Sept 25 – Oct 1

Project Progress

What to expect: Getting lots done
What to watch out for: Pessimism
What will it affect? Projects, work, strategies, and plans

On Sept 25th Mercury is square Saturn. The good news is that we can get lots of focused work done. The bad news is that we may be overly negative, critical and perfectionist. Mercury is in Virgo making us very hard on ourselves and critical of our accomplishments. You may think what you’re working on is nothing or not very good, but keep going, when confidence returns you’ll see how much value the work has. It’s especially important to keep going on the projects you’re working on as Saturn is also trine to the North Node. This energy will help us to let go of bad habits and structures and incorporate new positive ones helping to guarantee success. If you bring new people into your project, you’ll likely work well with them. The energy of Mars trine Pallas on the 26th will also help to bring in practical strategy.

Why? Mercury Square Saturn, Saturn Trine North Node, Mars Trine Pallas

Quick Triggers

What to expect: Disappointment
What to watch out for: Acting without thinking
What will it affect? Purposeful work, social change, collective wounds

On the 27th Jupiter will oppose Uranus. There is a powerful push for balance and freedom. The Sabian symbols for the two degrees speak of disappointment. On one side is Jupiter, normally optimistic in the sign of Libra. It’s in the last degrees of Libra and making its last push to balance things out. The Sabian symbol for the degree is “A man in deep gloom. Unnoticed, angels come to his help.” On the other side is Uranus in the last degrees of Aries. It’s pushing for change and has been for quite some time. The Sabian symbol for that degree is “A large disappointed audience”. Unfortunately, this energy of Jupiter and Uranus will make us quick to make judgments and to act before we’ve completely thought things through.

As the Sun comes into a conjunction with Vesta also in Libra, our identities can be hugely tied up in our work. The kind of work we care about right now is the work that involves fairness and partnerships. At the same time, Mercury will oppose Chiron making it hard to let go of our thinking and perspectives. This may be the culprit in our disappointment. Our disappointment may also interfere with our ability to believe in a higher purpose. The best approach is to wait things out. Wait until you have more information, more time to think things through and for optimism to return.

Relationship Highroad

What to expect: Working through relationship issues
What to watch out for: A tendency to lie
What will it affect? Relationships, communication, work, money, leadership

Relationships face some difficulty between Sept 28th and Sept 30th.

Dishonesty may be the theme as Venus opposes Neptune. Maybe your partner is dishonest with you or you are dishonest with your partner or as a partnership, you are dishonest with others.

The Sun and then Vesta will square Juno building up the relationship tension. It’s likely to be a tension between balancing partnership needs with security and ambition. Does work get in the way of your relationship? If your relationship is about work, then does your relationship get in the way of work? Work towards honesty. Also, maybe better planning is in order? Venus will trine Pallas helping us to come up with strategy, plans, and goals together. Doing so will help to alleviate the tension. As you sit down to discuss matters, use the energy of Mercury sextile Ceres as it will help smooth out any conversations with playfulness, creativity, and praise.

Pluto will also go direct on Sept 28th, and by Oct 1st Mars will make a trine to it calling forth our leadership. Whatever we do with a positive intention will be highly influential and transformative.

Sept 18 – 24

New Moon in Virgo

What to expect: Leadership struggles
What to watch out for: deception and discouragement
What will it affect? Leadership, communication, collective wounds

The New Moon on Sept 19th is a powerful one! The New Moon happens at the 28th degree of Virgo. The Sabian symbol for that degree is “A bald-headed man dominates gathering of national figures”. On the same day, Venus will be at 29 degree’s of Leo, triggering the solar eclipse New Moon of Aug 21, 2017. This energy brings up again the question of leadership. The guard is changing, but this may not be an easy process. Leaders in place may push their agenda especially if they are not interested in seeing a new type of leadership. But Virgo is a very different kind of leader. Virgo is the Servant Leader – Servant Leaders are characterized by listening, empathy, healing, self-awareness, and things like stewardship instead of selfish spending, and persuasion instead of force. As we shift to this new model of leadership at this New Moon we may find ourselves reacting to an overbearing old leadership model. The New Moon sits opposite Chiron bringing up a collective wound. We may feel angry. But let your anger only serve to you to help you formulate New Moon intentions that focus on the building up this new leadership model!

Mercury, Mars, and Venus are all now moving through Virgo and that means they will also oppose the slow moving planet Neptune, currently sitting across for Virgo at around 12 – 13 degrees Pisces. Neptune has been in Pisces for a while, and in that sign has brought us into a very spiritual time. But spirituality has its light and shadow aspects and now through the end of the month, we will see some of those shadowy aspects emerge. As mercury opposes Neptune on the 19th and we can be sure a calculated lie will be told. It may be told with the practical in mind. Like the kinds of lies we tell to kids when we want to get them to do something we want. Or it could be something that comes through the arts, feels entertaining but throws us into confusion or disillusion. Think of the Mentalist using the “five senses to create a so-called a sixth sense”, but in reality, playing with your mind at a subconscious level to manipulate responses. Sit with any confusion you are experiencing, or even set as part of your New Moon intention, the desire for clarity and the truth.

Transformative Words

What to expect: Powerful communication
What to watch out for: opportunities to communicate
What will it affect? Relationships, self-concept, communication

On Sept 21st the Sun will give a big hug to Ceres, making us feel nurtured and comforted. This is a nice break from the New Moon and it puts us in a good mood. It also helps our conversation to love and inspiring when on Sept 22nd Mercury will trine Pluto. This is a good time to negotiate, make a speech, research or investigate. We’ll be able to reach a depth in our communication that we normally would not. By the 23rd Venus will make a trine to Juno and the good feelings continue, this time with our partnerships. Both Venus and Juno are in earth signs so there is a practical realization, maybe that our values are now well matched or that there is an ease that is created from a stream of stability.

Why? Sun Sextile Ceres, Mercury Trine Pluto, Venus Trine Juno

A Moment of Lethargy

What to expect: Laziness
What to watch out for: Deception
What will it affect? Motivation, quality of work

Mars opposes Neptune on Sept 24th and we feel that deception again. This time we also may feel a lack of motivation. Laziness may take over us causing us to miss details or fluff off our responsibilities. The deception may come from someone trying to fluff off their accountability or responsibility. If you have employees, now is the time for the check-in. Make sure to ask lots of questions!

New Directions

What to expect: Re-evaluation
What to watch out for: holding on to things that no longer work
What will it affect? Work, Relationships, Childhood wounds

Our causes come into questions for much of the first part of the week. What do we stand for? Why are we doing it? Does it still matter? We may have joined a cause and felt with all of our being that this was the thing that mattered, that would make a difference, that had the potential to fulfill a part of our mission and purpose. This week as Chiron opposes Vesta we call all of that into question. Maybe we no longer feel the same about that wound that was driving us in that direction. As we lose or heal our anger about something, we also lose the passion.

Venus will trine Saturn at the 12th adding some practicality to our value system. We budget and take account of what we truly value and sometimes it means that something drops off our budget or gets directed into something else that truly matters. Don’t worry if it seems like an about-face. Venus will also conjunct the North Node making sure that our decisions are fortunate and taking us in the right direction.

Removing Blockages

What to expect: Feeling thwarted
What to watch out for: Being discouraged
What will it affect? Self-concept, relationships, childhood wounds

On September 13th, we encounter our first test. Sun will square Saturn making it likely that difficulties will arise. Difficulties can sometimes make us feel that we’ve taking the wrong turn. If it’s the right direction, shouldn’t it be easy?

Communication in our relationships will be a priority as Mercury trines Juno the marriage asteroid. We are looking for again for practical solutions and talking it out with others will help us come up with a plan. As we move further into the week on the 14th Chiron will trines Ceres, bringing up some childhood wounds that can now be healed. Maybe these are the source of our perceived blockages? Chiron is in Pisces and is also connecting us to our collective wounds around parenting and nurturing. Parenting was a whole different ball game in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Parental expectations; how much they were there for us; were too involved in their own lives or were they too involved in our lives. Different generations had different parenting styles and problems! Often the next generation took on the job of “doing it differently” only to add a different kind of wound! Now is the time when we can look at those lessons learned and try again for something better.

Good Investments

What to expect: Decisiveness
What to watch out for: Missing the opportunity
What will it affect? Money, relationships, projects, new directions

On September 15th Venus will sextile Jupiter. This is a great transit for holding a party or networking. It’s also great for investing. Venus is in Leo and with Jupiter in Libra, we can make some risky but balanced investments. Investments can include investments in financial deals, but also relationships. Mercury will also be conjunct Mars, making us very decisive and with these two in Virgo, we’ll work in a concentrated and quick manner without missing any of the detail. This is good news! The only drawback is that it is a sextile and with sextile, we often enjoy the energy without taking advantage of it!

Don’t loose out! Take advantage of it!

Why? Venus Sextile Jupiter, Mercury Conjunction Mars

Finding our Originality

What to expect: Breaking free of past
What to watch out for: Guilt trips from loved ones
What will it affect? Relationships, money, parental relationships

On Sept 17th, Uranus will square Ceres and Venus will trine Uranus. We find that we are rebelling against our early upbringing. Maybe it’s a result of something we healed and got clear about earlier in the week.  If you have never properly ‘individuated’ from your parents and family, now is the time it can happen. We break free from that unhealthy relationship and we move forward.Our family might not like it. There may be opposition. But it’s an important step for us that may have been blocking us from our purpose. With Venus trine to Uranus, we’ll make some seemingly unlikely connections, partnerships and financial deals that will take us in a new and positive direction. Whether they like it or not!
