Current Astrology Using Hermetic Applications

 

 

Welcome to this issue’s Stellar Applications….

 

In this issue of PaganPagesOrg we are celebrating the Autumnal Equinox (aka. Mabon), the Second Harvest of the Fall.

 

The Autumnal Equinox heralds the start of new beginnings that take the form of returns to school, planning for the upcoming holiday seasons, cooler weather and the bounty of beauty that surrounds in nature with the kaleidoscopic falling of leaves.

This year’s date of the Equinox is Sat., Sept. 23rd @ 2:50am (EDT). If we look to the astronomical energies that are occurring we celebrate the space of balance between the waning light of the year and the waxing of the dark. The energy of Virgo readies itself as bridge and gateway to the opening of Libra as the transition is made from one solar month to the other. This is the action of the Mutable (Virgo) flexibility reaching out towards the Cardinal newly formed growth that is the balance of Libra. And for those moments in time when the midpoint of transfer of these energies is achieved we stand at the center of the Autumnal equinox; each being in balance with the other; equal day and equal night.

Additional astrological energy of note occurs on:

 

Pre-Equinox:

September 4: Jupiter stations retrograde in astrological and earthy Taurus

September 15: (already) Retrograde (Aug 23) Mercury stations direct in astrological and earthy Virgo

 

Equinox and Post:

Mid-point between New Moon of September 15^th in astrological and earthy Virgo

Full Moon of September 29th in astrological and fiery Aries

 

What’s the Application For You?

Keywords

Mercury: Communication – Agility – Intellect

Jupiter: Expansion – Ebb and Flow – Growth

 

The Autumnal Equinox provides us with a moment in time to stop-reflect and decide where we will place the bulk of our wishes towards manifesting a goal that will be of benefit to our manifest aspirations. The equinox falls within the power of Virgo, mutable earth that creates and re-forms. Retrograde Jupiter expands upon this energy so that we may reach further in our seeking.

Activities that will be in support of this Equinox and its astrological gifts are those reflective of earthy and manifest endeavors. Ritual that honors the earth, wildlife, physical health and endurance, bringing balance between work and family, environmental healing, etc.

Perhaps consider offering time to a community kitchen for homeless individuals, helping at a pet shelter walking dogs or clean-up, volunteering to hold newborns suffering from drug mother transmitted withdrawal, park clean-ups, neighborhood clean-ups, etc.

Make use of the Mercurial power of communication and spread the word about your experiences in volunteering, strengthening your body or wildlife assistance and see if others may be interested in joining in. Work to expand – Jupiter – the reach of your community’s work towards harmonious change, no matter how small or large the efforts-it all matters.

The reminder of this 2023 Autumnal Equinox is one of reflecting on what will establish a harmonious balance for you and the community of individuals who share your space. And, more importantly the impact that every individual has on what the potentiality of a future aligned with all life and our home planet of Earth could provide as support to humanity’s evolution.

 

Blessings of the Equinox
