New Moon Notes; August 4, 2005

August 4, '05 NewMoon

This August new moon chart has been a fascinating one to investigate, because it's so very concentrated and focused upon the 72-degree swath between Saturn in Leo and Jupiter in Libra.  Everybody reading this newsletter is located in different places, but in Seattle where I live, this entire swath (Saturn, Moon and Sun, plus Mercury retrograde all in Leo, Venus in Virgo and Jupiter in Libra) is tucked into the seventh house. That leaves only four planets left, and two of them, Neptune in Aquarius and Uranus in Pisces, are in the first house, making a counterpoint of sorts to the group in the 7th.  Certainly a lot of energy tied up in this axis!

Golden Apple of the Alphabet

by Christine Payne Towler

Hebrew Letters are the main method by which astrological correspondences are justified on the Major Arcana of esoteric Tarot. These letters provide the logic for saying "The Magus is Mercury" or "The Magus correspondends to Primal Air." So the relation of the letters to the Arcana is of vital interest to occultists, magicians, and those interested in the psychology of the Arcana in astrological terms.

World Servers' Spread: A 3-Card Reading for the World

by Christine Payne Towler

This post provides an introduction to the 3-card Tarot variation, the centerpost of this  World Servers' Spread. The Three-card reading is one of the most simple and yet most subtle tools in the Tarot reader's arsenal of spreads.  Because it can be adjusted to highlight a number of concerns inside a very tight scope (the steps of 1-2-3), a creative Tarot user can virtually carry on for an entire career using only this spread and its multiples.
