--which desperately awaits the guidance and balance of the Goddess. In addition, the direct Sun-Earth-Venus alignemnet makes the new Earth-Venus 584-day synodic cycle of extra significance.
This article explores the eight-year pentagonal cycle of Venus; how the retrogrades of Venus are created; the 243-year Venus Passage cycle; why the transits in this cycle come in pairs for a while and why they then become singular; the drift of this cycle through the zodiak; the star alignments of the 2004/2012 transits in the sidereal zodiak; the psychophysiology (mental-emotional-physical facets) of Venus in our lives; and the astrophysical resonances of Venus in light (color), sound, and brain wave frequencies.
Learn about the Venus Elongations and their correspondences with the Crescent and Balsamic Moons.
The Astronomy and the Astrology: In August 2003, Mars was closer to Earth than it has ever been in about 73,000 years. It appeared more than six times larger than normal and 85 times brighter--brighter than Jupiter. Learn about the significance and astronomy of this event, and about the future cycles of Mars.
There is an email that seems to circulate about this 2003 event, erroneously claiming it is occurring each year the email circulates; as well as a statement that Mars will appear larger than the moon - pretty silly eh?. Learn the facts here.
A reference list of books on Star Names, Star Lore, Sidereal Astrology, and associated topics.
IntroducingGet Attuned: A planet does not merely resonate to one frequency, as is sometimes thought, it is a complex rotating dynamic system composed of many astrophysical parameters that together create a planet's unique "harmonic signature."
The entire composition created by all of the individual planetary harmonic signatures, as well as the cycles they create with each other, establishes the musical symphony of our solar system, the harmonic environment in which life on Earth evolves. Thus we are not separate from these harmonic resonances, our biological and neurological systems function in attunement to this astrophysical symphony. Each planetary harmonic signature thus resonates with its corresponding neurological aspect of our selves--our entire mental, emotional and physical composition--the science behind the astrology.
Each 15-minute audio meditation is meticulously designed to incorporate a planet's harmonic signature in a way that brings the listener through a profound inner journey. Get in touch with and resolve issues you may have surrounding a specific planetary quality, strength and harmonize that planetary quality within self and in your life.
The Star Catalog has 2 parts: It is a step-by-step instruction manual teaching how to create a Sidereal Astrology Chart, complete with fixed stars and deep-space objects.
The Star Catalog also lists the sidereal longitudes and latitudes of over 600 stars and deep-space objects in a unique format making it easy for the astrologer to add stars to any astrology chart .
Did you ever wonder where the planets and asteroids were in the heavens when you were born? This made to order chart of the sidereal heavens shows their actual location at the time of YOUR birth. Visually learn which stars conjoin your natal planets; and see where they reside in the constellations and sidereal signs. Learn about your Horizon Plane, Meridian, and Prime Vertical, how these great circles create your Personal (Natal Cross), and how it nests upon Earth's Precessional Holy Cross--all creating your personal sacred geometry. This is your personal astronomy from which an astrology chart is derived. These great circles create your Ascendant, Descendant, Mid-heaven, Anti-Mid-heaven, Zenith, Nadir, East Point, and Vertex. Your Personalized Star Chart reveals exactly where these great circles and points lie in the heavens, and which stars and constellations they align with. This chart will provide insight into your greater self for years to come--and it prints as a beautiful high-resolution poster. You can also learn about the Great Circles and Personal Points in the Star Chart via this link.
The cross in a circle, is not only a spiritual symbol, it is also the astronomical symbol for planet Earth. The cosmic significance of this symbol is that it marks the timing of a primary transition or turning in the natural evolutionary cycle of the Earth. hidden within this symbol is a map referring to a unique occurrence of a specific geometric relationship between Earth, the solar system, and our galaxy--an astrophysical event occurring NOW, within Earth's ~25,000 year, precessional cycle. The precessional movement of the Earth governs the evolutionary unfoldment of consciousness on Earth. This portal of evolutionary change, occurring now in Earth's Precessional Cycle of the Holy Cross, propels human consciousness into Galactic (Unified Field) Awareness.

An intimate exploration of the asteroid Vesta. 2011 will be the year when we gain a deeper understanding of Vesta--asteroid of focus, dedication and commitment--thanks to NASA's DAWN. This will bring a signifcant astrological emphasis to Vesta, and her role in our lives. DAWN is less than one year away from Vesta and will enter orbit around Vesta in late July 2011 bringing us breathtaking images of Vesta. Previous missions have shown us a handful of asteroids, but none as large as this hulking relic of the early solar system. Measuring 350 miles across and containing almost 10% of the mass of the entire asteroid belt, Vesta is a world unto itself. Dawn will investigate two of the largest proto-planets in the main asteroid belt; Vesta in 2011 and Ceres in 2015. (NASA)

NASA's Solar Cycle #24 Prediction UPDATE - June 2010: Solar Cycle #24 is expected to peak in April or May 2013, with a peak sunspot number of 70. This is the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78," says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.NASA's Solar Cycle #24 Prediction It is tempting to describe such a cycle as "weak" or "mild," but that could give the wrong impression. "Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather," points out Biesecker. "The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013." The 1859 storm--known as the "Carrington Event".... "if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause $1 to 2 trillion in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure....". More on the Sun & Solar Cycle 24 Predictions
To say Phobos, a moon of Mars, is hollow is a bit of an over statement, however it has been concluded by Mars Express that the interior of Phobos likely contains large voids. Mars Express passes by Phobos about every five months providing opportunity for close-up analysis. The next flybys will occur in August 2010 and January 2011. More at the The ESA Mars Express Blog.
