September 30th to October 12th 2013


This is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of September 30th 2013 for 1 - Akbal "awk-bol" or Night in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, also the Libra New Moon, and Venus moving into Sagittarius, not to mention the Sun forming a grand cross with Pluto, Uranus, and Jupiter.

     September 30th is 1 - Akbal "awk-bol" or Night which carries the themes of dreams, transitions from light to dark and dark to light, starry skies, subconscious thoughts, the void where nothing exists but there is all potential, the womb of creation, sanctuary, the underworld, stillness, introspection, dawn and dusk. The glyph for night is the owl, a creature of both the day and night. The 1 Night trecena is a great time to explore the dark parts in our lives and to realize that without darkness we cannot see the stars.

     I've included the Human Design transits for the trecena, along with the astrology and Tzolkin day signs. I'll quickly review some of that information before discussing the Neutrino Forecast for the current 1 - Night 13 day period. We start by looking at the position of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Planets, and Nodes as we would in astrology, except instead of relating them to the Zodialogical constellations and each other, we look at them in relation to the hexagrams of the I'Ching, which are then mapped to specific locations in the body graph. For instance at the beginning of this trecena we have the Sun in Libra also in the 18th hexagram. The shapes inside the body graph are called centers and represent the next stage in our evolution as humans from having seven chakras to having nine centers. The pathways between the centers are called channels and are from the Kabala. The Sun in the 18th hexagram is mapped to an opening in an energy channel called a gate, and which is the 18th gate of "correction", located on the lower edge of the splenic center in a collective logic energy path called the "Channel of Judgment". I have found HD to be amazingly accurate and my primary tool when I provide readings. The black strips of paper in this diagram represent the gates activated by the Sun, Planets, and Nodes regardless if they form a channel. So we have the following hanging gates or potentials at the beginning of this 1 - Night trecena; the Earth in the 17, the North node in the 44 and South Node in the 24, Mercury in the 50, Venus in the 43, Mars in the 4, Jupiter in the 53, Saturn in the 44, Uranus in the 21, and Neptune in the 55. Obviously not every gate activation forms a channel, but this information can be very helpful if you know your own Human Design chart, because some of these transits will form channels with potentials in your personal body graph. You can get your HD chart by going to jovianarchive.com, clicking on the button that says "Get your free Rave Chart", and entering your birth information. I'm not going to follow the moon with this demonstration, because it moves so fast that it activates three to four gates a day.

    On 1 - Akbal "awk-bol" or Night, we have one defined channel with the Sun in the 18 and with Pluto in the 58, we have the Channel of Judgment which is the design of Insatiability, which will be with us until October 2nd, bringing us the pressure to offer constructive criticism. This conditioning force works best if it is invited and its purpose is not personal but for the good of the collective. This can influence us to become perfectionists with an insatiability to make improvements. Unfortunately most people will not be aware of this influence and how best to apply it to their lives, so we'll see a lot of folks meeting resistance as they try to change their family and friends with little success, which leads to a sense of dissatisfaction, after all true perfection does not exist, only ascending levels of mastery.

With the Sun moving into the 57th hexagram on the 8th, and Venus in the 34, we have the Channel of Power, which is the design of an Archetype, which will be with us until October 12th. This channel brings an attunement to the body to have an acute early warning system to anything in the immediate environment. This increases our intuitive awareness through the power of a sacral response. This may affect folks to feel on guard and alert to any dangers in the moment. This is an animal instinct to engage in battle or jump out of the way with a split second response, from our attunement to sound and vibration. People will be more in tune to what is being said from the tone of voice of the speaker rather than the words spoken. Sometimes this is experienced as coolness by others, but this individual channel of survival represents the archetype of what it is to be human.

    Before I get into the daily energy of the Akbal "awk-bol" or Night trecena, I thought I'd discuss the metaphysics of the upcoming month. October is the tenth month and with the digits for 2013, when added together we get 16, then we add 1 + 6 to tell us that this is a sixteen/seven month in numerology. Basic numerology reduces numbers to one through nine, so when we think about that arc the seven represents a time of digging into events and situations to get a deeper perspective with stronger focus on values, motives, and ethics. Which are also themes of the sign Scorpio, which has several influences with Mercury and Saturn in the sign all month, the Sun entering on the 23rd, and the rulers of Scorpio; Mars and Pluto supporting each other at month's end. The sixteen/seven combination is represented by the Tower and the Chariot in the Tarot cards, which is about the all consuming fire of love that burns up everything that is contrary to our authentic nature through finding our stillness even as we are in motion. 

 

   All the planets appear to move forward from our vantage point on Earth except Chiron, Uranus, and Neptune which appear to move retrograde or in reverse motion. I've discussed in depth the implications of these planets moving retrograde in the past reports, so I'll just keynote each one. Retrograde Chiron has us reviewing our wounds so that they can be released, by having the courage to open our hearts to any fear or pain associated with our past. Retrograde Uranus in Aries is seeking to shake our very foundation to shock us to awaken and forces us to embrace our new way of living through reversals and unexpected events. Retrograde Neptune in Pisces is seeking transcendence through spiritual practices to keep us grounded as we expand our intuition and consciousness, while we are in the middle of four years of the unexpected rebellion of the individual (Uranus in Aries) challenging the decaying power structure (Pluto in Capricorn).

    Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. September 30th 2013 is 1 - Akbal "awk-bol" or Night: unity experienced through contemplating the stars, with the Leo Moon finding support from Uranus, and merging with Mars, with the emotional energy shifting from people having the impulse to engage in activities that make us feel more alive, to later experiencing irritable moods and critical communications. October 1st is 2 - Kan "con" or Seed or Lizard: duality experienced through planting seeds and making new connections, as Mercury trines Neptune which is interesting in the context of the upcoming Mercury retrograde because the point where Mercury is at a 120 degree angle to Neptune is very close to the point where Mercury will turn direct November 10th, so Mercury will also trine Neptune on November 9th and 11th. With both of these planets stopped as they prepare to move forward this will be a very powerful alignment in November. But let's get back to talking about October's trine between Mercury and Neptune, which stimulates creative imagination and brings a deeper sensitivity to the world around us. This energetic leads to daydreaming and would be well spent listening to music or reading or writing poetry or romantic literature. Conversations will also not revolve around the practical, but will be more suited to discussions of other worldly spiritual topics and our fantasies, hopes and dreams. Not great energy for accomplishing work, but wonderful for empathy and selfless compassion with the offer to help others without interest to gain ourselves. This is also very good energy for studying art, religion, music, poetry, spiritual, and occult subjects, as we are able to transcend the limitations of our normal rational thinking. Also on the first the Sun squares Pluto which begins a tense time period when the Sun activates the Cardinal Grand Cross with Pluto, Uranus, and Jupiter. These planets are pulling apart from exactitude but the Libra Sun dances with each one in the first two weeks of October. A square between the Sun and Pluto brings powerful forces that test us from within and without. These tests may lead us to make radical changes in some area of our life that is not working very well. This can be very beneficial for letting go of the old patterns or behaviors that come up for examination at this time. Holding on to what is not working will just make life more difficult. This transit also indicates that persons in authority may demand that we account for our actions or even ourselves. Some people will abuse the power they are wielding under this influence. Also this indicates a breakdown of situations and machinery. No matter what your experience something will make you aware that it needs fixing, and my advice is to fix it whether it's a machine, a relationship, a behavior, or pattern that no longer works, and on the 1st the Moon is challenged by Venus, opposed by Neptune, and in harmony with Mercury. The day moves from having pleasant energy to be with friends and loved ones, to later feeling sensitive emotionally but confused regarding the accuracy of what's being felt, along with lots of chatting with friends, neighbors, coworkers when interacting with Mercury. October 2nd is 3 - Chicchan "chee-chan" or Serpent: taking action through being flexible, we have the Virgo Moon finding support from Pluto and in harmony with Saturn which has us feeling on a deeper more intense level under the influence of Pluto and wanting to be alone in our thoughts and feelings while interacting with Saturn. The 3rd is 4 - Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation: stability through releasing what no longer serves us, with the Sun opposed Uranus which is the next alignment activating the Grand Cardinal Cross. This brings a day that is quite different from the norm. This could be experienced as restlessness in close relationships, through one or the other feeling impatient and unwilling to put up with something, which could lead to arguments. In business partnerships this may require a radical change due to some unexpected new information or situation. This will be a time of surprise or upset related to parts of yourself that have not received adequate expression in the past. This is a time to figure out what you want and figure out if it's practical later on. For those that do not find conscious expression of this energy, they may find they are more accident prone under this influence. Over all the winds of change are blowing us in the direction we are aware of due to Pluto's deeper perspective, as the Moon in Virgo harmonizes with Jupiter and Venus which shifts from good feelings and congenial social interactions, to later having pleasant energy to be with friends and loved ones. October 4th is 5 - Manik "man-eek" or Deer: empowerment through being of service to others, we have the Libra New Moon challenged by Pluto, opposed by Uranus, and merging with the Sun. Pluto square this New Moon can bring the compulsion to engage in activities that are not good for us in the long run, but it can also help us to look inside and find what we want in any situation, as long as we are honest with ourselves. Be cautious of power struggles as people will easily slip into the role of victim or perpetrator. Uranus opposing the lunation is another alignment to handle with care, because it triggers folks to leap to conclusions that are questionable, especially when our emotions are involved. This can be exciting and attract people who are different from our usual friends. Those new folks may even upset us, but for the purpose of exposing a need in our lives. It can also stir up stormy experiences in our relationships as people may interpret our interactions as wanting to pick a fight. This is a very edgy New Moon with strong energy for rebellion against any restriction that leads to something new. New moons are times of new beginnings and in Libra is about balance, partnership,  diplomacy, and ascetics. New Moons bring the opportunity to set an intension for manifestation on the following full moon. Look to the house of your astrology chart that contains 11 degrees 56 minutes Libra to consider what area of your life is being activated by this new moon. For me that would be my fifth house of children and creativity, so I would set an intension related to using this energy, such as creating art work or music that is ascetically pleasing. That would fulfill the Libra New Moon's desire for pleasantry and beauty through the fifth house's role of creation. The 5th is 6 - Lamat "la-maught" or Star: being in the flow through being grateful for abundant relationships, it brings the Moon in Libra challenged by Jupiter and stimulated by Mars, which shifts from feeling benevolent and generous to those in our immediate environment, to later desiring to work independently from others. October 6th is 7 - Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: reflection through appreciating creation, we have Mercury sextile Pluto with Mercury turning retrograde this is the first of these alignments, with the other two harmonies between Mercury and Pluto being November 1st and 20th. This energetic loves the mysterious and wants to know what cannot be known. Our minds are active in penetrating below the surface in a search for core knowledge and real knowledge in our search for truth. This is great energy for studying psychology, astrology, occult subjects, and healing techniques that are aimed at regeneration. Folks may be certain of their "truths" and engage in trying to convince others who are also certain of their personal truth, so this pairing might be better to focus on our own investigation and save persuading others for another day. Also on the 6th we have the Scorpio Moon finding support from Neptune, and merging with Mercury and Saturn. The day moves from fantasies and daydreams distracting us from accomplishing routine tasks, to later having positive energy for integrating our thoughts and moods, and finally wanting to be alone in our thoughts and feelings. The 7th is 8 - Oc "awk" or Dog: balance through enjoying family and friends, while Venus moves into Sagittarius which brings the spirit of adventure to our love affairs. First attractions may seem very romantic, but the happy wanderer is not sure about sacrificing freedom for the relationship. Anyway this is outgoing energy for social engagements, travel and spirited friendships, while the Moon in Scorpio is supported by Jupiter which brings a pleasant sense of wellbeing. October 8th is 9 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: patience experienced through creating something new, with Mercury merging with Saturn which is yet another Mercury alignment that is repeated three times due to its retrograde cycle, the other two being October 29th and November 25th. Mercury conjunct Saturn makes folks cautious. On the positive side we are more precise in our thinking, and detail oriented in our communication. If you previously outlined a general plan, this allows you to fill in the details. Critical thinking is very sharp and can see flaws in any argument including our own. This transit can be an obstacle for seeing the big picture. We can see the distinction of the different trees but not the forest. At worst this can create difficulty in communication, because we may be afraid to reveal something, so we say nothing due to negative thinking that often accompanies this transit. This is the time to speak up because what is not expressed can injure someone. Overall this requires discipline, and commitment to our ethics and values. While the Moon is challenged by Mars and Neptune and merges with Venus we begin the day with people being irritable and having needless disputes, to later feeling cheerful, warm, gregarious, and wanting to go out and socialize, then finally bringing our dreams into the day's vibration. The 9th is 10 - Eb "eb" or Road: manifestation through serving your community, with the Sagittarius Moon finding support from Uranus and in harmony with the Sun. The day's emotional energy begins with a desire for emotional excitement to engage in activities outside our daily routine, and later feelings of inner and outer equanimity. October 10th is 11 - Ben "ben" or Reed or Corn: resolution through maintaining the home, while Venus squares Neptune which is an alignment between planet octaves. Venus representing personal love and Neptune representing unconditional and universal love. The romantic imagination is active under this transit, which can lead to unrealistic expectations regarding loved ones. Please remember your partner is a mere mortal, by not holding them to an impossible romantic ideal that no one could or should try to attain. Relationships that are damaged by this transit are not usually based on reality. This is positive for daydreaming that leads to artistic expression, as the Moon finds support from Mars, and is in harmony with Neptune, which moves from feeling a little more confident than usual with the ability to assert ourselves in a positive manner, to later having a greater sensitivity to others' emotions with possible psychic impressions for those who are open. The 11th is 12 - Ix "eesh" or Jaguar: understanding through enjoying nature, with the Capricorn First Quarter Moon merging with Pluto, challenged by Uranus and the Sun, in harmony with Saturn and Mercury, and opposed by Jupiter. Which is very busy emotionally, beginning with having more intense moods rising to the surface from deep in our psyches, with folks acting hasty and jumping to conclusions that may not be correct, and realistic expectations through being calm and reflective, to later conversations are stimulated, and finally brings challenges to following a daily routine along with feelings of generosity. October 12th is 13 - Men "men" – Eagle: movement to the next stage through seeing from a higher perspective, as the Sun squares Jupiter which can be very useful for moving ahead with something you desire as long as you avoid excess and remain disciplined. Many will feel the urge to take on more than they can handle or have the resources to accomplish. Being overly optimistic and exuberant, we need to be careful of being extravagant, so this is best approached with restraint. This can also create difficulties with others, because many will express its influence as arrogant self righteousness. Since you're aware of this possibility you might want to approach those folks by looking for common ground and compassion for their point of view, with the Moon in Capricorn making no angles and void of course until moving into Aquarius, which does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences.

    So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Night trecena, take some time to be in the flow of the planet by being in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being conscious of the moment through introspection, meditation or being with someone you love. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

September 17th to September 29th 2013


This is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of September 17th 2013 for 1 - Oc "awk" or Dog in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, also the Pisces Full Moon, Pluto turning direct, and Mercury moving into Scorpio.

     September 17th is 1 - Oc "awk" or Dog which carries the themes of loyalty, playfulness, sensuality, team work, protection, generosity, warm-heartedness, guidance, commitment, justice, fidelity, consistency, family and friends, and the faithful companion during times of darkness. William and Viola of tzolkincalendar.com write "The Yucatec Mayan name for this sign literally means door, portal or gateway and symbolizes the journey we all make from one world to the other, not only in death but also as we transform inwardly and rebirth ourselves. Thus Dog, as our Underworld companion and guide through darkness, represents faith and loyalty surviving even after death." I found that dogs seem to be associated with the afterlife across cultures where the dead were buried. I think that might be because they were scavengers who would dig up graves and when they consumed the corpse they were considered to ingest the soul as well as the flesh of the dead. Anubis was the jackal-headed god of the afterlife in ancient Greece, also portrayed as a black dog. The Greeks and Romans associated Anubis with star Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, known in most mythologies throughout the world as the 'Dog Star'. Cerberus is the three-headed dog who guards the gates of Hades by allowing people to enter but not leave. The three heads may represent the past, present and future, or youth, adulthood, and old age. In ancient Irish mythology references to dogs are numerous which means they were an important symbol to Celts. The dogs were also magical and could heal people by licking their wounds. In Norse mythology the world of the dead is overseen by a monstrous dog, named Garm. In Hinduism and Buddhism there are two dogs, with four eyes each, which accompany Yama, the lord of the dead. They served Yama by looking out for those who are about to die. In Aztec mythology, the departed soul descends to the underworld after death and comes to a river guarded by a yellow dog. Guardian hounds occur widely in shamanic Otherworldly lore. Archaeological evidence and mythology has recurring examples of dogs in the role of 'psycopomps', the guides on the paths to the Otherworld, which is the role they play in Mayan mythology as guides who bare torches to assist humans in their descent into the dark underworld. This Dog trecena or 13 day period is a great time to use faith and courage to illuminate any dark areas in our lives and share our warmhearted guidance to assist others through the door that leads to the light. I love the synchronicity of the Dog trecena, when our most important astrological discussion will be about Pluto.

 

    I've included the Human Design transits for the trecena, along with the astrology and Tzolkin day signs. I'll quickly review some of that information before discussing the Neutrino Forecast for the current 1 - Dog 13 day period. We start by looking at the position of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Planets, and Nodes as we would in astrology, except instead of relating them to the Zodialogical constellations and each other, we look at them in relation to the hexagrams of the I'Ching, which are then mapped to specific locations in the body graph. For instance at the beginning of this trecena we have the Sun in Virgo also in the 6th hexagram. The shapes inside the body graph are called centers and represent the next stage in our evolution as humans from having seven chakras to having nine centers. The pathways between the centers are called channels and are from the Kabala. The Sun in the 6th hexagram is mapped to an opening in an energy channel called a gate, and which is the 6th gate of "friction", located on the left side of the solar plexus in a defensive tribal energy path called the "Channel of Mating". I have found HD to be amazingly accurate and my primary tool when I provide readings. The black strips of paper in this diagram represent the gates activated by the Sun, Planets, and Nodes regardless if they form a channel. So we have the following hanging gates or potentials at the beginning of this 1 - Dog trecena; the Sun in the 6, the Earth in the 36, the North node in the 44 and South Node in the 24, Mercury in the 48, Venus in the 28, Mars in the 33, Jupiter in the 53, Saturn in the 44, Uranus in the 21, Neptune in the 55, and Pluto in the 58. Obviously not every gate activation forms a channel, but this information can be very helpful if you know your own Human Design chart, because some of these transits will form channels with potentials in your personal body graph. You can get your HD chart by going to jovianarchive.com, clicking on the button that says "Get your free Rave Chart", and entering your birth information. I'm not going to follow the moon with this demonstration, because it moves so fast that it activates three to four gates a day.

On the 26th the Sun moves into the 18 and with Pluto in the 58, we have the Channel of Judgment which is the design of Insatiability, which will be with us until October 2nd, bringing us the pressure to offer constructive criticism. This conditioning force works best if it is invited and its purpose is not personal but for the good of the collective. This can influence us to become perfectionists with an insatiability to make improvements. Unfortunately most people will not be aware of this influence and how best to apply it to their lives, so we'll see a lot of folks meeting resistance as they try to change their family and friends with little success, which leads to a sense of dissatisfaction, after all true perfection does not exist, only ascending levels of mastery.

    Before I get into the daily energy of the Oc "awk" or Dog trecena, All the planets appear to move forward from our vantage point on Earth except Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto which appear to move retrograde or in reverse motion. I've discussed in depth the implications of these planets moving retrograde in the past reports, so I'll just keynote each one. Retrograde Chiron has us reviewing our wounds so that they can be released, by having the courage to open our hearts to any fear or pain associated with our past. Retrograde Uranus in Aries is seeking to shake our very foundation to shock us to awaken and forces us to embrace our new way of living through reversals and unexpected events. Retrograde Neptune in Pisces is seeking transcendence through spiritual practices to keep us grounded as we expand our intuition and consciousness, while we are in the middle of four years of the unexpected rebellion of the individual (Uranus in Aries) challenging the decaying power structure (Pluto in Capricorn). With Pluto, the planet of transformation through a death and rebirth cycle, moving retrograde, which is about reviewing the past, and will require releasing anything from the past that is a burden to our new path.

    The big change in the Dog trecena is Pluto changing directions, as it moves from retrograde to direct on September 20th. Pluto, the planet of transformation through a death and rebirth cycle, has been retrograde since April, which is about reviewing the past, and required releasing anything from the past that is a burden to our new path. Pluto will take our baggage regardless of our attachment, if it doesn't have a purpose in our rebirth. What I find interesting about the astrology of September is Pluto in Capricorn slows to a stop and begins its forward or direct motion on the 20th. Planets are said to be at the peak of their power when they are stopped. Pluto rules power and the misuse of power. So I expect issues regarding the misuse of power will become more public after Pluto is moving direct. U.S. President Obama has certainly been dancing around use and probable misuse of power regarding drone attacks worldwide, and military action in Syria. Hard to imagine that he was given the Nobel Peace Prize, I think they should have it returned because Obama has done nothing to further peace, if anything he's done the opposite.

    Pluto moved into Capricorn in 2008 which was the point when the overly optimistic investments of Pluto in Sagittarius started to crash. Pluto in Capricorn is determined in exposing the darkness, destroying the old order, so that we can rise up like the Phoenix from the ashes to soar again. Pluto will be in Capricorn until 2024, and early in its transit through a sign there is a breakdown phase, where something that no longer serves us is dismantled to create space for something new. Capricorn is about large structures which includes banks, governments, corporations, and religions. This is a time of a cosmic course correction for the entire planet. We cannot continue to harm Mother Earth for the economic gain of a few. Pluto is about power and empowerment which I believe is about our spiritual evolution from being conditioned to live in fear of not getting our needs met, like too many rats in a maze, to realizing there is enough for all, we don't need to fight each other. We have been sold, and at a high price I might add, the concept of "manufactured lack." It is the resistance to Pluto's lesson of letting go of the past, that brings tragedy and pain. Capricorn is about building and achievement and as an earth sign it's rooted in the material world. The goat climbing the highest mountains is its symbol. Pluto rules the underworld so look for events from underground such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and giant sink holes, and events involving tunnels or subways, and infrastructures in general, but also battles for underground resources, such as oil and fracking. Here in Maine we are battling the Nestle corporation as their subsidiary Poland Springs is taking legal action against the locals over water rights, as they drain the aquifer for profit, while people's wells are going dry. Capricorn is also about the elderly and in the U.S. we have a political battle over social security, which was paid for by people's payroll deductions and has nothing to do with the national debt, but because our government borrowed from social security and has no way to pay it back, they want to dismantle this life line for our seniors.

     Pluto was last in Capricorn from 1762 to 1778 where it transformed political and economic structures all over the world, from the end of the Seven Years War when France ceded Canada to Britain, to political unrest in Europe and her Colonies which brought changes to many nations. Catherine the Great came to power after the murder of her husband and went to war with the Ottoman Empire which yielded Russian control of Turkish territories. Poland was divided into three sections owned by Austria, Prussia, and Russia. British Parliament passed the Stamp Act to pay for the cost to quell the Colonial rebellion which than escalated into the American Revolution. That sounds familiar, increasing taxes to maintain control of an oppressed population, resulting in the overthrow of the oppressor. It couldn't happen again... or could it with Pluto in Capricorn. I'm thinking about current events related to the previous Pluto cycles during the first American Revolution the colonists were against "Taxation without representation", but isn't that what we have now in the USA? Our elected officials do not represent their constituents and are rather in the pockets of multinational corporations. Our president is prepared to use our tax dollars to go to war with Syria based on made up information regarding who used chemical weapons. The Syrian government was winning its conflict with the rebels, so they had no reason to use chemical weapons and invite the international community to intervene. This certainly seems like the US government is packaging a story to try to make going to war seem legitimate. Remember the WMD in Iraq?

   The parallels between Britain during the previous Pluto in Capricorn from 1762 to 1778 and the United States currently are significant. Britain was deeply in debt after the Seven Years War, which occurred while Pluto was in Sagittarius. They had colonized many countries and needed revenue from their subjects, both at home and aboard. The British Empire was spread thin to maintain their global territory. One of the sources of income from outside of England came from the East India Trading Company, which is remembered for trading in tea, although their main commodity was opium, which was grown in India, using forced labor, and sold to China. The ships then return to England with China black tea for the wealthy. The British Government publically condemned the trade of opium, but secretly supported the practice because of the revenue it produced. The East India Company also provided ships for the slave trade. The parallels between Britain during the last Pluto in Capricorn period and the United States during this time of Pluto in Capricorn are uncanny. Both nations increased the lands under their charge through wars that had plunged them into debt. They then seek to recover their lost fortune through unfair and oppressive actions, allowing companies to be become so large they can run other countries, as the East India Company ran India during that time period. Eventually this leads to the oppressed masses saying "enough is enough", which led to the American Revolution last time.

    The previous Pluto in Capricorn time period was 1516 to 1533 which was the time period when exploration of the New World yielded the colonies, but also the anti-Catholic movement with Martin Luther nailing his thesis to the church door in 1517. So this could also bring forward more of the misuses of power by the Catholic church.

   This time of Pluto at the peak of power, has it moving aggressively towards its fourth of seven challenging squares to Uranus in Aries, which will be exact on November 1st at 9 degrees, followed by the Heliocentric square November 23rd. These challenging angles between Uranus, the planet of disruption, revolution and unexpected change in Aries, the sign of the individual, challenging Pluto the planet of death and destruction but also rebirth, in the sign of Capricorn representing structures including governments and corporations, is the most powerful transit of our time. These two titans have exact confrontations an amazing seven times between 2012 and 2015. Usually this type of transit occurs three or five times. Seven times is unusual and very intense. The world will be a very different place by the end of 2015. The day following Pluto moving direct it will engage in its third and final sextile with Saturn. The themes of Saturn in Scorpio are loss, depression, failure, fear, the shadow, betrayal, the stuff that goes deep. Superficial just won't cut it with Saturn in Scorpio. What we decide now will have a lasting effect. For me following my strategy and authority from my Human Design chart has been an amazing tool in making any decision during this time of uncertainty, where the consequences of choice will effect years to come.

    Also with Saturn in Pluto's sign of Scorpio and Pluto in Saturn's sign of Capricorn, we have mutual reception between the two planets. Mutual reception means that Pluto and Saturn are strengthening and supporting each other while Saturn remains in Scorpio. That's the next three years. When I think of Saturn and Pluto teaming up the words "karmic judgment" come to mind. When these planets are at a sixty degree harmonic sextile will be the peak of this experience, which means that this will be a strong force in the Equinox chart and influence the entire upcoming season, where we reap what we've sown during this time of harvest.

    Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. September 17th 2013 is 1 - Oc "awk" or Dog: unity experienced through enjoying family and friends, as Mercury sextiles Mars which brings a busy day with folks having more energy than usual for their own projects. This is a day where working for someone else's benefit does not inspire diligence but more likely resentment. If you can use the day to work on what's of interest to you, it will seem like a good use of all this energy. Since others are feeling the same way, plan on working independently of others. There is energy for convincing others of your point of view, but they also have the energy to convince you of their perspective. This might be a day to avoid people and conversations that could lead to arguments, because this has a competitive edge to it. We can be confident in our ideas and beliefs to initiate something that should be successful as long as we don't need others to bring it to fruition, with the Pisces Moon merging with Neptune and supported by Venus. The day moves from feelings of empathy for those around us, including the possibility of clairvoyance and telepathic experiences for those of us who are sensitive by nature, to enjoying pleasant feelings and social interactions. The 18th is 2 - Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: duality experienced through creating something new, Venus conjuncts Saturn in Scorpio on the North Node and sextiles Pluto in Capricorn bringing an atmosphere of passion, intensity, and expression with less filtering, be careful not to say things you will regret later. Specifically Venus merging with Saturn, love and affection are tempered by practical considerations. This can have a sobering view point regarding relationships. Folks may seek the advice of older people (Saturn and Capricorn) regarding relationships (Venus). Saturn is also limitation so this may be a time of parting temporarily or breaking up. Relationships that begin under this influence are long lasting and loyal, but not particularly exciting. Venus in harmony with Pluto combines love and death, so this could be a time where we hear from an ex-lover or have the desire to contact a partner from our past. This transit deepens our emotions and brings more focus on our friendships. It also intensifies love relationships and can take sexual experiences to a whole new level. A new relationship may feel "fated" but that could be an illusion that accompanies this transit, and the Moon in Pisces finds support from Saturn and Jupiter, and harmonizes with Pluto. The day moves from having a sober realistic view of life, while experiencing deep emotions on a profound level, and later people having a pleasant sense of wellbeing. September 19th is 3 - Eb "eb" or Road: taking action through serving your community, we have the Pisces Full moon as a more gentle full moon, although there are some very powerful planetary alignments on the days surrounding this lunation. Pisces represents the surrender to spirit in the emotional realm to be balanced with the practical aspects of living in the physical world. This is the harvest moon which leads to simplicity and attunement to what really matters. Are you happy with the results you have sown over the past six months? Mercury squares Jupiter on the 19th which usually brings feelings of optimism and positive perspective regarding life. People are inclined to set long range plans and goals for the future, from a place of seeing the big picture. This is also favorable for business deals and commercial transactions. If you are unaware of this transit you could overlook details that are important to the creation of your overall grand vision. Also be careful about communicating to others in a way that may be seen as arrogant or self righteous in tone. Awareness is key to working with this energy. Don't let this much optimism lead to sloppiness and overlooking important details, the Sun in Virgo during this full moon will help keep this grounded. The 20th is 4 - Ben "ben" or Reed or Corn: stability through maintaining the home, as Pluto turns direct which slowly shifts the energy of the planet of death, rebirth and transformation from our inner experience during the retrograde period, to the outer world as it continues to destroy the decaying Capricorn structures of government, big business, and big religion. This has Pluto moving towards its next confrontation with Uranus on November 1st for their 4th of 7 squares, which will be a dramatic time as the resistance of the old forms continues to collapse in its conflict with those seeking individual liberty. Pluto is affecting many of us as it changes directions at 9 degrees of Capricorn, which is a time of increasing intensity and force, when superficiality will not be enough. This will be particularly intense for people with personal planets at 9 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn.  Pluto is at the peak of its power, due to its lack of movement as it changes directions with the mutual reception of Saturn in Pluto's sign Scorpio and Pluto in Saturn's sign Capricorn on the following day for its third and final installment of karmic judgment. This can be destructive energy that needs to fulfill its purpose as transformation. It's really best to hold lightly and let go if needed. Surrender that which has out lived its purpose, as the Aries Moon challenged by Pluto and Jupiter, merges with Uranus, finding support from Mars, and opposing Mercury. Which begins the day with people having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in the long run, then feeling impulsive and acting rashly, with moods changing quickly and unexpectedly, to later bringing the energy for asserting ourselves in a positive manner and standing our ground if necessary, which shifts to benevolent and generous feelings for those in our immediate environment, and wraps up with some feeling a real conflict between feelings and reason and others having fruitful expressions of their deeper awareness either internally or with another. September 21st is 5 - Ix "eesh" or Jaguar: empowerment through enjoying nature, as Saturn sextile Pluto brings the final harmony of these planets in mutual reception. They work as a team under this alignment of being in each other's signs. We reap what we've sown during the middle of September. This alignment is very strong in the equinox chart on the following day, so this will be a theme until the solstice in December, with the Moon in Aries making no angles and void of course until moving into Taurus, which does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences. The 22nd is 6 - Men "men" – Eagle: being in the flow through seeing from a higher perspective, brings the Equinox, beginning Autumn in the North and Spring in the South, as the Sun moves into Libra which is the sign of the Sun's fall which means that it is debilitated in the sign of the scales. It is positive for expressing the attributes of Venus and Saturn, but challenged for integrating the process of individuation which is the energetic of the Sun and Mars. Equinox and solstices astrology charts give us insight to the coming season and this one with the Saturn Pluto sextile in tight aspect, we are looking at the time period leading up to the Solstice on 12/21/13. North of the Equator it is time to review the intentions we planted during the Spring Equinox. South of the Equator this is time to plant new intentions for the upcoming year. Those of you in the southern hemisphere might want to view the 1 – Lamat or Star "Care and feeding of a New World Age" from March 19th 2013 for instructions regarding a Spring Equinox ritual for manifesting intensions over the four seasons. As I've said before the Saturn Pluto mutual reception and sextile is very strong to the Equinox chart, being exact the day before. But the quality of "Karmic Judgment" is made even stronger because Saturn is conjunct Venus and the North Node opposing the Moon conjunct the South Node. The Nodes are about karma and the karma of this configuration is about limitations (Saturn) related to what we value (Venus) pulling us to move into future (North Node) while the Moon in Taurus (emotions connected to materialism) are anchoring us into the past (South Node) and of course Pluto sextiles the Scorpio end of this axis and trines the Taurus Moon and South Node. The tension of the spiritual material duality has huge transformational possibilities. Chiron, the wounded healer, is in Pisces sextiling the Moon and trining Venus and Saturn, which reveals that the next three months will bring new wounds and new healing. Mars squares Saturn and Venus, which is challenged for moving forward with aggressive actions. This is not a favorable time to begin a war that you intend to win. Mercury square Jupiter may bring over exuberance in thinking without considering the details. Perfect for playing mind games on the populace. I could see the government trying to "pull the wool over our eyes" with grandiose promises, to enter a war which the global elite knows will not be successful, but will sell huge amounts of weapons and line the pockets of the military industrial complex corporations. On the 22nd the Taurus Moon is in harmony with Neptune, supported by Pluto, and opposed by Saturn and Venus, which moves from being very sensitive to the moods of others, to later bringing out intense emotions and stimulating sensitivity, which also favors sexual relationships, while also feeling lonely and isolated and finally pleasant energy for enjoying sensual experiences and rich food with a caution against overindulgence. September 23rd is 7 - Cib "keeb" or Wisdom: reflection through introspection, meditation and forgiveness, with the Moon in Taurus challenged by Mars, and in harmony with Jupiter very early in the day and turns void of course at 3:13 am EDT. The day's energy begins with people feeling irritable which could lead to needless disputes, then shifts to feeling in the flow and having a sense of wholeness, then enters its phase where you may want to avoid major decisions and purchases. The 24th is 8 - Caban "kah-ban" or Earth: balance through gratitude for Mother Earth, while the Gemini Moon is supported by the Sun, and challenged by Neptune. The day moves from having a sense of inner harmony which is mirrored in the outside world, to daydreams and fantasies feeling more important than reality. September 25th is 9 - Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint: patience experienced through being introspective, as the Moon in Gemini is stimulated by Uranus and Mars which shifts from pleasant yet restless energy that desires emotional excitement, to later bringing the desire to work independently from others. The 26th is 10 - Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm: manifestation through recognizing the gifts in adversity, with Venus trine Jupiter which is one of the best transits except for its short duration, as it brings ease, grace, and pleasant social interactions. As with any Jupiter Venus transit, this can bring laziness and self indulgent behavior. Most will experience this as a needed break from the "daily grind." This is great energy for social interactions, entertainment, and amusements. Romance and financial interests are favored under this transit, along with traveling or taking a vacation that begins at this time as it indicates that the journey will be fun, enlightening, and rewarding. Due to the low energy of this transit, this is not the best time to start any enterprise that requires a great deal of energy, with the Last Quarter Moon supported by Mercury and Neptune and challenged by Sun, which moves from feeling in touch with our emotions and expressing them to others, then our innermost subconscious fantasies and daydreams confusing reality, which may not be great for accomplishing much work, and finally we encounter challenges to our daily routines. September 27th is 11 - Ahau "ah-how" or Sun: resolution through honoring the wisdom and memory of our ancestors, as the Cancer Moon is opposed by Pluto, finding support from Saturn, and challenged by Uranus, which brings deep emotions rising to the surface, while we then settle into a more sober and realistic view of life, and later people are likely to act hasty and jump to conclusions. The 28th is 12 - Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile: understanding through nurturing new beginnings, as Venus squares Mars which arouses interest in the opposite sex and favors the physical expressions of relationships, particularly sexual experiences. If there are hidden tensions in a relationship this transit may bring discord. If the relationship is healthy this is not likely to be difficult. It really can divide relationships into two categories depending on the strength of the coupling, those whose love is the most powerful aspect between lovers will be able to enjoy this time in any way they choose, but for relationships built on shaky grounds this would indicate arguments as the ego nature of the pair is tested. Not the best day to start a relationship since its likely to be based only on physical attraction, with the Moon in Cancer merging with Jupiter and supported by Venus, brings a day with good feelings and generosity towards others, and enjoying social interactions with others. September 29th is 13 - Ik "eek" or Wind: movement to the next stage through communication, as Mercury moves into Scorpio which, due to turning retrograde, will spend almost 10 weeks in the sign of the scorpion, bringing even more focus on the element of water during the Chinese year of the Water Snake. Mercury in Scorpio is very similar to the energetic of the Water Snake which is a thinking energy that reveals what is hidden and does not settle for mediocrity. Mercury in Scorpio brings a questioning and probing intellect, that seeks out what is beneath the surface, and puts an emphasis on fields like medicine, science, religion, and the occult. So under this influence folks may feel a greater need to investigate and uncover what previously could not be known. September ends and we move into October seeking greater depth both in our understanding of the outer world, but also in our discovery of inner realms through our experience of our soul's high adventure by being both an observer and participant in life, with the Moon challenged by Mercury and Saturn, and harmonizing with the Sun, which moves from folks being critical in their communications particularly with the people they have intimate relationships with, to feeling balance between our inner and outer worlds, and finally to people feeling lonely or isolated.

    So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Dog trecena, take some time to be in the flow of the planet by being in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being conscious of the moment through introspection, meditation or being with someone you love. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

September 4th to September 16th 2013


This is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of September 4th 2013 for 1 - Caban "kah-ban" or Earth in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, also the Virgo New Moon, Mercury moving into Libra, and Venus moving into Scorpio.

     September 4th is 1 - Caban "kah-ban" or Earth which carries the themes of natural rhythms, synchronizing the heart with Mother Earth, inspiration, the powers of creation, earthquakes, ancient wisdom, and flowing with the natural order. The Maya believed that the same energy that is the soul of the heart also resides in the Earth. The day symbol for earth also represents the interconnectedness of our emotions and the Earth’s emotions. Ian Lungold wrote “Sometimes Earth’s delicate sensitivities are upset resulting in quakes of emotion even the display of volcanic temper.” Neurophysicists have discovered that our hearts radiate the body’s strongest electromagnetic frequency in a torus field. This field is holographic and arcs out and returns along the axis of the heart and extends from the pelvic floor to the crown of the head. The Earth is also the center of a holographic electromagnetic torus field, as is the solar system and the galaxy. It's interesting to note that because of their holographic nature, there is the belief that there is only one universal torus field, which means our hearts are connected to the Earth, the solar system, the galaxy, and ultimately the universe. It’s fractal, where we don’t have a part, but the whole represented in each of us. These thirteen days are best used to change our patterns to be more heart centered and in balance with our Earth Mother.

    I've included the Human Design transits for the trecena, along with the astrology and Tzolkin day signs. I'll quickly review some of that information before discussing the Neutrino Forecast for the current 1 - Earth 13 day period. We start by looking at the position of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Planets, and Nodes as we would in astrology, except instead of relating them to the Zodialogical constellations and each other, we look at them in relation to the hexagrams of the I'Ching, which are then mapped to specific locations in the body graph. For instance at the beginning of this trecena we have the Sun in Virgo also in the 64th hexagram. The shapes inside the body graph are called centers and represent the next stage in our evolution as humans from having seven chakras to having nine centers. The pathways between the centers are called channels and are from the Kabala. The Sun in the 64th hexagram is mapped to an opening in an energy channel called a gate, and which is the 64th gate of "confusion", located on the lower left side of the head center in an abstract collective energy path called the "Channel of Abstraction". I have found HD to be amazingly accurate and my primary tool when I provide readings. The black strips of paper in this diagram represent the gates activated by the Sun, Planets, and Nodes regardless if they form a channel. So we have the following hanging gates or potentials at the beginning of this 1 - Earth trecena; the Earth in the 63, the North node in the 44 and South Node in the 24, Venus in the 32, Mars in the 31, Saturn in the 28, Uranus in the 21 and Pluto in the 58. Obviously not every gate activation forms a channel, but this information can be very helpful if you know your own Human Design chart, because some of these transits will form channels with potentials in your personal body graph. You can get your HD chart by going to jovianarchive.com, clicking on the button that says "Get your free Rave Chart", and entering your birth information. I'm not going to follow the moon with this demonstration, because it moves so fast that it activates three to four gates a day.

    On 1 - Caban "kah-ban" or Earth, we have two channels defined, with Jupiter in the 39 connecting with Neptune in the 55 which brings the Channel of Emoting, until September 7th, which will be a time period when people feel pressure in the form of an emotional wave. The best way to deal with this level of sensitivity is to appreciate the lows as well as the highs. Recognizing that it is all part of our human experience and is temporary for those of us who don't have this channel in our birth charts. This can bring lessons that yield wisdom as long as we can stay present in moving from hope to despair and back to hope in this cycle. We can tap into great creativity by fueling our melancholy or feeling "blue" into some form of artistic expression. This brings deeply romantic and acoustic sensitivity so listening to music or talking with a loved one is favored.

We also have the Sun in the 64 and Mercury in the 47 giving us the Channel of Abstraction. The energy of this channel is about creating something new out of something old. This is about abstract thought being brought into the collective consciousness through the arts, philosophy, history and culture. This is wonderful energy for telling stories about our experiences that inspire others, but brings confusion when used to resolve our own issues.

On the 11th Mercury moves into the 18 and with Pluto in the 58, we have the Channel of Judgment which is the design of Insatiability, which will be with us until the 15th, bringing us the pressure to offer constructive criticism. This conditioning force works best if it is invited and its purpose is not personal but for the good of the collective. This can influence us to become perfectionists with an insatiability to make improvements. Unfortunately most people will not be aware of this influence and how best to apply it to their lives, so we'll see a lot of folks meeting resistance as they try to change their family and friends with little success, which leads to a sense of dissatisfaction, after all true perfection does not exist, only ascending levels of mastery.

    Before I get into the daily energy of the Caban "kah-ban" or Earth trecena, there have been so many "false flag" spiritual posts as of late, that they lead me to consider their greater purpose. The most recent that I'm aware of was the second "grand sextile" that was to occur on August 25th at 23:11 EET Cairo Egypt. If you're interested in my opinion of the previous "grand sextile" listen to the podcast of the August 1st Earth Needs Rebels radio show or view the July 27th One Flint New World Birth video, subtitled the "July 29th Hoaxagram". First of all these offerings are just bad astrology. With significant points in the chart being anchored by asteroids and the moon, which moves in and out of orb too quickly to create any long lasting effect, such as the predictions perpetrated by these hyped stories, posts, and videos. I have taken great issue with them in the past because I believe their true purpose is to undermine people's trust of the systems they represent. It's no wonder that people view astrology, the Mayan calendar, and other ancient systems of understanding reality, with such distain and disbelief. These false flag offerings are poison. In this most recent one the text states in all caps "MAKE THIS VIRAL" followed by in mixed case "Peace Portal Activation August 25 2013". This illustrates my point, this offering is first and foremost about spreading a virus. And of course there was no peace portal on August 25th so this offering, that was viewed by so many, undermines a belief system. That is its point. The global elite uses astrology, We can see that in the fact that the last two wars the United States instigated began on the Spring Equinox. So passing on these false flag hyped astrology predictions, is contributing to the spiritual damage of those we care most about.

   But that is not a new realization for those who have been following New World Birth for any amount of time. I realized that the other reason I have a repulsion to these type of posts, along with anything where the implication is that you can ignore what's really happening and just meditate on a better world, is that their secondary purpose is the homogenization of humanity. With Uranus currently in Aries, this type of message could not be further from the truth. This is the time where individuals take revolutionary action and through their courage, they empower others to respond to life as their authentic selves. I feel like the constant bombardment of false flag hyped predictions that are very popular on YouTube, Facebook, Before Its News... the list goes on, serve to keep us asleep in our own personal Matrix. Think of that scene of Neo and Morpheus in the construct when Morpheus says "The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around. What do you see. Business men, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it. Were you listening to me Neo, or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?" The false "red dress" flag information that is being propagated, is part of the system of control. Very insidious because it's masked as a liberating force. I believe that "if it's viral... it's a virus."

   Of course that begs the question what makes my reports any different? First I have studied these systems in depth, and engage in exacting research using reputable sources to gather the information I present. Secondly my focus, particularly in readings, is on the individual person. I use Human Design to describe the person getting the reading, along with informing them about how to use their individual strategy and authority in making life decisions from their own personal design. But then I use astrology to describe the environment that person is navigating. In a play or a movie the character's description would be the Human Design reading, and the scenes of the movie or play would be the astrology reading. So when you experience these reports either on a YouTube video, a radio show, or as text on Facebook, Before Its News, or Blogspot, the information is being shared to inform you of the energetic environment, so that you can be cautious of some forces and take advantage of others, if you choose to. If you know the music, you can choose to dance or not. Basically we need to stop looking for the date or alignment that will bring the changes we hope for. It's simple, the alignment is with your true authentic self and the date is now!

    All the planets appear to move forward from our vantage point on Earth except Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto which appear to move retrograde or in reverse motion. As I've said before planets don't really move in reverse in their orbits, but appear to move backward much like being in a car passing a slower moving car. There is a point where the slower moving car appears to be moving in reverse when compared to landmarks in the far distance. Chiron retrograde in Pisces is about releasing stuck emotional energy, so that we can return to the natural flow of life. Retrograde Chiron has us reviewing our wounds so that they can be released, by having the courage to open our hearts to any fear or pain associated with our past. When Chiron is in Pisces people are willing to sacrifice their individual pain in hopes of finding bliss in Universal consciousness. At its worst this can manifest as folks justifying their victimhood as some form of martyrdom. This should be transcendence and surrender without losing ourselves in the experience. The retrograde aspect brings a longing for lost loves and the memories of our losses, encouraging us to return to look at our core wounds and bring them to the surface so they can be healed. Retrograde Uranus in Aries is seeking to shake our very foundation through the unexpected rebellion of the individual. This can shock us to awaken and forces us to embrace our new way of living through reversals and unexpected events. It is best to embrace the changes when they occur, because they are removing the obstacles to our new direction. This is about unplanned experiences that disrupt our perceived and planned life path in order to move us forward in our spiritual evolution, individually and globally. Retrograde Neptune in Pisces is seeking transcendence through spiritual experiences. This will be a time to use spiritual practices to keep us grounded as we expand our intuition and consciousness. This will be important energy to nurture as we are in the middle of four years of the unexpected rebellion of the individual (Uranus in Aries) challenging the decaying power structure (Pluto in Capricorn). This will be a difficult time of upheaval, destruction, death, unexpected change, natural disasters, violence and war, so finding our own peace in our connection to spirit will be an important quality to cultivate now for the tumultuous road we are traversing. Neptune pushes us to transcend the physical world to connect with our higher purpose and spiritual transformation, but also encourages escapism as some will seek unconsciousness while others to awaken. With Pluto, the planet of transformation through a death and rebirth cycle, moving retrograde, which is about reviewing the past, and will require releasing anything from the past that is a burden to our new path. Pluto will take our baggage regardless of our attachment, if it doesn't have a purpose in our rebirth. Pluto represents death, completion, and in Capricorn, the breakdown of structures, to bring about transformation. Pluto is at the peak of power all month as it slows down to turn direct on September 20th. I'll go into more depth regarding Pluto in the 1 Dog report for September 17th.

    Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena. September 4th 2013 is 1 - Caban "kah-ban" or Earth: unity experienced through gratitude for Mother Earth, with the Virgo Moon opposed by Neptune, in harmony with Saturn, and finding support from Pluto, which has the day's emotional energy moving from feeling sensitive emotionally but confused regarding the accuracy of what's being felt, to wanting to be alone in our thoughts and feelings, and finally feeling on a deeper more intense level under the influence of Pluto. The 5th is 2 - Etznab "etz-nob" or Flint: duality experienced through being introspective, and the Virgo New Moon in harmony with Jupiter, opposing Chiron, and merging with the Sun. This brings energy to get organized as Summer is finishing up in the Northern Hemisphere and Winter in the south. This energetic is about health, work and service. With this lunation sextile Jupiter, the day brings good feelings and congenial social interactions. In opposition to Chiron, criticism will feel more wounding, so we may want to hold off a day or so if you feel the need to correct someone. New moons are times of new beginnings and in Virgo is about discernment, organization, and discrimination. New Moons bring the opportunity to set an intension for manifestation on the following full moon. Look to the house of your astrology chart that contains 13 degrees Virgo to consider what area of your life is being activated by this new moon. For me that would be my fourth house of the home and inner world, so I would set an intension related to using this energy, such cleaning or doing home repairs or some type of inner work on myself on that day. That would fulfill the Virgo New Moon's desire for organization and refinement through the fourth house's role of inner world and the home. September 6th is 3 - Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm: taking action through recognizing the gifts in adversity, with the Moon in Virgo conjunct Mercury which is positive energy for integrating our thoughts and moods. The 7th is 4 - Ahau "ah-how" or Sun: stability through honoring the wisdom and memory of our ancestors, as the Sun sextiles Jupiter which is very positive for almost any activity. It brings a positive frame of mind that can be applied toward success. Great energy to be with friends or work harmoniously in group situations. With Jupiter involved it is easier to see the big picture. This also helps in relationships with people in authority as there is a desire to be "at one" with the sources of universal energy, and on the most mundane level that includes the desire to get along with those in power, as the Libra Moon is stimulated by Mars, challenged by Pluto and Jupiter, and opposed by Uranus, which activates a very challenging grand cross. Emotionally the energy moves from desiring to work independently from others, to having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in the long run, later folks are emotionally excitable and impulsive, and finally shifts to feeling benevolent and generous to those in our immediate environment. September 8th is 5 - Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile: empowerment through nurturing new beginnings, with the Moon in Libra merging with Venus which feels cheerful, warm, gregarious, and wanting to go out and socialize. The 9th is 6 - Ik "eek" or Wind: being in the flow through communication, as Mercury moves into Libra which will be a very short stay as it moves into Scorpio at the end the month. In Libra Mercury is about rational balanced thinking and communication. People will be more inclined to make decisions by listening to the pros and cons. Sometimes this weighting of options turns into indecision. Mercury is social in Libra and does not wish to stir up controversy, so I'd expect to have more friendly and possibly sympathetic conversations with others over the next 20 days. Also on the 9th Mars squares Saturn which is best approached slowly and with caution. Carelessness under this transit leaves little hope of success, and indicates a very frustrating and potentially irritating time. This transit will affect us for a few days before and after the 9th as frustration when we push too hard, are stressed with not enough time to get everything done, or act aggressively. Saturn is "Stop" and Mars is "Go" and a square is conflicted. This can seem discouraging but is temporary. While the Scorpio Moon finds support from Neptune, merges with Saturn, is challenged by Mars, and in harmony with Pluto. The day moves from fantasies and daydreams distracting us from accomplishing routine tasks, to wanting to be alone in our thoughts and feelings with the potential for people to be irritable and have needless disputes, and finally having deep emotions finding their way to the surface and felt on a profound level. September 10th is 7 - Akbal "awk-bol" or Night: reflection through contemplating the stars, with the Moon in Scorpio supported by Jupiter, and in harmony with the Sun, which moves from experiencing a pleasant sense of wellbeing, to later feelings of inner and outer equanimity. The 11th is 8 - Kan "con" or Seed or Lizard: balance through planting seeds and making new connections, while Venus moves into Scorpio which is the sign of its detriment because it's in the sign opposite of Taurus, which Venus rules. Planets in detriment are traditionally considered to have difficulty operating positively in these signs. This begins a period leading up to the Equinox where there is more Pluto/Scorpio activity bringing increased intensity that pulls us deeper into our experiences. Relationship issues will not be able to be suppressed while Venus is in Scorpio until October 7th. Venus in Scorpio emphasizes the passion and sexual energy in relationships. Scorpio, being ruled by Pluto, wants to feel a spiritual connection to the other, where it experiences surrender, death and rebirth, and transformation through love. Try to avoid being possessive during Venus's time in the sign of the scorpion. While the Sagittarius Moon is challenged by Neptune, in harmony with Mercury, and finds support from Mars and Uranus. The day's emotional energy moves from bringing our dreams into the day's vibration while having pleasant energy to be with friends and loved ones, to feeling a little more confident than usual with the ability to assert ourselves in a positive manner, and finally it brings a desire for emotional excitement to engage in activities outside our daily routine. September 12th is 9 - Chicchan "chee-chan" or Serpent: patience experienced through being flexible, as the First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius is challenged by the Sun in Virgo which brings challenges to following a daily routine. The 13th is 10 - Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation: manifestation through releasing what no longer serves us, with the Capricorn Moon harmonizing with Venus, Neptune, and Saturn, challenged by Mercury, and merging with Pluto. The day moves from wanting to be with friends and the people we love, with greater sensitivity to others' emotions with possible psychic impressions for those who are open, to our moods influencing our ability to think rationally, then there are realistic expectations through being calm and reflective, and later we have more intense moods rising to the surface from deep in our psyches. September 14th is 11 - Manik "man-eek" or Deer: resolution through being of service to others, as Venus trines Neptune which is an alignment between planet octaves. Venus representing personal love and Neptune representing unconditional love. This is pleasant energy, although not so great for accomplishing tasks. It has a strong tendency for daydreaming and fantasy. This is excellent for any type of creativity that must be conceived mentally prior to being brought into physical form. For the more highly evolved this is experienced as great compassion and tenderness, as this transit induces selflessness and spiritual love. While Mercury squares Pluto which can bring obsession with a particular point of view, so having an open mind is very important on the 14th. This may be a time where we experience one thought that dominates the day and leaves little room for anything else. This will be a period of increased arguments as people will be inclined to force their ideas on others. The best way to use this transit is to turn inward as it can bring to light hidden psychological insights that could change your life. Also the study of subjects that expose hidden or covert aspects of people or the world are benefitted under this transit, such as psychology, magic or other occult teachings, along with yoga to unveil other possibilities of human potential. Along with Mars trine Uranus on the 14th which brings new activities and encounters, some occurring quite unexpectedly, that are exciting and have the potential for personal growth. People will want to break out of the daily routine, with personal inhibitions reduced, expect folks to engage in activities that they desired yet didn't have the courage for before. Risk taking under this influence will give a greater sense of being alive, but also may have unexpected unpleasant consequences if things don't work out just right. This can be used to break down barriers in our lives without having to impulsively destroy everything we see as a restriction. While the Moon in Capricorn is challenged by Uranus, opposed by Jupiter, and supported by the Sun which shifts from folks acting hasty and jumping to conclusions that may not be correct to feelings of generosity and finally having a sense of harmony within ourselves and supports any type of group activity and relationships with the opposite sex. The 15th is 12 - Lamat "la-maught" or Star: understanding through being grateful for abundant relationships, with the Aquarius Moon challenged by Venus and Saturn which moves from pleasant energy for being with the others we want to know better, later we have some folks feeling lonely or isolated. September 16th is 13 - Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: movement to the next stage through appreciating creation, with Mercury opposed by Uranus which is another example of planet octaves with Mercury representing personal thought and communication along with short distance travel and Uranus representing long distance travel, and transpersonal thoughts and communication. There is tension in this opposition as people will think and speak hastily. Important information may be overlooked as folks are too much in a hurry. This may leave them feeling scattered, nervous, and undisciplined. This could also be a time for "brainstorming" as people will feel mentally stimulated where they understand information much more quickly, whatever the experience, it will need to stand the "test of time" before we are clear. As with most transits involving Uranus, this favors new types of adventures and is repelled by the daily mundane routine, one minute later the Moon in Aquarius is stimulated by Uranus, and supported by Mercury, and then opposes Mars at 4:19 am EDT and turns void of course for the rest of the day. So the day starts with pleasant yet restless feelings craving emotional excitement to do something outside the daily routine with being more in touch with our feelings and able to share them with others, then opposed by Mars which influences people to be more excitable and irritable which can cause problems in our personal lives, then is Void of course for the rest of the day which is about enjoying social interactions with others while avoiding major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences.

    So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Earth trecena, take some time to be in the flow of the planet by being in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being conscious of the moment through introspection, meditation or being with someone you love. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.
