Seasonings
Rapid change is afoot. Life is sliding into winter in the northern hemisphere. The whole planet is going quickly, anxiously into the future. Fear is likely to be the dominant feeling. Let go. Let go of it all. Be present. Surf the wave or wave bye bye.
This week the Sun conjuncts Jupiter in the last degree of Virgo on the 21st at 4:49 pm PDT. There's a fullness, an abundance of your talents, a ripening of your assets. Yet harvest is the end of a cycle. The transition leaves you feeling: is there enough? Worry can be fountaining. Guts can be churning. The mind screams for attention. See that there never is enough in the Dream; but also see that there is you and your choice and your capacity to manifest what you want regardless of the silly noise.
The Sun goes into Libra, the Autumnal Equinox, on the 22nd at 9:30 am PDT. More on this misunderstood sign next week. This is the time of the year when time flies. You can feel that you can't get it all done. The clock has shrunk and your to do list has balooned. The biology drives many of these feelings as the days get shorter. We squirreled away sustenance for so long as organisms respondent to the seasons. Now we don't quite know what to do with ourselves. For most of us the food market carries on the same year round but our cells and their emotional byproducts scream to get it done now. So go ahead and let it all unwind. Do what you want to do, even if that means your busy. Just don't believe it all. You can drop most of the noise of the mind if you choose.
This is an exceptionally change filled fall however. Within seven days, by the 28th, four planets will depart Virgo for Libra. Sun, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury will move through that Autumnal Equinox point in rapid succession. There is a certain boomerang effect. Reversal of fortunes, 180's, flip-flops, switcheroos and so forth abound. You think you know what's going on and then whammo, you don't. So much for thinking. The Wheel just happens to be turning at an amplified rate and you can perceive it now. This goes on continually in Creation but now you can get a clearer glimpse. Be present and the chaff falls away maybe with a wee bit of chafing but you'll go with the grain instead of against it.
All kinds of instant weddings and divorces will be occuring, literally and figuratively. Don't buy what's on the surface, be it sizzle or gristle. It's hard to be together right now only because the mind makes it difficult to be. Trying to be together bodes for trying times. Be. Have a choice life. Meet is what mate is about. If you aren't yourself, you can't meet and mating only begets disappointment. Give it a skoash of time. Breathe. Play. Express and listen. The juices will flow. Scorpio is only a month away. Your presence is already opened mate, so have fun.
Seasonings greetings,
