Aria Sparrowsong's TAROT AND STARS

I gotta say that this is one of my happiest times of the year--I am so over the heat and way ready for cooler temperatures, more temperate days. The other season is Spring at the Vernal or Spring Equinox--the end of March or beginning of April. These two days of the year are when the day and the night are equal; there is the balance of light and dark. Right now, as the days progress through the latter part of September, they will get shorter and shorter. This is the Second Harvest and the Feast of the New Wine. It is time to be grateful for our prosperity and abundance and to give thanks for it. Truly it is a Witch's Thanksgiving! Count your blessings and if you have extra, give to those in need. Prepare for the dark times, the winter is coming, indeed, it is right around the corner. The Goddesses that come to mind to represent this time of year are Persephone, Lakshmi, Fortuna, the Morrighan, Isis, Ishtar, Ceridwen. Invoke them in your prayers, meditations and spellwork.

 The equal time of equal dark and light. The second harvest. The time of the new wine, red and bold. I love this time of year, just as colorful as the springtime. The color wheels are different but stunning just the same. I hope your days this coming week are beautiful and wishing the best to all of you! Much more to come! And very happy that 2020 is almost over!  The first half of 2020 has been a wild and crazy time so far and it doesn't matter what astrological sign anyone is, this has affected everyone on the planet. This year has been quite a cosmic shift and a brand new awakening for so many of us! And the crazy is not over yet. The fiery and war-like Mars will be retrograde in it's own sign of Aries from September 9th until November 13th. Expect to be challenged personally with your ability to keep the peace, stay calm and control of your temper. The news of the day will reflect the Martian themes of impulsiveness, war and conflict.  Mars squaring Saturn and Pl...

So the wheel turns yet again and our year is over half completed now. The Full Moon in Aquarius will arrive close to High Noon on Monday, August 3rd. Aquarius is the sign of your world view, high tech everything, concern for humanity and humankind. And Lughnasadh is our First Harvest, welcoming the corn, the wheat, the eventual ending of Summer and happy times. The Sun will be squared the planet of Uranus so be looking for some unexpected happenings and be prepared for sudden and abrupt changes. The energy on this day will be electrical and it is the beginning of the Lion's Gate / Stargate that will last until August 13th. You can check out the video with more information about that HERE  by Magenta Pixie.  The Full Moon will be squared Uranus, Mercury will be opposite Saturn, soooo, expect some restrictions that could drive you crazy depending on where your Mars, Uranus and Saturn are placed in your Natal chart. Mars is also squared Jupiter and Jupiter is sextile Neptune. Dre...
