Astrorisa Moon Forecast: Welcoming the 999 Portal

Welcoming the 999 Portal

The 999 portal on September 9, 2025, is a potent numerological event that can be greatly enhanced by understanding its alignment with astrology. The numerological themes of endings, completion, and new beginnings are reflected and amplified by the specific planetary transits occurring today.
The Sun is in Virgo.
The Moon is in Aries.
Mars is in Libra.
Saturn is retrograded in Pisces.
Jupiter is in Gemini.

The combination of these aspects creates a dynamic day for the 999 portal. The impulsive fire of the Aries Moon and the grounded nature of the Virgo Sun create a potent push-pull. You may feel a powerful urge to take immediate action, but the Virgo energy reminds you to do so with careful planning and intention.

With Saturn in Pisces and Mars in Libra, the day is highly focused on a spiritual and relational clearing. It’s a day for releasing karmic baggage and making decisions about relationships that are no longer in alignment with your true purpose.

Jupiter in Gemini encourages mental and social expansion. This transit suggests that as you close out old chapters, your new beginnings will be fueled by new ideas, learning, and communication. The 999 portal could bring about the end of old thought patterns and the beginning of a new intellectual journey, encouraging you to share your newfound wisdom with others.

The overall message of the astrological transits on September 9, 2025, is one of purposeful action. This is not a day for passive waiting. It is a day to consciously and mindfully participate in the end of one cycle and the beginning of another, using the practical and communicative energies available to build a more authentic and purposeful life.

Rose Sugar Navettes: Honoring Mary Magdalene

Danielle Prohom Olson

I’m sharing this recipe for Rose Sugar Navettes (little boats) in honor of the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene on July 22nd. Today these were eaten across Provence, as they have been for several centuries, to commemorate the arrival of the “Three Marys” at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (after the crucifixion) in a divinely guided, rudderless boat. While they are traditionally scented with orange blossom water, I’ve substituted rose water in homage to the Magdalene’s secret flower, not to mention the crunchy sugar topping made with fresh rose petals! Positively redolent with a fragrance so divine, it’s no wonder the rose was the sacred flower of goddesses around the world. That’s the beauty of these simple, rustic cakes; they are suitable for any celebration honoring the divine feminine, whether Christian or pagan.

Solace Stones: Retreating into Stone Spirit Medicine ~ Krista Mitchell

There is a solstice occurring tomorrow, Saturday Dec. 21st.

In the northern hemisphere at dawn this will herald the rebirth of the sun and the return of the light.

In the southern hemisphere at sunset there will be a gala of light meant to raise us to ascendency.

Both are rites of passage and devotion that were once held sacred by the wise ones of old.

They would gather or retreat within stone circle and dolmen. They would purify and pray. And then they would prepare to commune with their higher powers, receive the Earth’s song, and heal from the geomagnetic energy that poured through the stones themselves.

While in our modern times this no longer occurs, the stones still stand, and they remember.

I can feel within our own community here an increased desire for fellowship, communion, and to have a genuine experience of the sacred. This is understandable in a world that feels increasingly unsafe, uncertain, disconnected, and cruel.

But it’s also something in our blood: I firmly believe that all of us here walking the spiritual path now have walked it before, in lives past, and we remember the circles and rites of old.

We remember the stones, too.

It’s why we feel a pull to crystal and stone, water and trees, the sun and stars, and each other.

Crystals for deep listening: Nuummite, Moonstone, Labradorite, Amethyst

When I feel lost I know now to retreat into Spirit. I take hold of a crystal that sings to me, close my eyes, and listen for its voice. I drop down deep within, and I listen for my soul’s voice, too.The collective crystalline consciousness that I channel teaches us that Spirit finds us in silence. That all we need to do to reconnect with the Sacred is to simply go quiet, let ourselves have some peace, and listen.Tomorrow there will be plenty of circles (you can join the replay of mine, here), and ritual ideas and tips, but for some of you it may be the simple act of finding your own inner sacred that will bring you the greatest healing, or peace, or revelation.Spirit and consciousness is in all things, which means it’s in you, too.If you can tomorrow, or any time leading up to the end of the year, see if you can carve out some time for quiet for yourself. To sit simply with a crystal, and listen. To let the Earth’s song rise up through and around you, and remember your magic. Wishing you all the best of the season. ~ Krista Mitchell

Embracing the Magic of the Summer Solstice in Your Herb Garden

The Herb Society of America Blog

unnamed (2) The summer solstice is a time when the natural world is ablaze with life, when the energies of light and warmth are at their peak. This celestial dance of light and shadow held profound significance for our ancestors. It was a time of celebration and thanks for the coming harvests, and a time to relax for a bit and play. Still today, some cultures celebrate by kindling fires, symbolizing the transformative power of the sun, and many communities gather to dance, sing, and rejoice in the abundance of the season.

Within the realms of folklore, the summer solstice is a moment in time when the veils between the human world and the realm of faeries grow gossamer thin. It is said that on the summer solstice eve, you may catch a glimpse of these ethereal beings, frolicking amidst the meadows and woodlands, their presence evoking a sense of wonder and…
