Human Design Weekly Neutrino Forecast for September 18th to September 24th 2016

This is the "Weekly Neutrino Forecast for September 18th to September 24th 2016."

    On September 18th we have the Sun in Virgo, and also in the 6th hexagram. The Sun in the 6th hexagram is mapped to an opening in an energy channel called a gate, which is the 6th gate of "Friction (Conflict); The fundamental design component of progress. The law that growth cannot exist without friction." Located on the Solar Plexus center in a tribal energy path in the Defense Circuit, called the "Channel of Mating: A design of Focused on Reproduction" that connects to the 59th Gate of "Sexuality (Dispersion); The ability to break down barriers to achieve union." I have found HD to be amazingly accurate in describing the person, that I use it as my primary tool when I provide readings. We have the following activated gates on September 18th; the Sun in the 6th gate, the Earth in the 36th gate, North node in the 64th gate and the South Node in the 63, Mercury slowing down to station and then turn direct on the 22nd, in the 64th gate, Venus in the 32nd gate, Mars in the 11, Jupiter in the 46th, Saturn in the 9th, Uranus retrograde in the 42, Neptune retrograde in the 37, and Pluto retrograde in the 38th gate. 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.       

The neutrino forecast is just a weather report, no matter what the weather an individual's strategy and authority is the correct choice to have an authentic experience regardless of the program. As Ra Uru Hu said "Whatever the weather is going to be, you have your neutrino umbrella. As long as you are experimenting with your strategy and authority, the weather is for your pleasure."       

We begin the week with no channel definitions due to the transit field. 

We are going to look at the Sun's Rave I'Ching line values daily because 70% of the neutrinos we receive come from the Sun and as Ra said in "Living with the Program: The Lines of the Day" when talking about these daily shifts of line values, he said "We can always take advantage of the themes of the day." If your strategy and authority does not lead you in that direction, you can always notice how the program is affecting others in your environment. So let's get started.

September 18th begins with the Sun in the 4th line of the 6th hexagram. Sun is exalted in the 6.4, and described as "Triumph: A position on natural and unchallengeable power. exalted: The charity and wisdom that must come with victory and the movement towards new horizons. The power of emotions to dominate a relationship." Fourth line days are the Opportunist and change from inward perspective to looking outward, from personal to trans-personal, with the themes of friendship, of companionship, of networking. Fourth line days are great for social interaction. Later on the 18th the Sun moves into the 5th line of the 6th hexagram at 5:20 pm EDT (21:20 UT). The Sun in the 6.5 is described as "Arbitration: The faith derived from analytical diligence and emotional control that permits a higher authority to judge a conflict. exalted: Harmony furthered through the avoidance of direct conflict. Sensitivity to conflict can lead to the avoidance of intimacy. detrimented: Where a party to arbitration sees itself as the best possible judge and will only accept judgment if it is the victor. Insensitivity to the concerns of others in a conflict." The Fifth line is about projection, first positive followed by negative. It’s the Heretic. Positive projection being “they could do this…”, “they’re the perfect person to do…” whatever is the projection, and if the person does not do it, can’t do it, does not want to do it, they do not meet the expectation, then the projection changes from positive to negative, the person gets punished, the heretic gets tied to the stake. The fifth line day is heretical, a day of suspicion, also a day of universalization. Something can leak out and spread very rapidly like a virus. YouTube video where suddenly there's millions of viewings or a facebook post that goes viral. But there is a great deal of suspicion and paranoia on a 5th line day, which impacts the nature of relationships. Of course if they are projecting on you and you are not meeting their expectations, and they want to punish you, that’s not paranoia. Seduction is also a theme of a fifth line day. 

 

On the 19th the Sun moves into the 6th line of the 6th hexagram at 4:22 pm EDT (20:22 UT). The Sun in the 6.6 is "The peacemaker: The discipline and integrity of a superior force to unilaterally cease conflict to permit surrender and survival of its foe. exalted: The highest form of reason is that life is sacred. The emotional power to end conflict tempered by feelings and sensitivity to others. detrimented: The peacemaker whose actions are just but whose terms are unacceptable. The emotional power to end conflict but only after one's conditions have been satisfied." The sixth line is on the roof of the hexagram. It’s the Role Model. When I think about being on the roof of a building, I don’t tend to look at the building, rather what’s around the building, what’s in the neighborhood, what’s down the road, what’s on the horizon… Ra said sixth line days are about "not to get stuck with your head in the clouds because you'll end up having something bang into your kneecaps."  A day where there is a real lack of focus of what's going on around you, because folks are looking beyond their immediate environment. Like a 3rd line day there are certain dangers. Not seeing the car coming. Not seeing a bill coming.

On the 20th the Sun moves from the 6th, to the 46th, joining Jupiter, and Earth moves from the 36th Hexagram, to the 25th and the Gate of "the Spirit of the Self (Innocence); The perfection of action through uncontrived and spontaneous nature." This shift happens at 3:24 pm EDT (19:24 UT), with the Sun in the 46th gate of "Determination of the Self (Pushing Upwards); Good fortune that may be perceived as a result of serendipity but derives from effort and dedication." The Sun is detrimented in the 46.1 due to Jupiter being in the 46. The Sun is in the line of "Being discovered: Dedication in obscurity that is unexpectedly discovered. detrimented: The ability to judge the potential of those in obscurity but often solely to benefit one's own success. The determination to recognize and benefit from the success of others." As we move from the 6 to the 46, we enter a collective abstract gate of sharing the experience of the body. We are still in the quarter of duality, of bonding... and the 46 is a gate of love to be shared with another. It's G-center gate of behavior, movement, synchronizing collective identity, relationships, love of the body, and it's harmonic 29th gate in the sacral center that feeds the love of the body, with its commitment to care collectively, to saying yes to having an experience. Together they form the channel of discovery, succeeding where others fail, failing where others succeed. A tantric channel. Its polarity is the 25, empowering the love of mind, which brings us to the cross of the vessel of love, and the mid-point of the quarter of duality. The first eight gates begin with sphinx and are about direction and the physical dynamic of the relationship. At the mid-point we get to love, and the theme of love through the second half of the quarter. With the Sun in the 46 we have the potential for good fortune through the body. The first line is the investigator. When the Sun is in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line days people look inward and are absorbed with their own process. Lower trigram is a personal process. The theme of a first line day is a fear or anxiety that needs to be investigated. A day to study, not to act. Day to look into things, not jump. Good day to deal with things you don't understand, can't make sense of or don't know.  Also on the 20th Venus moves from the 32, to the 50th. In HD, Venus is very powerful and deeply misunderstood according to Ra. Venus is about values, morality, natural law in which we deal with the other and the consequences of the world around us. What disturbs you at a moral level? Your design and personality Venuses tell you the moral dilemma you're going to work with in your life. If you do not act with moral clarity, Venus can be unkind in its retribution. Venus in 50th gate of "Values (The Cauldron): The values of historical continuity whose traditional values serve and enrich the present and the future," and Venus is detrimented in the 50.1 is "The Immigrant: Humbleness of origin that benefits rather than restricts destiny. detrimented: A dissatisfaction with/or embarrassment with origins, that makes an obsession of refinement. A dissatisfaction with original values that demand refinement." In the program, Venus is about control through maintaining the status quo, in the way in which we operate with each other. We experience the transiting planets through the Maia. We are not here to avoid the Maia, but to embrace it, as yourself, through following your Strategy and Authority.

On the 21st the Sun moves into the 2nd line of the 46th hexagram at 2:25 pm EDT (18:25 UT). The Sun is exalted in the 46.2, and is described as "The prima donna: exalted: A difficult and demanding nature that succeeds despite its behavior because of the depth of its talents. The determination to succeed that may offend others." The second line is the Hermit. Second line days everyone is waiting for something. Waiting to be called. Called for their natural talents. People are stuck in their own trip. Not a great day to have a party because no one will want to come.

On the 22nd the Sun moves into the 3rd line of the 46th hexagram, at 1:25 pm EDT (17:25 UT). The Sun in the 46.3 is "Projection: exalted: A practical approach to good fortune, that maintains the same patterns and attitudes that brought success and does not get sidetracked by indulging in further expectations. The determination to stay with what brings success. detrimented: A tendency through projection to treat a potential future as the present, leading to unjustified egoism and the loss of momentum and support. The determination to treat a projected success as reality." The third line is the Martyr, with a trial and error process, bonds made and broken, and a system of discovery by figuring out what doesn’t work. Things bump into you on a third line day, so be careful on the roads. Be careful of swinging doors or swinging elbows. This is a day where we might have bonds made or broken, or feel like we’re on trial. It's a good material day. A good day to do business and work on the material plane, but you also have to be careful because things can go wrong. Things that lead to discovery.

On the 23rd the Sun moves into the 4th line of the 46th hexagram at 12:24 pm EDT (16:24 UT). The Sun in the 46.4 is "Impact: exalted: The ability, once recognized, to move rapidly from a position of obscurity to influence. The good luck which comes from being determined that eventually, in the right place at the right time, leads to recognition. detrimented: A reaction in achievement that tends to bite off the hand that fed it. The determination in success to ignore those who helped create it." Fourth line days are the Opportunist and change from inward perspective to looking outward, from personal to trans-personal, with the themes of friendship, of companionship, of networking. Fourth line days are great for social interaction.

On the 24th the Sun moves into the 5th line of the 46th hexagram at 11:22 am EDT (15:22 UT). The Sun in the 46.5 is described as "Pacing: exalted: The maintenance of proper rhythm, that in its instinctive practically, avoids radical divergence from successful patterns. The determination to stay with the rhythm which brings success. detrimented: An irrational rejection of the very patterns that have proven successful. Determined to say no to the very rhythm that brings success." The Fifth line is about projection, first positive followed by negative. It’s the Heretic. Positive projection being “they could do this…”, “they’re the perfect person to do…” whatever is the projection, and if the person does not do it, can’t do it, does not want to do it, they do not meet the expectation, then the projection changes from positive to negative, the person gets punished, the heretic gets tied to the stake. The fifth line day is heretical, a day of suspicion, also a day of universalization. Something can leak out and spread very rapidly like a virus. YouTube video where suddenly there's millions of viewings or a facebook post that goes viral. But there is a great deal of suspicion and paranoia on a 5th line day, which impacts the nature of relationships. Of course if they are projecting on you and you are not meeting their expectations, and they want to punish you, that’s not paranoia. Seduction is also a theme of a fifth line day. Also on the 24th Mars moves from the 11th hexagram, into the 10th. Mars in the gate of "The behavior of the Self (Treading): The underlying code of behavior which ensures successful interaction despite circumstances." Mars is detrimented in the 2nd and 5th line of the 10th hexagram. The 10.1 is "Modesty: An innate sense to know and accept one's place and how to act despite circumstances. exalted: A valued sense of purpose no matter what the position. The ability to know one's place and how to act despite circumstances. detrimented: The affliction of oversensitivity and hurt feelings. Oversensitivity to external conditioning of behavior." Ra spoke of Mars being an extraordinary and immature energy resource, that lacks refinement, and is subject to outbursts. Mars represents the warrior archetype. By following our strategy and authority we slowly refine the energy of our design and personality Mars from immaturity to wisdom. Mars in the program is about expression through a mutation. This plays out in the mundane plane as change. These are changes that take hold in the homogenized world as fads or trends. This is an illusion, because the population is ready for the same changes at the same time because of transiting Mars.

    So no matter what energies are conditioning you during the week, remember this experience is about being a passenger riding in a vehicle driven by the magnetic monopole. So enjoy the scenery, and let the vehicle take you where you need to go, through using your strategy and authority. 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.

Astrology and Mayan Tzolkin for September 13th to September 25th 2016

This is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of September 13th 2016 and 1 – Ik "eek" or Wind in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with the Pisces Full Moon and lunar eclipse, Mercury turning direct, the Sun entering Libra for the Equinox, and Venus entering Scorpio.

    September 13th is 1 – Ik "eek" or Wind carries the themes of air, breath, life force, prana, chi, that which animates life, inspiration, imagination, the spark of creativity and spirit, communication, and the dissemination of seeds and ideas. The day glyph for wind is a T shaped cross that represents the Mayan god of wind but is also symbolic of trees which restore the life energy to the air. This thirteen day period would be a good time to communicate your inspiration and connect with the life force that makes you unique. An interesting item of note about the Wind trecena, which is associated with communication, is that the planet that is associated with communication, Mercury, is slowing down and is at the peak of its power as it stops prior to turning direct on the 22nd.

     Before I get into the daily energy for 1 – Ik "eek", on the 13th all the planets appear to be moving forward from our vantage point on Earth, except Mercury, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto which appears to move retrograde or in reverse motion. Remember the themes of retrograde planets are the review the past, re-evaluate, reminisce and we can see these themes being played out. Mercury retrograde in Virgo until the 22nd would be a good time to avoid signing contracts or other legal papers, making any major purchases, or even taking a new job. If you can postpone these types of activities the terms will be much clearer after Mercury is moving direct. That may seem impossible, so if you can avoid these activities a few days before and after Mercury changing directions on the 22nd, when the energy is at its most potent, would be beneficial. Mercury retrogrades force us to slow down and pay more attention to our lives by making us focus on the details of our daily experience. When looking at a retrograde cycle of any of the personal or inner planets, it provides information about a correction to our present course. Chiron retrograde 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. If you find yourself recalling painful events or situations between now and when Chiron turns direct November 30th, it is advisable remain conscious while dealing with these uncomfortable feelings as they will reveal the path to healing and letting go of what no longer serves a purpose in our upcoming journey. Uranus in Aries retrograde, is seeking to shake our very foundation through the unexpected rebellion of the individual. Uranus in Aries will have people wanting to hurry the process of getting free. To push the river of revolution whether it be personal or political. Uranus in astrology forces us outside our comfort zone so we have to look for possibilities "outside the box." 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. Neptune retrograde 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. Both Neptune and Pisces, the sign it rules, tend to be dreamy, imaginative, difficult to nail down due to their qualities of illusion and illumination often without any way to know which is which. They represent compassion and co-dependence, selflessness and loss of self, higher purpose and substance abuse, in their inspiration to transcend the material plane and experience something beyond words and thoughts. Pluto the planet of transformation through a death and rebirth cycle, is retrograde, which is about reviewing the past, and is a time of releasing anything from the past that is a burden to our new path. Pluto represents death, completion, and in Capricorn, the breakdown of structures, to bring about transformation.          

     Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena.

September 13th is 1 – Ik "eek" or Wind: unity experienced through communication in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, while the Sun squares Mars which is a day when we are more conscious of ourselves and our motivations. This could be a day where we observe serious ego conflicts between people. Folks will be looking for vulnerabilities in others, flaws in arguments, any errors which can be challenged, or any other chink in the armor of the other. This is a high energy transit, perhaps too high if we're not careful. So watch for signs of people becoming irritable or impatient, especially when things don't go exactly as planned. Probably it's best to avoid being assertive unless it's absolutely called for. This is also a time where people are projecting their irritability and aggression on others without realizing that it's originating within themselves. A day to be particularly careful of conflict with authority, even if our claims are legitimate, we are likely to encounter a hostile reaction during this transit. It would be good to vent this energy into some type of physical activity that will give your aggressions a satisfactory outlet. Without an outward expression this type of energy can lead to illness or accidents, or if projected will attract angry and difficult people. Also on the 13th the Aquarius Moon harmonizing with Saturn brings realistic expectations through being calm and reflective.

The 14th is 2 – Akbal "awk-bol" or Night: duality experienced through contemplating the stars, while the Sun opposes Chiron which illuminates our deepest wounds through the opposition from the Virgo Sun and Chiron in Pisces, bringing forward health, organization, and service consciousness to heal and bring spiritual liberation. Also on the 14th Mars squares Chiron which challenges us to look at and feel the pain of past wounds related to sex and aggression, so that experienced consciously healing can occur. These Chironic alignments lead us toward the Pisces Full Moon and lunar eclipse on the 16th. Healing is highlighted in the Full Moon chart. The past cannot be ignored during this time of fruition. Also on the 14th the Moon in Aquarius finds support from Venus, and harmonizes with Mars and Uranus, which influences the day’s emotional energy as it shifts from pleasant feelings and social interactions, to later brings the desire to work independently from others, and finally pleasant yet restless feelings craving emotional excitement to do something outside the daily routine.

September 15th is 3 – Kan "con" or Seed or Lizard: taking action through planting seeds and making new connections, while the Pisces Moon merges with Neptune, is challenged by Saturn, and harmonizes with Pluto, as the emotional frequency 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 later people feeling lonely or isolated, and finally having deep emotions finding their way to the surface and felt on a profound level.

The 16th is 4 – Chicchan "chee-chan" or Serpent: stability through being flexible, while we have the Pisces Full Moon which is a challenging full moon, with some very assertive and unexpected energy of the planetary alignments on the days following 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, for what you have sown over the past six months? The lunation is opposed by Mercury along with the Sun, and challenged by Mars. Square Mars which can have people feeling irritable which could lead to needless disputes. Opposed by Mercury will have some feeling a real conflict between feelings and reason and others having fruitful expressions of their deeper awareness either internally or with another. Full moons bring tension between the Moon, in Pisces pulling us to explore otherworldly realms, and the Sun, in Virgo which wants a grounded and organized in way of being in this world. Grounding rituals will help assimilate the spiritual and healing influences of this lunation. The penumbral eclipse will be difficult to see as the Moon becomes only slightly less visible. This may be very challenging for folks with planets at the 22 to 26 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. To the Native American tribes this is the Full Harvest Moon or Full Corn Moon when corn was harvested. It was a time of working late under the light of the full moon to pick crops before the frost in Northern North America. This is the time Native Americans harvested corn, pumpkins, beans, rice, and squash.

September 17th is 5 – Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation: empowerment through releasing what no longer serves us, with Mars trines Uranus, 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. This alignment supports taking action to bring about change. This could be shocking to those who resist or are otherwise inflexible. Also on the 17th the Aries Moon is opposed by Jupiter and supported by Saturn which changes from feelings of generosity, to later settling into a more sober and realistic view of life.

The 18th is 6 – Manik "man-eek" or Deer: being in the flow through being of service to others, while Venus opposes Uranus, which can bring a sudden unexpected occurrence in a love relationship, which may not be negative. This can be unusual, and stimulating, but also destabilizing. People will be driven to have exciting activities and experiences. The routine in relationships will not be satisfying today, and unresolved tension in love relationships may cause a rupture in the pairing. Relationships that begin under this influence will provide a break from the mundane, but may not be long lasting. Since Venus also rules money this could also indicate an unexpected change in the financial markets. Also on the 18th the Moon in Aries is challenged by Pluto, merges with Uranus, opposed by Venus, and supported by Mars which shifts from having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in the long run, to later people feeling impulsive and acting rashly, with moods changing quickly and unexpectedly, followed by pleasant energy for enjoying sensual experiences and rich food with a caution against overindulgence, and finally brings the energy for asserting ourselves in a positive manner and standing our ground if necessary.

September 19th is 7 – Lamat "la-maught" or Star or Rabbit or Venus: reflection through being grateful for abundant relationships, with Venus sextiles Mars, which favors love relationships and the formation of friendships. This brings balance between being self assertive and the desire to relate to others. In romantic or sexual relationships this comes about through a "give and take" process and in friendships we encourage others to be their selves by being authentic ourselves. This also brings action (Mars) to creative projects (Venus). Over all it is a drive to beautify. A great day to be with others at a party, or a night "out on the town" with the energy for lively interactions, particularly with the opposite sex. This is also good for investments in something new and unique. Also on the 19th the Taurus Moon harmonizing with Neptune brings greater sensitivity to others' emotions with possible psychic impressions for those who are open.

The 20th is 8 – Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: balance through appreciating creation, with Mercury trine Pluto which can bring concern about the deeper issues in life. This has people wanting to dig below the surface to uncover mysteries. On a personal level this can be excellent for inner work, so it might be a good day for some "alone time" to discover some of the deeper dimensions of your psyche. Communications may seem rather serious and profound. Thoughts will be more focused and gain insights about important developments. Since Mercury is at a standstill or stationed this alignment is active for most of the week and is exact again on the 23rd, which means it is also significant in the equinox chart. Also on the 20th the Moon in Taurus finds support from Pluto, Mercury, and the Sun which moves from bringing out intense emotions and stimulating sensitivity, which also favors sexual relationships, to later being more in touch with our feelings and able to share them with others, and finally feeling a sense of inner harmony which is mirrored in the outside world.

September 21st is 9 – Oc "awk" or Dog: patience experienced through enjoying family and friends, while the Gemini Moon finds support from Jupiter, is challenged by Neptune and opposed by Saturn which changes from people having a pleasant sense of wellbeing, to later daydreams and fantasies feeling more important than reality, and finally feeling lonely and isolated.

The 22nd is 10 – Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: manifestation through creating something new, while the Equinox brings Fall 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 the Sun is debilitated in the sign of the scales. Equinox and solstices astrology charts give us insight to the coming season and this one has the Sun conjunct Jupiter which is very good energy both physically and psychologically. It's very optimistic and expansive. As mentioned earlier Mercury trine Pluto is bringing our thinking and communications to explore our depths. Mercury is also part of a mutable grand cross opposing Neptune and squaring Saturn and the Gemini Moon. We’ve been discussing the Saturn Neptune square as it has been dissolving reality and structures, and in the Equinox chart Mercury just a few hours direct adds confused thinking, with the Moon adding an emotional tension to the upcoming season. Venus is still in orb to sextile Mars and oppose Uranus, as they trine each other bringing excitement and unusualness to our sexual and love relationships, as the Moon is opposed by Mars and sextile Uranus bringing irritable and unpredictable emotions to the chart. Neptune is sextile Pluto casting a veil that deludes or inspires us to gain greater insights, from what was previously hidden and has the potential to empower, without knowing which is which. The upcoming season favors being flexible in our relationships as we may feel limited and confused by the activities in our communities and the collective. The Libra Sun conjunct Jupiter brings expansion and illumination to issues of justice and fairness. 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. Also on the 22nd Mercury turns direct which at 14 degrees Virgo, which will bring forward the information that brings a new sense of our course correction to heading in the right direction. It will take Mercury a few day to build momentum, so patience is important until the messenger gets up to speed and we feel our lives moving in a forward direction. Also on the 22nd the Moon in Gemini is challenged by Mercury, stimulated by Uranus, opposed by Mars which shifts from folks being critical in their communications particularly with the people they have intimate relationships with, to later having pleasant yet restless energy that desires emotional excitement, and finally influences people to be more excitable and irritable which can cause problems in our personal lives.

September 23rd is 11 – Eb "eb" or Road: resolution through serving your community, while Venus enters 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. Relationship issues will not be able to be suppressed while Venus is in Scorpio until October 18th. 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. Also on the 23rd Mercury trine Pluto which can bring concern about the deeper issues in life. This has people wanting to dig below the surface to uncover mysteries. On a personal level this can be excellent for inner work, so it might be a good day for some "alone time" to discover some of the deeper dimensions of your psyche. Communications may seem rather serious and profound. Thoughts will be more focused and gain insights about important developments. Also on the 23rd the last quarter Moon finds support from Venus and Neptune, and is challenged by the Sun and Jupiter which moves from enjoying pleasant feelings and social interactions, to later having challenges to following a daily routine, followed by benevolent and generous feelings for those in our immediate environment, and finally our innermost subconscious fantasies and daydreams confusing reality, which may not be great for accomplishing much work.

The 24th is 12 – Ben "ben" or Reed or Corn: understanding through maintaining the home, with the Cancer Moon is opposed by Pluto, harmonizes with Mercury, and is challenged by Uranus which changes from brings deep emotions rising to the surface, to later being very social and having lots of conversations, and finally folks acting hasty and jumping to conclusions that may not be correct.

September 25th is 13 – Ix "eesh" or Jaguar: movement to the next stage through enjoying nature, while the Leo Moon challenged by Venus, and in harmony with the Sun and Jupiter which shifts from having pleasant energy for being with the others we want to know better, to later feeling balance between our inner and outer worlds, and finally brings good feelings and congenial social interactions.

    So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Wind 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.

You will need to be able to either call me in Maine in the U.S.A. or connect with Skype to receive your reading. We are also accepting donations to keep these reports freely available. As always I am blessed that you've taken the time to connect with my passion for these ancient mysteries and their application to our journey during this incarnation. The light in me honors the light in you… Namaste – In Lak’ech - <3
