We are in an eclipse season now, which happens twice a year. The best way to use an Eclipse is to release any old patterns that are no longer serving you. A Total Lunar Eclipse will take place on September 7th and will be visible in Australia, Asia, Europe and Africa. This Lunar Eclipse will be in Pisces and will join other planets in Pisces too. This is an ideal time to let go of any issues that have been bothering you emotionally.
Two weeks later on September 21st a Partial Solar Eclipse will occur and be visible in the Northern Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic regions. In addition to the Eclipse, there is a large grouping of planets in Virgo. This happens on the Fall Equinox, which makes it much more powerful. Use this Eclipse to organize as much as possible in preparation for the upcoming autumn season.
There is a powerful transit that has just begun and will be with us for years to come. Pluto in Aquarius is now exactly trine to Uranus in Gemini. They will be aligned with each other all the way until 2028. Since they have both recently entered new air signs, this trine is much more powerful. Pluto is Aquarius is We the People since Aquarius relates to society and humanity. Uranus is the planet associated with Aquarius, which strengthens the connection with Pluto. Uranus in Gemini inspires us all to think in a different way. It’s time to learn new things, take classes and be vocal. Maybe join a humanitarian group to give back to the world.
We have just entered a new phase in humanity. Don’t be surprised if things change quickly and for the better! You are in charge of your future and now is the time to focus on what you want to do. Pluto is empowering you and will for years.
About the visible planets, most of the action is now in the predawn sky. Jupiter, Venus and Saturn can be easily seen before sunrise. Mars is the only planet visible in the evening sky, and he will soon be lost in the glow of the Sun.
See you next in Libra.
