When you become aware of the cycles of life and the seasons, you can gain more awareness and tap into the bigger picture of this life experience. Be conscious and aware of where you are and where you’re going. Pay attention to the cycles of the moon and the sun and how they affect the cycles of your life. Trust your inner guidance and the messages you receive from your loved ones on the Other Side.
A time of power
The equinoxes and solstices are times of transition and power. This is also true of the cross-quarters – the midway between an equinox and a solstice. Ancient civilizations believed the same. Many civilizations have built structures, temples, and pyramids aligned with the solstices and equinoxes. I’ve visited such sacred sites in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, locations in Peru, the Ley Lines in England and France, and the portal energy of the Four Corners region. They are all places where temples or markers are placed so that the season’s change becomes evident as the sun shines on the sacred site. The sun makes a design either on or through the structure each year when the sun is angled in such a way that it is directly associated with a solstice or equinox.
This midway point, the cross-quarter, opens the door between worlds, allowing for a clearer connection with your ancestors and loved ones on the Other Side. This is especially true at the end of October and early November. Contemplate those loved ones who have already passed over. Imagine that they are visiting you in your heart and mind. What would they say? What words of advice do they have for you? Trust the answers you receive and use their message in your daily life. Whenever I tap into my ancestors, the message is simple – all that truly matters while on planet Earth is love.
This cycle of the tween time connects us with birth, death, mysticism, and magic. Use this time’s energy to enter the Great Mystery’s void. This is the place where all is created. Experience profound realizations to create and manifest. You are your own magician and creator of your life. This is a potent time for creation.
What do you want to create?
Consider the part of your life that needs fulfillment. Is there an area that is lacking? Even if you can’t pinpoint something specific at this time, decide to increase the vibration of love and kindness in your life. Take steps to increase your mental capacity to integrate abundance, beauty, blessings, and love. It starts with deciding and then envisioning love and beauty in your daily experiences. Heart-centered living is achieved by focusing on your heart center–the heart chakra. Relax into this simple practice and watch your days fill up with compassion, kindness, and well-being.
Be mindful of these cycles of life. Use them to connect with the celestial realm above and Mother Earth’s changes beneath your feet. This will awaken your spiritual connection. Bring these cycles to your perception, and it will awaken you to walk on the planet with more awareness and connection instead of aimlessly and possibly in a frenzy. It’s just another reminder to take the time to pause and reflect on love.
