For this week's report - Scroll beyond the following notes for the chart of the 2011 Fall Equinox.

Fall Equinox 2011

The picture of Fall Equinox chart appears to be exciting and eventful. The Sun is opposite Uranus, the king of excitement is stroked by Mars in its fiery glory as if it is holding the Leo Moon like a charm and quincunx Pluto (the powers that be). Pluto tries to show its stuff with the New Moon at the end of September when the New Moon is square to the Lord of control and dominating pressure. More global monetary upheaval can be expected. A week later the First Quarter Moon at 10° Capricorn shows the transiting Sun aligned with the equinox’s Venus at 10° Libra on October 3, 2011 in addition transiting Mars is 90° to equinox Jupiter. This may offer solutions to a stressed economy or reveal another serious dip in growth. Military action or a strong political plan is indicated as well. This aspects reveals an extreme prejudice. October 26th Pallas reaches zero Aquarius and may organize people to make a point. The Full Moon in Aries, on October 11th, star-cases Saturn in all its glory in its sign of exaltation.

How will Father Time, Saturn, ask us to take a look at irresponsible behavior and work on the details of pairing and parting as the Libra port finds where couple came together but the Aries port sets out on a singular mission? Aries’ drive for independence has its price and Libra's justice has its rewards and consequences as well as the universe attempts to strike a balance.
October 19th Last Quarter Moon at 26° Cancer brings matters to a close from the summer of 2009. As you reap the rewards of your efforts from things that began July ’09 and gained speed April 2010 to the Full disclosure of Jan 2011 and finally the check is in the mail around October 19, 2011. October’s Last Quarter in Capricorn is a direct hit to the equinox’s Pallas Athena. This awakens the corporate brain. This may also extend the hand of justice and seek balance for those in government. A battle is brewing as thoughts of no forward movement in government threaten the livelihood of the people. The financial wizardry may reveal the pitfalls and stepping stones of the economic picture of which the global economy continues to struggle.

When the equinox Mars is triggered by the New Moon at 3° Scorpio on October 26th it repeats the influence of the 120° Mars trine Uranus. This pushes inventions and discoveries forward. This also causes upset and fiery events. Expect surprises at every corner and financial shifts. Equinox Mars is also 45° and 135° from the nodes of the Moon. This indicates that sparks may fly at every turn. Matters build up that all seem to require immediate attention. Mars can help those looking for work to get back to work.
November 24th a solar eclipse at 2° Sagittarius fills in the third leg of a grand trine to the equinox Mars in Leo and Uranus in Aries trine. This adds to the excitement of the eclipse and should reveal the most dynamic innovations.

The lunar eclipse on December 10th is sizzling hot as Uranus is station turning direct at zero Aries and opposed the Sun of the equinox while Jupiter reaches its station point of zero Taurus. The economy, the earth and its stability are at the center of our attention. A dark horse may arrive on the scene for political advancement. The chart of the Fall Equinox will be an interesting chart to follow for global affairs.

The Week Ahead 9-24-11 through 10-2-2011
_________________________________________________________________

Moving on to the report for the week ahead; September 24 - October 2nd.
There are several events of special interest this week. Keeping in mind that Uranus and Pluto color the landscape in our lives with a 90° angle through 2015. As this aspect applies a sharp and dramatic push toward some of the biggest changes we have experienced in years we will be motivated by the courage brought up from the depths of our beings. This week the Sun, Mercury and Mars bring this message home on a personal level with sharp words from Mercury in Libra, a creative spotlight from the Libra Sun and the highly motivated actions and push for work from Mars in Leo. This is the work of your heart. A stunning New Moon brings both surprise and a new rebellious voice into the foreground. There may be a key event that sparks the reactions of organized groups which might march or plan to march with a strong message for those in the seat of power.

The Moon will be as close to the earth as it gets in a month while in the invisible New Moon’s dark phase, Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, September 28. The Moon may be invisible but its impact is likely to swell the seas inside and out. This New Moon brings the crazies out from behind their masks. Take notes. Be an observer and not a player into the great drama that could unfold.

The planet changes began last Friday morning, 9/23, as the Sun arrived at Libra’s door bringing the fall season at 5:05 AM. This is a dynamic moment in time that is filled with surprises over the next three months. Mercury arrives in Libra on Sunday September 25th. The New Moon occurs on Tuesday at 7:09 AM at 4° Libra.

The planets that present a lasting impression and support a positive influence are found when parallel in declination to each other and extend the impact of any other aspect that they share during the week. This week Mercury and Uranus are opposite on Tuesday morning and held in place by the parallel that morning. This brings a lasting affect from the types of derailment often noticed by Mercury a and Uranus opposition. Something about the cutoff is vital to the next step in linking others to its cause.
Also on Tuesday morning Venus and Saturn join in a long lasting parallel that precedes the conjunction that is not exact until Thursday evening. Those that have been trying to bring peace must first acknowledge that a part or all of the relationship must compromise or lose it. If the end of an existing relationship is eminent the financial and practical matters are brought to the table.

Mercury is likely to make a splash on Saturday when it bumps into Neptune with a 150° aspect as its last hoorah in the sign of Virgo, exact at 11:47 PM and during the void of course Moon period. The sky is falling was certainly a consideration while the Moon traveled through the sign of Leo and headed for its opposition as its last event. Reports from NASA that its satellite fell into an unknown point the Pacific Ocean overnight.

Saturday Sep 24. The Moon is in Leo.
The outlook for Saturday might be foggy for you as your judgment could be off. IF you are out looking for a product or piece of property you might buy based on sentiment and not logic. The roof or foundation could be soggy and your thinking is out in left field. This is not a good day to sign or move forward with anything important.

The Moon is void of course in Leo from 10:39 PM Saturday night until it enters Virgo at 12:49 AM Sunday morning.
__________________________________________________

Sunday Sep 25. Moon is in Leo changing to Virgo. Hold back until you get all the facts.

The Virgo Moon sign must wait for Mercury to change signs at 5:08 PM Sunday night before conditions improve only for some matters. I would not chance it for important endeavors. However Mercury is motivated at the final degree of Virgo to clean up and get to work. Ask for help to plow throw big projects. Be sure to show your appreciation.

The likelihood of a jack-in-the-box could pop out of any corner is the work of the Sun opposite Uranus Sunday night at 8:14 PM. This is a haphazard day all around that could produce huge traffic jams, problems with flight and derailments of any sort. Computer glitches or viruses could affect traffic control. Sudden verbal outburst reveals an unusual truth. Rhythms are off and crowds could be spurred into a strong reaction by a political event.
Later Sunday night Venus and Neptune form a blind spot 135° aspect that impairs your judgment of others or reveals a hint of what might be going on behind the obvious.
Sunday is best for your selections after 5:08 PM or expect to lose something important to your project. It could be a lost connection or missing document. Your words might be taken out of context in an upsetting fashion. In any case this is not a good day to move forward.

Monday Sep 26. The Moon is in Virgo and has a soupy end to its mission when it forms a 150° aspect to Neptune 19:41 PM Monday night (I call that aspect life’s messy, clean it up. We enter the dark phase of the Moon on Monday. The Sun and Mercury are discussing an important step and call on expert advice. The day may be spurred on by an old wound from a Mercury and Chiron (the wounded healer) aspect.
Early Tuesday morning Mars and Pluto form that difficult and quirky 150° at 12:20 AM during the void Moon period. This is a steam roller aspect which can influence Monday night’s events. There is a significant pushback to force a point. On the positive side this aspect could put you back to work. Muscles should be stretched before rigorous activity. Injuries during sports events and over exertion are noted with this aspect.
______________________________________
Tuesday Sep 27. The Moon is in Virgo changing to Libra.
The void Moon period ends Tuesday morning at 12:50 AM when the Moon enters Libra until Thursday morning. The Libra Moon shows promise when all is said and done.
For Tuesday Mercury opposes Uranus at 2:29 AM. Watch what your say or how you interpret others. Difficulties rise between neighbors or siblings. Respect boundaries. The Venus and Saturn parallel plays into the saga of the New Moon which is exact at 7:08 AM. The issues are monetary with a strong focus on negotiations and the table of compromise. But something suddenly changes the picture as the New Moon sits in opposition to Uranus.
____________________________________
Wednesday Sep 28. The Libra Moon seeks to compromise a tedious power play set off by the Sun square to Pluto at 5:36 AM. Mercury follows suit in its square to Pluto at 10:26 AM. We come out of the dark Moon phase Wednesday midmorning. There is a major announcement or introduction as the Sun and Mercury join a 5° Libra. A conference brings light to a stalemate.
The best period to move forward thus far in the week is after 10:26 AM through to 9:51 PM when the Moon is void of course until 12:04 AM on Thursday when the Moon enters Scorpio.
______________________________
Thursday Sep 29. Moon in Scorpio is not good for entering agreements because the Moon will confuse and disappoint matters as it reaches a square to Neptune at the end of its trek through Scorpio. You may be hoodwinked or misguided. Use your inner resources before moving into final decisions.
At 3:27 AM Mercury and Mars are in a 60° bridge building aspect which can be working in your favor, linking you to others in your chosen direction even while you sleep. Keep an open ear for words from your children or important signals from your pets.
At 7:47 PM Thursday Venus renews its commitment to Saturn with a conjunction. This aspect joins those of wide age differences or gaps in expertise. Explore commitments without a final decision until Oct 1st and 2nd.
______________________________________
Friday Sep 30. Moon is in Scorpio. Avoid commitments and final selections. There might be news of a passing which influences your future.
Matters of property and jobs are the topics which are indicated by Mars and the Sun both in aspect to Vesta, the investor and keeper of sacred space, early in the morning. Put energy into the space you claim as private to maximize spiritual growth.
At 2:43 AM the Sun and Mars are linked by a very positive 60° aspect. This is a bridge building aspect.
Mercury & Jupiter at 150° at 2:16 pm send you on a trip or lead you to a new perspective whether in a class or philosophical outlook.

The Moon is v/c Friday night at 10:17 PM.
_______________________________________
Saturday Oct 1st. The Moon changes from Scorpio to Sagittarius.
The v/c Moon period ends on Saturday October 1st at 12:41 AM which begins the first Green Light day in the near future. Go for it.
_______________________________________
Sunday Oct 2nd. The Moon is in Sagittarius. Green Light.
The same for Saturday as Sunday October 2nd with a solid Green Light to move forward. This is an excellent Sagittarius Moon sign period with over enthusiasm as its worst crime. Expect a desire to over extend or over commitment as these couple of days are filled with optimism. Go ahead and move forward with your goals.
