Ah, September.. It’s a dual use apocalypse. It is granting sight on the one hand and it is creating blindness on the other. For those being made blind, there is no awareness that this is taking place. The adjustment of vision immediately transforms into normal, as if it was always so. So many things are happening on so many levels. From the cultural, to the financial to the governing bodies, reeking with corruption, like a burning landfill in a third world country; the remnants of civilization are picking through the wreckage. September opens on the crest of the Earth Grand Trine involving Jupiter, Pluto, and the fast planets in Virgo (Sun and Venus, with Mercury yet to come). Jupiter has just turned retrograde, giving us four months to bring this into full manifestation and fixing this most beneficial of aspect patterns in our life for the duration. While there are many rough currents and perilous leaps that we must make before year’s end, this grand trine does much to frame the process and invite us to use the energies creatively and prosperously. It’s a wonderful way to start a new life as we walk through the 2012 time portal.
On September 12 we get to experience the glorious Full Moon in Pisces (and IAO Core's Rite of Luna, the culmination of their 2011 Rites of Eleusis Tour of the Pacific Northwest) The sensitive and idealistic Pisces Full Moon’s opposition to the Sun in practical and particular Virgo is an encounter between feelings and facts. We may be emotionally overwhelmed by obligations or insecurities if the workload is too great or standards are ridiculously high. This lunation increases the potential for creative inspiration, spiritual breakthroughs and moments of awareness that allow us to leap over petty problems. A broader understanding of our higher purpose and acting with more compassion could make this (the Full Moon and IAO Core's Rite of Luna) a watershed event. If reaching clarity was the theme of August, September’s theme is “making it work”. Personal industry is especially helpful, and we will be goaded to engage in Virgoan-type, good ol’ fashioned work. The big release this month occurs on September 16, when Pluto returns to forward motion (is stationary direct). This completes 4-½ months of deconstruction so that reconstruction can take place. Since april 6th we have been shedding obstructions and delusions like so many old rags. This trip into the underworld (Pluto’s domain) has taken us into all the dark corners so that we can shed light on them and allow what’s fertile to grow. Now we bring our resulting transformation to the upper world, where we can move forward cleansed and renewed. Until December 28, we’ll be re-addressing situations that came up so far this year, but especially those that arose in late March-early April. The yearly rounds of the Sun with Chiron and Neptune are now past the halfway point, and our direction with respect to healing and the imaginal-invisible world is clearer even if our dilemmas not yet completely resolved. A peak of illumination comes as the yearly Uranus cycle culminates on September 25. Look at what reached critical mass on/around July 9th for clues as to what this brings. We start a new Saturn cycle on October 13, giving us six more weeks to complete the process of constructive activity we’ve been working on since september of last year. This has been a milestone year with Saturn, as it interacted with the Nodes at its conjunction to the Sun bringing up a huge decision point, a parting of the ways from one path and an initiation of another. What path did you choose? It is possible that the chosen path has not yet revealed its gifts and vindicated your risk, but this will come to full fruition in the coming year, as Saturn completes its next yearly cycle still in Libra. Relationships remain on the front burner, and that’s a good thing, because the potential for healing old wounds in the light of new connections has never been greater. A bright future is dawning for those who do their inner work. The context for this is the new reality that is dawning on our planet, and the need is great for each of us to share our unique insights in creating it. Each of us holds a piece of the puzzle and has something of great value to contribute. Even if you don’t know what that is, you are already giving it to a grateful planet and its inhabitants.
