Fires burn in many lands as water falls on many others.  The ground that now is soaked will in its turn be iced and burned, just as the places that are ablaze will be wet and cold one day.  Fire and Ice, Ice and Fire, the way of the world since time began.

This is a special week astrologically and spiritually, as the September Equinox on Monday coincides with the movement of our Sun into Libra.

Hollow Earth refers to the concept that a subterranean realm exists below our lands and seas, peopled by an advanced civilisation.  Some believers see it in literal terms, while others relate it to esoteric spiritual hierarchies that exist deep within the Planet.

The new full moon approaches, strongly influenced this time by Leo, so full of strength and power and drive and worldly presence.  It is the month of all months in the annual calendar when the focus should be on the human self, and yet, this time, the sense of self is slipping away, leaving an ambiguity of identity and a space where the human being is meant to be.  Who are you?

Judgment happens all the time, in every moment and in the smallest of ways.

A well-known journalist talking about Boris Johnson and his work more generally recently explained how in order to write his column well he needed to be angry: he fuelled his fury by throwing cups at the wall and papers on the floor, shouting, swearing, until he was filled with the energy he needed to translate his feelings into writing.  His articles, unsurprisingly, are negative – critical of people, of policy and of actions.  They are read by many people who will hear the invective behind, and will believe the words they read from someone they respect.  They may repeat them too, spreading the bile further into their own community.

July is a powerful month dominated by eclipses and the influence of mischievous Mercury spinning backwards. We are half way through an extraordinary period……

The world rocks on the brink of change, and when that change is anchored and accepted by the majority of humanity, the Christ will return.

Some years ago, I was saddened when a pair of bullfinches proudly introduced their new young family to the dandelion seed heads along the drive, only for every one of the juveniles, over the next few days, to lose their path and die, flying into windows. The time when birds leave their nest and learn about life is when they are at their most vulnerable, and so it proved. My heart grieved for the parents, who watched and saw and who will have grieved, briefly, too.
