This is the week before the Lunar Eclipse, the first one in 19 years, in Pisces and Virgo. On September 17, the Pisces/Virgo series begins for a year and a half. I wanted to give you a little heads up and will write more about it next week. Sometimes things feel a little wobbly right before an eclipse and with transit Neptune on the eclipse’s North Node, this is understood. A lunar eclipse is a Full Moon when the Earth falls between the Sun and Moon – think about that – kind of like being in the middle of a rubber-band pulling contest. With Neptune right on the North Node, there could be confusion, distraction, fogginess, and a sense of not knowing which direction to take. Rather than making decisions because you feel pushed to do so, don’t. Just be with it. Allow yourself to move through the days before and the days following until there is less shadow and lighter.
It helps to grab as many naps or short meditation breaks as possible to let your unconscious dream state incubate. You may get more done in your sleep state rather than your waking state. There is support from the fact that Mercury entered Virgo last weekend pushing you to focus more easily than in these last weeks. Still, we have that eclipse coming, so how do you use Mercury? You get back to those things sitting at your desk, or the financial papers that need addressing, or budgets that you’ve avoided or just getting a few day-to-day things completed so once the eclipse shifts, there is more energy and time (because you moved all those old tasks off the list) now.
Venus is also trining Jupiter this week allowing more time for social interactions. Realize that those social interactions can also provide the seeds for innovative ideas you have already been incubating. This little trine can also offer romantic opportunities during this next week. This is also a wonderful time to talk with others who have the skills or talents missing from your toolbox that can help you towards more successful solutions.
On Saturday September 14, I am teaching: Decoding your Chart: Removing Blocks to Financial Abundance for the Tucson, AZ group. If you are interested in attending, here is the link to register.
Also, be on the watch for my 2025 Starcycles Cheat Sheet in September. It has been a bit delayed since I had some health challenges in August but am back on track. Signing up for the FREE occasional newsletter or reading the weekly forecasts keeps you informed of what I am doing, where and when. Many of you have asked if I am coming back to client work, again, that will be announced in my weekly forecast or in the newsletter. I won’t return to private work until my return after a conference and Europe , possibly around Spring Equinox, 2025.
