A Fallen Cross on the AUtumn Equinox May Open the Head Wound in Aries

We're leaving the hot summer months in the Northern Hemisphere and crossing over the horizon into a new Cardinal Impetus.

Time to harvest and gather the wheat.  The primary “Virgo goddess” in mythology is Astraea, the Greek virgin goddess of justice who, according to myth, ascended to the sky and became the constellation Virgo.  She is often shown with her sheaf of wheat.

“We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.” ~ Genesis 37:7

Physically, the sheaf’s binding of multiple stems makes it more durable and protective than a single head.

Symbolically, it represents the combined strength of many, embodying abundance, resilience, and the harmony of nature’s cycles

~ greek.mythologyworldwide.com

So, a sheaf of wheat is “stronger” than a single wheat head both in its structural integrity and in its symbolic power.  There is power in numbers.

Now, we are turning back to the earth.
All the collected energy of the sun, that created the beauty of Demeter or Ceres, blesses us with bounty, the very bounty she uses as leverage against Pluto/Hades who has kidnapped her daughter Persephone and taken her into his ‘UNDERGROUND’ lair, where as the story goes, he rapes her.
So, the earth ‘EA’ or ‘Gaia’ is swallowing the sun.

This also leads us into the full moon on the 26^th, which I will jump back into later and the upcoming Venus and Mercury retrogrades in Libra and Scorpio.

For now, let’s dive deeper into this earthly moment in time, when the EQUI NOX OR EQUAL NIGHT AND EQUAL DAY has us pause at this LIMINAL moment.

Everything hangs in the balance.

Libra is literally the ‘SCALES OF JUSTICE’.  So much alchemical information hidden in plain sight, all leading us to comprehend the inner journey. 
The Evolutionary path of the soul in this dimension.

Just as Demeter takes back her power, so to can we utilize this very time, to worship the light within, to see the radiance of our own journey.

So many revolutions, ‘spins’ around this central light, once again showing us that we are evoluting around the central light of the world.

Once more I am told to share this profound line in the Gospel of Mary Magdalene.

“22) The Savior said, All nature, all formations, all creatures exist in and with one another, and they will be resolved again into their own roots.

23) For the nature of matter is resolved into the roots of its own nature alone.

She goes on to say: “10) And desire said, I did not see you descending, but now I see you ascending. Why do you lie since you belong to me?

11) The soul answered and said, I saw you. You did not see me nor recognize me. I served you as a garment and you did not know me.”

Those are just a few lines, from the damaged manuscript from the Berlin Codex. 
just those passages are so bountiful with layers of truth, hidden in plain sight, that the ‘missing pages’ might be like overindulging in too much sweet food.

It is far more than one can possibly comprehend and unpack in one sitting.

“The nature of matter (ma’at/materia/material) is re-solved (sol is sun, and many transits or flights around the sun, sol, soul); into the ROOTS of its own NATURE.

When I begin an apprenticeship with someone who asks for this private experience, we start in nature.  Because without that ‘seeding’ of GNOSIS, everything else is like the parable of the farmer, casting seeds in Matthew 13:1-23, Jesus tells the story of a Sower who scatters seeds on four types of soil. Some seeds fall along the path and are eaten by birds, representing those who hear the message but do not understand it, allowing evil to snatch it away.  

Now, I will remind you that all the precious metals and jewels (crystals) are formed in heat, time, and pressure.

When a woman gives birth, the pressure builds and there are ‘birth pains’.

Precious life emerges. 
So too, is the current state of the world, providing pressure, heat and in time, so much is being revealed that the majority were not aware of and even to this very moment, are people ‘turning from the heat’ and choosing to IGNORE the very pressures that will help us give birth, to alchemize the soul’s light, ‘ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.’

Notice, I am only quoting a much higher power, intelligence that is there for all to see.

Even Lao Tzu was observing nature, contemplating and joining the ‘altered state’ while being very much HERE.
Buddha did the same, contemplating suffering under the Banyon Tree, in the much-sighted origins of Buddhism.

Jesus walks with the people, heals the sick, feeds the many by multiplying loaves of bread.  He does not ‘abandon them or the world’, he does however, leave on his quest, pray alone, meditate, and find time to gather strength and guidance.  He lived as a man, flesh and blood (thus the Passion: Pathos/pain He endures) to SHOW THE WAY, HE IS A WAY SHOWER.

So too, are we to seek God. 

This CARDINAL TIME, IN BETWEEN, EQUAL NIGHT AND DAY, beckons us to do this too, to follow the clues of nature, NATURAL LAWS, and prepare to go within as the Winter Solstice will draw us underground December 21^st at 3:50 PM EST.

Okay, so let’s unpack this a bit more, shall we?

I mean, what is it that we are being told by the stars, which we are given: In Genesis 1:14, God creates the stars “to serve as signs… for days and years”

While the solar ambassador is just left the mutable sign of Virgo and is now at 00°Libra, the Nightsky empress is at 15°43’ Aquarius. Sesquisquare the sun, telling us this can be a bit of a difficult passage, or challenge to integrate or assimilate these two energies, but given they are both in air signs, we are given a clue.

Libra wants harmony, balance, justice, and is concerned with the ‘other’ or ‘partner’ and Aquarius deals with the quality of the individual bringing his or her personal qualities and abilities to the group or community.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, which is now very much electrifying the air waves with sudden AWAKENING MOMENTS, that come out of the blue.

The best one can do, is to look to your own personal Uranus, the aspects or channels he uses in the electrical grid of your chart.

Your own neuronal mapping and pathways, and these are accessed via Chiron, the wounded healer as we have stated so many times now.

For where you heal your own inner wounds, the karmic ties of the past (L’Shanna Tovah) which is a Jewish High Holiday or ‘New Year’ that of course, is right before the Equinox.  It’s like there is a manual outlining all this for us, and as we awaken, we finally see what a loving God was instructing us to do, even though we did not yet reach the level of comprehension as to why.

We also see the sun is now forming a Grand Trine, activating the Libra position, forming a trine to retrograde Uranus who is at 05° Gemini and on the other side, we have retrograde Pluto 03°11’ Aquarius.

Cue: Blind Faith ~ Can't Find My Way Home ~ (Original Acoustic Version) HQ Audio

BLIND FAITH

"Can't Find My Way Home"

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone

Somebody must change

You are the reason I've been waiting so long

Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time

And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

 

Come down on your own and leave your body alone

Somebody must change

You are the reason I've been waiting all these years

Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time

And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

Still I can't find my way home

And I ain't done nothing wrong

But I can't find my way home

Dorothy and friends, all looking for various pieces they feel they are missing, follow the yellow brick road (Gold: AU the sun) to the Emerald City (Green Lion) Wizard of Oz (oz is ounces)

And must navigate many terrifying (TARA/TORAH/TAROT) circumstances that come out of the blue, so she can get back to Kansas, HOME.

They must avoid being misled, or not FACING THEIR DARKEST FEARS, that the evil witch, black hat, flying monkeys and all, provides so expertly.

She goes through all those ordeals, including the ‘poppy’ or heroin fields, (addictions) which put them back to sleep…and it isn’t until the very end, she is told (realizes) through confronting the ‘wizard’ behind the curtain and the return at the final hour of the Good witch, ‘that she has ALWAYS HAD THE POWER’.

ALWAYS

“Wake up Dorothy, you’ve been having a bad dream!”

She is seeking LOVE

Ordeals you say?
There is also this CROSS:
Cross:

Pluto RX 03°11’ Aquarius Opposition Mars 26°58’ Cancer

Chiron RX Aries Opposition Venus 06°34’ Scorpio

Neptune RX 03°05’ Aries Opposition 00°00’ Sun Libra

OPPOSITIONS

Pluto we see is pulling back the veil again, just as Chiron who recently has left TAUrus and is retrograde back into the unfinished business in Aries, now 29° 58’ standing across from Venus 06°34’ Scorpio, the Plutonian world of what we love and value, being excavated from beneath the ‘SURFACE’, once again magnifying this alchemical transformation, to unearth what is buried within you. 
You are asked once again, ‘What do you VALUE’?
If your answer is ‘MATERIAL’ you will be sent back, might have to have Ms. Gulch come and kidnap TOTO.
When I watched the fire, consuming my home, the only thing that actually mattered to me, was the things from my sister, Barb, that she had made or given to me, because she had crossed over, and I wouldn’t be able to replace them.  They represented her. 
Her love, and our connection.

But she came to me so many times during that period, I knew she wasn’t really gone at all.  They were touchstones.

Value=what we love

Chiron finds a way through his position in your own chart, to MAGNIFY the wound TO WHAT WE LOVE.

HE OPENS THE GRAIL CUP AND POURS THE ELIXER INTO YOUR MATERIAL BEING TO ENLIVEN.

Now, he is leaving TAUrus, to open YOUR MIND, review what we pay attention to, give us another ‘heads up’.

He is going to travel back to 26°Ar15’ D

Before he begins to station direct on January 6^th and will re-enter TAUrus again on April 14th, 2027.
So, we have this period for research, reflection, and reconsideration.

Much will happen on the world stage between now and then, because that curtain is also being pulled back on the world stage too.

 

The ultimate realization in Aries, is to KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

“WHO AM I?”

Before you enter the community, you would do well to know who you are.

Everyone knows that person, who walks into the room and everyone looks, the light is shining brightly from one who knows who they are, and better than the false light, is connected to the LIGHT WITHIN AND WITHOUT.
You know who also goes underground?
Isis and Sophia
Both seek to repair the light or find their balance, their partner.

Sophia is ‘tricked’ first into following the ‘false light’ and must struggle, both repeat the number ‘13’, as there are 13 pieces of Osiris to put back together and Sophia has 13 repentances.
I have a much longer piece I am working on, that will delve deeper into the symbology, but for now, that will suffice.

"O Light of Lights, I have transgressed in the emanations;

I am fallen into the chaos of the world.

Save me, O Light, from the lion-faced power."

 

Do you wish to trample the Great Lion and the serpent?

Retrograde Neptune RX 03°05’ Aries is still sitting between that Pluto and Uranus trine.  She also opposes the sun and the full moon will find the Luna at 3°Aries, ILLUMINATING this POWER AND WHAT NEPTUNE IS DISSOLVING.

This can definitely be a lot to manage, there will be much madness in this world, as those who have not done the GREAT WORK, will have NOTHING in reality to tether to, and even that may be difficult for those who are still ‘with child’ or who haven’t used these alchemical energies to OPEN THE BOOK OF LIFE INSIDE THEM.

A GREAT FORGETTING WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE COMING YEARS.

 

Neptune DISSOLVES MATTER INTO SPIRIT, IT IS THE GREAT OCEAN.

However, along this path one can be seduced (7 powers of wrath) in the poppy fields and fall asleep again.  Be sure to set your alarm so you can wake up.

Across those waters above, we see the sun, trying to ILLUMINATE, to HARMONIZE, to help us find ways to partner with ourselves and then to others, but Neptune needs BOUNDARIES, like any body of water, or you can be washed away and down the river that is moving faster and faster in this QUICKENING.

She also helps us to DREAM.

Once again, matters of incarceration, and old age will seep into the airwaves, as she stands between Pluto and Uranus.

Pluto wants to REVOLUTIONIZE in Aquarius (ruled by Uranus), but we must also be vigilant and AWARE, what are the BOUNDARIES, THE SAFEGUARDS?

Mercury 19°28’ Libra forms a trine to the moon 15°43’ Aquarius, this emphasizes COMMUNICATION AND COMMERCE (MERCANTILE) and just who qualifies.

Mercury is also going to station retrograde next month on October 25 at 20°Sc55' R do we see this running theme of Scorpio being played?

The dragon and the south node, defecating what we have digested with the north node, Rahu, the head of the dragon.
What are we feeding our spirit?  Venus is also going to begin to station retrograde next month on October 4th Oct 4^th at 08°Sc28' R (Scorpio)

And VENUS will begin to station DIRECT Nov 14 2026 at 22°Li51' D, reemphasizing this Libra Harmonization and along with Venus, Mercury also begins to station DIRECT within hours of each other at 05°Sc03'.

To magnify this equinox and full moon on the 26^th, Jupiter is also opposite the moon Jupiter 18°07’ Leo the lion and Trine Saturn RX 12°11’ Aries.

This will bring up themes of leadership, who we trust to lead or govern and how we lead or govern ourselves.  Saturn in Aries is really struggling to shape up and forge those mental fires, and how we control fire, or how fire can rage (anger) and destroy us or relationships.
Is everyone being heard?  Considered?
We have an exact OPPOSITION we are also heading into between retrograde Pluto who will have travelled back to 03°06’ Aquarius while Mars will have charged over to 03°06’ Leo, again bringing up the issues of leadership, royalty, and this also opens the very real possibility of leadership changes, not excluding possible deaths.  Perhaps the story of Mitch will come to light.

We know we have world leaders who quite visibly are having health issues, ‘Hygeia’ again.
The full moon on the 26^th at 12:48PM at 03°37’ Aries, standing across from the sun at 3°Libra is going to bring to light all the issues outlined above, and if you don’t quite see or understand now, perhaps this will help ILLUMINATE THIS A BIT MORE FOR YOU during this time.

I pray we all have much to be grateful for, and it is easy to see and feel for everyone.

Quick recap: There can be a lot of difficult and confrontational aspects, stirring up ISSUES, and a growing awareness of larger burdens.  This may ask us for an adjustment, are we taking a realistic approach, given all we now know?
Pay attention to what surfaces during these times to help guide the way.
And PRAY

These constraints can act as a catalyst, and it can also be a breaking point. Emotional and Mental disturbances might be overwhelming, the SYSTEMS will strain and fissures are going to appear.

We are given a peak behind the scenes to see Black Moon Lilith at 00°55’ Capricorn forming an out of sign trine to a retrograde Chiron at 29°48’ Aries to the tail of the dragon, Ketu at 29°35’ Leo and he is cuddling up with Hygeia at 24°52’ Leo the Lion who is waiting right behind, inspecting the defecation of the dragon at 29°35’ Aquarius, leading us into the new age.

Hygiea is named for the goddess of health, a daughter of the Greek medicine god Asklepios. (who is one of Chiron’s best students). The word 'hygiene' comes from her name and the asteroid has a bearing on issues of cleanliness, health and well-being.  Illness and disease (especially 'dis-ease') come under Hygiea, and the healing processes required for restoration to wholeness and harmony.  This asteroid seems to act as a cleanser and potentizer (to borrow a useful word from homoeopathy) and can activate transformative processes that produce a 'new improved' version of some aspect of life.  Concepts of purity and purification also seem to be very important with Hygiea, and it can help people to 'clean up their acts' on many levels.

A little Rudolph Steiner:
𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐧 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐱 - 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟐

"When summer drew to a close and autumn set in, when the leaves withered and the crops ripened—in other words, when the full, exuberant life of summer faded and the trees became bare—one sensed this, because the insights of the mysteries flowed into these very sensations: The divine-spiritual world withdraws once more from the human being. He feels himself being turned back upon himself; he grows, as it were, out of the spiritual and into nature. — Thus, human beings experienced this immersion into autumn as a withdrawal from the spiritual, as an immersion into nature. The leaves of the trees mineralized; the seeds withered and mineralized. Everything, as it were, was drawing toward the annual death of nature. {...]

And to the students of the Mysteries, to whom one wished to impart teachings that might serve as guiding words—just as one told them in midsummer, ‘Receive the light,’ and in autumn, 'Look around you—one said to them in the depths of winter, ‘Beware of evil.’

And it was hoped that through this prudence, through this guarding against evil, people would arrive at a kind of self-knowledge that would then lead them to realize how they had strayed from their moral impulses over the course of the year."

—Rudolf Steiner, The Annual Cycle as the Earth's Breathing Process and the Four Major Festival Seasons, Lecture V, GA 223, 8 April 1923, Dornach. https://rsarchive.org/.../GA223/English/SOL/19230408p01.html

Alchemy of the Soul The Arc of the Ancients (SIGNED COPY)

Yes, all this is leading us up to the November Elections in the U.S.

I will have more on this later, but does anyone doubt at this point, that there is going to be CHALLENGES?
We can already see this with the Autumnal Equinox and Full moon in September.

PRAY
I'll have more on this later, for now, you can unpack all this.

Until we meet again, may you ride the waves gently and not get thrown into the unfathomable depths, but rather float almost effortlessly in calming seas.
