Em-Power Days, September 2010
We meet again in Autumn now! Yes, yay, it’s September. And we made it through. Oh, to be sure, that irrational and irritating astrological Grand Cross still hangs high in the sky. Just not as fearful anymore. Nope, nope, nope; not King of the Fffffffinances anymore. Take c-c-courage, because Scarecrow got dibs on the heart. And since it’s ‘Back to School’ that must mean that we got some brains. So think on this. Along with last vestiges of summer, the worst is over. The storms have subsided and if you squint hard enough and long enough you might even be able to spy the silver linings shimmering behind those slowly banishing clouds. You made it! YOU made it. And so did the economy. Well, for now anyway. That said, I’d still prefer to see you out in the orchard apple picking because there’s no bottom picking allowed. For the immediate and foreseeable anyway. We’re still on shaky financial ground but not near as tremulous as we once were. Recently even. Can’t you just feel the fresh start in the air? Yellow jackets buzzing giving way to yellow buses, um, school busing. Soon, soon, the seasonal smells too. Brush burning. Old leather footballs. New books. And then the Equinox. Equal dark and equal light. Bygones. Oranges and golds, grain and gratitude. For the harvest that is. We do, after all, reap what we sow. With or without grandmother’s old Singer. Even if her refrain did go something like this: “Try to remember the kind of September, When life was slow and oh so mellow.” This month, you won’t have to try very hard. Slow and mellow, slow and mellow. Then follow – follow. YOUR heart. Just like Scarecrow found out, it was always there all along.
SEPTEMBER 4 - Oh there she is! Lovely Venus trines a dreamy Neptune making this an even dreamier day. And a really hot night. Go ask Alice. She’ll tell you. Up is down and down is up. And, then, up might be just, well, up since there are highly charged passionate and sexual energies afoot without all the fetish. Forget the Van Van oil, even though this certainly is a fantabulous night to make romance. We’re getting even more empowered than that. How about some ‘Sex’ oil? Two drops essential oil of ginger, two of patchouli and one drop each of cardamom and sandalwood. Wear it as a cologne. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. Slippery when wet.
SEPTEMBER 8 - Flirty Venus on a roll. She enters secretive, sensual, sexual Scorpio today while Jupiter slides back into Pisces. Jewish New Year begins at Sundown and New Moon rises in Virgo after sunset. Can’t you just feel the push to start something brand spanking (homage to Venus in Scorpio) new? Initiation is the order of the day. Begin anew. But, first, clear out the old. Squeeze the juice from three lemons into any earthenware or all natural container filled with spring or filtered water. Starting at the front door and walking in a clockwise direction around the main floor go to every room that has ANY drain in it at all. Spill a little of this lemon water down each and every drain. Kitchen sink. Washing machine. Shower stalls. Commodes. Down all the drains. Buh bye summer, hellooooo and happy early NEW year!
SEPTEMBER 9 - Aggressive and active Mars taking his turn at trining Neptune now. Following on the heels of yesterday’s ‘BEGIN SOMETHING NEW’ energies, the ones that circle and swirl today practically beg you to take action on your ideas. No time like the present to find such a swell gift. Locate both the WEALTH and the ROMANCE/RELATIONSHIP areas on your main floor (see HYPERLINK “http://www.ellenwhitehurst.com” www.ellenwhitehurst.com and hit the Bagua link to find these areas) and then find the nearest exit door and/or window to both. If there aren’t any, then fast forward to next tip. However, a chime or a crystal placed in front of exit or window in either/both of these locations can retain important energies that can promote prosperity AND the completion of your projects. This would be that day!
SEPTEMBER 11 - I lost loved ones too. White candles. Burning in front of their wooden framed photos. Eternal rest. While we continue to remember, honor and mourn.
SEPTEMBER 12 - I don’t care that it wasn’t supposed to affect Aquarians. This Mercury retrograde kicked my ass. KICKED MY ASS. Not any longer. Mercury the Messenger wakes up and heads forward. MERCURY THE MESSENGER leaves Taj Mahal fishing and humming to himself because we got bigger ones to fry. With Venus (love and money) SEX-tiling a satisfied and powerful Pluto, financial talks go swimmingly. Really, really well. Visualize nine faux Chinese coins affixed in a vertical fashion on a long rectangle of yellow silk. Power (four character side) facing out. Or you can make this same thing and hang it in your WEALTH area. But just as effective using the imagination. ‘See’ this ancient secret Feng Shui wealth ‘cure’ moving back and forth, up and down and swirling all around inside the bottom of your feet. Like a koi in a pond or a guppie in a bowl. Moving all around. The ground you stand on is now hallowed. And harmonious. And about to reap some nice rewards. Hey sole sista, your ship’s about to come in. Step lively. And carry a big rod.
SEPTEMBER 13 - Copycat! Pluto turns direct today. And he’s an astro top dog. Rules your personal power. Glad to see him moving forward again. Woof, woof, woo….oh, wait, I mean, woot, woot, woot! You know what to do. Get out the cornmeal. The glyph and other advice will be in the blog @ellenwhitehurst.tumblr.com/
SEPTEMBER 18 - SUPER STELLAR DAY. I’ll just tease and say it could also be called MIRACLES DO COME TRUE DAY. Serious as, well, you know. The only way to find out why and what to do is to be a subscriber to my monthly newsletter. www.ellenwhitehurst.com. Really, you’re hesitating? Silllllleeeeeee.
SEPTEMBER 21 - Dichotomy alert! ‘International Day of Peace’ pretty much anything but. Sun opposing Uranus in Pisces. Pissy. Stupid Sun. Glaring at and opposing Jupiter as well. If you need help, for goodness sakes, ASK! With foundations shifting and possibly cracking, don’t call on the contractor unless he’s Angel Xexor. Invoked in earnest and in prayer he’s the real deal. And will bring magic to the mix. As well as promising to grant your wish. “I AM witness, to God’s miracle, every instant of every day.” Say it sincerely. And often. Thanks Joann Cornug for once again doing the legwork. Thanks Xexor for taking care of everything else. Just ask!
SEPTEMBER 22 - Autumn Equinox. Sun enters Libra. Sukkot at sundown. Shift. Balance. Center. Breeeeeethe. In through the nose and out through the mouth. All the while intoning the magical name of God, “HUM” on the exhale. Nine times. Three times during this day. Breathe in light. Breathe out and “hum.” God only knows how powerful this exercise is. Literally.
SEPTEMBER 25 - Sun squaring off against the mighty and powerful Pluto. Uh oh. Duck and cover. Or just cover. Authority issues and power plays abound. Who cares? Not us! The DL is the place we want to be. Keep it tightly zipped. DON’T ASK FOR ANYTHING. That way you won’t be disappointed. And don’t forget to keep six small crystal balls (or glass marbles) atop a mirror somewhere in the living room. Extra added insurance.
SEPTEMBER 30 - The annual Sun – Saturn sobering slam. Just face the facts, be realistic and practical and know that this too shall pass. But carrying a little bit of cinnamon, the warm brown spice of friendship that is also said to destroy enemies might make this a sweeter day. And will give you strength. Toast to cinnamon!
