This week’s headline items:<\/strong>\u00a0On Monday\u00a0afternoon, Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase in Libra, and in the evening, the New Moon in Virgo becomes exact; Venus changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Friday late afternoon; from Saturday late morning on,\u00a0it’s time to start taking actions on our New Moon intentions; and on Sunday early morning, the Sun squares the degree of June 10th’s Solar Eclipse.<\/p>\nThere will be three\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>\u00a0phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for almost 8 hours); Thursday night\/Friday very early morning (for a little over 1 hour); and Sunday very early morning (for 3 hours).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As most of you already know from last week’s blog, Monday, Sept. 6th around 4pm EDT,<\/strong> Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase\u00a0when it reaches 10\u00ba 08\u2019 of\u00a0<\/em>Libra.<\/strong>\u00a0This is 3 weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts\u00a0on\u00a0Sept 27th).<\/p>\n Use these three weeks wisely!\u00a0Prepare for\u00a0<\/strong>Mercury\u2019s pre-Shadow phase in\u00a0Libra<\/strong><\/em>\u2026 last chance to watch: \u201cMercury\u2019s pre-Shadow phase Sept. 2021<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 to see how this relates to your own Birth Chart\u2026 and it is currently on SALE!<\/p>\n ==><\/strong>\u00a0To purchase this webinar,\u00a0click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Monday <\/strong>is\u00a0a big day!!!\u00a0The Moon remains in <\/em>detail-oriented, practical<\/em> Virgo<\/strong> all day. <\/strong>It will journey there until Tuesday late evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday morning, <\/strong>a harmonious Mars\/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 8:20am EDT.<\/em> We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Wednesday evening <\/strong>(Sept. 1st) on; and it will remain strong until this Friday evening <\/strong>(Sept. 10th). <\/strong>This aspect brings a powerful ability to pursue and accomplish our objectives. We are able to see more clearly where we are heading and where we want to commit.<\/p>\n Our vitality and energy levels are at a high point. We are most likely feeling ambitious and dynamic right now. Our recuperative powers are excellent and our health is robust. We might feel inspired to build up our physical strength during this astrological influence, and this is a good idea — we can develop greater endurance and vitality now, which will rejuvenate our body.<\/p>\n This is definitely a strong energy for steady, practical, down-to-earth work on a project. It is also quite a sexy combination. As best as you can, leverage this powerful mixture of energies to go after the things you have been wanting for a while now… and as Pluto is involved, use it all to fulfill on your Soul’s purpose.<\/p>\n Anything that we feel deeply passionate about and that feels in complete alignment with our deepest core, is very likely part of our Soul’s journey. What moves you? What turns you on? Not just on a physical level but also on an emotional and spiritual level? If you had all the resources that you needed, what might you choose to manifest?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-28 degrees 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 Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0(Mars being the ruler of Aries; Pluto rules Scorpio)<\/em><\/p>\n Also on Monday morning, <\/strong>a harmonious Venus\/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 9:05am EDT.<\/em> We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening <\/strong>(Sept. 3rd) on; and it will remain strong until this Wednesday <\/strong>(Sept. 8th).\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect brings a good dose of optimism, faith and a sense of the “bigger picture” to our relationships and finances.<\/p>\n We tend to relate to others in a positive (even inspiring) manner; as you can imagine, it is thus much easier to make social contacts. This could also be a lazy and self-indulgent time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Our outlook is cheerful and hopeful, the atmosphere cooperative. Integrity and loyalty are favored; it’s a great time for winning people’s trust.\u00a0 We are more open and trusting with friends, partners and collaborators. We might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: What opportunities are opening up to me at this time? What connections might bring about expansion? What if I asked \u201cwho\u201d as well as \u201chow\u201d?<\/p>\n Financially<\/strong>, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us.<\/p>\n There are indeed plenty of opportunities to be had, financial and otherwise, especially in connection with collaborative projects, community projects,\u00a0political endeavors, or endeavors that require justice or a just cause \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n The thing to watch out for<\/b> is the feeling that we don’t have to actually do anything to “cash in”<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 22-28 degrees of\u00a0 Libra, Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Monday evening, at 8:52pm EDT<\/strong>,\u00a0the\u00a0Moon aligns with the Sun\u00a0in 14.5 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Virgo<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle.\u00a0We started to feel the effects of this New Moon the moment the Moon entered\u00a0Virgo on Sunday evening<\/b> (Sept. 5th).\u00a0Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n This New Moon<\/i>\u00a0has an abundance of planets in\u00a0<\/i>Earth & Air signs:<\/i><\/b>\u00a0the Moon, the Sun, and Mars in Virgo<\/b>, Pluto in Capricorn<\/b>, and Uranus in Taurus <\/b>(all planets in Earth Signs) and then Mercury and Venus in Libra<\/b>, Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius<\/b>, and the North Node in Gemini <\/b>(Air Signs).<\/p>\n The element of Earth<\/b> deals with the physical reality of things and usually requires a practical approach. The Air<\/b> element deals with the mental level; usually we have the ability to look at what\u2019s ideal and how we might create it through connection with others. This means that our focus will be on those things for the next four weeks<\/b> \u2014 on both the individual and collective levels.<\/p>\n I will talk more about this in connection with the planetary aspects of this New Moon chart, but first let’s look at the\u00a0Virgo<\/b>\u00a0energy of this New Moon:<\/p>\n Virgo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0provides an opportunity to learn about being of service — and what it might mean to strengthen our focus on improving our daily routines — getting organized, for example — and taking care of health matters.<\/p>\n A great way to step into the higher vibrations of\u00a0Virgo<\/b>: recognize, as best as you can, that humility, self-improvement, and being of service bring you closer to your inner divinity and your Soul’s path.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/b>\u00a0How could I, as a Spirit-being, operate more efficiently in the physical world? Might tweaking my daily routines help me function better in the physical world? Might that also support me in being of service? What benefits might I reap if I could better discern between the essential and the redundant?<\/p>\n This New Moon cycle will thus be a great time to begin… To read the whole article and<\/em> get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s\u00a0New\u00a0Moon, click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 12-17 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Sagittarius<\/i><\/b>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Cancer<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/i><\/p>\n The New Moon is also the best time to\u00a0set some powerful intentions<\/i> for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely\u00a0not\u00a0during a\u00a0Moon void of course\u00a0phase<\/a>.<\/p>\n So this month<\/b>, the\u00a0best and most potent time to set intentions<\/i>\u00a0would be\u00a0between 8:52pm <\/b>Monday evening (Sept. 6th) <\/b>and 3:24pm <\/b>Tuesday afternoon (Sept. 7th)<\/b>; and then again from 11:20pm on Sept. 7th until 8:52pm on <\/b>Wednesday, Sept. 8th<\/b>\u00a0(New York-time).<\/p>\n Monday late evening, <\/strong>a harmonious Sun\/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:29pm EDT.<\/em> \u00a0We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening <\/strong>(Sept. 3rd) on; and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening<\/strong> (Sept. 9th). This aspect connects us to a strong energy field — physical and metaphysical.<\/p>\n We feel alive,\u00a0want to create a better future for ourselves and others on a very practical level, and are excited to do it. Watch out for messages from the Universe \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Originality and innovation come easy to us, as does connection with like-minded people. We can celebrate (and leverage) our idealism and unorthodox approaches to life’s challenges. Ask yourself: What if I expressed what I uniquely valued without apologies? What if I did it with authenticity and enthusiasm?<\/p>\n How might sudden ideas spark activities that feel in alignment with my personal values? And, looking at things from a different angle: What might be possible on a practical level with a bigger network of like-minded people?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 11-18 degrees of\u00a0 Virgo, Taurus<\/strong>, or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>? If so, you will feel more blessed by this planetary connection than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Also on Monday late evening<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Mars\/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:50pm EDT.<\/em> We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday late evening <\/strong>(Sept. 5th) on; and it will remain strong until Tuesday late evening.\u00a0<\/strong>We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make adjustments \u00a0— first though, we must develop an inner awareness of what exactly needs adjusting.<\/p>\n We come to realize that we might have become overly enthusiastic and optimistic. What’s more, our drive for a collective cause\u00a0is actually leaving us feeling drained and frustrated, while\u00a0at the same time, we harbor a strong desire to improve our daily health regimes and the data that supports those improved routines.<\/p>\n It will help us manage both these energies if we\u00a0look more closely at how we use our own energy: simply put, are\u00a0we in tune with our physical body? Are we making healthy decisions?<\/p>\n Ask yourself: Could I connect and collaborate with my communities and still find time to improve my own health or work routines?<\/p>\n Am I being too impulsive or impatient? Restless? What might it look like if I focused my energies towards being of Service?<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worthwhile to examine how our personal belief systems impact our communities and networks or vice versa.\u00a0Can we stay open to\u00a0new philosophies that are held collectively — and to what they offer us? And perhaps also toward our desire to further expand\u00a0our visions for humanity?<\/p>\n Ignoring conflict will not serve us now, nor will\u00a0being overly analytical or critical of ourselves or others; as best as you can, slow down and stay tuned in to your physical body.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: Is doing more, necessarily better? How might \u201cdoing too much\u201d impact my well-being? Where might I be bringing an attitude that doesn’t serve my physical and mental well-being? (A good place to “aim” this question is toward the “collective bigger picture”)<\/p>\n Here’s another question you may find helpful: If I check against my direct experience, how do collective assumptions or “stories”\u00a0impact my physical and mental well-being?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-26 degrees of\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>? Do you have an Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius?\u00a0<\/strong>If so, you will be…<\/em><\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? <\/strong>Scroll down & keep reading (make sure you are logged into your\u00a0Member’s account<\/a>)!<\/p>\n GET IT ALL!

If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter rules Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in\u00a0detail-oriented, practical<\/em> Virgo until 11:20pm EDT.<\/strong> This\u00a0turns 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 also come 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 Tuesday<\/strong> before 3:24pm<\/strong> <\/b>or<\/em> after 11:20pm EDT<\/strong>: <\/b>If you haven’t set your New Moon Intentions<\/i> yet, there is still time! You have until 8:52pm EDT tomorrow (Wednesday). <\/b>If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video \u2014 feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore \u2014 click here<\/b> to watch my video on the New Moon in Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more info <\/strong>on how to best set your New Moon Intentions<\/em>, click here<\/b> to read my article on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n Tuesday at 3:24pm EDT,<\/strong> we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for almost 8 hours,\u00a0until 11:20pm EDT. <\/strong>Use this intuitive time\u00a0to connect with people who can support you in making those work or health improvements that you’ve been meaning to get to. Make well-being your goal!<\/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 afternoon until very late evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Tuesday at 11:20pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into <\/em>harmony-loving, balance-seeking<\/em> Libra, <\/strong>where it will journey until very early morning Friday<\/strong>. The energy of the Libra<\/strong> 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 <\/p>\n Wednesday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking<\/em> Libra all day <\/strong>(see Tuesday very late evening for details).\u00a0If you haven’t set your New Moon Intentions<\/i> yet<\/strong>, there is still time! You have until 8:52pm EDT today<\/b> (Wednesday).<\/p>\n If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video \u2014 feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore ==> click here<\/b> to watch my video on the New Moon in Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more info <\/strong>on how to best set your New Moon Intentions<\/em>, click here<\/b> to read my article on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n Wednesday very early morning,<\/strong> a Mercury\/Chiron opposition\u00a0becomes exact at 12:30am EDT.<\/em> We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening <\/strong>(Sept 5th) on; and it will remain strong until this Friday evening. <\/strong>We\u00a0can balance our ability to think and speak justly with any wounding and insecurity around the masculine energies (asserting ourselves, going after something, or being actively engaged with life and others).<\/p>\n This aspect may play out in a relationship, with each of you living out one side of the equation. We may experience guilt or shame around something we said or didn’t say.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: How might we be able to support each other on our individual healing journeys?\u00a0Could I allow others to share something with me that might contribute to a more holistic exploration of my \u201cpersona\u201d? How about vice versa? Could I share something with others that might contribute to a more holistic exploration of someone else\u2019s persona, identity or personal goals?<\/p>\n If you feel triggered by someone else (or vice versa), as best as you can, direct compassion and kindness towards both of you.\u00a0Ask yourself: Is this connected to my past and\/or upbringing? What if this were an opportunity to embrace my wounded inner child with love and kindness?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in degrees of 8-15 Libra, Aries, Capricorn,<\/strong> or\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday evening, <\/strong>we are invited to connect with others one-on-one, and seek to have a balanced experience whenever possible. What if you communicated from a fair and collaborative standpoint? What if you listened with the intention of creating win-wins?\u00a0(Moon\u00a0conjuncts Mercury in Libra<\/b>, exact at 9:01pm EDT<\/em>)<\/p>\n Wednesday night<\/strong>\/Thursday very early morning, calls for some inner adjustments, as we feel uneasy or awkward, and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, we want to innovate in the area of our values (and maybe also have some financial breakthroughs); on the other hand, the feel the need to attend to our one-on-one relationships, supporting them (and perhaps collaborating). (Moon in Libra <\/strong>quincunxes Uranus in Taurus<\/strong>, exact Thursday at 12:11am EDT)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday, <\/strong>the Moon remains<\/em> in harmony-loving, balance-seeking<\/em> Libra<\/strong> all day <\/strong>(see Tuesday very late evening for details).<\/p>\n Thursday late morning\/early afternoon<\/strong>, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to connect with others, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet? (Moon in Libra<\/strong> quincunxes Neptune in Pisces<\/strong>, exact at 12:28pm EDT)<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Thursday late afternoon, <\/strong>we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.(Moon in Libra <\/strong>squares Pluto in Capricorn<\/strong>, exact at 4:48pm EDT)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday early evening, <\/strong>we get a chance to connect with like-minded people, expand each other’s minds, and collaborate in a way that allows us to see the bigger picture.\u00a0<\/span>(Moon in Libra<\/strong> trines Jupiter in Aquarius<\/strong>, exact at 5:03pm EDT)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday night\/<\/strong>Friday very early morning, at 12:48am EDT,<\/strong> we enter a brief\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for a little over 1 hour,\u00a0until 2:05am EDT<\/strong>. <\/em>If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to connect with others one-on-one, and seek to have a balanced experience whenever possible.
