SEPTEMBERS 22

9/22/2023 Sun in Virgo, Moon in Sagittarius (Earth, fire) (equinox)

On this twenty-second day of September, the 265th day of our earthly journey, we are gently reminded of the preciousness of time, a gift that flows through our lives like a sacred river. With a mere one hundred days remaining in this annual cycle, let us pause to contemplate the profound significance of this date in the tapestry of history.

In the year 1692, upon this very day, our land, known today as the United States, bore witness to a somber and harrowing chapter in its narrative—the closing act of the infamous Salem witch trials. It was a time when fear cast its shadow over reason, and ignorance ignited a tempest of hysteria. Nineteen souls met their fate at the end of a hangman's noose, while six others succumbed to the torment of those trying times.

This historical ordeal stands as an indelible testament to the treacherous path fear and ignorance can pave, a path that can lead even the most righteous astray. It serves as an eternal reminder of the imperative values of justice, empathy, and the unyielding importance of critical thought in the heart of our society.

As we continue our odyssey through the river of time, may we carry forth the lessons of history, transforming them into beacons of illumination for our future. Let us forge a world where compassion and understanding extinguish the fires of prejudice and superstition. Armed with the light of knowledge and the shield of wisdom, let us build a future where all beings may thrive.

Every dawn that graces us with its presence is an opportunity—a chance to etch our mark upon the scroll of existence. Let us seize each moment with hearts full of gratitude and minds fueled by purpose, as we journey onward, collectively authoring the story of progress and enlightenment for generations yet to come.

Remember, You are mystical AF!
