All Signs
In the middle of this week, fair Venus will dance with unpredictable Uranus making everyone restless and keen for adventure! Surprise invitations to unusual events might occur. Romance will be scintillating and love at first sight is possible. Something to look forward to! Meanwhile, let’s do a reality check about where we have been and where we are. Astrology gives us a wonderful roadmap to get a clearer picture of your game plan. (Even if you don’t have a game plan, tomorrow will arrive, whether you plan for it or not.) I love the quote by Dwight Eisenhower: “In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” So true!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Midweek, you might enjoy romance or a saucy flirtation? You might get a chance to improve the appearance of your work station. Some of you might even get a surprise raise? Or pleasant news about your health? Meanwhile, lucky Jupiter is in your sign, and it will stay there until May of next year. (Yes, it will slip back into Pisces for seven weeks at the end of the year – no biggie.) Jupiter brings you good fortune! Since Jupiter can be in your sign only once every 12 years, make the most of this! Since 2018, you’ve been on a roll. Your challenge now is to figure out how to take time for yourself and yet, satisfy the demands and needs of groups, clubs and friends. There’s only 24 hours in a day. How can you best handle this?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Surprising social events and entertaining diversions including exciting romance will be a major perk midweek. Yay! Meanwhile, it’s important to know that this is your time of harvest, when your cherished dreams are coming true. Admittedly, you will experience failure because that’s what happens during harvest. You see what works; you see what doesn’t work. Even though you have many responsibilities, this is a productive time for you! That’s why this can be one of the most rewarding times of your life. You will continue to work hard as well as spend money until your birthday next year. (Caution about wasteful spending to gratify your ego.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Forgive me for repeating this: Normally, fiery Mars is in your sign for six weeks once every two years. Right now, it’s in your sign until April 2023! (Seven months!) You’re PowerPoint on steroids! Although you might overwhelm friends and partners with your drive and enthusiasm, you can use this increased physical energy to get a lot done! You will also be more of a fighter for your own rights as well as the rights of others. This is a popular year for you, so get out and schmooze! Continue to get your ducks in a row because next year, you enter your time of harvest, which occurs only once every 30 years. Meanwhile, spontaneous entertaining plus shopping for home will occur midweek. Enjoy!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is an amazing year for you because you look so successful to others. Indeed, many of you are blessed with promotions, awards and accolades for your efforts, if not now, then later in the year. Ironically, recently, you have had to get along with less. For some of you, this is because you have finished some intense encounters with partners, which meant you had to divide assets and make changes. Whatever the cause, you are now forced to stand on your own two feet, which you do very well, thank you. Be ready for a fun surprise midweek. Perhaps an entertaining diversion with a friend, sibling, relative or neighbour? If an invitation comes your way – say yes!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Keep your eyes open midweek because a sudden windfall might come your way. You might get an unexpected raise or a gift or even money? Likewise, you might make an impulsive purchase of something beautiful that pleases you. Meanwhile, this year you want to travel and do anything you can to expand your horizons. Many of you are also exploring opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law, and possibly, higher education. Certainly, partnerships and close friendships have been challenging. In fact, some have bit the dust. In part, this is why you are so goal oriented right now, planning for your future. Enjoy physical activity with friends, such as athletics because this will energize you!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Something delightful will surprise you this week. A fun invitation, a spontaneous social situation, or a flirtation? If it requires a response, act quickly because this window of opportunity is brief. Financial delays are par for the course with Mercury retrograde in your Money House. Cheques in the mail will be late. In either case, you are working hard; in fact, you are busting your buns, which is why at times, you feel overwhelmed. Fear not – you can handle this. Your effectiveness as a human being is being tested. Fortunately, gifts, goodies and benefits are coming to you this year, perhaps indirectly through a partner. No matter how they come – it’s good news for you, practically and financially. Ka-ching!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is an excellent year for partnerships. In fact, this is the best year in over a decade for Librans to get married. Meanwhile, many of you have had increased responsibilities with children. In turn, this may have impinged upon your social life and made you withdraw from encounters with others. Ironically, part of you wants to travel and explore new horizons. Nevertheless, you can satisfy this urge by learning more through books and film. Be patient this month with Mercury retrograde in your sign. It can help you in times of introspection, as well as dealing with people and issues from your past.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This year you can either improve your existing job or get a better job! It’s important to know this. (If born late in your sign, this influence continues well into next year.) Meanwhile, since 2012, you have been reinventing yourself. In the last few years, life has been a roller coaster but now, it’s important for you to solidify your home base. This might require home repairs as well as repairing family relationships, including disputes about inheritances or shared property. Expect invitations to surprising events midweek. Grab every chance to socialize with others because your interactions with others will help you discover more about who you are.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You look fabulous to everyone while the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. Midweek, an unexpected flirtation with a boss or some kind of perk from an authority figure will come your way! Look good because something will happen. This year is a wonderful time for vacations and chances to express your creative talents. Relations with your kids will improve. You might be proud of them. Since 2020, many of you have been in a state of flux with residential moves and job changes. This will stabilize next year. Meanwhile, be patient with partners and close friends while Mars is opposite your sign until May of next year. Patience is the antidote to anger.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Around 2015, you began to downsize your life. By 2018, you set off on a new path; and this year, you have marvellous opportunities to improve where you live. You are also giving serious thought to your values. What is important? You don’t want to be 90 years old, looking in the mirror thinking, “You blew it!” More than any other sign, you like a well-planned ending. Fortunately, you have a lot of energy to work. You’re working hard and also working to improve your health. (This could sound like a contradiction.) Your devotion to accomplishing a lot, as well as improving your health, will continue until next spring. Be ready for unexpected travel opportunities midweek!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This has been a playful, upbeat year that has been busy! Oh yes, you’ve been hopping! However, you are happy. No need to feel selfish but admit it – in the latter part of this year, and until next spring, you can practically do what you want. You can put your own needs first. You can be playful, independent and claim to the world, “I am!” (Admittedly, conflict with kids might rankle.) Essentially, this is an optimistic time for you, which means enjoy your good fortune! You have been reinventing yourself for the last two years, (a process that is finished in about five years). Expect gifts, goodies and surprises midweek!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Oh joy! This year, it’s your turn to get richer! You will either earn more money or find a way to save it. The upshot will be that by next year, your assets will have increased – no question. Meanwhile, your home scene has been chaotic and busy due to residential moves, renovations or visiting guests. (Gasp.) You are also in the midst of a time of letting go of people, places and possessions because it’s what you have to do. Do not think of this as a time of loss. Instead, it is a time of lightening up so that you are free to set out on a new path in 2023. A partner or close friend will surprise you this week!

The Many Titles of Queen Elizabeth II

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II
Her Majesty The Queen, since her birth in 1926, has been granted the use of numerous official and unofficial titles and styles befitting her position as a child of a royal Duke, the heir presumptive to the throne, the spouse of a royal Duke and as Sovereign. Although The Queen is known as, simply ‘The Queen’ or ‘Elizabeth II’ by her subjects, this is an oversimplified version of her royal title.
In the United Kingdom, the Queen is officially titled ‘Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith’, with the style of ‘Majesty’. This title was altered in 1953 in order to reflect more clearly the relations of the members of the Commonwealth to one another and of their recognition of the Crown as a symbol of their free association.
Prior to this, as altered following the independence of India in 1947, the title of the Sovereign was ‘Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Queen, Defender of the Faith’.
In Her Majesty’s other fifteen realms, variations of this title are officially used, reflecting her position as the head of state in these countries. These, in most cases, follow the style of ‘Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of [name of the Commonwealth Realm] and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth’, which applies to most of her other realms.
In the realms of Canada and Granada, Her Majesty’s title denotes her position as Queen of the United Kingdom; in Canada, the title is ‘Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith’. In Grenada, her title is ‘… Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Grenada and Her other Realms and Territories…’. New Zealand follows a similar way of referring to the Queen, but include the title ‘Defender of the Faith’.
As well as these official titles, there are many unofficial titles that the Queen has been granted. Her Majesty The Queen was awarded the title ‘Mother of all People’ by the Salish nation in Canada. In Jamaica, Her Majesty is unofficially known in Jamaican Patois as ‘Missis Queen’ or ‘The Queen Lady’. In New Zealand, The Queen is unofficially known as ‘the White Heron’ by the Maori people, a cherished bird rarely seen in New Zealand.
In addition to these affectionate titles, Her Majesty The Queen is also known by various historic but informal titles. In the Channel Islands, consisting of the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey and their dependencies, The Queen is known as the Duke of Normandy. This title reflects the fact that these islands had been part of the Duchy of Normandy since the 10th century. However, The Queen reigns as Queen and is also referred to as ‘The Crown in Right of Jersey/Guernsey’, although sometimes referred to as ‘The Queen, Our Duke’.
From 2010, The Queen has been called ‘Queen of Gibraltar’ in a semi-official way. This title appeared on a Gibraltarian £5 coin and now appears on Gibraltarian and British government documents in reference to The Queen as Sovereign in Gibraltar. However, as a British Overseas Territory, the Rock does not enjoy this as an official title in the same way that the Commonwealth Realms enjoy differing titles.
Even though Fiji abolished their monarchy in 1987, The Queen was still known, unofficially, as ‘Tui Viti’ which translates as ‘Paramount Chief’. The Great Council of Chiefs, a constitutional body disbanded in 2012, recognised The Queen as being the incumbent holder of these titles, although these titles were not recognised by the Fijian government.
For republicans, the unofficial address of ‘Mrs. Windsor’ has entered into circulation as a pejorative title to demonstrate discontent towards the existence of the monarchy. However, this title is not one that will be received with disdain from some and disregard by many.

September’s Full Moon Wants You To Dream Big
With so much emphasis on logic, information, and details these days amid Virgo season, I’m sure you could benefit from a nice, relaxing vacation to get some relief from your busy schedule. While taking time off to plan a trip may not be at the top of your list of priorities at the moment, who’s to say you can’t use your imagination as a form of escapism? With the upcoming full moon in the dreamy, idealistic sign of Pisces preparing to illuminate the cosmos, the sense of urgency you’ve felt around keeping busy is bound to melt away, and your desire to envision what’s possible is coming into focus. As a mutable earth sign, Virgo season has been all about being of service, and while this has likely allowed you to cross plenty of tasks off your to-do list, it hasn’t left much space to tap into your creative side. Though being rooted in a realistic Virgo world promotes efficiency and productivity, the spiritual meaning of the September 2022 full Harvest Moon is all about focusing less on the nitty-gritty details, and embracing what’s possible — even if it’s currently not right in front of you.
As a mutable water sign, Pisces is a sign all about ideals, and not necessarily about actuality. It’s an energy that promotes envisioning what could be, regardless of what the current circumstances may look like. As the moon prepares to fill up with the sun’s productivity-oriented rays on Sept. 10, your dreams will be illuminated, prompting you to tap into your imagination, regardless of whether or not it makes sense. Since Jupiter — the planet of wisdom, growth, and expansion — rules this full moon and is currently retrograde in Aries, it may be somewhat challenging to move forward with any major plans (especially since Mercury’s stationing retrograde the day before), but this full moon is less about taking action and more about giving your mind the space to think outside the box. Consider what’s possible when you don’t limit yourself.
What Is A Harvest Moon?
A harvest moon is a full moon that takes place annually, right around the fall equinox. The rare thing about this full moon is that it takes place at the same time every evening a few nights in a row, and lends its light to farmers looking to harvest their crops before fall arrives, which is where it gets its name. This annual lunation is also commonly referred to as a Corn Moon or an Autumn Moon.
When Is The September 2022 Full Harvest Moon In Pisces?
The full Harvest Moon in Pisces will take place on Sept. 10, 2022 at 6:00 a.m. EST. Taking place in Pisces at 17 degrees, this lunation will shed light on the Pisces-ruled house in your birth chart, illuminating the dreams and ideals you’ve possibly been neglecting. Since Virgo season’s been in full swing, you’ve likely been more tapped into your logical mind, where it’s been easy to sight of the bigger picture. With this full moon bringing your attention back to your hopes and ideals, you’ll be reminded that in order to be the most productive, you can’t lose sight of your purpose. Remaining rooted in reality will allow your dreams to come to fruition, so it’s important to allow them to work together. Too much logic stifles creativity, and too much dreaming can keep you from taking action, so be sure not to lose sight of what you’re ultimately striving for.

THERE ARE 1 TOO MANY RETROGRADE PLANETS IN SEPTEMBER — INCLUDING MERCURY
A new month is upon us, which means that a new set of planetary transits is on the horizon, including retrogrades. Retrogrades are usually dreaded in the astro community, but it’s important to remember that they don’t always spell doom and gloom. When outer planets like Uranus and Neptune station retrograde, the effects aren’t as intense as when inner planets such as Venus and Mercury station retrograde. And even when the inner planets station, it’s only for a short period. So, while the number of retrograde planets in September 2022 may sound like too much to handle, it’s not as daunting as you may think (even though Mercury is one of them).
What Is A Retrograde?
A retrograde takes place when a planet essentially slows down, causing the planet to appear to move backward in the sky from our place on Earth. In reality, the planet isn’t actually moving backward, but it is moving much slower than normal, which is where the retrograde mishaps can come into play. A retrograde is what takes place when a planet reaches a certain distance away from the sun, called a trine, which coincides with the beginning and end of a retrograde cycle. Since Mercury typically retrogrades about three times every year, the effects are usually more noticeable and discussed, especially since it’s the planet that rules over speech, communication, and transportation. Since the outer planets don’t rule over mundane topics, their effects aren’t always as apparent, at least not initially.
How Many Planets Will Be Retrograde In September 2022?
This month, six planets in total will be retrograding through the cosmos — but five of them stationed retrograde prior to this month, and they’re all outer planets. The good thing is, you’ve experienced the retrogrades of each of these planets every single year, so it’s nothing you can’t handle.
What To Expect From September 2022’s Retrograde Planets
Though six planets retrograde is literally more than half of the sky, it’s nothing to worry about, because only one of these planets will actually be stationing retrograde in September.
- Uranus in Taurus on Aug. 24
- Jupiter stationed retrograde in Aries on July 28
- Neptune in Pisces on June 28
- Saturn stationed retrograde in Aquarius on June 4
- Pluto in Capricorn on April 28
The only planet that will actually station retrograde this month is Mercury, on Sept. 9. As a planet that stations retrograde pretty often, the themes of Mercury rx may already be engrained in your mind: texts sent to the wrong person, delayed or canceled travel plans, and Instagram going down, to name a few. Generally, Mercury retrogrades are typically a time to review, revise, and rethink the topics Mercury occupies over in your birth chart. Be sure to look not only at where Mercury will be stationing retrograde, but also at the astrological houses that Mercury rules over (Gemini and Virgo-ruled houses) in your birth chart. These are the areas prone to revisions, while the house Mercury actually stations in may be where you’re called to actualize these changes.
Mercury Retrograde (Sept. 9-Oct. 2)
Mercury is the planet all about details, information, and communication. When it stations retrograde, it can cause these themes to be more challenging, particularly based on the sign it’s stationing retrograde in. This time around, Mercury will initially be stationing retrograde in the cardinal air sign of Libra, prompting you to reconsider how you mediate, connect, and find balance in your life. As a sign ruled by Venus, Libra is all about treating people fairly and taking the time to understand every side to a story. Since Mercury will be retrograde, however, it may be challenging to receive accurate information during this time, so it’ll be important that you double check any messages that come your way now.
On Sept. 23, Mercury will retrograde back into the mutable earth sign of Virgo, grounding communication in a way that’s logical and efficient. Since this is the sign where Mercury is exalted, the second half of Mercury retrograde is bound to feel slightly more productive than the first half. With Mercury still retrograde, however, don’t expect productivity to be linear now. Instead, use this time to assess details and information, but don’t feel too much pressure to tackle everything listed on your to-do list until Mercury stations direct on Oct. 2.

Celtic Vine Month: September 2 – September 29
Vine – the tree of joy
From Ireland-Calling.com
Vines, or grape vines, didn’t reach the shores of Ireland until the Romans introduced wine around 2000 years ago.
The bramble, however, is native to the cool climate of Northern Europe, shares the winding characteristics and bares sweet fruit like the vine. This is why the ogham muin could represent either the vine or the bramble.
Since the introduction of wine to Ireland, the country has had a long love affair with both the plant and the drink, believed to loosen the tongue, release inhibitions and consumed by seers to stimulate prophecy.
Wine
During the 9th century, Viking traders who had already settled in the Loire Valley would bring wine to Ireland and it later became used as a tribute to the king; one ton of wine for each day in the year.
Wine was a big part of the feast culture of the old chieftains and, in later years it was Irish emigrants escaping English rule, known now as ‘Winegeese’ who were responsible for introducing vineyards to many countries throughout the world.
In mythology the vine is sacred to the Greek gods Dionysus and Osiris and the Roman God Bacchus. The vine is known as the tree of joy, exhilaration and wrath and is believed to be one of the sacred woods burned on the Beltane fires in Britain and Ireland representing joy and happiness.
Romans and Greeks celebrated the vine tree
The Romans and Greeks also had a festival involving the vine called Vinalia Rostica which celebrated and gave thanks the first harvest.
In the Celtic tree calendar the vine represents harvest time and the beginning of Autumn. The Autumn Equinox and festival of Mabon falls within the vine month, a festival of thanksgiving and learning.
In Christian belief, wine was the drink shared by Christ at the last supper and is still consumed in churches for this reason. It was the monasteries who cultivated the vine in Ireland and the British Isles for it could not grow in the wild as brambles could.
The bramble bush…
Christians had a very different story involving the Bramble. It was that when the devil was thrown out of heaven he landed on a bramble bush. This made him so angry that he cursed the plant and spat upon it.
Because of this, it was wrong to eat the fruit of the bramble after Michaelmas, September 29th, because the devil enters them.
This belief had a few variations. In Celtic Brittany it was said to be because of the fairies, and, in Wales, simply because they were poisonous by that time.
This is not actually the case, however certain insects do begin to lay their eggs on the ripened fruit during October which could well have been the cause of some stomach upsets.
Bramble wood was used in basket weaving and to make beehives, in a similar way to willow and bramble was often planted with hawthorn, sometimes known as the fairy tree, in hedgerows in order to bind a hedge.
Perhaps the close association to these very pagan trees and old ways is what made the Christians link the Bramble to a story about the devil.

Muin, M – The vine represents the eleventh letter in the ogham alphabet, muin, and the tenth month in the Celtic tree calendar.

Vine Moon: September 2 – September 29
From LearnReligions.com
The Vine month is a time of great harvest — from the grapes of the Mediterranean to the fruits of the northern regions, the Vine produces fruits we can use to make that most wondrous concoction called wine. The Celts called this month Muin. The Vine is a symbol of both happiness and wrath — passionate emotions, both of them. Do magical workings this month connected to the Autumn Equinox, or Mabon, and celebrate garden magic, joy and exhilaration, wrath and rage, and the darker aspect of the mother goddess. Use the leaves of the Vines to enhance your own ambition and goals. during this month. The month of Vine is also a good time to get balanced, as there are equal hours of darkness and light.

Pagan and Magickal Terms and Definitions
Today’s Word is
Folk Magick
From moonlitpriestess.com
Practice of magick utilizing personal power in conjunction with natural tools and objects, most often in a non-religious framework. May refer specifically to old folk traditions and customs. Sometimes used to refer to a style of Witchcraft and/or spellcasting that does not follow formal and ceremonial approaches to spells and rituals; more loose in form, though still containing the necessary aspects required for effective magick. May be referred to as “low magick” which was a classist term used to differentiate the folk magick of peasants from the ceremonial magick of the elite classes.

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 6:30 AM to 1:30 PM EDT today (3:30 AM to 10:30 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Clashes with authority figures might take place today. It might be dicey dealing with partners and close friends. Take note: Your ruler Mars is in your House of Communications, which makes you verbally aggressive. Dial things down a notch.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might disagree with someone who wants to make changes at work or introduce reforms. Or possibly, you are the person who wants to make improvements? Plant the seed and let it flourish. Some things take time.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Parents — be patient with your kids today because this is the classic day for hissy fits and meltdowns. Remember you were a kid once, yourself. Don’t get hung up on trying to be in control or getting caught up in a power struggle. Take the long-range view.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Power struggles with family members might take place today, especially concerning home repairs. (Everybody’s got their own approach.) Remember – there are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Avoid squabbles with neighbours, siblings and relatives today because this temptation might arise. Don’t take the bait. If you do, you might end up in a situation where people are annoyed and now you don’t speak to each other. It was ever thus. Be cool.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Squabbles about possessions, money, finances or values might take place today. But these might be power struggles. Years from now, will any of this matter? Probably not. Don’t get involved. You can take the high road because the Sun is in your sign and Mars is at the top of your chart. You’re the top dog.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This morning, the Moon is in your sign, which can make you more emotional than usual. This might be why you find yourself at odds with a family member or anyone in a position of authority. You won’t like this because you need harmony. You like to get along with everyone. Stay frosty.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Something going on behind the scenes might irk you today. Wait until the Moon enters your sign (see Moon Alert above) because after that, things will tend to go your way. For two days every month, the Moon is in your sign and when that occurs – you have the advantage.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Don’t get your belly in a rash talking to a friend today or a member of a group because things might go off the rails. Keep it light. Let it go because with the Sun at the top of your chart, you are admired. You look great! (Be nice to the little people.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Avoid squabbles with parents, bosses, teachers, authority figures and the police today because you don’t need this. You like to make a good impression on others because you like the respect of others. Plus, why burn bridges? You’re too smart for that.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Sometimes it’s worth taking up the torch and fighting for the cause you believe in. In fact, most of the times it’s worth it. But today, clashes over ideology, bigotry and politics are probably just power struggles. Don’t even go there because it’s a waste of energy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Squabbles about inheritances, debt, insurance issues, taxes and shared property might take place today, especially this morning. Take a long-range view because with lucky, moneybags Jupiter in your House of Earnings this is a financially excellent year for you. Relax.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Richard Gere (1949) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent, witty and very expressive. You are also highly individualistic. You are an organized person who takes their responsibilities seriously. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means you are letting go of what is finished. It’s time to take inventory and let go of anyone or anything that is holding you back.
