Vedic Astrological Outlook for September 2012
www.Dgoldsteinphd.com
The major theme this month continues to be the emphasis on the
Mars/Saturn conjunction. As described in last months’ newsletter, Mars and
Saturn came to an exact conjunction on August 14th. However, both planets
continue transiting through Libra during the entire month of September, until
9/28, when Mars moves into Scorpio, its own very strong sign. Until that time,
we continue to experience this “push/pull” dynamic, with one-step forward, two
steps back, three steps forward, one step back in various areas of our lives.
If you have been feeling overwhelmed, impatient, thwarted, blocked, frustrated
or simply confused or frozen in time, for the past two months, it’s likely that
you are being influenced directly by this intense Mars/Saturn transit. As Mars
and Saturn separate over September, the impact of the intense conjunction will
gradually soften, and the energies will level out.
Understanding the Impact of Planetary Conjunctions:
When two planets conjunct tightly (within one degree of each other), they
become entwined, as if they are now one being or entity. Think of two people
living in the same house together and being forced to share that space for a
given period of time, for better or worse. When two planets have no separation
by degree, it’s as if they are sharing the same bed and remain that close. If
the two planets involved share a lot in common, respect each other, are
friendly to each other and mutually enjoy each other’s company, then it’s
wonderful. While a planetary conjunction is very intense because the energy is
so concentrated, the vibratory frequency can either move in a smooth,
harmonious direction at one extreme, or in a ragged, harsh tumultuous direction
at the other end of a continuous spectrum.
So, in the case of this current Mars/Saturn conjunction, we are observing
an extreme of two bitter enemies forced to live in close quarters. They have
little in common, except that they are both malefic energies. They don’t like
each other’s style; philosophy, life outlook/approach and they have completely
opposite methods of functioning. Imagine a Mars person and a Saturn person
sharing the same bed. Mars is hot, impatient, adventurous, restless, wanting
to move fast, with strong desires and high energy. Saturn is cold, withdrawn,
slow, focused, serious, critical and judgmental.
Mars is absolutely frustrated being held back by Saturn during this
conjunction, while Saturn is irritated and annoyed by Mars’ frenetic energy
pattern. Hence, this is the “push” “pull” experience many of us are rolling
through these days. You don’t know if you are coming or going! Everything
goes too fast and yet results are not fast enough!! This is exactly the
dynamic posed by this Mars/Saturn conjunction.
During August, Mars and Saturn were in bed together, as the conjunction
was that close by exact degree in Libra. Now, as September progresses, Mars
and Saturn are separating. They are not in the same bed, but in early
September they are still sharing the bathroom and the rest of the house. As
the weeks progress, Mars and Saturn move to separate rooms and get farther away
from each other. Mars jumps ahead and makes plans to “move out!” Ah, there
will be much better breathing room between these two planets, once we get into
October.
In fact, Mars moves into its own strong sign of Scorpio on 9/28, gains
some strength as October arrives and gets intensified in power, by an exact
conjunction with Rahu on 10/2. Moreover, Jupiter will aspect this Mars/Rahu
combination, creating an extremely powerful Mars with more energy, intensity
and power than can even be described by human language! Mars will be amplified
in October and life will start moving very rapidly. More on this transit in
the October newsletter!
For now, it’s important to simply understand how the power of two planets
in conjunction may be experienced energetically. If you previously understood
this concept in purely academic terms, now you have the opportunity to taste,
breathe and digest the real thing---here it is to observe, Mars and Saturn in
conjunction! You can now understand how the Mars/Saturn aspects are often one
signature for high blood pressure in a natal chart. It is this intense
pressure combination that must be released. It’s an earthquake, a volcano, a
hurricane, a war, an ending or death, intensity and pressure all wrapped up in
a package!
As September progresses, this pressure abates and the intensity
dissipates. Just a few more weeks of this particular Mars/Saturn transit.
Keep your eye on the “big picture” and certainly this month, “patience is a
virtue, Mr. Mars.” Your time will come soon enough!
September 2012 Outlook:
Other planetary events during September 2012 include Venus transiting into
Cancer on 9/1 and will move through the sign until 9/28, when it then moves
into Leo. This month, Venus’ transit through Cancer brings comfort and
pleasure through the home and family. The desire to enhance or decorate your
surroundings, cook, and improve the home will be strong. This transit also
strengthens real estate transactions as it brings a desire for security and
having a comfortable home. There is also an emphasis on nurturing, emotional
expression, education and later in the month, transformation and healing.
However, on 9/2 transiting Saturn will aspect Venus to the degree,
creating some stress, seriousness and a critical attitude toward relationships,
the home life, finances, pleasures and comforts. Venus then moves ahead and
separates as the month progresses. This may be a month where relationships are
evaluated with a more critical, serious attitude, focusing on whether security
and underlying support exists or not.
On 9/13, Mercury enters its exalted sign of Virgo. Mercury will also
receive the benefic aspect of Jupiter. Mercury remains in exalted Virgo until
10/1/2012. So, the last two weeks of this month will be excellent for
analytical pursuits, mechanical efforts, building, creating, computer work,
studies and organizational efforts. It will be a good two weeks for
communications and technological efforts.
Finally, the Sun remains quite strong for the first two weeks of
September, transiting through its own sign of Leo until 9/16, when the Sun then
moves into Virgo and will also receive the beneficial Jupiter aspect. Strong
Sun brings vitality, a sense of leadership, prowess and a strong sense of
confidence into the atmosphere. However, while Mars and Saturn continue their
tandem transit through Libra for most of September, it may be difficult to get
new projects or desires off the ground rapidly. This is a good month for
planning, organizing, completing projects, doing your due diligence and getting
your life in order. October comes in with a lot of intense power and energy to
get new projects going----so patience and planning are best for September and
initiate your plans, desires and projects in October.
