Autumn Equinox and The Ducks Fly Moon

Autumn Equinox
The Ducks Fly Moon

Tonight is Equinox, a time of transition from one season into the next. A time in which we prepare ourselves for the long winter months ahead. Equinox is a time for giving thanks for all we have harvested in the past months; our crops; the belongings we've acquired; the love we've received. This is also the time for The Ducks Fly Moon, the first moon positioned in the west of the Medicine Wheel.

Last night as I rode through the mountains at sunset on my motorcycle, I was blessed with the appearance of hawk at two separate occasions. Two herds of antelope also appeared at different times in the evening. However, I was honored by the sighting of a pair of Ravens sitting on a branch high above looking out at me. Raven is the power animal under The Ducks Fly Moon. Raven teaches us about balance; how to soar and dive; how to connect with both earth and sky.

As I was reflecting on all that I saw, I realized another significance ? the number 2. Two herds of antelopes, two hawks and 2 ravens. The number 2 symbolizes balance. A balance of light and dark, good and evil, give and receive, etc. I then felt my heart speak. Of Course! Two represents relationships. Whether the relationship is with a family member, a professional relationship, or with a significant other. By focusing on each of our relationships, we can find enrichment as long as the relationship is balanced and not one sided.

Tonight marks another new beginning and I will begin the ceremony with giving thanks for all I have been blessed with. I look forward to the new moon and season and the lessons that will appear.

I wish you a beautiful transition of love and peace!

Namaste!
