Dec 21 -- Winter Solstice

We’re at a tipping point.
In the northern hemisphere, it’s the Winter Solstice - the longest night of the year, and the end point of the karmic cycle of darkness.

This is the beginning of , an auspicious season of spiritual growth when light begins to return to the earth. The days will soon lengthen, grow brighter and life will rise up again.💥

It’s said that the sun dies and is reborn on each Winter Solstice, and so all endings and beginnings are made auspicious at this time.

For this reason, the great sage, Bhishma, prolonged his final breath in order to die on this sacred night.

What are you ready to let go of now? There’s a new seed of life just beginning to grow, and it’s the perfect time to start afresh.

September Full Moon in Pisces: September 20 2021

The September Full Moon in Pisces Lures Us to into Finding an Escape from our Personal Pressures

Full Moons bring turning points, as well as closures and completion. The September Full Moon in Pisces delivers all of these themes — and quite likely on a pronounced note. It’s taking place right before a change of seasons. Full Moons that coincide with seasonal shifts tend to be more dramatic. Not to mention that Pisces likes to feel the feels and a matter close to our heart gets stirred up.

Pressure surrounds us from all angles. Decisions, weighing both feeling and fact equally, will now need to happen. This is a fact vs. fairytale kind of Full Moon story.

In order to know how we’ll make these decisions, we’ll need to look at the star player of this September Full Moon—Pisces. It’s a sign that hates pressure. Being honest about that Pisces fact is important since she steals this September Full Moon show. With the Moon swimming through her waves and best friend Neptune dancing alongside a need to run away from any sign of pressure will come on strong.

Pisces and Neptune go together like spaghetti and meatballs. They work together and create a magical mystical type of energy. It’s the kind of feel that helps us float out of the chaos and into a place of surrealism. Just like Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother changed her reality with the wave of a wand – this Full Moon can do the same. The caveat, of course, is that the clock will eventually strike midnight.

Try not to get too carried away with the enchantment that’ll surround this Full Moon. It’s going to be important to find a way to ground yourself—and not get carried away in unrealistic expectations. Emotional energy will be high because Pisces and Neptune together can get way too wrapped up in their emotions. Some of us may feel like the waves of the sea are taking over. While there are those that can enjoy the topsy turviness of the waves – others can get engulfed in them.

If you have no idea what to do, do nothing. Making an emotional decision may not be the best course of action at this time. Waiting this period out could prove beneficial vs. getting caught up in the moment.

Mars Factor
Mars, currently in peaceful & compromising Libra, will also have a lot to say at this time. He will be supported by wise, task-master Saturn in Aquarius helping us discern the right decision to make. The action taken will be flavored with innovation (Aquarius) peace and justice (Libra).

Final Moments Before Mercury Retrograde
This September Pisces Full Moon takes place in the final moments that lead up to the last Mercury Retrograde of 2021. Whatever decision comes out of this leads to redos and revisions. Diversions are about to now begin happening. People from the past may need to show back up too. The places we originally wanted to go are changing once again. Even though it may not feel like it now, an opportunity will be born out of making some revision to the original plan!

December 31 — Is this the part where we eulogize 2020? What an incomparable year. Then again, we knew 2020 was going to be A Year. How could it not be with a rare and historic Saturn-Pluto conjunction that was not unlike a wrecking ball. (I tried to warn you all ....)

Today's Leo Moon may have us in a festive mood (Leo loves a party), but it's also digging into the deep feels as we take stock of all we've been through in the last twelve months.

In 2021 we have to start to build something very new.

Happy New Year. Thank you for your continued support. 2002 was a huge year of growth for me. AndI look forward to further growth with you all.

All my gratitude,

Katie

The Blue Moon coming on October 31st will bring with it a shift of energy and great change. Be ready for it. There will be a breakthrough, call it a gift from the Universe where things for a while afterwards will start to go right for you. Enjoy it. A Blue Moon occurs when there are two Full Moons in the same month. This will be the second Full Moon in October. A very rare Blue Moon as it will occur on Samhain/Halloween night.

I still have crazy moments when my mind shoots off on a mad rant, but generally my mind is much quieter and more peaceful than it used to be. Here's why.

No matter how you feel about it, the fact is that at some point or another we are all going to face our own mortality. In the dharma tradition, we try to remember this simple truth for a few moments each day, once a month on the New Moon, and once a year for a fortnight during the sacred time known....
