Sun Signs For September 2005
Sun in Virgo grounds our creativity into form
The sun entered Virgo on August 22, ushering in the last month of the summer season, and bringing a hint of autumn. Following the playfulness and creativity of Leo, the earth sign, Virgo serves to ground our new creations into reality by developing the practical steps necessary for successful implementation. Analytical by nature, people with Virgo sun, moon, or rising, have the ability to sort through much information, and choose the components that will be the most useful. If they refrain from wasting time with over-analysis, Virgos can be enormously resourceful people who provide the precision and attention to detail others lack.
New moon brings order & established productivity
We have a new moon in Virgo on September 3 that sets the tone for the remainder of the month. Most of us will be inspired to establish more cleanliness and order in our home and work, along with new, positive health routines. The planet of change and revolution, Uranus, opposes the new moon, bringing extra impetus to clean out the old and make room for the new.
Positive aspects promote the power to create
For the first three weeks of September, the sun in Virgo is supported by a very positive aspect from Mars in Taurus, giving us the power and motivation to accomplish a tremendous amount in a brief span of time. The planet Mars, often referred to in ancient mythology as the “God of War,” actually represents the male archetype in all of its positive expressions as well, including the ability to initiate activity, build, and produce outcomes. The dreams and plans envisioned last month while the sun was in Leo are now provided with the energy and drive needed to move forward to manifestation.
Romance, beauty, and insight fill our lives
The planet of love, beauty and romance, Venus is in her home sign of Libra, and joins Jupiter in Libra for the first ten days of September. This aspect can ignite romance, filling our love relationships with joy, adventure and excitement. The planet of spiritual inspiration, Neptune, joins the pair in a most favorable aspect, adding beauty and artistic creativity, as well as profound insight to our relationships and creative experiences.
The full moon brings concepts to fruition
On September 17, we have a full moon in Pisces, opposite the sun and Mercury in Virgo. The full moon brings the essence of the Virgo energy that was initiated at the new moon into full expression. With the positive influence from Mars and other planets, this should be a most fertile time to introduce new projects or bring new concepts to fruition. If our vision is clear, and we are guided by our higher spiritual nature, our endeavors will succeed.
The autumn equinox inspires vision and balance
The planet of communication, Mercury, enters Libra on September 20, followed by the sun on September 22, bringing the autumn equinox, which initiates a moment of vision and opportunity. If you can devote the time at the equinox (7pm for Pacific Daylight Time in America), a few moments of quiet inner reflection, prayer or meditation, can yield great insights into the energies and opportunities of the coming three months. For the remainder of September, the sun will be in Libra, bringing balance to the length of the days and nights, and hopefully, inspiring you to create balance in every aspect of your life.
