Shhh, it’s September. I feel like I need to whisper because there has been so much negative press and information about September 2015 that we may be a little apprehensive about this month. And yet it’s one of the more powerful months of the year, with two eclipses, an Equinox, a lot of retrograde action, cycles ending and beginning, another rare Mars/Venus conjunction, and a turning point in the ascension cycle. This month we get to see the fruits of our efforts, make some new decisions, and re-illusion ourselves and the world. Are you ready for Super September? I hope so because it’s here, and you can make the best of this month’s change challenges by knowing what’s coming up. An ongoing reminder for September — It is impossible to be at peace in the present moment when you are at war with the past.

September starts off with some interesting dynamics. First, every planet is in some aspect of retrograde, either directly or by cycle. That says a lot about how we’re starting the 9th month of the year, where 9 is the number of completion. And we have the second of three Venus/Mars conjunctions on September 1. Even with Venus retrograde, it’s a rather rare and very potent combination, the movement from the human male/female to divine masculine/feminine. And  they connect three times in 2015, which is quite rare, the 3rd is on November 1, in Virgo, together with Jupiter.

The two most important cycles this month are Jupiter in Virgo, starting a new cycle from 2003, and Saturn grinding out the last degree of Scorpio, completing its cycle from December 2014 and 1982. Do you remember your 2015 new year’s intentions? You may want to get them out this month because now you can put them in action.

The Jupiter in Virgo cycle is important because it goes back to 1991 and then 2003, both important moments in this ascension cycle. 2003 was when Archangel Uriel first visited me and in 1991 I started channeling and acknowledging my intuition and spiritual gifts. What were you doing in 2003 and 1991? Were they some of the worst years of your life — 2003 was for me, it was the year I was broke, nearly homeless, and unemployed. I cried myself to sleep every night for 6 months, begging God to ‘take me home’  until I decided to take another approach. Then I got a job and created my free trip to France (which you can read about in my book, 30 Days to  Everyday Miracles).

Any time we have Jupiter in Virgo there is a spiritual awakening and the first two were rough, this one can be different. We’re so much more awake and aware now, so we can really align with and integrate this energy. No more ‘sissy spirituality’ or Martyred Healers, it’s empowered mastery time. What do you want to create in your life now as a fully integrated divine spiritual human?

Saturn leaves Scorpio on September 16, I think I will get the party hats out for that one. It has been a long, hard grind and not just for the past two years of Saturn in Scorpio. There is a particular kind of (misery) learning with Saturn in Scorpio and this is repeating cycle that goes back to 1917, 1950, and 1982. On September 16, when Saturn enters Sagittarius we end that cycle and get to apply its learning to our new paradigms. Don’t stop at being ‘glad it’s over’, take that next step to use what you have learned to do things differently now. We can’t change anything if we don’t make any changes.

Let’s talk about eclipses, which are super energized moon cycles, and we have two this month. We haven’t had any eclipses since March so these may be a wake up call. We’ll certainly feel the one on September 13th, which opposes Chiron, the Wounded Healer, exactly. Old wounds come up for review and release or repetition. This is also a good time for secrets to be revealed.  The eclipse degree, 20 Virgo, is where we will see the 3rd Venus/Mars conjunction and Jupiter on November 1, so pay attention to what happens here.  Whatever seems to be finished may come around again. The second eclipse is on September 28, at 4 Aries, which is close to the zero point, or beginning, of the zodiac. With the activity during this month’s final two weeks, energetic, social, and political, I think we’ll see some new beginnings happen.

The Equinox on September 23 is opposite the degree of the March 20 eclipse at 29 Pisces, bringing matters started at that time to resolution. Starting in October 2014 each new moon was at 0 degrees, with February 2015’s at 0 Pisces. Also in February 2015 we had the first Mars/Venus conjunction at 0 Aries, the beginning of the zodiac. This is one more area of healing for us, clearing the drama, trauma, chaos, and pain around our most difficult relationships. All of the energy of the past 9 months is now building up to a big crescendo. It’s time for the doors to open wide.

But we have a Mercury retrograde this month too, which, with all of the other retro action, seems like overkill to me. It’s in Libra and goes from 15 degrees back to 0, highlighting both eclipses in March and April this year. Have you noticed that everything this month is about repeating cycles? Libra is the sign of balance and anywhere we have been unbalanced, which includes not serving our needs, we will see it and have an opportunity to fix it by putting our needs first. This is a time to be self-ish, meaning taking care of ourselves. You can read my article on being ‘self-ish’ here.

The standard Mercury retro rules apply, leave extra time for travel, it isn’t a good idea to start new projects or buy big ticket items, read the details carefully before you sign, and expect things done under a Mercury retro to be re-done in some way after the retro is over. In this case, Mercury retro ends on October 8, and the shadow period ends October 25. You can still do things in a Mercury retro period but delays and upsets are more likely to happen now.

‘Having balance’ includes being out of alignment and out of integrity with ourselves, in every area. Are you angry about your past? Then you are out of balance in the present. Do you feel taken advantage of or used by others? Then you’re out of integrity with your needs and how you state them. Saying ‘no’ requires more courage than saying ‘yes’ at times, and sometimes we say ‘yes’ a lot because we don’t want to disappoint others. But if doing that makes you angry and upset, then you’re better off saying ‘no’ and letting them deal with their own consequences. And you’ll have a lot of opportunities in September to see where that applies, because with all of this retro action something is bound to come up.

If all of this back and forth makes your head spin, think of the karma wheel that turns around and around until someone decides they have been spinning long enough. ‘What goes around comes around’ and eventually it stops when the individual or collective wants to do something else. The time is ripe for change and we are supported by the energy in so many ways. But change happens when we decide to do something else, which is one step beyond realizing how unhappy we are with the current situation, and that one step is what takes us off of the karma wheel.

Our global rulers think that the week of September 23 is so important that they are meeting in several different venues to announce new global policies. They have been trying to do this for decades, the last such big announcement was in 1991 (Saturn in Scorpio) and that didn’t work. I don’t think that replacing Agenda 21 with Agenda 2030 is going to be any different, especially since we don’t want the 3D paradigms to continue and we have already disconnected from them on so many levels. While they won’t stop trying to force their illusions of greed, domination, and control on the world, we can operate beyond their radar by staying true to our desire for empowered, multi-dimensional, intentional living that promotes peace, joy, love, and compassion. That’s the world I want to live in and what I give my energetic consent to, anything else is a forgettable minor detail.

Many of the topics I have been addressing in the past few months come to bear in September. Energetic consent, energy boundaries, releasing ‘sacred cows‘, finding our own truth center, releasing the past so we can get clear on the present — we can’t have a foot in both worlds, past and present, and make any profound commitments to creating change for the future. September’s keywords are alignment and integration — what energy flows do we want to be in line with and how do we fit them into our lives? It may be time for some emotional and energetic housekeeping so we can make room for the changes and opportunities that are waiting for us to allow them into our realities. If love, joy, wealth, prosperity, abundance, and peace are knocking at your door, are you going to let them in?

We’re moving from the new age to the new earth, from light workers to light beacons, and from the density of destiny to the bright light of creation. Instead of wondering where to start, focus on the outcome you want to create to start the energy flow –  make it big, bold, and beautiful, reach for the stars and keep shining your light. Have a wonderful month.

Transitional *SUMMER/FALL* of 2015

June-Aug ~ Jupiter in LEO / Last: Aug 2002 – Aug 2003 ~
12-yr Cycle to Activate & Expand How You Express Your Truth & Tell Your Story
June-Sept ~ Saturn in SCORPIO / Last: Dec 1982 – Dec 1985 ~
28-yr Cycle to Improve & Fortify the Nutrient & Protection of Your SoulSelf
June-Oct ~ Venus in LEO + Rx / Last: June-Oct 2007 ~
8-yr Cycle to Realign Your Values, Priorities & Resources with Your Heart

In General ~ the Mercury Retro thru GEMINI suggests great support for pulling back where/when possible to really process the last 3-6 months. Mars & Venus are active throughout this time, though in very different ways. Mars will engage Saturn, Neptune & Chiron in the Mutable Signs of Gemini/Sag and Pisces, which suggests we have to do Virgo consciously to balance things out. Also, it means there is a lot of mental/emotional *processing* going on that needs grounding in the body to get the most/best out of the recent revelations.

Venus will engage the Nodes, Uranus & Pluto in the Cardinal Signs of Aries/Libra/Cancer/Capricorn. Venus in Cancer values protection, personal security & nourishment. This makes the social/collective activations very personal, so there are a lot of choices & decisions on the table that should be run through the *feeling* filter first (gut response). The choices/decisions innately right for you, will feel right fairly immediately & the retrograde will allow you to pause & cultivate a positive, effective response (for later).
Mercury in GEMINI ~ April 30th – July 8th

Retro: 5/18 – Direct: 6/11 ~ #2 of 3 Retro in Air Signs 2015

With the above Mars/Venus activations in mind for the first part of Mercury’s process, it would be prudent to know the Air Houses in your chart as they will be most affected this year and remember this is a 5-year process, so the last time Mercury did this was 2008: can you see any correlations to the current shifts in your thinking, consciousness and/or self-expression? Any correlations to your choices & decisions, then & now? in your relationships (public & private), then & now? Try not to work outward, engaging others just yet (ie, letters, conversations, worldly communications) but rather, use this time to inwardly review your own thoughts, ideas, concepts & perceptions of your Self & your world, make the inner connections, then consider the Story your life tells & edit.

SAG Full Moon (6/2) / GEMINI New Moon (6/16) ~ This lunation is continuing the work of various 2012Initiations. Think of this as the First Test of all that you birthed within and around you during the crossover of 2010-2013. What were you doing? Learning? Teaching? Healing? Remembering? And who were you doing it with? Who is still around and who cleared space for the people you have now? This is the final transformational piece of the *3 High Moons of Spring*: what have you learned in the last 3-6mos about who you are & what you want? and how you do feel vs how you want to feel? This Gemini/Sag lunation is also participating in all of the above with Mercury & Mars in Gemini plus Saturn in Sag, plus Neptune/Chiron in Pisces. It’s really time to make the connection between your thoughts & feelings, as well as all 6-Senses, and begin to practice aligning your desires & actions with your clear insights & gut instincts that guide & protect you throughout your life, you need only fortify the connection on a regular basis.
May/June 2015

There is a very specific *party* going on this May/June 2015, one we have every year with Sun + Mercury in Gemini, however, this year Mercury extends its stay and Mars, who can only come every 2-years, is there too, so it is much livelier & more spirited than usual! Said another way, the usual springtime infusion of new ideas & concepts of your Self and your life (that we get every year around Gemini time) has strong additional implications this year, and slightly counter-intuitive ones at that! Mercury Retro says it’s time to pull back and review EVERYTHING and Mars says it’s time to ACT on the ideas that have you fired up and full of clarity & purpose! Ughhh! What to do!?
Energies & Lessons ~ Gemini/Sag/Virgo/Pisces

My first recommendation is to check in with the Weekly Forecast which has details for each planetary interaction, and practical advice for navigating in general. Another thing to consider is the Sign *Energies & Lessons* which, at this time, have to do with what we think & believe, as well as how we express Self & communicate with Other (Gemini/Sag/Pisces). It’s all fairly intangible, having much more to do with feelings, ideas, thoughts, concepts & perceptions until you get to the one missing piece: Virgo, whose lesson is all about honoring natural timing and trusting the body, as well as its (many) *Systems & Processes* that support & protect your physical form. Can you see how what you feel, think & believe affects your health so directly?
Saturn in Sagittarius ~ 2015-2017

All of the above is the personal planets and thus affects those with Gemini/Sag/Virgo/Pisces in their charts, however, Saturn is coming to the Sag-party later this year and it is a social planet, that moves a lot slower (2-3 years in each sign) and affects larger groups of people at the same time. Saturn, the planet of our definitions, physical limitations & 3D/reality, is finishing up Scorpio work (June-Sept) but will re-enter Sag for a solid 2+ year renovation of our belief systems: do they support & protect you or put you in possible danger because they are incongruent with the reality you are currently living? So in addition to the many Initiations going on this Spring, Saturn is going to come in during the Fall to illuminate things from a higher perspective and push you to ground, contain & direct all that you’ve been ‘thinking’, ‘dreaming’ or ‘talking’ about for the last few months-to-the-last 28-years. All this influx of higher frequencies and higher consciousness since 2012 alone, not to mention, alllll the learning we’ve done since 1985-1988, must be rebirthed (redefined) and grounded into a workable belief system that supports & protects you, your body and your consciousness, in the here & now.

(Kelly-Quote from 2007 Venus audio: If you’re gonna redefine your reality, then be prepared to rebuild it too!)
Feel the *Liberation* from the Old Story

Your ideas & inspirations (Gemini) are a reflection of what you believe (Sag) to be possible, for you, others or the planet. When you are ready to experience life in a new way, often you need only ‘think’ it (and almost always when you ‘feel’ it) and the molecules start moving to facilitate that physical experience or manifestation. The more conscious awareness you give to directing your thoughts & feelings, trying things in a new way, learning along the way, and developing your own theories about how life really works (for you), then the more effective you become and living your physical reality can be safer & more comfortable, even lighter & brighter! Feel the *Liberation* from the Old Story, the things which are no longer true (if they ever were). Feel that release from any literal or figurative bondage, especially self-imposed mental/emotional prisons. Then, ground in your body and trust the evolved, emerging Truth … and prepare to tell the evolved, emerging Story! Saturn in Sag will help us all ground a Higher Truth and tell a more interesting Story over the next couple of years.
Creating a Foundation of Truth & Integrity

So, that’s Mars (and more Saturn than I had intended ; -)) Now for Venus! who is in Cancer, engaging the Nodes, Uranus & Pluto. This one is affecting my Cardinal Babies the most (Cancer/Capricorn/Aries/Libra). And where Mars may be working on which actions really express your personal Truth & Purpose, at this time, Venus is working on what will feed, support & protect you while you honor the inevitable changes that come during such monumental personal, social & collective shifts (like now). Right now ALL your *Fundamentals* have been affected and a radical realignment of ALL relationships (public & private) is underway. All of them have to be renegotiated & reestablished to support & protect Life! Resistance is optional. Change is mandatory. Choose what means the most to you, deep in your heart-of-hearts, and has endured to support you and begin there … building the NEW Base & Structure of your life, that supports & protects a foundation of Truth & Integrity for you, by your own definition.

Summer Activations ~ Another thing I look at when there is a *convergence* of energies & lessons (activated by planetary alignments) is the first & last of these activations. I can always find a theme emerging that we can follow to be more effective. In this case, the first one is Mercury/Saturn (5/3) and the last one is Sun/Mars (6/14). This gives us a 6-week window that starts with what we think about our current reality, then Mercury retrogrades (5/18 – 6/11) to review all those thoughts, ideas, stories etc, hopefully leading to some clarity & action steps by the Sun/Mars activation (6/14).

May/June supports the processing and making the (many) inner connections; June/July supports making choices & decisions based on self-preservation; July/Aug supports the grounding & protection going forward.
Summer Solstice ~ June 21, 2015

But I’m getting ahead of myself ; -)) Right now, we are heading toward Solstice 2015. Consider where you were, what you were doing & who you were with one year ago, Summer Solstice/June 2014. I was blessed to be with Shanta Gabriel on Mt. Shasta, Activating the Stargate of the Heart!

I had a powerful personal initiation on this sacred mountain that has taken the entire year just to begin to wrap my brain around what my heart & body experienced, as well as the new Path it put me on going forward! I have also heard from many of you, and my Power Circle Community in particular, reporting profound personal & professional shifts, rebirths & transformations over the last year specifically. (And if you haven’t chimed in lately, I’d love to hear from you!) This brings you to the next step in your journey!

Relevant Reflections:

The following 4 articles are extremely relevant to review at this time, as they are all active inJune 2015. I have included some brief reminders but please re-read them to get the full understanding of each activation. I send Infinite Blessings & Protection during this amazing time of transformation for one & all!

INITIATING NEW — 12-year Cycle ~ Jupiter in Leo ~ June 2014-June 2015 ~

The Fire of Your Authentic Heart (Uranus in Aries/Jupiter in Leo – Final Activation: 6.22.2015)

Jupiter (Education/Faith) ~trine~ Uranus (Awakening/Liberation): 9.25.2014 ~ 3/3 & 6/22.2015

Excerpt: This activation spans a year (June 2014 – June 2015) so pace yourself and pay attention to what comes up in Sept 2014 that is re-activated or revised in March 2015 to find its footing (roots), then gets its final activation in June 2015, right around Summer Solstice (wow!). Also unique to 2014-2015 is the Leo/Aries combination. As long as we maintain integrity, lead with the heart, be creative & authentic, remaining free & independent becomes much easier. However, if you are struggling with self-esteem/self-worth issues, as well as being independent and capable of defining who you are/what you want, then this is the year to face your issues head-on and make some real progress. Just keep in mind that whatever these energies trigger for you, is really bringing these issues/relationships into the light to be transmuted & purified with this Fire. It’s going to first illuminate the excess & non-essential, then melt it away to reveal your true beauty & innate value. Have Faith! Believe in your Self! Know that you are here for a reason and while your Path is unique for you, we are all sharing this journey of self-discovery & evolution of our planet. Activations (which I can help you with, just reach out) will be personal, social & collective and during this year or so, and we will continue to have to create containers for this *Fire* to burn safely & productively. Use this potent, creative *Fire* to connect to Your Authentic Heart, Deepest Passion & True Purpose!

INITIATING NEW — 28-year Cycle ~ Saturn in Scorpio ~ June-Sept 2015 ~ Final Degrees
Stabilize, Strengthen & Fortify Your Soul

Some things to consider during Saturn in Scorpio …

~ Saturn Endurance & Scorpio Power: Holding Out/Holding On Overlong
~ Death to Form / Birth to Form ~ Feeling ~ Timing ~ Let Die ~ Give Birth
~ Find/Reclaim/Activate *LOST* (or deeply buried) aspect of True SoulSelf
~ Scorpio: Undercover vs. Deceitfulness ~ the difference is in the vibratory frequency
~ Transformation Gets Literal ~ Dark Night of the Soul for some / Utter Liberation for Others
~ Inner Strength, Integrity & Soul ~ Ego/Personality Take a Back-Seat & Get Infused with Soul
~ Customized *TESTS* around Power, Money, Sex, Death, Rebirth, Transformation & Letting Go
~ To Change the External, You Must Change the Internal First (then External changes automatically)
~ Saturn Dedication to Scorpio Soul ~ Honoring the Power & Nature of the Life/Death/Life Cycle on Earth

SHADOW: Postponing ~ Avoidance ~ Delay/Denial ~ Controlling ~ Extremes

My focus, as many of you know, is more of a shamanic active practice where I/we consciously work with the available energies, alignments and planetary cycles. When you consciously co-create, often through prayer & ceremony, with the energies, ancestors & guides available at the time, you create space for magic & synchronicity to take place in a customized way for you, that also benefits the collective. The alignments Saturn creates when in contact with other planets, especially the *Personal* Planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus & Mars), are what I refer to as *Activations* and are unique, potent & natural timings to support your current intentions. In addition to the contact with the Personal Planets, Saturn will also make rare connections with the North Node, Jupiter, Pluto, Neptune & Chiron.

Saturn in Scorpio will touch the following during 2012-2015:

Sun ~ Your Identity / External Drives …
Moon ~ Your Personal / Internal Drives …
Mercury ~ Your Self-Expression / Your Voice …
Venus ~ Your Values / Love & Money …
Mars ~ Your Energy / Passion & Purpose …
Jupiter ~ Your Philosophies / Belief System …
Saturn ~ Your Discipline / Dedication …
Chiron ~ Your Healing / Education …
Neptune ~ Your Faith / Dreams …
Pluto ~ Your Power / Underworld …
North Node ~ Current Life Path & General Direction …
South Node ~ Past Life Path & Past Direction …

Saturn in Scorpio ~ *ISSUES* being brought in to the Light at this time are:

Your Concept of Time
Your Definition of Reality
Choices & Decisions to Make
Reality Check on ALL Levels
Your Karma ~ Results of Your Actions (or inaction)
Organization of Your Life and Environment ~ ORDER
The Aspects of Your Structure/Foundation that are SOLID
The Aspects of Your Structure/Foundation that are WEAK & UNSTABLE
Your Inner Authority ~ Discernment (wise judgment) and Trusting your Self

Saturn in Scorpio ~ *QUESTIONS* to Contemplate at this time are:

How have you done with the little tests of the last 6mo?
How have your “systems” been improved? within and without?
Have you considered any alternate routes to your chosen goals?
How solid is your personal foundation? professional foundation?
Have you given any/much time to your plan/strategy for upcoming 2yrs?
How do you swing from extremes of holding on? and embracing change?
How do you take responsibility for who you are? where you are? what you create?

When/how do you block change from unfolding within you? your life? your environment?
How do you define your reality? how do you plan to *LIVE* that (embody) going forward?
What have you NOT thought of yet? (options) Where can you be more creative with your solutions?
