LIBRA FORECAST

As mentioned in our post September 20, the Sun moved into the Cardinal, Air sign of Libra on September 23, 2023.  See our posts at www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-libra-september-23-2023  Here is our Libra forecast (transits) for 2023

 

With transiting Uranus remaining in the sign of Taurus reaching its lowest point of 19° towards the end of 2023 and into 2024, those with their Libra Sun within orb of these degrees will experience a quincunx. The quincunx can be a bit of a challenging aspect as it speaks of the need for adjusting their life’s circumstances. This can relate to relationships or goals in life, and it may not be an easy alteration. Uranus acts in unexpected manners although it does provide a degree of warning of what needs to be done.

 

Uranus’ action is swift and can be erratic although the changes will be what is required at the time and the need for change has likely been in place for some time.

 

There is also an upcoming Solar Eclipse at 21° Libra which will certainly touch those within a 3° approach to this degree with their Sun or other placements of planets and angles within their chart. (We will be discussing the importance of this upcoming event in a future post).

 

Jupiter is also in early degrees of Taurus having an influence on what unfolds in the quincunx. T Neptune will play its part as well being in the final stages of Pisces also making a quincunx to those with their Sun in these degrees.

 

In general, this upcoming period certainly suggests that adjustments are necessary for those with important connections related to these positionings.

 

More will be written in upcoming posts about the influence of these positions in the natal chart, but for a personal analysis contact an experienced Astrologer.

AUTUMNAL OR FALL EQUINOX

September 23, 2023, we (north of the equator) will experience the Autumnal or Fall Equinox at 02:50 a.m. EDT.

 

The Fall equinox (Mabon) acknowledges and celebrates the rewards of our hard labour and the gathering of our harvest. The Fall equinox is a time of reflection on the harvest of our achievements and often considered a time of change. It is linked to the astrological sign of Libra which above all else is a sign that requires balance. Our current balance requirement is knowing what we need to hold on to and what we need to let go of.

 

Now is the time to reap the rewards of our labour but if we have not sown the seeds of life in the manner we should have, we may have to sacrifice because of the shortfalls and count our losses.

 

Astrologically, the Fall equinox represents finding a balance within our self-image and within any disapproval that is found in our view of self. How can you change that disapproval to approval?

 

This is a time to review our life’s goals and the conquests we have made. This review will assist us in recognizing our abilities and true selves.

 

The spring and fall equinox are known as cardinal points. The cardinal points in the horoscope are known as action points. They are used as timing devices and lead to activity, drive, ambition, and involvement. The fall equinox is the end or culmination point of whatever action you have already taken similar to the Full Moon’s energies. It is a time to actively pursue a course of action, to take control of your life and push forward in the direction of your choice. Cardinal signs are action oriented and strive for activity that is often personally initiated. Do not wait for or rely on others to make things happen.

 

This will be the time to push ahead with the harvest of your efforts or count your losses and set new things in motion. Use the energies of the equinox to push forward and make the changes you need. Address any situation that needs your focus. The time has come to move beyond any stagnated stages of life that have held you back. Now is the time to reap the rewards after a busy season of planting the seeds and nurturing growth. The efforts you put forth are now ready to be harvested.

SUN IN LIBRA ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2023

The Sun moves from the Mutable, Earth sign of Virgo into the Cardinal, Air sign of Libra on September 23, 2023. Those individuals with strong Libra characteristics (planets in Libra or located in the 7^th house) have a desire to accomplish and advance their objectives as well as a desire for balance, harmony, fairness and justice.

 

Librans need peace and harmony in life and go to great measures to accomplish this, not only in their life but also in the lives of those around them. This applies particularly to relationships of significance. “Peace at almost any cost” could be their mantra, and they are known for sitting on the fence when it comes to disputes. Although they have their personal views on what is right, they will sway from one side to the other just to keep the peace.

 

Relationships are very important to your typical Libran and many feel as though a part of them is missing when there is no meaningful bond. Lessons through connections with others are a big part of their life.

 

Although they want to maintain the peace as this is very important for them, they don’t mind speaking their mind particularly with their partner. They may point out deficiencies within the relationship that need work and gently say it like it is.

 

Happy Solar Return to our friendly, social, positive, fair, clever Libra friends.

LIFE’S TEACHINGS (Lessons)

We have all heard the old saying that the hard lessons are the ones we remember. During the smooth times it seems there are few lessons to learn but why is this so?

 

Do we just float through the good times without recognizing they are blessings?

 

Can we learn from our positive experiences or does life have to be challenging for us to recognize our lessons?

 

If we realize how fortunate we are and appreciate our life’s experience (challenging or not), lessons are still being taught. We know the value of appreciation. We recognize the abundance that flows from these periods and are grateful. This too is a valuable lessons and teaches us to appreciate what life sends our way.

 

Let’s give the same amount of focus to these easy flow periods as we do to our challenging periods.

 

In knowing and understanding that the flow of life does change with the amount of focus we give to certain events in our lives, it is important to pay closer attention to what we refer to as “good times”.

 

Energy grows and focus builds. I believe we have acknowledged a valuable lesson today!

TRANSITING JUPITER TRINE NATAL JUPITER

Jupiter is known as the greater benefic, and Venus is known as the lessor benefic. These are planets that bring good fortune, opportunities, good luck, favorable conditions, and the barer of overall better life situations. Jupiter brings growth, expansion, valued lessons, learned experiences and can also bring good health. This all depends on the houses involved and the overall condition of Natal Jupiter in the natal chart.

 

When Transiting Jupiter makes a trine to your N Jupiter (especially when it goes retrograde and direct passing over the same degree) Jupiter can improve conditions, bring favorable outcomes and challenge any issue that is current. This is a very favorable placement of Jupiter. Take full advantage of these energies to create the greatest benefit.

 

E.g. if T Jupiter is making a conjunction to your midheaven and also making a trine to its natal position in the sixth house, this would be an opportunistic period to move ahead with your career objectives. You may find that your goals reach a culmination point and that recognition in the workplace is obtained. You may go for a raise or move up the corporate ladder. The opportunities are endless, especially if the rest of your chart also implies the same.

 

This could also apply if T Jupiter were in the second house making a trine to its natal position in the sixth house, creating a Grand Trine with your Midheaven also making a trine to this position. This would imply that your finances have the potential to increase, or you feel very secure which in turn could affect your overall health because of the changes taking place within the workplace. Perhaps stress has been removed and your duties and co-workers seem to work well together.

 

One final potential position: T Jupiter is now in the seventh house making a trine to your N Jupiter in the third. This may imply that your relationship moves to a different level. Perhaps there are indicators of marriage or serious commitment. On the other hand you have started a business with someone and now through well thought out communication you have an idea that might perform well within this business relationship. If you also have a favorable aspect from the ninth house in the same element (earth, air, fire, or water) then perhaps litigation is now constructively working for you. Any court proceedings have the potential to work in your favor.

 

If T Jupiter moves into retrograde passing over this degree again, the timing of these events can last much longer especially when T Jupiter is moving over the degree while in direct motion. The first contact is usually the strongest.

IT IS AN ONGOING PROCESS

Life’s learning process is extensive and ongoing; it is a continuous process.

 

We may not be aware of the learning potential within our everyday experience. Nonetheless, opportunities are present even in the relatively simple, mundane routines and at other times, are obviously present in the over-amplified lessons. Learning is not always an easy process, and it seems that the more difficult the challenge the greater the lesson.

 

We always have options along the way. Either we accept and learn or we fight the process, place blame and struggle because of these practices.

 

We may build on life experiences with an attitude that substitutes anger and guilt for acceptance and knowledge. We take responsibility for our life and recognize that these challenges are our stepping-stones to growth.

 

It may not appear that way as we move through rapids of grief and torrents of pain, but over time these rapids relax into meandering streams of acceptance. Acceptance can become our life raft of strength, and we are able to endure any storm that comes our way.

 

We are here to explore the ebbs and flows of life’s lessons that need to be confronted and learned. Go with the flow when it is a requirement. Change when change is essential. Fight the fight if that is what is required and walk your road knowing that all obstacles will be met head on and conquered.

NEW MOON SEPTEMBER 14, 2023

On September 14, we will experience a Virgo New Moon @ 21° (which falls in the 3^rd decant of Virgo incorporating Taurus energies with the Virgo tendencies). Transiting Uranus, the planet of change and awakening, is also part of this configuration making a close trine to this position.

 

Virgo is a mutable earth sign so this period has the potential of not only change suggested by T Uranus but also a degree of adaptability to the change. The energies/goals set at this time should reach fruition in about 6 months when we have our Full Moon in Virgo.

 

This New Moon should enhance near perfection to careful planning and goals. Remember it will take time to manifest. Organization and a steady approach is what is recommended and if you are not comfortable with a less than perfect product or result, realize that perfection is not always attainable. Do not allow setbacks or worry to stop you from working towards your objectives.

 

Careful planning is the focus here and perhaps it has to do with investments on some level where financial interchange is part of the picture. Perhaps something unexpected takes place during this influence which helps the situation. On some level you can expect the unexpected to assist in some manner. A somewhat sudden interaction is possible with the energies of Uranus taking part in this situation. Perhaps a realization or awakening of sorts takes place in a positive way. The trine from Uranus opens doors that might otherwise have been closed and eliminates whatever now no longer serves a real purpose. (Remember this influence has to be connected in your chart to have a major influence)

 

This is a positive time for those that are affected by this New Moon’s placement. Look for either your Sun being within 3° to making a conjunction to this placement or if you have other angles or planets in close proximity to this placement adding their influence.

 

Great energies are in place although natal potential always must be taken into consideration.
