September Celestial Forecast is ready jpgSeptember in Britain is back to school after the summer holidays. It's the month of harvest, blackberries abound on the bramble bushes and apples are plentiful on the trees, conkers and chestnuts are starting to ripen.

The month of September was named after 'septimus' meaning the 7th month in Latin. September was the 7th month of the year before July and August were inserted to commemorate Julius and Augustus Caesar. To the Anglo-Saxons, September was called Hālig-mōnaþ meaning ‘Holy Month.

During September, we have the Equinox on 22nd, when night and day are equal length across the globe. This is co-inciding with the Khemitian (Khem being the ancient name for Egypt) Festival of the Two Lands. We can also look forward to three other annual Egyptian Festivals (4th, 5th & 19th) plus a selection of Jain (9th-11th), Chinese/Confucian (28th), and Roman (17th) annual commemorations and USA celebrates Labor day on the 6th. Sarah Jane has re-started her Women's Circle Moon Lodges, which is meeting on Friday 17th.  We have Forest Bathing events on the 9th (London SW20) & 19th (Shere). The Full Moon takes place on the night of Monday 20th with the Harvest Moon peaking at 00.55 on the 21st; our Full Moon Meditation is 7.30-9.30pm (UK time) on Monday 20th. Harmony Healing Violet Flame of Amenti intractve online course starts on Tuesday 21st September.

01 Sep ecclesiastic calendarWednesday 1st September is the beginning of the Ecclesiastical Year the traditional Christian calendar. in Nicaea (325 AD), The First Ecumenical Council decreed that the Church year should start on 1st September. For the Hebrews, the month of September was the beginning of the civil year (Exodus 23:16), the month of gathering harvest and offering of thanks to God.

04 sep AnpuSaturday 4th September is the Ancient Egyptian Ceremony of Transformation through Anpu (Anubis). 

An MP3 Meditation to overcome negative behaviour patterns is available from the Harmony Shop. The Egyptians believed that when a deceased soul entered the Halls of Amenti they would undergo a ceremony involving the metaphorical weighing of the heart (of the deceased) against Maat's feather.  During this ceremony, the weight of the heart represented the degree to which the deceased had lived in truth, measured by how much he/she had sinned; the more he/she had sinned the heavier the heart. The meditation guides you through a journey with Anpu to see how you would fare if your heart was weighed against Maat's feather at this point in your life. Whilst this meditation was devised for use on 4th September, it can be used anytime.
 
Anpu is the illegitimate child of Nebt-Het (Nephthys), born of her clandestine union with Ausar (Osiris) but raised as the son of Set. Cast out when his true lineage was discovered, he became associated with dark and lonely places, a wanderer through the shadow-realm between life and death, Anpu therefore bearing witness to the darker side of mortality. He seeks out those lost souls who find themselves without guidance after their demise. He guards the Entrance to the Underworld, presided over by his true father Ausar.  Hence, all who die will find themselves in the presence of this mysterious Jackel-headed God, who escorts them away from this world and to the gates of the next.  
 
An informative laminated poster of Anpu (Anubis) by Jacqui Taliesin El Masry is available from the Harmony Shop along with other Egyptian Deity posters by Jacqui.
