New Moon August 27!
Pisces-Virgo Full Harvest-Corn Moon September 10!.
Virgo New Moon!
Saturday August 27, 1:17 AM Pacific at 4 Virgo 04
Spiritual structure is elemental to our lives! Virgo tends life’s Garden to assure our well being.
The centerpiece of the Paleaku Astronomy Center, Kona, Hawaii, is the 100 ft. diameter model of the Milky Way. The scale is 1000 light years per foot, which is about 83 light years per inch. The Galaxy Garden is set on 1/4 acre of lawn, whose gentle swell suggests the observed warp of the actual galactic disk. Jon Lomberg wanted people to be able to experience a personal understanding of our galaxy as they walked the garden. See the fascinating story, read the intriguing comments! Jon’s personal story about the Garden, more images!
As Above, so Below! Virgos are grand gardeners, designers tuned in to the galaxy herself! Just like with those little bookkeeping boxes of figures on paper, they are super organizers with design plans tuned with exquisite timing. They pay attention. They listen to the Fae and nature’s other little people, tend their plants in cosmic seasonal harmony, by sun and moon, guided by constellations of knowledge of the stars as they appear at night’s eastern threshold throughout the year.
Our New Moon is a union of Sun and Moon. Moon joins Sun, nurturing him and his realm. Children are encouraged to develop their skills. Sun is heartened to express himself with confidence. Moon sees their talents and supports their processes of exploration for the very finest designs. Father Sun gathers Mother Moon into his arms, thanks her, honors her divine capacity for caring, working so hard amongst us all, often taken for granted. Her healing is beyond measure. She gardens the herbs and veggies, nurses without judgment, cleans and organizes, has a gift with pets, studies relentlessly, many a time works until she drops. She has cosmic creds.This union and recognition reaffirms our treasure. We are boosted to renew our pure energy, take heart from our core, strengthen our trust in ourselves, know we aren’t perfect, but growing together. The Universe IS a big place, Evolution is forever! Be the best you can be right this minute in view of the long term. Lay the small things aside; go for the big picture. Love each other kindly.
This New Moon has brought us challenges and blessings! We are in the midst of Mars bringing us news that must be dealt with, a gnat or a bugle, telling us we need to make some changes in our point of view. Mars is strongly and favorably sextile Jupiter, who generally means well.
The New Moon just squared Mars in Gemini, and they are still within three minutes of space at the New Moon moment! Sun squared the night before at 10:27 PM Pacific; Moon squares at 1:11 AM, only 6 minutes before the New Moon at 1:17 AM!!! Virgo is a writer and Mars is a talker, both of Mercury signs!
Sun in Virgo square Mars in Gemini has been happening for a good 5 – 7 days before the New Moon. Tempers have flared, thefts have occurred, people have gotten bad health news. Necessities have been taken care of, losses remedied as possible. New solutions have fixed old problems. Some things are better than they were, others are unsettled, still pending and need further attention.
Mercury is adding a sociable touch in Libra making the links, doing the beautiful calligraphy of life as we get to know each other better. Libra is tracking legal matters, seeking potent relationships, life’s balance, fairness and justice. Due to Mercury slowing to Retrograde Sep 9, he will not trine Mars! Mars is actually moving faster!!! Mercury returns to Virgo Sep 23 after the Moon enters Virgo before the Libra New Moon. That will remind us of things happening now that need updating, a renewed start. Though not in strong connection with the rest of the chart, Mercury is still the lead planet! Though soon to be retrograde, his being in station for 8 days, starting Sep 6, he will hold position, anchoring his gains and connections made, focusing on what the chart needs.
The New Moon square Mars peaks minutes before the New Moon, while Mars sextile Jupiter isn’t exact until Sep 1! Mars is undaunted sextiling Jupiter in Mars’ home sign Aries! Mars in Gemini has multiple smarts and quick about them, has several irons in the fire, fairly dancing with spreading the news! Fiery Jupiter is the adventurous winner, speeding in fire sign Aries, happily fueled with Mars’ ideas! Let’s see, which 8 things we can do today?! And together they do them all well before the day is over! Next!
Both are in leadership positions! In Gemini, Mars presses the fresh news he daringly gathered! Jupiter is teaching the new skills and introducing new business opportunities North, South, East and West! Vast territories are perfect for him. Mars is out hustling down the road on his bike, the wind flying by! Tennis is great. Jupiter may have the skates and skis, be driving the motorcycle, revving the speedboat! Virgo may see they are rather unstoppable and offer exciting ventures for them to gleefully tackle! They can be her champions! Virgo likes being clean, and they don’t mind being sweaty!
Mars may be mouthy, especially with Jupiter and his catchy slang from all countries, so Virgo may have to have her earplugs handy. Mars might be put off by her deliberate, even delicate, ways, attention to ALL the details. He may think she needs more loving, LOL, and maybe she does, but it probably won’t be with him, not that he may even want her! He’s not bound by ordinary jobs, is more a consultant, is quick to find new material. He’s cheeky, sometimes too flashy, pushy, impatient, not always kind or helpful. But he sure is good at what he does when he does it. He’s got courage, is not often intimidated. He can write a whirl, stand up for a cause, or talk a fast circle, keep you distracted, divert your course in an instant! His exuberance alone can be healing!
Jupiter takes it to the bank! He is gathering powerful information soon to be released! He is a planet of perspective, and in Aries, anything that moves has his instant attention. He compares with his vast data bank, decides head swimmingly quickly whether to go or no. Like betting the horses, always put a buck on the longest odds! Jupiter looks for meaning and refuses to invest in unethical prospects. But if he goes to the dark side he will be infamous rather than famous! He looks for Truth, and if he’s the bad guy, plays it upfront and can get away with it. Or, he takes it to church and makes believers out of them, making sure they know the consequences if they fail! He can be a glib storyteller of the tallest tales, or assault your faulty thinking and turn your life around! One way or the other, you are fully entertained, amazed and inspired! Grab the reins and go for it! Word to the wise: invest on a trial basis first, see how it goes!
FATEFUL GRAND FIXED SQUARE! Nodes axis with Uranus over Vertex axis, Venus and Saturn!
At 16 Taurus/Scorpio, the Vertex/Anti-Vertex, a point of fate, and the North-South Node axes are reverse lined up over each other potently at the same degree! The North Node is at the Anti-Vertex and the Vertex is at the South Node! The Vertex axis will change degrees as the latitude of the location the chart is calculated for changes. This is at Santa Barbara CA. The Moon’s North Node’s motion is generally retrograde. She is fading back, away from Uranus and the Vertex axis. Recently she conjuncted Uranus in Taurus, a 19 year event. She is also fading back from squaring Saturn in Aquarius. Venus squared Uranus 9:34 PM Pacific yesterday, and is opposite Saturn 11:27 AM Pacific tomorrow
The North Node is generally retrograde, traveling 19 years through the signs. Right now it is past Uranus by just under 3 degrees, still close, not entirely finished, not forgotten. The South Node is always in the opposite sign, Scorpio in this case. North and South are working to balance the signs. Scorpio is our monies, all monies involving other entities, like banks, insurance, inheritances, big investments. Taurus is my money, money in pocket, having things for myself, your sense of your own personal worth, your own body and attractiveness, the body of our Earth Mother. With Uranus, there is a questioning of what your values are in context of how others on the planet are doing, how your friends are, what your freedom is worth, what changes you are willing to make, how is Earth herself doing?
Uranus is the leading outer planet for now and this is the North Node’s first encounter with one of the outer planets since when with Jupiter 3 times in 2016. Next will be with Jupiter 2023, then Chiron, Neptune, Saturn, last with Pluto 2027 then back with Jupiter 2030.
This special conjunction, the True North Node with Uranus, is every 15 years! It always skips a sign. This year’s slow moving conjunction is continuous June 7 through Nov 15! It emphasizes the Earth Changes we are experiencing and how our friendships are being organically assessed for long term true values, whether our networks are effective. See the list and more at Cafe Astrology!
- The last one was Mar 31, 2007, 16 Pisces 07.
- This one was Jul 31, 2022 (Jun 7 to Nov 15) at 18 Taurus 42
- The next one will be Oct 20, 2037 at 24 Cancer 09
Uranus has huge plans! In Taurus, he is stepping in neighborly stride with Chiron in Aries! Uranus is freedom, unpredictable r/evolution! Fellow Earth sign Virgo is working in tandem in behalf of the animals, bees and butterflies, plants, trees and seas! Chiron is too old to be bossed, but is also a healer like Virgo. He will muster a listen to her and Taurus just waits him out. Taurus owns his farm, has the food and literally stands his ground. Uranus is the ChangeMaker and Virgo backs him up with the data! Virgo the writer and data keeper often works alone, but as a nurse at the hospital, is part of a huge 24 hour team. She can work skillfully together when called on to do so. Aquarius can be a loner, but has uncanny ability to unite and galvanize huge groups of people. Virgo sees the valiant efforts happening on the cutting edge, looks for plausible shortcuts, systems and experts to make it all come true!
The Vertex exactly lined up with the Nodes in Santa Barbara CA at the time of the New Moon indicates there may be a special event in this area! From around the web, here are a few ways it can unfold:
- is a sensitive point that can always be found on the right side (western half) of the horoscope between the 5th and 8th houses
- can indicate a sense of destiny working through another person or outstanding event (Western side of chart)
- one of those points in our charts signaling events that happen to us through no effort or will of our own
- in Relationships is one of the key components in two lovers being fated together.
- generally considered a point of karmic or fated connection, destiny [that doesn’t mean you should marry]
- AKA Destiny’s Gate, can be a person (and how they affect you), a time when you meet a special person
- your calling or the Ray energy to be cultivated in this lifetime

Saturn in Aquarius, separating square Uranus in Taurus, is still close right now but won’t become exact. The square was made three times in 2021, so this now is a reminder to keep processing what was gained then. We experienced a lot of isolation from friends and work shifted for many due to the pandemic. There were breakthroughs due to necessity. There were forever losses as not everyone made it. Many are still grieving even as they go on successfully. At times it is bittersweet. Along with the personal changes, we face political and environmental shifts. Basic responsibilities made important by the time frame, and freedoms of all kinds are being questioned. See more about Saturn Square Uranus.
Venus in Leo separating square Uranus in Taurus. Venus in Leo wants her due, loves individual rights, doesn’t mind a challenge – or be remarkably lazy, LOL. She can be bright and formidable if she takes on the cause, can get in big trouble, and her beauty won’t help her! She can be grace and all heart at other times and that may make all the difference. As one person she can feature the planetary matter and against all odds succeed. She has a following. Uranus in Taurus can be an individual that is misguided, or a great humanitarian planetary group. Venus may be called on to negotiate with kindness or aplomb, be an astonishing fundraiser, a surprising heroine. Values may be shifted on all sides.
Venus in Leo opposite Saturn in Aquarius! Some of the overtones are similar to her square with Uranus, because Aquarius is Uranus’s sign! Opposites represent separations. Discrimination, acknowledging differences and letting go are aces to be played well and kindly. Negotiating across the table, collaborating, each offering complimentary skills, is well worth it. With Saturn, these can be work related, family matters with Fathers or elders, planetary matters, responsibilities taken or forfeited. There can be grieving, relief, guilt, fear, depression, feeling burdened or thankfulness as the work progresses, things become resolved. Venus lends her ability to make connections. Her appreciation and warmhearted affection may save the day. She can get publicity and financing for what seemed like hopeless causes. She is strong and bright. Saturn must be sure she doesn’t overdo, give her time outs and be sure she eats well. She may be brave and determined, but she is still human, god love her. She may bring famous people or performers into the fold. Get her on media. She glows when inspired!
There are plenty of challenges in this chart, but Virgo’s New Moon chart is a Locomotive, a dynamo with a wide spread of components, plenty of traction! Pluto in Capricorn is the base planet making sure they leave no tracks, the trash is removed. Stragglers are healed, brought up to par, given work they can do in behalf of the tribe, kept moving. Pluto relights their Kundalini fires, trains them with skills, awakens their talents!
In broad terms, Pluto in Capricorn can be rock solid, wants proof and substantial backing before he turns his crew loose to do further building. The world is calling him to be transparent and take care of major things. He’s doing his best to set priorities. Some of the situations are dangerous.
Pluto is making sure things are politically embedded or up rooted as needed. He protects from casualties, insists on you taking your responsibilities or there will be losses. Soil and water toxins, drugs, abuses of people and privileges, gun violence, disasters, the pandemic, are high on our lists. That’s a long list. There may be surprising things done as we ready for Pluto’s shift into Aquarius March 23, 2023. Pluto in Aquarius will need to take drastic action for the reforms required to happen. It will easily take the 21 years Pluto is in Aquarius to make significant lasting changes. But when Pluto was last in AQ, there was the American Revolution, French Revolution, Industrial Revolution in England. We shall see. We will need some powerful leaders for the good.

Pluto’s strongest current direct connection is sextile Neptune. They are together closely for months at a time. They have a long history, started in 1950! Over the years they have changed signs together! Pluto is a shamanic healer, has to do with life, Kundalini, sex, lifelong relationships, cleansing and detoxing, big money, research, and death. Pluto is not fainthearted. Danger is fascinating and comes in many forms. Dying to life is the game. The Great Mystery and revelation hold their attention. Fathomless Neptune is his friend. Neptune’s imagination and dreams know no bounds. Here is a worthy companion for one as intense as Pluto. Neptune can always read Pluto, but Pluto can’t always read as far as Neptune’s visions go! That is rare, so Pluto is always interested as he tries to decipher the code when there really isn’t one, LOL! Neptune heals the healer and Pluto wants to know how! They are powerful together and are both comfortable and wary of each other at the same time. Neither one knows the entirety of themselves. There is always an unpredictable element and they like it that way. They are elementally creative!
Pluto is no fool, and if his eyes open, he can make 180 shifts on a dime, making stunning change in record time! All it takes is one turn of the key in the Capricorn lock! We’ll see what happens while he is leaving Capricorn to enter Aquarius March 2023. There are 7+ months to go.
Saturn in Aquarius will soon be at the exact midpoint between Neptune and Pluto! Might not be the safest place to be, but he is in a position to be a go between and extract valuable knowledge from each. Aquarius is more interested than judgmental, is rarely frightened because AQ is so different it is usually others who are frightened of him! Saturn is not a fainthearted planet either. He wants to harness the talent, takes the best of both and shows them how to use it together. He stands up for his principles against the odds because he has a proven track record of doing the right thing at the right time! The three of them, Pluto, Saturn, and Neptune, are in sequential signs, Capricorn, AQ, Pisces, the last signs of the zodiac. Together they are putting finishing touches on the work at hand, the foundation for the future.
Fixed Stars Summary! There are a lot of connections!
1) Fixed star Sirius at 14 Cancer, and Algorab 13 Libra, travel together, challengingly always square! Sirius is the brightest star, the power light of our night, so has mojo just for being! Algorab’s rep isn’t so good, and Chiron in Aries squares Sirius, is opposite Algorab. Aries has no fear, so some challenging discussions will happen regarding what the best healing methods are. Algorab will bring up some of the pitfalls. Sirius will offer some glimpses that Chiron will ponder and quickly find himself accepting with modifications of his own making. The Taurus North Node is coming into position, sextile Sirius and inconjunct Algorab.
Another of the 15 Behenian stars, Sirius is of the nature of Jupiter and Mars (high ambition, pride, love of power, grandeur of view.) It gives honor, renown, wealth, ardor, faithfulness, devotion, passion and resentment, and makes its natives custodians, curators and guardians. It gives honor, the goodwill and favor of men and the airy spirits, and the power to pacify nobles and others. And to tease you, it rules beryl, savine, mugwort, dragonwort and the tongue of a snake! See a lot more at Astrology King!, including ties with famous people!
Chiron and the North Node, 15 and 16 degrees also connect with Canopus, Vega and Rigel.
Fomalhaut, at 3 Pisces 53, is one of the Archangel stars. Mars and the New Moon are less than a degree of it, Mars square and the New Moon opposite. It has a Mercury-Venus character with a blending of Neptune influence. According to tradition, this star is of quite variable effect, either very good or very bad, depending on the overall cosmic structure. It is assumed, however, that the helpful influence is the greater one. See more details at Astrology King!

Uranus, Venus and Saturn, 18, 19 and 20 degrees, are connected with Castor, Bellatrix, Denebola, and Capella.
Neptune at 24 degrees is connected with Pollux, Spica, Arcturus and Procyon.
Mercury at 1 degree trines Altair.
2) Pluto 26 Capricorn, Fixed Star Algol 26 TAURUS and the Galactic Center 27 Sagittarius!
Algol has the baddest rep of all the fixed stars. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more! As an individual event, things may not go well at all. If her feminine power force is called on as an ally, she may save your life or protect the Galactic Center from intruders!
Algol and the Galactic Center are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 TAURUS and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.
The profound Galactic Center is in fiery Sagittarius, the sign between Scorpio and Capricorn. I imagine the GC is probably enjoying lots of laughs and adventure stories beyond our imagination! The Great Educator sends rays and bolts of information we are barely capable of downloading let alone understand, and it’s not on anyone’s schedule! The GC is the center of our Milky Way, a monumental power center encompassing huge knowledge. Sagittarius is the Teacher, traveler of the cosmos across dimensions beyond our understanding, yet it exists and we have access. The GC Stars send Light from aeons away, a subtle light, but perhaps even more potent because we can’t ‘see’ it and so don’t fight it. If your chart factors link up, you may find yourself having insights, both enlightening and perverse. We may know there have been consequences we didn’t realize. Some self forgiveness may be in order, apologies as appropriate. The Galactic Center offers stunning options in the magnitude of billions of stars, galaxies upon galaxies! More on the Galactic Center!
Capricorn is hosting Pluto. Pluto is trine Algol in Taurus and semi sextile The Galactic Center, piloting the whole scenario of these three powerful factors. By nature he is a no nonsense old Master and gives orders, expecting things to get done. All these three have street creds and are impressive. Capricorn has hung out with the best and functions well at this level. He treats them more equally both to himself and each other. It’s his job.
Pluto is now at 26° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.
Pluto is an exceptionally powerful planet, so is quite comfy with the great forces! In Capricorn he is with the Masters, ones who rule kingdoms and the planet. Capricorn is a realist and Pluto a profound healer. They, Pluto, Algol, and the Galactic Center, see the times that are coming and are preparing the way for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius in 2023. For 21 years he will be called to apply his great strength in behalf of humanity.
We are now more aware that some connections need reworking, fixing, updating. Some ideas have long term implications worth working for, are financially productive, spiritually satisfying! Make notes then network like crazy to get more ideas to complete the package, make it whole, make it known. Select who will work together, and get it rolling! Be relentless! Don’t give up even when it seems bleak. Often much is happening behind the scenes, especially when many people are working for common cause. Collective consciousness is powerful. A lot can be done in a short time.
Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cancer 47, will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with several factors and their signs. Note where these factors fall in your chart, which house(s). That is the section of your life that they activate. Check with your astrologer for further personal details.
3) Connections with other planets, Algol and the GC
Neptune is at 24 Pisces sextile Algol, square the Galactic Center! The divine order is awry, and even a positive sextile with Algol can be a daunting affair. Can you trust her?! If she uses her miraculous feminine super powers some mighty saves may happen. Neptune’s great visions may prove to hold extraordinary keys.
New Moon’s by nature start new cycles. In Virgo, a mutable sign, they can start a new order! Feel the weight of your thinking shift, your attention broaden then focus in for the prime objective! New Moons help us see the seeds of new beginnings, a feeling of their potential, expanding energy. The High Priestess calls her people to focus on divine progress.
Step closely to blend our powers! Let Fate find your way.
Pisces-Virgo Full Harvest-Corn Moon!
Friday Sep 10, 2:59 AM Pacific at 17 Pisces 41
Spiritual structure is elemental to our lives! Virgo tends life’s Garden to assure our well being.
The Almanac says the full Moon that happens nearest to the fall equinox (September 22 or 23) always takes on the name “Harvest Moon.” Unlike other full Moons, this full Moon rises at nearly the same time—around sunset—for several evenings in a row, giving farmers several extra evenings of moonlight and allowing them to finish their harvests before the frosts of fall arrive. Harvest Moons are famous for appearing very large!
In honor of the freedom of art, the beauty of color and design! Fine art by Carol Nelson. Mixed Media Collage Landscape Painting, “Harvest Moon” See more of her stunning work and info about her upcoming workshops!
Venus, Sun and Mercury have ventured away from the main group making a Fall spread. The chart pattern is called a Seesaw with the typical oppositions. The Full Moon axis is emphasized, Moon in Pisces with Neptune, the Pisces planet. Very different than the Leo Full Moon when Moon was in Aquarius with Saturn square Uranus the AQ planet. In comparison that was a hard edged Moon compared with this soft sensing Moon. Sun in Virgo will need to be careful with his criticisms, more expressing his positive assessments.
All the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, are now Retrograde as of Aug 24 through Oct 8! They are all in the base group. Each is reconsidering recent events, re-circuiting causes, tinkering with solutions. In short, things are not stable, but in an adjustment phase with more to come when they go over the same degrees a third time after they turn forward, direct. Some will stay in long 1 degree stations when they turn. That gives you the opportunity to focus steadily, absorb, really feel, sort, peaceably relinquish what no longer works, use your new free time to establish the best.
Mercury in Libra is in the 5th day of his RETROGRADE Station, Rx as of yesterday, reassessing his stance, balancing it with his opposite Jupiter in Aries’ super strong push. By nature, Libra is vulnerable to seeing both sides and not wanting to take a stand of his own. Jupiter is like a bucking horse wanting to throw off doubt and inaction. Libra wants to negotiate, and Jupiter in Aries feels the urgency, doesn’t want to miss the window, says there is no time for that, it’s now or never! Mercury is still looking for further options now that things have shifted directions. Jupiter may be furious, possibly later relieved things were delayed. It sure is going to take longer than expected.
Mercury came close to trine Mars in Gemini. They are now acquainted, but Mercury is turning away, retrograde. However, he will remember Mars’ fiery appraisals, take that inspiration with him. They won’t make their exact trine until Oct 26 during Mars’ 1 degree retrograde station Oct 18 to Nov 11. At that time, Mars, practically standing still, will be more able to listen to Mercury’s considerations. Also, Mercury shall have more experience with the current situations and can now see how right Jupiter was about the urgency. Yet it was not fated to have happened then. Other things have changed some of the reasoning and different options will become available.
Venus in specific Virgo is doing her talented nitpicky thing, gathering as much more information as she can to help them. She was just having a productive chat with Jupiter, understands his plight, and is coming up to square Mars in Gemini. She and Mars are each in one of Mercury’s two signs. He gives Venus raw data, she organizes it for purpose. He may have more patience with her if she does the work quickly and it keeps them all from making a big mistake or gives them the base they need to go for it! But with Mercury Rx, there are bound to be some misses, hopefully some quick saves. Moon with Neptune in Pisces is floating a bit and there will be insights and omits not realized until later and maybe too late. Or they will be so out of the box, especially together, and come up with helpful unknowns that have profound effect on their choices! Pisces has an uncanny practically mystical overview and Mother Moon in Pisces, the Mother of Heaven, is super aware of cycles and timing. Just keep them from trying to save everyone, and away from the local pub, LOL!
It’s like having a bunch of scattered cats! Several are venturing off and may need to be gathered back. Someone needs to keep them connected. That just may be Uranus anchored in Taurus! Moon is sextile him and sees how he can be detached yet steadily purposeful for their long term cause! He is an unexpected Gate Keeper! Sun in Virgo, another Earth sign, trines and trusts him mostly. She knows there are wrinkles in his system – unknowns, kinks in his electricity – genius instability that makes him creative and inventive, yet she trusts him and gives him the goods of the group! That means a lot coming from Virgo. She’s generally quite skeptical of eccentrics.
The Saturn in Aquarius, separating square Uranus in Taurus, is still close right now but won’t become exact. The square was made three times in 2021, so this now is a reminder to keep processing what was gained then. We experienced a lot of isolation from friends and work shifted for many due to the pandemic. There were breakthroughs due to necessity. There were forever losses as not everyone made it. Many are still grieving even as they go on successfully. At times it is bittersweet. Along with the personal changes, we face political and environmental shifts. Basic responsibilities made important by the time frame, and freedoms of all kinds are being questioned. See more about Saturn Square Uranus.
Deeply faithful, pitted against Uranus, Saturn still has good intentions. Saturn rules Capricorn, another winter sign. Cap is the sign of high rocky mountains, staunch timbered ski resorts, impeccable professionalism, the wisdom of elders, awards and honors for impressive accomplishments. Saturn works hard and it pays off. When times are slim financially, he is a wizard at surviving. He reuses, uses less, adroitly scavenges, knows how to sacrifice, drives a hard bargain, makes use of shortcuts that save time and money. He often comes out with better skills than when he went in! Remarkable. Shrewd resourcefulness.
Virgo and Pisces are aware of the difficulties Saturn brought to Uranus. They know there have been setbacks and holding steady under fire, Uranus has proven his strength.
Moon in Pisces, the last sign, is a collector of spiritual memory and has the accumulated wisdom of many generations, Souls and lifetimes. Along with her opposite, Sun in Virgo, she will hold us to our spiritual practices. Their connection with Uranus will keep them tuned with their bodies as well as mind. Yoga to stretch and loosen, walking/hiking to move our molecules, swimming to cleanse, meditation to rest our spirit, let the mind flow freely. The archive of the Dreamtime will offer spiritual chatter to guide the daily application of our quests.
Independent healer/teacher and business person, sometimes matchmaker, Chiron in Aries, has recently been connected with several planets and the North Node. He has more import than an immediate glance shows. His imprint is still lingering. He is midpoint semisextile linking Moon and Uranus/North Nod. He has lent his kick and shifted quick information their way. Moon was for only a few hours, but Chiron and Uranus have traveled together for years. Chiron is becoming more humanistic, works with bigger groups, while Uranus has added more shamanic qualities to tending his flock. See more!
- Virgo Sun has passed the inconjunct with Chiron. Sun was tempted to spend some time with this fellow healer and momentarily s/he wavered in her path. She could see he had some new ideas but their connection at a distance, each busy, was brief though possibly potent. Neither are time wasters, so they got to the point quickly.
- Saturn has moved on from his sextile with Chiron. Both are old timers in a manner of speaking. They commiserate, savor the memories of work done, compare techniques that have done well, remind each other to keep building and push through nuisance obstacles! They are stalwart experienced champions! See more!
Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn are remaining in close sextile, as they have off and on since 1950. Neptune is Pluto’s psychic dreamer, spiritual guide, a secret power in his background. Pluto brings potent empowerment to Neptune’s wishes, matters of the Soul! Pluto brings material funding as well as the power of the deep within Kundalini flame of life! If there are addictions, Pluto burns away the dross, detoxes and counsels.
Jessica Davidson says:
‘The Neptune Pluto cycle represents the transformation of religion and collective ideas about the divine and our beliefs about reality. These ideas influence how we structure society and build civilisation, so this cycle also coincides with the rise and fall of empires and cultures.
Pluto represents the archetype of transformation and evolution and is associated with the collective shadow, mass movements, and the drive for power. Neptune represents the archetype of transcendence and idealism and is associated with collective dreams, imagination, spirituality, and inspiration.
Neptune spiritualizes and refines Pluto, encouraging reform through osmosis and gradual change. It seeps in slowly and influences through subtle inspiration and visionary shifts in consciousness. But it can also stir up the hidden depths of Pluto, giving voice to dark emotions and taboos and fueling the desire for power. Power is also wielded through the use of images and mass emotion to create change.
This can be a positive process that inspires great faith and hope through uplifting ideas and visions. But it can also involve mass illusions and escapism that can end in death and destruction…’ See more about the Neptune Pluto cycle and Jessica’s thoughts.
This combination will have deep content change when Pluto enters Aquarius March 2023. Pluto does retrograde back and forth between Capricorn and Aquarius, giving Neptune, and the rest of us, a chance to adjust. Then in March 2025, Neptune enters ARIES along with Saturn entering Aries as well! Wow! Neptune will retrograde back into Pisces once. There will be further varying adjustments with Pluto! The sextile continues, but will often be what we astrologers call ‘out of sign!’ It will be numerically sextile energy, but the signs may not be ‘compatible.’ The positive offers that sextiles usually bring may be more difficult to enact until we are able to work the disparate signs well together.
The Fixed Stars, Galactic Center/GC, and Pluto!
Neptune 24 Pisces and Pluto, 26 Capricorn 18 continue to activate major fixed star Algol 26 Taurus and the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius 09.
Pluto moves only 3° a year, retrograding back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine fixed star Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16. Please see more in the New Moon Fixed Stars Summary above.
The GC is the center of our Milky Way, a monumental power center encompassing huge knowledge. Sagittarius is the Teacher, traveler of the cosmos across dimensions beyond our understanding, yet it exists and we have access. The GC Stars send Light from aeons away, a subtle light, but perhaps even more potent because we can’t ‘see’ it and don’t fight it. If your chart factors link up, you may find yourself having insights, both enlightening and perverse.
The Galactic Center offers accessing stunning options in the magnitude of billions of stars, galaxies upon galaxies! We may only get inklings, impressions, but go for the most potent long term options you can conceive of. They are stepping stones to even greater options to come. Stretch, reach out of the box! Hang on and pull yourself up! There will be spirits out there reaching to help you along! More on the Galactic Center!
Neptune and Pluto are also connected with quite an array of stars at this time! Spica 23 Libra, Arcturus 24 Libra, Procyon 25 Cancer 47, Algol 26 Taurus, the Galactic Center 27 Sagittarius and Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion at 28 Gemini! All these combinations give a complex scenario. Some heads will roll while others may have a spiritual initiation! There may be a renowned profile shot, maybe in black and white, that goes viral and then some. It may be a profound crusade symbol for many years, particularly while Pluto is in Aquarius. Note where these factors fall in your chart, which house(s). That is the section of your life that they activate. Check with your astrologer(s) for further personal details.

Penumbral Eclipses translate energy of the Sun though Earth as the Medium, to Moon in Shadow. Moon is shrouded then significantly dimmed, then emerges back though the shadow cape back to as we see her as usual. Though we in North America won’t see it at home, it still happens. If you want to visually follow it, find a good webcam site. If you want to meditate, be Sun, be Earth, feel what Moon receives. As Moon, send your filtered energy with Earth’s gratitude, prayers for all Beings, human, animal, Tree and Stone people and as you are guided.
