Sin Eaters

 In not so ancient history people hired someone to be a sin eater with the belief that special  food prepared for the purpose of having the “sin eater” consume it that the sins were consumed through the food and the deceased could ascend to heaven. 

Today many believe food prepared by an angry person is unhealthy or toxic which may or may not be true although there is interesting research about the impact on something when negative energy bombards it. Dr Emoto of Japan has done extensive research with profound photographs of water influenced by specific words spoken into it. Words like hate and love significantly change the molecular structure as shown in his book and on his website. If so then it’s worth considering how what you consume may be influenced by specific energy.

The idea of saying a prayer, grace, before a meal can be worth consideration as this usually includes asking the food be blessed.

 People can eat presumed healthy food while some simply eat whatever they’re inclined regardless of health or any other reason that seems to be both effectual and ineffectual. Fads and about food frequently changes and what’s prescribed changes and yet the ideal diet has yet to be determined.

Some types of toxic people include narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, and antisocial personality disorders, bipolar disorder and a long list of unhealthy mental states. That doesn’t mean someone will get sick by eating food prepared by them but potential psychic or emotional links seem to be a form of binding or influence. Clearly eating “healthy” and striving to maintain good nutrition is worthwhile and yet individuals seem to be subject to other factors such as hopefulness, faith and numerous ideologies.

This evening at 10:34 PM ET there is a Full Super Moon Eclipse in Pisces visible in the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, Antarctica, the western Indian Ocean, Polynesia and the Atlantic Ocean and will be seen near the planet Saturn. This is a mysterious energy creating sensitivity, emotional peaks and an open door to other realms. As I’ve been saying the last two weeks and before – it’s good o have what you can lined up and set by now and take time to meditate and contemplate. Visualization is enhanced as is all forms of creativity. Connection to higher dimensions more easily brings insight. This resonation may last for weeks and even months due to other alignments that deepens dreams and your otherworldly mindset so journaling and making note of unusual experiences is a good idea. Knowing where it activates specific areas of your natal chart gives further information about how you’re likely affected.

Following this in a few days on September 22 is the Autumn Equinox which is equal day and equal night and the beginning of the Sun transiting Libra. Many will be striving to balance and understand the outer world and find harmony within.

The Sun and Mercury play important roles in this week’s energy as they both make pivotal angles of influence. The Sun in Virgo trine Uranus and Pluto plus opposing Neptune is dynamic in that the impetus to make decisions and desire to take significant action is strong. Society and the collective consciousness moves in a kind of unison while individually each feels drawn to be part of it while simultaneously acting independently, all the while linked to the cosmos. The compelling urge is there across the board even when choosing to avoid or embrace it. Contemplation and meditation upon these higher energies is extending awareness resulting in more doors open for moving in unison with a higher order. A trine of the Sun in Virgo to Uranus in Taurus benefits unique perspectives and the trine to Pluto in the last degree of Capricorn is an almost breathless urge to take the initiative to rebirth some aspect of your life. All this is in the earth element that’s a more ominous sense of need and the flow of support for manifesting. The Virgo Sun opposing Neptune in Pisces calls for giving careful thought to the nebulous and unclear so you can remain grounded in reality. This can benefit your spirit self making it easy to attune to higher realms and commune within your beliefs. The week is wonderful for exploring dreams, aspirations and your inner psyche.  Mercury angles help with this and also calls for discernment in all matters.

Happy Autumn Equinox!

The Sun enters Libra September 22, making the day the beginning of a new season and new energy relating to refinement of your life overall. Many will celebrate through ritual, meditation and other activities to honor nature and this turning point for our home planet. For the next month there is striving toward understanding others and seeing the dynamics in relationships including any association you might have with the public. Social media and news will be very busy trying to keep up with all that occurs from now on and into October.

The Sun moving from pragmatic Virgo to a higher echelon of Libra calls for discernment and understanding the ways you’re connected to other people and significant others. The give and take of relationships looms large as does any relationship you have with the public. Realizing and refining those dynamics is strengthening. Here in the Northern Hemisphere it’s the Autumn (Fall) Equinox that is a balance of night and day as its half way between summer and winter.

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

 peaks on September 17, is also known as the Harvest Moon. It’s another Supermoon because it’s one of four Supermoons in a row. The eclipse of this Moon is mysterious and mystical especially in Pisces that opens doors of greater perception and possibly other realms. You might ask yourself, what are you harvesting? It’s good to have gathered and collected what you want to sustain for the months ahead and at the time of this peak is beneficial to reflect and contemplate your life as it relates to what you have that you value and wish to keep. In history it was a time to stock pantries and store goods. Animals have grown and many now are on their own, crops are harvested and life has settled into a routine of sustainability. Aligned with Neptune this creates an opening veil between the earth plane and other realms as well and it sensitizes you with greater insight.

Energy grows and Jupiter helps to manifest more positivity blessings and opportunity. Mercury in Virgo encourages communication and gaining ground where needed making it easier to take steps forward. This is a good week to think about your needs and wants so you can line them up and get going or at least plant seeds in an affirmative direction. The week builds to a really nice energy on Sunday, Venus trine Jupiter, which is a mellow and encouraging vibration lending ways to grow inner peace and make beneficial connections of like-mind. For those inclined, intellectual pursuits benefit as does all forms of creativity. Socializing is great although the angle generously helps roaming through your artistic abilities and being creative even in small ways such as tweaking a recipe. Time spent enjoying solace is valuable. It’s easier to be more visionary and optimistic.
