August 1st 2008: The astrological events of this day : a total Solar eclipse and the first day of the New moon in Leo....
we ARE in a time of darkness.
It is a moment of definition....Who are you? What are you made of?
This is a moment that separates the real from the illusion, the strong from the weak, the truth from the lie. http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEmono/TSE2008/TSE2008.html

"Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
And we must rejoice as well, for surely this is the first time in our nation's history that a significant number of its religious leaders have chosen to move beyond the prophesying of smooth patriotism to the high grounds of a firm dissent based upon the mandates of conscience and the reading of history.
Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us.
If it is, let us trace its movement, and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance.
For we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
