Hello Friends of Turn To The Stars,
The last quarter Moon of the last partial solar eclipse we experienced is this Sunday September 2. It signifies the end of an intensely transformative period of time. The Moon will be in the constellation of Gemini and in square to the Sun in Virgo and Neptune retrograde in Pisces. This influences divided feelings, uncertainty, and nervousness overall as we look forward to what’s next with the New Moon to come on Sept. 9 in Virgo. The square to Neptune reminds us to be still if we’re not sure. Wait until the fog clears as Neptune can cause confusion at this time. While the last quarter moon can feel like the last quarter of a game, we’re contemplating what’s transpired and considering what will deliver the most creative and healthy results.
I wanted to mention something about retrograde planets because it’s been such a topic of conversation over the last couple of months. From our perspective here on Earth it appears that a planet is moving backward because we are moving faster. So it’s an optical illusion much like if you’re on a train moving alongside another train and the other train slows down. You could perceive it as moving backwards until it speeds up again and can be seen visually moving forward. This example is a good one as it gives a visual of what is actually happening from our perspective here on Earth it appears that our neighboring planets are revisiting old territory or going backwards. This is why we reference planets in retrograde as retiring or retreating. We consider it a time of reflection, a time to go more inwards, to reconsider the symbolism of our past experiences into whatever area that planet was transitting. We might consider it a time of purification due to the introspective type of energy influence of the planet that is retrograde. For instance Mars just turned direct after a long 2 month period of retrograde. Mars influences masculine, active, forward movement but as it was retrograde it felt like were were stifled and not able to move forward. There’s been quite a change in momentum this week especially in the area of government and business. However, the square between Mars and Uranus remains until the end of September. Mars is moving very fast now in the sign of Aries and this creates a lot of heat and the square represents tension and a challenge as it continues to actively move toward this square to Uranus in Taurus. Uranus delivers the unexpected and it’s in the earth sign of Taurus so it indicates fast moving heat and unexpected, unpredictable patterns of electrical currents and activity which is causes great challenges to earth.
The first new moon to follow this eclipse portal is on Sunday September 9 and it is at 17 degrees in Virgo. We have 7 planets all in earth signs at this time. So there will be a huge focus on the earth. There will be a huge focus on our health as well. This is a great time to focus on your health and healing. Look at your diet, your nutritional intake. Put a plan in motion to analyze areas of your health and your thinking. Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury so it is about purifying our thoughts and realizing how important it is what you think and say. Virgo also brings to our attention our work and so there will be a focus on work and how well we are serving the world with what we do from day to day.
If you’re having any negative thinking do some self talk and try imagining a big red stop light reminding you to stop and change your thoughts to a healthier direction.
Virgo also raises awareness to the plants and natural healing qualities available to us from the earth. So you might look into methods for purifying your body as this new moon presents this new beginning, this new start.
Virgo likes everything to be clean, pure, natural and in order so you may find yourself reorganizing your work space, your home. Doing some deep cleaning and reorganization.
There is so much more to say about the universal chart. But certainly this month begins with a strong sense of focus on purifying areas of our life wherever this new moon is by transit around your birthchart.
The article you have just read is written from looking at a universal chart which means it’s what is affecting everyone in some form or another.
For a more personal reading I am available tomorrow at Every Nook & Cranny in Mount Dora from 12-5, and on Saturday at Spiral Circle from 2-6. I am also available for private appointments by phone or in person. My contact information is below.
Sending you all lots of smiles and inspiration around the new beginnings in your life,
