Capricorn

September 2011 Capricorn

The lord of our Galaxy, the Sun and the prosperous and benefactor Jupiter opens the month of September welcoming us with beautiful vibrations.
This Sun/Jupiter contact will bring some bright financial notes on the world scene which will give everyone some hope and a breather.
Particularly for you, dear Capricorn this planetary encounter will be very beneficial for your finances and investments. You may use this failing time in the financial world to rise above all and everything. You have invested your money in some very safe places and now you will reap the fruits of your clever maneuvers.
This is particularly a very lucky time for love and romance as well, if you are a single Capricorn. You may find your soul mate on a trip, and this person may be in your life for a very long time.

We have survived August madness and now we are free to start or get going with our projects.
We have a lovely and romantic full moon, and by the end of the month a new moon that will be nothing but a push for transformation and unexpected changes.
But that’s how our nature works, we don’t move out from our comfort zone unless unexpected events compel us to change.

Mercury will enter its own sign Virgo on September 9th. We won’t miss a detail; no matter how imperceptible it is. We are finding fault with each other, but before you hurt someone’s feelings remember: Everybody loves to give criticism but nobody likes to receive it.
Mercury transits Virgo until September 25th.
Mercury is the quick planet that brings communication and contacts, and in the area of travel and higher education he will do nothing but expand your knowledge through travel and learning. You may decide to go back to school or take some courses that will widen your knowledge.
Get your passport up to date, you may have to travel more often during this time.
This is a good energy for those who work with international matters, publishing or law.


The full moon will be in the sensitive and spiritual sign of Pisces on September 12th, at 5:27 AM (Eastern Time).
This full moon is all about love, peace, beauty and harmony, thanks to the presence of Venus, arm-in-arm with the Sun. Mars beautifully joins the moon’s tender vibration and the messenger and grand communicator, Mercury in peace with Pluto and Jupiter.
This full moon couldn’t be more harmonic and creative.
You may spend this full moon on an overseas trip having the best time, if you relax dear Capricorn and stop thinking about work for a while. You need this time of leisure to restore your energy.

Venus also enters her own sign Libra on the 14th until October 9th, and peace and harmony will be established during this period of time. We are more prone to make decisions that will benefit both parts instead of one side only. We know how it feels to be in someone else’s shoes.
This is a good time for negotiations, for creativity, and to appease conflicts. Time to set the wedding date or to make or answer the big question: YES! I will marry you!
This is a very positive place for Venus, your sector of career and reputation. If you want to take advantage of professional relationships or ask your boss for a raise or for a promotion, this is the right time for both. But the best day to talk to your boss is the 29th, when Venus will be arm-in-arm with your ruler Saturn.
Meeting the right people at the right time to further mutual career goals is definitely on the agenda during Venus’ stay in your sector of career.

Since April 9th 2011, Pluto has been retrograde, and today the 16th it is back to normal speed, bringing inward transformations to the surface.
Pluto is in your sign and of course you feel like things hasn’t move since April 9th no matter your efforts and hard work.
I hope you used the recent past to make inner transformations, dear Capricorn so you can enjoy now the rewards of your efforts to change.

Mars, the warrior, enhances its power entering the sign of Leo from September 18th until November 11th and this will enhance our will power and creativity. We inspire confidence in others.
Mars in Leo raises our ability to express ourselves through the arts, which will benefit many dramatic actors.
The bright side of Mars lingering in your area of sex and other people’s money is that it will stimulate your sex life. If you are too busy with your career, which most Capricorns are, you may switch your interest from career to something more intimate.
However the down side is that Mars in this area can bring a crisis or an ending in a partnership that involves money and property interests.
You may need to rely on others during this time for financial aid.

The 2011 September Equinox (fall equinox in the northern hemisphere, and spring equinox in the southern hemisphere) comes on the 23rd, at 5:04 AM (Eastern Time).
Equinox is the time when the Sun reaches the opposite balancing point in its path through the tropical zodiac, marked astrologically as the Sun enters the house of Libra. This is the time of year when night conquers day.
The sun is rising later now, and nightfall comes sooner. The time of the autumn equinox is here, when the days are getting shorter, and day and night are approximately equal in length.
The Moon is in a very active day, arm-in-arm with Mars, both in the sign of Leo and in very difficult aspect with Jupiter, but jointly, Moon and Mars, will make a perfect alignment with Uranus creating an amazing and bold energy, which translates to magnificent news and remarkable events.  But events may also surprise us at first, but they will be very transformative, leading our society towards a new and experimental journey.
If you want to be free you have to conquer your space, fight for what you believe and break out of the old patterns. This is the feeling of this Equinox.
Some of us will break free and will experience freedom for the first time.
This is a time to accept the new and to create balance in our life.
This is the time of the year you are most likely to be honored; your reputation is on the rise. You get promotions and you may work with celebrities or very important people.
This is a good day to start a new career path or to present a new project to your boss.

On the 23rd, the Sun enters the sign of Libra unfolding our internal power and heightening our principals.

On the 25th, Mercury joins the Sun, Venus, and Saturn, in the peaceful warrior sign of Libra until October 13th. Warrior because Libra impels us to fight until we establish peace and harmony… I know! It doesn’t make sense if you are not a Libra or you don’t have the moon or the rising sign in Libra. But that’s how Libra’s minds process things
This is a good time to make peaceful agreements, to work with partners or to initiate a partnership.
“Two heads are better than one.”
Mercury will influence your area of career, reputation and status. It’s the area of your chart you spend more time in, so with this parade of planets in this area your interest will be toward your career, of course.
Mercury will connect you with the right people and you find the best and smartest strategies to improve your business and your reputation.

The New Moon will be on the 27th, at 7:01 AM (Eastern Time) in the diplomatic sign of Libra, along with 3 planets (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) with the wheel of fortune in Libra as well.
This New moon will receive an angry energy from Uranus and Pluto, questioning, opposing and arguing with the diplomatic energy of Libra. Jupiter and Mars will make it bigger and outrageous, in a confrontational aspect to each other.
The first thing that came to my mind was an article I read last July 28th at the beginning of Mercury retrograde, with these words from the president of the United States; Barack Obama:

“Any solution to avoid default must be bipartisan. I urge Democrats and Republicans in the Senate to find common ground on a plan that can get support from both parties in the House, a plan that I can sign by Tuesday.”

Will this statement unfold its consequence now? Are we initiating a new cycle under their negotiations and decisions?
I see a link between the past new moon of July 30th in Leo with this present new moon in Libra; two months apart.
I think it will be nothing but shaking events, breaking news, sudden changes, transformations in government rules, amends, and facts that could shake our comfort level.
We are not going to take these new rules with ease, but we have to understand that this is the result of the collective choices and a direct action of our society. The universal events unfold following the natural flow of cause and effect.
Not fair? Yes, sometimes we are not directly responsible for the choices of our society, but our Karma is connected and when we can’t beat the outer forces, we better accept and embrace what is given to us.
I don’t like to be the bearer of bad news. But it’s better to be informed and take precautions so as to avoid the worst.

During this new moon, the planets are in such madness that all kinds of natural disasters can occur, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic explosions and so on. We should keep a survival bag with everything we need ready in case we have to leave in a rush. Riots, explosions and terrorist attacks are likely to happen as well on any part of our planet.
So being in touch with your intuition is very important during this time; if you feel like not going to a specific destination, or not taking a flight, just follow your heart and respect any feelings that could be a safety sign.
Meditate more often, and try to find in your life where you need to make changes and improvements, to avoid a personal crisis that could motivate you to change.

This heavy planetary madness is influencing your area of career, money and love… which are the three most essential subjects in one’s life. If things are out of control for you, and this could upset you very much, use challenges to help reprogram your thinking and find new maneuvers if necessary to implement in your business; at the end of the road you will be happy that you changed and improved. Unfortunately there are no sweet coated words to express other than: “Transmute or die!” It is that simple. Whatever Pluto is touching in your natal chart (and he is in your sign), has to be regenerated. Now things can go from nasty to radiant if you do your homework.

Happy September!
