Saturday 10/4/14--alignment in awareness

A visionary rite of passage.

On Saturday, 10/4/14, the Sun is in Libra, early autumn in the north, looking forward with love and harmony, as Moon, heart spirit, projects around to mid-winter, peak pressure, isolating us in our essence. (Mercury turns retrograde for a few weeks--mental backtracking). The Jews call this the Day of At-one-ment, a moment of reflection and reconciliation, alignment at the heart of things as we begin the new year's fertility cycle, key to surviving coming challenges and emerging with the flowering of spring.

Beyond the distracting complications of religion, accepting awareness and all that comes with it is essential for healing in humanity. This was the realization of Abraham, the Hebrew from Sumeria, common patriarch of Jews, Christians and Muslims, who declared, as have others, that while many practices can be helpful, they are no substitute for humble return to the truth and balance of undistorted nature, yielding to the source of creation, finding strength and clarity in vulnerability.

At a time of energized passion and intensified sensitivity, transformative power is breaking through old, unhealthy tensions, leading to new relationships with our greater potential. The best we can do is give in to the mystery unfolding, each contributing in our own unique way, at peace amidst the process.

"All we are saying...is give life a chance."
