We’re looking at the week beginning 3 September. The Moon is approaching Full on the 7th. Give your work an extra push and prepare to start harvesting your rewards after the 7th.

Theme transits this week: There are several planetary configurations that last most all week. The first we’ve seen for a long time now: Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune form a T-square. The  Jupiter/Saturn cycle has strong business and societal implications: we’re coming down to earth from being overly inflated. Jupiter/Saturn asks us to re-evaluate our relationship to our material possessions and our overall expectations about the world. It’s gaining a philosophy of life from experience. Experience may not be glamorous or exciting, but it’s vital to stay grounded.

Saturn opposed Neptune can be problematic. Saturn wants to create structure, to define the world. Neptune wants us to attain the transcendent. Combining these two we find ourselves groping for structure that we want and need but that we can’t quite grasp - or wanting to escape from stifling structure that we don’t need. Physically the energies are taxing to the body, so be sure to get great nutrition and plenty of rest.

Jupiter square Neptune is a strange mixture of the mystical and the foolhardy. At its highest level Jupiter / Neptune is the opening to the transcendent and to profound mystical experience. Its lower manifestations, though, expose us to illusions and fantasies that can become delusive. The influences of drugs and alcohol magnify, as do risks in speculation.

Fortunately all the faster moving planets are away from this T-square. We’ll see some effects when the Moon goes past on the 5th, but things should be smoother sailing than we’ve experienced for the past few weeks.

Sun in Virgo oppose Uranus in Pisces all week. The week starts off with Mercury involved with Uranus, too. Sun/Uranus is physical excitement and change – and the possibility of accident or rash action. Mercury/Uranus is energized thinking – possibly brilliance leading to breakthrough – or just a bit of nuttiness. Only you can decide which direction you go. Just play safely!

Mars in Virgo squares Pluto in Sagittarius all week, too. We continue intense activity with extreme dedication to a task – or to being subject to the power of others. Obsession can be a problem as can argument. Avoid accident and excessive risk-taking.

On the 3rd we start the week with the Moon in Capricorn trining Sun and Mercury and sextiling Uranus, which opens us to exciting emotional adventures. It’s a great day to take some time and enjoy relationships.

4 Sep: The Moon sextiles Mars, providing an energy boost. It’s a good time to connect with family and to get a bit physical.  
  
5 Sep: Today’s where the week’s fireworks begin. The moon moves into Aquarius to impact the T-Square with Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune. Moon/Jupiter is normally expansive and loving, but there are real challenges with Saturn and Neptune. Saturn forces us to analyze our relationships, and can be a bit of a downer. The Saturn and Neptune push-pull comes into play: emotionally we want our ideal vision, but physically we see reality all too well. Keep your perspective; avoid confrontation.

Mercury begins to pull away from its Sun and Uranus contacts. This should ease the mental activity and stress a bit.

6 Sep: The Moon in Aquarius makes a quick opposition to Venus today, which puts the accent back on contacts with others and on artistic work. 

7 Sep: The Moon moves on to conjoin Uranus in Pisces and to oppose the Sun - the Full Moon in Virgo/Pisces. This is dynamic, with lots of communication and physical energy. Emotions should come to life again - perhaps a bit spasmodically or uncertainly. Expect a few surprises emotionally, and open to relationships - and avoid making sudden demands on those you love. Give yourself some breathing room to avoid excessive stress and avoid argument.

8 Sep: The Moon in Aires picks up oppositions both to Mars and to Mercury and squares Pluto in Sagittarius. Emotional energy continues to be intense, with the possibility of obsessive behavior and control issue in relationships. Back off just a bit. Avoid arguments and verbal confrontations.

9 Sep:  The week ends with the Moon trining Saturn and sextiling Neptune, taking the stress of the T-square we’ve been living with. This is a take-a-breather configuration. That’s particularly important because Mercury and the Sun are getting close to a conjunction with Mars next week - all square Pluto.

We’re looking at the week beginning 10 September. The Moon is approaching the Third Quarter in Sagittarius on the 14th. It’s time to harvest what you’ve begun during this lunar cycle.
 
Theme transits this week: There are several planetary configurations that last most all week. The first we’ve seen for months now: Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune form a T-square. The Jupiter/Saturn cycle has strong business and societal implications: we’re coming down to earth from being overly inflated. Jupiter/Saturn asks us to re-evaluate our relationship to our material possessions and our overall expectations about the world. It’s gaining a philosophy of life from experience. Experience may not be glamorous or exciting, but it’s vital to stay grounded.

Saturn opposed Neptune can be problematic. Saturn wants to create structure, to define the world. Neptune wants us to attain the transcendent. Combining these two we find ourselves groping for structure that we want and need but that we can’t quite grasp - or wanting to escape from stifling structure that we don’t need. Physically the energies are taxing to the body, so be sure to get great nutrition and plenty of rest.

Jupiter square Neptune is a strange mixture of the mystical and the foolhardy. At its highest level Jupiter / Neptune is the opening to the transcendent and to profound mystical experience. Its lower manifestations, though, expose us to illusions and fantasies that can become delusive. The influences of drugs and alcohol magnify, as do risks in speculation.

Fortunately all the faster moving planets are away from this T-square. We’ll see some emotional effects on the 11th when the Moon forms a Grand Square.

Mercury conjoins Mars all this week, combining physical energy and mental drive. It’s an excellent time for mental work. Early in the week the conjunction is square Pluto, adding an obsessive drive to communication. Arguments and control issues are paramount early in the week.

Venus opposes Uranus most all week combining the desire for connection with others with the yearning for the new. Potentially exciting and stimulating in relationship, Venus / Uranus can create problems with a desire for escape from structure and the tried-and-true. Open to new art, cultural experiences, and novelty in relationships.

On the 10th we start the week with the Moon in Aries forming a Grand Trine with Saturn and Pluto, fostering emotional stability and intensity. 

11 Sep: The Moon forms a Grand Square with the Jupiter / Saturn / Neptune T-Square. Moon/Jupiter is normally expansive and loving, but there are real challenges with Saturn and Neptune. Saturn forces us to analyze our relationships, and can be a bit of a downer. The Saturn and Neptune push-pull comes into play: emotionally we want our ideal vision, but physically we see reality all too well. Keep your perspective; avoid confrontation.

12 Sep: The Moon moves past yesterday’s intensity to trine the Mercury/Mars conjunction. Today is prime time to turn yesterday’s confusion and conflict into positive time spent in relationship and in renewing communications that may have been strained yesterday.

13 Sep: The Moon in Gemini forms a T-Square with this week’s Venus/Uranus opposition. The emotional roller coaster should be in full swing today. If you can catch the roller coaster going up to novel experiences and fun, enjoy the ride with those you love. If it’s headed back down into more uneasy emotional territory, hold on and remember the configuration eases tomorrow.

14 Sep: The Moon moves on to form another T-Square today, this time with the Sun and Pluto. It’s the Moon’s Third Quarter, marking the switch from harvesting the results of your work during this lunar cycle and moving into the phase of releasing what you no longer need. The Sun/Pluto combination accents extreme work and energy - and also opens to the possibility of obsessive or risky behavior, argument or confrontation. Take advantage of the Moon/Saturn sextile today to ground yourself rather than flying off the handle.

15 Sep: The Moon in Cancer squares the Mercury/Mars combination, relaxing the obsessive energy we felt yesterday and opening us to an easier, more communicative emotional experience. During the day the Moon will also complete a Kite, with a Grand Trine between Jupiter and Uranus, and the Kite’s backbone, Venus/Uranus. This is potentially wonderful energy emotionally, and could give us the chance to integrate what we’ve learned from all the T-Square conflicts we’ve experienced this week. Open to novel artistic and relationship contacts.

16 Sep:  The week ends with the Moon trining the Sun, giving us the chance to rest and recuperate. Enjoy time with those you love.

We’re looking at the week beginning 17 September. The Moon is approaching the New Moon is very late Virgo on the 22nd, just before the Autumnal Equinox. Now it’s time to release those things you no longer need and prepare to launch into new work with the New Moon.

Theme transits this week: There are several planetary configurations that last most all week. The first we’ve seen for months now: Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune form a T-square. The Jupiter/Saturn cycle has strong business and societal implications: we’re coming down to earth from being overly inflated. Jupiter/Saturn asks us to re-evaluate our relationship to our material possessions and our overall expectations about the world. It’s gaining a philosophy of life from experience. Experience may not be glamorous or exciting, but it’s vital to stay grounded.

Saturn opposed Neptune can be problematic. Saturn wants to create structure, to define the world. Neptune wants us to attain the transcendent. Combining these two we find ourselves groping for structure that we want and need but that we can’t quite grasp - or wanting to escape from stifling structure that we don’t need. Physically the energies are taxing to the body, so be sure to get great nutrition and plenty of rest.

Jupiter square Neptune is a strange mixture of the mystical and the foolhardy. At its highest level Jupiter / Neptune is the opening to the transcendent and to profound mystical experience. Its lower manifestations, though, expose us to illusions and fantasies that can become delusive. The influences of drugs and alcohol magnify, as do risks in speculation.

Fortunately all the faster moving planets are away from this T-square. We’ll see some emotional effects on the 18th and 19th when the Moon conjoins Saturn.

Mercury conjoins Mars at the beginning of the week, combining physical energy and mental drive. It’s an excellent time for mental work.

The Sun continues to square Pluto until the 23rd. Sun / Pluto is intense physical work and drive to accomplish large goals. It can promote power struggles and arguments, too, so a soft approach is usually best. If you’re on the receiving end of someone else’s power trips, keep your perspective. There’s always a potential for accident or for physical strain or injury, so play just a bit easier than usual to avoid problems.

On the 17th we start the week with the Moon in Aries forming a sextile to Mercury and Mars. This energizes communication in relationship and brings emotions to the fore. We continue to feel the Venus / Uranus opposition that started last week - this puts the accent on the novel and the unusual in relationship - and can be a bit of an emotional roller coaster. We’ll feel this until the 20th,

18 Sep: The Moon conjoins Saturn, putting the accent on the Jupiter / Saturn / Neptune T-Square. Moon/Jupiter is normally expansive and loving, but there are real challenges with Saturn and Neptune. Saturn forces us to analyze our relationships, and can be a bit of a downer. The Saturn and Neptune push-pull comes into play: emotionally we want our ideal vision, but physically we see reality all too well. Keep your perspective; avoid confrontation.

19 Sep: The Moon moves past yesterday’s intensity though we will continue to feel some emotional constriction through the day.

20 Sep: The Moon in Gemini conjoins Venus and opposes Uranus today. The emotional roller coaster should be at full throttle. If you can catch the roller coaster going up to novel experiences and fun, enjoy the ride with those you love. If it’s headed back down into more uneasy emotional territory, hold on and remember the configuration eases tomorrow.

21 Sep: The Moon moves on to approach the Sun - for the New Moon in Virgo square Pluto. As we noted in the themes for the week, the Sun/Pluto combination accents extreme work and energy - and also opens to the possibility of obsessive or risky behavior, argument or confrontation.

Venus squares Pluto beginning today through the week’s end, which combines the desire for connection with others with the deep drives and obsessions for control. for the new. Potentially passionate, Venus / Pluto can create problems over control issues in relationship and obsessive or extreme behavior. The arts are always accented, and real artistic ability can flourish.

22 Sep: The Moon in Libra moves to conjoin the Mercury/Mars combination, relaxing the obsessive energy we felt yesterday and opening us to an easier, more communicative emotional experience. Avoid argument and too much pressure on those you love.

23 Sep: The week ends with the Moon just past the Mercury/Mars conjunction and sextiling Saturn and trining Neptune. It’s time to take a breather and do a little meditation on the harvest time - a time to bring the cycle of life to the close and to think of our blessings. Enjoy time with those you love.

We’re looking at the week beginning 24 September. It’s just after the New Moon in late Virgo; the Moon will form the First Quarter at week’s end. It’s time to kick off those projects you want to achieve in this next lunar cycle.   

Theme transits this week: There are several planetary configurations that last most all week. The first we’ve seen for months now: Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune form a T-square. The Jupiter/Saturn cycle has strong business and societal implications: we’re coming down to earth from being overly inflated. Jupiter/Saturn asks us to re-evaluate our relationship to our material possessions and our overall expectations about the world. It’s gaining a philosophy of life from experience. Experience may not be glamorous or exciting, but it’s vital to stay grounded.

Saturn opposed Neptune can be problematic. Saturn wants to create structure, to define the world. Neptune wants us to attain the transcendent. Combining these two we find ourselves groping for structure that we want and need but that we can’t quite grasp - or wanting to escape from stifling structure that we don’t need. Physically the energies are taxing to the body, so be sure to get great nutrition and plenty of rest.

Jupiter square Neptune is a strange mixture of the mystical and the foolhardy. At its highest level Jupiter / Neptune is the opening to the transcendent and to profound mystical experience. Its lower manifestations, though, expose us to illusions and fantasies that can become delusive. The influences of drugs and alcohol magnify, as do risks in speculation.

Fortunately all the faster moving planets are away from this T-square. We’ll see some emotional effects on the 18th and 19th when the Moon conjoins Saturn.
Mercury conjoins Mars at the beginning of the week, combining physical energy and mental drive. It’s an excellent time for mental work.

Venus continues to square Pluto until the week’s end. Venus / Pluto is intense desire to connect with others - possibly approaching an obsession. It can be a passionate, fun time, but watch out for control issues: both yours and those with whom you’re close. Avoid power plays. Work with the arts is particularly positive right now: explore a new aesthetic. 

On the 24th we start the week with the Moon in Libra just after conjoining Mercury. The Moon sextiles Saturn and Pluto. These are subtle influences: they may feel like a solidification of your feelings toward others, and an increase in intense feelings.
A trine from Mercury to Neptune promotes spiritual thinking and inner development: take advantage of this for the next three days with added meditation and inner work.

25 Sep:  The Moon gets closer to Jupiter today, but we’ll feel the real fireworks tomorrow. A trine to Uranus should provide emotional spice and liveliness.
Mars trines Neptune today putting the accent on spiritual development and the refinement of the physical body. Explore yoga, tai chi, and breathing. We’ll feel this through week’s end.

26 Sep: The Moon conjoins Jupiter, putting the accent on the Jupiter / Saturn / Neptune T-Square. Moon/Jupiter is normally expansive and loving, but there are real challenges with Saturn and Neptune. Saturn forces us to analyze our relationships, and can be a bit of a downer. The Saturn and Neptune push-pull comes into play: emotionally we want our ideal vision, but physically we see reality all too well. Keep your perspective; avoid confrontation.

27 Sep: The Moon in Sagittarius sextiles the Sun and Venus, providing a quiet day after yesterday’s intensity. Take a breather.

28 Sep: The Moon moves on to approach Pluto today, and we’ll feel this tomorrow. There’s the possibility for emotional control issues and obsessive behavior to surface - keep your perspective. Tomorrow this aspect intensifies.

29 Sep: The Moon in Sagittarius continues to conjoin Pluto and it now squares Venus as well. This redoubles the emphasis on intensity in relationship and continues the possibility for obsessive or compulsive behavior. Keep your wits about you. If you stay clear, the Pluto aspect can create profoundly moving positive emotional and sexual experiences. If not, a small atom bomb could go off...

30 Sep:  The week ends with the Moon squaring Sun and Mars. The day continues to be intense emotionally with the potential for argument or conflict. Stay balanced and you can transmute this energy to energize and vitalize your relationships - and it can be physical fun, too!

We’re looking at the week beginning 1 October. It’s just after the First Quarter; the Moon will be Full by week’s end. Now’s the time to push on your projects, to fertilize the start you made at the New Moon with renewed efforts.

Theme transits this week: There are several planetary configurations that last most all week. The first we’ve seen for months now: Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune form a T-square. The Jupiter/Saturn cycle has strong business and societal implications: we’re coming down to earth from being overly inflated. Jupiter/Saturn asks us to re-evaluate our relationship to our material possessions and our overall expectations about the world. It’s gaining a philosophy of life from experience. Experience may not be glamorous or exciting, but it’s vital to stay grounded.

Saturn opposed Neptune can be problematic. Saturn wants to create structure, to define the world. Neptune wants us to attain the transcendent. Combining these two we find ourselves groping for structure that we want and need but that we can’t quite grasp - or wanting to escape from stifling structure that we don’t need. Physically the energies are taxing to the body, so be sure to get great nutrition and plenty of rest.

Jupiter square Neptune is a strange mixture of the mystical and the foolhardy. At its highest level Jupiter / Neptune is the opening to the transcendent and to profound mystical experience. Its lower manifestations, though, expose us to illusions and fantasies that can become delusive. The influences of drugs and alcohol magnify, as do risks in speculation.

Fortunately all the faster moving planets are away from this T-square. We’ll see some emotional effects on the 3rd when the Moon conjoins Neptune.

Another plus is that  Mars now trines Neptune and sextiles Saturn all week. This physical energy support helps mute the uncertainty and lack of drive that the T-Square creates and enables us to ground ourselves with concrete action. It’s highly favorable to focus on inner work: meditation and gentle physical movement designed to ground  and to support the body. As the week progresses the Sun and Venus combine with Mars to increase this support and grounding – and to enable positive relationship changes.

On the 1st we start the week with the Moon in Capricorn squaring Mercury. Normally this can create communication issues when emotions creep in, but Mercury also sextiles Pluto, providing real insight. Take care with relationships, but it can be a good time to probe more deeply to learn more about your partner.

2 Oct:  The Moon gets closer to Neptune today, but we’ll feel the real fireworks tomorrow. Fortunately the trine from Mars to Neptune helps by  putting the accent on spiritual development and the refinement of the physical body. Explore yoga, tai chi, and breathing. We’ll feel this through week’s end.

3 Oct: The Moon conjoins Neptune, putting the accent on the Jupiter / Saturn / Neptune T-Square. Moon/Jupiter is normally expansive and loving, but there are real challenges with Saturn and Neptune. Saturn forces us to analyze our relationships, and can be a bit of a downer. The Saturn and Neptune push-pull comes into play: emotionally we want our ideal vision, but physically we see reality all too well. Keep your perspective; avoid confrontation.
Fortunately we have support from Mars trine Moon and Neptune and sextile Saturn. Mars provides us additional physical energy to transmute the uncertainty and mixed messages of the T-Square and to help us ground ourselves in concrete action.

4 Oct: The Moon in Pisces conjoins Uranus today. Expect some unsettled emotional states: possibly upset or surprises. Keep your cool and remember that this lasts but one day.

5 Oct: The Moon moves on to square Pluto today. There’s the possibility for emotional control issues and obsessive behavior to surface - keep your perspective. 

6 Oct: The Moon in Aries approaches Full, and it opposes the conjunction of Venus, the Sun, and Mars. This is powerful stuff emotionally. While you may see some sparks fly, I suspect this configuration can be a real chance to warm a relationship and to create new, powerful connections with your partner.

7 Oct:  We’re still feeling yesterday’s opposition of the Moon with Mars. The day continues to be intense emotionally with the potential for argument or conflict. Stay balanced and you can transmute this energy to energize and vitalize your relationships - and it can be physical fun, too!
