This is a very special month. Since May -when everything came to a complete standstill-, through the Summer Solstice in June, through the 3 portal/eclipses in July and August, we went through gigantic shifts, so huge that we may not even recognize our lives anymore. People, locations, jobs, our financial situation may all have radically changed. The separation between those who are truly doing their inner homework and are thriving to develop their light and those who are not of that same consciousness has become very obvious in the past few months. And as those of us who are choosing consciousness and true spiritual growth are expanding, becoming lighter and lighter, our lives are also becoming more and more synchronistic with miracles occurring left and right. Still difficult times ahead but with the assurance that the light is at the end of the tunnel.

BEWARE HOWEVER OF SEPTEMBER 15. AROUND THAT DATE A MAJOR FINANCIAL CRASH IS LIKELY TO OCCUR!

Being forewarned should mean being forearmed. If enough of us are conscious, we may be able to lessen for ourselves the consequences.

Mercury is retrograde between Sunday 9/6 and Tuesday 9/29 between 6º13’ Libra and 21º38’ Virgo.

We are being asked to reorganize our lives, putting order in our papers, reexamining our health, nutrition, getting on a good exercise program. Pets may demand our attention as do our work and relationships with co-workers as well as people who serve us in one way or another. Our romantic relationships are also under the radar. How do we achieve harmony, how do we complete each other, enrich one another? What does “marriage” mean to us personally? How do we truly journey with another without relinquishing our own sense of identity? What do we do in our daily lives to enhance peace? As we are able to answer all those questions for ourselves, our life falls into place in a whole new dimension.

Jupiter continues to be retrograde this whole month between 19º53’ and 17º27’ Aquarius.

The Sabian symbols for these three degrees are: “a large white dove bearing a message”, “a forest fire is being subdued by the use of water, chemicals and sheer muscular energy”, and “a man’s secret motives are being publicly unmasked”. Whoever is hiding behind lies, is in anger, has fear in his/her heart or resorts to manipulation will fall. This is the time where those “who are” separate from those “who are not”. False prophets cannot continue to pretend being what they’re not and only those who truly walk their talk with integrity will thrive and blossom into the light. This is a time where we need to make very clear choices based on living love.

Uranus continues to be retrograde this whole month between 25º54’ and 26º30’ Virgo.

These 2 degrees are symbolized by “a boy with a censer serves the priest near the altar” and “a group of aristocratic ladies meet ceremonially at a court’s function”. As we integrate more and more our uniqueness and express our individuality in freedom, we are also surrendering to higher rules. Our personal journey towards enlightenment is bringing us closer to the truth of our divine nature. As we allow the divine within and without to guide our freewill, our lives become easier and lighter.

Neptune is still retrograde this whole month between 24º41’ and 24º01’ Aquarius.

This degree is represented by “a butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed”. Our divinity is also in our imperfection. What matters most is not necessarily the destination, but the journey towards enlightenment.

Pluto which had been retrograde since April 4, turns direct on September 11 at 0º39’ Capricorn.

This degree is symbolized by “an Indian chief claims power from the assembled tribe”. Now is the time to truly stand in our power. There is no ego arrogance if we do this with love, clarity, courage and inner strength.

Our Intentional Meditation

Our intentional meditation begins on Friday 9/4

Take as many blank sheets as you will have intentions and place them out (on a balcony, near a window or in a garden) to be charged by the Full Moon in Pisces at 9:03 AM. Once that exact moment has passed, gather your sheets and place them in a folder until the next New Moon.

On Friday 9/18 at 11:44 AM

take out your Full Moon charged papers and write one intention per sheet, making sure it is positive and concise. Place your papers out to be activated by the New Moon in Virgo. Once that exact moment has passed, staple your sheets together, write the date and put them away, expecting a miracle.

************************

Thursday 9/3: Mercury Square Mars (9:19 AM)

Our temper could be easily triggered today. Best to think before we react as any spontaneous response would come from our ego creating sudden separations and much chaos. Conflicts and anger are transmuted only by love and compassion.

Sunday 9/6: Mercury turns retrograde (9:45 PM till September 29 6:14 AM)

Kindly refer to the opening paragraph. Be particularly careful today. Miscommunications, lost keys, car or computer problems, erased messages, misplaced papers... might be more the norm than the exception. Avoid installing new software or starting a new venture. During the next three weeks, our minds work a little backwards. Old friends may resurface. We may be drawn to revisiting places we have already been to and having there a completely new experience.

Friday 9/11: Venus Opposition Jupiter (0:54 AM), Pluto turns direct (9:55 AM)

Our understanding and use of our power is clearer. We are not afraid of asserting our truth. Communication, encounters with authority and/or sexual issues can now be resolved in the light of the deeper understanding of what we really stand for. Today more specifically, we need to be cautious not to squander our financial resources. Any lack of discipline, self-indulgence, laziness, misplaced sensuality or extravagance could have long-term consequences that prove difficult.

Tuesday 9/15: Saturn Opposition Uranus (5:50 AM), Venus Opposition Neptune (2:37 PM)

Today could be particularly brutal for our money!!! Be VERY careful. Beware of any investment in the stock market as many financial structures could collapse suddenly. Lots of illusions will be exposed today. Lies and betrayals will become obvious. The facades crumble revealing a reality very different from what it appeared to be.

Thursday 9/17: Sun Opposition Uranus (2:42 AM), Mercury Square Pluto (4:50 AM), Sun Conjunct Saturn (11:22 AM), Mercury enters Virgo (8:26 PM till October 9)

During the next month, our thinking is more practical, detailed and organized. We seek order. We need clarity of purpose and to focus on our goals. Today more specifically, unexpected, unstable and depressing circumstances. Not good to enter any form of partnership. Business endeavors do not develop as planned. We could experience difficulties in our relationships. We need to be very aware of our motives and be cautious of the possibility of manipulations.

Sunday 9/20: Sun Conjunct Mercury (3:05 AM), Venus enters Virgo (6:32 AM till October 14), Venus Trine Pluto (7:56 PM)

The next 3 weeks are marked emotionally by practical considerations. We need our relationships to stand the test of reality. We may need to reassess what they mean to us and how they either hinder or enhance our daily lives. Today more specifically, our communications are open and sunny. We express clearly what we have to say thus creating new opportunities in our lives. A great night for a passionate date either with someone new or an existing partner. We are able to share a rare depth of emotion and profoundly understand the true nature of our inner soul connection with another as well as effortlessly transform old behavioral patterns that have kept us from experiencing a greater sense of intimacy.

Tuesday 9/22: Sun enters Libra (2:19 PM till October 22)

The next month’s focus is on harmony, peace and beauty. We could be more interested in art, colors, music and decoration. Our relationships take the forefront as we want them to be enriching and positive. Our exchanges with others should be more diplomatic. We seek more equilibrium between the various aspects of our personal lives.

Wednesday 9/23: Sun Square Pluto (7:21 AM), Mercury opposition Uranus (8:37 AM)

Financial investments are not encouraged today. Relationships could suffer from power games leading to impulsive breaks. The obstacles encountered today test our courage and maturity.
Beware of hidden dangers both in our careers and domestic circumstances.

Tuesday 9/29: Mercury turns direct (6:14 AM)

Communication becomes more direct today. We face the future reassured and are clearer on our real motivations.

Wednesday 9/30: Mercury Sextile Mars (11:02 PM)

We mean what we say and say what we mean. A great day to assert our truth and be very forward in expressing ourselves. Good for making those phone calls and connecting with people who can support our ideas. Many new doors are likely to open today.

Wishing you all the best.

In Loving Light.
