As the sun sets tonight, we cross a threshold into a 24-hour period when the veil between visible and invisible realities will be as permeable as it will be in our lifetimes. The day we know as Halloween is one of the great energetic hinges of the year. Our Star is equidistant from both the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice and the cosmic mysteries of Light and Dark that each celebrates.



In the ancient Celtic world, this day was known as Samhain. Across the globe, throughout time, it was the Day of the Dead -- a celebration of the profound mystery of transformation that underlies Life in all its forms and cycles.

Here’s why this year's Samhain is different from any other we will ever again experience:



* It takes place during a time of massive cosmic shift. We're crossing an energetic threshold of massive proportions, when great cycles of time, spanning millennia, are concluding and beginning. In these times, everything that happens is intensified and accelerated.



* It happens as our Sun prepares for a reversal of its polarities. Over the last week, our Star has sent a powerful surge of solar energy into the Universe, accelerating our individual and our planetary transformation.



* It occurs during the potent Balsamic Moon that precedes every New Moon. During the three- and- a-half day Dark Moon before the New Moon, old energetic forms are dissolved and the future begins to come into being. At this time, the cosmic matrix is most receptive to our most deeply felt intentions -- and we are most able to receive evolutionary direction and guidance from the Source.



* Mercury is vision questing through Scorpio, where Saturn has been for a year, diving beneath the surface for what we need in order to fully understand and align with the powerful transformations taking place deep within us and around us. During these days of the thin veils, Mercury’s messages can reach us more easily, expanding our consciousness and our ability to understand our deepest power.



* Just after midnight, the 4th Uranus-Pluto square becomes exact. This 4th of 7 squares takes us beyond the energetic limits of most Uranus-Pluto encounters, which typically consist of three energetic events. With this square, we’re going beyond our customary energetic containers. The previous 3 squares have broken open the dry, hard ground within us and around us. It’s time now to begin actively collaborating with the Cosmos to transform reality and the way we experience it.



* Over half the planets in the solar system will be at 9 degrees as Uranus’ and Pluto’s vibrations collide. As the ancient art of numerology tells us, the number 9 is a mystical one that operates much like the Balsamic Moon. Its vibrations dissolve old forms and seed reality for the creation of a new cycle, accelerating the transformative effects of the square.



* A very rare hybrid solar eclipse takes place on Sunday. Beginning just after sunrise in the eastern U.S. as an annular eclipse, a ring of solar fire will surround the Moon before the eclipse becomes total as it passes over Europe and Africa. Short-lived and dramatic, the ring of fire presages a moment of illumination and revelation.

How to Move Through the Portal

The most important thing we can do as we move through this extraordinary energy field is to stay as open as we can to the profound evolutionary intention of these energies. Three things in particular are of utmost importance:















* Consciously release outlived, outworn energies from your life. From emotional patterns to relationships to possessions and circumstances, releasing the old creates space for the new. You don’t even have to know how to release some of ourmost deeplyheld patterns. The most important thing is to be willing -- and to let hte Universe know that you are.



* Create as much unstructured time as you can in the next few days – for meditation, play, joy, in whatever ways tap your right brain reservoirs of receptivity and intuitive wisdom.



* Connect with the Source, in whatever ways have the most meaning and power for you. Ask for guidance and open your heart.



This eclipse field will be active until November 17. Because of the extraordinary energies unfolding in so many people with whom I work, I am extending my special offer on Evolutionary Breakthrough Readings until the Taurus Full Moon on November 17.







May the days ahead be rich with blessings and breakthroughs for you!



Love and blessings,
