Part 2 - Mars at his Southnode and the Equinox
I see for this time, and “ongoing” a strong link to memory – what has been “veiled” in the depth of the subconscious (individually and collectively) may suddenly rise even more than it already has the last years.
With Mars involved, it might at time feel like a “fight”, not only in the sense of against others but even “against self” – I have learned, to look at things from different angles, and realized, whatever comes up, we’re “ready for it” and can feel honored that ourselves feel to be ready to deal with it. The same is true for the collective…
So, why “fight” against whatever theme that arises as there might be a different way to respond to a situation, even when sometimes memories seem difficult and even painful and as BEING memories, we’re actually not IN it and can therefore make a choice, we can either try to “relive” the situation or we can finally “learn” from it and take whatever it offers as a benefit and closure in the sense of breaking free of it's "programming". (This will be even stronger accessible in October and onwards).
With this, we’re automatically also in the “creative” phase – we can actively do something, even if it’s something simple as “receiving, dreaming, imagining” but from a very different state of being.
Remember, a “shift” is as difficult and sure as the change from childhood to teenage or even adulthood – it’s just part of a process…
Also, I still see the "link" with Kundalini energy (goes under many names) and that can be very "disturbing" if it activates unprepared - yet again, feeling the "honor" might help.
Mars at his Southnode 24°24’55” sidereal Libra a few hours after the Equinox
Mars is our function of activity, will, vitality, the outwards oriented principles and leadership – when he’s at his Southnode, there comes not only a harvest (realizing, revealing energies) but also a discerning energy into play – maybe it’s easiest understood, when thinking of Mars here coming into a “feminine” expression of his “outwards energy” which involves a type of "receiving, recepting, and accepting" energy.
For Earth, during the September Equinox, she breaks through to the “northern declination”, whereas we would see the Sun with a “southern declination” – therefore, we have here like a Southnode and a Northnode the same time (in an equatorial sense, not ecliptic), which is very fitting for the change of season within both hemispheres.
We have an emphasis here onto the theme of on one side we harvest, discern it and “seed” but same time are seeing and experiencing the “sprouting” and the decision of path we have to make there – it’s almost like the discernment of Mars or our actions are mirrored in the “Northnode”.
To me Earth, represents our “incarnate life”, the stage so to speak while same time offering a “grounding” energy.
Equinox September 2025 – the Earth/Moon system conjoins Neptune closely
The Equinox happens with the Earth at 4°38’27” sidereal Pisces (the Sun same degree sidereal Virgo) and Neptune at 5°23’14”, and Saturn at 3°11’43”.
This makes our Equinox “special” and the alignment between Earth and Neptune is even closer during Mars’ stationing at his Southnode…
In my “general Equinox post”, you can find the information for both, sidereal Pisces and Virgo, their “star maps” and more…
Mars circled red at 24°24’10” sidereal Libra.
Mars is in square with the still active Pallas-Chariklo conjunction.
Earth/Moon system, Neptune, and Saturn circled green.
The Location of Mars’ Southnode:
Near the star Zubenhakrabi or better said “Nu Librae” (this star name, has been and is still associated with various stars in Libra) as the designation does become more important for reference.
Nu Librae is one of Libra’s “main stars”, even though it’s not “outlining” the constellation.
Nu Librae is an orange giant star, passed its main sequence part of life and is therefore now burning or fusing helium at its core, producing first Carbon and then Oxygen.
There’s another star even closer to the ecliptic, south of Nu, called 22 Librae – a “master builder star” according its numerology… very interesting when including the symbolism of its spectra as an A-type star and therefore very hot and very “fast” in going through its stages of evolution.
Talking about numerology – “Nu” is the 13th letter in the Greek alphabet and if including “archaic letters’ (dropped from use), “Nu” would be the 14th letter…
I find this a very interesting correlation with the conjunction geometry of Pallas and Chariklo,
I have just talked about in “Part 1” of this September 2025 post. (jump link)
---------------------------------
September 2025 - Part 1
September may become or may ask for more "discernment".
We may "harvest" something in our lives and experiences and we may "trace it back" (when, how did we plant this) - especially when it comes to responses or "solutions" - we may see, more clearly what could work better in a world that is different to the one 100 years ago or even 5 years ago, without "dismissing" any lessons learned but to "consolidate" and to in some ways transforming these into wisdom.
Even though we may think, there's no choice within the physical world as it is, we though have one in what we "nourish as possible or with potential" - there's "young" rejuvenating energy, or maybe "renewable energy" available, yet, becomes "more" when adding the mentioned "wisdom".
Memories that come up, may look "random", but hold information. We have here the chance to resolve issues and to restore strength/abilities. To everything, it's just a question of how we respond - are we staying in the "old", that we have always done, or do we dare to consider something different at least "vibrationally".
On a "personal or spiritual" note - this month connects to Kundalini, the "breath" or waves through the body, the energy flows, the immune system which is more than just that, etc.
It flows through the body and tries to flow where it can, when there's something in the way of whatever kind (especially on the emotional or mental body), it's "felt" and can be even disruptive but it's ultimately the very own guiding system of what needs to be looked at.
Pallas - Chariklo conjunction 12th September 2025
The Players:
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 puts the pieces of information together to find innovative/creative solutions to problems. More about Pallas:
Chariklo works with harmony and resonance, yet, can very well discerns what got "potential" and what not. She stands for outsiders, “refugee”/sacred places and the inner “sacred” space - yet, she's strong as well. More about Chariklo:
Pallas is a great one, providing us with so many ideas and insights, strategies and so on – yet, together with Chariklo, we’re reminded, that our “problem solver” works best, when coming from an “inner sacred space” – when acting from our deep space within, then we’re not only using the intellect but our inner wisdom as well – truly another form of “working” in the outside world or life.
Pallas and Chariklo circled red at 24°52’25” sidereal Capricorn.
Pallas north in the constellation Equuleus and Chariklo in the constellation Aquarius.
They are in a 30° angle (green line) with the Earth/Moon-Nessus alignment at 24° sidereal Aquarius.
Of influence in this chart:
the approaching conjunction of Chiron and Eris in very late sidereal Pisces.
the approaching conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in earlier sidereal Pisces
Uranus in approaching conjunction with Sedna in earlier sidereal Taurus.
Mercury approaching Orcus in longitude in sidereal Leo.
Pallas and Chariklo "cycle history and geometry"
They meet every roughly 5 years.
Their last conjunction was in August 2020 right between Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn (on the other side).
In my cycle studies, I have noticed that either Pallas or Chariklo (or both) do often play quite significant roles in conjunctions.
Their next conjunction will take place in October 2030.
The number 13 is in Western “modern tradition” one that is negatively perceived especially as being “unlucky”.
In yet older traditions, the number 13 is associated with cycles or processes as well as with the feminine and the Moon (13 Moon cycles in a calendar year).
In Tarot the 13th card of "the Death", a symbol for endings and new beginnings, the "letting go process" to make space for the "new" to emerge.
The number 14 is associated with spiritual and physical balance (7+7). When reducing the 14 we get a 5, which is associated with change and humanity or “organic life forms” on Earth in general.
The Tarot card number 14 is “Temperance” symbolizing a “blending” of elements by creating harmony and equilibrium, leading to a “greater” new “whole”.
Having these numbers connected like this, we can also see that they’re describing a process together within the themes of our planetary pair – it’s not one or the other but an interplay.

New Beginnings September 2024
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 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”…
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 believe 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"...

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.
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.
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...
Conjunction Geometry of Mercury and Mars
No 2 on the diagram, is the one we’re now experiencing (“random” choice of the “now times”)…
All together, they meet 7 times during an orbit of Mars around the Sun, yet, it needs an 8th conjunction to bring them to complete the “zodiac wheel” or a little beyond.
With this, a 7 pointed “star” or better said “outlining shape” is created…
I find it interesting, that in numerology, the Seven is associated to spirituality, creation, the “observer” etc. and whatever one personally associates with these terms (belief systems etc.).
The chart of the Mercury – Mars conjunction
As they’re close and near their northnodes, I think it’s interesting to note, that on 25th/26th of October 2023 they met approaching their Southnodes in the constellation Libra, with Ceres a little on the other side of their SN….
This time, on the opposite side in later Aries, we have Uranus nearby.
Venus is approaching their south nodes in this chart – loosely opposite.
Venus connects in a trine (120°) to Earth and Saturn in Aquarius and Mercury and Mars do connect with them via a sextile (60°). Nearby Nessus should not be “overlooked” though.
As all these planets are “entangled” through aspects, so are their themes for us - it's very personal and "core"/ fundamental, which is linked and reflected to the “outer” world….
Mercury and Mars meet near the star Botein of Aries, there are other stars and constellations important for the energies of this area. Together they’re providing forward-orientated action to fulfill any kind of “desire”, which can also be felt as “erupting”. It can manifest as sexual drive, creative action but also as “war-like” energy – depending one’s choice as there is also the energy that talks about the inner need for truth and righteousness (not justice!!!). “War like energy” also means that there has to be an “enemy”, someone or something to blame for what happens. A pattern we’re all very well aware and accustomed to but it’s not really serving one – neither within, nor without.
Venus speaks about our sense of beauty, art etc. and connects our “value system” as well.
An opposition speaks of “integration and a point of awareness” – it’s not always as easy as it sounds as we’re often “fighting” right that. The area she stands in, or is approaching does emphasize on the “letting go”, the “weighing of the heart” in ancient traditions. What is it that we’re holding on to, what is it that is making us heavy.
Uranus is the liberator and scientist (also technology), can show rebellious behavior but also surprising and sudden attributes, can for example personify the “eccentric scientist or professor”. Liberation can also stand for “individualization” or living the “true self”.
An almost conjunction is like the “light” at the end of the tunnel – it’s envisioning energy. Uranus also stands in this very “potent” area of the cuspal area between sidereal Aries and Taurus. He’s emphasizing here on a “bridging” or transitioning quality. His movement over the last years over the northnodes of Mercury and Mars has allowed us to “liberate” something within us, what that means for you personally, you know BEST….
The Earth represents our “playground”, how we anchor our incarnation, grounding, the energetics of the planet and with that the resonances and harmonies we create.
In geocentric view, the Sun would be directly opposite in the constellation Leo and north of Orcus (oaths, promises, life path).
Saturn is about authority, structures, order and law but not only material structures (like our skeleton/body or buildings) but also about societal structures, political structures and structures of our inner life… other key words are commitment, responsibility and to mature… He reminds us, that we build our structures ourselves and need to take on the responsibility in order to live our sovereignty….
Earth and Saturn work VERY well together – structuring and ordering is a theme they both stand for in a little different ways though. Saturn here does remind us, WE the people do structure our society we live in, not only in the outside but also how things go on within ourselves. I always think also of Saturn’s poles – the eye in the storm on one side and the hexagonal shape on the other… They stay at the urn and legs of the waterbearer – the stability we need to make sure we can actually handle the outpouring water…
---------------------
I think, it's important to add some "clarification" here - "letting go" / accepting can be a transformational process, within which we allow the experiences to become wisdom, to "condense it to wisdom"... similar to compress information within our devices to safe storage space...
That wisdom remains, the "need" to repeat the experience though isn't...
This also applies to things we actually like - because there comes a time, it's just not as it used to be and can even become "mouldy" in feel...
It might be especially important to those who belief in a "soul journey" or "continuation" of some sort, because on this level there's no time and no separation...

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.
---------------------------------------
A blessing in disguise
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.....
Much Love to you All,

Heliocentric sidereal conjunctions 09.2022
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,
