Today is a day of balance, the equinox, a holy day. Today is a day of the marriage of the divine masculine and feminine in a potent form. The sun enters Libra, ruled by Venus, goddess of love, beauty, creativity, harmony and the sacred mysteries, and the moon enters Aries, warrior god, lover, dancer, at the full. A rare combination that the full moon falls right on the equinox and the two archetypal lovers meet.
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite (Venus) and Aries were passionate lovers. They hold the energies of the divine feminine and masculine in a powerful, distilled form.
Love, relationships, balance, harmony, beauty are called to the fore at this equinox. We are challenged to shed the old selves, old habits, fears, ways of hiding out. We are called to shine in a fuller radiance of who we can be, who we truly are, what's possible. We are called to be creators of beauty, not ugliness. We are asked to contribute to the Divine plan, to contribute the best of what we have to give.
Can we rise beyond our fears and addictions to become Love, fully Love? Can we stand in the mystery and wonder, not needing to know, not needing to be in charge? Can we freefall in surrender to the Divine, moving in our lives?
What is the best we have to give? Will we give it today? Will we give wholeheartedly, without reservations?
Today is a sacred day. How will we honor it in speech, action, being, loving?
Fear shakes my body. Doubt rattles my mind. I want to be a turtle and pull in all my limbs. But this day asks me to rise, to be the lover and the beloved, to find the union within, the song of creation, and to participate in that song.
I am moved to tears as i feel this profound union in the heavens, which is mirrored here on earth--how the universe is calling us to greater being, to shed the ways of the past and become the Truth.
