The Astrology of September
features
Mercury,
Venus and
Mars, plus another powerful
Full Moon toward the end of the month, bringing the
Pluto-Saturn-Uranus
T-square, now temporarily fading, back into a brief but sharp
prominence.

Mercury is still
retrograde as the month begins, remaining within its shadow
period until nearly the end of September. This has so far been a
particularly strong
Mercury retrograde period, especially for those with planets
in the Mutable signs of
Virgo,
Gemini,
Pisces and
Sagittarius.
Mercury
conjuncts the
Sun on Friday morning, September 3rd and returns to
direct motion on the 12th. These are two highlights of this
retrograde period, times when the usual madness will be at
its peak: missed connections, mechanical breakdowns and having
to redo everything. When
Mercury
stations direct on Sunday, September 12th, it makes aspects
to
Pluto and
Saturn, so this is sure to be a particularly dicey day.
Meanwhile
Venus and
Mars continue their dance into
Scorpio, where
Venus is preparing to make a rare
retrograde of her own as early as October. They were
conjunct in
Libra during the last half of August, and will be
conjunct again in
Scorpio as
Venus slows down, during late September and on into October.
Relationship-oriented
Venus together with
Mars, in
Mars' own sign of
Scorpio, will be interesting to say the least. We will be
looking under the covers of all types of partnerships,
attempting to discern the deeper motive. Intensity of emotions
and also of desire becomes our relationship watchword. As
Venus
retrogrades on October 8th we will be refining and
revisioning our concept of the relationship energy that we have
for others and with regard to specific partners in our lives
also.
Another even more significant dance being played out by the
planets throughout the years of this very climactic decade is of
course, the
square of
Uranus with
Pluto. Even though
Uranus has slipped back into
Pisces, remaining there for the next few months, this
square is still a potent factor in the astrology of our
times, reflecting the collective and individual angst that we
all feel in the face of massive and dramatic change.
Uranus in late
Pisces is still only 4 degrees away from its
square with
Pluto during September.
Uranus in
Pisces is however definitely somewhat muted in its effects
until March, when it once more enters
Aries, shepherded in by
Jupiter. The
Uranus-Jupiter
conjunction remains active in
Pisces all during the intervening time, an inclination for
breakthrough which accents the transformational component of the
Uranus-Pluto
square. Thus a quieter and more empathetic and compassionate
energy that wills new ideas into being is still a potent factor
for change throughout the winter months and on into spring. In
that point the impulse for radical changes in ourselves and in
the surrounding society becomes much stronger.
The
Full Moon of Wednesday night and early Thursday morning,
September 22nd and 23rd, occurs exactly on the
Aries point, and is therefore coincident with the Fall
Equinox. This configuration briefly re-emphasizes the
Uranus-Pluto
square – and these planets in T-square
with
Saturn – just as the fullest intensity of this aspect from
the summer months begins to fade slightly. At the time of the
Full Moon we therefore might expect a resurgence of the urge
for transformation in our lives that supersedes every other
factor, even personal safety. In another way of looking at
things, we aren't really safe as long as we remain stuck in
dysfunctional patterns that do not ultimately serve us. It's a
question of experiencing the slow and lingering death of our
most cherished ideals versus the relative danger of seizing the
moment for change and choosing to ride it; for change after all
is the essence of life itself.
Transits to the U.S. Chart
Last month we indicated that the
period from the 4th to the 11th, leading up to the Solar Eclipse
that took place on the U.S. Sun / Mercury midpoint, and the days
immediately following the Full Moon of Sunday, July 25th, might
be an important time for media revelations that serve to shake
us up and expose the hypocrisy and deception of our American
age. Why the exposing of deception? As the Cardinal T-square
makes difficult aspects to the U.S. Midheaven, representing the
powers that be, transiting Neptune (deception) remains on U.S
Moon, representing the public, and was closely aspected by
Saturn as well during this period. It is interesting to peruse
the headlines before and immediately after last month’s key
lunations. Many of these headlines occurred on July 7th, a day
when both transiting Mercury and Moon strongly aspected U.S.
Mercury, representing the media.
BP Oil Spill of 2010. This
is of course the news story that is on everyone’s mind,
almost as big in its own way as 911. The country has been
shaken to its very foundations, especially by the manifest
lack of competence and intentional misinformation, as well
as the absence of governmental oversight or control of Big
Oil in general and BP in particular. Last month the
revelations continued. Leading up to the Sunday eclipse
date, on July 8th
Democracy Now! reported:
BP meanwhile says it’s now aiming to seal off the well by
the end of the month, weeks before the company’s public
deadline. The new July 27th target coincides with BP’s date
to report second-quarter earnings and speak to investors.
The coincidence of dates is too good to be accidental. Of
course the issue is PR versus actual benefit to the
environment; a similar concern to what was raised when BP
took out millions of dollars worth of ads in the wake of the
disaster. BP has also been accused of being more concerned
with image over substance in initially under-reporting the
actual estimated flow from the ruptured well. Interestingly,
on July 12th, the day after the Solar Eclipse, a former
contractor of BP was quoted on New Orleans radio station
WDSU (according to Democracy Now) as follows: “the bottom
line is just about money. There are some very cutthroat
individuals. They’re not worried about cleaning up that
spill as it is... I will never have loyalty to this company.
I will always have loyalty to my country. And my country
comes first. What this company is doing to this country
right now is just wrong."
In other news – on July 7,
Democracy Now reported that a US Army whistle-blower named
Bradley Manning was charged with releasing a video of
indiscriminant killings of civilians in Iraq and over 50
State Department memos to the Wikileaks site. This story had
a follow-up at the time of the subsequent Full Moon on July
25th when over 90,000 memos from Iraq were leaked to the
same Australian Internet site. For the full story see
Democracy Now! and
Democracy Now!
In a follow-up to the
McChrystal firing, the U.S. Military announced new
guidelines for magazine or other interviews. This item also
appeared in the week between July 4th and 11th, namely on
July 7th. Under the new rules, top-level Pentagon and
military officials must first receive clearance before
agreeing to any interviews or public engagement.
Democracy Now!
Also on the same day,
President Obama met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and asserted that Israel has “shown restraint” in
recent months, this while the issue of West Bank settlements
is still brewing and after the well-publicized attack on a
flotilla coming to the aid of Gaza that killed 9. The
statement seems calculated to allay suspicions of any rift
between the two countries. Israel also attacked Gaza for 22
days at the very beginning of 2009, just before President
Obama took office, although he has always failed to comment
on this act.
Finally, on July 9th a
story surfaced that a tape existed of a conversation between
Kissinger and Nixon discussing a CIA assassination in Chile
on the eve of the overthrow of Salvador Allende. The only
newsworthy part of the disclosure was that the U.S. had
previously claimed no CIA involvement. For the full story
see
Democracy Now!
The above referenced news items all show a powerful undercurrent
of information counter to the official Government story, that is
becoming available over this summer timeframe, and of course in
particular during the key lunations that trigger these strong
outer planet alignments. Next month the same argument applies to
both the New Moon of August 9th and also to the Full Moon period
surrounding August 24th.

For everything,
Aries, there is a season, and this is the time to pull back
and turn contemplative regarding the changes that are still
coming down. You are entering an almost holy space of time in
which nothing is entirely as it seems and where partners protect
you and also challenge you within your deep dream of eventual
rebirth. Partnership is powerful for you during this time,
bringing limitation to the way that you manifest the important
relationships in your life, and also a sense of fulfillment. A
certain fuzziness you are experiencing feels somehow correct
although perhaps startlingly so from the standpoint of a
strictly logical viewpoint.
As the month begins, you are deep in a brown study, feeling
pulled to the inside by the ongoing
Mercury retrograde period as you examine your role in this
life and how far it goes toward matching up with soul purpose as
you currently understand that concept. There's a way you've been
extremely productive lately and yet in another way you are
paradoxically out of step, productive but not in any sense of
the word that matches up with consensus thinking. Your beliefs
have been changing lately as well. You are starting to get the
idea of a different raison d'etre for the life of worldly
activities, one that takes as its basis a more definite reliance
on the unseen aspects of the universe and of human nature. At
the time of the
New Moon of Wednesday, September 8th, there is fresh energy
for your purpose, and it only remains for you to figure out what
exactly that purpose truly is. It is likely that your sense of
mission in this lifetime will be enhanced by the arc of
development that you are experiencing over the course of this
month. It is an on-going process of understanding that takes you
ever closer to the goal of finally getting what it is that you
came here to do and be. The
First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, September 14th, might put
further wrinkles in your brain around these issues as you
struggle somewhat with how you might actually instantiate some
of the ideas emerging out of cosmic consciousness for you in
recent weeks. You are also putting some of the new concepts to
practical tests, in terms of health and fitness programs which
could be one focus now, and also issues of intimacy that could
be coming up for you as you struggle to integrate novel concepts
of relating and of soul growth within the mundane round of
ordinary life events. With the Fall Equinox and
Full Moon of Wednesday evening and Thursday morning,
September 22nd and 23rd, you are striving for a new balance
point of all areas of your life. This is particularly evident in
the way that you actualize yourself and bring your forces to
bear in the outer world of career and professional achievement,
which continues to represent a moving target for you. This is a
time when you will appreciate how far you have come, and also
perhaps recognize how far you still have to go to get to the
place that you really want to be. In any case, it is worth
remembering that nothing worthwhile comes easily. As the poet
says, once it is that you have climbed to the very top of the
mountain, you become aware of the higher summit that still
awaits you, as "hills peep over hills, and Alps on Alps arise!"
It's an interesting road
that you are on these days,
Taurus. After all that running around this summer,
you are slowing down right now, retrenching. You have
been getting serious about what you want to do with
yourself and this requires that you create a truly
imaginative interface with the world around you,
including partnership alliances. Your self-expression is
blossoming, and relationship issues continue to dominate
your planning. Through it all, you are striving to
resolve a tug-of-war between the practical and the
spiritually ideal. As you mull over your possibilities
for these next few weeks, you are holding out for
balance within your evolving worldview.
As the month begins you are enjoying the expansiveness
of this time of the year for you, with the
Sun residing in your sector of creative
self-expression. At the same time, you are feeling the
indecisiveness implied by
Mercury retrograding through this same area of your
chart. The
Mercury retrograde period includes the usual
miscommunications and mechanical breakdowns, but the
positive side is that this reflective period of time
enjoins you to look more closely within yourself and
attempt to discern where exactly it is that you are
heading at this moment in your life.
Mercury
conjoins the
Sun on the 3rd, and this will be one peak of the
retrograde period. As you reflect, with several
planets in your
Sixth House you are also thinking more concretely
about what you are truly about in this lifetime. Noted
humanistic astrologer Dane Rudhyar referred to this
sector of the chart as that of "discipleship to your
higher self," and you might feel like you are finally
getting closer to understanding what that sense of
mission could imply. Spiritual truth contrasts with
practicality as you explore your choices. The
New Moon of Wednesday, September 8th, gives you
fresh impetus for your ongoing development as you
continue to redefine yourself and your approach.
Partners come more firmly into the picture too at this
time, since your ruler
Venus crosses into your relationship sector. There
is a way that your own point of view is currently
modulated by the opinions of others, and that yet allows
you to retain your own unique individuality as you feel
your way into an uncertain end of the year. One thing
that is for sure is that your vision for future
possibilities is a moving target right now. This could
be scary or else exhilarating, depending on your
perspective at any one time. The
First Quarter Moon a week later, taking place on
Tuesday, September 14th, is a time when the rubber meets
the road with what you have in mind to accomplish in
terms of your own personal contribution.
Mars enters your seventh sector at this time, and so
relationships in your life are more active than ever,
and remain so for at least the next several weeks. With
the
Full Moon of Thursday, September 23rd, you come to a
kind of culmination which is also a further jumping-off
point for new adventures. Your demeanor is likely to
remain thoughtful, as you continue to assess the changes
and challenges of the summer months and cast your eye
more definitely on the future that is arising from them,
as your worldview continues shifting in response to
circumstances.
This is a time for
a different kind of progress,
Gemini. You are revving your engine but you are not covering
much ground. Although your ideas are coming fast and furious,
opening up a novel way forward into a future that you can really
believe in, you are also at the moment feeling somewhat stuck.
But, just as a fallow period is good for a field, and as the
butterfly must wait out its time of dormancy in the cocoon, so
you must watch and wait. By the end of the month you will emerge
stronger and wiser and ready to more fully inhabit your new
skin.
As the month begins, you are delving more deeply into home and
family issues that have been on your mind for quite some time
now. This is actually an excellent opportunity to refine your
viewpoint and to embrace a more expansive attitude on your life
in general, since your ruler
Mercury is retrograding through your root sector – home and
family concerns, psychological basis – and this continues in one
form or another until nearly the end of the month. This means
that you are rethinking all aspects of your physical and
psychical existence, including the sense of security you need to
remain content, which is usually wrapped up in some aspect of
your home environment. As you attempt to redefine yourself in
this area in some way, this is an excellent opportunity to
journal or to converse with a trusted confident concerning your
situation. There could be issues that come up for you now of
familial relationships versus your own deeper needs, or those of
private versus public or simply reflections involving the
physical nature of your surroundings. The
Last Quarter Moon in your sign at the very start of the
month, taking place on the 1st, makes for a degree of tension in
your process as you contemplate these factors and try to make
sense out of your summed-up perceptions. There could be
surprising developments in this timeframe, and also a few days
later, on the 3rd, when the
Sun and
Mercury are
conjunct. Then things could change again the following week,
with the
New Moon, which comes along on Wednesday, September 8th, in
the same sector of deep inner process and family issues. This
mid-week time period marks what is theoretically a fresh start
with whatever it is that you are attempting in this area, but in
another way all bets are off with
Mercury also retrograding through this same sector of your
chart. Creatively, you are also on both stop and go at this
time. You have tons of productive energy but you feel the need
to impose limits and set boundaries on that very productivity so
that it remains more firmly grounded in real-world parameters.
Another peak of the
Mercury retrograde period comes a few days later on the
12th, when the messenger of the gods changes direction turning
once more to
direct motion. The
First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, September 14th, signals a
time of trials when you are attempting to discern what portion
of what you are currently instigating might indeed be viable in
the months to come. With the
Full Moon of Thursday, September 23rd, you might be able to
come closer to an answer. This is a powerful time for you, when
once again you are enjoined to take a closer look at how your
visionary impulses mingle and coexist with hard-nosed practical
advice from others around you and from your own inner voices. It
is difficult walking the tightrope between them but good for
your spiritual evolution, which is benefiting from your
successes and even from the failures at achieving your
idealistic aims.
Your world is changing,
Cancer, and information is the enabler. In spite of multiple
levels of feelings, it is ideas that have your attention right
now, and your ideas change everything. You are continuing to
experience the tides of change that have been active all summer.
It seems in some ways that it is an embattled stand that you are
taking but you are also empowered to handle it and stay the
course. It is a painful place that you are visiting as your
philosophical viewpoint and your deep emotional basis
transforms. Not all of this transition can be pleasant,
including partnership fluctuations; but all is necessary however
for your evolving emotional health.
As the month begins, you are contemplating the deeper layers of
your existence.
Mercury remains still
retrograde in your communications sector, and you are in a
reflective rather than an outgoing mode. Your conversation, when
you feel like making it, is very likely slow and serious now,
and dwelling on cosmic verities. It's an ideal time for
journaling. There have been developments from the past few
months of an entirely revolutionary nature, and they have not
perhaps been fully integrated into your day-to-day thoughts.
These radical challenges to your more ordinary thinking involve
your relationship dynamic with significant partners in your life
and how this affects the exteriorization of your private self
out into the world. In this first week of the new month you are
busily mulling over these and other way stations in your
progress toward transcendence.
Mercury
conjoins the
Sun on Friday, September 3rd, and this signals a time when
you will find yourself even more internal, and embracing or else
resisting the transformation that is currently coming over you.
The
New Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday,
September 8th, represents a powerful tide of new energy for this
process of integration. You are now in a more communicative mode
with others around you, although with
Mercury still
retrograde there could be more wavering and introspection
than action in this regard. Of course it is well to allow
yourself the leisure to contemplate, and not necessarily to be
always doing, even though this notion runs against the grain of
modern fast-paced industrial society. The
First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, September 14th, might bring a
moment of tension to your process as your vision for a personal
new world order collides with the real-world requirements of
practicality and the expectations of others.
Mercury is still within its Zodiacal shadow for the next two
weeks so that any hard-and-fast decisions might be better off if
postponed, although this does remain an excellent time for
research. With the Fall Equinox and
Full Moon of the 23rd, the time has come for you to
acknowledge the depth of the changes that have been in motion
for many weeks now. Although this is an ongoing process and the
final results are not anywhere nearly all in, there is courage
to be taken from the gains thus far. Sometimes the enormity of
what has been achieved is only available with the perspective of
time.
You are in
the midst of a fallow period right now,
Leo, gathering the data that you will need as you
prepare the way for further changes still to come. There
are important lessons now, not least that seeking
security can be an illusion unless firmly grounded in
the spiritual basis of soul purpose. The outlook for
eventually achieving your goals remains bright, but you
might find yourself pulling back from the fray as you
re-examine your values. You will spend the next few
weeks and even months mulling over where you are going
and exploring your root psychology that serves as the
vehicle for getting you there.
As the month begins, you are in some ways fully grounded
in the real world of practical events. This summer has
placed you in a siege of contrasting energies, in which
brilliant flashes of insight have occurred, although
sometimes these seem only designed to make you pull back
into the safety of tried and true ways of being. They
have taken you thus far, after all, and still relatively
intact. It is a dilemma that has likely left you with
the determination to see your changes through in spite
of obstacles. This first part of the month is a
thoughtful time of respite when you are spending more
time mulling over the transformation that you are in the
midst of than actually living it. The dice are rolling
and you must in any case follow their fall and trust
they will take you to a closer understanding of your
true purpose in being here. With the
New Moon of Wednesday, September 8th, you are
pledging more than ever to take a stand. Your finances
are fluctuating, but these and other resources are there
to help you grow and not the other way around. In any
case they might easily receive a boost at this time,
since the
New Moon is lighting up that sector of your chart.
This is an educational moment for you as well, when you
might find that the information you receive from others
brings disparate factors together for you and allows you
to envision spiritual opportunity that still remains
grounded in practical concern. You might need to beware
somewhat of idealism at this time, especially in regard
to partnership with others, remembering to keep your own
council as the last and best resort. When the
First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, September 14th, comes
along, you will more clearly see what the realistic
probabilities are and also the inherent difficulties.
You have a focus on home and family concerns now that
contrasts with your more expansive outer and social
presence. With the
Full Moon of Thursday, September 23rd, you reach a
culmination of what you have been struggling with, but
further and taller hills rise beyond this first eminence
for you yet to climb. You might be forced to take
another look at where you thought that you were going,
and at issues of service and self-sacrifice that have
been coming up for you over these last few weeks and
months. There is an important purpose in these trials
and it is that you get a better handle on your true
destiny.
This is an excellent pause period,
Virgo, with your ruler
Mercury retrograding through your sign. Your on-going
metamorphosis has entered a new phase with the cooler weather.
Change continues but not so rapidly. Like a loaded spring you
have plenty of energy for forging ahead if you only knew where
to direct it. Janus-like, you are inching forward and yet you
are also looking backward, reviewing everything that you have
done and planned to do. Your finances too are settling down and
pinching back, leading up to a conservative end of the year. As
you consolidate, you are simultaneously opening up a new way for
moving ahead.
As the month begins, you are reveling in your new-found feelings
of self-sufficiency, which you are also a little scared of as
well. It is been an interesting summer for you, a time when you
have been more aware than before of your major ongoing
transformation in self-image and in your resultant creativity.
There are also implications for how you feel about the place you
stand in order to be able to make your own way forward,
independent of the voices of others. Since your ruler
Mercury is currently in
retrograde motion through your sign, it is a time right now
of reflection on where you have been and more importantly where
you are going in your present-day situation. One important time
and moment of even more poignant reflection is the
conjunction of the
Sun with
Mercury on Friday, September 3rd. Then the
New Moon in your sign of Wednesday, September 8th,
represents another important moment of time, when fresh energy
is available for your process of ever-increasing understanding.
You are on the road at this time to a more profound balance, a
deeper integration of all your parts. What holds you back is
what holds you together right now, a super-reliance on physical
process as a grounding for everything else that is to come. You
just have to beware falling into the common trap of imagining
that this is all that there is. It is in fact not even in the
majority. With the station of
Mercury on Sunday, September 12th, you might feel a shift in
the energy. You are even more aware of this sense of physical
grounding and also perhaps sensing the drawbacks as well as the
advantages. This is a powerful time for you, a sort of a time
out when you can step off the moving planet, at least in your
own mind, and peacefully survey the scene that you are normally
in the midst of. A couple of days later, the
First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, September 14th, represents
another important crossroads when you might feel the inherent
conflicts in what you are attempting as well as the progress
implied. You are emboldened by your unique path that helpful
partners have partially enabled for you to truly be all that you
can be, no matter how difficult it may seem or how much it might
seem to fly in the face of conventional wisdom. The
Full Moon of Thursday, September 23rd, represents both a
continuing triumph of self-assertion and a realization that new
challenges still await you, as you tune into the tension between
idealized inspiration and hard-nose practical limitation in your
struggle for finding your true self amidst the chaos of the
workings of the world.
This is a time of action and of
contemplation,
Libra. You are participating in both inner and outer realms
these days, with
Mercury retrograding through your sector of dream
imagination until at least mid-month. You are feeling into
renewed soul purpose that helps you to gather up the pieces of
your life and attempt to put the puzzle back together in a
different way. A new vision of what is possible could emerge
with the aid of helpful partners, based partly on a
re-evaluation of what you have to offer, and partly on a sense
of spiritual mission that you are only now beginning to fully
comprehend.
As the month begins, you are fathoming your depths and reviewing
the intelligence gathered. The daily papers and the Internet
convey a certain quality of message; what we might call news. At
any rate it is information of the outer world of events and
stated reactions. The information coming your way now is of a
different order altogether, deeply spiritual, and connects you
rather to your own inner process which might be little known to
you in the ordinary run of events. This comes at a most
opportune time since you have had the world a little too much
with you lately. As an antidote to scurrying around in the ant
heap of the modern civilized world, you might try a little
candlelight and ritual. Mystical card images could also help to
sort things out. The
New Moon in the second week of the month, taking place on
Wednesday, September 8th, brings fresh energy to the picture but
it is energy more appropriate to this realm of non-events and
symbols. Additionally, since
Mercury occupies this same sector of your chart and remains
in its
retrograde shadow for another several weeks, you are more
tuned to your inner world of reflection and introspection for
this period of time than to outer levels. In the meantime you
definitely have at least one foot in the outer world, with
finances very much on your mind. It is important however to
recognize that all that glitters for you now is not the gold of
outer circumstance but that of deeper and harder won wisdom.
There will be revelations to absorb and integrate that stem from
both concrete successes and the shadow side of the recognition
of potential failures as well and of the darkness that resides
within you. The
First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, September 14th, might present
you with some glimpses of inherent difficulties in what you are
attempting right now, which is the integration of your private
and your public life, and of inner and outer concerns. Partners
too might come into the picture at this time, partially as a
reflection of your own internal powers that are perhaps largely
disowned. The Fall Equinox and
Full Moon arrives late Wednesday and early Thursday morning,
September 22nd and 23rd, and brings yet another phase of this
energy for transformation into prominence. This is a powerful
transition for you and brings significant others in your life
more directly into the picture of the balance and the
integration of all your forces that you seek.
This is a very special and
contemplative moment for you right now,
Scorpio. It is a strange and contradictory period of time,
one in which you are busily looking for new answers to old
questions regarding intimacy and inner direction. You are all
fired up with ideas, and yet also feel the need to be holding
back, mulling things over, reviewing your past and looking for
the key that makes sense out of it. Having sorted out prior
events you will be ready to move on with renewed vigor and a
fresh take on partnership with others, but not until nearly the
end of the year.
As the month begins, you are more aware than ever before of
voices that seem to emanate from deep within you and that have a
new tale to tell you regarding past events and future plans. You
are seeking a balance right now between inner and outer, and
between past glory and present accomplishment. As you find a way
to restructure your internal dialogue regarding how and why you
have arrived at the psychic space that you currently occupy, the
lessons are there in plenty for you to harvest so long as you
remain true to your most fundamental instincts. Only then will
you be able to fully embrace the prospective world that is
waiting for you; a world that includes a revised and more
sensitive pattern of relationship with others as a potential
outcome. The
New Moon that comes along on Wednesday, September 8th,
brings powerful medicine to your process of integrating the past
while mentally embracing a more vibrant future. You have tons of
energy for charging ahead, but you must be careful to actualize
only what you feel represents a continuation of the arc of
development that you have been sensing over these past few
months; it is not a good time for radical departures from an
existing script. With
Mercury retrograde in your sector of societal connection,
this is also a terrific time for journaling or for conversing
with close allies regarding your situation. You are also
attempting to discern exactly when you might be able to move
forward in a manner that remains in alignment with your emerging
sense of soul purpose.
Venus enters your sign this same day, and it reminds you
that others' viewpoint can become an important touchstone and
bolster for your own concept. A week later, on Tuesday,
September 14th, comes the
First Quarter Moon in your resources sector and the entrance
of your ruler
Mars into your sign. At this point you get another boost
toward discovering your own unique way forward. This could
represent a moment of tension as you grapple with inherent
contradictions with what you are attempting at this time, as you
reinvent yourself and your path forward. Then the
Full Moon of the following week, on Thursday, September
23rd, signals a rich period of contrasts and reassessment, as
you feel your way into a more resonant truth for yourself. You
have been slowly transforming in your style of communication
with others over the past weeks and months and are perhaps only
now becoming fully conscious of how far you have come. The past
is melding into a future vision for yourself and for significant
others in your life that has more credibility for what you are
actually intending with your whole heart and mind.
This is a mixed-up transition into
fall for you,
Sagittarius. You are pulling back from an emphasis on an
expanded sense of self that has been your joyful preoccupation
lately, in favor of inner exploration. Something is causing you
to remold your outer world approach into a softer and more
compassionate stance that allows you to go easier on others and
also yourself. In the midst of these considerations your
achievement orientation continues. You will come to find that
inner realities are fully as important for consideration as
outer ones, and perhaps even more influential in determining the
outcome that, in your heart of hearts, you seek.
As the month begins, you are reflecting on the changes that have
been coming down lately relating to self-image and your creative
output. In this
Mercury retrograde time, you are busy right now redesigning
your presence in the world and your impact on it. Of course much
of what goes on in your life right now is business as usual, but
lingering on the outskirts of your experience in this watchful
eye. The reflective mode has its advantages in that no real
action is required; you can take potshots from the wings on
everything that you are doing, whether perceived as right and
wrong. At some point however the moment for action must arrive.
Hopefully by that time you will be more prepared to re-enter the
fray with intelligent course-corrections in the mix of the
actions that you will be taking. The
New Moon of Wednesday, September 8th, gives you fresh energy
for your ventures in the world of both an external and an
internal nature. You are achievement oriented at this time, but
in a different way and with a different outcome than before as
you yield to a more inclusive vision of yourself and your
possibilities. You are very much present in the world these
days, although not perhaps with the verve that you displayed
during the height of summer when all your surroundings seemed to
be your own special oyster. But there are inner realities to
contend with as you progress into fall that must be taken into
account. These have a way of making their presence known should
you try to ignore them. The
First Quarter Moon in your sign of late Tuesday, September
14th, will bring up inherent glitches in the road to progress.
This is a time when the impulse of the
New Moon becomes tested in its collision with actual
circumstances. There could be a modicum of tension in your
process now as you seek to resolve potential conflicts between
public and private, business and personal. These trials serve
the purpose of testing you so that you can more fully experience
your own true intention. Remaining philosophical has its
advantages, as always. With the
Full Moon of Thursday, September 23rd, there are positives
to be discerned in terms of greater clarity, but there could
also be further and more general challenges to contend with. You
are changing, slowly, at the very core of your being, and it
ultimately affects everything about you. It shows most clearly
in new approaches that you are taking or feeling inclined to
take, in life direction and values, or how you make use of the
resources at your disposal to effect your outcomes. This is a
slowly transforming landscape for you and one that it will take
many visits to fully traverse, and perhaps many years before you
will understand its full impact.
Your accomplishments are
well-recognized these days
Capricorn, as the impulse for transformation in your life
continues. In this time of harvest you are reaping the rewards
of the seeds that you have been sowing all year long. You have
spent much time and energy in recent months dwelling on your
changing worldview, an internal debate inside your head that
still continues into the present moment. Now a season of
reflection is upon you, whereby your goals and values, and as
well that very worldview as a basis for all that you accomplish
are up for revision and redefinition. You profit mightily when
you can take this time period for what it is and choose not to
push the river for a change.
As the month begins, you are mulling things over. You have been
reflecting lately on how you see the world around you and your
beliefs in general. The changing vision of your weltanschauung
is conditioning a change in your way of being in the world and
in relating yourself to it. There is still plenty of real-world
activity going on, but with a twist. Everything that you do and
say remains much the same, but the intention behind your actions
is different, and so is the outcome that you ultimately expect.
All the same, you are going great guns as far as progress and
career. It's your basic self-concept that is in major
transformation although one ultimately does affect the other.
With the
New Moon of Wednesday, September 8th, fresh energy is
inserted into your mental gymnastics. There are definitely
positive influences asserting themselves with regard to your
productivity in the public sphere at this time. You are more
inspired at work these days and more inclined to bring your
underlying emotional basis into play. You also might be ready to
make a major move toward greater networking, thereby keeping
entirely up with the tenor of the times. Like a trapeze artist
you are flying high along your normal circuit while bending your
metaphysical body in an entirely new direction. Since the ninth
sector of higher mind also represents new perspectives and
foreign travel, you might find yourself suddenly planning a
trip; if so it would be wise to wait at least two weeks and
maybe three before finalizing your arrangements, since
Mercury is also still in
retrograde and plans made now might need to be made again
after it turns direct and recovers its lost zodiacal ground. The
First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, September 14th, could be a
time of relative tension as you find a trace of revolutionary
ardor from your depths that interferes with the smooth working
out of your schemes and dreams from the impulse of the
New Moon a week earlier. This is traditionally a time when
what was then conceived becomes tested in the trials of actual
experience. The
Full Moon a week later, taking place on Thursday, September
23rd, is sure to present you with an even greater challenge as
you struggle to integrate your continued presence in the
professional world and your business-like calm with the far more
radical transformation taking place beneath the surface of your
personality. You have come to accept that your world is changing
as this information continues to arrive in small digestible
steps but now you might be forced to admit as you look back over
this past summer that the metamorphosis is more dramatic and
more final than you had originally realized. Don't be alarmed,
as the song says, its only castles burning, and in the ashes you
will definitely find solace and the urge to rebuild. The new
structure will be closer to what you – the original architect –
had in mind when you designed it long ago.
You are breaking
down in order to break through,
Aquarius. Still in the midst of a powerful time of change,
this first month of the fall gives you both the impulse for
further transformation and also a list of mental reservations
that cause second and third thoughts to arise. You are placing
your heart and your head on the line, finding where you need to
continue to make adjustments. It's best to reflect and to ponder
your situation right now, choosing not to forge ahead for the
moment. As you rethink and revision your position one thing
becomes clear; you're going nowhere without a fundamental
reliance on Spirit to guide you through.
As the month begins, you are rethinking concepts of intimacy,
both with significant others and also within your own heart. You
are very deeply tuned to inner levels of your psyche now and
seeking a new way forward in this crucial area of your life.
There are unconscious aspects of your connection to others that
have the chance to become more conscious at this time, and if
this is the case, it is definitely to your advantage since self
knowledge leads to self acceptance. Your ruler
Uranus remains
opposed to
Saturn and you are also facing a struggle over just how to
integrate any new information coming your way at this time.
There could be a tendency to reject anything that seems too "far
out" or off the beaten track of your long-accepted ideas about
yourself and your world. Healthy skepticism is of course a good
thing, but every good thing can be overdone at times. When the
New Moon of Wednesday, September 8th, comes along, there
will be fresh fuel for the fire of your internal investigations.
Your communication with others around you continues to be
inspired and inspiring, and is redolent of the deeper concerns
of your being. You are finding your way home through the darkest
levels of your inner workings, as though it were a necessary
ritual passage for you. This is of necessity a confusing period,
but one that may in the end yield rich rewards if you stay the
course. This is also a time when long-buried trauma could come
up for acknowledgement and acceptance. The mission of your inner
self would seem to be to investigate these matters that take you
to your very core, and to come to better terms with all your
varied parts, both light and dark, in a more integrated and
therefore joyful approach. The
First Quarter Moon a week later, taking place on Tuesday
night, September 14th, marks a time when the arc of development
that you have embarked upon becomes questionable and fraught
with doubts and perhaps artificial concerns. You are attempting
a monumental restructuring of your worldview, over time, and it
takes patience and persistence and bringing all your forces to
bear. The good news is that in the meantime, life goes on very
much like it normally does, while these unseen forces are doing
their work alongside it. By the time of the
Full Moon of Thursday, September 23rd, some things will
doubtless become clearer. Your practical side will come to your
aid and this is a big help, especially if there can be a degree
of integration of the dark unknown into waking consciousness. It
might actually become more obvious at this time that there are
vast changes in the works for you. It is helpful to recognize
that these will ultimately lead you into another phase of your
existence.
It's a long road that
has no turning,
Pisces. As you look for a fresh start in both life
and love, the question comes up whether you can take
seriously the messages of your own inner voice, beyond
all others. You are still dwelling at least half the
time in a dream world of your own devising, but you are
nevertheless more serious than ever about your ongoing
transformation, and moving forward with relationship
initiatives that have been in the cards for you all
along. In the push-pull of self and other, you are
seeking a third way that represents a fruitful
amalgamation of all your possibilities.
As the month begins, you are rethinking and
reprioritizing relationships in your life, both personal
and business ones. It can well be said that relationship
with others provides much of the juice of life, as well
as providing an indispensable complementary point of
view; however there are also traps implicit in this
arrangement whereby we can lose sight of our own way of
looking at things or compromise our own best take on a
given situation. These considerations and other like it
might be a large part of what moves you now, as you
reflect and attempt to come to terms with the concept of
partnership. You are very much involved with the world
right now, partly because of this push and pull of ideas
of self and other in your life. At the same time you are
also paradoxically drawn, as you have been for some time
now to an essentially spiritual point of view that takes
your own inner workings and nothing else as its starting
point. The
New Moon of Wednesday, September 8th, provides fresh
impetus for your journey of exploration in the area of
connection with others. This could be a time when you
are ready to make a philosophic break with past patterns
and how you have handled the contrast between the
demands of partnership and what you want in terms of
yourself alone. You are getting smarter about these
things is some ways, and the evidence is beginning to
mount that a new way of relating might prove to
represent interesting advantages all around. It could
also be that the residue of ancient trauma has caused
reactions and avoidances that are in fact no longer
appropriate to your present sense of self, and that
could be recognized for what they are and gracefully
abandoned. In any case, the time may have come for a
change of style. The
First Quarter Moon of Tuesday evening, September
14th, will throw up a few roadblocks on the path to
progress that will serve to either solidify this
movement as you succeed in overcoming them or else to
threaten to derail it. This is a time when you are ready
to take a stand for yourself, and damn the consequences,
but of course, as always, it is not quite that simple.
In working out what you need to do you will at least
have the courage of your convictions, becoming a
spiritual warrior for your cause. You are making a huge
shift over these last few months in both worldview and
life direction, and this is one element within the chain
of circumstances and responses. With the
Full Moon of Thursday, September 23rd, you have come
to a greater realization of where your struggles might
be leading you and a more inspired acceptance of the
necessity of change operating in your life.
