Equinox - Mabon

So, we made it through to the 22nd!  Lots of big shifts over the last day or two.

We now have the sun shining from gate 46, serendipity/growing upward.  This is all about embodiment, about balanced growth and moving forward, but as ever, it needs to come from humility and grounded in truth.  Paired with the Earth holding us in 25, innocence, where we now have Chiron too back for his last pass in this energy - he stays here till the end of February next year.

Jupiter has shifted back into the gate of the Trickster, 26, and Neptune back to the head gate 63, doubts/critical perception - a time to re-frame your views in an ever-changing world. This is a review time with both planets in retrograde and harks back to what was going on in January.  Take some time out to notice what's coming up for you, it may well relate to decisions taken then, events that happened at the turn of this year from the last.

And tomorrow morning at 07:52 GMT we have the autumn equinox, Mabon sabbat, the second harvest festival and the beginning of our review period which seems very apt with the shifts mentioned above.

I didn't mention Saturn for the September round up; just so much going on to report!  He has stayed within 38, the Fighter, giving us the chance to review what we are fighting for.  He has just turned direct again so will be making his way through the last couple of lines till the shift to 54 late in October before heading to 61 which will set us up for the show down in late December into January when Pluto and Saturn meet in that gate of Inner Truth. 

The Sun will trigger the Super Galactic Centre on Tuesday, the third time this month that point has been visited, one more to go in early October when Mars will be there.  The strong pull to soul-connections, soul desires - bearing in mind Saturn's focus it really is a time for finding out what is really important to us and letting all the rest fall away so we can focus on moving toward our soul yearning.

The Rune to step forward for this time is Dagaz.  Penultimate rune of the alphabet meaning the light of day, literally 24 hours, a day, but it also represents lasting new insights, often gained as a result of a heroic journey.  In fact in the heroes journey this is the point where we have returned to our 'normal' lives and integrate the new found knowledge; see the duality of expanded understanding amidst the requirements of day to day living.

That seems very appropriate as we come through what has been an extraordinary series of planetary manoeuvres, with more to come!

This does feel like a pause point where we can reassess and that is very much the feel of Mabon of course, reflecting the balanced nature of day and night before we move into the second half of the solar cycle as our days shorten to Solstice - so Dagaz is another perfect representation of that, the balance of day and night, you can see the shape is symmetrical and balanced. 

Take stock and don't forget to check in with how well you are nurturing and caring for yourself, Uranus is still working that 27 energy, if you don't heed any warning signs your body/soul is sending you, you'd better watch out a sudden awakening may be heading your way! 

Mabon blessings to you all
