Heliocentric sidereal Astrology.
The heavens do tell us stories - there's never just a conjunction or just one month of this or that - they are wonderfully working hand in hand - orchestrating....
.................................................................................................................
30st of August 2023 Venus most south in her orbit, at around 20° sidereal Aquarius.
conjoining Nessus / opposing Orcus
Mercury approaching most southern point as well in sidereal
Capricorn and for a few hours, Venus and Mercury are in their
last 30° of cycle together....
4th of September 2023 Venus conjoins Neptune in early sidereal Pisces same time
Mercury conjoins Saturn in earlier sidereal Aquarius
During these days, the Earth/Moon system travels from Saturn to Nessus....
As we have these many "personal or terrestrial" planets involved, I think it's noteworthy what Mars as the "4th" and our “active side” is doing - he travels through later degrees of sidereal Virgo during these few days, first opposing Chiron and later Eris… matching too...
-------------------------------
Mercury and Venus as "inner" planets are also the "fastest" orbits as they have less "ground" to cover...
Venus' orbit does make only slight "curves" to the south or north of the ecliptic. Nevertheless, it's a part of her orbit, of the "energetics" - just like even if a season isn't in its extreme of expression it's still "that season".... south means, a new start, a new intention or "integration".... and we're going through that also with Mercury, who's orbit is going much further south and north than Venus'....
Mercury as the mind and “messenger” and Venus as “heart and beauty” or the value system are important and “fundamental” parts of our existence….
Naturally, even if people don’t have lots of money, there is a tendency to do or create something beautiful or artistic.… even if it’s just cleaning or rearranging something, to enjoy and admire the color of flowers, a sunrise or set, the moon, a butterfly or a strange form of a rock or a piece of wood or the smile of a stranger somewhere… especially, if we can make our minds and hearts to be open to the possibility of there being beauty even if “life seems miserable”…
Nessus is one of the often “uncomfortable” ones – he’s about abuse and neglect or to take it away from the extremes, where we jeopardize ourselves – may that now be we to us or others, direct or indirect…
Saturn is about structures and order, systems, authority and responsibility etc.
---------------------------------------
In these next 10 to 12 days, we will have such moments - insights, realizations, gifts, possibilities and so on.... yet, its clear we have to be open....
We have the tendency to think about all "possibilities" of what could maybe happen - may that now be about health or loss of this or that, a lack of whatever, someone "stealing", something breaking whatever.... and we may come up with all kinds of ideas and measurements to "prevent" something - there might be creative force in it - yet, I think it's
not really the creative power used in full.... because we have still not done, what we really want right??
Focus, action, thought and feeling - all together work for creation.... what is the heart's foundation for whatever? What does the heart give to the mind?? - fear or love/ trust and passion etc.
Everything we think, feel and do, does have an effect – a “flow” in this sense – that’s true within our visible, physical world but also on subtle levels… when we talk with someone, we same time talk to ourselves too, the “energy” in this sense doesn’t only flow or effect the other but ourselves as well plus of course the other person’s words/energy does effect us to a certain degree as well… (we decide the boundaries)....
Therefore, we have a responsibility here, yet same time power – we can create a coherence within and the more honest we are in our communications within and without, the more “stable” we become also within…. You see, we do take the responsibilities, what is going “wrong”, yet we often tend to give much less attention to what we did right, what is a strength within ourselves etc.
In my last post about August and the energies flowing into September.... there's the "self fulfilling Grandtrine".... Now we will be directed from our heart and mind, to see our abilities or strength through the jeopardized "flow".... because "flow" is always created, as the flow is an effect - so, what effects are we creating.... yes, we may have "not so nice" effects but if we can accept it as exactly that, we can open the "veils" to see beyond that...
If we "allow" - we can see the strength, instead of the lack and concentrate on developing that ability.... it's kind of a "responsibility" we have for ourselves - yet, not in a condemning way but in "understanding", so we know what we want to "develop" and what we want to "dismiss"....
For many its this question of "trust" - can we really trust ourselves, our abilities and try to understand that sometimes we're not reachable through the "nice" but through the "ugly".
Just as we may be able to see a person's beauty in their hearts instead of in their outer form or appearance, we can do the very same with ourselves and whatever comes our way....
As much as there are "blessings in disguise" there are also it's opposite - usually called the "wolf in the lambs wool" or similar... well, I think also wolfs have "good qualities" as an animal or lets say "archetype" and so I don't really like that phrase.... anyhow, the energy I mean is pretty clear I guess, that there are also those situations we think at first it's "nice" and then we see it leads to something else....
Both sides of this coin, can be applied to inner work too - because honesty and being true to ourselves doesn't only mean to look for the "nice" things... yet, please, emotional reactions do not help - neither euphoria nor harsh self-judgment... calm, mature response - a recognition and then the decision "take or leave" ... its very powerful tool too.....
Yeah - the more of those "inner battles" we resolve or dissolve, the easier it becomes and it might help the "global" affairs to change too.... yet, all starts in the small.....

The heavens do tell us stories - there's never just a conjunction or just one month of this or that - in my world, there's no such thing as "coincidence" and when the patterns as they are, so wonderfully working hand in hand and from one "new beginning" to the next within days or weeks those are not "separate"... just as in a book one chapter does go into another as "evolving" even if new Players come in...
From this perspective, you may want to look at the new Beginnings from other months ;-)
Pallas conjoins Sedna at 3°54’4” sid. Taurus on 1st/2nd September 2022
Their last conjunction took place in January 2018 just 2 degrees back at the cusp. Even though their meeting place is very similar, the chart isn’t – back in 2018 they were in a 60° angle from Chiron at the fish-head in sid. Pisces, which has shifted to now being a 45° angle – so a totally different part/task within the cycles…
Now they’re also in a quincunx (150°) from/by Haumea in early sid. Libra (constellation Virgo) and in a 120° angle from/by Pluto in very early sidereal Capricorn.
Pallas as the “creative problem solver” and Sedna the “exiled” (maybe the divine feminine or the soul or both) do work together well – one strategic and clear, the other full of experiences “not of this world” so to speak…

We’re now finishing up the intense self-reflecting, shadow work type of energy in the sense of “letting go”, the need to leave the old behind and to focus onto something new that may not have a concrete form but a feeling, a vibe, a wish ... Yes, it sounds nice yet, letting go comes always with some tension because we also need to accept what is…
We may observe ourselves or in our environment some “clinging” to old patterns (may that now be “nice or not so nice ones”), some kind of “stubbornness” to accept changes. Same time though, there might also be the knowing that things do have to change. So, it might feel a bit as “sitting between the bench and the table” when it comes to the inclusion of our core- or soul wisdom into our strategies and ideas for solutions.
Sedna may have seen betrayal, trauma and all these kinds of things but she built herself a new “home” a new environment … to do so, we may just need to open to whatever possibilities that will show up and embrace them with grace and gratitude – the feminine principle does include the ability to receive, which is difficult for most of us …
Sedna’s orbit is the longest of any so far discovered planet – it’s 11’400 years or so – she will reach her perihelion (closest to the Sun, most influential) in roughly 50 years or so – to her that’s nothing, she’s strong now and we have access 😉
Pallas as the “creative problem solver” does not only by her conjunction with Sedna, yet also with her placement in Eridanus talk about this flow of information, possibility, and ideas etc. – sometimes we need to let go of the thinking, do something else, turn the back to the problem and suddenly we may have an “aha moment” coming up…
Juno conjoins Nessus at 19°52’0” sid. Aquarius on 8th September 2022
Their last conjunction took place on 1st of April 2018 at 11°51’5” sid. Aquarius in approaching opposition to Orcus – now it’s a separating opposition – so, the shift of 8 degrees and the shift onto the other side of the opposition does change the energies of this slow spiraling cycle.
Very important here is the fact, that Earth is in separating conjunction with Juno and Nessus and therefore the Sun is in opposition and separating from Orcus …
There’s more to this chart – you’ll find that a little further down…
Juno is about one to one relationships (also the one with oneself, the divine feminine and masculine, and ratios), what we value and look for in our relationships. Juno is also about equality and acceptance and inner “balance”/harmony.

Nessus speaks of abuse, neglect, abandonment, and denial - our reaction to such situations, more on an emotional level though – sometimes we feel a certain way and when we can clarify it, we find out, it wasn’t meant in such a way at all, an “illusion” which we created ourselves. He’s showing where we tend to victimize ourselves and where we therefore make space for others to “abuse” us. Another perspective of the theme is, where we “neglect” ourselves, or have abandoned abilities or dreams etc. – once we break such habits, we create a whole new life for ourselves…

At the urn of Aquarius, we speak about flow that is produced by working “hand in hand” and one supports the other – it’s also about social activities and the natural law and order.
Orcus represents the awareness and awakening to our own life purpose and soul oath. Orcus belongs to the “Plutonian bodies” and is in relationship with Neptune as well as Pluto and therefore speaks of greater evolutionary cycles, awareness, and consciousness. Orcus is “silent” – Pluto is “loud”. Orcus, the inner knowing and realization and living those realizations – integrity and authenticity for the greater good of oneself and therefore also for the greater good of All.

The Earth – Sun axis is about the roots, foundation, nature or environment, the “home”/ playground for the Sun’s self- expression, radiation, experience, presence, the present …
We’re not only dealing with a “simple” conjunction or new cycle, yet with oppositions as well, which means points of conscious awareness, high visibility, or presence…
We’re individually becoming very aware of the flow we create within self and our environment. Become aware, through the information gained during our life and experiences (also the ones that might have felt “back braking”) but we have same time this sense of “moving on”, this forward motion that says “if I stay here and wine, nothing will change” …
There’s ALWAYS FLOW – if we perceive it as a nice one or not – we can’t change the outcome, we can’t change other people yet, we can change ourselves and with that we may change everything around us (because of changed perception).
Furthermore, there’s the separating conjunction of Mars with Eris in very late sidereal Pisces as well as a separating conjunction of Mercury with Pluto in very early sidereal Capricorn. Venus is very strong (many aspects and she just passed her perihelion and Neptune’s northnode) in Cancer.
When I look at this all, I guess over the next years we’ll be working a lot on bringing that “hand in hand” working to a next step – it also means the masculine and feminine parts within us.
We may experiment a little, try to be in that harmony in order to create the flow we like. We’re asked here to keep that open mind and heart, to look at the details presented. We’re All getting these “little hints” – it’s different for each of us, how they present themselves – might be little things, like certain tones, jumping curser (with me very often), a smell, the natural world as plants and animals or whatever as it depends the environment, yet also dreams contain information and of course our interaction with other people …
There’s always flow, always interaction, always communication – many of us know that, have been “experimenting” already and are asked to be ready for a next “jump”, to act on whatever “revelations”, insights we may be presented with …
In my last full Moon post, I was talking about the trust into self – now Venus is showing this “readiness” too, asking to slowly leave the nest towards the “big, big world” … There are the dreams we have at night which most people can’t “control”, yet, there are also the dreams we have during our waking hours, the daydreams etc. – what do we dream about for ourselves and the world?? Can we stick to our dreams and walk towards them, even if it’s in “mini-steps” or even if it seems “impossible”?? What would you dream the world to be and what does that tell you about yourself – but careful, be honest to yourself …
These two conjunctions, in my opinion, will bring highly creative and transformative experiences – maybe not always easy ones and not always those we would have wanted but whatever it is, it might just be necessary for the greater good … Yet, for many of us it also means “harvesting” in the sense of direct answers and with those bigger or smaller answers, we become more and more secure and trusting…
Much Love to you All,
Fran
