29th September 2017 Pluto direct, 30th September Mercury into Libra

Hi everyone!
 
Here we are flying in formation in the light of the Libran Sun.  Sometimes it can be challenging to hold our place, to maintain the balance but like the geese, sometimes we take the lead and sometimes we fall back to allow others to lead the way. 
 
It’s the knowing when to fly in the slipstream and when we’re up to being at the front of the flock leading the group.   To be in the forefront all the time can be draining and exhausting and doesn’t accommodate the total needs of the group energy.  We’re in this together and every one of us is important in holding our place as best we can.
 
Holding the balance:
Over the past weeks of the eclipse period it’s been very much the way many of us have been learning a whole new level of surrender and trust.  As well as the turmoil of the wider world manifesting with the weather events of fire, earth, air and water, we have the ongoing disruptive forces of social and economic change which are rattling our cages as beliefs and opinions are stirred up in conflict. 
 
Mastery of duality: 
The duality of this time has been escalating as we move into the solar month of balance and equilibrium, justice and equity and of course peace and love. It is our call how we handle these energies which are triggering us, challenging us to re-create new ways of living in harmony.
 
As of 26th September:  Make or break, boom or bust! 
Momentum is hectic!
Art: 'Geishas' Jose de la Barra
When you feel like rubbish but your 'cards' are looking fabulous! Bit of dissonance happening here with me.  Feeling out of sorts and I don't mean the licorice variety! I get the feeling there's plenty of this happening out there.

I know we've had Mercury/mind manager in square to Saturn, Lord of Karma which is the challenge to release old mental patterns of thinking from the physical and mental bodies.  Saturn rules joints, teeth, knees...surrender or bust!

Saturn has just moved off 21 degrees Sagittarius in the past few hours where he's been since late July. We will start to feel a little relief from feeling the constricting forces which have been holding us in the very slow speed lane. Saturn doesn't move fast anyway but he'll be through 22 degrees in 3 weeks!

An ongoing hectic week of energetic challenges and changes with the planetary aspects calling us to choose the higher road and the bigger vision to bring forth light to hold the light and just keep clearing.

A highlight will be the exact meeting of Uranus/the higher mind awakener in Aries and Jupiter in Libra, sign of marriage and partnerships. The radical individual flexing his muscles in partnerships of all kinds and in relation to marriage and relationships. Their exact opposition is on 28th September AEST.

After all, we are travelling in the sign of balance, harmony, love, beauty, peace, equity and justice! Whatever it takes!


27th September:  Saturn moves forward to 22 degrees Sagittarius...from marking time to forward march!  Not galloping...yet!
Saturn has been sitting on 21 degrees since late July and has kept us all in a holding energy, a little reminiscent of Mercury retrograde.  However, this holding/marking time energy has been more about keeping us on track, focussed and dedicated to constraining our energies so we can clear a whole stack of karmic energy including the examination and release of ideologies, belief systems, religious/spiritual/philosophical stances which have held us in the past.
 
Our horses are moving along with some baggage keeping us to a steady pace:
We are sure to notice the change in energy as Saturn moves on to a new degree. He’s in Sagittarius until December so we’re still working with a constricting force in relation to our feelings of liberation, movement and expansion, the hallmarks of Sagittarius.  But, the constrictions are going to start feeling easier as Saturn is on 22 degrees for only about 3 weeks as he picks up speed heading towards the December release from the inner struggle which has been one of the manifestations of Saturn in Sagittarius these past 2 years. 
 
I feel sure that Saturn in Sagittarius’ restrictive force has been a huge factor over these past 2 years which has been keeping us a little tied up and tired.  Let’s hope we’ll feel a small uplift and release of tension as he slowly gains speed. 
 
28th September: Uranus opposes/challenges in Jupiter at 27 degrees 22 Aries/Libra...push me/pull you energies!
Effective from 24th September to 2nd October
Radical assessments and realignments in marriage and partnerships:
Tug of war sport graphicsThese two big energies have been crossing paths on and off since the end of 2016 and this time is their last meeting.  Uranus in Aries has definitely been bringing forth our radical activists within in often dramatic fashion in seeking the expansion and liberation of justice and equity in partnerships of all kinds.  In these past months, many personal marriage agreements have been undergoing examination, coming to completion, realigning with more equitable principles within the partnership.
 
In terms of the individual and the partnership with the establishment, work, government, there’s been widespread challenges within our agreements as the individual seeks equity and entitlements which they feel are just and fair.  These conflicts may or may not come to a head at this time.  Whether or not they do, the resolution is underway and the Aries Full Moon on 6th promises some break out/breakthrough energies of completion and culmination.
 
This week we’re likely to see things coming to completion with conclusions which may flow on into October under the Libran Sun of justice.
 
29th September:   
Pluto stations direct at 16 degrees 51 Capricorn at 5.36 am AEST
Until 22nd April 2018
Art:  Giorgio Bisetti

Out of the labyrinth of change:  Discovering our new found power and understanding of self!
Pluto, Lord of Death, Rebirth and Transformation comes back to our conscious existence from his months of plumbing the depths. 

His discoveries and revelations through these past months will start coming to light and will likely bring us to a new understanding and acceptance of our own power to manage our world. 
 

Realising acceptance of success in our lives: 
Defining what success means for us personally!
Much of our new understanding will apply to recognition of our value, embracing our commitment to fulfilling our desire to be a success in our own eyes, knowing that when we commit to following our path of heart and our deep desire for fulfilment of our potential, our pathway forward is clear. 
 
Being successful in the wider world:  
A new state of being in the world of work and money!
Pluto’s in a long term transit of Capricorn, sign of tradition, the establishment, systems, governments and the sign where we find ambition and the drive for success and respect in the world of work.  Of course it can refer to areas other than paid employment but it is one of the key areas for Capricorn, to find and succeed and work which will showcase our gifts and talents, where we can attain the respect and reputation of a successful person in the material world.
 
30th September:  Mercury moves into Libra at 10.42 am AEST
Until 17th October

Moving from hectic to harmonious:
When Mercury moves out of Virgo we’re going to notice a real difference with all the mental activity/over-activity which has been keeping us all up and running.  Our minds have been getting a big healing makeover and realignment in Virgo and this has not necessarily been an easy exercise.  It felt a little like Mercury retrograde energy to me but I have a Gemini Sun and Virgo ascendant so double whammy there.
 
The mind finding balance and harmony:  It might be a bit ‘here and there’ at first!
This hectic mental energy will start settling down in the sign of balance and peace. Of course in Libra there can be a tendency to go from one choice to another and find trouble making a decision as part of Libra’s brief is weighing up choices and options and finding the most harmonious and beneficial outcome.
 
Pathway to love with the mind:
Libra is an air sign which means it’s preferred mode of operation is mind oriented.  It’s interesting when we think of this in relating it to Libra’s ruler which is Venus, the heart energy.  It’s Libra’s call to bring that heart energy into our thinking and our mental body.  When we think of beauty and harmony of love and peace, we train our minds to elevate to feeling love.

Hugs all around!
 
We’re all hanging in the air, cutting the ties with old baggage, karmic ties, contracts and whatever’s holding us back as we head towards the Full Moon in Aries on 6th October.  It promises to be a freeing experience and a divine reunion with our masculine/feminine energies in close conversation in Virgo.  The pink light of unconditional love is calling us to activate our heart energy and bring divine mercy, compassion and forgiveness into our magic bag of everyday living.  Not an easy call when our world is filled with benchmarks, comparisons and competition.
 
Love and blessings to us all as we reaffirm our choice for creating a world of goodness, beauty and love where everyone is honoured, valued and aligned with the common good of equity, justice for all.  We’re all flying together, one body, heart and mind!  Our spirits are aligned regardless of our 3D allegiances.  We are one humanity and love is our guiding force!

20th September 2017 New Moon in Virgo

 
Hi everyone!
 
We’re in the dying rays of the Virgo Sun as we head towards the New Moon in Virgo followed by the Sun’s move to Libra marking the September Equinox.  The vines are growing in the creative flush of the Leo energies of the past months of intense Leo focus. 
 
It’s been an intense time of change:  We’re in the dark of knowing where we’re headed!
With two New Moons and a total Solar Eclipse in Leo catapulting us through the fires of transformative change and creative growth, many of us are only now preparing to emerge from the intensity of the eclipse vortex of change.
 
The coming month/s will start to show what has been developing and percolating inside us all as we’ve cleared and purified so much.  The truth will out!  That means us emerging into the light of a new dawn, new day with fresh perspectives.
 
This New Moon in Virgo brings a liberating force for the physical manifestation of healing mind, body, heart and spirit with Mars, Venus, Mercury all in Virgo, the sign of healing.
 
20th September:  Venus enters Virgo at 11.15 am AEST
Until 14th October
What’s been happening:  Venus has been in Leo through the eclipse focus for change!
Venus has been travelling through the fiery sign of Leo, opening our whole being to ‘the path of heart’ activating new desires, passions and awakening the child within.  It may have been challenging to feel the uplift of spirit through this time as we have been confronted by all those energies which have been holding us back from fully activating our divine fire energy. 
Mars/Mercury cleansing process has been mitigating the full experience of Venus in Leo joy!
With Mars/physical body/fire and drive and Mercury/mental body fully occupied with clearing memories and mindsets, it’s been difficult for many to feel the joy of the heart in its divine passion.  The purification  process of mind and body energy in Virgo the focus has been healing unresolved energies held within the physical and mental bodies.  
 
Venus in Virgo:   Now what!   The path of heart opens to our ‘divine calling’!
How ‘pure’ is your heart?  That’s what we’ll be finding out as Venus enters Virgo the sign of purification.  How our heart was activated during Venus’ time in Leo will now start to become evident as Virgo will clear out those impediments which are keeping us from full expression of what inspires us to give of ourselves in the world. From now on we’re going to find the vehicle to bring our heart energy into practical activation on the earthly plane.  Open heart to take us forward!
 
Mercury, Mars and Venus:  
Mind, body and heart all in healing realignment with divine ‘calling’!
The mental and physical clearance will continue when Venus enters Virgo as the three ‘personal’ planets join forces to take us through a gentle purging process, the hallmark of healing under Virgo.  Grounding our energies during this time will continue to be a focus as we activate new directions flowing on from the New Moon in Virgo.  We may be in process but the clarification of our energies is shifting us imperceptibly into new ways of thinking, feeling and living. 
 
Mercury and Mars: 
Mental and physical clearing ongoing to end of September, late October!
Mercury manager is in Virgo until 30th September so the mental clearance will continue until then. 
Mars, our physical body, fire and drive, will be in Virgo until 22nd October so the physical healing and tempering/realignment of our physical being and our masculine warrior energy will be under the Virgo guiding hand until that time. 
 
From 23rd September:  Partnership and marriage focus and healing resolution and balancing!
When the Sun enters Libra on 23rd September, the focus for heart healing will be through justice and equity playing out through one on one committed relationships.
 
 
 
20th September:  
New Moon in Virgo at 27 degrees 27 Virgo at 3.29 pm AEST
 
The big ‘post eclipse vortex’ tidy up:  Light swords at the ready!

Cleaning up, clearing out the 'dead wood' with a new lunar month carrying the supportive energies of spiritual 'domestic service'!  Resting, recovering and relaxing with our earthly lives as we exit from the eclipse energies and prepare for our 'discovery tour' of what's been happening 'undercover' these past weeks.

A New Moon, new lunar month:  
Planting the seeds, setting the intent!
A new moon brings a fresh start with new energies available to us and setting the agenda for the most conducive direction to take to maximise our growth and expansion. 
 
New focus for health, wellbeing, work and divine alignment with our work:
In Virgo, we’re being guided to plant the seeds of growth in the areas of work, ‘everyday’ work, divine ‘calling’ or service and in terms of healing, health and wellbeing.  If you’re feeling out of kilter with the nature of the work you are doing, this is a great time to consider and be open to possibilities which speak to you spiritually and at your heart centre.
 
What about a new pet?  New connections to our pets, domestic animals.
Virgo also rules pets so this is a great month to give our special animals some extra attention, care and healing. We may even decide to get a new pet during this next month.
 
Emergence from the eclipse vortex:  What happened?  Where am I?
This New Moon marks a closing of the eclipse portal that has been carrying us for quite a few weeks through all manner of shifts and turns.
A door opens at the New Moon:  
Post eclipse discovery tour!
As we emerge from the eclipse, our new doorway opens out to show us just how much has passed and changed during these past weeks.
 
Here and now:  
Getting our ducks in a row...mind, body, heart and spirit!
Right now we’re getting our ducks in a row as Venus joins Mercury and Mars in Virgo. What a line-up for the New Moon in Virgo!
 
As clarity returns new directions come into focus:  No need to rush!
Virgo is all about practical application, organisation and attending to the details with meticulous precision so when this energy is in full flight, it’s a perfect time to get our act together with refining goals, directions and putting in place some action plans.
 
The pieces of the jigsaw starting to fall into place:  
20th September,  Mercury leaves shadow retrograde at 11 degrees 38 Virgo
Let’s not forget that Mercury is still in Virgo until 30th September so we’re still clarifying and paring away the extraneous details which have bogged us down in the monkey mind chattering from old mindsets.  However, from the New Moon onwards we’re starting to get a clearer picture of what’s possible in terms of practical realisation.  This is not a dampener on the dreams.  Rather it is a supporting structure of mind, heart and body which will back us all the way. With Mercury leaving shadow retrograde as the New Moon comes in, expect revelations!
 
Planetary energies at the New Moon

A planetary T-square:  New Moon/Sun, Chiron and Saturn...big karmic healing release!
New Moon/Sun in Virgo 27 degrees
Chiron in Pisces 26 degrees opposing New Moon/Sun
Saturn in Sagittarius 21 degrees in square/challenge to New Moon/Sun and Chiron
 
Release of collective spiritual ‘wounds’:  Chiron in Pisces is bringing up and healing the wounds of the collective unconscious and assisting with the evolution of emotional energies through transcending the emotional overwhelm which arises as old spiritual ‘wounds’ are revealed and released.
 
The Virgo New Moon/Sun is all healing of the physical and of course with Mercury, Mars and Venus in Virgo, it’s also a powerful healing force on all levels of our being as Chiron is activated by the birth of the New Moon. It’s primarily physical, emotional and spiritual in focus but I’d expect an all encompassing healing process being set in motion at this New Moon.
 
Karmic release:
With Saturn in the picture, we always know the karmic aspects come into play and in Sagittarius, a call to higher consciousness, an ongoing process that’s been with us for nearly 2 years and taking us through these last months of 2017 before Saturn moves into Capricorn in December.
 
Accessing and harnessing the divine mind will assist in release processes:  Hocus, pocus, focus!
The ‘missing leg’ of the T-square formation is in Gemini so putting some focus into the Gemini energy will assist the release of the T square energies.  The Gemini energy calls for utilising the mental energies to focus the mind and in doing so, releases any build up of emotional overwhelm or emotional heaviness. 
 
The higher consciousness of Gemini can take us into what I call ‘the divine mind’ which can hold us in mental clarity assisting us to access the mastery and balance of handling big emotional releases. Just close the eyes and fill the head then the body with light.  Violet flame and/or blue light to begin followed by gold light, the alchemical energies which transform.
 
 
 
Sabian Symbol for the New Moon in Virgo:  From Lynda Hill
'The Right Use of Power, Possibilities and Potentials' Virgo New Moon
https://sabiansymbols.com/right-use-power-possibilities-potentials-septembers-virgo-new-moon/

New Moon and Sun: Virgo 28
A BALDHEADED MAN WHO HAS SEIZED POWER
This Symbol shows a personality that “Seizes Power” and takes hold of situations. The fact that he’s “Bald” implies someone with experience, perhaps older, someone willing and able to take a stand and take charge. This pictures times to seize power and push forward with decisions that need to be grounded. It is by force of will that solutions will be found, but one must be careful to temper situations as displays of masculine will can get out of hand very quickly. This degree sometimes needs to be handled with caution as it can mean having people in one’s life that bully, push and demand. Dominating mental space to be in control. Male hormones run rampant. The story of Samson and his hair. Uniforms. Being cruel. Commanding and strong. The government.





23rd September:  Sun moves into Libra at 6.02 am AEST
Love, harmony, beauty and equity!
Until 23rd October 
Balance, harmony, love and peace:  Also justice, equity!
We tend to think of the Libran energy as all ‘sweetness and light’ when one of its major roles is to bring peace, love and harmony through justice and equity!
It can be a deceptive energy as we all crave the love and harmony that comes from feeling at one with ourselves, our committed ‘partnerships’ and with the world.
 
Libra: Justice...whatever it takes!
However, Libra will take on any energy which is out of balance, which is taking us or the world out of equilibrium and will address that re-balancing process with a fierce energy that seems out of the range of the Libran ‘love and harmony’ kitbag of magic.
 
The past year of Jupiter in Libra:
We just have to look at how Jupiter in Libra has been impacting us over this past year to see that as we chose to expand and grow (Jupiter) we brought up all manner of issues in relation to partnerships, love and peace.
 
Saturn has been working with Jupiter in raising consciousness:
We’ve had Saturn in Sagittarius stirring the consciousness and desire for more ‘divine’ consciousness and that has added to the conflicted energies of Jupiter in Libra as we’ve felt the push for more equitable relationships of all kinds.  It will be interesting to see how the dynamic changes when Jupiter moves into Scorpio on 10th October.  We might find out how much ground we’ve covered.
 
Love and ‘marriage’:  Seeking and building partnerships based on loving resonance!  
Finding kindred spirits!
The Libran Solar month puts our focus on love and ‘marriage’, committed partnerships whether in ‘marriage’ or in relationships which are close and committed such as with family members, business connections or close friendships.
 
Higher consciousness, more evolved relationships:  

The new relationship paradigm is emerging!
When we have loving committed connections with others we are constantly seeking balance and harmony, resonance of ‘like minds and like hearts’.  Equitable partnerships which support each other with respect and acceptance with the freedom to grow and expand as individuals, is the ideal sought by us as we grow into more evolved consciousness.  This next solar month I imagine we’ll be seeking relationships which may resonate with a higher consciousness.  As we shift, everything shifts.
 
It will be interesting to see how our relationships evolve in the coming weeks with Jupiter in his last 3 weeks of his year in Libra.  We’re winding up a cycle with respect to the Libran energies and how we emerge from this year of growth in Libra will be coming through in the weeks ahead as Mercury moves into Libra on 30th, Jupiter moves out of Libra on 10th October and Mars moves into Libra on 22nd October.  
 
The Sun moving into Libra marks the September Equinox:  A turning point for the year! 
The Equinox has traditionally been regarded as a strong esoteric energy connected to the ancestral traditions on earth as a marker of seasonal changes and the ‘magic’ of earth’s cycles.
 
The Equinoxes, like the solstices, are considered portals which usher in new energies supporting change and growth.  All we need to do is offer up our intentions and open to the energies of this day which offers a balance of night and day. 
 
The Equinox:  The Astronomy
On the equinox, night and day are nearly exactly the same length – 12 hours – all over the world. This is the reason it's called an "equinox," derived from Latin, meaning "equal night." However, even if this is widely accepted, it isn't entirely true. In reality, equinoxes don't have exactly 12 hours of daylight.

Well, happy landing everyone as we emerge from the tumble dryer of the eclipse energies!  We might feel a little disoriented for a few days as we find ourselves.  It might be a little like a stranger in a strange land until we get the sense of how we’re feeling and of the changes that start coming through the filters.
 
As always, love and blessings to us all as we build and hold the light of love, embrace each other and the earth with loving kindness and maintain our faith and hope in our divine creative power.  As more people awaken and join us, the load will lessen.  It just seems at the moment that as we intensify our light, the dark energies are stepping up their resistance.
 
We’re moving into the last quarter of 2017 from this week and it’s going to be full of planetary changes to the social and economic climate and the bigger picture.  Trust in the spiritual safety net and surrender to love.

10th September: Mercury entered Virgo, 'Apocalypse' Full Moon debrief

 
Photos by Igor Trier, Anatoly Khlopotnyuk Komi Russia
 
Hi everyone!
 
Whew!  A couple of weeks of uppers and downers driving us through amazing personal and planetary release and into a process which called on absolute faith that all will be well...eventually!  i wrote most of this update about a week ago but have simply been in the spiritual ‘recovery ward’ till now.
 
Full Moon, Solar madness and planetary cleansing mayhem:
It was quite a week with the Full Moon in Pisces calling for the uplift and then the Sun blazing to life with major solar flares, huge ongoing magnetic storms and wild weather across the planet. The sun gave forth a major flare, the biggest we’ve had for 10 years.  This light energy can affect us physically and emotionally.
 
Solar activity impacts us in different ways at different times:
Different people have different responses at different times so there is no hard and fast rule that we will always be affected by such activity or that all people experience the same degree of intensity. 
 
Solar activity brings light to the earth:  
However, you may have felt exhausted, nauseous, ‘scattered’ in energy, wide awake unable to sleep even if exhausted.  The solar bombardment this week was extraordinary yet delivered some wonderful auroras that lift our eyes and hearts skywards.  At the least this was a saving grace in a disturbing and volatile time  for the planet.
 
Water, Air, Fire and Earth:  The huge planetary cleansing of the past two weeks!
At the same time of all the solar activity, we were seeing and/or experiencing the widespread flooding in Bangladesh in particular followed by huge wildfires in USA along with wild hurricanes and huge flooding.  I also noticed flash flooding in Italy and Croatia.  A huge earthquake with loss of lives in Mexico added to the release of old energies from within the earth taking even more lives. 
 
There may well have been more happening across the planet but I couldn’t engage with all the media while all this was going on.  Just working with the light to mitigate the severity of this extreme weather was my contribution. The past week hasn’t been quite so intense although solar activity has continued to activate the magnetic field of the earth.
 
 
Was there a spiritual uplift at the Pisces Full Moon:  
The clearance is part of the Full Moon energy as full moons bring release!  Oh boy...did we release!
All of this planetary and solar activity seemed to acknowledge any spiritual uplift of the Full Moon in Pisces whilst this huge cleansing of the earth and humanity was affected so many people across so many continents.
 
‘Judgement Day’?:  A huge release of old energies from the earth and humanity!  An exodus of old energies!
If you didn’t feel uplifted by the Full Moon in Pisces, just trust that the cleansing and purification which has been happening is preparing the groundwork for new clean foundations as all those unresolved energies held within the earth and humanity are being lifted up and out of everything.  This is the process of ascension on earth. 
 
Cosmos and earth energies working together: 
Some parts of the earth were in major cleansing mode and took the hit for the earth this time, areas of the earth that needed cleansing and it was time for those energies to be released. But, we all felt the release and everyone on the earth had a direct experience of the Full Moon and planetary energies.  The cosmic line up was holding us in the letting go and surrender to forces which seemed beyond our control. 
 
Holding the light:  Trusting our creative focus and combined consciousness united in divine love!
The call was to hold the light, to hold the higher consciousness and to work, like magicians, with the forces impacting on the earth.  We are creative beings, living in the quantum field of the earth and the whole cosmos. We have within us the capacity to calm the winds and water, fires and the earth herself when we maintain calm, peace and love. 
 
The Pisces Full Moon along with the Virgo healing Sun:
The release of anger, grief, fear, pain, suffering, oppression, slavery, lies and corruption was palpable and many of us were feeling it in our physical bodies.  The memories were surfacing. These are energies ruled by Pisces and held within the collective unconscious. The Caribbean area has been just one of the centres for slavery and corruption in the world.
 
Releasing the ‘trapped’ energies from the collective unconscious:
Let’s not forget that Pisces rules the energies of spiritual uplift and mastery along with confinement, slavery, victimhood, martyrdom and the old religious belief systems of dogma which have led us to believe that the path of suffering and misery is the path to salvation.  We’re all holding these energies this lifetime and some of us are coming to resolution with the release of those energies.  It all depends on your divine ‘brief’ this lifetime...what your soul has chosen you to do as karmic resolution.

Solar Symptoms and Side Effects
Psychological effects of CMEs (coronal mass ejections) are typically short lived and include headache, palpitations, mood swings, and feeling generally unwell. Chaotic or confused thinking, and erratic behaviors also increase.

10th September:   Mercury entered Virgo at 12.51 pm AEST
Any mentally resistant forces are being cleared!
Art:  'Awakening' Tomasz Alen Kopera 
Confusion is being cleared:
Mercury is ruler of our mental body, our ‘mind manager’ and in you’ve felt that the ‘manager’ of your thinking processes has been off the planet or AWOL from clarity, then you can appreciate the healing power of the Virgo energies which are acting upon us at this time. 
 
Practising quieting the ‘monkey mind’:  Just be quiet!
We’re being given absolute clarity as those energies which are keeping us from enacting forward movement are being cleared away.  I’m talking about the ‘monkey mind’ which seems to pop up with some negative thought just when we think we’ve got it together.  We can’t afford the indulgence of the monkey mind as we prepare for new directions as we approach the end of 2017. 
 

Our next step forward:  New Moon in Virgo...setting goals and intentions!
Any doubts, fears, insecurities or confused thinking are being cleared from our minds so clarity can be restored and strengthened so that we are ready to start into a new way of thinking after the New Moon in Virgo on 20th September.
 
17th September: Rebooting mind/body connection!  Hotheads?
Mars and Mercury met at 7 degrees Virgo ‘today’, about 12 hours ago as I write this update.  Mars is our fire and drive, our masculine warrior energy, ruler of the physical body and the head.  With Mars and Mercury meeting you may have felt anger, irritation or frustration arising within as we were called to reboot our ‘masculine’ mental thinking energies into higher consciousness.  Purification requires letting go of old thought patterns and processes.
 
 
Picking up speed after New Moon on 20th September: Saturn has turned direct but still sitting on 21 degrees.  He’s been on that degree since late July won’t move off that degree till late September. 
27th September to 12th October he’s on 22 degrees. So he really adds some speed.  That’s when we’ll feel the shift.

‘The Good times are Coming’ Mama Cass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLwxVe6gmxY
 
The good times are coming
They'll be comin' real soon
And I'm not just pitchin' pennies at the moon

I'm not about to come unhinged
When everything goes wrong
A fact is something to be faced
But not for very long

The good times are coming
They'll be comin' real soon
And I'm not just pitchin' pennies at the moon

The good times are coming
When they come, I'll be there
With my both feet firmly planted in the air

There's gonna be a place for us
A place where we belong
To stand outside just looking in
Has got to be all wrong

Hugs all around!
 
We’re on the road to recovery from the recent tumult as well as major oppressive energies which have been keeping us confined, suppressed and repressed in our own consciousness and our connection to the earth and her ancestral memory and history.
 
We’re heading towards the New Moon in Virgo on 20th September AEST followed by the September Equinox marked by the Sun moving into Libra on 23rd September AEST.  The Equinox is a turning point in our calendar year as well as our astrological year. 
 
The New Moon marks the completion of the eclipse vortex and our rebirth and entry into new energy with the New Moon in Virgo, sign of divine calling, healing, practical grounding feminine earth energy. Virgo also rules everyday work and with its connection to ‘divine calling’, what has been known as ‘service’, we can recognise that this is a perfect time to get clarity around those hopes and dreams which can be brought into physical reality from the New Moon onwards. 

We don’t have to begin the physical beginnings right on the New Moon but be ready to set the ball in motion at that time to play out in the weeks following the New Moon.  Mercury moves out of shadow on 19th, the day before the New Moon!
 
If ever there was a time to start preparing for the launch of new directions at the New Moon, this is it! 
We need to be prepared to throw out the doubts, fears and anxieties along with those self judgements arising from the Virgo critical evaluations and propensity to perfectionism.  Putting a toe in the water works well with this energy which is cautious and careful and will help you pace yourself if you allow that to be so.
 
We’re now heading into the ‘dark of the moon’, the 3 days before the New Moon in Virgo and it’s releasing all the way through these final days of this eclipse cycle.  Letting go all the way!
Love and blessings.
