Mercury Direct, Full Moon in Pisces – Sept 2017

Happy September. This week involves energetic shifts that can easily activate edgy or button-pushing (confusing) interactions, so I suggest you tread lightly and be gentle in your dealings. Planets are changing signs and the Moon will become Full, which always heightens emotions (to add to the fun!).

Unexpected events can activate deep issues, bringing them up for your awareness. You have a choice – you can either resist them or use them to find a new way of operating that is more honoring and empowering (for you and others).

A challenge can be a Sacred Turning Point, should you choose to embrace the opportunity for your growth.

Here’s the lineup:
Sun, Sept 3: Mercury-Mars conjunction @ 28º Leo (Eclipse degree)
Tue, Sept 5: Mars in Virgo
Tue, Sept 5: Mercury Direct @ 28º Leo (Eclipse degree)
Wed, Sept 6: Full Moon in Pisces @ 14º Pisces

Mercury (communication, info) in loud and proud Leo, turns Direct on Tues, and is already slowing for the turnaround. You can feel its impact by the connection to Mars (warrior), exact on Sept 3. This means words can become weapons, so hold your tongue in the heat of anger this week and don’t dial pain. Speak up or pitch your agenda, but do it respectfully.

The Mercury-Mars conjunction falls exactly at 28º Leo, the Solar Eclipse degree, so watch for some BIG new info to come out, illuminating a past event. Probably something in world news.

What is your Solar Eclipse story? See if any new info shows up for you this week.

Also, if you’re triggered there’s a way to use anger as a tool for discovery. Anger is a path to discern a need that is crying for attention, buried beneath the fire. It’s a cover – and vulnerability is required to feel the truth of what hurts underneath. It’s worth it to find your hidden needs so you can get them met (file this under “Acts of Self-love”). Getting your needs met is the antidote for anger.

We’ve been conditioned by the energy of Mercury-Mars for a while now, as verbal attacks are the norm with a President who models this form of communication regularly. It’s astounding, but true. However, that doesn’t mean you should do it or that it’s an effective method for building connections to advance your cause, help others or make a better world.

If you think others are doing things TO you, the invitation is to check your perception and interpretation of events to explore and find another more empowering viewpoint. Finding your part in upsets and challenges requires you put on your Big Girl/Boy panties, but this is the path of evolution, peace and compassion.

Mars (action) shifts from CEO Leo into detail-oriented, analytical Virgo along with the Sun on Tuesday, inviting you to get busy and take practical actions to support your efforts.

The Full Moon in Pisces occurs early Wed morning in the U.S. This is an ultra-sensitive Moon with deep feelings of connection to All That Is, dreams, empathy and compassion especially for those with less power.

The 48 hours prior to the Full Moon emotions run high and reactions can be overblown. Our skin is thin. Our feelings are right on the surface. Use this sensitive awareness for mindfulness, meditation, spiritual pursuits, time in nature, listening to music or making art, doing yoga, playing with babies, animals. Something soft. Nurturing. Nourishing. Soothing.

Pisces rules the collective unconscious, and according to sound healer and channel, Tom Kenyon, humanity is at a choice point regarding what it will experience as a collective reality. The reality that will prevail is being anchored through choices we are now making, both as individuals and as a collective.

Choose consciously, with love, compassion and care – for yourself and for all Beings who share our planet.

Namaste friends. We’re on a mission…
