The Akashic Records of September 2017 by Jen Eramith (an excerpt from the Monthly Message) | Akashic Transformations



The Akashic Records of September 2017 by Jen Eramith (an excerpt from the Monthly Message)
| Akashic Transformations


The energy this month is clear. There is a sense of honesty and of being forthright that emerges this month. This is not to say that things are quiet; in fact, this is a very active month. And yet there is clarity resounding through the entire time period. This clarity has a sweeping energy. Clear perspective sweeps through, almost like a hurricane clearing everything out of its path.


This month brings an opportunity to see things for what they really are more than ever before. There is no more room for denial. There is no room for tolerating deception, and no reward for being sneaky this month. Nothing sneaky will work. The only thing that will work well this month is honesty.


You can expect to engage in the difficult process of facing a truth that you have been ignoring, or a truth that was previously hidden from you. Many of you will feel betrayed as you realize things are not what they seemed, or something you believed was never true. It will be important to have compassion with yourself and with others. Even if you are frustrated with one another, try your best to offer compassion and understanding as people wake up and realize things that you may have known for a long time.


This sweeping clarity may be difficult, but it is also profoundly reassuring. It is the feeling when you finally sit down and get to work on something you had avoided. It is a relief to rise above the dread of procrastination. The hard work is before you, and yet there is something clean, clear, and restful in your mind when the struggle is over and you start working. This is the energy available for you in September 2017.

Update for July 11, 2017 by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation



12 Manik 10 Kumku, 13 Caban

Dratzo! We are on the verge of a wondrous set of events. It seems that all the obstacles we encountered have been dealt with and we are just about ready for the initial group of deliveries. These currencies are to be gold-backed and are to contain US notes. There are to be no Federal Reserve dollars in these assigned deliveries. Hence, they are to spell the demise of the US Federal Reserve and quite shortly are to signal the formal rise of your new NESARA Republic. This simply means that we are to officially observe the start of a number of major arrests of the heinous scalawags of the dark. Oh Happy days for us all!!

These coming times are to ultimately demonstrate the deep commitment of those in charge to giving us our prosperity and the formal establishment of our NESARA Republic. We are truly grateful to all in both Heaven and Earth for finishing their grand assignments! This is no small achievement. It simply implies that all is now well and in good order. Much is still left to be done. Hence, ready yourselves to earnestly commence your grand preliminaries and, in divine purpose, achieve your sacred projects to better humanity and this magnificent realm! May you all be blessed by Heaven for your wondrous patience!

There is much that can be said about the events of the day. What is deeply required is a true return to honesty. For the last two decades, we have seen how those in power openly flaunt their positions. The present time is indeed the moment for this to finally stop, particularly for those who so arrogantly saw us in a most unkind light. In other words “off with their heads!” Good-bye to the Powers that were! A most marvelous welcome to those who now come to forever change the order of this realm The old power must be ready to face the consequences of their actions. In this regard, we rejoice in the arrests that are expected to follow and wish them to fully face the results of their unsavory actions.

It has long been known by the Light that this grand day was destined to arrive. The process of “taking out” the upper crust trash has now come and they will ultimately be gone. We salute those who showed the courage to complete their ordained tasks. It is not easy to formally end eras of untold abuse by those who exercised power. It is an even greater accomplishment for those chosen for this much-needed task to have so brilliantly carried out their most luscious duty! A grand final salute to all who carried out this magnificent job! Hurrah! Hurrah to the new realm!

Namaste! We are your Ascended Masters! We begin this message slightly dazed and confused by all the attention generated. All that has emerged is a strange series of proclamations that are all too common in this very weird reality. Heaven is doing all to finally return this reality to a semblance of sanity. The dark cabal seems destined to shortly meet its end. Heaven has also set up the demise of this most unkind reality, and we are close to a time when all comes to a most benevolent conclusion. The time of miracles is upon us!!

Let us think of this as the moment when your much-disappointed globe is permitted to turn its unholy weapons into a most welcome series of plowshares. It is when old thoughts of war, disruption and national hatreds are to conclude. Permit us, Sirs, to bring about a much-anticipated Peace as the true order of the day! It is also a time to celebrate this newly brewed Age of Love and Light. A time to bring forth many special moments to honor prosperity and Heaven’s divine Light! In this Light we bless all and again thank Heaven for all that is about to manifest. Hosanna! Hosanna!

What is occurring is cause and effect for the sacred decrees of the Heavenly Host. Rejoice, humanity, and return these divine blessings with true appreciation for what is so lovingly given you by the sacred and the divine! Indeed this is magically becoming a series of sacred moments from Beyond! It has taken far too long for all to manifest before you. Now is a time when, in joy, you can joyfully manifest all that you originally came here to accomplish. So as it is said, Be One in purpose and in thanks for all that you are allowed to do.

Today, we have continued our weekly global report. As you can see, events are unfolding that finally allow us to near the end of these inglorious times. Know in your heart that the countless and never-ending supply of Heaven is indeed yours! So Be It! Selamat Gajun. Selamat Ja! (In Sirian Be One! And Be in Joy!)

Astrology Forecast for the 2016 Scorpio New Moon


The 2016 Scorpio New Moon delivers a Halloween vibe that’ll outlast the costumes, parties and stashes of candy. It is dark and mysterious, with an edge of danger. This Scorpio New Moon is stirring specters and demons, ghosts and other reminders of mortality, and non-rational impulses with the power to overtake sensibility.


The veil is thin, not just between life and death, but also between conscious and subconscious. Each side is effortlessly tapping into the other just now, and often sliding right across the border. Neptune the illusionist is greasing the way with a direct feed to the 2016 Scorpio New Moon that enhances the season’s otherworldly atmosphere.


He is blurring edges, detail and reason, unhinging us from boring old everyday existence, and shrouding everything in a fantastical glow. With this tight Scorpio/Pisces combo, energetic connections have the power to transcend time/space. You may dream of the dead and wake up feeling like you had a conversation, and likely you did. Life may, at times. feel like an ongoing costume party, at other times like your personal sci-fi movie.


The 2016 Scorpio New Moon – Sensational Visuals


Whether that film is horror or fantasy or rated MA will vary. Fears and phobias are walking among us, in firmer, perhaps more threatening form than usual, perhaps more distorted. Desires and raw sexuality are also on the prowl, with a primal. compulsive force that defies closed doors. (Inspirational image: Spock succumbing to feral passion when he returns to his home planet for spawning season.)


When you feel any of these rising within you — or see them surfacing in another’s behavior — remember this: Being out in the open makes them easier to spot, and easier to recognize for what they are.


The 2016 Scorpio New Moon delivers the tools to do just that. With Mercury close by the New Moon, powers of perception are at our disposal bordering on X-ray vision. Information and messages pass wordlessly, with an unshakable knowing. Even people who claim to be not the least bit psychic are likely to experience bouts of telepathy.

The Lunar Toolbox Says Trust Your Intuition


Trust your gut, your instincts, your intuition, the still calm voice within you (as opposed to the chatter-box). It is finely tuned and at peak operating speed right now.


Also in this lunar toolbox: Willingness to confront these demons on the hoof, with fearlessness on tap as if an unseen hand is pumping an alleged natural power’s triple-action Spooks Be Gone! spray. Whether we intentionally target them or not, this 2016 Scorpio New Moon is shining a light under the bed and into the closet, dispelling the little men and other terrors from early childhood (as well as of more recent provenance).


Relationships stand to improve in honesty and depth of connection. That fearlessness, and those aforementioned desires, have the power to plow down defenses and lead to vulnerability, exposing our full beings before another, and moving into great and tender intimacy, emotional as well as physical.


This 2016 Scorpio New Moon has a time-slowing, time-stopping edge to boot. Life may feel more immediate, more in the moment, more intense and focused. The “get down to business” impulse is still with us from the mid-month meeting between Scorpio’s two rulers, Mars and Pluto.


Time of Astro-Clashing Resonance and Movement


Mars is still ringing with the effects of his clash two days ago with Uranus, cosmic agent of radical, unpredictable change. This has liberated us in some pertinent way, perhaps from a pattern or way of viewing life, perhaps from an agreement or circumstance. We are now able to move more nimbly.


That movement promises to be both inward and forward. You may find yourself in another round (or three) of clearing gunk out of your head and your psyche, of confronting more of your own personal demons and fears and defanging them, if not banishing them.


Every bit of load-lightening and baggage removal frees up energy for pursuing that down to business vibe — via sustained, deepened, streamlined, thorough action, step by tiny step, on long-term goals, structures and ways of being that have been undergoing fundamental revamping for years.


The time is ripe. Circumstances are ripe. We are ripe. Forward movement with far-reaching consequences is occurring now, in part through conscious effort, in part as if pulled by a tractor beam or other greater force. Point yourself in the direction of your dreams and see if you aren’t carried toward them.


2016 Scorpio New Moon – Best Time to Ask


Ask, too, for guidance and insight. Go ahead and ask to be led in the most beneficial direction. Ask for a gentle, loving journey toward your goals. Ask for magic. Everything is in reach, thanks to the easy flow of the trine between the New Moon and Neptune, ruler of transcendence and the link to all of life and to the divine.


Even with assistance from unseen forces, and visitations from ancestors, and downloads in dreams — all of which are on the rise this coming month — you are actively participating in everything that unrolls under this Scorpio New Moon. Don’t shy away from grabbing any opportunities you spy. They are coming off the cooperative sextile between the New Moon and the North Node of destiny.


When in doubt, say yes. If the opportunity doesn’t support the platform and path you’re building, it may not survive. Or may shape-shift into something that does.


Train your attention on what matters most to you and let everything else drop. (Except for those opportunities; they’ll sort themselves out.) Having trouble deciding? Does it matter in the long run? Do you want to be thinking about it on your deathbed? Yes: that level of matters most to you.


This is your moment to go deep, far and long. The reward is progress toward something precious, to you, and a rich experience of life on this side of the veil.

Sarah Varcus: May 2015 Astro-Energy Report Honesty is the Best Policy | Awakenings Intuitive Astrology

astrology May 2015, Full Moon in Scorpio, New Moon in Taurus, Pluto in Capricorn, deep truth, personal truth, managing the mind, conscious relationships, Jupiter conjunct Juno in Leo


May 2015 raises the issue of relationship: with ourselves, each other and our environment both near and far. We simply cannot go it alone, is the basic message of this month, nor can we expect others to do it for us. It is time to take full responsibility for ourselves whilst simultaneously recognising that we do nothing in isolation. Every thought, word and deed impacts and is impacted by everyone and everything around us. We act both as individuals and as a collective, standing alone and forever entwined. Within this central paradox of the human condition is found the mystery of the divine which expresses itself through us, as us and aside from us. Recognising ourselves as both instruments of creation and creators in our own right is necessary now, for we must, in coming months, be clear in our actions, knowing what is needed to further the common good rather than focusing only on what serves our personal gain. The two cannot be separated now, for if personal gain contravenes the common good we will reap only isolation. And if the common good appears as an obstacle to personal gain a realignment of priorities may be required.


The coming month brings a gradual shift in energy from the earthy physicality of April to a more changeable, cerebral energy as first Mercury (1st May), then Mars (12th May), then the Sun (21st May) enter airy Gemini. This contact-driven sign which seeks to communicate and connect, rarely settling anywhere for too long before attention is drawn to the next thing, reminds us to look up and around, to interact with those people, places and possibilities that co-exist all around us. The web of connectivity which binds us to each other and all beings, is as if illuminated now like never before. It needs our awareness and consideration: a wakeful response to the unavoidable truth that we are, indeed, one.


Whilst April saw us learning to live with an unknown future, in May we begin to seek answers and forge some plans. There is movement afoot and progress. The key issue, however, remains the direction and nature of progress made. ‘Don’t jump the gun’ is still good advice despite the gathering of planets in flexible Gemini. It is important to honour process now, not side-step it to more quickly reach our desired destination. We will get to where we’re going when we get there and we may not find out where it is until we do. In the meantime, May offers insight which will help optimise choices to be made in the coming months.


A Full Moon in Scorpio on 4th May demands much but offers more. It reminds us that what we refuse to acknowledge in ourselves does not fade away but instead seeps out here and there. The human psyche may be adept at avoidance when necessary, but we do not simply eradicate something from our energy field purely by wishing it away. Only by facing who and what we are can we change. We cannot complete a puzzle without looking at it, nor can we recreate ourselves without knowing the raw materials available for the task. This Moon shines her light on the darkest places within, reminding us that what we find in the shadows deserves our love and attention as much as anything we wilfully bring into the light. Revelations around the time of this Moon will inform the rest of the month, for what we see now is truth. It may not be palatable but we must acknowledge it nonetheless, refusing to turn away. In it are revealed the components for the next phase of our journey. Not nice and shiny newly polished personality parts that we happily place on display, but the tarnished, blackened artefacts we prefer to overlook or at least set aside for another day. That other day is now. Our future creativity relies upon our willingness to unleash the shadow and allow it expression in the light of awareness. This is how we truly come to know ourselves as whole.


Being whole, complete, integrated is a significant theme this month. It is not that we must be it, but that we must commit to the process of becoming it. This is something altogether different! It takes time and sometimes trouble, a willingness to be honest and open, vulnerable. A commitment to wholeness is a commitment to being unpopular at times, sometimes out of step, often challenged and challenging. It is not an easy ride but it is a liberating one and May places fuel in our spiritual tanks for the journey ahead. We may encounter a number of challenges, even crises, this month. Each, when lived fully with as much awareness as possible, has the capacity to take us ever deeper into the sacred space within, where dwells all the wisdom we could ever need. Each moment of this month is geared to bringing out of us what we already know, what already lives, hidden but vibrant, inside.
We may find ourselves covering familiar ground, encountering patterns we thought were left behind. But there’s no need for alarm. We haven’t slipped back into old ways and out of new possibilities. Instead we can demonstrate our willingness to change by responding to familiar dynamics in wholly new ways. There is something of an experimental air about this process, an opportunity to ‘act as if’ and see what happens. If you encounter old problems, familiar feelings, that same old argument with the same old person or a recurring obstacle you just can’t seem to surmount, resolve to try a different response, adopt a different attitude. If you always did ‘X’ try ‘Y’ for a change. Dare to be different, to stray from the script, ad lib for a while and see what happens. So little is set in stone right now that it would be a waste to stick with tried and tested methods, especially when they have gotten us nowhere fast before! Only by daring to be someone we haven’t yet been can we discover the full range of options available to us. Only in trying out the new can we discover what truly makes our heart sing in resonance and our spirit rise up to cry freedom.


From 10th May to the month end Asteroid Juno is conjunct Jupiter. In myth Juno and Jupiter were husband and wife, so this astrological alignment once again raises the issue of relationship and the spectre of the sacred marriage within and without. Juno speaks of commitment which endures and those areas of life in which a long term perspective is of most value. For some it may not be a love relationship but instead a dedication to work or family. There may be a cause that consumes us or a deep desire whose fulfilment has become the purpose of our life. In our hearts we each know where Juno calls us into long term commitment and why. We may resist at times, preferring a shorter and more expedient route, but she forever reminds us that some of the best results mature over time and develop in layers. They simply cannot be spun out of thin air on a whim and a prayer, for the process is as important as the outcome. In her conjunction with Jupiter, Juno invites reflection on where and why we commit. What do we seek by doing so and whose purpose do we serve? An alignment with Pluto in Capricorn reminds us that the most powerful commitments are those in which we are prepared to offer ourselves up to the process rather than seek the outcome, allowing the fusion of our energy with that of another person, place or cause, to work its magic deep within us.


Likewise, if we harbour misplaced commitments some cutting of ties may be necessary. Time and energy are too precious to waste in places parched of life-giving spirit. We are all called, this month, to cast-aside rose-tinted glasses and take a long, hard look at where we expend our energy and why. Doing so now will give us a head start when Saturn begins to square Neptune later this year and illusions without substance dissolve like melting snow. A New Moon in Taurus on 18th May offers pragmatism together with intuitive knowing about where true soul connections are found. It is these we must nurture in the coming months as we approach the Saturn/Neptune alignment which will take us through 2016. We are currently choosing our teams and finding our tribe. They may not turn out to be who we anticipated but as we’ve already seen, this is a time of doing things differently, not repeating old patterns whilst hoping for new results. The future is still unformed and up for grabs. We are creating it here and now as we speak, think, act and feel. This month we can reflect on who we want beside us in this next creative phase.


Mercury turns retrograde in Gemini on 19th May (until 11th June), supporting just such reflection. Rather than disrupting communication this Mercury enhances it if we truly seek for honest exchange rather than surface platitudes. It shows us where we align with others and where our paths diverge; where we need the lightest touch, moving on without so much as a backward glance, and where we need to connect and engage to establish deeper intimacy. If we find ourselves frustrated by communication breakdown or growing inter-personal distance, it may well be that the distance was always there but is simply more obvious now and can no longer be ignored.


Once the Sun enters Gemini on 21st May we can better access the flexibility needed to rapidly assess the world around us and make the best decisions accordingly. A square between Neptune and Mars from 21st to the month end, incorporating Mercury from 26th, requires careful handling. Honesty is called for, especially the risky kind. Whatever we try to hide or deny at this point will make itself doubly felt in a month’s time when Mercury travels direct across the same zodiac degrees. Far better that we deal with things now, no matter how difficult it may seem. Honesty is most definitely the best policy as May comes to an end, which is especially worth bearing in mind if it is someone else’s honesty we would rather avoid! Thoughts and feelings shared authentically now, even if tough to hear, lay the groundwork for deeper intimacy in due course. If there is much to be aired at this point it is because much has been avoided previously. How we proceed from here, especially in our most significant relationships, rests upon how well we embrace the current challenge to be straight, honest and true in all that we say and all that we do.


Honesty sounds simple but can be incredibly hard at times! We barely notice the petty deceptions and denials of our everyday consciousness, so familiar we become with their presence. But as May comes to a close they will become increasingly evident, as will the consequences of allowing them free reign. It is time to take ourselves in hand, express what we think, how we feel and invite others to do the same. If we can all do this with the courageous compassion fitting of a spiritual warrior who pursues deep truth above all else, we can emerge victorious together, honouring the priceless value of both sharing and receiving truth with an open heart and an expansive mind. Your truth, my truth, personal and ultimate truth. All need to be aired. In doing so we meet ourselves and each other, deepen our connections and foster the trust and intimacy necessary for the road ahead.

Soulstice Rising ~ Ascension Notes: Unity Consciousness...the end of duality - 30-Apr-2015





Unity Consciousness...the end of duality - 30-Apr-2015


Realize that all are in different phases of their Ascension. What is shared here is the ...potential ...of all sentient beings. So look truthfully at where you truly are, and then take a step forward. ...


Most important is for you to be honest with yourself. for it is essential for your true rising as a Divine Being of Love. Being authentic is being true to your Soul. your Divinity. Your life will reflect to you your truth. If one is defensive, it surely is separate ego attempting to hold them back in the old. If one is judgmental, then that one is also of the old, anchored in the duality of right/wrong, love/hate, good/bad and so forth. The potential of Now is that duality is dissolved and Unity is the way of the highly evolved being. And it is true that we are anchoring more and more of our Higher Selves. our Newness. There may be those in your life who will rebel against your New self. Let them, while you maintain your loving kindness, realizing that all have a choice. The schism between New and old is quite prominent now and as you disengage from battle, you strengthen the New within you. If your separate ego is begging you to engage to prove something, either ignore the urge to be pulled back into old behaviors or write it out. Journaling is a powerful healing tool.


Since the eclipses, we have slowly but powerfully moved more and more into our new space. For those reticent to address some of their deeper core issues of dross, it ...may ...have been a difficult time. When one ignores what surfaces, it only goes deeper and continues to create life. It will resurface again and again until it is accepted and released. It takes Awareness, Acceptance and self-Responsibility to do so, and most do not like it when these things surface. Why? Because it is of the old and our natural state of being is Love. Yet, it is truly essential to let go of all that is not Love. not simply ignore it. Ignoring does not release it. It will continue to create circumstances in order to get your attention. Since we are holding more Light and more Love, the old issues will become more and more painful, for the old duality cannot coexist with Love.


Regardless of what is occurring around you, realize that you are in a whole New life. If you are not conscious of this, you may continue to act as if you are in the old life of duality, which of course, keeps you in that tenuous state of straddling both worlds, which can be quite confusing and detrimental to your ongoing Ascension. Know too that when you are in proximity of lower energies, you may feel confused and doubt your worth. This is the time to be strong in your Love. To do this, you may have to disengage from others as well as from the outer world. Yes, the outer world can tell you what is still within to accept and let go &..help or what to empower. Because we are so much more in the New, the outer can actually erode how far we've come. This disengaging, if we choose to do this, allows us to be stronger in Love and to strengthen the foundation of the New. When you are firmly in the New, you want to only be with others who support your New You, rather than have it be chipped away with subtle judgments and other lower energies of duality. Love yourself enough to step aside and not engage or fight, because that does nothing but empower the dark.

On May 3rd we receive more anchoring of the New through the Full Moon of Wesak. This upgrade will help us balance, even with all the changes happening in personal and global life. Remember that we are building, step by step, our New lives of being Love. Be patient with yourself and stay in the Moment without old expectations or busy-ness (which keeps you from receiving the messages that help you move forward). Every event in your life, whether in a dream or waking life, has a message for you. Nothing is random. All is designed to move you forward. Resist nothing and go deeper within each event to receive your message. It could be what is still left to review and a choice to change or it could be a new way of being or a new direction. Be the Compassionate Observer, detached from what your mind wants to do & put it in a box of old understanding or experience and see what message you're receiving. All occurs for your highest evolution. Of course, it is your choice to disengage or to dive deeper.

Since the eclipses of March and early April, we have continued to receive downloads of high dimensional Light to help anchor Unity Consciousness (the end of duality). Solar activity has helped with this and now that the sun is being rather quiet does ...not ...mean that we're not receiving high dimensional energy that flows from our Galactic Sun as we receive through our own sun the downloads from Source. When the sun is quiet, there is a deeper transformation occurring, much like the deeper and quieter movements of Earth. It affects our deeper, unconscious core beliefs, so it is a deepening of our transformation. And when it seems all is at a standstill and quiet within us, it does not mean we have stopped growing. Much goes on beneath the surface, whether it is us, the Earth or the sun. Stillness is not only a time of integration and rest, it is also a time of really deep shifting.

We are moving into a time of more Wholeness and Peace. There is more observation, rather than attachment. As you maintain your center, you integrate more of your Christed Self, so remain observant, yet detached, from what is occurring in life. Be of Compassion, which is detached Love. It is a Love greater than the smaller love that we have known, which is strife with expectations and hoped-for end results. Real Love has no judgment, attachment or expectation. it is neutral and it is Who we are. Since 1987, we have slowly dismantled the old paradigm and have very slowly and perfectly created a new foundation that is built of Love & help, and we continue to build and we continue to dismantle any of the cracks or weak places of which are not solidly Love.


During this rather short period of time, relatively speaking, we have brought forth the Divine Feminine as we have let go of the rougher edges of the masculine patriarchy. The Divine Feminine is all about Unity and Love and Flow. The patriarchy was about duality and push/pull and separation. Feel the difference within you and you will know where you are. It is not either/or, for that would be more duality. it is a gentle movement that helps the patriarchy become One with the Divine Feminine, a marriage of God and Goddess Unity Consciousness.


As we continue to shift, so does Gaia. We are not done yet and neither is She. Remember that when the Earth releases energy, She reminds us to do the same. As we shift. She does. as She shifts, we do. Stay in your Center of Love without attachment to what is good or bad, but rather be in Acceptance that all is in Divine Order.

23rd/24th October 2014: Solar Eclipse in Scorpio conjunct Venus and Pallas: Traversing Divine Darkness by Sarah Varcas


 solar eclipse in Scorpio, solar eclipse October 2014, asteroid Pallas, Venus in Scorpio, Black Moon Lilith

23rd/24th October 2014:
Solar Eclipse in Scorpio conjunct
Venus and Pallas

Traversing Divine Darkness

by Sarah Varcas



The Solar Eclipse, flanked by Venus on one side and asteroid Pallas on the other, occurs at 9:45 pm GMT on 23rd October in the 1st degree of Scorpio. This eclipse feels paradoxical, for whilst it signifies a powerful drive inward for answers, forcing us to look beneath the sanitised surface of our lives for deeper and more penetrating truths, it does so in such a way that this depth journey can be pleasurable rather than scary, productively creative rather than underminingly confronting. Whatever it is we need to find in the shadows of this eclipse, we can do so without their revelation tearing us apart or disrupting current progress. As such this eclipse comes as a gift, even if its immediate fruits consist of an awakening to darker and more disturbing tendencies within us.


As mentioned, asteroid Pallas aligns with this eclipse. She is the warrior queen and arbiter of justice. She fights for equality and advocates balance. She pursues wholeness rather than polarisation and honesty rather than deference to an inaccurate but more widely accepted order. Pallas in Scorpio reminds us that we all have dark corners where monsters lurk, but she knows them as our most creative places and deepest sources of wisdom. To neglect them simply leaves us half-asleep and off the boil, like a radio not quite tuned in, full of static and interference. In alignment with this eclipse Pallas offers us sharpness of inner vision and the courage to use it. She doesn’t flinch at the sight of our inner terrain cast in shadow and icy cold from neglect. She simply looks at what she finds, knows it, accepts it and recognises that it is part of a greater whole which is easily vast enough to contain all things without shattering into pieces under the weight of the paradox. She knows the creativity at the heart of pain, the rebirth in the eye of trauma, the integrity at the centre of rage. She loves these aspects of who we are. They are her fuel for the journey into wholeness and authenticity. Without them we would be nothing.


Whilst Pallas bids us enter the labyrinth of our inner world, Venus assures us the journey can be a comfortable one no matter what we find there. If we tend to shy away from self-examination, if acknowledging our grief, fear, rage, pain, is usually too much, Venus takes our hand now and encourages us to give it a go, for we are safe in her company. Venus in Scorpio knows the depths and loves life there. She relishes the play of shadows in light, the tingle of the unknown, the seduction of forbidden passions and the thrill of the twilight world where security meets risk and the latter wins out. She is a treasured friend for us now, leading us into the darkness with a knowing smile and a certain but relaxed gait. There is nothing to fear, she whispers, even as she extinguishes the only flame we had to light the way. Safe between Venus and Pallas we are in the arms of the sacred feminine, entranced by the many faces of the Divine Mother. In this eclipse we meet the destructive face of Kali, the compassion of Kwan Yin, the purity of Mother Mary and the self-possession of The Magdalene. As the light of the Sun is eclipsed at the dark of the Moon we can let ourselves slip into these nether worlds as into a warm bath, fragrant and inviting, bidding us relax, let go and receive.


As heavenly bodies align to mark out this moment of time, Black Moon Lilith partners with Jupiter in Leo, a marriage of light and dark which gives birth to completeness. We cannot have one without the other, and yet so often the greatest block to living fully and without guile is the fear of what may arise from the darkness if we do. This eclipse bids us to relinquish fear and allow a deeper knowing of all that we are; to acknowledge the power of our emotions and desires, the very nature of our being. It bids us to look and listen, to feel into the darkness and claim what we find there as our own, not cast it as some interloper intruding on our purity and peace. Darkness does not destroy the light, it frames it and gives it form. Just as the Sun is eclipsed when conditions are right, so are we turned away from the light to look into the shadows. If we do so, when the light returns, we will view what lies there with new eyes and a bold heart, knowing that light and dark, right and wrong, good and bad, eventually all melt into the one which is all of them and none, beyond words that can bear witness and a mind that can comprehend.
