♥ Welcome September ♥
Several dates to keep in mind for this month:
Sept 5 – Mercury Retrograde ends but its shadow intensity will linger through the weekend – with Sunday 9/11 having a marker
Full Moon – Weds 9/06
New Moon – Tues 9/19
Fall Equinox – Fri 9/22 (Sat 9/23)
Sept 26 and 31 both have “TBD” markers on them, as well.

{Key words: acknowledgment, see, OTHER-WORLDY (faeries!)}

GUIDANCE:
This month GAIA (the great earth goddess ~ “Mother Nature”) will continue to remind us of her rule over man, as she demands our respect & “ACKNOWLEDGMENT” 
We will continue to experience her power, her strength, her destruction…
and the
healing & hope,
grounding & connection
that her intense beauty and nurturing can bring.
As well, all that she commands within the realms of her “Earth Spirits”
– the Fae (or “Faeries”), sprites, tree folk, and the like…
will become more and more active and even visible to those whom,
Gaia is saying… “allow their eyes to SEE”.

As we work through the last bits of Mercury Retrograde and through more and more powerful, transitional, pivotal… astrological alignments
(which kicked into full swing with the New Moon Solar Eclipse of August and continues through Jan 2018)
it will be near impossible to ignore the push and pull of the infinite outside sources upon us.
We will notice many triggers and events that will intend to give rise to fears and lower emotions – within the individual and/or the collective consciousness.
The more stubbornly one insists on wearing blinders, the more aggressive that push and pull will become.
Giving into fears and lower emotions and stubbornly “digging in your heals” (especially with regards to old truths and beliefs) is NOT the best course of action.
Rather, being positive, flexible, and open to change – especially when it comes to mindset and beliefs around “truth”,
will allow you to flow more smoothly through what might feel “warped” – like swimming through jelly or floating within a fun house mirror, at times.

This rise in earth energy & “earth spirits” will continue all the way through October.
With October also bringing forward the more visible and interactive presence of the multiple realms and realities, and the spirits who reside there…
the two (earth spirits and the spirits “beyond” or “beside”) intensifying in sync with the thinning of the veil that happens as we begin moving into and around (the crux on) 10/31 and 11/01 thru 11/03.

All of this can be a recipe for intense emotional fluctuations.
The mind may feel scattered and overwhelmed.
The physical body will also be challenged as it struggles to adjust to these changes in frequencies and waves of energy.
Those of us who are more used to the effects of channeling energy will likely find this easier than others. We will, however, need to remember…
that the intensity of psychic bombardment.. of feeling/seeing/hearing… could be overwhelming if not tending to our clear boundaries and spiritual practices,
to honor the need for rest – as will everyone,
and to take advantage of the great surges that will allow for extra productivity.

For those who are less familiar and/or consciously engaged with these…
the body has to adjust to new, intensified demands.
This can be compared to electric shock therapy happening in parts of the body. Magnification of energy around us, especially in certain ways or “realms” is the same as electrical currents flowing through the air, and into and through the body.

Though Intuitive, psychic, and spiritual expansion will happen much more quickly, the physical body then needs time to catch up.
Diet, exercise, rest, periods of quiet contemplation,
allowing for intense emotions to be released in a healthy and safe way (if you need to cry or scream, give yourself the space and a safe place to do so.) – release and move on,
spending time in nature (grounding!),
and drinking plenty of water
will help bring the balance and the focus.

The transition to fall – the equinox and the “Harvest” will be especially worth noting and participating in, in some way.
Creating the space for deepening one’s spiritual connection and practices around this time, will bring the extra tools needed to make the most of the weeks following.

(Remember also to use the other tools that Gaia brings – CRYSTALS, stone, herbs, ALCHEMY…)
