We’re looking at the week beginning 2 September 2007. The Moon forms the Third Quarter on the 4th. Continue to harvest your hard work until the 4th. From that point on, begin to release those things that are no longer useful for your continuing journey in the next lunar cycle.

Theme transits this week: Venus continues to be retrograde until the week’s end, and just like last week it opposes Neptune. Venus retrograde is fairly rare, and it signals a time for moving inward with relationship matters. This isn’t a prime time to push into new territories in relationships. Venus and Neptune can create either an idealistic, rapturous feeling about relationship, or it can foster unrealistic impressions and expectations. It’s critical to monitor communications in relationships right now, and to avoid projecting fantasies onto partners. Fortunately we have supportive aspects from Pluto: looking inward with meditation and contemplation can reveal relationship blocks that we can dissolve.

The Sun continues to square Jupiter and Mars. This combination continues to create the environment for physical growth, health, development, and positive work. Take advantage of this opportunity by pushing into new work areas and by beginning or continuing a program of positive health maintenance. As the week goes on we pick up the Sun opposing Uranus.

With the continued Jupiter influence, this time is potentially profitable for speculation and for very novel work. Think about some brainstorming sessions. The major risk is experiencing too much tension from rapidly shifting circumstances.

Mercury squares Pluto until toward the end of the week, pushing us into intense communication and deep thinking. The major risk is in aggressive communication or creating power plays through communication - or you may experience this energy from others.

The week’s net: Continue to take advantage of the favorable prospects in business and communication work this week to advance your goals. There’s the potential for physical healing, growth, and progress, so take advantage by working with your body in positive ways. Watch out for miscommunication in relationship, and don’t let your fantasies about love drag you down.

On the 2nd we start the week with the Moon trining Mercury and forming a T-Square with the Moon and Neptune. A study in contrasts: Moon / Mercury is usually excellent at communication with loved ones. Normally Moon and Venus is warm, flowing emotion - but the addition of Neptune can create a desire for unrealism or fantasy projection that can derail real relationship. Alcohol and drugs are unpredictable and risky at this time. The positive side of Neptune is the desire for intense meditative and contemplative experiences. Focus on the inward and enjoy your time with those you love.

3 Sep:  The Moon opposes Jupiter, conjoins Mars, and prepares for the Third Quarter tomorrow. The energy shifts dramatically to positive, dynamic relationships in business and worldly insight. Avoid argument and you’ll do great.

4 Sep:  Today’s the Third Quarter, and the Moon continues to conjoin Mars. This should be a warm, dynamic, flowing time, with the accent on physical relationship and on business.
 
5 Sep: The Moon squares Mercury today, creating the environment for increased communication. Otherwise, the energies are softer and less dynamic than over the past few days.
 
6 Sep: The Moon sextiles the Sun today. Take advantage of warm emotional relationships with those you love.

7 Sep:  The Moon sextiles Mercury today. The communication work you began several days ago may surface again in a positive way.

8 Sep: The Moon closes the week by conjoining Venus and opposing Neptune. Similar to the energies we felt on the 2nd, we may again experience the desire for inner work, and the risk of fantasy overwhelming reality in relationship. Alcohol and drugs are unpredictable and risky at this time. Inner meditation can be profoundly beneficial.

We’re looking at the week beginning 9 September 2007. The Moon is New on the 11th. Until that time focus on releasing things you no longer need. Clear the decks for major new work to begin with the powerful configurations we have this week. Launch your new goals on the New Moon.

Theme transits this week: Venus is finally direct again, but just like last week it opposes Neptune. Venus and Neptune can create either an idealistic, rapturous feeling about relationship, or it can foster unrealistic impressions and expectations. It’s critical to monitor communications in relationships right now, and to avoid projecting fantasies onto partners.

The Sun moves into an extremely powerful T-Square configuration with Mars and Pluto as the week progresses. At the beginning of the week our Sun square Jupiter begins to lose influence: this has created an environment conducive to positive physical growth, health, and development. The new configuration is much stronger, much more stressful, and potentially a bit explosive. Sun and Mars is always very positive for physical work, health, and achievement. But Sun and Pluto form a combination that intensifies this work with laser-like intensity into something that delves deep into problems, smashing them along the way. There are two major downsides. The configuration can be very hard on the physical body: the will is so strong that it pushes the body into situations that are far too stressful to handle well. Burnout is a possibility - especially when we consider the Uranus configuration at the same time pushing us into novel, potentially difficult situations. The other problem is that intense argument, conflict, and power plays erupt whenever the Sun and Pluto combine. This is potentially a tremendously good problem-solving time. Breakthroughs can occur which can catapult you over limitations. The downside is pushing yourself far too hard, and of conflict with others.

The week’s net: Be cautious in pursuing your goals, especially when your attempts bring you into conflict with others. Properly modulated these energies can burn through obstacles with amazing power, so take careful aim at things you want to work on and push - but carefully. Watch out for miscommunication in relationship, and don’t let your fantasies about love drag you down.

On the 9th we start the week with the Moon conjoining Saturn and making a wide opposition to Neptune.  Moon and Saturn always present emotional limitations and hang-ups. Combined with Neptune there can be miscommunication or illusions in relationships that cause problems. The cure is care. Be cautious in communicating with others today, and avoid situations where misconceptions might color your feelings in a negative way.

10 Sep:  The Moon prepares for the New Moon tomorrow, but is relatively quiet today. Relax just a bit.

11 Sep:  Today’s the New Moon. Both Sun and Moon are fully involved with the Mars/Pluto T-Square, and Uranus is close enough to inject real energy. This is an incredibly powerful - even revolutionary - configuration. Starting this lunar cycle you should prepare for major work, for some intense effort - and plan in some downtime to avoid burnout. Emotions can ride a bit strong, so temper your communications to avoid causing conflict with others.

12 Sep: The Moon conjoins Mercury today, creating the environment for increased communication. Otherwise, the energies are softer and less dynamic than over the past few days.
 
13 Sep: The Moon continues to conjoin Mercury today, and both sextile Venus and Jupiter. This is favorable energy for communication, both in business affairs and in personal relationships.

14 Sep:  The Moon sextiles Pluto and trines Mars today. This takes a bit of the edge off the week-long T-Square. It may be a favorable time to bring others into your new projects.

15 Sep: The Moon closes the week with very few aspects. Take a breather from an intense week!

We’re looking at the week beginning 16 September 2007. The Moon forms the First Quarter on the 19th. This is an incredlbly high energy lunar cycle, and it's time to evaluate work on the First Quarter. Press forward with as much drive as you can to achieve your aims this cycle.

Theme transits this week: Venus is finally direct again, but just like last week it continues to oppose Neptune. Venus and Neptune can create either an idealistic, rapturous feeling about relationship, or it can foster unrealistic impressions and expectations. It’s critical to monitor communications in relationships right now, and to avoid projecting fantasies onto partners.

The Sun continues with the extremely powerful T-Square configuration with Mars and Pluto we first experienced last week. This configuration is very stronger, much more stressful, and potentially a bit explosive. Sun and Mars is always very positive for physical work, health, and achievement. But Sun and Pluto form a combination that intensifies this work with laser-like intensity into something that delves deep into problems, smashing them along the way. There are two major downsides. The configuration can be very hard on the physical body: the will is so strong that it pushes the body into situations that are far too stressful to handle well. Burnout is a possibility. The other problem is that intense argument, conflict, and power plays erupt whenever the Sun and Pluto combine. This is potentially a tremendously good problem-solving time. Breakthroughs can occur which can catapult you over limitations. The downside is pushing yourself far too hard, and of conflict with others.

Jupiter squares Uranus all week, and for the first part of the week we continue the Venus trine Jupiter and sextile Mercury. This is a favorable period for speculation, opening communication - particularly about art and relationship. The cosmic roller coaster injects novelty - a bit of mutation - into how we communicate and relate with others.

The week’s net: This is the same advice as last week's. Be cautious in pursuing your goals, especially when your attempts bring you into conflict with others. Properly modulated these energies can burn through obstacles with amazing power, so take careful aim at things you want to work on and push - but carefully. Watch out for miscommunication in relationship, and don’t let your fantasies about love drag you down.

On the 16th we start the week with the Moon forming a T-Square with Venus and Neptune. There can be miscommunication or illusions in relationships that cause problems. The cure is care. Be cautious in communicating with others today, and avoid situations where misconceptions might color your feelings in a negative way. On the upside, this is a great time for inner work: explore your inner landscape and seek guidance within.

17 Sep:  The Moon squares Saturn today, taking us from yesterday’s idealism and illusion to cold, hard reality in relationships. This contact is always a bit of a downer, so keep your perspective.

18 Sep: The Moon moves to conjoin Jupiter today, and it squares Uranus. Moon and Jupiter are good in combination, so expect yesterday’s pale reality to open a bit. Spend time with those you care about. Uranus injects the new, so explore sides of your partner that you don’t often cultivate.

19 Sep: Today’s the First Quarter. and the Moon conjoins Pluto. This is an incredibly powerful - even revolutionary - configuration. Evaluate the work you began on the New Moon and make needed adjustments. Significant power plays can arise today, so keep your perspective and avoid conflict with others. Continue your major work, your intense effort - and plan in some downtime to avoid burnout. Emotions can ride a bit strong, so temper your communications to avoid causing conflict with others.
 
20 Sep: The Moon moves off of all major aspects today, so take a breather from the week’s intensity.

21 Sep:  The Moon squares Mercury today, putting the accent on communication. Take care that emotional biases don’t intrude into business communication.

22 Sep: The Moon closes the week with a trine to the Sun. This is a warm, lovely way to end the week, so enjoy your time with those you care about, and take some down time from the week.

We’re looking at the week beginning 23 September 2007. The Moon is Full on the 26th. Until that time, press on with your projects for the lunar cycle. On the Full Moon, assess what you’ve accomplished and begin to harvest the fruits of your labors.

Theme transits this week: Venus is finally direct again, but just like last week it continues to oppose Neptune. Venus and Neptune can create either an idealistic, rapturous feeling about relationship, or it can foster unrealistic impressions and expectations. It’s critical to monitor communications in relationships right now, and to avoid projecting fantasies onto partners.

The Sun continues in the extremely powerful T-Square configuration with Mars and Pluto we experienced the past two weeks. This configuration is very strong, highly stressful, and potentially a bit explosive. Sun and Mars combine positively for physical work, health, and achievement. But Sun and Pluto form a combination that intensifies this work with laser-like intensity into something that delves deep into problems, smashing them along the way. There are two major downsides. The configuration can be very hard on the physical body: the will is so strong that it pushes the body into situations that are far too stressful to handle well. Burnout is a possibility. The other problem is that intense argument, conflict, and power plays erupt whenever the Sun and Pluto combine. This is potentially a tremendously good problem-solving time. Breakthroughs can occur which can catapult you over limitations. The downside is pushing yourself far too hard, and of conflict with others. By week’s end this configuration begins to fade, so expect the overall pressure to diminish as the week goes on.
Jupiter continues to square Uranus all week. This is a favorable period for speculation.

The week’s net: This is fundamentally the same advice as last week’s. Be cautious in pursuing your goals, especially when your attempts bring you into conflict with others. Properly modulated these energies can burn through obstacles with amazing power, so take careful aim at things you want to work on and push - but carefully. As the week moves on expect the pressures to lessen somewhat. Continue to watch for miscommunication in relationship, and don’t let your fantasies about love drag you down.

On the 23rd we start the week with the Moon conjoining Neptune and squaring Venus. There can be miscommunication or illusions in relationships that cause problems. The cure is care. Be cautious in communicating with others today, and avoid situations where misconceptions might color your feelings in a negative way. On the upside, this is a great time for inner work: explore your inner landscape and seek guidance within.

Today’s and tomorrow’s upside is a trine from Venus to Pluto with Mercury sextiling both Venus and Pluto. This should help diminish the tendency to miscommunication, and can create the setting for real progress in understanding others. Continue to weigh your words carefully.

24 Sep:  The Moon opposes Saturn today and forms a Kite by trining Mercury and Mars. Often Moon and Saturn can bring us down to earth in relationships. The Kite configuration, however, encourages us to push deeply in relationship. This is highly favorable for in-depth communications with others, especially in business.

25 Sep: The Moon moves to conjoin Uranus today, and it squares Jupiter. Moon and Jupiter are good in combination, so expect yesterday’s pale reality to open a bit. Spend time with those you care about. Uranus injects the new, so explore sides of your partner that you don’t often cultivate.

26 Sep: Today’s the Full Moon, and the Moon forms a Grand Square with Mars and  Pluto. This is an incredibly powerful - even revolutionary - configuration. This is a highly stressful time, and conflicts can arise in personal and business relationships. Burnout is highly possible, so evaluate your energy use. Plan some downtime, even if your schedule is completely packed. Significant power plays can arise today, so keep your perspective and avoid conflict with others.
 
27 Sep: The Moon moves off of yesterday’s intensity to form a trine to Jupiter and a sextile to Neptune. Both are easy, supportive aspects. Take time off for an imaginative journey and play.

28 Sep:  The Moon opposes Mercury today, and forms easy aspects with Mars, Saturn, and Pluto. The accent is on communication, and there’s real support for work in business and for relationships at home. Negotiations and analyses are supported right now.

29 Sep: The Moon closes the week with a T-Square to Venus and to Neptune. Moon/Venus is normally warm and delightful in relationship. With Neptune involved we run the risk of projecting fantasies onto our partners in relationship. Miscommunication or illusion can be a real challenge. Stay grounded, and avoid alcohol and drugs. On the up-side, this configuration is great for inner work and meditation.

We’re looking at the week beginning 30 September 2007. The Moon forms the Third Quarter on the 3rd. It’s time to harvest your efforts from the first half of the lunar cycle. After the Third Quarter begin to release those things that are unimportant to you for your next cycle of life.\

Theme transits this week: Venus leaves its long-lasting opposition to Neptune by mid-week. This is the configuration that can create either an idealistic, rapturous feeling about relationship, or it can foster unrealistic impressions and expectations. As Venus moves out of the orb of influence, we should see improved communications and clarity in our close relationships.

While Mars continues to oppose Pluto this week, the Sun is no longer in contact with these two energetic powerhouses. The pressure to achieve and potential control trips that we’ve been feeling should now diminish. The ongoing opposition between Mars and Pluto can produce considerable tension and striving. In a positive light, this configuration pushes forward on difficult missions and penetrates opaque problems and situations. Breakthroughs can occur which can catapult you over limitations. The downside is pushing yourself far too hard, and of conflict with others.

Jupiter continues to square Uranus all week, and the Sun applies to a sextile to Jupiter starting mid-week. This continues to be favorable period for speculation and for physical development and growth.

Saturn sextiles both Mercury and Mars this week, and Mercury and Mars trine each other. This is highly favorable for hard work in business and in the world. Not a flashy time, Saturn and Mercury focus on applied, practical mental work, while Mars and Saturn promote detailed physical achievement. Keep up your efforts to attain your goals.

The week’s net: We can expect considerably less stress and pressure this week than we experienced last week. The potential for conflict with others is still there, but should be less troublesome than the last few weeks. Enjoy improved communication in relationship, and spend time to support your body. Lastly, the energies are ripe for positive hard work in business and for resulting achievements in the physical world.

On the 30th we start the week with the Moon squaring Saturn. Saturn makes us confront reality in our emotional and family life. There can be a depressing side to this contact, so keep your perspective; this clears tomorrow.

1 Oct:  The exact opposite of yesterday’s somber energies, the Moon opposes Jupiter and squares Uranus today. Moon and Jupiter are good in combination, so expect yesterday’s pale reality to open a bit. Spend time with those you care about. Uranus injects the new, so explore sides of your partner that you don’t often cultivate.

2 Oct: The Moon moves to conjoin Mars and to oppose Pluto today, and it sextiles Saturn and trines Mercury. This can be a stressful time in emotional relationships with the possibility of unwanted power plays. The upside is considerable. With the Saturn and Mercury configurations, it’s time to apply yourself with all of your emotional power to your tasks and goals. Hard work yields success with favorable Saturn configurations, so keep up your efforts.

3 Oct: Today’s the Third Quarter, and it’s time to begin to release things that are no longer important to you. Both the Sun and Moon receive favorable aspects from Uranus and Jupiter, respectively. This should be a period of opening to the unexpected and to achievements that you’ve worked for.
 
4 Oct: The Moon moves off of yesterday’s intensity to form no significant aspects today. Relax a bit and unwind.

5 Oct:  The Moon squares Mercury today, and forms easy aspects with the Sun and Jupiter. The accent is on communication, and there’s real support for work in business and for relationships at home.

6 Oct: The Moon closes the week coming to a conjunction with Venus and an opposition to Neptune. Moon/Venus is normally warm and delightful in relationship. With Neptune involved we run the risk of projecting fantasies onto our partners in relationship. Miscommunication or illusion can be a real challenge. Stay grounded, and avoid alcohol and drugs. On the up-side, this configuration is great for inner work and meditation.
