Weekly Forecast: September 22 – 28, 2024, Kelly M. Beard, 23 September 2024

9/22  ::  Fall Equinox:

Harvest Time ~ Rhythm is a beautiful thing! Taking some time at the turn of each Season notifies the Universe that you are ready, willing and able to co-create with Mother Earth & Father Sky. Fall Equinox is the time of year to bring all your projects to a close, finish whatever you can and start looking toward new projects. Balance & Integrate what is working and release the rest. If you willingly (and lovingly) release that which is not working, the next Season will go a lot smoother when you go to truly close the year in preparation for a new Solar year. Harvest is about assessing & gathering all that you’ve created for the year, and ultimately, reaping the rewards of all your hard work and labor. Some of your *Harvest* will be tangible, creative projects that can & will bear fruit now that they are complete, stable or in place … and some of your *Harvest* will be intangible, in that, you have further cultivated your own Being over the last year and now you (and others) can benefit from your personal integration, individual gifts & evolved consciousness. Align with your Higher Self & expand your goals for the coming season – think bigger! Fall Equinox is a time of balance, a time of balance between Light & Shadow and takes us from movement out in the world, to more inner, “work with what you’ve got” energy, using your resources & creations to build on & expand, primarily behind the scenes in preparation for Spring Initiation, 6-months from now. Libra is the Sign of the Season and is Ruled by Venus, which reminds us that *ALL Life* is inextricably connected. Any imbalances affect all life (eventually). As living, conscious Beings, we strive for balance in all that we think, feel, say and do. You can access your inner-Libra and re-center, so that you are more effective in your Being-ness and more useful to Life in general.

Transition times are times to be still, tune-in and prepare for the new season9/22  ::  Sun (core essential Self) ~trine~ Pluto (purification & transformation):

This energy ignites a strong desire within you to accomplish your goals, by any means necessary, and while you may come across as assertive, it ultimately serves a positive purpose. The changes at hand are necessary and facing them head-on will provide invaluable insights that strengthen your foundation, facilitating organic evolution to the next level of your own life. This transformative energy encourages deep contemplation about your individual needs & desires, prompting you to reassess and potentially reform or release certain aspects of your Self, your life or your environment. Seizing the opportunity to evolve consciously will mitigate any intense Pluto energy. This energy helps you leave a lasting impression or positively impact others if you want to, but be sure that your actions & words are aligned with the highest ethical standards. Any attempts to manipulate others for personal gain will likely backfire on you. Embrace this positive, uplifting energy to clear away obstacles and manifest the life you were meant to live.

9/22  ::  Venus (your values) ~square~ Pluto (transformation):

In the cosmic dance of celestial energies, this planetary activation heralds a profound and potent moment, demanding our attention and urging us to embark on a transformative journey. Its influence reverberates intensely, compelling us to venture beyond the familiar realms into uncharted territories, particularly in the spheres of relationships and finances. Prepare for an immersion into the depths of emotional resonance, as this activation sparks encounters and exchanges with others that unearth insecurities and stir hidden fears within oneself or within the dynamics shared between you. Stability finds itself absent from the equation, signaling an imminent and inevitable wave of change. The rumblings of this shift may have already grazed your awareness, yet now it stands fully present, offering an invitation to act with foresight or face the repercussions of delaying the inevitable. As I often profess, the adage of “Pay now or pay double later” echoes all through this transit. Despite the natural inclination to clutch onto familiarity, resist that temptation. Pluto, as is its nature, intensifies all that it touches. Embracing the necessary purification and embracing change stands as the wise choice, alleviating the potential for greater discomfort that comes when you resist Pluto’s purification & transformative powers. Activate your inner compass, discern your renewed values, and align with your truest priorities of here & now. In choosing change consciously, you lay the groundwork for a new & different future, free from the shackles of the old or an opportunity for something new that resonates more harmoniously with your natural essence and current aspirations.

9/22  ::  Venus Enters SCORPIO (until Oct 17th):

As you move through the relationship work in Libra, many new layers of life (and how connected to it all you really are) are revealed when she enters Scorpio. As new (or sometimes old) issues are exposed and brought into the light, you begin to realize that the love and abundance you’ve managed to attract or create is a direct reflection of your own personal values and self-worth. As Venus moves into Scorpio, it activates Soul-level work and illuminates how invisible energy is affecting your life and relationships. Ideas or beliefs that have become unconscious, hidden or buried, come into your conscious awareness at this time, rooting-out any self-deceptions and/or bad habits which no longer support who you’ve become over the last 2-8 years. It’s time to identify and release any self-sabotage, illusions, delusions or inner-darkness that is delaying your good or misguiding your power. It’s time to distill your motivations back to their original essence and intentions. Define your own terms. What is love? abundance? beauty? life? What do you want? and why do you want it? How will you create it? or magnetize it in? Scorpio is the energy and lesson of karma and creation, holding us all accountable for that which we bring into being. And reminding us that willing and honorable sacrifice clears a space for magic to occur and invites the Ancestors and Invisible realms to contribute and assist. Venus in Scorpio reminds you that you are not the Source of power, but merely a channel or vehicle of its expression in form. As a human with free will and choice, it helps to also be responsible and aware anytime Scorpio is kicking. Releasing deeper issues, clearing a space to plant *NEW* seeds of potential, doing the 3D/visible work, then stepping back and allowing the invisible power of Source Energy to breathe life into your intentions ~ is the best use of this time and energy. It can be intense and often challenging, but if you are able to push through the discomfort and face any dark Truths being revealed at this time, you will be cleansed, lighter and better able to direct your power and shape-shift as needed for living on a planet that is based on the Life/Death/Life Cycle, which is a natural rhythm.

9/24  ::  Mercury (lower mind) ~trine~ Uranus (Higher mind):

This activation grants you access to your Higher Mind, ushering in new & profound insights to guide you. The usual approaches won’t suffice; it is time to embrace the unconventional, adopt different perspectives, and witness a cascade of illuminating realizations. Your intuition will be exceptionally sharp, providing unparalleled clarity. While your thoughts might lack restraint, your ability to tackle recent or persistent challenges will soar. This intense mental energy may seem overwhelming; capturing your ideas and intuitions in notes can ground them for later use. Remain attentive to messages from others, as the Universe often delivers wisdom through unexpected channels. This signals a stirring of awareness to insights that were previously beyond your conscious grasp, now emerging for your own personal growth.

9/25  ::  Mercury (ideas & thoughts) ~oppose~ Neptune (dreams & spirituality):

This energy requires us to balance our thinking with our imagination! Some sensitive souls will feel bombarded by energies from all sides and it may feel like information-overload and can be very stressful. The best use of this transit is meditation – not making important decisions or commitments for a week or so. Communication with others can be challenged, another reason to only communicate with your Higher Self – or at least check-in more often this week! Don’t believe everything you read or hear. Allow information to flow at a comfortable pace and wait for the energy to shift before making any decisions based on the information gathered. Some will access the necessary clarity for furthering their vision – while others’ vision will be blurred and just out of reach.

9/25  ::  Mercury (ideas, thoughts & concepts) ~trine~ Pluto (rebirth & transformation):

This activation facilitates deep introspection and fruitful self-exploration. It encourages you to ask profound questions, clarify your true feelings and trust your intuition, especially when it signals that something must end in order for a new aspect of your consciousness to thrive. You may feel drawn to explore your Inner SoulSelf so that you can sort through any recent deep revelations or insights, and gain a better understanding of your own natural processes. Intentional Solitude is ideal for this type of personal journey—so take a day or a weekend, gather your most inspiring books & music, and retreat to a serene, peaceful & beautiful environment, whether it is an exotic location far away or simply the comfort of your own bedroom. Delve deep into your inner truth, and you will emerge transformed by your discoveries. If you need to communicate with others, keep the conversations meaningful & soulful, or ideally, because of the ease & grace of this activation, you could consult with a trusted advisor or wise elder. Avoid superficial interactions today. Be cautious not to obsess over a single idea or impose your thoughts or ideas on others. If you feel compelled to focus intensely on one thing, that’s fine, but maintain some perspective & remain focused and on-task. Write down any insights or ideas to review later when you can be more objective and prioritize them more effectively.

9/26  ::  Mercury Enters LIBRA (until Oct 13th):

Now that we’re done with Mercury Retrograde and the mental recalibration that just happened in Leo/Virgo, the shift into Libra will allow you to initiate a new level of mental balance & equilibrium to your nervous system. The recent rewiring has shifted how you think of your personal presentation and personal systems for living which are naturally going to shift how you relate with others going forward. It is time to activate & explore new ideas, thoughts & concepts about socializing and/or interacting with others and how you might beautify your Self & surroundings or upgrade your creative projects. Consider collaborations and mixed mediums or experimenting with new ways of expressing yourself.
