Penumbral Lunar Eclipse August 18, 2016 by Brenda Black, C.A.P. There will be a Lunar Eclipse at 25 degrees Aquarius on August 18, 2016. It can be experienced in Los Angeles at 2:26 AM and in New York at 5:26 AM. This Lunar Eclipse is a mild one and will not produce any shadow over the Moon. So it will act more like a normal Full Moon. It is a Penumbral Eclipse and travels over both eastern and western North America. It also touches upon the eastern tip of Russia, the Bering Sea, and the Aleutian Islands. Those born on the 16th, 17th and 18th of any month, especially Leos and Aquarians, will be affected by this eclipse. The Sabian Symbols for this eclipse will put us in touch with both physical and metaphysical realities as written by Stephanie Austin in the August/September 2016 edition of The Mountain Astrologer. The Symbol for the Sun is “After the heavy storm, a rainbow.” The Symbol for the Moon is “A garage man testing a carʼs battery with a hydrometer” 4 of 17 8/1/16 10:24 AM News from Arizona Society of Astrologers - August 2016 News... The New Moon at 10 degrees of Leo on August 2, 2016 brings beginnings and the Full Moon in Aquarius compliments things that were started at the beginning of August. Following are comments about this Lunar Eclipse by Jamie Partridge on his website at www.astrologyking.com/lunar-eclipse-august-2016/ . This Lunar Eclipse puts the finishing touch on the effects that the Solar Eclipse, at 18 Pisces on March 8-9, 2016, had on us for the last six months. It prepares us for the new six-month period brought in by the Solar Eclipse at 9 degrees of Virgo on September 1, 2016. In the chart of this Lunar Eclipse the Moon sextiles Uranus and the Sun trines Uranus. This formation may reconcile relationship imbalances and polarities in life. It may “influence us to try something new and leave our comfort zones” says Jamie Partridge. It is possible that an old relationship can be renewed through contact on the Internet. Another positive aspect is that Mercury aligns with Jupiter putting us in a happier frame of mind. Under this influence disputes can be settled and buying and selling should turn a profit.

Yes, we did all the calculations by hand back then! Astrology, to me is our blueprint in life and has been instrumental in assisting me in understanding life. Itʼs not a finite field or subject and thatʼs what I love about it with my Sagittarius moon! My Bachelorʼs degree in is Holistic Health, and my Masterʼs is in Licensed Professional Counseling. I am also a graduate of the American Medical College of Homeopathy and the British Institute of Homeopathy. I have been a member of ASA since the middle 6 of 17 8/1/16 10:24 AM News from Arizona Society of Astrologers - August 2016 News... 80ʼs when I moved to Phoenix just before my first Saturn Return when Saturn was crossing my north node, and then IC with my daughter, sister, and a few suitcases! Iʼve studied astrology in its various forms and teachings and I specialize in using astrology to assist someone in finding their core issue and healing from there. I am currently working on developing astrology classes for beginners as well as working with astrological homeopathic remedies made from the energies of the planets and exploring medical astrology in depth. I have been the Program Director for ASA over the past two years and have enjoyed the journey! I would love to and it would be an honor to serve and to be the President of ASA for the next two years. Iʼd like to focus on “making new friends and keeping the old” and also focus on the education and professional development of our members who wish to do so. Letʼs keep ASA growing and of course FUN for all! Contact and more info: www.moonnodes.com and www.familyhomeopathyinc.com. Phone: 602-625-4721. Email: Debsquest1@aol.com SHRUTI SHYANANI CANDIDATE FOR VICE PRESIDENT I grew up in N.W. suburbs of Chicago, and moved to Phoenix three years ago. I love the winters, beautiful mountains, desert and people of Arizona, but I am still getting used to the Arizona summers. I have always been interested in Astrology since I was a child, but my study started when I took Introduction to Astrology class at the local community center while I was in high school. Since then my study has continued as a hobby and I have attended multiple conferences as well as became a member of local Friends of Astrology and NCGR organization. Being an analytical engineer, I am interested in electional and horary astrology, which allows me to gauge the results of my astrology analysis. My interest in astrology has continued to grow as more I learn, more I find out there is still an ocean of knowledge to uncover. The breath of astrology keeps my Mercury in Gemini satisfied . I strongly support continued growth of knowledge in astrology and as one of my small contribution to it, I am running for the position of Vice President. For the past two years, I have served as the President of ASA and as Technical Director. I believe it is important to create an enjoyable environment for 7 of 17 8/1/16 10:24 AM News from Arizona Society of Astrologers - August 2016 News... learning astrology while being fiscally responsible. During the past year I led in eliminating the cost of sending out the newsletter and reduced the website hosting costs by 80% the previous year. I am versatile, team player, friendly and have been recognized for my leadership skills by upper level management at work. I have and I am currently serving on the board of professional organization. I would welcome and appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve this wonderful organization by collaboratively working with rest of the leadership board as the Vice President of Arizona Society of Astrology ANITA PETRIELLO CANDIDATE FOR EXECUTIVE SECRETARY My name is Anita Petriello, and I am running for ASA Executive Secretary in the upcoming election. Having been an ASA member since September 2011, I have served on the ASA Board since November 2012. It was then that I was appointed Member-at-Large. In January 2014, I was voted in as Executive Secretary, replacing then secretary Barbara Berg. Along with being Executive Secretary, I was a former editor of the ASA monthly newsletter. My goal today is to continue to work closely with the ASA Board if re-elected to this position. Having the utmost respect for the ASA as an educational vehicle to progress the field of astrology, I plan to continue its work toward advancement for all willing to take this rewarding path. We must never lose sight of this commitment. My astrological path began as a teenager when Pluto transited over my Neptune, and my commitment to astrology continues to grow stronger today. The ASA has helped me advance my understanding of astrology since I attend my first meeting in 2011, and this September will be my fifth year as a member. Volunteering my time in education has encompassed a major portion of my life. I hold a BA in English and am certified to teach secondary education language arts. I am a substitute teacher for the Kyrene School District, widowed, and live with my two dogs in Ahwatukee.

His family perished and he managed to survive. Pi asks the writer..."Which story do you prefer? Humans are storytellers. We like to make meaning of the events in our lives or even to describe what is happening in the heavens at any given time. We can decide to turn challenging events into a great adventure or an awful tragedy. I can tell you which story I prefer. It is the one that provides us with hope. Not hope that says if we do nothing everything will be fine. But instead, the hope that says, I can do something to make things better. It may only be a small thing, but if I consistently practice that one act of improvement; it will ripple out and it just 12 of 17 8/1/16 10:24 AM News from Arizona Society of Astrologers - August 2016 News... might change the world. What story do you prefer? Because the one you tell yourself is probably the one that will define your experience. Choose wisely. August 2, Mars enters the sign of Sagittarius bringing a surge of adventurous energy. Star Wisdom: Pay attention to what energizes you. Move your body and give Mars an outlet for your enthusiasm. August 2---New Moon in Leo--Time to tap into our creativity. Star Wisdom: Just when you think you have exhausted all options, try again. August 5-Venus enters the sign of Virgo-This can be a time of using our resources more efficiently. Star Wisdom: Simplify your life. Before spending more money, ask yourself, do I really need this? 13 of 17 8/1/16 10:24 AM News from Arizona Society of Astrologers - August 2016 News... August 12---Jupiter opposite Chiron-Jupiter likes to expand and sometimes proselytize. In Virgo, Jupiter can encourage a certain dogmatic adherence to the law, while Chiron encourages us to heal and listen more to the spirit, which can lead to more compassion. Star Wisdom: It is time to relinquish our more primal instincts and reach for the higher side of our humanity. August 13---Saturn turns direct. Patience pays off. Star Wisdom---If we put forth the effort needed to take full advantage of opportunities we are given; this will result in ultimate success. August 18--Full Moon--Sun in Leo, Moon in Aquarius. There will also be a penumbral eclipse. While this is not as powerful as a total eclipse, hidden and unconscious matters can surface. Star Wisdom: 14 of 17 8/1/16 10:24 AM News from Arizona Society of Astrologers - August 2016 News... Instead of whining and hoping for change, perhaps we can take some responsibility for the change we want to see. August 22--Sun enters Virgo-Virgo represents are need to analyze and function efficiently. Wherever the sign of Virgo falls in your natal chart is a place to examine more closely. Star Wisdom: A good time to cultivate character. Be consistent, keep our word, and be accountable for our own actions. August 29---Venus enters the sign of Libra--perhaps we can expect more balance. Star Wisdom: What lessons can we learn from our challenges? If we learn, then perhaps we can avoid repeating future errors. August 30--Mercury turns retrograde at 29 degrees of Virgo, conjunct Jupiter. Time to revise our 15 of 17 8/1/16 10:24 AM News from Arizona Society of Astrologers - August 2016 News... thinking. Look at life from more than one perspective. Star Wisdom: Avoid tunnel vision. After all, the light at the end of the tunnel could be a train coming at you full speed. “It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time.
