- Review of the New Moon and Mercury Direct in Virgo. A time to know your own best qualities and goodness and not allow a few disappointing things throw you.
- The day by day run down of planetary aspects for the next few weeks.
- The next Full Moon September 29
Are we walking through a test from September 14 and earlier, up through September 29 (the next Full Moon?) These few weeks might feel a bit disoriented, out of sync….life seems somehow not real. Some part of it is not the way it should be. This cycle could be presenting to us situations where a few letdowns intermixed with potential victories are occurring. Some things you are happy with are side by side with something else undesirable. We need to detach from the undesirable things and see it as a work in progress. Even if it Is global.
The test is to rise above the peculiar discouraging events which could be bringing us worry, confusion or mysteriously disappointing circumstances. Even deception.
The importance of letting go of some specific expectation we have, rising above discouragement and re-aligning ourselves to our infinite worth and value, is one of the themes at this time.
We’ll need to keep focused on the reality of the big picture for the next few weeks, especially from September 13-19th. What is the great big picture for you? I would go big, your key values, priorities, what’s truly important to you and your personal worth. By re-aligning ourselves to our own internal wonderfulness and worth, our perfection, where truly all things inside of us are infinite power, infinite resourcefulness to draw to us what we really need we’re detaching from that tendency to become addicted to the worlds’ illusionary sense of security and safety. To remember where our true power and completeness is coming from and we’re not really dependent upon others or outer circumstances in order to be YOU! to be fulfilled and thrive, we can let go of the outer annoyances. By doing this, we’re counteracting a Virgo problem which is the “I’m not enough, what can I do…I’m flawed, it’s me, there must be something wrong I’m doing..” I have a sense we’re in a mini-course test cycle with this issue.
Take the time to remember what you have that is great, your very own worth, mastery and talents which are not only in our personal accomplishments in this life, but our Higher Self’s Causal Body which is a treasury house of all our gifts, mastery and good karma we have accrued throughout the ages. These treasures are stored in magnificent rainbow rings, spheres surrounding our Divine Higher Self in the place where all things are permanently stored and sustained.
The New Moon in Virgo, Mercury retrograde for the past few weeks,and as of September 14/15 station Direct oppose Neptune may have released some annoying inconveniences or let downs in these past days (week) but are just small undesirable issues on the backdrop of a much more magnificent Reality. Don’t let it snag you and take over your thinking. It is because Neptune lined up against or oppose these planets in Virgo we are being tested.
Here is the New Moon chart below:
You can see the opposition in the,Chart above, the Sun and Moon and Mercury stationary are both at 21* and Mercury at 8* Virgo (on the right side of the wheel and on the left side, Neptune is at 26* Pisces.)
This is the source of the disappointing or confusing situation of having to let go of something you may have been counting on…It can create undermining and disappointing circumstances you’re facing. It can cause us to fret over what’s not working right, or dealing with a person or situation which is projecting possible negativity, defeat, fear or undermining to our goals. It might be energetic or out in the open obvious problems. It’s not the end of the world, simply an annoyance or a slight set back for us to navigate through. We’re partially navigating through some mist at this time. The challenge is to let go of the old concrete dependence upon the outer, that familiar idea which felt comforting, made sense.
So, from The date of the New Moon last week September 14 and even a bit earlier up to September 29, it is a perfect time to concentrate on all you have accomplished and remember what the big picture is, your important overall priorities and stay on track!…in order to counteract this strange fog we’re in.
Many times these global Neptune issues are energetic projections directed upon masses of people who are highly sensitive and who are lighthouses, holding an important position on planet Earth. They counteract sabotaging undermining events. Something unseen, not quite understood, in the world. So we would be sensing something is very off. Confusion, diffusion of our focus, inability to concentrate, outer situations appearing to disappoint, not being able to think through something clearly, and even moods of despair, depression and unworthiness, these all could stem from psycho-projections. Sensing something is not right. The need of the hour is to pull into one’s internal powerhouse of resources. Trust your senses.
Make sure you have a ritual in the morning before you start your day.
A meditation, a mantra or an affirmation. Zero in on one to three Affirmations, and make sure to use the powerful phrase I AM in front of these affirmations. It will set your day.
Create your routine with this along with walking, yoga, the gym or connecting with someone first thing in the morning to be each others’ reinforcement. This always helps get through the rest of the day!
Spend time nurturing the things that you typically graze past. Catching up on visits, meetings, organizing or conversations which require more time than we usually allow is a positive way of using this cycle. Avoiding worrying, fretting and mentally revolving over certain situations which don’t seem to be working out to your ideal plan. Be empowered, take your power back and don’t allow some disappointment or loss steal pieces of your energy and focus. Take it back now !
This is a test to reclaim your own infinite power within yourself and resist the temptation of allowing something outside of us control us or be our god! (Making something outside of ourselves be more important or powerful than our own inner light and power we’re connected to from the Higher Self and Infinite Power.) Easier said than done, I know! But I do feel this is what we’re being tested with.
Neptune can deal with illusions, projections, nebulous peculiar disturbances in the force around us! Resist putting too much emphasis upon these uneasy feelings and even disappointing situations.
But mostly, You want to be coming from a place of power and trust in your innate wonderfulness regardless of what’s happened, this is the key.
Again, the peculiar opposition to our expectations for external control, for things to be right, logical with any given situation you are in, is between September 14 – 19th, but trickling out a bit up through the 29th of September.
The Mercury in Virgo, the New Moon in Virgo trine Jupiter/Uranus.
The Trine between the Sun/Moon in Virgo to Jupiter/Uranus in Taurus at the same time as the other cycle, is very nice as it supports a mood of expansion and success no matter what else is going on….it has been and will continue to move you forward with getting much accomplished in a functional, practical way.
September 19 will be the exact peak of the Sun in Virgo opposed Neptune in Pisces. It’s the exact peak moment of this entire theme month of September of weird energy , where we should release and surrender being too tied up with that disappointing outcome or situation, let go of something that is not permanent and be willing to accelerate higher into a more permanent love and empowerment for ourselves.
The Jupiter and Uranus Trine the New Moon, and the Mercury simultaneously increases our new pathway for future happiness by taking on a project(s), a meeting, or task which motivates us towards very fine tuning with something we consider necessary, important for our next level of progress. Personal, professional, employment, writing or creating, discussions and decisions made. It zeros in on our plans. So we’ve got parallel experiences happening at the same time. Let’s get on with the rest of the next two week’s planetary cycles, and continue building up our internal light..
Mars inconjunct Jupiter September 19
Mars has vital energy and the motivation to act, to mover forward and it’s in an awkward connection to Jupiter now. The very thing we know we should take action on might need to be postponed, delayed for whatever reason. Be easy on your relationships and try not to focus on the frustrations, but the good. Flexibility and cooperation.
September 20 Sun Trine Pluto
Finally an empowering day. It’s an excellent time (if your own astrology merits it) to work with those in authority, merge with groups or places where there is a concentration of advancement of purpose, empowerment and flow of progress. You could feel an easier time of producing, cutting through and being incredibly resourceful now.
September 22 Sun enters Libra
The radiation of light pouring through the relationship harmony and abundance sign Libra, gifts us with higher standards. Focus upon music, art, beauty, style, symmetry, or even justice and balance, fairness and legal issues, our concentration upon the higher way no matter what the situation, will enhance our own strengths of non compromise now.
Through more reasonable interactions, conversations, meetings and supportive actions, we go farther than normal. Giving love and support to others, putting ourselves in others’ shoes and asking for the reality of any given situation, versus what we might be fabricating in our own heads, will expand our happiness, success and more good fortune throughout this cycle. It lasts up to October 22/23td. Maintain your position, Reality is King versus Delusion and Lies.
September 23 Venus Trine Chiron
Love heals all! At least on the surface for a while! Nurture the kindness and give the body language, the smile and helpful words which can ease anothers’ wounds today. Empathy is high, and it goes both ways.
September 24 Mars opposed Chiron and Sun inconjunct Saturn
How could the previous day be supportive and gentle, receiving and giving healing gestures, and today there are awkward frustrating attempts to connect, to share and support, yet things are either way too complicated, over our heads, or we’re in a harder space not being able to follow through, the other people can’t follow through, moods are less receptive…something is disjointed.
Sometimes mechanical issues, things breaking, financial upsets or arguments with people can occur under these planets’ stressful positions.
We might even sense this energy rolling in the night before. Stay cool, balanced and rational. We might have no choice but to deal with some sleepless nights, unpleasant obligations, or adjust our ideal day to one of accommodating another and their expectations. You can give them a sense of winning and still come out ahead.
September 25 Mercury Trine Jupiter
When it comes to writing, contracts, paperwork, focusing upon data, numbers, schedules and commitments, this is a good day.
Also, this wraps up several weeks in September, of concentrating upon some very specific project. It’s the details, the analysis and pinpointing the execution of the thing as top priority.
This positive Mercury in Virgo trine Jupiter has been helping us to expand our minds to get used to a more precise and efficient task at hand. The key words would be:
Higher quality of service and friendship….usefulness and providing help, insights or work to make something a better quality, or a much needed support and piece of the puzzle.
Increasing knowledge, accuracy and exactness of information. Really show others what you can do!
Health, diet or body care, zeroing in on staying on track with yourself.
Justice, details, fine points of issues where by one point, one idea or detail, whether an issue, an elevated priority of a plan of action this is where we feel we can take action and succeed.
September 27 Mercury inconjunct Chiron
Nothing is more important today than maintaining your flow of productivity, mental positive outlook on life yet you’re having to maintain this empowerment while handling some other dark rain cloud. Keep your presence of mind to have good boundaries but extend help if you feel it’s important, without letting it take you down.
September 28-29 Venus Square Uranus
Social pressures demand we either go along with our friends, the team or a particular person and handle any stresses with that situation beautifully, or! We reject the invite altogether.
Any purchases you make on these days, make sure it’s exactly what you want, and it’s worth the money. Quality materials, good price, serving your purpose.
What you value and care about might be in conflict with others’ style, values or behavior.
September 30 Mercury Trine Uranus and Mars inconjunct Uranus
When it’s about meetings, important conversations, hanging out with others and really counting on smooth events, great time, signing documents, contracts, negotiating anything, this is a great day! A nice day for honest transparent sharing. Revealing the truth regarding how you see things and where you’re at in your situation. A good day for a day trip, writing a report, launching work, reaching out to another. Your mind is clearer and open for connecting and making smarter decisions. The ultimate goal is to obtain freedom, And so the Mars inconjunct would cause a situation to really navigate and fight for the truth and freedom more than anything.
September 29 the date of the Full Moon up to October 2nd – Mercury finishes the last of the oppositions to Neptune, The peculiar and minor theme of surrendering something and dealing with some disappointments. Also, keep an eye out for scammers or deception. Lack of clarity and even though you know what you need to do, you might be struggling to see the road to get there. Don’t worry, it will be clear.
Two Finger of Gods, One to Neptune and the other to Venus.
October 3–5 2023 (See Chart Above) is a tense date of being tested again in regards to our heart, our values, not compromising and things related to love and relationships.
There also could be money decisions, bills, income, salary or what we value putting our attention and time into with a project.
A shift is required. There are two Finger of God’s in the chart above.
The Venus at the top left in Leo, in house number 11, is making an awkward inconjunct to the Pluto at the bottom in house number 4, and the Neptune in Pisces in house number 6. If you draw a line between Venus to the Pluto and Venus to the Neptune, it creates an upside down letter Y.
That’s one Finger of God. This is the one that says, in spite of this issue and responsibility and that issue which could be an avoidance of a responsibility, we have to go to the Venus at the top, and embrace our self respect, that inevitable goal you want to achieve, knowing our true character, integrity and confidence, our way of life, and take action from that place of power, rather than the stresses shown in the other areas of our person life.
The 2nd Finger of God is from the Venus at the top left in Leo, sextile the Mars, South Node in Libra on the very left hand side of the wheel in house number 1, both making inconjuncts to the Neptune over on the far right in house number 6 in Libra, forming the 2nd Finger of God.
It creates another letter Y shape – and the tip of the Y is the Neptune on the right.
This Neptune is now the major focus of another shift.
In spite of others’ expectations from us, how they see us, what they want from us, and our social demands, and in spite of your mind’s sizing up what is required for this or that situation, your data, content, communication, notes, preparedness of content of some material, presentation or project, you’re having to shift out feeling stuck and overly concerned with these issues and move to the Neptune’s message which is always the ultimate faith and vision. This message is about being a spiritual conduit and possessing the faith and trust in some project, some activity which could require some human ego surrendering to do this higher thing which could benefit others.
Full Moon September 29
The Full Moon in Aries /Libra on Sept 29 is the culmination of a two week period of handling certain hard work and focus requiring much mental analysis, a performance of perfection and should leave us with a good feeling of accomplishment. At the same time, re-aligning ourselves to our inner true power, and letting go of some old attachment where it might be time to detach or let go of an expectation you might have had, even if it is minor.
The New Moon on September 14 up to the 29th we need to move on with that expectation, especially if it is somehow sabotaging our ultimate place we want to be in and move into a much more functional practical way of life. The 29th is when we’ve reached the maximum moment of clarity about what this journey has been about.
This Full Moon in Aries, is about relating to others in a much more realistic balanced way, and concentrating upon bringing into our lives, something more nurturing, interactive with others, personal, nurturing relationships. The Full Moon would be the last piece of your process you have put yourself through in September, in order to complete a project and are ready to take it to the next stage. It could be a new empowerment, a re-alignment with your true self’s vision and internal worth and power.
So after every thing you’ve discovered about your life, yourself and situations in the past few weeks, by the time you get to this date, September 29, you’re at the maximum understanding of the realizations about yourself or your situation and it’s time to step into that next level of the plan of action…and it’s time the old mindset can be let go of,.
The Entire Full Moon cycle from September 29 up to the next Major Moon Event, which will be October 14, the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra is when we’ve reached maximum culmination, the fullness of your new wisdom and experience…your new full completeness of that work/perfecting/order and upgrading some thing in your life. This cycle provides the perfect platform, the next jumping off point for what life now brings to you to do.
Once again, I’m afraid I’ve loaded you up with so much info! Hoping you can take the things you relate to and put the rest aside. Have a beautiful rest of September!
Vondir,
Christine

Thank you so much.

Right on the money Christine! I really appreciate the emphasis and time spent describing how the Neptune opposing planets in Virgo might out picture and how it might feel. I wrote notes and affirmations in my planner to anchor it and remember when temptation creeps in.
One of you best reports Christine, and right when a lot of us really needed it. Whew!
Thank you, as always.
