This autumn is not easy. Because everything is connected, when our Earth upheaves in various ways, destroying what people have built, these effects are mirrored in our personal lives. With the Sun and Jupiter moving through the end of Libra, we are trying to maintain balance, and the Moon being in Aries on 17 October could show as fighting for the peace we want, which in fact engenders more aggression.

At the time of this Full Moon (Mercury in Scorpio is squaring both Saturn and Neptune) we are likely to be feeling anxious, or under pressure, and so not paying enough conscious attention to the actual circumstances, what’s really going on. What may be happening is that we are emotionally trawling through old stuff that is probably no longer relevant (Mercury in Scorpio), and mistakenly seeing what is happening around us as connecting to us in the old way.

This Full Moon chart has the Moon in Aries, and both it and the Sun/Jupiter are square to Chiron. So it looks like a time to be very careful about any actions taken. Our reactions are real enough, but acting them out directly could be damaging because they may not match whatever appeared to trigger them. Also any impulsive or impatient action made in the following two weeks could easily be too far ahead of its time in the movement of life, and could bring results one may regret.

Perhaps the way to go is ‘blessing’ what we see. It is as though we bring the stuff of life into consciousness by noticing, and accepting it. All we need to do, to complete the process, is pass it on to the ‘light.’ This is the act of blessing, which presupposes everything to be worthy of being in the light, that everything is in fact the light itself in some form, which we may not recognise at the time.

What we are noticing, accepting and passing into the light, is not just what we see around us, but also what is arising in us. So when you feel upset or angry or whatever, over the next two weeks, just notice it, accept that it’s how you feel, and say, perhaps, ‘May this be blessed.’ When we deliberately make this connection, the love and light within which humanity is evolving is able to flow more freely within our everyday life.

May you and all your efforts be blessed.
