Aquarius Full Moon- Total Lunar Eclipse- September 7
As September starts, the Moon would be waxing and on the 7th gets full at 22 degrees of Aquarius. Rahu or the Moon’s North Node would be joining the Moon on this day and aligned with the Earth and the Sun forming a Total Lunar Eclipse. The Sun would be in opposition to the Moon in Leo 22 degrees. This eclipse would be visible in Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe.
Though the Virgo season promises prosperity, we would see some destabilization of your gains owing to this Lunar Eclipse. During this eclipse season there would be a difficulty in discerning between truth and false around. Use the ample light energy available to find hidden truths and strive to bring falsehood to the table. Judicious moves would be best to navigate these tough times when the water around is quite turbulent. We are urged to focus on diplomacy and negotiation to come out of rifts and not on external realignment.
Mars Transits Libra – (September 13 – October 27)
Mars would be transiting through Virgo as September starts. Mars through Virgo during the Lunar eclipse season would transit to the sign of Virgo on the 13th. While in Virgo, Mars was under the aspect of Saturn from Pisces and hence brought about some anxiety. Mars stays in Libra till the end of October. This transit of Mars emphasizes relationships, contracts and balance in life. However, be aware that Mars in Libra is being aspected by Rahu and Jupiter and their energies are very hot and expansive.
Mars through Libra and under strong aspects brings about some swift ideas which are not that productive to us in the long run. This is a great time for some strong foundation-laying, but then do note that not all your efforts would yield fruit. We need to be careful when we shift ideas from the drawing table to practicality. With the energy of Venus in Libra, our creative pursuits would be aroused. Hence this Mars transit through Libra, the home of Venus would be a great time to find the balance between creativity and functionality.
Venus Transits Leo – (September 14 – October 9)
Venus hitherto transiting through the water sign of Cancer would shift position to the fire sign of Leo on the 14th of September where it would be staying till the 9th of October. Ketu or the Moon’s South node is presently in Leo and this would be an intense cleaning period with Venus getting the aspect of Rahu as well as opposition. Venus in the fire sign of Leo all by itself with Mercury and Sun exiting Leo shortly, this would be a time of artistry pursued in solitude. Add to this the influence of Ketu on Venus might stand in the way of our material and artistic purposes in life. There would be obstacles galore this period.
Now Venus rises in the east sky before the Sun and is termed as the Morning Star. All creative pursuits now started would slowly gather steam and grow guided by the bright energy and light of the Sun, the ruler of Leo.
Mercury Transits Virgo-( September 14 – October 3)
Mercury transiting through Leo as September started would move over to the sign of Virgo on the 14th, where it be staying till the 3rd of October. Mercury is slowly preparing itself for a retrograde period later on during November in the water sign of Scorpio. Before its venture into Virgo, Mercury was combust with its proximity to the Sun.
Mercury zips past the sign of Virgo with full speed. Mercury is said to be exalted in its own sign of Virgo and hence is very powerful and potent. In Virgo, Mercury gets the aspect of Saturn and hence with this there would be some discipline needed for our personal routine works. This would be a good time for health diagnostics and the start of new health regimens. Mercury in Virgo gives enthusiasm to the dual signs that are currently hosting Saturn and Jupiter. Mercury through Virgo urges us to analyze our plans, learn more and let go off when not needed. This is a great time to run our personal data analysis and tweak our routine accordingly.
Sun Transits Virgo-( September 16 – October 16)
The Sun was transiting through its own sign of Leo as September started and on the 16th transits to the sign of Virgo where it would be travelling for the next one-month period till the 16th of October. In Virgo, the Sun would be in opposition to Saturn. The Sun would be slowly preparing for a solar eclipse later on, on the 21st. Mercury is also presently exalted in its own sign and Virgo is aspected by Saturn from Pisces.
This Sun transit is important where revelations are on the cards despite some tough efforts to sweep them under the carpet. During the transit you would be either reaping the fruits of your past labor or losing on the results. Shortly after the Solar eclipse, we would be encountering the Autumn equinox season. This would be a time to consolidate our resources and prepare for the harsh winter ahead.
New Moon in Virgo- Partial Solar Eclipse- September 21
On the 21st of September, the luminaires Sun and Moon join together in the sign of Virgo to from the New Moon for the month. This also happens to be a Partial Solar eclipse due to the slight gap from the nodal axis. New Moons as always point to the release of the past, renewal of things and starting things afresh both mentally and physically.
The Sun and Moon join at 5 degrees Virgo opposed exactly by retrograde Saturn at 5 degrees Pisces. The south node of the Moon, Ketu, sits close enough away in Leo to cause a partial solar eclipse. The eclipse urges us to relax once we have collected our resources. This eclipse season is the ideal time to recreate and realize. We are urged to get away from anything that makes us unhappy. We need to dig deep and to listen to our inner voice. We should also open our eyes for the truth around us as the eclipse season treads on.
