Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon on September 5 is in fellow Earth Sign, Virgo, your 9th house of beliefs, expectations, philosophy of life, legal matters, politics, religion, other cultures, long-distance travel and relocation so look for something new to come your way that relates to one of these areas.  If your birthday is right around January 4th this lunation trines your natal Sun and should have a stronger effect.  The lunation is at the hub of two closed loop aspect patterns which should lend a few clues regarding how this will show up in your life.  First of all, it looks as if some unexpected event that may originate at home or relate to your family or memories will be involved, thanks to Uranus in Aries, your 4th house of home environment.  Pluto is still traversing your 1st house and on your natal Sun if your birthday is right around December 31.  As noted previously in these horos, that is not a transit to be trifled with.  Pluto relates to power and control as well as being helpful for eliminating things you no longer need, though you may not be aware of it at the time.  Thus, something may come along out of the blue that forces you to confront something about your self that ultimately opens the way for a new view of the world or attitude.  Not necessarily bad but not necessarily easy, either.

The lunation is also at the apex of a Triangle of Potential that involves Pluto and Jupiter, which are currently separating from opposition.  Jupiter is in Cancer, your polar sign and 7th house of close relationships including your significant other, close friends and relatives, business partners, business professionals, competitors and open enemies.  Jupiter is exalted in Cancer where his expansive nature is not restricted.  Think of him as a big ol' whale afloat in the ocean, doing largely what he pleases except this is likely to involve someone close to you.  Your sense of control may be threatened in some way and force a confrontation but the good news is that this new attitude or other 9th house issues, up to and including some sort of religious awakening, may be the key to managing it in a peaceful, loving way. 

The New Moon, which of course includes both the Sun and Moon, is also tied into another aspect pattern that also involves disruptive Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Cancer.  It comes back to surprises on the homefront or perhaps a sudden or unexpected new beginning that challenges your sense of control as well as a close relationship.  Jupiter could be about expanding a relationship or perhaps simply having too many people placing demands on you.  The New Moon, if it brings a new attitude, may be just what you need to deal with it all without winding up in a rubber room.  On the other hand, the 9th also includes long-distance travel so maybe you'll be able to get far away from it all for a spell, enabling you to have some quiet time to get it all into the proper perspective.

Mars as well as your sign ruler, Saturn, and Neptune are in cahoots as well.  Mars is now in Leo, your 8th house of transformations, which isn't necessarily a good thing since this can predispose you to accidents or taking unnecessary chances.  Other matters in this house include sex, death and regeneration, debt, shared resources, things you suppress and intense experiences, clearing showing why this house can sometimes have a rather bad reputation, especially when impulsive, action-oriented Mars is involved.  Your sign ruler, Saturn, is in Scorpio, your 11th house of goals, friends, networking, groups, hopes and wishes which brings a measure of responsibility, karma and discipline to this part of your life.  The square to Mars suggests challenges, for example money restrictions related to your goals.  It also seems to contain a bit of a warning about going into debt for something you want to achieve or that it will represent a restriction or problem of some sort.  It may be unavoidable and worth it but nonetheless something to contend with.  Neptune is in dignity in his home sign of Pisces, your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, siblings, neighbors and local travel.  Neptune in this house can be quite helpful for providing inspired ideas and insights.  However, it can also indicate deception on the part of siblings or neighbors so be sure to lock your car and house and protect your valuables.  On the other hand, these very people may be the ones who provide you with some life-changing inspiration that brings about a transformational change of direction.

The Full Moon on September 19 is in Pisces, your 3rd house as defined above.  This suggests the ending, culmination or shift to a new phase of an idea or something involving your siblings or neighbors.  Since this house also includes local travel, this could even be a transportation issue.  If your birthday is right around January 16 this is likely to have a stronger effect.  Mars is still cruising through your 8th house of transformations but perhaps being restricted by friends, group activities or certain goals.  Saturn is conjunct Venus, which could bring some luck your way and possibly even something new.  This could precipitate a sudden change of direction or disruptions on the home front yet the ultimate result looks promising.  News or information related to your career or status may appear to be unfavorable, yet a transformation change of direction may be able to turn this around.  In this situation taking action is likely to have better results than sitting there even though someone close to you may not be particularly supportive of your actions.  If the past is holding you back, now is the time to take a close look at whether or not it's worth it versus time to let go.

On September 22 the Sun enters fellow Cardinal Sign, Libra, your 10th house of career, public image, reputation and status.  The Sun entering a Cardinal Sign brings a new season, in this case the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and vernal equinox in the Southern.  The astrological chart cast for that moment tends to define the energy of that season and is used for weather prediction, mundane and geopolitical astrology.  I suspect that there may be something to it for individuals as well so I'm going to take a quick look at it and then around our birthday time we can decide if it had any validity or whether I was just blowing smoke.  First of all, if your natal Sun is around 0 Capricorn, meaning you were born on or close to December 22, these ingresses will have more influence since the Sun will consistently square or oppose your natal Sun.  The same holds if you have numerous planets in zero degrees of any sign, you're going to take a blast of energy. 

Your sign ruler, Saturn, is conjunct the North Node in your house of friends and goals, suggesting something or perhaps someone new coming into your life such as a new group activity, social circle or ambition.  Venus is there as well, suggesting it will be pleasant and possibly love or money related.  The Moon is opposing them, however, from Taurus, sign of her exaltation and your 5th house of creativity, ego definition, children, romance, entertainment and speculation.  This placement seems to be crying for self-expression or perhaps the need to enjoy life in some way.  The Moon in a house indicates an emotional need.  This opposition therefore suggests the need for balance between friends and group activities versus what you need for yourself which could also include your children or a romantic interest.  If you spend too much time pursuing your goals or hanging out with friends and don't leave any time or energy for your own needs you're not going to be happy. 

Mars is still hanging out in your 8th house of transformations and that territory that tends to throw a few caution flags.  He is squaring both the Moon and the stellium in Scorpio, S the North Node, Saturn and Venus, creating a T-square.  This represents a lot of tension between what you need for yourself, responsibilities to others and perhaps something you're suppressing.  There's a lot of emotion tied up here that seems to scream "Something's got to give!"  If you're not getting what you need you may decide to do something rash.  Somewhat unusual for a Cappie, but possible.  Remember the 8th is the house of intense experiences as well as debt.  On the other hand, maybe you want to do something with your friends that you will find rewarding but it costs a lot, such as taking a cruise.  With all this tied up in a T-square it doesn't look like going into debt is a good idea.

Venus is trining Jupiter in your 7th house of relationship which suggests a friend may evolve into something closer.  There is a chance that this new relationship could generate some gossip or impact your career or reputation in some way that doesn't look favorable, so be discreet.  Interestingly enough, Pluto is mitigating that T-square to some degree, indicating that taking control of the situation at the personal level may be your best recourse.  Upsets or unexpected events at home are likely to challenge your sense of control, but remember that whatever doesn't kill you outright will make you stronger.  When all is said and done, you may find that your goals have entirely changed and you head off in an entirely different direction.  Okay, so the look at the Libra Ingress wasn't exactly short.  Whether or not it plays out remains to be seen.
