September–What a Month!
Friday, August 21st, 2009
September is truly a powerful month. In fact an argument could be made that the week of the fifteenth and the eighteenth will put more astrological energy into our lives than we have experienced for awhile, and we have had quite a bit coming our way lately.
September brings two events to light: First, on the 15th is the exact opposition of Uranus and Saturn. These two planets have been dancing in Pisces and Virgo since November 4th 2008. And the dance will go on until the last exact opposition in April 26 2010.
We need not really point out (or do we?) that the first exact opposition, occurring on Election Day 2008 gave us our first Afro-American president and the first president since Clinton who could speak in complete, cogent sentences.
When we stop and further realize that all this was happening while Jupiter was conjunct Neptune in Aquarius we should be thankful that we are spending some soul fulfilling incarnation time on this planet at the present point in history earth’s history, for things are going to get really interesting. (For some of us war babies, we checked in to catch the beginning of the atomic age.)
In this century, we are witnessing the U.S.A. try to reinvent itself. We are also experiencing the transformative process that we as a people and as individuals on both a personal and societal level are going through at this time. We are seeing the largest national debt, the biggest economical bailout, the rabid battle over health care, all while two wars are still going on, draining money and effort that could be spent elsewhere and what about the prospect of China eclipsing the US as a world power growing on the horizon. Global warming is looming more and more dangerously as an immediate threat as the planet heats up at an amazing pace. We must go green to survive!
And another chapter is going to be written with the energy released in September. Why? Because on the 18th of September we are witnessing a new moon conjunct Saturn and Mercury (retrograde). Three are personal planets (Sun Moon Mercury) that will be right on the opposition points of the big daddies of power, Uranus (ruler of Jupiter and Neptune by the way) and Saturn . And it is a new moon, I think that with just a little fudging we could almost rate this with a minor eclipse.
What omelets of energy will be dished up here! It would appear that everyone will get their own serving of this exciting astrological event. September will be a month of renewing our emotional and soulful connections in a moment in history where there will be great fireworks in government and social norms. Some even view this as a count down to the changing of the Mayan Calendar in 2012!
A lot has already been written about the electrical surge of creative power that will be unleashed, about the great changes that will have to happen for everyone. But let me add my own thoughts. The power released this September will be completely traumatized by the square of Saturn and Pluto at Halloween. There will be huge changes flowing almost continuously until 20013 when the great cardinal cross starts to abate.
So I am not predicting any real events as I am offering this metaphor taken from weather forecasting. There is a hurricane season starting this September and there are going to five or six of these cyclones passing through. What I am telling people is to be prepared just like one would for a hurricane. Hunker down. Look to the foundations of your personal beliefs and the actual material events happening in your life.
All that us have will be tested. Changes will come and those who have built their house on a firm setting above the water line will do well. For the rest of us who have overextended ourselves in some way, this will be a time of adjustment. The roof of our personality may be blown off. The windows of perception may well be shattered. Possessions and money may be just whisked off into the air. We will have to hold on and repair after each storm, building stronger and better. It is going to be a challenge, it is going to be exciting, and it is bringing change. Soul growth is the greater goal here.
To change metaphors: buckle up, the ride is going get really bumpy. We’ll all get air sick, but after awhile we will adjust to the conditions and even the lightening bolts will be seen as exciting, even though threatening. It will bring thrills, chills and spills.
More with later astrological weather reports! And as you can see by the way I put myself out there, I am not your normal astrologer. Perhaps because I come from a red and green planet a galaxy away
