This week: The Sun is in Virgo; Mercury is in Libra; Venus is in Leo; Mars is in Gemini.
The Sun is in Virgo from August 22-September 22. Our focus shifts to the puzzle pieces–the little details of our lives. It is now time to take care of practical concerns. Attending to the details of everyday life may not sound like loads of fun, but it can certainly free us from unnecessary stress that results from “collecting” odds and ends of unfinished business.
This is an ideal time to get organized, do detailed work, and improve communications on the job. We take more pride in our work, chores, and health efforts. We also want to be more organized and informed during the Sun-in-Virgo cycle.
We’re learning humility and the benefits of developing skills, some level of perfectionism, and the importance of attention to detail. It’s a time of down-to-earth practicality when we prefer to invest our time and energy in things with realistic potential. We’re not inclined to ambition or “going big.” Attracting prosperity involves honest, careful, and attentive work and dedication.
Mercury is in Libra from August 25-September 23. [Later, Mercury turns retrograde, returns to Virgo, turns direct, then transits Libra again from October 10-29.] When Mercury is in Libra, we are diplomatic and friendly. During this cycle, we bring a more rational approach to one-to-one relationships. It’s a good time to think about ways to improve our negotiation skills.
Mercury in Libra can be vacillating energy as we attempt to see both sides of any given situation. Making quick decisions can be more challenging than usual, as we can sit “on the fence.” We may too easily accommodate others’ opinions to keep the peace. In our negotiations, we don’t want to assert ourselves so as to appear to be the “bad guy.” However, this is a reasonable period for considering others’ points of view. We are more inclined to arrive at fair conclusions.
Venus is in Leo from August 11-September 5. Love is magnificent and grand while Venus is in Leo. We take pride in love, and we are generous with our money as well. This is a warmhearted, teasing, expressive, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. Love is a bit of a game–a game that is perpetual, as Venus in Leo is forever stuck in the romance stage of a relationship. We feed on attention, acknowledgement, validation, and adoration.
Venus in Leo loves to be adored, pampered, and admired. Pride and passion are hallmarks of this cycle. We have a strong ego investment in our love lives during this period. The negative expression of this placement is overstating our feelings simply for the effect, as well as extravagance.
The Venus-in-Leo cycle can be a strong or profitable time for contests, lotteries, parties, recreation, drama, adornment, jewelry, costumes, art dealing, and all things golden. Generosity and warmth contribute to our ability to draw in the right resources. We can have a compelling desire to stand out, be remarkable, and feel special during this period.
Mars is in Gemini from August 20, 2022-March 25, 2023. [This is much longer than usual due to a Mars retrograde cycle from October 30, 2022-January 12, 2023.]
In Gemini, Mars is versatile and flexible but not especially determined or focused. We should watch for becoming so scattered that we’re ineffective. However, it’s an excellent period for diversifying our interests and understanding the power of our communications.
It’s an excellent time for strategizing and devising useful tactics to achieve our desires and goals. We’re resourceful and clever, and we know how to use words effectively.
Perhaps most notable during this period is our tactical skills. We know how to maneuver things to get our way. We use words to charm and express anger. We’re very talkative, and animatedly so, when passionate and enthusiastic about a topic.
Jupiter is in Aries.
Jupiter is in Aries from May 10 to October 28, 2022. This is part one of two, with the second and final part occurring from December 20, 2022, to May 16, 2023. Read more about Jupiter’s transit of Aries.
Jupiter will head back into Pisces from October 28 to December 20, 2022–the final part of three in the Jupiter-in-Pisces transit. Read more about the Jupiter in Pisces transit.
Saturn transits Aquarius from March 21 to July 1, 2020, and from December 17th, 2020, until March 7, 2023. Read about Saturn’s transit of Aquarius.
Uranus is in Taurus.
Uranus transits Taurus from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, and then from March 6th, 2019, until 2025/6. We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Above all, we’re challenging what we previously valued during this cycle.
There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. In general, we’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money, are likely. Our income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.
Romance & Relationships
Venus is in Leo from August 11-September 5. Love is magnificent and grand! We take pride in love, and we are generous with our money as well. This is a warmhearted, teasing, expressive, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. Love is a bit of a game–a game that is perpetual, as Venus in Leo is forever stuck in the romance stage of a relationship. We feed on attention, acknowledgement, validation, and adoration.
Venus in Leo loves to be adored, pampered, and admired. Pride and passion are hallmarks of this cycle. We have a strong ego investment in our love lives during this period. The negative expression of this placement is overstating our feelings simply for the effect, as well as extravagance.
This week: On Sunday, the 28th, there can be a need to be mature in love. We assess our relationships from a practical standpoint, and we can feel inhibited when it comes to expressing our feelings. This can be a time when May-December romances are prominent. We can also be especially sensitive to rejection.
On Wednesday to Friday, there can be some awkward energy in our interactions. We’re seeking special meaning through our connections, which makes us a little more vulnerable to influence. We might doubt someone in our lives, or happiness, in general! Issues of power and control can arise, but they can be hard to discern. Unreasonable or irrational fears of loss, or jealousy, could also emerge.
Venus, the Goddess of Love: Highlights in the Coming Week:
Venus in Leo Romance becomes an end in itself as a new cycle begins for you. It marks a time when love, creativity, and self-expression satisfy a deep yearning to be appreciated and admired – needed, even. A flashy, flirty, stylish splash of color and warmth.
Venus square Uranus August 26-27. We might have to deal with issues of freedom versus intimacy during this period. Peculiar or impulsive attractions are exciting, but unlikely to last very long. Treat them as passing fancies, and enjoy them while they last–but try to hold off on making any big decisions with regards to love today.
Venus contra-parallel Saturn August 27. We may express our affection sparingly, but also responsibly and in practical ways. Relationships begun under this influence often feel burdensome over time, but they may last longer than most. Some pulling back can occur in relationships now, as we are more self-conscious and cautious with our affections.
Venus opposition Saturn August 27-28. We keep others at arm’s length, unsure of whether we are loved or not. This is a somewhat inhibiting influence when it appears that people value utility over true love. An element of seriousness permeates our love relationships. We may feel criticized and inhibited, unloved and unsatisfied, but our worst enemies may be ourselves and our own fears of getting close to others.
Venus sesquiquadrate Jupiter August 29. We experience a strong desire for more pleasure in our lives, which can be excessive. Take care not to overstate your feelings or to set up unrealistic expectations in your partnerships.
Venus quincunx Neptune August 31. Idealism and disappointments in love. Avoid becoming blinded by what you want to see, rather than what really is. Doubts about love.
Venus quincunx Pluto September 1-2. This is a time of adjustments and re-assessments in our close personal relationships and/or with regards to our social lives. Issues of power and control can arise. Unreasonable or irrational fears of loss, or jealousy, could also emerge.
Venus sesquiquadrate Chiron September 5. Love cannot be forced. This is not a commitment-friendly transit, as we may feel alienated for no apparent reason and unwilling to give of ourselves.
Venus quincunx Jupiter September 9. A strong desire for the pleasures of life is with us now, although our eyes are often bigger than our stomachs. Troubles in relationships now are likely due to overblown expectations. It can be challenging to find a balance between responsibilities and the desire for self-gratification.
When the Moon is in Libra
Creating order is the focus, not necessarily through tidying or organizing as was the case while the Moon was in Virgo, but rather through pleasing interactions with others and aesthetics in our environment. We tend to solve problems through diplomacy, and we are more able to put aside our own emotions in order to achieve the peace we crave. The tendency now is to avoid direct confrontations. Decisions do not come easily. Seeing both sides to any given situation is the main reason for hesitation. Fear of losing others' approval is another.
The Moon in Libra generally favors the following activities: Relationship and partnership issues, activities involving teamwork and cooperation, activities that involve self-examination, activities related to beauty.
When the Moon is in Scorpio
Intensity is what the Moon in Scorpio is all about. Whether it's passion, elation, sorrow, or desire, emotions are felt on a deeply personal level. We are motivated by the desire to get to the bottom of things, and we instinctively read between the lines. Superficiality won't work for us now. The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power, and it's an excellent time to rid ourselves of old fears and limiting habits. It can be an intimate and passionate time. Avoid manipulative tactics, brooding, and suspiciousness.
The Moon in Scorpio generally favors the following activities: Taxes, accounting, intimacy issues, psychological examinations, research, self-examination, getting rid of old things.
When the Moon is in Sagittarius
The Moon is at her most optimistic and upbeat in Sagittarius. We are motivated by a need to seek the truth, and we are ready to pursue a new vision. We are not interested in details just now. Instead, we focus on the big picture. New experiences and adventures satisfy a deep emotional need. Spontaneity is the key. We may also be inclined toward overdoing and overstating. We don't want to plan ahead, and prefer to "wing it".
The Moon in Sagittarius generally favors the following activities: Adventurous activities that involve "winging it", travel, higher education, starting publishing projects, advertising, sports, physical activity.

August 2022:
September 2022:
Venus opposition Saturn. We keep others at arm’s length, unsure of whether we are loved or not. This is a somewhat inhibiting influence when it appears that people value utility over true love. An element of seriousness permeates our love relationships. We may feel criticized and inhibited, unloved and unsatisfied, but our worst enemies may be ourselves and our own fears of getting close to others. Not a good influence for financial endeavors. Burdens are magnified.
Venus sesquiquadrate Jupiter. We might take great strides to get noticed. Avoid impulsive buying. Problems in our personal life likely won’t get resolved under this influence. Avoid hasty (or haughty!) decisions. We might overstate our feelings or promise more than we can deliver, and the tendency to overdo is strong.
Mercury sesquiquadrate Uranus. We can have flashes of insight, but tend to be scatterbrained. Our ideas and communications may not be well-received because they don’t seem to others to carry weight. Our minds are not peaceful or harmonious under this influence, and irritable tempers, sarcastic speech, and dogmatism are negative expressions of this energy. However, fresh and creative ideas may come to us now.
Sun inconjunct (quincunx) Jupiter. The desire to experience something new or for more freedom to explore can amount to restlessness if we don’t know what it is we want. This is a time of adjustments, and perhaps of letting go of old habits, so that we can free ourselves up for different experiences.
Venus quincunx Neptune. Under this influence, we are apt to see what we want to see, rather than what actually is, when it comes to both financial affairs and affairs of the heart. Still, we tend to doubt our perceptions of perfection. The end result is a feeling of insecurity on romantic and social levels. Avoid making large purchases and commitments at this time.
Mercury sesquiquadrate Saturn. Red tape, re-doing tasks you thought you finished, problems getting from point A to point B, delays in communication, negative thinking, hyper-sensitivity and criticism.
Mars sextile Jupiter. Decisive action comes naturally now. We possess willpower, verve, and energy that we can direct toward achieving our goals. Success in contracts, negotiations, and business deals comes easily. We want to branch out and take on more challenges. A good time for making new goals or to initiate new projects (all things equal). Optimism and enthusiasm; adventurous spirit. Positive attitudes create winning situations now. A spirit of friendly competition prevails, as well as the desire to take beneficial action.
Venus quincunx Pluto. This is a time of adjustments and re-assessments in our close personal relationships and/or with regards to our social lives. Issues of power and control can arise. Unreasonable or irrational fears of loss, or jealousy, could also emerge.
Mercury opposition Jupiter. In an attempt to attach greater meaning to our thoughts and ideas, we may exaggerate, overstate, or overestimate. We strive to find both meaning and purpose to our lives. However, it is all too easy to miss or neglect important details. Our ideas and plans may be too grandiose just now. Lack of clear mental focus, but we may make measurable progress if we can focus.
Sun sesquiquadrate Pluto. A tendency to want to control our lives through some form of manipulation is strong during this influence. Meeting with obstacles in our paths, however, can force us into the position of using all of our resources to fight back, and we can discover resources we never knew we had in the process.
Sun in Virgo You’re coming into a new cycle centered on taking what you know and what you’ve got and then making the most of it in the real world. Assimilating information and experience, learning lessons and putting them into practice – that’s the focus as this cycle unfolds. It’s a time for prudence and stewardship, a time to tend to the details. You probably already have the grand ideals and visions: now you must get your hands dirty with the bricks and mortar and your mind busy with putting it all together.
Mercury in Libra A new cycle begins for you, signaling a greater than usual interest in relationships, social connections, and the arts – on a more intellectual level than in the past, most likely. Seeing both sides of an issue, and figuring out resolutions to opposing views: these things take on more importance in your life.
Venus in Leo Romance becomes an end in itself as a new cycle begins for you. It marks a time when love, creativity, and self-expression satisfy a deep yearning to be appreciated and admired – needed, even. A flashy, flirty, stylish splash of color and warmth.
Mars in Gemini Learning, communicating, the exchange of ideas: these are the experiences you crave as a means to make your mark now, as a new phase begins in your life. You’re a person with something to say, and you realize that others have information that is essential to your goals. A time of much mental energy and initiative … perhaps with an element of conflict tossed in for good measure.
Jupiter in Aries Faith in yourself and your future is emphasized as you begin this new cycle. A feeling that anything is possible leads to new ventures, a clean break from the past. At its best, this is a very positive and optimistic new cycle in your life, but at times, overconfidence can border on foolhardy bravery. Don’t burn your bridges behind you!
Saturn in Aquarius Ideals are in for a period of testing, as a new phase begins in your life. What are principles worth, unless they are put into practice? That’s an important question for you now. This could mean you may be disappointed by causes you believe in – but if you abandon your principles, you lose.
Uranus in Taurus Practicality and ingenuity combine as powerful drives in your life now that you have begun a new cycle. Taking innovative concepts and making them real and practical is your strong suit; getting stuck in the mud is to be avoided at all costs. Financial savvy, inventiveness, worldly genius.
Neptune in Pisces Things spiritual and psychic take the driver’s seat of your imagination as you begin a new cycle. The fine arts and all manner of fantasies assume a larger-than-life importance. Surrendering to fate, karma, and other powers greater than merely mortal may be seen as the ultimate liberation. If all is Maya (illusion), what is the reality that gives rise to the world of appearances?
Pluto in Capricorn As this new phase dawns for you, the pursuit of social/political power and status has a way of seeming necessary and inevitable – and let nothing stand in its way. It starts out small but has bigger consequences than you’d think. Ambition, responsibility, a place for everyone, and everyone in their place…

An emotionally difficult time. There is increased jealousy, greediness, envy and other negative feelings. The colours of the world turn black and white. Sexuality and sensuality go up and strong, powerful emotions run high, whilst diplomacy and tact will noticeably decline. However, it is a good time for any occupation which needs intensity and total devotion.

Lunar Mansion 17, Al-Iklil (The Dome of the Head)
25° 42' 51'' Libra – 8° 34' 17'' Scorpio
Good For
Financial security. Friendship. Love and marriage. Building. Promotion. Healing. Cutting hair.
Not Good For
Traveling. Risky commercial operations.
Essence
Prevented loss. Friendship.
Opinions
Warnock: When this Mansion appears, it is generally a positive indication in financial questions. We may be in fear of loss, but Al-Iklil reassures us that we are, in fact, in a position of safety and security. It also signals to us that the period of amassing wealth is past, and now is the time for assessment and the safe guarding of what we have accrued.
Warnock: Al-Iklil might also alert us to the possibility of impending loss, which can however, with prudence, be avoided.
Warnock: Make images ... to make buildings firm and stable, to make safe travel by water. And everyone agrees that you should create friendship with a friend when the Moon is in this Mansion so that the friendship will be durable and never destroyed, and for that reason make in this mansion all images for love to last.
Warnock: The talisman of Al-Iklil is "in order that thieves may not enter into the house and plunder it".
Volguine: Favourable for marriage. It enables the native to achieve a responsible position.
Volguine: Warns the native to be on guard throughout life, since slander is always threatened. Very often warns that a greater part of the native's actions will be severely criticised by certain persons in his circle.
Volguine: A sign of success in occupations and acquisition of a good position.
Agrippa: It betters a bad fortune, makes love durable, strengthens buildings, and helps seamen.
Ashmole 396: When the Moon is in this Mansion, buy sheep and beasts and put them to pasture. Wear new clothes. Besiege towns. Wed no maiden. Build and it shall last well. And if you enter into a ship, you shall have anger and sorrow, but you shall escape. Make love days. Take no new fellowship. Receive medicines. Shear not your hair. Buy no servants.
Lunar Day 5
The Vedic tradition considers this day to be the best for any the actions intended to bring benefits, and also excellent for beginning any enterprise. The European tradition states the opposite: the day is inauspicious, bringing losses and dangerous illnesses.
Vronsky:
The fifth day is unhappy — whatever is lost, is lost forever. A fatal day for criminals: any their action will be discovered and punished. A child born on this day will not live long without an outside help. Illnesses are fatal.
Globa:
The symbol is Unicorn which means, among other things, truthfulness to one's principles and duty. In this lunar day that symbolizes the beginning of assimilation and transformation of food, one should pay much attention to the food. Food of animal origin is counter-indicated, it is better to give preference to milk and cheese.
It would be good to make a trip to somewhere, to gather and dry herbs, to make a tincture, to part with tears with something you don't need. One should not fuss or fast.

LE TRIANGLE DE L 'ETE
En juillet-août, c’est la période des douces soirées qui s’éternisent jusque vers 23 h avant que la nuit ne tombe. C’est aussi la période des vacances, du temps libre… Peut-être l’occasion de prendre ce temps qui nous manque le reste de l’année pour enfin contempler à l’envi ce beau ciel étoilé qui nous tend les bras les autres mois de l’année, mais que nous négligeons soit par manque de temps soit parce qu’il fait trop froid.
Le ciel urbain et sa pollution lumineuse n’étant guère synonymes de ciel étoilé, c’est sous un beau ciel de campagne que l’on fera les plus belles observations du ciel d’été (idem tout le reste de l’année au demeurant…).
Point n’est besoin d’être équipé d’un instrument puissant pour découvrir et savourer la voûte céleste estivale. Au contraire serions-nous tentés d’écrire, tant cette découverte simplement à l’œil nu ou avec des jumelles se révèle plaisante et instructive.
Démarrons donc cette observation à l’œil nu. Sortons vers minuit, car vers 23 h, en France métropolitaine, du fait de la proximité du solstice d’été, il ne fait pas nuit. Allons dans une pâture offrant un ciel bien dégagé sur les quatre horizons. Placés face à l’est, si nous levons la tête, nous voyons presque au zénith une belle étoile blanc-bleuté. Il s’agit de Véga de la petite constellation de la Lyre. Si nous élargissons notre champ de vision, nous apercevons à l’est de Véga, une belle étoile bleue, un peu moins brillante que cette dernière : il s’agit de Deneb, l’étoile la plus brillante de la constellation du Cygne. Enfin, si nous portons notre regard plus au sud, nous apercevons une nouvelle étoile légèrement bleutée. Il s’agit d’Altaïr, l’étoile la plus brillante de la constellation de l’Aigle.
Si l’on relie ces 3 étoiles, on obtient un gigantesque triangle, dénommé le « triangle d’été ».
Ce triangle d’été est visible dans le ciel de mai à novembre, mais c’est pendant les trois mois d’été qu’il est visible toute la nuit. Outre sa beauté majestueuse, le grand triangle d’été offre une aide précieuse pour localiser la Voie lactée ; si le ciel est noir et sans Lune, on remarque en effet que le Cygne ainsi que l’Aigle baignent dans la douce lueur d’une arche faiblement lumineuse qui part de l’horizon nord-est, passe non loin du zénith puis va rejoindre le point cardinal sud : c’est la Voie lactée, qui correspond à la vue intérieure de notre galaxie. Cette faible lueur est constituée par la somme des milliards d’étoiles concentrées dans le disque de notre galaxie spirale, étoiles situées trop loin pour pouvoir être distinguées individuellement. Assimiler que cette grande arche lumineuse vue à l’œil nu est notre galaxie vue de l’intérieur accroît le plaisir d’observer, car il permet de nous approprier et de mieux appréhender l’espace qui nous entoure.
Si le regard porte vers la gauche, soit vers le nord-est, on découvre en pleine Voie lactée un joli groupe de cinq étoiles dessinant une lettre W : il s’agit de la constellation de Cassiopée. Après avoir promené son regard dans les parties les plus hautes et les plus brillantes de la Voie lactée, on peut descendre ensuite vers le sud, vers les régions centrales de notre galaxie. Lorsque le regard s’arrête là où la Voie lactée est la plus large et la plus brillante, nous regardons, dans la constellation du Sagittaire, le centre de notre « univers-île », comme l’appelait le philosophe allemand Emmanuel Kant. La morphologie des galaxies spirales ressemble assez à celle d’un œuf sur le plat. Le Soleil et la Terre sont situés dans le blanc d’œuf au 3/5e du rayon galactique. En regardant dans la direction du Sagittaire, nous regardons vers le jaune d’œuf, soit vers le bulbe central de la Galaxie. Cette région est si riche que, malgré la faible puissance de l’œil, on remarque que la Voie lactée est plus large et qu’elle offre des zones parfois plus brillantes (régions densément peuplées) ou sombres (bandes de poussières).
L’observation à l’œil nu se fera debout ou, mieux encore, sur un transat. On pourra judicieusement s’aider d’une carte tournante et d’une lumière rouge, ou plus efficace, d’une appli sur smartphone, pour découvrir les constellations « baignées » par la Voie lactée ou dans sa périphérie. Après avoir passé 15 ou 20 minutes à cette observation visuelle, on pourra prolonger cette balade céleste par la même promenade, mais au travers de jumelles. Pour celui qui fait cette observation pour la première fois, l’expérience peut être déroutante tant les champs, bien connus à l’œil nu, sont autrement plus riches dans des jumelles ! On accède alors à un ciel plus densément peuplé, montrant des étoiles colorées, et parsemé de-ci de-là de nombreuses taches floues, autant d’éléments auparavant inaccessibles à l’œil nu. Dès lors, la même promenade dans la Voie lactée, mais avec une des jumelles est la garantie de belles découvertes. De Cassiopée au Sagittaire, les taches floues sont innombrables : amas d’étoiles ouverts ou globulaires, nébuleuses diffuses, voir même amas ouverts au sein de nébuleuses, les observations seront nombreuses et variées. Si l’on veut connaître et être capable de mettre un nom sur les objets, l’usage d’un atlas papier ou d’une appli smartphone sera nécessaire. En descendant vers le Sagittaire depuis l’Aigle, on découvrira M11 un bel amas ouvert dans l’Écu de Sobieski, M16 dans le Serpent, puis M17, M20, M8 dans le Sagittaire, ces quatre derniers objets étant des nébuleuses diffuses.
Mais on notera aussi parfois de minuscules billes brillantes, comme M22 et M55 dans le Sagittaire ou M80 et M4 dans la constellation voisine du Scorpion : il s’agit d’amas globulaires, des amas sphériques très vieux et pouvant contenir des centaines de milliers d’étoiles.

La Lune
La Lune tourne autour de notre planète tout en tournant autour de son axe en approximativement 28 jours : on ne voit donc toujours que la même face de la Lune.
Au cours de sa rotation autour de la Terre, la Lune présente plusieurs phases en fonction de sa position par rapport au Soleil : le premier quartier, la pleine lune,
le dernier quartier et la nouvelle lune. Le retour à une même phase se fait en moyenne tous les 29,53 jours :
cette durée de révolution s’appelle la lunaison moyenne ou révolution synodique moyenne de la Lune. En raison des perturbations, la lunaison vraie entre deux phases identiques
peut varier dans un intervalle de plus ou moins sept heures par rapport à cette valeur moyenne.
CONNAISSANCE DES TEMPS, ÉPHÉMÉRIDES ASTRONOMIQUES
Cet ouvrage d’éphémérides est destiné aux astronomes, aux enseignants et aux étudiants.
Le cœur de cet ouvrage présente, pour l’année en cours, les éphémérides tabulées du Temps sidéral, des variables liées aux nouveaux paradigmes de l’Union astronomique internationale sur les systèmes de référence et les coordonnées du Soleil, de la Lune et des planètes, de Pluton, Cérès, Pallas, Junon et Vesta ; il fournit également les quantités nécessaires au calcul des positions des satellites de Mars, des satellites galiléens de Jupiter, des huit premiers satellites de Saturne et des cinq principaux satellites d’Uranus.
Un chapitre explicatif fournit les informations théoriques permettant de faire les calculs par soi-même ou d’utiliser le logiciel accompagnant l’ouvrage.
Ce volume est le 344e d’une éphéméride créée en 1679 qui a paru sans interruption depuis sa création. Ancienne par sa conception, mais toujours moderne dans sa réalisation, la version actuelle s’appuie sur une partie des récents développements méthodologiques menés à l’IMCCE.

OU LES QUATRE LIVRES DES JUGEMENTS DES ASTRES
TRADUIT PAR NICOLAS BOURDIN
De Ptolémée (né vers 90 après J.-C. à Ptolémaïs d’Hermias, dans la Thébaïde d’Égypte, mort à Canope vers 170), on ne retient souvent que le système astronomique qui fait de la Terre le centre de l’Univers. Et pourtant, cinq siècles avant lui, Aristarque de Samos avait émis l’hypothèse que la terre tournait sur elle-même autour du soleil.
Mais Ptolémée est d’abord un mathématicien. Les pages de sa Syntaxe mathématique, plus connue sous le nom d’Almageste (Le grand traité), reprennent partie les données et observations d’un autre astronome alexandrin, Hipparque de Nicée. Dans son Traité d’astrologie, Claude Ptolémée nous transmet le résultat de plus de sept siècles de science grecque.
Le Tetrabiblos fut l’ouvrage le plus célèbre de l’Antiquité. Il exerça et exerce encore une grande influence dans l’étude des corps célestes de la sphère sublunaire.

When do retrogrades occur, and in what sign? The following tables and images show the planets and bodies (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) and their astrological retrograde cycles by date and sign, from retrograde to direct.
A station is defined from the point of view of the Earth; it is the point when a planet appears to stop moving in the sky. The planet then appears to move slowly in the opposite direction; at this point, the planet is considered Stationary Retrograde. Similarly, once the planet makes a Station (stops) and begins to go forward again, this is called Stationary Direct.
The following shows current and upcoming Retrograde cycles of the planets. Note that the Sun and the Moon never retrograde. Dates given reveal not only the Retrograde periods, but also the Retrograde zones or shadows.

Purification et rechargement des pierres
Les pierres, et tout particulièrement celles contenant des cristaux, ont besoin d’être soignées et entretenues. Les cristaux sont chargés d’énergies qui peuvent être positives ou négatives. Pour cette raison, il est important de nettoyer ou purifier les pierres que vous venez d’obtenir et ensuite les recharger d’une énergie qui leur sera propre.
De même, après une certaine période d’utilisation variable selon la pierre et son usage, vous devrez la purifier et la recharger. Les cristaux se comportent un peu comme une éponge qui absorbe les énergies négatives et qui pourrait les restituer si vous ne la nettoyez pas.
Faites attention à la purification et au rechargement que vous utilisez, vous risqueriez de détériorer votre pierre si la méthode choisie n’est pas la bonne. Vous trouverez plus loin un tableau, vous permettant de connaitre la méthode la plus appropriée à votre pierre.
Certaines pierres non cristallines n’ont pas besoin de cette procédure, un simple entretien avec un chiffon doux suffira à redonner tout son éclat à la pierre (ambre par exemple).
Méthodes de purifications
Purification par le sel
- Contact direct avec le sel : Plonger la pierre dans le sel pendant une heure au maximum, la rincer abondement à l’eau de source et l’essuyer pour finir. Cette pratique est à utiliser avec précaution pour les quelques pierres qui supportent le sel. Le gros sel naturel et cristallisé (sel de Guérande ou de l’Himalaya) est à privilégier. A utiliser pour des pierres lourdement chargées
- Contact indirect avec le sel : Insérer la pierre dans un sachet de matière naturelle (cuir, papier, coton, lin, éviter la soie qui peut être électrostatique). Plonger ce sachet dans le sel en évitant tout contact direct entre le sel et la pierre. Après 1 à 3 heures dans le sel, sortir la pierre du sachet puis, par sécurité, la rincer sous l’eau de source et l’essuyer.
Purification par l’eau salée
- Utiliser une eau salée (environ une cuillère à soupe de sel par litre d’eau) dans laquelle vous plongez la pierre. Si la pierre est peu utilisée ou souvent nettoyée la laisser quelques minutes seulement mais si la pierre nécessite une importante purification vous pouvez la laisser de 1 à 3 heures. La rincer longuement à l’eau de source après et l’essuyer. Veillez à n’utiliser cette méthode que pour les pierres qui supportent le sel. En absence d’eau de source et de sel, vous pouvez utiliser du sérum physiologique.
Purification par fumigation
- Pour les pierres ne nécessitant pas une importante purification, vous pouvez la purifier en la laissant dans la fumée d’encens ou de bois de santal. N’utiliser que des encens naturels (Nag Champa par exemple).
Purification par enfouissement
- L’enfouissement est une technique de purification intéressante mais plus longue. La pierre retourne à son milieu naturel. Vous devez la laisser enfouie sous terre pendant plusieurs heures, jours, semaines ou mois. Après son séjour sous la terre, vous devrez bien la laver pour lui redonner son éclat. Assurez-vous de pouvoir retrouver la pierre si vous la laissez enfouie un temps assez long. Évitez aussi les sols trop humides ou pollués.
Purification par l’eau
- Si vous avez la chance d’être à proximité d’une source ou d’un cours d’eau, vous pouvez y abandonner votre pierre pendant quelques heures ou jours pour la purifier. L’eau devra être une eau courante et non polluée.
Purification par le son
- Si vous avez la chance d’être à proximité d’une source musicale , vous pouvez y abandonner votre pierre pendant quelques heures pour la purifier. L’onde courante.
Méthode de rechargement
Rechargement par les éléments naturels (eau, lumière, terre et feu, air)
- Rechargement à la lumière : Le rechargement le plus courant est l’exposition à la lumière du soleil ou de la lune. Certaines pierres, comme l’améthyste peuvent perdre leur couleur avec une exposition trop forte au soleil. En cas de doute privilégier l’exposition à la lune. Pour la lumière du soleil, il est préférable d’exposer à la lumière matinale. Eviter le plein soleil de la journée.
- Rechargement à l’eau et à la terre: identique à la purification par l’eau ou par l’enfouissement
- Rechargement par le feu : Vous pouvez approcher la pierre d’un feu de cheminée par exemple mais attention à la chaleur excessive qui pourrait endommager votre pierre. Ce rechargement est utilisé pour des pierres ne nécessitant qu’un faible rechargement.
Rechargement sur amas de cristaux
- Ce rechargement est très efficace si vous avez une belle géode ou un bel amas cristallin. Déposez votre pierre sur l’amas ou à l’intérieur de la géode et la laisser une nuit entière. Votre pierre retrouvera toute son énergie. La géode d’améthyste ou de cristal de roche est particulièrement conseillée.
Précautions sur la lithothérapie

Hommages de l'Ouest alors que Gorbatchev meurt à 91 ans
31 août 2022
Mikhaïl Gorbatchev était le dernier dirigeant soviétique
Moscou (AFP) - La mort de Mikhaïl Gorbatchev a déclenché mercredi une vague d'hommages de la part des dirigeants occidentaux, mais la réaction a été mitigée en Russie, où beaucoup ont accusé le dernier dirigeant soviétique d'avoir perdu le statut du pays en tant que superpuissance mondiale.
Gorbatchev, qui a changé le cours de l'histoire en déclenchant la chute de l'Union soviétique et qui a été l'une des grandes figures du XXe siècle, est décédé mardi à l'âge de 91 ans.
L'agence de presse russe a rapporté qu'il était décédé dans un hôpital du centre de Moscou "après une longue et grave maladie" et que ses funérailles auraient lieu samedi dans la capitale.
Sa vie a été l'une des plus influentes de son époque, et ses réformes en tant que dirigeant soviétique ont transformé son pays et ont permis à l'Europe de l'Est de se libérer de la domination soviétique.
Alors que les changements qu'il a mis en œuvre le voyaient adulé en Occident, ils lui ont valu le mépris de nombreux Russes après que le pays a été plongé dans le chaos économique et a vu son influence internationale décliner.
Le président Vladimir Poutine (à droite) a passé une grande partie de son règne à inverser certaines parties de l'héritage de Mikhaïl Gorbatchev
Le président Vladimir Poutine, qui a qualifié l'effondrement soviétique de la plus grande catastrophe géopolitique du XXe siècle, a passé une grande partie de son règne de plus de 20 ans à inverser certaines parties de l'héritage de Gorbatchev.
En réprimant les médias indépendants et l'opposition politique, disent les critiques, Poutine a travaillé pour défaire les efforts de Gorbatchev pour apporter la « glasnost », ou l'ouverture, au système soviétique.
Et avec le lancement plus tôt cette année d'une campagne militaire en Ukraine, il a cherché à réaffirmer l'influence russe dans l'un des pays qui a obtenu son indépendance lorsque l'Union soviétique s'est effondrée.
- Funérailles samedi -
Dans une lettre de condoléances publiée par le Kremlin, Poutine a déclaré que Gorbatchev "était un homme politique et un homme d'État qui a eu un impact énorme sur le cours de l'histoire mondiale".
D'autres hauts responsables russes ont également décrit Gorbatchev comme un personnage important, mais ont peu parlé de ses réalisations politiques.
Lors d'une réunion télévisée d'une heure entre Poutine et son cabinet mercredi, le nom de Gorbatchev n'a pas été évoqué.
Sa fille Irina et sa fondation ont déclaré aux agences de presse qu'un service commémoratif public aurait lieu le 3 septembre dans la salle des colonnes de Moscou, historiquement utilisée pour les funérailles de hauts fonctionnaires, dont Joseph Staline en 1953.
Dirigeants soviétiques, russes et américains
Gorbatchev sera ensuite inhumé au prestigieux cimetière de Novodievitchi aux côtés de sa femme Raisa, décédée en 1999.
Les responsables russes n'avaient pas encore dit si Gorbatchev aurait des funérailles d'État comme les précédents dirigeants soviétiques ou si Poutine serait présent.
Dans les rues de Moscou, beaucoup ont refusé de commenter la mort de Gorbatchev, un jeune russe lui demandant même qui il était.
Ceux qui étaient prêts à discuter de son héritage, principalement des retraités qui se souvenaient avec tendresse de l'ère soviétique, étaient extrêmement négatifs.
"C'était une sorte de politicien analphabète, qui a laissé un si grand pays s'effondrer. Et tout ce qu'il a pu faire de bien est barré par là », a déclaré Vladimir Zavkov, 70 ans, alors qu'il se promenait près de la Place Rouge.
"Donc pour moi, il n'est qu'un traître."
- 'Homme de paix' -
Mais en Occident, où Gorbatchev était considéré affectueusement et affectueusement comme Gorby, il était salué comme une figure emblématique.
Le président américain Joe Biden a crédité Gorbatchev d'avoir créé "un monde plus sûr et une plus grande liberté pour des millions de personnes".
Le Premier ministre britannique Boris Johnson a déclaré que "l'engagement inlassable de Gorbatchev en faveur de l'ouverture de la société soviétique reste un exemple pour nous tous", tandis que le chef de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres, l'a qualifié d'"homme d'État unique en son genre".
L'ancienne chancelière allemande Angela Merkel a rendu hommage à Gorbatchev
Le président français Emmanuel Macron a salué Gorbatchev comme un "homme de paix dont les choix ont ouvert la voie de la liberté aux Russes", et l'ancienne chancelière allemande Angela Merkel a déclaré qu'il avait démontré comment "un seul homme d'État peut changer le monde pour le mieux".
Gorbatchev était surtout connu pour avoir désamorcé les tensions nucléaires américano-soviétiques dans les années 1980 et pour avoir fait sortir l'Europe de l'Est de derrière le rideau de fer.
Il a remporté le prix Nobel de la paix en 1990 pour avoir négocié un pacte historique sur les armes nucléaires avec le dirigeant américain Ronald Reagan, et sa décision de retenir l'armée soviétique lors de la chute du mur de Berlin un an plus tôt était considérée comme essentielle pour préserver la paix de la guerre froide.
Il a également été défendu en Occident pour avoir été le fer de lance des réformes visant à assurer la transparence et une plus grande discussion publique qui ont accéléré l'éclatement de l'empire soviétique.
Il a passé une grande partie des deux dernières décennies à la périphérie politique, appelant par intermittence le Kremlin et la Maison Blanche à réparer les liens alors que les tensions montaient en flèche après que la Russie a annexé la Crimée en 2014 et lancé l'offensive en Ukraine plus tôt cette année.
- L'annexion soutenue de la Crimée -
Gorbatchev avait soutenu l'annexion de la Crimée, affirmant que la plupart des habitants de la péninsule "voulaient être réunis à la Russie".
Il n'a fait aucune déclaration publique sur l'action militaire de la Russie en Ukraine, bien que sa fondation ait appelé à « une cessation rapide (des) hostilités et un démarrage immédiat des négociations de paix ».
Il a passé les dernières années de sa vie dans et hors de l'hôpital avec une santé de plus en plus fragile.
Il est resté un personnage controversé et a eu une relation difficile avec Poutine.
De nombreux Russes regardent encore avec émotion la période soviétique, et Poutine s'appuie sur ses réalisations pour étayer la prétention de la Russie à la grandeur et à son propre prestige.
Lorsque l'URSS s'est effondrée, Gorbatchev a été remplacé par Boris Eltsine, qui est devenu le premier président de la Russie post-soviétique.
Dès lors, Gorbatchev est relégué à l'écart, se consacrant à des projets éducatifs et humanitaires.
- Partisan de la presse libre -
La principale figure de l'opposition russe – le critique du Kremlin emprisonné Alexei Navalny – a fait l'éloge de Gorbatchev dans une série de tweets, soulignant sa volonté de renoncer au pouvoir.
« Il a démissionné pacifiquement et volontairement, en respectant la volonté de ses électeurs. Cela seul est un grand exploit selon les normes de l'ex-URSS », a déclaré Navalny.
L'un des premiers partisans du principal journal indépendant russe Novaya Gazeta, fondé en 1993, Gorbatchev a fait don d'une partie de ses prix Nobel pour l'aider à acheter ses premiers ordinateurs.
Mais le journal a subi une pression croissante sous Poutine et a suspendu sa publication fin mars.
Dans un hommage publié après la mort de Gorbatchev, son rédacteur en chef Dmitry Muratov, qui a remporté l'année dernière le prix Nobel de la paix, l'a salué comme un homme qui "place les droits de l'homme au-dessus de l'État et accorde plus d'importance à un ciel pacifique qu'au pouvoir personnel".
