Episode 6: Astrological Events of September 27 - October 3 2020
Push Me, Pull You: Searching for Our Deepest Truths
It’s a serious week. We pause and pull back as our minds turn inward and we consider the shadows, inner and outer. Knowing your elemental temperament will be a great asset to your process this week. We’ll all need to amplify self-care and attend to our stability. Consider your truth, be honest with yourself. Get clear inwardly on how you want to move forward in the outer world and tangibly be of service to yourself and others. The Full Moon will help illuminate the inner work we need to do - the secrets we keep from ourselves. If you encounter something troublesome, reach out to trusted others and dialogue through it. A conversation with a friend will lend support, even though it may feel uncomfortable going that deep. Getting feedback can help for an honest assessment. We’re being called to strengthen our internal structures and identify what we stand for. Step into yourself and leave no stone unturned. There’s a net gain to be had in digging for the truth and embracing all that it reveals.

Mercury on Our Minds: Seek Balance Within
This week Bronwyn and Rebecca focus on Mercury the Messenger and the Sensitive Moon, both traversing through some difficult territory. We struggle to maintain balance as revelations and conflicts in communication abound. A tough week, in all frankness. It’s best to take a beat and sort through our thoughts and ideas before we react. Stay conscious of how the news cycle replicates itself in your life on a personal level. Take a step back and contemplate. Purify your home environment and your mindscape as we prepare to dive into a period that will require us to have a rooted foundation. The time is upon us to change the structures that no longer serve us, but we need to have a solid base to grow from. Firm up and fortify. Best to consider an intelligent response before a scattered reaction.

Seeing and Not Seeing: Relying on Our Lunar Awareness
This week Bronwyn and Rebecca discuss the big event in the sky: a helpful super-charged New Moon in Virgo. In this dark phase of the Moon we are encouraged to listen to the physical embodiment of our intuition. Pay attention to hunches, insights and a feeling of “knowing”. It’s a good week to get rid of things that no longer serve us. Especially bad habits. We can set intentions by making a New Moon Wish List and committing to change what needs changing. The earthy grand trines offer us support and optimism, peppered with a few surprises.
