Express Your Inner Authority on September’s Full Moon + Yogic Guidance
The mid-month oracle energy card I pulled for myself is THE ANGEL OF STRENGTH. As the image above shows, a lion gazes with certainty, willpower and active energy. I recently dreamt of a tiger that bore the same qualities, a mature tiger that silently lay in front of me on the edge of a clifftop with a palpable ferocious power, an animal that I knew to be tied to me karmically, as if she was part of my family. There was immense fear of dishonouring her, immense fear of being on her wrong side and of invoking her sovereign rage.
This ‘family-connection’ is interesting as Pitru-Paksha approaches following this month’s full moon which arrives on the 21st. In the Hindu/Vedic calendar this is a two-week time period where the veils between the living and the spirit world are thinned, giving us a window to honour our ancestors, and in particular, those in our recent generations who have passed.
Moon will be in Pisces, and in Uttarabhadra, whose symbol is the latter half of a funeral cot. Like the tiger in solitude sitting on the tip of the cliff, both hanging on the edge towards death and the creature that can deliver death itself, this constellation offers a deeper journey into otherworlds — the depths of our consciousness — being as it is, ruled by Ahir Bhudhanya, the serpent of the deep sea.
This dragon that is part of Shiva’s army, invites us to explore our kundalini energy, offering the power of passion and purification. Uttarabhadra is also known as the “Warrior Star” and fits well into my own deep subconscious and karmic themes relating to the tiger/anger/strength/authority that has arrived as my own mid-month guidance — which I now offer to you. A message to help release and transform grief around death/family and to embrace one’s inner power in order to journey further towards the spiritual plane.
Moksha, after all, is the goal of yoga.

TANTRA
Balance of Masculine and Feminine
(Reversed.)
Tantra — a teaching that aims to liberate us from bondage: ‘tan’ meaning to expand — ‘tra’ the instrument, system or technique that reveals the path. Tantra “includes practices from ritual to formless meditation to reach the light and energy of Consciousness and Bliss within, Shiva and Shakti.” — Acharya David Frawley.
This oracle, reversed, encourages you to look where your masculine and feminine energies are unbalanced. Where is the forcing and pushing in your life? Can you allow in more softness and flow? Look again to where there is too much yielding and surrender, can you create more structure to add a sense of balance and wholeness? Identify exactly what you need to do. What habits, rituals and practices can support you in this integration?
Examine where unconscious behaviour is taking the upper hand and gather and harness the right knowledge and teachings to liberate your mind and body from ignorance. Continue to focus on your self-purification practices and spiritual development.
