Freedom and Individuality — Forecast for Sept. 10th – 16th<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This week’s headline items: <\/strong>Mars reenters Aquarius on Monday evening. There is still time to set our New Moon Intentions for most of Monday, and on Tuesday before 2pm EDT. Jupiter squares the Solar Eclipse degree of Aug.11th on Tuesday early morning. Saturn’s Station phase ends on Thursday, while Mars’ ends on Friday and Pluto’s begins on Sunday. The First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

There will be four Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week<\/strong>: Monday late morning (for 8 minutes), Tuesday evening (for a little over 19 hours), Friday early morning (for almost 16 hours), and Sunday evening (for almost 12 hours).<\/p>\n

Monday (Sept. 10th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical\u00a0Virg<\/strong>o<\/strong><\/em> until 11:20am EDT<\/strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time\/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.<\/p>\n

Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<\/p>\n

Monday early morning,<\/strong> a somewhat challenging Venus\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:16am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening on (Sept.8th), it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening.\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We may feel uneasy or insecure in our relationships — and be faced with a choice — we must develop an inner awareness if we are to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, this could make social interactions somewhat awkward; as best as you can, connect with kindness towards all (including yourself \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We may also have a hard time making financial decisions that feel satisfactory. As best as you can, bring a good dose of compassion and understanding to yourself and embrace your own humanity as much as possible… and remember: like everything else, this is only temporary \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-2 degrees of Scorpio<\/strong>, Aries, <\/strong>or 29 degrees of Libra <\/strong>or Pisces<\/strong>? Or perhaps your\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus<\/strong> or Libra<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.<\/em><\/p>\n

Monday at 11:12am EDT,<\/strong> we enter a brief\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that last for 8 minutes, until 11:20am EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway — or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Also on Monday, before 11:12am, and after 11:20am EDT,<\/strong>\u00a0you still have time to set your New Moon Intentions for this month — if you haven’t already done so on Sunday afternoon or evening.\u00a0If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video \u2014 feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore \u2014\u00a0click here to watch my video on the New Moon<\/a>\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Monday at 11:20am EDT,<\/strong> the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon.<\/strong> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<\/p>\n

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.<\/p>\n

We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” \ud83d\ude09 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<\/p>\n

Monday at 8:56pm EDT,<\/strong> Mars reenters freedom-loving, forward-thinking\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0– <\/em>due to its retrograde motion this summer, it already spent some time in that sign between May 16th and August 12th. \u00a0This time it will remain in Aquarius\u00a0until Nov. 15th<\/strong>. Think back to the time Mars spent in\u00a0Aquarius earlier this year: What projects have been waiting to move forward? What actions call to you now?<\/p>\n

When Mars travels through Aquarius<\/strong>, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself “How could I surprise the “old me” today?”\u00a0\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Mental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian<\/strong> ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality — our own\u00a0and\u00a0that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships — and we are not easily pushed around. It’s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<\/p>\n

In general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others — not in an aggressive way, though… more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less “special” than you, put your hand over your heart and ask “what would my heart say to this?”<\/p>\n

If you have an Aries<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel…<\/em><\/p>\n

…more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an Aquarius<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8 weeks<\/strong>. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tuesday (Sept. 11th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Monday late morning for details).<\/p>\n

Tuesday until 2pm EDT:<\/strong>\u00a0If you haven’t gotten around to it yet,\u00a0set your Intentions\u00a0for this Moon cycle<\/em>… If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video \u2014 feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore \u2014\u00a0click here to watch my video on the New Moon<\/a>\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Tuesday around 5:45am EDT,\u00a0<\/strong>Jupiter squares the degree of Aug 11th’s Solar Eclipse —\u00a0<\/em>this provides a cosmic nudge forward. What intentions did you set at the time of the Solar Eclipse in August? What would move that forward?<\/p>\n

Observe how this plays out for you today, and ask yourself: What am I looking to let go of? What needs to change? What adjustments or creative solutions might clear the way for me to move forward powerfully with an open heart?<\/p>\n

Tuesday morning<\/strong>, an opportune Sun\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 8:10am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Saturday evening (Sept. 8th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday evening.\u00a0<\/strong>We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides — it’s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence.\u00a0In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident — and inner optimism can bring rewards.<\/p>\n

Humor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh wholeheartedly, and we see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships — whether personal or business.<\/p>\n

Imagine you have a special lens which showed you the “bigger picture”… What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-21 degrees of Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn<\/strong>, or Pisces<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n

Tuesday late morning,<\/strong> a harmonious Sun\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:31am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (Sept. 8th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening.\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of “what works and what doesn’t”, we can make more powerful choices.<\/p>\n

We can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything — even people — that no longer connect with who we are.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Would I be willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of\u00a0Virgo, Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)<\/em><\/p>\n

Tuesday at 6:58pm EDT,<\/strong> we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that last for a little over 19 hours, until 2:15pm EDT (Wednesday afternoon<\/strong>). Use this intuitive time to\u00a0make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what you want to build long-term.<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday evening until Wednesday afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Wednesday (Sept. 12th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> until 2:15pm EDT<\/strong> (see Monday late morning for details).<\/p>\n

Wednesday very early morning,<\/strong> a long-term, opportune Jupiter\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 3:55am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sept. 1st on, it will remain strong until Sept. 19th.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>This is the third time this year we will experience this aspect — think back to January and May of this year, when it occurred as well: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?<\/p>\n

A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people’s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday early morning<\/strong>, a Venus\/Uranus opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 5:02am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday night (Sept. 7th) on, it will remain strong until this Sunday evening (Sept. 16th).\u00a0<\/strong>This opposition calls us to balance “togetherness” with “having our space”.<\/p>\n

We may find that we disagree with others. We may be restless, even anxious, and therefore feel pressure to act (and react) impulsively towards others — or towards our finances. Try your best not to put all your money on a horse, just because it has a funny name, or elope with a random hottie \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

We could also be caught off-guard somehow, so stay open-minded and flexible. Do not get a facelift or any kind of beauty treatment that has the potential to go horribly wrong. I’m not kidding.<\/p>\n

If there were a way to fully express our individuality in our relationships, without needing to pull or push away… what might that way be?\u00a0Could you shake things up a little, without being oppositional or offensive?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo<\/strong>,\u00a0Aquarius,<\/strong> or 29 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra <\/strong>or Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)<\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday at 2:15pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Friday late evening. <\/strong>We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.<\/p>\n

The Moon in Scorpio<\/strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.<\/p>\n

Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can thus be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.<\/p>\n

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<\/p>\n

Wednesday very late evening<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:58pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Sunday (Sept. 9th) on, it will remain strong until this Saturday evening (Sept. 15th).\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values and financial affairs: We are more able to get to the bottom of what needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for how we are handling things.<\/p>\n

On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments in other people’s resources. There’s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly — do the “due diligence”. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to “take” it.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)<\/em><\/p>\n

Thursday (Sept. 13th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Thursday early afternoon,<\/strong> an opportune Mars\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:35pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sept. 4th on, it will remain strong until Sept. 20th.\u00a0<\/strong>This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.<\/p>\n

This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini<\/strong>, Sagittarius,<\/strong> or 28-29 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus<\/strong>, or Scorpio<\/strong>? If so,\u00a0you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> (Mars rules Aries)<\/em><\/p>\n

Thursday late evening<\/strong>, a Mercury\/Neptune opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 9:31pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Wednesday on, it will remain strong until Saturday.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>This connection is asking us to balance logic and intuition (left vs right brain). On the one hand, we have strong intuitive connections… on the other, the struggle to focus could lead to confusion or wishful thinking.<\/p>\n

We are more inclined to daydreaming, fantasizing and imagining things; this can lead to some frustrating communications. As best as you can, use this aspect to create spiritual connections — or something beautiful, imaginative or inspiring to others.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-18 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this opposition quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0 Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n

Also on Thursday<\/strong>, Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky,\u00a0ending its station.\u00a0<\/em>Over the last five months –\u00a0since April 17th –<\/strong>\u00a0we\u2019ve done a lot of internal work on our life structures, responsibilities, and commitments, we now have a chance to apply this to the outside world.<\/p>\n

What has\u00a0come up in the last two weeks around our\u00a0commitment to long-term goals and the need to be seen as a mature citizen of the world?<\/p>\n

Capricorns, Aquarians<\/strong> (whether by Sun-sign or Ascendent) and people with personal planets in 0-5 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries,<\/strong> or Libra<\/strong> will feel a particularly strong sense of relief as Saturn goes direct and resumes\u00a0its regular speed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday (Sept. 14th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> all day until 8:45pm EDT<\/strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Friday at 4:54am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that last for almost 16 hours, until 8:45pm EDT<\/strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect and go deeper — and perhaps also to take a look at our daily routines to see how empowering they are for us and our intimate relationships.<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday early morning until the evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Friday at 8:45pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until next week, Monday morning<\/strong>. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.<\/p>\n

We tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, this means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday evening)<\/p>\n

Also, if you set your New Moon Intentions<\/em> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, soon after the New Moon became exact, Friday evening after 8:45pm EDT,<\/strong> will be a great time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn\u2019t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to you?<\/p>\n

Saturday (Sept. 15th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday late evening for details).<\/p>\n

Saturday late evening,<\/strong> a harmonious Mercury\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 10:54pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until next week Monday afternoon (Sept 17th).\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Our words and our “speaking” are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time.\u00a0Our conviction and passion helps us to connect\u00a0and empower others.<\/p>\n

We are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a016-22\u00a0degrees of\u00a0Virgo, Capricorn<\/strong> or\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong>, or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n

Also on Saturday<\/strong>, Mars resumes its normal pace through the sky<\/em>, ending its station<\/em>\u00a0in 1 degree of Aquarius<\/strong>.<\/em> What has\u00a0come up over the last four weeks around “doing” and pursuing”? What beliefs do you have about the “masculine” that no longer serve you? Or perhaps around any actions or goals connected with long-term achievements or honoring our individual vision for life? Now is a good time to address it all and move forward…<\/p>\n

Sunday (Sept. 16th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday late evening for details).<\/p>\n

Sunday morning<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 7:51am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday afternoon on, it will remain strong until next week Monday afternoon (Sept.17th).\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism — we share what’s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.<\/p>\n

This connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more “philosophical” and open to learning.<\/p>\n

Again, as with any opportunity, we have to “take” it — it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-22 degrees of\u00a0Virgo, Scorpio, Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday at 7:15pm EDT<\/strong>, the first Quarter Moon in 24 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. We started to feel this from the moment the Moon entered Sagittarius on Friday evening.<\/strong> The Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in detail-oriented, practical, service-oriented Virgo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We feel compelled to take action. Last week saw the New Moon, on Sept. 9th. If we began a project or initiative around then, it is probably off the ground by now — and facing its first obstacles. This is thus a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum.\u00a0We may feel anxious or unusually busy. As best as you can, take it one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible and find creative solutions in your day-to-day interactions with others.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-26 degrees of <\/i>Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini<\/i><\/b> or <\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in<\/i> Leo<\/i><\/b> or<\/i> Cancer<\/i><\/b> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/i><\/p>\n

Also on Sunday at 7:15pm EDT,<\/strong> we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that last for almost 12 hours, until 7:07am EDT (Monday morning)<\/strong>.\u00a0Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.<\/p>\n

Make space to thoroughly organize your daily or health routines, and to explore beyond your day-to-day environment;\u00a0as always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>\u00a0avoid\u00a0starting anything brand-new. It’s best to\u00a0stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday evening until Monday morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Also on Sunday<\/strong>, Pluto starts to slow down (station), preparing to come to a halt on Sept. 22nd in almost 19 degrees of Capricorn —\u00a0<\/strong>after its 5-month retrograde phase.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0This makes its energy more exalted in the sky for the next 4 weeks…\u00a0until Oct. 12th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us — and this can sometimes cause\u00a0discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy has picked up speed again (around Oct. 9th).<\/p>\n

Pluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of\u00a0empowerment — our ability to\u00a0feel\u00a0empowered\u00a0from within, through the experience of wholeness — and to our deepest passions.<\/p>\n

It is also associated with transformation, for example, our ability to transform darkness into light or “death” into “rebirth”. Those terms don’t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.<\/p>\n

To get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new — something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose.<\/p>\n

When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity — and\u00a0feel\u00a0a newness and\u00a0empowerment\u00a0from within.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is “in your face”\u00a0for the next 4 weeks.\u00a0Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul’s purpose (your deep authentic Self) — especially in relation to long-term goals and your standing in society.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling\u00a0fully\u00a0empowered\u00a0from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it\u00a0feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of\u00a0Capricorn, Aries, Cancer<\/strong> or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>? If so, you will\u00a0feel\u00a0this station more strongly.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n

A heads-up for next Monday (Sept. 17th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> and Moon VoC<\/a> until 7:07am EDT<\/strong>.
