Beloved Friends.

This month, we are moving deeper into the collective fire and the  process of dissolution. Here in the states, we are approaching an  election that feels for many like life or death. Divisiveness runs  rampant and lives are being challenged and changed in an instant. In  nature (in the northern hemisphere), we are entering the deep release of  autumn with shapeshifting happening everywhere around us. Astrologer  and Yogini Tracy Mohr reminds us that October also begins with a full  moon in the fiery sign of Aries which is ruled by Mars (the god of war)  and Mars in retrograde, sitting in challenging aspects to Saturn  (Governance) and Pluto (Death/Rebirth & Personal Power).

All of this to say that the communal Kiln is burning hot right now.  And like all fires, it has the power to both destroy and create.
