Welcome Back To School & Back To Business…Awakening Squirrelly Discernment Between Going Nuts, Forgotten Acorns & Powering Up For The Forthcoming Equinoxes
Artwork by Barbara Merlotti
As we take a deep dive into the season of Virgo, may its grounding energy create a sense of order, structure and routine amidst the plethora of chaotic tidal waves manifesting in the theatrical 3D realm.
Virgo season started on August 22nd and will last till September 22nd; marking alignment with the equinoxes taking place on Planet Earth at that time.
When body surfing the waves on the crest of the last eclipse of the season on the Full Sturgeon Moon on August 28th . . .
Keep in mind that Full Moons during Lunar Eclipses are like Full Moons on steroids.
Remember that, during these rapidly shifting ebbs and flows, meditation on resiliency is a trait that humans can awaken with the energy medicine of Sturgeon.
If you can dig on rocks & gemstones…it’s always a good idea to recharge them outside under the Full Moon cycle which lasts a few days before and after the actual Full Moon.
Perhaps a little sea saltwater bath to cleanse and energize them at night during your sleep cycle will support your soul development during the Dreamtime.
Are you noticing how these powerful energies are triggering emotional releases, helping unearth hidden truths and perhaps serving as catalysts to breaking toxic patterns or relationships?
Eclipse seasonal energies and their aftershocks can be felt consciously by a growing body of people; as well as feel powerful and intense.
May we surf these energies so as to feel inspired to let go of stagnant habits, emotional baggage, and limiting beliefs.
And yet, it’s as if Great Spirit prefers providing a gentle nudge to return to our soul purposes.
Truly, it can be hard to perceive that in the throes of Climate Change, not to mention the militaristic and fear mongering cabal that still clings to a Planet of the Apes mindset.
Make no mistakes about the truth that humans are capable of creating beauty and showing our better angels with our humanity.
But we all know the factions of hidden hands that repress free and clean energy, shoot down ET crafts, and then lie to the general public that human made, reverse engineered technology are somehow a demonic threat from another planet.
Besides, people who have been reading this blog know that I don’t demonize demons. Inter-dimensional beings, like demons, don’t fly in spacecrafts or require clean up crews or autopsies after crashes because they aren’t sentient beings.
But if you’re listening to the raving lunatics that are looking for some false flag holy war, then that’s exactly what you’ll hear parroted by the likes of the current American Yale Law School Grad & Vice President from the MidWest.
A New Moon in Virgo on September 11 awakens feelings of safety relating to order and clarity, even in emotions. Tis the season to get organized, and get down to the nuts and bolts of everyday business affairs.
Try being more tolerant and accepting of life’s imperfections. It is better to trust life and let it follow its own path. Not everything must be according to our expectations.
The arrival of the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere or the Vernal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere will be on September 22nd.
Depending on your planetary location, movement towards cooler temperatures and shorter days or warmer temperatures and longer days will be playing out, respectively.
Energies in the Southern Hemisphere will intensify till climaxing on the Summer Solstice; while Northern Hemisphere energies will turn more yin-ward till reaching their zenith on the Winter Solstice.
Near the end of September, a Full Harvest Moon will happen on September 26th.
Native American and Asian traditional activities include moon-viewing dinners outdoors, harvest blessings, candle-lit gratitude circles, and a Mid-Autumn Festival with mooncakes at this time.
Spending time in meditation, focusing on positive energy, abundance, hope, etc., will be incredibly powerful and healing, not just for ourselves, but the entire planet.
Meditating in a sacred space on a consistent basis builds a growing energetic morphic field.
Group meditation in this way amplifies a field of collective energy.
The power of every individual and groups deepens and heightens our work with cocreative energies that are in alignment with planetary and universal peace consciousness.
Everyone has bias, and of course this is part of the human condition. It isn’t about setting aside our biases, beliefs or judgments.
Rather, it’s about moving beyond them.
Perhaps humanity’s violent and militaristic tendencies are waking us up.
Wars, plotting and scheming, abusive language, temper tantrums and micro-aggressions or even giving someone the cold shoulder are stale old dysfunctional ways of relating to each other that are ready to die and burn in a funeral pyre.
That’s why there is a growing trend of non-violent communication workshops out there so that we can wake up in the ways we relate to each other.
We don’t need to draw our swords and go to war with each other.
Keep in mind that changes in ages are like changes in seasons.
Everything is ephemeral and transitory.
And yet, all life is energetic and sacred nonetheless.
Have you noticed the squirrels, and chipmunks scurrying about,
and foraging like mad in their preparation for winter stockpiles?
It must run in the family, because groundhogs are gorging before
they go to sleep when consistently colder temperatures arrive.
I saw some wild turkeys on a hike the other day, and was reminded of their tendency to steal the winter storage cache of squirrels.
Perhaps they weren’t tickled about turkey’s thievery. But in their industry,
squirrels don’t seem preoccupied with vendettas or the dark and stormy days ahead.
We can stand to learn from them in that way; as in how squirrels balance work and play.
May all Beings be free from suffering and awaken to Planetary and Universal Peace,

Navigating Universal Flight Patterns With Hummingbird
If there is any creature created by Great Spirit that embodies the vibration of joy and light, it’s Hummingbird.
These spirited winged creatures dazzle us like a trans-dimensional craft might.
Remember, there is no fear when no fear is present.
During these sacred encounters, the hum of their wings when hovering reflects effective movement between the physical 3D and spirit realms.
Keep in mind there is an infinitely abundant amount of help bursting at the seams in the spirit realm, if only we ask and allow for ourselves to receive!
Incredibly, the ability to fly in any direction; changing directions spontaneously and instantaneously is nothing short of jaw dropping when watching hummingbirds work their magic.
Is anyone else out there inspired at Hummingbird’s power that such a small creature carries in its stature.
Do you remember the old creation spiritual truth that in the beginning, there was sound?
Meditation on Hummingbird awakens a vibrational shift when humming along.
When life gets heavy, take notes from Hummingbird about how to fly into zones of consciousness that reflect the sweetness of life through a felt sense of joyful lightness.
I’ve been making friends with a family of hummingbirds at our home in the backyard.
Like a trans-dimensional craft powering up, the feeling I get is being winked at by them in a lovingly playful way.
What’s in it for me? A New World if you can take it.
It does feel like the grief and dirge of everyday tragedy is transformed into the light; breathing in the air of levity and awakening an experience of being kissed by bliss.
If Hummingbird flies into your energy field, could it be that a past loved one’s spirit checking in on you?
May All Beings Be Free From Suffering And Experience Joy And Light In Their Consciousness,
Ari
Encounters With Butterfly Magic
Energetically, butterfly supports carrying a playful, light-hearted sense of detachment during our everyday doings.
Isn’t it mind boggling to watch their apparent labor of love by constantly flitting about and sewing the seeds of love?
And yet, Butterfly consciousness holds up a mirror to awaken a real felt sense perceptible experience of levity embodying joy and light.
I watched a butterfly do this the other day…flying around tirelessly, landing on flowers, taking off and not appearing to have a concern in the world about the seemingly endless amount of work to be done or the uncertainty of what might come next on the endless honey-do list.
As I watched in awe, I experienced a shift as my own vibe lightened up.
Seeing them doing their thing invites Socratic self-reflective questions about where we might be landing on the map of consciousness at this moment in time.
Are you in the egg stage of an idea (beginning), the larva stage (manifestation), the cocoon stage (program development) and/or the final stage (transformation)?
Butterfly breathes in an air of creativity to get the juices flowing.
During times of more sunlight and warmer temperatures, movement out in Nature floats to the natural rhythm of Butterly magic.
May this experience give pause to an allowing for gentle growth that is sweet like the fragrant scent of flowers.
May All Beings Awaken To Planetary And Universal Peace,
Ari
Podcast Episode: Awakening A Felt Sense Of Wizardry With Blue Jay As A Spirit Guide
Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the blue jays are spirit guides and the curriculum runs from inner wizardry to planetary consciousness, which honestly sounds like the most interesting school district on Earth.
Mara: Today we’re covering territory from Ari Joshua Bouse — one post that moves between personal spiritual practice and some very large questions about power, disclosure, and what it means to wake up in this particular moment.
Pip: Let’s start with the blue jay.
Awakening A Felt Sense Of Wizardry With Blue Jay As A Spirit Guide
Mara: The post opens with a striking tension: the gap between how advanced our technology has become and how spiritually underdeveloped we remain as a species — and what it costs us to ignore that gap.
Pip: The post puts it plainly: “energy is energy — it’s what we do with it that counts.” That line is doing a lot of work, sitting right next to a discussion of weaponized technology, governmental coverups, and the demonization of whistleblowers.
Mara: The upshot is that the same human capacity that built atomic weapons could be redirected. The post isn’t just making a spiritual argument — it’s making a political one about who benefits from keeping people spiritually asleep.
Pip: And the Blue Jay enters here not as a cute woodland mascot but as a specific kind of medicine — a crow’s-eye view, the post calls it, that helps people access what it describes as their “true inner wizardry.”
Mara: There’s a real distinction being drawn between spiritual pretenders and genuine mastery. The post asks directly: “Would you rather be a pretender to the throne or a true master?” That question anchors everything else.
Pip: The Wizard of Oz reference lands harder than you’d expect — the man behind the curtain isn’t just a metaphor for self-deception, it’s a stand-in for the Military-Industrial Complex specifically.
Mara: The post connects that to a broader argument about consciousness and cooperation. It closes with a vision where free clean energy ends wars and famine, where universal healthcare and public education are treated as rights, and where the ET presence — framed as spiritually evolved and non-threatening — is part of that larger awakening.
Pip: So the Blue Jay is the entry point, but the destination is Unity Consciousness and a co-creative New Earth. That’s quite a flight path for one bird.
Mara: The post frames it as a personal and collective process both — the Blue Jay within, as it puts it, reveals how to use power “properly and effectively.” Inner work and systemic transformation aren’t separate projects here.
Pip: Which leaves the real question sitting with the listener: what does it actually feel like to start?
Mara: The thread running through all of this is that awakening isn’t passive — it’s a practice with real political stakes.
Pip: Next time, more from Classroom Mothership Earth — wherever the curriculum takes us.
Awakening A Felt Sense Of Wizardry With Blue Jay As A Spirit Guide

A growing body of humans are awakening to the reality of the sickening rise of religious extremism, fascist thinking and the seductive underbelly behind the secrecy of the global cabal.
Likewise, our technology has far exceeded the spiritually evolved state of consciousness that we are capable of and need to awaken. As the old saying goes, energy is energy…it’s what we do with it that counts.
We all know there’s a lot of fake news out there; including the dog and pony show about ET disclosure, illegal private corporations and governmental coverups, and the spending our tax dollars illegally and without reserve. Without skipping a beat, this provocatively abusive and deeply engrained behavioral patterns are always cited under the guise of National Security.
As usual, whistleblowers who are trying to expose systemic injustices are being demonized instead of being encouraged and protected for telling the truth. It’s a dangerously developmentally delayed system, where wisdom needs to be seen and heard.
Otherwise, we can all use our imaginations to envision the catastrophic consequences of reinforcing this old paradigm.
But as we trek forward, remember that the powers that be are terrified of the spiritual powers that our meta human potential embodies. When we change the way we look at ourselves within the context of the 3D realm around us, the world around us literally changes before our eyes.
Enter the wise spirited guidance of working with Blue Jay energy medicine in the positive.
Would you rather be a pretender to the throne or a true master?
You already know what the hidden hand of the man behind the curtain is banking on, if you’ll pardon the Wizard of Oz & Military-Industrial Complex pun. Why do you think Hollywood invests billions on romancing an establishment of gifted pretenders?
Meditation on the energy of Blue Jay give us a Crow’s view of feathering the embers of our true inner wizardry. Our healers, guides, teachers and coaches are valuable resources to us as helpers along our way.
But at the end of the day, the Blue Jay within facilitates the process of getting in touch with a deeper and higher part of our souls that reveals how to use our power properly and effectively.
Our modern world showcases many dabbling spiritual pretenders out there that front being wise gurus. Of course the Empire’s Imperial friends in Congress prefer to go unexamined by keeping us distracted with handsomely paid experts hustling the god of opinion. But don’t be fooled by the man behind the curtain.
Geopolitically, This current criminal paradigm peddles the idea that We The People aka the rascal multitude are children that should be seen but not heard. There is great fear, particularly among our leaders, that the people have all kinds of crazy leveling impulses to “Form A Perfect Union”. Fear is the trump card, if you’ll pardon political pun.
The elitism and accompanying arrogance that flies within this energy field feels entitled to control the public mind behind closed doors. Because our friends at the top of the food chain are as indoctrinated as anyone. It’s hard to feel motivated to tune your frequency to a deeper and higher tune when you’ve got access to unlimited funds, coupled with entourage of really smart people doing your dirty work for you. Who payin’ you?
While “appetite comes with eating”, does this kind of hierarchical, patriarchal and linear thinking really reflect best business practice? Of course, it’s hard to prove otherwise to the movers and shakers of the highly lucrative and a slickly well oiled machine.
But the masterful illusion that the “ends justify the means” is merely a smokescreen. It’s a put on, vis a vis a false flag coverup to true wizardry of a budding and co-creative New Earth that is peacefully in alignment with Planetary and Universal Consciousness.
The Crow’s view of Blue Jay’s perch reveals that a mysterious and magical everyday abundance is available to all of us because there is enough and we can all win. We can experience living harmoniously on our Planet and beyond. The spiritually evolved ETs that are in alignment with God Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness are here to support us and are not a threat.
Looking back, after we detonated the atomic bomb; we certainly got the ETs heightened attention. Keep in mind, they could have wiped us out immediately. If they wanted to take us over, they could have done it long before that. Game over.
As if shooting them down with reversed engineered technology that humans have secretly weaponized weren’t enough; capturing, torturing, abusing them in secret underground facilities, and then proliferating disgusting black opt programs that make it look like alien abductions, cattle mutilations, etc. weren’t enough. We then have disrupted their way of life (as well as ours) by creating and detonating these criminally insane weapons of mass destruction.
I am reminded of a wise psychologist that once said, “there’s more than one reality . . . (and) denial is a primitive but powerful defense mechanism. And it ain’t just a river in Egypt either, if I might add.
Fear is a tired old way of motivating people to stay complacent and keep the blinders on to maintain the status quo. It’s time for this stale mental box of compartmentalized thinking to be released and let go of, like the back peddled, fake weather balloon media demonstration that fronted as the Roswell crash in 1947.
When you want to sell the public on war mongering, you create an enemy that needs to be dehumanized. Of course the rise of armageddon fanatical thinking is happening now because the dominant dinosaurs in power are terrified of losing their grip.
But as we all stand up to this tyranny with courage, the noose of their grip will fade into the ghosts of yesteryear.
Wars, famine and poverty will end on this planet once we have free clean energy. When humanity awakens to a more cooperative cultivation and sharing of resources (like those at the top do with each other), then the disastrous idea of maximum economic profit is gone with the wind. Moreover, the devilish fighting over resources fades into an infinitely sealed black hole in the Universe for a light mulching composted form of transformation.
Universal health care is a right. Everyone should have equal access to clean air, drinking water and safely habitable shelter. Free public access to quality education is the hallmark of a free society that values “fairness, honesty and integrity”, like Grandfather would say.
During this process of systemic transformation, holding democratic principles in our awareness is a challenge and an opportunity. Being less disposable and more mindful of our daily consumption helps us awaken to Unity Consciousness and celebrate our diverse expression of Great Spirit. We are all cut from the same cloth.
In this writers experience, a real felt sense encounter with an ET or any Being in alignment with a spiritually evolved state of consciousness; humans included…stir something on the inside, and reveals another way of life that is worth supporting and expanding exponentially.
For this reason, role models like Lord Buddha and Lord Christ show us how to awaken our own Lordship and access the Kingdom of Heaven within.
May all Beings be free from suffering, and awaken to Joy and Light within our Collective Consciousness,
Ari
Podcast Episode: Raising Kids, Raising Ourselves: Something To Chew On For Trusting Adult Role Models And The Teens In Their Lives
Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the curriculum includes teenagers, trauma, and the quiet radical act of taking care of yourself.
Mara: Today we’re drawing on Ari Joshua Bouse’s writing on the relationship between adult role models and the teens in their lives — the neuroscience, the self-care, the community scaffolding that holds it all together.
Pip: Let’s start with what it actually takes to show up for a teenager.
Raising Kids, Raising Ourselves
Mara: This piece opens with a question that sits underneath the whole thing: what does it mean to be a trustworthy adult in a teenager’s life, and what do adults need to do for themselves before they can be that?
Pip: The post anchors that question in something personal — a grandmother raising five teenagers through the turbulent sixties, holding the household together through poverty and trauma, without a roadmap. And from that comes a line that reframes the whole adult role: “it is incumbent on we parents, caregivers, teachers, coaches and mentors to be good role models of those coping skills and strategies.”
Mara: So the upshot is that modeling isn’t a bonus feature of good parenting — it’s the mechanism. If adults want teens to build resilience, regulate their emotions, practice mindfulness, the adults have to be doing that work visibly, in front of them.
Pip: Which is where self-care stops sounding like a spa weekend and starts sounding like a professional obligation.
Mara: Exactly — and the post is direct about the stakes. A teen acting out doesn’t just affect the teen. It stresses the whole family system, which means the adults’ mental health is part of the equation too. The recommendation is concrete: talk to your primary care doctor, consider a family therapist, treat your own maintenance the way you’d treat a car’s oil change.
Pip: That analogy does a lot of heavy lifting for something you’d find on a bumper sticker.
Mara: It lands, though. The post also describes the school-side infrastructure that supports this — a multidisciplinary team including principals, counselors, a school resource officer, a social worker, and a nurse, working from a trauma-informed and restorative justice lens. The point being that the village is real and already partly built.
Pip: And the post is clear that the village doesn’t replace parental authority — it supports it. Youth empowerment means teens having a voice, not teens running the household.
Mara: Right. The post closes on neuroscience: teens are actually at a uniquely receptive stage for mindfulness practice because of where their brains are developmentally. The “upstairs brain” versus “downstairs brain” framing — prefrontal cortex versus amygdala — is the practical model for why co-regulation between adults and teens matters so much right now.
Pip: So the whole thing is really one argument: you can’t hand a teenager a coping skill you haven’t practiced yourself.
Mara: The thread running through all of this is that the adults and the kids are in the same developmental moment — just at different stages of it.
Pip: More to come from Classroom Mothership Earth. We’ll be back.
Podcast Episode: Staying Afloat with Duck as an Emotional Guide
Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the spirit guides show up before the alarm clock does, and honestly, same energy.
Mara: Today we’re covering work by Ari Joshua Bouse, and the territory is emotional navigation — how a spirit animal from the natural world becomes a practical tool for staying grounded when the larger world is burning.
Pip: Let’s start with Duck.
Staying Afloat with Duck as an Emotional Guide
Mara: The question this post is sitting with is a real one: how do we regulate our emotional lives when the noise outside keeps getting louder — eclipse seasons, political fires, the general churn of a world in transition?
Pip: The post sets up Duck not as a metaphor but as an active guide, and the framing is direct: “When we allow Duck’s Chi to paddle into our souls, we are given emotional comfort and protection. We are in our element with water and given assistance while floating in the astral and emotional realms.”
Mara: So the upshot is that Duck’s energy is practical, not decorative. It offers a specific set of tools — balance, adaptability, the ability to let things roll off your back when pressure builds.
Pip: And the pressure in this post is not abstract. There is a pointed aside about the military-industrial complex that could benefit from some Duck-based curriculum. Which, fair.
Mara: The post doesn’t stay in the personal for long. It moves outward — to the way media keeps us locked in ego-centered debate, to the way capitalism and socialism get framed as opposites when they may be two faces of the same structure. The argument is that the same emotional suppression happening inside individuals is mirrored in how societies organize themselves.
Pip: Right — the anxious mind that sleepwalks through its own life and the political system running on distraction are described as the same pattern at different scales.
Mara: The post puts it plainly: “When we are identified with our minds, an endless sea of mental concepts and incessant accompanying emotional reactions are typically dominated by unrealized anxiety. And this hypnotic trance has a tendency to propagate a sleep walk through life.”
Pip: That is a real diagnosis, and Duck is offered as a genuine antidote — not a luxury, not a retreat. The post closes by naming what Duck actually delivers: balance, emotional comfort, adaptability, and a return to safe ground when things get heated.
Mara: And it costs nothing. The post is explicit that Duck is a free guide — no bill at the end of the consultation.
Pip: So the invitation is to treat the natural world as a working resource for emotional life, not just scenery.
Mara: And to notice that the inner work and the outer work are the same project.
Podcast Episode: Lammas, Eclipse Season, New Moon Shining In Leo & Swimming Into A Full Sturgeon Moon
Pip: August arrives with grain harvests, eclipses, and a moon named after a very large fish — which honestly sounds like the universe decided to pack a lot into one calendar page.
Mara: This episode draws on Ari Joshua Bouse’s recent posts for Classroom Mothership Earth, covering the seasonal and astrological energies of August — Lammas, eclipse season, Leo’s New Moon, and the Full Sturgeon Moon in Pisces. Let’s start with the whole sweep of what August is actually asking of us.
Lammas, Eclipse Season, and the Moons of August
Pip: August opens with Lammas, a harvest midpoint honored by ancestors in the Northern Hemisphere, and then barely pauses before stacking two eclipses, a New Moon in Leo, and a Full Moon in Pisces into the same calendar month. The question the post is really sitting with is: how do you move through that much cosmic pressure without white-knuckling it?
Mara: The post opens with a Gandhi epigraph that sets the whole tone — “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. We need not wait to see what others do.”
Pip: That framing matters because the post isn’t treating eclipses as things that happen to you. It’s treating them as invitations — specifically, chances to release what it calls the heavy luggage passed down by ancestors, so you can become the change you want to see.
Mara: The post describes eclipse seasons as “major cosmic reset periods that trigger rapid personal growth and sudden life changes,” and it’s careful to add that there’s nothing superstitious about that framing. The language is more about being guided than being controlled.
Pip: And then the Leo New Moon on August 12th arrives via a Total Solar Eclipse. The post calls new moons during eclipses “new moons on steroids” — amplifying new beginnings, identity shifts, sudden breakthroughs.
Mara: Leo’s energy, the post notes, thrives on visibility and praise, but the more interesting moment is when the spotlight finds you and you still feel at a loss. The post is honest that feedback, not just admiration, is what actually fuels creativity and confidence.
Mara: Then August closes with a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on the 28th, illuminating the Full Sturgeon Moon. Sturgeons can live over a century, grow to twenty feet, and weigh nearly a ton — the post uses that resilience directly as a meditation on surviving challenging times, including what it calls the deeper waters of Climate Change.
Pip: The closing instruction is genuinely disarming: let go of the oars.
Mara: The thread running through all of this is that the season’s intensity — harvest, eclipse, release — is an invitation rather than a threat.
Pip: Let go of the oars, trust the sturgeon, and we’ll see what the next tide brings.
Lammas, Eclipse Season, New Moon Shining In Leo & Swimming Into A Full Sturgeon Moon At The Tail End Of August
“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change… We need not wait to see what others do.”
–Ghandi
August kicks off on the 1st with the Lammas, which our ancestors honored as a marker for the first grain harvest in the Northern Hemisphere. The Lammas celebrates the approximate mid-point of summer between the Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox, and gratitude for the bounty of food the earth provides.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it will be the Imbolc, or the approximate mid-point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. At this time, it’s as if the seeds underground are starting to think about waking up in their neck of the woods.
Wherever you are on the Planet, astrological eclipse seasons are major cosmic reset periods that trigger rapid personal growth and sudden life changes, which represent karmic past and spiritual identity.
Nothing to be superstitious about. Sometimes, especially during eclipses, it might feel like we are tempted by fate. During times like these, it can feel like we are being guided rather than in control of our destiny.
And yet, we can transform the heavy luggage that has been passed down to us by our ancestors by letting it go and giving it back . . . So that we can become the change we want to see in the world.
In much the same way as letting go of any dark edges of old selves, we can release and envelop old stories in the Mirror of the Mind meditations.
We can consciously work with the energies of eclipses that have the power to permanently close doors that no longer serve our spiritual evolution. Picture them sealed up in a black hole where they can transform into the light.
Eclipse season is a friendly universal reminder to nudge us back on the path of deeper and higher soul purposes. Their energies inspires us to let go of stagnant habits, emotional baggage, and limiting beliefs.
Furthermore, a Total Solar Eclipse on August 12th kicks off the final leg of 2026 seasonal eclipses by way of a New Moon in Leo. The energies of this New Moon are fuel injected by the Solar Eclipse. New Moons are always associated with new beginnings.
Keep in mind that new moons during eclipses are like new moons on steroids.
Moreover, these energies amplify radical new beginnings, light a spark of external changes, sudden breakthroughs, and unexpected shifts in identity. Talk about a Thunder Road, if you’ll pardon the Boss pun.
Leo’s energy loves the spotlight and thrives on feeling safe in moments that allows Leo to impress and receive praise and admiration from others. That’s a natural state for them.
But what about when the red carpet is rolled out, the spotlight shines brightly on your soul, and you are still feeling at a loss?
Like Leo, this writer can relate to having a hard time with criticisms.
If we can accept feedback however, we can use it for visibility, creativity, confidence, and self-expression. Deep meditation can be a good ally during this process.
And then on August 28th, a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces shines on a Full Sturgeon Moon. These energies trigger internal emotional releases, exposing hidden truths and serves as a catalyst to break toxic patterns or relationships.
Keep in mind that Full Moons during Lunar Eclipses are like Full Moons on steroids.
Like a sturgeon’s spiritual significance, we can awaken the power of resiliency by trusting the flow of life, and surrender to the changing tides of universal oceanic waves.
Setting aside time for non-linear, non-localized and non-productivity is truly important, especially during intense energies. Some folks like to take a forrest bath, so to speak. Getting out in Nature, connecting with the animals and nature spirits is good energy medicine.
If you’re into rocks, it’s always a good idea to recharge them outside under the Full Moon cycle which lasts a few days before and after the actual Full Moon.
Do whatever you can to rest so that you can effectively integrate the energies of this last eclipse season of the year.
Remember that the aftershocks of the Eclipse season can be felt for quite some time.
Try not to push the river. Rather, let go of the oars and let the flow of the Universe guide you to wherever you need to go.
Pisces energy associated wiht this full moon breathes in sensitivity and perceptiveness of surroundings. The Fish love to go with the flow. Yet paradoxically, engaging in creative and spiritual forms, awakens imaginative waters. This lunar eclipse releases illusion, boundaries, and emotional truth.
Remember that Sturgeons are tough fish that can live over a century, grow up to 20 feet, and tip the scales by weighing nearly a ton. They are the largest freshwater fish, and have especially thrived in the American Great Lakes.
Their peak catch is traditionally in early August, which is in alignment with the harvest of plentiful seasonal crops that are on their way. As such, their energies reflect abundance that want to yield to your bounty.
Because of their natural ability to survive and thrive, meditation on the energy of sturgeon can help you build resilience in challenging times; particularly in preparation for darker days ahead, and also while diving into the deeper waters of Climate Change.
May all Beings be free from suffering, awaken to God Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, Unity Consciousness, Diversity Within Unity, Inner Peace and the Universal Pillars of Love and Truth.
Ari
