Monthly Musings
As September begins and the full moon of August hit hard again, we are tired and weary. Healing and clearing layer after layer is hard work, and we are all doing it whether we like it or not. The cardinal cross and T square energies have definitely been excavating deep for all. This first week of Septmeber is a time of rest and rejuvenation before the new moon. The new moon in Virgo on Sept 8th is the second supermoon in a row. It is time to move forward. Mercury will turn direct on the 12th and our new service work will manifest. Get ready for the big blast! It is now time to manifest our new lives, our ideal lives: our new work, homes, friends and lovers. Virgo rules work and service, so this is the month in which we will all move forward in our soul purpose and service to the collective in new ways.
Each of us is uprooting some of the last vestiges of fear and panic, wondering how it is going to happen. It is not our lower self's job to know. It is a time of trust in our higher self. It is a time to KNOW that we will be taken care of. What we need in each moment will be magnetized to us and and will flow effortlessly. This is a big step...a time of trust, faith and surrender of the highest order. We are returning to a simpler way of life, where all life supports all other life. Where all kingdoms of life work co-operatively together for all.
What is happening is that our greater selves, our Divine Selves, are taking control of our lives. This was intitiated by the grand cross and solidified at the T square. Our lower selves are no longer in control. If we allow ourselves to trust, surrender, and fly with our grander wings, we will be taken care of. It is when we resist, and our ego persists, that things get tough. No longer do our egos run the show. Yes, there is free will, and yes, there is fate. Now, it is a time of destiny overriding the free will control. We must expand and allow the new and immense energies to lead us: surrender, surrender, surrender.
Last April, when I first entered these higher energies, I had a dream. In the dream I was driving my car (my spiritual vehicle) on the freeway. I exited to a new freeway, and suddenly and without warning, the traffic speeded up to a new and accelerated rate. It was so shocking that I actually found myself hanging by my hands from the edge of the overpass, scared out of my wits. This dream is a good metaphor for how these energies are working. Everything is moving at such an accelerated rate that we have to stay in the flow or we fall out of harmony. It is important when you find yourself going too fast, to take some time to BE and rest and recuperate. These are important times. We are finding a new balance and equilibrium.
The new moon in Virgo will solidify our new and higher soul purpose into our lives, and our work begins. Some of us will have partners enter at the Divine level to work and live with. The shadow side of Virgo is workaholism, and this is no longer allowed. We are learning to play and work, work and play; all is joy and bliss. As you find your niche in the work and servie you came to do, you will learn to release the fear and worry of not having enough, not being enough, and not doing enough. Balance. Equilibrium. Thoughts create reality, so it is a time of purifying our thoughts, releasing the doubts, shadows, and fears which hold us back.
Mercury turns direct on Sept. 12th and Pluto turns direct on the 13th. This will allow for great forward movement on our paths. Mercury has allowed us to internalize the new and grander self being birthed. Pluto is encouraging us to own our power and take responsibility as well as give others' theirs. We are beginning the creation of this new world which will bring equality and justice for all. What is your role?
The Sabian symbol for this new moon at 16 degrees Virgo is: "In the zoo, children are brought face to face with an orangutan; a direct confrontation with the "wild" power of primordial nature within oneself." We need to ask what is still being caged within us, and what wild part within needs to soar and fly free? We are entering a time of soaring high and flying free, beyond the boundaries we have had in place our whole life.
This month, the full moon and the fall equinox fall within hours of each other, on September 23. These portals will provide a grand entry into a new way of life and being. Both new and full moons and equinoxes and solstices are times of great power alone; opening the energetic doorways which reveal and allow for new choices and potnetials. Having the full moon and equinox synchronize their powers will create even grander potentials for our new lives. The T sqaure which has been in effect, is highlighted again with this full moon. With the addition of the moon's nodes, a more complex and impelling grand cross pattern is formed, demanding change. We must radically shift our awareness and perceptions in order to sail through this one. We are razing the patriarchial power structures and implementing a return to the matriarchial and divine feminie ways of life.
This full moon is in 1 degree Aries, the beginning degrees of the beginning sign. We are entering a time when science is going to be confirming what only spiritual seekers have known. New ideas, new truths, new paradigms are blasting apart our old beleifs and realities. We are expanding into a quantum world and reality at speeds faster than light. We are letting go of our addictive patterns and behaviors, co-dependence and simulataneously evolving into a unified field of awareness. This full moon is so powerful, we will feel its effects for the next month. It is conjunct the Galactic Center, which our galaxy and others orbit. This center acts as a beacon, compelling us to embody our divine natures and purpose for this incarnation. Not only the sun and moon, but three other planets as well; Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus are crossing this point, which is an extremely rare happening.
In addition, this moon also squares the last eclipse, triggering us to move forward with gusto. The eclipse was in Cancer/Capricorn, ruling our new homes and new career paths. This month is the climax of this 3 month period of setting us in new spaces and places and demanding we step into our big boots. For those who do not heed the call, things will get tough. For those who do, next month will soldify the changes and finally allow a resting period at the end of the year; a calming before the re-entry of the outer planets of Jupiter and Uranus in Aries in January. Whew!
Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are, for what you will become. Remember, surrender is only letting go of the lesser for the greater yet to come. Have a grand month! I feel as though we will be meeting from a completely new reality by next month. As Swami Beyondanada says: "There is good news and bad news. The bad news: civilization as we know it, is about to end. The good news: Civilization as we know it, is about to end. Why don't we go for Heaven on Earth, just for the hell of it?"
