Hello Friends of Astrology,

Whispers from the universe are asking us to check in with our Body, Mind, and Spirit. Are all sides of who we are acknowledged and given time and energy to be happy and centered?  Mars is in Virgo for the first half of September giving an extra push to the core Virgo desire to have order in daily life. Since the new moon in Virgo is on the USA holiday of Labor Day Monday the 6^th it is quite the representation to take a pause and honor the workers of the world.

New Moon in Virgo

Feelings of getting life in order and new beginnings in education and work resonate at this time. The Virgo new moon on the 6^th is at 14 degrees which is the symbol according to Rudhyar: “A Fine Lace Handkerchief, Heirloom From Valorous Ancestors”.

This is a message of gracefulness, (M.E. Jones) and I would add gratefulness. Seek the grace and gracefulness in your life and it fills your heart with deep gratitude. There are six of the ten traditional planets connecting together by harmonious aspects of the trine (120 degrees) and two by the harmonious aspect of the sextile (60 degrees.) When the planets are in this configuration the flow of energy is very strong.

The new moon is exactly trine Uranus in Taurus. Uranus in Taurus has the reputation of being the great disrupter and the great awakener. The soft connection with the Virgo new moon will allow you to set forth your vision of health and wellbeing in your work life, and your physical wellbeing to take hold. Venus in Libra, where she is strong and able to produce results, is trine life giving and expanding Jupiter. Mars in dutiful Virgo is in harmony with Pluto giving determination to get things done.

Mercury, the ruler of the Virgo new moon, is in Libra conjunct the fixed star Vindemiatrix, the gatherer (B Brady.) It is a time to collect information that supports you for a balanced life. This is definitely a New moon to set your intentions by for a better life in the down to earth practical aspects.

Venus 5^th Gate: Opening Communication

September 9th Venus meets with the moon at 29 Libra at the 5^th gate; the throat chakra of communication as she is traveling in the return journey of her 584 day journey. The next new Venus cycle 584 day cycle is in January 2022. Venus moves into watery deep secretive Scorpio on the 10^th. The urge to merge is palpable. Take a look at your finances and renegotiate rates and obligations to get better deals. On the relationship side the renegotiation is about mutual trust and give and take.

Pisces Full Moon

Compassion, empathy, and imagination run deep with the full moon. The Pisces full moon on the 20^th is at 28 degrees, symbol by Rudhyar is: “Light Breaking Into Many Colors As It Passes Through A Prism”. The Pisces full moon is a time of compassion and service to a higher purpose. This is something that you claim, what is important to you beyond the day in and day out of life yet is still grounded in usefulness?

Gut intuition and critical thinking clarify what is truth what is fiction. Jupiter is at the midpoint between Neptune and Pluto. Watch the news and see fanatical thinking shows up. Jupiter expands, and with Neptune/Pluto it tends towards delusional or misguided ideas. The shadow of Neptune /Pluto is a controlling person who hides behind the image of helping or is very charismatic. The positive side is the expanding knowledge of esoteric wisdom.

The Pisces full moon has its ruling planet Jupiter at the same degree that the Aquarius new moon was February 11^th. This full moon will reveal what was hidden and swept under by chatter and distraction. Jupiter is conjunct a fixed star Deneb Algedi which is called the ancient law giver. With Jupiter is seeks to help though education which in turns improves the, spiritual and physical lives of people (Bernadette Brady). Seek out a course, class, or center that resonates with you that is connected to the spiritual growth which in turn helps your practical life for physical comfort and security.

Life gets busy with options for events, which ones to choose? The sun enters Libra on the 22^nd heralding in the fall equinox in the northern hemisphere. The energy quickly shifts to filling our spare time with friends and enjoyable social activities. Take out your calendar, search the web, meetups, happenings local and far, and set the plans in motion. September 25 Saturn and Neptune are in a tension aspect to each other. This is a keep the faith and keep on keeping on to stay emotionally healthy and not fall into the oh so easy place of hurt and frustration over situations out of your ability to change.

Mercury Retrograde in Libra

Once again Mercury shifts retrograde enabling us to take a breath and evaluate just how much you can do and get done. The 27^th Mercury shifts retrograde in Libra, the 3^rd and last Mercury retrograde of the year. All which have been in air signs emphasizing the need to examine our thoughts and whether or not just b/c we think it is it true? In Libra words fly back and forth for peace and justice. Harsh criticism is met with the call for kindness. The eve of October Venus is with Jupiter through a square aspect- really pushing to bring into October what one is passionate about in a big way.

With love, light, and gratitude,
Donna
