Took a little time off, what a glorious August!!!!!!!

My favorite Astrologer Wilkinson has this to say about September:

September is almost here, and it’s time to put things into place that will stabilize and solidify whatever security we need. We are assisted in this by the Sun conjunct Saturn trine Jupiter in early September, harmonizing any sectors and planets we have in Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces, so get a plan and get ready to do forms of self transcendence showing how you’ve become more responsible, mature, or organized since February.

The big new of course is Jupiter going stationary direct exactly trine Saturn. The Sun conjuncts Saturn just before it trines Jupiter during the first 5 days of September indicating a very good time for planning and/or resuming activity on hold since May. The Jupiter trine Saturn is exact on September 8, the same day Pluto goes stationary direct at 29 Sag.

With both Jupiter AND Pluto going direct within days of each other, it would seem that evolution is again on the march for the entire world! A LOT of change is coming like an express train!! This is what we’ve all been waiting for since Spring, so take stock of lessons, rewards, how you’ve gotten fit to do something, and get ready to practice the self-transcendence that Jupiter challenges us to become.

Besides the very powerful Earth Trine involving Virgo and Capricorn, we also have Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Libra, each quintile then sextile Pluto. Even Mercury, which goes retrograde at 23 Libra 00:17 am PDT September 24, is still favorable to Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, promising another fairly good Mercury retrograde period. I’ll write more about the coming Mercury Retrograde period in a short time.

Of note is that the trine between Jupiter and Saturn will last quite a while, so keep pushing forward in practical ways that help to stabilize the Earth and Water areas and planets in your chart. This will be given boosts each time the Moon makes a conjunction, sextile, trine, or opposition to Jupiter or Saturn, giving us quite a few days to cultivate understanding, productivity, harmony, and momentum in our Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces sectors.

The Earth Trine is especially strong September 18-19, October 16, and November11-12 (Full Moon!) when the Moon is in Taurus creating a Grand Earth Trine. Even when the Moon makes oppositions from Cancer or Pisces, it will create strong configurations that will help us turn opposing forces to our advantage, and we should be able to preserve momentum despite conditions.

The transits through Libra will release the Jupiter energies in balanced or refined ways that will help new projects as well as assisting our clarity about needs and what we care about. The multiple Libra conjunctions square Jupiter all occur in the first 10 days of the month, indicating a very dynamic period. Since Venus is in her home sign and is the final dispositor of all the other planets, pay particular attention to its transit through your chart. A new sense of perspective, proportion, or justice is going to show itself in your life wherever it transits, and to a lesser degree, in all areas (since it rules, directly or indirectly, all the other planets.)

The multiple quincunxes to Uranus from Libra show adjustments and sacrifices, but these will help us simplify and stabilize, as well as strengthen and get centered in our heart’s intention and truth. That the Libra planets also trine Neptune at the same time is very good for seeing a bigger view, a larger ideal, and more beautiful relationships. All in all, this should be a very productive month of good interactions that help us know we are moving toward a better life than we knew before the liberations in play since May.

I’ll be composing more about the Spiritual factors at play in September and October in the next few days, so stay tuned.
