Pluto Direct

Pluto direct  

9/28: Pluto direct 3:35pm 16 Cap 51

Speaking of things intense and some times dark we have Pluto going direct the day after Jupiter opposes Uranus.   Wow.   The great divine is really getting our attention.   Pluto spends half of every year either going direct or going backwards.   Back in April Pluto turned retrograde.  The lessons of Pluto in Capricorn are pretty easy to see.  Who are our leaders?  How are our organizations?  How are our businesses?  How are the finances of our democracies?   How is big business working for us?  How is it not working?   On a personal level—what kind of CEO are you in your own life?  Are you rewarding yourself with well- deserved bonuses?  Are you a harsh boss harping on all your mistakes?  Are you not paying yourself enough in money or praise?  Are you cheating yourself on some level?  And how are you short changing your own power?   What have you learned since April about what empowers you?   And what have you learned since April about the value of letting things die?  How can you use that knowledge to improve your life in a daily manner?  

Jupiter Oppose Uranus

Jupiter’s move  

On September 27 Jupiter will make its final opposition to Uranus.  The first hit was December 26 then March 2 and now we complete the process.   Jupiter in Libra has been speaking to us all about fairness and partnerships.  Uranus in Aries wants to break new ground and embrace revolutionary thinking.    Did you take your relationships to new territory in late December?  Did something revolutionary happen?  Perhaps it was a small change but important change.    How about March?  Any changes then?    Did you feel something shift at the beginning of June with your relationships?   At that point Jupiter went direct and we felt the energy rev up.    What has felt fair and what has felt unfair in your relationships?   Expect one more shot of adrenalin in your partnerships or relationships as we head to the final Jupiter-Uranus opposition.      Special shout out to our Aquarian friends, Jupiter may be pushing you a wee bit harder since Uranus is your ruling planet.  Where do you need to get out of Dodge? Where do you need to break free?  Or from whom?   How would you benefit by international input?    Or your education what needs to be a tune up?    Once Jupiter makes contact with Uranus we may have something come up where we say---“oh, you again” this time use the Virgo lunar cycle to fix it.   And then about two weeks later Jupiter leaves Libra for Scorpio and will not return to Libra for 12 years.   So, let’s make the most of the Jupiter oppose Uranus and the final days of finding balance and fairness in Libra.   Because after October 10---well it is not about balance.  

This Astrological Week

This Astrological Week

We begin the week in a Crescent Moon.   Lots to think about that speak to our black/white nature.   Our definitive nature will be up.    On the 27^th the final pass between Jupiter and Uranus will be up our grill.   Relationships and issues of fairness and independence will be pronounced. And big rhetoric.   See separate post.   And on the 28^th Pluto turns direct.  How’s your leadership looking?   More will be revealed during the next six months which will probably push on all of us.  Lots to figure out. See separate post. 

Focus on: What are you learning about transformation?  What are you learning about power or empowerment?  What are you learning about death and rebirth?  What are learning about ‘letting go’?  What are you learning about taxes and legal matters?   And what are learning about investments?

Special focus:

9/24:  Mars oppose Neptune.  Actions that are confused.  Creativity that feels rushed.  Energy not consistent.  Goes in fits and starts.

9/25: Mercury square Saturn:  Bravado thinking gets doused with cold water.  Getting lost in minutia and missing big ideas.   Big ideas miss the details.

9/27: Jupiter oppose Uranus.  (see separate post)

First Quarter Moon

September 27, 2017 

10:53pm EDT

Focus on:  What actions are you taking that support your business?  What actions are you taking that are sober, smart and celebrate your inner CEO?  What actions are you taking that support your structure as a leader?   Where do you need to just stand up and do the right thing and put it out there?

Special focus

9/28: Pluto direct 3:35pm 16 Cap 51 (see separate post )

9/29: Venus oppose Neptune.  Love & money feel fuzzy, muted.  Values melt.  Delusion and illusion around love and money and creativity.

9/29:  Mercury enters Libra

10/1: Mars trine Pluto.  Actions that transform are very powerful.  Actions that speak to morphing.

Venus Crosses the Eclipse Point

On September 18 Venus crosses the eclipse point from August 21st.    It is hard to believe but it has been less than a month since the huge solar eclipse.  I know, I know it seems like a half a year ago instead of 26 days.   Venus the planet of love and values is now driving over the point of the eclipse at the 28 degree mark of Leo.    
As you remember the eclipse spoke to our strength, our courage, our authenticity and being brave especially in our heart.    Now we have Venus the planet of love visiting those same issues.   How do we value or love courage?  How do we love strength?  How do we value authenticity?  And what is the status of our self love?   Who is attracting our attention?  Where are we turning on our magnet so that we are attracting power & strength & love?   Venus' more abrasive partner Mars already drove by the eclipse point on September 3, Mercury actually turned direct on September 5 at the eclipse point--so our actions (Mars) and our brain and thinking (Mercury) stopped by 28 degree of Leo and got love and strength in their sights.   And now the belle of the ball is finally sashaying up to her own issues around love and strength.   What can we learn from Venus?   Watch the day and see if you are pulled or tugged towards issues of strength and courage.   And watch what your magnetism attracts    Remember Venus because she speaks to values includes issues around money, creativity and beauty- where does self love benefit those matters?  Again what are you attracting?    Pay attention so you can take the gifts of Venus.

This Week in Astrology

We start the week with Disseminating Moon.

On the 9th, Mercury returns to Virgo having not been at this point since the end of July and although Mercury is no longer retrograde the final shadow point ends on September 12^th.  Now in Virgo again we cross our ts and dot our I’s.  We looks at areas that we have neglected especially matters of health and hygiene and diet.   And of course our critical thoughts may be up.  Okay, we all think we could do something better than we did it before.  Constructive criticism is important.  But sloppy negativity?  No one wants.   Work on fixing the things you can and be gentle about the rest.

End of the week we  have the annual Saturn square Sun  (9/13) which suggests a grind between getting a big picture versus going in tight with details.   It is important to not go for one and ditch the other.   We must have a goal and we must have a plan of small actions to make the goal.   Also on 9/13, we move into Third Quarter Moon where we do our final actions on any seeds we planted back on the new moon.  Remember the new moon was the eclipse on 8/21.  Doesn’t that feel like a million years ago? It was only three weeks.  What areas of your life need strength, love and joy?   Go ahead and address yourself and do some work to improve those areas.  Like a greedy child who wants summer to never end…lap up the final days this Leo lunar cycle.  Have fun, be big,  be strong –love!

Focus on:  How are you sharing your concreteness?   How are you sharing your resources?  How are you showing your practical nature?  How are you sharing the power of building something from the ground up?  How are you sharing the value of finances and properties? 

Special focus:

9/9: Sun Trine Pluto:  Death and rebirth are a joyous experience.  Transformation feels light and easy. 

9/9: Mercury enters Virgo

9/12: Venus trine Saturn.  Values are supported and given structure.

Last Quarter Moon Phase

September 13,

2:24pm  EDT

Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense.  And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living  “The serenity prayer”

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.

Focus on:

What actions are you taking that support communications?  What actions are you taking support connections?  What actions are you taking that support  lightness?  What actions are you taking that support siblings or neighbors?   How are you resisting gossip?

Special focus:

9/13: Sun square Saturn.  Frustration, delays, hurdles Micro versus Macro –finding the place in the middle is difficult.
