SEPTEMBER 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday VIRGO and LIBRA Natives!!
As September begins with Labor Day Monday, we awake to unexpected events. Stay in touch with others as relationships of every nature are in the spotlight this month. Four planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, and eventually the Sun - spend time in Libra, the sign associated with marriage and one-on-one connections. With all these planets in Libra you can bring harmony and balance into your life though there are several important planetary shifts empowering us to embark in new directions.
Jupiter
(the planet of good luck and known as the ‘greater benefic’), which has been moving in retrograde motion since May 9, 2008, is turning direct in Capricorn on the 7th. Suddenly you will begin to feel a sense of release as your goals come within reach. It is now a time to go forward and implement new ideas for professional advancement. All of your hard work over the last four months will begin to pay off. Pluto follows in Jupiter’s footsteps by going direct in Sagittarius on the 8th. These are the final days of Pluto’s transit of Sagittarius, a transit that won’t occur again for another 267 years. During these final days of Pluto transiting through Sagittarius, where it’s been since October 1995, you may experience a final urge to indulge in excess at the same time face some of the repercussions resulting from our overzealous behavior of the last few years. Once Pluto takes residence in Capricorn in November, it will be time to transform the way we take responsibility for our lives so that more security can be created. :-) Remember: the words for Pluto are: transform, metamorphosis, rebirth and new beginnings. Look for signs of these emerging energies during the next several months as Pluto begins to open up all areas of your life. You will begin to see you can accomplish your goals if you put the right degree of effort into them. Mercury retrogrades in Libra on the 24th (lasting until October 15). Throughout Mercury’s retrograde we will feeling a pull inward to reevaluate the important relationships in our lives. Are relationships really progressing in the way that is fair for all concerned, for us as well as the other person? Can we reach a new level of agreement? Is there a way to make the path ahead smoother and more harmonious for all involved?
This month’s Full Moon occurs on the 15th at 4:14pm at 22°54’ Pisces. This is a time to focus on who you are and what you truly want and to be true to those things. This month’s New Moon occurs in Libra on the 29th at 3:13am. A New Moon occurs when the Moon and the Sun are in the same sign at the same degree. This is a time for concentrated energies and new beginnings. The New Moon in Libra is a time to create more balance, peace and harmony within you and with your friends and family!
