Greetings Fellow Lightcrafters, Congratulations. You have manifested in the least boring age in Herstory. September presents an astrological paradox that requires us to absorb a massive amount of data while simultaneously narrowing our field of vision. Critical analysis is required by a four-planet pileup in practical Virgo that features conjunctions between the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars on September 2-13. But this finely tuned parade of precision passes through oppositions to nebulous Neptune and squares to expansive Jupiter, creating. alternate waves of contraction and expansion. The cosmic noise is unceasing as the planetary precession take turns trining, then squaring, Saturn and Pluto, motivating us to transform specific details and overarching ideas into concrete practice. A planetary exodus from the confines of Virgo begins on September 14 when Mercury and Venus escape into the harmonizing realms of Libra. The Sun follows suit on September 23, marking the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. The dreamy Pisces Full Moon offsets the pragmatic Virgo Sun on September 13. The creative Libra New Moon forms an irritating quincunx with high-frequency Uranus on September 28. Against the backdrop of personal planets creating intense, but short-lived change, a square between opinionated Jupiter and fantasy-prone Neptune continues to feed the propaganda machine with a mixture of blind optimism and misplaced hope. Our job in the midst of this cosmic data download is to remember to frequently change the lenses through which we perceive the world, enabling us to more closely approximate the truth.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
Although it’s the weekend, you might consider organizing a key meeting or event, or doing something productive. The newly baked Moon—now in Libra—blends nicely with today’s pioneering numerology of 1, favoring bold initiatives. Harmonies in earth signs can facilitate breakthroughs with lasting effects: Mercury the messenger trines Uranus, planet of surprises, currently in earthy Taurus. We get a breath of fresh mental air, lucidity and confidence that inspires our thinking, writing, connections and activist efforts. Also, social Venus trines stable Saturn in ultra-stable Capricorn. Both Mercury and Venus are in diligent Virgo, so our applied efforts can produce lasting results, particularly in practical concerns. Find a way to innovate while connecting with others, doing creative work, promoting a cause, service or idea, redoing a vision board or related tools, going on a date, or holding a hand-fasting ceremony. What we might want to save for later are significant expenditures, since Venus is moving to square Jupiter, an aspect that fuels overspending. However you decide to use these energies, focus on initiating or building on something you want to last, because under today’s influences, it can.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2
Moon goes VOC in Libra in the wee hours and remains there most of the day. Today’s interesting transits are best applied in puttering around the house or garden, reading, swooning, or socializing just for fun until Moon enters Scorpio. At 4:35 pm (7:35 ET), Moon strides into courageous Scorpio, empowering us to use today’s interesting influences. Opulent Venus perfects her square to enthusiastic Jupiter, while confident Sun joins go-getter Mars. Mars and Jupiter are the planets of sales and promotion of business, products, or a cause. Both planets tend to come on strong, so before speaking, messaging, publishing or approaching others, breathe deeply, consider their needs and viewpoints, and choose your words diplomatically.
Still on last Saturday’s New Moon portal, this line-up favors seeding intentions in love, relationship, money, exercise and creativity. It’s also good for getting rid of situations and beliefs that are draining our energy in these areas. In Virgo, Venus can give Jupiter some realistic perspective. This is a pre-Equinox transit that helps us look at what’s really important to finish this year and how we can downsize (clearing out distractions) so our boats can stay afloat and on course.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3
Today’s energy is both deep and busy. With Moon in profound Scorpio and Mercury the messenger joining both confident Sun and assertive Mars, we can get in touch with our true feelings and wishes and communicate them. Also, Moon makes a series of sextiles to Mercury, Venus and Mars. They are all in Virgo, indicating opportunities for work, practical progress, contacts, and healing. It’s the perfect time to set a long-range goal in motion, make a life-altering decision, reach out to a potential collaborator or client, close a deal, lease or rent property, sign documents, face and solve a problem, or schedule surgery for tissue or cyst removal. But! Avoid getting jealous or obsessive or taking things personally. Mercury conjuncts Mars and the Sun. Although we may intend to express ourselves with care, talkative Mercury tangos with fiery Mars and the willful Sun, prompting us to speak first and think second. Most often this red-hot combination would lead to trouble, but the transformational Scorpio Moon forms supportive sextiles with four planets. Thankfully, just a little self-awareness goes a long way. Even words spoken in anger can quickly morph into a kind and compassionate message.
At 10:09 pm (1:09 am ET), the energy softens as Moon trines psychic Neptune. Enjoy music or meditation, connect with spiritual guides or angels, program your dreams for guidance.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4
We here at Metaversal are united firmly with our brothers and sisters in the Temple of MA'AT. Her connection is not insignificant (for more on the Temple of MA'AT go to Metaversal Venus, the link is over there to the right in the Lightcraft directory. After her role in creation and continuously preventing the universe from returning to chaos, her primary role in Egyptian mythology dealt with the weighing of souls that took place in the underworld, Duat. Her feather was the measure that determined whether the souls (considered to reside in the heart) of the departed would reach the paradise of afterlife successfully. Maat is the spirit in which justice was applied rather than the detailed legalistic exposition of rules (as found in Mosaic law of the 1st millennium BCE). Maat is the norm and basic values that form the backdrop for the application of justice that has to be carried out in the spirit of truth and fairness. From the 5th dynasty (c. 2510-2370 BCE) onwards the Vizier responsible for justice was called the Priest of Maat and in later periods judges wore images of Maat. Later scholars and philosophers also would embody concepts from the wisdom literature, or Sebayt. These spiritual texts dealt with common social or professional situations and how each was best to be resolved or addressed in the spirit of Maat. It was very practical advice, and highly case-based, so that few specific and general rules could be derived from them. During the Greek period in Egyptian history, Greek law existed alongside Egyptian law. The Egyptian law preserved the rights of women who were allowed to act independently of men and own substantial personal property and in time this influenced the more restrictive conventions of the Greeks and Romans. When the Romans took control of Egypt, the Roman legal system which existed throughout the Roman Empire was imposed in Egypt. In the Duat, the Egyptian underworld, the hearts of the dead were said to be weighed against her single "Feather of Ma'at", symbolically representing the concept of Maat, in the Hall of Two Truths. A heart which was unworthy was devoured by the goddess Ammit and its owner condemned to remain in the Duat. The heart was considered the location of the soul by ancient Egyptians. Those people with good and pure hearts were sent on to Aaru. Osiris came to be seen as the guardian of the gates of Aaru after he became part of the Egyptian pantheon and displaced Anubis in the Ogdoad tradition. The weighing of the heart, pictured on papyrus in the Book of the Dead typically, or in tomb scenes, shows Anubis overseeing the weighing and the lioness Ammit seated awaiting the results so she could consume those who failed. The image would be the vertical heart on one flat surface of the balance scale and the vertical Shu-feather standing on the other balance scale surface. Other traditions hold that Anubis brought the soul before the posthumous Osiris who performed the weighing. Looking deeper however, all contestants may both win and lose depending on the purpose and machinations behind the scenes.Look beneath the surface to find what’s really going on. A win-win could be created through an enlightened viewpoint. . If you’ve elected to forego swallowing the gravity pill, you can take part in the holographic cherub hunt – but mind you don’t bruise your fellow prisoners! At this point a viscous orange liquid. Take as many pictures as you like. Feel free to speak candidly to those in hibernation – it won’t disturb them.Today’s numerology of 4 moves us to work, but with Moon VOC in Scorpio from 3:58 am (7:58 ET) until this evening, most of the day favors low-key activities—or inactivity. Rest, journal, practice forgiveness, visualize, fast or detox, and recharge the inner batteries. In keeping with this influence, an opposition from Venus to Neptune stimulates imagination and creativity and increases our appreciation of music and film, but it can also lead to confusion and bad judgment in matters of the heart or purse. At 8:08 pm (11:08 ET), Moon enters Sagittarius. Now we’ll be in the mood to socialize, enjoy friendship or a funny movie, or catch up on work related to commerce, a promotion, correspondence, data retrieval, or the attainment of long-overdue answers.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5
Moon in enthusiastic Sagittarius favors connecting with others for business, friendship or a cause, while Mercury the messenger in trine to Saturn the builder is great for giving structure to our thoughts.
It’s a great day to design a presentation or method, structure a text or a legal procedure or document, apply for a permit, get our ideas in writing, and share them with a teacher, elder or authority figure. Moon makes tense aspects to feisty Mars and rebellious Uranus, so avoid getting dogmatic or worked up about your ideas. At 8:10 pm (11:10 ET), Moon reaches her Second Quarter. Take a pause to review progress on intentions seeded at last Saturday’s New Moon. The Sabian symbol for 13-14 Sagittarius says:
THE GREAT PYRAMID AND THE SPHYNX. The enduring power of occult knowledge and of its quasi-divine custodians. “Seed-people” of a previous cycle of existence.
This symbol suggests that this occult knowledge and the… process of acquiring it is still available and that by accepting their principles humanity can best meet the challenge of our present world crisis… THE POWER OF SPIRITUAL ANCESTRY.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6
If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the
ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald
pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. Venus, who gets
oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force
and as a creative one. The 5 roses represent the five senses in the Empress card (Atu 3) And in the Lovers card
(Atu 6 ) the senses are the five fruits of Eve. Venus is indeed in cahoots with the senses. All movement of all living
creatures in world of Assiah are tied to the senses and the desire-nature. The accomplished Lightpilot can remove the
robe of desire in order to withdraw into the worlds of Briah and Atzitluth, but in order to achieve anything in the
physical realms you keep that robe on. When you act, your gonna act in terms of desire. Venus represents that which
is desirable. Every living thing seeks pleasure and tries to avoid pain. Victory lies in understanding our desire
nature and learning how to use it. Moon in Sagittarius makes tense aspects that may stimulate interesting dreams this morning,
while harmonies involving earth signs open doors of lasting improvement. Venus in practical Virgo trines potent Pluto in Capricorn: this is a sensual, sexy connection that also works for healing a
relationship, improving our image (get a haircut or makeover), redecorating our office or work space, doing landscape gardening,
holding a wedding or handfasting ceremony, or working on art.Also, Sun in diligent Virgo trines work-planet Saturn in the sign of its rule:
focus comes more easily, and our efforts can build something lasting. Although these trines start in the afternoon, they will be felt all day and are really worth using in key connections.
SATURNSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7
The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Fire Atziluth. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of
Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum.
"Because your mine, I walk the line". With it being Fire week, honor Saturn today by creating greater stability
in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your
base Chakra. Our consciousness in this chakra is concerned with survival, with our fight or flight response,
with our instincts. It links the individual with the physical world. Serves as the foundation to evolve and
build personality. If we are to ignore this chakra, and concern ourselves with the higher levels, we will be
growing without roots, we will be unstable, unable to withstand the trials that will come our way. If our
survival needs are met, the Base Chakra will function healthily, but if there is a perceived threat to this,
(such as a difficult house move, job change, health problems, etc.) it can create an imbalance. Other Saturnian
imbalances can show themselves in various ways, from sleeplessness and the inability to relax, to obsession with
money, possessions or healtMoon is VOC in Sagittarius until 3:37 am (6:37 ET), when she enters Capricorn.
An opposition from Mercury the messenger to Neptune the seer can make for interesting dreams and accent the potential of
Moon’s square to Chiron, making this morning good for healing. It won’t necessarily be comfortable, but a meeting to clarify
situations with collaborators can prove productive. Or, we can use the influences to journal, do dream work and most specifically,
to transmute any issues we might have around authority. A trine from Moon to Uranus in Taurus, sign of abundance, lights up the afternoon.
It benefits socializing but can also be splendid for progress. We might ask for a promotion, entertain the boss, set down rules or guidelines,
get reconstructive surgery, enjoy like-minded company, or organize an investment, a building project or an area of life that’s become scattered.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8
Sun squares jovial Jupiter, fueling our spirit of adventure (and with it a certain risk factor, so for the moment contain the urge to do extreme sports or drive in the fast lane). Moon in organized Capricorn makes a series of harmonies, blending with today’s numerology of 8 and this evening’s earth trines. The combination is stellar for holding a formal reunion, a serious event, or a gathering that combines work and pleasure.Work and business go particularly well, with the help of trines from Mercury the messenger to potent Pluto and bold Mars to ambitious Saturn. The signs involved are diligent Virgo and goal-oriented Capricorn. Take at least some time today or tonight to buckle down, focus on key research, negotiation, presentation, or another determined action. Focused moves produce lasting results. Something you’ve attempted unsuccessfully before just might come together now. This evening, the energies are pretty serious: independent efforts or productive collaborations go better than just hanging out.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9
With Moon VOC in Capricorn and today’s numerology of 9, this morning is great for meditating, working on forgiveness, making a generous gesture to an elder or teacher, and transmuting our thoughts and beliefs. Save things that need a particular outcome for after 2:24 pm (5:24 ET), when Moon enters sociable Aquarius.
A sextile to Chiron helps us find our authentic voice. We can use it to break out of a rut, try something different, focus on personal freedom, fight for a cause, rearrange the furniture, break the rules, set a limit, close a cycle, quit a job. Contacts with friends, idealists and free souls also go well.
