See my website http://www.carolbarbeau.com for more articles on your month
Use Sapphires and Aquamarine to keep you on your path this month. For those of you who need grounding and centering, how about picking up some black tourmaline, jet, or obsidian? These will center you into manifesting and completing goals.
The Colors for September are Gray and Navy blue and until the 22nd of this month, which will be the Fall Equinox we are officially still in the SOUTH or the time of summer. IT is not only time to get going, it seems mandatory that we do so doesn’t it?
The animal totems right now are the Coyote and the Brown Bear, giving us both cunning and strength and courage. 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 obstacles.
We sill have the sun in Practical Virgo (keywords I analyze) this month until the 22nd when we have the AUTUMNAL EQUINOX and the sun enters the air sign of Libra (keyword I balance). Expect relationships to be filled with lessons this month as Mercury moves retrograde in the Relationship sign of Libra on the 24th of September through October 15th.
The sign of Libra is about balance but with our ears and lives still ringing with the changes in the sky, 7 planets retrograde and a strong sense that the world is changing balance may be in short supply. IF you must, confront others, please do it gently as Jupiter the planet of SUPERSIZING and sometimes excess moves Direct in Capricorn on the 7th followed by Pluto the planet of transformation on the 8th.
When planets (the big ones at least) begin to move forward we feel the urge to get going, do something, anything and some rough aspects this month may have you looking outwards for your answers rather than inwards where the answers truly are for you.
We will be entering the shadow point of Mercury retrograde on September 3rd so in truth this whole month of September 2008 is a time of Really double checking information. Our temptation during Mercury rx. In Libra is let go of people. Instead my personal advice to you is to let go of Attitude towards your personal response towards people instead, and see if that does not clear much of the problem. If not, then so be it.
We have A great deal of Forward energy as JUPITER the planet of SUPERSIZING our beliefs and Pluto pushing us a bit as they move direct. So, we should Expect lots of action, and a very powerful desire for transformation and to have more in our lives.
Saturn (the planet of discipline, duty and obligation) is setting up for a long opposition (3 years) with Uranus the planet of change in the sign of Pisces. The lesson during this time is to dream your own future, to reach towards what you want and to really try and LET GO OF CONTROL of others. An opposition is a position of balance, as one planet alone cannot seem to work well without the other. Duty and hard work opposing dreams and visions, wow what a recipe for Success this one will be for us all.
The urge towards Perfection is strong this month and perfection? Well, expectations are the road to many things but our expectations are rarely met by others. Rather, instead how about working towards finding work which gives you joy and also maybe being open to reconnecting to your own personal dreams with this Saturn, Uranus Opposition.
The Full Harvest moon September 15th brings relationship issues forwards with some
Illusion added with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Dreamy Pisces, Look for facts to be
A bit confused over the next 2 weeks. But confusion and NOT knowing are often the key to
Really being open to something new. Our theme for the last 2 years has been to do something you have never done before to have something you have never had before and this energy increases this month.
The dark of the moon magical days this month are the 26th, 27th and 28th. There are lots of practical Virgo energy on those days so these are perfect times to sit down and begin to create your next step, or the plans for your next step. Dark of the moon is magic wish time but not a good time for beginning new projects. If you can wait until.
The New moon on September 29th with the sun and Moon at 6 degrees 33 minutes of Libra
You are going to see things will be much clearer and you could just get some assistance from others with your plan. New moons are seed planting times and finally things will begin to make a bit more sense by the First of October.
This NEW MOON in the relationship sign of Libra, asks again that we look First at our relationship with self, and begin with loving self and Acceptance of self, and then this energy should hopefully help you avoid any problems during Mercury retrograde. On the 30th and 31st as Rosh Hashanah begins and we have the moon in powerful Scorpio through October 3rd, our ability to look inwards and find answers within our wise and ancient souls greatly increases.
I always honor Rosh Hashanah as another New Year but unlike our popular belief of a NEW beginning type of New Year here in the United States. I use this Jewish New year in the way it has been used from ancient times as a time for introspection. It is for me a time of looking back at the past year and planning the changes I intend to make in the new year. To me this time each year is my Purge the old and reconnect to source and revise and repair whatever needs changing in my life so Mercury retrograde during this time is indeed perfect this year.
Mercury retrograde for me is reconnect, repair, replan, review, reappraise, and anything with a RE does great and that fits perfectly with Rosh Hashanah on the 30th. Mercury retrograde is not the time for a marriage unless it is Remarriage, or to begin a new business or sign a contract for the first time. I believe that we get little enough time to connect to our inner sense of knowing and usually use this time for centering into myself and my life path and my mission on this planet.
HAPPY August and September 2008 and Enjoy yourself and begin a NEW Relationship with Yourself this year. One of joy, love, unconditional acceptance and see how This changes your whole world. http://www.carolbarbeau.com or e mail carolastro@carolbarbeau.com for free astrology articles and to sign up for her free daily astrology.
