Sunday ~ Venus aligns with Jupiter overnight. Count your blessings and gifts. This is loving, abundant, expansive energy and may benefit relationships. Virgo and Taurus, this is hosted in your signs. Void Moon 2:00 am to 2:06 am ET, worth noting maybe because it's such a short void Moon. If you happen to be awake for it, notice anything unusual...Aquarius Moon time follows and often encourages gatherings and co-working. The Moon squares planets in Taurus and Scorpio today, which may foreshadow the upcoming lunar eclipse. Be aware of sharp edges and extremes in yourself and others. Would it be worth smoothing something over? Can you do so without giving up your ideals and your individuality? Mercury enters Scorpio, and mysteries and investigations, secrets and intense conversations are highlighted for the month ahead. Mercury aligns with Saturn in Pisces and emotional discussions and decisions are two of the results. Today's events and interactions will likely leave long term impressions. Wear Blue.

Monday ~ Aquarius Moon squares Uranus. We may question or be questioned about our identity and ideals. There may be resistance to or uncertainty about how we appear, such as how much to stand out vs blend in. Radical changes may not be the route to take today. There's likely some sense of upheaval, non conformity, and sudden change is in the air. Though we must often respond to things, can this be done methodically and intentionally, and not overly impulsively? At 12:21 pm ET, the Sun moves to Scorpio. Born today, you are on the exact cusp. Days get noticeably darker now, even before the time change in early November. This affects our mind, our third eye, our sense of well being. Get any kind of light therapy as needed including infrared light, SAD light box, and sunlight in the mornings especially. Check in on anyone you're concerned about. Void Moon 3 pm on. Today's color is Turquoise.

Tuesday ~ Void Moon time ends at 4:33 am ET. These in between times can be likened to a waiting room or to losing sense of direction. If you feel like yesterday slipped by, that could be why. Sun and Saturn form a trine in Scorpio/Pisces overnight. Expressive and serious about it, this may come out in words and actions of an emotional nature. Do not dismiss your own or others' feelings. Listen and process what you're hearing. The Moon also meets Saturn. Saturn tells us to get a handle on things and not let them get out of control. Take things seriously and heed your own inner wisdom. Saturn is the planet of elders, experience and discretion. Note any of those words for clues to how this is coming up for you. The Moon harmonizes with the Sun, Mars and Mercury in Scorpio and with Jupiter in Taurus. It's a sign of making things happen, harmoniously and readily. Allow for the change, let something take its' course and grasp opportunities that feel right. Today's color is Indigo.

Wednesday ~ Pisces Moon opposite Venus, aligns with Uranus and meets Neptune today. I feel this could be highly creative. Immerse in your art form. There's also a love and relationship aspect. Romance is heightened. Emotional boundaries may dissolve or reduce. Opposites attract. Things like feelings may come up quite suddenly. Light Green is today's color.

Thursday ~ We are in the foreshadow of Saturday's Lunar Eclipse. Void Moon 2:39 am to 6:02 am ET. The Moon is in Aries now, and though there are no major aspects, there's a sense of action and maybe urgency with due dates approaching and perhaps a sense that something is happening though we're not sure quite what it is or what is implicated. Breathe well, practice patience and act with wisdom where actions are called for. Red is today's color. 

Friday ~ Aries Moon continues sort of 'quietly' with no planetary aspects. Notice if your inner fire feels balance, not too dim not too raging. Ths sense of steadiness, with just the right amount of energy,drive and push, can help us through challenging eclipse shifts. All shifts create stress, even the positive ones. Take good care of you. Be sensitive to others. Aries is the sign of 'me', so try not to be self centered and consider the difference between self centered and self aware, between self care and selfishness. Focus on how to share of yourself and your blessings while keeping healthy boundaries. Try some restorative type of yoga or guided meditation during this day and this season. It can really help short and long term, particularly if you're trying to change your inner narrative, hoping to release anxiety and lift yourself up. Today's color is Orange.

Saturday ~ Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Taurus at 4:24 pm ET. This eclipse at 5 degrees Taurus occurs on a day of other oppositions. Mars and Mercury in Scorpio oppose Jupiter, magnifying disagreements and making honest communication VERY important. Secrets or hidden feelings will come to the surface. Anger could be an issue to contend with. One symbol for this eclipse is a bridge over a deep gorge. Ideally we can trust that bridge and cross over, making the necessary shift. There's also chances of trying to take shortcuts or not being able to trust what must support us and our journey. Feel into that and see where you land. Eclipse vibrations will be felt strongly for another month and vibrate for 6 months until our next pair of eclipses. Change is necessary. Is this your time? Matters of money, employment, land, real estate, root chakra, and emotional like are highlighted at this eclipse time. Today's color is Gold and also White.

TWO WEEKS OF FORECASTS HERE~

Sunday, Oct 8th ~ Venus, planet of love, harmony & romance, shifts to Virgo. This can make us feel particular with our partners or easily annoyed with things like messiness or unfulfilled promises. If you're a little bit disenchanted with a friend or partner, notice if you become overly critical or even passive agressive or sarcastic with them. Mercury aligns with the Moon this morning for heart centered conversations instead. Leo Moon will square Jupiter at 10:55 pm ET, challenging us to perform or be in public, maybe a presentation or stage moment is just ahead. Tonight, prepare. Venus enters Virgo at 9:11 pm ET, and Mars in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn tonight. With all this planetary action, notice if your confidence feels shaken or wobbly and see if you can re-center yourself. Avoid letting negative thoughts or words sit too harshly or reoccur in your mind. Meditate on ways you feel strong. Today's color is Yellow.

Monday ~ The Moon and Sun harmonize in Leo/ Libra, both social signs. This may also have influenced Sunday night. Be ready for people today, for connection and communication, for presenting or performing and test taking of the verbal kind. Let your knowledge, confidence and real self shine. Avoid trying to be like someone else. The Moon and Uranus square and surprises may not go over well initially. Prepared is favored over last minute or winging it. Today's color is Purple. 

Tuesday ~ Venus opposes Saturn in the mutable signs. This may call for versatile and adaptable approaches. Leo Moon aligns with Mars inciting active participation and problem solving especially around equity and equality or justice. It may also put us in outgoing moods. Void Moon 5:37 am to 8:02 ET. For the rest of the day, Virgo Moon is about getting things done, including personal business with others, such as yielding and forgiving. Moon opposite Saturn, meeting Venus takes those adaptable vibes through the day and night. Avoid being too stubborn or stuck in one way of thinking. Brown is today's color. 

Wednesday ~ Virgo Moon aligns with Jupiter for flexible plans and approaches, for studying and feeling 'smarter', and for investigating educational and financial opportunities. Indigo Blue is our color, and Mars is on the threshold of Scorpio. Settle something reasonably and fairly before tomorrow.

Thursday ~ Mars in Scorpio is very activating, can bring up anger and possessiveness or envy. At 12:04 am, Mars enters a sign they co-rule with Pluto. This is the fiery side of emotional Scorpio. The Moon is in Virgo, seeking what can be done practically and maybe frugally. Yet, the planets engaging with the Moon appear to indicate distractions from what's real and true or sensible. And throw curve balls into plans or expectations. Void Moon 4:10 pm to 8:22 pm ET, and these hours may lead to missing appointments or misplacing items. Be extra aware of what  you're doing and saying. Seek balance. Today's color is Dark Red.

Friday ~ This weekend is the Solar Eclipse, and we may feel the rise of energy or a real dip today. Expect extremes. Mars aligns with Saturn to point out what needs serious attention. Do not diminish feelings, your own or other peoples'. Anger or resentment could rise up easily. On the other hand, it could come out as sadness. The Moon is in Libra. Buddy system. Today's color is Black.

Saturday ~ Solar Eclipse 1:55 pm ET, in Libra. Mercury is the planet most engaged near the eclipse, bringing communication, planning and thought processes into the equation. Avoid getting  overly caught up in your mind or anxiety. Do calming, grounding things, even cleaning the house or fixing and repairing things that can be done easily. With so much energy in air signs, it's useful to get in to earthier modes and keep your feet solidly grounded. Unless you're dancing, in which case, be light! Eclipses are like hitting the gas pedal. Things could happen fast during the next two to six weeks. This is the first of a pair of eclipses, taking us to the next levels, ready or not quite...Today's color is White.

Sunday, Oct 15th, 2023 ~ We're in the wake of the eclipse and it may feel very powerful or swirling. Add to that a shift to Scorpio Moon at 7:04 am ET and the Moon meets Mars, bringing strong feelings to the surface and instigating action to back those feelings. The Moon aligns with Saturn for serious priorities and with Venus for passion and sense of beauty. The urge to organize and make sense of things may be strong though it's not necessarily clear how everything will sort and land. Today's color is Indigo.

Monday ~Scorpio Moon opposes Jupiter and Uranus. Extremes and how to deal with them are the focus of the day. Everything may feel magnified and deeply emotional. One thing at a time. Stay personally centered and perhaps more inwardly focused. Wear Black.

Tuesday ~ Scorpio Moon aligns with Neptune for creativity and perhaps a little break from the intensity. Be cautious with substance use and being around people who 'check out' in this way. From 11:44 am ET, with an introverted, reflective trine to Pluto, the Moon is void of course until 3:36 pm ET. Sagittarius Moon squares Saturn and responsibilities and emotions should be faced, even the challenging ones. Today's color is Purple.

Wednesday ~ Sagittarius Moon squares Venus in Virgo. The things we're particular or sensitive about come up for reconciliation. This may be within oneself or with someone else. Notice if you're being too yielding or too unyielding. If you're in denial about a relationship issue, maybe it's a good time to let it come up and see if there's forgiving or some action to take in a positive way. Today's color is Orange.

Thursday ~ Sagittarius Moon aligns with the Sun & Mercury in Libra. It's a social and outgoing aspect. People may be talkative and bring up philosophical ideas. Travel and also educational pursuits are favored. Void Moon 3:02 to 9:55 pm ET. Capricorn Moon arrives then. Mercury and the Sun are about to meet in Libra and tonight there's likely alot of chatter. Topics of justice, equality and sharing may be the focus. Wear Gold.

Friday ~ The Sun meets Mercury at 1:38 am ET. The Moon in Capricorn aligns with Mars in Scoprio, Venus in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. All of this can be positive, though much of it could be highly charged with emotion and sense of urgency or pressure. Mercury and Pluto form a square at 8:51 pm ET, which indicates a need for meditation and reflection. Think before speaking and make sure you can support what you're proposing. Green is today's color.

Saturday ~  Capricorn Moon moves through some familiar monthly paces, aligning with Neptune, meeting Pluto, and trine to Uranus. The third one means things happen suddenly and readily, in different ways than expected. Steadiness will be appreciated. You might be able to get some practical and creative things done, yes both! The Sun squares both the Moon and Pluto today, for self inquiry, encouraging an objective view, and fair transactions. Balance the imbalanced. Indecisiveness is a quality of this evening and it's ok to sit on the fence sometimes. Sleep on it. Wear Black.

Sunday ~ October 1st, make a wish and send it out with this Harvest Moon beginning to wane. Taurus Moon and our next full moon is a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus. Everything may feel magnified today including opportunities and abundance as the Moon and Jupiter meet tonight. Wear Yellow.

Monday ~ Mercury opposes Neptune and we need to be a bit vigilant and listen to our intuition about what's truth and what may not be. Creative imagination may heighten, as can denial and matters of deception. Taurus Moon with many aspects, one of which is alignment to Neptune. Neptune can be spiritual yet also sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors. Feel into what's real and believable. If your work or pleasure involves fantasy, maybe gaming or creative writing, today could be great for inspiration. Void Moon 9:20 pm ET until 1:00 am. Today's color is Blue.

Tuesday ~ Gemini Moon square to Saturn and in harmony with the Sun. It's a thinking person's day, and there's emphasis on communication, writing, self expression, and connection with others. Mercury aligns with Pluto today for inner communication and messages as well. Listen both internally and externally. Take in information and wisdom that may prove helpful. Keep the lines of communication open, within and with others. It's a marketing type day too. Share your product or service in a way that people can hear or see. Today's color is Light Blue.

Wednesday ~ Gemini Moon, and Mercury changes signs, to Libra. Mercury in Libra is focused on fairness and balanced interactions. The Moon is influenced by Mars in Libra (harmony) and Saturn in Pisces (sharper square). The latter brings up questions about intention and agreements. Mars attracts us to interesting partners for collaboration or romance. Venus aligns with the Moon late night into tomorrow and it's a date night and time to emotionally and intellectually connect. Today's color is Gold.

Thursday ~ Gemini Moon engages with Neptune & Venus before changing signs at 8:32 am ET. It's a revisting of Wednesday and earlier this week. Be cautious and careful with trust and truth. Yet also know this is romantic and full of the laws of attraction between people and with joy and pleasure. Find a group or friend to pursue fun, creativity and companionship with. Try not to close doors. Yet trust your intuition. Can you find that place of openness with sensibility too? Cancer Moon will square Mercury in Libra, relating to families and fairness. Family and home related business will come up for some of us. Saturn in Pisces says reasonable boundaries and limits should be honored. Today's color is Light Green.

Friday ~ The Moon and Sun form a square. This can lead to questioning ourselves. Notice the parts of you that are not quite in agreement and give that some attention and care. It's ok to be on the fence and stay there for a moment until it all becomes clear. Cancer Moon forms a beautiful sextile with Jupiter for expanding ideas and tangible realities around home, family and emotional well being. What speaks to your heart, and how can you expand upon that. Be good to yourself and act with care of self and others in mind. Today is the 4th quarter Moon and letting go and releasing are themes too. Wear an especially beautiful Blue.

Saturday ~ Cancer to Leo Moon. Home and family matters really take the forefront and need your attention first. Whether it's something with a parent or child, or something that needs repair or upgrading, tend to this. There's also a quality of self care and self reflection. Take care of you so you can also care for others and responsibilities in a calm, centered, less agitated way. Put yourself first in order to nourish and feel like you're not deprived or drained. Then, other things roll with a bit more ease. Leo Moon time starts at 7:24 pm ET, just in time for a celebratory night. Wear Orange.

Sunday ~ Fall is here, and the Moon is waxing in Capricorn, then Aquarius. I feel this is the best day of the weekend for getting out, socializing and enjoying life. Capricorn Moon aligns with Uranus and Neptune, and WEIRD seems like a word to describe this. So does SURREAL. Let me know how that plays out. Void Moon from 4:05 pm to 7:29 pm ET, then Aquarius Moon for that social vibe. Notice how many times people say unreal, or you've got to be kidding, today. Do something fun and take things as they come. The Moon aligns with the Sun for magic in the air signs. Wear Turquoise. 

Monday ~ Jupiter is today's planet. The Moon squares Jupiter in fixed signs, and Mercury aligns with Jupiter, in earth signs. Jupiter has to do with abundance, expansion and growth. Though you may encounter some stumbling blocks or things to overcome, the energy is supporting personal growth and revisiting places you may have missed or not been ready for an opportunity or even a relationship. Reconnect with any of that and move past limiting beliefs that could  hold you back. Today's color is Yellow.

Tuesday ~ Today's theme is relationship, and the Moon engages with Venus and Mars in challenging ways, bringing up what's been off or a subject of conflict. It's all in the name of growth which can mean sorting it out or even letting go. Try not to jump to a conclusion, but do ask yourself can this relationship go forward and see what you intuition says. Uranus is also square to the Aquarius Moon, and rebelliousness and radical moves may be the result. Something radical can save a friendship or relationship sometimes. Maybe you need to be radically accepting or open. Status changes are likely. Void Moon 8:36 am to 8:18 pm ET. This could be an unusual day. Connect with your partner and don't overlook the obvious. Pisces Moon tonight is sensitive and brings up boundaries. Wear Green.

Wednesday ~ Pisces Moon in harmony with Jupiter. Open to abundance and wisdom. Let things take their course without too much thinking or overdoing. Moon opposes Mercury in Virgo overnight tonight and tomorrow may bring the answers and solutions. Be open to the flow of things, and try not to interfere. Blue is today's color.

Thursday ~ The Moon and Mercury oppose and Mercury is now truly direct in Virgo. Agreements may be timed better. People will look for solutions and may cooperate more to 'fix' things and make something right or revise for a better plan and outcome. Uranus helps with the wild ideas that actually could work, and Neptune adds creativity and vision. Take a turn for the better or for the different, wherever something has just not been working. Be ingenious. Void Moon 4:58 pm to 8:17 pm, then Moon in Aries. We are in the Full Moon zone, and by morning Harvest Moon arrives. Today's color is Orange.

Friday~ Aries Moon and it's Harvest Full Moon.at 5:58 am ET. This Full Moon may feel assertive, aggressive, powerful and strong. Also it's a time of cutting cords, facing up to, and releasing with intention. It could bring up impulsivity. Venus square Uranus indicates rapid and possibly unforeseen changes in relationship and views or roles related to love. Some will go head to head about this and come to an impasse. Even an impasse can be valuable when it leads to reevaluating and really seeing things in a new light. Notice where there is strong resistance to change or what needs to take place. What does this mean for relationships involved? Reasons to cut ties and let go will come up for some.White is our Full Moon color.

Saturday ~ Today you can learn to play crystal bowls at Leaping Waters, and I love the Full Moon timing. Bowls help settle the nervous system and integrate personal experiences. This is on the schedule and there's room for you. www.leapingwatersyoga.com

Aries Moon rolls through, Full as can be, the Warrior Moon. Today, it's opposite Mars in the partnership sign, Libra, and aligned with Venus in Leo for passion and beginnings. Relationship life continues to be the major focus. This could be a good date time, with a sense of newness and adventure even if your relationship is not new. Turn a page, and start fresh. The opposition to Mars may bring chemistry, like opposites atteact. Of course, an opposition can also highlight the places of disagreement, and arguments or stored up emotions can easily get heated during this Full Moon opposition. One thing seems for sure, this weekend will be eventful and give rise to whatever's been brewing inside. Mercury and Uranus instigate brainstorms and changes of plans. From 5:50 pm to 9:18 pm ET, void Moon before Taurus Moon takes the stage. Aim for a comfortable night. It looks like a Saturday night at home may be just right. Wear Pink. (bright and red tones fit best)

LEARN & EXPAND THIS AUTUMN

Learning Opportunities at my South Portland studio

September ~ Play crystal bowls to enter relaxed and meditative states, to share with your family (I wish I had this skill when my son had sleep issues. I could have lulled him to sleep), or to share in larger groups or private one on one practice. Beginners welcome. Do bring one or more crystal bowls and wands or mallets. 

October ~ The Art of Yoga Nidra. I teach this for yoga teachers and other wellness professionals or interested individuals like you. Learn all about this form of guided meditation and why it works. Yoga Nidra has been studied and shown to ease the mind, offer deep mental and physical rest, and increase feelings of emotional well being. Yoga teachers receive Yoga Alliance continuing education credit.            4 spaces are open

November ~ Reiki Level I with Kristine Keegan. Like playing bowls, awaken your healing power for yourself, your family, pets, other animals, trees, spaces, the world! Reiki increases feelings of well being and promotes wholeness and inner healing from trauma & injury, from interactions and events, from cording/unhealthy attachments. Reiki improves vitality, clarity and balances the nervous system. Kristine attuned me as a Reiki Master and it'd be cool to bring you into our Reiki family here at Leaping Waters. We are adding Level 2 to the winter schedule in January or February so if you decide to continue, you'll have that option! Register for Level I now while space is open. 6 spaces as of today.

Crystals workshops will be announced soon!

Thank you for energetically supporting and coming in when you can!
