Don't hide love.
If you feel it, express it–
not to demand that others love you back,
but simply to live outwardly
the best of what you feel inwardly.
The worst that can happen to
your heart is not rejection by another person,
but failure to act on the love you feel."
– Martha Beck, author of The Joy Diet

SEPTEMBER 2007
Astrology Overview

September 2007 the time of sacred connection to ourselves and possible sacred soul connections with love to others if you are open to trusting and allowing love into your life.

The wheel of the year turns this month to the time of fall, on the 23rd. For us all It is now time to really look at processes begun in our lives and With Saturn the planet of obligation, duty, and grit into VIRGO for the first time in 29 years on the 2nd we have no choice but to look at what is working for us and what we are really willing to put our energy into building over this next year. SATURN into VIRGO is a big deal and shifts so many things upon this planet that by this time next year you will feel you have a NEW and better you happening.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRGO and LIBRA

See my web site http://www.carolbarbeau.com for more articles on your month.

September is a 9 month in a number 9 year which makes it for us all an 18 or 9 month of endings in order to create new space for the new cycle coming.

For stones I would suggest that we use Sapphires and Aquamarine to keep us on our path this month. And for that releasing which may be a bit harder than we like right now let’s use the stones which allow us to let go more easily which are Topaz which assists the forgiveness process so we can let go. Plume Agate, which assists with releasing and gently letting go to rebirth the future which is what we are in the process of doing now ready or not.

The Colors for September are Gray and Navy blue which is the colors of summer and healing and the gray reminds us that nothing is really Black or white. The color blue is about your own truth and until the 23rd of this month, when the sun enters LIBRA 2:52am PDT and we enter the time of the WEST and the time of Fall 2007.

The animal totems right now are the Coyote and the Brown Bear, giving us both cunning and strength and courage as we end summer 2007 and begin to finish up this number 9 year of endings. On the 22nd with the Autumnal Equinox we enter the time of the West and fall, and then the Raven (messenger) arrives along with the Grizzly bear so we can more easily search out hidden things and have the courage to confront and overcome all obstacles.

Labor Day on September 3rd brings a Last quarter moon and some really good information on letting go of that which no longer works. Pluto the planet of transformation moving Direct at the center of the Galaxy 27 Sagittarius on the 7th is followed by Venus the planet of what we want moving forward at 16 Leo. The last 2 months have been about the questions and September 2007 takes us finally into the answers. Or at least the answer as to what we need to be working on and we will finally begin to really get moving onwards.

Please read about the balsamic or dark of the moon on my web site and use the 9th and 10th which are TRULY magical days before the NEW MOON SOLAR eclipse on the 11th.

On the 11th at 5:44am PDT we have a NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE at 18 degrees of Virgo... New moons each month set up an HUGE opportunity for growth and creates energy of INCREASE, and solar eclipses seem to block the present and allow us to see more clearly backwards to understand our truest intentions before we got the idea that we could or should not do this or that. So Solar eclipse give us a look at the next 6 months at what needs to be done, Virgo is about the facts, so expect a great deal of information to come through dreams.

The energy of Change (the planet Uranus) is in Pisces sitting in OPPOSITION to Virgo helping us to pull the facts into the dream. Uranus the planet of change is moving retrograde (backwards) all month allowing us to access even more past lives, past beliefs and whatever in order to be more able to LET them go or build upon them if they are still appropriate in our lives.

The sun (the light) in Virgo until the 23rd when it moves to Libra asks us to get that plan and work on the details and Saturn moving to Virgo on the 2nd will assist us to do the work involved in building that which resonates with our heart. Venus direct surely will pull us into the Leo or heart centered energy even more.

THE FULL HARVEST Moon on the 26th with the Moon in Aries (GO FOR IT) and the sun in Libra is surely more social and more willing to get out and meet those new folks so all of the above can happen. 

On the 23rd the Autumnal equinox (FALL BEGINS) and the sun to Libra even more intensifies and further sets the stage for relationship openings of all the positive kinds. Libra is Cardinal air, meaning it seeks out and encounters ideas and communication in order to create relationships. How about using this and get ready for a year of bringing love into all that you do and all those around you.

Next month will bring our last Mercury retrograde in Water (emotions) but for this month I want you to look at the questions which you have asked of yourself and others during the last 60 days and realize that Venus retrograde has given you the gift of some real answers if you just recognize that with the questions we truly get the answers.

RELATIONSHIPS are hot right now and if you wish to build a life of love, please use this month to encounter, attract, and be open to all that is fun and joyful. We have some work coming and shifts and changes and none of us need to build the future alone. Those who will assist you are there, …there is the new Academy of spirit, new Bluebird groups popping up, and those who wish to share and help you everywhere. You just have to be willing to accept the help and have a desire to change what is no longer working for you.

And you also have a DIVINE connection to joy and love and it is your divine right if you are just brave enough to go for it: I wish you love, joy, peace and all good things. We are all getting ready for some really exciting opportunities RIGHT now…, so keep a positive approach and BE OPEN
