Current Moon Phase for Sept. 7: Waning Gibbous

Waning Gibbous Moon

(waning /54% illumination)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

New Moon Report for September 6 – Venus in Leo

Venus in Leo

Thursday, September 6, 7:48 am PDT, 10:48 am EDT

The love planet’s presence in heartfelt Leo adds drama and excitement to relationships. We need the thrills of romance and play to satisfy our powerful desires now. Taking risks in showing emotions pushes the potential of joy higher, but at the possible expense of looking foolish. Yet don’t let pride stop you from enjoying the bright lights of expectation and performing brave acts of generosity and self-expression. The more that’s given with love the more we eventually receive in return.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 6

What happens when several alignments — challenging and encouraging — occur during an extensive void lunar cycle in Taurus? That’s what you will discover during most of today as the Moon in the second sign of the zodiac is somewhat out of sorts and in void condition until 9:11PM PDT when the Moon will enter airy Gemini.  Opportunities for forward progress certainly seem to be manifesting concerning healing matters and love bonds early on when Chiron makes a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Pluto (2:25AM PDT) followed quickly by the Moon bring parallel to Venus (2:28AM PDT). However, with the Moon being void, perhaps the Chiron-Pluto and Moon-Venus aspects will be less effective than normal.  Several hours later, Vesta makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Uranus (7:05AM PDT) — an alignment that should help you to increase the value of your investments and assets. Nevertheless, the presence of the void Moon could water down that energy-field.  Venus shifts from Cancer to Leo (7:49AM PDT) — a cycle that lasts until October 3. Another fairly strong alignment — Venus moving 45-degrees to Jupiter (10:47AM PDT) — occurs under the void lunar aegis, and could influence it one way or another, toward building up good fortune or warning human souls not to overdo a good thing.  Eventually, the guessing games will stop at 9:11PM PDT when the void cycle ends and Gemini Moon begins — emphasizing reading, writing, arts, crafts and hobbies over the next 2+ day lunar dispensation in the third sign of the zodiac. Hit the history or biography books later on when Mercury makes a 45-degree link with Saturn (9:45PM PDT). It makes sense to learn from your mentors and teachers.
