A Super New Moon in Libra Helps Us to Set Some New Intentions to Achieve Balance in Relationships


Libra season is in full force these days and it became official on September 23, 2019 when the sun entered Libra.  On that day I tweeted:
The sun joined Mercury and Venus in Libra.  On September 28, 2019, we will have a Super New Moon in 5 degrees of Libra. It’s called a super new moon because the moon is in very close orbit to the earth and that makes its influence even more potent.  This new moon is centered on many of the traditional Libra themes of justice, rebalancing extremes and obtaining more harmony in relationships. 

But this new moon has some very intriguing aspects involved that supply an added emphasis and oomph to the relationship theme.  For starters, the sun and moon in 5 degrees of Libra are opposing Chiron the wounded healer in 3 degrees of Aries.  This opposition to Chiron can activate a healing process or even a crisis.  It may very well require that we release our fears of not being good enough.  It could provide a powerful opportunity to heal some longstanding wounds in relationships.

The sun and moon in Libra are also forming an inconjunct to Uranus in 5 degrees of Taurus.  Since Uranus is the planet associated with sudden upsets, an undercurrent of rebellion could rise to the surface very suddenly.  We could find ourselves craving freedom big time if we have felt the least bit stifled in our relationships.  And since the inconjunct is the aspect that pretty much demands adjustments in order for the planets involved to co-exist, we may have to make some compromises as we reevaluate our priorities in existing relationships. 

The aspects that this new moon makes to both Chiron and Uranus are compelling us to move forward spiritually.  Chiron in Aries pertains to healing our own wounds around identity and Uranus in Taurus, a sign ruled by Venus, can deliver some new insights into healing old relationship issues.  This will be an action packed new moon because we have six planets in cardinal signs: the sun, moon, Mercury, and Venus in Libra in addition to Saturn and Pluto and Capricorn.  Cardinal signs love to initiate action, which is a big change from the Virgo season of mutable energy, which can at times be so confusing that it is hard to make any discernible progress.

There is also a very karmic feeling to this new moon in Libra courtesy of Saturn in 14 degrees of Capricorn conjunct the south node of the moon.  It can be a time of getting what we have earned for past efforts.  Something from the past could resurface to literally tip the relationship scales or some relationships could end if they have run their course.  Saturn has a way of testing us and removing outworn structures that no longer serve our best interests.  Saturn in Capricorn has been squaring Venus in Libra since September 25th and while this is definitely a testing aspect, it can help us to be more realistic about relationships and perhaps set some much needed boundaries.  I know that I personally will be feeling the karmic nature of this new moon as it falls in my 12th house and squares my north node in Capricorn and south node in Cancer.

Pluto in Capricorn isn’t letting us off the hook with this new moon either.  We will be feeling its influence due to an approaching square from Venus in Libra that is exact on October 1, 2019 in their respective signs.  I have a natal Venus Pluto square, so I am all too familiar with the havoc this aspect can wreak.  Venus square Pluto can trigger feelings of jealousy and possessiveness.  Obsession is its theme song.  Mercury in 22 degrees of Libra is also squaring Pluto in 20 degrees of Capricorn on the new moon, which can generate quite a bit of intensity, manipulation, jealousy and control issues on its own.  So communications could get a little heated on this new moon.

If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading.  I am now offering short telephone astrology consultations for 30 minutes which are available for purchase on the Services Offered page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the cost of $35.

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a new combination reading which offers the option of a 30 minute astrology consultation with a one question tarot reading for only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can accommodate any budget.

Jupiter Square Neptune Take Three and the Sun Enters Libra





Now that we have all survived the recent Pisces full moon on September 14, 2019, we can focus on even more Neptunian energy with the third and final Jupiter in Sagittarius square to Neptune in Pisces of 2019 on September 21, 2019.  The first square occurred on January 13, 2019 when both planets were direct in 14 degrees of their respective signs.  The last square occurred on June 16, 2019 when both planets were in 18 degrees of their respective signs, but Jupiter was retrograde.  The final square of 2019 occurs in 17 degrees on September 21, 2019 featuring Neptune retrograde.

The Jupiter Neptune square has been a prevailing influence throughout 2019.  It has a strong theme of dissolving limitations and boundaries.  Jupiter focuses on expansion (key word for Jupiter) of the self through a pursuit of meaning while Neptune inspires us to break free of the boundaries of the limitations of the material world and the self.  This is a pretty potent aspect to be influencing the year 2019 because both planets are in the signs they rule: Jupiter in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces.  It’s a great influence for creative types and exploring spirituality, but not so much for being grounded and making practical decisions.

Jupiter has a tendency to promise more than it can deliver while Neptune is illusory, evasive, escapist and addictive.  But Neptune does have the power to illuminate, so don’t count it out. Jupiter squaring Neptune can dissolve the truth; Jupiter represents our search for the truth and Neptune is all about dissolving.  With this final square occurring in 17 degrees of Sagittarius and Pisces, Sagittarians born between December 8th-10th will feel its impact the most and Pisces born between March 5th – 8th will also be feeling the greatest impact. But we will all be feeling its influence to some effect, especially if you have any mutable planets (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) around 17 degrees.

How will this aspect play out in the world?  Situations could escalate out of control as beliefs take over.  One glance at the political scene these days in the United States and Great Britain is proof of that.  We do have an advantage of Jupiter in Sagittarius bringing some humor in the face of this madness.  Look for the Sagittarian traits of wit, irony and sarcasm as coping tools for any despondency you may experience.  The best possible outcome of this aspect is to attain a collective lowering of aspirations to make them more reasonable and manageable. 

Another astrological factor in our favor is that Saturn stationed direct on September 18, 2019, which is very helpful for helping us to create some new structures and boundaries in our lives.  On that day I tweeted:
On September 23, 2019 the sun enters the air sign of Libra and the fall season officially begins.  When the sun is in Libra, there is more of a focus on finding balance and harmony in relationships.  Libra is associated with tact, diplomacy, sociability, tolerance and an interest in style, which may lead us to some spending sprees. But we need to be aware that the shadow side of Libra involves a tendency to be self-serving, indecisive, passive aggressive and superficial. It will definitely be more challenging to make decisions because Libra is renowned for weighing (sometimes endlessly) both sides of a situation. And we could wind up giving too much in relationships because Libra is a well-known people pleaser.  So the Libra sun transit is definitely all about finding a measure of balance in relationships.

Neptune in Pisces will take another hit on September 24, 2019 when it receives an irritating inconjunct from Mercury in Libra.  Miscommunications could run rampant and we need to be mindful not to deliver more than we can deliver with this aspect.  Inconjuncts always require some kind of adjustment and this one involves being honest with ourselves in order to translate the truth.

An Action Packed Week with an Ultra-Sensitive Full Moon in Pisces, Mercury and Venus Moving into Libra and Saturn Stationing Direct




We are headed into a very active week astrologically.  It starts on September 14, 2019 on the east coast of the United States with a full moon in 21 degrees of Pisces at 12:33 a.m.  Pisces is probably the most sensitive of all the water signs, but this full moon is even more sensitive due to its conjunction to its ruling planet Neptune in 17 degrees of Pisces.  Emotions will come to a head and we can expect a great deal of feeling, compassion, creativity and psychic sensitivity. Pay attention to your intuition on this full moon with its conjunction to Neptune.  It holds the promise of being a very inspirational and idealistic full moon.

Neptune has been extremely active and disruptive in its own right during the past week.  On September 7, 2019, Mercury in Virgo opposed Neptune in Pisces, inspiring me to tweet:
And on September 10, 2019, the Virgo sun opposed Neptune in Pisces.  On that day I tweeted:

There is a lot of other activity going on with this full moon.  In addition to the sun and moon in Virgo, Mars, Mercury and Venus are all in Virgo for the full moon.  The sun is actually conjunct Mars, which can be pretty volatile energy, but it can be used constructively to be proactive, inspiring us to take the initiative and manifest our desires.  There are strong themes of compassion and service to others with all of this Virgo energy.  We have eight planets in earth signs; in addition to the Virgo planets, we have Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, and Uranus in Taurus, which is a lot of practical energy. Saturn in Capricorn is trining the sun and Mars in Virgo, which is an extremely favorable influence for manifesting long-term goals. Uranus in Taurus is actually unaspected during this full moon, so Uranus is running on a full tank in terms of its disruptive potential though.  We also have Mercury in Virgo conjunct Venus in 29 degrees of Virgo squaring Jupiter in Sagittarius and opposing Neptune in Pisces, so we may have to be careful to speak gently and diplomatically with this configuration.  We don’t want to wind up saying anything we regret later on.  But the fact that all of these Virgo planets, accompanied by the moon and Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Sagittarius, lends a great deal of mutable energy which helps us to embrace and enjoy the changes that are inevitable. With Mars in 17 degrees of Virgo, we also need to be aware that anyone with planets in 14 to 17 degrees of the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces will probably feel driven to be of compassionate service to others.  I’m sure that I will be feeling this energy acutely with my moon in 14 degrees of Gemini.  Don’t be surprised if some secrets are revealed with the full moon conjunct Neptune in Pisces and with the ongoing Jupiter/Neptune square, set to be exact on September 21st, these secrets could pertain to legal matters.

Mercury moves into Libra at 3:14 a.m. on September 14, 2019 and it remains in Libra until October 3, 2019.  Mercury in Libra brings a diplomatic, friendly and rational approach to communications. It is a fabulous opportunity for healing rifts in relationships because when Mercury is transiting the sign of Libra we are inclined to engage in people pleasing and we have the ability to consider other points of view and make fair decisions.  The shadow side of Mercury in Libra is that we can have a tendency to vacillate, have difficulty in making decisions and accommodate others too easily.

Venus is right behind Mercury and enters Libra at 9:43 a.m. on September 14, 2019 and stays in Libra until October 8, 2019. Venus is right at home in Libra because it rules both Libra and Taurus.  When Venus is transiting Libra, love is in the air, and we tend to be polite, more cooperative in relationships, charming and idealistic.  We are also more apt to crave the latest fashion styles and luxury items.  But the shadow side of Venus in Libra is the tendency to be superficial, dependent and inconsistent.

On September 18, 2019, Saturn stations direct in 13 degrees of Capricorn. Saturn has been retrograde since April 29, 2019, which may seem like an eternity for many of us.  If you have felt like certain projects have been stalled, Saturn in direct motion will bring some forward movement in these areas.  The pace will really pick up, especially around September 28th when Saturn is 2 degrees away from the south node of the moon in Capricorn, which will bring up issues of responsibility and working hard.  If you have been responsible and working hard for the past few months, you will start to reap the rewards of your efforts. Material success and recognition may be forthcoming in the next couple of months.  But don’t forget that Saturn is the Great Teacher and the Lord of Karma, so if you have been slacking off, Saturn can bring down some form of retribution for lack of efforts.  Saturn brings you what you deserve and have earned, so be mindful of that and if you need to change course, learn that lesson.

Neptune and Jupiter Take Some Hits from the Virgo Posse and Reality Gets Blurred



I know that with the Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Venus in the earth sign of Virgo, we should be feeling more grounded, but the first couple of weeks of September have strong themes of misinterpretation, betrayal and deception running rampant. Reality is definitely going to get quite blurred. How could this be?  Chalk it up to the fact that they will all be squaring Jupiter in Sagittarius during this period and opposing Neptune in Pisces.  And we have been under the influence of a Jupiter/Neptune square for most of 2019.  The next exact hit will occur on September 21, 2019 in 17 degrees of their respective signs. By early October we should be free of this disruptive and confusing influence.


Venus in Virgo has already been acting up.  On September 2, 2019, Venus in Virgo squared Jupiter in Sagittarius, inspiring me to tweet:
A couple of days later on September 4, 2019, we experienced Venus in 17 degrees of Virgo opposing Neptune in 17 degrees of Pisces and I tweeted:
Mercury in 15 degrees of Virgo is squaring Jupiter in 15 degrees of Sagittarius on September 6th and it opposes Neptune in 17 degrees of Pisces on September 7, 2019. With Mercury squaring Jupiter, we may be talking really big plans that don’t have a firm foundation.  Mercury opposing Neptune on the following day can lead to lies, misunderstandings and general confusion.  It’s really a good idea to hold off on making any major decisions at this time if you can.

On September 8, 2019 we also have the sun in 15 degrees of Virgo squaring Jupiter in 15 degrees of Sagittarius.  This aspect can play out as things looking better than they are and it will be incredibly easy to slip up.  The truth can be somewhat distorted and we need to make a conscious effort to be clear in our directions and instructions because Neptune is retrograde.

Retrograde Neptune in Pisces takes a hit on September 10, 2019 when it is opposed by the sun in 17 degrees of Virgo.  This aspect can tend to do a number on our self-confidence by erosion or dissolving (a key Neptune word).  I’d also like to mention here that anyone who has a birthday on September 10th (give or take five days) is experiencing Neptune opposing their sun, so don’t be too alarmed if you feel like you are doubting yourself.  This too shall pass.

And now for Mars in Virgo.  Mars in 15 degrees of Virgo will be squaring Jupiter in 15 degrees of Sagittarius on September 12, 2019.  This is pretty forceful and high octane energy, but we need to be mindful of the fact that it can make us greedy and lose control.  Mars in 17 degrees of Virgo will be opposing Neptune in 17 degrees of Pisces on September 14, 2019 when we have a full moon in 21 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect can manifest in feelings of discouragement, weakness and inadequacy.  Self-deception can really be out greatest enemy at this time.

The bottom line with this lineup of Virgo planets squaring Jupiter in Sagittarius and opposing Neptune in Pisces is that our plans are getting a major reality check.  We may endure some pain during this process but it is also an opportunity for growth.  But Saturn in Capricorn is actually helping us with this process because it receives beneficial trines from Venus in Virgo on September 1st, Mercury in Virgo on September 5th, the sun in Virgo on September 6th, and Mars in Virgo on September 9th.  Hold onto that thought and acknowledge that Mars trining Saturn can be instrumental in making any project that we undertake a success if we manage to stay centered, calm and persevere amid the chaos of the squares and oppositions to Jupiter and Neptune.
