September Equinox



The earliest humans spent more time outside than we do. They used the sky as both a clock and a calendar. They could easily see that the sun’s path across the sky, the length of daylight, and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shift in a regular way throughout the year.


The name EQUINOX comes from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night).

There are two equinoxes every year – in September and March – when the sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal.


Seasons are opposite on either side of the Equator, so the equinox in September is also known as the Autumnal (fall) equinox in the northern hemisphere  and the Spring (vernal)  equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.

The September equinox (or Southward equinox) is the moment when the sun appears to cross the celestial equator, heading southward. Due to differences between the calendar year and the tropical year, the September equinox can occur at any time from the 21st to the 24th day of September.





The September equinox coincides with many cultural events, religious observances and customs. 

In many cultures, the September equinox is a sign of fall (autumn) in the northern hemisphere. In Greek mythology fall is associated with when the goddess Persephone returns to the underworld to be with her husband Hades. It was supposedly a good time to enact rituals for protection and security as well as reflect on successes or failures from the previous months.

The Christian church replaced many early Pagan equinox celebrations with Christianized observances. For example, Michaelmas (also known as the Feast of Michael and All Angels), on September 29, fell near the September equinox.

In the Chinese tradition, the autumn season is associated with the color white, the sound ofweeping, the emotions of both courage and sadness, the lung organ, the metal element, and awhite tiger. Autumn is also connected in Chinese thought with the direction west, considered to be the direction of dreams and visions.
In China the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is celebrated around the time of the September equinox. It celebrates the abundance of the summer's harvest and one of the main foods is the mooncake filled with lotus, sesame seeds, a duck egg or dried fruit.

To celebrate this Equinox , I suggest you watching the sky, just go outside around sunset or sunrise and notice the location of the sun on the horizon with respect to familiar landmarks.

    Do It Anyway

    “Do It Anyway”

    People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; 

    ~ Forgive them anyway.

    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; 

    ~ Be kind anyway.

    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; 

    ~ Succeed anyway.

    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; 

    ~ Be honest and frank anyway.

    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; 

    ~ Build it anyway.

    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous: 

    ~ Be happy anyway.

    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; 

    ~ Do good anyway.

    Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough; 

    ~ Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

    You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; 

    It was never between you and them anyway.

    ~ Mother Teresa



    Muitas vezes as pessoas são egocêntricas, ilógicas e insensatas. 
    ~ Perdoe-as assim mesmo.

    Se você é gentil, as pessoas podem acusá-lo de egoísta, interesseira. 
    ~Seja gentil assim mesmo.

    Se você é um vencedor, terá alguns falsos amigos, e alguns inimigos verdadeiros. 
    ~Vença assim mesmo.

    Se você é honesto e franco as pessoas podem enganá-lo.
    ~ Seja honesto e franco assim mesmo.

    O que você levou anos para construir, alguém pode destruir de uma hora para outra. 
    ~ Construa assim mesmo.

    Se você tem paz e é feliz, as pessoas podem sentir inveja. 
    ~ Seja feliz assim mesmo.

    O bem que você faz hoje pode ser esquecido amanhã.
    ~ Faça o bem assim mesmo.

    Dê ao mundo o melhor de você, mas isso pode nunca ser o bastante.
    ~Dê o melhor de você assim mesmo.

    Veja você que, no final das contas, é entre você e Deus. 
    Nunca foi entre você e as outras pessoas".

    ~ Madre Teresa

    Supermoon

    supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.


    By Richard Nolle’s definition, the new moon or full moon has to come within 361,836 kilometers (224,834 miles) of our planet, as measured from the centers of the moon and Earth, in order to be considered a supermoon.
    By that definition, the year 2015 has a total of six supermoons. The first supermoon, for 2015, came with the January 20 new moon. The new moons on February 18 and March 20 were also considered supermoons, according to Nolle’s definition, and that same definition dictates that the full moons of August, September and October will be supermoons, too. Thus, the full moon supermoons – aka near-perigee full moons – in 2015:
    Full moon of August 29 at 18:35 UTC
    Full moon of September 28 at 2:50 UTC
    Full moon of October 27 at 12:05 UTC
    The full moon on September 28, 2015, will present the closest supermoon of the year (356,896 kilometers or 221,754 miles). What’s more, this September 28, 2015 full moon will stage a total lunar eclipse, concluding a series of Blood Moon eclipses that started with the total lunar eclipse of April 15, 2014.

    More often than not, the one day of the year that the full moon and perigee align also brings about the year’s closest perigee (also called proxigee). Because the moon has recurring cycles, we can count on the full moon and perigee to come in concert in periods of about one year, one month and 18 days.


    Dates of closest full supermoons in future years:
    Therefore, the full moon and perigee realign in periods of about one year and 48 days. So we can figure the dates of the closest full moons in recent and future years as:
    September 28, 2015
    November 14, 2016
    January 2, 2018.

      The Substance of Divine Light


      Immersing Yourself in Liquid Love from the Source of all Life


      Dear Ones,

      Revel in the substance that is Divine Light. It is the Liquid Love from the Creative Force in whom you live, move and have your being. When you allow yourself to awaken to this truth in your heart, the power of Divine Love transmutes all that you have judged as unworthy within you. You are reawakening to the truth and majesty of who you truly are.

      That is why the Archangels are working in the Earthly realms in such a profound way at this time. We are here to not only encourage but to empower, to not only inspire but to transform, to not only lift the veils of ignorance but to so illuminate your mental capacities that you are forever transformed by the Light. You are meant to be a blended being — one who is anchored in the Earth and attuned to the Divine Presence — aligned from Heaven to Earth within your physical body.

      The Archangels have come to bring Light from the Source of all Life to the world.We are here to inspire and guide those who will listen and learn to free and be freed. There is no place we are not creating new life and offering it to those who are open to receive. Divine Guidance lives in the Intelligence of this Light. It is only withholding love from yourself that cuts you off from what you most want to receive. When you give love to yourself, you are healed at such a deep level that your heart is illuminated and your receptor channels are activated. This allows you to create new life from Divine Light in this new time awakening on the planet. You can begin now to create the structure you want to live in and the future aspects of yourself you want to become.

      When you immerse yourself in Divine Light, new frequencies entrain the field around your body and you have access to the love and intelligence that lives within your heart. There is no power on Earth that can match the Divinity inherent in the Light of God. Reverence for your path is key to conscious immersion in this loving Presence. It is what your heart longs for. It is what your mind is drawn to experience. Your awakening into the Light of Divine Presence allows you to find the freedom to soar above the mundane and yet create in clear practical ways. Without working in multi-dimensional levels you cannot bring Heaven to Earth and receive the gifts your Soul has been longing to bring to life.

      This longing of the Soul is under the pain and suffering of so many people.Divine Union is at the basis of all desire. When you commune deeply within your Soul’s longing, the essence of this truth becomes a reality. When people seek partnership, the union of the sacred masculine and feminine is at the heart. When people choose to buy the material things that they believe will make them happy, it is the desire for union within the self they are seeking. You are wanting to fill the empty places within you. Very often the acquiring of a physical object does not satisfy your longing for a substantial length of time.

      Coming back to the depth of yourself again and again opens the doorways to your Soul, where the true gifts you long for live within you. There is an awakening to the love that is being provided for you, and your connection to this overflowing fountain of true love is available as a gift. This need to connect to Source of Divine Union within the depth of your being is paramount to creativity and will feed you when you honor it.

      All Creation awaits you in this activity as you become pure Divinity walking the Earth and living the fullest radiance of your Soul within a human body. That is how the Light Body is created. From the acceptance of the brilliance of Divine Love awakening in your heart to the breadth of Divine Intelligence expanding through the channels of wisdom available to you, the radiance of this connection becomes full Divine Union.

      Whether or not you suspect it, you are being groomed on the physical/emotional level for the Divine Union your Soul longs to experience. Your receptive channels are expanding and opening to the higher frequencies. We are asking you to be a receiver for the Divine Wisdom now available. The true beauty within your alignment with Source energy is transforming your structural integrity to be in harmony with the gifts of your Soul. As you hold more of this divine connection, a melding takes place that allows your cellular structure to radiate new life in crystalline form. This is your true inheritance as a child of God, because your original form was within the crystalline frequencies.

      As you hold more Light within your being, all that cannot align with these frequencies drops away and you are free. The freedom that you seek in life is dependent on the power of the connection you feel to All That Is. Immersion in Divine Light allows connection to the Source of all life and brings to you the ultimate satisfaction of remaining free and in alignment with the truth of you moment to moment.

      As you look within your deepest Truth, you find yourself on the Path of the Heart.Great strides are possible on this path if you can allow your heart to melt into Love. The Source of All Life requires nothing of you but your total allegiance to being in Unity within yourself. This essence of Divine Union is expanded into multidimensional realms to allow you to partake of the new structures being created in Light.

      From that place, all will unfold as you allow yourself to sit in the purity of a field of Divine Love. Accessing this power comes from meeting it with the full force of your agreement to love — no matter what. Within every photon of Light is the creative aspects of Infinite Intelligence and Divine Love. Coming back to the depth of love within yourself again and again opens the doorways to your Soul and your awareness that love is being provided for you now and always.

      Your connection to this overflowing Fountain of True Love is a gift. All you need to do is to align your being with the Substance of Divine Light, then open your heart and mind to receive. And so it is.
