September 2007
September is astrologically 'reasonably quiet'. Saturn enters Virgo on the 2nd of the month accompanied with a devilish alliance of a manic Mercury squaring Pluto and a turbulent Mars squaring Uranus the next day.
There is, on September 11th, an 'awkward' Partial Solar Eclipse at 18 degrees Virgo 12-31 GMT. The month starts with us still deeply immersed in the period between eclipses of the Moon and the Sun.
Saturday September 1st 2007
State of the skies:-The Sun today reaches nine degrees Virgo. There are 21 days to the Autumn Equinox.
The waning Moon rushing through Aries trines Saturn at 05:19 GMT and then is void of course. She enters Taurus 05:36 GMT.
Mercury is an 'evening star' in Virgo. Mercury squares Pluto on Monday. He turns retrograde again on October 12th at 9 degrees Scorpio.
Venus is a 'morning star' and still retrograde in Leo. Venus resumes direct motion on September 8th after receiving an encouraging sextile aspect from Mars on Monday. On Oct. 8th Venus reenters Virgo. On Oct. 14th Venus is conjunct Saturn in Virgo, Venus enters new zodiac territory at this time.
Mars is midway through Gemini. He is drawing closer to Earth by the day approaching his opposition to the Sun in December and outshining all the stars in the sky at that time. He enters Cancer on September 28th 2007.
Jupiter is now less than 16 degrees from his 'one off' conjunction with Pluto in early December.
The seasons are changing and are here traced for you.
Sunday Sept. 2nd 2007
UK space scientists and engineers have designed a mission to investigate a potentially hazardous asteroid. The 300m-wide (980ft) rock, known as Apophis, will fly past Earth in April 2029 at a distance that is closer than many communications satellites. Under the proposal Apex would rendezvous with Apophis in January 2014 and spend three years sending data back to scientists and engineers on Earth. From the data, orbit modeling would enable an accurate prediction of the risk of collision with our planet.
Apophis facts
Orbits the Sun every 324 days, crossing Earth's orbit twice
Not spherical, diameter of 300m; a mass of 27m tonnes
Name: Ancient Egyptian god Apep ('The Destroyer')
Discovery: In 2004 by a University of Hawaii team
The total Lunar Eclipse last Tuesday seems to have created a 'news vacuum'. In the five days following the event world news stories have been 'diluted'.
Ex-PM Benazir Bhutto yesterday vowed to return to Pakistan soon, despite failing to reach a deal with the president.
Today the Moon wanes and decelerates in Taurus. Both the Sun and the Moon (together with Mercury) are in Earth signs (as they were yesterday) this Sunday will evoke a 'no-nonsense' practicality
Today Saturn at last departs from Leo and enters Virgo 13:47 GMT. He will finally leave this sign July 21st 2010, although he will venture into Libra and then return to Virgo between Oct. 29th 2009 and April 7th 2010.
During his residence in Virgo the major aspect he will make is a series of five oppositions to Uranus in Pisces on Nov 4th 2008, Feb 5th 2009, Sept. 15th 2009, April 26th 2010 and finally July 26th 2010 (across Libra Aries). This opposition last occurred (5 times) in the period April 1965 to Jan 1967, Saturn was then in Pisces and Uranus was in Virgo. Before that it occurred during the period Oct 1918 to June 1920.
The Total Lunar Eclipse on Feb. 21st 2008 will be conjunct Saturn in Virgo. Mars will be conjunct Saturn in Virgo on Jul 10th 2008. Mercury and Venus will be conjunct Saturn in Virgo during the period Aug 14th to Aug 16th 2008. On August 30th 2008 the New Moon will be conjunct Saturn in Virgo. The Full Moon on March 11th 2009 will be conjunct Saturn in Virgo opposite Uranus and the New Moon on September 18th 2009 will be conjunct Mercury and Saturn in Virgo opposite Uranus in Pisces. On May 23rd 2010 Jupiter then in Pisces and drawing close to Uranus will oppose Saturn in Virgo. All of these points in time will serve to accentuate the crystalline Saturn in Virgo vibration.
Saturn was last in Virgo from Nov 17th 1977 till September 21st 1980 except for the period from Jan to July 1978 when he backsteped into Leo.
Saturn in Virgo initiates a wave of health, efficiency, and performance regimes. The wave is both critical, conservative, (Margaret Thatcher was elected to power in the UK under Saturn in Virgo), industrious and it invokes tempering effects. The lesson to be learnt is one of conservation and effectiveness. These are no easy lessons for the mutable Sun sign people during the next two and a half years, Virgo Gemini, Pisces and Sagittarius have difficult lessons in store.
Today is the start of a whole new chapter for us all, and its start is accompanied by difficulties caused by Mercury squaring Pluto and Mars squaring Uranus tomorrow.
Saturn will next enter Virgo in October 2036.
Monday September 3rd 2007
The ingress of Saturn into Virgo coincided with the following news stories yesterday.
Iran says it has met its target to have 3,000 centrifuges enriching uranium for its nuclear programme.
Lebanon's army says it has full control of a refugee camp where Islamist militants have been holed up since May.
North Korea agrees to declare and disable its nuclear facilities by the end of 2007, a top US official says.
The 550 UK troops based in Basra have begun their pull-out from their base at Basra Palace.
In the UK there is rumour of an autumn 2007 general election.
Today the fast moving but now decelerating Moon in Taurus trines Mercury in Virgo 00:48 GMT and is void of course. A difficult day follows.
Mercury himself squares Pluto 05:02.
The Moon enters Gemini 07:31 GMT. The Sun and the Moon (together with Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) are then in mutable signs.
Mars squares Uranus 20:09 GMT.
Venus in Leo, still retrograding, sextiles Mars in Gemini 23:37 GMT.
Very much a 'to and fro' sort of day. Much movement and restlessness. Difficult to settle, difficult to see clearly and judgement is comprimised.
Tuesday September 4th 2007
In the UK yesterday the prime minister Gordon Brown insisted the withdrawal of troops from their last remaining base in Basra city is not a defeat.
He has refused to rule out an early general election amid continuing speculation about an October poll.
US President George W Bush made a surprise visit to Iraq for talks with senior officials on the impact of the surge.
One person was killed during angry clashes between police and protesters in South Africa, police say.
N Korea said the US has agreed to remove it from a list of nations supporting terrorism, following talks.
An international team of scientists have discovered the first gene that influences a person's height.
Today the Virgo Sun squares Jupiter 00:05 GMT.
AT 01:00 the Moon in Gemini forms a mutable T-square with Jupiter in Sagittarius and the Virgo Sun.
The Moon reaches last quarter phase 02:33 GMT at 11 degrees Gemini.
The Moon is conjunct Mars in Gemini 13:07 GMT. (Both sextile Venus and square Uranus).
A similar astrological vibration to yesterday can be expected today, full of multiplicity but less threatening.
Wednesday September 5th 2007
Subtle changes and modulations are predicted for today.
The Moon forms another mutable T-square with Mercury and Pluto weakly around 05:00 GMT.
The Moon at the very end of Gemini squares Mercury at the very end of Virgo 11:02 GMT and enters Cancer 11:09 GMT. This is the first modulation.
Mercury enters Libra today at 12:03 GMT. This is the second.
Mercury will reside in Libra until the 27th of September 2007. During this very short time he sextiles Jupiter in Sagittarius on September 13th, sextiles Venus in Leo on the 17th, trines Neptune in Aquarius on the 19th, sextiles Pluto in Sagittarius on the 24th, and finally trines Mars in Gemini on the 26th. This constitutes a 'smooth pathway' through Libra. Take the opportunity to make all your communications pleasant and harmonious. Don't however expect people to make important decisions. This is a period of wavering. Mercury in his retrograde phase reenters Libra and resides there for the period Oct. 24th to Nov. 11th 2007. The time for adjustments then follow.
Thursday September 6th 2007
Yesterday Germany detained three men suspected of planning a "massive" terrorist attack on US targets.
The US Air Force has launched an investigation after a B-52 bomber flew across the US last week mistakenly loaded with nuclear-armed missiles. The flight took place on 30 August, from the Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to the Barksdale Air Force Base, near Bossier City, in Louisiana.
In the UK Regulators have agreed in principle to allow human-animal embryos to be created and used for research.
Five days remain to the Partial Solar Eclipse.
The Moon, decreasing in light and motion in Cancer, trines Uranus at 17:05 GMT and is void from that moment for 24 hours.
This day is supremely humdrum.
Friday September 7th 2007
News stories yesterday were especially low key. In the UK the main news was reporting Portuguese detectives re-interviewing the mother of missing Madeleine McCann as a witness. Meanwhile the US headlines reported that rescuers were searching across 10,000 square miles for signs of missing adventurer Steve Fossett.
A minor lunar occultation visible from the UK of star Kappa Gemini occurs this morning approx. 04:03 GMT.
Pluto turns direct at 26 Sagittarius 10.53 GMT today. He is now unimpeded as he irrevocably moves towards Capricorn. Pluto in Sagittarius has brought us, among other things, suicide bombers, masses of people with mobile phones, masses of people using the Internet and very cheap air travel. Pluto in Capricorn (starting January 2008) looks like bringing us mass DNA testing and compulsory 'loyalty cards' in supermarkets, both to gather personal information about us all to be put on the 'one database' for government perusal. Take a brief look ahead at some of the planetary alignments and arrays during the 2010 to 2012 period on the future Daze.
(There are no plans to make it compulsory for everyone in the UK to be on the national DNA database, the UK government said on Thursday. The comment came after a senior judge called for all UK residents and visitors to be required to provide a DNA sample to help police solve crimes.)
Today the void of course Moon hits balsamic phase 30 degrees Cancer 16:24 GMT and begins the final run up to the partial Solar eclipse which occurs next Tuesday. She enters Leo 17:00 GMT.
From today for four days up to the Solar Eclipse, Mars in Gemini Uranus in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo form a mutable T-square. These are 'testy' and 'testing' days, potentially mildly shattering to the nerves!
Tonight however is a good time to pull out all the stops, to play, and to have some fun.
Latest update:- Saturday September 8th 2007
Americans should "embrace Islam" to stop the Iraq war, says a video from al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
The UK news gripping our attention yesterday reported that Portuguese police had named both parents of Madeleine McCann as formal suspects in her disappearance. Gerry McCann was officially given "arguido" status about 12 hours after his wife Kate. They had been questioned separately for more than 24 hours. No bail conditions or charges have been imposed and both deny any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance on 3 May. On the day in question the Moon was just past the Full, void of course, in Scorpio. Activities done at such a time can remain 'hidden' for ever. The astrology could suggest 'we may never know'.
Voters in Sierra Leone are going to the polls in the decisive second round of a close presidential election.
'This is the weekend before a partial solar eclipse'.
Mark your calendar and set your alarm. On Saturday morning, Sept. 8th, "morning star" Venus reaches its greatest brilliancy of the year as the slender crescent Moon glides by--a beautiful ensemble! Look east just before sunrise:
Venus today (like Pluto yesterday) also turns direct 16:19 GMT. The Moon wanes very slowly in Leo and is conjunct Venus 23:48 GMT.
A positive rush of energy (associated with these planets) is released as they turn direct. The energy here is of course 'true love', bring it on I hear you say.
Another night to have a ball.

Tuesday September 11th 2007
The slow Moon, the Earth and Uranus are linearly aligned within 4 minutes of arc at 09:19 GMT setting an awkward and slightly upsetting start to this day of a partial solar eclipse.
Partial Solar Eclipse at 18 degrees Virgo 12-31 GMT
The astronomy and timings of the eclipse.
The last eclipse of 2007 is a partial solar eclipse at the Moon's descending node in southern Leo. Its visibility is confined to parts of South America, Antarctica and the South Atlantic. Greatest eclipse takes place at 12:31:21 UT when the eclipse magnitude will reach 0.7505. The penumbral contact times with Earth are as follows:
Partial Eclipse Begins: 10:25:46 UT
Partial Eclipse Ends: 14:36:33 UT
This event is the sixth partial eclipse of Saros series 154. After one more partial eclipse (2025 Sep 25) The series will produce the first of many annular eclipses eclipse beginning with 2043 Oct 03.
To be continued
The astrology of the eclipse.
This eclipse is opposite Uranus. It is a turt and mildly tense affair serving as a sort of 'mid course correction'.
Mars is trine Neptune, Mercury is sextile Jupiter, Venus opposes Neptune and Saturn trines Pluto.
September 11, 2007: The solar eclipse at 18° 25' Virgo opposes Uranus at 16° 38' Pisces, all activating the degree of the Uranus-Pluto conjunction of the mid 1960s. Saturn enters Virgo. Pluto is at the degree of the Galactic Center. (Mountain astrologer).
Eclipse hits.
At the moment of maximum eclipse 12:31 GMT the Sun, Moon (opposite Uranus) are on the MC of western Ireland, Lisbon and north west Africa.
They are rising (Uranus setting) across central USA. They set Uranus rising over Nepal, east central India and Sri Lanka and are on the IC of south island New Zealand. Mercury rises at Washington DC and Panama city. Pluto rises at Rome, Vienna and Warsaw. Neptune rises over western Afghanistan, Jupiter rises at Berlin. At London Saturn in Virgo squares the local Ascendant and Pluto squares the local MC.
This eclipse directly hits the natal Pluto and Uranus conjunction of UK conservative party leader David Cameron and boxer Mike Tyson. It hits the natal Venus of the Liberia independence chart and the natal Venus Pluto conjunction of actress Julia Roberts. It hits the natal Mars Saturn conjunction of tennis star Venus Williams, and the natal lunar node of the Madagascar national chart.
The Saros
This eclipse belongs to Saros series 154. It is number 6 of a family of 71, so the Saros to which it belongs is still in its very young (and energetic) phase.
The last eclipse in this Saros family was on August 31st 1989 and before that on August 20th 1971 and August 9th 1953, Jul 30th 1935, the first eclipse in this Saros was at 26 degrees Cancer on Jul 19th 1917 central eclipse time 02:42:22 GMT.
To be continued
