You

Who are the source of all power,

Whose rays illuminate the world,

Illuminate also my heart

So that it too can do Your work.

We're between Eclipses!

Eclipses signify times of fated/destined changes or events in our lives and the world around us! They are like supercharged New/Full Moons, said to be 10 times more powerful than a normal lunation. They are times when our most steady lights, the Sun and Moon, go dark. Eclipses were seen as negative omens by ancient people and astrologers. It is advised to avoid charging your crystals/tools under the light of the Eclispes. It is also advised to avoid intention setting and manifestation rituals during Eclispes. We do not want to charge sacred items or do intention setting/manifestations because Eclispes open portals of energy, and we NEVER know what's coming through portals. We want to be vigilant of whatever comes in, however. Eclispes are times to pray, fast, and lie low while the energy is whirling around us. Eclispes are like energetic Cat 5 hurricanes; it's not advised to venture out into these storms to explore. Whatever we pull in if we are manifesting/charging will have the energy of Eclispes imprinted. Eclispes are chaotic times; why invite more chaos than necessary?!

Powerful beginnings and endings often take place around Eclipses. Trust that whatever is coming in or leaving our lives is fated. Destiny is in the driver's seat in our lives, and Eclipses are known to course-correct us if we've gotten on the wrong path or are stuck. It may not feel like it, but whatever is happening IS for our Highest Good. We may need some time and space from the events to see the Higher Purpose in the Eclipse events. 

We are likely to hear more about pregnancies, births, engagements, wedding announcements, as well as deaths, relationships ending, or job losses during this time. This first Eclipse in Leo is a Solar Eclipse (always a New Moon); it's a South Node Eclipse, so significant, powerful endings, wrapped in new beginnings, are coming in. Something is being taken away and replaced with something else. This is a spiritual course correction, because Jupiter is also in Leo. 

 The Nodes of Fate are in Leo-Aquarius now! This is a massive vibe shift! We can expect fated/destined events to unfold. The South Node will enter Leo, co-present with Jupiter in Leo. The North Node will enter Aquarius, co-present with Pluto in Aquarius! This will be an intensely powerful 18-month transit. Having the Nodes of Fate co-present with these powerful planets means massive changes in our lives and the world around us!

The South Node in Leo, co-present with Jupiter in Leo, has a contradictory energy. Leo is the King/Queen, the star of the show. The South Node drains, empties, and removes. Jupiter is bringing spiritual course corrections to the Leos, highlighting and amplifying true King/Queen power and energy. The "false idols" are falling away. I see this transit as the return of the King. As in true kingly energy, leaders are here to serve in the position of leadership. I see this as King Author vibes. Maybe we need to go back to what works. 

The North Node is in Aquarius, co-present with Pluto in Aquarius. We will see an acceleration of breaking down old orders to prepare us for the future and to welcome in the new era/world. The North Node calls us uncomfortably toward our future desires and destiny. We are being asked to lean in. 

This is a significant vibe shift in our collective lessons and where our attention is focusing. Look to the Leo-Aquarius part of your charts to see where the Eclispes next month are taking place! The Nodes are in Fixed signs, so deep, powerful transformations, endings, and beginnings are taking shape. The last time that the Nodes were in these signs was in 12/2007- 8/2009, when the North and South Nodes were in the same signs as now. We had the Nodal reversal from 5/2017-11/2018, when the North Node was in Leo and the South Node in Aquarius. Look back to this time for themes of what's in store for us! It's never exactly the same, but similar themes are active.

It's Eclipse season! Buckle up, it's a massive one! Mercury is in Leo, on the Eclipse axis, and is extremely active all week long. Mars enters Cancer early Tuesday morning; Mars, like Venus, is beginning to slow down, preparing for the Mars Rx early next year! Thankfully, Venus is in her home sign for a prolonged stay, due to her incoming retrograde in October, but she's bringing in some sweetness and justice. 

The Eclipse is a South Node Eclipse, co-present with Jupiter, so this is a massive course correction; this is a spiritual realignment. The South Node can remind us of who we used to be, for better and worse. Maybe we need to go back and practice some discipline or self-worth that we had in the past to benefit us in the present and future! I see this time as a return of the King/Queen; as in King Arthur vibes- not King Charles! Let it be a time of return to your sovereign self. Honor yourself as royalty and treat your body as such. 

We can expect massive news stories coming to light this week! Loads of information are flying around, as Mercury reactivates (ish) the Basket aspect we had in mid-July. 

Hungry Ghost Month!

If you're out partying, please be careful and thoughtful of your state. Avoid excess alcohol and drugs. Protect your energy. The energy/psychic vampires are out in droves! In Chinese Astrology, we are in the Hungry Ghost month. It started yesterday and lasts until 9/10. This is a time when the gates of the underworld open and spirits are allowed to roam freely. Yikes! It is advised to avoid going out late at night; if possible, avoid alcohol/drugs; wear protective amulets; avoid covering your head; avoid swimming at sunset. In China, plates of food are set out at crossroads; incense is burned so that the souls may "eat" and be satisfied. It is a time for prayer, protection, and regular energy clearing and cleansing.

Today:

 

We will continue to see the Eclipse energy playing out over the next month, with Eclipse events happening all around us! Remain seated with your seatbelt fastened, lol. Pay close attention to what takes place over the next three days; it is telling of what's to come in our lives. 

We are building up to the final Pisces Lunar Eclipse for this Eclipse cycle next Thursday! This signifies a massive closeout in the Pisces-Virgo axis of our charts! Strive to remain cool, calm, and collected. Good spiritual hygiene is extremely important!

This morning and today's energy is a mixed bag, icky, with some silver linings! 

This icky energy started late last night, when Mars is inconjunct Pluto. This is a discomfort, nightmare aspect. Early this morning, we have some serious psychic-attack energy, so stay prayed up and protected! 

Early this morning, Mars squares Neptune. I'm not a fan of this energy! Watch your back; remember, all that glitters isn't gold! Watch out for energetic/psychic vampires. 

Mercury, Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter are all working together to sweeten today's strange energy! We have a Mercury-Saturn trine late this morning. This is an inspired Fire trine, closely followed by a lucky supportive Venus-Jupiter sextile! The Benefics are working together, offering some much-needed assistance! These aspects signify friendly support and assistance. 

The Moon goes void of course this morning and remains void until this evening! This is NOT the day to make big decisions! Having the Mars-Neptune square active during an all-day-long void Moon is bad for decision-making! Information is untrue and confusing. Take everything you hear with a grain of salt; we will have a clearer perspective once the Moon enters Scorpio this evening. 

Today has major shit show energy; don't take it personally. 

The Moon is in Libra; the Moon in Libra is cooperative, partnership-oriented, social, appreciative of beauty, fair, balancing, indecisive, and indolent. 

The Moon in Libra is answering to Venus, at home in Libra! 

This gives us major support!

Mars in Cancer squares Neptune Rx in Aries at 5:52 am; ugh. This aspect is rough. Our sleep and dreams are deeply disturbing tonight. It can feel like infiltration energy. Pray for protection. This aspect can signify illnesses, stomach issues, and deep emotional distress. We are not seeing things clearly now. This aspect can signify lies, illusion, delusion, deception, scams, and wolves in sheep's clothing. Please protect yourself. The energy is strange as we start the week. This aspect is great for sports, exercise, and spiritual warrior work/battles. 

The Moon is void of course all day on Monday. The vibes are just off...

Strive to remain grounded and centered; it will not be easy! 

Moon in Libra sextiles the Sun in Leo at 7:31 am; this is an uplifting, hopeful, optimistic aspect! The Sun and Moon are working together, as the Sun shares more light and empowerment with the Libra Moon. The Sun is at home and strong in Leo and is blessing us, reminding us of our personal power. 

The Moon goes void of course with this aspect, and remains void all day until this evening! Although the Moon goes void with a nice aspect, long void Moons get weird! Today is great for behind-the-scenes work, organizing, cleaning, and tackling tasks you've put off. It's a great day to rest, regroup, and reset. 

Void Moons are NOT good for making big decisions, making plans/appointments, launching businesses, projects, or classes. Avoid arguments, confrontations, and fights at all costs! Disagreements tend to escalate quickly and get ugly during void Moons. Pick your battles; wait until this evening to address any issues or make important decisions. 

Mercury in Leo trines Saturn  Rx in Aries at 11:27 am; we are getting inspired information and long-term support for our goals and plans. This is a green-light aspect! We can expect to hear some hopeful or good news at this time. Stick with the facts.

Venus in Libra sextiles Jupiter in Leo at 12:16 pm; the Benefics are working hard to uplift and support us! Helpful friends come through for us! This is an ideal time for beauty and self-care. Remember, the Moon is void, so overspending is a possibility! Enjoy the sweet things in life. Open your heart, and share your gifts. Enjoy a healthy, delicious lunch with a friend. 

The Moon enters Scorpio at 5:46 pm; the Moon in Scorpio is intense, penetrating, secretive, jealous, introspective, passionate, strong-willed, possessive; urge for intimacy; death and regeneration.

The Moon in Scorpio is answering to Mars in Cancer, highlighting the Mars-Neptune square from this morning. 

Moon in Scorpio opposes Chiron Rx in Taurus at 7:15 pm; we need to take a moment to ourselves to integrate the day's events and energy. Elevate your feet and enjoy some herbal tea. Some of us could feel drained and exhausted by this energy; maybe we just need to get to bed early.

 Opossum- Diversion

Opossum's greatest form of protection is to play dead.

Opossum is asking you to use strategy in a present situation. Rely upon your instincts for the best way out of a tight corner. If you have to pretend to be apathetic or unafraid, do it! Oftentimes, if you refuse to struggle or show that hurtful words bother you, your taunter will see no further fun in the game. Warriors have used Opossum medicine for centuries, paying dead when the enemy nears and outnumbers them. 

Opossum may be relaying to you that you are to expect the unexpected and be clever in achieving your victory. This could be a victory over a bothersome salesman or a nosy neighbor. In essence, Opossum is beckoning you to use your brain, your sense of drama, and surprise- to leap over some barrier to your progress.

Year of the Yang Fire Horse!

Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine! 

 Bedroom Feng Shui

I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.

Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
