Friday 9/29/23--Libra full moon

First full moon of autumn. Sun in Libra, love seeking harmony, activated (with Mars), Moon full in Aries, personal passion (amplified by Venus in Leo), healing self emerging (with Chiron). 

Physical nature is empowered (Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, Pluto in Capricorn). Tender sensitivity is reinforced (Saturn and Neptune in Pisces). All outer planets are retrograde (heavy), building deep new potential. 

A new year in fertility has begun. We will move through the test of winter toward a new spring of flowering expression. 

Saturday 9/23/23--Libra/autumn

Sun into Libra, autumn in the north, sunset for the year. Our planet at the balance point, tipping toward evening, seeking harmony.

This year Moon is in earthy Capricorn, the grounded nature power at the bottom of our seasonal cycle.

A fresh start in the land of love.

Friday 9/22/23--equinox

Last day of summer, in earthy Virgo, wrapping up old business. Moon at low ebb in Sagittarius, rebounding in constructive Capricorn 1:21pm PDT. Sun at equinox, days and nights equal everywhere, into loving Libra/autumn, 11:50pm PDT. 

Thursday 9/14/23--Virgo new moon

Last new moon of summer (6:39pm PDT). Sun and Moon meet in practical Virgo, completing the harvest, getting things in order, ready for a new year in flowering fertility.

Planets in all three earth signs ground us in physical nature (Virgo new moon, Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, Pluto in Capricorn), mind backing to a stop amidst it (Mercury ends retrograde 9/15), moving forward from here. Peak passion supports us (Venus in Leo), harmony-seeking leads the way (Mars in Libra). Deep feeling anchors as in tender sensitivity (Saturn and Neptune in Pisces). Healing self is emerging (Chiron in Aries).

Soon we move into autumn renewal (Sun into Libra 9/23), a fresh start in the land of love.
