Equinox and Libra New Moon Sept 2011: Throttle Up

You will never truly know yourself or the strength of your relationships until both have been tested by adversity. J. K Rowling, Author 

Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration. Khalil Gibran, Poet, Artist, Author (1883-1931)

The change of seasons is upon us as the Sun moves into the Cardinal sign of Libra on the 22nd before midnight in Hawaii, and the 23rd for the rest of the world. Approximately 5 days later, the Moon catches up with the Sun on September 27th, activating the Libra New Moon energies for the ensuing 2 weeks.

Equinox or Solstice days serve as theme builders for the ensuing season. Dependent on the potency of that day’s chart, the season will unfold somewhere between a flowing and heightened state. 

This particular version is not as intense as the last Equinox (heightened), however, it does continue the Uranus/Pluto square in Aries and Capricorn, respectively, initiated last March. 

This on-going theme in effect through 2015 of “change and dissolving” underscores the turmoil and new initiatives seen throughout the world. Hence, in the coming season, look for more destabilizing and reorganizational shifts in the Capricorn realm of law, rules, finance, politics and organized structure. Adding the qualities of Uranus in Aries to the mix, look for unexpected opportunities for shifting your life in a new direction. In any event, this coming season ought to make for a very interesting time on Planet Earth.

Pisces Full Moon Sept 2011: Manifesting Heaven & Earth

Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the Universe. For example, there are no solids in the Universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid.There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces.There are no straight lines. R. Buckminster Fuller US architect & engineer (1895 - 1983)

What is your dream of Heaven on Earth? Dream it and be it. Create it now.

This month, the Sun in detailed oriented Virgo illuminates the Full Moon in empathic, dreamy, unstructured Pisces at 19 degrees, close to midnight on the 11th in Hawaii, and on September 12, 2011 for the rest of the world. 

As Moon meets Ceres in Pisces, and opposes the Sun & Venus in Virgo, there is added emphasis this 2 week lunation on the feminine aspects of nurturing (Ceres) and artistic creation (Venus).

Powerful manifestation aspects continue in September with other planetary patterns in a Grand Earth Trine. This energetic pattern began just days before the Virgo New Moon. We will continue that juicy discussion here. 

The three Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. In general, Earth signs represent the tangible world: our bodies, our homes, health, wealth and business. Further, creation and manifestation intentions are amplified this month with this powerful Grand Earth Trine (see chart below).

(1) Jupiter in Taurus - expansion of earthly delights and pleasure
(2) Pluto in Capricorn - intense transformation of financial matters, rules and governments
(3) Mercury in Virgo - communicate and articulate details of this expansion & overhaul

"I want to know all things under the Sun and the Moon too. For all things are beautiful in themselves and become more beautiful when known to man. Knowledge is life with wings." Kahlil Gibran

Sunday August 28, 2011 (Mon 8/29 for South America, east to the International Date Line) celebrates the Virgo New Moon.  Moon conjoins Sun at 5 degrees Virgo, with Venus close by at 8 Virgo.  Virgo evokes patterns, organization and order. Add Venus to the mix and you have a strong element of artistry and beauty in these grand designs. 

There is a Grand Earth Trine this New Moon (see below), with 5 planets represented in the Earth signs of Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus. Pluto(1) lingers near 4 Capricorn and Jupiter (2) is its expansive self at 10 Taurus. Meanwhile, Sun, Moon and Venus (3) in Virgo complete the triangle.
