September 2016
Time moves in one direction, taking us on an amazing ride
across the universe. It’s a journey that seems to speed up
with every passing year.
It’s a bumper issue this month, with two eclipses, Jupiter
changing signs and the Libra Equinox. The month kicks off
with a dramatic Solar eclipse at 9 Virgo that opposes planet
of mystery Neptune. At the same time Virgo’s ruling planet
Mercury has just stationed retrograde and is making a very
tight conjunction to expansive Jupiter. What does this mean
for us here on planet Earth? Jupiter is about to shift into Li-
bra, so this conjunction in late Virgo, will prove interesting.
This Month…

Solar Eclipse cont...
Jupiter is not comfortable in Virgo, while
Mercury is very much at home. Mercury
is stationary, while Jupiter is moving
quickly. Jupiter and Mercury are very
much at odds with one another, ruling
mutable signs that square and oppose
one another, so this eclipse will have a
number of potentially disruptive effects.
Be prepared for some last minute changes.
Jupiter is associated with the big picture and
tends to see the ‘forest’ and the overall purpose
of things. Mercury on the other hand, is naturally
focused on the ‘trees’. While in Virgo, and sta-
tionary, we could say that Mercury is intensely
examining ‘twigs and leaves’. With Mercury and
Jupiter in Virgo we could become totally ob-
sessed with things that have no importance, and
make a really big deal out of our very small
agendas. This is a useful eclipse for attending to
matters that have been bothering us. We now
have the focus to deal with anything that’s been
in the too hard basket. But added uncertainty
from Neptune will make us think twice before
taking action, as we may be confused about our

priorities, or our perspective may be warped.
Slowing things down is probably a good option
since Mercury will be retrograde for three weeks
from now, so we have an opportunity to retrace
our steps and untangle any messy situations that
need a tidy up or reorganisation. This is an ex-
cellent time for a pre-spring clean, rearranging
the pantry or weeding out general annoyances.
The eclipse path crosses central Africa, Mada-
gascar and the Indian Ocean. Since Neptune is
now ‘full’ it’s possible that this eclipse may shed
light on what happened to flight MH370 that
vanished two and a half years ago in this region.

Lunar Eclipse-Pisces Full Moon
A number of factors suggest this lunar
eclipse is a major awakening. The
Moon is closely tied to Chiron,
boosting emotional strength and
wisdom. This combination suggests
soul healing at a very deep level.
Pisces is associated with forgiveness,
empathy and universal love.
That being said, the tight square to Mars
could upset the apple cart. Angry outbursts
could get in the way of amicable relations.
It’s worth mentioning that much of the strife
in the world this year is a manifestation of the
conjunction of Eris (goddess of strife and dis-

cord) with radical Uranus in Aries, but this pair are
now in a comfortable trine with Mars, (Aries ruler)
which will help us express ourselves creatively and
honestly. Mars is not as disempowered and frustrat-
ed as he has been over the past few months. This
waning Mars square to Sol is a time for Mars to re-
gain energy, grow up and accept responsibility.
Venus in Libra is sextile Mars, so she will stand by
him, boosting his confidence. Jupiter has just
slipped into Libra too, which augurs well for harmony
and fair play in our dealings, fostering consensus
and peaceful resolutions. Jupiter is about to start a
new solar cycle, so wise heads should prevail.

Libra Equinox
The Sun and Jupiter are together in
Libra, making this an optimistic and
happy ingress. Balance, fairness and
harmony are high on the agenda.
Looking to Venus, Libra’s ruling
planet, we see she is sextile Mars
and the stellar lovers are heading
towards one another. This augurs well for
communication and relationships of all kinds.
Mercury turns direct just before this ingress,
aligning with the North Node of the Moon.
This highlights what we need to discuss and
what we may have misheard, or misunder-
stood. This is a good time to clear the air.
Consistent with the overall stellar picture this
year, we have very little in the way of fixed
energy, only Ceres and Juno are in fixed
signs now. The excess of mutable and cardi-
nal themes is keeping us on our toes. There is
a lot of movement and change this year and
many promises are being made. But deliver-
ing them can be extra challenging as our
staying power and concentration is constantly be-
ing tested and interrupted.
The last quarter is always a busy time of the year as
we try to complete projects. This year looks set to
be especially frantic. Without much in the way of
fixed energy, we will continue to be hit by the bar-
rage of external stimuli and various disruptions.
The versatile Gemini Moon squares Chiron and op-
poses the midpoint of Mars and Saturn, asking us
to examine our emotional investment in what we
are doing and the commitments we have made.
This may mean making some big adjustments to
our schedule to find the work-life balance we need.
Saying no is always an option, but not easy at times
like these. The Saturn-Neptune square has been
draining. If tired or depressed it can be a symptom
of an underlying malaise. If weary of the world, we
should endeavour to focus on uplifting messages
and the beauty of nature. Jupiter and the Sun in
Libra will help us decide our priorities and restore
balance and harmony.
