SEPTEMBER 2023 ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER
The signage of the August 30 -31st most powerful super moon must be something like: have a great weekend, but we’re lighting up the sky in this tight Sun Moon syzgy (alignment of opposites) as close to earth as any full super moon has beamed. The last such lunation occurred in January 2018 and this one will light up the sky for about 220, 200 miles. Only this wunderkind of a super blue full moon, boasts the additional conjunction to Saturn, whose rings may even be visible as he/it/they(?) will be almost 42 million miles closer to earth than usual.
I think I might take this more as a warning sign for what to expect in the month ahead. Oh, so does it mean the headlines may be going into expanded dark face on specific days? Yes, you may be correct. In fact you are.
In short we are and almost have, arrived at a crucial moment for the chart and identity of our own United States. Let me add before I launch, that we as a nation have a every helpful supportive angle all these weeks into next month, from Jupiter, whose early stationery to retro position, will hold up our sky.
I’ve been watching this segment of 2023 for almost a year and here’s what Ive found.
After many hours of research going back 250 years there ’s never been a moment in time whereby three harsh aspects have landed simultaneously within such a short window for America’s chart, and self. Three very harsh aspects to a person’s chart in a 3 week period, uh, not ok. Yes, we’re heading into unchartered territory, aside from thrashing hurricanes and extreme heat smashing thermometers. So let’s go.
THOUGHTS ON THIS CYCLE:
August 30 – September 2nd Late August’s blue super moon in Pisces tight with Saturn and facing off with the Virgo Sun, intensifies emotions, whether helpful or hurtful depending on specific charts. Now, as I write these words, a vicious wind is coiling itself into a funnel of rage in close approach to our southeastern shores.
Then with Uranus and Mercury turning retrograde, things are not likely to go as expected. Mercury known as the “trickster” and Uranus as his “higher octave” indicate miscommunications and calls for flexibility. Along with the week’s 7 retrograde planets’, rigid demands may just go out the window. The need to “be clear” should be the mantra for the week. While under the Virgoan health influence, questions and concerns regarding health will probably be “breaking” some news. Why not, with the all powerful Blue full moon and Saturn, in early Pisces known as Shatabishak, the 100 Physicians. Then combined with Sun’s early Virgo’s placement of service, known as Magha, nothing would surprise me regarding health matters.
September 3 -10th Venus goes direct on the 4th while Jupiter looks in the review mirror. For some that’s a bump but overall Labor Day’s Taurus moon lining up with the Virgo Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter, all nicely choreographed, should bring on a pretty copacetic Labor Day. Thank you, I’ll take it.
September 8 -10th Finally some common sense may arrive with the strong earthy Sun, Mercury in Virgo aligned with the Jupiter and Uranus in their Taurus hotel. The moon in Cancer makes it all much nicer than some of those earlier days. Another unusual piece to this month’s sky is that all 5 of the outer gods are holding still in their same or very close, degrees staying still and watching. As we should be doing.
September 11- 15th We’re now on approach to Thursday’s new moon, or anchor of destiny as I might call this one. Steady Virgo’s earthy feet on the ground partnering with Mercury’s stationery position, plants a pod of reassurance. Adding the Mars Venus on a fire and air sign date night, we might have a welcome moment of sensibility and stability. These are the days to use logic, common sense and ignore any screaming Lyons.Take advantage, no lazy postponements allowed. May I say it looks like the best time of the month!
September 18 – 25th Do you hear a siren? I do and the US body is very upset with an exact hit to its early life Father complex ( Old king George), power struggles. One side against the other. Why do they always refer to the D’s and R’s as parties? Talk about arraign on the parade? (thank you Randy Rainbow). Oh but this isn’t all. Heading towards the weekend, Saturn’s very close conjunction to our USA moon known as Sadi Sati, speaks of sadness and disappointment to US.
Therapy probably can’t help right here, although late month, Mars and Venus will try to make a happy time with perfect match to a cheerful piece of the US natal chart.
Nonetheless I think we’re in catastasis, or the third act of a Greek drama wherein the action is heightened as it moves into a sudden catastrophe.
September 26 – October 2nd There’s no hiding it, the change is here. Our natal Pluto, at 27 Capricorn, after 247 years, has returned to its birth degree at 27 Capricorn. Natal Mercury opposing it at 24 Cancer best describes our national debates and loudly voiced power abutting opinions. And here we are right now, back to stage one wherein our Declaration of Independence was signed, July 4th at 6:30 pm, Philadelphia.
Saturday’s full moon in Aries (5:20 am PDT) unwittingly lights the fire and sparks the sounds of grinding teeth. Then Sunday- Monday’s’Mars trigger finger on 21 Libra will hit the boom button close to the oncoming solar eclipse of the 14th. The important nodes of destiny and karma, now in late Aries and Libra forming the exact grand square to that Pluto Mercury geometry, will most likely emphasize the seriousness of these times. This being the 3d of the 3 aforementioned hits to our USA chart.
Coincidentally or maybe karmically, could this be related to the October first 2023 Congressional financial meeting over the budget,12 appropriation bills, and discretionary spending? The obvious concern would be that of a government shutdown and further lessening of our nation’s credit rating which slid down in early August from AAA to AA+.
The sky will be mirroring the simmering discontent down below. Will political and financial boxing gloves be distributed along with those water bottles? We shall find out soon enough. But we can have our own quiet moments that retrogrades sometimes offer, like going over prior decisions, preparing for and making use of the better days mentioned above and beyond.
Now for dessert I will hand you my take on the “better days” . Forward into mid 2025, the ingress into Gemini and Aquarius by Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus, will bring about a new era of communication, in science, technology, outer sky and galaxy discoveries out there!
Ok I’ve said what I had to say, unpleasant as some of this has been. Down below one of the 31 birthday Sun pods might be yours!
DAYS OF BEST USE: 6, 7, 8, 12, 13,14,18! 27, 28, 31
BIRTHDAYS OF NOTE:?The following birthdays are based on the very close degrees of the Sun, not only a large swath of 1-30 dates for which I could never be specific.
Normally a true birth time will provide an accurate rising sign and degree of the moon, call these the Three Majors. Then we can begin to talk true astrology. The Sun is still very significant for it represents the soul’s manifestation in the outer world, health issues and the house position gets even more specific. Planet, sign, house, is what how we begin. If you’d like to see your own chart for these details just follow the link provided.?www.astrodienst.com
