Hi everyone!

This sloth’s using all it’s energy to hang on and let go, all at the same time...a very Scorpionic energy...determination, focus and persistence whilst allowing all the excesses to be purged. Nothing will stop Scorpio energy. We all have it with us now and there’ll be bucketloads to come!

 

 

 

What’s been happening: Waiting...waiting...waiting...cleansing, purging, probably house cleaning, ‘de-junking’! ...whilst ‘holding the vision’

Do you feel like you’ve been hanging around, waiting for something to happen??? We’ve had some big shifts this year and they are continuing over the next few months. This next week you’re likely to find things start moving again, if they haven’t already in the past couple of months.

 

Strengthening our uniqueness: Lots of internal changes have been continuing and strengthening us in preparation for our return to life in a new form. Doubts and fears need to be eradicated in order for us to walk our unique path, to step away from mob mentality and walk the talk of who we are. Are you strong enough to withstand the urge to conform in order to belong and be loved? It is only your unique path and nothing less, which will bring you that deep fulfilment this lifetime.

 

 

Physically: We’ve had solar activity which has been coming in waves which can really create some discomfort emotionally, mentally and/or in the body. This is most likely to occur when there’s a geomagnetic storm, affecting the magnetic field. Sleep patterns can be disturbed, restlessness, nervousness, mental activity – could be over or under-stimulated. Possibly nausea as well as the ongoing ‘head’ stuff of sinus/heavy head/headaches(Mars in Scorpio).

Whilst Mars is in Scorpio, we’re doing the body clearing/healing...heat in the body... as well as a focus on clearing the head. The heavy energies are being flushed out/burned out of us. Anyone else been feeling like you’ve had ‘a night on the tiles’ when you wake up? It’s one way of clearing up the ‘overthinking’ which takes us out of our hearts.

Translation: A night on the tiles is a colloquial Australian term for a hard night's drinking, inevitably resulting in a severe hangover.

The solar activity will be continuing and probably escalating over the next months according to the scientific predictions of solar activity patterns.

 

 

What’s ahead: Well, folks, the next few weeks promise to be a bubbling cauldron of change – for the better! Big breakthroughs are possible as the big outer planets Uranus and Pluto come into another clash. Pluto, planet of deep transformation and change finally moves direct in Capricorn.

Scorpio energy has arrived and will be sweeping us through to 2013: Mars in Scorpio ...we’re already in the red sports car!

The sweep of planetary energies into Scorpio will guarantee change of the deep and lasting kind. 

 

We’ve had Mars there for a few weeks already and that’s stirred up all the energies, both in the body (head, blood, heat etc..as mentioned in last update) and in the transformation process.

Mars won’t be moving out of Scorpio until the 8th October, just after Mercury and Saturn move into Scorpio.

Advanced Driving Techniques: From October 8, Saturn is in Scorpio for the next year or so, making sure we follow through with the changes. There is no going back, but incredible support if we are prepared to take our authority as masters of transformation and to master our field of destiny...our chosen pathway.

We’re on our way...for sure!

 

16th September: New Moon in Virgo at 12.10 pm AEST at 24 degrees Virgo...clearing and grounding! Bringing dreams into reality!

The Virgo moon represents grounded feminine energy which offers us the opportunity to bring forth all that has been mulling around inside and give birth to these energies in the physical world. Virgo calls us to be practical, to bring the dreams, unconscious desires out of the etheric realm into the physical world.

 

Cleaning, clearing and decluttering call us to action: Practical changes may start with the clearing of your physical home and/or work space. Virgo is a powerful cleanser, so you’re likely to feel like ‘spring’ cleaning, no matter what the season in your part of the world. You’ve probably been already involved in this since the Sun went into Virgo in late August. Virgo, amongst other things, is the housekeeper.

 

Health, work and wellbeing: Virgo lunar month supports those projects and possibilities which support our health, wellbeing and everyday living, including work; not just paid work, but the way we can best serve ourselves and the world. Virgo tells us of our reason for being here in this earthly existence this lifetime.

Healing: Taking care of the physical body...a two fold process this month...

1. cleansing cell memories/the unconscious

2. taking action to own our authentic selves and embody it on on the physical plane

Virgo is the sign of the healer asking us to live in the fullness of our physical lives, respecting and honouring ourselves and the earth in the best possible way.

The lunar month in Virgo helps us access and release cell memories, the unconscious aspects which are not aligned with the truth of who we are and not aligned with our service work/divine mission for this lifetime.

Cleansing and purification is pivotal:

For the next lunar month, clearance of unevolved cell memories from our bodies is likely to be accelerated, freeing us up for recognition of our ‘calling’, our pathway forward out of the mire. This will work concurrently with our taking new steps forward in our physical lives.

 

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

― C.G. Jung

For some it’s still early days as we work towards the major vortex of 12/12/12-21/12/12. For others, you may already see the glimmer of light as new pathways open before you and you take your first steps. Patience is still required as we hold the faith, in the power of the light, enlightenment and love.

Mastering your physical world, living in truth: Virgo gives us the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of our physical world. It calls us to cleanse and purify as we reach for the perfection of being our true selves. Unevolved Virgo energy aligns with the societal benchmarks that come from the social conditioning of our planet.

The call for Virgo energy is to elevate the concept and understanding of perfection as the embodiment of our true selves in this earthly domain.

A good affirmation for this lunar month – ‘ I am perfect in my imperfections’

Mercury, the messenger, in close contact with the New Moon, Sun and North Node will be giving messages:

Be open to hear and receive the gifts of guidance emerging from the unconscious as the clarifying and cleansing process clears away the veil of confusion. Beginning the lunar month with this line-up of planets is likely to result in ongoing signposts, messages and guidance for this next lunar month.

The North Node in Scorpio, our collective spiritual direction on the planet will be in contact with the New Moon, Sun and Mercury calling us to grow. This is all about your destiny being aligned with the planetary direction. When we are aligned with the greater purpose and direction of the planet, of the cosmos, then our destiny is likely to be activated. Destiny presents as possible futures, the possible fulfilment of who we are, not who we’ve been conditioned to be.

 

Listen for the messages about life purpose and alignment with the collective spiritual direction.

If we wish to live abundantly and fulfilled, then we need to be clear of the overlays of what Don Miguel Ruiz calls ‘the domestication of the planet’. We need to be freed of memories and aspects from the past, from the unconscious...energies seeking resolution. Then can we find ourselves fully prepared to express our gifts and talents, without being pulled back into the fears and doubts, pain and suffering which have been so much of earth’s history.

Carl Jung on the importance of stepping away from conditioned responses to life and aligning with personal truth:

“...anyone who attempts to do both, to adjust to his group and at the same time pursue his individual goal, becomes neurotic.”
― C.G. Jung

Our physical lives are changing: Be prepared to receive gifts and breakthroughs on the physical level. It’s already happening! I have been hearing stories of people who are having breakthroughs with problems that have seemed insurmountable. Burdens are gradually being lifted. Yes, it seems many are passing over as their work on earth comes to an end.

What are you doing to access and build your own personal dream: If you don’t know what you want, this is a good time to find out. Imagination plays an important role in imagining your future, even more than one future, as you have the opportunity to ‘try on’ experiences of what brings you pleasure. If you’re saying ‘all I want is...’ in a limited thinking framework, then chances are that’s what you’ll get. Maybe we don’t know all our heart’s desires, but we can focus on the fulfilment of our potential, prosperity on all levels of our being.

Hold the dream, the vision, the ideal: One small step in the right direction can take us forward into the leap of faith. Holding ‘the dream’ every day...and building on it, is vital for getting moving in the right direction.

Qualities of patience, persistence and focus are being supported at this time. This is mastery of the physical...never give up. Frustration and irritation pull us back into the old energies. This month supports us ‘keeping the faith’...in yourself, the universe and in your destiny.

From Cathy Pagano:

The Sabian symbol for the Sun and Moon at 24* Virgo is: Mary and her little lamb. This childhood rhyme reminds us to protect our innocence in the midst of the tests we’re all undergoing. Stay true to your ideals. It is past time that we stopped thinking that being idealistic was being impractical and naïve.

This Sabian symbol adds meaning to ‘keeping the faith’, ‘holding the dream’. What growth would have occurred in the world without the idealists! Yes, we have to ground the ideal, but we need to have the vision first.

17th September: Mercury moves into Libra until 5th October...talking about relationships, social justice, peace, harmony, love and beauty!

Libra carries quite a package of energies which are especially relevant at this time. With Mercury in Libra, the dialogue is opened up in any or all of these areas and is likely to be in the personal as well public arena.

 

Let’s talk about love...and marriage! Does it go together like a horse and carriage??? – expect discussions concerning this issue private and public

Libra rules relationships, one-on-one of the committed variety, whether marriage, close friendship or business partnership. During this time we might ourselves in personal discussions around love, commitment, bringing equity and balance into relationships.

Let’s talk about social justice and equity...the issues could really kick in through the next week and up to 5th October...be aware

This could play out in a wide variety of areas in the public arena relating to social inequities of all kinds rich/poor, old/young, citizenship/refugee status, employed/unemployed, gay/straight, disabled/healthy etc.

 

Everybody will be talking on the soapbox. The challenge will be hearing yourself as well as hearing others. We’ll feel fired by a particular issue close to our heart, perhaps one which has been buried deep within us.

Golden Oldie for the talkfest: Everybody’s Talkin’ at Me – Harry Nilsson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AzEY6ZqkuE

 

Issues will be fired up...the overlay of Uranus/Pluto challenge on the New Moon will flavour the month...Old versus New!

Mercury in Libra is being fired by Pluto moving direct on 18th as well as the building intensity of the Uranus/Pluto standoff on 19th. So, we’re likely to be feeling the intensity of the dialogue when Mercury ‘hits’ Libra, with deep hidden issues being triggered by Pluto moving forward and readying for a dust-up with Uranus.

As well as this, we have Saturn in the last month of Libra, intensifying the focus on justice in relation to government, bureaucracy, the establishment, patriarchy etc. as well as karmic justice.

It’s all about change...for the better, so trust that the voices, personally and in society, are releasing long buried injustices in the psyche.

Bottom line:

Public issues will involve government, big business, big money (Pluto in Capricorn)...as we know, this energy is ongoing for some years! The polarisation in politics is likely to intensify during this period of time.

Issues of marriage: There’s likely to be further discussions about marriage as an institution (introduction recently of new marriage vows in Anglican Church in Australia) as well as another upsurge in the gay/lesbian marriage debate.

 

 

Power of technology: Uranian energy will be very much in the picture as technology plays an increasingly bigger role with respect to worldwide communication via internet, mobile phones, social media and the growing social commentary from the masses.

Mass media: The ‘makeover’ of the mass media that’s been happening over the past two years is continuing as the wheels of change have been set in motion. More media sites offering a wide range of views are springing up online, available across the world. Information wise, the world is becoming a smaller place, growing empathy and understanding as the discourse on ‘rights and wrongs’ continues.

The Virgo Sun offers protection from the storms if we remember to use it: Seek shelter when needed.

With these energies working under the umbrella of the Virgo Sun, healing is possible. However, Virgo has a tendency to be critical and judgmental as the Virgo energy seeks perfection. It’s likely that everyone could feel that they are right and everyone is wrong.

Remind yourself...Don’t worry, be happy! ...when the discourse within or without, starts to overwhelm.

18th September: Pluto moves direct at 7 degrees Capricorn...the wheels of deep change power up readying to move us forward...release!

Pluto’s been retrograde for months, forcing us to dig into the personal and collective psyche, uncovering and discovering deeply buried beliefs, values and attitudes with respect to ‘the establishment’, government, big money, monetary institutions etc.

 

 

What’s been happening on the personal level: mining for gold!...the gold of personal truth!

We’ve been challenged to access deeply buried conditioned beliefs and values from within our psyche and our physical bodies. We’ve been digging in, mining the depths to clear those memories, values, beliefs which have come from the planetary memory, the societal, cultural, familial conditioning which has been the determining factor of our lives.

 

This energy of cleansing will be continuing until we are aligned with our authentic selves. However, we have the opportunity now until April next year to get our of the mine for a breather, to find out how far we’ve come, to access the Plutonic energy...which is huge, for powering us forward towards our own personal rainbow.

Yes, there’s ongoing cleansing, but the process will be easier as Pluto moves into direct motion. We’ll start to feel the power behind us more fully when Saturn moves into Scorpio on 8th October.

19th September: Pluto in Capricorn squaring/challenging Uranus in Aries at 7 degrees... sudden release of inner tension!

Publicly: This is ‘radicals versus the establishment’. The theme has been ongoing since the first challenge of Pluto/Uranus in June this year. This energy is going to be around until 2015 as sacred cows are called into question. Conservative forces unprepared to move forward into new ways of doing, being, living and interacting will be challenged by radical new ideas, leading edge thinking.

Boxing gloves are out!

This is revolutionary energy bringing in revolutionary thinking and problem-solving. There will be big changes between now and 2015 as the old and the new do battle. When they have an exact meeting like this one on 19th, then things will come to a head, followed by a period of truce until the next clash. Each time this happens, things will be brought into the open, an airing of grievances and yes, an upsurge in open hostility is more than likely, especially in war-torn countries and regions.

 

 

 

 

back to the 60’s on the bus of rebellion!

 

 

“We are not what happened to us,
we are what we wish to become.”
― C.G. Jung

 

Personally:

Sudden wake-up calls as buried, suppressed tensions suddenly explode out of us. It doesn’t mean we’ll be in battle with others, although that could well occur if we’re not ‘owning’ what surfaces from within us. Things that have been festering for some time without resolution, will suddenly burst into consciousness with the potential for resolution.

A powerful problem solving energy: This is a powerful force which can shift us into awareness, understanding, sudden insights, realisations. This provides a natural release of energy which may feel explosive. Be aware that the energy is volatile and will feel uncontrollable. Be assured that the experience is likely to take us into a new direction, happening so close to the New Moon. If you’ve been feeling ‘flat’ and without direction then this energy will wake you up.

 

The impact of the Uranus/Pluto square will flow on through the next couple of weeks up to the Aries Full Moon on 30th which is likely to be an explosive culminating force, offering a huge shift to get us all moving.

 

 

Upcoming Dates:

23rd September: Sun moves into Libra/equinox

23rd September: Spring Equinox Australia 12.49 am AEST

 

 

That’s it folks!

 

Quite a bit on the agenda and it’s all leading us into the Equinox, power day on 23rd when the Sun moves into Libra and then on to big energies with the Aries Full Moon on 30th September.

 

 

Love and blessings as always and take shelter when needed!
