RUNE OF THE MONTH: Berkana "Right Action".

RUNE OF THE MONTH: Berkana "Right Action". The feeling gives the meaning, the meaning gives the word and the word determines manifestations. It is most important to remember that words, thoughts and feelings carry vibrations that create or destroy. Dr Emoto proved this fact with his crystal pictures. Even if in the short term, we may not see any result of random acts of kindness, eventually, our loving actions will be rewarded a thousand-fold in sometimes unexpected but perfect ways.

Uranus remains retrograde this whole month.

Its shadow period remains until April 3, 2014. The degrees it travels this month (11º45'-10º40' Aries) are represented in the Sabian Symbols by: "The Ruler of a nation" and "A triangularly shaped flight of geese". Geese always take turns in leading the flock to warmer climates. If a goose becomes ill or is injured, it is never left alone. Its mate or another goose will descend with it and remain by its side until it either recovers or dies. This is a reminder that we are now at a time in our evolution where we are supported by like spirited beings. It is time to acknowledge our leadership and if we don't feel ready to lead others, rejuvenate while we allow others to navigate us out of troubled waters into clear skies.

Neptune remains retrograde this whole month until November 13.

The shadow period (period of time until it reaches the exact same degree it started its retrogration on) extends until March 4, 2014. The degrees it travels in August (3º49'-3º06' Pisces) is represented in the Sabian Symbols by: "Heavy car traffic on a narrow isthmus linking two seashore resorts". If we understand that spiritually we are all One, all our thoughts, all our feelings affect the whole of humanity. The more communication we have with one another, the more we heighten our frequency, the more influence we have on the general direction of planetary evolution. Every word, every thought, every feeling count.

Pluto continues turns direct on September 20.

The shadow period lasts until January 2014. This month, its retrogation goes from from 9º05' to 8º59' Capricorn. These degrees are symbolized in the Sabian Symbols by the following image: "An albatross feeding from the hand of a sailor" and "An Angel carrying a harp". Albatross is the bird which symbolically helps us find new ways out of chaos. It has tremendous resilience and is associated with independence, stamina, and faith. This degree is a very hopeful one, showing that the calmer we stay, the more open-minded we are, the easier it is to ride the changes with grace. The power is within us. As we connect to higher realms and know that we are not alone in this major transition humanity is going through, we shall be free from all that is not real. We are never alone. Even if unseen, Angels with the music of the spheres, soften our path and create new pathways for us to tread more elegantly, in a deeper peace.

Our Intentional Meditation

Our intentional meditation started on Tuesday 8/20 with the Full Moon in Aquarius.

On the New Moon in Virgo on Thursday 9/5, take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out at exactly 4:36 AM (you can put them out up to several hours prior to that time). Once that moment has passed (even if several hours later, or the next morning), staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams…

On Thursday 9/19, place as many blank sheets as you will have intentions out to be charged by the Full Moon in Pisces at exactly 4:13 AM. Once that moment has passed, put them away in a folder until the next New Moon in Libra on Friday October 4 at 5:34 PM.

************************

Sunday 9/1: Sun Trine Pluto (1:43 AM)

Our power, dignity, authority, self-confidence and aura of leadership elicit cooperative responses from others. A day to elegantly transmute what is keeping us from our highest good.

Saturday 9/7: Sun Sextile Jupiter (6:47 AM)

One of the luckiest days of the year. Our self-confidence, optimism, open mindedness and faith in life open many doors. Our positive attitude attracts great opportunities. We seek philosophical and adventurous friends.

Monday 9/9: Mercury enters Libra (0:07 AM till 9/29 at 4:37 AM), Mars Square Saturn (4:06 AM)

During the next 3 weeks, we express ourselves diplomatically, in fairness and balance. We seek peace and harmony. Art, elegance, beauty are all very appealing. Wonderful for artists and pleasant social activities. Today, more specifically, responsibilities could feel heavier than usual. An injustice could cause bitterness that is best alleviated by putting all our efforts into furthering our goals and ambitions with hard work and discipline.

Tuesday 9/10: Venus enters Scorpio (11:16 PM till 10/7 at 10:53 AM)

During the next month, nothing in our emotions is lukewarm. We love passionately and with intensity. Our understanding of our romantic relationship deepens. The way we express our creativity changes. We are able to X-ray situations and people and see through the lies and smoke-screens.

Friday 9/13: Pluto turns direct (8:27 AM), Saturn Sextile Pluto (10:18 PM)

Regarding Pluto turning direct, kindly refer to the opening paragraph. Today, more specifically, our quiet determination helps us work around the limitations imposed by circumstances or coercive people. Standing in our power, with serenity and clarity strengthens our position.

Sunday 9/22: Sun enters Libra (1:44 PM till 10/22 at 11:09 PM)

During the next month, we seek peace, harmony and beauty. Balance of the masculine and the feminine within and in our relationships, brings serenity. We are drawn to art and elegance. Wonderful for beauty treatments, changing our wardrobe, art and pleasant social activities.

Thursday 9/26: Venus Trine Jupiter (2:01 PM)

Saturday 9/28: Venus Square Mars (6:32 AM)

Honesty and calm help dissolve emotional barriers. Romantic frustrations are best dealt with patience. A day to balance the masculine and the feminine within ourselves, and truly understand how they complement each other.

Sunday 9/29: Mercury enters Scorpio (4:38 AM till Dec 4 at 6:41 PM)

During the next 2 months, we could feel as if in an obsessive spiral while searching for the truth. A time to be in full integrity with ourselves and leave no stone unturned in our inner work. Thoughts that no longer serve us could come to the surface for transformation. We could distance ourselves from people who no longer seem to match our frequency, while others much more in alignment with our vibration, step into our daily life. Metaphysical topics, the unveiling of secrets, recent scientific discoveries and strange archeological finds could stimulate our imagination and make us look for deeper answers to our questions.
