Perhaps a bit bumpy...Astro this week

This Week in Astrology

I may have gotten your attention with that photo.  And I am not one to go for hyberbole but I think there may be some bumps this week.  On Friday (9/9) we moved into first quarter moon.    For three days we will explore:

Focus on:  What is going on with your beliefs?  What is going on with your opinions?  What is going on with your prejudices?  How are you bridging group with ‘foreign’ people?  How is all of this stuff impacting your daily life?  How are you being inspired by your philosophy, opinions and judgments?  And if you are not, why? 

At this same time we will be feeling pinched.  Yep.  Pinched. 

Special focus

There is a tough window, not hideous but certainly a pain in the ass.   It starts on 9/10 with the Saturn Neptune square.  Followed on 9/1:  Venus and Pluto get into it.    9/12 Mercury gets into with Mars and on 9/12 Sun conjuncts Mercury (our mouths could get the better of us).  Then 9/13 the Sun fights with Mars.   Blech.  

If crap comes up and you are in the thick of it, go back to your Virgo.  Go back to your daily life.   What changes do you need to make in your daily life and schedule that will alleviate the issues that are coming up now? 

For example if you forgot to set an appointment with your accountant and now you aren’t able to get to see him or her before the October 15 date ask yourself why?  What happened that you missed this mark? What are you so busy taking care of that is not YOU or YOUR needs or responsibilities you sign up for?   

Are you starting to see a theme?  How are you taking responsibility for your daily grunt life?     There is a saying in politics all politics is local with the tensions we are working through this cycle all actions are your schedule. 

On September 13 the moon moves into Gibbous phase.

Focus on:

What needs to be refined about your groups?  What needs to be refined with your friendships?   What needs to be refined about the people who have the same ideals as you?  What is going on in this department?  Is it strong or is it weak?  How is it impacting your daily life?  Or not.  And if not, why not? 

Special Focus:

9/13:  Sun Squares Mars.  Rough.  Small mindedness versus big picture.  Religion versus worldly events.   Anger all over the place.

And finally on Friday 16h is the Lunar eclipse Pisces Full Moon.  3:05pm EDT

That post will follow.

If this turns out to be a bumpy week for you or us, let’s remember to go back to our schedule and keep it simple.  

Jupiter in Libra September 9

Jupiter in Libra

September 9, 7:18am  edt

For those of us who have planets in mutable signs we have not enjoyed Jupiter’s last year or so in Virgo.  Ah, no.   And in fact no one on earth really enjoyed it when Jupiter got into tussles with Neptune and Saturn in 2015.  It was tough.    

But now on September 9 Jupiter will move out of mutable Virgo and into cardinal Libra.    Jupiter in Libra is putting the focus on our relationships and partnerships and finding balance.   This is tricky given we are asking a ginormous planet with a mega gravitational pull to help us find balance.  How is that possible?  Easy, it will do it in a BIG WAY, that’s how.  Jupiter will wrap up next fall (October) when it moves into Scorpio.  In the meantime we will see a ton of over the top loves and weddings.   Cue the horse drawn carriages on the golf courses.   Everyone will be having a big fat greek wedding even if they aren’t greek.   Showy expressions of love will be out there for all of us to see.   At the same time we should expect big movements in international negotiations.    Perhaps peace treaties with long term warriors.  I would think the UN will be in the news or Nato.    There will be some hurdles in 2017 when Jupiter gets into a tussle with Pluto and then Uranus but we’ll deal with that later.   In the meantime we may feel a big boost of good cheer come in with Jupiter after the 9^th.  What again is interesting that we get this perk from Jupiter less than 24 hours before the final square of Saturn and Neptune.  Perhaps Jupiter’s generous spirit will help us tidy up our belief system of messy contradictions? 

More to come on Jupiter in Libra going forward.

Saturn Vs Neptune: Final Round Sept 10

Saturn/Neptune Final Square

The last round of this square will take place on September 10 9:03am (edt).  As the tension builds towards this date and as it unwinds after the 10th, we would all be served to connect up with what we believe.  Do we think we are constantly victimized?  Are we delusional about people places or situations?  Do we deny things that are obvious?  Are we addicts?  Are the people in our life addicts?   Are we righteous?  Are we following righteous people over a cliff?   What is true in YOU?   We all have to wake up with ourselves in the morning.  What are your choices saying about your beliefs?    And of course are you and the people in your life Walking their Talk?     What does that mean for you? 

Just to make sure your bases are covered and you are up to speed with Saturn/Neptune here are a few other thoughts on it.

Astrology this Week...

This week in Astrology

We continue to be in New Moon Phase until Sep.5.  How are you taking care of details?  How are you looking at your choices for  your schedule?   How does it speak to your belief system?   How is your daily life in sync with your moral compass?   How is it not?    How are you getting rid of clutter?    How are you going through piles of work that have been sitting on your to-do list?

Then we move into Crescent Phase. 

Focus on: What are you learning about your relationship?  What are your learning about partnership?  What are you learning about balance?  How are all of these things inspiring your daily life?   Or not?  And why not?   Where are you walking your talk?  

Special Focus:

9/6:  Sun Trine Pluto.  Easy to let stuff die knowing something great comes up in its place. Death and the beauty of rebirth. 

9/7: Venus sextile Saturn.  Support for love and money.  Values feel propped up.  

9/9: Jupiter enters Libra  (see separate post)

Jill Stein Astro Shout Out on Green Candidate

Upon request I have taken a look at Jill Stein (Green Party Nominee) chart.   We do not know the time of her birth and therefore we are not exactly sure about her Moon.   This chart was drawn for twelve noon and that puts the moon at 28 Aries.   If she was born in the evening her Moon will be in Taurus.   It is hard not to over state the obvious meaning Taurus is so earth bound and concerned about earthly matters that I am tempted to wonder out loud if she is a double Taurus with Sun and Moon in the first earth sign.   

But the fact that she is out there in a big way and seriously she is because I don't think I have ever known the name of a green candidate before this year--- this makes me think she does indeed have Moon in Aries.  She is breaking new ground like a good Moon in Aries.   Stein  has Mercury conjunct her Sun which makes her way more light on her feet than a typical Taurus. She will shift and wiggle her opinions.   She feels more like a Gemini than a Taurus.    The good news with Mercury on the Sun is she can move around a bit and in fact shift her opinions which many a senior politician knows is important as you get stuff done.   Maybe not exactly dump your opinions but prioritize.   Someone with Mercury Sun is not letting the lack of perfection get in the way of good.   They get stuff done.     But to Stein's critics the Mercury/Sun could feel like a 'lightweight" approach.   I'm not qualified to debate either regarding her opinions by the way.  

I wish Saturn was stronger in her chart via aspect with Sun or Moon.   Or even Uranus.    Again, we don't know the time of birth so either planet could be near the MC which would be weighty.    But I think you would need more to get the Green Party where it needs to land than just house placement.  A big old Saturn opposition Sun or conjunction would be very helpful.  Even though those are tough aspects the work to make Green as viable as Blue or Red is going to be a major hurdle and a candidate with tough natal aspect would be able to handle it.     I do think it is interesting that she is slogging out a transiting Saturn square her own Saturn which brings out all of our insecurities and I am sure she is working super hard right now to be viable and simply to 'matter'.  This is terrific.    We will need that kind of work to get Green up a notch or two on people's radar.   Can she make it to the debate stage?   I'm not sure.   I see tension aspects but not sure rewards.   Hmm.   

Trump VS Clinton September Astrology

Trump & Clinton:  September  Astrology  

Political pundits will tell you that USA general elections really begins after Labor Day.    I’m not sure that applies in this particular freak show year but sure it probably will gain stream.    So, let’s take a look at the transiting planets for both Trump and HRC for September.

First of all we need to look at the basic astrology going on for September that has nothing to do with the election.   Currently, the twenty-nine day lunar cycle launched on September 1^st with the Virgo Eclipse is generating high tension.   Then of course we are in Mercury retrograde for three weeks.  And the last Saturn/Neptune square takes place in middle of September.   Okie Dokie, if this was a non election year this month would have plenty of skank moments on its own, now add politicians weighing in on the moments?  Blech.   Anyway, let’s look at Trump & HRC for September.

Trump’s transiting chart is very fiery this month.    Mars & Uranus, Mars & Moon and Mars & Sun will bring out the red meat baiting warrior.   A kinder gentler DJT is not happening with these aspects.  Probably a lot of stepping on his own johnson with that much mars. And it will get even more theatrical when Mars goes into his 5^th house of DRAMA.   Cue the fireworks!   But no one should be suggesting a complete implode.   Especially with Uranus trine Moon also in his astro playbook.      There will be out of the blue surprises in his favor going forward.     And with Neptune trine Mercury the surprises might even look divine.   Both Neptune & Uranus will be in effect until Feb.  

September - Feb 2017.   Neptune trine Mercury. Inspired  thinking and confused thinking. A period of reflection and finding grace. 

September: Mars oppose Uranus.  Chaos actions, disruption, aggression.  Erratic energy in public and in private. 

September: Mars conjunct Moon:  Ouch.  Anger with close relatives and family.  Anger with women in general.  Anger rhetoric.   

September:  Mars opposition Sun.  Heated rhetoric.  Mental anxiety.  Mercurial.  Shallow.  Actions and talk are out of sync.  

September: Mars trine Mars. Actions line up with unconscious motivations.  Energy flows again. 

September: Mars trine Asc.  Self confidence boosted again.   Physical vitality perks up.  

September - November.  Mars in 5th house.  Accent on theatrics.  Accent on heart.  Creativity up.  Ego up. 

September - Feb.  Uranus trine Moon.  Unusual and major breakthroughs in emotions.  Feeling the desire to make major changes in home.  Feeling restless.  Women mix things up.

HRC’s transiting chart for September until January has super fuzzy Neptune on top of her moon.   “Earth to Hillary. Earth to Hillary”,  connecting to reality will be challenging.    There will be a melting of reality.   Perhaps this comes with a Presidential win or perhaps this comes with more disclosures from Julian Assange.   Or perhaps it is both.    Pluto is in good aspect with Venus and transiting Jupiter to natal Jupiter will both bring opportunities in Sep & Oct.    If her birth time is correct, Mars entering her second house will bring more dough and more resources.    She is also supported by Mars with Saturn. Great for building upon something.     But like Trump, Mars will also be opposing her Uranus, the disruptions will either come from her own efforts or from out of the blue outside influences.   There are some earthquakes.  How big?   Unclear. 

September  - January  Neptune conjunct Moon:  Feeling connected to humanity, feeling lost, feeling a part of a wave.   Overwhelming feelings.  Staying grounded and connected to reality is challenging.  Turn to others for reality check.

September & October.  Pluto trine Venus:  Evolution of values.  Empowerment through love.  Psychology of love and value.  Influx of appreciation that creates evolution.

September:  Jupiter sextile Jupiter:  Outside sources build bridges.  Travel is beneficial.   Stretching feels in sync with big goals.

September:  Jupiter moves into 11th house (*).  Boost of groups and association.  Feeling connected to like minded thinkers.

September - October: Mars into 2nd house (*).  Boost of money, wanting to feel connected to creature comforts.  Accent on material resources.

September.   Mars trine Saturn.  Actions and hard work are solid.  Sticking to routine and discipline presents strong results.

September:  Mars oppose Uranus.  Desire to break free from restrictions.  Restless.  Impulsiveness. Sudden changes may pop up.
