September 9, 2018 9 + 9 + 1 +8 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9) 

What is interesting about this date this year is not just that it all adds up to the number 9 (well, if we add in the 2000 for 2018, it would be 2 made from an 11--spiritual number), there was a new moon in Virgo today around noon Eastern time. New moons mean a new phase coming in. Nine, in numerology, means the end of something, termination, and the number 1 means a new beginning. So it all adds up astrologically and numerologically to usher in something new. 

 According to Numerology.com, the number 9 in a cycle suggests that “you are in the final stages of a period or endeavor, you need to empty your bucket and prepare for the new and that there are opportunities to make a difference. In Personal Year cycles, the 9 is always followed by the 1, and every time you go through that two-year phase, you go through a transformation of some kind.” 

Virgo represents the details, order, health and nutrition, practicality/feet-on-the-ground, dedicated and doing service for others. The new moon today was part of a cradle formation in the sky. The signs in the cradle are certainly suggestive of doing what is necessary to get along with others—being of service (Virgo), compassion and nurturing (Pisces), discipline and practicality (Capricorn), and keeping feelings hidden beneath the surface (Scorpio). The cradle is made up mostly of positive trines and sextiles with only one opposition.

Mercury in Virgo has just passed the exactness of being at 2 degrees to form an exact Grand Trine (the blue triangle) with Uranus and Saturn in the other earth signs of Taurus and Capricorn. But today it is still within orb enough to have an impact. Mercury rules news, communication, conversations, writing, teaching, and even short-distance travel. Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini, so it is at home and strong in Virgo. Saturn is in its home sign of Capricorn, and that is strong, as well. Uranus, which rules unpredictable Aquarius, is stirring up the security and settled nature of Taurus. But the Grand Trine is a very easy-going, positive energy that will allow unexpected events to have a positive effect on communications or news, discussions or agreements, that will be positively influenced by responsible, disciplined and practical Capricorn. A good time for a talk or an agreement that is reasonable, but that might, in a good way, shake up the settled ways of financial or comfortable, predictable ways of doing things. However, Mercury touches on the minute details, keeps things organized and is dedicated to seeing things through (virgo) so that an agreement can be reached. 

Mars in Capricorn going into Aquarius is square to Venus and square to Uranus—and Venus is opposing Uranus(the red triangle). This forms a T-square and could relate to an unexpected meeting of someone who may not be good for us but could be a passionate, aggressive means of providing pleasure and happiness, or sexual attraction. It is ultimately a challenging, difficult connection. 

Mars in Capricorn, however, wants to be impulsive and aggressive, but Capricorn keeps things in check, and Venus in Scorpio can even relate to a secret feeling of love, attraction, pleasure, beauty. Uranus could relate to the internet, or to a surprise, unexpected encounter that is sensual (Taurus relates to the pleasure of the senses—including food, wine, touch, sexuality, and visual pleasure—and it is ruled by Venus). A T-square, according to astrostyle.com , “intensifies the skies, [and] we are forced to make a decision, get off the fence and stop procrastinating. Unpleasant scenarios we’ve been avoiding may demand our attention, like chickens coming home to roost. T-Square energy can be forceful and unstoppable—a bit ruthless.” 

 Astrostyle also says that since 3 different elements make up a T-square (and in this one, Capricorn is becoming Aquarius—because Mars is at the very end of the sign and on the cusp of the next), it is possible that the answer to finding balance lies in the element that is not included—which here would be fire (Leo). Funny, because Leo rules children and those we love, as well as risks and gambles, the idea of a suddenly passionate, impulsive love affair bringing multiple challenges (squares and oppositions) to a situation, brings up the possibility that the solution is to either think of the chance of pregnancy and the hurdles to overcome with that, or risks involved in the situation. 

Chiron in Aries –fighting and confronting as a way to heal past hurts and injuries. There is an angle of opportunity to Mars in Capricorn (which just went direct after being retrograde a good part of the summer). Mars rules Aries, so there is that impulse to fight, but Capricorn grounds it, and keeps it disciplined, practical and in control—like martial arts—disciplined fighting, keeping the impulses in check. If there is action taken to fight back, but in a controlled, disciplined way, there could be positive healing effects to the social destiny (North Node in Leo), regarding children, who and what we love. But the North Node is opposing Mars in Capricorn as it heads into Aquarius, which means that Mars is conjunct the South Node—which is knowing where energy is being wasted and not putting that energy there anymore or a feeling of loss of control (as described by astrologer Nadiya Sha). It is okay to let go of what has served its karmic purpose. Thus, it is a good opportunity to use Mars in grounded Capricorn, to approach that possible loss of control in a responsible way. The positive effect on past pain/hurts and injuries is highly positive for the social destiny. 

I see a possibility for taking action related to changing something in a responsible way related to attacks, warriors, shooters, weapons, that could heal past hurts in that area, and affecting the social destiny in a highly positive way. When Mars goes into Aquarius, it will be more exactly conjunct the South Node, and in Aquarius, that energy can be used to fight for social justice and humanitarian issues in an intelligent, clever, unique way, possibly even in a rebellious way, that is energized by the chance to heal past injuries. As we move through September and into October, this will be strong.
