Autumn Equinox & Full Moon in Aries

First things first, happy equinox!!! On September 22nd, For the Northern Hemisphere, summer officially comes to an end, and will be entering the season of Autumn (Fall) and for those living in the Southern Hemisphere entering the season of Spring.

The Equinox is where day and night are of equal length – these magical energies coming together as one – Heaven & Earth, Spirit & Matter, Mind & Soul.

Many Indigenous cultures recognized the cycles of this planet and others- understanding how they all play into the Solstices'& Equinox's of the year. With each being a spiritual cycle that happens within us on an individual level, and as a collective. The veils are thin at this time, and as we enter into October will continue to get thinner.

We are going through a new phase, a new period. For those in the Northern Hemisphere. this is the time that we go within. We are activating this new growth as we allow rest and deep thought to gain new innerstanding.

As the days get shorter and the nights grow longer, we descend into the darkness of the night and face our own inner darkness—the darkness within. This darkness, our ego and the subconscious.. As darkness arises- we face it. We find the balance of these polarities. Heaven and Earth. Darkness and Light. As Above, so Below. Masculine and Feminine. Giving and Taking. Ying and Yang. The Autumn Equinox is the time to let everything go. As the leaves change color & transition, so do we. 🍁 Now is the time for letting go. We are multidimensional beings & meant to flow with these energetic rhythms. Release yourself from these self-made chains. Energies will be pushing for shifts towards new beginnings.

The Equinox is a powerful portal gateway of ascension into higher levels of consciousness. Awareness. Being. At this time of unity, the feminine & masculine merge as one, opening opportunities to unify duality within our selves, and expand our awareness to greater levels.

Mercury Shifts into Libra 9/21

Mercury is going to be opposing Chiron (in Aries) and also is squaring Saturn & the Sun during this upcoming Full Moon. The Sun is our expression and Mercury is the Mind. With the Sun and Mercury in Libra, there is balance being brought to an otherwise very critical mind.

The combination of the Sun and Moon represents ego with emotions and feelings, but when the Sun is in combination with Mercury, it represents the influence our conscious mental attitude has.

Mercury in Libra is sensitive, artistic, socially aware, politically mature, attracted to the arts, and able to transform the commonplace into the beautiful.

Libra often weighs the strengths and weaknesses in a matter and makes judgements based on the facts without letting feelings get in way. Although you may not want to speak up all the time and deter from conflict often, do not silence your truth for the sake of others. Libra also is the sign of one-to-one partnerships; thus you tend to think and talk a great deal about relationships, especially those which involve love and romance. Since Libra energies do tend to focus on partnerships and idealize romantic attachments and partners- these ideals will be at the forefront during this Libra season.

Full Moon in Aries 9/24

On 9/24 at 7:54pm Pacific Time, we have a Full Moon in the Sign of Aries at 1 degree and Sun at 1 degree of Libra.

We have officially moved from earthy Virgo, the intelligent healer- into airy Libra, mind and balance.

Libra's archetype is Ma'at, the Ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice. Backing away and bringing balance into the chaotic world. The mirror between ourselves and others is heightened, so we can learn, share, observe, collaborate and share. Observing these polarities of life. Heaven and Earth. Darkness and Light. As Above, so Below. Masculine and Feminine. Giving and Taking. Ying and Yang.

Libras think logically, reflecting intuitively, and making the necessary means to find balance in all areas of your life. All from the reflection of Beauty. and for what stimulates the heart. You are sick of these repeated karmic patterns and are building the strength to make the necessary changes in your life permanently.  This in turn is purging the kidneys of old fears and settling into a more supportive partnerships, improving upon current relationships, home security and financial/resourceful bases too.

Adding to this balance of self and others, we have mars approaching its south node square to uranus. Depending what house these signs land in, Libra energies will be highlighting partnerships of business, family, past lives/karmic ties, and intimate relationships. Old wounds may be coming up at this time, we are healing our sexuality and our individuality. This can be an uncomfortable or tough time for some right now.Breathe, slow down, take your time, it is a new season. Let go of what is out of your control, and take the reins of your heart to take the lead on this journey.

ARIES

Fiery Aries, the First sign of the zodiac, ruled by Mars, is the first sign of the zodiac.

Aries are naturally very energetic and high-spirited. Aries can be mistaken for selfish for their fiercely independence—the desire to be first in everything, taking whatever risks necessary.

Aries thrives on challenge, and often feels that they must battle their own way through life, depending upon no one and nothing but own strength, intelligence, and courage. Aries energy is all about honesty, being true to oneself and one’s own vision and convictions, even if that means standing alone. Aries is fuming through with this energy right now.

As you can see, these signs are totally opposite when it comes to the idea of Me, they, and We. With the sun 1 degree in Libra, this balance of the self and other is highlighted right now, How can we connect and use this firey individual passion to connect to others on a deeper level as well as our community?

We are having a reality check with all our relationships right now. With Saturn in Capricorn, he is checking weak relationships right now and solidifying strong ones. Saturn wants you to be real although you may want to always keep the peace, you cant keep silencing your truth. Speak your truth, trust yourself. Find balance in what you need and let go of the rest. Free yourself from expectations. These tests will arise. If you have these transits in your 5th, 7th, or 11th house; relationships will definitely be heightened right now. You can either be coming out unhealthy relationship, knowing this is the time to let it go for good. Maybe it was going great for you at a time, but that spark you had with this person before- is no longer there. We are evolving. Relationships are evolving. For some a relationship or person may be coming out of the blue, or this could be a time of reviving relationships.

With Venus in Scorpio forming a T Square with Mars Aquarius and Uranus in early taurus- this urge for freedom in our relationships is highlighted. Is there balance?? Is there possessiveness, obsession, or toxicity and anger in the relationship that is sucking the energy out of you?

Now is the time to observe all relationships right now and create a tone within your relationships that set a positive, calm resonance that you deserve to live in. Listen to your inner voice.

DIRECT OPPOSITION TO SUN IN LIBRA, AND CHIRON IS CONJUNCT ARIES 0 DEGREES.

Chiron, the wounded Healer, is currently in Aries at its last degrees before it shifts into retrograde in the sign of Pisces. During this Full Moon, Chiron plays a huge roll as it is conjunct to the Moon.

Massive messages are coming through to find this trust within ourselves. With the Sun opposing wounded Chiron, we acknowledge what happened in the past, happened in the PAST. We can no longer bring past pains into our new relationships, environments, and new patterns we are forming. Chiron in Aries has forced us to go through this healing work so we can initiate into the healers that we are. These wounds are illuminated and cant be put off no more. Allow these old patterns and stories to give you the strength to purge, make the necessary adjustments with ourselves, and trusting in these changes. We are surrendering to what is needed to heal our strength, willpower, and individuality. We are healing this inner warrior and embracing it. On the 25th Chiron will enter the sign of Pisces for its retrograde; validating these lessons we have been receiving since 2010!!

Things are shifting and we know what needs to be done. Theres so much movement flowing for you. Enough with the doubts. Those arent even resonating at all and you know it.

Let your heart guide you. As you forgive and learn from your past, you experience more love in these present moments.

We must find this relationship with Self, so that we can continue to have this relationship with others- while staying grounded in our self, our mission our destinys.

Take that breathe of relief and release. we know that we are connected to something bigger than what society has portrayed and engrained in us.

There is still an ongoing square with Mars in Aquarius right now, and Mars is also the ruler of Aries. Aries also rules the head, which can explain any neckache, migraines, tension in the head. Many times we get stuck in our heads and then we feel stuck or stagnant. Although this placement can be eruptive, you are finding new ways to demand freedom and channel this anger into a positive manner!

We are healing our capability to initiate these new patterns. We are ending these long themes of wounded, oppression, loss of control. There is not time for further self-victimization. The Full moon is illuminating these wounds.

Where did you hide or give away your power? 

where did people press ideas of what you should be instead of allowing you to be who you are?

We are healing these individual parts of ourselves and accepting. This is not going to be always easy, but acknowledging these things is definitely worth it for our overall wellbeing.

How can you bring balance with Self and others into your life?

Libra is special because they focus on relationships and strives for balance, but first there must be that relationship with Self so that others can thrive. Allow yourself to observe these relationships. How can you serve and love yourself more? How can you receive love openly? What is holding you back from receiving this love? We must find this balance of our own needs and wants and also take into consideration of others as well, so this energy can flow more naturally.

It is our job to direct our energies. To not let the mind control us, but us control the mind. To not have this question between whether listening to the mind or to the heart; but finding that balance between both. Allowing this divine feminine energy to guide you to embrace the masculine to put action into your healing and being. We are making things right one step at a time. There is no more time for self-doubt, we are completely transmuting these old ways of thinking.

If you hold onto these energies, you are going to feel it. This something that is weighing you down, this density in your emotional body. Release that weight on your shoulders. Release that weight sitting at the seat of your power, the solar plexus. You may have been feeling weak as hell lately, some of us may have really felt like giving up at certain parts in these lives.

but guess what, you didnt! And if you did? You're standing up again. You're breathing. With Libra Season here, this balance is necessary in ALL areas and it is coming up.

We are healing the masculine and the feminine. The warrior within. We are healing our capability to initiate these new patterns into our life; with compassion and understanding not just for others; but ourselves most importantly.

Things are balancing out in this world although it may not seem. It is up to us to make these necessary changes that we want to see. Maybe things may have seemed confusing in the past weeks and you have felt an intense amount of pressure. Now is the time for that pressure to be released. You know what your Soul desires. Everything is being revealed. You are in perfect alignment with your journey. There is no more time for stepping on egg shells and not wanting to step into your full bright ass light. Now is the time! Set the intentions that you are open to receive this transformative energy.

There is so much excitement and healing that is continuing to come our way. Allow yourself to step into your authentic self. Not everyone has to agree with your truth, like you, or agree. Do what ignites the flame within your Soul. If you dont "fit" in you dont "fit" in. It is time to stop rejecting yourself because of what silly people have told you in the past. No more self-rejection, more self-love. Look back to the March Equinox and think about how far you have come. You are beautiful. You are healed. No need to compete. No need to hold on any longer. No more chasing people, attention, or material things. You are so worthy and have everything you need within you. These burdens and unfulfilling connections are being released.

Remember these lessons that you have learned throughout this year as you move forward!! Constant reminders, constant lessons, constant growth.

Sending so much love your way during this beautiful time. Thank you!
