Full Moon Lunar Eclipse – 10.28.23

Dramatic times on the planet these days, the effects of which can blow your circuits- if you let them. I have been keeping my eyes and ears out of the newsfeeds as I find that when some horror slips into my awareness I feel like I have been hit by a truck going full speed right at me, triggering PTSD from my childhood experiences and past life recall and I am shattered. Nervous system on hyper alert and either I am obsessively trying to rearrange the furniture on the Titanic or am just flat out on the couch trying to abate the panic and dread that rises in me. This week I received a healing session from John Wing Flower (on the phone) during a nervous system
crisis I was having and within a short period of time I was able to calm myself out of hysteria into functionality, though I still had to lie down all day recuperating from a nervous system blow-out.

I am an empath and I am hugely affected by the energies coming into my field of consciousness. Now, more than ever, with my sensitivities only increasing, it is up to me to manage input as best as I can, to be present in my reality and not someone else’s and certainly not in the reality of places far away in circumstances that terrify all of us. If this is you, if you are also hyper impacted by events occurring around you that you have no way of controlling, the only thing you can control is yourself. And there are tools to do this. I am still learning (of course) and I am getting better at keeping my boundaries very clear for maintaining my mental health as best I can. Even with all the years of practice I have had I am still working on mastering these tools. A

And, as such, I will be participating in John’s TOOLS for EMPATHS evening class on November 2 (just $39!) and joining in his grounding and healing Virtual LIVE FULL MOON meditation this Saturday morning. Just like firefighters or any other front-line helpers, as an empath, you need to continue to educate yourself and keep working on your tools to manage what can feel like an unmanageable emotional onslaught these days. As the Full Moon approaches, especially an eclipse, energies are only intensifying, Grounding and aligning all your internal energies to maintain calm and peace inside is the single MOST important thing you can do to support yourself in these epic times of transition into which we each have chosen to incarnate.

Contact John at [email protected] to register for the Full Moon meditation
and for info on the Tools for Empaths class coming up on Thursday evening, November 2.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse – 10.28.23

The partial Lunar eclipse on October 28, even though not visible to all of us depending on where you are hanging out on the planet these days, will still impact each and every one of us. Where the Lunar eclipse fall in your birth chart will show you where you are having an emotional re-set. If any planets or points are specifically hit, you will be feeling those energies specifically triggered for growth and change into 2024. Being in the KNOW is a great help to being in the NOW! Issues of material safety and security and what we need to live are front and center.

With Mars, Mercury and the Sun conjoined in Scorpio, opposing the Full Moon, threats can seem quite real and you will need access what is the best stance for you to take to keep your balance. Working on your internal state of calm and balance, keeping your vibration as high as possible, is so important these days. Reach out for support if you feel overwhelmed and give yourself downtime to re-set and find JOY where you can. Jupiter in Taurus conjoining the Moon can make what you’re feeling even more intense AND Jupiter can bring many blessings from what feels difficult to emotionally digest. Being outside in Nature and communing with the Earth (Taurus) will help keep you grounded in your body and out of any trauma you’re experiencing in your mind.

Uranus at 21 degrees Taurus is out of orb to conjoin the lunar eclipse but it is bringing some dramatic changes to what we think we can depend on, what resources we have access to, and what is really real for you.

Pluto has turned direct at 27 degrees Capricorn and is making its way to completing its tour through the cardinal Earth sign ruling systems and who controls them. Pluto enters Aquarius on January 22, 2024 and will retrograde back to 29 degrees Capricorn September 2, 2024 through November 19, 2024. Then Pluto will re-enter Aquarius where it will bring in all kinds of new, as yet unthought of things for the next 20 years. What a wild ride this truly is.

Saturn in Pisces reminds us to find strength in connecting directly to Source energy. For me that is cooking, baking, gardening and doing at home creative projects with plant and flowers (Venus in Cancer). What grounds and supports you? Do that. Where Venus falls in your birth chart will help you to identify what brings you closest to LOVE energy. Right now Venus is at 18 degrees Virgo, just past the mid-point of this mutable Earth sign. Tending to your Priestess energy, where you can best be of service to yourself and others, will help bring you into calm and balance. Restful, re-charge moments by running water and trees will be of much support. Virgo remedies for soothing fractures in the emotional field.

Neptune is at 25 degrees Pisces, adding to confusion and lack of clarity. The past two mornings the fog was so thick in my neighborhood I could barely see the house across the street. Neptune in Pisces – slow down, go within to connect with Source energy and develop your intuition for best guidance through confusing times. Perfect time to join in John’s

NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE
21 degrees Libra
14 October 2023

New Moon Solar Eclipse – 10.14.23

Clearly it is a terrifying time on the planet. Unimaginable horrors. Psychotic brutality.It is up to each of us to call in and anchor Venusian energy, the radiance of the Divine Feminine, in all her forms, to bring balance to a world on hyper speed madness mode.

This is the time that we have incarnated to participate in creating the shift from one way of living to another. And it turns out that this transformation is occurring in the way things have occurred on this planet since humans have been roaming about, and what a nightmare it is for so many of us, participating and witnessing barbarity we all hoped would never be seen again.

SO…what’s an empath to do?

Empaths are here to channel the higher vibrational energies coming to the Earth right now. It is impossible to do this work, to keep the channel open, if you are processing massive inputs of grief, sadness, trauma, and terror. Since empaths feel other people’s feelings, empaths need to claim their psychic boundaries very clearly so as to protect their energetic body.

As an empath you probably are HIGHLY sensitive to any kind of emotional shifts in the collective conscious. Do what you need to do to stay calm. In the calmness, in the stillness, you are allowing new energies to come to the Earth through you as a channel of that energy. It is imperative to keep your channel open now, unclogged with the feelings dominant in the collective. You cannot effectively bring in higher vibrating energies if you are focused on lower vibrating energies. This is the way of the empath – to clear the way for new energies.

If this applies to you and you want some extra support, John Wing Flower is hosting a LIVE VIRTUAL meditation this Saturday,
the day of the New Moon Solar Eclipse. John’s meditations are always a balm to our spirits. Just what we need right about now.

It’s a by-donation event.

Any amount greatly appreciated.

You might be a very different type of channel than an empath. Undoubtedly you are a warrior in your own unique way.
Honor whatever is your way. Nurture your gifts.

This eclipse is powerful. You will be setting intentions that will play out in the new year, 2024. Do your intention-setting with awareness, with still ness. Watch for reactivity. Neutralize reactivity by doing good deeds for yourself and others. It always works for me.

The Sun at 21 degrees Libra opposes both Chiron and Eris at 17 degrees and 24 degrees Aries respectively. Eris, the asteroid of discord, and Chiron’s karmic wounds all playing out in the Mars-ruled sign of the warrior. Will we be warriors for what we stand for, for our own truths? The Libra Sun rules the scales of Justice, ruled by Venus. Libra always opts for the peaceful path. My dream is that all the water on our planet gets permeated by psilocybin and everyone just falls in love with everyone else, and with themselves. A veritable storm of psylocybin raining down upon us all.

Mercury at 17 degrees Libra conjoins this eclipse so we know that negotiations, conversations, and connections of all sorts are flavored with Libran diplomacy and the desire to come to just and fair resolution in all matters. In your own life, see for yourself how this Mercurial energy plays out for you and your co-journeying companions.

Venus at 5 degrees Aquarius can be somewhat emotionally detached, able to see situations with slightly less of an emotional filter than the other placements of Venus. Aquarius supports humanity and has a global vision for new ways to approach old problems. Put that in your LOVE pipe and smoke it.

Jupiter moving retrograde at 13 degrees Taurus is still pretty close to Uranus moving retrograde at 22 degrees Taurus. Chaos is heightened as is relief by connecting with the Earth as much as you possibly can. Barefoot connecting is best.

Saturn moving retrograde at 0 degrees Pisces is far away from Neptune moving incrementally slowly retrograde at 25 degrees Pisces. Both are occupying the Neptune-ruled sign of Pisces, adding confusion to all the chaos, which is inherently confusing anyway. Extra care needed for your immune system.

Pluto is moving direct at 27 degrees Capricorn. The old systems are so obviously not working. Much change is afoot this next year as Pluto leaves Capricorn and moves into Aquarius. I can only imagine it’s going to be quite a ride. it already is.

Shine your LIGHT!

New Moon in Virgo 9.14.23

The light has shifted here in the foothills of the Rockies. Geese are calling. Hummingbirds have begun their migration to faraway places in warmer climes. Grasses are swaying. Whispers of Autumn are getting louder in my ears. I put on long underwear for the first time since last winter.

The Moon is darkening as she turns NEW in the mutable Earth sign of Virgo on September 14. 5 planets are moving retrograde. Mercury is stationing DIRECT, preparing to move forward after a topsy-turvy retrograde period that might have caught you up in some planetary mischief. I know I have been returning items left and right. Glad I am a keeper of receipts.

Be like the grasses. Let the breezes blow through you but not dislodge you from your anchoring on Earth. Let your seeds of ideas, dreams, and imaginings scatter about, seeing which ones to hold and which ones are to come forth at another time, if at all.
Be willing to let go of old plans to welcome the new.

With so many planets moving retrograde there is a slowing down, an imperative to contemplate, to consider, to weigh choices, before moving forward. Demands around you may make you feel rushed but do not let yourself be rushed. Slow down to the rhythm of the planets. Clarify your goals. Love on your intentions. Make plans that seem manageable. Nurture dreams. Virgo is great for helping to organize, clarify, and prioritize, Use this Virgo New Moon to help you to slow down and focus on what needs your attention, letting all other things take a back seat for now. What’s the rush anyway? You’ll get to exactly where you will get to and your job is to enjoy the ride!
