Another
exact contact by square aspect between radicalizing Uranus
and uprooting Pluto
occurs
mid-month, so be prepared to feel unprepared for whatever comes
along. With that in mind, I will tell you that my friend and
associate, Darlene, took me to see “Beasts of the Southern Wild”.
That film strikes me as a strong allegory for what is up with our
culture, on several levels. Check it out, and catch it in theaters
while you still can. Darlene's brilliant take on it prompts me to
wonder if you can project the young protagonist as a symbol for the
re-emerging feminine, being given all that the masculine, dominant
authority figures have to offer, representing the dominant paradigm
in its stance vis-a-vis Nature and the world? It may not be what the
filmmakers intended, but it works for me.
The
fall equinox arrives on September 22nd
this year, at 8:25 am PDT.
Remember
to read for your Ascendent/Rising Sign, too. (If
you do not know it, contact your friendly neighborhood astrologer to
find out.)
Aries-
You
must have passed the tests and trials laid out by Saturn
last month, Ram-rod, or you would not be reading this now.
Traditional astrologers believed Mars,
your patron planet, to feel extra-strong, yet stable in Scorpio. I am
in agreement with the those long-gone star-gazers – Aries Sun-sign
and Rising Sign people will be both powerful and balanced during this
phase, all the way through the first week of October! Your efforts
will succeed though a more nuanced and subtle application of your
strength and prowess throughout this transition from summer to fall.
Taurus-
Gain from play.
Success through joyful self-expression. What pleases, pays. Need I
say more? September is split down the middle by the lunations, the
first two weeks it is about the power and dynamism of your various
personae, the last half of the month you are working to make the most
of opportunities you have been creating though your sustained and
diligent efforts the past several months.
Gemini-
There are a lot of good days in September for Gemini tribes-members,
but the Sun
really shines for you Twinkle-twins from the 9th through the 18th. If
you are inclined (especially the magically-minded of you), you can
remove mucho garbage, (on all levels) before the 15th,
and start growing something groovy after. So, what makes your garden
grow, Gem? Well, think compost and fertilizer from the detritus you
eliminate, then fruit and flowers will soon follow. Homework: Read or
re-view The Way of
the Wizard
by Deepak Chopra.
Cancer-
Thoughtful Crabs are getting the best out of the transits this month.
Deep, penetrating insights and startling realizations through
thorough research with concentrated, focused attention on one hand,
and wild, possibly brilliant and original ideas arriving like
lightning via daydreams, night-dreams or while simply out strolling
on the other. Magnetize resources and work on unfinished business up
to the New Moon
on the 15th;
be bold with new agendas down the stretch to September's end.
Leo-
Venus
ingresses
or “moves in” to your very own sign on September 6th
(PDT), Golden Mane. If you can keep from overspending and blowing
your entire wad of play-money, you might have enough pocket change to
have a few good weeks of maximum pleasure. Stick with the notion of
keeping the happy vibes going, rather than a huge, brief rush of
ecstasy, and you might be able to ride the happy waves all month
long.
Virgo-
Are you making love, or war, Virgo? Maybe one should not set things
up in such stark, oppositional polarities, which can suggest a
black-and-white, overly simplistic view of things, however, the Full
Moon
on
the final day of August propels you Virgins head-on into a collision
course with enemies and/or lovers. Or perhaps with enemies who were
lovers, or lovers who used to be friends but now are...anyway, it is
all about facing off, getting clear, merging or purging. Suffice to
say, after September, it may never be the same as it was with some
people.
Libra-
Two disparate symbols to consider, Libra. Venus,
your guiding archetype, after a soulful and sensitizing sojourn in
Cancer, will get all hot and bothered while in Leo's domain starting
on September 6th
(in the Americas). Check out the Lion's 'scope to get a sense of the
possibilities. To balance out this glorious development, Scale-y,
look to Scorpio's forecast and think hind-sightfully. During these
last few weeks of September, reflect upon how much you have learned
and experienced in Saturn's
school
of hard knocks since Hallowe'en eve of '09. Incubate wisdom by
reflection to help get the most of this significant cycle, nearly
finished.
Scorpio-
A time of reckoning approaches, Scorp. Solemn Saturn
ingresses
into your sign in early October, sticking around for almost three
years, give-or-take a few months spent bedeviling the Sagnefarians.
You can already feel it can't you, the gathering forces that are
calling you out to your full capacity for decisiveness, authority,
and self-reliance? For now, be poised to take action on behalf of
your core values and in service to children, prime the pump of your
own creative juices, give yourself permission to defend others'
rights to make their own choices, even if you disagree. This
September is the month to link up with your allies and speak aloud
your hopes, dreams and intentions, and ask of them theirs, so you can
all pull together in the coming months.
Sagittarius-
With your governing planet, Jupiter,
slowing down for its retrograde phase, it is time for the Archers of
the world to pare down, prioritize and concentrate efforts on a few
pet projects and people. Otherwise, you may soon feel the shadow
sides of the biggest planet – overspending, over-extension,
over-commitment, over-load, overeating, etc. You get the picture,
Sag? If you put “over-” in front of most good things, they aren't
so good anymore.
Capricorn- September is the last full month that Saturn, your patron planet, travels though Libra, sign of justice, peace, partners, and plain ol' good manners. Tradition avows that Saturn is at its best in Libra, “exalted” as they say. Keep your public presentation positive and remember, that for only five weeks more will it seem like the spotlight never leaves you. Until then, you are your very own 24/7 reality show. Homework: watch or re-watch “The Truman Show”.
Aquarius-
The Full Moon
at the end of August portends needful adjustments and possibly
re-calculations, Aquarius, due to powerful influences that come from
areas in your life, that while not necessarily unexpected, carry a
certain gravity and emotional impact. The waxing square Moon
on Friday/Saturday the 7th
& 8th
of September mark a turning point toward the positive, blessed
relief, good news, and fun times for the Water Bearer.
Pisces-
The month of September continues the theme of companionship for
Fishes. Be not the wilting wall-flower, Pisces. If the invitation you
are pining for is not forthcoming by the 15th,
use the boost provided by the New Moon
in Virgo to reach out and make connections of your own volition. Not
all encounters this month are guaranteed fruitful, but sometimes we
do better with, than without, a part of, rather than apart. This is
one of those months.
