November 2025: Uranus returns to Taurus, Jupiter/Mercury retrograde

 

This month the Sun finishes its transit through Scorpio and enters Sagittarius, the last sign of fall. Mercury turns retrograde November 9^th until the 29^th and will transit from Sagittarius back into Scorpio again where it turns direct late November. Mars enters Sagittarius on the 4th and will begin a volatile transit with Uranus. Jupiter, the money planet turns retrograde and Saturn turns direct. Uranus will re-enter the sign Taurus for one last pass through this sign and re-enter Gemini again late April 2026.

We will experience a full moon in Taurus and a new moon in Scorpio. This will set off the 2^nd/8^th house axis of the zodiac which means a great deal of the month will focused on money both collectively and individually.

Now, the details.

October 31-November 1^st, Mercury is opposing Uranus in Gemini. This can be exciting for some and make others nervous. With this transit we can typically expect change of some sort that may be unexpected or we could experience unexpected communication. Use care if driving.

November 4^th, Mars enters Sagittarius and begins its opposition to Uranus. You will be personally affected if you have mutable planets (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces) at 0-2 degrees.

This is a transit of unexpected events, volatility and potential explosions or explosive circumstances in the world so use care. In our personal lives we could see some type of unexpected change or tempers could easily flare.

Uranus rules technology, aircraft, spacecraft, electricity, innovation and freedom. Uranus is typically involved in coups, airplane crashes, technology breakdowns and unexpected events. It can also be indicative of accidents.

This transit will be with us through at least the 8^th and its affects will linger even longer albeit it is waning. This will be the most volatile aspect of the month.

Mars enters Sagittarius

Expect energy as well as our actions to become more jovial, positive and optimistic, as Sagittarius is typically among the most positive and energetic of signs. Mars-Sagittarius will encourage us to find and act on our own independent nature. Freedom is a theme with Mars in this sign, as well as the key to the energy. Sagittarius does not like feeling bogged down in structures or relationships. Energy is often playful and this time can be full of unexpected pleasant surprises.

Sagittarius is an expansive sign, and is ruled by the planet Jupiter, considered the ‘greater benefic,’ and the harbinger of luck making Sagittarius is the most ‘lucky’ sign of all.  Justice and honesty are also key words associated with Sagittarius and truth is extremely important to Sagittarius whatever the truth may reveal.

Sagittarius is interested in expanding the personal viewpoint and adventure. Don’t be surprised if you don’t want to explore new ways of approaching things and different ways of dealing with old problems or issues.

Sagittarius loves travel. Many will be traveling this month, and if you aren’t don’t be surprised if you don’t find yourself looking at future faraway destinations for the New Year.

Sagittarius or the 9^th house, also rules education, higher learning and philosophy. All education does not have to be formal and you could find yourself trying to expand your mind or education in some way without going back to school. On the other hand if this is what you desire, now is an opportune time to actually return to school.

The 9^th house also rules courts and legal issues, and world view so it is likely we will hear some important judicial rulings during Mars time in Sagittarius. Our world view or philosophies could also take a front seat during this transit of Mars or change in some way.

The downside of Sagittarius is restlessness, and over expansiveness.  While Sagittarius may mean well over committing to things is an issue to watch out for as Sag always like to ‘go big or go home.’ Another trait of Sag is an inability to commit to things or coming across as changeable depending on the day and the emotional weather

November 5^th full moon in Taurus

This month’s full moon falls at 13 degrees of Taurus. Taurus is ruled by planet Venus and is the 2^nd house of the zodiac which rules money/income. Venus is the ruler of money, love, beauty and values.  The moon itself makes no harsh aspects.

The moon sextiles Jupiter which is positive and uplifting but unfortunately Mars opposition to Uranus during this full moon makes this a volatile, changeable and unpredictable period. Moon-Jupiter however should help with some balance and positivity but it won’t negate the Uranus aspect.

November 6^th, Venus enters Scorpio until November 29^th.

Venus in Scorpio is considered at its detriment which means its energies are a little more difficult to work with. This does not mean that it is negative, just a different type of energy. This sign will work quite well for the Water signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

Venus in Scorpio can become so intense that at worst some could feel obsessively entangled with someone else they may not even know that well. Since Scorpio is water sign feelings and emotions can seem overpowering or deep and this can be difficult for Fire and Air signs.

And then, there is the sex. Scorpio is known as the sexiest of the twelve signs and for Scorpio sex is at the top of the list. Scorpio is complex and craves intimacy like air but they are not always open in terms of what they should tell or express to their lover. Venus in Scorpio will bring about much more intensity and passion.

November 7^th, Uranus re-enters Taurus

Uranus has been in the sign of Gemini since July 7^th and returns to Taurus one more time November 7^th until April 26, 2026 and this represents its final pass in this sign. When it returns to Gemini it will remain in this sign until May 2033. It takes Uranus 84 years to circle the zodiac so it is unlikely any of us reading this will experience this transit again.

Uranus entered Taurus May of 2018 and much has changed since then. With Uranus’s re-entrance into Taurus I believe we can expect to see more news about resources, natural resources, food and farming since Taurus rules the earth. At the time of this post US farmers are suffering greatly due to the current President’s stance on tariffs and new numbers show inflation rising especially food costs.

When Uranus is at 29 degrees in November and again April 2026 it is considered to be a critical period. The 29^th degree is called the anaretic degree and major events often occur. We may be seized with a feeling we only have a short time to correct things.

 Uranus rules technology, freedom, upheaval, explosions, aircraft and electricity and future advancements. It also rules all forms of communication.  While Taurus rules the 2^nd house of money with Venus as its ruling planet, Gemini rules the 3^rd house of communication and its planetary ruler is Mercury the planet of communication.

When Uranus or any of the outer planets change signs we typically see significant events play out in the world around this time.

Also on November 7^th, Venus squares Pluto. This can affect love and money. Pluto has an obsessive quality to it that can at times result in bad behavior. Feelings can be very deep and based on compulsions or something else in the subconscious mind. Pluto rules bullies, power and the abuse of power. If this aspects something in the personal chart you could experience some type of revelation and at worst a relationship could end or a financial event doesn’t work out as planned. It can also represent obsessive worry and over thinking.

Mercury retrogrades November 9^th-29th

This is our final retrograde of the year and Mercury will turn retrograde at 6 degrees of Sagittarius. It moves back into the sign of Scorpio November 18^th and turns direct at 20 degrees of Scorpio on the 29th.

The shadow period is when Mercurial energy begins to change and this began October 20^th. The shadow period after it turns direct will last until December 17^th.

The worst period of the retrograde is typically the 2 stationary periods when the planet has stopped and is beginning to change directions. This would be November 9-13 and November 29-December 1^st. Things are at their most confusing at this point and Mercury is very powerful especially if it aspects something in your personal chart during one if its stations.

Most people know that retrograde Mercury screws up communication, meetings and slows down things in general. Machinery often breaks, people break up and some projects end. This is not the time to buy expensive items, make major decisions or changes, get elective medical procedures or get engaged or married. Do any of these things and do so at your own risk. I have tested this many times and there is always a problem or something has to be changed when it turns direct again.

The purpose of the retrograde is to show us what is and what is not working. To lean this we often have to slow down and reflect. Important information is often uncovered at this time that we need to know to be able to move forward.

This is the worst possible time for holiday shoppers. If you buy gifts during the retrograde expect many of them to be returned or not work out as planned.

Lastly, retrograde Mercury is about the past. We may run into those from the past or that we have known at some point before. The retrograde period is great for catching up with old friends, former clients or anyone from your past. At times old lovers return but a retrograde does not guarantee this!

  November 11^th Jupiter turns retrograde until March 11, 2026

Every year the planet of gain and expansion turns retrograde for roughly 4 months.

In some instances, money matters can be delayed when Jupiter retrogrades, but it does not totally take away the beneficial effects of Jupiter.

Sometimes however, with Jupiter retrograde if a positive aspect is being made, whatever is being shown may not be delivered to the extent hoped for at this time. If so, Jupiter will return again to this degree later in the year, and more positive results may occur then.

. As Jupiter retrogrades, this is a good time to enlarge your internal dialogue to see where you can expend your personal perspective.

We tend to reflect more when Jupiter retrogrades and build ourselves on an inner level as opposed to an outer material level.

It is likely Jupiter’s retrograde will prompt a collective as well as individual reevaluation of our values, security and what makes us feel safe.

November 12^th, Mercury conjuncts Mars for the second time in a month. The first was October 18-19^th in Scorpio. This time the transit will occur in the sign of Sagittarius. This aspect is prone toward anger, frustration, arguments and significant news. Some will feel a type of burning anger or frustration.

November 16^th, the Sun trines Jupiter. This is an expansive and positive transit which is good for just about anything you want to undertake today.

November 19^th /20^th New Moon in Scorpio

Scorpio is the sign that rules the 8^th house which is associated with other people’s money and change and transformation. Its rulers are Mars and Pluto.

This moon trines both Jupiter and Saturn creating a grand trine in the sky which is a positive formation and can give us stability and grounding. It is possible for good things to come from this.

Mercury opposes Uranus today and this is a transit connected to unexpected news and communication. Unexpected events could occur of a shocking nature with any Uranus transit or we could hear news we weren’t expecting. This is a prime aspect for accidents so use caution especially while driving.

The Sun also begins its opposition to Uranus which is another unpredictable transit. Once again, we can expect major events in the world and people may seem changeable. Plans could suddenly change or you could change your mind about something. Some may want to try new things and approaches while others may experience restlessness or nervous energy. This energy will peak in the early morning hours of November 21^st.

November 21^st, the Sun makes 3 major aspects; it opposes Uranus in the early morning hours, then trines Neptune by 8:05 AM, EST. This is a pleasant and even intuitive transit.  By 8:36 PM, EST the Sun enters Sagittarius and the Sagittarius season is on!

The Sun in Sagittarius

Sagittarius is a mutable sign which means changeable and things are always changing during this season. Sagittarius loves new and different things, travel and is always growing.

Mutable planets switch their mode of expression frequently. They often have a natural diplomatic bent, but can often be perceived as unreliable and uncommitted due to their constant changeability. The mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. When the Sun goes into any of these signs we may change our minds and ideas more frequently than normal as we tap into the mutable energy.

Freedom is a theme with this sign and you may feel a desire to be free to pursue your own ideas and goals.  You may even strongly want to cut ties with any person or situation that seems to hold you back.

Sagittarius is self assured, sometimes to the point of cockiness, being totally honest and at times putting their foot in their mouths. If you don’t keep things in check you could express these qualities to the point of annoying someone. Sagittarius is typically so self assured they often don’t realize their boldness can turn some people off. Sagittarius is known for their fiery cheerfulness but their frequently overblown optimism can lead to inflated ideas and expectations.

The downside of Sag can be restlessness, boredom and a lack of attention to details. The old saying, ‘the devil is in the details,’ can be important with the unbridled optimism of Sagittarius can end up with plans changing or going south, when the details become apparent or are left out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The upcoming Saturn-Pluto square of 2028-29

 

There are about 10 major planetary aspects that occur in the skies periodically shaping our collective and individual destinies.  One of the biggest involves Saturn and Pluto. There is no doubt this is a harsh combination. The start of this particular cycle began with a conjunction in January 2020 when Covid became a world event. Of course we experienced the lockdowns and rising death tolls every day.  Pluto and Saturn were  conjunct and in the sign of Capricorn as this began.

This is an aspect that represents a period of intense changes in the world and is associated with geo-political changes although the Spanish Flu at the turn of the century occurred under the same transit. Pluto has now moved to Aquarius and established power structures are generally challenged during this cycle as you will see later in this blog.  Pluto/Aquarius will usher in a period of revolutionary changes around the world. This is a difficult but potentially dynamic period of time and changes that occur may not be easy but are often for the better at the end of the day. Aquarius is the sign of the people opposed to Capricorn which can be associated with extreme wealth and patriarchy. 

Saturn represents our structures and Pluto often represents corruption and power. Saturn enters Taurus April of 2028 and Taurus is associated with money, resources, finances, food and farming and personal/collective values since it is ruled by Venus. Pluto in Aquarius is associated with innovation, collective movements and social change.

The first exact hit of this transit between Pluto and Saturn is on June 28, 2028 at 8 degrees. The 2^nd is November 15, 2028 at 6 degrees and the final hit is March 29, 2029 at 8 degrees again. If you have fixed planets; Taurus, Leo, Aquarius or Scorpio at these degrees or within 2 degrees this aspect will affect you personally and bring about some significant change depending on what it is aspecting in your chart.

Let’s take a look at the last squares between Saturn and Pluto in the past century

-1907-08-Pisces/Gemini

-1922-Libra/Cancer

-1940-Taurus/Leo

-1955-57-Scorpio/Leo

-1973-74-Cancer/Libra

-1993-94-Aquarius/Scorpio

-2001-Note that Saturn and Pluto were in an opposition

-2009-10-Libra/Capricorn

All of these periods coincided with major societal change. In 1907 the world saw Oklahoma statehood, forced sterilization of people in institutions such as prison and mental hospitals for the purpose of eugenics, the panic of 1907 and transatlantic radio came into being.

1922 saw Mussolini’s rise to power, the USSR was formed and it was the end of the Ottoman Empire. The BBC was formed this year

In 1940 the world was at war during WWll.

1955-57 T the Montgomery bus boycott began following Rosa Park’s arrest and the struggle for Civil rights became more pronounced. The polio vaccine was created and we saw the start of the Vietnam War.

1973-74 led to the oil crisis and global recession, the Watergate Scandal, US president Nixon’s resignation and Roe v. Wade was passed.

1993-94 brought about the first World trade Center bombing and the WACO siege. The Rwandan genocide began.  The Russian Constitutional Crisis occurred under Yeltsin when he dissolved Parliament.  Amazon was founded.

2009-10  saw  ‘Arab Spring’. The Affordable Care Act was signed and Michael Jackson suddenly died.

This represents only a fraction of events that occurred during these years and as you can see that while this is a very intense time, strife with conflict, society typically makes many major advances during these times as well. It is a period of global upheaval and the emergence of new inventions, laws and ways of living.

2028-9 will be a test of how well we have collectively handled the systems that we have been building and creating since 2019-2020 when Saturn was conjunct Pluto. If they aren’t working then we will have to transform them into systems that work and with Pluto in Aquarius (power to the people) the systems will have to work for all of us not just the  1%  Let’s not forget the last time Pluto was in Aquarius we saw not only the American Revolution but the very bloody French revolution as well and the end of the Monarchy in France. The people changed things albeit through a very difficult time. That said, I am not predicting another revolution in the US that goes to the extremes of that era.

Pluto in Aquarius has squared Saturn in Taurus 6 times since the year 1000.

-1058 at 24 degrees July 6^th

-1059 at 26 degrees April 24

-1705 at 18 degrees-July 29^th and August 30

-1706 at 18 degrees-April 11

-1794 at 26 degrees-December 11th

-1795 at 27 degrees-April 6th

In 1705 the Virginia Black Code was a law passed by Virginia’s House of Burgess that solidified race-based chattel slavery. This law declared non-Christians from non-Christian lands brought to the colony were slaves for live and established the law that made slaves as property. They were stripped of basic rights such including personal movement the right to bear arms or testify in court.

In 1706 French, Spanish, and Native American allies were fighting against the English colonies and their Native American allies.

1794 was a pivotal year for the United States. The Whiskey Rebellion in particular served as a crucial test for the government, proving that it would enforce the laws of Congress and maintain order. 

The same year also brought about the end of the Reign of Terror in France, and the execution of Robespierre.

Key events in 1795 included the end of the French Revolution's radical phase. Significant treaties were signed in the U.S.

For the sake of brevity I will leave off the European history of 1058-59 but it included significant shifts in power within the Papacy, the continued Norman expansion in Italy, and a major revolt and consolidation of power within the Seljuk Empire.

While this article is focused on the squares between Saturn and Pluto I didn’t want to leave off one of the worst events in US history which occurred in 2001 when Saturn in Gemini opposed Pluto in Sagittarius leading up to the events of September 11 with the destruction of the World Trade Center when jihadists flew planes into the World Trade Center in NYC. This led to the deaths of 2, 996 in New York and Pa when another plane was aimed toward the Pentagon. Saturn and Pluto were in a 2 degree orb and this event clearly shows us how malefic these two planets can be when in hard aspect with each other.

 While Saturn-Pluto transits can be difficult but they also coincide with some of societies greatest leaps forward (after a period of hard work).

2028 will be the beginning of the next election cycle in the US. I won’t go into that at this point but I do believe voters need to be aware of the propensity for abuse, voter suppression, intimidation and power plays that don’t benefit the people. Pluto in Aquarius however will be a great deal of pushback from the people should this occur. It will be a volatile period in the world that will lead to further change by the time we get to this point the world will be far different from what it is today and then change once again.

 

 

 

October 2025; Neptune re-enters Pisces!

 

This month The Sun transits through Libra and enters Scorpio joining Mars and Mercury. Venus transits through Virgo and Libra and Neptune retrogrades back into the sign Pisces one more time. Pluto turns direct and we have a full moon in Aries and a new moon in Libra. Once again we will see many changes in our lives and the world.

Full moon in Aries October 6th at 14 degrees Aries

A full moon in Aries has to do with new beginnings and new starts. Aries rules the first house of self and self motivation and bravery can be one positive side of this sign.  Aries however, is ruled by Mars, known as the God of War. Aries is a fire sign which can move quickly and act decisively. The moons conjunction to Neptune can cause confusion but it’s sextile to Uranus and Pluto will give it support. Aries is sometimes known as being hot headed and we can probably expect to see a number of people acting like this both personally and globally.  This has the potential to be an upbeat time for many however, and if you are looking to start something new and need encouragement or self motivation, now is the time.

Less than 12 hours before the full moon peaks on Monday evening Mercury enters Scorpio and squares Pluto. This is a negative and argumentative transit that can coincide with obsessive behavior, arguments and accidents. Many will be seeking answers and surface explanations will not suffice.

The full moon does not look good in the US chart as it opposes Saturn and squares the Sun. Saturn rules Congress and large institutions, laws and Civil Service and the Sun rules the leader or the President. When I wrote about the September 21^st eclipse I said that it looked quite restrictive. So many things are happening these days it’s hard to keep track but one story that did stand out close to this date was an attempt to suppress freedom of speech by taking comedian Jimmy Kimmel off the air which failed when voters showed their distaste through their pocketbooks.  This full moon looks restrictive in the country as well but with so much happening it will undoubtedly be more than one event.

Venus enters Libra October 13-November 3^rd

Venus in Libra is a great placement for the planet of love, beauty and values but it doesn’t start well. October 13^th Venus opposes Neptune. This can be confusing or it could relate to miscommunication or at worst lies. This in an unclear and deceptive transit making it negative for finances, love or anything of a Venusian nature. By the 14^th this transit will make more positive aspects.

Venus is considered ‘at home’ in Libra as opposed to being ‘at its fall’ in the sign Virgo which we are leaving behind for another year. When Venus or any other planet is considered at home in a sign it means the energy operates easily and smoothly in our lives, unless another harsh aspect is interfering with it.

Venus in Libra seeks balance and harmony, and typically manifests in relationships as compromise, fairness, peace and love! Libra is always searching for balance. This doesn’t mean Libra always has balance, but is always aiming for it.

With Venus is in its ideal placement relationships of all types may seem lighter, happier and people will be more inclined to keep the peace rather than hashing out angry or deep seated issues. We will feel a little more relationship oriented and there will be more focus on finding a special partner if you don’t have one. Perhaps the global community will be a little more interested in peace.

On the Same day, October 13^th Pluto turns direct. Pluto has a powerful affect in our personal charts if it is aspecting something for better or worse. That said, Pluto always affects world events so we can expect to see a great deal of news around this time.

Anything that has been festering in the unconsciousness may force its way into the conscious at this time. This is a powerful planetary change and things that have been hidden, both individually and collectively will start to show itself/themselves for what they are. Lawsuits that have been put on hold may move forward as can anything of this nature.

Secrets may suddenly be revealed or come out of the shadows and we may see situations or even people turn obsessive in some way as Pluto has an obsessive quality to it.

Pluto rules the dark and hidden undercurrents, sex, bullies and raw power or those who hold such power. It also rules ultimate change and transformation including death or the death of a situation.

New Moon on October 21st

 This month the new moon falls in the peace loving sign of Libra at 28 degrees. Libra’s ruling planet is Venus so this should be one of the more pleasant new moons this year. It does square Jupiter which means something could get blown out of proportion or some may feel overly optimistic but it is generally not a negative aspect.

Libra rules the 7^th house of marriage and partnerships. If things have fallen off track with someone this might be a good opportunity to correct things.

October 22^nd Neptune re-enters Pisces until January 28^th, 2026

This is undoubtedly the most significant transit of the month and one of the most significant of the year. Neptune has been in Aries since March 31^st giving us a preview of life in this sign. Pisces rules the 12^th house or endings in the zodiac and Aries rules the 1^st house or new beginnings so these signs are vastly different. We will have one more opportunity with Neptune in this sign to complete what we need to or get things right.

Pisces is ruled by Jupiter and Neptune the planet of creativity, compassion and at times confusion. It rules religion, the collective consciousness, the oceans and things that are hidden from view such as lies and secrets. In a sense it can relate to propaganda as Pisces is a sign that can be suggestible and Neptune rules lies.  This of course does not mean all of those born under this Pisces are overly suggestible. Many Pisces are strong individuals.

Pisces will remain at 29 degrees which is considered the anorectic degree or a degree of significance as it is the end of a cycle just before a new one. Many urgent/important things can happen on this degree and it appears to be a collective turning point between now and the beginning of 2026.

Neptune conjuncts Saturn in Pisces

With Neptune’s re-entrance into Pisces this means Neptune is conjunct Saturn. Neptune is considered ‘at home in Pisces. When a planet is at home it is very powerful and considered by astrology to operate well.  Operating well, does not mean we have to like the results, but whatever it does is very powerful.

The nature of Saturn and Neptune don’t mix well. Saturn represents our structures and Neptune has a dissolving effect. For a time getting a grip on what is real and what is not may be difficult. We can experience a shifting reality and have a hard time knowing where we are and where we stand.

Neptune spends long periods in each sign which makes it a significant and world changing event when it does change signs. When Neptune changes signs the collective consciousness changes as well.

We are leaving the old for the new. It’s up to every one of us to not be complacent and make the future what we want and to work for all not just selected individuals.

Neptune leaves Pisces January 26th for the next 165 years. Saturn leaves Pisces February 14^th, 2026. After this, the two planets will meet up once again in the sign of Aries.

The Sun in Scorpio October 22- through November 21st

On the same day Neptune enters Pisces the Sun enters Scorpio. This will be a significant shift as well because as the Sun enters this sign it begins its square to Pluto which peaks on October 24^th. This is another difficult transit prone to power struggles, major changes and significant events in the world involving power and control. Mercury’s trine to Jupiter will give us some help and stability but it won’t negate the square.

When the Sun enters Scorpio it begins its yearly trek through the sign that rules money and sex as well as change and transformation of all sorts.

Scorpio is a water sign like Cancer and Pisces with several big differences. Scorpio is considered the most intense sign of the zodiac and can be overly sensitive, brooding, mysterious, emotional and sexual. You have heard of Scorpio’s sting if he or she is unhappy and Scorpio is not afraid to use it. Scorpio can suffer from fits of jealousy at times unless they are highly evolved. Even if they are evolved they can still struggle with the green eyed monster. On the other hand, Scorpio can be a loyal friend and trusted companion if you can ever break down their barriers get to know them well enough.

Words that describe Scorpio are brooding, self-contained, secretive, ambitious, deep, dark, determined, loyal, jealous, resentful, stubborn, controlling and transformative. Some Scorpios are evolved and highly enlightened.

Mercury in Sagittarius October 29-January 1^st, 2026.

When Mercury enters Sagittarius it is in the sign ruled by Jupiter the planet of luck and expansion, and Mercury rules travel, communication, young people and our thinking. Our thoughts may turn to travel or family members/extended family and our thinking will be broader and greatly expanded. We may also feel more buoyant, upbeat and impulsive.

Mercury is not totally comfortable in this energy, but this does not mean things will take a negative turn. In Sagittarius Mercury worries about the bigger picture of things but can lose track of smaller but important details.

Mercury in this sign is associated with expansion and the spreading of knowledge that can have a great deal of depth. This is an outgoing time and socializing with others will come easier than normal even for those who are shy. This Mercury is about visions of the future and can shine a light on that that which needs to be brought to light.

The challenge with Mercury in this sign is developing discernment in the quest for truth and not falling prey to every idea that crosses your path or blowing an idea totally out of proportion. We must remember that it is only through discernment that we can we narrow down ideas to find the path to real truth, which is the true quest for Sagittarius. Mercury will remain in this sign for an extensive period of time due to its retrograde next month.

As Mercury enters this sign it begins its opposition to Uranus. Mercury-Uranus transits are unpredictable and can bring unexpected communication or events. It can be nerve wracking and prone to arguments and accidents so use care while driving. It is likely we will see unexpected events in the world at this time. Mercury’s trine to Neptune could add confusion to the mix.

Expect to be more open to new ideas, people and life in general. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign and mutable signs are subject to change and fire signs are prone to action.

October 31^st Happy Halloween. May your holiday not be too scary this year!

 

 

 

 

 

The powerful eclipse at 29 degrees of Virgo

 

The first of the fall eclipses fell at 15 degrees of Pisces. Pisces is the natural ruler of the 12^th house of endings and its planetary rulers are Jupiter and Neptune.

At the time of this post we are in the eclipse corridor which basically means we can expect to see a great deal of turmoil in the world and our lives if an eclipse hits your chart in an adverse way.

The world seems on fire at this time with 2 wars and a high profile assassination in the US last week followed by intense vitriol that shows no sign of slowing down especially from the top. We can expect to see shocking events that will likely not end until the latter part of the month and it is and will be a stressful time for many.

Eclipses can be like wildcards and often coincide with unexpected events and major changes in our lives.

Solar eclipse in Virgo September 21st

Eclipses come in pairs so the September 7^th lunar eclipse is followed by a solar eclipse at 29 degrees of Virgo on September 21st. Virgo rules the 6^th house opposite the 12^th so these 2 eclipses set off the 6^th/12^th house axis in astrology. The 6^th house or Virgo eclipse rules health, work and service to others so we need to watch health related matters personally and globally.  It is a known fact that Covid is spreading rapidly again at this time so take care of yourself.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury the planet of communitarian, commerce young people and travel so communication will be important at this time.

What is most significant is this eclipses opposition to Saturn.

 The 29^th degree and 0 degrees are considered anaretic degrees which means they are associated with karmic situations and intense experiences that can indicate turning points or even endings as discussed already. 29 degrees is also considered a peak before a new cycle begins. Not only is the eclipse at 29 degrees opposing Saturn the Sun at 29 degrees opposing Saturn as well. This gives the eclipse a restrictive feeling and many things can end, even in the world and collective.

Saturn and the Sun are conjunct the fixed star Scheat.  According to Robson, 'Scheat is indicative of extreme misfortune, murder, suicide and downing.'

Mars is in Libra at 29 degrees as well so this is an eclipse that can bring substantial events in our lives and the world.

The Sun-Moon opposing Saturn can be negative, repressive, tiring and critical. Some relationships may end that could include business, romantic or otherwise along with relationships on the world stage. When the anaretic degree is involved whatever ends does not come back. If you have been living and viewing the world though rose colored glasses they will come off at the time of the Virgo eclipse.

This eclipse also opposes Neptune and these transits transits can be connected with sneaky, behind door situations where information only comes out after the fact. It can also deal with confusion, delusion, lies and looking at things in an  unrealistic manner.

Since Mars enters Scorpio 12 hours after the lunar peak this becomes part of the eclipse energy as well. Mars-Pluto transits are associated with cruelty, violence, war, police and military events. This is one of the darker Mars aspects so use care. This will play out in the world in a significant way. At times this can be connected to financial matters and money and we are approaching another government deadline with threats of shutting down the government. It won’t be easy getting a budget passed. We can expect the hot spots to erupt around the globe or new events occur. Often with this aspect new information comes to light.

You will be affected to a greater degree by this eclipse if you have planets in Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or Sagittarius in the late degrees. Also planets Fixed planets at 0-2 degrees will be hit by Mars.  Otherwise we can look for this to be a serious time in the world and personally as well as being tiring and draining. With the Mars-Pluto square anger may be rampant so if you push someone expect pushback in return, perhaps to a greater extent than you think.

This eclipse stands out in a significant way in the chart of Tennessee. I’m sure it stands out in many others but my time looking at them is limited.

Take care.

 

 

The upcoming Saturn-Pluto square of 2028-29

 

There are about 10 major planetary aspects that occur in the skies periodically shaping our collective and individual destinies.  One of the biggest involves Saturn and Pluto. There is no doubt this is a harsh combination and the start of this particular cycle that begins with a conjunction was in January 2020 when Covid became a world event. Of course we experienced the lockdowns and rising death tolls every day. Both Pluto and Saturn were both conjunct and in the sign of Capricorn as this began.

This is an aspect that represents a period of intense changes in the world and is associated with geo-political changes. Pluto has now moved to Aquarius and established power structures are generally challenged during this cycle as you will see later in this blog.  Aquarius is a period of revolutionary changes around the world. This is a difficult but potentially dynamic period of time and changes that occur may not be easy but are often for the better at the end of the day.

Saturn represents our structures and Pluto often represents corruption and power. Saturn enters Taurus April of 2028 and Taurus is associated with money, resources, finances, food and farming and personal/collective values since it is ruled by Venus. Pluto in Aquarius is associated with innovation, collective movements and social change.

The first exact hit of this transit between Pluto and Saturn is on June 28, 2028 at 8 degrees. The 2^nd is November 15, 2028 at 6 degrees and the final hit is March 29, 2029 at 8 degrees again. If you have fixed planets; Taurus, Leo, Aquarius or Scorpio at these degrees or within 2 degrees this aspect will affect you personally and bring about some significant change depending on what it is aspecting in your chart.

Let’s take a look at the last squares between Saturn and Pluto in the past century

-1907-08-Pisces/Gemini

-1922-Libra/Cancer

-1940-Taurus/Leo

-1955-57-Scorpio/Leo

-1973-74-Cancer/Libra

-1993-94-Aquarius/Scorpio

-2001-Note that Saturn and Pluto were in an opposition

-2009-10-Libra/Capricorn

All of these periods coincided with major societal change. In 1907 the world saw Oklahoma statehood, forced sterilization of people in institutions such as prison and mental hospitals for the purpose of eugenics, the panic of 1907 and transatlantic radio.

1922 saw Mussolini’s rise to power, formation of USSR, the end of the Ottoman Empire and formation of the BBC.

In 1940 the world was engulfed in WWll

1955-57 saw the start of the Montgomery bus boycott following Rosa Park’s arrest, the beginning of the space race and the polio vaccine, the ongoing struggle for civil rights and the start of the Vietnam War.

1973-74 led to the oil crisis and global recession, the Watergate Scandal, US president Nixon’s resignation and Roe v. Wade was passed.

1993-94 saw the first World trade Center bombing, the WACO siege, the Rwandan genocide, the Russian Constitutional Crisis and Amazon was founded.

2009-10 included ‘Arab Spring’, signing of the Affordable Care Act and the death of Michael Jackson.

This represents only a fraction of events that occurred during these years and as you can see that while this is a very intense time, strife with conflict, society typically makes many major advances during these times as well. It is a period of global upheaval and the emergence of new inventions, laws and ways of living.

In 2028-9 when we get the square it will be a test of how well we have collectively handled the systems that we have been building and creating since 2019-2020 when Saturn was conjunct Pluto. If they aren’t working then we will have to transform them into systems that work and with Pluto in Aquarius (power to the people) the systems will have to work for all of us not just the patriarchy or the 1% as it leans toward today Let’s not forget the past time Pluto was in Aquarius we saw not only the American Revolution but the very bloody French revolution as well and the end of the Monarchy in France.

Pluto in Aquarius has squared Saturn in Taurus 6 times since the year 1000.

-1058 at 24 degrees July 6^th

-1059 at 26 degrees April 24

-1705 at 18 degrees-July 29^th and August 30

-1706 at 18 degrees-April 11

-1794 at 26 degrees-December 11th

-1795 at 27 degrees-April 6th

In 1705 the Virginia Black Code was a law passed by Virginia’s House of Burgess that solidified race-based chattel slavery. This declared all non-Christians from non-Christian lands brought to the colony were slaves for live and established slaves as property. They were stripped of basic rights such as personal movement the right to bear arms or testify in court.

In 1706 French, Spanish, and Native American allies were fighting against the English colonies and their Native American allies. Benjamin Franklin was born this year.

1794 was a pivotal year for the United States, demonstrating the young nation's ability to assert its federal authority and maintain stability in the face of internal and external challenges. The Whiskey Rebellion in particular served as a crucial test for the new government, proving that it would enforce the laws of Congress and could maintain order. 

Key events of 1794 included the Whiskey Rebellion in the United States, where farmers protested a whiskey tax, and the end of the Reign of Terror in France, marked by the execution of Robespierre.

Key events in 1795 included the end of the French Revolution's radical phase, significant treaties in U.S. history, the final partition of Poland, and the British capture of the Dutch colony at the Cape of Good Hope. 

For the sake of brevity I will leave off the European history of 1058-59 but it included significant shifts in power within the Papacy, the continued Norman expansion in Italy, and a major revolt and consolidation of power within the Seljuk Empire.

While this article is focused on the squares beween Saturn and Pluto I didn’t want to leave off one of the worst events in US history which occurred in 2001 when Saturn in Gemini opposed Pluto in Sagittarius leading up to the events of September 11 with the destruction of the WTC when jihadists flew planes into the World Trade Center in NYC leading to the deaths of 2, 996 people in New York and Pa when another plane was aimed toward the Pentagon. Saturn and Pluto were in a 2 degree orb and this event clearly shows us how malefic these two planets can be when in hard aspect with each other.

 While Saturn-Pluto transits can be difficult but they also coincide with some of societies greatest leaps forward (after a period of hard work).

2028 will be the beginning of the next election cycle in the US. I won’t go into that at this point but I do believe voters need to be aware of the propensity for abuse, voter suppression, intimidation and power plays that don’t benefit the people. Pluto in Aquarius however will be a great deal of pushback from the people should this occur. It will be a volatile period in the world that will lead to further change by the time we get to this point the world will be far different from what it is today.

September 2025; Saturn's last dance in Pisces and eclipses!

 

This month we will experience 2 eclipses in Pisces and Virgo. The Sun leaves Virgo for Libra and fall arrives on the 22nd! Mercury transits through a total of 3 signs and Venus leaves Leo for Virgo. Mars leaves Libra for Scorpio and Uranus retrogrades joining the rest of the outer planets now in retrograde. Saturn returns to Pisces and we have 2 eclipses!  Let’s look at the details:

This month Saturn re-enters Pisces for one final stretch September 1^st, returning to Aries February 15^th, 2026 giving us 5 more months with Saturn in Pisces. Saturn has been in Aries since May 26^th showing us a preview of what this sign will be about from February 2026-April 2028.

Pisces and Aries couldn’t be any more different. Pisces is a water sign that rules the 12^th house of endings and Aries is a Fire sign that rules the 1^st house or beginnings and is ruled by Mars, the God of War. Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of spirituality, creativity and delusion along with Jupiter the planet of expansion. The sign Pisces can be a double edged sword both confusing on the low end and spiritually uplifting on the other as evidenced by its sign of two fish swimming in opposite directions.

 Pisces represents endings and Aries represents new beginnings. Basically we will be going back to the energy we experienced from March of 2023 until May of this year when Saturn returns to Pisces. What have we learned and what have we lost since May? 

Saturn is considered at its fall in Aries which means the energy can be difficult to work with and it struggles to express its natural qualities in the most positive of ways while Saturn in Pisces is not debilitated. Additionally, Saturn/Aries is ruled by Mars, the God of War which makes it not only more assertive but more aggressive as evidenced by the events in the world since Saturn entered Aries in May.

Saturn will re-enter Pisces at 29 degrees and any planet at 29 degrees is considered a critical degree so we can expect major events to occur at this time. This degree can be fraught with turmoil and it represents the end of a period and the beginning of a new time.

Saturn will retrograde back to 25 degrees of Pisces at the end of October until late December and turns direct in late November at 25 degrees Pisces and starts to move forward once again

When Saturn is retrograde we tend to go back to past issues to resolve and the planets influence shifts from external forces to internal matters and thinking which prompts reflection of our goals and where we are going both personally and globally. Saturn turned retrograde July 13^th.

Eclipses in Pisces/Virgo

The first of the fall eclipses falls at 15 degrees of Pisces. Pisces is the natural ruler of the 12^th house of endings and its planetary rulers are Jupiter and Neptune. Eclipses can be like wildcards and often coincide with unexpected events and major changes in our lives. This is a total lunar eclipse which is like a full moon on steroids visible from the eastern Hemisphere but not North or South America.

Pisces eclipses are often linked with 12^th house matters; endings, seclusion and spirituality along with things that are hidden and often come to light during an eclipse. Pisces is extremely sensitive and emotions may be deeply felt at this time.

While Pisces can be a romantic sign some relationships may fall away or end if they are tottering on the edge. Pisces can find its own magical version of reality and is deeply intuitive and artistic. Pisces is associated with dreams both literal and metaphysical so don’t be surprised if you don’t experience more vivid dreams and a desire to dive into the sometimes magical energy that Pisces can represent .

In the US chart this eclipse falls in the 3^rd house of communications, neighborhoods, infrastructure and the means by which information is delivered such as newspapers, postal services, the nations media, roads and railways. The moon squares Mars in the 6^th house which rules the military, workers, civil service and public health, all of which will be affected to some extent in the US. Neptune/Pisces have been associated with infectious diseases and unfortunately measles has made a comeback due to vaccine disinformation and other diseases may be coming back as well . Covid was one of the major world events during Neptune’s cycle in Pisces which will also be finishing up in the next 6 months. That said, I am not predicting a pandemic but it is important to follow those who keep us updated on factual medical information.

Moon-Mars transits usually denote anger and upset among the general population. This eclipse makes a significant aspect in the chart of US President Donald Trump as it squares his natal Sun/Uranus in his chart from the 7^th house. This can relate to unexpected events and actions and surprising actions from those he may consider partners. It also squares his Sun which represents the vital core and in people of a certain age can at times relate to health matters.

Pisces and Neptune are often connected to water related weather events and Pisces rules the worlds’ oceans.

It is important to remember that the energy of an eclipse begins at least 30 days before and after so events connected to this eclipse will continue to play out in months to come.

Solar eclipse in Virgo September 21st

Eclipses come in pairs so the September 7^th lunar eclipse is followed by a solar eclipse at 29 degrees of Virgo on September 23^rd. Virgo rules the 6^th house opposite the 12^th so these 2 eclipses set off the 6^th/12^th house axis. The 6^th house rules health, work and service to others so we need to watch health related matters personally and globally and see a Dr if there is a concern.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury the planet of communitarian, commerce young people and travel so communication will be important at this time.

The 29^th degree and 0 degrees are considered anaretic degrees which means they are associated with karmic situations and intense experiences that can indicate turning points or even endings as discussed already. 29 degrees is also considered a peak before a new cycle begins. Not only is the eclipse at 29 degrees it opposes Saturn along with the Sun at 29 degrees. Mars is in Libra at 29 degrees as well so it looks like this is an eclipse that can bring substantial events in our lives and the world.

The Sun-Moon opposing Saturn can be negative, repressive, tiring and critical. Some relationships may end that could include business, romantic or otherwise along with relationships on the world stage. When the anaretic degree is involved whatever ends does not come back. If you have been living and viewing the world though rose colored glasses they may come off at the time of the Virgo eclipse.

Saturn also opposes Neptune with this eclipse. Saturn-Neptune transits can be connected with sneaky, behind door situations where information only comes out after the fact. It can also deal with confusion, delusion, lies and looking at things in a harshly realistic manner.

The Sun opposes Saturn September 20^th, the day before the eclipse so expect events connected to this eclipse to start occurring earlier. Sun-Saturn is a tiring, negative aspect that is prone toward feelings of restriction and delays.

Since Mars enters Scorpio 12 hours after the lunar peak this becomes part of the eclipse energy as well. Mars-Pluto transits are associated with cruelty, violence, war, police and military events. This is one of the darker Mars aspects so use care. This will play out in the world in a significant way. At times this can be connected to financial matters and money.

You will be affected to a greater degree by this eclipse if you have planets in Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or Sagittarius in the late degrees.

September 6^th Uranus turns retrograde until February 4^th, 2026

Uranus retrogrades every year for about 5 months, but this is nothing like retrograde Mercury that can create chaos, communication problems and general disruption.

Unless you have a Uranus transit aspecting your personal chart, you may hardly even notice it, although the retrograde of this planet often coincides with significant world events that can happen on a large scale and this time in particular since it occurs just before an eclipse. Uranus is in Gemini but will retrograde back into the sign Taurus November 9^th and turns direct in this sign at 27 degrees February 4^th, 2026. It will not re-enter Gemini again until April 28, 2026 and will remain in this sign until May 2033.

The retrograde of Uranus is associated with inner change as opposed to outer changes in your life. We tend to make inner change during this time that will allow us more success in the outside world when the planet turns direct. The retrograde period can usher in more self awareness and ability to understand issues on a deeper level and it is typically easier to face any changes we need to make at this time. If you have been struggling in some way this may give you an opportunity to begin to heal and look for original solutions to standing problems as Uranus is the most innovative of planets.

Uranus is associated with freedom, often ‘freedom at any cost.’ This is why Uranus is associated with break ups, breaking free of things we find oppressive and divorce. This typically only occurs however, if Uranus is making a specific harsh aspect in your own chart or the chart of the person you are involved with.

If major change occurs under retrograde Uranus it will ultimately be for the better, even if it doesn’t seem this way at the time. Uranus is said to clear away the ‘dead wood’ in our lives or those things that have outlived their purpose so new doors and experiences can soon present themselves.

Mercury enters Virgo September 2-18

Mercury is the planetary ruler of both Gemini and Virgo. While Mercury in Gemini is associated with quick responses, intelligence, and communication about a many different ideas, Mercury in Virgo communication and thinking is geared more toward facilitating ideas, analyzing information and presenting facts in a straight forward and factual manner.

Gemini may reach out for information of all types and go in different directions but Virgo hones in on what is most important and puts that information to practical use. While both signs rule Mercury, they each have a very different approach and purpose.

Virgo is very discerning and is often considered lazar focused. The downside to Mercury in Virgo is that at times it can be so discerning one can become lost in details, overly critical or picky, and this can be misinterpreted (or not). It is important to remember that while constructive criticism is one thing, Virgo can get caught up in being so overly critical, others are turned off. Most of the time however, Virgo’s true intent is just to get things right.

Mercury enters Libra September 18-October 7^th

Mercury/Libra likes to find balance and please others but this energy is known as being changeable. Libra is a rational sign that likes to weigh all options. Since Mercury/Libra has the ability to see things from all viewpoints, Libra -Mercury can seem indecisive, but most of the time it is really just a careful consideration of all options and viewpoints that may appear indecisive.

Libra has an innate sense of fairness and a reputation of being the peacemaker.  Bear in mind, the symbol for Libra is the scales of justice.

Mercury in Libra is typically diplomatic, charming, smooth, flirty and sympathetic. On the more negative end Libra can be indecisive, procrastinators, people pleasers at any cost and over-intellectualizing of certain subjects.

Mercury in this sign has the ability to see the big picture with great clarity. It is also a Cardinal sign which means change can occur due to active assertion of ideas or action.

September 19- October 13 Venus enters Virgo

Venus is the goddess of love and money and while in this sign has somewhat of a soiled reputation among astrologers as it is considered ‘at its fall.’ In layman’s terms this means the energies of Venus and Virgo are not especially compatible.

Virgo is a somewhat critical earth sign. There is a picky side to Virgo and while in this sign others (or you) can come across as overly critical and demanding. You may feel as though you are trying to help others help themselves and could blow things out of proportion, or your desire to help may be misunderstood so it is important to remember during Virgo’s transit most will ask for help if they feel they need it. Hurt feelings can arise if Virgo’s critical nature gets the upper hand.

With Venus in Virgo you may pay more attention to personal habits of others. Getting into a car for example, that is full of trash may be a real turn off, along with sloppy clothes, hair, nails or anything of this kind. During this time you will appreciate common sense and punctuality more than at other times, something Virgo excels at.

During Venus’s transit through Virgo we express our love in practical ways. Just being there or doing something that is helpful

Virgo can be a great helpmate, loyal friend or lover and you may be in no rush to begin a mad, passionate affair but go more slowly getting to know the true nature of your love interest.

Virgo can be warm, giving and interested in matters relating to day to day living with your significant other as opposed to wild fantasies and passion. Not that Virgo can’t be passionate but it may take some time to get there.

Venus in Virgo may not be the fieriest or most intense period in your love life, but Virgo has several qualities that cannot be denied namely integrity, warmth and compassion. These are powerful qualities connected to this sign along with warmth, concern and caring. Virgo has a natural healing ability as well. There is a lot to be said for Virgo’s calm, reasonable, protective and healing nature, especially considering the trying times we are experiencing. Coming home to a quiet dinner with someone who cares about your day can go a lot further in the end than someone who is all about flash and doesn’t really care how you are feeling about your life, so make the most of Venus in Virgo while she is in this often misunderstood sign.

The Sun enters Libra or fall solstice

The Sun enters Libra one day after the solar eclipse occurs or September 22^nd where it remains for the next month. Libra is the sign that rules the 7^th house of marriage, partnerships and courts and Libra’s ruling planet is Venus. Venus is concerned with money, beauty, love and values and our energies will be focused on relationships and others during this time, or alternatively you could meet someone new that becomes significant. Either way we will all be thinking more about relationships over the next month.

Make plans to socialize this month to the extent you can but don’t overbook yourself and then flake out. This can be the downside of Libra along with procrastination and a difficult time making up your mind. Libra can get so caught up in the pursuit of fairness, justice and looking at things from a detached angle they sometimes never get where they want to go by over thinking every point of view they encounter.

Since Libra is a Cardinal Air sign thoughts and ideas at this time will be large, and somewhat detached. Air signs are the thinkers and don’t like to slow down most of the time. Cardinal signs are the leaders and initiators and like forward movement. Libra does not like arguments, ugly comments, sordid situations or cruelty. The big clash you were expecting to have with your new boss or your best friend may no longer seem so important after all and you could find yourself taking a more peaceful approach. With Libra, people want to feel the love most of all.

You may find yourself getting more annoyed with anything that does not contribute to your own personal harmony, and may want to eliminate those who create drama or trauma in your life. The Libra season will be time to take a look at who is in your life, why they are there, and whether your own needs are being fulfilled in the most important relationships you have. The Libra season is a time to relax, socialize and spend time with those most important. Since Venus is Libra’s ruler, beauty and beautiful things may seem more important and desirable this month, along with art, jewelry, clothes and anything else that beautifies the environment you live in.

Mars enters Scorpio September 22-November 4th

Mars is the action planet and is connected to the way we approach things. Mars in Scorpio is considered powerful and Mars is one of the rulers of Scorpio giving it harmony with this sign.

Scorpio is a fixed sign, so energy does not move quickly like it did in Libra; a Cardinal sign. Mars-Scorpio will give us the ability to have more tenacity, and get to the bottom of things faster.

As Mars transits through Scorpio we may experience a drive to change or transform something in our lives whether it is small, or a larger life change. If there is a true desire for change there is very little that can hold us back with Mars in this very determined sign.

Mars in Scorpio is known to go where angels fear to tread and is seldom if ever afraid to explore the darker and deeper side of life. At times, this transit could spark an interest in serious self evaluation that can result in the ability to make deep changes within ourselves.

Any planet entering Scorpio can also be concerned with money, or other people’s money. This can include partners-both personal and work, as well as your own money.  Changes in finances may occur at this time, you could come with a budget, or you may simply go over your finances.  There will be a greater focus on money during this cycle along with sex and transformation in general.

The downside of Mars in Scorpio can relate to obsessions and/or darker feelings of revenge as Scorpio is co-ruled by Pluto. Pluto is a powerful planet that is associated with revenge, determination and destruction as well as transformation.

Pluto likes to tear down to rebuild in a better way but it is important to remember that if you are going to destroy something in your life it is best not to burn bridges you may have to walk back over at some point.

Used wisely, Mars in Scorpio can be a great help in developing our own personal power and self confidence. To do this well, we must learn to rise above feelings of bitterness or getting even over a perceived wrong or slight. Scorpio has a hard time forgetting and some may never let go of bitter feelings.

Positive traits such as determination, transformation, passion, intuition, and insightfulness describe Mars-Scorpio. The downside is moodiness, brooding, revenge, plotting and over intensity. Scorpio can be among the most highly evolved of signs or it can sink to the lowest depths. It is up to us to channel the positive side of this transit and grow with it. With Mars in Scorpio we can accomplish a great deal if we don’t get overwrought or let ego matters get in the way.

Mars was in Scorpio, December 9, 2017-January 27, 2018 and we saw the Me too Movement  take off, which if fitting for Mars in this sign, since it is associated with sex and the 8^th house.

Since Mars enters Scorpio today it begins its square to Pluto which becomes part of the eclipse energy. This is a harsh if not cruel transit and associated with violence, wars, destruction and financial issues.

Other significant transits:

September 23^rd on the heels of the Virgo eclipse the Sun opposes Neptune creating confusion and we can expect to see smoke and mirrors in the world. In other words it is unlikely we will hear the complete truth about events that may occur on or near this date. Neptune can be connected with gasses and water related weather events and Neptune rules the oceans.

September 24^th Mars squares Pluto (exact) and the energy of this powerful square will begin even before Mars enters Scorpio September 22 and it will continue for at least a week afterward. This aspect is associated with violence, wars, military and police as well as anger and it could be present at the time of an accident so use caution. It can be constructive change but that meaning is a long shot. On September 24^th the moon also squares Pluto in the early AM hours amping up the energies and giving us a double dose of extreme Pluto energy.
