Mercury Retrograde in Leo and The Super Full Moon in Aquarius - The Pleiadians

Transcribed Excerpt from Our 8:8 Lion's Gate Portal Event on August 8, 2024

Our thanks and love to Susan Todd for generously transcribing this.

Now we're going to talk about some other things that are unfolding for you all celestially and astrologically. There's a lot in this very, very active period right now. So we wanted to point out some big moments and dates ahead. We're not going to get to everything happening for you all right now, because there's just too much to talk about. We'd be here for hours if we were going to run down every single astrological aspect. So we've highlighted a few for you all today.

Right now, Mercury is in retrograde. In this first part of Mercury being in retrograde, you are sitting in Virgo, Mercury's in Virgo, which is putting your attention on the people around you and the world around you. You may have found initially when Mercury went retrograde on August 4th or 5th, depending on where you are, that you were a little annoyed with, oh, the world around you or the people around you. This is what started to get highlighted for you all. Virgo is very earthy. It's very much concerned with the world around us, and when we say concerned, we don't mean that in a worrying, kind of way, we mean in an actual focus on Earth around you kind of way. And yet, there are things to be concerned about, certainly. So that got highlighted.

This has eased a bit as you've gotten used to it. You're like, “Oh yeah, that's right. That's what's going on there.”

Whatever was going on for you all, perhaps arguments and conflict, and tensions, or maybe just feeling like, “Yuck! I fucking hate it here!” wherever you were, this has eased now. You're going to find as Mercury moves into Leo, which happens on the 14^th, you're going to put that attention on yourself. And what's going to happen there is you're going to highlight what you love about yourself. You know, you're going to remember, and this is what we love about retrogrades, they get such a bad rap on your world, right? It's like, “Uh-oh! So and so is retrograde! Ahh! Shit's gonna hit the fan!”

We like the interpretation that retrogrades allow you to re-evaluate, re-work, reconsider, renew, re-everything and anything, reminding you that nothing is set in stone. Which enables you to recreate your entire self, your entire identity, and your entire experience of your world.

So, you're going to find this happening as Mercury moves into Leo, August 14th through the 28th. Big focus on yourself. “How do I feel about myself? What do I love?” and “What bugs me about me?” And when these things come up, this is where the process of unconditional acceptance and unconditional self-love is going to be effective. It's going to be necessary. Because if you let yourself slide into self-negation during that period of time, and you will, it's going to happen. So don't beat yourself up when you do it.

When you do it, say, “Ah, yes, this is what Nora and the Pleiadians were talking about. This is that self-negation moment.”

Then take a breath, and ask yourself in the moment, “How do I feel right now?” Then give yourself an answer - “sad, frustrated, angry,.....” whatever.

And the second question to ask yourself is, “What do I need?”

“I need to get outside, I need a cookie, I need a bath, I need....” whatever it is, and give that to yourself. “I need to watch some comedy”, whatever it is, right? And give that to yourself.

This will put you back into your heart space because you'll be taking care of yourself. There is nothing like self-care to put you back in your heart, back in an equitable relationship with yourself, that then allows you to remember your value across the board, that allows you to remember that even the things about you that bug the crap about you are inherently valuable. It allows you to do this, and then you'll start to have more fun during this second half of Mercury in retrograde in Leo through August 28^th.

Now we want to call your attention to August 19th. Two big things are happening on the 19th. The moon will be full in Aquarius, which is the bookend event or the counterbalance or the bringing to fruition the seeds you planted on the new moon in Aquarius on February 9th. So it might be fun for you to look at your calendar, to kind of backtrack, see what it was you were working on, not just, it wasn't just February 9th because Imbolc was a big day for you as well, and that energy is very wrapped up in this. So, we would say, look at the last week of January through the second week of February.

“What was I doing? What was I thinking about? What was I planning? What was I intending? What was I worrying about? What was I wanting for myself and the world?”

Because on August 19^th, the doors are going to open up with this full moon, this super full moon, for you to begin to receive and take action in bigger ways on what was brewing in your cauldron on that super new moon, and that was a super new moon, in Aquarius on Feb 9. So now you have a super full moon in Aquarius on August 19th.

The other thing that's happening is Uranus is squaring Jupiter on that day, as well. This could open the door for some bigger kind of power plays and power games happening in the world around you. You're probably going notice it more happening in the world around you. And, you know, Nora of course pays attention to specific events in your world. So her focus went immediately to the first day of the Democratic National Convention, which is on August 19th. So this is going to be a highly charged day. Just let yourselves know that it's a highly charged day. And for yourself personally, put yourself in receptive mode, and let yourself really open up to all of that beauty joy, prosperity, and abundance that is your birthright because you are here, because you are love incarnate. For no other reason than this.
