Weekend Forecast
Mercury, the Messenger of God, in the sign of Scales of Balance and Justice, Libra is setting the stage from now until October 2nd, when we have the Annular Solar Eclipse in Libra.
Mercury, the planet that rules the mind, communication and commerce enters the Heart of the Sun, in Cazimi on September 30th. The mind becomes illuminated with new information, ideas, thoughts, dreams, solutions, insights and clarity about the path ahead. Downloads of information are possible in the form of intuition, signs, dreams, synchronicities and meaningful conversations. The Divine is always speaking to us, pay attention. Eclipses are doorways that bring new people, places, circumstances, situations and spiritual lessons into our lives. However, an eclipse can also signal endings. Notice your life, and what it is saying to you. Notice your Aries and Libra placements.
From now through the Mercury Cazimi, it’s a great time to journal and meditate. Clear your mind and open your heart. Connect your mind to the Divine. Pray. Listen. And above all…breathe. Remember to pause and let life in. No matter what is going on in our lives, we can always pause and breathe. Pay attention and listen to life.
The Balance
I was praying and contemplating today before writing this, asking the Universe/God what I should write about in regards to the current Astrology as there is so, so much going on that I could write about. What came to me was the Egyptian myth of the weighting of a feather at the moment of death…
Essentially (please do check Wikipedia or some reliable source you like for a more in-depth look at the myth), the heart is said to hold all the information of a person’s life, every good deed and every bad deed…and at the moment of death, we stand before Divinity and our heart is weighted on a balance against a single feather (symbolic of Truth and Justice). If our heart is Light, then we get to cross to paradise but if our heart is heavy then we are lead into the dark, underworld.
I meditated on this image given to us and the fact that the Solar Eclipse is a south nodal Eclipse in the sign Libra (the Scale of Balance and Justice) really stood out to me.
A South Nodal Eclipse represents an opportunity to let something go. There’s an opportunity for redemption and forgiveness. The South node represents our past deeds and spiritual lessons across time and space. This Eclipse gives us an opportunity to imagine what it would be like to stand before God/Universe and the Sacred Scale that weights our heart. Would your heart be heavy? Or would your heart be Light?
If the heart is heavy…What is heavy in your heart? What load are you carrying that perhaps its time to put on the ground and walk away from? Notice what you are carrying. This Eclipse gives us the opportunity to practice Mercy.
Mercy for ourselves and others by no longer carrying the heavy loads in our heart…but instead giving them to God/Universe. Imagine how Lighter you would feel? If you could put all the burdens and loads on the Hands of the Divine and just walk away from them…I am sure, that Mercy would be granted to all who ask…ask in your next inhale, and let it go and give it Up in your next exhale…do it again and again…till all the loads are placed in the Hands of the Divine.
The Libra Solar Eclipse is an opportunity to restore balance in our hearts. To invite our hearts to be lighter. May your heart be Lighter. May the hearts of every sentient being be Lighter. May we be Light as a feather.
