Sun and Mars, active in Virgo, New moon cycle moves to Libra, Saturn retro soon

paradoxx

The Sun and Mars have conjuncted in Virgo @ 23 Degrees. Mercury follows @ 7 virgo but since Mercury is quick it will move ahead quickly, all the while conjuncting the asteroids Ceres and America, then Mars and the Sun which will have then conjuncted and passed asteroid Union and the planet Jupiter.

read http://tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30475 for further information about this cluster of bodies.

The Moon in Libra begins this waxing moon phase, budding ideas of justice and the start of karmic delegation. Jupiter is at 28 virgo and will enter Libra soon, followed by asteroid Union and the Sun, and not nessacarily in that order. Mars followes as does ASteroids America and Ceres. Mercury will be the protaginist in making sure that these transits are foreward marching and well thought out.

SISYPHUS-The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight

from when i posted http://tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23223:

Starting over; the “uphill climb;” feeling like you're runnin' against the wind! It’s having to “go back to the beginning;” getting the rug pulled out from under you just as you thought you were getting somewhere; dogged rejection of defeat

Now, in September 2004, sisyphus has entered virgo, and left Leo. Depending on your accendent this may be the beginning of your journey (rising Leo) or the ending (rising Virgo). It may be the middle of your journey, if you are a rising Aquarius, Pisces, or Aries. You get the idea.

The wounded Healer-Chiron and the great King of Time, Saturn (or Chronos) are both starting to stall. Chiron has been moving retrograde, and is ready to move foreward in Capricorn, sign of institutions and administrations while Saturn is ready to move upheaval via retrograde into the sign of the home and family, Cancer.

While Saturn will not go retrograde until November, Chiron is moving direct now. This opposition will only make it so that their energies don't interfear with eachother, since they have been playing the opposition game all year this is nothing new, but Chiron moving foreward promotes healing, and Saturn moving retorgrade reduces restrictiosn and problems.

Juno, which went direct along with Mercury and Pluto between the lst week of Aug and the beginning of Sept is moving to close the gap between itself and Chiron. Since Chiron can't move foreward until after its stopped moving backwards, any remaining energy will be Juno's responsibility. Juno tracks how ones rights are being maintained, individually and in a relationship, in retrograde Juno's abilites have been squanderd and weakend, but that has changed and Juno is quickly repairing and rebuilding the structures that have been totally devestated, Hurrican repair and preperation for winter come to mind here.

Finally, for now, Neptune and Venus will be opposing soon, actually they are in a wide opposition orb right now. This flowing effect between Leo Venus and Aquarius Neptune invigorates the imagination and revitalizes the spirit of youth, even in the face of today's pressures, humanity has learned that a positve, sacred, and apprecitive, as well as a realisticly optimistic, point of view on the world benifits all and washes away negativity, This Leo/Aquarius cooperitive effort (rare indeed!) only makes sure that the dreams we are trying to live do have the chance to come true.

Thank you for the update. Beign a Leo, rising Virgo the aspects regarding both signs concern me a lot, specially during these months.

12 sign forecast for the Sign of Libra

Taking in the signs and their current inhabitants, here is a current outlook for the next Zodiacal cycle.

Aries: needless to say, Libra as the opposite of Aries directs our attention to the "other" in any given situation. With this new outlook we see the good and the bad, the positive and negative, the readily explainable and the strangely mysterious. Aries will have a hard time dealing with solar Librans and other Aries. Lunar Librans will be benificial, but Aries needs to keep calm or the lunar librans, especially if a solar fire sign, will feel threatened and retaliate. Atlantis, the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter are moving into position. Libra has a quality of clensing that Aires feels threatend by, just go with the flow.

Taurus: Benifiting off of their ruling planets exaltion in another fixed sign, Leo, Taurus will start preperation. Libra winds though make Taurus nervous if the Taurus is a perfectionist, Libra has to let things be for a while, Taurus is too strongheaded and may hurt themselves and their reputation, for Taurus alienates with the expectation of conformity, and neglects to consider the others. Libra expects Taurus to adhere to equality with the strictist of beliefs.

Gemini: Lilith, the apogee of the moons (Luna) orbit, where our emotoinal power is at its extreme to teh detriment of the psychic intuit we naturally have, has left Gemini, and is now in the Moons natural ruler, Cancer. The departure from Gemini has taken a load of of Gemini's mind, realizing that things are not going to happen exactly is ok, but things still need to be focused on, and communication still needs to happen, and Gemini will rely on Mercury and Hermes to aid them. Oddly enough, Gemini has had a reputation fo being the darkest of the zodiac as well as the brightest. Gemini speaks of duality, for duality is Gemini's life mission, and nothing, no one, can use Duality as a threat against the Twins. I hope Cancer can do the same

Cancer: Lilith, the dark sister to Luna, our physical moon, and Saturn, ruler of Cancers opposite. Home vs. Government, the family vs. the institution, where the balance. Perhaps balance is with Juno and Chiron, for Chiron's the wounded healer and is ready to redirect its energies with its return to direct motion. Juno has already gone direct. Venus' departure from Cancer has left a void, something Cancer has a knack of filling but hates to have around, of aesthetics. It is the psychological and metaphysical combination of the environment that encourages success, determination, and truth. It is the ability to have an image say "This is what I believe in" and do so in a way that catches ones attention and speaks through silent words.

Leo: Venus, Pallas, and Sisyphous are creating a circuit of creative juices that Leo revels in, to the point where they can be partially sustaining on. With opposition to Neptune and Justuice (both in retrograde) the restrictions placed by the laws of society are only for societies needs, personal interaction is not a problem. Leo, being the kings they can be, revels in this, but should not go overboard. Mercuries retrograde back into leo and then redirect to Virgo made Leo more communicative than usual, sometimes saying things they shouldn't have, also Leo's are expierencing a paradigm shift, along with Aquarius mainly due to Neptune's influence.

Virgo and Libra: The worker and the enforcer, the defendant and the system, the analysis of the truth, and the dissemination of the facts. Asteroid Atlantis leads the way, Jupiter is transiting the cusp, while conjuncting Asteroid union. the Sun pushes from behind, with added strength from Mars. Ceres is conjunct asteroid America pushing from behind and Mercury ruling the entire sign's thus promoting quick, but efficent results that can later be modified as per the sitaution's outlook.

Scorpio, not much happening here, the transiting moon in Scorpio or Taurus will engage strength in relations but no real detriment or benifits happenign here. Aslthough asteroid Nemesis is in Taurus, only enhancing the definitions mentioned for Taurus already, and creating distrust with Scorpio. Asteroid Sphinx has left Scorpio and entered Sagitarius. Scorpio is having a difficult time not being able to hide their true agendas.

Sagitarius, occupied by asteroid Sphinx, and Pluto in conjunction with Drakonia. Drakonia is a very severe asteroid, it is one that does not look back once moving foreward. Only when in retrograde does drakonia delve into past achievments but usually to be used as a preecendence. Now conjuncting recently direct pluto, transformation is coming in the form of galactic center @ 23 Sag. in a wide c onjucntion with Juno, thus promoting change in the establishment.

Capricorn, benifiting off of Saturns leanence in Cancer, that will resurface during the Retrograde in November, Juno and Chiron are busy preparing for Drakonias entrance into the strongheaded goat. Chiron in a direct opposition to Saturn, this is familiar becasue these two bodies have been opposing eachother for over a year. In the most basic of forms, it is a manifestation of the conflict of interest. Sometimes Cancer and Capricorn just cannot, by any means, strike a balance and need a cluster of Libran bodies to determine what goes where. Cap will have it easy for a while, some downturns, but in the end they will persevere better than before.

Aquarius: Aquarius is having dreams of grandure, but need to keep the law in mind. Karmic Law as well as legal law. Aquarius is not one to take no for an answer unless thats what they want, so when they are told no, then they have start over (again.). Neptune rules Pisces, and Pisces is occupied by Uranus, ruler of Aquarius. This combination is pleasing, but has a disparaging effect on everything as Uranus in retrograde is generating odd tangents that should be discarded before they gather too much steam. Oppositino to venus somewhat helps, but it is not the occupier of Aquarius that needs depowering, but the ruler of Aquarius.

Pisces: dominated by Uranus and Justuice in retorgrade, and vesta at 20 degrees. Pisces energies are low, only peaking during a pisces moon phase, now being phased out over the next half-year, with direct opposition to sisyphous the domination of religion will have to start over with a more direct and logical point of view. This applies to many orginizations, unions, legal and educational institutions both church-related and otherwise. It is the understanding of same-sex partnerships and the guarentee that they are equal of protection if they are legitimate and not farces (a problem with heterosexual situations far more than realized), it is a direction of importance, and of understanding towards the workplace and career issues that the workforce of everywhere is facing, and how to creativly work around those problems, which are not always solved with pre-packaged templates, perhaps the most important message yet.

*whew* that was a lot of typing.

Update, September 17

The moon has entered the cusp degree of Libra leading to Scorpio. Now only leaving Atlantis in charge of the Asteroid and planetry alignment. Mass revelations and weather of mass destruction (WMD anyone :) ) It's an unusual coincidence that this weatehr aligns with this astro-alignment to say the least

A look ahead, September 30, Mercury conjunct Mars, moving towards the sun

Mercury will have to transit all those asteroids and planets to catch up to Mars, ready for action in libra. Soon after, Mercury will make contact with the sun in october, by that point everyone will be ready for the Scorpio Sun Phase, but all these Libran energies don't fare too well for Scorpio.

Or Aries for that matter.

Both of these possibly vindictive signs needs something to curb their attitudes, the law may not be pressured down on them, but they are being weighed with justice.

In fact, in a rather synchronous display of numbers, an alignment in late vrigo to early libra starts with ASteroid America, conjunct Ceres @ 28 vir, follwed by Jupiter @ 1 libra, Asteroid Union @ 2 libra, Mercury @ 3 libra, and Mars @ 4 libra. The Sun will be @ 8 libra and Asteroid Atlantis will be at 10 libra. While there are many, many asteroids in the sky, I am only human and can only process so much. But I do know that asteroid Ute is in retrograde in Aries and will be in retrograde to 1 degree of Aries, it will go direct next year I believe. It's opposition I cannot decipher, but it will act as another American influence generating balance in the grand equation.
The moon will be in Taurus that day, companion to Libra, both ruled by Venus benifits this transit, Venus itself in another Fixed sign, Leo, the solar spark of creativity. This bodes well for this virgo to libra transit (in fact Virgo and Libra can almost be read together as one in the horoscopes) which the Air Sign Gemini favors. Air signs are good to eachother, and thus the good feelings continue. Not until the moon (luna) transits the Dark moon gravety point (Lilith) @ 6 degrees Cancer will the feeling then fade. Taken aback with the prospect of change Cancer hides in its shell, unfacing to the world. Cancers will have to be careful not to obsess over the 'empty focus' that lilith creates and Saturn only advances this scenerios trappings. Venus is close to Virgo now, so desire will be replaced with the love of responsibility.

Juno will be direct by this day, and the regress of the wounded healer has stopped. No longer needing to heal itself, the physician then starts to heal others. New regulations in medical environments may be enforced.

Aquarius and Pisces have their ruling planets in eachothers signs, both in retrograde. Each one is balancing the other so that neither has a powerhold, this is most evident in the election politics as both sides (of any nation) seem to be at a standstill. Exceptions to this will be present, but also expect natal retrogrades to be included as well.

The move to libra is upon us soon, 13 days.
