Card for today, 30th August 2021

Rider Waite card No 16, XVI The Tower

Tower

Astrological Correspondence: Mars

Keywords: sudden change, pride, houses and buildings, liberation

Description: The Tower card first and foremost illustrates that neither physical nor emotional structures that we build are permanent and stable instead they can be destroyed suddenly, thereby initiating change that we tried to avoid. The sudden change resembled by the crumbling tower reminds us of letting go of outgrown beliefs and values, of letting go of an illusion, an unhealthy relationship, and an old way of life. The sudden change frees us to face the unknown, frees us to move forward instead of stagnate, frees us from social conventions and enlightens us on our path so that we reach a new level of understanding about our purpose in life.

Upright Associations: Sudden change, abrupt end of a friendship, unexpected events, bankruptcy, downfall. Crisis, clearing out your life, collapse, release of tension.

Not embracing the inevitable change brings out the negative elements that the Tower also depicts, being struck down by one's own doing, by vanity and the inability to change so that one remains stagnant.

Reversed Associations: A change for the better, risks. Time to put your life back together. Catastrophe, inability to release tension, containment. holding on to your old life.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for September 2021

 THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for September 2021


Mars: NeptuneDuring the first days of September, Mars in Virgo is opposite Neptune in Pisces. Lack of drive can now tempt you to want to curl up in bed for a few days. With a little self-discipline, however, you can examine the underlying reasons for your desires and actions during this time, and perhaps gain a little more clarity about how to proceed. It's worth it, because the following days will bring new opportunities for self-realization. Already on September 5, Mercury in Libra forms a trine to Saturn in Aquarius. On the 6th, Venus in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn and trines Jupiter in Aquarius, Mars trines Pluto. Suddenly, there is intensity and power again. New plans can be made and implemented immediately, preferably on the New Moon of September 7. The Sun and Moon are then in Virgo trining Uranus in Taurus. Pragmatic action can now have a lasting effect.


The second third of the month brings a volatile mood: Venus enters Scorpio on September 10, indicating intensity in relationship matters. The Sun opposes Neptune on the 14th, Mars enters Libra on the 15th, and Venus squares Saturn on the 17th. It could be a frustrating few days, revealing who is willing and able to translate desire into action. But even this period of restlessness is temporary and lasts only a few days.


Libra: September 21 sees a Full Moon in Pisces. It occurs one day before the Sun enters Libra, the autumnal equinox. The Moon is still under the influence of Neptune, Venus in Scorpio may feel a bit lost, but she is getting ready for the opposition with Uranus (on the 23rd), which indicates some kind of molting. Mercury trines Jupiter and squares Pluto. As Mercury turns retrograde on the 27th, it moves slowly and will remain in this aspect pattern for a few days. The quality of time during these days brings great sensitivity and lustful desires to some, while others could do good business. Some new ideas are now waiting to be discovered, therefore we can expect lively and demanding communication. However, due to the strong involvement of Neptune, the events surrounding the pandemic are in focus again throughout the month, with possible repercussions for both commerce and money matters.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for August 2021

 THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for August 2021


Also in the month of August we have to deal with the challenging tension of Saturn and Uranus. These are complex problems that are visible at the core of society's self-image. The forces of renewal are often at odds with what we hold dear. Although we know that only open hands can receive, we fear letting go. And so at this time, we bounce back and forth between the longing for new developments and the fear of allowing them to happen.


Sun and Saturn So it is at the beginning of the month, when on August 2 the Leo Sun together with Mercury is exactly opposite Saturn in Aquarius. Venus forms a trine to Uranus in Taurus, Mars in Virgo squares Lilith. Now, cold words of power could also be spoken and calculated dominance shown. The good will formed in recent weeks could now turn into defiance in many places. There is a lot of calculating and arguing over details, and as so often this year, the different camps are unwilling to come to an agreement.


On August 7, the day before the New Moon, the Sun is in hard tension with Uranus. Venus in Virgo reaches an opposition to Neptune in Pisces on the 10th. Mercury forms an opposition to Jupiter in Aquarius on the 11th and enters Virgo just a few hours later. Romantic dreams with no connection to reality could vanish into thin air now, in love as well as money matters. Grandiose promises should be met with extreme caution during this time.


Uranus retrograde On August 20, Uranus begins its retrograde phase, which lasts until January 2022. Mercury, along with Mars, is in trine to Uranus, and the Sun is in opposition to Jupiter. It is a good time to start projects that require not only courage but also diligence. The retrograde phase of Uranus (as well as that of Saturn) calls for the consolidation of the experiences made in the last months, in personal as well as in social life, because the third and last square of Saturn and Uranus follows at the end of the year, which will once again tie up many of our resources.


Virgo On 8/22 there is a second Full Moon in Aquarius, on the last degree of the sign. A few hours later the Sun is already in the sign of Virgo. Venus, which has moved into Libra on August 16, is in a friendly trine with Saturn on August 23, as is Mars in Virgo with Uranus in Taurus. Mercury forms an opposition to Neptune two days later, and Venus opposes Chiron on the 26th. If you are brave enough, you can take a look at the naked reality during these days. Afterwards, what is necessary can be done soberly and pragmatically.
