SAMHAIN SEASON - entering liminal lands
Today is Dark or Old Moon in Scorpio...closing the door on the last lunation cycle, before opening into the new cycle with the Scorpio New Moon, tomorrow at 12.47UK time.
We are beckoned into deep dreaming now....
This Dark Moon is an en-couragement towards en-trance, to feel our relationship with thresholds, edges, liminal spaces, wild or howling depths, tender aching beauty...to close our eyes, to feel our senses prickling within the marrow of our feeling-bones which are awakened on this day.
And this year's Scorpio Moon happens to be on the day we collectively nod to Hallowe'en, so there's a vibe which is active within the collective field.
Halloween brings us towards Samhain season, an ancient nature based/pagan fire festival on the Wheel of the year.
It's the cross quarter festival halfway inbetween Autumn equinox and Winter Solstice.
In some traditions it marked the ending of the Old year....time to look over our shoulders with a retrospective glance, to pause and dwell with the old year and all it has brought.
Our celebration and commercialisation of the Christian festival of Hallowe'en/All Hallow's Eve on 31st.October energetically begins to bring an ambience of Samhain into the collective flow, whatever our faith or belief system.
This Samhain season, has it's liminal crossing in today's Scorpio Dark Moon.
It is woven with deep underworldly drives, feelings and heightened visceral senses.
This vibe is powerfully energised by a Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn opposition, at the end of each of these signs, a powerful moment.... now tightening towards it's peak between 1-4th.November.
Potent.
We may well fully face both welcome or unwelcome truths, personally and collectively,
Beasts may be raised.
And the lurking deep knowing that all beginnings demand endings before something new may fully birth into being....it is the way of Fate and it's spinning, measuring and cutting.
What needs to end...inner or outer...or both?
Observe and simply get familiar with your survival instincts, triggers, fears, self-protection, desires for security and defenses which we each erect to cope amidst the winds of Fate.
On a conscious level, we may wish for the deepest level of self-knowing through the empowering process of truth-seeking and enquiry.
Yet in action, engaging with this pathway demands deep courage, ruthless self-observation and commitment, faltering, hesitations, re-commitment to ourselves in all our myriad facets.
There needs to be a connection forged with deep wisdom and compassion....and a deep bond with inner or outer figures of henchmen and henchwomen .
There will be needs for pause and rest along the way (but not too long that we slip and slide backwards into habits of suspension!!).
It is a journey akin to a path through the dark woods of fairy tale and myth.
A mossy spiral staircase into the Underworld where we necessarily face other dimensions of ourselves, life and death, un-knowing and being un-done, experiences of loss and becoming lost.... all part of finding gold within the darkness.
It is on such a journey that we die to our commonly held image of ourselves....meet Fate in the void and rediscover and re-kindle the flame of who we always were, beneath the skins which needed to shed.
The beckoning towards this aspect of life thrums.
Can you feel it?
Samhain season is time to slow down, rest, simply 'be', look within, feel into your depths and your body and your bones, seek ever-deepening truth through peeling back the layers, be honest to yourself, foibles and all....sit in this thrumming stillness and open to revelations.
It's the season to nourish your body and your soul, en-vision and dream, enter into trance-formation...echoing nature's creatures now entering into their torpor or hibernation phase....nourishing themselves to sustain through their Wintering.
Blessings on Samhain ❣🍁🍂🎃

THE JUPITER-URANUS CONJUNCTION...and perceiving the wonders of our world.
The current Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Ta**us has been moving into connection for the last week...it's become big stuff across social media and in many conversations.
Let's explore....
Jupiter and Uranus conjoin every 13-14yrs, co-inciding within a particular Zodiac sign, sequentially. These Gods of expanding perspectives and wild awakenings stream into and through us human beans, in a co-weaving.
They vibe humanity with the potential to grow, expand, provoking and beckoning us to see the area of Life expressed through the lens of the particular Zodiac sign, from a whole new perspective. Our angle of vision may be significantly opened into wide and far-angled.
This sometimes leads to revolution, previously unimagined inventions, innovations, or happenings which rock the world.
This weekend, Jupiter and Uranus are now fully joined together in their alchemical marriage, the ceremony is happening, consummating and opening up a phase which will last for the next 13-14yrs.
During this phase, Jupiter and Uranus' own progression and evolution in relationship to one another, alongside other planets or Sky deities adding their gifts along the way, will weave a new tapestry and a new potential will be seeded into humanity.
And this begins with each individual human pod of being and awareness experiencing their very own response and receiving of these awakening and expanding energies.
We are being invited, touched, moved, inspired into a new realm of perception, to add to the collective.
We are each seeds of potential shaping the field of the collective.
I have seen many 'WOW' blogs on this conjunction, presenting this conjunction as something which will simply happen TO us, with amazing consciousness expansion and maybe even a new paradigm launching.
As if by magic, without our engagement and response.
Yet we are beings of Fate and Free Will.
We experience so much...a myriad vast variety of events, during our time on Earth. And we have the opportunity, within every experience, to respond and shape our 'being' within and alongside the experience, and how it touches and moves us.
We are co-creators of our life experiences...a magical weaving of Fate and Free Will.
We are co-weavers.
So, back to this grand conjunction...
Let's definitely keep our curious eyes upon world events and what is happening in the Zeitgeist.
And...let's not forget that we each have our unique way of receiving, experiencing and engaging with Jupiter and Uranus expanding our awareness of Ta**us aspects of Life. And this contributes to the Whole...it is an opening of true conversation with the panetary deities and the Zeitgeist.
We huimans can experience the sensual wonders of being in a body on this Earth.
The treasures and pleasures of experiencing the world through five amazing physical senses...to see beauty, colour and nuance of form, to hear exquisite birdsong and music, to taste and savour yummy foods and drinks, to catch aromas and breathe them in with an 'Aaaaaah', to feel silken textures with our fingertips, to feel the ecstasy of Life on Earth.
Maybe amidst this Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, we could pause to notice any recent awakened perceptions, not only regarding our body perceptions and experiences, but also towards what we HAVE on Earth.
Our amazing resources of food, plants for medicine and healing, for building and sustaining our homes, for furniture and dishes and cutlery, for tools, for clothing and crafting and exploring, for ornamentation.
WOW.
And through the tragedy of loss of home, food, safety, being able to sustain security , of DIS-honouring what we receive from the Earth, what we truly value, need and love emerge as stark realisations....even when we watch this happening seemingly far away, we can pause, feel and witness our response, our imagining into that reality. And expand our perception.
WE can practice being active in doing this...creating a wider and richer field of perception through simple slowing and dropping into...
We can notice what we truly value, what is most precious to us, in our life on Earth...what may we have forgotten to honour, to love, to cherish with respect and gratitude to the magic of our existence on this amazing planet.
Maybe we can remember to give thanks, to Mother Earth, to the essence of Creation itself, which has seeded every aspect of our life experience.
So maybe these seemingly simple yet truly profound areas can be our awakening.
And through this, we can recognise our own personal eurekas...and so the world evolves.
Go slow...touch the Earth and remember process and evolution have their own timing.
And as you slow and touch the Earth, or watch that seed breaking through it's seed case with the determined magic of creation and becoming, what wonders do you perceive?
WOW....❣

AWAKENING SLUMBERING DRAGONS
So here we are in the dark old moon phase which precedes tomorrow's Aries New moon and Solar eclipse (mid evening UK time)
The Sun and New Moon also form a conjunction with Chiron, alongside Mercury and Venus also being in Aries.
The heat is on!
So firstly - Dark Moon phase (1-2 days preceding New Moon), is an all-important yet oft skipped over lunar phase of naturally moving inwards and resting, focussing upon the out breathing part of life's rhythm.
It's about pausing, re-viewing and releasing.
We create the space for this by stepping into the simplicity and serenity of 'being'...whether that is for a devoted 10minutes, or a whole evening.
Just drop more deeply into a dream state, in whatever time-scape is possible.
Out of this precious space, naturally emerges a space of sensing and divining areas of life which need attention, a stirring of Soul-cauldron, a blessing, a letting go, a re-visioning.
And the Aries potential for a re-sparking and re-firing.
This dark moon review and release feels even more essential to clear the ground, before the new moon and solar eclipse in Aries.
A much needed looking before a-leaping!
This energy wave we are experiencing is of great potency, it's a powerful urgency to move and shift and create the reality we want, through our own agency, will and empowered direction.
Many folk are feeling zingy, speedy, excited, pressured, head-full or head-strong.
It's a drive to shed skins, to remove blocks, to burn through anything inhibiting your path forwards as magnetised by your soul song.
And individuals weave together to create a collective.
The Chiron conjunction with the Sun and Moon, brings attention to any difficulty around assertion, will force, masculine potency, going -for-it....and offers the opportunity and potential for a healing adjustment.
As we experience Aries fiery passionate drive coursing through us, the urgent need to fulfill personal goals with a willingness to fight for what we believe and value, we are likely to meet a well-habituated response.
We may find either a resistance and exert too-much-control around this Aries drive of Eros (Life energy)...or we may go over the top in out-of-control wildfire.
Musings for Enquiry
Do you hesitate and falter, feel fearful of this fiery power firing you up? Do you over-consider others opinions, needs or feelings and under-consider yourself before making decisions to move ahead in Life? Do you hold back and implode from over-cautiousness, over-thinking or detailing? Do you regret not saying YES to opportunities, or fear an unlived Life?
Do you impetuously fire up and forcefully ride roughshod with the wild pleasure of drive and impulsivity? Don't know when to slow or stop? Do you explode forwards towards goals which in the NOW seem full of great potential, yet may burn bridges and destroy other goals and hopes for connection and co-operation?
Is there a particular life situation, current or past, which you found yourself alighting upon, as you considered these approaches?
Take a few moments to sit with these musings...to awaken slumbering dragons which may need and welcome your loving attention and maybe your willingness to slip a snakeskin to liberate and reveal a new way into being and expression.
Blessings on this Aries vitality and eros...may we use it to empower our deepest values into becoming and being ❣
