It Takes Two To Tango

Greetings or Konnichiwa from beautiful Japan. Kathryn and I are here throughout October teaching 3 Bodywork workshops, and facilitating 2 Spiritual Retreats. During our stay, we visit Tokyo, Hamamatsu and Kyoto (near Osaka) and Lake Biwako, Tateshina and Kiso in the autumn colored mountains of central Japan.

Over the past few days, and continuing through mid-October, an unusual energetic dynamic is astrologically active: 4 pairs of planetary energies occurring simultaneously. While the coming together of two planetary energies is not unusual in astrological circles, 4 potent pairs occurring at the same time is unusual, warranting further examination. Here's the chart for October 3:

The Coming Full Moons of Mastery and Advanced Learning

"The happiness of a person in this life does not consist in the absence, but in the mastery of their passions." Alfred Lord Tennyson, English poet (1809-92)

"Gather in your resources, rally all your faculties, marshal all your energies, focus all your capacities upon mastery of at least one field of endeavor." John Haggai, Filmmaker (1917-2006)

The recent Full Moon on the Equinox positioned at the very beginning degree of Aries. The next Full Moon (Aries again) on October 22nd, and the 5 subsequent Full Moons, each position at the very end degree of an astrological sign. The second Aries Full Moon signals a return to a more familiar lunar astrological cycle where the New Moon in an astrological sign occurs before the Full Moon in the opposite sign.

The late 20 degree placements are indicators of mastery and advanced learning. This 6 month run of Full Moons in high degree placements offers you the opportunity to explore the depths of your core knowingness and talents. More on the video.

Autumn Equinox: Resetting the Balance of Power

"Good ideas alter the power balance in relationships, that is why good ideas are always initially resisted...." Hugh Macleod, Consultant

Equal day, equal night. Equinox is a time of balance as the Sun now moves into the Zodiac sign of Libra on September 22 at 5:09 pm HST, 8:09 pm on the West Coast, 3:09 AM on the 23rd, Universal Time. 6 hours later at 11:17 pm HST, the harvest Full Moon occurs. Here's the Equinox chart:

Libra is a Cardinal sign and the first sign of Fall in the northern hemisphere.  The cardinal Zodiac signs each mark the beginning of a new season, Aries Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. As the Sun first enters the cardinal signs during equinox and solstice season it adds extra fuel to the cosmic collective. Because Pluto is now in early degrees Capricorn squaring serious Saturn in early Libra, the Sun provides extra fuel to this intense duo for empowering and restructuring relationships of all kinds.
