September 1st – 5th 2015

(all times are PDT)

September starts a few hours after one of the most intense of aspects – Venus conjunct Mars. In Leo, no less. Venus is retrograde but preparing to go stationary direct, so Venus may be moving more slowly than Mars and thus be stronger. Perhaps urbane good sense will outweigh passionate action. You decide. Regardless, it’s a Tuesday (the day of the week ruled by Mars, with the Moon in Aries (a Mars-ruled sign). Take that fire and burn your way through a month full of productive days. Be daring and undeterred. You can still love it, too. (continue reading…)

Welcome to September, still Summer but not for long. (continue reading…)

Welcome to the heart of Virgo, a time when we want softer voices, softer touches, and better attention to detail. Not that we get everything we want. (continue reading…)

September 2011
This month begins on a Thursday (Jupiter’s day of the week)
with the Moon in Libra, entering Scorpio by early afternoon.
I take that as a trend for the month, beginning smoothly
with big plans, and ramping up as the days go by. Let’s see
how much we can get done!

Fri Sep 02 the Moon is in Scorpio when the Sun exactly
trines Jupiter. Keep your eye on the big project and don’t
get complacent if it’s going well.

Tue Sep 06 the Moon conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn. We see
this at least once a month, but it’s good for getting work
done (especially today, on a Mars day) if we can stay calm
enough to do it.

Wed Sep 07 the Moon is in Capricorn all day. It’s another
month of Wednesdays with the Moon in a cardinal sign. Start
things, but don’t let them languish. The Moon makes an
opposition to Mars in midafternoon, then goes void of
course. If you decide on a major rewrite of something, be
brave but not manic. (continue reading…)
