Pull out your magnifying glass and inspect your surroundings. Those of you with strong Virgo influence are laughing at me for saying this as you have been doing nothing else for the last few weeks will tricky little Mercury has been forcing you into a huge overhaul and clean up protocol! Don’t cringe under the pressure of the mother goddess, but rather allow her to guide you through this fastidious phase. The prankster continues to step backwards for a few more days, so hold off on beginning anything new, unless it is spurred by a reevaluation of what had not been working.

Speaking of goddess energy, Venus saunters into Scorpio early in the day just after the Moon and Sun join in the sky, making a notable statement for this lunar month. A dark veil lifts, revealing strong cravings and a desire for diving deep below the surface. Your attention pulls you under and you find yourself digging or information. Muddy water flows through your conversations. I am sure the water cooler talk is leading and promiscuous, full of innuendoes as everyone gropes around trying to connect. Windows steam up and perception blurs, endangering the ability to see clearly and think straight. If you have a green streak, mind your manners and your tongue, so as not to say anything regrettable. Rather than getting caught up in jealousies, put this energy to good use on the job. Use the power of detection to discover new methods and ways of getting the work done. Leave your friends alone and promise me you won’t get picky with each other.

Later in the day, Jupiter backs up into Pisces. If you weren’t paranoid earlier, then be prepared for twisted thoughts which potentially trap your mind tonight. Please don’t lose sleep over them. Allow yourself to drift peacefully into dreams and visions. During the next few months as the sacred guru returns to his cave for meditation, we are urged to get back on the path of what the yogis call sadhana, our daily practice of meditation and connecting with the divine pool of energy. Jupiter, the great one, stays here through January 20, 2011. Close your physical eyes and see through your cosmic third eye. This is an opportunity for the greater to dissolve boundaries and the notion that we are separate from one another. Be full of spirit and dedicate your heartfelt love to the greater being of humankind.

Clever Mercury turns direct September 12. All of our recent clean up and reorganizing now pays off. Take a break to enjoy the spic-and-span kingdom you have created. Everything that went awry these last few weeks suddenly breathes their way into perfect order. Call on Mercury as an ally, trust him to get things right.

Awaken from the deep cold freeze your brain has been in since mid April when the inky lord Pluto returns to forward motion in the early degrees of Capricorn on September 13. Pluto’s alchemy is about to transform your work sector, spiritual growth and to add something unique to your personal chart. Contact me for a personal consultation to find out the nitty gritty.

Mars the warrior moves home for a tour through one of his rulership posts in Scorpio. Vital transformative Plutonic energy gets accelerated from a strong Martian push, which no matter how you may want to slow things down or control, you find you are unable to do so. Give in and change.

September 18, Jupiter backs into the second of three conjunctions with Uranus. An explosion of the unexpected energy occurs. You want to know where this is taking place for you, as it is similar to early June of this year and will take a third turn in January of 2011. Behavior will be unexpected and unusual. Visualize a new way of thinking and being.

September 22, the Sun swings into Libra, marking the change of seasons and a new balance point for humanity. If you have unfinished business, resolve to make it right and bring things into concord. Those of you in pursuit of personal growth utilize this opportunity for attunement with higher power.

The Full Moon in Aries September 23 throws you onto the playing field with your partners in business and love. Team player change and contract are rewritten.  You know this has been coming, so hunker down and deal with it! The outer planets accentuate the intensity of the event in their tense squares, stressing out your ability to stay calm and reason with clarity. Be prepared. If you have felt change coming, then practice your presentation and know in advance how you are going to handle this.

Mercury harmonizes the interval with his glide into Libra. He acts as a mediator for any mess which has stirred up this lunar month. Use him to direct your thoughts and words toward a big plateful of self improvement with a side helping of kindness.

This New Moon in Virgo grabs you by the neck and says “Clean it all up!” The good news is: you are finally feeling full of energy which had been hard to find these last few weeks. Read on to learn what the stars have in store for each individual sign. Contact me for a private consultation in which I guide you to make the most of this month’s lunar opportunities.


Aries March 19/20 to April 20/21
You have been yearning for change, now it comes at you with great velocity. Back up a little bit to give space to all of the surprises. You don’t need to have every little answer. More continues to come at you as the month marches forward. Do your best to keep the pace. Though temptation does her best to lure you away from responsibility, it is best to stay honest and true.

Taurus April 20/21 to May 21/22
Take your time and the longer route. This pays off big time. No corner cutting and no quick fixes. Like dried up glue, nothing sticks when you rush through things. Skirt the issues with your closest circle so sugarcoat the truth and use rosy words when giving constructive feedback.
                               
Gemini May 21/22 to June 21/22       
Micro manage and second guess yourself all month. The big lightbulb comes on, with the answers you have been waiting for. If you can be alone and keep a cool head September 13, you save yourself a great deal of aggravation, even if it means taking a wellness day and unplugging the phone.
       
Cancer June 22/23 to July 22/23
Analyze, scrutinize and evaluate every little decision. Keep all your brilliance to yourself and stash what you don’t need for later. Say no if asked to spread yourself thin or to give your energy away for less than its true value. At the end of the month new opportunities come your way but in order to find them, you may have to hunt them down.     
           
Leo July 22/23 to August 23/24       
Any self improvement and personal growth feed the fires of your future. Think back to when things were going your way and recreate the patterns. If in relationship, plan a personal retreat just before the end of this cycle so as to avoid a blowup with your significant other. Roll up your sleeves and gets your hands on the situation.
    
Virgo August 23/24 to September 23/24
If it doesn’t feel or fit right, change it! This is no time to act diplomatically. Voice your inner feeling without sounding irrational. Your words come through with sharp vision and profound clarity. If you are in relationship, steamy communication of your innermost thoughts erupts a volcano of pleasure. Put it to good use!
    
Libra September 23/24 to October 23/24
Look to the distance to keep from freaking out over what is close at hand. Relief comes easily and out of the blue to lift the burden you have been carrying. Even if you don’t know exactly how to take the little steps to reach your intended goal, the universe magically assists you and everything works out in the end.
    
Scorpio October 23/24 to November 22/23
Your desire to retreat and regroup is not at all antisocial, but rather a much needed respite from the immense amount of energy you have been putting forth for others. Ask only those who are wiser than you for help and guidance. Take a big bite of healthy activity and wash it down with a long drink of the vital elixir full of power and peace.

Sagittarius   November 22/23 to December 21/22
Curb your spending and keep your faith. Juggle and balance your professional and personal lives delicately as neither is as important as your health and well-being. What you feel you deserve comes at the end of the cycle just before the next new moon.       

Capricorn December 21/22 to January 20/21   
Be gentle with those closest to you so as not to disrupt the applecart. Do your best to keep things cool, clam and collected rather than chaotic and frenzied. Choose the path of honesty and truth and practice relaxation at every opportunity this month.  
                           
Aquarius January 20/21 to February 18/19
Big changes unfold smoothly when you keep your cool. Stay consistent in your behavior and moods. What normally is a calming time of year for you, seems unusually hectic and full of nonsense. Be like Alice and accept the fact that you dove down this rabbit hole!
    
Pisces February 18/19 to March 19/20
It is essential that you think of yourself as number one right now. Maintaining this focus cushions the awkward energies and keeps you unscathed. A tight situation slips away with ease, so don’t fret at its onslaught. Potential for a mind-expanding change and shift in luck are on the horizon. Gamble a little when he opportunity arises as long as you focus your intention and you come out the winner.
