Uranus still Retrograde in Aries \u2013 15 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Uranus is that Planet that hates to be confined. It is known as the \u201cbreak out\u201d Planet for that reason. When retrograde, Uranus can be responsible, more traditional and relaxed. As Uranus goes retrograde in Aries, there is a feeling of enthusiasm and courage to take responsibility. It is not a time to worry about what others think about you. Do your own thing at your own pace and life will be grand. Uranus goes direct Dec 21<\/span> in Aries \u2013 12 degrees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Neptune<\/strong> still Retrograde in Pisces \u2013 6 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ah, the simple pleasures of seeing more clearly. The continued Retrograde of Neptune raises a few eyebrows. The realization of the clarity of futuristic vision and how we need to continue certain aspects will shine light on any subject as a higher echelon. Neptune usually likes to cloud issues, especially when spiritual love is in order, but that tends to fade away during a Retrograde. Neptune goes direct on Nov 16<\/span> in Pisces \u2013 4 degrees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pluto still Retrograde in Capricorn \u2013 11 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Issues surrounding transformations are still an issue. It\u2019s difficult to make changes when the time isn\u2019t right. The summer is going to be one of sticking to your guns and doing what you know and do best. When the seasons change, so will you. Pluto goes direct on Sept 22<\/span> in Capricorn \u2013 10 degrees. See below.<\/p>\n

Labor Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, September 1, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>12:01 am EDT<\/strong> (<\/strong>Midnight<\/span><\/strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kick off your shoes and pad around barefoot on the last holiday of Summer!! As a day of rest from Labor, we look at the House of Employment, the 10th House. Neptune and Chiron, both retrograde, share space at the onset of the day bringing energy of awareness and egotistical self-sacrifice. Enacted into law in 1894, Grover Cleveland was filled with unfounded trepidation. Today, it marks the symbolic end of Summer. Schools begin their new school year depending on the region. It is also the official end to wearing white pants\u2026 As the evening winds down, take time to settle in for a nice relaxing evening. It’s a short work-week, so enjoy a moment of peace and quiet after the long weekend.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mercury enters Libra<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, September 2, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>1:25 am EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Communications are weighed heavily against all odds. When you speak, you try to find balance in your words that will neither negate nor accent a subject. It is all about finding the truth in the matter and analyzing it for an honorable result.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Venus enters Virgo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, September 5, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>12:51 pm EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venus finds itself in its Fall when entering Virgo\u2026 not a very prominent position for Venus on the Zodiac Chart. The Planet of hedonistic love wanders with precision in the Sign of exactness. Know what you want, when you want it or you won\u2019t get what you want exactly. And that won\u2019t make for a good setting. Don\u2019t fret about what others want; just be mindful of your specifics and be justified that it is what it is at the time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Full Moon in Pisces \u2013 16 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, September 8, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>9:38 pm EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A Full Moon brings final fruitions and manifestations of positive energies that have been building since the last New Moon. When the Moon is Full in Pisces, we find our emotions more sedate, calm and happy-go-lucky. This energy is quite welcome since the previous planetary energies have been chiding us up to this point.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Native Lore<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Full Moon in September is also known as the Harvest Moon, because many farmers are still bringing in the harvests of the final season. Oftentimes, they work well into the evening hours and then, when the Moon is Full, they have the ability to work under its beaming light. Many of the crops that are brought in are grains and corns. Thus, the Full Moon of September is also aptly named the Grain Moon or Corn Moon as well. Apples, Pears and other fruits are usually in season at this time, so the Full Moon has an additional name of Fruit Moon.<\/p>\n

9\/11 \u2013 Patriot Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday, September 11, 2014<\/strong> – <\/strong>00:01 am<\/strong> EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we look upon this day in history, we remember the victims of the Towers in New York City in 2001. We honor the fallen heroes that rushed to save innocent lives. As a nation we strive to secure our borders against unknown enemies that threaten our way of life and our freedom. The Planets are lined up as evenly as possible to energize every nook and cranny for our Hearths and Homes. On this day, be mindful of your own well-being, be gentle with others and support your loyalties.<\/p>\n

Mars enters Sagittarius<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, September 13, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mars leaves his Rulership Sign and begins a new Journey thru its neighbor, Sagittarius. As a Planet of action, we look for typical impulses, but Sagittarius pulls out the optimistic card. Actions of interest will look forward to something new and exciting almost like expecting a good review in the end.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sun enters Libra \u2013 Happy Birthday, Libra!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, September 22, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>10:17 pm EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome the first day of Autumn – the time of equal days and equal nights. It is a time for finding balance in Body, Mind and Spirit. The Sun in Libra brings power and excitement for finding that balance. As this is the Fall of the season, take time to watch the Sun set over the horizon tonight. You will be able to scry the various cloud formations for answers to your many questions. Bring a friend or two to enjoy and share the moment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pluto goes Direct in Capricorn \u2013 10 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, September 22, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>11:02 pm EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transformations seem to be heading in the right direction finally as Pluto sits in Capricorn. We remain cautious with our minor endeavors to bring change in our lives, especially when it comes to saving money and becoming more frugal. If you are planning to make an investment, do your research to find proof against it; you may find more reasons to invest in it than not.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Moon in Libra \u2013 1 degree<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, September 24, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>2:13 am EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A New Moon is always a good thing… where the Dark Moon finally rids us of negativity, the New Moon begins to filter positive energy into the void. Libra presents a balance to the whole and to find perfection, where it is needed most. Emotions level out and there is a happy medium. Enjoy this energy!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mercury enters Scorpio<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, September 27, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>6:25 pm EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercury has a way of helping us to communicate in the most profound ways. Philosophical moments may come and go, but the words of wisdom will ring in an air of truth. What you say today will come back to praise you later, as controversial as it may have been at the time. Remember to avoid speaking with a hidden agenda or it will bite you in the end later.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Venus enters Libra<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, September 29, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>4:35 pm EDT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Venus comes home to its Rulership Sign!! Ah, that feels good! The Planet of love, art and beauty can find peace for the moment. She is all about finding a happy medium in her life and surroundings. Be warned, though; she can also find happiness in playing the devil’s advocate, too.<\/p>\n
