The weekend feels like a warmup for the South Node Solar Eclipse on Oct 2, as the Sun, South Node and Mercury align and you can feel what’s calling for attention in your relationships and how you show up in your life. No matter what you think, your relationships will mirror back to you what you are actually projecting into the world by the way others respond to you.

Sept 28/29 – Sun conjunct the South Node (past) in Libra. The 3D focus is on relationships, others and how you interact with them. Libra seeks peace, beauty and harmony, which can come at the expense of your authenticity and true desires, especially if your primary focus is fitting in, looking good or making others happy. This setup is a recipe for codependency, sacrifice, resentment and/or life as a performance, rather than living your truth.

Maybe you are stuck in an old pattern that keeps you from feeling fulfilled. Whatever is out of alignment with your true nature and Authentic Self is up for release. Consider this an invitation for spiritual purification, a purge of habits, behaviors and/or relationships that don’t serve your highest good or nurture your well being.

Sept 29 – Sun, South Node and Mercury conjoined in Libra. Now you are looking at your beliefs, attitudes and old ideas (even those that worked), with the intention of recognizing what is complete from the viewpoint of your Evolving Self. What needs to be eliminated, retired or let go of to create space for the new? This also applies to limiting beliefs and mental clutter, such as fears, worries and your old story. Create space for your new story and your future!

Mars trine Saturn supports practical actions for the long term, such as slowing down to focus on what’s really important and gaining clarity. This is a good time to eliminate any busy work that’s eating up too much time, but is not really important to you.

Jupiter sextile Chiron. This will be in orb for a few weeks and during this time you can evolve and heal if you are ready to focus on your growth.

Sept 30 – Mercury cazimi the Sun. You may have access to new info, ideas, clarity and illumination that moves you forward with wisdom and insight. A blessing. Look for connections, conversations, and create space to go within for your own inner guidance and downloads.

Oct 2 – South Node Solar Eclipse in Libra (10º) @ 11:49am PDT. This New Moon Solar Eclipse is a major new beginning and in Libra, it goes to balancing your life. Eclipses are wild cards – we never know what they will bring, but if it does touch your life, it can activate changes that create fresh opportunities, new directions or a path you wouldn’t otherwise have taken. Stay tuned…

The South Node is conjunct the Solar Eclipse, indicating a release, ending, let go and/or you honor your past with reverence as you unclench tight places that are holding fear. The opportunity is to stay high and open the heart to serve as a balance point for life going forward – shifting into Higher Self vision to navigate the 3D landscape. If you stay too close in 3D, the ego can easily get drawn into the messy drama being played out that will occupy your mind and interfere with your evolution.

Venus in Scorpio rules the Sun, South Node and Mercury in Libra. Venus in Scorpio is magnetic and can seek transformation (if you want it). It will dive in, do the research, get the real story and dare to go deep for a meaningful breakthrough – or it won’t participate. It’s either in or out. No middle ground.

Issues around trust, power, safety, $$ and the strategies you utilize for protection are all on the table this week for exploration. This is fertile ground, as these issues can run your life – and if you break free in any way, it will be liberating. This is a great place to start if you want to journal, meditate or do breathwork. You are safe now and you deserve to be free.

Venus is in a Grand Water Trine with Saturn in Pisces and Mars in Cancer, enabling you to access your feelings, intuition and unconscious memories and feelings, especially with the proper support. Breathwork is a powerful way to access buried emotions to have a release, and there are lots of teachers in person and online (youtube) and you can do this at home if you want. Also, EFT (Emotional Release Technique) is another modality that is available online and easy to follow if you know what you want to release.

This is a powerful week to take responsibility for your behavior in relationships, what you’re ready to eliminate from your life that will elevate your experience and allow yourself space to focus on what needs attention in your world.

Stay awake and expect the best. Choose your company and community wisely; surround yourself with people who see you, mirror you, inspire and elevate you. The effects of their loving attention and the connection will amaze you and you will blossom in ways you could never have done on your own.

Until the Autumn Equinox when the Sun enters Libra on Sept 22, we have powerful Kite pattern – a Grand Earth Trine (the Sun in harmony with Uranus and Pluto), and Neptune opposing the Sun. This is a dynamic aspect that supports transformational change and manifestation – this is an auspicious time to focus on who you are becoming as you evolve and what’s calling you forward. 

Sept 20 – Sun opposite Neptune. Seek fulfillment via higher states of consciousness, compassion and imagination, and give yourself space to wander, putter or relax. Tap into your dreams, visions, creative expression and intuition for messages regarding you path and purpose. 

This isn’t practical energy, as you may have selective vision (seeing through rose-colored glasses), which can set you up for being deceived or deluded. Don’t make any big decisions today – and if you feel lazy, tired or drained, allow yourself care, comfort or a time out, choosing loving actions and activities that don’t drag you down.

Sept 21 – Mercury square Jupiter. Bright ideas, optimism or big talk. This is helpful for expanding your perspective if you have tunnel vision, supporting you to step forward if you’ve been reluctant. There may be good news, you may be juggling several projects simultaneously, you see new possibilities and have lots going on that requires you to focus to manage. The goal is to find practical ways to make your ideals and big vision a reality without overcommitting and creating stress.

Sept 22 – Lots happening today with four major events occurring.

First, Sun trine Pluto (exact) – part of the Grand Earth Trine that supports you being in your power, offering strength and perseverance to actualize your intentions. Use it well. 

Sept 22 – Sun in Libra (Autumn Equinox) @ 5:44am PDT  – As the Sun enters other-oriented Libra, we experience the balance of light and dark to enter the Fall season. At this time, we are seeking to create peace, balance and harmony in our lives and in the world. Hold that vision, as Neptune opposes the Libra Sun with the South Node is nearby, which can bring a tinge of confusion, uncertainty, melancholy as you’re asked to release old, nonworking patterns, which you may not want to do. 

Or you can hold a higher vision of a dream you know is possible, embracing the future now, willing to trust the changes via free spirit Uranus and transforming Pluto, still trining the Sun. It’s not a spiritual bypass, as you’re aware of the ongoing daily drama and violence, but you know that we’re in process, and the prominent darkness has an expiration date as a new world is being birthed. This is all part of the process…  

Venus square Pluto – This brings up issues around trust, power and control, especially in relationships. It also speaks to hidden agendas, covert actions, CSI info and investigations, obsessive desires and power plays in any dynamic – love, work, friendship, family. 

Pluto-Venus has the power to transform a broken heart, hurt feelings, and unconscious wounds if you do the work. The square is intense, but you can direct the energy for your healing if you utilize it consciously. Forgiveness, Self-love and awakening to your true value and innocence are possible, as well as healing trust issues that affect your life and relationships.

Venus in Scorpio – Venus moves into passionate Scorpio until Oct 17, where it pursues what it desires with incredible intensity, seduction and magnetism and it wants to be in control. This is the “all or nothing” Venus – connections that can go deep instantly, wordlessly, energetically IF the vibe is right. Or vice versa – you’re in or you’re out. This transcends conventional wisdom about appropriate behavior; desires are strong and Venus in Scorpio can be obsessive. Pay attention and notice who you and what you magnetize into your orbit.

Mercury will be touring outer planet connections this week, connecting with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Look for messages from the Universe and through people to come your way. Whatever you see, hear and think is based on Law of Attraction (what you’ve called in based on your frequency) and your personal filter (your consciousness and your thinking). Your job is to get the messages, based on your experiences and what you tell yourself about them, and then determine what to do with the info. 

Sept 24 – Mercury trine Uranus. New info, sudden changes in thinking, surprising conversations or connections, innovative ideas come through you or others, which are all possible with this bright, stimulating energy. You may get new insights, flashes of brilliance or receive the benefit of another’s genius. Make the most of this fertile energy!

Sept 25 – Mercury opposite Neptune. The mind (Mercury in Virgo) opposing dreamy Neptune, the nonlinear energy of compassion, imagination and intuition can create confusion if you’re seeking facts or details. This is perfect energy for creative pursuits, spiritual practices, leisure and intuitive guidance. Writing, channeling, sound healing and journaling can be fruitful in this beautiful, flowy energy that may offer info about your direction or next steps. 

Sept 26 – Mercury trine Pluto. This enables your thinking and communications to be powerful, persuasive and impactful – or you connect with others who have those qualities. This supports sales, pitching a project, seeking investors, partners, or formulating a plan of action. You will have great focus with an eye on detail today. 

Later, Mercury moves from x-ray vision Virgo into we-centric Libra until Nov 2. Libra loves a “win-win,” fairness and harmony. Negotiations are favored, polite conversations, social gatherings and even letter writing. Mercury in Libra loves to communicate in eloquent ways, yet is very strategic with a keen mind for knowing which moves to make (think chess). 

Use the Mercury energy well this week. You can gain valuable info, insights and intuitive guidance to support your path going forward, as well as to stabilize yourself. And be judicious about where you place your attention – you are co-creating your reality and you have more power than you know. Truly. You can shift your life on a dime with the proper support if you are willing to change.  

We are crossing a threshold as we move through the Autumn Equinox, into the new season that will close out the calendar year. Stay awake. Choose your direction and thoughts deliberately. You can’t afford to be sloppy with your life. You are far too precious for that. Namaste. 

“It’s easier to stay well than to get well.” ~ Dr. Howard Cohn

“If you argue for your limitations, you get to keep them. If you argue for your possibilities, you get to create them.” ~ Kelly Lee Phipps

“The world doesn’t need more copycats, parroting the same information and following the same life script. The world needs more rebels, innovators, fringe-dwellers and trailblazers who are challenging the status quo and living their own unique purpose. Stop trying to fit in. Dare to be the original masterpiece that you are.” ~ Christopher August

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

Mercury has moved beyond its Retrograde shadow, now in fresh territory with new info and new insights, as we proceed through the Wormhole (a cosmic passage between different realities) toward the Lunar Full SuperMoon Eclipse on Sept 17. Time feels elastic, with the pace accelerating and slowing alternately, and your nervous system may reflect that. 

This can be exhausting, with distorted energies that can undermine your well being if you aren’t centered, so it’s imperative to operate from a high perspective (an emotionally detached witness) while practicing impeccable Self-care. Grounding in nature and using conscious breathing (even for a minute) will help to bring you back to the present moment where All Is Well. 

Sept 15 – Venus trine Jupiter. This is joyful, expansive, optimistic energy that promotes connections, togetherness, blessings and abundance. You may enhance your Self-image with beauty treatments, style upgrades and it’s good for Venusian purchases (jewelry, clothing, art, home decor), investing and manifesting. On a higher level, open your heart to see the beauty and possibilities around and within you through loving and supportive eyes. 

Sept 17 – The Lunar Full SuperMoon Eclipse in Pisces @ 7:34pm PDT. A Lunar Eclipse is a Full Moon, when what’s hidden comes to light and this SuperMoon is extra close to the earth with a greater impact. You may experience a completion, a release or the culmination of a story. Lunar Eclipses are turning points that are often felt internally (the Moon = needs, feelings) – and in sensitive, mystical Pisces, this is a deeply emotional Lunar Eclipse (perfect for a healing session, meditation, prayer, journaling, massage, writing what you’re ready to let go of and burning the paper). 

The Lunar Eclipse is on the Pisces/Virgo axis, both signs of service, but practical Virgo is busy doing, whereas nonlinear Pisces is about presence, compassion and empathy. The Eclipse can bring things into or take them out and they have a fated, unpredictable quality. On the day of the Eclipse, you’re “in the dark,” so don’t try to figure things out or draw immediate conclusions. Allow the dust to settle before making decisions or taking actions, be flexible and know that you may not experience anything personally, you may just watch the world stage for any dramatic events. 

The Lunar Eclipse squares Jupiter – and is conjunct the North Node of Destiny in Aries, indicating a stretch to step forward, to have an adventure or follow a vision. If you ever feared judgment by others for being too big, too visible, too sensitive, outspoken, crazy or radical, the antidote is to stand in your Authority and declare: “This is who I Am.” 

North Node in Aries says: “I Am who I Am.” You don’t have to find yourself – you need the courage to BE Your Self. 

The Lunar Eclipse is also conjunct Neptune, boosting the multi-dimensional energy of intuition, Oneness and Divine Love, lifting veils of illusion to reveal truths – or creating deceptive illusions to conceal truths (higher expression-lower expression). You may be ready to revise your dreams to match your Evolving Self and life – and/or release a dream that isn’t relevant anymore. This is a Self-check in.

This Lunar Eclipse is sextile to Uranus and Pluto, which indicates that you can tap into the strength to make needed changes in your life. The overall energy is in service to revolutionary transformation at best – for you personally or to contribute to the community/world. Where or how can you take an innovative approach to be more Authentic and step into your power? 

Watch for sudden changes, weather events, endings, upheaval, power plays or manipulations that true believers commit to for a cause. (P.S. Everybody thinks they’re right :)). Give yourself space on Sept 16/17, as emotional and psychic energy will be high approaching and on the day of the Eclipse, which can lead to overwhelm. Compassion for all is the keyword for a smooth passage and easy does it…

Sept 18 – Mercury opposes Saturn. This is exact on the 18th, but you may feel it on the Eclipse. Mercury-Saturn brings you down to earth with practical decisions, details, paperwork, contracts and serious conversations. Get the details in order (Mercury in Virgo), if you experience delays, opposition or an authority blocking you, get more info. Get rid of fluff and focus on projects that matter as you are in reality following the dreamy Pisces energy, with the Moon entering Aries just after Saturn-Mercury, clear and ready for action! 

Sept 19 – Sun trine Uranus. This reinforces being your unique Self and enjoying it! Doing something different to express your individuality is aligned, changing your routine, look, environment or methods – maybe new technology or taking a risk to go beyond your comfort zone in some way. If you get a surprise, it should be good, as long as you are open and flexible. Rigidity is stuck energy and that’s a Uranus invitation for a wake up call!

Sept 20 – Sun opposite Neptune. This is dreamy, low key day as your energy is being called within (Neptune). Spiritual practices, creative pursuits, nature or leisure are all perfect for this soft, sensitive nonlinear energy. Follow your Inner Guidance to feel how best to honor yourself. Skip the bookkeeping, detailed work today, if possible – hold puppies, kittens, babies and connect with your spirit. 

Mars is still in sensitive Cancer from Sept 4 – Nov 3, as the planet of action is motivated by feelings and intuition. It has to feel safe and be in the mood to take action before it will engage. The North Node of Destiny in Aries is ruled by Mars, so learning to honor and align with your feelings will help you further your purpose and direction at this time. 

Mars in Cancer is protective of family and loved ones, attuned to needs and feelings. Seize the moment when you feel upbeat and energetic to handle business and your To Do list – and give yourself space to chill or be nurtured when needed as well.

This week is part of a larger turning point and we’ll just have to see what happens. Remember, sudden events and surprises can occur that clear obstacles from your life or manifest breakthroughs. If a fated event occurs that’s a game-changer, your job is to remain flexible as you watch to see how things unfold with an open mind, expecting the best and showing up as needed. You can do it. 

You chose this exciting time to be here, as we turn a corner and move through the final Lunar Eclipse with Pluto in Capricorn. Things are changing – not just this week, but this year. Can you feel it?! We are on the move! 

“Anxiety is excitement holding its breath.” ~ Diane Berke (paraphrasing Fritz Perls, MD)

“Always let your conscience be your guide.” ~ Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio

Laziness kills ambition

Anger kills wisdom

Fear kills dreams

Ego kills growth

Jealousy kills peace

Doubt kills confidence.

Now read those right to left… ~ Unknown

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

We are in the Eclipse Wormhole (a cosmic passage between realities), from the New Moon in Virgo on Sept 2 until the New Moon in Scorpio on Nov 1. In the Wormhole, dramatic events and surprises can occur that clear obstacles from your life or manifest breakthroughs. If a fated event appears that is a game-changer, your job is to remain centered and flexible, watching to see how things unfold with a philosophical outlook. 

Mars moved into sensitive Cancer on Sept 4 where the planet of action moves in accordance with its feelings and intuition; it has to feel safe and be in the mood to take action before it will engage fully. The North Node of Destiny in Aries is ruled by Mars, so learning to honor and align with your feelings will help you further your purpose and direction in the world at this time. 

Mars in Cancer is protective of family and loved ones, attuned to needs and feelings. Seize the moment when you feel upbeat and energetic to handle business and your To Do list – and give yourself space to chill or be nurtured when needed as well.

Sept 7 – Mercury squares Uranus for the third time, due to Mercury’s Retrograde in August. It began on July 21, then returned on Aug 18 and today is the resolution. Mercury has been active all week, accelerating its pace with an abundance of activities, messages, events and people vying for your attention. 

Mercury square Uranus can manifest as shocking words or info, a sudden change, breakthrough, rebellion or disruption. It can be tech issues. You may feel wired or ADD, have an innovative insight that’s a stroke of genius or make an impulsive turn to pursue a new path. If life speeds up, create space to modulate your nervous system and stay grounded/present in your body. Changes may be easier to make than you expect with this aspect.

Sept 8 – Sun opposite Saturn. This is a reality check in which you may have to make decisions about what is practical, doable and aligned with your goals. You may have to decide where to put your energy, eliminating less important activities. If you encounter an obstacle, delay or feel pressured, don’t be discouraged, rather, practice patience, set boundaries and focus on the long-term goal involved. The effort should be worth it if you’re on the right track or maybe this isn’t the day to pursue your goal.

Also on Sept 8, Mercury is the apex of a Yod with Pluto and Neptune, meaning there’s some info, event, communication or situation that creates confusion, a smokescreen, issues with power or something hidden and it’s hard to find a satisfying solution. You just can’t quite connect the dots and it leaves you feeling like you have a pebble in your shoe. Go up a level for a higher perspective and don’t buy into 3D drama. If you can’t find clarity, don’t push or try to force it. Stay high, watch and wait. 

Sept 9 – Mercury in Virgo. Mercury moved into Virgo on July 25, then Retrograded back into Leo on Aug 14. Now is back at home again in Virgo, where it can focus on organizing, sorting, details, systems, your health and well being (diet, exercise, alternative care) and clearing anything extraneous. Virgo brings you down to earth, it’s practical and analytical, discerning, “What is useful, what is not?” Clear the clutter and create space for good orderly direction to support you going forward.

Sept 11 – Mercury sextile Mars. Great for problem solving or assessing situations and deciding on a course of action as detail-oriented, x-ray vision Mercury in Virgo is in harmony with protective, caring Mars in Cancer. This is a great combo of mental focus and intuitive movement to create a balanced approach to upleveling your life. If you need to speak up about something, be mindful of Virgo’s critical nature and deliver your message compassionately. 

Sept 12 – Sun square Jupiter. Here’s the big picture, “yes we can” aspect! This is

positive energy, hot to trot and ready to take a leap based on inspiration, possibilities and high ideals. Because it’s a square, there are no brakes built in – you will have to moderate your actions b/c Jupiter doesn’t have them and sees no downside, only victory, success and a positive outcome. 

Sun square Jupiter wants to say “yes” to everything attractive or interesting, but with the square there’s a danger of over-promising and spreading yourself to thin. Jupiter is generous and full of enthusiasm, so monitor your output and your yeses. You may come up with bright ideas (great for visioning), connect with people who expand your world and override old fears to step forward, and in this way it can be very useful. 

The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is on Sept 17 @ 9:53pm PDT and in the wormhole, anything can happen. Hold space and keep a high vision, no matter what. Some people are triggered when they get what they want as their unconscious doesn’t align with them receiving the gift. Just keep watching and learning. 

This is a great week to focus on Virgo activities – organizing, clearing, raising your game re: anything pertaining to health and wellness. There is so much support for anything you need help with. Allow yourself to receive what you need to blossom, like fertilizing a plant so it can grow healthy and strong. 

I wish you a magical experience of sorting, releasing, expanding and creating. Enjoy your experience, even when it’s challenging. We are on the move and life is about to change!

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
