This week, we surf the Full Moon in the mutable air sign of Gemini, those tricky Twins. This super moon is amped by Sagittarius season’s bravado and largesse. It's Big Energy, and lots of teeter-totter, push ‘n pull as Gemini likes to play the opposition game. This forecast is a Collective Energy Update with intuitive pointers for our personal and shared evolution.

Take note! It’s another rich episode, like extra-dark chocolate mousse, with heaps of info. Pace yourself. Also, I'm traveling sans laptop, so bear with my limited technology, please. I’m confident the guidance is far from limited.

In this episode, I discuss: 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼👇

* The bombastic vibe of Sagittarius facing off with Gemini’s contrarion nature

* Remembering “the plot needs to move along”

* Telepathy and collective communication as the symbol of Gemini 14

* Codependence and coming out of the sludgy lies of conditioning

* The wakeup call to shed egoic identification and masochism

* The art of canceling plans and doing only that which you really want to do

* Watching for envy as you shine your light bright

* Adhering to higher law vs. morality

* Self-integrity as the gift that keeps on giving

* Satisfaction (Sanskrit: trpti) and true fulfillment (santosha) as the wealth of the universe

* Tips for staying sane in the hustle-bustle

* Handling rest, food, tantrums, offensiveness, hypersensitivity and more

What resonates about this Collective Energy Update? I’d love to hear! Wishing you a SANE and SATISFYING couple of weeks. See you in the comments!

Oh, and ‘tis the season! If you appreciate my work, consider an upgrade to paid to show your support. Thanks!

On September 21st, we welcome a New Moon Solar Eclipse in the mutable earth sign of Virgo, the Virgin. We are on the crux of the fall equinox, and this lunation is a potent punctuation point.

On Monday, September 22, the Sun enters Libra to welcome our fall season in the northern hemisphere. The Autumnal Equinox is a time where night equals day, and we concentrate on themes of balance. Yin and yang. Male and female. You and me.

Balance is a tricky subject. It’s not equal, or is it? It’s definitely not the same. How does the masculine complement the feminine, and vice versa, regardless of gender?

This is both an inside job and an outside piece of work. Surely, you already know when you feel off, or if the world feels off. But what can we do about it? How to address the lack of harmony and come back into resonance?

Today’s episode is a special excerpt taken from my September 18th inaugural Truth and Consciousness Live call, exclusive for paid subscribers. Thank you to everyone who joined, and if you’re called, simply upgrade to be on the next one!

In this episode, I discuss: 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼👇🏾

* Embodied awareness and arising of difficulty in the collective

* Love as a cultivation of awareness, allowing and acceptance

* Learning to make requests vs. demands in relationship

* How the feminine appeals to the masculine for assistance

* Creating space for the feminine to relax and receive

* Negotiation vs. compromise in oneself and with other

* Holding the tension for alchemical solutions to emerge

What did you think of this episode? I’d love to hear!

I’m wishing you all a beautiful entry into autumn. Look for eagles, migrating songbirds, and rainbows!

With love,

Erin

THIS WEEKEND, we welcome a Full Moon Total Eclipse in the mutable water sign of dreamy, sensitive Pisces, the Fish.

As with all eclipses, karmic happenings are likely to float in through (or out of!) the window. But there’s nothing to fear: it’s all right on time, and whatever leaves is no longer needed. With the right attitude, you’ll be nourished on many levels at this lunation.

In this episode, I discuss: 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼👇🏾

* The flow of INSPIRATION and receptivity of creative GENIUS at the full moon, exact on Sunday, September 7th at 11:07 a.m. Pacific

* The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse at 15° 22’ Pisces: “In the quiet of his study, a creative individual experiences a flow of inspiration”

* The importance of REST, relaxation and DREAMTIME

* Pisces, Neptune and the 12th House relationship to ONENESS and the NON-DUAL

* DOMESTICITY and enjoyment at home helped by Jupiter in Cancer

* The need for TENDERNESS while experiencing ENDINGS, finishing up chapters, and letting go

* The Virgo-Pisces Nodal Axis and release of outdated HABITS

* The art of NEGOTIATION (vs. compromise) in 1:1 relationships

* The role of HUMOR, comics and fools in our culture

* “I’M JUST PASSING THROUGH” and the art of non-attachment

* Scorpionic goddesses aid, offering ease in SHADOW WORK

Rest and flow are of the utmost importance, supported by quiet and creative time alone. Sleep and dream as much as you can - you’ll need it later in September.

Lots of goodies in this episode, so take time and rewind. I appreciate you sharing it with others!

Sending you sweet dreams and harmony at home. Remember to whistle while you work - and while you play!

Musical inspo - Stevie Nicks came to me in a dream last night! She was wearing a leotard and wide-brimmed black hat, ballet dancing to this underrated track from Fleetwood Mac’s 1982 Mirage album. I hope you enjoy, “That’s Alright,” written by Nicks in 1974. I love it as an alternative to the overplayed yet dearly beloved “Dreams.”

THIS WEEKEND, say hello to the New Moon in the mutable earth sign of Virgo, pragmatic sign of discernment, diligence, and discrimination.

Virgo is down-to-earth and handy. I’m always a bit envious of my double-Virgo sister, an architect in Berlin, Germany. I adore her get-it-done practicality and organization. What’s not to love about style, an eye for detail, and the ability to build a whole house!

This lunation is AN ADJUSTMENT PERIOD. It is showing us where we need to do our clean-up work, clearing the clutter of our inner and outer lives. We need to roll up our sleeves, even if it feels like a slog. The direction and meaningfulness will reveal itself by mid-September, if we heed the call. It’s time to put one foot in front of the other and find creative ways to apply solutions to problems. And remember to play. Crank up that stereo or at least, whistle while you work!

In this episode, I discuss: 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼👇🏾

Thanks for reading Truth and Consciousness with Erin Reese! This post is public so feel free to share it.

* Virgo’s emphasis on critiquing, fixing, cleaning, sorting, service, fortitude, and humility

* The energies of the adjustment period and the “fickle finger of fate” challenge of the yod aspect

* The need for creative approaches that require alchemy and blending of elements that normally do not match

* The Sabian Symbol of 1 degree Virgo, “The image of a man’s head” and the importance of the mind following the instinct of the body

* Delays in “back to school” energies and remaining flexible in new beginnings

* Virgo’s rulership of small animals and pets and their role in staying grounded

* Embodiment and its wisdom role in timing, decision-making, and ease

* Clearing the clutter of our lives to make way for our next chapter

The next four weeks are Virgoan to the MAX. It is my hope that this episode helps you prepare and feel less alone as you apply yourself to the tasks at hand. Remember to keep your sense of humor, and know you are not alone. All of this is right on time, and we are being supported by Good Orderly Direction of the multiverse.

THIS WEEKEND, we welcome a Full Moon in the fixed air sign of Aquarius, the revolutionary Water Bearer. Aquarius is here to shake us up and tell the truth, no matter what. This is for our evolutionary benefit. We’ve been stuck or in denial, personally or collectively, and it’s time for some good, old-fashioned LIBERATION. Honest conversations are happening!

For the rest of August, we will be influenced by this lunation. It’s a time of significant, creative change amplified by new information, transparency, and revealed secrets. Get ready for a helluva show on the home front or in the media that warrants an Academy Award with its wild yet perfect orchestration.

Not only that, we have a collective archetypal emergence - that of the Inner Teenager. It’s a whole new world!

In this episode, I discuss: 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼

* The influence of Aquarius helping us get in touch with our misfit, outcast, or rebel, and LIBERATION

* Blazing new trails and entering the future by speaking the TRUTH, even when uncomfortable or disruptive

* The grand air trine of Pluto, Uranus, and Mars bringing TRANSPARENCY - new data, new information, and secrets come to light

* Confrontations and UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS that will challenge us and others

* Mars in Libra putting things back into balance, setting things right, and coming out of denial to bring NATURAL JUSTICE

* The liberation of HUMANITY that requires standing up to elites and anyone abusing power

* The role of the INNER TEENAGER - an important archetypal evolution emerging now - and Aquarius’ relationship with this developmental stage

* Jupiter conjunct Venus in Cancer and the gift of HOME as a protective, nurturing base

* The need for PROTECTION and the vulnerability we experience when our LIGHT gets brighter

* The Sabian Symbol of Aquarius 17 - A WATCHDOG guarding his master and possessions

* The ENLIGHTENMENT energy available this August when we remain conscious and available for it

This is a high-voltage time filled with promise and possibility - for those who are paying attention and are willing to do the work. Waking up and clearing old, stagnant forces out of the field offers much reward. Remember, you are not alone. There are allies afoot - seen and unseen protectors. Don’t forget!

This is an extra-rich episode, so you may want to listen a couple of times. I appreciate you sharing it with others. And, I mention an upcoming perk for paid subscribers (thank you to those who put a little gas in this tank - it truly keeps me going for everyone, for the collective).

I’m sending you love, happiness, and a starbeam of Aquarian awe.

Today, we welcome a New Moon in the fixed fire sign of Leo the Lion. Our proud King of the Jungle rules matters of the personal heart, creativity, and leadership. Leo asks us to shine, offering us confidence to self-express in an authentic and noteworthy fashion.

This New Moon is all Fire and Air. It’s a positive time, yet the archetypal configuration requires us to go through a big death process while bringing in a new way of living. This change is coming from the outside - the outer planets Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus are conspiring to pull, push, and provoke us forward. Like it or not, we’re being placed in a new situation that is more reflective of our true heart’s wants, needs, and desires. We need to have faith and trust while pacing ourselves and most importantly, keep a spirit of PLAYFULNESS!

In this episode, I discuss: 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼

* The significant death and letting-go influence of Pluto opposing our New Moon

* How you might be catapulted into the next chapter of yor life.

* A preponderance of fire and air and the challenge of pacing or slowing down

* The need for breakthrough and breakout energies to allow our souls to thrive

* How 2020-2022 and Covid represented a clearing out and larger ending of our cultural understanding

* Freedom and independence in the Sabian Symbols of the New Moon in Leo (“A woman bobbing her hair”) and Pluto in Aquarius (“A deserter from the Navy”)

* Pluto in Aquarius and how the Internet is equivalent to the invention of the printing press and massive paradigm shift

* Mercury retrograde and how to be in the game without banging your head against the wall

* The myth of Daedalus and Icarus and the risk of flying too close to the Sun

* The importance of play and sport in overcoming challenges and cultivating character and strength

We’re in this together. Go easy on yourself. Life is asking us to take a leap, break away from old roles and conditioning, and learn sticky lessons. Would you judge a kid for trying things and not having it perfect right away? No! So be gentle, playful, and curious about this great unfolding. Listen to your body - it’s the best piece of data you have, and it’s always with you.
