The New Moon on Saturday, September 28th ushered us into Libra time. Libra energy brings a spirit of cooperation reminding us that we are of a herding species. We really like to get together. The New Moon chart provides a road map to the Lunar month. Sun, Mercury and Venus are all in Libra at this New Moon so the Libra energy is especially strong. With Mercury at the top of the chart and all these planets clustered in the ninth house, newspapers, publishing, legal issues and courts will be prominent . Some freaky weather events are possible as well.
The first week in October brings a shift on a variety of levels. Thursday, October 3rd, with Moon in Sagittarius, Pluto turns in direct motion and Mercury moving into Scorpio, the gloves come off and things could get ugly. Mercury in Libra was all nice-nice but Mercury in Scorpio is incisive and slices through all the bull shit. Pluto moving forward brings about big events. Pluto is all about power and control. Pluto destroys to build something newer and better. On Friday Mars enters Libra. While our energies may incline us towards compromise and consensus, Mars the action planet is blunted here. Libra is the peacemaker, Mars is the warmonger. You get the picture. Disparate forces clash with one another.
But action is unavoidable at the First Quarter Moon on Saturday. While folks are aware of the Full Moon and the sometimes crazy energy floating around at those times; Quarter Moons can be just as crazy. This Quarter Moon kicks off some tense energies; legal issues and religious fanatics make the headlines. Freaky weather, shocking news, the strange, odd and curious fill the weekend and this weird stuff continues into Monday. The Aquarius Moon on Monday adds to the crazy.
On Tuesday another energy shift takes place when Venus enters Scorpio. Venus symbolizes the sweet and gentile. Scorpio is anything but. We navigate these waters with a bit of difficulty. As the Full Moon of the 13th approaches expect a shocking event involving women, sex, diplomatic snafus and of course political fall out.
The Full Moon on the 13th shimmers with a glamour that clouds issues and covers true motives. Oil and gas leaks, and leaking of private information muddies the waters. When it comes to the news read between the lines, do some serious investigating.
As the Moon winds down to the Last Quarter on the 21st the possibility of misinformation grows stronger. Powerful forces at work leading up to this point in time want to control information. Control is the keyword here. As we gear up for the next New Moon the energy shifts into the more serious and complex sign of Scorpio.
Stay tuned.

Inquiry to Impeach - Trump
Yesterday, September 24, 2019 at 5:04 PM Nancy Pelosi announced that the House of Representatives were opening an Inquiry into Impeachment. A whistle blower complaint about a conversation the President had with the President of the Ukraine was the incident that pushed Nancy Pelosi to take this step. Prior to this she has been reluctant to pen these proceedings.
At the time of the announcement, Mercury was sitting on top of Trump's natal Jupiter at 17 Libra. Trump's Jupiter is part of a lucky trine in his chart with his natal Uranus at 17 Gemini. Transiting Jupiter in Sagittarius opposes Trump's Uranus and is in sextile to his Jupiter.
There is a lot more planetary action going on that impacts his chart but these are the ones that pop out when giving it all a quick look. The Mercury (inquiry) conjunction to his Jupiter (law, courts, Senate) perfectly symbolizes what is going on. Venus is in the picture as well. Jupiter and Venus are referred to as the Greater and Lesser Benefic, which means they are the good guys and bring luck and good fortune to you when they transit your chart. This would seem to favor Trump in this case. But Jupiter is the law and elsewhere in Trump's chart he is experiencing a Saturn transit. While Jupiter represents the law, Saturn demands that you obey that law. Venus will often bring helpful people into your life here it symbolizes the feminine forces that are aligned against Trump. Many women oppose Trump and his policies.
Trump's luck may still be in force for a while yet. The end of October, 30/31 sparks will fly. January and February 2020 could very will bring a reckoning.
Stay tuned.

Moon in Cancer / Leo
We're still in the Last Quarter phase of the Moon/Sun cycle. And we are poised to enter the Fall Season which begins officially in the wee hours of Monday morning.
The Moon this Sunday, September 22, 2019 entered Cancer just after midnight as Saturday rolled over into Sunday. Cancer is the home sign of the Moon. Cancer and the Moon rule the emotions. So we can expect folks to be moody and at times crabby. During the day today Mercury, the news and information guy squares of with Saturn the planet known as the Greater Malefic, which means he does not usually bring about happy results. Connected to Mercury we could hear some bad news, an aviation or automobile accident, and even an attempt to prevent news from getting out. Remember, whatever the news or events, under a Cancer Moon folks will react emotionally.
On Monday the seasonal change takes place as the Sun enters Libra. A chart erected for that moment reveals clues as to what the season will bring. Here is a link to the article I wrote about the fall season in Motif Magazine. http://motifri.com/look-up-the-stars-tell-all-for-the-season-ahead
This season will bring new efforts to conserve and protect the earth. We are witnessing it already with the global climate strike. This season seeds will be planted that will result in new technologies in connection to the environment.
Early Tuesday morning the Moon enters Leo. The energy shifts, folks want to be appreciated when Moon is in Leo. This Moon favors leadership, creativity and in general can be quite optimistic. It is a red letter day as Mercury, the speedy little traveler makes a sweet connection with Jupiter the Greater Benefic. This aspect favors signing contracts, reaching agreements and making announcements. Take advantage of this day in any way you can because the energy is favorable.
Wednesday, with the Moon still in Leo Venus, ruler of love and money, squares off with that bad boy Saturn. This connection with Saturn reminds us to pay attention to how much we are spending. Mind the budget Saturn warns. Venus could care less about the budget, she sees it, likes it, thinks it's pretty and wants it. In matters of the heart, Venus / Saturn connections can mean a slow start to a relationship and can bring a commitment. The warning here is that the Saturn person in the relationship might want to put a lid on the Venus person. Saturn likes to limit, contract and control. Best to think things through before making that commitment.

Greta Thunberg - Climate Girl
Pictures of Greta Thunberg, a lone girl with a lone sign saying "strike for climate" has flashed around the globe in the wake of yesterday's global climate strike. From a humble start a little girl has activated millions.
Greta Thunberg is of the generation with Pluto in Sagittarius, Neptune in Aquarius and Uranus in Aquarius along with David Hogg survivor of the the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. From guns to climate, this generation will create change.
Greta Thunberg is a Capricorn. Although I have no time for her birth it's a good bet that her Moon was in Capricorn as well. She was born at at Mercury station, meaning Mercury was changing direction when she was born, going from Direct to Retrograde. Planets at stationary points are very powerful. It is no surprise that Mercury the messenger is so strong in her chart. That Mercury is in Capricorn as well and insures that her message will manifest in the world in a concrete way.
When she began her strike on August 20, 2018 Retrograde Mars in Capricorn was transiting, sitting on, her Mercury. Mars is about action and this Mars brought energy to that message. Also Saturn was a couple of degrees into Capricorn. Saturn rules Capricorn. At that time it was just beginning to aspect her natal Sun.
As she sailed across the Atlantic, hit the United Nations and the US Congress transiting Saturn was rolling across her Sun.
Saturn transits mark significant periods in a person's life. Capricorn's in general are sometimes old when they are young and young when they are old. When Saturn comes around it is usually pay back time or time to do your job. If you don't, in 7 1/2 years or so, Saturn will hit you from another angle and demand pay back. Greta Thunberg has done her job and will continue to do so.
Jupiter will enter Capricorn in December and remain there for a bout a year rolling over her Capricorn planets. Jupiter is the Good Luck guy. Saturn will conjunct Pluto on January 12, 2020 smack in the middle of Greta's Capricorn planets.
This young lady is not going away. She will continue to spread her message and that message will resonate with the masses. The kid is a game changer.

Moon in Gemini - Have That Conversation
Today, September 20, 2019, Moon is in Gemini. There's some good energy out there for conversation, information gathering and information exchanging. Friday is Venus' day and in the connecting with people. In the early afternoon Moon and Mercury make that same congenial aspect. A good time to write, communicate and tug on those many threads that are dangling in your life. As Mercury rules youth it is good timing for the Friday Global Climate strike. These good aspects indicate a successful outcome.
Saturday the 1st Moon is in Gemini all day and late in the evening the Last Quarter in the Lunar cycle becomes exact. A Gemini Moon squaring a Virgo Sun emphasizes Mercury and all that this planet symbolizes. In a natal chart Mercury reveals how we speak, learn and process information. Our siblings and neighbors fall under Mercury's purview. Lots of thinking going and mulling things over.
Midday, Jupiter in Sagittarius squared off with Neptune in Pisces. The energy of these planets are strong at this time as they are each in their own sign. They are at home and are comfortable. This combination strikes a spiritual cord in all of us. The upside is meditation and higher consciousness, the down side is deceit, deceiving ourselves and others as well as being excessive in all things. Over eating, drinking and in taking the easy way out. Oil, gas and other chemicals fall under this aspect. Meditation and seeking enlightenment is a good way to handle this energy.
