Hi everyone,
and let’s welcome the Autumn or Fall Equinox.
Traditionally, this is a period of harvesting so we can sustain ourselves over the long winter months when the ground remains fallow.
So I think this is time to take stock–3/4s of the year is gone–and what did we seed in spring? What is our harvest like? It’s also a good time to clear out clutter and make space for what you really value and what sustains you. Bless and release what’s not working for you–including people from your life!
This is a strange thing to say when the Sun is entering the sign of Libra, THE sign for relationships. But Libra is an Air sign, master mediator and bridge builder and diplomat. It is refined, classy and detached! (My older brother is a quadruple Libra and getting him to give me a hug has taken many years of forcing him to do so–he still gets a bit stressed out at the thought!)
What I am saying is, Librans are very sociable but very choosy about who they are emotionally intimate with. So this is a good time to take in some of that airy energy. It will help release what is not serving you.
So on the 23rd the Sun moves into Libra and the moon is in the opposite sign, Aries. But that’s not all–Moon is conjunct (next to) Jupiter and Uranus and Sun is next to Saturn.
According to Greek mythology, Uranus was the god of the skies–he was pure spirit (ether) and mated every night with his wife, Gaia/ earth. And he found his children, (known as the Titans) born from this union to be very ugly and so kept burying them, alive! One night egged on by his mum, one of his sons, Saturn aka Cronos, castrated his father and flung the testicles into the ocean–which gave birth to Venus, the ruling deity of Libra! (more on this at the next new moon).
Many years later, Saturn himself was defeated and exiled by his own son, Jupiter.
So what we have here on this full moon is grandpa Uranus and grandson Jupiter on one side, aligned with a fiery, impetuous moon (Gaia!) and the Father, Saturn aligned with the Sun on the other end.
So imagine this family feud going on Inside you–how might this play out?
One aspect of you–the Saturn Sun side–the SS, might want you to be objective, rational, detached, balanced, organised, follow the rules.
The other side, MUJ (moon, jup, uran), wants you to follow your feelings, break some rules, take some risks, trust your intuition.
So whatever New Moon intent you made, is going to face this inner conflict now.
Quite obviously you go to one or other extreme at your own peril–the other side will get pissed off. So best to find a middle ground. Do somethings that you really, really want to but also do what you Ought to. Do your duty but also do what brings you pleasure.
The last six weeks have been totally chaotic for me (therefore, accidentally sent the new moon article a week before I meant to) and although I diligently made the new moon intent, haven’t done a thing to follow through–instead, I am sitting and drawing all day!! So you see how simply this conflict can play out.
Anyhow so here is some eft to help resolve this conflict.
- Look at the Intent you made and see what’s been achieved and where you are resisting.
- Give a rating to your level of resistance from 0 to 10. (write it down).
- Start tapping with four finger tips on karate chop point (use either hand, doesn’t matter–but be firm with the tapping).
- Even though I made this intent (state the intent..) I haven’t managed to achieve ( state how much of it…) I love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I am not sure I can achieve the intent, I accept myself unconditionally.
Even though the intent seems like too much work and it won’t work, I choose to do it anyway.
Eyebrow: this intent
corner of eye: have been wanting it for so long
under eye: something keeps blocking me from achieving it fully
under nose: I am tired of this conflict
chin: I am now really ready to make it happen
collarbone: I still cannot believe it will happen but I am open to believing anyway.
heart chakra: I am so ready to make this happen
under arm: I feel so excited and happy at the thought of achieving this goal.
top of head: I know the universe will support me if I even start to work on it.
eyebrow: It could actually be good fun.
corner of eye: the time has come for me to have this
under eye: it is time to give up the procrastination.
under nose:I think I might really enjoy taking action on this goal.
chin: achieving this goal can be far easier than I imagine
collarbone: This goal can help me go where I want to go.
heart chakra: I know the universe is already standing by to help me
under arm: I am so ready and free to achieve this goal
top of head: I am already grateful to the universe for making this happen.
take a deep breath, exhale and notice if the number you gave the resistance has shifted.
Keep tapping until it is down to 1. Then take action and work on your intent some more.
God Bless and have a great fortnight.
love
