This photograph of the Harvest Moon last night haunted wise owl and Oracle Report Facebook member Kevin. It kept him from sleeping until he finally figured out how to capture it. Thank you, Kevin. We appreciate the loss of sleep in order to bring this to us. It is spectacular!
"Spectacular" definitely describes what is happening at this point in time. Simultanouesly, the highest desire of the collective of humanity and the highest desires of every individual in the collective are being granted. Our highest collective desire is the release of our minds from a cage of fear (the root cause of self-loathing, violence, and unimagined potential - all imposed from outside ourselves).
Our highest individual desire is the fullest expression of our true selves - our characteristics, likes, dislikes, and aptitudes. Oftentimes these things are hidden away or mired. We don't see them in ourselves because they don't look bold or grand. They don't look bold or grand because they are seeds; they are undeveloped. They don't look bold or grand yet.
I am writing about this to help explain why some may not be feeling the celebration.
Why is it that when a cage door is opened, a bird will not leave? Birds were created with wings, so they are meant to fly - not to be caged. But if a bird is unaware of its true nature to fly and the only "home" it has ever known is the cage, we can understand its reticence.
We are beginning a process where we will gradually realize that the cage door is open and that we are truly free to create reality in line with what is good and decent and honorable and OF THE PLANET. Our instincts are coded to this - it's in our DNA.
To leave the cage, follow your instincts. Follow what feels like you. Follow what is fun (and if you can fuse fun with productivity, well, you have found one of the secrets of life). Follow your heart. Follow your gut. (There are neural cells all over the body, not just in the brain. The higher self communicates to us through these cells.)
It is going to take a while to see that the cage door has been opened. We have to de-program from the control.
Hold to the mindset of celebration this weekend. Find beauty in the natural world around you. Trust that a great blessing has been bestowed.
FRIDAY'S REPORT IS POSTED BELOW FOR EASIER REFERENCE. ALL OF THESE ENERGIES REMAIN STRONG THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.
Friday, September 2013:
Before you get too disappointed about today's photograph, you have to see the full picture. Click here to see the image of the Harvest Moon rising over Radisson Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada by C Tyreman and posted on spaceweather's gallery.
Isn't it that way in life? We see one part, but there is always a bigger picture.
What do you think the whooping cranes are doing in this picture? Your interpretation tells a lot about where you psyche is today. Are they taking flight? Running scared? Stomping around?
Or are they whooping it up? The highest octave of today's energy says this is precisely what they are doing. Why? Because they are in tune with the harmonics of the divine being embodied as our planet - Gaia Sophia. She is in ecstatic celebration of the fact that humanity is awake and co-creating with a progressively strong harmonic of its own. The Harvest Moon is the marker
However...it will be challenging to remain in the mindscape of celebration because of many astrological effects, not least of which is Pluto stationing direct (appear to move forward in the sky again). Today, Pluto holding in its retrograde path and then stationing back to direct motion. Picture a rock in a slingshot stretched back as far as the sling will go, vibrating from the tension, and then forcefully released. This is what today's energy is like. Pluto went retrograde on April 13, 2013, so you can think back to what was going on in your life around that time. That area of your life has been re-worked by Pluto. Pluto transforms at the very, very deepest levels.
Recall that while Pluto was in its retrograde motion, it made an opposition with the Black Moon. The combination of Pluto and the Black Moon equals serious, committed relationships. The energy of Pluto stationing direct today revisits this theme with events, circumstances, and situations related to relationships where emotions run deep.
Relationship issues are further enhanced by Venus' approach make a square with Mars. Venus and Mars equal all types of relationships, not just serious, committed relationships like the way Pluto and the Black Moon do. Squares produce changes. We make sudden turns. Squares between Venus and Mars often incite anger and jealousy. Today, Venus is in exact trine to Chiron, the planet of wounding and healing, flavoring the energy with the tendency to hurt self or others based on the true feelings about self. We can be very harsh and critical of ourselves under Venus-Chiron energy, and if we can't handle it, we usually project it onto others.
See you see the energetic set-up. This will play out throughout the weekend, and there is a lot to absorb here, so this post will remain throughout the weekend. If you revisist it later, you will understand it differently because the various energies will be playing out in our individual lives in a unique sequence.
Let's return to the mission this weekend: to celebrate the massive marker in time, Shodashi's Wave, where the tide turns toward light, love, and freedom. We aren't just the wise owls; we are the whooping cranes.
As such, we are "in touch with some reality, beyond the gilded cage..." and with that, the song for the day is "Limelight" by Rush.
(Note: I often send a message to the Oracle Report community on Facebook about the song of the day, usually after the daily report has already been published. The Mahavidyas are indeed musical.)
