As we approach the Autumnal Equinox in the North (Vernal Equinox in the South), it is a time to pause and reflect. The word equinox means equal-night (equi-equal nox-night) where the Day and the Night meet, and bow to each other. It's a moment of equipoise before the Night gains the upper hand in the North. This ladder spirals us all the way into Winter Solstice. (Thomas Cooper Gotch (British, 1854-1931), " A Golden Dream") The old word for the Autumnal Equinox is Mabon. Mabon marks the mid-point of the harvest season (rather than being the first day of Autumn as is the common, modern, misconception). It is when the Old Sun God dies, and rests in the arms of the Goddess. It is a time to pa
The MOON becomes new on Tuesday night, September 19 PDT, at 27 degrees VIRGO. The Sabian Symbol for the 27th degree of VIRGO is: ARISTOCRATIC ELDERLY LADIES DRINKING AFTERNOON TEA IN A WEALTHY HOME. Well, well, well... just in time for the wondrous witchy season of Halloween. This New MOON predates the Autumnal Equinox in the north by just 3 days, so I'd imagine that these fine aristocratic ladies are discussing the nature of the year as it reaches the balance between the dark and the light, that is Mabon (Autumn Equinox). More about Mabon to come... But first, we shall enrich ourselves with a discussion of this New MOON. New MOONs happen once a month (unless it's the rare twice a month even
As we roll right into September and the autumn season in the Northern Hemisphere, (spring in the Southern) there are some distinct energies at play. For one, we are in the last month of our JUPITER in LIBRA transit. JUPITER always brings a bigness to everything it touches and in this case, it has touched the other cardinal planet placings: PLUTO in CAPRICORN and URANUS in LIBRA. These are massively significant, generation defining placings and aspects, and they have definitely been felt! We can correlate the fact that the 'Doomsday Clock' has moved up to 2.5 minutes from midnight in 2017, with these signatures. (And to be clear, Astrology is not causing anything, it is an 'as above, so belo
We are preparing to pull into the station, in order to 'reverse our reversal' of MERCURY's retrograde journey. You are advised to keep your eye on the prize and take some deep, slow breaths. MERCURY and MARS are together at the very end of LEO, like a pair of hot-headed Viking twins, kicking around, looking for some action. If they don't find something 'constructive', they're plenty content with less savory alternatives. So put them to good use, NOW, to circumvent any trouble. Use this force to get your ducks in a row and make sure all the things in your world are working well, in preparation for winter, which is coming in the north, (summer in the south). We are now under VIRGO guidance, s
