On September 10th we will experience a new moon at 18 degrees of Virgo. This is a very harmonious new moon, with the ruler of the luminaries, Mercury, making a trine to both Uranus and Pluto, while making a sextile to Neptune. This creates a “kite” pattern in the heavens, activating the fire and air signs, known for creative inspiration, innovative thinking, and integrating intuition with intellect. This next week is an excellent time for connecting your creative ideas with action.
Also, on September 11th we celebrate Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year of 5787. This begins ten sacred days of inner journeys to review, understand, and resolve the past year, to make amends where needed, and to pray for a clean slate or be “written in the book of life” for another year. As we approach the fall equinox, I love immersing myself in these ancient rituals, prayers, and melodies of my ancestors. If you wish to celebrate, dip a slice of apple in honey, and let the taste attract sweetness for the coming year.
On a more personal note, I just returned from Chicago, IL and the 10th UAC, the United Astrology Conference. Approximately 1500 national and international astrologers and students of astrology gathered for five or more days of lectures, panels, conversations, parties and more. I saw attendees from Canada, Mexico, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Italy, Turkey, China, and even South Africa. For many of us it was the first time we met in person, although we’d connected on Zoom. It was an exhilarating experience to be in a hotel overrun with so many people wearing their UAC badges and exchange greetings, laughter and kindness. Everywhere I went I saw excitement, enthusiasm, curiosity, and generosity. Organizers had been working for two years to make this event happen and it was excellent.
