Dear Readers, the end of Summer, a turning point in our lives, change is in the air, hopefully for only the best!
As we approach the Fall Season we are once again reminded that change is forever constant. Just as nature sheds its older roots, so do we as humans. The purification process then begins. The orderly chaos of planetary changes, the retrogrades and the Sun in Virgo in opposition to transiting Neptune can be hectic. And to add to all this confusion, as we approach Mercury retrograde, we may begin to feel out of sorts as it creates mercurial distractions through speech, and everyday mental interaction. In addition, Uranus, the planet of unpredictability conjunct the North Node at odds with Saturn can create major upheavals with the stock market and/or, businesses, as well as personal relationships. If you are a Scorpio, Taurus, or Leo, expect the unexpected! Though at some point int he game, we’re all affected…
PISCES FULL MOON – September 10- Pisces is known to be the most spiritual, imaginative, sensitive sign of the zodiac, and each year as the Sun transits this feeling-oriented water sign, it’s time to tap into your creative self. Everyone has at least a little bit of the inventor/designer in them! Follow your intuition, pursue your dreams, and watch the magic begin! Those most affected by this Full Moon are Cancer, Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius, and Gemini. Though much of this relates to where it falls into your birth chart based on your time of birth.
MERCURY RETROGRADE SEPTEMBER 10 – UNTIL OCTOBER 2, 2022 – As thoughts, communications and short journeys continue a funky groove during Mercury retrograde, breakdowns, slippery stumbles and misunderstandings can be experienced. In this tricky cycle, we’re encouraged to step back and to pay attention… as we’re going to bump right back into some old forgotten memories, unresolved situations, and someone who we lost contact with, or rehashing issues from the past.  . Those born under Virgo and Gemini are most affected since Mercury is your ruling planet. Retrograding in Libra, partnerships, work, and play can become disruptive. When Mercury is in retrograde, we are provided with time to catch up to ourselves, to reflect, to rethink and shed light on matters from the past that need our attention. It’s a period of complete contemplation. Much, however, depends on where it is taking place in your own individual birth chart.
NEW MOON IN LIBRA – September 25 – The New Moon in Libra provides us with the opportunity to start a fresh, a new cycle for planting the seeds of good intentions. The New Moon in the sign of Libra, the archetypal sign of balance, harmony and partnerships brings forth a sense of clearing. Letting go and freeing ourselves up enough to make the necessary changes in life. Over the next few weeks or so the New Moon brings forth a need to learn, to unite with others who share our heart’s desire. This period in our lives involves new techniques, balancing new perspectives/angles and obtaining harmony within our ideals. Its harmonious balance with the transiting planets creates a nice vortex or platform to work from. However, those born under Cancer, Capricorn and Aries may feel a sense of unrest. Although wherever these planets land in your birth chart with also be affected. Nonetheless, A New Moon provides a fresh start for many of us. Use it wisely.
SATURN RETROGRADE – until October 23 – Businesses, personal connections are affected. This can be an exceedingly difficult transit as Saturn, ruled by Capricorn, transiting in Aquarius can create unpredictable unrest in various areas. Specifically, with regards to financial concerns, the stock market, as well as small businesses. Those born under Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Taurus can feel the intensity. For others, based on times of birth can be a determining factor
JUPITER RETROGRADE -continues until November 23- For most Sagittarius – ruled by Jupiter, you may feel the bumps. For those born under Aries, feeling out of sorts, as it may diminish your fire. However, when in retrograde, pull back, reflect, take stock, and then move forward. Moving forward November 23, just in time for the holidays!Â
SUN IN LIBRA September 23 – The Sun’s entrance into the diplomatic, Air sign of Libra marks the Autumnal Equinox, a time when day and night are equal in length — fitting for a sign that champions fairness and equality! Libra folks are the peacemakers of the zodiac and are known for thinking of others’ needs as much as (if not more than) theirs; these are people who will go the extra mile to help! You have a special opportunity to strengthen your relationships during this 30-day solar period, so if you wish to create more harmony in your life, try to meet people halfway.Â
