The main theme for September is Tension-Breakthrough.
The tension is an energy buildup, some of it specific and some of it non-specific. It may feel oppressive; much like the heaviness of a storm front before it breaks, or it may feel energizing and highly moving centered much like the pressure of high winds. This tension has been building for some time now and much of it is not personal to you but rather part of the global matrix poised for change. There is anticipation in the tension, of something about to happen and you don't know whether to anticipate it with excitement or with dread.

This tension has been building for some time now and much of it is not personal to you but rather part of the global matrix poised for change. There is anticipation in the tension, of something about to happen and you don't know whether to anticipate it with excitement or with dread.
A certain tension is necessary for insuring the right flow of action. Much like the thread tension on a sewing machine that regulates the stitches, energetic tension regulates our progress towards evolution. This is the time of no going back and the tension of this month will insure this forward movement towards change and evolution. Positive approach to working with tension is to face everything head on and proactively. What do you want out of life? What have you not dealt with and why? Do it now! No more excuses. This is incredibly powerful energy that can be harnessed in a positive way and can move you farther ahead than you can ever have imagined. Don't let fear get in your way.
The negative experience of tension is created by ambivalence and the loss of your own boundaries and center. If you are wishy-washy and bobbing about like a boat without a rudder, you will likely be caught in the influence and agenda of others. If you have been sitting on the fence regarding choices and decisions this would be the time to step up to the plate and make them. Don't let the fear of making the wrong decision or the wrong choice get in your way. Any action or movement that is proactive on your part will be supported by the influences this month especially by the tension that keeps nudging you forward.
The times require you to be present and patient. If something is not clear to you today, it may be clear tomorrow. It is impossible with the level of change going on to see much into the far future. A certain degree of trust is required to navigate the times in a way that minimizes anxiety. Always try and shift the feeling of anxiety towards feeling positive anticipation instead. In a past forecast it was mentioned that the element of surprise should carry with it an anticipation of something wonderful and creative instead of a dread of something negative and destructive. Beware of the pressure of others needing to push things in a direction just to settle their own anxiety. Hold your boundaries around your own process, timing and choices as long as you are moving forward and not stuck in ambivalence or fear.
The build up of tension will result in either a breakdown or a breakthrough. If you work with the tension as a positive force for movement, you will experience the breakthrough aspect of the month. If you don't, you may experience a breakdown. This is a time when you may experience the breakdown of physical systems if they need to be upgraded or paid attention to. If your car breaks down, it is symbolic and not necessarily personal to you. If your electronics go out or something else in your life of a physical nature breaks down it simply means that the physical world around you is trying to adjust to the tension energy. It could be that it is time to change out or upgrade some of your physical support systems. Pay attention to your physical surroundings and set some boundaries around yourself and your environment to protect it from any energy that is not yours. Others may be in a very different position regarding what needs to happen in their lives for their own evolution. You need not be affected by what goes on around you.
If you experience what you would consider a breakdown, shift it towards a breakthrough by asking yourself what the situation is leading you away from that no longer serves you. If you suddenly lose a job or a relationship or you feel a door has closed on you forever, it is meant to be so in the greater picture. Remember this is all about evolution and the larger scope is sometimes difficult to grasp when you are still in the birth canal.
This month offers an incredible opportunity for manifesting and expanding your horizons. The tension can be used positively and proactively to get things done, to clear out what doesn't serve, and to finally step up to that bid for power you have been avoiding. Stay out of judgment especially around what you see breaking down and always focus on the breakthrough that is just on the other side. As has been mentioned on numerous occasions, it is always important to trust in spirit, make decisions from the heart and avoid being around negativity and lower vibration.
One of the aspects of breakthrough this month is the opportunity to push through the limitations set by the mind and its perceptions of how the universe works and what is actually possible. Evolution is about lifting the lid on the container of how and what we think life is and placing a much larger one over our experience. We are like fish that have outgrown the pond. We know exactly where the edges are and feel safe and in control despite being cramped and limited. We are about to be dumped from the pond into the ocean where the edges are non-existent and the territory is very new. This level of freedom can create a lot of anxiety and fear however there is much to explore and experience and certainly more room to grow.
If you experience non-specific anxiety it is probably not personal but collective. Move it towards anticipation and excitement. If you experience fitful sleep cycles, just know that there is much going on at the astral level. If you experience tremendous fatigue for no apparent reason, you are busy working in the collective (in the dream state) creating a new template for the larger container of where evolution it taking us. Don't be ambivalent, make choices. Don't be rigid, be flexible. Enjoy the ride and have fun!
How the month shows up:
YOU PERSONALLY
You will either really love this energy or you will have a hard time. There will be tension and there may be chaos. Don't try and keep track especially with your mind. Accept things as they come and be ready to take action rather than to sit back. This is not a time to relax (unfortunately). You are being pushed to the limits by the tension and invited to step up to the plate of whatever you need to do to breakthrough to the next step. Procrastination and ambivalence is death. Make choices and decisions; yes or no. And don't go back. Keep your boundaries strong especially when others who are needlessly suffering want company. If things are going really well for you don't feel guilty. Be grateful. Be happy.
RELATIONSHIPS
Relationships are fast moving this month. In and out, finished and started. There is an increase in telepathic communication. Don't be surprised if you think of someone and they call just then. Or you meet someone and it seems like a coincidence. There is no such thing as coincidence that is not somehow planned by spirit. Converging vectors, places of intersection where one person's life path intersects another person's life path for a purpose (experience, information, exchange or agreement), will be on the upswing this month as choices and decisions lead into new directions. It is an exciting time for relationships despite the shock or grief some of you may feel for a time after a sudden break up. If this happens, look at it as a breakthrough to something new. There is a desire for community and collaboration. Interface with community for collaboration but don't lose sight of your personal boundaries and don't be afraid to say "no" to what does not feel right.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Movement, tension, storms, sudden changes, and fluctuations in temperature, all may affect the weather patterns and may or may not affect your plans. Be flexible. The build-up of tension may result in earth movement and volcanic activity. Ways of controlling the environment such as dykes and dams may see breakdown or breakthrough. On the other hand the breakthrough may also be in new solutions to environmental problems and challenges. Make friends with your environment whatever it is. Pay attention to how you can support your environment rather than to force it to be one way or the other. Be proactive in collaborating with the environment for the purpose of working with it rather than against it. This is also a month for looking at resources and support. Honor with gratitude how the environment has supported you with its resources and life giving elements. Spend some time honoring your relationship with air, earth, water and fire without which you would not have survived.
HEALTH AND THE PHYSICAL BODY
Use the moving center this month. Work hard, play hard, start an exercise routine, run, bike, or dance. Your body will respond and it will help handle tension buildup. Otherwise you may experience a physical restlessness. The body has the potential this month to gain in strength and resilience but you will need to work it. The body can finally adapt to new vibrations and feel much more able to handle what is ahead. Challenges this month are with digestion, third chakra, adrenals and hips. One of the choices you may be making this month is around how to best support your body and your all around health. If you have been procrastinating or putting off decisions regarding exercise, diet, or a necessary medical procedure, this would be the time to make that choice or decision. The body will respond favorably to any positive attention it gets. If you continue to ignore it or put off important commitments to good health it will complain and you will suffer the consequences. Support the liver and kidneys as they always get a bit stressed during times of tension and change.
FINANCE, PROJECTS, PARTNERSHIPS, BUSINESS
A great month for moving ahead with projects and partnerships. Ask and you shall receive is the mantra for the month. As long as you are in alignment with spirit and being proactive with your bids for power and keep good boundaries against negative thinking and low vibration, the light is green for just about anything you want to accomplish. Beware of spreading yourself to thinly. It is OK to say "no" or to postpone something for a later time. If it is happening easily and you are experiencing the converging vectors of coincidence around a certain idea or project, you know it is the right thing for the present. However if you know you have a good idea or proposal but the energy is not there for it, perhaps the timing is not right and you should wait. Take one day at a time and get comfortable with not needing to know everything ahead of time. Because the process of creation is immediate, the learning is in how to be present with what you are creating. Only in this way can you change it if it is not to your liking.
POLITICS AND GLOBAL ISSUES
A time of higher tensions that if not used positively can erupt into violence and a breakdown of communication, economy, ethics and considerate behavior. However it is a time for things to move ahead and evolve so despite what feels like setback, poor judgment and bad behavior, we will still see positive results in the future originating from this time. On the other hand we could also see some very important decisions being made on a global level that indicate a maturing process among those in power. Let's intend for the latter. Breakthroughs could include new collaborations, cooperation, communication and management of the world economy.
DATES AND TIME FRAMES
September 1-7: Watch for tension and work with it. Keep balance between movement, boundaries, rest, social time, alone time, completions and beginnings. You will feel a bit like a juggler so have something constant on a daily basis that is a ritual or a practice to keep you focused. This is a good time to finish up unfinished business or tie up loose ends. Pay attention to what may be pulling you from the past and intentionally either feed it or cut it off. If you feel a breakdown coming, stop and re-prioritize and move the energy towards a positive new place.
September 8: Super New Moon at 4:30 AM MDT starts a new cycle of change in what prosperity and abundance mean in your life. You could shift off your current limiting beliefs regarding what you can and cannot have. This is truly a day for asking and receiving but be careful what you ask for. Also be very careful with your communication during this time, as it will carry great weight. Beware of your reactions and think before you speak.
September 9-16: Breakthrough is pushing its way to the forefront. This is an exciting time that is highly charged with a lot of tension creating possibilities for acting poorly or spectacularly. Beware of the actions and reactions of others and don't take anything personally. Stay away from judgment and be neutral about world or environmental events. Look to your own environment and chop wood, carry water in between the higher centered times of extreme movement and inspiration. This is also a time when your voice wants to be heard. But make sure you are coming from spirit when you speak. There may be many lessons around communication as we learn the power of our words.
September 17-23: A juggler you are with many things, perhaps too many, on your plate. This is time for taking stock and prioritizing, weeding out what doesn't work, and going after what is coming easily. You may need to decide what goes on the shelf for a while and what is important to accomplish now. There will be pressure from others to do what favors them; put yourself first. As we head towards the fall equinox and the full moon stay grounded and focused but also be prepared for huge expansive energies of breakthrough and break out. When feeling overwhelmed, retreat into your known environment and your consistent practices. The will help keep you grounded.
September 22: Fall Equinox at 9:08 PM MDT. Acknowledge change, what is different, what is more, what is less, what is new, what is finished, what is starting, what is completing. This time supports community and being with others that are on the same page as you. See this time almost as the beginning of a new year or time frame and set intentions. Be vigilant and aware of what wants to move and help it along without judgment. Pay attention to what is happening with your body and support the body in whatever way you can.
September 23: Harvest Full Moon 3:17 AM MDT. This is a very potent time coming on the heels of the Fall Equinox. Much of the same as was written for the equinox applies here as both events are in the same time frame.
September 24-30: A time of allowing what has been shaken up to fall into place where it will. Step back and allow. Step back and observe. Take action when it is called for but do not force anything. Everything has been put into motion and you just need to watch where it moves. The training wheels have come off the bicycle and you are on your own now. Take a rest if you need it. A deep breath before it starts up again!
Have a great month!
Blessings,
Lena
