Report for Saturday Nov 5 - including Saturday Nov 12, 2011

Distractions and confusing situations are ahead this week and things that are difficult to distinguish behind a smoke screen. Matter may range from interesting to curious with Neptune’s influence. Neptune is the God of the sea bringing plenty of water to the surface. Neptune, currently retrograde will station and turn direct Wednesday, however we are under its influence now and will remain so for the entire week.
A Full Moon is on the way for Thursday in the sign of Taurus at 18°. Our attention is strongly focused on financial matters and the Full Moon indicates full disclosure and the end of things that have to do with money and sharing with others, anything that you have shared responsibility with others or even stuff, shared stuff. Maybe you are sorting things out and dividing things up; for instance a yard sale, putting thing out trying to reclaim some money for your stuff. This is definitely a good week to do that. But there are also lots of serious matters with this. Mars will change signs on Thursday night and retrograde Chiron turns direct also on Thursday along with that intense Full Moon. So Thursday is a big day. Looking a bit closer on Sunday there is another big event with retrograde Ceres turning direct also. Ceres represents the grieving mother and she is the Goddess of the harvest. Mythologically speaking, she is the one who feeds the planet. As she turns direct there is likely to be an opening of food and grain to be shared throughout the world. And there is also that sense of releasing the goods that are being held back by those who have the most and sharing it with those who have the least. Ceres also represents babies and children and stories about children. Perhaps stories will be released about missing children as well.
Looking at the week day by day;
Saturday November 5th it’s perfect for reaching out to those that are shut in. If you want to work alone that’s great, but invite those who have a special talent to help you with the things that you need. Mercury and Venus want to play when they connect with Jupiter on Saturday, today. That can bring a fun evening in a spontaneous way. If you are sitting at home with nothing to do when you are invited to do something, don’t pass up the opportunity. There is a void of course Moon at 1:25 pm when the Moon aligns with Uranus today with spontaneous events as friends come in to bring you out of your hidden space. What you might expect during the void of course Moon period, which last until 2:02 pm on Sunday, is that there, is a lot more going on than meets the eye. I’m not really going to consider that entire period void of course. Although taking direct action to forward goals are not in the mix for what I am seeing during that void of course Moon period. It’s more about what comes to you. Enjoy the interesting and magical things that come your way. So be prepared to receive. You may also get the sense of an old nemesis raising its head or an old love returning. However that old love may not be any better this time than last. Perhaps if it has been a long, long time there are has been a lot of growth. So keep an open mind.
For Sunday Nov 6th the void of course period ends at 2:02 pm when the Moon enters Aries. There is a message about child safety and an on going tale about a child which is uncovered with Ceres turning direct at 6:40 am on Sunday. The Aries Moon is hoping for an easy win at the finish line with a nice trine to Mars as its final aspect. However, it encounters a thick soupy problem presented by Mars and Neptune which oppose one another Monday morning. Sunday may seem as though you are walking through a very muddy river that could take you down the river into a whole bunch of problems. Mercury and Venus are travelling very tight together. They align in Sagittarius and they both link to dark and powerful Pluto in the sign of Capricorn. That goes from 3:00 – 5:00 pm on Sunday. So Venus can act as a buffer and mercury can act as the interpreter as they speak to a problem specifically of Pluto’s behavior behind the scenes. So there is a question about ethics and tactics. This can make the Pluto type person very uncomfortable. Pluto represents a powerful person who is not at all up to this kind of scrutiny. It is however a fine afternoon for working alone especially if you want to spot hidden problems and correct them with a strong level of focus. There is also the possibility of finding the appropriate person to help you. Keep an open mind – there may be a trap ahead with that Mars opposite Neptune, which takes place at 7:33 am Monday morning which does have an influence on Sunday and Sunday night’s activities. It is like getting lost in a very bad area. You don’t want to move forward during this time but wait until that passes. What I mean by that is don’t sign; don’t agree; don’t buy or sell anything until a Green Light period. Of course this is only a suggestion of how I view these energies.
For Monday November 7th begin a Green Light after 7:33 AM. After moving through treacherous ground of Mars and Neptune opposition we may learn of those that strike out at others. The Israeli threat to Iran comes to mind. What is so important about this opposition is that it involves Regulus, the Royal Star, at the heart of the lion. This star is known as the Watcher of the North and is one of the great stars in the sky, which brings success to those on a high path but failure to those who seek revenge. This seems particularly important in these final days when Regulus continues in the sign of the lion, Leo. On November 28th this star will move into the sign of Virgo, which is the sign of the laborer. I believe it is giving voice and strength to the average individual as the “Occupy Wall Street” movement is calling for the needs of the average person to be met and trying to finances more fair. While the banks received a “ball out” the people lost their money. Now the people want the money back too. I think this is a signal of the ancient prophecy that “the meek will inherit the earth’. Further on for Mars opposite Neptune at the end of their respective signs Leo – Aquarius, makes this not a time to engage in anything that causes doubt or which could be described as misguided. Take the high road in all cases.
Monday evening the Moon is quincunx the Sun, that’s 150 degree angle I call “life’s messy, clean it up.” and the Sun is at a very high profile point during that quincunx at 15 degrees of Scorpio which could means that fires could break out, there could be a lot of problems that definitely need immediate attention which culminate at the Full Moon and wane by Sunday morning November 13th. There is the potential for chaos during this time of a waxing Moon. The Moon will be full on Thursday at 3:16 pm. The presenting problems will be pretty big this week.
For Tuesday November 8th, during that Aries Moon there is a cleaner path. It’s a Green Light day all day. At 2:39 pm the Sun and Uranus pop up with an interesting problem that needs your attention. It’s actually one that leads to an excellent consultant or practitioner, even if it is for one time only. And this may lead to someone else or others that really further your goals. This is a good day to look and listen for opportunities, take calls, make calls all day Tuesday during the Aries Moon - put your head forward and just go. The evening has a little worrisome type of energy with Venus and Mercury both linking to Saturn. It appears that Saturn is speaking to them in a strong tone saying get your act together. The Sun is trine Ceres which indicates room for a comfort zone. Someone may be announcing there is a baby on the way. Also food and resources open up.
For Wednesday November 9th there is a void of course Moon from 12:45 am until it enters Taurus at 2:45 am. The Taurus Moon is headed for full disclosure of a serious matter which may be financial. For some this could signal the end to a financial crisis. There could be a swift end to things that have kind of a sticky complicated nature to them. Because Neptune is stationary during that day there can be consequences. There is not a Green Light during the Taurus Moon because of a final aspect that is square to Neptune at the end of the sign. This indicates murky and hard to define but difficult problems. You may be hoodwinked in some way. Like when you think you are buying a designer bag but it’s a fake. You may think you are getting new parts in your car but they could be used parts. Note that what you share with others is very important to review. But the headline for Wednesday is that Neptune direct station at 1:53 pm which has been retrograde since June 3, 2011 when it was in Pisces so now it is closing out the unfinished business in the Aquarius sign. It speaks to friendship and joining with others with a similar voice and making conditions better for all. It is a time for bringing awareness to those that are privileged that fairness is necessary to move forward.
Thursday November 10th the Full Moon occurs at 3:16 pm and Chiron turns direct at 6:11 pm after which time Mars enters Virgo at 11:15 pm. This is a very accident prone day with injuries to the head, muscles and tendons. Our chronic problems are highlighted as we attribute this meaning to Chiron, the wounded healer. Older physical or psychological wounds are looming large on that day making this a good day to make appointments for chronic problem. You might find the best practitioner to heal these issues. Mars is moving from Leo to Virgo where it turns retrograde on January 23rd 2012 at 23° Virgo and turns direct on April 13, 2012 at 3° Virgo. No until July 3, 2012 will Mars leave the sign of Virgo. This will be a time to put people back in the work force.

On Friday November 11th. The Moon in Taurus is a void of course Moon period on Friday from 11:26 am until 3:09 pm. At which time it enters Gemini through early Monday morning. Gemini is the sign of your sister your brother, your neighborhood, the town crier and gossip. It is the sign of communication. During this Gemini Moon sign you there is positive energy with a Green Light.

Saturday November 12th We have a green light from 3:09 pm Friday Nov 11th right until 10:42 pm Sunday Nov 13th. However beware of a very hazardous aspect between Mars and Uranus at 8:40 PM. This aspect can bring spontaneous opportunities for work but health is in question. Blood pressure spikes and heart conditions are more common with this aspect as are strokes. This aspect can be expressed as "necessity is the mother of invention". High tech is at its height. Expect loud noises from blasts and outbreaks of fire. Outburst and rebellious behavior is most likely. Any highly charged issues could ignite without warning. High blood pressure and erratic physical vital statistics are likely. Physical pressures need to be released in a safe environment. Stretching is important before physical activities. For personal use: Blow off steam in a safely with harming others.
For business use: Funnel this energy into new methods for technology.
So enjoy the week. Watch and listen. Remain very watchful. Listen very closely for a reasonable opening to respond to what your goals need. And don’t step on other peoples toes - you may have to pay for it later. So it’s kind of a treacherous quality that functions best with the powers of persuasion. A lot of things are going to come out into the open and there may be major headliners all week long. Okay. That’s it for the week.

Report for October 29 - November 5, 2011

Weekly Astrology Report
Sat Oct 31 2011 – Sat Nov 5 2011 - audio report
Good Morning! We have an exciting weekend ahead of us. How interesting at the end of October to have a major Nor’easter. The chart for this weekend shows Neptune at the end of the sign. Neptune rules things like this: big storms and white-outs and all sorts of heavy rain. So it’s not a total surprise astrologically. However, what I think is setting this off in particular storm off is the nodes of the Moon . The nodes of the Moon are not actual bodies in the sky but are intersection points- very important points, where the Moon crosses from north to south. Those points are where the eclipses take place and when these lunar nodes line up with an eclipse degree there are headliner events. The nodes are at 14° Sagittarius/Gemini and the eclipse related to this degree is not until next June. It doesn’t matter. All it has to do is set off that degree and you get major news. Also today, the Sagittarius Moon is crossing right over that north node. We can visualize this as swelling that takes place of all of this lunar energy and we invite everyone to this snowy party. To boost the effect we see that the Sun and Jupiter are opposite – that was on Friday 10/28, which pumps up the volume for the activities. Add to that Mars that is approaching an opposition to Neptune. Mars is the motivator keeps the engine going. Neptune is the one that is creating all of this white out stuff.
Another really interesting thing that is going on now. Mercury and Venus are travelling very closely together. They don’t actually make a technical conjunction. However, they act as if. So because they are so close what is happening Venus is moving faster than Mercury as Mercury slows down for its retrograde station November 24, 2011 at 20° Sagittarius.
With the Mercury-Venus alignment we may have a greater joining of minds. You may be compelled to make an important statement as you feel you have found “your voice” about something. I find this is a very important couple of planets to watch because these are the two planets that are truly insiders of the Earth and the Sun. These are our social connectors amplifying the way we think and feel on a very personal level. This is a time to bring this out into the open when these two planets join. You may notice how these things from deep inside and move out into a more public place. We are going to talk a little more about Venus and Mercury as they change signs this week.
For today we have a Sagittarius Moon, as I mentioned. It is a very good day for expanding beyond your every day circle. I rated this day with a green light to move forward with your decisions, your purchases, your greater goals. That’s because the final aspect of the Sagittarius Moon is in a bridge building aspect, and that’s a 60 degree aspect, to Neptune. Neptune rules this white weather. The aspect of the day is a positive parallel between Venus and Pluto. This creates a very good time for markets and sales. There are intense desires that are attached to what it is you want and need. Those things you also want to bring to the negotiation table – it’s a money day. Alliances are designed for financial gain. Also Venus and Pluto are very sexual, and sensual, and can show the jealous side, sexual stuff that could complicate matters. So it should make for a very interesting date night as well.
October 30th on Sunday, the day begins with that Sagittarius Moon that reaches Neptune at 9:30 am beginning a void of course Moon period. The void of course Moon period does end at 12:38 pm tomorrow. That’s when the Moon enters Capricorn.
The Capricorn Moon sign last until Tuesday at 6:07 PM. The Capricorn Moon sign for Sunday 10/30 is without planetary aspects which can give a smooth transition for your activities. There are drawbacks to a Capricorn Moon. It’s a money sign. But the Moon is not comfortable in this sign. It’s ruled by Saturn. The Moon is opposite its home ground of Cancer which is also a drawback. The good thing is that the last aspect that the Capricorn Moon sign will make is a very positive 60° sextile to Venus, indicating that things should end well. However Venus is also compromised because it is in the sign of Scorpio which is opposite her home ground of Taurus as well. So this may cause some dissatisfaction and you may be forced to take a concession prize. So if you are out fishing you may not catch that big fish, but a smaller fish might help after all.
Monday October 31st Happy Halloween! The Capricorn Moon sends out a warning that your dreamy ideas could cost you a bundle when Venus in Scorpio moves into a 90° square with Neptune at 5:19 pm. This causes a tendency to be overly sentimental, romantic, emotionally dreamy, and you could fall in love with a fantasy figure. Also there may be a dissipating love interest and your desire to escape daily stress with fantasy. You could purchase things that are just beyond your ability to pay for instance. And then there is an illusion attached to your choices. Also watch out for your purse and watch out for your heart. Someone may try to sweep you off your feet, but may not really be available –the related aspect is at 5:19 pm on Monday.
Coming into Tuesday we still have a Capricorn Moon. Capricorn Moon I always think of that song “look happy”. That’s kind of what a Capricorn Moon feels like to me. It presents the pressure to get your outer appearances going suitable for business presentations no matter how you feel. At 4:37 am Mercury reaches a 90° angle to Neptune on Tuesday. This is confusing. You can definitely be experiencing this the night before. On Monday night you will have enough mental fog that could cause you to sleep overtime on Tuesday. Plan a backup method for getting you started for the day. Blind spots and lies: those are the nature of Mercury square Neptune. You could be hoodwinked and if you are trying to hoodwink someone else you could be found out. There are very loose boundaries with that type of aspect and visionary impressions. Children could be the focus. Listen to what it is they are trying to tell you and also animals disappearing or getting off the leash, be careful about that. Be aware of hidden traffic traps. Even medications could be misread.
On the positive side there is a creative streak with all of this Venus, Mercury and Neptune energy. Telepathic information is also strong with all of this Neptune influence.
Tuesday November 1st at 6:07 pm a void of course Moon period ends. Now I didn’t mention when it starts. It starts on Tuesday at 5:00 pm when the Moon is sextile Venus. It’s a good one. Then the Moon enters the sign of Aquarius.
Once again there are a few some complications with the Aquarius Moon sign that begins at 6:07 pm and that will run for a couple of days. The reason it’s complicated is because both Venus and Mercury will change signs. So before they do that they call attention to themselves, as they are standing at that final degree of Scorpio. This attracts major events. I’ve seen train wrecks with Mercury at the final degree of a sign and where complications during travel cause pileups. Along with those things, add Venus to make it expensive. I would say take a lot of care with your activities. There is something else that pumps up that message, is the Sun parallel Mars which occurs at 11:37 pm. However if you are up late cramming to complete a task you can find the energy to do so. Otherwise turn in early on Tuesday evening and do most of your communications over the phone or online. You want to avoid any selections or any agreements with this particular Moon sign until these changes have finished. Before that you may find your main players leave your project before you get a chance to seal the deal.
For Wednesday November 2nd the Aquarius Moon shows Venus leaving the sign of Scorpio at 4:51 am she enters Sagittarius right until November 26th. Venus her principle is about sharing balance, joining experiences with others while Venus travels through Sagittarius. Your focus may be on relationships that offer you space and a sense of openness without that heavy expectation of commitment. Just enjoy, have fun with the lighter side of Venus. Friendship is going to be important as well with Venus in Sagittarius because of its aspect to Uranus coming up. But on Wednesday there is a 1st quarter Moon at 12:38 pm at nearly 10 degrees, of Aquarius. This is related to a new Moon that occurred last February 3rd. If you want to look back and see what it was think of a seed that was planted in February that now begins to take form. You can be actively involved in the process of getting on with what it is that you wanted to do back in February. So move forward after 12:54 pm when Mercury changes signs and enters Sagittarius. Now this is going to be a long stay, relatively speaking for Mercury. Mercury does not leave the sign of Sagittarius until January 8th. While Mercury is in the sign of Sagittarius it will turn retrograde on November 24th until December 13th. The next day after it turns retrograde there is a solar eclipse on November 25, 2011. So there is a major statement being made with Mercury at this position. It is a good time to listen, record and do whatever you can to keep your records in order because they may lead to something bigger.
There is an excellent aspect on Wednesday night for choosing a counselor. Uranus and palace Athena are 60 degrees apart. This is great for strategy it’s unique. You could hear about a medical discovery that is brilliant. Also you could create a plan of your own or find a counselor of your own for whatever your needs: whether they are financial or personal or instructors of any sort. It is a great night for Wednesday beginning in the afternoon to find that special person to help you with your goal.
On Thursday Venus and Mercury are both applying a trine to Uranus. Trines are beautiful. They are harmonious. They are 120 degrees apart. You may suddenly meet the love of your life. Mercury and Venus together particularly create introductions. I give Thursday a green light to move forward. Venus is trine at 3:54 am to Uranus then Mercury is trine to Uranus at 9:57 am. This is Thursday morning both of them make contact with Pallas Athena shortly there after making this an excellent day for creating some sort of an alliance with others signing, agreeing. There is a little snag at 8:05 pm when the Moon is opposite to Mars. If you were going to sign on something I would wait until after 8:05 pm if you can. Say lets touch back later in the evening and seal the deal as the Moon then leaves that aspect. Because Moon Mars tends to be aggressive, argumentative and cuts things off. Particularly Mars will cut things off. So if you do find the love of your life don’t push things. Just let it go with the flow. Let it have its natural development stage.
For Friday well we have this void of course Moon period that starts at 11:40 pm Thursday night until Friday morning at 3:17 am. Then the Moon enters the sign of Pisces. The Pisces Moon will be with us right through until Sunday. There are no major aspects. You could find an excellent piece of property or some way to invest in something at 9:34 am on Friday when Mercury and Vesta the investor align for you to find something very special. The final aspect of the Pisces Moon is very positive as it parallels Uranus on Saturday afternoon. So what this says is this is a unique Moon sign Friday and Saturday for you to find what you want and go ahead - move forward and make your choices. It’s a pretty good week. But I just don’t trust these extra good weeks especially where we have the lunar nodes setting off eclipse degrees.

Report for October 15-22, 2011

Sat Oct 15 2011 – Sat Oct 22 2011 - audio report.
Dietrech’s Party Plans yet. Stay tuned for details over the next few weeks.
The week ahead is a very good one.
I have rated each day of the week ahead with all Green Lights. When the last aspect of the Moon, in its given sign, is a good one then the Moon sign period gets a Green Light. This invites you to move forward with your projects, your ideas, any of the things that you want to accomplish that need cooperation with others or not. With an entire week of very good planetary energies to forward with your goals you might gain the momentum you need. The only exceptions are of a couple of short void of course Moon periods.
The Moon is void of course Saturday morning while the Moon was hovering under the Pleiades, also called the Seven Stars or the Seven Weeping Sisters. I do hope there is nothing to cry about. “Something to cry about” is a phrase that is associated with the Seven Sisters. At 10:15 AM the Moon sign changes from Taurus to Gemini ending the void of course Moon for Saturday October 15.

The ancients claim that the Moon is never void of course in Taurus because it is exalted in that sign nor in the sign of Cancer because that is its home sign. However, I will note the times that they will be void of course in those signs according to the modern version of astrology. There is a void of course Moon in Gemini on Monday at 6:17 PM until 9:37 PM at which time the Moon sign changes to Cancer. Looking ahead to Thursday, there is a very brief Cancer void of course Moon at 5:44 AM until 6:06 AM. This is an excellent Cancer Moon period which ends with a parallel to Mars. With Mars driving the Cancer Moon this week we should see plenty of momentum. Add to that a Last Quarter Moon at 26° Cancer on Wednesday which will be the highlight day of the week.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday October 15, 2011.
But let’s go back to Saturday’s energy that begins at 10:15 AM with a Gemini Moon. There is plenty to talk about and connecting with neighbors and sibs. It’s a time for getting together and great for making those calls, sending out emails, reaching people and errands. There are no major aspects throughout this day to slow you down or hold up any type of connection that you want to make. So the doors and the lines of communication are open.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Sunday October 16, 2011.
That Gemini Moon still gives us the same kind of energy
Sunday. There is an aspect between Mercury to Pluto. It’s a bridging aspect at 60° which is a connection and communication aspect from Mercury in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn which is positive. Mercury is the guide that takes you into places that you shouldn’t go, perhaps, or that you fear to go. With Mercury as your guide you travel safely in and out of what could be treacherous places or topics. Chose a strong guide for important meetings and hearings. Be open to the messages from those on the other side. Maybe you will come across a letter, get some type of information or impression from people who have passed away or about people who have passed away – that’s at 12:57 PM on Sunday. Another interpretation is a significant financial piece of information as well that may work for you. – It’s a positive aspect.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Monday October 17, 2011.
On Monday there are just a couple of aspects. Mars and Uranus in a very cranky aspect of 135°. Mars and Uranus will burn the tires right off your car, so doesn’t speed. It’s at 7:08 am. The morning commute might be hazardous that’s for sure on Monday the 17th. Also there is an opposite aspect between Mercury and Jupiter at 2:55 PM. This makes that day look as if there is a lot of traffic, travel problems, difficulty trying to get through a cluster of activity. The traffic jams, and plans could be dropped. It might help to check and double check your route. The last aspect of the Moon is at 6:17 PM on Monday evening and it is Moon trine Neptune. The indications are that things end up okay. But Neptune also says there is a cloud that blocks your view. Something might easily slip out of sight or you may find a magic window of opportunity. Then the Moon sign changes to Cancer at 9:38 PM Monday night.

___________________________________________________________________________________
Tuesday October 18, 2011.
Happy Birthday to my dear friend Naomi in Colorado. Tuesday is a very good day with another Green Light throughout the day to help with your goals. This particular Cancer Moon sign has Mars at the end of its run allowing for a positive push in the right direction. Perhaps there is a man that is looking to settle down. Something interesting occurs when Mars and Ceres are 150 degrees apart at 3:11 PM. I call this “life messy clean it up”. Look for important matters to heat up; or finally there is a fire under the pot. Things are burning up or a burning desire to create more supplies. There is a story about children in particular or others that you care for. Maybe there is a strong urgent need. That aspect has a quality of your need to stop what you are doing and tend to something that presents itself as most important. That energy may govern the qualities of the afternoon on Tuesday. There could be a job in the health care or care provider field with that aspect.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Wednesday October 19, 2011.
On Wednesday morning Mercury and Venus join with a parallel; an aspect helps people to join and relate to one another in a pleasant way. Perhaps this aspect will help you to find your voice about a particular topic dear to your heart. Or simply give you the words to speak the most. Also this aspect opens topics about children, animals and pets. There is also an aspect between Neptune and Juno. Juno is the wife, the bride, the marriage indicator. Juno also represents decorating yourself or home but it can be about honoring someone. Neptune and Juno might be romantic together. People may be calling me to say they just met someone or their sweetheart proposed. It’s fun like for Wednesday night.

Wednesday night there is a Last Quarter Moon at 26 degrees of Cancer. It takes place at 11:30 PM. This lunar phase is tied to a Moon family that started with a solar eclipse July 22nd of 2009. The next family member was 9 months beyond that which was April of 2010; another 9 months beyond brought the related Full Moon last January of 2011 and here we are at October 19th 2011 – with the Last Quarter Moon which is the last piece to the storyline that followed along near those dates. The story has to do with family and bonds. Families are joining for various reasons. There are topics about changing your plans about the care of family members. Perhaps about assisted care for older family members, or maybe day care for younger family members. There could be a large story in the news about babies. I know there is a missing baby that is in the news. And maybe the story will be resolved. There could be an important announcements of birth.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Thursday October 20, 2011.
There is a void of course Moon Thursday morning, very early at 5:44 AM until 6:06 am. Then in comes a happy Leo Moon. Another day with a Green Light. Keep moving forward with the exception of the void of course Moon periods. The void of course Moon period means that whatever you are trying to do is left to kind of a free flowing energy that can take your plans off the track or you land in a different place than what you expected. You’re not able to see things the way you planned. However, new things, interesting things, fun things can come in. Or if you have a worry or a problem during a void of course Moon period when your problem emerges there is an astrological phrase for that; “don’t worry, nothing will come of it”. So it’s not at all a bad thing by any means. As a matter of fact a lot of good things happen during this void of course Moon periods.

___________________________________________________________________________________
Friday October 21, 2011.
On Friday morning Mercury and Mars are split parallel. There could be arguments and accidents as well. Under this aspect you find a lot of animals in the road that run into our cars, we run into them. That’s a sad thing. There could be issues with animals: Trying to contain the coyotes in the area, a barking and biting dogs with that aspect as well. And children are also trying to voice their needs. It is exact in the early morning hours of Friday. But it does dominate Thursday night and most of Friday. Then there is an aspect, a similar aspect, between Venus and Mars. And that means that someone comes together briefly – could be from the past. Lovers from the past or marriage partners from the past may interact. It occurs at 7:26 pm, but this also is a long term aspect that is going to show us people emerging from the past or people to come together for a particular goal. It may also generate some money for a one time project. That is going to govern the energies for Friday. Venus and Mars also allows for a temporary job that comes up that puts some cash in your pocket. There is an aspect between the Sun and Neptune. It’s a dreamy aspect, it’s imaginative, it has a lot of color to it. But it could also bring some weather even though the aspect is a positive 120° trine. I often find that when Neptune aspects are strong we do get a lot of wet weather.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday October 22, 2011.
At 8:34 AM on Saturday morning is a void of course Moon at the end of that Leo Moon sign. That is brief. It only lasts until 10:40 in the morning on Saturday. That’s pretty much it for the week.
People have been asking is there a Mercury retrograde. No, there isn’t. Mercury is involved in a lot of activity with the planets makes it feel that way. And another thing that would make it feel that way – the nodes of the Moon are travelling over or hovering over the degree where a lunar eclipse will take place in June of 2012. So activities intensify, problems intensify, may get more of that mechanical breakdown, and missed messages, and miscommunications. Whatever you plan has to be redone. Mercury is not retrograde; it will not be retrograde before another month I think.
Also I am still planning to have a birthday party but I don’t have the details settled yet. I will keep you informed but it’s not going to be on the 23rd of October. We haven’t found a place where we want to hold it. Everyone is invited.

Astrology Classes are on Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm. Please join us. We are coming into eclipse season and we are going to be discussing the highlights of those things.

Planets turning direct this week: none


THIS WEEK'S MOON PHASE: First Quarter Moon on Monday October 4, 2011 exact at 11:15 PM and at 10° Capricorn 34’.

Below you can find four related Moon phases that form a group called a "Moon Family." A Moon Family is special because each of the four related Moon phases shares a lineage with this weeks' Full Moon. This Moon Family began at a New Moon eighteen months ago. Notice all four Moon phases occur near the same zodiacal degree and are separated by a nine-month interval. A Moon family is a remarkable timing tool that links the dates of your story-lines in a pattern that develops over a two-and-a-quarter-year period and is often renewed after three years with a New Moon near the same degree as this Moon Family. I have named the nine month interval the "Lunar Gestation Cycle" and when grouped form a Moon Family. See if your current situation connects to the Moon Family found within two weeks of the following dates:


The following list shows four related lunar phases called a Moon Family. This week’s First Quarter Moon at 10° Capricorn 34’ is particularly powerful because a solar eclipse occurred at the New Moon phase on January 4, 2011.

New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred January 4, 2011.
First Quarter - October 4, 2011
Full Moon - July 3, 2012
Last Quarter- April 3, 2013

[From Lunar Shadows III – pg 34 -
First Quarter Moon = a readiness that encourages the development of new endeavors, or a response with action when called upon.

A First Quarter Moon
The First Quarter Moon is a “turning point.” The Sun and Moon have grown beyond a place of oneness and into separate sets of experience. There are differences at the point of the first square, and this can be a time of clash and stress. Breaking through the ground the way a seedling must is no small feat because it must fight its way through the soil to reach the light of the Sun. This is an ambitious time.

What is the Meaning of a First Quarter Moon?
At a First Quarter Moon, there is a great burst of energy and growth. It is an active and courageous time with sharp
and strong challenges. There is a lot of forward motion and drive toward progress. Often problems are present.
The crisis that occurs at this time is likely to be a credit for the future, as even a painful experience can send you into
a positive leap forward. Conflict between males and females are one of the traits of Moon square Sun. Most often,
events happen right on the day of Quarter Moons. The kinds of events that have a real First Quarter Moon quality go beyond the seed stage and on to the next level of activity. This is where one becomes actively involved with matters that had their beginnings nine months ago. There could be an air of ambition and enthusiasm in whatever you are doing. You are becoming enlightened and moving at an energetic, forward pace. It is a time of coming around the corner but not a time to cut corners. A particularly strong sense of purpose is evident with a First Quarter Moon that is related to a Solar Eclipse nine months prior (as is relevant to the October 4, 2011 First Quarter Moon). Things “take off.” Ideas that were only dreams back at the Solar Eclipse (or New Moon) are now developing a life of their own and pressing you to make them a reality. The light of the First Quarter Moon is still growing and suggests there are potentials that need more research and direction and there is still a question. ]


You can use the dates in this Moon Family to reflect or project into the future when you focus on your current situation. Once you have realized your story is part of the "bigger picture" you may relate to each phase in the Moon Family personally, as it carries your storyline along a path of logical evolution. Expect related topics, either personal or public to resurface on the dates shown in the future. By following the symbolism of the four Moon phases which represent the various stages of your story, you develop greater insights to the timing and meaning of the events in your life. Even after one Moon family is completed over a period of 2.25 years, a new Moon Family emerges with a new event or new beginning at the next New Moon stage nine months following the last date of a Moon Family.

At the First Quarter Moon stage, nine months after a New Moon, there is a progressive and enthusiastic development of growth. The degree of the New Moon is revived with the First Quarter Moon. At this stage you may know what your want to do but are just getting started. You need to make choices and selections or apply for permits, licenses or perhaps travel tickets or the next stage in a relationship. This is a gathering stage. Think of the First Quarter Moon stage as a time to shop for the ingredients to make a hearty stew.

Watch your story completely bloom and come to completion at the time of a Full Moon where deadlines, full disclosures, case presentations, social events, weddings and the like are typical.

In another nine months you may reap the rewards for your efforts as this stage brings matters to a close by the time that this Moon Family's Last Quarter Moon occurs. This is the pay-up or get-paid Moon phase. At this time you will collect the productive pieces of this two and a quarter years to seed the future. It can be a period when you are motivated to clear out or let go of things that are no longer useful. However people or things may return to you during the last quarter phase of which you once thought were finished. You may return to places where you had once traveled or visit with people from those places. People may return to you during this phase. It may become clear that very little is gone forever, even if it's a memory that keeps it alive.

General influence of the Capricorn Moon sign.
Hard-working Capricorn Moons are dead serious about their work. The "rules" command the day. Progress and status are important. Important people that "count" are around, as well as people you can count on. You are your own presentation, and caring about what other people think is often more important. The tone might be something like, "It is not as important to be happy as it is to be correct and successful." Make sure all your ducks are in a row. As a result, the pressure is great to be successful. Criticism runs high during Capricorn Moons and if you have not invited criticism as a constructive asset you could receive a blow to your confidence. This can be a time when people are more sensitive or very thin skinned. Capricorn can often expose matters of low self-esteem and gloomy feelings. There tends to be an emotional coldness during this time. Fathers, bosses, and authority figures are the main characters at the time of the Capricorn Moon. Architecture, big business and corporate structures are the focus. If you are a Capricorn, matters tend to go your way. Plant bushes and trees. Root crops.

TRANSITING MOON ENTERING PISCES at 9:13 PM
Oct 7 2011
The Pisces Moon can be a time of divine inspiration and composition. It is normally a sympathetic and empathetic time. This is a great time to recharge your batteries with some well needed down time. For some they may seek an escape with alcohol or mind-altering substances. You may feel compelled toward activities that support what feels like a mission or become a vehicle for divine intervention. This moon period can hold both gentle and forceful energy. Neptune the god of the sea, rules Pisces can be divinely spiritual or filled with upheaval when enraged. Hurricanes after all are born at sea. Tidal waves, tsunami and monsoons are all ruled by Neptune as are any major rain or snow storm. This can be a sensitive and romantic couple of days. There may be a presence of strong feelings of faith combined with a need to make a spiritual connection. It is normally a sympathetic and empathetic period; people can be overly sensitive and feel victimized. At times when feeling overly frustrated and misunderstood, striking out at others turns the victim into the victimizer as with the wounded puppy syndrome. There may be a strong focus on cosmetic and superficial appearances. Some may experience a Pisces Moon as a "black cloud" or fear that something unfortunate will occur as with 'Murphy's Law". There is a strong spiritual hunger during this time. Emotions range from melancholy to sentimental. This is a very good time for meditation, yoga and prayer and connecting to the universal divine protector. On a mundane level, there may be all sorts of sneaky behavior behind the scenes and misrepresentations. You may become aware of secrets. Clandestine affairs love a Pisces Moon. Elect to work behind the scenes for tasks requiring solitude. Intuition runs high; so trust your gut feelings. Music can be used as a tool to alter moods. Practice meditation, yoga and prayer. Create something poetic and be open to receive inspiration. Help someone -- service and sacrifice is Pisces' middle name and it helps with any tendency toward self pity. Be aware of the lack of boundaries. The weather may be wet or misty. This is a fertile time and productive time in the garden. Planting and cultivating. If a Moon phases occurs while the Moon is in Pisces, people take action on the secrets revealed. The rule of thumb with a Pisces Moon is that you will land in a different place than you expected if you choose this time to initiate your objectives. You can expect that not all of the facts are visible regardless of the Moon phase. If you are a Pisces, matters generally tend to go your way.

TRANSITING MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE AFTER parallel Uranus on Sunday October 9, 2011 at 9:53 AM
Oct 8 2011

The week of Sep 24 - Oct 2nd with a study of the chart for the Fall Equinox.

Class on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM and call for your signed copy of Lunar Shadows III at 617– 924-0929.
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.

Join me for a lively astrology class on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 – 9:00 PM.

Astrology Report for the week Sept 17 - 23, 2011

____________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday Sep 17. The Moon is in Taurus. It is a Green Light Day with plenty of momentum as the Moon's final aspect while in Taurus is sextile Mars on Sunday morning. This governs our activities today with a boost of high energy. Venus in Libra and Uranus in Aries were at opposite sides of the zodiac when they faced off at 7:05 AM. There might be discussion of how you may help with your friend's problems which suddenly come to your attention. This is a time to evaluate your money and belongings for future needs. The investment asteroid, Vesta turns direct this evening, releasing the locks on the market of your interest. This is a time to set up a sacred space for your spiritual or meditative practice. While in the sign of Aquarius, friends can be of great assistance or you may join a group of like minded people. The Sun and Jupiter are connected by 135 degrees with a tendency to over extend. There is a desire to get out from under a stressful environment. This is a mild traveling energy. You may detect an arrogant tone in the air. Maybe there is a legal snag or loop hole. Watch how over confidence might sabotage your progress. Someone in your company could be obnoxious. This aspect creates a restlessness need to get away. Perhaps you gain an education through rude experiences. The light is shining on tight knitted problem areas but there is little that can be done at this time unless you actually have the cash to buy your way out. This particular aspect may be over zealous with a piece of information that is over valued. Gather broader sections of information as a piece to a puzzle. The combination of these aspects actually leads to a fun and lively evening.

Sunday Sep 18. The Taurus Moon is void of course at 3:08 AM until the Moon enters Gemini at 4:06 AM. In the meanwhile Juno, the marriage indicator joins Saturn. This aspect has been brewing for sometime and is found to confront dysfunctional relationships. People need to consider all the hard realities of breaking long-term ties. This is further indicated by another Venus and Uranus aspect early Sunday. For some this leads to hope of a brighter future. While others oblivious to the problems are stunned like a deer in the headlights.

The Gemini Moon begins at 4:06 AM on Sunday. There are two aspects under great pressure from Mars to change although you cannot stop him from leaving or moving onto the next stage of his path. Sunday evening Mercury and Saturn place thinking on a serious tone while Venus and Pluto square off at 9:07 PM opening an argument about jealousies and possessions. The Gemini Moon has many stories for Sunday evening's drama, but resist the temptation to throw your Ming Dynasty vase at your partner as he walks out the door. This would be Mars leaving the Cancer nest at 9:50 PM for the bright lights of Leo. With Mars headed for a fire sign he feels at home with the common element that supports creative drives; gets your stuff out there; puts you to work; and shows others what you can do. This change is positive and generates a Green Light through Tuesday afternoon at 12:33 PM. You may have a vision - go with it. Expect to meet like minded people along the way.

Monday Sep 19. The Gemini Moon takes you all over town and your ideas flow. You may feel inspired with imagination and a sense of purpose. You just need to gather all the information you can about your topic and network like crazy. Make requests for letters of support and write resumes. There are several relationship aspects on Monday that may lead you to a good partner or counselor to support your goals. This is a Green Light Day that is perfect for signing agreements although hunt for any blind spots that might snag the yarns of progress later.

Tuesday Sep 20. The Gemini Moon is very talkative and reaches out to organize a plan when it makes a hard square to the Virgo Sun. This is an action day with a Last Quarter Moon at 9:38 AM at 27° Gemini. This day has a lunar eclipse from Dec 21, 2010 in its history, nine months ago. Those events are connected to surrounding agenda for Tuesday adding to a high drama meter for the day. This is a very powerful day; do what you can to forward your goals. You might learn something of great value to you. You may find work or be up for a job review. The report you have been waiting for comes in. The results have smooth edges with the potential for growth within a scenario that you have imagined. Look for the silver lining even if the immediate results appear unfavorable. The Last Quarter Moon has its roots from June 2009, then March 2010, onto the Lunar Eclipse at 29^ Gemini Dec 2010 and the last piece is here on September 20, 2011. You are able to reap the rewards of your efforts and find the check is in the mail from either you or for you.

The Moon is v/c from 12:33 PM until it enters Cancer at 2:53 PM. The Cancer Moon is another Green Light Moon sign that reveals opportunities at every corner through Thursday night at 9:55 PM. You connect, negotiate and heal an old problem with the help of the great positive connectors, Venus and Mercury, on Tuesday afternoon and evening. You may meet someone that fills an important role for you.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Wednesday Sep 21. Green Light Day. The Cancer Moon keeps its information close to the chest and shares the goods with insiders. There is serious thinking with a plan that may involve children. There may be unfortunate stories of children left without the support they need or those cut off from their grandparents. Mercury to Saturn (10:29 AM split parallel) then Mercury in opposition to Ceres midday (1:44 PM) also contributes to the seriousness of these issues. Expect to change care givers for those young or old. Later that day Mars rushes in from behind the scenes which could add insult to injury with a 150^ aspect to Chiron at 8:20 PM. Be mindful that horse play may lead to injury. Chiron was wounded when "horsing around". At 10:16 PM Sun and Neptune are at 150^ bringing wild weather. Also beware of those with misguided intentions coming onto an unrelated scene. Such as a bull fighter at a tea party. The cost of oil may shift. The best day is Thursday for sealing the deal but go ahead and move forward on Wednesday. As many important matters are forced to a head on Wednesday. There are indicators that a crisis mounts however the results are good. Find openings for employment in the health care field or other service fields.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Thursday Sep 22. The Cancer Moon is in good shape with opportunities that rise on many fronts. Take all calls and move into action with strong convictions. There are a few planetary aspects beginning with the all day influence of Sun parallel Uranus. Expect surprises. Ideas are flowing and inventions are the order of the day. Look for the latest inventions and seek medical support with those with knowledge of cutting edge technologies. You may find work in the technology field today. At 1:22 PM Venus and Jupiter take a long lunch or never come back as they head out on an adventure. Overdoing has its consequences of which over spending may be one of them. But you may find something you love and must have. Mercury and Jupiter plan a trip with their aspect at 4:53 PM. Learn what is being said about you or read about it online. At 9:22 PM the Cancer Moon makes its final aspect with a very positive 60^ to the Sun. A void of course Moon period begins then and ends at 9:55 PM when the Moon enters Leo through Sunday morning. The Moon enters Leo at 9:55 PM and does not hold a Green Light. Hold back from any agreements during the Leo Moon sign.

____________________________________________________________________________________
Friday Sep 23. The Sun enters Libra and fall begins at 5:04 AM. The Leo Moon has its problems due to blind spots and wash outs. Your plans could be derailed as the status of the current economic reports hinge on the stalled political structure.

A sweeping event occurs with the boost from a Mars trine Uranus aspect at 7:23 AM that allows for innovative ideas and a list of new products. You can feel energized and supported by others but it may not be time to move forward. Hold back for a day with better outcome. Mercury and Venus are great for networking and pairing you with those that see you for who you are. Write and call with no expectations. Just stay in touch. The goddess of wisdom, Pallas, is turning direct at 11:38 PM Friday night. She is a brilliant counselor and assists with relationship issues.

For the week of September 3-10, 2011

For those attending astrology classes at my house please note that we now meet every Wednesday night.

Last Saturday (September 3) we were hit with a combination of the two things - Victor was out sick, and a football game bounced us off the air. So we will be back on the air on WZBC next week.
The astrological activity for the week shows a busy Saturday on some levels with a Scorpio Moon changing to the sign of Sagittarius at 5:03 pm. There is a void of course Moon at 3:41 pm until 5:03 pm. The last aspect of the Scorpio Moon is square to Neptune, which has to do with blind spots. It will bring the inability to see around corners. A lot of mishaps or almost mishaps, could be likely with that kind of energy. Also making purchases with that aspect says that there are many things you are not going to be aware of. Things could be way too expensive and there could be problems and failures along the way.
The Sagittarius Moon comes in with terrific energy. It gives us a green light. The last aspect of the Sagittarius Moon is a really positive one, when it is sextile to Neptune on Monday at 8:30 pm, beginning the void of course Moon period until 10:03 pm on Monday. But from Saturday, September 3rd until that time on Monday September 5 we have a green light - meaning that you can move forward. There is a positive uplifting type of energy with this Sagittarius Moon. There is a first quarter Moon as well at 1:39 pm on Sunday the 4th of September. It occurs at 11 degrees of Sagittarius. This means there was a new Moon there 9 months ago at 11 degrees of Sagittarius. This Moon sign encourages us to move forward and to look out beyond anything that might have limited you before. Perhaps you’ll be happier doing something physical, getting outside. It’s a good time to work hard at a first quarter Moon – not a time to relax, because there is so much high action energy filled in this particular Moon sign. There is a competitive edge with a thrust to do something you once felt you couldn’t accomplish. So, it is full speed ahead with an eye open for possible obstacles. Try to imagine an outcome, how things will look in 9 months when there will be a full Moon near the same spot in the sign of Sagittarius. Try not to invest more than your interest is worth, because there is a tendency for over optimism with the sign of Sagittarius combined with the first quarter Moon. Both of those things bring about a type of over optimism, and you want to see that you are not over extending yourself. On the other hand, the energy is good for filing petitions or starting classes. If you are working in the arts, you may want to begin working on a new project or gathering the types of materials that you need. It could also be a great time to start writing a book – especially with this Sagittarius energy. Or perhaps if you’ve written one, you might want to try putting your feelers out during this Sagittarius Moon for an agent or publisher. Even though it is a holiday weekend you can send email, and your timing will be marked as being very good if you send an email during the green light time that we have with this Sagittarius Moon. Sunday night there are no aspects to hinder your progress.

For Monday the 5th, on Labor Day, there is an aspect between the Sun and Juno. Juno is the symbolic wife of Jupiter. She has a lot to do with decorating and fixing up and making things look excellent, so it is a nice day for that type of activity. At 1:43 pm someone may be noted to be honored for some reason. Then, Mercury and Jupiter form a parallel at 7:57 pm. This aspect has to do with reaching outside your normal realms of communication or avenues, or typical places you may go or have links to others, and this opens doors. It also opens your mind and it opens an avenue for education as well. Trips are very much indicated with the Sagittarius Moon together with a Moon-Mercury-Jupiter aspect. The parallel indicates a long term positive connection. So you are likely to meet people that you are going to enjoy having in your life for a long time. Then a void of course Moon begins at 8:30 pm on Monday night, continuing until 10:03 pm, when the Moon changes signs.

This particular Moon sign of Capricorn is not so positive. There are difficulties brewing related to the Moon opposite Mars which does not actually occur until Wednesday afternoon at 4:35 pm, but it governs the entire energy for the Capricorn Moon period. There are no major aspects that appear on Tuesday, so many things may feel free flowing. The Sun and the Moon will make a beautiful trine very early Wednesday morning at 12:07 am. That’s a nice aspect to be sleeping with; at least this part of the country on the east coast will be sleeping at 12:07 am, hopefully. A little bit of a coming together with Venus and Chiron occurs at 3:17 pm on Wednesday. This aspect has to do with the temporary ability to reconnect to an old wound regarding love or perhaps a friendship. This aspect may also encourage sexual activity. For some, squabbles may develop during the Capricorn Moon with a focus on money or business. Mayer there are broad differences of opinion about how to manage things: how to run a business, how to run the family, how to get to work. The pressure is on to get a job. This Capricorn Moon sign is not a good time for signing papers or agreeing to anything. Avoid final decisions for Tuesday and most of the business hours on Wednesday.

There is a void of course Moon from 4:35 pm until the Moon enters Aquarius - and that’s not until 5:42 am on Thursday morning. As far as Wednesday night goes, I would say it probably is a little lighter energy than what has been before. Maybe it is time to cool off and back off and let people contemplate. Have them comeback into the circle of communication later.

Beginning Thursday September 8th, the Moon enters Aquarius, but conditions don’t fully improve until Friday. Things turn out better and you’ll see positive results if you wait to initiate things until after Friday’s Mercury event - when Mercury enters the sign of Virgo. But before that a couple of things happen. Mercury is opposite Neptune, and Mercury is at the very last degree of Leo. While it is opposite Neptune you forget things, you loose things, you leave things out. You could be loosing your papers you could be loosing your mind. Could feel like you are loosing your mind and your communications may be misinterpreted. Someone may be lying to you. You may think someone is lying to you when they are not. You could have a misconception of a lot of things where the smallest details are allusive in many, many ways. You miss the mark, the train could derail. That aspect occurs exactly at 11:25 am, but it will govern most of what we feel for Thursday morning, and a good part of Thursday afternoon. Then there is an aspect between Jupiter and Ceres at 5:04 pm. Ceres is the dwarf planet and she rules supplies and food and caretaking of family members and children, and Jupiter is at a 45 degree aspect to Ceres. They are very comfortable with one another, Jupiter and Ceres. They help each other out - when they are in this aspect they are not being very helpful. So this means that there may be blocks or limits in the way of what you imagine that you need, or how you think you need to get it. The doors may be open or not, and there may be shortages of supplies. Jupiter is retrograde as well, and so is Ceres. Jupiter is in the sign of Taurus and Ceres is in the sign of Pisces – both of them retrograde. So both of them are functioning at a loss or disadvantage. Later on in the evening on Thursday the Sun and Saturn form a 30 degree aspect. The Sun is behind Saturn, so the Sun has some information about difficulties in regard to any administration, or to those in charge, or the father figures, or the health of fathers and the health of people who are infirmed. Also anything having to do with the knees or the skin. Then Venus and Saturn form an aspect 10:59 pm. This has to do with the temporary joining of possibly financial indicators coming together to put a band-aid on something. Send some relief in - some financial relief in for specific one time type of event. Venus and Saturn also have to do with a difference in age regarding couples. People may temporarily come together. Don’t make any long term commitments based on those unions. During all this time, there is a period called a refranation. Which means there is going to be a planet that changes signs, and that will be at 1:58 am on Friday morning when Mercury enters Virgo. This refers to a grey zone that can be too tricky to handle. You might notice that something gets dropped, something gets lost, someone makes a statement, then changes their mind. You may decide to do something and then change your mind. You may write something and then want to retract it. You may say something and also want to retract that. So be careful about putting anything out there in a real definitive way before Mercury changes signs and enters the sign of Virgo on Friday.
When Mercury does enter Virgo you have a green light. So go ahead and move forward with confidence knowing you have the right information, you’re well organized, you are able to start building a structure and designing things with the proper information. Following that, there is a quincunx between the Moon and the Sun – (that means we are headed for a Full Moon September 12.) The quincunx is at 1:37 pm on Friday. That’s a 150 degree angle - I call it life’s messy - clean it up. Something happens, which causes you to have to stop everything and deal with a mess of some sort. Adjust and get ready to bring things out into the open in a big way when the Full Moon arrives Monday 9/12.

On Friday Mercury and Neptune are in a split parallel aspect. This means there a temporary reconnect with some type of intuitive notion. This could bring a bit of wild weather. The combo of Mercury and Neptune brings high winds and wet weather for Friday afternoon in particular, but it does govern the whole day. Then for Friday evening Mercury and Saturn form at a 45 degree aspect. This is a worry aspect. Expect to think something through very seriously, or you may have a problem sorting things out, and missing important connections. At 7:39 pm this aspect is exact. Saturn is in the sign of Libra and Mercury in its new sign of Virgo. So Mercury definitely wants to organize. Both of them are in very good signs: Mercury rules the sign of Virgo and Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra, so it can’t be too bad. You still have a green light so keep forging forward – and that goes for Saturday September 10th as well.
There are a couple of aspects, mostly aspects with asteroids and Chiron. The Sun for instance is split parallel with Chiron, which indicates a way to put a band-aid on your bruised ego, or your Achilles heel. There is some wound or some pain, some therapeutic way that helps to treat an issue, particularly a physical issue. Then Uranus has that same aspect split parallel with Juno. Well this is a sudden abrupt change with relationships, with partnerships or with your idea of such things, and also it may involve some type of experiment that rises to the top or reaches up beyond expectation. Mars and Ceres form a beautiful trine at 12:24 pm. This aspect lights a fire under the pot in a good way. This has a positive influence on perhaps finding day care for your children or starting school - anything having to do with finding the supplies that they need, and also for finding caregivers for infirmed or children. Look out for the animals in particular with the aspect at 12:30 in the afternoon when Mercury and Chiron are opposite. This is very difficult, very hard on animals, especially when they are out on the road or you run a collision with them. Perhaps there is a rabid animal out that is causing problems with children. So you want to be very careful of wild animals and also listen very carefully to your own animals. As far as children go, they may have special needs -take notice. The Moon is void of course on Saturday after it’s conjunction with Neptune at 1:31 pm, - until 3:26 pm, when the Moon enters the sign of Pisces, which give us an excellent Moon sign again. Pisces Moon sign ends with a split parallel to Saturn bringing favorable results with a green light during that whole period from Saturday the 10th at 3:26 pm until Tuesday at 2:20 am when the Moon is in the sign of Pisces. So move forward with that time period as well. That’s it for the week.
