First Quarter Moon Phase: take action; step outside of the box

Moon in Aquarius

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will):  Elias, God of the West

Skill:  lighten up; feed your head

True Alignments:  unseen assistance, changing a habit, establishing things, inner connection, self nurturing, non judgmental, comfort, things that are good sustenance, coming to terms with something, helping others

Catalysts for Change:  distrust and mistrust, sabotage and self sabotage, over reliance, things that have "gone cold,"  ineffective, "castrated" for something, trying to win approval (approve of yourself), being forced out, manipulation, outbursts of anger

Mars is the name of the game this week, and today Mars becomes very active.

When Mars is activated, we are activated.  Mars rules our energy, how we use our energy, our drive to accomplish and achieve, taking action, taking new directions, the ability to get things done, and going after what our heart desires.

Mars also rules the opposites of those things: having no energy, lack of drive to accomplish or achieve, not taking action, not taking new directions, the inability to get things done, and not going after what our heart desires.  When the "negative" polarity of Mars is activated, anger and its opposite, depression, build up.

On days like today, what has built up can blow up.  Mars and Mercury are making a square, and Mars and Neptune are making a sextile, both leading up to the conjunction of Mars and Pluto (October 13-19).

So, today there will be tendencies for tempers to flare, road rage, impulsivity, not thinking things through to their potential consequences, difficulty making decisions, warlike behavior, pushing hard to be the best or win, identity crises, anger, tantrums, and selfishness.

In kind, there is ample energy for channeling energies into things that are productive, making a mark, speeding through something, solving and resolving, turning something around, and taking a leap of faith.

Be aware that the aspects of Mercury and Neptune with Mars bring potential for extreme distortion of thoughts and perceptions.  It can be harder to discern reality or the truth about ourselves and others.  Don't get carried away with the chatter of negative self talk.  Dispatch the thoughts; they do not serve.

Venus and Chiron are in aspect today, as well, which is pressing on wounds of the heart if they are there.

The Mars-Pluto conjunction is transforming and revitalizing our energy bodies.  The conjunction occurs at 16 Capricorn: "school grounds filled with boys and girls in gymnasium suits."  This energetic activates hormone levels as it tries to teach us something and restore our level of overall "fitness" for our missions on Earth.

Today Mars is discharging "an albatross feeding from the hand of a sailor."  People, places, and things that are usually on opposite sides can come together.  Things that have weighed us down can be lifted.

A similar energetic is in effect with the Earth discharging "a young girl feeding birds in winter."

(It may feel like "winter" in some ways, but it matters not to us because Mercury is discharging "a blazing fireplace in a deserted home."  The inner home fire always burns.  It is always there to sustain us no matter how far away we go.)

The idea of "feeding our heads" comes to mind, which brings to mind Jefferson Airplane's song "White Rabbit," and, as if there was a divine message encoded, today Venus discharges "a rabbit metamorphosed into a fairy."

Today we will endeavor to lighten up AND feed our heads.

P.S. Today the Sun is discharging the energetic of "a Jewish rabbi performing his duties."  This involves the themes of discipline, ritual, and tradition.  Where does this fit in today?

UPDATE FOR SUBSCRIBERS:  If you are having any problems, send us an email at members@oraclereportacademy.com.  Andrew is working on uploading the "P.S." to the Libra 2016 recording, which, despite being less than five minutes long, is being stubborn.  We will have that up ASAP.

First Quarter Moon Phase:  take action; step outside of the box

Moon in Aquarius

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings; Bhairavi, Goddess Who Fortifies the Heart

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will):  Elias, God of the West

Skill:  fluidly adjust with shifts and changes

True Alignments:  ideas coming to life, lifting up, getting on with it, appropriate outlets for anger, the truth soon coming to light, taking someone seriously, new opportunities, loyalty, following one's conscience, pledges of allegiance, the heart's desire, satisfaction, understanding consequences, acts of kindness/beauty/creativity

Catalysts for Change:  exploiting something and carrying it too far (Mercury moving into conjunction with Jupiter expands this potential greatly), hyper dominant, cowardly, obscuring the truth, difficulty coping, making something/someone fearful in order to control it/them, off on a tangent, escapism, lack of integrity, trying to get someone to go along with something that is against their conscience

Wise owls, today we come to the mid-point of the solar-lunar year that began on April 7, 2016, when we had the New Moon at 19 Aries:  "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery."

Today, the Earth, Gaia Sophia, discharges this degree, bringing us to the middle.

In a way, we could say that since April, we have been riding along the currents that the Sun (Sabaoth to the ancient Gnostics) has been directing.  Now, for the second half of the year, the Earth begins to direct the currents.  Sabaoth took things this far, Sophia takes it from here.  The solar-lunar (natural) year is a collaboration.  Always.

The Earth "takes the torch" to further this year's mission of the magic carpet energetic (the mission to help us transcend).

This happens today as we begin a week that builds toward Thursday, when the Sun will make conjunction with the Eris Point AND when Mars begins its 6-day transit of conjunction with Pluto (exact conjunction October 19).  Mars and Pluto will drastically transform the structure of many different things during that time frame.  (The conjunction occurs at 16 Capricorn: "school grounds filled with boys and girls in gymnasium suits."  More on this tomorrow.)

So we understand that today is a transition point in and of itself -- the transition into the second half of the energetics for this solar-lunar year.  We understand that a generalized "shift" is occurring.  When this happens, sensitive people often feel it in their bodies or psyches or hearts, but may have little with which to associate or contextualize it.  The cycles of the Sun, Moon, and Earth provide this association and context.

The "generalized shift" can manifest in "generalized" feelings of anxiety, fear, hopelessness, lack or loss of control, detachment, and physical issues of insomnia, panic, stress, and post-traumatic stress.  If you experience any of these today, try to de-personalize it as much as possible.  The things that are happening are much greater than any one of us, so it follows that the energetics would be strongly felt.  Sensitive people are more sensitive to it, thus feel it even more.

It would be hard for ANYONE to miss the fact today that things are shifting.  It will manifest in the events of the day.

Let's see what else is playing in to today's energetics of shift:

1- GAINING UNFAIR ADVANTAGE - The Sun is discharging "a gang of robbers in hiding," and Venus discharges "hunters shooting wild ducks."  Both symbols indicate an energetic opportunity to take or gain an advantage at someone else's expense.  This will backfire, probably by Thursday when the Sun makes opposition with the Eris Point (and the Earth making conjunction with it).  I would strongly advise making a judgment on an outcome of anything until after Thursday.  What things appear to be today is NOT what they will be by Thursday.

2 - THEATRE - This lunar month we are "visiting" a "special room of an art gallery" - a creative production- and today we also "take in the theatre," with Mars beginning to discharge the energetic of "a theatrical representation of a golden-haired goddess of opportunity."  We will certainly be taking in the theatre, watching the exhibition, and marveling at the display over the next two days. 

What is reality and what is fantasy?  What is just too good to be true, too perfectly played? 

3 - FEEDING THE SOUL - Tomorrow (October 11) at 5:37 am ET/9:37 am UT, Mercury will conjunct Jupiter at 07 Libra: "a woman feeding chickens and protecting them from the hawks."  This dynamic is protective and it guides us.  We are cared for when this degree of the zodiac is activated.  Geophysical effects should be expected with the conjunction of Mercury and Jupiter (per the Electric Universe Principle).  Volcanoes, in particular, may become more active.

Be aware also that Venus will make a trine with Chiron at 8:00 am ET/noon UT tomorrow, which will put focus on relationships and what is needed to heal them if something needs healing.  The trine occurs in water signs, so it may be quite emotional.

At the middle of the year today, no matter what is displayed and exhibited before us, we remember that the meta-physics of the art-science of astrology tells us that this year is a time of transcendence.  All of the planets are harmonized to this theme.  It underpins the year -- naturally.

Happy Middle Day, everyone!

First Quarter Moon Phase: step out of comfort zone

Moon in Capricorn

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Elias, God of the Wes

Skill:  choose from below

True Alignments:  ventures and adventures, opening up or coming clean, respect, self care, not conforming, courage, communicating thoughts and ideas with others, releasing a struggle, quiet time, objectivity, inner calm, transmissions, waiting for all of the information, regaining

Catalysts for Change:  tricks, pulled into dark activities, feeling stuck, gossip, breaking a confidence, copping out, pushing oneself too hard, painting a false picture of a situation, arrested development, believing things will never be as good as they were, harsh self-criticism, neglect, placing restrictions and conditions

Well, how did that Sun-Pluto square treat you yesterday? 

Compared to the past week, the planets are quite calm this weekend.

SATURDAY'S THEMES INVOLVE:

1- REFLECTING; OBSERVING THE COMINGS AND GOINGS OF LIFE - The Sun is discharging "a retired sea captain watches ships entering and leaving the harbor."  When this energetic is in effect, people, places, and things "leave" our lives, and people, places, and things "enter" our lives.  We tend to recollect or look back on memories.  Also, if excitement or a feeling of being "alive" is missing from our experience, we often look back into the past for it.  It is a better idea to think of how the sea captain in this symbol is retired.  He misses his old life, but he is wiser to accept a new era of his life, using his time to follow his heart's desires to make his life more fulfilling now.  The sea captain finds the inner Renaissance Man/Woman.

2- LOOSEN UP - The Earth is discharging the energetic of "two prim spinsters sitting together in silence."  This symbol involves opening up to new people, places, and themes, echoing the wisdom of the Sun discharging the "sea captain" energy.  Emotional blockages, walls, and barriers want to come down with this degree of the zodiac.  Branch out (which is the missive of First Quarter Moon phase).

3- CHATTER, CONVERSATIONS, AND BACKGROUND NOISE - Venus is discharging "a parrot listening and then talking, repeats a conversation he has overheard," while Mars continues to discharge "birds in a house singing happily."  Birds, birds, birds.  Birds represent spiritual messengers.  What is "spoken" this weekend has impact.  Spirit "transmits" information to use through the voices of the birds and bards and the things that we happen to overhear.  We want to turn our listening skills "up to 11," vigilant for key pieces of information.  (On the macro level, the theme of war is being "chatted up" dramatically.)

The Moon will conjunct Pluto Saturday night at 9:57 pm ET/Sunday morning at 1:57 am UT.  This combo will trigger or re-activate things that were in effect with yesterday's Sun-Pluto square.  It may be helpful to go back and read yesterday's Oracle Report and "reflect" like the sea captain, and see how we now feel about the things that are being affected.  Friday's report remains posted below and on the Home page of oraclereport.com.  Yesterday was a pivotal day.

SUNDAY'S THEMES INVOLVE:

1- STOPPED; PAUSING BEFORE REACTING - The Sun is discharging "two men placed under arrest."  When this symbol is in effect, we can be very critical of ourselves and very critical of others.  It is important not to "jump the gun" or react too soon with things.  More things may be revealed before the final outcome occurs.  Self-sabotage and feeling stuck is somewhat heightened when a planet discharges this degree.  We also see the beliefs, feelings, and situations that no longer serve or provide anything positive.

2- GIVING YOURSELF A BREAK - The Earth is discharging "an empty hammock," which always reminds us to take time out.  The energy asks us to detach from pressures and responsibilities for a while and recharge.  We have several planets in cardinal signs, which means changes are afoot this month.  Changes require energy, so refueling is advised.

3- PARTING DARKNESS, IGNORANCE, AND HOPELESSNESS - Venus discharges the energetic of "a woman drawing aside two dark curtain that closed the entrance to a sacred pathway."  Long time readers of Oracle Report remember this Sabian symbol well.  The courage, will, and desire to enlarge our perceptions and experiences comes from something that clears the way, especially if that way has been unknown or hidden from us.  We finally have the "eyes to see."  Revelations are timed to certain energetics of degrees of the zodiac, and this one is a particularly potent one.  Mysteries are revealed or solved.  Obstacles are removed.  Energy to continue on is restored.  Faith carries us through.

ON BOTH DAYS, Mercury discharges light on Saturday with "the dawn of a new day reveals everything changed," and on Sunday with "a group of young people sit in spiritual communion around a campfire."  This month we have the "three masters hanging in a special room in an art gallery."  The Masters of Light are displaying and exhibiting their skill with the use of light all month long.  This weekend, they have the light on day and night.

We'll keep the lights on here, too.  This is a lot of information to process at once, so revisit it now and again this weekend, and take it in pieces.  What you get out of this report will change throughout the weekend.  Layers of light are intended.  To some degree they are "time coded" for different understanding at different times.  I hope you have a multi-dimensional experience with this report, as we watch the comings and goings of the times.

UPDATE FOR SUBSCRIBERS: If you do not receive the Welcome email by 10:00 am ET Sunday, October 9, OR if you need to change the email address where the report will be sent, OR if you have any other questions/issues, please email members@oraclereportacademy.com . 

The daily posts will remain public for a few more days until everyone is on board.  Thank you all for your patience with this behemoth transition.  Overall, I am pretty happy with how it has progressed.  Andrew and I discuss the behind the scenes "activities" that have taken place FOR OVER A YEAR to prevent this in the audio recording that is posted on the subscriber site.  The link to go there is in the Welcome email.  It will shed more light on just how wonderful the parliament of wise owls is.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Crescent Moon Phase: persevere through challenges or struggles

Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn 4:41 pm ET/8:41 pm UT

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings; Tara, Goddess Who Guides; Dhumavati, Goddess Who Sorts and Winnows, Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns; Matangi, Goddess of the Wind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Elias, God of the West (transformation)

Skill:  transition and transform

True Alignments:  having a container for emotions (write them out if they are overwhelming), chatter or conversation that yield important information, divine guidance and protection, losses are temporary, rebuilding, adjusting to changes, spiritual connection, going into nature to counter the effects of the matrix

Catalysts for Change:  the idea of superiority (a sham), immobilized/unable to take action, emotionally overwhelmed a, feelings of devastation, feelings of insecurity, irresponsible, illusions, losing sight of the goal, gossip, feeling like one is unable to cope any longer, feelings of powerlessness, control issues, addiction

As a finale to the week when Venus and the Black Moon made a conjunction and Mars and Jupiter made a square, today we have the power punch of the Sun and Pluto making a square.

GET READY TO TRANSITION AND TRANSFORM.

Take a moment to process that statement.  Take a breath and reread it.  Doing so is like stretching before vigorous exercise.  It creates space for transition and transformation.  It will help us integrate the CHANGES IN DIRECTION that the Sun-Pluto square brings.

These are not ordinary or everyday or routine changes.

Anytime the Sun and Pluto are in aspect it is a big deal.  Despite attempts to emasculate Pluto, the force of Pluto remains.  Energetically, Pluto pummels. 

The Sun is the generator of life in our system, and now comes to "activate" Pluto.  In astrology (or the meta-physics of the cycles and codes of life), when planets make a "square" they come to a 90-degree angle with each other.  This means the energetics TURN.  A SHIFT occurs.  It is just like if you are driving along and come to a juncture and take a right turn.  You are now going in a different direction..

So it is today.  Things go in a different direction.

The Sun and Pluto are harmonizing a specific combination of frequencies to produce the effect, with the Sun discharging the energetic of "after a storm, a boat landing stands in need of reconstruction."  Pause for consideration once again. 

Is something being "deconstructed" (falling apart, reducing) in your life now or has something significant been "deconstructed" (broken, torn down, or reduced) over the past two years?

If so, today something new begins to form from that deconstruction.

Pluto is discharging, as it has several times over the last two years, the energetic of "in a hospital, the children's ward is filled with toys."  This energetic heals the saddest stories, the most tragic things.  The symbol says, "This has been hard.  Here is something that is intended to help you feel better." 

A sure-fire way to make children happy is to give them a toy.  Toys are for playing and exploring and imagining and enjoying.

So as the Sun and Pluto are making a square, devastating certain things to the point of them needing reconstruction or needing to start from scratch, ultimately the design of the energy is to uplift.  The dynamic between the Sun and Pluto today is ULTRA POWERFUL in its ability to transform, rebuild, restore, and revitalize situations (especially ones that seem to have crumbled or been lost).

It is probably a good idea today to let the Sun "set" on what is passing or has passed.  The Earth is discharging the energetic of "fairies dancing in the setting Sun."  The nature of this energetic is to OPEN POSSIBILITIES as other things are closed out.

It should be noted, also, that the energetic of 16 Aries, "fairies dancing in the setting Sun" holds vast potential for self-delusion, perhaps the most self-delusion that is possible.  The Sun-Pluto square enables a vivid confrontation with oneself that deconstructs the illusions we have held (most likely because we WANTED to, because we did not want the reality to be otherwise).  Self-delusions can set with the Sun.

And so can the past.  Saturn moves to 13 Sagittarius: "a widow's past is brought to light."  The past comes back around (to haunt, to reveal, to unveil, to release).  We can leave it behind.

We are guided with this, as Venus is discharging "a path through the woods rich in autumn coloring."

We are protected with this, as Jupiter is discharging "a woman feeding chickens and protecting them from the hawks" (war hawks included). 

The day also brings the "perfect" energetic to IMPRINT or MAKE A MARK or MAKE A POINT, with Mercury discharging "a butterfly preserved and made perfect with a dart through it."

Finally, Mars helps us through, bringing us "birds in the house singing happily."  Sing your song.  Say your peace.  Stand united.  Stay strong.

This is the mission for wise owls today as we TRANSITION AND TRANSFORM.  The Second Renaissance is in progress.

UPDATE FOR SUBSCRIBERS:  We are on track for the test email later today.  I will update tomorrow.

Crescent Moon Phase:  persevere through challenges

Moon in Sagittarius

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Elias, God of the West

Skill:  recognize patterns

True Alignments: dissolution of systems based on dominance, aha moments, seeing the patterns/rhythms/cycles, back to basics when unsure, starting over, signs and synchronicities (especially signs from nature), self-sufficiency, individual talents that contribute to the whole, relating on a deeper level, self-approval, the ancient teachings and mysteries

Catalysts for Change:  tangled webs woven from the practice of deceit, repeating the same mistake, unable to make a move or a change, too mired in details to see the bigger picture, boring routines, unrealistic, self-centered, hyper-dominant, underestimating an "opponent" or underestimating yourself, not using common sense, divide and conquer (especially via "fake feminism")

In some way today, we see a pattern. 

The Sun is discharging the energetic of "circular paths."  We recognize the repetition of something.  We often find ourselves saying "Here I go again" or "How did I get back here?" or "I know where this is going" or "Been there, done that."

The "circular paths" energetic is not about being locked in a cycle or pattern of behavior.  It is about recognizing the pattern or cycle, recognizing that you (or others) did the best that you could do, and then learning from the experience. 

The energetic asks us to recognize where we are NOW and how different choices can be made so that the experience or pattern grows into something more.

When the Sun is discharging "circular paths," the Earth is always discharging "an Indian weaving a blanket."  The patterns and experiences of our lives weave together into beautiful tapestries and stories.  Many "individual threads" combine in different ways to form our personal "narrative."

What does the "blanket" or story of your life look like so far?  What patterns do you see?  Are there particular colors or motifs that seem to recur or dominate? 

What colors or motifs could now be added to change how it looks or how it is? 

Does it need some sturdier threads, new colors, or borders/outlines/boundaries/definition?

This is your story -- your narrative, your creation.  Today we amend the story as needed, as information, insight, and inspiration are illuminated.  We are meant to see and understand something today with Mercury (deliverer of messages) discharging "a man gaining secret knowledge from an ancient scroll he is reading," and Mars discharging "a veiled prophet speaks, seized by the power of a god."

Following impulses to read or listen to something is highly advisable today.  Our attention is being drawn to what we need.

Most likely, what we see or learn today serves to BALANCE us, our story, our narrative.  Venus is discharging "a woman filled with her own spirit is the father of her own child."  This energetic symbolizes balance between the inner (sacred) feminine and inner (sacred) masculine. 

The goal of Venus' energy today is to help us learn how to provide for our own needs, not relying on others to meet our needs.  The energetic is holistic; it seeks unity or unification.  This particular frequency of energy is very good for balancing the mind (our perspective or outlook or perception).  In turn, this enables us to recognize patterns, gain information and knowledge, and then change things accordingly (change how we are weaving our story).

In the process, we are adding our story to the grander story, the Story of the Aeon Sophia.

Today we are weavers of the magic carpet on the ride of life.  The adventure continues.

Tomorrow, the Sun will square Pluto.  The magic carpet ride hangs a hard right turn.  We see it in the patterns of time.

Our hearts are with all of those in the path of the hurricane.  Stay strong, wise owls.

UPDATE FOR SUBSCRIBERS:  We are persevering and making progress.  Test email is scheduled for tomorrow.

Crescent Moon Phase: persevere through challenges

Moon in Sagittarius

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings; Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Elias, God of the West

Skill:  choose what is best; take a break/step back and look; be lifted to a higher understanding

True Alignments:  fluidly responding to changes, like attracting like and like minds brought together, alluring, sincerity, loyalty, peaks, reaching out, making preparations, decisive, ability to moderate or temper something, development, taking time to rest, revelations, seeing oneself and others clearly, trusting instincts, greatness, clearing up confusion, the whole package

Catalysts for Change:  lies, manipulation (especially through "mirroring" or telling someone what they want to hear, playing and players, faking interest and sincerity, attempts toward domination, base and debasement, not taking time to rest, mind control, impulsive, guilt, fear of the unknown

We have a complex day on tap, wise owls, so let's break it down.

Today is a day to "seize the day," but it may be necessary to step back at some point or take a break if things become confusing, bogged down with details, too serious, or uninteresting.

Mercury is "discharging the energetic of "a bald-headed man has seized power," but the Sun is discharging "in the heat of the noon, a man takes a siesta."  It seems counterintuitive to push forward with strong action and take a break or step back in the middle of it.  It actually is a very good idea, because one's perspective will change in the process, enabling improvements, solutions, and progress.

It is good to step back and gain perspective when the energetics are intensive, as they are through the remainder of this week.

Gaining wisdom (or wisdom being bestowed) is one of the primary themes for this lunar month, and this is amplified today with the Earth discharging "a serpent coiling near a man and a woman."  Encounters with snakes symbolize an initiation into a higher level of consciousness.

Encounters with snakes can also symbolize break ups, something or someone coming between two people, interference, and the highest levels of deception.  Snakes in the grass come out to play when this energetic comes into play, which is usually on October 5.

Enhancing the potential for break ups and separations is the conjunction of Venus and the Black Moon today (exact conjunction overnight at 1:18 am ET/5:18 am UT) at the degree of "a girl's face breaking into a smile."  Venus conjunct the Black Moon is one of the best transits in astrology.  It always delivers a blessing or gift.  Venus and the Black Moon put focus on romantic relationships.  They break up relationships that are not serving the highest and best, and, interestingly, they then relatively quickly bring in a relationship that does serve the highest and best.  Existing relationships that are serving the highest and best get better under this dynamic.  If a romantic relationship is not present, some other blessing is delivered.  The conjunction occurs at 16 Scorpio, so if you have a planet at this degree or in aspect to this degree, this conjunction is activating in your life.

The energetic of "a girl's face breaking into a smile" means that choices are needed.  A conscious choice of happiness or unhappiness, peace or aggression, calm or chaos is asked of us.  Consider and then choose.

At 5:20 pm ET/9:20 pm UT, Mars will make exact square with Jupiter, but the energetic began to build yesterday.  Mars represents energy levels, will, drive, action, the masculine, initiating or starting, anger and anger turned inward (depression), "battles," selfishness, and new ideas, among many other things.

Jupiter expands things exponentially.  When it aspects with Mars, things easily get carried away or carried too far.  Emotional outbursts and powerful actions occur. 

The Venus-Black Moon conjunction engages impulsivity; the square of Mars and Jupiter takes impulsivity to the next level.

We are advised to 1) be watchful, and 2) meditate or envision.  Be watchful of circumstances and conditions going on around you.  Opportunity abounds, but so does foreshadowing of future events.  Meditate on your goals and then envision their manifestation.  This is the wisdom of the symbols for the degrees of Mars ("ten log lie under an archway leading to darker woods') and Jupiter ("a man watches his ideals taking concrete form before his inner vision.")

We have all that we need to enter into the future, into the unknown.  We have the "fuel" to bring things to life or to the light of day.

Intense energetics are upon us right now, all coming in to "layer" light so that we can see an accurate representation.  The layers build toward Friday's square between the Sun and Pluto.  A dramatic shift is underway.

Today, we remember to stop, take a break, or step back as we are ploughing through this Crescent Moon phase.  Crescent phase challenges us so that we become better.  Let's choose what is better.

UPDATE ON TRANSITION TO SUBSCRIPTION:  The ankle biters continue attempts to disrupt the process, this time by frying hardware on Andrew's end.  Stand by.  We are progressing and persevering through challenges (as wise owls do during Crescent Moon phase).

Crescent Moon Phase: persevere through challenges; aim for ease

Moon in Scorpio (Sagittarius October 5 4:26 am ET/8:26 am UT)

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom):  Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Elias, God of the West

Skill: look for openings

True Alignments:  release, defusing a situation, solutions found in making things simpler, advice and seeking an expert, making amends, minimizing damage, hope restored, mysteries, making preparations, an opportunity that just "blows in"

Catalysts for Change:  dashed hopes, broken but able to be restored, fear of the unknown, repressing feelings, outbursts or tantrums, anger coming to the surface, generalized anger that seeks outlet, bullying, lazy, afraid to make any moves, worry (it will do no good and is not required for a positive outcome)

Wise owls, over the next three days, the Crescent Moon phase, some heavy-duty astrological energetics are in effect.  This means some heavy-duty things will happen in the world and, to some degree, in our individual lives.

Things may seem like they are not making sense today.  But, underneath it all, Spirit (the "three masters" in the Sabian symbol for this solar-lunar month) attempts to help us "master" or more fully understand something.  We see the big picture, which is a very wise place to be during times of tumult and shift.

Let's run down the Sabian symbols for the day to ascertain the nature of what we can expect:

1- BLOWING - Blowing off, blowing smoke, and blowing up comes with the Sun discharging "children blowing soap bubbles."  (We certainly had something blown in our eyes, with the WikiLeaks turn of events.)

Blowing bubbles is a whimsical thing to do, but this energy can be frustrating if practicality is needed or if something needs to be completed. 

This energetic involves things that are fleeting.  It is hard to get a grip or hold on to something because it seems to fade quickly (especially creative thoughts and ideas, so try to note them as soon as possible). 

With focus, it is easy to recreate something that seems to have been lost.

The Earth is discharging "a bomb which has failed to explode is now safely concealed."  (It would seem that something has been concealed from us, for the "safety" of others, with the WikiLeaks turn of events.)

Experience shows us with the energetic of "a bomb which has failed to explode is now safely concealed" that there are things that need to be released, as there is pressure building up.  Things that have been suppressed REALLY want to come out with this energetic, and so they are concealed only for so long.  Secrets ARE NOT safe for any length of time under this frequency of energy.

2 - REPAIRS - Today Venus discharges "telephone linemen at work installing new connections."  This energetic is all about repairs with communications, so no matter what is being "safely concealed" from discussion (through deception, omission, ignorance, or manipulation), it is undergoing restoration, and the issues will come out.  New connections, new understandings, new lines of interest, and new directions are developing.  (New mindsets can be installed!)

3 - A KEYSTONE - Around 5:00 pm ET/9:00 pm UT, Mars will move to 06 Capricorn: "ten logs lie under an archway leading to darker woods."  Tomorrow, Mars will square Jupiter at this degree, so the ten logs may multiply to one hundred or more.  Jupiter is limitless. 

This symbol speaks to having the necessary resources for the future, which has indications of being, at the very least, a magical mystery tour, and at the very most, a time of inky darkness.  The logs can fuel a fire, mark a path, build a structure, and many other things.

Ten is the energetic of destruction.  This symbol could be reinterpreted as "the destruction of hierarchies that lead humanity away from the forces of nature."  How would you reinterpret it?

Archways, or the heights or apexes of things, require a keystone in order to maintain structure and cohesion.  The missing piece to what we need to reach a point of something or maintain our structure and cohesion is shown to us today.  This is a sacred thing.

Tomorrow, Venus and the Black Moon make conjunction.  Mars and Jupiter will make a square.  The Sun and Pluto will be building toward a square.  So the energetics will be quite intense through Wednesday.

Today is still a Black Moon day, with the Moon and Black Moon in Scorpio, with anger, grief, and shadow sides coming to the surface.  This timeframe ends when the Moon enters Sagittarius overnight at 4:26 am ET.  Please see Sunday's report on the home page of oraclereport.com for more information.  Hang in there, wise owls with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron is Taurus or Scorpio!

An archway (gateway) is opening to lead us to a new way of experiencing life.  Let's pick up what we need today and enter.

UPDATE ON TRANSITION TO SUBSCRIPTIONS:  Over the weekend, it became clear that a new email service was needed.  We now have this, and are preparing the test email.  This is scheduled to be tested today.  Stand by, wise owls, but do not worry.  I will continue to post the report here until it is running smoothly.  You won't miss a day.

New Moon Phase: begin; set intentions, wishes, or goals for the month

Moon in Libra/Scorpio 3:43 pm ET/7:43 pm UT

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Bagalamukhi, Goddess Who Transforms Duality; Dhumavati, Goddess Who Sorts

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Elias, God of the West

Skill:  envision and then take charge

True Alignments:  courage, faith in a higher power, playing or having fun, an adventure (which can be anything, really), concentration, willing and able, vivid insights, true love, mission of service, crystallization

Catalysts for Change:  dissatisfaction, unable to relate, feeling superior, making assumptions, control issues, bossy, playing games, scattered, angry, saying something you want to take back, manipulative, deception

The potent energetics of the Black Moon activate later today as the Moon joins the Black Moon to travel through the sign of Scorpio.  Thus, we enter a "Black Moon Day," when light seeks entry into darkness to eliminate what does not serve the highest and best, and also to bring about true love in any form.  This energetic enters at 3:43 pm ET, when the Moon enters Scorpio.

Close comrade of the Black Moon, Mars, assists today as it makes aspect (trine) with the Chiron Point (archetypal powerhouse of wounding, healing, and teaching).  Mars may funnel a good deal of energy into bringing up wounding in order for healing (resolution) to occur.  Mental loops of negativity, especially those related to where we feel we (or another) did not do the right thing, come around.  We can be very hard on ourselves (to the point of self-sabotage).

Shadow sides show out and there is a strong tendency to project one's own feelings onto another.  We project what we cannot accept about ourselves, trying to rid ourselves of feelings of fear or inadequacy, for example, by making someone else fearful or feeling inadequate.  It's the archontic trick, and we are not falling for it.

What we are falling for, or interested in, are the following themes:

1 - INTERRUPT TO INTERPRET - Very active Sabaoth the Sun is discharging the energetic of "a professor peering over his glasses at this students."  We take off our current "lens of perception" and look at things from a different perspective -- a wider one, one that is not so highly enmeshed and concentrated on having things be a certain way (most likely the way we WANT them to be).  We assess the state of things -- the big picture.  Then, we...

2- ENVISION -TAKE CHARGE - EMBARK:  Jupiter, the Earth, Mercury, and Mars team up to help us take charge today.

ENVISON - Jupiter is discharging "a man watches his ideals taking a concrete form before his inner vision."  Usually, we come to the next level of something after taking a hard look at ourselves, which we are naturally already doing with the energetics of the Black Moon Day.  The Black Moon causes a face to face confrontation with one's self.  This characteristic is expanded with expansive Jupiter today.  The beauty of this symbol is that when we are able to accept the negative aspects that something has caused, we can bring meaning to it and find its purpose (because there was one).  This frees us.

TAKE CHARGE - The Earth is discharging "the ruler of a nation."  This energetic engages our will and our willpower.  Peace and order can be brought to inner chaos and disorder.

Mercury is discharging "a lion tamer rushes fearlessly into the circus arena."  This is another energetic to skillfully harness the power of the mind, heart, and will.  Courage and faith go a long way today.

Be aware that control issues are strong with these two energetics of Jupiter and the Earth.

EMBARK - Mars continues to discharge "a group of people entering a large canoe for a journey by water."  This combination advises us to take action in some way.  The image speaks to venturing into new territory (particularly new emotional territory, since the symbol involves travel by water).  This requires that we...

3-  CHOOSE - The Black Moon moves to the 16th degree of Scorpio, "a girl's face breaking into a smile."  The symbol is implicit.  The girls considers, and then chooses.  How? By....

4 - KEEPING IT REAL - Venus is discharging "an official embassy ball."  We choose to remain true to ourselves (our real selves).  We choose kindness and respect.  We choose kindness and respect for all, including ourselves.  The choice to change an outlook, belief, assessment, understanding, feeling, or situation can be made any time. 

Feel like breaking out some change today, wise owls?

P.S. For those with the Sun, Chiron, or Black Moon in Taurus or Scorpio: You are halfway through the tunnel of the Black Moon's underworld.  Life may feel quite dark for you right now.  Remember that you are undergoing a massive rebirth, one that happens for nine months only every nine years.  It will end on February 14, 2017, when you are reborn with a new heart, so to speak, just in time for Valentine's Day.  You are your valentine, did you know? 

If you did not, the Black Moon seeks to teach you.  When the Black Moon transits Scorpio, we tend to "infill" (fill a void) through the material world/the outer world/the other.  We also tend to feel the sting of our "losses."  Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, God of the Underworld, and when his consort, the Black Moon, transits his underworld, stings from losses are not only more painful, but tend to center around pain from relationships, especially romantic relationships.

Go outdoors and convene with the natural world.  Nature will take the grief if we ask.  Ask.  Try it.

Also, writing down your feelings and then balling up the paper and throwing it in the trash (or whatever) is often helpful with this transit. 

Your old self is degenerating while your new self is emerging.  Emergence does not fully happen until February, so in the meantime, rest when you are tired.  The Black Moon transit makes us tired for a reason.  It wants us to rest so that it can do its work, which happens at the deepest levels of consciousness.

You are undergoing the Flight of the Phoenix, and will be a stronger, calmer, more connected version of yourself by the end.

Chapter 5 of my Black Moon book (available for free on the Books tab at oraclereport.com) details the nature of the journey, and may be helpful to read or reread if you have already read it.  Take heart in knowing that you are not alone.  Much love!

New Moon Phase: begin anew; set intentions

Moon in Libra

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings; Tara, Goddess Who Guides

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will):  Elias, God of the West

Skill: reinterpret the past and present; embark

True Alignments: non-judgmental, creatively channeling emotions, taking time to rest, coming through a tough time, making preparations, expanded mindset, teaming up with like minded people, revitalization and restoration of body/mind/soul, holistic

Catalysts for Change:  feelings of rejection, lack of self value, panic, difficulty coping or breathing, foolhardy risks, divide and conquer tactics, elitism, repeating a pattern or habit that does not serve, dishonorable, judgmental, emotional overwhelm

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "three masters hanging in a special room in an art gallery"

Check out this combination of Sabian symbols today:

MARS: "a group of people entering a large canoe for a journey by water"

SUN: "a canoe approaching safety through dangerous waters"

VENUS: "a drowning man is being rescued"

We embark on a journey today, and with the water elements involved, it is likely to be an emotional one.

Added to this mix is the Sabian symbol "circular paths" with the Moon at this degree when it squares Pluto at 9:28 am ET/1:28 pm UT.  So today's "journey" may seem like we are returning to old patterns, habits, and feelings or starting over again.  We tend to look back at "mistakes," but this provides an opportunity to do something a different way in the here and now.

Echoing the theme of changing or reinterpreting our feelings, perceptions, and actions right now is the Earth discharging "a teacher gives new symbolic forms to traditional images."  We can change the "form" of a "mistake" to the "form" of an "experience." 

We recall that during the time of the New Moon yesterday, Mars was discharging the energetic of "a human soul, in its eagerness for new experiences, seeks embodiment."

Experiences yield wisdom.

This month we are meant to "master" something, with the theme of "three masters hanging in a special room in an art gallery."

With what three things would you like to become more masterful?

The "canoe of your mind" may row through the past on a "circular path" today, in an effort to heal a wound.  This can bring up painful thoughts and emotions.  Mercury will oppose Chiron at 11:20 pm ET/3:20 am UT, but is in effect all day. 

Mercury is discharging the energetic of "a royal coat of arms enriched with precious stones," reminding us that the lineage of humanity is a jewel.  By simple virtue of being part of humanity, each of us is brilliant in our own way. 

How does this notion fit in with your reinterpretation of things today?  Were your actions and feelings in the past based on an opposite belief -- that you were not very special, or even worthy?

If so, today is the day to take that "canoe" in a different direction.

One suggestion that may assist is to look at the blessings that came from the so-called mistakes.  Perhaps they were not such wrong decisions after all.

The Moon and Uranus are working today to help take our "canoes" in the right direction (where they need to be) with the Moon opposing Uranus Sunday at 1:43 am ET/5:43 am UT.  This is a driving factor in the energetics this weekend.  Aspects of the Moon and Uranus often bring sudden changes and shifts.  Uranus is bringing BOUNTIFUL CHANGE as it discharges "an open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia."

Safe travels through calm waters today, wise owls.  And if, on your travels this weekend, you capture a snapshot of nature, please send it in.  oraclereportmail@gmail.com

I will be back tomorrow for Sunday's report.

NOTE:  The transition to subscription is underway, and we will be testing the email list this weekend.  I will continue to post the daily reports here for the next week or so, as we get things in order.  If you do not receive the Welcome email this weekend, I will provide the contact details on Monday to remedy it.  Please check your spam box for email from oraclereportmembers@gmail.com.

For those wise owls who want to subscribe, but do not use Paypal, please email oraclereportmembers@gmail for other options.

Thank you!

New Moon Phase 8:12 pm ET/12:12 am UT: begin, set intentions for the new lunar month

Moon in Libra

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Elias, God of the West

Skill: create a special place in your heart for the new to enter

True Alignments:  seeing ahead, expansion of ideas and projects, generous, enthusiasm, taking a leap of faith, proving, evolution beyond circumstances, observing events, self-sustaining, a blessing blowing in, unveiling, performance art, fine art, love

Catalysts for Change:  overwhelmed, relying on the past, not changing with the times, inattentive (especially while listening), uncooperative, power struggles, military might, overly serious, false fronts, too much drama, angry outbursts (and road rage), denial of growth, refusing new opportunities, stubborn

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "three masters hanging in a special room in an art gallery" (light reflected on life; expansion of perceptions; linking mind, body, and spirit, vision and visionary)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending difficulties; transcending the unraveling control paradigm; fantastical experiences)

Welcome to the New Moon in Libra, the midpoint of the solar-lunar year, and a time of great shift. 

This lunar month is like a month-long Full Moon phase, the spiritual time of the year when there is the most amount of light by which to see and navigate.  This month will see dramatic changes in the world and in our lives.  It is always so during the Libra lunar cycle (and the other cycles of the "cardinal" months of Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn). 

The higher octave ruler of Libra is Eris, The Rebel, The Revolutionary, The Reckoner.  Rebirth is the theme with Eris.  She brings darkness to light in order to restore balance, harmony, and alignment with the proper or fair way.  Eris breaks rules and restrictions, especially those that are unjust.  We can expect a great deal of this.

In Greek mythology, Eris was the mother of The Furies, and fury often runs high during Libra lunar cycles.  Full Moon Fever lasts all month long.  But the purpose of Full Moon Fever is to rectify what is out of balance, what is far out of the boundaries of respect, and what is straight up "wrong" or anti-human.  The power of this Goddess of the Underworld is boundless.

The unbounded power that comes with Eris/Libra (better defined as "unbounded empowerment" because Eris is more interested in empowering us to empower ourselves) is the reason that October Surprises occur.  The Illuminati minions are obsessed with the energetics of Eris (and her sidekick the Black Moon) because they are immersed, above all else, in a narrative to torture representations of the feminine.  October is certainly a "fest" for those in the dark.

Today's New Moon ushers a pivotal month where staggering amounts of light enable us process all that will be revealed.  The Sabian symbol for the New Moon, "three masters hanging in a special room in an art gallery," and the accompanying energetics of the other planets at the time of the New Moon, produce a month of "exhibitions and displays of liberty and wisdom."  Here are the themes that take us to that "special" place:

1- BESTOWAL OF WISDOM THAT IS NEW AND SPECIAL - Jupiter at "a man teaching the true inner knowledge of the new world to his students" is conjunct the New Moon.  This will exponentially expand the energetics of the New Moon.  New things are going to come to light.

Mars is in square to the New Moon, enhancing the power of the changes this month.  Mars is discharging "the human soul in its eagerness for new experiences seeks embodiment."  New things are going to be experienced.

2- OCCULT REVELATIONS - A large dose of occultism comes with the Earth discharging "a crystal gazer," and Chiron discharging "a materializing medium giving a séance" at the New Moon.  Clarity and insight into the future come with messages that relieve or close out certain things.

3 - PLAYING; COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION TO PRODUCE IMPACTFUL, TANGIBLE RESULTS - Manifestation of ideas and ideals occurs this month.  Things come to life.  Much of this happens as a result of working with others of like mind.  Venus is discharging "a fellowship supper reunites old comrades."  Mercury is discharging "a girls basketball team."  The Black Moon is discharging "children playing around five mounds of sand."  Saturn is discharging a "flag that turns in to an eagle that crows."  Uranus is discharging "an open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia."

We renew bonds, team up, come together, work toward shared goals, and envision what our heart desires.  What five things (not necessarily material things) does your heart desire?

4- SEEING THROUGH - This month, we are destined to see the bare truth of matters, the truth of intentions and motivations, and the truth about levels of commitment.  Neptune is discharging "an aviator in the clouds," and the North Node (destiny) is discharging "a bride with her veil snatched away."  Things can come from out of the blue to reveal the truths that we need to see.  These are things that have been "clouded" and "shrouded" from us, but known to our inner self.  Now is the time to accept.

With Jupiter and Mars in aspect to this New Moon, the entire month, but especially today, anger and its opposite, depression, are potent.  People may act like they are losing their minds, responding irrationally and impulsively.  This energetic can bring out some inner demons and put them on display for all.

Displays and exhibitions are all around us this month.  They seek to show us the ways of wisdom, liberty, and the future.

As this month starts, it may be a good idea to envision or create in your mind a "happy place" to which we can return to equalize and stabilize ourselves this month.  All signs indicate it will be one of the biggest shows of the solar-lunar year.

We will take our cue from The Masters.

NOTE:  If you missed yesterday's report, please see the special note below.  Also, to clarify, moving the Oracle Report to private subscription enables the free speech to continue.  Unfortunately we have come to this as the old system falls and the new one emerges.  Commercial transactions are harder to regulate (or eliminate) than open speech on the internet.  The internet is scheduled to be "handed over" tomorrow, which means anyone operating publicly is fair game to be shut down if what is being said is contrary to the new world order's crumbling agenda.  Moving to subscription is a protective measure, not a financial one.

During the transition over the next few days, I will post the reports here at oraclereport.com, so that you won't miss a day as we iron things out.

The Oracle Reports will be emailed to subscribers AND you will receive a Login link to access the daily report, the recordings and other materials at the additional platform - Oracle Report Academy.

The top part of the Oracle Report will be available to everyone for free everyday, and I will continue to post material at OracleReport.com, which remains our flagship.  Thank you for your patience as we make the transition.

Happy New Moon, everyone!  Let's make it a masterful one!

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Virgo

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess of Beauty, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill:  blaze your heart fire

True Alignments:  satisfying, the spirit of adventure, spreading warmth, grieving a loss, making space for the new, courage, overcoming a feeling of failure, time for reflection, calmness, ability to adjust, welcoming, the heights of creativity

Catalysts for Change:  fear, restless, difficulty adjusting or changing, isolative/loneliness, abandonment issues, superficial, off course, selfish, bitterness, self sabotage, drama queens, rushing in to something or rushing something, moody

The eve of the New Moon, the one named Black, the Wisdom Goddess Shodashi leaves us with a stroke of beauty.

The touch of the Goddess, the Sacred Feminine, pervades the energetics today.  Venus is discharging "the Moon shining across a lake," giving the day a reflective quality.  Venus is in trine to Neptune, an exalted combination of creativity and beauty.

A sustaining energetic of warmth comes with the Sun discharging "a blazing fireplace in a deserted home."  Unseen guidance and protection is always available, but today it demonstrates itself.  It is evident.  We can proceed on adventures, knowing that we can always return to the inner home -- where the fires of heart and spirit roar. 

Things or conditions that appear to be "dying out" or going downhill or not going the way we would like them to are actually the embers that begin something new or take things in a different direction.

Mercury, the Messenger, leads the way to new adventures, discharging "a caravan of cars headed for promised lands."  We move on.  We align with like-minded people.  We seek out something.  We run down a dream.

Where we "go" and what is "shown" or "evidenced" to us today may be mind-blowing.  The Earth is discharging the energetic of "a woman's hat with streamers blown by the east wind."  This is the degree of the next solar-lunar year, which begins in March 2017.  Today's events may foreshadow what is in store for the upcoming year.  This symbol implies the need to adjust to exterior or outer forces and circumstances.

This lunar month has been about seeing something that was formerly shadowed to us and transcending it, with the energetic of "two heads looking out and beyond the shadows."  Looking beyond darkness is not easy (because truth is revealed), but it is always rewarding.

As beauty unfolds around us today, a tinge of bitter sweetness may occur as the Moon opposes Chiron (exact opposition at 12:43 pm ET/4:43 pm UT).  Something may feel like a three ring circus.  Three's are important today, so be on the lookout for signs and synchronicities that appear three times.  This is very vital information for you.  (If something surprising or disruptive occurs today, do not rush to judge or act or decide.  In fact, consult with someone who is an expert or someone insightful that you trust.)

We started out the month in darkness, looking out and beyond shadows.  We end the month today with the blaze of a home fire.  And so, wise owls, we are not headed into a "Black" New Moon or month.  We are headed to a special place, a place of light, with the New Moon energetic of "three masters hang in a special room in an art gallery."  The Masters of Light are upon us.

The Wisdom Goddess Shodashi bids us adieu today after aligning us with the path of what is in our highest and best interests.  This time around she lead us through shadows in order to align us.  We are well prepared to begin the Libra lunar cycle, the mid-point of the astrological year, and the time when the most light is available (because it is like a month-long Full Moon in the natural cycles).  Let's blow her a kiss.

The mindset we hold on the eve of a New Moon determines, in large measure, the way we will experience the upcoming month. 

The mindset to hold is the one that trusts that a greater story is underway -- a masterpiece, in fact.

SPECIAL NOTE TO WISE OWLS:  If you would like to continue following "the story" with me, please note that as of October 1, in response to the handover of the internet, I will move the Oracle Report to subscription. 

This means that the daily report will only be available privately, emailed directly to you and also available on a separate platform and forum, where I will also post my audios.  The top portion (the True Alignments, etc.) will be posted publicly, free to everyone.

Subscriptions are $5.50 a month, which may be one of the best deals going, considering the rate of an hour of psychotherapy, a cup of coffee, a magazine...

This is the EARLY WISE OWL SPECIAL! The monthly subscription rate will increase to $8 with the New Moon in Scorpio at the end of October.

Those wise owls who are already subscribers, the daily report will automatically come to you starting Saturday, with the link to the Academy where new audios, including the New Moon in Libra overview and some special reports await.

It has been a deep honor and privilege to play my small role in the awakening of humanity for the last seven years.  When I began, I had no idea that my daily "love letters to the world" would become what they have.  I have endeavored to honor my oath to the Wisdom Goddesses to deliver spiritual messages to the best of my ability, but truly it is YOU who have made the difference.  The parliament of wise owls are trailblazers of consciousness.

Now, we take this magic carpet ride to the next level and jump to light speed!

Balsamic Moon Phase: release what you do not want to carry into the next lunar month

Moon in Virgo

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess of Beauty, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill:  choose from the options below

True Alignments:  clarity, looking within, staying strong, mystery solved, brave enough to face the deepest parts of oneself, unity, multi-tasking, versatility, values, looking out for others, the underdog

Catalysts for Change:  overly competitive, difficulty coping, pretending to be something else, fearful, feelings of failure, unavailable, disconnected, not listening to others, strict rules, divide and conquer tactics, jealousy, critical and criticism

As the mystical Balsamic Moon phase continues today, we have the following themes:

1- THE NEED TO PROTECT/LOOK OUT FOR SELF AND OTHERS - The Sun is discharging "a woman feeding chickens and protecting them from hawks."  In addition to looking our for others, we also protect our ideas and projects (especially new ones that are "incubating").  The energetic describes the potential for a threat or something with which we may need to be on guard.  Sometimes, everyday or certain tasks can feel monotonous, burdensome, or draining with this energetic.  However, these things are very "grounding" for us, and perhaps need to be reviewed with reverence or gratitude.

2 - DIVISIONS AND "BEING IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF IT" - The Earth is discharging "a man successfully expressing himself in two realms at once."  It is a good idea to consider shifting focus if the progress of something becomes blocked.  Step away from it for a little while and return to it later; things should begin to flow again.  If some sort of separation or division is occurring, stay versatile in your outlook.  Do you need to split (bifurcate) your energies between two things?  Things that you thought were not at all possible to do may actually be very possible, and this energetic would show it. 

It is good idea to refrain from knee-jerk reactions because that may "scatter" the situation even more.  

What is actually happening with this is the increase in our ability to process more light (information), and thus lead a life deeply steeped in physical experience with the Divine.

3 - LOOK BELOW THE SURFACE - Venus is located at the degree of the Sabian symbol of "deep sea divers."  We look below or beyond the surface or appearance of things to get the picture of what is really going on with something.  This is a day one would want to look very closely at fine print, and to also consider all of the angles that could be possible.  To uncover or discover or ascertain the truth of a matter may require a serious evaluation of how one feels about the situation -- how one truly and deeply feels (because water, the sea in this case, represents emotions).  It may take several evaluations to get to the bottom of how you feel about something.  we want to give things more time before making a move or decision.

4 - LOOKING TO THE SIDE AND COMPARISIONS TO OTHERS - Mercury is discharging "a swimming race."  People can be hyper-competitive with this energetic.  Water is once again represented, indicating a competition with one's own emotions or the emotions of others.  Things that have been under stress and strain have a tendency to show up so that we can change directions with them.  Any insecurities that we harbor express themselves through comparison with others, which, truly, is impossible, as no two people are the same; each is unique.

5- PROCESS OF ELIMINATION AND THE FEELING OF BEING UNDER ASSAULT - Mars is discharging "three stained glass windows in a Gothic church, one damaged by war."  Emotions are already running high with all of the water symbology in effect, but this symbol adds a devastating or debilitating component.  If you find yourself in this situation, look to see what is real, what is temporary, what is expected, and what may need to be released.  Primarily, this involves the way we think and feel about something.  An "elimination" of something may occur.  If so, a restructuring is happening so that something else can be discovered or so that a new option can enter the scene.

12:46 pm ET/4:46 pm UT - The Moon will oppose Neptune, bringing clarity to the unseen or unknown.  The Moon comes to the degree of the current lunar cycle that began on September 1 with the New Moon in Virgo:  "two heads looking out and beyond the shadows."  Clarity and greater comprehension comes.

3:13 pm ET/7:13 pm UT - The Moon will conjunct the North Node (destiny) at the degree of "a bride with her veil snatched away."  Things have a tendency to be taken away and true intentions are revealed.  At the same time, the Moon is squaring Saturn at "a flag that turns into an eagle that crows." We transcend restrictions, shape-shifting things, usually for lofty reasons.  We get "big ideas."  If something is "snatched away," do not be surprised if something else comes to take its place.

I hope that you find something useful within the complexities of today's energy and report.  Find beauty and send a wave a love out to the world!

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign

Moon in Leo

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill:  take instruction from the universe

True Alignments:  explosions of ideas, active listening skills, affirming, grounded, inspired, putting down a false belief, practice, like minds, pioneering or trailblazing, respect, dedication

Catalysts for Change:  temper tantrums, heightened drama, lust, naïve, hopelessness, dogma, anti-humanistic, ungrounded, taking something too far, irresponsible, unintegrated

Today Powerhouse Pluto stations direct or appears to move forward in the sky once again.  Pluto has been retrograde or appearing to move backward in the sky since April 18, 2016.

Pluto moves mountains.  In kind, on the day Pluto stations retrograde or direct, the energetic effects are palpable in intensity.  It can feel very, very heavy and significant (Pluto is the "God of the Underworld," a deep and heavy place). 

Pluto direct can also feel very, very light and significant (because the end of a journey through an underworld occurs).  Journeys with Pluto through the underworld are long, about two years, all total.  Things that began or were in effect two years ago may be coming to an end or resolution.  This can mark the end of a cycle (of belief, thought, action, feeling, understanding, situation, circumstance, etc.).  The energy can be utilized to make a big change.

Pluto stations direct at 11:02 am ET/3:02 pm UT.

In addition, today we have Giant Jupiter making conjunction with the Sun.

When Jupiter and the Sun combine, they "move" or "expand" the Earth (in the form of earthquakes and other geophysical effects), as evidenced by the Electric Universe principle.

Jupiter made exact conjunction with the Sun today at 2:33 am ET/6:33 am UT, but is in effect all day.  The conjunction occurs at 04 Libra: "a group of young people sit in spiritual communion around a campfire."  Information is delivered to us today.  We become enlightened to something. We learn something important.  It expands our perception.

Learning something is echoed with the Sun moving later to discharge the energetic of "a man teaching the true inner knowledge of the new world to his students."

An interesting juxtaposition between the energies of Venus and Mars simmers in the background.  Venus is discharging "a youth holding a lighted candle in a devotional ritual," and Mars is discharging "the pope blessing the faithful."  Ceremony, ritual, reverence, devotion, aspirations, and inner versus outer "riches" accompanies this pairing.

As mentioned, Pluto stationing direct certainly brings a change in direction, and the degree of the Earth today facilitates change, as well.  The Earth is discharging "a triangle with wings."  Things that change today change in order to facilitate harmony.  An alignment (triangulation) between the body, mind, and spirit also occurs.  This strengthens us and also assists with this solar-lunar month's mission of seeing out and beyond the shadows.

And, not least, Mercury discharges "a volcanic eruption" today.  This brings the tendency for emotional outbursts and cathartic release.  Tempers can explode; there are plenty of energetics today that would set the stage for drama.  Ends of cycles, ends of cycles of power, tipping points, rituals, and revelations are all in the narrative today.

This is a day to practice the skill of being like an owl nestled in a big tree, watching and learning.  But we are not observing from afar.  We are observing to the side and from within.  We are active participants, not mere spectators.  We are immersed within the energetics, deftly following along so that we can become wise -- so that we can see what is being shown and taught to us.  This is a state of mind that conjoins us with the mind of Gaia Sophia, enabling collaboration and co-creation of our joint experience of her rebirth.

It's quite a day, and responses to the energy will vary.  We appreciate the gravity of the day, stepping to the side of the energy when needed, looking out and beyond shadows and cycles that are ending. 

What are we learning today?

(Note:  Pluto stationed retrograde on April 18, 2016, at 18 Capricorn: "the Union Jack flies from a new British warship."  Is the end of a end of a very long cycle of colonialism upon us?  Wise owl eyes are wide open today.)

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign, complete

Moon in Cancer

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best, Goddess of Beauty

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill: lighten up

True Alignments:  HUMOR, guidance for direction, actualizing potential, traversing, legacies, "souvenirs" (memories) of the journey of life, observation, a little wild, pioneering into "new territory," shielded and protected, constructive, cohesion, bridging a gap

Catalysts for Change:  feeling "in the weeds" or bogged down with tasks and responsibilities, losing perspective, craving support, foolish/playing or played the fool, desire to discontinue, unrealistic, gullible, not able to look away from something mesmerizing, having trouble getting to the other side of something (like a bridge is closed - try to go around)

It has been a long week on this year's "magic carpet ride," but today the adventure continues not by magic carpet, but by bus.  VENUS is discharging the Sabian symbol energetic of "a sight-seeing bus filled with tourists," advising us to "sit back" and let a Higher Power drive.

In other words, we step back and observe the sights -- the things that are happening around us and in front of us.

Most of the time, the tourists (us) are seeing things for the first time, hence the need for a tour guide in order to fully learn more about the sights.  Tour guides on jaunts such as these are a fountain of wisdom.  Spirit is our guide every day, but today it takes the form of a TOUR guide, which means we are going somewhere.

The "ticket" to getting on board is practicing the skill of "lightening up:" 

1- THE SUN is discharging "the light of the sixth race transmuted to the seventh" (carrying forward, moving from one state of being to another). 

2- THE EARTH is discharging "a comedian entertaining the group" (humor, fun, less serious).

3- JUPITER is discharging " a group of young people sit in spiritual communion around a campfire" (pioneering, sharing, light and warmth, inspiration).

A we are "lightening up" and seeing a lighter side of things, it may seem as if we are going over something again and again or finally crossing away from it.  MARS continues to travel over the energetic of "an old bridge over a beautiful stream in constant use."  We are guided to the other side of something, perhaps never cross it (experience it) ever again.

Keep in mind that the Sun is transiting in conjunction with Jupiter, making exact conjunction Monday, and remaining in effect for a couple of days after.  One of the things Sun-Jupiter aspects can do is cause weight gain.  Usually it falls off naturally after the transit completes.  IF you are experiencing this, do not beat yourself up about it.  I have heard many doing this.  The fact that the conjunction is in Libra hyper-focuses the issue because Libra appreciates beauty like no other sign.  Libra also leans toward perfectionism, as I mentioned yesterday.  Let's not make this more than it is -- energetic.

The adventure of today calls us to lighten up and let a more knowledgeable force guide us.  Ready to take in the sights?

Thursday, September 22, 2016 - Equinox

Disseminating Moon Phase: communicate, share

Moon in Gemini

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill: create balance

True Alignments:  embracing something new, piercing through the veil, bringing something to life or making it real, overcoming conditions, agelessness, second chances, endurance, bursting on the scene

Catalysts for Change:  coming apart or breaking, emotional tumult, overanalyzing, worn out or outworn, refusal without consideration, deception, derision, denial, arrested development, perfectionistic

Today is the equinox, the time when the day and night are equal length.  Energy comes into BALANCE.

Balance is further indicated with the Sun moving out of Virgo and into Libra, the sign that rules balance.  The Sun discharges an energetic that has been active lately, "a butterfly preserved and made perfect with a dart through it."  Libra energy does lean toward perfectionism, but the primary themes of this degree are preservation and penetrating insight.  What do we want to "save" or "freeze in time" today?  What veil is pierced?

Mercury begins its first full day of forward movement after stationing direct yesterday.  During its retrograde, Mercury sought to re-work things to make them better.  This includes our ideas, perceptions, mindset, attitude, outlook, beliefs, comprehension, and projects.  What is the state of any of those things now?  Did reworking and revising occur?  Is the perspective different now?

Mercury is breaking free and breaking barriers as it discharges the energetic of "children crowd around an orangutan cage at a zoo."  Things that have been CONFINED, CORDONED OFF, CAGED, OR CONTAINEDare shown today so that they can be released (set free).  For most, barriers come down; for others, barriers go up.  This energy also brings fascination and wonder, which inspires creativity.

EMBRACING THE NEW OR WHAT IS EMERGING (particularly anything that came up or was re-worked during Mercury's retrograde) is featured with the Earth discharging the first degree of Aries (the first degree of the zodiac) with "a woman has risen out of the ocean and a seal is embracing her."  This always refers to new things and beginnings; in fact, it is the BEST energetic of the 360 degrees to start something new or do something new with something existent.  The "seal" teaches the "woman" (mermaid?) that one can exist on both land and sea (the meeting or linking of physicality and emotionality).

LINKING people, places, and things comes also with Mars discharging "an old bridge over a beautiful stream in constant use." Traversing emotional states can accompany this energetic.  The description of "constant use" of the bridge indicates high levels of activity - mental, physical, or emotional.  A good deal of emotional and cognitive processing occurs with this energetic.  Enhancing the effect is the Moon opposing Mars at 11:52 pm ET/3:52 am UT.  This particular dynamic brings SECOND CHANCES and is in effect all day.

TRANSITIONING AND ADJUSTING continues with Jupiter continuing to discharge "the dawn of a new day reveals everything changed," and Saturn continuing to discharge "a flag that turns into an eagle that crows."

A CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT OR A CROWN OF WISDOM is bestowed courtesy of Venus discharging the last degree of Libra: "three mounds of knowledge on a philosopher's head."  This energetic makes tangible what has been intangible.  It brings thought to concrete manifestation.  How wonderful.

The motto today is "all things in balance."  We strive for this as we are "looking out and beyond the shadows," the theme for this solar-lunar month.  Disseminating Moon Phase and the first day of Mercury direct are the perfect combination of energetics to share and communicate feelings, thoughts, ideas, projects, and insight.  This enables the "information field" or "field of consciousness" to provide feedback with what is on our minds.  During Disseminating Moon phase, we want to take what is useful and leave the rest.  Signs and synchronicities are heightened during Disseminating Moon phase because the phase is about communication.

Butterflies, mermaids, philosophers, and orangutans...oh my!  We have a little bit of a lot of things today.  We endeavor for all things in balance.

Note:  This strange video of a New Jersey turnpike area AM radio station (1630) apparently transmitting on Tuesday morning a repeating message of "Trump will go 26th" and/or "Trump April 26th" surfaced yesterday.  Is it real or a hoax?  The number 1630 equals 10, which is "destruction" in Mayan numerology.  I have checked both presidential candidates' charts for Monday, September 26th, which is also the day of the debate.

Both candidates have Jupiter aspects in effect that day (Clinton: Sun and Jupiter sextile natal Jupiter; Trump: Sun and Jupiter conjunct natal Neptune).  De rigor astrology discusses only the expansiveness and luck that comes with Jupiter.  The well-kept secret is that Jupiter aspects are very often in effect when someone dies.  I don't like secrets.

The Sun and Jupiter will make their once a year (on average) conjunction on September 26th.

Pluto, Ruler of the Underworld, stations direct on September 26th.

Venus opposes the Chiron Point (infliction of wounds, process of healing) on September 26th.

Other significant astrological aspects are in effect on September 26th.

A false flag that prevents the debate or prevents an election because the candidates were victims of a terror attack would be an option for the crumbling system that is trying to create order out of chaos.  This radio transmission in New Jersey, if real, may have been the required "revelation" prior to the attack (ritual).  I am curious if this same radio station can be heard at NYU, where the debate will be held.  This is all speculation, but we need to be prepared for anything.  The whole thing may be a hoax or it may be Illuminati hijinks.  I have highlighted September 25/26 for a few months now.  Still, let's hold peace and goodwill.

Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Gemini

Aspect of Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess of Beauty, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best; Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill:  stand aside of any challenges that Mercury direct presents; see what is being revealed; ask for spiritual assistance if needed

True Alignments:  spreading wings, closure, true to self and path, practical application, spiritual awareness, accepting changes, manifesting a dream, endurance, moving past conditioning, making improvements, providing assistance, standing up for self

Catalysts for Change:  unclear about self or what to do about something, unrealistic, missed opportunities, giving in to a habit or temptation that has proven destructive to self and others, feeling alone or abandoned, screening or shrouding truth, immobilized

Practicality and efficiency are delivered today with a team effort by the Sun and Mercury to slingshot Mercury forward once again.

Mercury stations direct or appears to move forward in the sky after appearing to move backward since August 30 when it stationed retrograde.  Exact station occurs overnight at 1:32 am ET/5:32 am UT.

Today, the Sun discharges the last degree of Virgo (30 Virgo), which is the same degree where Mercury went retrograde on August 30.  The Sabian symbol for 30 Virgo is "having an urgent task to complete, a man does not look to any distractions."  This means that the energy for FOCUS, PRECISION, ACCURACY, APPLICATION OF IDEAS, AND FORWARD MOVEMENT has double the power today.

The day a planet stations retrograde or direct is usually intense and can cause a bit of chaos.  Mercury excels at proving this to be true, with disruptions in interpersonal and other communications, telecommunications, electronics, and travel.  When we know that the challenges are happening purely as a result of energetics, we can move to the side of the challenge, and patiently allow the effect unfold.  When Mercury does its slingshot, we save ourselves a lot of frustration, consternation, and stress when we stand outside of the swirl of whatever seems to be going awry.  Doing this frees space for resolution to occur.

Mercury stations direct at 15 Libra: "a fine lace ornamental handkerchief."  Things get ironed out today, details come together, and beauty is created.

MANIFESTATION OF IDEALS and SETTING THINGS IN STONE comes with the Earth discharging "a majestic rock formation resembling a face is idealized by a boy who takes it as his idea of greatness, and, as he grows up, begins to look like it."  This energetic strongly relates to FREEING something.  Sculptors often say that they are "freeing" what lies within the stone.  In other words, they are just chipping away at what prevents us from seeing the beauty that lies beneath.

The power to TRANSITION something (free it from its former state) comes with Saturn discharging "a flag that turns into an eagle that crows."  This echoes the theme of MANIFESTATION OF IDEALS AND MAKING STRIDES. Mars was discharging this degree between August 26-28, so the last few days of August return for review and evolution of themes.  The Moon will oppose Saturn at 8:13 pm ET/12:13 am UT, bringing the opportunity to rectify.

SPIRITUAL ASSISTANCE TO SEE THE BENEFIT OF CHANGES comes with Venus discharging one of the most emotionally-challenging energetics, 28 Libra: "a man in deep gloom, unnoticed, angels come to his help."  The spiritual loftiness of Jupiter is added as it discharges the energetic of 03 Libra: "the dawn of a new day reveals everything changed."  Can we accept?

And, as if today if today were not glorious enough, Mighty Mars conjuncts the Galactic Center at the degree of 27 Sagittarius and the energy of "the sculptor's vision is taking form."  Many ancient cultures considered the Galactic Center our spiritual home in the galaxy or the place of God.  Mars empowers from "On High" today.

What do you envision?  What is taking form?  What is ready to be applied?  What is being freed in your life?  What are you transitioning toward?  With what do you need spiritual assistance?  What is manifesting right now?

It's quite a day, wise owls.  Let's embrace it wholeheartedly.

Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Taurus/Gemini Wednesday 1:54 am ET/5:54 am UT

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess of Beauty, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill: take a higher perspective while maintaining a grounded center (be like a tree)

True Alignments: thinking twice and choosing wisely, tokens of love, objectivity, breaking big things into little steps, mysteries, inspiration, centered, taking care, sharing responsibilities, open to alternatives, acceptance of what was previously denied, breaking down a false belief

Catalysts for Change:  loss of common sense, rigid, strict adherence to something and not allowing for change, blinded by the light, impatient, getting carried away (manic), disconnected from reality, denial, self-delusion, overthinking or overanalyzing

Sometimes a certain theme simultaneously coalesces within the energetics of a year, a month, and a day.  Today is one of those days, with the theme of transcendence repeating.

In addition to the energetics of the year with "the magic carpet ride" and the month with "two heads looking out and beyond the shadows," today Venus discharges "an airplane sails high in the clear sky."  Today we are transcending difficulties, rising above, and carrying on toward something new.

To assist, these themes are also in effect:

1- GAINING KNOWLEDGE AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION - The Sun is discharging "a man gaining secret knowledge from an ancient scroll he is reading."  Things that we need to know find their way to us.  We want to follow impulses and intuition that guide us to read something, possibly something that we first read a long time ago.  We learn what we need to learn in order to lift us up and over, toward a new perception.  Things that occur today may link back in some way to August 28 when Mercury and Venus were conjunct at this degree.

2 - BREAKING OUT AND BREAKING THROUGH - The Earth is discharging the energetic of "light breaking into many colors as it passes through a prism."  We break things into their parts or compartmentalize in order to see a bigger picture.  This frequency of energy enables us to cover or see a wide spectrum of factors that are involved with something.  It is a good idea not to get set or locked into a specific way today, as this energy busts open the Field of Possibilities.

3 - COMPOSURE - Mars continues to travel to the Galactic Center, continuing to discharge the energetic of "a flag bearer in battle."  "Grounding" is important when we are flying high and transcending difficulties and transcending the past.  Grounding is maintaining your center and your root with Mother Earth.  Mundane, yet reverent, tasks such as gardening and cleaning are excellent ways to ground the psyche.  This energetic enables us to maintain dedication to our convictions, projects, and attendance to wisdom under changing circumstances.  We withstand, holding our line with the goodness of life.

 Last but not least, we have the Moon completing transit of Taurus today, opposing the transit of the Black Moon in Scorpio.  As discussed yesterday, this tends to entice shadow sides to come out.  Issues related to insecurities, securities, grief, and loss come with this dynamic.  Those with the Sun, Chiron, or Black Moon in Taurus or Scorpio experience this the most as the Black Moon transits Scorpio through Valentine's Day 2017. 

If you feel like the emotions are too much to bear, try this:  go outside and find the Sun (if it is visible in your sky).  With your eyes closed, request that the Sun (the divine being Sabaoth to the ancient Gnostics) take the burden.  Sit for as long as is comfortable for you.  See if this helps ease the rebirthing pains you are having.

Today we sail high on a magical ride to clarity.  All aboard!

Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Taurus

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill:  be attentive to mindset

True Alignments:  care, abundance, solutions, the Sacred Masculine, cooperation, reconnecting with the physical body, grounded, initiative, alternatives and alternating, the present moment, fortifying the heart, courage, standing for something

Catalysts for Change:  the desire to buy or have things in an effort to fill a void (the void can only be filled internally not externally), trying to gain sympathy, desired outcome is unclear, uncooperative, empty, possessive, ungrounded, harsh words, deliberately inflicting pain, "raining on someone's parade," falling for anything

We begin the one week in (approximately) two years when Mars makes conjunction with the Galactic Center.  Mars, the Activator, aligns with the Galactic Center's energeticof 27 Sagittarius: "a sculptor's vision is taking form."

What is taking form for you?  What do you see?  What is your will?

Power is forming around our perceptions and beliefs, solidifying them.  It is a good idea to understand our perceptions and beliefs, and decide if they are the ones we want.  If not, the power to change them is abundant today.  Here's why:

1- TAKING CHARGE AND TAKING CONTROL - The Sun discharges "a bald-headed man who has seized power" today, urging us to move forward, organize, structure, and solve.  Our higher self funnels "down" what we need to "see beyond the shadows" and toward the Source of Love and Light (represented by the Galactic Center).  Whatever we need to "seize the day" is at our fingertips.  Conscious choice is all that is required, as the Sabian symbol indicates that we "step up."

Initiatives are favored for success as Jupiter discharges the energetic of "the dawn of a new day reveals everything changed."

2- WAR AND PEACE - JEALOUSY AND LOVE - These themes are strong today with the Moon in Taurus opposing the Black Moon.  The status of some relationships are already undergoing intense change, as the effects of yesterday's Venus-Uranus opposition are still in effect.  The Black Moon is attempting to repair things, especially our connections with others and the connections in our brains (the neural network) so that we can see and understand things better.  The Black Moon is discharging the energetic of "telephone linemen at work installing new connections."  It wants to help us operate in a new way.

Be aware that envy and desires to be something (someone) other than oneself are quite high today.  If so, an adjustment needs to happen.  These thoughts need to change or mutate into ones that feed the self, not drain it.  Venus assists with the energetic of "an eagle and a large white dove turning into each other."  We are mutable.

Since today is a "Black Moon Day," in our jargon, the tendency to project one's own feelings and issues onto others crops up.  Mars adds some fuel to this as it discharges "a flag bearer in battle."  The Earth takes things to fruition or their fullest expression as it discharges "a fertile garden under the Full Moon."  Issues related to grief, loss, insecurity, and not feeling safe can be quite vast.  "Old battles" seek peace, and the Black Moon is trying to repair the damage. 

Wise owls with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Taurus or Scorpio feel this the most today.  Your nine-month journey of rebirth is almost half-way complete.  You will be better and stronger on the other side.  The transit of rebirth ends on February 14, 2017.  Surrender gracefully to what the Black Moon is purging from you, and rest as much as possible.  Understand that the process will end; it is not permanent.  Remember that you will rise like a phoenix.

The Moon will make exact opposition with the Black Moon at 10:56 pm ET/2:56 am UT.

3- THREADS - Mercury goes back to discharge the energetic of "a fine lace ornamental handkerchief," and Uranus is discharging "an open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia."  The "threads" or fabric or interrelationships between things is shown.  These energetics bring keen observation and attention to detail, as well as producing tangible reward for effort. 

This week, the visions we are sculpting in our minds are taking form.  What is yours?

Friday, September 16, 2016

Full Moon Phase (3:45 pm ET/7:45 pm UT): clarity, revelation

Moon in Pisces (Aries: Saturday 12:34 am ET/4:34 am UT)

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best, Goddess of Beauty; Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill:  recognize what is limiting/restrictive

True Alignments:  nourishment, the nature of happiness, paying tribute, adjustment, important information and messages, true representation of value and values, the cycle of life, patience, sincere, ideals

Catalysts for Change: the need for recognition, feelings of failure, not taking the necessary time, antithetical, battles for control, insincere, self-denigration, looking down on others, denial, blow ups

Rarely is a day so energetically poised for a specific purpose.  Today is almost perfectly aligned to enable us to release what holds us back.

Today's Full Moon is an eclipse.  In general, eclipses take things away.  They are helpful in that they remove barriers; they are hurtful in that the removal of barriers can be painful.  Feelings of loss mix with feelings of relief, which can overtax our ability to emotionally process. 

In many ways, eclipses "seize and freeze" events, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in time, capturing them and slowly unfolding them along a different line for six months (the energetic effect of eclipses lasts for six months).

With this knowledge, we can use the energetics of today's Full Moon and eclipse the way we would want it.  The Universe knows what we need to put down or leave behind, and we do, too, if we are honest with ourselves.

Keep in mind that this would be about the release of anything that is limiting -- beliefs and thoughts about self and others, feelings, situations, events, circumstances, choices, mindsets/outlooks/attitudes, perceptions, etc.

The almost perfectly aligned energetics that enable us to release what holds us back include:

1 - SUN at "a flag at half-mast in front of a public building" - This familiar energy speaks to recognizing accomplishments and what it took to survive or get where one is, grief and loss, mourning, and completion.

2 - EARTH AND FULL MOON at "the purging of the priesthood" - Cleansing, releasing, and re-examining to get to the purest forms comes with this frequency of energy.  The eclipse is occurring at this degree, so "the priesthoods" will be experiencing a "purge" by the forces of light and will undergo transformation over the next six months.

3 - MERCURY at "a volcanic eruption" - Mercury retrogrades back to this degree, reinforcing the theme of catharsis and release.  This energetic is fiery, as we know, and is hard to contain.  Be aware that people may be "eruptive" with this energetic in combination with a Full Moon/eclipse.  Again, the "fall out" from today will unfold over the next six months, so we want to be wise with our words and actions.

4 - VENUS at "a child giving birds a drink at a fountain" - Refreshment and relief come with this symbol's energy.  Hopes, wishes, and dreams are restored.  Simplicity revitalizes us.

5 - MARS at "a bluebird standing at the door of the house" - An omen of good fortune runs within the eclipse's energetics.  Doors open, opportunities arise, and paths are revealed.  What is standing right there in front of you?

6 - JUPITER at "the light of the sixth race transmuted to the seventh" - Carrying on, continuation, and completion are implied.  Wisdom is passed along to us.  We can take the best of situations and leave the rest.  What are you willing to do?  Does something call to you today?

One thing that is often overlooked by the fascination with Full Moons is the understanding that the Full Moon bring what was happening back at the New Moon to highest visibility and expression.  We fail to look back to what started when the Moon was dark, enchanted as we are by the Moon being at full light. 

This Full Moon brings the energetic of "two heads looking out and beyond the shadows."  All month long, we were intended to go beyond what limits us.  All month long, we were intended to see beyond the shadows.

The process makes us stronger.  We are stronger than the self we brought to the New Moon on September 1.

Now, forces take effect to make us even stronger, even freer, even wiser.

Happy Full Moon, wise owls.

(Note: Tomorrow, Saturday, September 17 at 10 pm ET, Andrew and I will join the Zany Mystic for another Fireside Chat.  Link to the show will be posted tomorrow.)

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust

Moon in Pisces

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best; Kali, Goddess of Beginnings and Endings

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will): Kathe, God of the South

Skill:  lighten up; find a simpler way; get to the pure heart of the situation; engage the imagination.

True Alignments:  expertise, recognizing the capabilities of others, repairing damage, rendering assistance, natural, closeness, reorienting, seeing the irony, dispelling negativity, creatively expressing emotions, gathering, release, connection with inner child, compromising, devotion

Catalysts for Change:  nosey, sensitivity to noise, naïve, believing the grass is always greener on the other side, not compromising with others, adjustment issues, sabotage and self-sabotage, lack of faith, unnatural, disoriented, divide and conquer, condemned, feelings of failure, in over one's head

Today, on the eve of the Full Moon, which is an eclipse, a spiritual influx is occurring.

This comes as the Moon in Pisces makes conjunction (comes to the same place in the sky) with Neptune.  Neptune rules Pisces, and as it takes its years-long journey through its home sign, it delivers the highest octaves of spirituality and creativity.

It also delivers madness -- an unsound psyche.  Full Moons deliver their own special kind of "madness" that is called "Full Moon Fever."  Since the Full Moon occurs in watery Pisces (conjunct Chiron, the archetypal energy of wounding, healing, and teaching), the "fever" is EMOTIONAL in nature.

This fever is more accurately described as a spiritual tsunami that clears away darkness that is lingering.  There is plenty of information on this Full Moon's eclipse available on the net, but what is most interesting to me, of course, is the Sabian symbol for the degree of the Full Moon, 25 Pisces: "the purging of the priesthood."

The "purging of the priesthood" energetic is about clearing out and clearing away anything that no longer belongs.  This includes thoughts, beliefs, feelings, insecurities, etc. that no longer serve.  These things hold us back from direct and real experience.

This lunar month's theme is all about moving out of dark "spaces" with the Sabian symbol energetic at the time of the New Moon (September 1, 2016) and unfolding all month, "two heads looking out and beyond the shadows."

Pisces rules religious fervor and zealotry, and these themes may filter into the events of the Full Moon phase.

But today, on the last day of the Gibbous phase of the month that is like a month-long Gibbous phase, the missive is to trust.  Trust is the keyword for Gibbous phase.

To assist us, the Sun is discharging the energetic of "Mary and her white lamb."  This is related to our innocent or inner self.  Both symbols are gentle.  "Mary and her white lamb" are the two souls "looking out and beyond the shadows" with us today.

When the energetic of "Mary and her white lamb" is in effect, we are guided toward what is simpler, gentler, and more imaginative.  Keeping it simple is the best way to go.

The best place to "go" is beyond where we "were" at the time of the New Moon on September 1.  Our "headspace" (our mindset, outlook, attitude, overall state) is expanding to a new place of perception, and will take a great leap forward with the Full Moon phase.  It is important to trust that this process is happening to make things better.  Turning worries, stresses, and burdens of the mind, body, and soul over to a higher power is always advisable, but even more so when the energetics become intense and things start happening.

Things happening suddenly comes with Venus and Uranus moving into exact opposition (180 degrees apart).  Exact opposition occurs Sunday, September 18, 2016, producing many changes in relationships and with money in the process.

Issues with interpersonal communications, telecommunications, electronics, and travel are more likely today, as the Black Moon moves to 14 Scorpio: "telephone linemen at work installing new connections."  When Mercury is retrograde, as it now, this energetic is greatly amplified.  Things break down or break up so that a full overhaul can occur.  New ways are revealed.

The spiritual influx we are blessed with today is a light touch.  It is inspiration -- taking in Spirit.  To connect with it, lighten up.  Find a simpler way.  Get to the pure heart of a situation.  Engage the imagination.
