Hold on to your hats gang, certainly going to be an interesting month…. a solar and lunar eclipse, a change of season and a Mercury in Retrograde. We can definitely expect the unexpected and will probably be thrown many curve balls. If you have been doing your work this year (coming into your power- standing and owning your truth- taking the reins of your life) you will find that no matter what you experience that seems beyond your control, you will remain, clear, aware, non reactive and totally connected to your spirit to guide you through.

This would be a global 8 month in an 8 year— (9 month + 2+0+1+5 year = 17 =8) We will have lots of opportunities this month to find our power in every moment, every situation, every challenge. Your question– Where is my power in this moment? situation? etc should be a first response to everything. Your power may be just to remain calm and non reactive. it may be not to judge or condemn. It may be to accept. It may be to speak up or take an action. It may be to sit still. You will only know where your power is when you tune into the moment. And of course, what will prompt this, is a feeling a powerlessness, vulnerability, confusion and/or chaos. Remember that your power is always in your ability to tune in to your spirit, to go inside, to allow yourself to be guided and to know you are always loved and protected.

I know this alert may trigger some worry- but don’t go there–major energy leak and totally pulls you out of your power. The other piece may be to try and control things– another major energy leak and often futile. Try and take this alert with a a sense of adventure that whatever transpires should and could inspire you to find golden nuggets of your spirit– ones that you did not even know existed. One really good thing is that Venus goes direct as of 9/6 and any delays regarding finances or troubles in relationships will finally resolve. It is like any monies you are waiting on will come out of the “pending file” and into your bank account. Pheww!

Something else– what shows up in the fall– especially in October– is a pre curser to what you will be living in in the following year. So whatever begins then is a heads up to the energy and experiences of 2016. I will be taking my 17 year old to see San Diego state in October….. hmmm may be more visits next year???

Although we often connect Mercury in Retrograde with travel and technology delays and communication snafus (you can expect that there will be lots of misspelled words in my emails) remember too that the Mercury in Retrograde energy gives us a time to reflect, renew, rediscover, review, redo and revisit. Maybe you will reflect on certain choices you made and find your power in letting go of any regret or resentment. Maybe you will renew a relationship or rediscover the joy in a current one. Maybe you will review your progress in a certain area of your life this year and make conscious choices that allow you to feel like you are in your power in a deeper way. Maybe you will redo your bedroom, your hair do, your trip to Europe. And most definitely, we will revisit any issue, relationship, situation, belief or emotion that is not yet completely in peace or balance. It’s all good and we will come out of this month with a tremendous sense of personal empowerment, peace and clarity. Next month is the 9 month of completion in this “8” global year and we will finish up anything that holds us back from standing in our truth and in our authenticity.

The fall is always the time where we “reap what we have sown” and separate the wheat from the chafe….. what are you reaping now asa consequence of your actions, non actions and/or choices throughout this year ( lifetime)? What is of value to you and what needs to be discarded? These are the things that become apparent in the next few months. Let your Spirit lead and decide.

Peace Ro
