May this Aires Lunar Eclipse Empower Us to Move in Healthier Directions!

On the 18th of October we shall have a Lunar Eclipse in Aires at the timing of a Full Moon.  It is an auspicious time for the Ashland  area, the ending of a 500 year cycle that began with the Renaissance and the growing power of religions to control the world, with little regard for creative, original thought.
   Mars will be in Virgo, helping us be able to focus on details, be more altruistic and open to being of service.  Mars will be there till after Christmas.
   Uranus rules Aquarius, and is about freedom, diplomacy, and individual rights, so hopefully our collective consciousness will be changing so we can rise above what has been holding us back.  We can send energy to our government and leaders throughout the world so the polarization and deadlocks can evolve into more expansive, nurturing, cooperative energies; Jupiter in Cancer will assist this transition.  The planets are working for us so we can take back our power, and really be co-creators as we enter the next 500 years.
   This is a good time to tap into elemental energies-the sun, the moon, the Earth, the rivers and oceans, the seasonal changes that are changing due to global warming, too.  If you care to call on angels, spirit guides, whatever speaks to you in nature, they are all here to help us evolve so we can move beyond our right/wrong mindsets.  New meanings in our inner world and the outer one too will be revealed if we are sensitive and ask ourselves, "How are these changes a gift?"  This means letting go being reactive like victims, and taking responsibility for our personal and collective choices.  Energy has been very intense and dramatic, unsettling for almost all of us.  We have had grace to help us through these dark times, and it is a time for a big shift in our consciousness.
   So stay open, curious, and optimistic...patient too, for better times shall be ahead of us, and we are not alone; the planets, stars, even asteroids are actively helping us with the changes that need to happen in the months and years to come.
