78 leaves fall from the maple. The curious and wise gather. Decks pop open. Wisdom tinkles tea cups. Once again the wisdom of the Tarot gathers us into a circle to share.
The Fool stands playful, jaunty and two white papillions nip at heels. Leap. Fly. Reach out into the void. The Now is in the current step. What is your journey? I forget I am in my Lovers year. Yes, yes, of course. Heirophant cycle.
To figure your growth year:
Birth month: ____
+ Birth day: ____
______
= Total
+ 2011
_______
Growth Year:
The Fool (0) is your journey, the soul essence of forward stepping, and will not show up as a growth year.
The Magician (1) holds all the tools of transformation and will not show up as a growth year.
Your Total + the current year should not exceed 21.
22 will always be reduced to = 4 (The Emperor)
28 will = 10 (Wheel of Fortune) and will not be reduced more.
Next month we will look at growth cycles and patterns of evolution.

Bright blessings on the shiney autumn day.

A Gathering of Fools

labyrinth on equinox
roadside blackberries stain my lips
dogs and i step forward, back, turning
south, east, north west and round again
cross quarter sun shoots hot beams
light shimmers into my squint
the circle of the year turns
walk away from ego, merge with soul
breathe the chi of now

Lightworkers As Light Anchors
As we in
the Northern Hemisphere enter our Fall Equinoctial gateway this weekend,
we're also entering the end of time: the Ninth (and final) Wave of the
Mayan Calendar concludes on October 28, 2011, according to Mayan scholar
Carl Calleman's research. Then what?
Equinoxes, when day and night are of equal length, are all about balance. This one is also about deep integration, beauty, and yes, despite outer appearances, peace. One of the best ways to bring more of these attributes into your life now is to see yourself as an anchor of light, itself an oxymoron. Yet this is the moment when all paradoxes coalesce into perfect sense.
Cosmic weather reporter, Irma Kay Sawyer, Irma Kaye Sawyer
introduces the designation, Light Anchor: someone who is "grounded, yet
familiar with travel in 4/5D states, either to share energy (as a
healer), information, or both. Light Anchors usually have Sun in an
Earth Sign, and/or predominant earth planets, but this is not always the
case. Their job through the Shift is to 'hold down the fort' (they like
that term!) and create a safe space for people to awaken to their own
light resources. Most of our spiritual visions are seen in our
meditation time. Many Light Anchors are Adult Indigos (1st and 2nd wave)
and also 'Wizards' who are in their late 60s all the way to their 80s
now. Light Anchors often work with words to convey their messages and
can serve as teachers, writers and channels."
In nautical terminology, a light anchor, or kedge, is used to help turn a ship around. The flip side, an anchor light, indicates a vessel is stationary; not under power. And while it's gratifying to anchor the light, right now many of us seem keen to sing, "Anchors Away!"
So yes, balance is key, along with acute creativity. A very early name for my work, before Live Your Light, was Metamorphosis: The Center for Creative Change. Astrologer Allison Rae offers a potent look at creative changereative change this Equinox weekend, in the form of 100,000 Poets for Change, who are creating social artistry via global public readings, demonstrations, concerts and vigils.
We each have the choice and opportunity now to become social (r)evolutionaries: light anchors for an emerging world.

PERSIAN COATS ARE BACK
Really...in the October 2011 issue of Vogue. my great aunt had one, circa 1940. After I inherited it, the soft, velvety black coat lay rumpled in the corner of the bedroom, the perfect kneading spot for my black cat.
I couldn't wear it. After all, it was the '60s and the first wave of animal consciousness (or maybe the second) washed over me. It was wavy and elegant with her initials embroidered on the interior pocket. And I didn't really know what Persian lamb was. I'd just become a vegetarian, so whatever it was wasn't on the menu.
Persian Lamb is a euphemism for Karakul, an ancient breed of sheep, the kind you see in Bibical art with long fat tails.
To preserve the quality of uterine purity and not damage the fibers with the wild chemicals of the birth canal, a cesarean is performed. I've heard tails of old ewes, the slash scars still across their bellies.
A Karakul birthcoat is like a surprise party. Colors can range from inky black to a riotous red pinto. And always the distinctive tight wave glistening against the lambs body.
In this style update, I must say I still will not wear one. But know what you're wearing and that great effort is offered from the Animal Kingdom to bring us something new ... or in this case, retro.
