Jupiter

New Moon
Sep 8 at 6:31 AM EDT/ 3:31 AM PDT at 15 Virg 41. A quiet New Moon.
Full
Moon Sep 23 at 5:18 AM EDT/ 2:18 AM PDT at 0 Ari 15. Sun and Saturn
at 6 Libr opposing Moon and Jupiter/Uranus retro at 28 Pisc and making a
T-Square with Pluto at 2 Capr makes this a dynamic and potentially surprising
Full Moon.
Planetary
Changes:
Mercury

Key
Aspects:
Sun conjuncts
Mercury retro Sep 3 at 8:36 AM EDT/ 5:36 AM PDT at 10 Virg 54.
Jupiter
retro conjuncts Uranus retro Sep 18 at 9:07 PM EDT/ 6:07 PM PDT at 28
Pisc 42. Second time, first was in June. Opposed by the Sun, squaring Pluto
at 2 Capr and heading toward the Full Moon (see above). Powerful symbol
of deep change, not without resistance.
Sun
opposes Jupiter retro Sep 21 at 7:37 AM EDT/ 4:37 AM PDT from 28 Virg
23 and Sun opposes Uranus retro Sep 21 at 12:59 PM EDT/ 9:59 AM PDT
from 28 Virg 36. The Sun for the next few days transits over the T-Square,
first opposing the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, then squaring Pluto at 2
Capr (see below), and conjuncting Saturn at 7 Libr, temporarily emphasizing
the ongoing T-Square.
Sun
squares Pluto Sep 25 at 8:24 PM EDT/ 5:24 PM PDT from 2 Libr 49. The
intensity of the week deepens, and blocked or hidden schemes erupt.
Sun
conjuncts Saturn Sep 30 at 8:43 PM EDT/ 5:43 PM PDT at 7 Libr 44. Along
with the Moon at 6 Canc forming a temporary Grand Cross with Jupiter/Uranus
retro at 27-28 Pisc, and square to Pluto at 3 Capr. This marks the climax
of the past week or so with the Sun "bringing to light" the corners
of the T-Square.
In
addition addition Venus trines Neptune Sep 4, Venus trines Chiron Sep
5, Mars trines Neptune Sep 9, Mars trines Chiron Sep 10, Venus sextiles
Pluto Sep 11-12, Mars sextiles Pluto Sep 18.
