As the Autumn Leaves Begin to Fall…
Autumn is the catalyst for transformation. As summer draws to a close, the days grow shorter and the leaves begin to change. We see the natural environment around us slowly begin to transform, from what was once green, lush grass and trees, to vibrant yellows, orange and reds. Then slowly all colour will fade, before the shedding of what no longer serves. After all, Autumn is a time for change. This is a beautiful, yet uncomfortable time. As you watch the changing, dying leaves around you, it is no wonder that you find yourself reminiscing about what once was and what could have been. The environment gently nudges you that it is time to let go. Prepare for the longer, darker nights ahead, when you will be allowed the time to recuperate and heal.
A Time of Change and Transformation…
During this Autumn eclipse, ask yourself, what do I need to shed? What feelings, habits and deep-rooted beliefs do I need to let go of? What needs to evolve? Astrologically, everything is in perfect alignment for these energies to change, but you have to choose it. Focus your intention on what you want to release, and what you want to allow in in return. To let in the new, you have to make room for it. So, whether you are harbouring feelings of heartache for a lost love, anger at a person or situation, or perhaps feelings of guilt or regret, it is time to take a closer look. Allow yourself to feel without judgement and accept it for what it is. Do not run from it, but instead give it the voice and the recognition that it needs.
It is easy to burry your head in the sand, to refuse to look at what is screaming to be looked at, to even make your way through what could be called the 7 deadly sins, trying to numb it and run from it. But you can’t stay here forever. It is time for you to heal. So, what are you waiting for? Autumn is a time for change. It is time to find yourself again.
