Fall Equinox 2010

Fall Equinox 9-22-10

For the first time in 19 years, the beginning of fall, the Autumn Equinox, and the full Harvest Moon are together on September 22, 2010. The fall equinox begins at 11:09 PM ET, so get in you meditations before you go to sleep. Ask to remember your dreams too, as you may get some great ones.

Jupiter is coming closer to Earth than any time since 1963. It is also conjunct (within 10 degrees) of the Moon, and conjunct with Uranus (the harbinger of the Aquarian Age). What this means is the energy of the Moon, Harvest Moon no less, is greatly amplified by Jupiter (the Cosmic Amplifier), as well as metaphysical energies of Uranus. Uranus is symbolic for our Higher Self and also represents sudden, unexpected change. Therefore, these unexpected changes are good for our Soul, but if our ego is out of alignment with our Soul, we will NOT enjoy the changes.

On the other end of the Moon—Sun Opposition, which creates a full moon, the Sun is conjunct Saturn (take care of unfinished business NOW or let go of it). Therefore, the Sun is tying up loose ends and letting go of the old, while the Moon is bringing in the new age of Uranus/Aquarius. In fact, Uranus has been in Pisces for many years and finally moved into Aries. However, Uranus has returned to Pisces to stir things up again in the remnants of our Piscean (hierarchy, separation and hard work) structure to bring into the Aquarian structure of unity, cooperation and equality. The expansive energy of Jupiter (sitting inbetween the Moon and Uranus) is amplifying the entire process.

Furthermore, Saturn (the force of restriction) is conjunct the Sun, whereas Jupiter (the force of amplification) is conjunct the Moon. Therefore, the feminine, emotional and unconscious energies of the Moon are being amplified and expanded (Uranus), whereas the thinking, masculine and conscious energies of the Sun are being restricted (Saturn). This shift in power structure further pulls us out of the patriarchal/polarized age of Pisces and into the androgynous/unified Age of Aquarius.

The full Moon (Sun opposed Moon) during the time of the Equinox signifies that the unconscious (Moon) and conscious (Sun) minds will be interfacing, and, hopefully, integrating into each other. With this alignment of our consciousness, our superconscious mind can come fully online.

Just as the Sun and Moon (masculine and feminine) are meeting via an opposition, Mars and Venus (masculine and feminine) are joined with only four degrees between them. AND, they are in the sign of Scorpio, the sign of transmutation. The change of Uranus is sudden and usually quite obvious. On the other hand, the changes of Scorpio are gradual and stem from deep within.

To make sure that these Scorpio, inner changes DO take place, Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) is in aspect (sextile) with Mars and Venus (in Pluto’s sign of Scorpio) and squaring (90 degrees—do it now) to Saturn, who is sitting next to the Sun. In other words, the unity of Mars/male and Venus/female is being supported by the Pluto’s power of transmutation. On the other hand, Pluto is keeping its pot of “frozen fire” boiling under the conjunction Saturn and Sun (karmic changes in world government—meaning that which was put out is now coming back). Meanwhile, the torsion waves flowing from the Galactic Center are entering our planet and physical forms more and more each day.

What does all this mean? Changes, changes, changes! If we Flow with our Soul and allow the old to leave and accept the new, we are in for a fun ride. On the other hand, if we hold on to that which is over and resist that which is new, we will be very unhappy. The choice is our—as always.
