Runes of the month
We're under the sky of Leo between July 22 and August 22. But the skies, year after year, are never the same. Nor are the different perspectives on I Ching hexagrams associated to each season. From now on, a new vision on natural cycles is complemented by forecasts for each Hemisphere.
In Tarot, different decks provide keys to understanding each sign, as some contain symbols and details that others don't, and vice-versa. Each card is part of a set, its own deck, but when putting decks together, it's seen there's a larger set. Likewise, each planet is an entire world, but the solar system is the larger whole, and is centered around the Sun, ruler of Leo.
This larger whole, which seems eternal, brings a very particular situation for both Hemispheres during the month. The birth charts for new born babies and the entire lunar month display karmic complications, and we'll have to find other options or ways to go through them, different from the usual ones.
Finally, the Newsletter includes a new section specifically dedicated to the Norse runes. Three of them are related to Leo, and you'll find them at the end of this delivery.

Leo is associated to The Magician (1). Here are some guidelines to bring together the Aquarian (David Palladini), Egyptian (Kier Ed.) and Marseille decks.
With The Magician, one of the most individual situations the Tarot describes appears. It involves the person's concentration on themselves, their attention, resources, expectations, and interests. There's motion, a move toward some goal, but the motivations are very particular and arise from eccentricity. The impersonal and the personal combine for who knows what…
This who knows what is quite real. The Magician is not an illusionist, nor does he play with his tools. He may even flaunt them as a superficial attraction, but his work lies in how he combines his intentions and knowledge to obtain what he wants. Facing the present, the past, or the future, The Magician is able to create with the materials at his disposal, that is, starting from what he possesses at the moment.

Facing the present, the past, or the future, The Magician is able to create with the materials at his disposal, that is, starting from what he possesses at the moment.
The Aquarian card also connects with eternal life, as these creative abilities are present over time, with no final horizon: The Magician can go through any circumstance, positive or negative, and emerge renewed and unscathed. While the Egyptian card reminds us that The Magician has a dualistic nature that can be both harmful and beneficial, and again, who knows what, the Marseille card brings a note to pay attention to previous steps, as if we were expecting something to arrive at any moment, as if we knew the causes and consequences of what The Magician or others have been doing.These very dynamic cards return our gaze to all possible moments: before, now, and after. What has been happening? What is happening now? What will we do later? The ability to make a creation is not conditioned in any way, since this is a figure who actively works on every aspect of reality.In this sense, nothing stops The Magician, he's all-powerful and unfathomable. He focuses on himself but acts as if he wants nothing for himself. In fact, this is the case. He's a personalistic figure who acts inspired by some kind of freedom coming along with desire, a desire that is not focused on personal matters.The techniques he employs are a facade through which he displays the ability to transform anything falling into his hands. He's not a selfless figure nor worldly transcendence: The Magician is everywhere as an active presence, committed to the energy he finds on the way and encompassing a 360-degree radius to observe, move, and radiate... with one eye inward and the other outward.

Northern Hemisphere
Natural cycle. In it, the expansion and contraction of beings and things always happen, at their own pace and time.
KOU Coupling (44) Destructive cycle in which heaven prevails.
You have to pursue something specific, as if it were a fleeting need at the moment. Even with no set goals, expect for any action, even the most selfless one, could become the beginning of the unforeseen. It'll have quite specific and defined characteristics leading to inflexible roles and assigned places inside of relationships. This is a paradox in Kou: whether you define one direction or another, whether you assume one mode or another, whether you enter or exit, whether you show something or hide it, at the same time there's something that remains as basic, constant, unchanged. It's a situation to be discriminated against, or at least to work on it.
Forecast. Other movements happen within the framework provided by the natural cycle.
SHIH Army (7). Complement: CHING The Water Well (48)
Collective strength seems to be a process itself, and to keep on going, it requires empty spaces to flow, precisely to find strength. Inexperience can play tricks and end up creating needs, but they are not the goal if trying to grow. Shih tells there're wrong drives, both in groups and society, especially if the recommendations given by more experienced people are not heeded. In any case, people will tend to gather around sources and resources, which will benefit good relationships, even if these ones are based on shortages or situations of need.
Southern Hemisphere
Natural cycle. In it, the expansion and contraction of beings and things always happen, at their own pace and time.
FU Return (24). Destructive cycle in which thunder prevails.
Effects from the past are now seen, because a new present is starting under the form of another cycle. Times left behind have been decomposed and discarded. Now it's time to make a renewal, even if it's not sought. It's now clear where circumstances have led to, what movements preceded them, and what qualities were present in beings and things before this new cycle began, which is timidly revealing itself today. Indeed, the effects of those times and moves have caused the return of creativity, now being expressed by some new forms.
Forecast. Other movements happen within the framework provided by the natural cycle.
T'UNG JEN Concording People (13). Complement: I Increase (42)
There would be internal and external changes oriented to achieve a specific objective. But setbacks could arise, since after taking action, it will likely be necessary to make a stop. In any case, moving forward on matters and regaining lost vision will show that no more can be done beyond what has been already done. Concording people will make moves, and it must do so. And, only when realizing that it cannot be done more than what is currently being done, benefits will show up on their own under the form of a highly dynamic, productive and provisioner situation, always keeping in mind what is possible to achieve or attain in the current state of affairs.

Vital Astrology is Astrology about motion in natal karma, in the development of elementals, and in the exercise of free will. In Leo, there's a continuity across different tones of expression, from the astral to the most ethereal one.
Vital development
Leo isn't interested in whether things, projects, or tendencies are shared or not, and simply focuses on what is original to the sign, what hasn't been expressed, what appears without further ado and without prior trace, what arises as an effect of the sign, from the sign and nothing else.
This disposition is similar to that of Aquarius, but the process is quite different. Uranus rules the mental expression of the lion, and all the qualities of the planet are centered on the individual: leadership (and if not for others, at least for themselves).
As the years go by, the development of the sign makes its natives especially perceptive about what might emerge in the future, but they may no longer be around to see their own seeds grow...
Free will
The use of means, relationships, and ways of carrying out affairs or carrying out activities are defined by the sign's own interests. But this self-reference is not obvious to others.
Much depends on the sign's own mental orientation: influence, generosity, and utilitarianism are possible expressions of a sign that provides to others when it receives, and vice-versa.
Even if other signifiers on the birth chart tells of reserve and dissimulation, the mere presence of Leos, as well as the results of their actions, ultimately clearly expose their intentions. In any case, this is something natives do not shy away from: it's a way to define circumstances and define themselves among people and inside of different situations.
Driven to the extreme, another Leo's possible characteristic is authoritarianism, whether direct and explicit, or indirect and veiled...
Karma
Hyper-focused on goals, action or desire! There's no way they could ignore their own insights, and to achieve them, they're willing to move and dive both into light and darkness.
This type of karma is one of the most active, vital and enthusiastic of the Zodiac, closely connected to the physical aspect of experiences although in terms of innovation, creativity and advancement.
Potentiality is not an idea or an imaginative speculation: natives turn it into a concrete experience fully expressed in everyday life (or at least they try it).
And the most strange thing is that it happens what they never intended to: they find a commonality of interests even when they're navel-gazing!
In visible surfaces, the sign shows a constant expression over time, stable and unaltered. It seems to be invariable, although in fact this characteristic requires to set in motion very dynamic processes which affect the sign in wide comprehensive terms.
To look out carefully...
Moving away from Leo's surroundings isn't just a physical matter. When it happens on a psychic level, natives may deepen eccentric extremes, which in worldly terms can lead to disconnect, loss of resonance, and isolation —something that is completely opposite to Leo's integrative and expansive tendency.
Another important characteristic to be aware of is the possibility to remain stagnated, especially if the sign loses interest in discovering the best in themselves and in others... a situation that can even seem to be like a kind of beneficial halo when, in fact, it hides complacency, suggestibility and conformity.
Generally speaking, these birth charts bring a extremely difficult karma. Sensitivity and intuition could be suppressed, as well as thoughts and words in many births during this period. The cause stems from ideas, mental magnetism and free will, related to traits of an authoritarianism that stops at nothing, neither native's own impulses nor other people's demands. Both dreamy and extrasensory worlds, as well as their opposites, scientific and logical worlds, may remain unavailable. When these types of karmic configurations are displayed in the sky, it's necessary to precisely meditate on the previous use and handling of psychic energy.
Northern HemisphereMoon's rising sign: Virgo. Ruler: Mercury.The past, the causes of the current circumstances, should no longer bring any consequences. If the chance to gain ground presents itself, natives should retreat in that searching. Especially their own influence, and those not very clear or explicit moves, have now closed off the fields of conquest, and will remain doing so, as approachless terrains. Only some natal charts may will achieve a rational understanding of this situation. In those cases, concentrating the mind on the study and discrimination of factors will offer a nascent path forward, since no legacy has been offered by any other for it.
Southern HemisphereMoon's rising sign: Pisces. Ruler: Neptune.Because of the past, native's free will is now directly responsible for current experiences. These birth charts display great mental strength and are especially focused on the use of words and wit. There's skill in going through everyday affairs and all their labyrinths, to the point of leaving no trace on the way. But this same characteristic prevents them from going beyond all of that... Making scale changes will be particularly difficult, which includes the risk of remaining in only what is already known or designed, in a present time that, if extended as it is, will eventually stagnate them.index
Lunar months last approximately 29 days, and are very useful to consider short-term purposes. The beginning of the month is for setting tendencies, and the effects can be fully observed 15 days later. The rest of the month is for decreasing the initial tendency and freeing space for the new cycle to come.NEW MOON. The lunar month begins on July 24 th with Moon and Sun at 2º Leo. For investing in the development and continuity of leading projects, without risk of losing them. Also, for keeping in mind there's more than personal interests: this is a very good Moon to focus on massive tendencies, while conquests and discoveries take place.FULL MOON. Moon will shine on August 9 th at 17º Aquarius, with the Sun at 17º Leo. For letting go any attachments and eliminate conflictive influences, both in the intimate sphere and in social relationships. It's also a very good phase for discarding contradictory idealisms. Dilemmas such as "peace or war" have no place under this Moonlight.
Northern and Southern HemisphereThe lunar month begins with tendencies that, strangely, leave Moon's origin aside. For people from both North and South Hemispheres, the situation is the same: the Mind's karma will have stopped. In any case, the satellite remains "attached" to the Earth and expresses the astral qualities of the moment. To make the best of its monthly influence, it's necessary to first focus on physical experiences and social structures (especially avoiding critical analysis). In the second half of the month, that is, from Full Moon onwards, it'd be better to gather inside home and make it a seductive and inviting place (especially avoiding false appearances and some confusions coming from "empathetic" feelings).
An approach to the analogy between astrological aspects and acoustic physics
The relationship between Astrology and sound is essential for determining the intensity and orbs of the aspects on birth charts. It's necessary to understand astral resonances which, when combined with people's perceptual sensitivity, ultimately create the music of the spheres. The division of the circle into harmonics, and especially their superpositions, are all elements making up the art of interpretation. This article by Sergio Blostein is especially for those interested in the acoustic physics implicit in Astrology.

The runes were introduced to mankind as sounds coming from Odin's mouth. After a cycle of nine days and nine nights on Yggdrasil, the World Tree, Odin bequeathed to us the vibrations ultimately generated by blood roots, after they were transformed throughout their natural cycle. To symbolize it, the runes or "secret letters" were carved into woods, bones, leather, and stones.
Úr (Uruz, from July 22 to 29) - Thurs (Thurisaz, until August 13) - Áss (Ansuz, until August 29)
Úr. [Phonetics: u] It's translated as Aurochs, a beast similar to a bison or a buffalo, and is associated to drizzle. It refers to the very Earth, to tenacity and courage, to solidity and stability, to strength and endurance, like all those things gradually taking shape and structure, and thus resting upon the planet. It also tells of physical power and sexual passion, as untamed energy. In the vital sphere, it's a rune for the use of hygienic waters, healing, and permanence. In forecasts, it announces adversities, tension and stress that could be prevented by using red gemstones to protect against illness and injury.
Thurs. [Phonetics: th] It's translated as The Gate, as well as Giant and Thorn. It is said that Thor, the god of thunder, who was also part giant, wielded Mjollnir, a hammer with which he controlled light, thunder and fertility in the lands. The rune tells of strength to defend oneself, and also to pave the way. Another meaning is hidden or concealed protection (in a natural setting, it'd be found beneath blooms and thorny branches). In forecasts, it recommends to remain cautious... There could be confrontations with unknown dangers and forces that would bring chaos, pain and injury, as well as blockages, anger and aggression. But the inverted position is like receiving good news, as the rune announces a mean is at hand, in the ways of an anvil, to achieve a "magical" or transformative change in circumstances.
Áss. [Phonetics: a] Odin literally shouted out the runes from his mouth while he was lying on Yggdrasil (translated as "Odin's steed"). The rune alludes to the inhaled breath of life, the inspiration of air, and tells of connections with ancestors and elders. It refers to speech, spoken communication, wisdom, the power of thought, and written words. For this reason, it points to eloquent, persuasive, rational and versatile people. In forecasts, it'll provide advice and a greater understanding of what's going on, and the ability to subdue enemies, just as Odin used to do with his voice, plunging them into panic and paralysis.
