Testimonial for Celestial Timings
Hi Cayelin, I just wanted to thank you for the potency of the latest timings (this month's and last month's). I am almost stunned with joy over the revelations. On a daily basis, it's often hard to see that any progress or change is happening. But your words help to bring the foundation (or lack of foundation) together in my mind. My tears over the present day worldwide events turn into calm when I realize that
it is simply change happening at a very quick pace. Your words help my own acceptance of these circumstances. Thank you for being a constant voice and vehicle in the movement of this new energy. It really assists in sustaining my own beliefs. Love, Mariana Simpson

Celestial Timings
by Cayelin K Castell
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring,
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
Fellowship of the Ring J.R.R. Tolkien
This prophetic statement from the Fellowship of the Ring fits the energy being activated in this August Eclipse Season. It seems especially true for the August 1 Total Solar Eclipse at 9 Leo illuminating and accelerating the mysteries of the King Queen archetype. Plus Venus, Mercury and the Sun all pass by Regulus, the heart of the Lion and the royal star of the King and Queen, this month. Mercury and Venus pass by Regulus during the time between eclipses in the Cross-Quarter between seasons. The Sun joins with Regulus on August 22. (See Aug 5, 7, 10 and 22 Daily Timings for more).
In a Total Solar Eclipse the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth casting a shadow over the light of the Sun. Night descends into day then after a few moments the light returns as the shadow of the Moon moves off the Sun literally enacting the line from the above verse that says “A light from the shadows shall spring”.
The sword or blade in the next line is a symbol of divine authority, divine kingship and the responsibility that comes with embodying divine power. Working with the imagery of renewing the blade and the light springing from the shadow tells us that perhaps what was broken in the Leo mysteries of the Divine King and Queen was the forgetting that we are all divinely created and we all have the right and responsibility to determine our own life path as the masters of our destiny.
This August 1 Total Solar Eclipse begins a two week Eclipse Window or Cauldron of accelerated transformational change that lasts until the Partial Lunar Eclipse on August 16 suggesting this time is ideal for renewing the blade and reclaiming the crown. (See Aug 1 and 16)
We also have the 08-08-08 Triple Infinity Time Gate. Barbara Wolf’s Global Meditations sent out this announcement about this Timing.
08-08-08 is a magical moment when the entire world will be coming together in thought because of the opening of the Olympics, which, according to ancient tradition is a moment when war stops and athletes compete in an ethical manner. 08 08 08 is a moment when there will be a huge concentration of mass consciousness.

Meteor Showers
Perseids are active from July 17 to Aug 24. The peak is August 12-13 though not so visible due to the waxing gibbous Moon. 
The Perseid meteors appear to stream away from their radiant near the border of Perseus and Cassiopeia. And while you're outside on a dark night, don't forget to look for the Double Cluster and the Andromeda Galaxy, two of the easiest "faint fuzzies" to spot with your unaided eyes. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/8935687.html
Night Sky Highlights
This is one of the best times of year to see the Galactic Cross near Galactic Center located between the constellation of the Archer and the Scorpion.
This is Sky Map of Galactic Cross near Galactic Center Mid-August around 9:30 pm local time. Blue line marks the Galactic Equator. The Green line marks the Ecliptic (path of the planets and the intersection of these two lines is where the December Solstice Sun in now rising.
Visible Planets

- Sun (9 Leo to 8 Virgo) reaches the astrological cross-quarter between the Summer Solstice and the Autumnal Equinox on August 6, 7, and 8. On August 1 there is a total eclipse of the Sun visible in Russia, Mongolia and China
- Mercury (12 Leo to 3 Libra) is within six degrees of Regulus from August 6 to 14 with the exact pass on August 9 and 10. Mercury is so low in the evening twilight it may not be possible to see this conjunction. Mercury will be easier to spot by August 22 still within 1.2 degrees of Venus. Mercury sets just before Venus nearly an hour after Sunset.
- Venus (24 Cancer to 1 Libra) Venus is within six degrees of Regulus from July 30 to August 12 with the exact pass occurring on August 5 and 6. Venus is easier to spot at this time than Mercury and is setting about an hour after Sunset as August ends.
- Mars (18 Virgo to 7 Libra) is now only 1.7 degrees magnitude and much dimmer than Venus, Mercury, Saturn and Regulus though it is still higher in the sky having already passed Regulus last month. Mars is setting just over an hour after Sunset by month’s end near the same time as Mercury and Venus.
- Jupiter (14 Capricorn 40 retrograding back to 12 Capricorn 38) lights up the night sky at -2.5 magnitude still near its maximum brightness this year and is moving back toward the nape of the arrow of the Archer.
- Saturn (8 Virgo to 11 Virgo) is beginning this month having now moved beyond the six degree range of Regulus. Mercury passes Saturn on August 13 and Venus joins with Saturn on August 15 when all three planets Mercury, Venus and Saturn are within less than 3 degrees of each of other. Saturn disappears from view by the end of the month.
