Happy Autumnal Equinox everyone! This has always been my favorite time of year. Here, the leaves change colors and the air gets cooler. The smell of burning leaves wafts through the air. There's a shift in energy. New things feel possible. Picture from the English Heritage Foundation.

Shaohao (少昊), son of the Yellow Emperor and one of the legendary Five Emperors, was said to be born as five phoenixes descended from the heavens. Leading one of China’s earliest tribes, he came to be revered as the God of the Hundred Birds, ruling a clan marked by harmony and music. #mythology

The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music. #ShakespeareSunday

The chart of this powerful solar eclipse in Virgo suggests that in addition to expanding and refining our perceptions, we will also benefit from a bit of self-discipline and a lot of compassion. Letting go is a major theme in the weeks and months ahead. uraniaswell.substack.com/p/refining-a...

Difficult to articulate what this means or why I'm burning it, but I feel good about it. Letting go and walking away.

Today's eclipse marks the end of a particularly challenging period. The weight of oppression is significant, and overcoming it will require focus and determination. We have obstacles to face. Despite this heavy energy, the best way to navigate through it is by letting go of outdated beliefs,

Solar eclipse at Saturn opposition closely followed by the equinox.

Solar eclipse at 29°♍. The perfection degree. Opposite task master Saturn. Just one step away from bringing it to closure. Running out of time. Stakes are so high. That one step will change everything. Untangling the karmic knot. The law of cause and effect. The butterfly fluttering it's wings.
