Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Taurus/Gemini (4:04 pm ET/8:04 pm UT)

Goddess of Wisdom: All - led by Shodashi (Goddess of Beauty, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: see and hear what is crystal clear

Catalysts for Change: not facing something, disappointed (maintain reasonable expectations), confrontations, fear of commitment, believing there is only one answer, confusion, loss of perspective, wasting, greed, relying on the past, over-emphasizes on appearance, anger and irritability, stubborn

True Alignments: seeing symbolism, crystallizing thoughts into form or action, projecting ideas into the future, sincerity, depth of beauty and inner beauty, undeterred in the face of testing, solutions, return to balance, the path of the mystic, imagination, bringing things that are out of proportion into proportion, acceptance of self, breaking down barriers that hold us back, returning to light

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a girls basketball team" (unifying)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (complete re-calibration/re-tuning of consciousness)

The energetics of the Full Moon phase have ended, and we now enter the Disseminating phase of the Moon.  Disseminating Moon phase is characterized by information, feedback, messages, and communication.  In the natural cycle of time, the next four days are when the universe delivers guidance through whatever means possible, oftentimes through what is in the background.

Since Mercury is still retrograde, requiring more effort or patience with communications, this Disseminating Moon will be working harder to help us get the message.  But, a certain "gem" of energy assuages this because the Earth is located at the degree of "a crystal gazer."  This energetic makes things crystal clear and also crystallizes plans and ideas.  It clears a path.

Other planets are helping.  Mercury itself is located at the degree of "a man watching his ideals taking concrete form before his inner vision."  Venus moves once again to "after a heavy storm, a rainbow" (or maybe we could call it "after a super-blood-harvest moon, the spectrum of the future becomes clear").  The Black Moon moves to "a man teaching the true inner knowledge of the new world to his students." And Mars moves to "a man becoming aware of nature spirits and normally unseen spiritual energies."

So today, the universe conspires to help us see something very, very clearly, despite Mercury's retrograde.  What have we not wanted to see?  Where do we see things going?  Where will something lead?  What do you see that others are missing?  What do you have to share?  What do you have to say?  What is whispering to you?

Further, the other planets are contributing.  Today Jupiter moves to the familiar degree of "a bride with her veil snatched away."  Jupiter will discharge this energy through Tuesday, October 6.  Since April, a certain female US Presidential candidate from the Democratic faction has not fared well when this degree has been activated.  Each time a planet hits it, more that has been hidden comes out.  Jupiter is known to deliver a final blow -- it's The Closer -- so this could be the end of that dynasty.  Regardless, Jupiter will reveal much about true intentions and levels of commitment in our personal worlds and in the world as a whole over the next few days.

The energy and the times remain complicated and historic.  Saturn moves to the degree of "the ocean covered with whitecaps."  This always stirs or whips things up.  The wisdom of the Sabians tells us to dive under anything that begins to churn.  This will be in effect until October 12.  I think diving under will be very important because the Mahavidyas are strongly reinforcing this to me.

Finally, the active Sun is discharging the energy of "three old masters hanging in a special room in an art gallery."  This energy brings balance, form, and wisdom.  The Mahavidya (Wisdom Goddess, aspect of Gaia Sophia) Shodashi is known for these three things.  Shodashi leads the team of Wisdom Goddesses this month, but today she is particularly interested in bringing us into better form and alignment with our highest potential.  This may require us to take a different course or path, one that opens today.

That's a lot for today, but all divinely-directed.  All that we need to do is be attentive and brave enough to see and hear what is crystal clear today.

Full Moon Phase: enlightenment, realization

Moon in Taurus

Goddess of Wisdom: All - led today Shodashi (Goddess of Beauty) and Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South, God of Waves)

Skill: emblaze the inner fire (connect with spiritual source through the heart); open to new ways, things, ideas related to existing ways, things, or ideas

Catalysts for Change: insincerity, racism, issues of morality, propaganda to sway masses, surrendering one's will, held back or held in the past, not preparing, overshadowing others or others' feelings, homelessness, isolation and loneliness, sabotage, forcing people out, selfish, bitter

True Alignments: reserves, endurance, integration of different elements or components, the fellowship of humanity, confidence, self-reliant, success, completion, spiritual awakening, inspiration, ancient Eastern philosophies and practices, ability to adjust. shift in perception, overcoming, safe and secure

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a girls basketball team" (unifying)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (the complete re-tuning or re-calibrating of consciousness)

At 10:50 am ET/2:50 pm UT, the Sun and Mercury will be in exact conjunction (meet at the same place in the sky).  Mercury is currently moving retrograde (backward), which causes the ways we think about and communicate to change.  We come to startling revelations about outgrown beliefs about ourselves and the world.

We also happen to still be in the Full Moon phase of this lunar cycle, which is the time of the month when we have full light for revelation - full light by which to see.

But with the Sun's conjunction with Mercury today, we have the most light of all.  The Sun empowers or "charges" whatever energetic comes into contact with it.  The Sabian symbol for the degree of the conjunction gives us the inside scoop on the nature of the electro-magnetic dynamic being supercharged.  The Sun and Mercury make conjunction at the Sabian symbol of "a blazing fireplace in a deserted home."

Mercury is The Messenger, so the home is not deserted (or not in the same state as it was before everyone left) because Mercury has left us a message there.  This message has to do with:

NEW METHODS OF THOUGHT AND ACTION - Issues or problems that have surfaced (particularly since September 17) find resolution through the integration of elements that were separated or cordoned off.  Mercury retrograde re-works the way we think about and approach things - our mindset.  This results in things coming together or back together in new ways.  This change in thinking is also what causes "revolutions of evolutions" - leaps of consciousness are made.

RESOLTUION OR RELIEF WITHIN RELATIONSHIPS- Situations and conditions that developed (or finally surfaced) in relationships on July 7-8, July 19-23, and August 10-11 are at the last stage of transformation.  These are things that Venus' retrograde over the summer brought into action, particularly changes in relationships.  The Sabian symbol with this today is "a large camel crossing a vast and forbidding desert."  It may have been quite a tough journey, but it is coming to its end.  The path will be clear by Thursday, October 8.  (Venus will once again reach the degree where it stationed retrograde, setting the re-working of relationships in effect.)

Note the repeat of the word desert in "a blazing fireplace in a deserted home" and "a large camel crossing a vast and forbidding desert."  It may seem or feel like we've been deserted in the wastelands of a desert.  But wisdom tells us that what is tired and dry and forbidden is being blown away like...

A WOMAN'S HAT WITH STREAMERS BLOWN BY THE EAST WIND - The Earth is located at the degree of this Sabian symbol today.  Generally this is a softer breeze, but it always brings the new - the dawn - because it is the East.  This helps us release or bring relief to the past.  Any part of it can blow away with the wind.  New space for new experience is then created.  Deep breaths certainly help with this energetic.

SHIFTS IN THE BALANCES OF POWER - This may be quite noticeable today, and includes balances of power within interpersonal relationships and the world at large.  The geopolitical chessboard is changing, and ultimately it realigns with goodness because this is our true nature.  That which has depth triumphs over that which is merely superficial today.

But, as we "come home" and read all of the "messages" Mercury has left for us today, we do so next to a blazing fireplace lit by the power of the Sun.  We remember that even when we leave "the house" there is always something there that sustains us.  To get there, we need only to turn our mind's eye inside to the fires of the heart.

What is there, revealing itself to you today?

Full Moon Phase: realization, experience

Moon in Aries/Taurus (2:57 pm ET/6:57 pm UT)

Goddess of Wisdom: All - Led today by Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best and Matangi, Goddess of the Soft Breeze

God of Will/Desire: Kathe, God of the South, God of Senses/Experiences

Skill: shift focus; see and feel the comfort of the inner home fire

Catalysts for Change: scattered, difficulty coping with life stressors. sabotage and self-sabotage, feeling lost/ lonely by forgetting spiritual connection, over-protective, trying to be all things for all people, neglecting physical body and needs, attached to only one way or one's own way, withering from lack of nurturance, fears about security/financial security, divide and conquer through racism

True Alignments: welcoming others, comforts of home, assistance with stress or indecision, seeing truth in the projections, form and function, shifting focus from one thing to another, versatile, diverse, seeing the importance of everyone involved/valuing the roles of everyone, taking care of loved ones, taking care of the physical body, expressing self in two ways/two worlds/two levels, the building of inner strength, information channeling through

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a girls basketball team" (unifying)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (complete re-tuning or re-calibrating consciousness)

Please rely on the True Alignments and Catalys for Change above for specific themes with today's energetics.  We are guided by "two angels bringing protection" today, the position of Mars, and higher forces are putting things on a new course or back on a proper course.

For a bigger analysis, read on. 

COMMENTARY OF RECENT ENERGY: Just after midnight Eastern Time/4:00 am Universal Time overnight, the Moon moved to the Eris Point, and the response (of the Mahavidyas, for long-time readers) to the energetics of the past week began.  A "Sonic Boom" (Shodashi's Wave, for long-time readers) was released.

A shift of focused is proffered by the Sacred Feminine (the aeon Sophia - Gaia Sophia).  Today, things begin to unfold that put things into proper alignment -- out of the fear of the mind and into comfort and safety of the heart.

Since the energetics of the Gibbous Moon phase last week and the first day of the Full Moon yesterday were almost unprecedented in their potential to affect the future (through the electro-magnetic dynamics of the planets), the counter-effort of spiritual forces is just as precisely timed.  When the Moon moved to 21 Aries - the degree of action by the sacred feminine - all of the fear and negativity that was induced within and harvested from the fellowship of humanity is now reflected back from whence it came.

You could say it was sent backward in time, and thus, has no effect on the future.  The past week's energetics were both experienced and then pre-empted, hard as that is to understand.  It was intense and built to great heights, and now a proportional level of light bounces it back. 

All nefarious efforts and intentions/seeds/spells to capture and control the hearts and minds of humanity with the start of the Libra New Moon (October 12, 2015) are being disempowered. October 12 is the true day of power - the day all of the cabal's ceremonies and rituals were funneling toward.  October 12 is the New Moon in Libra at the Sabian symbol (electromagnetic signature) of 20 degrees of Libra and "a Jewish rabbi performing his duties."

The exact location of the New Moon in Libra is 19 Libra 20.  This is only 1 degree and 13 minutes from exact opposition with the Eris Point - again, the degree of action of the sacred feminine.  The spiritual array of the fellowship of humanity around the world, now stronger than ever, directs its focus and attention toward the growth and construction of its ideals -- toward experiencing heaven on earth, assured of the wisdom that truth and love prevail. 

Outstanding job, wise owls!  While this player on the "girls basketball team" was "benched," the Parliament of the Attendants of Wisdom - of Sophia - engaged and knew exactly what to do: enact the skill of the wise owl inside the tree peering out and observing, out of the fray, holding the line.  This was a great act of power and showed that there is no dependency here - only the like-minded effort to navigate changing energies and respond accordingly, independently, but linked.

It was not pleasant, but it is over, and it is disempowered.

I do not have words to fully describe how grateful and touched I was for the well-wishes and donations to get me back online during this time.  The Sabian symbols always say it best.  It was like a "blazing fireplace in a deserted home," the symbol of the Sun-Mercury conjunction tomorrow.  This symbol is always about the constant heart fires of home - our true home - and the constant link we have with that.  We are always together and at home through the inner heart fire.  I am deeply appreciative.  Much love to all.

First Quarter: step out, take action

Moon in Capricorn

Goddess of Wisdom: All (led by Shodashi, Goddess of Beauty/Goddess Who Fulfills Our Highest and Best)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: break it down

Catalysts for Change: over-analyzing, fooling people with things that are false, losing touch with reality, not using common sense, disrespect or dishonor of the "old," losing direction, going around and around/going nowhere, confusion, impaired, debilitated

True Alignments: analyzing the spectrum, attuning to cosmic rhythms/cycles, reading sources of inspiration, using common sense, taking things out of their norm or comfort zone, enjoying the process, taking one thing and multiplying it into many things

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a girls basketball team" (unifying)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

The Sun released another CME yesterday, this one at 2:03 pm ET/6:03 pm UT at the degree of the symbolic energy of "a child and a dog wearing borrowed eyeglasses"    An amplification of energy to shift consciousness -- to evolve our outlook, perspective, mindset, understanding -- was amplified.  Did you change your mind about something or come to a different place with it?  If not, today's energetics echo the theme of the CME, giving us more opportunity. 

The totality of today's energy involves themes of confusion, overwhelm, perplexity, and repetition of behavior patterns.  The Sun is discharging the energy of "a man gaining secret knowledge from an ancient scroll he is reading."  Wisdom teaches us that the way to handle things today is to break them down in to steps, parts, elements or components.  With this, we endeavor to be patient and steady.

Since Mercury (in retrograde) is located at the degree of the Sabian symbol of "circular paths," we have a tendency to feel like we are back where we started.  Old feelings, situations, and beliefs re-surface to give us an opportunity to recognize that we are not really back at the beginning, doing the same things or making the same mistakes, because we have learned.  We learn each day.  Our journey may feel like we are doing the same things over and over again, but today we have the chance to put on a different set of "eyeglasses" and "gain knowledge." 

The Sun's spike in activity is intensifying things, especially communications.  Mars completes the degree of "many little birds on the limb of a large tree."  This energy always brings lots of chatter and often too much information.  We remember that everything that shows up today is about shifting perspective, so even though we may want to turn off the "noise," there is likely something very important for us to see or learn from it.  Wise owls (my name for Oracle Report readers) like serenity, and this energy is not exactly serene.  It is easy for sensitive people to feel scattered under these energetic dynamics.  But we know the Electric Universe is our friend.  We can practice the skill of being like a wise owl in a tree -- peering out, taking it all in, and seeing future options -- to manage sensory overload. 

Keep in mind that things (or feelings) may seem like they are unstructured (or falling apart) or coming detached from reality.  Things are actually quite secure; they are just undergoing transformation into something greater.  The Sabian symbol of the degree where the Earth is located is "light breaking through into many colors as it passes through a prism."  We are breaking through into many colors as we learn how to become a "gem."

Today, our efforts to bring heaven to earth come from steadiness, openness, and willingness to shift our consciousness.  This is the "secret knowledge" we gain from our co-creation with the great forces of the cosmos.

Crescent Moon Phase:  perseverance, fortification

Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius 11:32 pm ET/3:32 am UT

Goddess of Wisdom: All (led by Shodashi, Goddess of Beauty, Goddess Who Fulfills Our Highest and Best)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: recognize uncertainty as opportunity

Catalysts for Change: divide and conquer efforts, splitting, not committing, not weighing in, hopeless, blocked creativity, suppression of emotions, hierarchies of control, unwillingness to express self/feelings, putting off until tomorrow, fearful, unsupportive, demanding - particularly demanding to know

True Alignments: discovery, mixing different things or elements together, team building, cohesion, limitless possibility, value for the individual and individuality, diversification, hopeful, devotion, observant, projecting plans into the future, reconstructing something

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a girls basketball team" (unifying)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

As we experience our first full day of Saturn's re-entry back into the sign of Sagittarius, we feel a shift that is hard to pinpoint, but we really want to know what it is.  This is the nature of Saturn in Sagittarius: the seeker inside each of us wants definitive answers that can be acted upon.

Today's energies are all about new opportunities, new beginnings, new responses, and new things entering the field (or the "basketball court," using this lunar month's Sabian symbology).  But "new" also means "uncertain" because it is, by definition, not yet fully known or experienced.  If it was certain, it would not truly be new. 

Our natural reaction to "uncertainty" is fear, but that only has to be the body (sympathetic nervous system) trying to keep us alive from a fight or flight perspective.  We can evolve out of that by recognizing the initial fear reaction as the body's physical response and letting it pass through us.  Once we are past that initial reaction, we come to a very different place -- a place of enlightenment/alignment with our greater selves.

Today, embracing the "space of uncertainty" as a ripe field of potential is a very potent thing.

We remember that "new" also means "different," and with today's energetics, different is a very good thing. 

So, to add it all up, today we have good and potent energetics to bring out The Seeker, The Hero, The Explorer, and even The Rebel in each of us.  These are the sides of ourselves that are needed to blaze trails through the Second Renaissance.  Let's take them up.

(Note:  I will be taking tomorrow off from the Report, but will return Monday.  Have a wonderful weekend, wise owls!  Find beauty, Shodashi-style!)

Crescent Moon Phase:  perseverance, fortifying

Moon in Scorpio

Goddess of Wisdom:  All - led by Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South, God of Waves)

Skill: dance with time

Catalysts for Change: stuck in the past, greed, unable to enjoy the present moment, battles to take control, making excuses, feeling emotionally uncontained, taking too big of a risk, not grieving a loss, stressful interactions, impatience, losing sight of the goal, hierarchies of control, overpowered

True Alignments: harnessing personal power, clearing, sincerity, carrying forward, tributes, stress release, maintaining sight of goals, grieving a loss, recognition, honoring one's experiences, inspiration, making plans for the future, creativity, expression, unique style, restoration

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a girls basketball team"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Today, a dance between the past and the future takes place.  This sends our attention into the "multiverse of time."  It enables us to not only see the future ahead of its time, but also to see the past as very different, and therefore overwriting it.

Much power is trapped in our past -- in our feelings in the past.  Since there really is no such thing as "time" or "linear time," the feelings can be recovered and re-considered.

Mercury stations retrograde today, and it's goal between now and October 9 is to help us turn time inside out.  Mercury stations retrograde around 2:00 pm ET/6:00 pm UT at 15 Libra 55 and the Sabian symbol of "after a storm, a boat landing stands in need of reconstruction" (corrected from yesterday's report).  Mercury isn't going to create a storm or a tidal wave while it is retrograde; the symbol tells us the storm has already happened.  The reconstruction time -- the time of renaissance, the aftermath -- is the focus.  Mercury is a messenger that can travel in ways that others cannot.  Time and space do not bind Mercury

Quite the contrary, time and space are of the utmost to Saturn, the so-called Lord of Time.  Today, Saturn leaves the sign of Scorpio and enters Sagittarius.  This happens around midnight ET/4:00 am UT.  Saturn wants to lord over us and our sense of time.  Saturn begins to discharge the energy of 01 Sagittarius and the Sabian symbol "retired army veterans gather to reawaken old memories."  Saturn wants us to look back, but the symbol implies that it is for the purposes of re-vitalization -- reawakening.

All of this, again, enables us to go back into the past in our hearts and minds and "take back" any personal energy or power that is trapped there.  We can release the feelings that were experienced then, so that the trauma does not have to keep hurting and affecting us.

To do this, we look at the past a different way.  We see that it is not happening right now.  We can go back and see how we have grown from (mastered) the situation, based on the wisdom and experience of our lives.  It is a trauma response to live under the belief that something that happened in the past will immanently happen again.

So today, we are not at the mercy of Mercury stationing retrograde because we know the energetic is refining, reworking, and re-building things.  Disruptions in communications, electronics, and travel accompany Mercury's retrograde.  When we know the potential is in place, we can opt for patience.  If something isn't working or flowing, step away from it for a little while then return to it.  Mercury wants us to reconsider things, so it's good to "let it be" and go back a little later.

Mercury is in opposition to Uranus, which brings heightened potential for accidents.  Stay focused and attentive while driving.  Double check that things are turned off and flames are extinguished.  Make or save back-up copies if it is something important.

Today, we will dance with the forces of time instead of them dancing us.  We stand in the point of power in the center, wielding our minds to recover pieces of the past to build a better future.

(Today is St. Sophia Day.  How interesting that the Earth, Gaia Sophia, is located at the degree of "the purging of the priesthood" and we have a large earthquake...)

New Moon Phase: begin, intend

Moon in Libra/Scorpio 11:43 am ET/3:43 pm UT

Goddess of Wisdom: All (led by Shodashi, Goddess Who Fulfills Our Highest and Best)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill:  operate within the flux of energies/follow the "lead" of the universe

Catalysts for Change: shrill, suspicious, sabotaging relationships, grief and loss, heavy obligations keeping one mired, dependency and co-dependency, weighed down or stuck, starting from square one when one should continue on

True Alignments: gentle, discerning, practice, forgotten or hidden talents and skills emerging, public displays, endurance, admiration, inner wisdom, proven innocent, pure intentions, cooperation, socialization

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a girls basketball team" (unity)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

The rhythms of nature are in flux today, as we are in a time of transitioning energies.  Since things are very changeable today, we do not want to be too attached to things going or being a certain way.  To some degree, it's easiest to let higher forces "drive" situations and conditions instead of us pushing or forcing our will.  We can save ourselves much angst and frustration if we follow the universe's lead.

Here's why the energy is in a state of flux:

THE MOON LEAVES LIBRA just before noon Eastern time/4:00 pm Universal time.  This is the first time the Moon has transited (moved through) Libra since the Black Moon entered Libra on August 24/25.  This was our first experience of what this will be like and in what ways everyone's shadow sides will be projected during the Black Moon's nine month transit through Libra (until May 16. 2016).  So until noon ET today, the remnants of people's shadow sides can come out.  This means fear can come out.  If you find yourself in a dramatic interpersonal interaction or being "accused," consider that what someone is saying is actually how they think or feel about themselves.

MERCURY PREPARES TO STATION RETROGRADE TOMORROW, but is already sitting at the degree where it will retrograde: 15 Libra 55 and the Sabian symbol of "two men placed under arrest."  Mercury will station retrograde (appear to move backward in the sky) around 2:00 pm ET/6:00 pm UT tomorrow (Thursday, September 17).  Communications, electronics, travel, and plans are often disrupted while Mercury is retrograde, and the most intense effects happen on the day the planet stations retrograde (tomorrow) or when it stations direct (Mercury will be retrograde until October 9, 2015).  Mercury is in flux today, wobbling along until it goes back tomorrow to re-make, re-do, revise, re-work situations, conditions, projects, and relationships.

CHIRON MOVES TO A NEW DEGREE, changing the energetics to favor the receipt of wisdom.  Chiron moves from the Sabian symbol of "a table set for an evening meal" - which is all about preparing - to the energy of "a master instructing his disciple" - which is all about receiving.  Spirit sits down at the dinner table of consciousness that we have prepared, and then fills the evening with stories of hero's journeys.  We receive wisdom.  Chiron will discharge this energetic until October 9.

NEPTUNE MOVES TO A NEW DEGREE, adding more flux into the field.  Neptune now disseminates the energy of 08 Pisces and "a girl blowing a bugle."  Neptune's energy is helping Gaia Sophia wake people out of slumber.  Neptune will be at this degree for a long, long time.  It will station direct at this degree on November 18/19 and then toggle back through it until JANUARY 18, 2016!  A call to action begins to reverberate today.

SATURN SPENDS ITS LAST DAY IN SCORPIO, as it prepares to move into Sagittarius tomorrow.  Today, it disseminates the last bits of the Sabian symbol "children in Halloween costumes indulging in various pranks."  This makes the day very nebulous and tricky and mischievous and wily.  It goes somewhat out of control, which, again, speaks to not wasting a lot of energy trying to control it.

There are other elements contributing to the state of flux today, but you get the idea.  This doesn't mean that we give up, thinking we can accomplish nothing today; we can accomplish much.  It just helps to understand that it is not entirely under our control.  All lunar month, a tidal wave of spiritual energies is coming through to rectify, restore, and rebirth things. 

Today, we lean how to operate within the chaotic flux of the cosmos and recognize it as the beautiful co-creation with Spirit that it is.

New Moon Phase: begin, intend

Moon in Libra

Goddess of Wisdom: All (led by Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Soul's Intentions)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: simplify the complexity

Catalysts for Change:  hovering in the background, feelings of not being worthy or good enough, trivial, afraid to speak up or join in, holding back what one has to offer, untruths, isolation, escapism, avoidance, sacrifices, running on empty, frustration, quitting, indecision

True Alignments: adding what one has to offer, socialization, team building, softening, endurance, recollections, reconstructions, rehearsals, making the best of what's around, like-minded people brought together, confidence, speaking up, imagination, pure intentions, wonder

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a girls basketball team"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Yesterday's complex and intense energetics calm down somewhat today, as a theme of "simplicity" enters.  We aim for simplification within the complexity.

Three things will assist this:

SHARING (discussing) the situation with others

COMPROMISING with others

RESTORING THE FUN in whatever way we can.  The Sabian symbol for this lunar month is "a girls basketball team," and so far I have only discussed this from the competitive perspective.  Winning is great, but the real value is in enjoying playing the game with others.  Being part of a team that enjoys what it is doing is the best.

The notions of sharing with others and socializing repeats in several of the energetic signatures today.  The intention is to drive us toward what is comforting.  In doing so, we come into a state of "innocence" or "back to basics."  Keeping things simple and bringing them back to basics equalizes tension and intensity.  The last few days have been energetically tense!

 Today we are guided toward authenticity, and the things that come from it are seeds of the Second Renaissance.  Where can you simplify?

(A comment on the "Assessment of the Deconstruction" - Yesterday was the second of three opportunities this solar-lunar year where the potential for nefarious activities to take power and control over the collective of humanity is at maximum.  It looks like V for victory for Team Gaia Sophia, once again, but I am not ready to call it yet.  The Moon will oppose Uranus today at 2:28 pm ET/6:28 pm UT at the degree of the next New Moon, the New Moon in Libra, and the Sabian symbol of "a Jewish rabbi performing his duties."  This New Moon phase ends overnight Wednesday, so we remain aware.  The third opportunity comes with the New Moon in Libra on October 12.

A note to those with the Sun or Black Moon in Aries or Libra: Today is a "Black Moon day," since the Moon is in Libra and the Black Moon is in Libra.  Over the next nine months, a rebirth of your entire self is happening.  It can feel like a dark night of the soul, but it is actually an adventure of the soul.  It goes into deep territory -- into our fears and into a face-to-face encounter with our true selves.  Ideas about worthiness accompany this because the transit is designed to help us see the totality and value of ourselves.  It challenges beliefs.  It is wise to surrender to what is being revealed, as resisting it only makes it harder on ourselves.  The goal is to, as best we can, embrace the experience as an adventure that will yield a great reward.  This is the hero's journey.

And, here's an experiment:  The Wisdom Goddesses offer this "sonic remedy" for aiding in making the complex simple.  If something is stumping you or seems irreconcilable, try listening to Chopin's Twelve Etudes, Opus 10, No 9 in F Minor.)

New Moon Phase: begin, intend

Moon in Libra

Goddess of Wisdom: All (with Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns and Fulfills)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: breathe gently; slide; find beauty

Catalysts for Change: bossing people around, testing others, feeling overpowered or overwhelmed, false fronts/allegiance, elitism, ideas of genocide, not standing up for self, performances to trick or manipulate, denial, escapism, strong and impulsive reactions before thinking, storms of emotions

True Alignments: recollection, objectivity within chaotic situations, new opportunities, victory, revelation of truths, codes, defiance of limitations, connecting with others, standing up for self, self-reliance, fearless, a level of mastery, trust and faith, inner equilibrium

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a girls basketball team" (unity)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (re-tuning/re-turning)

It's a powerful day with powerful waves of energy.  Today, when wise owls sense the wave (through feelings of overwhelm, powerlessness, fear, loss, or other extremes), we will stop and let the wave pass through us.

The energy can become crazily surreal.  Emotions can go all over the place.  This is because a wave of spiritual energy was released yesterday with the New Moon in Virgo.  This wave is pouring through the nooks, crevices, and corners of everything.  It is pounding through in a torrent.

The torrent is a good thing because it is clearing the way for new opportunities and new beginnings.  But because newness implies a change, it can be misinterpreted as feeling "not good."  As a traumatized species, we are overcoming our fear that we are destined for doom.  We are learning that change is the way of the universe, and that it is a dance that flows, not a game to see who is left standing.

If you feel like your emotions are coming in too fast, your body is trying to adjust.  Try picturing yourself "sliding" underneath it and out of the fray.

It will also help to not try to do too much today.  If a loss is experienced, it may be somewhat temporary.  Is it too soon to judge the final outcome?  If so, let it be.

The strength and combination of the energies today may have us vacillating between feeling quite energized to harness or seize the day and then quickly turn to feeling quite overwhelmed.  We don't want to engage all of this too much.  A powerful spiritual event is occurring.  Recognizing this, we can step back or step out of the swirling torrent and let it do its thing.  We can "de-personalize" it to some degree.

Last night I recorded two new audios to go into more detail about the energetics in place right now.  These are posted on www.oraclereport.com. 

It's an important day.  We continue to practice the skill of the wise owl in a tree, observing all that is happening, ready to respond if necessary.  At the same time, we immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature, the mind of the Wisdom Goddess Sophia.  Wisdom let us attend.

Balsamic Moon Phase: trust, magic

Moon in Virgo

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: "de-personalize and re-universalize"

(Note: I will post a separate Sunday report tomorrow.  A "campfire" recording may also be on its way.  The standard headings of True Alignments, etc. are not listed today, as there is only one focus of consequence.  See below.)

The "100 Hours" of the Balsamic Moon comes to a close today.  The Virgo New Moon enters at the following times:

UNIVERSAL TIME: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2015 6:41 am

EASTERN TIME: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2015 2:41 am

PACIFIC TIME: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2015 11:41 PM

Until that time -- today -- there is only one thing to "do," but it is perhaps one of the hardest things to do: step outside of ourselves and connect with something greater.  This means we de-focus on our personal/individual lives and re-focus on the fellowship of humanity.

It is the job of wise owls to, as best we can, de-personalize pretty much everything that comes our way today.  Though things happen in our lives, oftentimes dramatic and deeply emotional things, today it is important that we not become mired in ourselves, project ourselves, react to others, succumb to wounding, or pontificate on the goings-on of our personal world.

The Sabian symbol for the Virgo New Moon is "a girls basketball team."  As the saying goes, there is no I in team.

Until the New Moon, we are like wise owls in a tree, immersed in the scene of nature, but watching it from a different perspective.

After the New Moon, we are like wise owls that come out of the tree and fly up to join together in a ring of wings around the world (meditation below).  A collective of human beings unifying around the idea that "love prevails" and sending goodwill to all is a powerful thing.

There are wise owls all over the world, as demonstrated to me in the many beautiful emails after recording the "Messages in a Bottle."  Thank you all!  The infusion of love into this Balsamic Moon phase is astounding.  Hearts have been fortified and are now ready to unify.

Today, we aim to go beyond ourselves in trust.  We understand that a bigger picture is unfolding.  We hold the line -- hold the space -- at a key time of the emerging Second Renaissance.  We take a higher view today.

The "Wings Around the World" meditation is below.  Join in anytime after the New Moon in your time zone - you do not need to do it at the exact time of the New Moon.  It's a "wave" and does not follow our notions of time and space.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon In Leo/Virgo (9:56 am ET/1:56 pm UT)

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: be vigilant; respond; do not wait around

True Alignments: renewal, putting things in place, relocating, companionship, taking the road less traveled, resolution, clearing, awards and rewards, giving and receiving, comfort, sustainability, reverence, evolving perceptions, the massive power of belief

Catalysts for Change: feeling lost, enmeshed in fine details and unable to see the bigger picture, self-minimizing, jealousy, stuck in fear, restlessness, forsaking, crushing one's dreams, not able to deliver, shock, taking the road most traveled, far off course, miscommunication, emotional storms

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

The most important thing today is to be prepared to respond.  Do not wait around if something crosses your path.  

Several things are in play today, so let's take them one at a time:

CIRCULAR PATHS:  Mercury moves to the Sabian symbol of "circular paths," and with it comes situations that feel like repeats.  It can be hard to see options or new ways or ways out.  It's easy to fall into hopelessness and powerlessness because we tend to think that progress or change is not happening when this energy is in effect.  This symbol, however, implies that things are not the same as they were "last time around."  Humanity has awakened and gained wisdom since the last time.  The cycle has changed.  This alone provides help with the hopelessness, but we have even more help with this because...

THE SUN IS DISSEMINATING THE ENERGY OF "A CARAVAN OF CARS HEADED FOR PROMISED LANDS" We are headed into new territory, pioneering the Second Renaissance, and we are headed there to together!  This symbol is the opposite of "circular paths."  Instead of going in circles, we are going in a straight line.  It is good to venture into anything new that presents itself today in order to check it out.  We want to be cautious that we aren't being rooked, so watch what the other hand is doing and watch for attempts to divert you from your own path.  

9:24 pm ET/1:24 am UT: Venus will finally, after 10 days, move to a new degree, the degree of "brilliant sunshine just after the storm."  This energy discusses how perhaps some of the storms in our lives are truly over and how things that have blocked, clogged, and bogged us are retreating.  It's wonderful energy to resolve things or clear things up.  This is the image we should hold today: brilliant sunlight.  Renewal is at hand.

11:45 pm ET/3:45 am UT: The Moon will conjunct Jupiter at the degree of "a harem."  This energetic is widely in effect (because it is Jupiter) so there is a tendency to wait around to be chosen.  This is exactly the mindset we do NOT need today.  We need to be responsive, not submissive.  We do not need to wait around for something or someone that we feel has authority.  We think for ourselves.

2:43 am ET/6:43 am UT: The Sun will oppose Chiron tomorrow.  This dynamic first brings wounding, then it brings healing, then we gain wisdom from it.  The Sun will still be discharging "a caravan of cars headed for promised lands," and Chiron is discharging "a table set for an evening meal."  The best laid plans may go awry.  This is ok because there is something more that is to develop. Or, even better, it may lead to new plans and new opportunities.  We want to engage the power of the pioneer and follow where this month's carrier pigeon leads us.  Divine messages and guidance continue all the way to the New Moon on Sunday.  What prizes, rewards, or treasures still await?

Wise owls prepare to take their place in line (the caravan) to spread their wings over the world this weekend.  The "Love Prevails" meditation from July 17 (which I now like to call the "Wings Around the World" meditation) will be Sunday, September 13, the day of the Virgo New Moon.  If you are inclined, you can perform the meditation anytime this Sunday (September 13) after 2:41 am ET/6:41 am UT.  I will prepare everything in advance of the exact time of the New Moon.  No dogma here; adapt this to your preference:

"WINGS AROUND THE WORLD" GROUP MEDITATION

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2015

A group meditation that occurs at individual times is the mission.  If you are inclined, sometime today, perhaps in the time you would have ordinarily read today's report, please join me in a gathering of minds.  Picture:

• Your shield of divine protection
• Yourself taking flight as a wise owl
• Yourself taking your place in a ring around the Earth with the other wise owls around the world
• From your heart, emanate a wave of alignment with love, freedom, and the value of life
• Feel the pulse circle as the music we are putting around our sphere
• Repeat what you know in your heart: "Love prevails."

Please modify this according to your own practice and style.  I have already prepared the space for the "ring of wings around the world."  Let's keep our minds focused on the bigger picture today.

"I told you that we could fly.  Because we all have wings.  But some of us don't know why." --INXS, Never Tear Us Apart

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, clear, dream

Moon in Leo

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Wisdom: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: trust

True Alignments: patience, amusement, ability to laugh at oneself, awards of achievement, coping, taking a break to gain strength and re-focus, passing along information, listening, giving and receiving, acceptance

Catalysts for Change: too much too fast, going in circles, lack of experience, detrimentally overindulging, lack of courage, refusing to do things a different way, unsatisfied, apathy, monotony, doing for another instead of teaching or helping one do for oneself, competing for domination, going sideways or off the track, scattered

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Today there is one mission, and it is a critical one because we are in an important time - a very mystical and historical time. 

The mission is to trust.

The reason today's mission is to trust is because the primary energetic in play today is Mars at the degree of "intoxicated chickens dizzily flapping their wings trying to fly."  Frustration and doubt easily arise in us.  We want to break limitations, but it can seem almost against all odds, making us want to try harder.  But, at this stage of things, our efforts don't have to be graceful or perfect, they just have to happen.  It's the trying that counts, especially when it is against all odds.  To do that, we trust that we will get there.

As discussed yesterday, the power of belief is at maximum levels between now and the New Moon in Virgo on Sunday.  I've kept yesterday's post below for review because today's report is a continuation of yesterday's and so on until the New Moon.

The power to fertilize the "field of the future" is happening right now.  The mindset we hold - FEAR OR LOVE- is the determinant of the course of the future and the Second Renaissance of Consciousness or the Return of Wisdom.

For our purposes, this translates to monitoring the "fields" of our minds through the remainder of the Moon phase (the 100 Hours in yesterday's report).  Where is your mind set?  Is it set on love - as in the harvest and abundance, or is it set on fear - as in broken chaffs and withered potential?  The approach of the Sun and Moon's path through the harvest fields of Virgo can bring either.  Both exist; we choose our field - consciously or not.

Here, we strive to be wise owls not dizzy chickens.  We recognize that the success of the "field" has as much to do with the quality of the soil as it does with the strength of the seed's genes.  Even the fiercest genes struggle in poor soil.  So we want to clean up and nurture our minds and make sure that we are holding a higher mindset of harmony and love, against what may seem to be strong odds in the world now.

And this is where we come back to trust because sometimes that is the only thing we have left to try.  If you are struggling to feel positive and hopeful about the future, you are feeling the effects of the greater dynamics that I discussed in the "Messages in a Bottle" audios (a trauma response to the geopolitical assault that is forming).  At it's core, this is a reaction to something that happened in the past.  It's important that we see how things are not the same way now.  Is what you are feeling an imprint from the past or truly going on in the here and now?

Be aware that the Moon will conjunct Mars at the "dizzy chickens" degree at 3:58 pm ET/7:58 pm UT, enhancing the overall effect that builds all day.

The Sun will disseminate the energy of "a swimming race," which often brings emotional overload.  If we are comparing ourselves to others in some way, we are wasting precious time and energy.

Mercury will disseminate the degree of "in the heat of noon, a man takes a siesta."  Dizzy chickens and wise owls alike will need a break at some point today, most likely when the high light of high noon brings clarity about something.

This clarity that is delivered is something that has been trying to find us since June 29/30.  Venus has been at the degree of "a pageant moving along a street packed with people" for 9 days - since September 1.  Venus usually moves about one degree each day!  That's one long parade.  Venus had something she wanted each of us to see - what we personally value.  What has the drama revealed to you?

Tomorrow, Venus finally moves to "brilliant sunshine just after the storm."  Do we trust that sunshine returns after a storm?  It happens all the time.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, clear

Moon in Leo

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South, God of Waves)

Skill: clear the field of your mind/fertilize it with light, love, happiness, and harmony to PRODUCE a beautiful future

True Alignments: renewed faith, capturing fleeting moments of joy, setting a good pace, the power of belief, magic, trust, expressions of self, opening space for new ideas/attitudes/possibilities, moderation, revival, curiosity leading to answers, using the tools we have, keeping it simple, children

Catalysts for Change: narrow-minded, not growing up, unproductive or inefficient, wasting, giving away the power to decide for oneself, too serious, overblowing or overstating, greed, hysteria

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

When you follow the cycles of nature and the music of the spheres, space, time, and experience begins to flow in a different way.

So in the Gregorian count (calendar), it's a Wednesday - the middle of the archontic matrix's "work week" and almost the end of a "fiscal quarter" with all that this entails and produces in the world.

But in the natural cycle of the Sun and Moon, it's the first day of the Balsamic phase of the Leo cycle.  In short, this means that between now and the New Moon in Virgo on Sunday, we have some of the best "conditions" to have a direct influence on the future - the next two months in particular.  We have the best opportunity to put our wise owl wings over the world to assist in the restoration of peace, balance, and sanity.

Usually, the Oracle Report focuses mostly on the daily energetics, and it is today as well.  But it is important to think bigger over the next four days - the days of the Balsamic Moon phase.  It is important to maintain a mindset that is looking at "time" a little differently.

In a way, the next four days could be thought of as one day that is about 100 hours long.

Does that sound daunting?  Well, there is nothing to feel overwhelmed about because it is always like this, we just don't tend to think of it this way.  It's this way each Moon phase.  It's one explanation of why when we are having emotional, mental, or physical challenges, we don't feel "better" when a new day begins or even when the Moon moves to a new sign.  The natural way of life is structured and organized around the eight phases of the Sun and Moon.  Things always change when the Moon phase changes.

How does that make you feel?

Does it take a little pressure off, causing relief and maybe a sense of expansion?  Or does it feel out of control and too flow-y?

There is no right answer.  But your answer may explain how you experience the next four days influences the future.  If you can think of them as a totality of one (or better yet, Oneness), and understand that they are an opportunity to make a direct impact on your own future and the world at large, does it produce a shift?

Today, we are finishing out the Sun's dissemination of "a volcanic eruption" and the potential for people, places, and things to suddenly "erupt" comes with it.  It's very easy for things to burn hot, burn quickly, and burn out.  So the wisdom is to pace ourselves and to step back and think about things before reacting.  Having a light-hearted attitude will help. That's really all we need to know about today. 

But something much grander is happening beneath the heavy layers.  The universe asks us to make a "wish list."  The field of consciousness is as ripe as it gets to implant a vision.  So when we hold a vision of the world as a happy and freely expressed place, we make it so.

The world as happy and free is the future.  But it is also now, though still somewhat buried under sand or dust or water, or however you see it.  This world is rising.  Wouldn't we want to be part of that instead of part of the parts that are falling?  Why be on the losing team when the losing team lacks integrity?  No fun.

Mercury moves to the degree of the Sabian symbol of "children blowing soap bubbles."  We are all on Gaia Sophia's playground blowing bubbles.  Thought bubbles are magical right now.  They float far away and will pop with potential at the New Moon.

Today, let's step out of the path of any volcanic eruptions and choose instead to make some magic with our minds.  Envision a beautiful world over the next 100 hours and see how that changes your own experience.

Perception - belief - is everything right now.

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign

Moon in Cancer/Leo (10:36 pm ET/2:36 pm UT)

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: behold wonder; gently release

True Alignments: prayers, gratitude, no resistance, imagination, childlike (not childish), creativity, integrating the unintegrated or unknown, evolving aspects evolving, flashes of inspiration, quietly observing, flow, delivery, heart fire, in unison, quality over quantity

Catalysts for Change:  going through the motions, flimsy, making a scene, ego taking over as a defense, feeling superior, emotional eruptions, confrontation, conflict, clashes, holding back, resistance, against the wind

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

As the day continues, we move from energy that has rather unique features that spark curiosity to energy where all kinds of other things can spark off. 

The Sun will discharge the energy of "children crowd around the orangutan cage in a zoo" until 7:43 pm ET/11:43 pm UTDo you feel cagey or caged?  Or maybe in awe or wonderment? This symbol brings us into closer contact with the unusual or the inspirational.

Closer contact may turn into outright eruptions as the Sun will then begin to disseminate the energy of "a volcanic eruption."  Things that have been building up are released, often in dramatic displays.  Volatility and intense anger can surface,  "Smoke" may be seen as advance warning (intuition will give cues).

The planet that rules anger and explosions is Mars, and Mars, which is in Leo, a fire sign, is firing off "American Indians perform a ritual to the Sun."  We are directed to return to nature and to direct our thanks to the being embodied as our Sun.  Giving thanks is always good, but this energy makes it particularly potent in its effects.

There's more fire, though.  Mars in fiery Leo is making a trine (120 degree angle - sets things in place and facilitates) to Uranus in fiery Aries.  Uranus is the Planet of Changes and Planet of the Unexpected.  Change and the unexpected opens space for better ways.  But these things may come about abruptly.  If it seems that the new way is not a better way, this is only because the silver lining has not yet been revealed.  This is the nature of Uranus.  The outcome can only be good.  You can count on it.  Uranus is discharging the energy of "a young girl feeding birds in winter."  Nurturance and assistance in a time of need underlies Uranus' motives right now.

Since we are building up to a release -- a catharsis of sorts -- we will endeavor to do this gently.  We aim to be gentle with ourselves and gentle with the fellowship of humanity.  It's a wonder to behold.  Maybe even spectacular.

Notes:  Throughout the night last night, this owl recorded a series of audio "messages" in a last-ditch effort to fulfill this month's mission of delivering information.  In Message 1, I discuss why this has been so difficult this past lunar month, and how we were unable to record the New Moon Overview or the "Parliament of Wise Owls: Evidence for the Second Renaissance" despite our attempts.  I also discuss the status of Oracle Academy.  I also talk about discontinuing the monthly automatic deductions to Oracle Report.  The Donation button remains here.  Thank you all for your love and support!  I hope that you enjoy my all-night talk around the campfire about the messages in a bottle.

Saturday, September 5 - Sunday, September 6, 2015

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign

Moon in Gemini /Cancer (Sunday 1:40 pm ET/5:40 pm UT)

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: skim lightly

True Alignments: depth of feeling, tokens and expressions of love, practice, lightening up, relaxation and rest, new arrangements or rearrangement, attention to detail, crafting or creating, brought together, wild cards, tradition, the wisdom of experience, changing focus, magnetism, witty, inner beauty shining out, bare truth, taking cues from a higher power, out of the ordinary bounds and into new territory, operating in the light of day

Catalysts for Change:  gloomy, traps and trappings, uprooted, false impressions, flaunting, disconnection, belief in superiority, blaming the messenger, unsympathetic, rigidity, self-indulgence at the expense of others, not based in reality, not recognizing value, emotionally untethered

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Venus stations direct Sunday around 4:30 am ET/8:30 am UT.  Venus stationed retrograde at 01 Virgo on July 25 at the Sabian symbol of "in a portrait, the best of a man's features and traits are idealized."  During its retrograde, Venus wanted us to see things clearly.  

Venus retrograde has asked us to see what we truly value.  What has been over-idealized or over-idolized?  Venus has wanted us to see reality, not illusion or inflated representation.  It wants us to see truth. 

When Venus is retrograde, it puts stress on relationships so that they can come to a higher level.

Today, the final opportunity for this comes like a "pageant moving along a street packed with people," the Sabian symbol for 15 Leo and the degree where Venus stations direct.  The spectacle of what we've seen about ourselves and others, and how we define true love makes it unmistakable.  If we are looking (standing on the street watching), we will gain the wisdom that Venus has intended.

Venus stationing direct is the big story this weekend, but other themes are also in play:

TRAPS:  Is something or someone trying to outfox us?  Images that are facades or disguises are more easily presented.  It is also easy to fall into the trap of feeling unworthy or undeserving of goodness.  Potential for "false flag" operations is higher this weekend. 

HISTORY: Where do your roots run?  Do they run deep?  To what are you committed?  No matter what our family history or situation, we are all rooted deeply with the Earth, Gaia Sophia.  Memories and traditions come back to us to reconnect us with who we truly are.  Situations may develop where we feel "uprooted" or unconnected with our grander self and a grander power.  We will not be misdirected.

RE-EXAMINATION:  This weekend, Mercury, the Messenger, is disseminating the energy of "a professor peering over his glasses at his students" and "miners emerging from a coalmine."  Situations develop to give us a different and deeper lens of perception.  This is the perfect time for this because we are now in the Third Quarter Moon phase, the time of the lunar cycle where we re-assess and revise.  This lunar cycle, Spirit has sought to deliver us a message - an important one, and Third Quarter is the last attempt at delivery.  It's time to come out of the dark.

DELICACY:  A long time ago, my grandmother wrote a poem entitled "Skim Lightly."  The first line goes:

Skim lightly o'er the fires of life

We want to skim lightly this weekend.  We want to take delicate care of what we love and weave appreciation throughout it.

This weekend, find delicate beauty.  And know that you are loved.

Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Gemini

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill: engage inner equilibrium

True Alignments:  finding calm, experiences that make us stronger, new discoveries, observant, valor, symbolism, talent, ability to turn things around, following your heart's desire, review, navigating difficult situations through compromise, rearranging, experience

Catalysts for Change:  foolish, not resting when one needs to rest, difficulty adjusting to new situations, misuse of something, defeated, trying to control someone's mind or actions, taking unfair advantage, missing the details, pretense, battle-weary, insensitive to others, lack of desire

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Today's energy has high potential to take us through "dangerous" waters of the mind - mindsets that can take us off course and into despair.  Chaos and disequilibrium make for rough rapids, but wise owls ban together to hold the line and maintain inner equilibrium.

The Sun is discharging the energetic of "a powerful statesman overcomes a state of political hysteria."  Mercury is discharging the energy of "a canoe approaching safety through dangerous waters."  This can cause things in our individual lives and the world at large to get out of hand and carried too far. 

Paradoxically, feelings of inner hysteria (feelings of anxiety, fear, concern, worry, sadness, hopelessness) are happening to fortify our will - our attitude, character, power, resolve, conviction, volition, desire, courage, determination, and mettle.

The world is in flux right now, and we are, too, but both Sabian symbols show positive outcomes.  The statesman overcomes and the canoe approaches safety.

As Venus prepares to station direct (or appears to move forward in the sky again) tomorrow, it is helping us align with balance, sanity, peace, love, freedom, and destiny.  Venus has been retrograde since July 25, and during this time the values we hold have been undergoing transformation.  Ideals, as well as illusions, have been examined.  We have different ideas about what it means to be happy.

Things that we thought were "ideal" may now seem much less so.

Alchemy is in play to transform people, places, and things from one state of being to another.  New combinations, elements, or "ingredients" are mixed together now to refresh what is truly of value to us.

Holding the line (maintaining a strong center and inner equilibrium) amidst chaos is an act of love for the fellowship of humanity.  In Gnostic terms, we are couched within the mind of the aeon Gaia Sophia (Wisdom) and within the arms of the aeon Thelete (Will).  We unite our wisdom with our will.  When we do, we see that a grand drama is unfolding, and we take up our part.  We already know it will work out well.  The Sabian symbols tell us that we overcome and we are safe. 

Let's maintain a firm connection with the planet and step back from the fear that is pushed today.  Wise owls hold the line.

Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Taurus

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of the South)

Skill:  watch and listen carefully

True Alignments: eye candy, respect for the past, reaching full potential, greeting in a new way, breaking down barriers, commitment, leaps of faith, relating to others, doing something a different way, qualified, the rise of the rank and file, entering into a new part of life

Catalysts for Change: tricks, impractical, over-valuing appearance, bouncing around, afraid to join in, standing in shadows, stubbornness, commitment issues, broken promises, "rubbing it in," judgmental, scandal

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission" (messages)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

EXPOSURE:  Today, what was concealed is revealed.  Truth, especially true feelings, true intentions, and true motivations, are exposed.  This could come about in dramatic shows or displays so that we get the message.  So, once again, anything that "stands out" or "shows out" is happening to see something important.

HEARING AND OVERHEARING: In addition to what we see today, what we hear is also very important.  Background noise, conversations, synchronicities, correspondences, and anything that is overheard is trying to be heard.  In general, people want to be heard today.  Weaving through this, forming an underpinning, is the spirit of unity that is bringing like-minded people, ideas, and projects together.  True coalitions are forming.

DESTINY:  Early today, the Black Moon moved to the 2nd degree of Libra, beginning to discharge the energy of "the light of the sixth race transmuted to the seventh" through September 11.  Mercury was at this degree last Friday (August 28), so things that occurred on that day may recur in some way or be resolved in some way.

But the reason for the "destiny" heading is because the North Node (destiny) is conjunct the Black Moon.  This dynamic changes the "order" of things.  New orders are implemented.  This is an unprecedented opportunity for complete overhaul and reform that is a rare occurrence.  The Black Moon and the North Node make a conjunction (meet up at the same place in the sky) for only week every nine years.  This dynamic leads us into the next New Moon, which is going to be a pivotal month.

If there is something you want to overhaul, reform, transmute, or rise above in your life, now is a good time for that because the energetics strongly support it.

Keep in mind that this energetic is about a new, more spiritually-aligned advancement of things, not a return to a "lower" level.   Attempts to the contrary will not be successful.

TESTS:  Situations may arise where we feel like we are being tested or judged by others, possibly people to whom we have given away our power.  Is division being pushed through manipulation and lies?  Remember that truth is being exposed today.

REPETITION:  Helping to "transmute the sixth race to the seventh," today Jupiter moves to the sixth degree of Virgo: "a merry-go-round."  This is in effect until September 6th, which is also the day Venus stations direct (appears to move forward in the sky).  Between now and September 6, issues within romantic relationships (and blasts from the past) come up again to move to a different level or status.  We do not need to do the same thing or repeat mistakes over and over again.  We can do it differently.  We are powerful, and all of the energy supports growth now.

We are watching and listening today.  Pay attention to things happening in threes or the number three.  This month's "carrier pigeon" may be trying to get your attention this way to help us get the message.

Disseminating Moon Phase: communicate, share

Moon in Aries

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres:

We move into the Disseminating phase of the Moon today, the time when interpersonal communications are at a high for the month, enabling us to provide and receive feedback and information that is important to our development and to the fullest expression of who we are. Information rains down from the sky.

Today the Sun is located at the degree of "two heads looking out and beyond the shadows."
We are wise to step outside of ourselves and our own perceptions and look at things from other perspectives -- from another's point of view or from the other side's point of view.  We look at things a different way.

A primary result of looking at both sides of something is RE-EVALUATION.  "Value" is the key part of the word.  When we change our perception, we change our mind, and this changes our "value system."  What we deem as worthy or treasurable comes to a new level. 

Also, Venus' retrograde through September 6 is taking our views of the past into wider arenas precisely for the same purpose of overhauling what we value.  Venus' light wants us to see reality, and, continuing from yesterday, it will make things "stand out" in order for us to recognize them.  Things may "come apart" or deconstruct into smaller parts in order for us to take in or "process" the wisdom and understand.

Today's energetics naturally involve a level of duality or division with situations so that we can take in a bigger view, but we won't let that divide and conquer us.  The process of seeing other sides or ways or possibilities actually unifies and integrates. 

If things appear to be coming apart, it is more likely that they are being re-evaluated.

One of my favorite books as a youngster was Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach.  A mishap (or what was perceived as a mishap) occurs when a magic potion meant to bring happiness and great adventures is accidentally spilled onto a peach.  The magic is so powerful that it delivers happiness and great adventures to James (and the creatures inhabiting the peach when it was transformed) even through the mishap.  It still happened; it just didn't happen the way James envisioned (or wanted) it to happen.

When we look at things a different way, we see that there is more going on than meets the eye.  We engage the magic.  This is our mission to fulfill today.

Full Moon Phase: enlightenment, clarity

Moon in Aries

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairavi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart; The Fierce One)

God of Will/Wisdom: Kathe (God of The South, God of Waves)

Skill:  see what stands out and understand the message

True Alignments:  receiving knowledge and information that is needed, individualism, anti-establishment, festive, seeing what lasts, inner wisdom, originality, solidarity, wonder of nature, accessing the inner child

Catalysts for Change:  stubborn, unworthiness, perfectionism, frozen in the past, impulsivity, ego-centricity and the markings and trappings of overblown ego (which is merely fear that is masked), closing off, not listening, superficial, overly-reliant, hyper-competitive

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission" (divine guidance and messages)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

Multiple things are happening in the sky today to change the energetics of the way life feels and what we experience:

SUN OPPOSES NEPTUNE/EARTH CONJUNCTS NEPTUNE: This only happens one day each year.  This year, a flood of emotions and clarity brings forward plans for the future.  Lines are drawn; connections are made.  Our decisions and actions are always motivated by what we value, but today it clearly stands out and is easy to see.  In turn, what others value is also evident.  Things may develop quite swiftly and may require additional attention or quick judgment.  The Earth and Neptune are conjunct (in the same place in the sky) and co-disseminating the energy of 9 Pisces - "the race begins; intent on outdistancing his rivals, a jockey spurs his horse to great speed." 

What are you trying to win?  Wisdom is revealed within this question today, uncloaking a greater insight that may have been nebulous.  How we answer the question, especially in context of relationships, plays out with plans for the future.

 MARS CONJUNCTS VENUS at 01:02 am ET/5:02 am UT tonight, but builds all day, adding the emphasis on relationships mentioned above.  The masculine and feminine energies unite at 15 Leo and "a pageant moving along a street packed with people."  Things are outstanding in that they "stand out" to us - perhaps rather dramatically.  What is being highlighted or paraded before you?  It's a message, for sure, continuing the dynamic this month of messages and information being delivered to us from "on high."

THE MOON ENTERS ARIES FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE BLACK MOON ENTERED LIBRA, making today the first "Black Moon Day" for the Black Moon's transit of Libra.  Long time readers know that Black Moon Days have a way of bringing out everyone's shadow side -- fears and trapped power.  People project their own feelings about themselves onto others.  Harsh self-judgment, feelings of worthlessness, and feelings of being undeserving (as if there is such a thing) can crop up.  This dynamic asks us to see our own value and to paint the painting of our lives as a unique being.  All of the emotions that flood in today contribute to the various grades and shades of our personal painting.

URANUS MOVES TO 20 ARIES, off of the Eris Point and the corresponding Sabian symbol of "a boxer entering the ring."  Uranus, Planet of Changes, which is retrograde and revising the state of everything, now begins to disseminate the energy of "a young girl feeding birds in winter."  Situations can go "cold" in order for something else to emerge or be seen -- something that leads to the highest and best for all involved.  Energy that was previously fed into cold or lifeless situations will no longer be able to be sustained.  This is a major shift.

SATURN MOVES TO THE LAST DEGREE OF SCORPIO, beginning to disseminate the energy of "children in Halloween costumes indulging in various pranks."  Since it's Saturn, an extra potential for tricks and hijinks exists until September 18.  And since it is also a "Black Moon day," tricks can come from behind the shadows today and tomorrow.  Don't be fooled or taken into an abyss of hopelessness and self-criticism.  That's a trick.

Today we are wise to pay attention to what stands out -- what the divine feminine and divine masculine want us to see and understand.  We are painting the picture of the future today, but we just may find that heaven on earth exists right here, right now.

Full Moon Phase: realization

Moon in Pisces

Goddess of Wisdom: Bhairvi (Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart)

God of Will/Desire: Kathe (God of The South, God of Waves)

Skill: align with faith, potential, recovery, and full light

True Alignments:  like-minded people coming together, pioneering, commonality, wild streak, perceiving new levels, new beginnings, charm, rising above, stability, hearing the message, pleasure, release of the past, darkness lifting and lightening up, practice and discipline, talents revealed (perhaps long-forgotten talents), focus, loyalty

Catalysts for Change:  dependency, initially having difficulty comprehending (but then gaining insight), crashing, hopeless, giving up on dreams, jealousy, chaos, domination, fear of old traumas returning, hyper-competitive, uncontrolled passions, self-deprecating, strong need to be noticed, uncomfortable, continual re-starts

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a carrier pigeon fulfilling its mission" (divine guidance)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

The full light of the Full Moon begins today, along with the blazing light of the element of fire.  This Full Moon is the Fire Moon.

Not only is this the Full Moon of the Leo cycle, ruled by the Sun itself and ruler of the element fire, but the Sabian symbols this weekend are all about illumination.  The symbols involved with the locations of the planets include the illumination of shafts of light, brilliant sunlight after a storm, the dawning of a new day (beginning),  and the enlightenment of a campfire.

For all of the blessings, gifts, and insight that can come from a "Fire Moon," full light can blind and can sting.  We are aware that this accompanies the engagement of wisdom, and stay the course until our eyes adjust.

"Adjustment" is a key word this weekend because there is great potential for dramatic life changes.  If you are experiencing this, the changes are coming from a very deep place inside.  New life is trying to emerge from the corners of what has been shadowed.  Dive into the great void and let it heal you.  Immersion in the void is not surrendering to circumstance or emotion; it is a brave journey to be washed clean.  It isn't the end; it is the beginning.

All month long we are receiving divine messages and guidance, but this amps up with the Full Moon and also with Mars at the degree "cherub-like, a human soul whispers, seeking to manifest."  Spirit descends.  We can perceive it more easily when we realize that it is invisible but appears within the subtleties and synchronicities of the very visible natural world.  What message seeks to find you?

As we gaze at the Fire Moon, let's also turn to the Sun.  The Full Moon would not be possible without the Sun.  If you are lucky enough to have a campfire to watch this weekend, take advantage.  If not, candlelight will do just fine.  What flickers?
