High Vibrational Essences

Last week while searching for Mary essences, I found two websites offering vibrational/gemstone/flower essences which I totally resonate with: Mary Essences and Galactic Grace.

Essences work on a vibrational level within the entire psyche (mind, body, soul, spirit). I feel these essences will help stabilize me (us) with grace and ease while I (we) progressively evolve and birth into the new age of rapid higher frequencies of light. Our collective evolutionary impulse is among us now, and the quest to increase our capacity to hold more and more light in our bodies, minds, and souls is not only increasing, it is imperative.

If you would like to be imbued with help from Mary and the Galactic Grace of our universe, I invite you to visit Elizabeth Chandler's website. She offers free consultations to help select which essences are best. I am really drawn to several, particularly, Physical Body Shift (get description from Elizabeth), Infinite Heart and Awakening II, Sweetness of Solitude, Terra Firma , and Mary's Invisibility Cloak.

It is best to talk with Elizabeth before ordering, unless your guidance is totally clear. The essences are made fresh and do not sit on a shelf. Their quality is among the highest vibrational energy I believe I have ever felt in essences. Elizabeth shared with me that, "It is rare that someone need take the essences over and over. With right intention and dosage, the issues are cleared and we do not need to revisit them."

The Secret Teachings of Mary Magdalene

This is the best book I have ever read about the many faces of Mary. The book is filled with information about Mary's mother, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, and more...such as astrological definitions seen through the lens of the Divine Feminine, and about the light Mary is bestowing to us now.

The book is literally answering many questions I have had, confirming the beliefs and insights I have had about the Virgo and Capricorn archetypes being repressed under patriarchal guise. I have been very focused (Virgo) on developing the layout of chapters in my book, and furthering my writing about the Divine Feminine this entire month (lucky me).

Thank you Mary, I am always reminded of your divine presence here on Earth and Heaven above and everywhere in-between.

Virgo Planets squaring late Degree Gemini/Sag

Well, I am really feeling this upcoming new moon. Or am I feeling Saturn/Sun/Mercury squaring my natal Jupiter, in square to transiting Pluto. Yes, I am feeling the T-square, big time. Very intense for me.

Solution? This too shall pass. I need to remember that all I have is this moment. Projecting now is not going to help. I began a deep cleanse this week and I realize now that the timing is not really appropriate. Too much pressure on my physical energetic body. The planetary influences are enough.

Powerful Virgo New Moon

September 18th brings us a power-packed New Moon in Virgo just before the Autumnal Equinox on September 22nd. The message of Virgo now with Saturn, the Moon, the Sun and Mercury in Virgo is simplify, focus, and consolidate our things, our thoughts, our emotions, and our time.

Additionally, Uranus opposes all of the Virgo planets. The opposition of Saturn and Uranus only occurs every 40 years throughout a period of time. "These planets stand for entitlement vs. equality, entrenchment vs. progress, hierarchy vs. grassroots initiative. The generations of Uranus in Virgo, Neptune in Virgo, and Pluto in Virgo have especially significant gifts to share at this pivotal time in history." (Stephanie Austin, Mountain Astrologer)

This new moon also highlights the last pass of Saturn before his ingress into Libra in late October. Two and half years ago Saturn ingressed into Virgo from Leo. All this expansiveness fire brings (Leo) has been scrutinized by detailed Virgo, cutting our excesses down to size.

Mercury Retrogrades

Mercury is now in retrograde motion at 6 degrees of Libra and will continue to move backward in the sky over the next three weeks until it reaches 21 degrees of Virgo on September 28th.

As Mercury sojourns backwards through Libra, it squares Mars in Cancer, thus it is a good time to check in with ourselves about balance in our actions with family, our own self-care and nurturing, as well communicating with a Venusian perspective in mind, such as with grace, beauty, mindfulness.

During this time, we can ask ourselves a few questions: Am I in balance in my relationship to myself? Am I spending quality time with myself so I am truly available for interdependent relationships and relating, or am I acting from codependency? Am I angry about anything? Am I allowing myself to express it? If not, now is a great time to reassess the equilibrium of our inner and outer relationships. Where are we overly concerned in others affairs? What areas of our lives do we need to create more beauty in?

By September 18th, Mercury gains in aspect to the New Moon where he joins a few other friends too. Namely, Mercury conjuncts Saturn, the Sun, and the Moon in Virgo and squares Pluto in Capricorn in opposition to Uranus in Pisces. This new moon is really powerful!

All those with early degree Cardinal planets and placements (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) and late degree Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagitarrius, Pisces) will feel this retrograde time and the upcoming New Moon the most.

The Health Care Reform issue will be at the forefront of the news. Virgo is the health sign and with the sun, moon, Saturn and Mercury all in Virgo significant changes are bound to come forth. Virgo is also the sign of service, healing, and devotion. So, personally, we can ask ourselves: How and where am I of dedicated service in the world? Where have I been underestimated or devaluing my greatest gifts? Where do I need to focus my life force, my emotions?

Mercury also reaches a trine aspect with the Node Node in Capricorn just before the new moon and all throughout the retrograde and direct period. This heralds a time of significant structural reform within ourselves and the collective.

On September 29th Mercury moves direct again and passes over the degrees it is now retrograding through. Thus, whatever we feed during this retrograde time is what we will be harvesting when Hermes goes direct.

Enjoy the rest, relaxation, and renewal!

Celestial Timings

As we move forward into the last quarter of 2009, the evolutionary galactic vibration speeds up. Throughout September and October, Saturn opposes Uranus. By October 30th Saturn moves out of Virgo and ingresses into Libra for the next two and half years. Uranus has been stationed retrograde at 26 degrees Pisces since early July, basically, hanging out, waiting for his partner in the alchemical dance of change and stabilize to arrive.

These two planets build into an exact opposition by September 10th, temporarily, as Saturn continuee to move direct into the early degrees of Libra by January 4, 2010. At that time Saturn will station retrograde and begin building into another exact opposition with Uranus, as Uranus moves direct December 1, at 22 Pisces.

November 1st, Saturn makes an exact square to Pluto, kicking off the necessary friction to bring true balance and transformation into our collective partriarchal mis-managed and finances, government, and conventional business models.

Uranus and Saturn will do this dance throughout 2010. Eventually their encounter builds into an exact T-square aspect with Pluto, the first occurring in July 2010. So please remember our souls were called forward at this evolutionary leap in time to experience a Renaissance in Consciousness. If we haven't learned how to navigate our way in balance by now, now is the time, because its time to dance. Please jump on board because the chaos vibe will be increasing. Maintaining and living from the vibration of grace, love, and peace are of primary importance if we prefer to ride on top of this wave of change.

If there are areas of your life that have been underfed, the time is now to address them. If we are giving our power to our jobs, our boss, our partner, our fears, we are in for a big wake up call. True power comes from a deep willingness to meet our soul and dance its song, all the way home. And home and how we get there is different for each one of us, therefore it is important to know your inner and outer operating systems so to speak.

September 4th brings us a full moon in Pisces at 12 degrees. The moon will trine Vesta, a great time for sacred devotional meditation, sacred sensuality, sacred dreaming, and building the inner hearth. Mercury turns retrograde, September 7th, in the sign of Libra at 6 degrees. Hermes journeys all the way back to 21 degrees of Virgo, squaring Pluto by the third week of September, and passing by the Sun and Saturn and opposing Uranus along the way.

Mercury's square to Pluto will demand serious transformation of our ability to communicate our deepest truth in all of our relationships. This includes the collective's relationship to the infrastructures which run our country.

Then September 18th brings us one power packed new moon in Virgo. The moon conjuncts Saturn, the Sun, and Mercury, all in tight opposition to Uranus. Virgo's eye of scrutiny will force us to clean house and change the furniture around too. A definite recipe for crankiness and irritability. Choosing mindfulness first is the balm for this configuration.
