As we move into the Autumn and the descent into the Autumn Equinox we find all of the giants in the heavens are stalling to allow us look back over our shoulder and take a view in hindsight. Are we happy with what we see or when we look back can we see a pattern forming of how we learn, grow and expand our way of living so as to settle into a place of comfort rather than listening too much to what is happening outside? This is what the planets are lining up to tell us.

This is not a time to push or allow yourself be pushed. A pause allows us re- entry into a part of our consciousness that has awakened. We can access a deeper part of ourselves, much like opening an old diary we once had with a key that we discover. We delve into it and read a part of our history that suggests we have forgotten pieces to our personality and to ourselves that we can look at once more. This reverse path if you like is allowing us walk back down an old road and maybe an ancient one, to gather information for a journey ahead (Spring 2023). This does not mean we cannot continue with our hopes and dreams and best laid plans and all that. Indeed if we are in a new relationship or business it may throw up old patterns for us to look at but there is a bigger picture at play allowing us the gift of foresight and insight through hindsight! Trust and faith are the big players in the coming months ahead.

Over the coming months Jupiter and Mercury will play a big part in the world at large as communication is expanded and what we hear and see may be smokescreens for something else. An end game if you like. Do not be bound by fear mongering or what we may be shown is the ‘truth’. I have said it before and will say it again as so many do, there are no shortages on Earth. There never is. There is no reason to believe we are lacking. But if that is what is needed to sell an idea we may find we are being given this wisdom (Jupiter) through the lower mind (Mercury) and gossip, media and fear mongering of those who would wish to spread it like a fertilizer to see how it grows!

Those who are vulnerable will need to be lifted. Be that one who raises the vibration of those around you with your positive heart and open mind. Do not add to the woes of those who worry. Rather see it as your opportunity to lift someone out of the depths of their despair and whilst not preaching a new way, maybe a gentle hand of hope and the gift of laughter will start to shift their beliefs. Too much information flows now. We need to reign it in and bring the simple task of listening back into our daily lives.

Jupiter is the Joy we need but it is a marker in the heavens as it will come up against Mercury this year with its opposition and it may mean you have to decide what is this wisdom or what are my beliefs? Do I choose to be so gullible that I just consume what I am given or do I now move away from being a consumer to be a more self sufficent person not only in what I eat but what I consume as truth. Manmade is changing to self made and that will be hard for some to let go of, especially the big industry, cogs and wheels that need us to keep them going. They will not let go lightly!

There are some beautiful aspects of the coming weeks ahead and we will want to stay in those parts of ourselves that give us comfort. Uranus in Taurus in retrograde may want us to go back over old ground in relationships or very earthly cares and concerns in a new innovative way. Maybe it can work this way or that way. Who says there is a rule book anyway! Look closely at how you painted your life and see maybe I am different! Maybe its ok to be different or unique even! A lot of people are! The gift of Uranus in the sign of Taurus for the next six years (seven in total) is that it is a change of life cycle and we are really in this now. No going back!

Pluto in Capricorn will pull out all those weeds that were well hidden and it will not leave a stone unturned. Say what you like about Capricorn (Saturn) but it is the master of hard work and authority and its task during all this has been to go into the Akashic records (Pluto) and pull apart old foundations. This is a clean slate we are starting with as we approach the Spring of 2023.

Saturn in Aquarius also has been the big story since last year and continues to be so. Its pause now is a chance to take a breather and look at what has happened in the past few years. A life review. Almost with a clinical eye but an open heart. No blame or shame that is what this aspect is clearing so keep it light but keep it honest. Maybe a life review actually brings you through deeply held beliefs from your old (parallel) lives. The shame of the divine feminine and the blame it held for the formation of a new world was insurance for those who could say it was lower, ugly, bad or not connected to the divine. As women especially we would have been part of the formation of an old world with our divine feminine in shadow. Now beloved, start to prepare. Start to believe. Start to stand up and been seen. It is scary as a woman. It is very scary. Because so many times the truly divine feminine that resides in both men and women has been the victim.

Neptune in Pisces the dreamer! Going back into dreams. Going into old memories of not even this life but others! See what your dreams hold and if you can make sense of them and do not worry if you cant. Just allow them to be and to acknowledge their assistance in clearing the psychic channels you hold. No one is out there to get us! No one is going to stop you being you only You. This is the conundrum of the new world. Can we start to believe in the divine identity we hold once more? I think we can and we are witnessing it with those people we meet perhaps.

Over the coming months the divine feminine is shedding. In a big way. As planets begin to move forward in October especially we will see revelation around all of this. But can we prepare ourselves for the truth of what comes out. On the world stage but more importantly in our own truth. For all the times you had to be manipulated as a woman in this life and others, to be blamed for the use of your gifts or have them used or manipulated against you, these weeks ahead are a turning point. Primarily it is women and young people who will bring the new world to be seen. It is men who will need to open their hearts and be held. And we can do this. We have been doing it for a long long time it is just in another atmosphere of a new world.

Mother is Home and she has never left. We needed to grow and come back and find her again that is all.
