Lunations - Trends for All Signs

NEW MOON occurs on September 8, 2010 at 06:29:50 AM EDST
This New Moon conjoins the Sun in Virgo and this conjunction makes no major aspects to the traditional planets in this lunation chart. The radiance of the Sun and the deep subconscious power of the Moon can stir inspiration in song writing, journalism and poetry. There is an awesome rhythm apparent in the sign of Virgo. Mercury, still retrograde in Virgo can also encourage one to re-write or edit but some frustration can ensue. If you are in the process of modifying anything, be sure you allow yourself plenty of time and do it with great attention to detail.

FULL MOON occurs on September 23, 2010 at 05:17:12 AM EDST
This Full Moon is a whisper into the sign of Aries as it opposes the Sun, a whisper into the sign of Libra. In early degrees this lunation has greater power! The Lights form a dynamic T-square to Pluto now direct in Capricorn! War or peace? Action or patience? Jupiter and Uranus are conjunct and both retrograde in the sign of Pisces as the Moon passes over them mere hours before it reaches its fullness. Impatience with delays in cooperation and agreement will present itself in this lunar cycle. Motivation in creating positive changes will be the quality to bond new partnerships and create alliances – on both a personal and global scale!

PLANETARY ALERTS

Mercury Retrograde Alert!
Mercury, the planet of communication and perception, stationed retrograde in Virgo on August 20, 2010 at 03:59 PM and remains so until September 12, 2010 at 07:09 PM. This has been a difficult retrograde as Mercury also rules the sign of Virgo. Expect to have a compulsion to overanalyze everything! This may save you in the end. Carefully watch your numbers and screen carefully for typographical errors or omissions on all documents. It is best to have another set of eyes review anything you place a signature on for verification. The plus side of this cycle is that you can gain valuable understanding by looking at your life through the retrospect window. It is a great time to write memoirs or simply share experiences from your past with others. After it stations direct, it is still considered to be “in its shadow” until September 26th. Move forward but not too quickly!

Jupiter Retrograde Alert!
Jupiter, the largest planet and the Greater Benefic of the Zodiac after a brief preview in Aries stations retrograde on July 23, 2010 @ 08:03 AM EDST until November 18, 2010 @ 11:55 AM EST. It slips back into Pisces maximizing Mutable Water over Cardinal Fire until its re-entrance into Aries on January 22, 2011 @ 12:12 PM. Jupiter magnifies all it touches and is still proximal to Uranus, also revisiting the sign of Pisces. Places that have flourished and spaces that have been devastated can experience resurgence at this time. Preparation is key in this cycle.

Uranus Retrograde Alert!
Uranus, the revolutionary planet that vibrates to a higher octave of Mercury stations retrograde on July 5, 2010 at 12:49 PM EDST until December 5, 2010@08:18 PM EDT. It, too, slips back into Pisces and reflects the mutability of rain, water and the atmosphere. Sudden storm, catastrophes and those things that shake our world - as well as revelations and epiphanies accompany the energy of this ponderous planet. Amazing discoveries, cures and inventions can come from the ancient past as well as from our latest and greatest technology. Uranus also rules reversals. One can only hope that amazing solutions can reverse the damage to the Gulf.

Neptune Retrograde Alert!
Neptune stations retrograde in Aquarius on May 31, 2010 at 02:50 PM EDT until November 7, 2010 at 01:05 AM EST. Although it will not station until the last day of the month, it literally appears to stand still May 24th through June 8th! This two week cycle is powerful for reflection and can imbue you with a sense of calm you have never experienced before. Its opposition to Mars, first in late Leo and then entering Virgo, opens our eyes to those who are devoted to us in both idealistic and practical ways. Our souls may wistfully seek to meditate on happier times or even troubled times ending in triumph in this cycle. The last time we saw this passage, we enjoyed the “Roaring 20’s”, prohibition was in place and restrictions were placed on immigration. Sound familiar?

Pluto Retrograde Alert!
Pluto stationed retrograde in Capricorn on April 6, 2010 at 10:33 PM EDT until September 14, 2010 at 00:35 AM EDT. This occurs every year, but Pluto is “new” in Capricorn making this cycle seem a bit more uneasy than usual. The cogs of corporate and government affairs will start to grind slowly forward. There may now be progress in making things official or enforced. New laws, referendums and even tax refunds can come through. Pluto, being a ponderous planet, allows us to really look at the construction and destruction of progress that requires consideration. This retrograde period often bears fruit in the season yet to come.
