A brief note as we close out this month. As you read this, Mars is septile Saturn, adding to the generic craziness of the Grand Irrationality created by the ongoing Neptune septile Pluto. This is putting our Saturn energies at a fork in the road of our particular destiny, heralded by Mercury's septile this time last week. As the Sun crosses this septile zone, expect life to show us new developments.
The Sun will make the septile between October 1 and 7 as it moves from 9 to 14 degrees of Libra , and Venus will traverse the span around October 8-12. Other hot zones during the next two weeks include 3-6 Sagittarius, 23-26 Capricorn, 14-17 Pisces, 5-8 Taurus, 26-29 Gemini, and of course, wherever transiting Saturn is. If you have planets in these areas, heads up through the second week of October, as they'll be subject to the irrationality and heavy choices marking this aspect series.
Of course, the Moon in any of these spans fills in three points of the Seven Pointed Star pattern that is the Great Septile. September 27 the Moon is in the Sagittarius span, October 1 it's in the Capricorn span, October 4 its in the Pisces sector, October 8 it's in the Taurus span, and October 11-12 it's in the Gemini span, so stay alert to breaking developments during these times.
ps - I just realized that Venus is septile Jupiter. This is definitely a major turning point in the areas ruled by Aries, Taurus, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. That's over three quarters of our reality that is hitting a fork in the road or some kind of turning point, so heads up. Things are in motion!

Thank you so much for all the time you must spend to bring us this! Such beautiful service is definately inspiring as well as assuring. I've been wondering why I've felt like a dove in the hurricane's eye lately and now it makes sense, not sure why I keep get my heart broken over and over again the past year(me2.13.76,12:32pm,Albany,GA) Maybe I'm just sensitive and strong enough to take it but it's getting old! I've studied astrology for awhile now but haven't got into the deeper parts that you address here. So glad I found this feed! Thanks again.
peace,

Hi Asraiya - You're very welcome. I've always believed that while painful, the heart needs exercise to become strong. When we suffer at the end of a love, we can claim the strength of unconditional love whenever we're ready to do so. Glad you found my site. Neptune on your Sun with Saturn opposed is certainly getting you focused, and I have no doubt that Nov-Dec should be fantastic, given the quintiles and sextiles to your Sun that are coming. You're in a vision year, so quest, learn, open to a wider field of vision and exploration, and get ready to apply yourself next year, which should bring rewards from Spirit in big ways.

Again, thank you Robert for your time and this info. I am loving it. My mind is constantly looking for some answers, for some explanation of all this. I guess my Scorpio moon overwhelmes me quite often. Oh well! Thank you for support.

hi Robert,
well you told me my birthday would be weird, and it was (Oct4 1951 7:15pm Nashua NH)
After a wonderful day with loving friends i received the news that my 57 year old brother dropped dead from a heart attack, on the same day, my birthday....! what does that mean?
With Saturn conjunct my Pluto in Leo, Neptune opposite it, and Jupiter square it, i have been worried about my heart anyway, but now
the anxiety is really high. my brother was Leo, Sun conjunct Pluto (Aug 16 1949). this is all too overwhelming.
thanks so much for your help....i may need to get a reading from you soon.....

Hi kiwa - First, let me express my sincere condolences for the loss of your brother at such a young age. As for what it could mean, well, that's probably something you will be exploring for a long time, and now is not the time for you to get stuck in your brain asking "why." I would think that Saturn on your Pluto and Jupiter square has already manifested as the death, so please don't worry about some bad health thing happening to you. Definitely take care of your heart as best you're able, which for now needs gentle kindness and compassion.
You may also consider taking a look at "Love Dad," my book on grieving the death of a loved one. It's a very difficult time for you and all who are close to your departed brother, so please take care of yourself. As I said in the book, "breathe and love and breathe and love and..."
Eventually you will move beyond the shock and despair, and become stronger as you live your Eternal Self's higher Love and let go of all that distracts you from the Love you are. Again, my sincere condolences. Though hard, your grief honors the love you share with the Soul that was/is your brother, so take heart in the unconditional love that is being revealed to you with every breath you take. Aum.
