Libra trait, so it will be interesting to watch how the
nomination process for US Supreme Court Justices
works out, and how the dynamic between police
safety and civilian security finds a healthy balance.
From another perspective, Jupiter moving into Libra asks you to let go of relationships and/or beliefs that you have outgrown. You are not doing
anyone any favors by holding onto energy connections that are an empty shell of what they used to
be.
It is a mixed weekend combining play and responsibility. Saturday has the Saturn square Neptune
aspect that has been reflecting many world
problems. Saturn has to do with law, prejudice,
government, infrastructure, delays, and restructuring some aspect of your life and the world. Neptune has big dreams and big illusions. Neptune has
trouble when its Utopian vision for a better world
has to work in the mundane world as it is today.
Somehow, there is room for compromise in your
life (and Congress). The days surrounding this aspect are unconditionally loving and serious. You
can feel both tired and excited to open to a new
world view. Blend your responsibility schedule
with time to float in daydreams. Don’t react to late
evening Saturday relationship challenges when
Venus challenges obsessive Pluto. It’s OK to bring
relationship issues to the surface, but this is not
the time to obsess on an immediate solution.
Sept. 11-17:
The moon is in Capricorn to begin the week, bringing responsibilities and hard work. At the same
time, the early week is filled with happy lunar aspects. You combine joy with productivity. By Tuesday and Wednesday, you are ready for something
unique. Allow extra time in your schedule midweek and try something different than your normal
path. If you have authority figure issues or have angry people in your life, sneak out of the line of fire
on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday evening begins
the build up to the Pisces full moon.
Friday’s (Sept. 16) Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse at
25 degrees Pisces and Virgo. Lunar Eclipses tend
to be emotional, bringing hidden feelings to the
surface. Pisces can take you outside the boundaries
of this world to bring forth a new vision, and Virgo
helps you bring them down to earth. Put on some
blues by the late B.B. King to celebrate his birthday.
When your birthday occurs with an eclipse, some-

thing significant is coming in the year ahead. The
planet Mars is tied to this eclipse in a motivating
way- that’s a nice way of saying aggressively pushing you to action. It has been mostly in Sagittarius since it was retrograde last spring. The next ten
days is the final push to help you align your philosophical goals and ideas with the actions you take
in your daily life. Although this full moon is challenging, you can take positive steps to open to a
higher vision that will work in the mundane world,
and get you moving on manifesting that higher vision. Remember that mental Mercury is retrograde
until the 21st, so allow flexibility so your plan can
adapt to changing circumstances.
The moon moves into Aries for a physically active
day on Saturday. It is a good day to meet new people and explore your eccentric side. Be quiet Saturday evening.
Sept. 18-24:
If you have anything important to do on Sunday,
do it before 1:10 PM PDT when the moon goes
into its reclusive void-of-course phase. Finish old
business or do mundane tasks when the moon
is disconnected from the other planets. A practical Taurus moon to begin the work week has you
task oriented towards tangible goals. On Tuesday
at dinnertime, talkative Mercury makes a harmonious trine to deep Pluto. Share an evening meal
with someone who can talk on deeper levels. Late
Wednesday evening Pacific Time, Mercury ends
its retrograde period since August 30th. Put extra
effort into being organized and efficient, knowing
projects will pick up speed in the weeks ahead.
The Autumnal Equinox is Thursday September
22 at 7:22 AM PDT. The air element is strong in
a chart cast for the next three months, and that
means lots of ideas and lots of talk. However, the
“follow through” fixed signs are missing now, so
know that not all of your brilliant ideas will come to
fruition. There are a lot of conflicting energies, but
that isn’t a bad thing. For example, Venus wants
committed relationship and it is opposed by Uranus that values friendship and freedom. You have
the opportunity to balance your partnership and
freedom needs. The energetic Sun and expansive
Jupiter are aligned to gently push you to take on
bigger projects. At the same time, there is conflict
between Mercury that looks at the small details,
Neptune that wants to live in Utopian ideals, and
