NINE OF DIAMOND’S WEEK
Sunday, August 23 – Saturday, August 29
As we enter the 35th week of the year, the collective energy aligns with the Nine of Diamonds, the 35th card in the deck. This week highlights material endings—particularly around things we value—along with what may feel like the close of a familiar economic system. The Nine of Diamonds initiates necessary closure, offering a fresh perspective on what we once held dear and creating space for something more aligned on both personal and collective levels.
On the higher side, expect a spotlight on philanthropic endeavors, earned endings, nobility, and a shift toward greater harmony and fairness. On the lower side, the energy may manifest as disappointment at work, job loss, litigation, divorce, or stingy, clingy behaviors that resist necessary change.
This week is exceptionally charged, featuring a Black Three Stargate on August 23, a Red King Stargate on August 26, a partial lunar eclipse on August 28, and a Red Ten Stargate on August 29. Stargates act like thresholds, mystical junctions, and eclipses, inviting extreme emotional and cerebral experiences and opportunities for spiritual growth. Stargate days are not good to start anything new. It’s best to flow through them with flexibility and openness for change. There are 18 repeating yearly Stargate days, each on the same days.
· The Black Threes (under the Sun) may stir indecision around government, creativity, and accountability in relationships.
· The Red Kings (in Mercury) could bring unusual or unexpected news involving world leaders.
· The Red Tens (in Saturn) point to radical shifts in financial systems, exposing outdated karmic accounting and economic injustices that can no longer be sustained.
The partial lunar eclipse on Friday, August 28, falls on a Venus-ruled day in sidereal Capricorn in the lunar star of Shatabhishak at 10 degrees, igniting the Red Ten Stargate even more. This lunar star carries strong themes of healing, mysticism, scientific inquiry, innovation, and the unveiling of the hidden. Its primary symbol is an empty circle, which represents wholeness achieved through emptiness—the void that must be cleared for true healing and transformation to occur, as well as the infinite cycles of the cosmos and the containment of mysteries.
With sidereal Venus debilitated and Jupiter exalted (the two traditional money planets in extreme positions), this eclipse signals unusual and potentially massive monetary transformations. The day’s card is the Jack of Hearts (reciprocal: Ten of Clubs), evoking the sacrificial lamb, tenacity, and the Trine of Deception. On the higher side, it illuminates concealed injustices and calls us to become the change we wish to see. On the lower side, deception and stubbornness may surface. The Ten of Clubs adds themes of intellect, group collaboration, prestige, and visibility, potentially fueling revolts, protests, and public unrest against impending social and economic changes.
Celestial Remedies
Do not watch the eclipse directly.
Avoid large crowds.
Stay grounded, centered, and positive amid the chaos.
Spend time in Nature and swim in clean bodies of water.
Meditate, speak less, and listen more.
Prioritize rest and sleep; avoid overbooking or excessive busyness.
Consider investing in silver, copper, and gold. Save coins, especially pennies, as their value may rise.
Avoid leftover food, as time compression during eclipses and Stargates causes faster spoilage.
Choose grounding, cooling foods such as cooked sweet potato, carrots, and cucumbers.
Remember who you truly are. Do not feed chaos, delusion, or angry crowds, even if you sympathize. Anger only begets more anger.
This week marks a powerful cycle of endings and transformation. While the energy may feel turbulent, it clears outdated structures, making way for greater fairness, harmony, and alignment. Stay centered in your truth, trust the process of release, and focus on the new possibilities emerging from the closure.
