SEPTEMBER
2003 by Bob Mulligan
We spend much of September sorting out confusion arising from activities occurring in the last week. However, this isn't a passive time of digesting and mentally arranging past experiences. On the contrary, new experiences force new solutions. New information gives us access to new strategies.
Mars (energy) and Mercury (our mental life) are both retrograde at the beginning of September and both turn direct during the second half of the month. This shows that we come into the month with issues that can be positively resolved. Solutions require attention to our circumstances and a willingness to change. You will notice almost everyone will change his or her mind about at least one important issue (Mercury). Also note, what you really want (Mars) may be different by the end of September.
The FULL MOON on the 10th shows that we are forced to make compromises. Circumstances are powerful; we all tend to feel conflicted. Deep underlying conflicts over values emerge and can be resolved. When you think about something you bring it one step closer to manifestation; meditate in order to get deeper insight. Think about what you can contribute toward improving world conditions.
The NEW MOON on the 25th is a time of starting over and an opportunity to recalibrate our demands on ourselves and on life. During the next lunar month much can be accomplished. The key to success now is to limit the scope of our desire to expand. Extend your energy incrementally over the next two weeks.
1st - Monday - We can hardly catch up with ourselves. The importance of last weekend and the intense energy will be with us for a while.
2nd - Tuesday - This is a day of reorganization. Dealing with obstacles creatively requires attention to our feelings. When we want to change, we can.
3rd - Wednesday - Sun Sextile Saturn and Quincunx Neptune. Opportunity to make gains exist, but we have to keep our feet on the ground in order to materialize them.
4th - Thursday - Enjoy the pleasant surroundings today. People can be unusually kind and helpful. The key is knowing how to ask for what you want.
5th - Friday - Saturn Quincunx Neptune and Venus Square Pluto. It's easy for discipline to evaporate and for emotions to get stirred up. Focus on one thing at a time and keep your attention on what you are doing.
6th - Saturday - Our spirits lift. Details make or break the day. Stay focused on one thing and it is easier to discern the truth.
7th - Sunday - Mars Opposite Jupiter. We get a second chance to go for something that we really want. Being practical and specific is very helpful in bringing our actions to a positive outcome.
8th - Monday - Mercury Conjunct Venus. Modest goals are obtainable now and it is possible to improve relationships. All this requires careful, thoughtful, and practical words.
9th - Tuesday - Driving passions can carry us to great heights today. Many around us seem to charge forward with no boundaries. Some caution may be a good idea.
10th - Wednesday - Sun and Moon Square Pluto then at 4:35am EDT we have the FULL MOON at 17 degrees Pisces. Later in the day the Sun Conjuncts Mercury. Bad attitudes can create havoc today. Focus on the achievable by addressing your own ungovernable emotions.
11th - Thursday - Mercury Square Pluto. Compulsive thoughts can create difficulties. Channel emotions into some productive activity.
12th - Friday - Venus Sesquiquadrate Neptune and Mercury parallel Venus. We are charming when we stay close to our true hearts desire.
13th - Saturday - Settle down and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
14th - Sunday - Sun Parallels Mercury. Uranus retrogrades back into Aquarius.
Words and actions correctly aligned and supporting each other are a powerful combination today.
15th - Monday - Venus Quincunxes Uranus, Venus enters Libra. Unexpected influences can bring sharp turns in the road. New people, circumstances, and issues bring old themes to our attention.
16th - Tuesday - Venus Quincunx Mars. We look to our higher ideals to bring us insight into our relationships.
17th - Wednesday - Love is in the air and it is possible to have something new come into your life.
18th - Thursday - Sun Sesquiquadrate Neptune. Logical analysis is difficult. Progress is achieved now by following immediate impulses.
19th - Friday - Venus Semi-sextile Jupiter. Bridging the gap between your life and others around you is possible now.
20th- Saturday - Mercury turns direct and Sun contra-parallels Venus. We spin around on an insight. It's time to change directions and methods.
21st - Sunday - Domestic life is pressing in on us today. Deal with the details as they emerge today.
22nd - Monday - Sun Quincunx Uranus. Inspiration comes to us and the mundane circumstances of life can be transmogrified.
23rd - Tuesday - Sun enters Libra then Quincunxes Mars. We have arrived at the autumnal equinox, the first day of fall. Past mistakes come to the surface and are seen clearly. The big question is do we have the power to change ourselves.
24th - Wednesday - Venus Trines Neptune. Real harmony and creativity are possible now. Try letting your imagination grow freely today.
25th - Thursday - Venus Square Saturn. The NEW MOON at 11:10 PM at 2 Degrees Libra. Love and fear can get in each other's way. Best to express yourself honestly and with limited exposure.
26th - Friday - A genuinely light and social day. It is possible to come up with something better right now.
27th - Saturday - Mars turns direct and Venus Sesquiquadrates Uranus. Suddenly circumstances change. It can be like waking up after a long sleep. Important interchanges teach us about our capacity to relate.
28th - Sunday - Mercury Squares Pluto. Fresh insights can drive us deeper in a direction we are already going.
29th - Monday - Mercury Contra-parallels Venus. Venus Sextiles Pluto. A new way is possible now. We have options that we can put into action.
30th - Tuesday - Sun Semi-sextile Jupiter. A lift in activities and a heightening of circumstances is possible now. Real advancement is incremental and luck only flows as a natural by-product of diligent work.
