Be grateful for what you have
Welcome to The Harmonising Times as the new moon in Virgo on 17th September called us to unleash our creative energies. To be grateful for what you have.
With six planets in Earth signs, both the limitations and pleasures of the physical are demanding our attention. It is the moment to connect with Mother Earth, the senses, and attend to the needs of reality around you.
With Mars now retrograde in Aries, this is also the moment to re-consider how your actions and choices support, or not, what you truly desire.
To Create Your Vision, Be Calm
The question then becomes where in your life are you over-complicating it? Focus on creating simplicity, a key theme for the 2020s.
This particular new moon wants us to find the pleasure in developing discipline. To help you use the current Mars retrograde to review every aspect of your life.
The Virgo new moon will help you focus on details of your self-growth and evolution. Each of us has to become our own student and our own teacher. Our soul is crafting the lesson plan, all we need to do is follow the creative energies of the instructions.
With Virgo being a Mercury-ruled Earth sign, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the mind when trying to define and create your vision. Should you find yourself becoming too self-critical, try some actions such as meditation or sitting in Nature to calm your thoughts.
Namely to observe your body and where and when it is sending you a message about the conflicts it holds within. You can find a process to do so in my post “How To Survive The Coming Time With Ease And Grace“.
The best way for you to honour this new moon is to focus on developing skills and techniques to keep yourself feeling whole and complete. To me this starts with a daily practice. The moment to switch from yesterday and the dreamworld to the creative energies of today.
This does not need to be more than 10 minutes of calm and quiet. Yes, I do my yoga, though what I have found is any stretching and moving helps me achieve that “Gregory time” to set up the day.
Take Baby Steps
Clarity as to your next steps is what is required and this needs to be communicated and distributed. Mother Earth is de-cluttering and cleaning house on every level, and we cannot stop. Expect more environmental and health concerns over the coming month, forcing us all to face the reality we have co-created.
Take inventory of your responsibilities and duties and decide are they really all yours? For, as I was outlining yesterday to a visitor, your body is always sending messages when there are internal conflicts. Pain and dis-comfort first and if you are seriously ill then…
As we create a vision for ourselves, so it will also be to those who seek to lead us.
Let go of the person you ‘thought you should be’, and discover the soul of who you really are. Put aside thoughts as to how to achieve the vision.
In order not to be overwhelmed by what you think is needed to reach it, take precise baby steps. The ones that can be achieved tomorrow.
Virgo wants to create order from the recent chaos and does so through meticulous discernment, eliminating the unnecessary so you prioritise only what has value to you.
Mastery of what you perceive as the mountain top calls. This is not a journey we need to take alone. The new era is based on working with Spirit. Co-operation, understanding and compassion will be the new ways of society.
Mercury in Libra rules the new moon. Harmonising our mental approach and communication may help attract alliances or maintain a pleasant image.
Disruption may come from the volatile Mars retrograde in Aries – suggesting re-adjustments may be called for. Once aligned with the stoicism of Saturn and our higher responsibilities, we can withstand any frustrations and conflicts.
Questions To Initiate Reflection
Or, perhaps you are the challenger who speaks truth to power, finding the dignified voice of your own authority. The one we have subjugated to the demands of others?
My sense is this new moon is going to require us to constantly pivot to new information and the greater levels of truth which appear. To focus on what we know to be real and true, not the stories of others.
Take some time around this new moon to feel grateful for what you have. Even though you may also have some adjustments to make that will help life to be even better.
Here are some questions to initiate reflection within you:
- Are the choices you made so far this year working for you? Or is it a moment to re-do an aspect, even if it means admitting there is a lesson yet to learn?
- Are the action steps you are taking effective in helping you attract more of the results you want? Do you need to change anything you are doing to be more effective?
- Is what you are doing in your daily life working for you? Do you need to re-consider how you go about life in order to take better care of yourself?
Each of us is being reminded “YOU are fully responsible for your health and wellbeing”. The moment has arrived to use the creative energies to include serenity in the acts of playfulness and transformation. This requires trust.
Your Being is yearning to steer towards leadership of some kind.
Which raises the question what have you been putting off because working on it will inevitably create an inner shift? Leading to you taking the second step from your comfort zone.
Use Your Creative Energies To Make Your Choices
Your soul is excited by what is possible. Hence it is asking you to take that leap of faith and follow your intuition and deeper insights into the bigger picture.
For it knows December 2020 will initiate a new 20 year cycle toward 2040, as well as a new 200 year cycle through the Air element – connection to Spirit. 2040 marks the tipping point of a new era for Mother Earth – a Cosmic humanity.
Each of us has incredible decisions to make about the direction to take. As Virgo is also about health, this is the moment to initiate something new which will bring healing into our lives.
Trust your intuition in the decision making process you are undoubtedly engaged with at the moment. Use your creative energies.
The current plethora of Earth signs suggests you create space in Nature to assist the process. Observe what surrounds you because you become the environment you are in, so choose wisely your surroundings.
Whatever you focus on is going to leave a long-term impact, your legacy perhaps?
The creative energies of the equinox arrive early afternoon on 22nd September – the moment of almost equal dark and light. The Sun moves into relational Libra. Marking a shift of seasons and a focus on the other in partnerships and relationships.
Whilst turmoil may feel ever present at this moment, never forget you are part of something much grander than just yourself. Through the quantum field, every word, thought, action and gift of kindness you share really does transform the world from the inside out.
It helps us to embrace and create balance in all aspects of our lives. Its stillness may help you gain a glimpse of what is possible.
Then October´s Two Full Moons Rise
Would you like an experienced viewpoint, a fresh perspective and practical pointers, this really is my speciality. Whether about shifting energy, joining the dots to gain insight into anything, stuck situations, releasing ingrained ancestral patterns or having an expert sounding board for plans, all of these are what I love to help with.
Then schedule an “Accelerate Your Life Session“ with me. Or, email me by clicking on the contact tab to explore possibilities.
A week later on 29th September Saturn goes direct. Which means “only” five planets are now retrograde – which only happens 4% of the time.
Saturn is asking “what responsibilities (to those who depend on you) are you now aware of, and how are you redesigning how you work/live to sustainably live up to those responsibilities?”
The next full moon is on 1st October. Unusually October has two full moons as the second rises on its very last day. Both rise above the horizon around sunset. The latter rising on the 31st is also a blue moon.
The first full moon is in Aries, influencing the head, teeth, tongue, striated muscles, penis, gall bladder, arteries and blood. That at Halloween is in Taurus, influencing your neck, larynx, throat, vocal cords, thyroid gland, tonsils and Adam’s apple.
The Aries moon indicates this is an ideal moment to embrace your inner leader, bring your friendly competitiveness to a climax, and make some bold power moves when it comes to any project you have been working toward.
14th October Mercury goes retrograde in Scorpio. The highlight will be shifting decisions and revelations of hidden information in the coming months.
Which reminds me of these prophetic words from Maya Angelou:
Now if you listen closely
I´ll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
´Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone
Alone, all alone,
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone”
Message From Source
The latest message indicates:
An interesting position is emerging. One which was not expected. One where humanity loses confidence in itself. This has occurred in your previous history and has needed new leaders to appear to lead everyone across the bridge.
This is what is emerging as fear creates concern about where to go and what to do. The new sense of responsibility cannot therefore operate because there is no faith or hope in what is unfolding is for the benefit of all.
Today marks a point for which humanity can choose to emerge or descend further into its own darkness. There can be no light without the dark, just as there can be no light without the dark. The two are always present, only each of you chooses the path to follow. All can then be identified.
As you traverse between the light and dark you sense the difference., though know both are present in all aspects of Creation. The choice is whether to follow your instinct or to follow what you believe.“
Beliefs, careers, relationships, needs, and truths, can all serve their evolutionary purpose, become worn out, and need to be exchanged, discarded, or upgraded.
The weeks to the end of 2020 will remind us change is overdue.
