Dear Friends,
This
year's Autumn Equinox is ushered in by a New Moon on September 20 in Virgo -
whose symbol is a virgin with shaft of wheat; Virgo analyzes to make things
right. On September 21, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish
New Year begins.
It is also the International Day of Peace.
On September 22
the Sun enters Libra, the sign of balance. The Autumnal Equinox arrives – the
turning point for the new season.
May this season
bring us the peace and balance that we need.
Winds of change
stop
raging, why this constant
sorting wheat from chaff?
Can't
you see my sword of light
unsheathed, balanced
on
the edge of night and day
already
poised
to hasten truth's uprising?
