The Sun may
not enter the sign of Libra until September 22nd at 10:29 p.m. on the east
coast for the Autumnal Equinox (farewell summer), but I would wager that many people
have been feeling the Libra energy all week. Mercury and the north node of the moon
have been dancing together since mid-September and they formed an exact
conjunction on September 17th in 19 degrees of Libra. The themes of this aspect
include making peace while simultaneously seeking justice, needing to move
beyond the victim role and releasing the desire for revenge, and healing old
wounds by saying the right words.
Mercury's
conjunction to the north node in Libra prompted me to tweet on September 16th:
"Mercury
in Libra's conjunction to north node facilitates peaceful communication in
relationships this week."
The bottom
line with this Libran influence is that transformation is necessary. Uranus in
Aries has been forming a yod (aka the "finger of God") aspect with
Venus in Virgo and Ceres in Scorpio. A yod occurs when two planets sextile (60
degrees) each other and inconjunct (150 degrees) a third. Venus and Ceres are
playing nicely while forming a challenging aspect to Uranus. I love how astrologer
Dietrech Pessin describes inconjuncts: "life's messy, clean it up
aspect." A change is required in our attitudes toward relationships and
values (the Venus piece) and our sense of self-worth and self-protection (the
Ceres piece).
If you are
questioning if yods are really all that powerful, I can assure you that they
are because I have one in my chart. It involves my moon in Gemini, Saturn in
Scorpio, and north node in Capricorn. I am living proof that this aspect has
pretty much dominated my life. That moon/Saturn inconjunct has always felt like
a cross to bear but integrating it with that north node in Capricorn is
definitely challenging. The north node represents our soul's destiny, after
all.
The theme of
healing in relationships comes into play with Chiron in Pisces opposing Venus
in Virgo and trining Ceres in Scorpio. It inspired me to tweet on September
17th:
"Venus
in Virgo opposing Chiron in Pisces today can bring old wounds to the surface
for healing."
Don't be
surprised if you find yourself experiencing a new perspective on relationships
in the coming month. Pluto stations
direct at 11 degrees of Capricorn on September 22nd, the same day
the Sun enters Libra.
The pace of
the Libra energy intensifies as we have a new moon in 1 degree of Libra on
September 24th on the east coast. The core themes of this new moon are
reflecting on balance, compromising and peace. Libra may be symbolized by the
scales of balance, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Libra is always in a
state of balance; the key to understanding Libra is acknowledging its search
for balance.
We have
every right to be optimistic about this new moon because the Jupiter in Leo
trine to Uranus in Aries is exact at 15 degrees of their respective signs on
the following day, September 25th. This aspect galvanizes our passion for
attaining our dreams and fuels our ambitions. September 25th also marks Rosh
Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. What an astrologically auspicious beginning for
a new year!
The Libra
new moon is in my 12th house so it is a perfect time for me to retreat and
prepare for a new cycle. Since the Sun is residing in my 12th house until
October 10th, I know that my physical energy is at its lowest but I am eagerly
anticipating its entry into my first house and the accompanying rush of energy
that it brings.
If you are
feeling confused during these challenging times and curious as to how Saturn, Mars,
Uranus, Chiron or the Black Moon Lilith are affecting you, please consider
getting an astrological reading to obtain more insight and assistance in the
healing process. I have also added a one question astrology reading to my list
of services for $40 that is an even more intuitive approach based on your natal
and progressed charts with transits to both.
