as two people walking down the street together holding hands and en- joying each other’s company. People who care for you will understand when you express your need for making fewer commitments so you take care of your needs. When you understand that loving yourself leads to increased pos- itive relationships, you fully understand the full Moon that occurs on September 29th. With the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Aries, you want to be involved in relationships without losing your identity. You also want to provide emotional support to those you love as well as receive the same form of emotional support from them. This is when you realize the best way to live your life is to find the balance you need between your individuality and your relationships. And this realiza - tion continues to be important during the month of October when you experience the last two eclipses of the year — the annular solar eclipse on October 14th, and the partial lunar eclipse on October 28th. The annular solar eclipse is a spectacular event, perhaps even more so than a total solar eclipse. It occurs at the time of a new Moon when both luminaries are in the same sign; in this case, both the Sun and Moon are in the sign of Libra. What makes this eclipse so spectacular is the Moon doesn’t fully cover the Sun when it goes between the earth and the Sun. Instead, what you see is a “Ring of Fire”, where the edges of the Sun splay out and caress the Moon. If you live in or travel to the western portions of the United States, or Central America, Colombia, and Brazil, you’ll have the opportunity to experience this event. (By the way, mark your calendar for the next total solar eclipse in the Unit - ed States which will be April 8, 2024.) If you realize the Sun represents your social persona and the Moon your private persona, this eclipse indicates the need to fade into the background while you determine the next steps you want to take in life, especially with relationships. You don’t want other people telling you how to live. Instead, you want to think about your next plan of action before you engage with other people. As the partial lunar eclipse occurs on October 28th, you feel this need to take some form of action. Yet with the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Taurus, you still feel the need to maintain some privacy in your life. Again, you don’t want other people telling you how to live your life; you want to make your own decisions. For this reason, other people may feel you’ve withdrawn a bit too much, but that’s all right. You need this time for yourself. During the month of November, finding your focus, and feeling driven to develop solutions becomes even more important for you, es- pecially when the new Moon occurs on November 13th. Both the Sun and Moon are in the sign of Scorpio, as are Mars and Ceres; snd, these four energy points in Scorpio all form an opposition to Uranus retro - grade. You feel as if your life is going to explode if you don’t start mov - ing forward with your plans. At the same time, you want to understand what is driving other people in your life. You actually don’t want to act on your own; you’d rather do things with others. But, if you need to take action alone, you will. This is how driven you are to find solutions and implement them right now. When the full Moon occurs on November 27th, you’ll be glad you started implementing some, if not all, of your solutions. With the Sun in Sagittarius forming a conjunction to Ceres and Mars, you want to have a home that feels safe and pleasant. You also want to experience various aspects of your spiritual growth and share these experienc- es with others. With the Moon in Gemini opposing Ceres and Mars, you’re willing to make changes to your home or your spiritual ap - proach, and communicate these changes with people you love. As Fall draws to a close and Winter starts to approach, you realize one important thing about these shifting energies — they have all been about you… What you need to express your individuality. The type of relationships you need for emotional and spiritual support. And the values which express how you live your life. © 2023 Misty Kuceris | Misty Kuceris is a Certified Astrological Professional, a Reiki Master, and Co-founder of the NOVA Astrology Group.

Eric Weinstein It’s Not Therapy (It’s Problem Solving)
Did you know that: • Licensed therapists are limited to certain approaches by “standards of care” that leave out a number of highly effective healing modalities? • Even if you’re paying out-of-pocket for your sessions, your therapist might be unable to use anything “different” because of insurance company requirements and state regulations? I’m not a therapist, but I always have therapists among my clients. They come to me for: • the most ancient healing modality (shamanic healing) • proven, but less conventional modalities (hypnosis/ NLP and Eye Movement Integration [similar to EMDR, but gentler]) • the most exciting new energy modalities (Energy Psychology, such as EFT or “tapping” on meridian points, biofield work, and chakra manipulation) • intriguing coaching modalities (including Motivational Interviewing, True Purpose coaching, and Archetypal coaching) And they come for all the same problems they’ve seen one of their more conventional colleagues for – as well as problems of a spiritual/energetic nature. So, whether you’re struggling with the newer stresses of the pandemic or with older issues that keep you from being who you want to be, call to find out how I can help.
