Happy Equinox everyone! The Equinox became exact at 9:31 AM EDT (13:31 GMT) this morning (Tuesday, September 22).
Each time the season turns, it is a cause for celebration! In the Pagan tradition, the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere is called Mabon. It is a festival celebrating the middle of harvest season—a time to give thanks for and to indulge in the Abundance of crops available to consume.
You can take this literally and indulge in healthy fall fruits and vegetables like squashes and apples! Also, you can take this figuratively and give thanks for all the Abundance in your life right now.
Look in your refrigerator. Is it full of food? Visit your local supermarket—is it teeming with aisles and aisles of delicacies from around the world? This is really quite a miracle, but we often take it for granted. There are billions of people around the world who can barely afford to feed themselves and their families, and even then, they may only be able to survive by eating a meager diet of rice or junk processed foods.
Do you have friends and family in your life right now? I know, you want more friends and a new family (LOL), but on this Equinox, give thanks for the friends and family that you do have. Most of our Soul Lessons are worked out in relationships. No one comes into your life by accident. No one. So give thanks to Creator/God/Source for all of the social connections in your life, be them in person or online.
A great practical exercise you can do to honor the Equinox is to make a gratitude journal or at least a single gratitude list. Write down at least 25 things you are grateful for (they can be anything). This can be a daily practice if you wish.
FINDING THE BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE
During the Equinox, day and night are of approximately equal length everywhere on the planet! This only happens twice a year. So on this celestial event of day and night being in perfect equal harmony, are you in perfect equal harmony?
If you had to guess, which side of you is more dominant: the intuitive, emotional Divine Feminine side or the logical, practical Divine Masculine side? Also, which side of you requires more healing: the Shadow Masculine (which can manifest as overagressiveness, greed, narcissism, or impatience) or the Shadow Feminine (martyrdom, codependency, playing small, afraid to say no)?
Does your physical life feel like it is in balance? For Lightworkers, it is often more comfortable for us to 'get our stuff together' in our meditation and spiritual practices, but our grounded 3D life can remain out of sorts. If you want to truly make it to 5D and be able to stay there consistently, you'll need to get your 3D life in order so that it naturally becomes a 5D life. Here are some other Equinox-themed questions of self-inquiry that you can ask yourself. It might be helpful to journal on these:
-- Am I as grounded as I am idealistic?
-- Do I spend as much time taking care of my present-time Earthly responsibilities as I do meditating, reading spiritual books, or doing other spiritual things? Or, conversely, am I not allowing enough time for myself to focus on my spiritual life?
-- Do I spend enough time expressing myself artistically or creatively on a consistent basis?
-- Am I taking the best care of my physical body? Does my diet need to be cleaned up? Am I drinking the cleanest water? I am exercising daily? Am I sleeping enough? Are there health issues that need to be addressed? -- Am I balancing time spent on social media or my phone with time spent outdoors connecting with nature?
-- Do I spend as much time appreciating all that I have now as I do dreaming of more, desiring more, or being jealous of those who have more?
-- Do I spend as much time loving myself as I do giving love to others?
-- Do I spend enough time taking care of myself? Do I spend too much time taking care of others? -- Do I give and receive equally? -- Do I allow myself time to relax to balance out the time I spend working hard?
-- If I had to guess, which side of me needs most of my attention right now? The physical? Mental? Emotional? Or spiritual?
MASSIVE UPGRADES ARE UNDERWAY PREPARING US FOR THE GRAND CONJUNCTION
This Equinox gateway has brought with it a monumental influx of high frequencies emanating from the sun and the Galactic Sun. These energies are bringing swift and permanent changes in the frequency of the planet and preparing us for the rest of the 'roaring 20s' to come.
Next year is going to be an amazing year to be alive on Planet Earth. The 'teens' have been a time when the energetic structures on this planet (and in our solar system) have been completely restructured in order to set up for the New Earth Architecture which is going to begin to manifest in earnest in the 2020s. We will start to see shifts in policies, as the consciousnesses of governments will begin to align with the new aggregate consciousness of the people of Earth. We will see a shift in the financial system from a fiat system that is structured to maintain power and control to a cryptocurrency-based system that allows for a planet where everyone can thrive. Whether this shift in the financial system will be complete by the conclusion of the 2020s will remain to be seen, however I do predict that the shift will at the very least begin in the decade to come.
ASCENSION SYMPTOMS EXACERBATED The frequencies are extremely high right now, so if you've been feeling out of sorts physically, mentally, or emotionally, then you're not alone! The energies flowing in from our Sun right now are at an extremely high frequency, as we are being prepared for the Grand Conjunction to occur on the upcoming Solstice. Spend time in nature, sleep lots and drink lots of water. Your angels are here to support you <3 Blessings to all beings on this Equinox!
With Love,
