The Gifts of this Fall Equinox

5 min read

I’m really feeling into what gifts this fall equinox has for me. I have to admit, that what I’ve found online hasn’t been as gratifying as it usually is. And so it’s left me to write it up and feel it out myself. I’m looking to all the aspects of my life for inspiration. What’s been happening for me? What am I hoping will happen for me? What do the numbers mean? Where are the energies in the world and the cosmos? How are they meshing with mine?

One thing I’ve decided is that today, as an equinox is a day of both stillness and action. My morning and early afternoon have been still. I’ve sat on this couch and processed a lot. I’ve shared things and have intuited things and have felt into things.

I knew though that today would be a day of action also. Today I begin my moving. On this rainy, seemingly inopportune day, I begin steps into the direction of newness.

It’s scary and it’s not easy. But it’s very doable. And perspective has everything to do with it. It begs the question of where is your perspective. It’s so important to be constantly checking in with yourself about that. Where is your perspective? If it’s not where you want it, why? Are you having trouble shifting? Why are you having trouble shifting? Is there something you can do to help the shift? (Like go get some food and water? *talking to myself right now 😉).

The most important thing I’ve found is that broadening my perspective is always the key. Even now, as I ease off of a narrow focus and remember all the possibilities that are before me, I float up into more peace of mind. I rise into a more stable and secure place. And it feels really, really good here.

If you remember nothing else about allowing yourself to rise, remember that it feels really, really good. Changing your perspective and allowing for that *what if it all worked out; what if that completely unrealistic thing actually happened* thought to take up space, feels good and it’s fuel. Because the rest of life is still here. It’s still happening. It still requires our presence in its space. Feeling good while in its space can make all the difference.

And so my intentions as the wheel turns this equinox

*Allow my what ifs to take up a lot more space

*Engage my Divine Masculine self and DO what I am feeling a call to do. Just do it. Why not.

*Engage my Divine Feminine self in being kind enough to myself to let the doing take time. Doing doesn’t mean DO IT ALL TODAY. Doing means stay steady with the doing.

*Start embracing my wildly, ridiculously and unrealistically bright and shiny self again. Post all the positive quotes around my house. Dance around and make sexy eyes with my mirrors. Smiley face and exclamation point my electronic messages away with abandonment. It’s for me. Do it for me. Do it just because *I am giving myself life*. Feel no obligation to anyone to fill their cup. This is about my own cup.

*Spill over with intentionality and embodiment into my new physical space. Even if it’s minimalist in its presentation and I have to disappoint myself and others in the process – let it all be me.

*EXPECT THE BEST. PLOT TWIST THE REST. PERIOD. Ok high priestess. Ok.

*Be excited about every emotion. I get to feel them. The highs and the lows. At the least, it’s fuel for writing. At best, it’s fuel for living.

*Keep my magick alive. Ritual, incense, flowers, candles and herbs. Their tangible matter matters to me. Invoke with them with meditation and quiet time for me. I matter to me. Keep reminding myself of this and keep reminding myself that I get to take up space for this.

I’m breathing in deep breaths of welcoming the changes and giving more weight to who this new me is. I’m settling her into me and inviting her to stay. Let’s get cozy this fall <3.

My own #Fallequinox reading for today💕 1. What's in the way?☀️ 2. How can I use this Equinox.energy to move it out of the way☀️ 3. How can I bring in the money honey (2 cards popped out!)☀️ 1..so easy, stuck in stagnation. Stuck in waiting for more signs. Stuck in non-action. Stuck in my head. It's time to let it not be so deep that you get stuck in the cosmic mud. It's time to go. It's time to take action from a godly place. It's time to know you know. Yes high priestess (from yesterday), I hear you *eye rolling behind her back*😁 2. What are you afraid that they'll know? Your story is probably their story. Your story is probably giving them life and validation, comfort and resonance. And you put it out there on a regular anyway. What, I ask you again, are you afraid of? 👀 ⚡3. Two card bonus! This one is tricky because the bigger question is not just where is the money, but what juxtaposition is going to create joy in my own heart, money in my personal bank and healing for the people I serve. I put some things out there and they aren't the right things because no one has taken me up on them. That's completely fine because the journey is about testing. So the advice on cutting the cords of doubt and choosing who I'm becoming is so solid. I know who it is I am becoming. This beautiful mercury in Virgo season has helped to refine that awesomely. I even have a plan in place sort of. But I doubt it regularly because it's rather elusive. And that's one thing I need to cut. And I need to cut the belief that I am becoming who I'm choosing to become in only one way. If that one way isn't reaching people, then there's another way. But it doesn't change the core of who I am becoming as long as I stay clear on who I am becoming :-).#cutitout👏👏🏋️‍♀️ #WoowooBizLifeadvice
