3rd Lunar Day 
8:35
This Lunar Day is propitious to ambitious and lucrative ventures, commerce, but also dreams, far-fetched ideas or plans.
Waxing Crescent
A good time for long-term partnership and for starting the implementation of far-reaching plans.
Moon in Virgo 
11:57
Suitable energy for general and menial work, in particular jobs that require attention to details and great patience, crafts, knitting, sewing, cooking, mending, cleaning, nursing, volunteering, accounting, studying, researching, testing, purifying, collecting, classifying, putting order into chaos. Purchase of craft materials and tools, collectibles, pets.
Lunar Day 3
Different traditions give contradictory interpretations of this day. The Vedic tradition recommends getting actively involved in an occupation, and Avesta even stresses being aggressive. Yet the European tradition states that the day is inauspicious and nothing important should be undertaken.
Vronsky:
The third day is unfortunate. Do not undertake anything new. Do your daily chores that were started and unfinished, those that are less important, nonessential. A child born on this day will not live long without support from strong beneficial planets. If someone fell ill on this day, he or she will recover with difficulty. Dreams have no significance.
Globa:
Symbol: leopard preparing for a leap. This is a period of active struggle, force and aggression. All passive people are vulnerable during this lunar day as they find themselves under various astral attacks. A person, if he is not a fighter, becomes suspicious and guileful. One should concentrate and use their astral energy for self-protection.
This is the best day for martial arts. On this lunar day, people work with metals, sharpen knives, in ancient times they used to cast silver items on this day.
It is desirable to go to a sauna and sweat. Work with all the energies of the biofield is recommended. One should pay special attention to the region of occiput and ears. If there is some pain in this area, cleaning of bones is necessary. Stones recommended for wearing: ruby, pyrite, aventurine.
Lunar Mansion 14, Al-Simak (The Unarmed)
17° 08' 34'' Virgo – 0° Libra
Good For
Romantic love, friendship. Moving house, leaving a job or a relationship. Healing. Traveling by sea. Gardening.
Not Good For
Marriage. Traveling by land.
Essence
Movement, improvement, transition.
Opinions
Warnock: This Mansion reminds us of the transitory nature of great passion. There is a fine line between love and aversion, such that this mansion may be auspicious for romantic love, but may also signify conflict. This mansion is generally a positive indication if we wish to end a relationship or leave a job. It is also auspicious for moving house.
Warnock: This mansion can signify arguments and disputes. We must be wary of the impulse to fight with those whose temperament is opposite to our own. Al-Simak might also indicate that we need to remove ourselves from an uncomfortable situation that goes against our nature.
Warnock: Make images for the love of man and wife, to heal the sick with physic and medicine ... for the benefit of kings that they have good and ascend to their reign, to sail well and safely, and for the friendship of allies.
Volguine: Increases prudence and the ability to analyse, and at the same time seems to promote divinatory studies and experiments (clairvoyance, tarot, etc.).
Volguine: Does not seem to favour journeys. Also exerts an unfavourable influence on the first years of marriage, but the causes of dissension seem to disappear later; or if the marriage was made without love, sincere and deep affection comes with age.
Volguine: Seems to favour responsibility, serious thought, and the rise to a responsible station nevertheless dependent on others.
Volguine: Believed to favour wisdom in old age; makes person born under its influence very respected and listened to in their last years.
Agrippa: It causes the love of married folk, it cures the sick, it's profitable to sailors, but it hinders journey by land.
Ashmole 396: When the Moon is in this Mansion, wed women but no maiden. Receive medicine. Sow and plant. Take no journey. Put no thing to keep. Buy servants, they shall be true. Enter ships. Take fellowship boldly. If you be seized, you shall soon escape.

Applying Moon Conjunct Mercury
Communications need care and concern now. Feelings and emotions are more easily expressed than usual. It’s a good time for sensitive discussions and meetings with females.
Applying Mercury Trine Uranus
Progressive decisions and agreements are reached now. Strikes, rallies, and protests are successful now. Innovations make news.
Applying Venus Square Jupiter
Things get big, over-inflated, and windy. Obligatory expressions of good feelings and demonstrations of generosity occur now. Meetings, weddings and other obligatory, excessive, and expansive social events may be prominent now.
Applying Mars Opposite Neptune
This is a time when actions, motivations, and initiatives seem questionable and often counter-productive. People tend to be driven more by ideology or belief than by reality. There is name calling, confusion over remarks, and sometimes fires or other disasters.
Applying Jupiter Conjunct Uranus
Unusual and interesting trends get attention during this transit. It’s even possible that a kind of revolution, or at least a liberation of ideas, may occur now. Positive developments, changes, and reversals may be happening in many fields, including religion, sports, law, and transportation. Court rulings made now will be perceived as progressive, if not controversial.
Saturn void in Pisces
Formalities are the rule; traditions are maintained. Groups of old friends, family, and comrades assemble to remember the past. Conservatism rules; experiments fail. At this time leaders are under pressure and laws are put into effect. It’s a time for staying with tradition and not experimenting with new forms of social behaviors. The past triumphs.
Uranus void in Taurus
Actions are unconventional, radical, or surprising. Not everyone agrees on how things should go, therefore there is discord within groups. Others, who have a specific agenda, persevere to make their point despite fierce opposition. Social conditions are volatile now. The bottom could fall out. It’s a time for experimentation and deviant behaviors. Sudden, unusual, and disruptive conditions occur now that reveal deep inequalities in society and culture.
Applying Neptune Sextile Uranus
Social movements that are ideologically driven make news by inciting episodes. Systems and structures collapse or weaken.
Applying Pluto Trine Uranus
This transit suggests a deep social need for reform and change which may come only after a struggle. People are strongly motivated to change attitudes toward traditional values and they will crusade actively for this.

AUGUST 18
AUGUST 19
The Moon is void from 4:51 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Pluto), until the Moon enters Libra at 7:54 AM EDT.
This week: The Sun is in Leo; Mercury is in Virgo; Venus is in Leo; Mars is in Virgo.
The Sun is in Leo from July 22-August 23. In Leo, the Sun is proud, outgoing, and playful. The Leo Sun is intensely individual—not content with simply being just one of the team. It’s time to shine, add a touch of color and drama to our lives, and perform.
We’re blossoming–it’s a time when we want to enjoy ourselves and express ourselves. We are more generous and grand in our gestures and attitudes. On the shadow side, we can also be self-centered and vain.
While the Sun is in Leo, we take the high road, and we’re very often motivated by the idea of gaining respect and affection. We more naturally express joy, humor, and warmth during the Sun-in-Leo cycle. We also tend to take the lead or become the center of attention and activity.
Mercury is in Virgo from July 28-October 4. [This transit is longer than usual due to the retrograde of Mercury in Virgo from August 23rd to September 15th.] When Mercury is in Virgo, precision in speech, thought, and process are more important to us. This is a time when we analyze and decide what is useful and what we deem to be impractical.
Mercury feels right at home in Virgo, one of the signs that it rules (Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo). Dealing with details is natural and easy now. We need to be careful that we don’t lose perspective if we find ourselves lost in details, however.
While Mercury is in Virgo, we should also be aware of the possibility of expressing ourselves in a too factual manner, so much so that we come across as dry, critical, or unimaginative.
We gravitate to useful information, and we can enjoy helping others with our knowledge. It’s a time for analyzing and dissecting, but we need other influences to put the pieces together or to see the bigger picture as our confidence in so doing is not strong at this time. It’s a time of conservative thinking and a strong tendency to want facts and certainties.
Venus is in Leo from June 5-October 8. [This transit is longer than usual due to the retrograde of Venus in Leo from July 22nd to September 3rd.] 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 Virgo from July 10-August 27. In Virgo, Mars is somewhat of a workhorse. We have a passion for details, as well as a need to do the right thing at just the right time under this influence. The satisfaction of a job well done is one of your greatest incentives now. We are more precise and concerned about performance.
We’re more exacting and concerned with correctness and details in our work, output, or efforts. It’s a time of greater caution, skepticism, and discipline. We tend to focus on details and plans, sometimes losing sight of the bigger picture.
There can be a perfectionistic or workaholic streak. We have a greater interest in excelling or mastering a particular skill. Science and health are most appealing. This transit highlights work with details or requiring precision, such as surgery, bookkeeping, crafts, musical instruments, etc. It also spotlights attention to health and nutrition, the healing arts, and a great interest in how things work, techniques, mechanics, and systems.
It can be a time of irritability, tension, or nervousness. Attention to detail and technique is tremendous, although our vision or confidence may suffer if we limit ourselves. There can be competitive or inflamed situations with co-workers, work, routines, or healthcare.
Our standards for ourselves are high during this cycle, and we work hard to be accurate, precise, and efficient.
Jupiter is in Taurus.
Jupiter begins its transit of Taurus on May 16th, 2023, and it will continue its transit of the sign until May 25th, 2024. Read more about Jupiter’s transit of Taurus.
Saturn transits Pisces from March 7th, 2023 until May 24th, 2025, and Sep 1st, 2025, to Feb 13th, 2026. Read about Saturn’s transit of Pisces.
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.
Pluto transitions from Capricorn to Aquarius in 2023 and 2024. Read about Pluto’s transit of Aquarius. Pluto has retrograded back into Capricorn, and is in Capricorn until January 20th, 2024.
Romance & Relationships
Venus is in Leo from June 5-October 8. 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: Venus is retrograde from July 22nd to September 3rd, and things are changing. Venus-ruled endeavors, such as money, beauty, art, romance, and pleasure, become a little heavier, more prone to reassessment, review, and perhaps delay or a period of limbo. This Venus retrograde cycle lasts until September 3rd, and is a period in which we reevaluate or review our love life as well as the manner in which we receive, reveal, and express our affections. Thoughts turn to the past so that we can lay to rest unhealthy habits in these areas of life.
With Venus retrograde in Leo, we may question whether we’re getting the romance, ego boost, or attention we need from our relationships and experiences. Read more about Venus retrograde in Leo from July 22nd to September 3rd, 2023.
On Sunday, the 13th, we see the past in a new light, particularly related to our relationships and pleasures. We can be symbolically in the dark regarding our feelings or relationships as a new cycle begins. This is a time for redefining what we want and need, particularly from relationships but also related to our material affairs and goals. We are infinitely more invested in our ability to harmonize, love, connect, and relate.
By Monday, we’re letting love in. It’s easy to connect with and embrace our feelings and romantic needs–we’re ready to open up and be more vulnerable. On Tuesday, we should watch for skittishness, unreliability, and saying things we don’t mean/feel.
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 8-9. 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 conjunct the Sun August 12-13. Good relating is the focus, although some may find this energy superficial in that surface charm, diplomacy, and harmony is the goal. The pursuit of pleasure is emphasized.
Venus trine Chiron August 13-14. A commitment-friendly transit. Love can heal old wounds. We are open to romantic feelings.
Venus semi-sextile Mercury August 15. It may be all too easy to say things we don’t mean/feel.
Venus square Jupiter August 21-22. 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. As well, take what your partner says with a grain of salt. There is no malicious intent involved, but feelings of elation can cloud our judgment, and we can promise more than we can deliver.
Venus conjunct Sun. We are motivated by the desire to strike a balance in our relationships and in our environment. Smooth negotiations with others. Graciousness, diplomacy, charm, and some superficiality. This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, all things considered.
Venus trine Chiron. We have the chance to heal our personal relationships now, as we are more open to intimacy and commitment, as well as learning from one another. We more easily see beauty in human weaknesses, and are less inclined to see fault, or to concern ourselves with fault. It’s a strong time for building trust in relationships, and for seeing potential in one another.
Saturn semi-square Chiron. There can be fears now of not being competent or effective enough to meet our responsibilities, or we could find it hard to strike out on a unique path, again due to fears or insecurities. The desire to break from the status quo is strong, but we may not have the necessary confidence to do so temporarily.
Mars trine Uranus. Bursts of energy and creativity. We are willing to take risks, possess personal courage, and can readily effect positive changes in our lives. We are naturally bold and assertive, willing to experiment, and conscious of a need to act independently. Our ideas may be ground-breaking, and at the very least progressive. A strong desire to make things happen is with us now.
Mercury quincunx Chiron. Decisions can be hard to come by under this influence, as we tend to doubt our perceptions or the effectiveness of our ability to solve problems. It can be hard to read the intention behind the words used to communicate now, which can lead to misunderstandings.

When the Moon is in Leo
The Moon in Leo speaks to our "inner child". It's a warm, generous, whole-heartedly loving position. Pride keeps us from pettiness, but it can also prevent us from opening up and revealing how we are truly feeling. We are on stage, our feelings are grand, and we appreciate some drama in our lives. We are easily threatened by anything that seems to be impersonal. This is a time when we seek attention--when we want to stand out for our special qualities. It's a strong time for romance and any creative activity as well.
The Moon in Leo generally favors the following activities: Creative activities, activities involving children, generous undertakings, undertakings in which personal recognition is desired, and risk-taking.
When the Moon is in Virgo
We instinctually gravitate towards practical activities under the influence of a Virgo Moon. In an urge to set things right, we might easily find ourselves re-organizing and rethinking plans. Emotional satisfaction comes from solving problems, making order out of confusion, and helping others. Health matters might come into focus. We notice the smaller parts that make up the whole, and instead of letting nagging details bother us, we might work on ironing them out so that we can feel more confident moving ahead.
The Moon in Virgo generally favors the following activities: Mental pursuits, work activities, services, and routines. Activities that would benefit from tending to details.
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.

Jardiner avec la Lune
LES INFLUENCES LUNAIRES
Bien que nous ne réalisions pas toujours son ampleur, la Lune exerce une puissante influence sur la Terre. L’exemple le plus spectaculaire reste le phénomène des marées. Ce sont en effet des milliards de mètres cubes d’eau qui se déplacent quotidiennement sous la seule influence de la Lune. Les scientifiques ont d’ailleurs constaté que le phénomène des marées ne se limitait pas seulement aux masses océaniques mais agissait également sur la croûte terrestre. Celle-ci pouvant s’élever de plusieurs dizaines de centimètres lors de l’effet de marée montant.
Si l’effet semble moins visible, la Lune exerce toutefois une influence sur les êtres vivants également. Les végétaux, les animaux ainsi que les êtres humains sont eux aussi sujets aux rythmes lunaires. Les plantes et les animaux sont les plus sensibles et les plus réceptifs à l’influence des différents cycles lunaires, il est d’ailleurs possible de le vérifier en réalisant des essais comparatifs. L’être humain quant à lui ne se rend pas toujours compte des effets de la Lune sur son quotidien. Notre vie moderne a en effet peu à peu atténué notre sensibilité aux cycles naturels. Mais si nous semblons moins réceptifs aux mouvements lunaires, leur influence reste active et agit également sur de nombreux domaines nous concernant.
LA LUNE AU JARDIN
Tout au long de leur développement, les plantes sont naturellement sujettes aux cycles lunaires et planétaires. Dans le milieu naturel, elles s’accordent spontanément à ces différents cycles qui participent à leur environnement et viennent s’ajouter aux autres éléments essentiels à leur développement.
Dans les milieux recréés que sont nos jardins, le fait que nous décidions où et quand semer une plante fait que nous intervenons dans son processus naturel de développement. Bien que nous ne dénaturions pas réellement ce processus, nous interférons cependant sur le rythme de croissance de la plante. Ce dernier sera naturellement différent du rythme de croissance d’une plante se développant de manière spontanée.
Il est possible de stimuler la croissance d’une plante en prenant en compte les influences lunaires et planétaires lors des principales étapes de son développement (semis, repiquage, entretien). Une graine se développera différemment suivant le type de constellation (Fruits, Racines, Fleurs, Feuilles) lors de laquelle elle est semée. Lors de sa croissance, la plante se polarisera davantage sur la partie en relation avec la constellation. Une salade développera ainsi davantage sa partie foliaire si elle est semée en constellation Feuilles. En revanche, semée en constellation fleur, une salade se focalisera sur la production de semences et montera donc plus rapidement en graines. De même, pour une meilleure production, il préférable de semer les carottes lors d’une constellation Racines, de manière à ce que la plante privilégie cette partie lors de son développement. Dans cette optique, il devient donc intéressant de semer une plante en accord avec le type de constellation devant laquelle passera la Lune au moment du semis.
Mais les types de constellations ne sont pas les seuls facteurs déterminants et d’autres paramètres comme par exemple le cycle de la lune croissante/décroissante, montante/descendante, les nœuds lunaires, le périgée, les aspects planétaires, exercent également une tendance positive ou négative suivant les cas. Il est donc primordial de considérer l’ensemble de tous ces différents éléments et d’en faire la synthèse pour savoir si un moment donné est plus ou moins favorable voire défavorable pour semer une plante.

The NEW MOON occurs on Wednesday, August 16th, 2023, at 5:38 AM EDT.
On Wednesday morning, the New Moon occurs as the Moon and Sun meet in the sign of Leo.
The New Moon in Leo is an excellent time for formulating goals regarding “all things Leo.” For example, we might concentrate on new ways to enhance our romantic life, creative endeavors and hobbies, and relationship with children, as well as build our self-confidence and healthy pride in ourselves.
Some of Leo’s lessons involve taking pride in ourselves as unique individuals, assuming responsibility for our lives, and giving ourselves warmly and generously to others. This New Moon period is an excellent time to meditate upon some of the characteristics of Leo. Keywords for this self-expressive Fire sign — such things as proud, noble, generous, hospitable, caring, warm, authoritative, active, and open — are traits that we might enhance, develop, and incorporate into our personalities.
We all have Leo somewhere in our charts. Seek the coming month to improve those areas of life. It’s time to awaken our “inner child” and find ways to express ourselves creatively. With this potent Leo energy, we can make significant changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. It’s time to make some plans and set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, approximately two weeks after the Full Moon occurs.
This lunation is tightly square Uranus, suggesting surprises, rebellion, and sudden events. Because Venus is still retrograde in the sign of Leo, we’re reevaluating our likes, dislikes, pleasures, and interests, which can inform our choices for new beginnings.
New Moon in Leo Chart: August 16, 2023
This phase of the Moon occurs at 23 degrees and 17 minutes of Leo. This affects planets at approximately 19 to 27 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) the most.
The above chart is helpful for seeing the fundamental energies of this New Moon along with chart patterns. Below, the New Moon chart is presented with additional points for extra details. Click to enlarge:

Les marchands de jade antique de Taïwan voient le commerce perdre de son éclat
18 août 2023
Chang Juben, président de l'Association des collectionneurs de jade de Taïwan, montre un ornement de ceinture de jade de la dynastie Yuan avec une sculpture d'un dragon parmi les nuages
Taipei (AFP) - Retraçant un cochon de jade de la taille d'une paume reposant sur ses hanches, un antiquaire de Taïwan a déclaré que les oreilles de la pièce vieille de près de 400 ans sont un marqueur de son authenticité.
"Les plis dans les oreilles du cochon montrent le travail manuel, l'ancien artisanat" de la dynastie Ming (1368-1644), a déclaré le commerçant de 60 ans, qui n'a donné que son nom de famille Lee.
« Il faut une sculpture très soignée. S'il s'agissait de doublons, ils ne le rendraient pas aussi délicat et détaillé.
La boutique de Lee dans le quartier Da'an de Taipei recèle des trésors anciens qui valent plus qu'un condominium situé dans le même quartier.
La valeur de sa marchandise ne représente qu'une fraction d'une industrie qui, selon l'association de jade de l'île, a rapporté près de 16 millions de dollars par an en ventes de jade antique enregistrées avant la pandémie.
Mais les concessionnaires avertissent que le secteur s'essouffle après Covid. Avec l'économie mondiale en lambeaux, les acheteurs sont plus prudents avant de tenter leur chance sur des articles coûteux, en particulier avec le marché inondé de contrefaçons.
La détérioration des liens de Taipei avec Pékin signifie également que des restrictions sont toujours en place pour les visiteurs de Chine continentale, éliminant ainsi les plus gros acheteurs de l'industrie.
L'industrie du jade de Taiwan valait jusqu'à 16 millions de dollars par an avant la pandémie de Covid-19
Les relations se sont effondrées depuis que la présidente taïwanaise Tsai Ing-wen, qui refuse d'accepter l'affirmation de Pékin selon laquelle l'île autonome appartient à la Chine, a été élue en 2016.
"Il y a environ sept à douze ans, c'était une très bonne époque pour les Taïwanais qui faisaient du commerce d'antiquités ou de jade", a déclaré Liu San-bian, qui gère un magasin au Metropolitan Jewelry and Antiques Emporium, un trésor d'ateliers.
"Il a décliné lorsque la politique inter-détroit a lentement affecté les voyages entre les deux parties", a-t-il déclaré, résumant le dilemme en quatre caractères chinois signifiant : "Difficile à acheter, difficile à vendre".
« Les Chinois ont cessé de venir et les riches de Taïwan n'achètent plus. Il n'y a pas d'offre sur le marché… et les collectionneurs ici ne sont pas disposés à mettre leurs objets en vente.
- 'Enraciné dans notre ADN' -
Les minuscules plis dans les oreilles du cochon de jade montrent sa provenance de la dynastie Ming, a déclaré à l'AFP un commerçant de Taipei.
Taïwan était le lieu de prédilection des chasseurs de reliques chinoises bien avant de devenir une centrale électrique pour les semi-conducteurs de haute technologie. Les collectionneurs ont déclaré que la plupart avaient été transportés depuis la Chine continentale pendant la Révolution culturelle, se retrouvant sur l'île et à proximité de Hong Kong.
Le gouvernement chinois considère généralement que le commerce d'antiquités d'époques historiques est illégal s'ils n'ont pas été transmis par héritage ou achetés dans des lieux autorisés, tels que des magasins de reliques culturelles.
Mais il existe une zone grise à Taïwan, où les collectionneurs disent avoir obtenu les objets par des moyens légitimes, surtout s'il s'agissait d'effets personnels.
"Pour les Chinois, c'est ancré dans notre ADN", a déclaré à l'AFP Chang Juben, président de l'Association taïwanaise des collectionneurs de jade.
"Les collectionneurs de Taïwan ont commencé à collectionner lorsqu'ils ont réalisé qu'il s'agissait de précieux trésors nationaux… Taïwan a la réputation dans la grande communauté chinoise, que vous pouvez venir ici pour voir, toucher et acheter de bons jades ici."
Le marché du jade antique a décollé vers 2011, lorsque Ma Ying-jeou, ami de Pékin, était président, attirant "un flot incessant d'acheteurs de Chine et d'autres pays", a déclaré Chang.
Aujourd'hui, le marché taïwanais représente environ le quart de sa valeur annuelle antérieure – environ 9,4 à 15,7 millions de dollars pendant les années de boom – et il est facile de se laisser diriger vers des « artefacts » inauthentiques.
"Cela repose sur le bouche à oreille", a déclaré Chang. "Il faut marcher sur le bon chemin et trouver la bonne personne."
La plupart des collectionneurs réputés sont également « protecteurs » vis-à-vis de leur stock, refusant de montrer leurs plus belles pièces à un novice qui ne l'appréciera pas ou à un acheteur cherchant simplement à revendre dans un but lucratif.
- "Construire une réputation" -

Un vol de deux heures vers Hong Kong - une plaque tournante pour les antiquités chinoises vendues à la fois sur les marchés tentaculaires et les maisons de vente aux enchères haut de gamme - raconte une autre histoire.
Pola Antebi, vice-présidente de la maison de vente aux enchères Christie's à Hong Kong, a déclaré qu'elle observait une tendance dans laquelle les collectionneurs d'antiquités publient des collections de longue date conservées jusqu'à cinq décennies.
"Nous avons vendu plusieurs collections importantes de Taïwan à Hong Kong ces dernières années, y compris la remarquable collection Chang Wei-Hwa de jades anciens", a déclaré Antebi à l'AFP.
Ce portefeuille de jades des dynasties Qin et Han a rapporté 9,3 millions de dollars en novembre, tandis que trois ventes aux enchères précédentes de la collection de Chang Wei-Hwa ont rapporté 24,7 millions de dollars de 2019 à 2021.
Les "joueurs" de jade de Taïwan restent convaincus que le commerce "survivra quoi qu'il arrive", a déclaré le négociant Lee.
Sa boutique unique, qui abrite des aquariums de coraux irisés, attire les visiteurs par le bouche à oreille. Un voyage peut se transformer en plusieurs avant qu'une transaction ne soit effectuée - voire pas du tout.
« Il faut très longtemps pour se bâtir une réputation, mais il est très facile de la ruiner. Si un article que vous vendez s'avère être un faux… c'est tout ce qu'il faut pour vous ruiner », a-t-il déclaré.
