Monday September 1
Sustaining strength carries us forward as the Moon completes its transit of Scorpio,
ensuring that we got through the obstacle course in our relationships that came up a week ago.
At 8:40 am PT (11:40 am ET), the Moon gives us a brief interlude to integrate this process as enters its
void period. Our initiatives can be reawakened with its movement into Sagittarius at 10:17 am. The Cardinal
drive to move forward is reactivated when Mercury enters Libra at 10:38 pm.
Tuesday September 2
At 4:11 am PT/9°55' Sagittarius-Virgo, the Moon squares the Sun, the First Quarter lunation and the start of Waterweek.
This opening Sun-Moon square is the time when the magic of setting our intentions toward specific goals is
most powerful. There’s nothing to impede our progress once we pass the static of the square, as the Moon
makes a Fire Grand Trine with opportunity planets Jupiter and Uranus. These energies will propel us forward
throughout the week ahead. Use logic and organization to enhance your results. In the lunation chart cast for the US
capital, we see the energy of the people turned toward industry. It’s the day after Labor Day, when the educational
year begins in earnest and logic rules. This also opens the final run up to the mid-term elections, where a potential
upset in the balance of power is brewing. The key events of the week are found on the home front, where weather,
global warming, and the acts of industry are front and center. The people’s awareness of the costs of corporate
greed is growing by leaps and bounds, while some are dazzled by what glitters. The Sabian Symbols for the First Quarter Sun-Moon square are: “a theatrical representation of a golden haired goddess of opportunity” (the Moon); and for the Sun, “two heads looking out and beyond the shadows”. Both symbols speak of possibilities, the opportunities that lie in the unknowns of the future. What we put our focus on in the coming week is what we add energy toward creating, even beyond this lunar cycle. Archetypal energies, such as those found more readily in myth and story, can be used to empower us in our journey toward what we want.
Wednesday September 3
The Day of Mercury in the kabbalistic World of Water, Briah. Mercury's function is to communicate. To think. To know.
To reason. Language is his playground. The Akasic Library is his home. And oh yes, Hermes is a Love god. He likes the
sound of his own voice. Write a poem, a sonnet, or some erotica today and them transmit that information to at least
one other person. I write these darn things every Wednesday. Mercury teaches (by demonstration), the animation of
Eidolons, the magick indwelling of icons by Spirit. The Sun trines Pluto today, alerting us to the fact that Pluto is about to go direct. We have an open portal now to ramp up the transformations that will lead us to our long-term goals. The Moon continues in Sagittarius, bringing joy and optimism that carries us through, even as the Moon goes void at 11:06 am (2:06 pm ET). This gives way to deeper analysis once the Moon makes its way into Capricorn at 3:15 pm, as it heads into an evening square to Mercury.
Thursday September 4
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Water.Projecting Light Specific Blue and facing West, vibrate this azure deluxe into your Second Chakra along with the mantrum: EE-BE-DA. Jupiter is all about allowing ambiguity, contradiction, and movement. It isn't about integration. It helps the ego become more flexible. By Jove, life isn't about staying calm and balanced, but rather about keeping complexity and drama and everything else alive and in dynamic flow Jupiter is the largest of all the true planets, its mass greater than the rest of them combined. Astrologically, Jupiter is the planet of expansion, growth and optimism. Known as "The Greater Benefic," it symbolizes good luck and fortune. In the ancient Indian language Sanskrit Jupiter is called "guru" or teacher. This fits its association with the higher mind, philosophy, truth and religion. Perhaps Jupiter's good fortune derives from the larger perspective it provides on life in general and our own circumstances. Leo symbolizes individual expression and creativity. Jupiter's presence in this bold sign emphasizes the power of one person to make a statement that will be heard by the world. The capacity to get people to stand up and take notice is likely to be expanded during this entertaining and dramatic time. Jupiter's pursuit of meaning can be enhanced by taking personal risks and an opening of the heart, with which the sign Leo is associated. The negative side of this transit, however, can be excessive glorification of the ego. Pride in self is healthy, but boundless pride is a blinding light that darkens, rather than illuminates. The Moon runs the Capricorn course today. We can jump in with action, as harmonies to the Sun and Saturn enhance effectiveness and good outcomes. Capricorn represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between 7 weeks until 12 weeks after Conception, when the embryo becomes a fetus, and the sex and physical appearance are determined. The body takes form through it's skeletal system. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Metaversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Capricorn represents the integration and structuring of the higher perceptions of the Self in the World on a practical level. On the World scale, Capricorn occupies the period between AD 1750 and AD 1840. This was the time when the ideology of Sagittarius was translated into material form. Humanity evinced a superiority over the forces of nature, and the Industrial revolution began. Romanticism surrounded the likes of Shelly, Goethe, Byron, and Chopin, reacting to the cold prevailing mechanistic World view. Rudolph Steiner said that the human being is created, and destined to be, a self-defining creature. Are we slightly higher than monkeys or slightly lower than angels? Good old fashion hard work yields the answer. Monkeys and Angels are set to grind corn with the Sun in Capricorn. Tackle those long term projects and remember, the Mountain must be tackled one step at a time.
Friday September 5
Invoke blessed Haniel, just before dawn or 2 hours after sunset and behold, a court of photosynthetic Angels who make
this place inside your chest cavity a Paradise, performing tantric intercourse in magick towers and lush subterranean
caves, opening your Lionheart chakra, a breeze like yellow silk on your naked skin. She really gets my donkeys up
onstage. I love the way she plays with my expectations. Like a little dragon-faced hen bursting with tinsel and frayed at
the wrong end. While Jupiter is in Leo, it makes three quincunxes to Pluto, and the first one is today. This is part of a yod that
formed on August 14 when Jupiter made the other supporting quincunx to Neptune. We can use our dreams to further our
long-term processes of change, but it is best not to leap too soon, as Jupiter may want to do. Let things mature and
come to you. Venus enters Virgo at 10:07 am (1:07 pm ET), steadying our perspective on love and increasing our
appreciation of the little things we do for each other. The Moon finds harmony with Mars before entering its void period
in Capricorn at 8:08 am. We have a day to collect our forces, until Moon enters Aquarius at 4:59 pm.
