Visible Planets
Sun (8 Virgo to 7 Libra) there is a partial eclipse of the Sun on September 11. The September Equinox (one of the four main solar gates) is on September 23.
Mercury (23 Virgo to 3 Scorpio) reaches greatest elongation from the Sun in its evening star appearance on September 29 (26 degrees from the Sun) and is most easily visible in mid-southern latitudes though not easily seen in mid-northern latitudes. On September 22 (in the Equinox window), Mercury is only one-tenth of a degree from Spica in the Evening Sky and this is the closest planet-star alignment this year. Due to its Retrograde, Mercury will return to Spica on October 28 within 2.8 degrees, and that will be visible in the Morning Sky.
Venus (17 Leo 37 to 24 Leo 25) Venus went Retrograde on July 28 at 3 Virgo and is going Direct on September 8 at 16 Leo 35. Venus rose as Morning Star (heliacal rise before the Sun) around August 25, beginning a new cycle of Venus that will last 584 days. Venus is rising about 90 minutes before the Sun at the beginning of September, and about 3-½ hours before the Sun by month’s end. Venus reaches its maximum brightness of this year in late September. Venus starts this month 15 degrees from Regulus and ends the month 7 degrees away…passing by Regulus for the third time on October 7. Venus and Saturn revisit each other in October, both within about 4 degrees of Regulus.
Mars (15 Gemini 26 to 0 Cancer 41) is rising late in the evening and passes between the horns of the Bull mid month, crossing the center of the Sacred Hoop and the June Solstice marker, and then moves on to the feet of the Twins (Castor and Pollux). Mars squares the Sun on September 17, meaning Mars is overhead after Sunset.
Jupiter (10 Sagittarius 55 to 14 Sagittarius 09) Stationed Direct on August 6, in alignment with Antares, the Heart of the Scorpion, and is now low in the evening sky, setting about three hours after Sunset. Jupiter squares the Sun on September 4, meaning Jupiter is overhead just before Sunrise.
Saturn (29 Leo 52 to 3 Virgo 23) begins the month less than one degree from Regulus, the Heart of the Lion, and climbs higher into the morning sky, rising about 50 minutes before the Sun as September begins, and three hours before the Sun as the month ends.
Moon (goes through all the signs in a month starting September in Taurus and ending it in Gemini) occults the Pleiades on September 3 and passes by Venus, Saturn, and Regulus on September 7, 8, and 9. The Harvest Full Moon in Libra is on September 26.
Invisible Planets
Uranus (17 Pisces 05 to 15 Pisces 54) Retrograded June 23 at 18 Pisces 41, reaches opposition to the Sun on September 9, and Stations Direct on November 24 at 14 Pisces 46.
Neptune (20 Aquarius 10 to 19 Aquarius 31) Neptune retrograded May 24, and Stations Direct on October 31 at 19 Aquarius 15. Retrograde Neptune reached opposition to the Sun on August 23.
Pluto (26 Sagittarius 19 to 26 Sagittarius 26) Retrograded on March 31 at 28 Sagittarius 58, and Stations Direct on September 7 at 26 Sagittarius 18.
Chiron (11Aquarius 37 to 10 Aquarius 40) Retrograded on May 21 at 15 Aquarius 41, and Stations Direct on October 20 at 10 Aquarius 28.

Daily Timings
Sep 1, Saturday. Moon moved into Taurus late last night or early this morning depending on your time zone, reminding us of the importance of taking time to savor, enjoy and appreciate the beauty and abundance in our world. This is one of the first steps in raising our personal energy or vibration for the purpose of experiencing greater synchronicity and support in living our divine destiny. One of the greatest tools for accomplishing this is to spend time each day giving gratitude for the gift of life and beauty that surrounds us each moment. Melodie Beattie gives us this inspired look at the power of gratitude to transform our lives.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~
Sep 2, Sunday. Transformational messenger Mercury (26 Virgo) squares shamanic transformer Pluto (26 Sagittarius) deepening and intensifying our mental experience as it relates to the overall pattern of life. Pluto is about to Station Direct approaching its deepest dive into the fears that limit our fullest, most empowered expression of who we are – for the purpose of purifying and transforming them. Pluto also dives deep to discover the strengths and abilities that are still unconscious. Pluto does this by bringing our fears to consciousness often through experiences that challenge and stretch us beyond our usual comfort zones. Pluto’s intent is to strengthen and empower by purging the disempowering fears that lies beneath surface.
By asking questions we can helps bring this process to greater conscious awareness. What are the powerful transformative messages showing up in your experience? Are you feeling strengthened and empowered? Are you feeling disempowered by events beyond your control? If you are feeling disempowered, what do you need to surrender and let go of so these changes can occur with greater ease? Resistance tends to increase the drama of change, whereas, surrender lessens it.
Saturn Moves into Virgo for just over two years, not leaving this sign until October 29, 2009, making an archetypal shift in the mysteries that govern structure and form. When healthy, the Virgo archetype is primarily concerned with honoring the Earth and life as sacred. Virgo is also attuned to the pattern of life and has the ability to discriminate and notice when something is out of pattern. When the pattern is out of balance healthy Virgo knows what to do to restore the pattern and bring it back into balance.
What is the intended new form Saturn is bringing to Virgo over the next two years? In part, this is about restructuring the collective pattern to bring humanity into greater alignment with the Earth, and what the Earth needs to heal. Saturn going through Virgo is a time when the “sacred ceremonial operating manual” for the Earth goes through a revisioning process, updating it to meet the needs of the current time. Also, Virgo operates through relentless discrimination going deeply into the unfolding pattern for the purpose of sorting out what is authentically real and what is not.
Shifting from Saturn in Leo to Saturn in Virgo moves the focus from integrating the value of self-love and our divine expression into further developing dedicated, selfless service to Spirit. The importance of having a sense of self that we love is necessary before we can go beyond the self as stated in Osho’s, The Book of Secrets.
Be selfish, I say, because that is the only way you will become selfless, that is the only way you can become a help and a blessing to the world.
So if we have done our Saturn in Leo work over the last two years, then we now have a healthy foundation for loving ourselves, and we are ready to step into learning more about healthy, dedicated service to Spirit and our sacred life purpose.
Sep 3, Monday. Labor Day. Mars (16 Gemini) squares Retrograde Uranus (16 Pisces) suggesting this is a time to be extra aware of possibly intense and radical energies. Accidents or other sorts of disruptive events can occur when a wakeup call is needed, so it is important to be attentive for at least three days before and after today.
The Last Quarter Moon (11 Gemini) is visible just past Aldebaran tonight and is approaching Mars (17 Gemini). Aldebaran marks the Eye of the Bull and is one of the four Royal Stars of ancient times. Aldebaran was also seen by the ancients as a portal or key to the Silver Gate where souls enter this dimension. This is due to the location of Aldebaran near where the Milky Way crosses the ecliptic at the Galactic Edge. (See Jan 1, 2007 Archives.)
The Sun (11 Virgo) square Jupiter (11 Sagittarius) is signaling the acceleration of Jupiter’s forward movement since it Stationed Direct in early August near the fixed star Antares (10 Sagittarius). (See Aug CT Archives.) When Jupiter is aspected by the Sun it can be more inspiring and expansive than usual. The challenge is to be alert to a tendency towards overexpansion, overdoing, overconfidence, overload and even over-optimism that may be overly idealistic or ungrounded. It is just as much of a problem to have too much of something as not enough. This is a time to seek balance by noticing where you feel inspired and then taking wise, practical steps that ground your inspiration in beneficial and supportive ways.
Sep 4, Tuesday. The Gemini Lunar Standstill Moon conjuncts Mars (17 Gemini) at the Galactic Edge as the Moon passes through late degrees of Gemini and early degrees of Cancer. For all of 2006 and 2007, during the time when the Moon is in late degrees Gemini and early Cancer, we are receiving a transmission of inter-galactic vibrational frequencies coming from beyond our galaxy. These vibrational frequencies are facilitating physical shifts in our personal realities. These shifts are easier to assimilate when we pay attention to how we are choosing to express our own vibrational signature through what we think, feel, say, and do. Maximizing the potency of this timing is greatly facilitated when we are choosing activities that support self-forgiveness, self-care, and self-love, as well as genuine gratitude for the gifts we already have.
Sep 5, Wednesday. The Lunar Standstill Moon is moving into Cancer at the Center of the Sacred Hoop and aligned along the Galactic Edge. (See September 4.) Mercury is crossing the North Galactic Pole as it moves into Libra where it remains until September 27. Then, Mercury returns to Libra on October 24 during its Retrograde until November 11. Mercury in Libra suggests the focus now is developing a more conscious relationship with our minds, as the connecting link between the visible and the invisible realms. However, we can also be trapped by the mind, and these mysteries remind us that the mind cannot possibly know it all. Indeed, the path to true liberation occurs when we go beyond the mind’s addiction to thinking and the seeming reality of this dimension. This is not something we can contrive, but is more easily accessed from a state of grace; taking us beyond the limitations of the mind, where our true divine nature is experienced, not as an idealistic concept, but as an embodied physical reality.
Mercury in Libra also has to do with how we communicate in relationship with ourselves and with others. Layne and Paul Cutright speak to the importance of knowing the intent of our communication when we speak our truth in their book, Straight From the Heart.
When you decide to tell the truth about your thoughts and feelings, the first step is to know the intention of your communication. This is important because your intention determines your results. If your intention is to create healing, intimacy, more harmony, or more clarity, that is what will happen.
If you have ever been the target of someone who has decided to “speak their truth” without an intention to create healing you may know how painful and divisive that can be. Taking a moment to breathe into your heart-knowing and making sure what you have to say is coming from a clear heart-felt intent helps to ensure greater success in being truly heard.
Sep 6, Thursday. The asteroid Pallas Athena (9 Pisces) now in Retrograde is about to conjunct the North Node (7 Pisces) exact on September 15. This is an additional clue, further drawing our attention to this years activations on the Nodal Axis. These activations include the North Node-Uranus conjunction that took place last March; and now we have Venus and Saturn approaching the South Node exact on October 23. On November 1, Pallas Athena Stations Direct at 1 Pisces and on November 24, reconvenes with the North Node at 3 Pisces. Pallas Athena can only cross the North Node about every three years. So this won’t happen again until December 26, 2010, when Pallas Athena and the North Node are at 3 Capricorn. Interestingly at that time they are also both within two degrees of Pluto who will then be at 5 Capricorn.
Pallas Athena is an Amazon (independent) warrior goddess also known for her wisdom. Athena’s mother was Metis, a Goddess whose name means Wise Counsel. In one version of the story, the pregnant Metis was swallowed by Zeus in his attempt to circumvent a prophecy he feared that predicted one of his children would kill him. Then the story goes that Zeus himself gave birth to Athena out of the top of his head. This is a symbolical birthing of the feminine into the mental realms via the masculine principle. It could also be seen as an attempt to integrate the left and right brain processes. This has not been easy, although in recent times notable progress has been occurring for those who are willing to balance the left brain function (logic and reason) with the right brain function (intuition and creativity).
One possible intent for the North Node conjunction with Pallas Athena in Pisces is that she is providing wise council in creatively, and compassionately solving the planetary issues we are currently facing by helping to integrate both the left and right brain mental process. This included intuitively following our inner guidance for knowing how best to be with these transformational times, while also using logic and reason to ground our intuitive insights into a practical reality.
Sep 7, Friday. The Moon moves into Leo, and Pluto Stations Direct (26 Sagittarius 18). This is good news for anyone with planets or angles between 26 and 27 degrees of mutable signs (Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius). The Pluto Station is the biggest collective energy today, taking us deeper into any shadow places where we are not being honest with ourselves. Carl Jung said Enlightenment consists of NOT merely seeing luminous shapes and visions, but in making the darkness visible. The latter procedure is more difficult, and therefore, unpopular.
This understanding is an interesting blend of Pluto, as it travels through Sagittarius, because Sagittarius is an energy that prefers to seek the light, often ignoring or denying there is a shadow. Pluto, however, relentlessly excavates the shadow, especially as it relates to our authentic selves; acting as an antidote for denial. Pluto strips away any beliefs and ways of being that support what we deny within ourselves, usually through circumstances beyond our control. Willingness to embrace the uncomfortable, dark places within ourselves is the magical key to transforming them into our strength.
This was beautifully demonstrated in the final book of the Harry Potter series, when Harry courageously faces the Dark Lord, fully willing to die to his own dark self. Not only is Harry willing to die but he is expecting to die. This willingness changes everything, as it is a demonstration of complete surrender, releasing all attachments even to life. What happens is beyond his imaging, and ultimately, Harry finds he is reborn into a whole new way of being. This is the promise of Pluto when we embrace its ability to transform the darkest darkness within us.
Note the waning Crescent Moon is moving to conjunct Venus tomorrow, marking the First Gate where Venus must pass through on her way to the Underworld. The Moon and Venus will be visible in the predawn sky.
Sep 8, Saturday. Venus Stations Direct (16 Leo 35) and the Moon conjuncts Venus later this same day. The waning crescent Moon will be approaching Venus visible near the eastern horizon in the early morning sky. This symbolizes Venus passing through the First Gate into the Underworld where she gives up her crown, releasing any distortions the Leo expression of the feminine principle has to Spirit. Initially, this can feel like a total loss of connection with the divine. Over the next few months, Venus is going through a shamanic deconstruction of any ways that do not fully support her ability to truly love who she is in a healthy way.
Sep 9, Sunday. The Sun opposes Retrograde Uranus (17 Pisces) marking the center point of the current Uranus Retrograde cycle, symbolizing a threshold crossing toward radically unique, extremely novel and original cutting-edge experiences. For at least a week before and after this exact timing, there can be sudden and unexpected events occurring that are intended to shift any limiting sense of self. Remember, disruptions are excellent opportunities to break out of old restrictive patterns, creating opportunities to break through to greater freedom of being. When we are holding on and fearful we can get stuck in the breakdown, resisting the changes now possible; and thereby, missing the breakthrough opportunity. Rolling with the flow, and releasing attachments to outcome, are helpful ways to ride the Uranian waves of change.
The Moon moves into Virgo and occults Saturn for the 11th time this year. October 7 is the last Moon occultation over Saturn this year. Occultations are like eclipses and accelerate whatever is in motion. As the Moon covers and uncovers Saturn it is revealing the hidden mysteries of discernment as a way of understanding the importance of our connection to the sacred patterning of life including the natural cycles and rhythms of Earth and Sky.
Nearly every ancient culture had some way of tracking cosmological events including the medieval churches that were built on ancient ley lines that had specific alignments for Solstices and Equinoxes. Many of these sites were even aligned with the 19-year Lunar Standstill. The knowledge and precision in measuring the Lunar Standstill that ancient cultures clearly knew about has surprised many experts.
Further more, Chapters 72 to 82, in The Book of Enoch, are dedicated to the teachings Enoch received from Archangel Uriel regarding celestial cycles and understanding their importance in our lives. This book dates way back to pre-Christian times and may even be connected to the Megalithic Builders. The ancient megalithic sites are constructed with precise astronomical alignments leaving us with specific clues about the importance our ancestors placed on tracking the celestial cycles.
Sep 10, Monday. Today opens the New Moon Solar Eclipse Window transmitting the mysteries of the sacred quality of life. All life expresses through uniquely encoded patterns that are also integrated into the overall pattern. There are numerous patterns, including the pattern of the seasons, the phases of the Moon, of birth, of growth, of death, and the individual pattern we each carry. It helps to honor your own special pattern and to know how it is linked with the larger pattern. Simply acknowledging your place in the web of life with genuine heart-felt gratitude is an extraordinarily magical act as it infuses the existing pattern with a mystical, transformative vibration of love and gratitude traveling throughout the web and uplifting every aspect within the pattern. Morgan Llwellyn’s book The Greener Shore gives describes the essence of the pattern.
The Source of All Being does not work at random, though to our eyes it may appear so. Always remember: There are no coincidences, just unexpected glimpses of a hidden pattern…all elements of the Pattern are linked. Stars and Stones, humans and animals… (seen and unseen).
Sep 11, Tuesday. Today is the New Moon South Node Solar Eclipse (18 Virgo 25) with Uranus (16 Pisces38) in opposition near the degree it conjuncted the North Node in Pisces last March. A Solar Eclipse opens a portal that allows us to peek into the inner workings of the source (where the blinding light of the Sun is covered). The Sun, represents the fuel or life-sustaining force of our world, and in an eclipse, is going through a shamanic death, being reborn a few hours later. This is an event out of the rhythm and flow of ordinary time, creating an opportunity for us all to participate in a planetary conscious death and rebirth process.
This eclipse is especially potent for those who have planets or angels between 13 and 23 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius. Today’s eclipse is a Partial Solar Eclipse, meaning that only part of the Sun will experience the shadow of the Moon. The shadow of the Moon upon the Sun reveals the shadow aspects closest to the surface of our awareness at this time. However, for those who know how to work with this Timing, it is an opportunity to reveal and transform whatever we are ready to engage with our intention.
A South Node Solar Eclipse is about completing with past patterns, beliefs, and ways of being, or lifestyle choices that no longer serve the fulfillment of our divine destiny. It is also a time for accessing the wealth of experiences and wisdom we already have that can assist us in moving toward our destiny in healthy ways. The process is much easier when we are willing to surrender and trust what is unfolding.
Uranus has Retrograded back to 16 Pisces where the North Node conjunction took place in March. The assemblage point shift activated last March is toward a new destiny for humanity, and is receiving new inspiration and energy by integrating what has been useful and supportive, in ways that further what is now unfolding. This magical alignment opens another doorway to new, unexplored territory where it helps to have a beginner’s mind and be receptive to innovative ways of being that support our true divine expression.
Sep 12, Wednesday. The waxing Crescent Moon moves into Libra illuminating the mysteries of conscious equal partnership. Libra asks, "Are you conscious of your interrelatedness to every aspect of creation? Are you engaging a conscious intimate relationship with yourself? Are you willingly growing in awareness of how you exist in relationship to the rest of life? Are you engaging your experiences as opportunities to learn more about yourself?”
Relationships are great mirrors that teach us more about who we are. Layne and Paul Cutright authors of You're Never Upset for the Reason You Think agree, saying,
…your relationships are actually mirrors of your consciousness. When you learn to see your own reflection in the quality of your relationships with others, you catapult yourself on your path of personal growth.
Sep 13, Thursday. Mercury (11 Libra) sextiles Jupiter (11 Sagittarius) who is still near Antares, while the Moon conjuncts Mercury (11 Libra) about 2.2 degrees to the S.S.W. (South South West) in the evening sky. These aspects speak to the importance of clear, expansive, and inspired communication that comes from the heart. Heart-directed communication occurs when we take time to feel our heart energy. This includes all forms of communication, be it speaking, writing, music, performing, etcetera. Taking a moment to breathe into your heart before you begin any communication process will help to guide your communication from a heart-directed source.
Sep 14, Friday. The Moon is closest to the Earth (a.k.a. perigee) in its current cycle and conjuncts Spica only 1.8 degrees to the south in the early morning hours today. Spica is the blue star marking the hand of the Virgin Priestess. One of the many expressions of this constellation is The Goddess of Justice, also known as Astrea. Spica marks Astrea’s hand where she is holding the constellation of the Scales for the purpose of dispensing divine justice or creating balance between sewing and reaping the results of our actions.
Spica is one of four stars that lies closest to the ecliptic and is therefore eclipsed or occulted in a cyclical pattern by the Moon. The Moon is currently passing to the south of Spica, although some resources say the last Spica occultation took place on January 11, 2007, and February 8, 2007. Based on the path of the Moon in its 19-year cycle, the next series of monthly Spica occultations will begin on July 25, 2012, and end on December 27, 2013. The Moon near Spica in the evening sky tonight helps you locate this star for future reference. http://www.space.com/spacewatch/events_2007.html
http://www.earthsky.org/radioshows/51514/star-near-moon-on-august-17-is-spica
Sep 15, Saturday. The Moon moved into Scorpio either late afternoon or evening yesterday transmitting the mysteries of passionate aliveness through the willingness to live on the edges and beyond. Many have felt stretched beyond previously known edges in recent months, facilitating dramatic inner and outer changes at a deep cellular level radically transforming our life experience. Also today, Pallas Athena exactly conjuncts the North Node providing further wise council in more fully living our destiny. (See September 6.)
Sep 16, Sunday. The Scorpio Moon moves to complete a T-square with the Venus Neptune opposition that will be exact September 21. Venus is the Goddess of Love. Neptune reminds us that we find all the answers about love and life within ourselves, as external circumstances can be deceptive and confusing. The Gnosis and the Law by Tellis Papastravro, describes the power of love.
Love is the cohesive power of the Universe and the most powerful activity in the Cosmos. It is the Power that holds together every electron in every atom that comprises form, and it is the one that has furnished for man the Electronic form of his Presence….Love created every blessing we enjoy and we owe to its beneficent power all that we are or ever expect to be.
Sep 17, Monday. The Moon moves into Sagittarius and will be visible near Antares (about 10 Sagittarius) activating the Antares stargate or the key to the Golden Gate of ascension at Galactic Center. If you have clear skies, noting where the Moon is tonight and tomorrow night provides a visual connection with these mysteries. (See January 2007 Archives and September 3.)
Sun (24 Virgo) squares Mars (24 Gemini) signaling the approaching Mars Retrograde starting in November. Mars is the rarest of all the Retrogrades, occurring only every 26 months. In this configuration, Mars is overhead at the time the Sun is rising in the morning sky. Mars is rising around 11 p.m. local time and is rising earlier each night until December 24, when Retrograde Mars will rise as the Sun sets. (Mars goes Retrograde on November 15.) This Sun Mars square signals a final integration phase of the current Mars cycle, and Mars is also preparing for a new cycle that begins on December 24. In this completion time of the Mars quest through Taurus, it may be helpful to observe is if we are now more consciously enjoying and savoring the each moment, as this is the doorway for re-entering the Garden of Eden.
Mercury (18 Libra) is sextile Venus (18 Leo). (See September 18)
Sep 18, Tuesday. The Lunar Standstill Moon is only .71 degrees S.S.W. of Antares and conjuncts Jupiter (13 Sagittarius) visible 5.6 degrees south of Jupiter. Tonight is an excellent time to observe the Moon with Jupiter still near Antares if you have clear skies. More and more, many are realizing that simply being aware of these Timings and the possibilities they represent inspires events of magical synchronicity and understanding beyond what we have previously known. Jupiter is now moving away from Antares and is within one degree of the Great Attractor, suggesting that the renewal of magical possibilities is still being greatly magnified. Jupiter is in a one degree range of the Great Attractor until October 12 and has its exact encounter from Sept 29 to October 5. The Great Attractor is an area of the sky that scientists don’t really know exactly what it is but they do know this is a place that is drawing entire galaxies toward itself at more than one million miles an hour. (See June 2007 Archives.)
And with Mercury (20 Libra) still sextile Venus (19 Leo) and with Venus now exactly trining Neptune (19 Aquarius), the visions and dreams we have been focusing on are quickly being drawn into reality, when they are aligned with our inner and outer intent. What are the messages your inner being is communicating to you about what next steps to take for the purpose of more fully living your dreams? If you are not clear about what you are creating, then let it go even more and follow your inner guidance.
Sep 19, Wednesday. This Lunar Standstill First Quarter Moon at 26 Sagittarius 22 is square the Sun at 26 Virgo and the Sun is square Pluto at 26 Sagittarius, letting us know Pluto is starting to pick up speed after its Station Direct Standstill on September 7. The Sun-Pluto square sheds light on any lingering shadow places preventing us from fully and passionately living life. For those with planets or angles between 26 and 29 degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) this marks an especially important turning point in your personal Pluto initiation. If you have sufficiently surrendered and died to what was needed, then this is the time for being reborn into a truer, more empowered aspect of yourself. If however, you have been resisting the death process, things may become more intense in order to give you an opportunity to truly surrender. The First Quarter Moon is also a time for taking empowered action toward whatever you are committed to furthering in your life, as this is an accelerating energy moving whatever we are focusing on into manifest reality. Pluto reminds us not to be attached to results or what we think it should look like. This frees us up to experience the magical alchemy of empowerment that we might otherwise miss.
Sep 20, Thursday. The Lunar Standstill Moon moved into Capricorn last night and is completing another three-day Lunar Standstill window at Galactic Center today. During the Lunar Standstill days, there is an influx of Galactic Light Codes pouring into our solar system and onto the Earth, facilitating an unprecedented evolutionary quantum leap. We are being carried along in an inevitable evolutionary process that is happening in spite of any resistance we may have. The process is a lot easier and more fun when we are able to release expectations of how we think things should be or what results we should be experiencing.
Also, Mercury is approaching the blue star Spica (passing by this star two more times in the next few weeks due to its Retrograde), and Jupiter is still near the red star Antares, and Saturn is near Regulus. All three of these stars are Behenian Stars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behenian_fixed_star, and all three are lying closest to the ecliptic, and were thought to have their power and accessibility enhanced when planets were within six degrees of them. Mercury is within six degrees of Spica from September 16 to September 28 and October 23 to November 10. Jupiter remains within six degrees of Antares until October 5, Saturn remains within six degrees of Regulus until October 26, and Venus returns to being within six degree of Regulus from September 29 to October 15. (See September 22.)
Sep 21, Friday. Mars (26 Gemini) is opposite Pluto (26 Sagittarius) at Galactic Center, and Venus (19 Leo) is opposite Neptune (19 Aquarius), creating initiatory experiences for both the Sacred Masculine and the Sacred Feminine outside the realms of ordinary reality. The best action now for Mars is to surrender even more to the transformational process. Venus on the other hand is being asked to go within and connect to her inner guidance, accessing new visions and dreams that are aligned with her divine design.
Patience is required for both processes along with an ability to trust that everything is unfolding in divine timing. In his book, Through Time into Healing, Brian Weiss quotes one of his patients in a past life review. The message was,
“Patience and timing…everything comes when it must come. A life cannot be rushed, cannot be worked on a schedule, as so many people want it to be. We must accept what comes to us at a given time, and not ask for more. But life is endless, so we never die; we were never really born. We just pass through different phases. There is no end. Humans have many dimensions. But time is not as we see time, but rather in lessons that are learned.
Sep 22, Saturday. In this opening window of the September Equinox exact tomorrow Jupiter is greatly magnifying the energy coming from the Great Attractor until October 11. This is especially important for those who have planets, nodes or angles between 12 to 16 degrees of Sagittarius. (See June Archives) Also today the Moon is moving into Aquarius illuminating the mysteries of revolution for evolution. Revolutionary ideals that promote evolution and the ability to support our individual right to determine our own evolutionary path is experiencing another assemblage point shift. This is a reminder to go with the flow of change that assists even greater evolutionary expression.
And Mercury is .10 degrees from Spica in the closest conjunction of a planet with a first magnitude star this year. Mercury’s connection with Spica from September 16 to September 28 increases the power of this Equinox window. (See September 20.)
Sep 23, Sunday. Today marks the September Equinox when the Sun moves into Libra occurring at 2:52 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time. (Be sure to adjust for your time zone.) The Equinoxes are the seasonal time of balance and harmony when the days and nights are equal in length. During the Equinoxes, the Earth’s auric or magnetic field is affected by the Sun’s alignment with the Earth’s equator. Twice each year, at the Equinoxes, the Sun rises and sets exactly over the equator, tracking exactly due East and due West, no matter where you are on the Planet.
The Equinox Solar Effect produces a reduction in the magnetic field of the Earth, providing easier access to other dimensions, beginning around 24 hours before, and ending around 24 hours after the exact Equinox point. Doorways or thresholds into the mysteries are more easily accessed during Equinoxes, especially when we consciously engage this Timing. Equinoxes are a powerful time for doing ceremonial activations at sacred sites or anywhere you happen to be.
Sep 24, Monday. Mercury (26 Libra) sextiles Pluto (26 Sagittarius) and Moon moves in Pisces during this Equinox window, calling our attention to the messages we are receiving in dreamtime or in other out-of-the-ordinary-reality states such as meditation or trance. Mercury is diving deep for the truth of our innermost desires, and is bringing them into greater conscious knowing through our dreaming states. With Moon in Pisces, it is possible to have a deepening connection with the divine inside of us. This means we can more easily hear the messages coming from our soul when we are listening.
Sep 25, Tuesday. The Moon conjuncts Uranus (15 Pisces) indicating an excellent time for exploring and experiencing new territory as the old forms are breaking down. Uranus often brings change in sudden and unexpected ways, breaking down the old limiting beliefs associated with an old assemblage point, breaking through to new perspectives, insights, and understanding. This creates an entirely new, more expansive assemblage point.
Sep 26, Wednesday. The Aries Full Moon (3 Aries 20) today is energizing the fruition of our intentions through inspired action. What we think and say are important elements in creating our reality. The third key element of co-creation is what we do. Our actions produce results. If you are not experiencing the results you desire, then it is time to commit to healthy new actions. If you don’t know what action to take, then pick something that will inspire you or help you relax so new insights and possibilities can come through.
Also in this Full Moon window, Mercury (28 Libra) is trining Mars (28 Gemini) informing the masculine principle through social connection, as a reflection of our ability to be spontaneous, have fun, and to network in ways that encourage our creativity and need for playful interaction.
Sep 27, Thursday. Mercury moves into Scorpio and reaches 9 degrees of Scorpio when it Stations Retrograde on October 12. Mercury is the messenger and in Scorpio, the messages are revealed through passionate, powerful, transformative, experiences especially when we willingly walk the edges of the unknown. Edgewalking supports the powerful expression of who we are when we are not attached to what that looks like, and when we are willing to follow a path of passion designed to increase Life Force energy in healthy ways. With the Scorpio mysteries, it is important to remember it is NOT about power over others, but about living from our own power and strength to fully and passionately live our essential essence. Again, this occurs naturally when we connect to the Source of Infinite Power within each of us. We do not need to get power from others when we know how to connect to the infinite source.
Sep 28, Friday. The Moon moves into Taurus, and Mars moves into Cancer at the Galactic Edge or the point on the celestial sphere diametrically opposite to galactic center. The current Mars quest for intimacy, beauty, and sacred pleasure began in November 2005. Nearly two years later this cycle is in the process of completing just as the Taurus Moon is showing up with another transmission about these mysteries over the next couple of days. The new Mars quest in Cancer begins on December 24 when Retrograde Mars is opposite the Sun at zero Cancer.
Today marks the start of the gestation phase needed before Mars births into the Cancer Archetype. This is about actively nurturing ourselves and practicing self-care as the foundation that truly supports genuinely nurturing and caring for others. This may also be an opportunity to further heal any unhealthy expressions of “Father” we have ever experienced, including the absent, abusive, controlling, and/or angry Father.
Forgiveness of Father and of ourselves facilitates healing, as there is nothing that can be done to change what has already occurred. We cannot un-ring the bell once it has been rung. This is similar to the idea that an important aspect of Forgiveness is the release of all hope for a better past. However, it is important to note that the Forgiveness process includes feeling all the feelings of anger, hate, rage, frustration, fear, grief, regret, etc. as fully as possible, with awareness. Our awareness without judgment helps to dissolve these feelings naturally and this is a vital step in experiencing genuine forgiveness. Otherwise, we can “say” we have forgiven someone, but our bodies still hold the trauma. Therefore, the Forgiveness may not be 100 percent on all levels of being—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. This is one of the reasons it is helpful that we have the next 26 months to be with this process.
Sep 29, Saturday. Mercury (2 Scorpio) reaches greatest elongation from the Sun at 26 degrees, in its Evening Sky appearance. This signals the approaching Mercury Retrograde on October 12 at 9 Scorpio. Mercury has stretched itself as far as it can in the current Mercury cycle that began on June 28. Today Mercury is reaching for new ways of relational communication that furthers the growth and health of whatever relationships we are engaging. This isn’t always neat or skillful or even initially successful because we are stretching into unknown territory for the purpose of finding new, healthier ways to communicate that also work. Therefore, it may take experimenting and practicing before a more successful result is reached. Patience and acceptance are extremely helpful.
Sep 30, Sun. The Moon moves into Gemini this morning. Gemini is archetypally linked to play, spontaneity, imagination, and Peter Pan, who is the youthful genius that never wanted to grow up or lose his sense of magic. With Mercury (3 Scorpio) sextile Saturn (3 Virgo) in this Gemini Moon window, it is a great time to receive new messages about having fun while doing our sacred work and caring for the Earth. One way to engage this is by watching the movie Hook with Robin Williams. This movie is a great reminder of the importance of rediscovering our magic through happy thoughts and wild imagination.
