SEPTEMBER 6, 2002 - NEW MOON- 14 VIRGO 20 - 10:10 PM CDT

Fall is always the time for that back-to-school craving for fresh notebooks, pristine folders, and sharpened pencils.  The New Moon in Virgo squaring Pluto boosts that energy with a push toward cutting deep
into the old junk in our lives and getting organized.   This is only for
you -- don't try to force (Pluto) your system on others (and don't throw out other people's stuff until you're looking for a big fight). 
[This came across my 'virtual' desk this week.  If you have trouble keeping your email inbox clean, a helpful tip is at: http://www.email911.com/tips/090202.txt ]
 

SEPT. 11, 2002 - JUPITER OPPOSED NEPTUNE - 8 LEO/AQUARIUS

Just saying "September 11th" brings many emotions to the minds of Americans.  Astrologically,  the Jupiter opposing Neptune may increase the already potent sentiments and responses.  For those on the spiritual path, this is a powerful opening into the Jupiter-Neptune cycle -- two planets that relate to acquiring wisdom and seeing more deeply into subtle states of consciousness and the true nature of Reality.  Take time for meditation.  Send peace and blessings to all beings and avoid arguments about religion and politics.  Because the aspect is an opposition, it emphasizes the polarity between government versus individual freedom, the letter of the law opposed to the spirit of the law, and book learning compared to inner contemplation.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2002 - MERCURY RETROGRADE - 13 LIBRA

With Mercury in Libra, pay particular attention to legal contracts (read the fine print) and partnership commitments.  Mercury's sextile to Pluto makes it a good time to do more research on your special projects (for the three weeks Mercury is retrograde), rather than making this a time for new beginnings.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2002 - FULL MOON - 28 PISCES 25 - 8:59 AM CDT

Timing slow and frustrations high with this Full Moon squaring Saturn. You may feel that a big obstacle is blocking your way, but it's temporary.  Your best bet is to focus on your highest priority and commit to one step at a time.  Any clearing out and re-organizing work done at the New Moon will pay off at this time.  Saturn can make you feel hyper-restrictive -- don't overdo any dieting -- make sure you are eating nutritiously and healthfully.

BEGINNER'S CORNER:  Playing with Keywords

A student was asking about how to interpret a transit, in this case a grand trine between Venus, Saturn, and Uranus.  I suggested that she make a sentence out of key words i.e. beauty (Venus) combining harmoniously (trine) with practicality (Saturn) and creativity (Uranus). Then try another sentence using other keywords for the same planets and
aspect:  Money (Venus) by constructing (Saturn trine) electronic technology (Uranus).  Or how about pleasant relationships (Venus trine) with both down-to-earth (Saturn) and eccentric (Uranus) people.  Try to think of as many keyword combinations as you can.  Play around with keywords in this simple but effective way till you're comfortable. Advance by adding in keywords for planets in signs, planets in houses, and house rulerships. Have fun! 

Some good books for keywords:

ASTROLOGY FOR YOURSELF by Douglas Bloch & Demetra George 

THE RULERSHIP BOOK: A Directory of Astrological Correspondences
by Rex E. Bills 

THE BOOK OF RULERSHIPS: Keywords from Classical Astrology
by J. Lee Lehman 

ASTROLOGICAL KEYWORDS by Manly P. Hall
