Crescent Moon Phase: persevere

Moon in Sagittarius

Skill: release control

Negative Imprint: loneliness, fear about security, disconnected, resistance, selfishness, sabotaging others

Positive Imprint: adjusting, responding, practicality, warmth, what is truly worthwhile shows, essence

Changes are upon us today, and the energy prompts feelings of being blown off course, destabilized, or lost in space.  This is happening during a lunar month where we are undergoing a massive shift (upgrade), so we are already off-kilter a bit since we are "in flux" to certain degree.  When we shift or change from one way to another, we go from the familiar to the unknown.  Emotionally, it's unsettling.  But with a shift in perspective, it can become an adventure - like being in the middle of a mystery.

Loss of control is part of it, too.  When cosmic shifts are occurring, no human force is going to stop it.  So we do not try.  We recognize when something much greater than us is at work.  We release the struggle and then we can breathe again.  Releasing is freeing.

Another major energetic theme today centers around the notion and feeling of "home."  Our hearts desire comfort, familiarity, and security.  It's always a good day to show that you care, but even more so today, especially with anything "homey." Light a candle as a reminder of the light.  Cook and share a savory meal as a testament to the fact that life is good.  Play your favorite tunes and let the music of the spheres settle inside.

Since things are so much "in process" right now, the feeling of home may be far away from you today.  The energy tends toward loneliness, separation, abandonment, and even bitterness.  If this is your experience today, it is your job to light that fire inside your own heart and connect with something deeper than the comfort of the material world.  Fire resides in the heart and the embers are readily turned into blazes.  If "home" eludes you today, call upon the mother energy of the planet and receive her love.  We are loved beyond our capacity to integrate it, so there is more than enough to fill everyone.

There is a certain practicality that comes with today's energy, particularly putting our own wisdom and experience into practice or into a form that shares it.  The transference of knowledge and wisdom (much of which is returning from ancient times within the field of consciousness) is happening at an exponential rate.  Pure expressions of wisdom are coming in rapidly.  If you heart leans you to express something along these lines, follow it.

Warmth and renewal is the mission of this lunar month's energy.  We are responding to it - adjusting - as needed.  We are being called in different directions and following along, following the mystery.  Today we feel more like we are being pushed along.  That's ok when you trust who is pushing you.

(Note: I will join Alexandra Meadors of www.galacticconection.com on her BBS Radio Show today at 3:00 pm PT today.  Archive recording of the show will be posted here if you are unable to make it then.)

Crescent Moon Phase: challenges

Moon in Sagittarius

Skill: practice the skill of being the observant wise owl; follow the mystery

Negative Imprint: missed opportunities, temptation, division, outbursts, breaking, scattered

Positive Imprint: expression, purity, nurturance, guardianship, kindness, focus, shift

Four days into our journey to follow this month's unfolding mystery, the Sun sends us a message just to be sure we are following along.

An M5.1-class coronal mass ejection (CME) was released Saturday at 10:58 pm ET/Sunday at 02:58 am UT.  (For newer readers, we look at the position of the Moon at the time of the flare to most precisely determine the nature of the energetic effects.  All of the planets are activated, but the Moon gives us the most precise message.)

The Sabian symbol of the degree of the Moon at the time of the CME is "a woman drawing aside two dark curtains that closed the entrance to a sacred pathway."  This is the symbol for mysteries revealed.

The Moon was in close conjunction (at the same place in the sky) with Saturn at the time of the CME.  Mysteries are revealed to restructure.

There are currently four sunspot groups with active regions, so we will see if any other messages are destined for us today.  The Moon will conjunct Mars at 2:30 pm ET/6:30 pm UT today; the Sun may amp Mars' energy just as Saturn's energy was amped.

What was concealed is now revealed.  What is revealing for you?

We are under energetics that are like a month-long Full Moon, bringing the clarity of the fullest light.  This brings to light whatever is needed to venture down new paths, investigate new opportunities, and enter new territory.  With this we are required to muster - muster courage to follow and change.

Today's energy also requires a gentle, nurturing approach.  Underlying elements of fear and division have been deeply imprinted into the signatures of today's energetics.  This causes a generalized uneasy feeling within the collective.  We will re-imprint this energy by guarding, protecting, and caring for the people, places, and things we love, all that is natural order.  We will keep a keen owl eye on events today, and we will not succumb to the tired tactic (trick) of divide and conquer.

Today's energy also brings a sense of urgency to get on with something.  It brings wonderful energy for focused attention.  The energy may go the other way also, pressing the avoidance of something by drifting off with distractions.  Don't be hard on yourself if you are working the distracted end.  Your psyche is processing all the information and changes that are happening in its own time.  We all process information (light) at the rate that is best for us (and certain astrological aspects affect this rate at different times).  Detach if it is emotionally overwhelming, but try not to turn away from what you are seeing.

This energy can be shattering.  It "busts up" consciousness and creates shifts.  Be receptive to where it is taking you.  It's goal is to rearrange all of the parts as it integrates all of the parts.  This is inner change and it enables us to become more of who we are.

If the energy becomes overwhelming at times today, work with it by shifting your focus back to the idea of the mystery that is being revealed to us today.  Step back and take an objective view.  Ask yourself where the mystery might be leading you.

Saturday, September 27 - Sunday, September 28, 2014

Saturday: New Moon Phase: initiate

Moon in Scorpio

Skill: maintain the stance of the wise owl in the tree observing

Negative Imprint: forceful ill will, feeling alienated and isolated, neglect of self and others, pushing forward too hard, propaganda, chasing, stuck in fear or impulsively driven by fear

Positive Imprint: warmth, renewal, stories, golden opportunities, clearing, uplifted, clarity, insight, shapes, eagerness, grounding visions, inspiration

Saturday's energy varies greatly with Sunday's energy, so the reports are split in two this weekend.

Saturday's energy engages us in this month's unfolding mystery.  The power of visualization is exceptionally high, as is creativity.  We want to maximize this opportunity and reinforce our visions and dreams for our lives and our world.  It's a day to visually project all of our ideas (project our projects).  It is very important that we stick to what we know to be true, and even more important that we "ground" that notion into the field of consciousness.  Picture it.

If an opportunity comes along that seems too good to be true, this is a day to take a leap of faith.  Mars is located at the degree of a "a theatrical representation of a golden haired goddess of opportunity."  This energy always brings openings and good fortune.  Drama is usually part of it, too, but we want to direct that energy toward empowering our imagination with our visualizations.  Take a chance.

A massive influx of information, insight, and clarity continues as we continue through the lunar cycle that is like a month-long Full Moon.  We want to maintain the stance of the wise owl in the tree, peering out and observing.  Observance is key Saturday.  Keep watch.  Wisdom is being revealed to us through what we see, so stay in the mindset of following the mystery and the clues that are being shown to you.

If what you see or what you feel is upsetting, jump above the situation to a "higher branch," if you will.  Your inner guidance will lead you to expand and uplift your perspective and will lead into Sunday's energy for resolution.  The way to handle any stress or distress today is to go above it.  We take the high road.

The Sacred Masculine, which has been rising and returning since November 2013, is called forth today.  This happens as Venus comes to the degree of the last coronal mass ejection: "a bald-headed man who has seized power."  The Sacred Masculine will ground its intentions in the field of consciousness today.  If something within you calls, answer it.  It may show up as needing to defend or assist someone (or yourself) today.  Heed the call of your inner warrior.  Make your mark.

Speaking of making marks, the Mahavidya Shodashi, Goddess Who Fulfills Our Highest Desires, joins us Saturday.  She will be assisting as the day's mystery unfolds.

Sunday: Crescent Moon Phase: persevere

Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius

Skill: find answers in the patterns

Negative Imprint: obsession with "the ideal," general dissatisfaction, tantrums, losing common sense, failing to acknowledge, trapped, outbursts, confusion, helplessness

Positive Imprint: crystallization of answers and ideas, solutions, illumination, hope, objectivity, simple answers, impetus to change or shift, wisdom, patience, steady progress

Sunday's energy is all about solutions.  Consternation and frustration give way to answers and insight.  The energy is vivid and can bring stark confrontations with truth.  All this month, how we respond to what develops in our lives and in our world at large vastly influence the future.  Wise owls face truth with courage, knowing we are not alone, but linked together in spiritual mission.

Emotions, thoughts, and feelings tend to break loose or spill out with Sunday's energetic signatures.  Things that have built up or have been concentrated tend to burst out.  Be careful with what you say and do.  Be respectful.  Come from a place of love.  Recognize that sometimes things have to break loose in order to be released, revealed, or freed.

The Mahavidya Chinnamasta assists with these things today.

When looking for solutions Sunday, look to the ancient ways, the ancient sources.  Wisdom is found in the old mysteries, not new ones today.  If you find yourself confused or at an emotional loss, something will speak to you to pursue.  It may be an old book that has always given you what you need or a new book that speaks of the ancient wisdom.  In this way, the universe responds to us.

As we are finding answers, we want to make sure we are not focusing too heavily on one side of anything.  This energy is holistic in that it wants to integrate all parts into a whole.  So overemphasizing one element of anything is not a good idea.  It could box us in or trap us.  Maintain balance and common sense.

We want to take special care to attend to our physical bodies this weekend.  The intensity of the cycle has become apparent since the New Moon, and our physical bodies bear the brunt of it.  Reconnect mind, body, and spirit, and tend to your temple if you've neglected it lately.

As I discussed in the latest audio recording, books and stories are highlighted this month.  You are the main character in your own story, which is part of a much grander story.  This weekend, we follow along the illumined path, observant and vigilant.  And remember, the natural world always reveals to us what we need to know.  Look for it and find beauty.

Friday, September 26, 2014

New Moon Phase: initiate

Moon in Libra/Scorpio

Skill: create the mind space of comfort and ease

Negative Imprint: possessiveness, secrets, jealousy, dependent, over-analyzing, loneliness, the mistaken belief that one is unlovable or unworthy

Positive Imprint: composure, elegance, pioneering, philosophical, existential, sharing, receptive, hospitality, love

Today's energy carries strong social and romantic elements.  This brings a profound desire to connect with others on a deep, shared level.  Presentations, classes, sessions, invitations, and the like are supported under this energy, as it seeks to link people together.

Since the energy drives us to connect on authentic levels, if we do not have connections on a deep, shared level, today's energy will be challenging.  It will press on feelings of isolation, loneliness, and loss.  It can feel like being lost and alone in the woods.

But at the core, we want to be able to be ourselves, comfortable and at ease, accepted and valued for who we are.  Wisdom comes from creating this mind space - this feeling of comfort and ease - within the calm of our psyches.  We create the feeling inside of ourselves, and one day, viola!  We wake up to see that our lives have rearranged around that.  The field changed.  All we did was show up every day and radiate from our hearts, freeing those signals to find resonance with other signals.

This requires belief.

It helps to understand frequency resonance, the universal truth of like attracting like.

It means we amp up who we are and what is in resonance will respond.

So instead of this energy wielding us around in search of something in the external, wise owls do what we usually do - the reverse, or more accurately, the inverse.  Instead of seeking something out there, bring forth something from in here, inside.  Respond to the energy like the acrobatic spiritual warrior of the heart that you are.  Turn it inside out.

Then see what happens.

Additionally today, Mercury spends its last day in Libra, and it goes out with a significant increase in signs, synchronicities, and messages.  Remember that these often come from nature with animal sightings, unusual encounters, and recurring symbols and numbers.  The information we gain will enable us to incorporate different aspects to see a bigger picture of something.

The energy also facilitates bringing the abstract into reality, so projects, ideas, and creations more easily come to life.  Take advantage of this prime opportunity.

As a guide today, respond with the question "Does this bring me peace of mind?"  Your answer will lead you.

New Moon Phase: beginnings

Moon in Libra

Skill: stalk wisdom and respond to whatever crosses your path

Negative Imprint: "know it alls," avoiding personal responsibility, blinded, obligations that drain, refusing to believe anything positive, limitations

Positive Imprint: awakening, clarity, power of believing, make believe, inner child, assistance, imprints, observation, reverence for small/simple things

Today we are runnin' down a dream as new possibilities, opportunities, and alternatives are emerging.  We're working on a mystery and going wherever it leads.

I'm semi-ripping off a Tom Petty song, but the sentiment fits today, as we are stalking wisdom and ready to respond to what crosses our path.

The Sabian symbol of the position of Sabaoth the Sun today is "the dawn of a new day reveals everything changed."  This is the energy of new beginnings, perfectly timed within the New Moon phase.  We see things are different in the light of a new day.  We gain new perspectives, insights, and "Aha!" moments.  Darkness lifts.

Holding on to the past will diminish the highest potential of today's energy.

The energy also brings us a growing understanding of who we really are and how we are playing our role in the grand drama of the story of Gaia Sophia and humanity.  Today's energy tends to have us concerned about how we want to make our mark or, in more practical terms, what we are doing with our lives.  This may produce feelings of failure, limitation, and lack - all Archontic (Rcontick) tricks of the mind.  If these feelings begin to come over or dawn on you, go outside.  Have a conversation with Mother Nature.  Tell her your troubles.  Then listen and watch and feel the stirring inside the heart that happens when we connect with her.  Let down your guard and let her in.

The tendency to over-identify oneself with materiality and the values of the matrix is heightened today.  Externals like social status and prestige, appearance, material wealth, and material possessions are overly highlighted.  Don't get caught in the trap of comparing yourself to others with all of this.  Focus on your own values and what you hold dear.

Venus issues (relationships, love, beauty, money) are pressed to the surface today also.  This comes more in the form of the loss of these things.  Again, following down this path is the wrong way to go because it holds us in the past.  If you are in the past and not willing to change with the road, you will miss opportunities.

As I discussed yesterday, this month will present situations where we are in need of assistance or are providing assistance to someone else.  This may show up today in either form.  Your wisdom can help someone to cope with, understand, or learn something.  What you say can bring the return of hope to someone for whom the truth of matters is clouded.  Reach out.  Your knowledge plus your experience is your wisdom.

On Monday, September 23, a solar fare erupted and a coronal mass was ejected.  This occurred at 7:16 pm ET/11:16 pm UT, seven hours before the New Moon.  The Moon was located at 28 Virgo with the Sabian symbol of "a bald-headed man who has seized power."  This image discusses rushing forward and domination, but the highest octave of the energy is about firmly grounding ourselves with decisions and intentions.  It is an empowering energy that can be used for power in either manner - positive or negative.  I have always wondered about the significance of the "bald-headed man" in this image and my notions of it continue to evolve.  Perhaps there is a message for you within this symbol.

As we are runnin' down our dreams today, let's maintain vigilant awareness that a mystery is unfolding.  Libra is ruled by Eris (and secondarily by Venus) and Eris was called the Goddess of Chaos and Strife.  We see this in abundance with the collective at large and to a different degree within our individual lives right now.  But another one of Eris' names from a different epoch is Isis, the Mistress of Magic.  There is chaos and strife but there is also magic and mystery.  Wise owls are aware of both and respond befittingly as we see new things dawning.

New Moon Phase: emergence of clarity

Moon in Libra

Skill: open your heart to receive wisdom

Negative Imprint: losing touch with reality, avoiding reality, perfectionism, superficial, misleading, anti-humanistic, foolishness

Positive Imprint: potential, initiation, practical, humor, purity, imagination, new paths, enlarged sphere of operation, courage, wonderment, luxury, attraction

Welcome to the New Moon in Libra and a month of the fullest light to see, realize, and understand.

At the new astrological year beginning with the New Moon in Aries on March 30, 2014, we began a new journey - a journey to hike a mountain, the mountain of life.  It has taken six months to reach the peak of this mountain, but now we are here.  From here we have the fullest view of the panorama.  We also have the most light by which to view.  Energetically, since embarking upon our journey the Moon has now grown to be Full and Full Moons provide the most light.

(If you divide the year into eight parts that parallel the eight Moon phases, this part is parallel to the Full Moon phase, so it is like a month-long Full Moon.)

In many ways, we will come to "see the light" over this cycle.  Something dawns on us, mysteries are revealed, and problems are resolved.  We see the truth of many things about our lives and it may be quite stark.  Full light has a tendency to do this.  Our job is to soften the edges and provide more luminosity than harshness of what we are seeing.  If a realization comes on you strong and sharp, step back and slow down the speed.  Gently take the information inside yourself to process at your own pace.  Light can be directed as a laser or as a glow.  The choice is ours how we want to take it.

Full light also makes people loony (which should be spelled luny).  Lunacy has a tendency to show out in all kinds of ways.  This will be most visible during the Full Moon phase beginning October 8, but in effect all month long.  I should also note here that the next cycle, the Scorpio cycle is also like a month-long Full Moon.  We have two cycles for fullest expression and illumination of energies.

The Libra cycle is a cardinal cycle because Libra is a cardinal sign.  Major shifts of consciousness happen with cardinal cycles.  These shifts provide opportunities and openings, and, this year, massive change.  The new world order makes bigger moves during the cardinal cycles (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) because the innate disequilibrium that results from shifting from one thing to another creates an opportunity to control the shift.  We are wise to this and are focused on the shift of mass consciousness toward a world based on freedom, wisdom, beauty, and love.

Since the Libra New Moon is in aspect to the Moon's Nodes, we have a reorientation of the past - past lives and the past in this life. - into the present and projected into the future.  We've worked hard to let go of painful elements of the past, but now the happier ones return.  These are things that have been lost or in shadow.  Follow urges from your heart to learn, create, or revive something.  This may be an interest that was dropped or fell away due to past circumstances.  All kinds of things from the past return this month.

The Return of Wisdom is included in this, and exchanges of spiritual knowledge will spread like wildfire.  The main avenue for this is through stories.  Stories are very, very important this month.  If there is a story inside of you, it will want to come out this month.  If the urge to write comes over you, dismiss thoughts and expectations about what will become of it.  That doesn't matter right now.  The creative act - expression - is what is important.  What happens with the rest of it, if anything, is suspended until another day.

The energy may enter with a feeling that you have been stripped away or stripped down.  It's a good way to enter the Full phase.  It means you come without pretense and are ready for a "moon bath."  Currents of the moon bath wash over us to bring new responses to life, new levels of awareness, and profound inner change.  It is an energetic rebirth.

The energy may increase insomnia, just as it is often harder to sleep during Full Moons.  If it is keeping you up, engage your imagination.  Use the time for a waking dream.

The position of Mercury today tends to prompt a gloomy outlook and despair.  This is part of the process toward recognition of something that is trying to be revealed to us.  This happens before we start to see that things are actually getting better.  A deeper spiritual connection occurs simultaneously as we see how we've been helped along the way.  The process that begins with despair this month ends with profound spiritual insight.  Keep this in mind when interacting with others.  Some may be on the sadder end of the spectrum.  You may be on the sadder end of the spectrum.  That's ok because you know what's going on and can trust that this deep, inner process will bring you to light.

The New Moon phase of the Libra cycle is a time of high magic and the perfect time for a moon bath, even though the Moon is invisible right now.  All things come from the dark void, and what comes this month comes back from long ago.  Let there be light!

Balsamic Moon Phase: release

Moon in Virgo

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess of Beauty) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: look past what is moving away and look toward what is emerging

Negative Imprint: resistance to change, desire to escape, immobilized, self-sabotage, attempting to prevent another's growth

Positive Imprint: transcending, preservation, emergence, nurturance

We come to the end of our journey through the Virgo cycle today, a month where we were blessed with "two guardian angels bringing protection."  I will review the past cycle and provide an overview for what's ahead with the next cycle in an audio recording to be posted later today.

The next cycle, the cycle that begins tomorrow with the New Moon in Libra, brings the maximum amount of light by which to see and act.  It brings the fullest expression of intentions, especially those that were in place back at the New Moon in Aries cycle during April 2014 (the Aries cycle was March 30 through April 28, 2014).  Look back to the conditions and situations, and especially your mindset during that time.  Where do these things stand now?

They may look very different now than they did then, especially after this past cycle that drove us back in line with what is in our highest and best interests.  For many, the course correction traversed rocky terrain, leaving painful injury in its wake.  If you are in the aftermath of this, recovery is on the way.

We deal with the ramifications to changes in our lives and the changes in our world today.  The Sun moves into Libra, which means the Earth moves into Aries, and new opportunities begin to emerge.  New opportunities and brighter futures are what the Wisdom Goddess Shodashi was working towards all along this month.  She was putting us where we need to be.

The lunar month that is ending today had deep energetic signatures of Chiron - the archetypal energy of the wounded healer-teacher.  The New Moon in Virgo made a square to the Chiron Point, activating Chiron energy that would be tapped all month long.  Many readers of the Oracle Report (wise owls) carry strong Chiron codes and are familiar with the pain that accompanies the wounding of Chiron.  This energy delivers one more round today as the Moon builds toward opposition with Chiron around 4:30 pm ET/8:30 pm UT.  Some degree of personal healing takes place for all of us today.  It may be helpful to know that with Chiron, the pain is purposeful, and will lead to a gift you can offer others.  Chiron is experiential, so honor the experiences you are having and rest assured that it will lead you to greater wisdom.

Pluto stations direct today around 8:30 pm ET/12:30 am UT, and as some remember, the day a planet stations retrograde or direct can be rather sticky.  The energy can get wild.  But it will be a welcome shift in the energy to have the "God of the Underworld" moving forward once again.  We have lingered long enough in the underworld of the past.  We have dived far enough down to bring back what we need.  Now we let it go.  Don't hold yourself back because of the way life has been.

With all that you have or all that you can muster today, embrace the newness that is emerging.

Finally, please join me in a standing ovation and bow of thanks to the Mahavidyas Shodashi and Matangi, our guardian angels this month, who have worked double time.  Shodashi brought us back on track and Matangi swept away the debris.  Then turn to yourself and take a bow.  We held the line this month.  To find out what we were holding the line with, tune in later for the audio.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release

Moon in Leo/Virgo

Ruling Madavidyas: Shodashi and Matangi

Skill: embrace the new, release the old

Negative Imprints: locked into limitations, not using common sense, emotional insensitivity, rigid thinking, projection, allowing others to shape us, competetion, scattered

Positive Imprints: ancient wisdom, analysis, answers, signs, integration, tempering with love, focus, staying true to the self, processing information, observance, opportunities

The Moon will make its once-a-month conjunction with the Black Moon Saturday at 8:30 pm ET/12:30 am UT.  Shadow sides will come forth for recognition and integration.  Everyone's shadow sides are pushed to the forefront, some more than others depending on the other aspects happening in their charts.

Fears about change and issues of power (especially power struggles) accompany this energy, but the personal core fear in each of us is activated.  Instincts are triggered, producing a potential for drama.  People will project their own feelings onto others, avoiding taking personal responsibility.  Emotions always run higher when the Moon and the Black Moon come together.  (For more information on your personal shadow side see my book on the Black Moon available for free at www.oraclereport.com.)

Signs, synchronicities and symbols deliver important information during Balsamic Moon phases, but these communications are more active Saturday.  Saturday's energy delivers information to us and Sunday's energy has us putting that into practice.  Sunday's energy also brings the power of precision-focus to complete tasks or unfinished business.

All of this serves to bring new opportunities.  This month has been a month of trusting in a divine hand painting events and brighter futures.  Many things are being swept away to become the dust of the past.  Whatever is leaving your life needs to be left in the dust.

A unique feature of this is that one opportunity is branching out, like a tree, into many opportunities.  As we are aligned with our best course, other things begin to become alive.

Any situations that are troubling, distressful, or confusing should be broken down into their smaller parts in order to see the big picture of what's going on.

The notion of being careful with what you wish for because you just may get it is strongly in effect this weekend.  The power of the mind to imprint reality is optimal, so we want to be clear in our desires.

This lunar month has been a test of trust.  Do you trust the universe's hand in your life?  We can guide our lives, but we are not in control.  A higher part of us which is immersed in Oneness directs our course.  The Sabian symbol for this month is "two guardian angels bringing protection" so we have all the help we need.  Trust the process and trust that it is bringing you where you need to be.  Look for wisdom in ancient sources or sources that espouse the ancient knowledge.  Pay close attention to nature.

The Goddess of Beauty, Shodashi, in collaboration with the Goddess of the Wind, Matangi, prepares to close out their month with the New Moon in Libra on Tuesday.  Shodashi is bringing the new and Matangi is sweeping out the old.  Trust what is beginning and let go of what is ending.

The Second Renaissance is happening right before our eyes.

Balsamic Moon Phase: dream

Moon in Leo

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess of Beauty) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: release what has not worked

Negative Imprint: dominating others thoughts, indecision based on multiple options, need for absolute truth or proof, imbalance, jealousy, pushiness, avoiding personal responsibility

Positive Imprint: equilibrium, fertility, lofty heights of creativity, fulfillment, grounded power, force of pure intent, assistance from spiritual sources, curiosity, beauty

Balsamic Moon phase is the time when we not only weed our "mental garden," the landscape of our minds, but also envision several options of what we might want the new garden to look like.

To facilitate this, lofty heights of creativity are reached under today's energy.  This means we have abundant power to weed out and release whatever no longer contributes to the vibrant life of our mental garden and its parallel expression in the outer world.  

The feelings, thoughts, beliefs, outcomes, circumstances, and consequences that have developed in your life since the New Moon in Aries (the astrological new year which began on March 30, 2014) can be removed.  They can be pulled out - weeded out - under today's energetics. 

Any type of meditation, visualization, or therapeutic modality where the focus is on removal of what is no longer in line with us is potent magic.  There are all kinds of ways to envision and work with this: picture effervescent dust evaporating it; imagine winding a rope around it and pulling it out; etherically pull it out with your bare hands; mentally wield a knife and cut it out with surgical precision; conjure a bonfire and throw it in to be forged anew from the flame

The point is to take control of your vision.

Today's energy brings us in whispering distance of inner wisdom and otherworldly guidance.  This is a time when two-way communication is more viable energetically.  We are inclined toward wanting answers, but we should also offer preferences.  What do you want for your own future and the future of the world?  State this aloud.  The Universe is listening and wants to hear.  Inject your voice into the dream.  This is very, very important today.  The wishes of the contingent of humanity who understand that this is a time to voice our wishes ripple throughout the galaxy.

Today, release what has not worked out the way you wanted it to.  We are approaching the midpoint of the astrological and natural year - the time of the inner light of a Full Moon.  In order to light up as best we can then, we need to take out whatever is dimming now.

Thursday, September 18, 2014

Balsamic Moon Phase: dream

Moon in Cancer/Leo

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (The Goddess of Beauty) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: find beauty

Negative Imprint: neglect, smugness, tantrums, overstating issues, elitism, condescension, disasters, projection of feelings onto others to avoid personal responsibility

Positive Imprint: fruition, quiet knowing, catharsis, sharing time, friendship, celebration, reaping rewards, inspiration, creativity, nourishment, mystery

Like an explosion, new inspirations, opportunities, ideas, and thoughts blow through us today.  It's a rapid-fire tour de force, but it carries a high degree of elegance.  This is the signature of the Wisdom Goddess Shodashi, the Goddess of Beauty, who washes over us today to lift us into a dream.

This is timed precisely with the dreamy Balsamic phase of the Moon, which enters today.  Balsamic phase is the "phase between time" when the veils between the worlds are diaphanous.  It is the time to surrender and release into the mystic.  It is a time of refreshment of hopes, wishes, and dreams.

Today's energetics favor taking things slowly and methodically.  There is no need to rush.  The most effective way to do this is to stay in the moment.  Attach to the peaceful elements underlying this energy.

The lower octave of explosions is also present, of course.  Venus has reached the degree of "a volcanic explosion," bringing high potential for confrontations in relationships.  Catharsis is always implied with this energy.  Things that have been held inside are released.  The Sun passed through this degree last week so some (or all) of what was built up has already been discharged.  Aim for peace and if emotional strife ensues, ask yourself if the situation is really about what is happening currently.

Situations are ripe with fullness as we head into the New Moon in Libra, which is a month-long equivalent of a Full Moon.  Take some time out during the Balsamic phase to look back and reflect on where you are and how far you have come.  Share your time with others.  But more importantly, celebrate the beauty of life and dream.

(Note for those with the Sun or Black Moon in Leo or Aquarius:  The Moon enters Leo today, bringing another two-day period for a purging of the past and reorientation toward the new.  Allow the changes to form in your life without resistance.  Whatever is changing is in the best interests of your soul and you will not lose; you will only gain from it.)

Third Quarter Moon Phase: take responsibility

Moon in Cancer

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess Who Fulfills Highest Desire) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: be thoughtful and cautious; show the love

Negative Imprint: control, anger, impulsivity, domination, showing off, unsupportive, unloving acts, fights, war

Positive Imprint: diversifying, mastery, courage, self-control, small tokens/shows of appreciation and love, respect, hope

An influx from Sabaoth the Sun continues today with an incoming coronal mass ejection from a magnetic filament that erupted near the center of the Sun four days ago.  I have not been able to locate information on the time of the eruption to read the energetics of the emission, so we wil focus on the energetics in place today.

Mercury (communication, messages) conjuncts the North Node (destiny) and Eris (rebirth) at the Eris Point today.  People will respond to this in different ways.  The lowest octave of this energy causes verbal outbursts, arguments, miscommunications. and saying things before we know it.  Usually these are things that need to be said, but light can be blinding, and people recoil.  Be cautious and thoughtful.  Impulsive action with forward planning is not recommended.  Self-control is vital.

The highest octave of the energy brings us information that aligns us with our destiny and brings us toward wholeness.  The Mahavidya Shodashi will be hard at work utilizing these energetic signatures to draw us into closer alignment with what is in the best interests of the course of our lives.

Today, renewed hope is available by giving reverance and respect to tasks and routines.  Everyday activities can be a source of strength and grounding when energies are strong, as they are now and have been for a couple of weeks.  Think of the mundane tasks of daily life in a different way - with gratitude for the security they bring.

There is a delicate undercurrent to the strong conflicts that can dominate today.  It is found by taking loving care.  Small actions reverberate along Shodashi's waves through the field of humanity.  What we do for one, we do for all.  Let's show the love today.

(The primary "battle" with darkness does not take place outside the self in the external world.  It takes place inside of ourselves through the inner planes of time-space.  WIth that, it is a happy day for me to share with the parliament of wise owls across the world a magnificent act of power - a novel brought forth for the Second Renaissance, the Return of Wisdom, by wise owl Sol Luckman.  In terms of what wise owls find fun, get ready for the ride of a lifetime.  You won't want to stop.

Here's Oracle Report Facebook Administrator Andrew's review of Snooze: A Story of Awakening from amazon.com:

"I came across a review of Snooze posted on Facebook last Thursday, and, having nothing else in the queue, bought the e-version and started reading. 3 late nights later (sorry kids for being somewhat absent for Labor Day weekend) I am transformed.

One of the greatest parts of fiction in my world is when an author seamlessly blends the science and the story together into a new and Amazing world that I would love to enter myself. And for all of us "pseudo-scientists" for whom noetics is old hat, to see our theories brought to life warms the heart and the soul.

As a story-teller, I am so glad to meet you Sol Luckman. Your use of character dialog to explain the complexities of time-space succeeds where the academic descriptions lose 99% of the audience. What was it that Einstein said? "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

Third Quarter Moon Phase: completion

Moon in Gemini/Cancer

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess Who Fulfills Highest Desire) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: remain grounded and centered

Negative Imprint: disassociation, disconnection, hatred, racial violence, stress, battling

Positive Imprint: recognition, closure/completion, traditional wisdom, obstacles removed, protection, accomplishment

All month long, this lunar cycle's energy is of "two guardian angels bringing protection" has been in effect.  We will remember this today. 

There is a confluence of energies that may turn things sad or bring about grief.  Issues of loss are highlighted by many of today's Sabian symbols.  It is a prime opportunity for a false flag event.  Awareness of this potential has wise owls holding the line.

The energy also brings a need to re-evaluate things and carry them through to completion.  The questions to ask are "What do you value?" and "What has been learned from the past?"  These insights guide us today.

The Wisdom Goddesses Shodashi and Matangi remain hard at work to bring the courses of our lives into better alignment with what is in our highest and best interests, and sweeping away what is not.  It is quite a feat.  Things have been chaotic since the Super Full Moon and emotions are running high.  Our job is to remain centered and to remember that life is beautiful.  Life is worth living.  When sadness or grief creeps into our hearts, it is a time for recognition.  We can honor our experiences, no matter the outcome, and become wiser from them.

We can re-imprint this energy by acknowledging or giving tribute to things - showing love in all kinds of ways.  We can hold the mindset that we are bridging into the Second Renaissance, the return of sanity with natural world order - no matter what the matrix looks like.  A free humanity is the divine plan.

Go outside and re-establish a strong, grounded connection with Gaia Sophia today.  Nature heals all and she is always at hand.

Third Quarter Moon Phase: take personal responsibility

Moon in Gemini

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess of Beauty) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: adapt

Negative Imprint: avoidance, unfair advantage, nervousness, escapism, denial, cut-off

Positive Imprint: charisma, power to turn things around, uplifting, purity, resonance (like attracting like)

Today, emotions are whipped up like an ocean covered in whitecaps.  We will dive below the surface, where it is calmer and more stable.

Things can easily go far out of proportion and out of control today.  This produces a shadow of confusion over the truth or reality of things.  Situations become muddled, stupefying our minds.  This is a trick of manipulation.  We regain a state of clarity and equilibrium when we calm the emotions, go into our center, and turn things around.  We hold the line of truth.

Another signature of today's energy involves the need to compromise.  Even when goals and motivations are the same, compromise is often required.  We want to use our skills to adapt to what is needed for the highest and best for all involved. 

Today's energy also tempts us to spend energy searching for something that has been lost or taken away.  It also has us searching for answers.  Searches are usually wonderful adventures, but this energy takes things out of proportion to the point of being obsessive.  It pushes a need for control.  It's better just to get on with things.  Most importantly, we trust in divine order.

A great healer and bright light returned to the Spirit on September 11, 2014.  Reverend Pam Plauche of www.galacticconnection.com dispatched darkness from this world on an unparalleled scale.  From all the wise owls of the world, "Bravo, Pam!  We salute you and we will miss you."  In her honor, we continue to hold the line.

Disseminating Moon Phase: share

Moon in Gemini

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess Who Brings Our Highest Desires) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: be receptive to messages, information, and changes

Negative Imprint: plunging into situations without thought of consequence, the need to be noticed through showing off, inflexible, control, attempts to extinguish light

Positive Imprint: truth, skillful navigation, faith, courage, psychic sensitivity, downloads from Spirit

What's on the wind today?  Matangi, Wisdom Goddess who is the Goddess of the Wind, is close at hand, whispering words that sweep through our souls.  Spiritual parts of us want to come into conscious expression, so it is important to be listening to the inner voice today. 

Many different messages, information, and changes are delivered today.  Mercury is in opposition to Uranus, bringing these messages, information, and changes swiftly - often shockingly or out of the blue and in the form of rejections.  The Moon's transit through Gemini magnifies these themes.  When Uranus is involved, we are ALWAYS saved by our rejections.  Shodashi uses Uranus' influence of change to divert our course back toward what is in line with the best interests of our souls.  This line always leads us closer to home.

This energy brings the tendency to act impulsively, but the wisdom is to "sit" with the impulses (or messages, information, or changes) for a bit to give us time to understand the motivation and depth involved.

Control issues are heightened today.  The highest expression of this theme is self-mastery, so direct any feelings of needing to control toward yourself.  When Mercury and Uranus are in opposition, people's views and words can clash.  Things come out of our mouths before we know it.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but respect is paramount.

The position of Venus today, "a bride with her veil snatched away" will bring many things to light.  Veils that mask truth are torn off.  This contributes to the shock factor that is so pronounced with the day's energy.

Listen closely to your inner voice today and let Matangi's winds guide you along the coastline.  The way is shown.

Disseminating Moon Phase: share

Moon in Taurus

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess of Beauty) and Matangi (Goddess of Wind)

Skill: believe and trust

Negative Imprint: dishonor, lies, foolishness, excuses, betrayal, escapism, issues of security

Positive Imprint: valor, commitment, protection, representation, exposure of lies, cleaning and clearing

Within the midst of intense solar activity, we find the calm in the storm today.  The calm produces an opening - en eye.  Today, we punch through that opening.

We bring a long heritage, a long lineage with us.  We are rooted and grounded with our ancestors.  We honor their memory by maintaining integrity and honor.  We strengthen the lineage of humanity by holding the line with all that is good.

This month's energy is drawing us back in line with what is in the highest and best interests of our souls.  As I mentioned earlier in the week, what is good for the soul is often hard on the human.  The lines of our lives are crossing all over the place.  People are crossing the lines in good ways and bad ways.  Fools abound.

From all of this, we receive revelations of spirit and truth which we will begin to implement and manifest.  This begins in small ways now and expands exponentially over the next lunar cycle, the Libra cycle, which begins on September 24.  New information is getting ready to break through in a concerted wave.

Even the most solid foundations are rocked by the sonic wave of Shodashi, this month's ruling Mahavidya (Wisdom Goddess).  Sometimes the course we are on is far off from where we should be or want to be.  In these cases, the course corrections can be quite upsetting and destabilizing.  Take a gander of this volcanic eruption with sonic boom in Papua, New Guinea recorded on August 29, a few days after the beginning of Shodashi's cycle.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuOp5nbXe_4

Sonic Shodashi.

The thing to remember is that we are being divinely guided.  Believe it.  Trust it.  It will bring you through the storm and to the calm of the eye.  Shifts of focus come about from this.  We've been holding the line all month and now we are going to line up and follow Shodashi's line and she leads us through to the calm.  Today, follow the course.  Go with the flow.  Be the calm.

(Stay tuned for a separate report tomorrow.  And please find those snapshots of beauty and send them in!)

Full Moon Phase: illumination

Moon in Aries/Taurus

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess of Beauty) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: find goodness

Negative Imprint: death

Positive Imprint: life

Sabaoth the Sun released an X1.6-class flare with coronal mass ejection yesterday at 1:45 pm ET/5:45 pm UT.  To determine the most specific Earth-affecting energetic imprint of the flare, we look to the energy that the Moon was disseminating at the time of the flare.  The Moon was located at the degree of "a flock of wild geese."  This symbol discusses spreading our wings and taking flights of freedom.  It speaks to iberation and heightened attunement to the rhythms and cycles of the planet.

The lower octave of the energy produces feelings of not knowing where we are going and disenfranchisement with poor leadership.

We don't exactly know where we are going, but we know we are being lead by a higher power - a good leader.  We also know that all month long we have the guidance and protection of two guardian angels (the Sabian symbol for the current lunar cycle).

With this, today's energy moves us on.  We feel the need to move on to other things and other ways.  Using a feather from one of the "flock of wild geese" as a quill, Shodashi draws us into closer alignment with the highest expressions of our destinies.  It may not look or feel grand now, but it is.

It is a good idea to take breaks today - many of them.  This will help us better complete or accomplish what needs to be done.  Today's energy has deep, painful, and sad energetic imprints.  This fact makes it hard for us to concentrate on things because we are naturally pulled toward this strong wave (since it is so deeply and powerfully set).  We go about our business, awake and aware of the potential for geopolitical hijinks, but the predominant energy attempts to pull us down.  It's over there off to the side trying to reel us in.  Taking many breaks (mini-breaks) and taking many deep breaths helps wise owls move through this energy.

This means we cannot linger in the past.  The past is dissolving, revealing the true "promised land."  The world we want to have and the life we want to live exists.  We are pulling toward it, merging realities.

Today is a good day to give thanks (thanks, Shodashi and Matangi!) for our blessings and gifts.  It is a good day to practice things - many things - but especially patience.  It is a good day to recognize patterns.  It's a good day for quiet reflection.  It is a good day to know you can weather storms.

It is a good day.  The Sun shines.  Children sing.  Flowers bloom.  Birds fly.  Love lasts.

Full Moon Phase: realization

Moon in Aries

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess Who Fulfills Highest Desire) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: keep it simple, sweetie

Negative Imprint: super-competitive, conflict, conflict with self, dull routine, insensitivity, self-minimization, immaturity, jealousy

Positive Imprint: wisdom, giving and receiving, imagination, wonderment, dreams, reward, charms, charming

As the supermoon continues, lightning strikes to re-ignite and illuminate paths of destiny - some being long-forgotten paths.  An ancient part of ourselves that lies deep within responds to a "stirring" within the energy.

Do you remember the joy of being pulled in a wagon or pushed in a wheelbarrow?  If the ride is fast, it can be a little scary because someone else is essentially in control of what happens to us.  But at the same time, it can be fun.  This month's energy is like this, except we are driven by a higher spiritual force.

The changes can be shocking, especially if what is happening is a dramatic change.

Today's energy brings out streaks of competition and a stances of dominance.  Internal struggles of power and external struggles of power of all kinds are being waged.  If you are facing yourself and struggling, surrender to the flow and accept the wisdom that is emerging.

The wisdom within the Sabian symbols today tells us that simplicity and imagination are the most effective ways to navigate circumstances.  Repeating the phrase, "I release to simplicity and imagination" will switch your focus and bring relief.

The Wisdom Goddess Shodashi teaches the elegance of simplicity.  She teaches us about the power of simplicity to be far-ranging.  In a way it's similar to how a lower-frequency wave travels father.  In this sense, "lower" does not mean "lesser."  Shodashi works with waves and the force of her teaching comes in waves.  Today is one of those days of waves.

To simplify, today's energy carries us along a course that aligns us toward the highest possibilities of our soul's expression and mission.  Let's engage our imaginations and go along for the ride!

(Note:  A good way to engage the imagination is to connect with the inner child.  Thinking back to what you liked to do as a child often brings insight and solutions to many things, even emotional issues. Coloring mandalas is a good technique to kickstart the process.  Click here to download and print the Oracle Report logo/mandala by wise owl Szabi.)

Full Moon Phase: realization

Moon in Pisces/Aries

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess Who Fulfills Highest Desire) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: flow with the energy instead of trying to drive it

Negative Imprint: overblown feelings, doubts about personal capabilities, feeling out of one's depth, continually searching for information at the expense of inner wisdom

Positive Imprint: laser-like powers to cut through and reveal, learning from the past, choosing differently, openness to inspiration

About an hour before the Full Moon, at 8:39 pm EDT/12:39 am UTC last night, the Sun released an M4.5- class flare with coronal mass ejection (CME).

At that time, the Moon was located at 15 Pisces 35 right in line with Chiron at 15 Pisces 20.  In other words, the Moon, an hour away from supermax, had just met up with Chiron, picking up all of Chiron's energy - all that Chiron had to offer.  

The Sabian symbol for this degree is "in a quiet moment, a creative individual experiences the flow of inspiration."  This symbol is a perfect explanation of how this month's ruling Wisdom Goddess Shodashi works. 

(It also belies the fact that the Sun and the Earth, both divine beings, are working in collaboration.  But this is a story for another day.)

This symbol discusses how the flow, the course, the destiny of our lives is guided by higher sources.  We are not in control when this symbol is highlighted.  Fighting against the energy is futile.  So is trying to move it forward.  Relaxing into it with a neutral mindset is best.  Relaxing into it may be a bit ambitious, but we can surely "go neutral" with anything.  Going neutral expends no (as in zero) energy.

In essence, the solar flare and CME empowered divine efforts to bring us into proper alignment with what is in our highest and best interests at the soul level.  This is key: what's good for the soul sometimes does not feel good to the human.  When situations, conditions, and events conspire to take blinders off, it can be quite a shock.  It can feel like a wound.

Under this energy, everything that is happening is happening to get everyone on a better course.  As mentioned yesterday, it is too early to judge where things will end up.  When corrections are made, things in our lives change.  Trusting the process makes it easier.  Accessing that neutral side of yourself  (the side that understands adventure?) is a powerful act.

We also have a desire to understand things on a deeper level, so follow impulses to pick up certain books, look at certain things like photos, listen to certain pieces of music, etc.  Assistance to better understand what is happening with each of us on a personal level is provided in these sources.

Another strong theme is feeling like we are at the same place we were sometime in the past.  Venus moves to the degree of "a merry-go-round" which brings old patterns, cycles, habits, and situations that have us saying "not again."  We can choose to do things differently this time around.

One other thing, moderation in most everything is important today. 

Today we can release the need to control and put ourselves in the hands of wisdom.  We can flow with the winds of change as we are carried along our path.

Full Moon Phase: fulfillment

Moon in Pisces

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess Who Fulfills Our Highest Desire) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: follow the lead of higher guidance; neutralize fear and anxiety

Negative Imprint: explosions, suppression, resistance, pressure, anger, religious fanaticism, lack of perspective, self-sabotage, quitting, high risk, too much noise

Positive Imprint: aspirations, inspiration, exchange, unity, morale, catharsis, renewed faith, clearer path, wisdom, subtlety, ESP

The Full Moon phase enters tonight at 9:39 pm ET/1:39 am UT but the energy builds toward it all day.  This Full Moon is a supermoon.

At the Full Moon, the Sun will be passing through the 17th degree of Virgo, the energy of which the Sabian symbols describe as "a volcanic eruption."  This energy always runs hot, creating catharsis and change.  Any feelings, thoughts, ideas, words, and actions that have been suppressed or bubbling just under the surface tend to come out.  This is in effect not just today, but during the entire Full Moon phase (September 8 - 11).

Also in effect during the entire Full Moon phase is the influence of Chiron's close conjunction with the Moon.  Chiron-related issues of wounding (particularly self-sabotage), self-neglect, retreat from ordinary reality, crisis, early childhood trauma, past lives, and also HEALING and TEACHING are expressed. 

Chiron also rules the unnatural, archontic notion of the path of suffering and sacrifice to salvation.  This fact combined with the Sabian symbol for the degree of the Moon at the Full Moon, 17 Pisces, "an Easter promenade," is troublesome.  The highest octave of this degree's energy is a sharing of spiritual ideas.  The lowest octave is a show of unity of religious zealots.  Chiron, which heals before it wounds, in such prominence with the Full Moon and all of the lunacy that peaks with it, puts a whole new spin on matters.

Chiron itself is retrograding through the 15th degree of Pisces - "an officer drilling his men in simulated attack."  Keep in mind that most, if not all, modern false flag attacks run parallel with planned drills of the military-industrial-banking complex.

Note also that the mythical Chiron was a centaur - half horse, half man - and the high potential for "Trojan Horse" types of events at the macro and micro levels (in the world at large and in our lives) this month and during October's lunar cycle.  I discussed this in detail in the latest audio "Holding the Line" that remains posted on the home page of www.oraclereport.com.

And while speaking of Trojan Horses, in the epic of the Trojan War, the goddess Eris is actually the catalyst for the war.  Today's Full Moon sees what astrologers call the South Node of the Moon begin the transit of the degree of the Eris Point - the degree in the sky where the planet Eris was located when it was discovered.  The South Node of the Moon deals with the past - past lives, past memories, past pain, past everything.  This transit of the South Node to the Eris Point lasts until September 26, reaching maximum potential on September 15. 

When the Eris Point is activated, it is "prime time" for the magicians of the dark side (the so-called Illuminati of the Archons) to make mischief.  The South Node at the Eris Point is "prime time" to work magic from the past.  The agenda that has been impressed for the past two to three thousand years by those opposed to free humanity will be ritualistically reinforced beginning with today's Full Moon and lasting into the first two days of the next New Moon.  Whether this ritual is a public affair or a private one remains to be seen.

Remember that it is next cycle, the Libra cycle and the "Full Moon time of the year", when the biggest moves will be made.  That cycle begins on September 24, but this month is like the opening act.

Regardless of what transpires, we remain, all month long, under the protective guidance of two "angels" - in this case the aspects of Gaia Sophia that are Shodashi and Matangi.  Each a benefactrix in her own right, Shodashi aligns us with conditions that bring the highest possible expressions of our souls, and Matangi sweeps away the feelings, circumstances, obstacles, ignorance, and anything else that lies in Shodashi's wake.  (Remember Shodashi works in waves.)

Understand that this realignment is taking place for everyone, whether one is conscious of it or not.  This may appear at first to bring people and situations out of resonance.  Don't judge any perceived deviations (that people or situations are leaving or moving away) just yet.  With the skill of a fine calligrapher, Shodashi's strokes separate but also come back together.  "Rewriting" changes things, but nothing is truly lost.

Spaceweather.com reports that odds for X-class solar flares are a whopping 30% today.  This would certainly empower the Full Moon's energetics, but it also could show up tectonically, especially since the Sun is located at the degree of "a volcanic eruption."

Entering a time when there is such potential for harm can be unnerving, especially if too much mind power is given to it.  I discuss the darker potentials to bring light to them.  Exposing the potential (intention, spell) disempowers the potential (intention, spell).  Neutralize any worry or fear that may be incited or triggered.  If it comes up inside of you, wave it off.  Sweep it out of your heart with a wave of your hand.  Ask Shodashi and Matangi for assistance.

Knowing the negative potential doesn't mean we are negative.  On the contrary, wise owls are holding the line for all that is good about life and the way life should be and will be one day.  Let the changes take place inside you with the light of the Full Moon.  Adapt.  Adjust.  Remember that we are blessed all month long with the energy of the Sabian symbol of this lunar cycle - "two guardian angels bringing protection."  We follow their lead.

Saturday, September 6 - Sunday, September 7, 2014

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust

Moon in Aquarius

Ruling Mahavidya: Shodashi (Goddess Who Fulfills Our Highest Desire) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: reacquaint yourself with the feeling of desire

Negative Imprint: rigid routine, inability to cope, feeling "better" than others, artificial, attempts to gain sympathy, isolation, self-sacrifice for martyrdom

Positive Imprint: rehearsals and practice, nurturance, self-care, listening to the inner voice/the higher self, simple shows of love/appreciation, delicacy, following the path of the mystic

We are lucky, lucky humans this weekend.  Our two "guardian angels" Shodashi and Matangi, the aspects of the Great Goddess Gaia Sophia interfacing directly with humanity this month, are close at hand drawing the trajectories of our lives into proper course.  We are afforded protection and guidance.

Shodashi works in finer things - fine details, fine materials, fine elements.  She is refined and elegant.  But she works in strong strokes - sonic booms, tectonic changes, and ripple effects.  She is relentless and has an endurance that is often interpreted as youthfulness.  She is understood to be forever young.

Matangi, when assisting Shodashi, is a clean up force of reckoning.  But she is careful - deliberate - to direct her winds in the appropriate way for everyone.  If the situation is within natural law and equal for everyone, she gently sweeps away anything that is no longer of service.  If the situation is outside of natural law and unequal, she will sandblast away at it with it winds known as the Furies, weakening it decisively.

This weekend, Shodashi undertakes very fine handiwork to craft the lines of our lives into better shape.  As the Goddess of Form and Symmetry, the Goddess of Beauty, and the Goddess Who Fulfills Our Highest Desire, getting things into a proper format is important to her.  Getting us into a proper format is important to her.

We can facilitate her handiwork by first trusting and then adjusting to the internal and external changes that are taking place.  Issues of safety and security are core themes of the weekend's energy.  If this becomes a problem, mentally and emotionally "fall back" into the fine lace net of support that Shodashi has woven.  Let go of the trouble(s), and breathe a sigh of relief as you fall into the comfort and cushioning of universal support.  It's like a fluffy pillow top bed with the finest linens.  See why we are lucky this weekend?

Dreams, creativity, and inspiration are at super-high levels, bringing us information and opportunities.  Conjuring a mindset of love for life and an ongoing search for beauty puts us right in line.  The job for wise owls is to hold a line of love for life mixed with an eternal search for beauty.  In this way, the line is an "undercurrent" that maintains cohesion through times of chaos and strife.  We are smack dab in the middle of such a time.  We know the potential for a strike to the heart of humanity but we know that there is more to the story.  We are immune - neutral - to the assault on the mind.  With one eye we see through the darkness and with the other eye we see to the light.

Amidst tensions, it is wise to relax.  Answers come to us after relief.  Move slowly and gently through the weekend's energy and do your best to enjoy life.  Be young at heart.  A wave of desire seeks to unlock your path, but you have to be alive enough to know or remember what desire is.
