Fall Equinox September 22, 2013


The fall equinox occurs on September 22, 2013 at 4:44 pm EDT, when daylight hours equal night time hours. This is a time of increasing darkness and a call to go inside for inner work and reflection. The equinoxes and solstices always mark turning points in the year, where it is time to shift gears and refocus on the important issues in your life.  

Pisces Full Moon September 19, 2013


This month's full moon is in Pisces on September 19, 2013 at 7:13 am EDT. The Sun is in Virgo and the Moon is in Pisces. Virgo deals with the earthly part of the body and mind and Pisces deals with the etheric, transcendent part of us. This full moon allows us to merge our body with our spirit in a more conscious way. We are divine beings having an earthly experience. Saturn and Venus conjoin the North Node the day before this full moon asking us to reflect on how harshly we may still judge ourselves and others. With Pluto in sextile to Saturn, we can release our judgments more easily at this time. 

New Moon September 5 2013

Virgo New Moon September 5  
 
The new moon this month occurs in Virgo on September 5, 2013 at 7:38 am EDT. Both the Sun and Moon are in Virgo, an earth sign ruled by Mercury. Mercury relates to the mind, communication and information. Virgo relates to health, diets, exercise, and the relationship between the body and mind. With the Northern Hemisphere entering autumn and the harvest season, the abundance of fruits and vegetables at this time of year encourage us to eat a colourful rainbow of produce. This is an excellent time to cleanse and detox our bodies, while strengthening and clearing our minds.  Chiron opposes this new moon, also suggesting healing the body through diet and exercise. With Mercury and Virgo the focus this month, remember to be careful with your thoughts as our thoughts are manifesting into reality very quickly now.
