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....
23.09.2024 - Hygiea meets Eris in very late sidereal Pisces
22.09.2024 - September equinox
14.09.2024 - Mars conjoins Uranus for conjunction
15.09.2024 - Pallas reaches her most northern point of orbit
4.-6.09.2024 - Mercury and Mars at their Northnodes, and in between meet in conjunction.
I think, the equinoxes are quite special this year and next year with Neptune being near that point of longitude in Pisces.
He adds the theme of the "veils", the nebulous, yet also the clarity to our equinoxes. We might not only be "diving deeper" in our dreams but also feel either confusion or clarity about our lives during these times.
There might be this feeling of not knowing what is "up and down" etc. - when looking at the involved points from various perspectives, that's no wonder...
More in my public post about the equinoxes in general
The chart of the Hygiea-Eris conjunction does include the September Equinox that takes place just 15 hours prior to the conjunction, which is in itself already a “hint”…
I think, there’s on one hand a “letting go/surrender and fly / let happen” kind of energy and on the other hand an “action and will” driven type… nope, that doesn’t mean we’re just sitting on the sofa in total inactivity all day or being in exhausting action all day long as the other extreme. The differences are more subtle – it’s more about the “intention or agenda” that’s behind it all.
“Intention and agenda” are also illuminated, meaning we may gain clarity about those on all levels – we may see “through” the appearance/ face level of things…
I think there’s a lot of “un-bonding” and “bonding” going on – may that now be, that there are situations which we perceive as unfair, disrespectful, dangerous, or simply generally “disruptive” there might be a “hidden message” within, that shows that we may have actually “bonded” ourselves to some mindset and/or action that made this situation “worse” even when our intention was actually “nice”… if we’re able to perceive that, we can simply let go of that mindset / action and no further “response” is needed because we have acknowledged and accepted what was happening and why… We might even become grateful for the situation as like in a “blessing in disguise”…
As Mars is with Sedna during the equinox and the conjunction, this energy is carried with both “events”, indicating “inspired action” – Sedna is from far out there, an energy we can’t really comprehend at times, its something we may have “exiled” from our daily lives… imagination, fantasy, “soul wisdom” etc. – its more linked to what “excites” us and therefore not learned or learnable, its more like it “comes” by “herself”… It also does connect to “trust” because if we receive it, we’re also asked to act on it which may at times go against our “common sense”…
This does apply to “little things” as well as “bigger ones” – whatever one is presented with, one is “ready” for…
Luckily this energy can’t enter, when we’re in a state of victimhood, blame and alike – we may have ideas but they are just within that frame of perception of what we know from the “old”…
I mean, have you ever tried to write, paint or draw something “not seen before” while feeling “useless, unworthy” or anything alike – it just doesn’t work…
Hygiea conjoins Eris at 29°34’17” sidereal Pisces on 23rd of September 2024
Hygiea is about “hygiene” as the name suggests – yet, there’s also an element of purity and “maintenance” included. She doesn’t work only on the bodily or manifested level – there’s the hygiene of thoughts and emotions as well – to cleanse, maintain a certain “state” and even “resilience” in this sense….

Eris is a feminine warrior archetype and brings “disruptive” energies, that shall shed light onto the “reality” of a situation and to see the own truth/ nature. It’s not easy to see and accept the own shadow sides, false beliefs, false teachings – she’s very revealing in this sense because under all these layers of “shadows from the past”, we may find surprising beauty.
Working with Eris requires honesty with self - on all levels and polarities.... As all the planetary bodies beyond Neptune talk about natural universal laws, so does Eris.

Eris is currently approaching her 0-Declination point, which means, she’s near the celestial equator and as that shed’s her energies towards both hemispheres of Earth, even so she’s still slightly south of the equator… (she’ll reach that point exactly in April 2026) …
If you want to know more about Eris’ orbit Astrology, check out my pdf-book available on my "Shop page" …
The Two work in a way, that asks us to keep ourselves pure or clear, maintain a certain maybe “neutral” state of being while those seemingly “disruptive” happenings can flow “through” us in the sense of not “affecting” us in a polarizing way but in one that actually “washes”/ cleanse us from previous cycles / perceptions…
Hygiea and Eris “circled” red – with Chiron just a few degrees away – Hygiea is making the connection between Chiron and Eris “while” Chiron is still in approach…
Hygiea and Eris are in trine (blue line) with Pallas (just was at her most northern point – creative problem solver). They’re also in a 45° angle (red line) with Jupiter (expansion) in the middle of Taurus and a 30° angle with Uranus (liberation) at the Aries- Taurus cusp.
Mars (action) has separated a little from Uranus and approaches Sedna, he does link the Two in a similar way as Hygiea does with Chiron and Eris… Uranus links with Pallas in a 150° angle (longer green line) and closing a little triangle…
The Earth/Moon – Sun axis is just coming out of the Equinox involving Neptune… If we include the geocentric Sun, we see suddenly a Kite / Pyramid configuration appearing - links Pluto, Ceres and Mars, Sedna to our axis of Earth and Sun…
Mercury (communication) is approaching Vesta (inner fire / passion, dedication) in Leo and Ceres (nourishment) is approaching Pluto (transformation) in sidereal Capricorn.
As I do not belief in coincidences anymore, it means “something” that the Hygiea – Eris conjunction takes place only 15 hours after the equinox.
I see the "stability, harmony and flow" of the Kite/Pyramid the equinox is involved as a very important "marker" as there's not only the celestial equator involved but also the galactic polar axis. With Neptune, it means, we can "center" ourselves either on "this or that" side of the "veil" - either way, the energies will flow accordingly - knowing that principle though, can bring that together. It's like the "higher consciousness" can unite with our "incarnate life" with more awareness of it - I got this phrase "bring heaven to earth - bring earth to heaven" into my mind.
I just have sent Birthday wishes to a Friend and I think the wish I formulated does sum up the energies I feel within all of this...
"I wish you all the imaginable "good", plus all that you can't/do not dare to dream and imagine"...
Much Love to you All,

Very "personal" times or "charts" we're dealing with and they also show us, how this got influence onto our "world"....
The connections of the mind-body-action/reaction with our ability to problem solving or to initiate change and transformation...
I have explained a “principle” I see within the Mercury-Mars cycles (mind-body-action) in general further down… jump there...
What opportunities I see in this….
I think everyone who read those first few lines, will see that there’s a lot of potential and that it might be not only “nice and easy” but can "become that" 😉
When there are both “sides” there, we have the ability to feel “into” those situations and “sense” their essence – it can include to gain understanding, and acceptance and same time to be “liberating”…
Often, we have “desires”/wishes that come from an inner feeling/emotion of lack or, are “attached to a “lack response” which can show as a “resistance”/ avoidance to something.
Both situations may have the same “root cause”…
When that is “recognized and understood”, we usually try to find the “root cause” and pull that figurative “weed by the root out”, which though would mean, we “fight” and resist - so instead we can "experiment" with another path that is "inclusive"…
Two experiences of mine for “illustration” (both just this week) – I had to renew my visa, so Immigration… it’s a “two steps process” – so while I was waiting my turn for the first step, they announced that the queue for the second step is already full. Not so long after it was my turn for the first step – I passed it and they told me to go back before 8am the following morning and all of us would be before the “new 1st step ones”. I was very calm about it and thought “hmmm, maybe this will all in all turn out to be faster, than when having a high number the same day”…. For that next morning, I had set my alarm for 5am because I like to take it slow and easy before leaving the house – then I thought, ohh, I go to look the sky – Orion and Sirius were rising in a already slightly lid up sky!!! Guess what – through all kinds of “happenings” that morning, I had a low queue number and was back home around 11am, all very relaxed with even some coffee break in between…
You see, I value time a lot – so, I really dislike waiting or anything I perceive as “waste of time” – and not even a year ago, I would have “judged” the going twice as a “waste of time”….
The other situation this week was different - I had a thought about something that would be helpful and when I locked the door of my house, I had the inner whisper, take those things with you just in case and I told myself “no, I decided otherwise” – oh my – about 1,5 hours later I found out that my “would be helpful wish” couldn’t be fulfilled because of my “stubborn I decided” – nothing too bad happened but I missed an opportunity… Giggles – yet, now I have an example to tell and it may support an even “bigger wish” I have for while already and that became "clearer" 😉
Yes, you read that right, the "wish became clearer" - strange isn't it - yes, because "big wishes" can be like that - nothing that is "bond" to an actual thing.... and with it a lot of "bonding and un-bonding" can take place on the way "there" (wherever that is)...
What is your "dream-wish"!!?? And are you/I/we ready to see some "stuff" go, even if it's challenging or to face whatever "manifests, surfaces" on the way??
Details from "Mercury's path" perspective / correlation...
Mercury/Hermes (communication, collaboration, learning, etc.) is really “running fast” at the moment – he’s rushing with over 6 degrees a day through the constellations Taurus and Gemini (14th of September at Propus io of Gemini and on the 15th almost exact at Pollux, the head of the immortal Twin). By the time he reaches Pollux, he will have slowed a little bit…
So, he just had his chat with Mars (activity, vitality, leadership, etc.), integrating Venus’ attributes (beauty, the arts, values etc.) and carried them to Uranus (liberation, change, suddenness etc.), then on the 7th noted that there’s the influence of Sedna (the return of the “exiled”, imagination and phantasy etc.) lingering south in the constellation Taurus and then makes his way over to Jupiter (expansion, growth, “higher” viewpoints etc.) and has a talk with him on the 8th.
After he travels north of Orion’s shield before he crosses through the galactic equator (Milky Way stream) and after this quick “bath or shower” on/around the 11th he rushes himself "refreshed" through the constellation Gemini…
From the 8th to 10th, the Earth/Moon system is transiting over Saturn to then on the 11th to be with Nessus - the Centaur that is also known as a "ferryman"...
When Mercury/Hermes reaches Propus io (a single old and evolved yellow giant star), there’s same time a chatter going on between Mars and Uranus – I think it’s interesting to note, that Propus iota is together with Pollux and Castor forming a triangle with 2 equal side lengths, meaning, Mercury at this star forms a connection between Castor and Pollux….
This connection is also recognized in the various constellation drawings.
Mercury now moves on to connect directly with Pollux, it’s head or ear (depending the interpretation)… Pollux itself is the Beta star of the constellation Gemini, even though Pollux is brighter than Castor, the alpha star – it’s actually pretty often, that the traditional designation doesn’t match today’s brightness… It’s also interesting to note, that Pollux got a planet orbiting while Castor is a multiple star system.
While Mercury is with Pollux, he’s also in a quincunx (150° angle) with Pallas…..
Pallas most northern point of orbit at the star Rasalhague – alpha star of the constellation Ophiuchus
Pallas circled red ...
The red triangle, is Pallas to Earth in a first square and Earth to Varuna in Cancer a last 135°, Pallas forms a first 135° from Varuna – these numbers are related through the number 8 (360° divided by 8 is 45°).
Pallas is also in a trine (120°) from Chiron, Hygiea and also Eris… Eris is related through angles to all of them too, as she’s at a cuspal area… Hygiea will conjoin Eris exactly later this month...
Mercury stands in a last 150° to Pallas and a first trine from Earth. Mercury is in a sextile (60°) from the Mars-Uranus conjunction and Earth stands in a 60° as well…
Venus moved on a little too – she’s now between the constellations Libra and Scorpio.
Pallas is Jupiter’s “brain child” (Greek mythology) and is of a fearless character. She fights if needed for justice and harmony. She’s intelligent and creative, puts the pieces of information together to find innovative/creative solutions to problems.

Mars is traditionally the “God of war” – innovative, vital and active, also of leadership qualities, how we apply our “willpower”, our inner force. Really a lot of physical and “sexual” energy, the divine masculine principle (can have a lot to do with “protection”). Immature Mars can be very impulsive and if afflicted he can express as “explosive, ballistic” power.

Uranus is the liberator and scientist (also technology), can show rebellious behavior but also surprising and sudden attribute. He can, for example, personify the “eccentric scientist or professor”. Liberation can also stand for “individualization” or to “let go” of stuff by just going “forward”.

Mercury and Mars conjunction at their north nodes in sidereal Aries - near Botein of Aries
Northnodes are like the “Ascendants” of planets in relation to the ecliptic, or let’s say, their orbit (path of action) crosses with the one of the Earth/Moon system… once “ascending” (northnode) and once “descending” (southnode).
Mercury and Mars have their planetary crosses (nodal axis, most south and north) very close to each other, therefore they “work” closely together – when they have a conjunction at any of their “angles”, it’s an important emphasis on the quality of their conjunction.
About 3 weeks ago Mercury was at his most southern point of orbit in late Capricorn (written about in the “August new Beginnings”) and Mars was at his most southern point also in later Capricorn in April this year…
They last met on 28th of May 2024 in later sidereal Aquarius and will next time meet on 9th/10th of December 2024 near the star Mebsuta of Gemini.
Mercury, the “god’s Messenger” is all about communication, in inner (neurological system for example) as well as outer ways, commerce, connecting the outer with the inner world or the gods with man, information, learning.

They always “work together” as we know from their “planetary cross” – for example – we have a system, that moves our body/limbs sometimes even before we know consciously or having given a “command”… have you ever had the situation, when you opened the mouth to say something but closed it again, because we forgot what we really wanted to say or aren’t sure of how to say it?? Or the “classic”, finding oneself somewhere (in another part/room of the home) to then return because one forgot why we went there the first place – often, it suddenly comes back to mind with a little more or less delay….
This is not a disease or something, it just only means we focused onto something else and our body followed an only “brief thought”, or a subconscious “command” – so we were not “HERE, in the now” with our attention…
So, there’s a lot of “programming” involved, which is nothing “bad”, no, opposite actually – it means we have a “perfect” collaboration at work. On the “human, physical, incarnate” level, we’re often challenged with that understanding, even though we actually do use the system every day and we use it consciously when we “learn” something new.
Learning is expanding the system – new synapsis are built in the brain, maybe new “movements” of the body are involved etc., for example, learning to dance or to drive a car or motorbike or as kids when learning to ride a bicycle or how to write etc. At first it seems very hard and a tall mountain to climb, yet, once that’s all put into “place” as “learned”, it’s just used, without further thought – opposite, when you know how to drive and then in a situation start to think about, what you have to do, or when you get a new car where maybe certain things are different, suddenly the driving doesn’t go as smoothly anymore, because we “interfere” with the thinking mind….
It's a principle at work – as that, we do not need to know all it’s details (unless we want to do so), just as we don’t need to be a mechanic, engineer etc. in order to fly/drive/ride and fulfill the basic needs of the vehicle we chose as “transportation tool”…
Just as the car will give “signals” of one or another kind of “problem” within the system’s flow, so will our body or our life in general.
There though, might come the time we do want to "dive deeper" into a theme or "evolve"... yet, sometimes, we're not even consciously aware of having made the choice - then things can become tricky as we may start to "battle" with ourselves, or look for the "manual" of how to do so when in fact the "manual" is ourselves / within...
