SEPTEMBER 2007 by Bob Mulligan

September is a really important month this year as we have Saturn (Lord of Karma) moving into Virgo (Sign of Analysis). Saturn only changes signs every two and a half years. We have Venus ending her six week Retrograde period, which only happens every two years. We have a Lunar Eclipse which focuses our energy. This is a time where we can focus on discovering and overcoming problems in our own behavior. This is a fantastic month for us to grow. On September 2nd, Saturn changes signs moving from Leo into Virgo. This will usher in a two and a half year time of being very productive.

Saturday, September 8th Venus turns Direct. We find that we are able to step out of ourselves and start moving forward with our emotional lives again. We have been in a time of recapitulation for the last forty days and now we are ready to drink in new experiences.

We have an Eclipse at the time of the New Moon on September 11th at 8:45am EDT. This is an important time to meditate as all New Moons are, especially if they are Eclipses. But this is especially important as we have a lot of disruption of our normal mental lives at this time. The good news is that it becomes easy to make changes in our mental habits.

The Sun enters Libra September 23rd at 5:52am EDT. This ushers in a period where it is possible to organize the emotions and to expand the heart qualities as Venus, the ruler of Libra is in Leo, the sign of the heart.

The Full Moon is September 26th at 3:46pm EDT. We need to hold the thought at this time that it is possible to be your own person and to be in a committed relationship. The stress now is on finding a personal balance.

From the 1st to the 9th we are changing gears. We find ourselves going from lazy, easy enjoyment to nervously jumping into action, then back to a more tranquil state. This is all part of the process of switching from a wondering pattern to establishing a new system of procedures. We may well have the opportunity to become more methodical and more organized.

From the 10th to the 16th we live through a period where we are attempting to balance our need for careful analysis with our desire to act on faith alone. Staying flexible allows us to mold our methods to the reality of the current situation.

Behind the violent eruptions from the 17th to the 23rd there is a larger cultural archetype working itself out. The eternal feminine and the universal masculine impulses are evolving at an accelerated pace. We are constructing a new foundation for male/female relationships. Each of us may feel a tug to be better in fulfilling our respective roles.

From the 24th to the 30th we are shifting our focus from the crystal clear exchange of ideas to our deeply subjective emotional natures. We may implement some key changes in our important relationships now.

1st - Saturday – Sun Parallel Venus – It’s a lazy and sensual day. Don’t push the river. Relax; it isn’t that hard to get done the things that have to be accomplished now.

2nd – Sunday – Saturn enters Virgo – Clarity is easier to achieve than you may think. Don’t get in your own way.

3rd – Monday – Mercury Square Pluto, Mars Square Uranus, Venus Sextile Mars, Sun Square Jupiter – Watch what you say and do now. There is violence and temperamental energy hanging in the air. If you can see the joy and express the humor of the day, it is possible to stay on the light side of things.

4th – Tuesday – Venus Quincunx Uranus – Our emotional impressions can get us in trouble today as our good and kind feelings suffer from being a little unbalanced. Be patient with yourself and everyone else.

5th – Wednesday – Mercury enters Libra then Semi-Sextiles Saturn – We strive for balance and we can achieve it in small ways if we are careful and don’t stretch beyond our limits.

6th – Thursday – Mercury Semi-square Venus – Thoughts of love and beauty encourage us to take some risks today. Be willing to try something new.

7th – Friday – Pluto turns direct, Sun Contra-parallels Uranus – Abrupt changes in circumstances and powerful desires of freedom create need for movement. Be prepared to rebalance yourself by adjusting key parts of your life. Your foundations can be made more stable now.

8th – Saturday – Venus turns Direct, Mercury Sesquiquadrate Neptune, Mars Trines Neptune – Our spirits reach for new heights and our ideals are strengthened. A new resolve can motivate action.

9th – Sunday – Sun Semi-sextile Venus, Sun Opposite Uranus – Well thought out plans can be disrupted by unforeseen interruptions. Be spontaneous in the moment and the unique opportunities can be corralled.

10th – Monday – Venus Quincunx Uranus – If you stay calm and focused on your own inner emotional responses, this is a pleasant day. Over-extension can spell trouble so know how to limit your exposure to risks.

11th – Tuesday –The New moon at 8:45am EDT is followed by Sun Contra-parallel Mercury - Avoid criticism and keep your focus on things close at hand. Make time for your meditation and inner peace will be yours.

12th – Wednesday – Sun Quincunx Neptune – Confusion and weakness stop forward progress. Your best move is to have time for quiet introspection and conversation that brings clarity. Reinforce your fundamental values and you will be able to improve your methods for achieving your key goals.

13th – Thursday – Mercury Sextile Jupiter – The truth of the current circumstances present themselves to you. Artistic expression and harmony are commanding the flow of events. Work can go very smooth and art, romance, and social life can add real sparkle to the day.

14th – Friday – Mercury Parallel Uranus – Now is the time to revise and act. New thoughts and feelings give a different perspective and unique opportunities surface. We are able to utilize many things that come our way now.

15th – Saturday – We feel serious and tend to act with a certain definiteness. Be aware that we can alienate people unintentionally by being brutally honest. Avoid deep conversations in any relationship that is important and on shaky ground, instead explore the depth of your own feelings and intentions.

16th – Sunday – Mercury Quincunx Uranus, Mercury Semi-square Saturn – There are some things that look appealing and fun but they conflict with our perceived responsibilities. We can suffer from an incorrect picture of ourselves. Relax, it is not that serious; it all clears up in a few days.

17th – Monday – Sun Square Mars, Mercury Sextile Venus – Think before acting. Impulses can get you into trouble. Arguments aren’t productive but diplomacy brings results.

18th – Tuesday – Mercury Trine Neptune – Dream big dreams. There is real potency in our thoughts today. We can have some real fun today.

20th – Thursday – Mercury Contra-parallel Venus – We can see what we want but the path to personal achievement seems far away. There is a storm brewing and other factors out of our control are about to intervene in our lives. Get closure on as many things as possible.

21st – Friday – Mars Opposite Pluto, Venus Opposite Neptune – We can easily get caught in a cross fire. Do your best to submit to something higher now. We suffer from having our ideals at odds with our behavior. This is a time for corrective action which is easy if you don’t resist the inevitable.

22nd – Saturday – Embrace the larger community of the world. We are having an experience of needing to develop trust. We have common needs and common difficulties. Problems are solvable when we work together.

23rd – Sunday – Sun enters Libra, Mercury Contra-parallel Saturn – It is only through a sense of community that we are able to deal effectively with limitations imposed by the circumstances of our lives.

24th – Monday – Mercury Sextile Pluto – A gentle approach to deep problems renders solid results. Be willing to do what it takes to change course when you find yourself wavering from your chosen goal.

25th – Tuesday – Surprising turns of events make today interesting but also potentially shocking. Big jumps can bring difficulties. Don’t let your reach exceed your grasp.

26th – Wednesday – Sun Semi-sextile Saturn, Mercury Semi-square Jupiter, Mercury Trine Mars, We have the Full Moon at 3:46pm EDT – We are carried away by the feeling that we need to get everything done right now. Much can be completed but other people have to be involved in order to achieve practical results.

27th – Thursday – Mercury enters Scorpio, Sun Sesquiquadrate Neptune – Our ideals can seem far removed from everyday life. We work over-time to have a stronger sense of ourselves. It is a nice day for artistic expression.

28th – Friday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Uranus, Mars enters Cancer – This is a good day for problem solving but keep actions to the ordinary and routine. We tend to be overly emotional and run into others who have strong opinions.

29th – Saturday – Slow, steady progress takes us where we need to go today. Relish the unhurried pace and the ease with which simple tasks come to closure.

30th – Sunday – Mercury Parallel Neptune – If you are really careful as to the way you are processing information now, brilliant insight can emerge during discussions or when writing. We are in a most idealistic mood.
