The Sun’s entry into a new sign (7:50AM PDT) — Libra — carries an extra dose of concern in 2012. The reason is that a little less than 5 hours from this point a quarter-moon cycle will come into the picture — equating with a rapid rise in tensions across the board. Here’s how this situation comes into being. First, the Sun shifts gears from earthy Virgo to airy Libra at 7:50AM PDT. Nothing really seems amiss and there is now a 30-day focus on improving the quality of primary partnerships as well as picking up the pace in the fine or graphic arts. However, a seemingly innocent Moon-Saturn 60-degree rapport (9:46AM PDT) begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 12:22PM PDT (when the Moon enters hardnosed and industrious Capricorn). It is then at 12:42PM PDT that a potentially strong problem manifests when the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase clocks in — energizing 1 degree of Libra and Capricorn. Therefore, we now have not only a solar-lunar 90-degree square pattern that can signify stormy emotions affecting millions of people, but the places in the zodiac where they are doing the square (at 1 degree of Libra and Capricorn) carry archetypal significance, referring to the state of the society as a whole and the corporate-business-professional climate as a whole. Hopefully, due to the relatively quick motion of the Moon, multiple crises will be averted as cool heads prevail over temperamental individuals who are on ego trips. Relax in a hot tub or enjoy a whirlpool treatment later on as the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree link to the healing celestial body Chiron (11:04PM PDT).
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 20
Slow your pace across the board as many alignments arrive within this 24-hour tinderbox. The early hours reveal the Moon parallel Pluto (5:37AM PDT) and a Moon-Sun supportive, 60-degree liaison (6:12AM PDT) that unfortunately also starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 9:35AM PDT. Try not to make waves and upset the status-quo during the 3+ hour void time-span as Mercury is also forming an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Chiron (7:38AM PDT). Under these circumstances, patience is a cardinal virtue. The Moon’s shift from Scorpio to Sagittarius — always an intense one each month — does provide some mirth and upbeat vibrations as lunar Sagittarius begins in earnest at 9:35AM PDT. Usually Sagittarius Moon is a time-period for fun, games, sports and reaching long-sought literary or educational goals. However, look at the following list: the Moon makes its monthly union with Juno (11:15AM PDT); Juno squares Neptune (1:40PM PDT); Mercury opposes Uranus (3:24PM PDT); Mercury is contra-parallel Uranus (4:07PM PDT); Mercury squares Pluto (4:22PM PDT); and Venus makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Jupiter (8:46PM PDT). The Moon with Juno and Venus harmonizing with Jupiter are thumbs-up sky patterns that can be ultra-empowering. Nonetheless, the other four aspects — three of which include Mercury — suggest that psychic storm warnings should be posted in very conspicuous locations. As the Sufi saying goes, trust in the divine, but tie up your camel. Keep hope alive, but acting with a sense of caution and conservation makes total sense.
Emotions run strong today, yet they may hit a wall. We might feel alone and separated from someone we love as Venus, the planet of desire, aligns with Saturn, the planet of resistance. We reach out, but fall short of satisfaction. Thankfully, action-hero Mars forms a harmonious trine with healer Chiron, enabling us to overcome some of the obstacles to pleasure. Additionally, the impulsive Aries Moon encourages us to push our feelings to the edge.
