An Equinox at the New Moon – a Chance to Claim your Heart’s Desire

The symbolism of occasions such as this has meaning, always. These alignments concern precision and balance in the relationship between day and night, light and dark, Sun and Moon, and endings and beginnings, but they are made ambiguous by the involvement, this time, of the lunar mysteries of every New Moon. The straightforwardness of the Equinox is undermined and its meaning cast into doubt: nothing is as it appears, and it is fitting that Mercury is preparing to go retrograde imminently.

Her agents in nature know what is coming as the trees shed, or assume, their leafy garments and birds and animals respond to the call of change. In many parts of Britain a long summer continues still, but despite the heat and because of the time of year, the natural rhythm of life goes on, aware of the weather but focused on the season and the cycle and what must be done. Perhaps that is the meaning of the conjunction of the Equinox and the New Moon this week? We are reminded that beneath the outer reality of solar calculations and their impact on Earth there is a natural rhythm to existence which is unfathomable unless we are aligned with nature, something that, were we to achieve it, would end our striving and wanting and bring fulfillment. As you stand at the cusp of transition in so many ways, it is the perfect time to claim your heart’s desire.   [byline]  ]]>
