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!
