September, 2004
By Norma Jean Ream
Fussy, temperamental, and agitated may be common sentiments for the
month of September. This month’s sign, Virgo, is about attention to
details, perfection, and to that end, worry. There is also a strong
virtue of service and a willingness to work hard to achieve goals.
There is a group of planets passing through the sign and all moving
ahead into Libra with the Fall Equinox, September 24. Jupiter, the
slowest moving of the group, marks a change that is relative to
world-view, philosophy, judgment and integration.
The other planets involved include Mars, associated with actions and
intentions; the Sun, which spotlights monthly themes, and Mercury, ruler
of the sign. Mercury is associated with communications, learning,
understanding, and communications. Virgo is its best sign.
Watch the Presidential campaign heat up around mid-month when the New
Moon (September 14) occurs with the Virgo grouping of planets that
includes an opposition to Uranus, bringing out revolution, and an
orientation to uniting the commonality of people versus the inhumanity
of corporations and big government. This will bring out stronger public
opinion than we have seen on network news. Demonstrations at the
Republican Convention on the Full Moon, August 29 have set a new level
of concern for civil rights. This time-period activates the age group
born during mid-1960s who have very powerful configurations in the signs
of Virgo and Pisces. Their voices, their numbers will be expanding as
they feel the call to serve their country on the side of individual
rights.
Truth and integrity become very potent tools in decision making as we
try to sort out stories that surface about the candidates. This month we
must analyze and integrate our own perceptions of what is happening at
the world level.
Bring these ideas home to the personal level and we find ourselves being
more aware of how we are interacting with those closest to us. There is
the potential to become fully honest, being true to self while opening
to others so that they can know us more deeply. The idea of being REAL
is strongest in this time of Virgoian analysis and truth in the first 3
weeks of September.
The movement of Jupiter into Libra on September 26 will be a strong
indicator of changes coming through the year ahead. Jupiter is a planet
of expansion and inspiration, and it gains strength by changing signs.
Jupiter rules high finance and speculation. The past year in Virgo,
allowed Jupiter’s significations go out of control. As it changes, there
is a reining-in of expansion, market prices, and speculation
investments.
Libra is the sign of harmony, equality, balance, and relationships. This
sign is at the top of the United States chart and represents ideals that
guide our country’s place in the world. As Jupiter enters Libra, the
pre-election advertising, story-telling (interviews), and promotional
programs will have a lot of influence on the public. October will bring
two eclipses, which are very potent times for change. Use September for
practical projects that resemble preparing for winter, for the winter
ahead has unexpected twists. |
