  • The spectacular Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces of August 28 set the stage for three major planetary events this week beginning with Saturn's transit into Virgo. This transit will be a long one, beginning on September 2, 2007 and will not leave Virgo completely until July, 2010. Pluto at 26° Sagittarius18' returns to direct motion on September 7 after traveling retrograde since March 31, 2007. Also Venus at 16°Leo 35' returns to its direct motion on September 8 after a retrograde period since July 27, 2007. After Saturn's Virgo ingress, seven planets will occupy the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces). The planets are the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. Also in Mutable signs are the very important nodes of the Moon, plus asteroids Vesta and Pallas. This week a powerful Gemini Last Quarter Moon jumps on the list which will form a grand Mutable cross on Monday night. (The out-of-bounds Moon will emphasize our emotions and push the winds higher from September 2-7). A very risky Mars square Uranus accompanies the Last Quarter Moon which rates Monday as a 10 (scale 1-10) for being accident-prone. Mercury will leave the busy Mutable crowd on Wednesday September 5, 2007 for a breath of Libra's air until September 27, 2007. Another cosmic episode continues the Mutable emphasis on September 11, 2007 with a Partial Eclipse of the Sun at 18° Virgo 25'. With flexibility and changeability in every corner of our universe it is enough to wear us out with errands, tasks and work. A good rest at each break will serve you better than a cup of coffee.
    As the summer ends in the northern hemisphere, we make way for the next season with significant effort. We all have a sense of good-bye lazy days and get ready for warm clothes and snow shovels. But the lazy days were few as the predominant Mutable energy has kept us running in circles for months. In many ways we see this time as the beginning of our year. Certainly the new school season sets our agendas for our true new year to get down to the business of learning new things.

    Mutable signs stir up the mind allowing new ideas to emerge. I see these four signs as representing the evolution of information. Gemini collects and passes on raw data with unedited stories to Virgo's processing lab where the stories, papers and other words are scrutinized, edited and organized for the Sagittarius professor to polish. Sagittarius blends information with a higher philosophical thought to distribute and publish. In Pisces the material is assimilated and digested to feed the soul or recycle to collective consciousness where you could find your raw Gemini story reach film or stage.

    Have a good and productive new year!

    Transits: 2007 Good Days
    The Good Days are once again hinged upon a decent aspect to Pluto in Sagittarius who acts as a hungry hound at the end of that sign, requiring you feed him and his litany of demands before tending to your own needs. Pluto's appetite for control and attention is like a bottomless pit. When other planets are very late in a sign then their symbolism has the last word as the transiting Moon forms its last aspect before leaving a sign. There are some exceptions when the Moon is in Libra and Aquarius it forms an aspect of opportunity, sextile to Pluto; while in Aries and Leo the Moon forms a harmonious trine to Pluto. Of course this applies when no other planet transits the final degrees of any sign or equal in declination with the Moon.

    Good Days this week are:
    September 1 only until 1:18 a.m.
    September 8 after Venus turns Direct at 12:15 p.m.

    Moon "Out of Bounds
    Since the summer of 2001 the Moon has been traveling very high in the sky because its range in declination shots beyond the 23°27' line at the Tropic of Cancer in the northern sky and beyond the 23°27' Tropic of Capricorn in the southern sky. The Sun reaches its maximum north or south declination at these two boundaries at the summer solstice and winter solstice. When the Moon travels very high into these out of bounds zones it is not only higher in the sky but we seem to have stronger emotional reactions to events during these times. Here I will include the days of the month when the Moon travels out-of-bounds in declination. Times are rounded off to the nearest half hour.
    Starting for the Month of July 2007, the Moon travels out-of bounds during these periods:
  • June 26 - 8:30 p.m., through July 1st at 10:00 p.m.
  • July 10 - 7:00 a.m. through July 14 - 8:30 p.m.
  • July 24 - 3:30 a.m. through July 29 -8:00 a.m.
  • Not again until August 6 - 11:00 a.m. until
        August 11th, 6:00 a.m.
  • August 20-25
  • September 2-7
  • September 16-22
  • September 30 - October 4
  • October 14-19
  • October 27-31

    MOON/SUN MIDPOINT CHANGES INFO

    Try looking at your surrounding circumstances through the view of the Moon and Sun midpoint.  This is the point where you meet others halfway or the point of collaboration. It is a marriage point of sorts – or a merging or compromising point.  It may help to learn what energy promotes this agreement point between family members, other people or companies.  If a planet is adversely situated by square or opposition to the midpoint then this indicates difficulty situated by a square or an opposition to the midpoint then this indicates difficulty coming to agreements or obstacles in the path.
     

    These midpoints do not follow an obvious pattern and will fall out of zodiacal order when the Moon crosses over the opposition point at a Full Moon.
     

    People are more open and direct with one another with creative ideas when the midpoint travels through fire signs (Fire Signs - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius).
     

    People are secretive with one another operating with hidden agendas when the midpoint travels through water signs (Water Signs- Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces).
     

    People tend to be more social and intellectual when this point travels through air signs (Air Signs - Gemini, Libra and Aquarius).
     

    People are more practical and methodical, and are able to function in a traditional, cooperative and goal oriented manner. Money and business is important especially with Taurus and Capricorn. Service and the task is the goal with Virgo midpoints. (Earth Signs -Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn).

    Please read my
    article on Refranations as they are an important astrological event marker.

    New Weekly Feature
    For ease of reading the details of each day, when available or appropriate, follow the daily summary.


    A Day Rating is not intended to describe the feeling of the day or how you will experience that day but offers clues about the end results to your activities if you chose to take a specific action during that Moon sign period.

    A Moon sign period begins when the Moon enters a new sign and remains in effect until it leaves that sign. A Difficult Day can bring unwanted complications for the end result of your objectives. By choosing a Good Day and before the void of course Moon period, you increase you chances for a smoother and more favorable outcome. The day is rated by the last aspect from the Moon to a planet before it leaves the sign. That last aspect begins the void of course Moon period. Your activities are considered to be under the umbrella of the Moon sign that changes every couple of days. Days with the same Moon sign often carry the same day rating for the couple days the Moon occupies that sign.

    There some very important exceptions:
  • When a planet changes signs, the day rating can change.
  • When a planet changes direction, the day rating can change.

  •  
    These instances are referred to as a refranation, indicating that you are to expect someone to leave before you complete your objectives or the situation totally changes due to new and unseen developments or reversals.

    Dear Weekly Report Readers: While some of you seemed to really enjoy the new color-coded table format for the Report, others did not. However, when we dropped the table format, alas, others protested! So we are still experimenting and for this week have decided to combine the two flavors, in both a simplified, narrative form, as well as the spreadsheet form. Please let us know what you think.


       Aspects for the Week

    MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE AFTER TRINE SATURN (1st Sign to5th Sign) - Sep 1 2007

    MOON ENTERS TAURUS (2nd Sign) - Sep 1 2007
    The Moon in Taurus is in its exaltation which normally indicates that there is a graciousness and honor of some sort. When the Moon is in Taurus, there tends to be a focus on finances, and often money comes through on these days. This is the Moon of tradition, concerned with matters of the family and gatherings. It is usually “food first” for Taurus Moons. Bonding is more apparent with loved ones. There is a need to get more grounded and find some peace and quiet. You may be carting about people or supplies. (Before automated vehicles, the bull pulled carts of supplies and people.) Taurus Moons can be lazier and more indulgent than usual. This can be a slow-moving couple of days with no rushing and lower blood pressure. The bull is more sensitive than they appear being also stubborn and not easily pulled off track. If there is a sense of being pressured this could incite rage especially if plans change without consulting the bull and then securing his/her approval. Don’t push, suggest. Find a way to make your pitch, sale or emotional plea politically palatable, practical and profitable to please and capture your benefactors’ attention. Remain sensitive and patient while watching the object of your attention become interested in your product. Making a pitch or sale with the Moon in Taurus can be tedious but you are often speaking to someone who has the means to fund your project or buy your products. If your can remember they don’t want to be pushed, they want to be seduced you will have much better luck. If you seem to be interested only in money you will loose their respect. When the Moon is in Taurus people like to buy things that are sensual to the touch. Fabrics need to be comfortable and relaxed but of high quality. Flannels, cottons and very soft wools are sought. Lots of food items, cooking and indoor/outdoor gardening are high on the activity list. This is a time to be nurtured and be nurturing. If the Taurus Moon occurs on an otherwise good day your powers of manipulation work strongly in your favor. You have the ability to move to the head of the line or the top of the list if you step up and ask. Apply for a loan or mortgage. It is an excellent time for planting flowers and beautiful bushes. If you are a Taurus, matters tend to go your way.
