An online ephemeris for the month is available.
The waves are much easier to surf this month than they've been for some time. No screaming Koz Alerts and big storms to handle. If anything, things are a bit too quiet. The waveform has a disorganized look to it most of the time, a hint that planets are affecting us separately and not in large groups. The noisier harmonics (H24 and above) tend to create distractions and prevent our concentrating on any one thing for long, but at least we are spared the major blowouts of more organized storms. Keep your expectations on the moderate end of the scale -- it helps you avoid taking frustrations personally. Frankly, months like this are welcome from time to time. Looking at the waveforms, I'd divide the month up into roughly 4 major energy patterns. However, the transitions between them are subtle and it's hard to pinpoint the exact dates of the changes.
Sep 1st to the 6th |
The 1st to the 6th is more of a "sideways drifting action" than a mild storm -- moderate, rudderless energy that never quite takes off. The waveform varies in strength from 357 to 459 units of strength -- a pretty gentle current. The harmonics are mostly H24, H12, and H36 -- somewhat difficult, but not bad if you take it in an easy-going fashion. A number of areas in the zodiac are particularly sensitive to this energy, namely 7-8, 26-28 and 13 degrees of each zodiac sign. Check your own birthchart to see if these active degrees coincide with any of your natal planets. There are two main planetary patterns at work this week. First of all, we're seeing the beginning of the Jupiter-Neptune opposition, which is active all month. They are being activated by the Sun, Moon and Mercury, making us aware of this sublime influence on many levels. Jupiter is still getting used to being in Leo and this fiery energy has been challenged several times already. Neptune tends to soften this fire down to a warm glow. It also makes it harder for the individual ego to hold forth, since Neptune is very impersonal in its action. You may feel dreamy and upbeat, inclined to optimism and enthusiasm. Just remember that with Neptune, things aren't always as they seem (he's a master of illusion), so keep your eyes open. The other pattern is a Grand Trine of Venus, Uranus and Saturn in air signs. This is good for stirring up relationships, letting some fresh approaches revitalize them. You'll know you're on the right track if a heavy, deadening feeling gives way to a more light hearted mood. A sense of having fun is a good barometer for partnerships now.
Sep 7th to the 13th |
The 7th to the 13th is a quiet transition period between bigger patterns. The waveform cools off in intensity slightly, down to the 336 to 433 range. The harmonics are a complex and ever shifting combination of H24, H48, H12 and H36 -- perhaps a bit harder to handle than the previous week. Numerous degrees are emphasized at one time or another during this period, including 8-9, 24-27, 0-1 and 13-14 degrees. Many shifts in direction are happening at once, starting with the new lunar month on the 6th. The new moon triggers a somewhat harsh pattern that also includes Venus and Pluto. As Venus moves into Scorpio on the 7th, relationships move from the light hearted to a more somber and deep tone. Emotional depth is the main theme, although with Pluto (just past its direct station of Aug 26) active, this could take you deeper than you expected. Mainly though, the Jupiter-Neptune contact is exact on the 11th, supported by Mars and the Moon. Mars adds a little tension to the laid back opposition, creating a curious undertone to the energy. It's hard to get anything done right now, so savor the energy and prepare for the next period.
Sep 14th to the 24th |
The 14th to the 24th is the main powerhouse of the entire month. The waveform strengthens in intensity considerably, moving in the 351 to 496 unit region, almost a Koz Alert. The harmonics are mostly H24 and H12, with a little noise now and then -- this is a very challenging storm. The peaks emphasize two main areas, 8-13 and 24-27 degrees of each zodiac sign. This storm picks up quickly, reaching full power on the 17th and remaining quite active until the 22nd. It starts out with the Sun, Moon and Venus kicking the opposition into overdrive. Some of the illusions related to the opposition may be apparent, particularly where other people are involved with your dreams and plans. Conflict now is a sign to change your course; taking it out on the other person is pointless. The full moon on the 21st is square Saturn, starting out the next two weeks on a demanding note. The Mars-Pluto square on the 22nd is also a clue to tread lightly around others -- a blow-up of some kind is quite probable. Be disciplined in the way you express your power and emotions -- it works out much better that way.
Sep 25th to the end of the month |
The 25th to the end of the month is another weak transition time. The waveform drops off into the 321-414 unit range -- no planetary "oomph!" here! The harmonics are a difficult combination of H48, H24 and H4 -- no reprieve for us now. What little focus there is in these energies occurs at 10-15, 4-6 and 26-27 degrees. Basically, there's nothing going on the last week of the month. That translates into no tailwind for us on earth and our activities. When the waves are calm, it's best to float along -- paddling takes too much energy. Relax and recharge your batteries. By the 30th, the waveform is picking up again, leading into a huge October storm. Time to get yourself ready for the next blow...
