SEPTEMBER 2017 PREDICTIONS
September begins with Neptune opposing the “Sun in Virgo and then sides with the full moon in Pisces. Mars then joins the Sun in Virgo, swiftly followed by Mercury and Venus. This is a huge amount of energy in the sign of Virgo, and no doubt those born under it will find themselves in the spotlight in some way this month.” This gaggle of planets in Virgo would normally be an “uptight, anxious combination”; but Neptune continues in opposition for the entire month, casting a different and modifying effect. “Virgo is not known for its relaxed go-with-the-flow approach to life. It is a sign that likes to have a certain amount of control. Virgo’s analytical and reasoning abilities is second to none, as is its ability to discriminate between what’s good and bad. Virgo, after all, is the sign that spots flaws and has a plan to fix them before anyone else.” {I interject here that I am a Leo, with a stellium in Virgo — Mercury, Moon, Saturn and Venus — in my fifth house (natal) of Self-expression Creativity, Children, Pleasure, Romance and Politics. Those of you who know me can possibly see — why I take on so! My intellect, emotions, sense of discipline and passion all revolve around fifth house concerns, and lend to my being analytical, critical, studious, dramatic, creative in speech and writing, passionate about politics and ancient knowledge, obsessed about my children — their safety and success, and tend to want to discuss important matters over small talk; that’s why I’m like a WALKING GROUP THERAPY SESSION! I’m trying to rein it in and see things more from Neptune’s vantage.} Neptune has a radically different stance on life and sees everything as One, accepts it all — good and bad, and says, “Don’t worry, because there is no wrong, it is as it should be”. So Neptune, casting this harmonious, synchronistic presence over Virgo helps us to try “to see whatever is happening in our lives or in the outside world, as part of a Divine plan”. Adopting this positive mind-frame and being in a state of allowing helps us to attract and manifest our desires much more harmoniously than the struggle and hand-wringing that some of us are prone to. A full moon on Sept 6th is accompanied by Neptune and Pisces — “a full moon of nonattachment, compassion, tolerance and forgiveness. So if you need to forgive someone, this is a good point to do so”. This theme continues “peaking around the new moon on Sept 20th when the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus align in Virgo”. This is a “blessing of new beginnings for Virgos and could be a “very potent time” — if they can adopt the “philosophy of nonattachment. For everyone else this cluster of planets along with the new moon will have strong repercussions on a particular area of life. Leos will see new beginnings in their material lives — money, work or possessions; and Sagittarians will be blessed with an auspicious turn of events in their life direction or professional worlds. Everyone will benefit from this powerful new moon in Virgo”, but it might not initially seem so for some as “so much energy is one part of the sky can feel very intense and not to everyone’s liking. So, whatever happens — the choice is ours, how we choose to experience the events; we can “start over in some way and embrace change” — we “can choose to focus on problems or celebrate the good things in our life”. We can “accept things just as they are, no matter how painful that might be”. And with that acceptance — everyone and everything softens — “and that’s when the magic appears”. Thank you Neptune, for the benevolent lesson! I choose gratitude and JOY!

November 2017 PREDICTIONS
November is a month of blessings, “gifts and good fortune, protection, benevolence and fun”. The auspicious alignment of the Sun, Venus and Jupiter brings a “celebratory atmosphere”, which everyone will benefit from, and helps us to put into perspective the tumultuous events of the past year. Many of us experienced dramatic upheavals, losses, new beginnings and difficult lessons, but we can now accept the gifts in those lessons, release the past, and soak in the beneficent energies raining down on us now! Those born under Scorpio can expect a “boost in good fortune” and can push forward “out of their comfort zones”; Taurus can see relationships blossoming; Libras are set to benefit financially; Leos will see “positive developments in their domestic lives”. Capricorn can look to “happy social events and new friendships or fulfillment of a hope or dream”; Aquarians can “anticipate greater success and opportunities in their professional lives. Pisces can look for adventure, travel, education; Sagittarius a expect a “boost in their spiritual lives — a stronger connection to the Divine”. Aries may experience “profound insights or a mystical experience, possibly facilitating a rebirth or positive financial developments. Virgo and Cancer will likely feel on top of the world, Virgos feeling more optimistic and positive, and Cancer … as this astrological alignment occurs in Cancer’s house ….they can expect to feel more happiness and well-being and desire for creative pursuits.” Jupiter opposing the full moon on Nov 4th softens and positively influences that aspect. “Between Nov 8th and 14th Venus joins Jupiter for a wonderful, celestial party — the two brightest planets in the solar system ..represent hope, happy times, good fortune and lucky events”. Focus less on work and more on FUN to maximize these frequencies! On Nov 18th a new moon in Scorpio, alongside Venus and Jupiter gives us the chance to create positive new beginnings in the area of life relating to your sign. The new moon occurs at 28 degrees, “a powerful number, so don’t waste the opportunity to convey your intentions”. A new moon is a time to set intentions, so “write them down, make a collage, hold them in your mind”. Be conscious of what you wish to create or manifest, and “the power of the new moon, blessed by the auspicious rays of Venus and Jupiter will ensure that your wish is granted”! Be conscious about your desires being in alignment with your soul and that they are for the good of all concerned. “The only planetary tension this month occurs on the day of the new moon. The highest manifestation of Mars and Pluto is the healthy expression of power and using it to do good.” Step into your own power now! The Sun joins Mercury and Saturn in Sagittarius at the end of the month. This conjunction brings a different kind of energy and urges us to seriously focus on what we want and what might be getting in our way. The choices are before us …. to take stock of our attitudes, set our intentions, put forth the effort required, take action, and make it happen! We are all powerful, multi-dimensional masters; we create our own realities .. absolutely! Let us create lives of exciting potentials, abundant blessings, loving, peaceful and healing vibrations for ourselves and our planet!
