TUNING IN: MOON REPORT
Last Quarter Harvest Moon in Cancer
September 23 2016
Integrating New Awareness
POST-ECLIPSE SEASON
In the aftermath of the “Living Your Purpose” Eclipse Season,
we are integrating some potentially huge
consciousness shifts. I say “potentially,” because there is still a certain
impulse to turn away from our development and seek rest in what was comforting
us a few months ago (especially as we move towards the dark moon).
By staying
consciously present, we can acknowledge our need for rest, without closing
any newly-opened doors.
LAST QUARTER MOON
We are entering the last week of the Harvest Moon cycle.
This is a point of illumination, where we can get a new perspective on what we’ve harvested this month, this season, this year,
and reflect on what we still want to accomplish.
This perspective shift may be more of a feeling, as we take
a couple months to fully integrate what’s going on into a sense of big-picture
clarity (think early December, with the Birth Moon, and sun in Sagittarius). We’re
feeling out a new sense of focus,
and need time to adjust to new ways of seeing, and find our balance. The current moon in Cancer supports this
energy of feeling things out.
EQUINOX
Yesterday’s Autumn Equinox (with moon in Gemini) brought us
a powerful force of bringing polarities
into balance. Whatever imbalances you experience in your life between
opposing forces—like dark/light, masculine/feminine, work/rest,
giving/receiving—are attempting to realign themselves. This can make you feel
wobbly and uncertain, again as an adjustment
period to a new state of balance.
If you’re very balanced to begin with (some people have this
superpower) you probably feel supercharged by the equinox and the sun passing
into Libra, the sign of balance and justice.
PREPARE FOR CONSCIOUS DOWNTIME
In both the month-cycle and the year-cycle we’re entering
the dark-time—time of turning our
energies inward for rest, renewal and introspection. Prepare for these
times (New Moon Sept. 30, and winter ahead) with your eyes open. Bring consciousness
into your downtime by acknowledging your needs, while you keep-up acting on
your truth, at a slowing pace.
