Many centuries ago, an enlightened master named Medicine Buddha made a sacred vow to heal all sentient beings so they may live a life free from illness, pain and suffering. Through historically, this healing practice has been taught only to select initiates who had practiced meditation for many years, under the guidance of MahaVairocana Dharma King, DeChan Jueren, HanMi Esoteric Buddhism is offering this Dharma to the public because of the great need in the world at this time.

September promises to be a very interesting month…..

Not only is September energetically a harbinger of change, as it contains the Equinox which heralds the advent of Fall, but the celestial weather contained with in the month - the position of the planets and how they relate to each other, indicates that these changes will swing from smooth and stable to wild and exciting.

This year the month of September begins with a stellium or grouping of all the personal planets - that is the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Venus and the Moon - in Virgo with in 10 degrees of each other. They are also beginning to move into a trine with Uranus - the planet of unexpected change and events and Saturn the planet of lessons, rules, boundaries and limitations.

This is a somewhat rare event and can be an indication of an unexpected opportunity for change appearing in your life. This change contains the possibility of great benefit but it also contains the potential for some real down sides - or lessons. The twist of course is that both are impossible to predict and so it is a difficult time to really know what practical results our actions and decisions may have.

This month is in Virgo which is a practical, focused and analytical energy. It would be in keeping with this energy to create a risk analysis sheet in conjunction with doing creative visualization in order to understand how best to move forward successfully with any changes we may be considering. Be aware that these proffered changes may contain the potential to have long range effects reaching well beyond next year.

In moving forward it is also important to take into consideration the fact that every situation contains the energy of both the seen and the unseen. Of course we can only make decisions based on the seen but both are inextricably linked to the risks and benefits inherent in the the current time. (hence the risk analysis suggestion). So before selling everything and moving to the Bahamas on a yacht you might want to review any projected weather patterns and other potential situational possibilities before getting really excited about making that change. This is good time to work on reconciling dreams and reality in a practical fashion.

September is also the time to take care of your health as we begin to move into the colder months and the flu season. Mars in Virgo is considered an indication of a potential increase in health issues and often portends a bad flu and allergy season - start taking good care of yourself now.
