New Moon Report for September 17 – Pluto Direct

Pluto Direct

Monday, September 17, 10:07 pm PDT, Tuesday, September 18, 1:07 am EDT

Pluto’s shift to forward motion tends to expose the powerful urges and transformative forces of this potent planet. Facing our unexpressed desires and fears is rarely comfortable, but shining light on the truth is more desirable than hiding in the shadows of unconsciousness. Abuses of power as well as environmental and economic issues may surface now, challenging us to commit to making painful but necessary changes.

Wishing You A Wonderful & Blessed Wednesday, Dear Friends!

Today’s Affirmation for September 12

I take into my heart the gentle rhythms of nature performing its perennial dance of time.

Thought of the Day for September 12

‘Healthy feet can hear the very heart of the Holy Earth.”

Chief Sitting Bull

(1831 – 90)

Today’s Meditation for September 12

Reconnect with Nature

Time spent in nature is healing. It grounds us in our bodies and reaffirms our felt connection with the world around us. Spend time in green spaces as often as you can, whether in gardens, parks or open countryside. Engage each of your senses in the experience of being at one with nature. Notice the shapes and hues of the flowers, hear the singing of the birds, smell the earthy scents of the ground and the fragrance of flowers.

We can also reconnect to nature using the imagination. Close your eyes and visualize a meadow on a sunny afternoon. Notice different species of plants, birds, animals and insects. Watch the interactions between these species, and then focus on individual organisms, sensing the pace and rhythm of their lives. Finish by watching the grass grow, allowing your consciousness to resonate at the same pace.

The time of reaping is at hand. There is a feeling of completion infused into the atmosphere during the Last Quarter Moon.

This is not a good time for new beginnings, but rather a reflective period suited to evaluating how you have been using your time and what has been accomplished. Issues of authority may arise. This Moon phase supports taking responsibility for actively tying up the loose ends of projects that are already underway.
