Today September 23rd the Sun shifts from earthy Virgo into the air sign of diplomatic Libra.

Happy Birthday to all the Libras of the zodiac!

Libra is the sign of partnership but more importantly, equality and peace.

On this same day it is also the initiation of a turning point.  The Autumn Equinox.

This day is significant as Mother Nature starts a new season and we reach the halfway point of the astrological year.

Spiritually speaking, this represents a shift occurring for all on a much deeper level.  A shift to a higher level of awareness and consciousness.

For where we may have been asleep we are now wide awake.

Things begin to make sense in a very different way, higher truths are revealed and the winds of change are upon us. .

Libra is the sign that rules the 7th house in astrology, the house of marriage, partnership.  As such, there could be a lot that comes up centered around our important connections over these next four weeks.

Relationships with those closest to us take center stage.

Relationship to self becomes of utmost importance.

We redefine the way we work in our relationships, and if and how things are not working?  Well, sadly it may be time to let them go.

Discerning what and who to hang on to and why is equally important.  Equal = Libra.

Figuring out which direction to move towards should be led by soul not ego.  This will get louder and louder as the months go on to the wrap-up of 2019.

When it comes to the important situations in your life, are you hanging on out of love or out of fear?

When you hang on out of fear, when you feel unsettled, this is your ego.

When you feel as if you are being led towards a certain path but you are not sure where, why or how?  That is your soul.  That can feel like you are floundering because there is no guarantee.  This is usually the right path, as counter-intuitive as that may sound.

Our wounds and our triggers are being shown to us through our relationships with others.

We are presented with the opportunity to keep doing things the same way or to recognize where we may need some healing and begin that ever-so-worth-it journey of self-love.

By the end of Libra season and the beginning of Scorpio season, you should have some deeper insight.  Go easy on yourself as everyone is doing the best that they can from their level of awareness.

This can be a time of beautiful revelations and change.

Be sure to stay present with your feelings, they are here to teach you not to hurt you.

Most of us have no problem giving.

If you are like me, it is second-nature that when you are out and about and see something that reminds you of someone you care for, you buy it.  This touches peoples hearts more than we may ever recognize.

When someone asks you to go out of your way to do a favor, your instinct is to say ‘yes’ even if you have to rearrange a few things because you like to help.

When I have not spoken to someone in awhile and they enter my thoughts, I will shoot a quick text or email “I was just thinking of you, miss you”.  Sometimes that is all it takes to turn someone’s day around.  To know someone is thinking about them.  

I have come to the realization that while i have no problem giving, I have always had a difficult time receiving which I am still working on.  Believe it or not my clients are the ones that have helped me come to this place of learning to accept kind words and gestures.

“When is the last time someone bought you something just because”?

It was an innocent question asked by a wonderful client I see every few months.  She came to see me for a session and brought me back something from her recent vacation.  She also brought me a cup of coffee.

I was caught off-guard and she knew it.  I admit it, I got teary-eyed- I cry for everything ok? 😉  I cry when I’m happy, sad, frustrated, overjoyed, etc-  I’m a crier.

The box was wrapped beautifully and she instructed me ‘open it later’.  Yes m’am!

What she bought me was a gorgeous wind chime made of Green Jade.  Now, for those of you that know me, you know that I have a love of genuine stones.  I may be a little obsessed, actually.  I have them everywhere, and have many pieces of jewelry.

It touched my heart fifteen- ways to Sunday or however the saying goes!  I called her and must have thanked her ten times.  It was so beautiful both by looks and sentiment.

On my drive home I thought about it….why do I always feel so surprised when someone does something thoughtful for me?  Why do I automatically feel like I am the only one that can give yet receiving feels so foreign?  That’s a little selfish, isn’t it?

That answer is like an onion and as I peel it back layer by layer, it sometimes stings, there are tears involved and that’s ok.  Healing is quite complex but the most important thing is that I am working through it.

I made a vow to myself to be very conscious of how i react when somebody does something unexpectedly kind towards me, or gives me something ‘just because’.

As always, the universe wanted to make sure I got the lesson.

Later that night, my friend Terry came over for dinner.  I had not seen her in awhile.  She walked in the door with these beauties.

I give her a huge hug, she hands these to me and says ‘here’.

Me: “what are these for”?

Terry: “because you’re my friend and I love you”.

I tear up as usual, but I didn’t carry on about why she shouldn’t have done that which was my instinct, I shut my mouth and instead,  I marveled at the beautiful colors and put them in a vase as we began to catch up.

Giving is wonderful, but is necessary that we allow ourselves to receive as well.

Do you allow yourself to receive?

Peace & Love,

9/18 Saturn will station direct after having been retrograde since 4/29.

So, why is this important?

Saturn is a transpersonal planet.  Transpersonal meaning that he deals with areas of consciousness beyond the limits of personal identity.

Saturn does not care how or why, he does not discriminate and no one is ever free of his influence.  Saturn just wants you to do the right thing at all costs.

This is the planet that is considered the keeper of time, the ‘ Lord of Karma’.

Sound ominous?  It isn’t, although in western astrology Saturn is considered a malefic planet, meaning an unfavorable influence.

However, it is only unfavorable when we do not change our ways or heed the lessons that Saturn bestows upon us time and time again. 

There’s that word again: time. 

When acknowledged, when we ‘grow through what we go through’, Saturn can bring us our greatest blessings.

On the more favorable side of this three-ringed-planet, we look at how Saturn is all about commitment, dedication and hard work.

Yes he can be responsible for delays, restrictions and sometimes even blockages but this is all for us to remember that nothing worth having is supposed to be that easy.

This is Saturns reminder.

Over the last five months while Saturn was retrograde, I am certain that parts of your story have been under review, under scrutiny of yourself and by yourself.

Why?  Because you, your soul, chose these lessons to make you stronger.

Remember: we all have Saturn in our charts and it is different for everybody.

Watch/listen below.  I go through more on Saturns function both collectively and personally.

I talk about what happens when Saturn moves through certain parts of your chart and what you may expect to experience.

I highly recommend that if you have not ever looked to your birth chart, the mapping of your soul, that you do so!  Especially look to your Saturn.

9/13 into 9/14 as of 12:35 AM EST , we experience an extremely sensitive and deep Full Moon in the sign of watery Pisces.

Full Moons are times of great release, purging and cleansing.

  A Full Moon happens when the Sun is opposite the Moon.

This highlights the polarities (opposing forces) in our lives.

These polarities are of an emotional, physical and spiritual nature.  It can be one area or all three, and each Full Moon will feel different based on the sign and planetary aspects surrounding the Moon.

Awareness and emotion reach their peak and are heightened around Full Moons.  This is why we feel more edgy and anxious around these times, sometimes not even being able to sleep.

The Moon rules our subconscious, the raw emotions that lurk underneath the surface.

Everything comes to a head under this energy.  There is a tug of war between head and heart.

The Sun is in Virgo (reality) while the Moon is in the opposite sign of Pisces (spirituality).

Virgo as a practical earth sign strives to keep both feet on the ground, to tend to our outer world.

Pisces as a mystical water sign loves to dream, to tend to the inner world, the psychic world.

Together, these two can make some beautiful poetry if we allow ourselves to go deep which is what this Full Moon energy is requiring us to do.

Some will be more comfortable with this energy than others and that’s totally ok and expected.

At the end of the day, you have to do what feels right for you and you alone.

Stop trying to justify every emotion that comes up, everything you are faced with.

Instead, embrace it all.

Virgo wants to bury the emotion and the sentiments, to explain them away.

Pisces wants to feel the emotions, uncover them and more importantly, to transform.

This is why these signs are opposites, they need each others energy.  What one lacks, the other one possesses.

Reexamine, Reveal, Receive, Release.

This is the Pisces Full Moon.

Welcome September!

August had some beautiful astrology.

September starts off the same, but busier with lots of activity in the sky and naturally, some bumps along the way.

As above, so below.

There is a lot we strive to get done and the planets are truly supporting us with an abundance of earth-energy, a beautiful time for planning.

I cannot stress enough how amazing and auspicious this is for getting projects going, collaborations, financial endeavors, cleaning up, etc.

Watch below, a read for each sign 8/30-9/13
