Astrology Week 22 – 28 September, 2015: With the Sun in Libra the Equinox starts; Mars changes to Virgo & there is a Total Full Moon Eclipse in Aries on September 28, 2015!

At 6:31 pm on Wednesday September 23^rd, 2015 the Sun changes to the harmonious sign of Libra & with it starts the Autumn / Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere & the Vernal or Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere of our planet, inviting us to focus our attention to find a balance between the time we dedicate to ourselves and the time we offer to our relationships ... The universe shows us the importance of working shoulder to shoulder to achieve a common purpose; be fair in our dealings; relate equally; undertake small projects that bring an aesthetic touch to our home and spread the love around us.

It is a beautiful time of year where we need to boost the keywords of the romantic and idealistic Libra: "I balance; I weigh the pros & cons of situations! It is an air sign; associated with the energy of thinking about ideas & communication.

The Sun changes to Libra under the light of the wise Moon in Capricorn in gibbous phase, bringing us abundant light to show us the importance of working with emotional discipline to relate equally. Venus in Leo! Venus is the planet associated with love and beauty; Venus is the ruler of the sign of Libra. Venus is in Leo until Oct 9^th, 2015 highlighting the importance of creating in harmony that which dictates our hearts by giving love to those who deserve it in our life.

Venus in Leo is in exact harmony with Uranus in Aries indicating the need to be authentic no matter what people think of us and solving situations thinking out of the box. Mercury retrograde in Libra reminds us to relate warmly, with generosity and nobility. Pluto in Capricorn forms harmony with the opposition between Jupiter in Pisces and Neptune in Virgo emphasising that any transformation is possible when we balance the constant work to solve our fears and awaken our consciousness to cultivate tolerance and compassion.

On Monday September 28, 2015 at 12:50 pm there will be a Total Full Moon Eclipse in Aries! Total Moon Eclipse under the polarity between individuality (Moon is at 5 degrees of Aries) and relationships (Sun is at 5 degrees of Libra) emphasises the emotional independence to affirm ourselves, defend our feelings and what we consider our rights are in relationships. But we need to be mindful to act with diplomacy and respect to find harmony.

It is a powerful eclipse due to the proximity of the Luminaries (Sun and Moon) to the nodes which are invisible Moon orbits that relate to our evolution. Eclipses are messengers of change and they can have a long term effect up to 6 months. This natural spectacle is visible in the eastern United States, South America, West Africa and Europe.

Wise Saturn in Sagittarius supports the eclipse indicating that it will be beneficial to ask ourselves questions about the commitment we have with our relationships. Mars is the "Lord of the Eclipse" because Mars is the natural ruler of the sign of Aires. Mars is in Virgo giving us the mental energy to answer our visionary questions about what we will do in our future - Mars at 0 degrees Virgo challenges Saturn at 0 degrees of Sagittarius.

Note: It is important to remember that the energies here are exposed collectively. Individually the strength of the impact of the eclipse will depend on wherever the polarity of Aries and Libra are in our birth chart plus if we have planets at +/- 5 degrees. The area where the Moon is eclipsed in our chart indicates the ground we must examine and care for.

Happy Birthday to those born with the Sun in Libra from September 23 to October 23. Each time we have our birthday the sun returns to the same degree as when we were born (Solar Return). It brings a message related to the opportunities and challenges that lie in year ahead.
