As we approach the Solar Eclipse at 29º Virgo on Sept 21, we are being propelled into a new reality, as events unfold rapidly with dramatic effects for the collective. If you have planets or points activated by this Eclipse, you’ll likely feel it in your personal life, yet none of us are untouched. This is a turning point that is reshaping our world; via both its purpose and its power.
Sept 19-Oct 13 – Venus is in analytical Virgo, craving order, alignment (as in Feng Shui), focusing on details, creative skills or any improvement that will enhance your quality of life. Venus in Virgo will be of service in practical ways. Relationships may be under the microscope and you may recognize a limiting pattern you want to shift, in order to create a course correction that will allow you and your relationship to evolve and grow.
Sept 20 – Venus square Uranus. You may be at the effect of a curveball or you make an unexpected change that catches others off guard. The square indicates the abrupt nature of the change, even if you are the one making it. If you’ve felt stifled, you may have an urgent impulse to break out of a rut, a box or your usual Venusian life (relationships, style, creativity, social connections). To utilize this energy deliberately, do something to express your Authentic Self and Inner Free Spirit that will liberate you. Be proactive and see who or what you call in.
Sept 21 – New Moon Solar Eclipse at 29º Virgo @ 12:54pm PDT. This is the 2nd New Moon in Virgo, the first being 0º Virgo on Aug 23, when a seed was planted and something began. With a Solar Eclipse on the final degree of Virgo (mastery), and with Saturn opposing the Solar Eclipse, it’s a new beginning that contains an ending or letting go. Fated events are expected, especially with this Eclipse landing on the World Axis, which creates events that attract global attention. Stay tuned…
The Mercury-ruled Virgo Sun and Moon seek efficiency and linear functioning, while Saturn in opposition can exert pressure and obstacles that create blocks, extra work or delays. If you experience this, remember it is guiding you to a higher purpose, as Saturn (restructuring) and the North Node (Destiny) in Pisces both ask you to trust in Divine Timing as you release what is complete so that you can move forward.
This Solar Eclipse contains a kite configuration—a flowing Grand Trine in Air: Mercury in Libra, Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini—and an opposition from the New Moon and Mercury to Saturn-Neptune. The social, strategic, innovative genius available in the Grand Trine is activated by the opposition from Mercury, the Sun and Moon opposite Saturn-Neptune.
Although it seems like you’d want to avoid the hard aspects, they create dynamic action that makes things happen, so get curious and look for opportunities when you confront a hurdle, an ending or the unknown. The oppositions invite you to channel your intuition and access your imagination for creative guidance, rather than following outside forces that seek to control you. Consider this an awakening, with profound possibilities that are available to you when you are open and available.
Sept 22-Nov 4 – Mars in Scorpio. This is the unstoppable Mars, who gets what it wants and will go to any length to make it happen. Taylor Swift has this Mars. When she was in her 20s she tried to buy her master recordings from her former record label (she signed a bad deal as a teen). They wouldn’t sell them to her, so she re-recorded six albums, adding new elements to each—and directed her followers to only buy her new recordings.
There’s more to the story (you can google it), but it is astounding how she outsmarted successful businessmen—and she won! In her 20s! Nobody has ever done what she did in the history of the recording industry, and THAT is Mars in Scorpio. It it can’t get it one way, it will get it another way. And it will plot and plan and do the work to make it happen, no matter what. I still am amazed. Yes, hers is a natal planet, but still, it is a super-power.
So with Mars in Scorpio, if you have a project that requires effort and focus, this is a great time to utilize this tenacious energy that has stamina and will power. Use it for your Higher Good and use TS for inspiration if you need it!
Sept 22 – Sun enters Libra @ 11:19am PDT. The Sun crosses the World Axis at 0º Libra and this is the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are in balance as we enter Autumn in the northern hemisphere and the “we” season of other-oriented Libra, sign of peace, harmony, beauty and relationships.
Sept 23 – Sun opposite Neptune. If you’re feeling confused, overwhelmed and extra-sensitive, take good care of yourself and bathe in nature or water (both are soothing). Your senses need TLC, so give yourself space, rest and quiet reflection, spiritual practices, creative food or whatever nourishes you. Or you may be drawn to creative pursuits, serving those less fortunate, feeling compassionate, empathetic, working as a healer, counselor, a priestess or mystic. Blessed be, wherever you are.
Later, the Sun trines Uranus. You may have an insight that inspires you to take a risk that is liberating. You’re seeking stimulation, excitement or a walk on the wild side. It’s harmonious, so you’ll likely choose an unusual (for you) and healthy expression of your Authenticity. Yes to that!
Sept 24 – Sun trine Pluto. Passionate and persuasive, this ambitious energy fuels the drive to make things happen and transform problems into opportunities. Use it well.
Mars square Pluto – With Mars in Scorpio, you are operating with the planet of aggression (Mars) in the sign of power (Scorpio). Also, the Moon is in Scorpio today, on Mars, making the situation even more emotional and potentially volatile. Mars square Pluto is combustible and there will be a confrontation. I suggest you stay out of it, if possible. Lay low—this is not the day to to speak out, pick a fight or be provocative.
You may feel like you have a volcano within you, ready to blow. Maybe something has been building inside and now it’s at the breaking point. This is a perfect day for a breakthrough if you’re doing therapeutic work, deep, focused solo work or research. If you feel edgy, do everyone a favor and sequester yourself and physically move your energy to release steam (exercise, dance, bike, swim, hike). Channel the energy to work for you in practical ways; you can move mountains when you harness it.
This week can be helpful if you’ve felt stuck in any area of your life. Focus on what you want to change as we move through this dynamic energy and know that as the world changes, you will change. That’s the point. We are here to grow and evolve.
If you’re currently creating something new, allow this energetic updraft to carry you to new heights and innovative discoveries about yourself and what’s possible. We’re entering an exciting creative time.
The breakdowns and dismantling in 3D are required for the world to be transformed. Do your work, do what you’re called to do and have faith that All is in Divine Order.
May all the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.
I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷
