We are asking for love donations at this time during our online church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times. We are not meeting in person so can't pass around the offering plate to help us with ongoing operating expenses that need to be paid: partial rent, full insurance, Zoom fees, payment to the national organization, to name a few. https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html Scroll to 'Online Church Service'. Sunday September 25 New Moon in Libra This New Moon brings open, expansive, and gentle energy, reminding us to focus on finding our balance. The cosmic music that flows from this New Moon is sweet, harmonious, and aligned to help us vibrate with our true and highest Self. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, opportunity, and abundance is very active under this New Moon, adding to its sweetness. There will be a strong illuminatory effect to this New Moon, allowing us to see things with a greater clarity and higher perspective. As things are illuminated for us, the sweet energy of Jupiter inspires us to focus on the silver lining or the positive side of things, no matter what is brought into our awareness. The energies of the Libra New Moon are also calling for us to focus on simplicity. Be mindful of what you choose to take on during this time and see if you can approach everything from a simple mindset, rather than getting swept up in all the little details or what-if scenarios. If this New Moon could talk, it would encourage us to simplify our lives. It would say- Try to see the lightness in any burdens that are weighing on you, try to laugh at yourself, or at the situation if you can. Forgive yourself, release yourself from anything that feels heavy on your shoulders. Simplify your thinking and thought processes. Allow lightness to radiate through your being and into whatever feels complicated in your life. https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-libra-new-moon-september-2022 ========= Monday September 26 Rosh Hashanah ========= Tuesday September 27 NSAC 129th Anniversary!

September 9 - October 2 Mercury Retrograde through Libra and Virgo The third Mercury Retrograde of the year starts on September 9, lasting until October 2. Mercury will enter retrograde in the air sign of Libra, making its way back into the earth sign, Virgo, on September 23. As Mercury moves through Libra from September 9-22, it may highlight our relationships. Old relationships may come back into our lives in some way, or we may feel it necessary to leave some relationships in the past. We may also feel confused or indecisive about a certain relationship in our lives. As Mercury moves through Virgo from September 23 onwards, we may need to address the motivation behind our daily habits, particularly the habits that relate to our health and well-being. Is our motivation rooted in alignment or somewhere else? Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2, but won’t be back to its former strength and energy until October 16. https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-mercury-retrograde-september-october-2022 Image: 'Mr Ducrow as Mercury' by M. & M.

Saturday September 10 Full Harvest Moon in Pisces The Harvest Moon reaches its peak illumination at 5:58 AM ET on September 10. The energy around the Pisces Full Moon is really urging us to go slow and to take our time. It is really urging us to listen and find our stillness. Pisces is the last of the 12 zodiac signs and represents the end of a cycle, so this Full Moon may very well bring an ending or culmination point to a cycle we have been working on. We may find that we can harvest the fruits of our labor, or a chapter we have been working on finally comes to a close. Be sure you keep your arms open to whatever the Universe wants to bring and trust in the timing.
