Welcome Back To School & Back To Business…Awakening Squirrelly Discernment Between Going Nuts, Forgotten Acorns & Powering Up For The Forthcoming Equinoxes

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,

Ari

Gentle Guidance with Loving Deer

A Full Cold Moon rests deeply within our bones
Sitting along the horizon more than other Full Moons today
Highlighting shorter days and longer nights

What are you thankful for and what do you need to release and let go of?

May Deer’s energetic medicinal teachings of grace, loveliness and sensitivity
Gently guide us through open fields of ceremonial tribal rituals

Do you need more beauty in your life?

Take in a deep breath of cold wind
and then exhale a warm and caring summer breeze

Remember when Buddha first taught in a deer park?

Tis the season for Divine communion and venturing out into new adventures
Blend in like Deer by never following the same trail twice
Good medicine for plasticity of the mind
May your sacred space lead you to new frontiers every time you meditate

Do you need to develop self-discipline, consistency and concentration?

We are embarking toward peaking darkness
Climaxing on forthcoming Winter Solstice

Come on down into our souls ladies and gentlemen
while listening to attached emotions of those in your orbit
Inspiration to develop keen hearing and discernment
through heightened sense of smell

Are you paying attention to your inner thoughts and perceptions?

Meditation on an anything is possible mantra is an optimistic thought
Great Spirit is calling us from the top of Sacred Mountain
Use our power of being soft and gentle like water to inundate
even the archetypal monster of fear that wants to block us from
our Divine crystalline souls

Today’s monster of fear includes systemically connected
climate catastrophe, rural poverty,
starvation and food and water wars among other looming disasters
But so are the solutions to weather these demons
in sustainable ways that are in alignment with Nature

Are you or others trying to force things?

Make love not war with the devilish fashion of negative thinking
Strike a chord of unconditional love rather than
getting strung-out on attachments that aren’t music to our ears

Are you being too critical and uncaring of yourself?

Remember to stick to the facts
When speaking your truth
But please be careful not careless with your whispers
Sometimes, silence is a more powerful form of intimate communication

Do you need to cultivate more empathy, gentleness or compassion for others?

Movers and shakers must compassionately enact the political will to
tip the scale in the right direction toward
a more effective transition into a New Age and Paradigm
This process awakens when elected officials serve the overwhelming majority by
promoting the “general welfare” of our global tribe

Nobody is inferior or superior to another
We are all cut from the same cloth
Merely different shades and statures on an unfolding tapestry

Our Mother is getting hotter and it is time to cool it now yo

At the end of the day . . .
Regardless of classification
We are all The Color of Water

See you further on up the trails,

Ari
