ASTROLOGY FORECAST (Sept 24 - Oct 1)
Close on the heels of the Autumnal Equinox is a really lovely New Moon in Libra on 9/25 at the notable time of 5:55 pm EST!
This New Moon will be accompanied by a very powerful feminine influence. The feminine signs, planets, and asteroids are newly open and receptive. Flexibility and Grace will be greatly favored here.
The planets and asteroids have been in a retrograde season. This will start to lessen now. The motion of many heavenly spheres is going forward over the next few weeks and months. Much of the influence has been an evaluation of our life circumstances and of the SELF. We are, above all, hoping to find a divine balance. Now the time is upon us to implement some of the ideas for improvement that have come to us.
On the day of the New Moon is a powerful Grand Trine. The Sun and Moon in early Libra, are in close conjunction to Venus and Mercury, both in late Virgo. They are all forming a trine with Pluto in Capricorn, and Uranus and the North Node in Taurus.
What does this present to us? Conjunctions and trines are, almost always, highly beneficial. This is focused on an increasing rise of care and comfort for all in a variety of loving expressions. How does EVERYONE thrive? Will we be served by shifting from competition to cooperation? How many ways can that find expression?
There are many prominent planets and asteroids already in, or approaching, signs that will reward love, grace, fairness, etc. EXAMPLES:
SUN in Libra
MOON in Libra
VENUS in Libra on 9/29
MERCURY in Libra on 10/1
PALLAS in Cancer
VESTA in Aquarius
JUNO in Pisces
CERES in Virgo on 9/29
LILITH in Cancer/Leo/Cancer
CHARILIKO in Aquarius
The asteroids listed above may not be as familiar to you, although I have mentioned some of them before. They are representative of the full spectrum of feminine traits that have an important role to play in both male and female humans. They emphasize, even in the male Air signs of Aquarius and Libra, the feminine balance of the psyche that includes all expressions of wisdom and ability. We are "fleshing out" the archetypal representations of the Zodiac as we include more heavenly bodies.
Now I would like to introduce another asteroid to you that is not well known, but potentially amazing to work with moving forward. It is CHARIKLO. She orbits between Saturn and Uranus. Her mythology is that she is the largest Centaur asteroid. She is wife to Chiron, the wounded healer. Chariklo was discovered in Feb, 1997. On the night of her discovery she was part of a spectacular 6 pointed star arrangement with 4 other planets and the Moon. In 2014 she was found to have 2 rings, making her even more distinctive.
Chariklo is associated with miracles, grace, divination, protection, and destiny. She is in Aquarius, and will be for years. This influence will help us immensely in these early years of the Aquarian Age. If we invite her energy into our lives, she can help us create in ways that include everyone who wishes to embody divinity. We can all thrive and all reach the heights together.
LILITH turns direct in Cancer on 9/27 for a few days. She passes into Leo for a short stay, then goes retrograde again and backs into Cancer once more. The orbit is erratic. Be aware of changing moods and, perhaps, wait to act for a few weeks on overly rebellious impulses.
Asteroid CERES moves into Virgo on 9/29. Ceres in this sign helps out organization and health of the physical body. Ceres demonstrates the wisdom of the mature feminine. This might be an instance in which the esoteric becomes logical. The thinking mind can expand a bit more. The "seasons of life" and their riches make sense in your thoughts.
VENUS moves into Libra on 9/29 until 10/23. Venus rules Libra, so she is very strong here. Not only all that is fair and just is encouraged, but all that is beautiful and graceful. Love shines brightly while Venus transits Libra adding a little more satisfaction to the harvest potential.
ASTROLOGY FORECAST (Oct 2 - 8)
Expect October to be a wonderful month of opportunity leading into the approaching Eclipse season, (10/25 Solar Eclipse in Scorpio and 11/08 Lunar Eclipse in Taurus.)
MERCURY retrograde ends on 10/2 as the messenger planet moves forward in Virgo once again until 10/10. This is a particularly influential placement. Mercury is both exalted in, and rules Virgo. Exaltation is thought to bring out a sign's best traits. Ruling a sign adds power to that sign's attributes, not necessarily only the positive ones, yet even if less stellar qualities are triggered, the planet's rulership gives you the best possible energies to work with in transmuting misqualified expressions that tend to trigger you.
After this contemplative retrograde season, there is even more potential to think clearly, and well, with the mental powers of the Virgo/Mercury combination. You may find you can operate more from the Divine mind rather than the ego mind. Solutions may arise in your mind to improve areas of your life involving detail and precision. These solutions may be some you have not thought of, or considered before.
I will also mention PALLAS in Cancer once more. This will be a very long stay, until May, 2023. Emotional intelligence and strategic wisdom are highlighted. THE COMBINATION OF THESE STRENGTHS ADDED TO MERCURY/VIRGO MAY CREATE UNIMAGINABLE BREAKTHROUGHS! EXPECT THEM. WATCH FOR THEM.
Asteroid VESTA resumes direct motion in Aquarius on 10/05. Vesta in Aquarius contributes to humanitarian efforts. Altruism and service to a higher calling are added to life's recipe.
PLUTO resumes direct motion in Capricorn on 10/08 after a 5+ month long retrograde interval. The shadow side of our personal, public, and collective lives has been scoured out and presented to the light of day. Now we have the chance for meaningful changes. Progress is possible, all the better if it is voluntary.
I think it is valuable to state here the potential for the expression of unconditional love. These shadow energies are simply lacking in light, and therefore, information and solutions. The fear we all feel in varying degrees can rise most easily in the shadows. Many different Wisdom teachings offer up a way to bring the highest part of yourself into expression- LET LOVE REIGN. Try your best to love the shadow in yourself, and the more you can do that, the easier it is to have compassion for the shadow in others. You, did the best you could at the time with the knowledge and energy you had available, and so did everyone else. Now we can all create anew. PLUTO assists with this endeavor.
The Solar Libra season offers us a wonderful balancing opportunity each year. Libra sees all sides of an issue or situation. We have all heard the adage about "walking a mile in my moccasins." That is where understanding thrives. That is also where the energy of SOLUTION thrives. Libra is an Air sign with a "cardinal" quality which expresses action, initiative, and leadership. MARS is currently in Air sign Gemini which has a "mutable" quality. The mutable quality signifies adaptability, versatility, openness to change, and flexibility. Do you see the potential?
Strong, sometimes rigid and aggressive, MARS is currently in a position that will allow a softened version of its qualities in a way that is very compatible with Solar Libra, who loves justice, fairness and balance above all else. Again, the tremendous potential for real breakthroughs for all of us!
Where this might show up for you is contained in the information around your zodiac "houses." I contend that you need not be an expert on all of the details. Your soul, angels, and guide teams are always with you. BE RECEPTIVE and you will very likely be aware of what area of your soul growth is being highlighted at any given moment. You are ALWAYS being assisted so that you may find your Godspeed!
