The Constellation ๐Ÿ’ซ 

your Cosmic Update

Hi First name / friend!

 

This week I started to feel the subtle change in the seasons. On Thursday I went from wearing a fleece for my morning walk when it was 48 degrees to ending the day in my bathing suit at the pool when it was 75 degrees (if you don't know how bizarre Colorado weather is, this is just the beginning ๐Ÿ˜†).

 

The walks are part of an experiment I've been conducting. It's not highly scientific but it does involve trying new things and seeing how they work out. Today the world is screaming at us that things are right or wrong, the answer is yes or no, that we are good or bad. In the spirit of acknowledging and embracing the gray areas of life and nuance instead of blaring polarities, I've been exploring the nuance of myself รก la Walt Whitman:

 

Do I contradict myself?

Very well then I contradict myself,

(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

 

Yes, we all play different roles in life from daughter to employee to friend to sibling, but what about the parts of ourselves that express themselves in different way and help us step into these roles? What about the archetypes we embody in these expressions like the comedian, the hero, the caretaker, the lover, or the explorer? The concept of archetypes is literally ancient history, but was further conceptualized by Carl Jung in the early 1900s, and most recently (like last month) I tapped into the concept on the 12th house podcast with Michelle Pelizzon. 

 

The gist of it is 1) understanding how we embody different archetypes or characters to navigate different situations in life, and 2) understanding how we can try on and create new archetypes to embody a new part of ourselves and achieve new things.

 

It's been so fun because not only am I able to explore what my archetypes will wear, how they'll do their makeup and hair, but also the attributes they have that I aspire to and want to embody, as well as their shadow attributes so I can identify when I'm slipping into those zones. My goal is to continue playing with archetypes through the end of this month so I have a solid 3-4 that I can embody through the last quarter of the year to help me dig into those parts of myself and achieve the goals that those aspirational attributes can help me with ๐Ÿ˜‰.

 

So far I've toyed with the Mystic Cowgirl (love the mysticism, not sure cowgirl has a long-term place in my repertoire ๐Ÿค ) and Executive Visionary (I'm thinking she may stick around because she means business but also magic โœจ). As a bonus, I've actually done my makeup and hair for work this week and gotten more compliments (and questions about if I'm interviewing for a new job ๐Ÿ˜†) than ever...who knew changing out of sweatshirts and a topknot would be so fun!

 

I will keep you all posted on my adventure with archetypes, especially on instagram, but I would LOVE to hear what archetypes you feel you embody most and which ones you are excited to try on! We're heading into a week ushering in reflection and shifts so it's the perfect time to start trying on new things and letting go of old versions of yourself that no longer serve you.

 

It's a big week in the astro calendar, we have the Pisces Full Moon tomorrow, Libra season officially starts, the seasonal equinox, AND.......(everything will be fine) mercury stations retrograde next Sunday. 

 

Keep reading for this week's astro forecast and have a stellar week ๐Ÿ˜˜!

Collective Cosmic Snapshot

September 20 | Full Moon in Pisces ๐ŸŒ

This is an extra magical Full Moon thanks to its aspects to Saturn and Mercury, so lean into the mystic and magical side of yourself when doing your ritual. 

 

Pisces is about ending cycles and integrating all that we've learned, as we head into the equinox in just two days, use this moon to shed light on all you've learned since the last equinox 6 months ago and maybe on any of the experiences, thoughts, things, or people that are no longer serving you and you can release before beginning the next cycle. 

 

Pisces is also the sign of intuition, mysticism, and our dreams, so let the virgo vibes go for today and let yourself dissolve boundaries, live in the liminal space where hidden pieces of yourself can come to the surface and just be for a day or two. Pay close attention to your intuition AND your dreams, I'd highly recommend noting them down in a journal or voice memo for the next few days and see what magic you find.

 

September 20 ๐Ÿ™

As Virgo season begins to wrap up, this is a great day to plan and organize. Optimism and positive thinking work wonders and energy flows where your attention goes, so focus on gratitude and where you want to expand your horizons today to tap into the flow today's transits can bring. 

 

September 22 | Sun in Libra โ™Ž๏ธ

Happy Libra Season! This is the time of year where we all find a little calibration as we shift into a new season. Today is also the Equinox, where we have equal daylight and night, inviting us to feel balance and re-calibrate to see how much we are giving of and to ourselves. 

 

Libra says 'I balance', so for the next month we'll all be able to better see both sides of a situation, seek harmony, and help each other find a middle ground. Libra can sometimes seek harmony at all costs including overdoing, people pleasing, or not rocking the boat, so remember to care for yourself too in order to not tip the scales in the other direction.

 

September 22 ๐Ÿ“

You may be challenged by self-talk or a thought you just can't get out of your head today. There are some power dynamics in play, so just notice if you are pushing on others or know that if others are pushing on your, we're all experiencing this transit and it may be lighting up their chart more than yours. A great day to turn inward and journal out what may be underneath the surface for you today.

 

September 23 ๐Ÿคฉ

You may feel torn between feeling comfortable and wanting to spice things up today. If you feel like you want a little excitement, go for it! Open yourself up to trying a new coffee shop, swiping right on someone you usually wouldn't, or calling someone instead of emailing, as you may experience a breakthrough in your relationships with others.

 

September 25 ๐Ÿ’ช

Usually when Mars and Saturn are talking to each other like they are today, it's a one-foot-on-the-gas-the-other-on-the-brake kind of vibe. But today, they're working nicely together meaning that we're able to harness Mars go go go energy to focus, concentrate, and get things done.

 

September 26 โœจ

This transit invites harmony and flow around your identity and how you shine in the world. A good day for insights and downloads about who you are and want to be. Pay special attention to the nudges from the universe that are saying things like "is this really what you want?", "you should really try this new thing?", or "follow your heart". Watch who you meet today. We always have a choice when the Nodes are involved.

 

September 26 | Mercury Stations Retrograde ๐Ÿ”™

Mercury will be retrograde in Libra until October 18th and will clear his shadow (moving over the same part of the sky he's already traveled over) on November 3rd. What does this mean for you? Well, the usual - back up your computers and phones now, triple check any travel plans you have, and know that there may be communication mixups during this time. 

 

Plan to work on your RE- words through this stretch of time and tie up any loose ends, REdo, REvisit, REpair, especially words around your relationships with others or yourself, REconnect with people from your past, REflect on your self-worth, REview the energetic exchanges in your life. Remember (there's another RE word ๐Ÿ˜‰) to also slow down during this time and REst. From tonight until October 6th, SIX planets are retrograde, so the heavens are serious about us coming to a stop so we can start to move forward, ever so slowly, into the new season.
