*********New Moon in Libra********** 11:14 p.m. PST-Tuesday -- Sept. 23rd 2:14 a.m. EST - Wednesday -- Sept. 24th ___________________________________________________________ A busy astrological week. Yesterday Monday 22nd, right on the Fall Equinox, Pluto ended its 5 month retrograde. Pluto is back, which means transformation is to come with its energies of changes. _____________________________________________________________ Libra new Moon is a new beginning, with balancing energies added to new Autumn season. ____________________________________________________________ Thursday Sept. 25th Uranus trines with Jupiter, a needed shot of energy for Uranus, to keep this planet's (Uranus) energies positive. ____________________________________________________________ Then on Saturday Sept. 27th Mercury enters Scorpio. It will be aspecting this sign for 2 weeks. This marks the end of the Mercury/Venus aspect. ___________________________________________________________ So dear reader, what does all that mean to us mere humans you may ask? Pluto is an intense planet, it has been on a sort of 'holiday' shall we say and now is back renewed, filled to the brim with energies of transformation, and as far as naysayers, and prophets of doom see it, it will happen in politics, social lives and the economy (ugh..) but then again, isn't that happening already? yes, but Pluto 'intensifies' all that to the point of crisis (or so the naysayers are saying). When it comes to everyday life, for us humdrum and ordinary people, living our lives to the best of our individual ability, the impact of all those planetary energies might hit us with changes we don't want to happen. Money being scarce and maybe the city council of your town, is not doing anything worthwhile for the community. Over all making you think your tax money is not being put to use where it matters, etc. ___________________________________________________________ Add to that the intensity of Scorpio being aspected by Mercury the communicator of the planets. This means feelings are intensified. Family or friends might feel the sting of Scorpio more than you or yourself, could feel pent up emotions rising to the surface and making things a bit uncomfortable for all around. It all depends really to what degree we feel all these energies flying around and how we verbalize or act out on it. Fear not dear reader! for there is always something good coming out of the seemingly doomed energies for this week.<b> Uranus trined by Jupiter means, that we get to see the funny in things :=) and are reminded for the trillion time that even in the worst of situations, we can rely on our inner sense of humor to make it all more bearable. __________________________________________________________ Plus we are told by the same naysayers that even though Mercury's aspect to Scorpio brings too much intensity, it also helps to boost projects, and it even helps to put to good use those 'secret' strategies (like the one about calling in sick, but really just wanting to take the day off, etc :=) ___________________________________________________________ So dear reader the gist of it all and the little nugget of wisdom I can leave for you, is that no matter what is going on out there in the far away galaxy, with the Moon and the Sun and the assorted planets. We live here in this reality of sorts. We have to make do with the little tools we have and make the best of it. Always striving for balance and with the energies of Libra plus the beautiful Autumn season here with us at last, who knows what lovely things might happen. _________________________________________________________ Happy Autumn & BB! *M*
