Welcome to September 2010 |
FRI SEP 10 It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to protecting your valuables and investments during the monthly Moon-Vesta union in Libra (3:07AM PDT). However, too much stress and worry can exhaust your physical vitality and offset your emotional balance during this lunar transit in the seventh sign of the zodiac. Utilize a Pallas-Saturn 45-degree connection (9:21AM PDT) to cut through obstacles in your path and solve professional problems. Take a siesta from hassles around the time of a Moon-Neptune parallel (12:56PM PDT). Visualize yourself beginning a new hobby with enthusiasm and creating a more fulfilling rapport with a dear one. Less than three hours later, Venus moves into an inspirational, 72-degree link with Juno (3:19PM PDT). Open the gates of creative attunement on the social, fashion and style fronts. Come from the heart in vital sharings. Mars follows up its flowing trine with Neptune from yesterday with another triangular harmony pattern to bridge-building Chiron (9:18PM PDT). The fields of holistic healing and alternative medicine are ripe for investigation. However, rash moves and egocentric attitudes send you to the back of the class during the monthly Moon-Mars rendezvous (10:17PM PDT). Another reason to keep a lid on headstrong behavior is that this time also starts a void lunar cycle that lasts until 2:22AM PDT on Saturday morning when the Moon enters intense Scorpio. Do your best to avoid key decision-making overnight under these extra-martial conditions.
SAT SEP 11 Do you feel a build-up of pressures – physically, emotionally and mentally – and don’t know why? Astrology has the answer. The planets closest and most distant to the Sun are virtually motionless over the next 3+ days. Tomorrow, Mercury ceases its three-week retrograde cycle, stops from the Earth’s vantage point, and begins turning forward in early Virgo. On Monday evening, Pluto – in reverse gear since April 6 – also stops its backtracking in the zodiac and turns forward in early Capricorn. When any two celestial bodies almost simultaneously appear to press the pause button on their cosmic movement, earthlings begin feeling uncomfortable. When the two solar systemic bodies are conscious-mind ruling Mercury and collective unconscious-mind ruling Pluto, then you really need to stop, look and listen more intently than usual. Add to this the fact that the Moon enters the intense waters of secretive, mysterious Scorpio (2:22AM PDT) and that the calendar is flashing the date of 9/11, and you know that overall worries and subliminal anxiety are on the upswing. Counteracting those shadowy tendencies are a Moon-Venus parallel (4:15AM PDT) and Moon-Venus union in Scorpio (5:55AM PDT). Venus should be the goddess toward whom you make your appeals and from whom you anticipate the flow of illuminating guidance. A Moon-Mercury supportive, 60-degree rapport (11:29AM PDT) is good news for teachers, researchers, authors, journalists and linguists. Passions are moving in the right direction for lovers overnight as Venus nears a sensitive, 60-degree liaison with Pluto (forming exactly at 3:44AM PDT tomorrow).
SUN SEP 12 Keep in mind something this calendar suggests every so often – that solar and planetary alignments don’t necessarily disappear in one day. Therefore, yesterday’s intensity can still underlie today’s alignments and an approaching celestial event – for example, Monday night’s Pluto shift – can have magnetic resonance in everyone’s lives before it becomes precise. Prior to Mercury completely halting its retrograde motion at 6 degrees of Virgo (4:12PM PDT) and beginning its forward motion until December 10, 2010, three favorable aspects offer blessings while one challenging sky pattern equates with a small rise in frustrating vibes. The three favorable celestial seasonings are a Venus-Pluto 60-degree rapport (3:44AM PDT), the Moon and Sun forming the same kind of link (12:07PM PDT) followed by the monthly Moon-Pallas union in Scorpio (2:01PM PDT and great for problem-solving, research and strategy sessions). The Venus-Pluto and Sun-Moon contacts are a boon for lovers, friends and any coupling of individuals striving to make a positive difference in society. However, Juno making a 45-degree tie to Saturn (6:55AM PDT) and Mercury motionless all-day constitute a dual, antagonistic contingent trying to knock you off-course from carefully arranged plans and goals. Realize that Mercury motionless emphasizes all themes associated with this key planet – communications, thinking, language, classes, learning programs, primary education, intellectual prowess, transportation, business, trade, health, diet, theft, lying and split-personality behavior. Be prepared for a potentially stormy Monday (on psychic levels) as the red planet runs riot and Pluto takes center stage.
MON SEP 13 A feeling of déjà vu may be occurring for many readers who remember the cosmos wreaking havoc during late July and much of August. Today’s potential for upheavals has realistic connections to cosmic disturbances coming up from September 17 through October 8. Now it is true that several days between September 17 and October 8 will be reasonably upbeat and devoid of major planetary conflagrations. However, we could even see the precipitation – into the material/physical realm – during the remainder of this month of what was served up as a kind of lengthy appetizer in July/August. Today’s severity and volatility come from Mars making an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to shock-producer Uranus (1:31AM PDT) and another off-kilter, 150-degree tie to giant Jupiter (5:20PM PDT) as well as Pluto shifting from retrograde to direct at 3 degrees of Capricorn (9:37PM PDT). Anytime Mars makes one 150-degree alignment, you need to sit up and take notice as well as surround yourself with an aura of serenity. When Mars contacts surprise-bringer Uranus and expansion-provider Jupiter, the stakes are much higher. Add on Pluto – ruling extremes, death-rebirth experiences, regeneration, catharsis, transformation and metamorphosis, the underworld, atomic-nuclear energy, mysteries and secrets, repressed feelings, phobias, hypnotic suggestions, the collective unconscious, laser-like concentration, and spiritual willpower – and the day becomes a humdinger and difficult to control from a personality standpoint. Fortunately, the Moon enters fiery and enthusiastic Sagittarius (5:53AM PDT) following a void lunar cycle starting at 4:54AM PDT. The Moon’s presence in the adventurous, knowledge-seeking ninth sign of the zodiac won’t neutralize the two martial aspects and Pluto station, but Sagittarius Moon can help to restore recently lost optimism and keep you focused on important goals.
