SEPTEMBER 2005
The month begins under the sign of the unexpected, with the Virgo New Moon of September 3rd occuring in strong aspect to Uranus. Sudden developments and a surprising and lucky turn of events are to be expected in both romantic and financial matters.And how else could it be under such a rare and beautiful planetary configuration : the lesser and the greater benefic, Venus and Jupiter, meet in exact conjunction in the sign of Libra, governed by Venus herself, ruler of love, partnerships and money!
To get an idea about what this combination might hold for you, take a moment and think back early November 1993, the last time that Venus and Jupiter met in exact conjunction in Libra. You may remember that date as the starting point of a series of happy developments in both your professional and personal life, which reached a culminating point around end 1999 – early 2000, and got concrete shape sometime around end July 2002. As their next meeting in tight conjunction in this sign will only happen some 23 years from now, around November 9th 2028 (after an unsuccessful attempt in September 2016), make the best use of this rare and wonderful configuration and forge ahead on the plans you have in mind. But there’s more : the lucky duo trines Neptune and sextiles Pluto (turning direct on September 2nd) , so whatever luck comes your way now is like a wish come true, the culmination of a long held desire, and its materialization will have an extremely positive and life-changing effect for you. The two weeks following the New Moon are perfect for any new beginning, especially for starting a romantic relation, a business partnership or a financial endeavour.
This moment is doubly important, as the two benefics activate by opposition the sensitive 19deg Aries point of April 8th Solar Eclipse . Events related to a situation, relationship or state of things you were involved in at that time, and which dynamically reemerged around mid July are likely to take centerstage now and reach a culminating point, bringing you joy, happiness and good luck in love and money matters alike.
A word of caution, however : one of last month’s deceiving and confusing elements is still strong, with Mars squaring Neptune until September 10th . I have to repeat here my last month’s forecast warnings: With Neptune in the picture, nothing is quite as it seems. Avoid dishonesty in all your endeavours and beware of deceiving actions, as some may now be tempted to use underhanded methods to get what they want. On the romantic plane, betraying or being betrayed is a strong possibility now, and clandestine affairs flourish under this planetary aspect. This aspect may also overstimulate the need to drink. It’s true that having a drink or two is no capital sin, but making promises or taking decisions under such circumstances is something you should definitely avoid.
The Pisces Full Moon of September 18th may bring about a highly emotional moment. Private meetings and secret discussions that take place now can bring to light previously hidden facts and intense feelings that have been kept buried inside for a long time. Past misunderstandings have now a chance to be cleared up, and with the Sun, Mercury and Mars in earth signs (Virgo and Taurus, respectively), there is no doubt that practical solutions can be easily found and an efficient course of action can be agreed upon. The decisions taken will help healing old wounds and letting go of past unhappiness, delays and frustrations. The same goes for difficult financial situations, that have now a chance to be sorted out and approached in a more rigurous and clear-headed manner.
There is another face to the coin, however : if managed unwisely, the powerful energies at work may backfire, and around September 18th we may have to face a very tense and uncomfortable moment of truth. With Pluto squaring the Full Moon degree, chances are that lies, hidden information and secret facts come to light now, as the Sun conjunct Mercury in meticulous and detail-oriented Virgo will be more than willing to provide an extremely well documented report on what did what to whom, how, why and when. This could prove to be a very testing moment in monetary matters too.
September ends on a much calmer note under the stabilizing effect of Saturn, peace and harmony prevail in all our interactions compliments of the strong Libran influence, love relationships gain in depth and intensity, and financial issues continue to be a challenge. Thus, the background is set for next month’s big astrological events : Mars turning retrograde in Taurus, the last Solar Eclipse of the present series in Libra , and Jupiter leaving Libra and entering the next sign, Scorpio. |
