August is the hottest month in Cyprus. Summers here give very small chance for rain – much less storms. Well, Mars today arrived at 2 degrees Aquarius (1 AQU 56) almost exactly the spot it will hold during the final of three squares with Uranus this September 18-19th 2018 (1 AQU 52). Want to know what is happening here right now? An unexpected thunderstorm!

Symbolism coming to life…pretty cool huh?

Check out the degree symbol in Rudhyar’s interpretation of Sabian Symbols (Borrowed from “An Astrological Mandala”)

“PHASE 302 (AQUARIUS 2°): AN UNEXPECTED THUNDERSTORM. “

The degree talks about:” The need to develop the inner security which will enable us to meet unexpected crises. “

Inner integrity! Being prepared. Being flexible. Being resourceful. Brainstorm what this means to you and your unique circumstances and place in life. Expect the unexpected!

“This is NATURE’S CHALLENGE”. Challenge of elements beyond our control. Do we leave room for the unexpected? Are we prepared to face it or even embrace these challenges?

Enjoy a moment of reflection this weekend. Regroup, steady and ready yourself for new energies streaming our way for the upcoming Solar Eclipse on August 11th…and beyond. One step at a time is all we can really do.
