Tonight, we will be gathering, as we do almost every New Moon, to clear the way and set our intentions for the coming cycle.  Having done a bunch of writing for tonight, I thought I would share some of the information here.

September is always an intense month. Numerologically, it is the apex of whatever the themes of the year have been. It generally has at least the tail end of a Mercury retrograde. And it kicks off the astrological sun sign(Libra (balance, relationships) .

This New Moon is no exception.  In August, I wrote about a global chapter shift that was happening, and about the planet shifting, and at the end of July, I mentioned an impending astrological configuration that was setting up an energy we hadn’t seen since the late 1960s. This month’s New Moon adds to that. The planets are all pointing toward revolutionary action, rebalancing, and social consciousness or global awakening, a time when people are no longer willing to put up with unjustice and make a stand.

Love is an energy, not an emotion. Some people say that love is a verb. It is a state of being, and it is the energy that exists in all things. Love is a form of magnetism, it is the stuff of creation. Love allows for balance, for stillness, for peace. Love is what we are being called to at this very moment.

The challenge is that the easiest way to get ourselves to seek out something is to invoke or create the conditions necessary for its opposite to exist. So we find ourselves at war, with each other, with our neighbors, with political systems, with the economy, within ourselves. Participating in those struggles, those conflicts, is not always the most strengthening thing to do. This is not to say that we shouldn’t speak out or act out against injustice, but if we want peace in our lives, we must first seek it out within ourselves.

So, instead of getting amped up for battle, slow down. Breathe. Bring your attention in to the center of your chest. Breathe. Gather yourself into the very center of your heart center. Find your center, find your still point. Relax. Do not struggle. What is it you want in this moment? Can you raise your vibration, can you give that thing that you most want to your opponent?

Take a moment to write out all of the things that make you happy, all of the people you care about, all of the things you are grateful for.

Now go find those people you care about, and tell them what they mean to you.

Practice giveaway, by helping others.

Seek out your own stillness, rather than the next fight.

This is the way to weather what might look like the storm, to make it to the other side.

Namaste,
