Autumn is a time for harvesting, where the fruits of the fields are gathered to sustain us as we prepare for the long winter. This September almost our entire month is in Mercury retrograde, which calls for a “time out” or you could say a “time in”. Mercury retrograde is all about slowing down to catch up with oneself long enough to reflect, reconsider, realign and restore our intentions. It is a contemplative time for your heart and soul to harvest the riches of your experiences from the past. Sometimes we have to slow down and hit the rewind button and review what has come before and claim what we may have missed the first time so we can move forward in our lives in a way that is truly powerful. Did we plant our intentions wisely and care for them properly to bear the fruits of our vision in all areas of our lives? Ask yourself. Is my garden filled with bountiful and healthy experiences that are aligned with my highest truth and expression of my best self? Or do I have a neglected “life crop” wilting from lack of care?
In a time like this where there is so much focus on the “weeds” in our world; unemployment, foreclosures, debt, lack of medical coverage, loss of connection to loved ones, it is easy to feel discouraged about harvesting the vision. We are really being asked to let go of our attachments to the “things”, the routines and the lifestyles that we thought brought us happiness. It is time to let go of the many ideals that run us, it is the perfect time to review what is really meaningful to you and that which is not sustaining you any more. We must remember to hold onto our power of choice and recognize by making clear choices we direct our thinking, feeling and actions to match our values. So where do you want to put your attention and what is your intention, are they aligned with your Spiritual truth?
This Autumnal equinox along with Mercury retrograde could be the perfect time for our whole culture to wake up to the deeper messages we are receiving from the rhythms of nature and the planetary influences. It is time to weed your garden and gather the seeds for next season’s planting. It is time to get really clear about what is dying or fallen away and what is really meaningful and worthy of reseeding. Which of your intentions are bearing healthy fruits and which intentions are suffering from neglect? How do you tend your garden? And is it sustaining you? Where do you feel at home and happy in your heart and soul? Are you living life in a way that matters most to you? Finding our way into the winter is not about leaving harvested fields barren. It is about going into the season of winter knowing your own inner truth and vision to prepare your seeds of intention for your next years planting.
