Labor, Gratitude, Autumn & Spiritual Approach
Autumn is quickly approaching, with its many festivals, holidays and celebrations of light. It’s only weeks now ‘til autumn equinox, another summer passing, another season approaching. Notice the word “approach”, as in Spiritual Approach, one of the Laws of the Aquarian Age. To “approach” means to “come closer.” The new Laws and Principles of the new Aquarian era, invites each of us to approach each other not in the old ways of fear and separation, judgment, criticism and intolerance, but with the light and knowledge of our essential spiritual divinity.
As each new age (2,500 years long) begins, humanity is given new guidelines. The Aquarian Age has six guidelines (Laws and Principles) to follow. One is “Spiritual Approach” which is studied from August 21st to October 21st. Spiritual Approach invites us to approach each other with love. For it is love that brings all earthly karma to an end.
Mercury (in Leo) is slowly moving out of retrograde. However, ‘til mid-September, it’s still progressing through its retrograde shadow. Uranus, planet of shaking things up, turning everything topsy-turvy and creating sudden upsets, stations retrograde Monday, September 1st at 27 degrees Taurus. During Uranus retrograde we look back on changes encountered this past year and their effects. Retrogrades are times of reflection and review.
Monday, September 2nd is both a new moon (Virgo) and Labor Day. Labor Day – how do we best approach this day? We contemplate on our labors and the labors of those around us. We offer gratitude to all kingdoms (human, animal, plant, mineral) who labor daily for our well-being. This is their love for and “approach” to us. Let us show our gratitude.
The Virgo new moon is a solar festival (11 degrees). Virgo is the world mother. She is Ceres watching over her daughter, Persephone, in the gardens of the earth, lest Pluto take her underground.
A lunar eclipse occurs at the Virgo solar festival (full moon), Tuesday, September 17th. Eclipse season has begun. A lunar eclipse informs humanity that things in the outer world, having completed their purpose, have or will disappear. We know what areas of life this occurs in when we consult our astrology charts. Does everyone have their chart?
And so, autumn begins the following Sunday, September 22nd as the Sun enters Libra, sign of deep, abiding, loving I/Thou relationships.
