A Cozy Autumn Awakening
Summer officially ended Sunday, September 22, 2024, as the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere moved us from Virgo into Libra Season. I happen to love Fall. It’s my favorite season. Not only because of all the light layers for cute Fall outfits made complete with fly boots (do people still say fly?). I live on the East Coast where Fall usually has the best weather: not too cold, not too hot.
I also love feeling the transition of time. It is more pronounced for me in the Fall than any other time of year. I usually begin looking at the last quarter of the year around this time. If, like me, you tend to go into overdrive and also start planning out the upcoming year, I suggest, if at all possible, pause.
Navigating Eclipse Season
We are still in Eclipse Season where the energy is unstable. The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces was last week on September 17, 2024, and next week we have the Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2, 2024. Eclipse Season officially ends mid-October so that is a more conducive time for long-term and strategic planning.
Eclipse season adds an extra layer of intensity to this celestial tapestry. While it can be a time of uncertainty, it's also an opportunity for profound transformation. Embrace the energy and allow yourself to be guided by the universe.
New Season, New Beginnings
As the crisp autumn air settles in, we're treated to a celestial spectacle that promises a season of change. The Sun's journey into Libra, coupled with Venus squaring Pluto and entering Scorpio, all also on September 22, 2024, creates a unique blend of energy that invites us to embrace the cozy warmth of introspection and growth this week.
A Celestial Embrace
Venus, the planet of love and beauty, squares Pluto, the planet of power and transformation. Imagine a delicate glass vase filled with beautiful flowers, a symbol of Venus. This vase is placed on a sturdy, ancient pedestal, representing Pluto. While the vase is fragile and beautiful, the pedestal is strong and enduring.
When the vase is jostled or moved, the delicate flowers may seem to be in danger. However, this disturbance can also cause the vase to settle more firmly on its base, revealing a hidden strength and stability. Similarly, the tension between Venus and Pluto can bring up deep emotions and hidden desires, but it can also lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and a stronger sense of personal power.
Embrace the Transformation
This Fall season invites us to retreat inward, to connect with our inner selves. Light a candle, snuggle up in a warm blanket, create a cozy atmosphere, and allow yourself to be enveloped by the warmth of autumn. Begin brainstorming long-term plans and create wish lists or vision boards. Simply wait until mid-October to attach dates to those plans.
The celestial events of this Eclipse Season offer a unique opportunity for growth and metamorphosis. Let go of what no longer serves you and embrace the warmth and comfort that this autumn brings.
Let me know how it goes.
Easefully yours,
Darice
