“We need to sit on the rim of the well of darkness
and fish for fallen light with patience.”
(Pablo Neruda)
We are indeed, in the dark moon phase
– through the 19th of September,
sitting firmly within Mars’ FIERY Retrograde.
{Incidentally Mars went Retrograde on 9/09. The same day the Oregon fires started. California’s fires on the 8th.}
This is the closing out of much of what we have known before.
This is the beginning…
Opening a crucial transitional period towards the year’s end,
and what lies ahead
And beyond
The New Moon in Virgo is Thursday 9/17
INTENSITY
is still to be very much a dominant aspect of our experience.
So much of our personal landscapes have been forever changed
by the past months {years}
Like the fires wreaking havoc in the American west,
the virus stopped us in our tracks with the fire of fever,
and the choking of lungs.
It has run through the body of our human experience, like wildfire, destroying lives and livelihood.
Leaving us vulnerable, looking for shelter…
in shock, and questioning
what is real, what is true, what is to be trusted.
The façade has been stripped away,
exposing what is beneath the layers and layers of conditioning.
Pushing us to release the programming that we’ve held all our lives – for generations.
As we prepare to receive the new moon
and next week’s Autumnal Equinox,
we sit on the edge of a deep well of darkness
that will only intensify with the shorter, darker days of fall into winter.
We may find it harder than ever to be patient,
and harder than ever to radiate light.
But never has it been more important To Be
…both patient and “light”.
Be gentle within your own vulnerability
and with the vulnerability of others.
Be brave in moving forward,
striving not to linger on the past.
Seek out a richness and depth of experience.
As always,
allow nature and the natural cycles of the season to guide, assist, and nurture.
For though these are (to use an overused phrase) unprecedented times, filled with much darkness, heaviness and intensity
This is a time to reconnect with the a truer, purer self
and with the enchantments of life.
From the darkness,
the Shadow self will rise to bring clarity, and, ultimately,
peace with who we are meant to be.
