Astrology for the Week, September 6, 2009

There is much speculation about this upcoming week, especially with Mercury going and Wednesday being 9/9/2009. Let’s start at the beginning of the week and see what is unfolding.

Mercury goes retrograde on Monday, September 7 at 12:44am until September 29th at 9:13am EDT. Traditional Astrology says that this is not the time to start new projects and that communications will be challenged or slowed down. When we add Law of Attraction to the equation, it means that the challenges that arise stem from our thinking. We have 2 worlds, the inner and the outer. The outer world reflects the inner. Now, don’t start saying, “Oh great, if this reflects me, I am doomed,” and sink into a deep depression. I am aware that you have been doing a lot of inner work. This just means that there still are a few more adjustments “tweaks” that have to be implemented. Mercury also rules technology so back up your computer. In this case, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Now, let’s look at Wednesday September 9. From a numerology standpoint, 9 is the number of social consciousness, philanthropy and idealism. In Astrology, the ninth house is the house of higher education, spirituality and the need to explore and expand the horizons of one’s mind and world. In Tarot, 9 is the number of attainment suggesting that a difficult cycle is nearing its end; that the next step is fulfillment. The ninth card in Tarot is the Hermit. The Hermit is one who walks his/her truth. The Hermit goes forth without a map and only has his/her inner shining as a light. If you add up 9/9/2009, you get 11 which is a master number. That breaks down into 2, the number of balance. The 11 simply makes the need for balance stronger. So if we put this all together, Sept. 9 is a time when people must walk their talk about spirituality, integrity and unconditional love. It is a time to find balance in one’s life and world. It also signals an end to a difficult period of time, if one is willing to walk in the dark without any maps or guidebooks. Remember freedom means no agenda and that also means no guarantees.

The moon is void this week 3 times. This is similar to mercury being retrograde, so these void of course moon periods will just make communication, travel and technology difficulties more emotional. You won’t just be swearing under your breath, you will be out and out screaming at your printer that jammed just as you are finishing an important time sensitive project.
Monday, 9/7 8:13pm to 9/8 6:18 am EDT
Thursday, 9/10 3:17 am to 12:17 pm
Saturday, 9/12, 7:31am to 4:20pm EDT

The cards that I pulled for this week are:

Take Your Power Back: The only reason why you are experiencing events such as financial, health or relationship problems is that they are what you are afraid of. As long as you are afraid, you are feeding the problem. Take back you power. Tell the universe that you can handle anything that it throws at you and that you will be happy no matter what happens. Ground yourself and feel the strength in side of you. Stand firm and tell the universe to bring it on. It only affects you because you react to it. Trust me, I understand that you don’t want to experience any of this but this is the big test you came here to complete. Break the cycle by breaking your emotional tie to it. Then you will be free.

Guardian Angel and Archangel Michael: I thought that it was interesting that I pulled 2 protection cards. This means that even though you feel as if you are alone and out on a limb, you are being protected and guided. While you mind tells you that you are absolutely crazy, sit quietly and feel the protection all around you. You are safe. Just remember Gertrude “Gertie” Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel. The conditions were very adverse. Gertie couldn’t see where she was because of the storm. She began coughing and her trainer told her that she had come out. She yelled back, “What for?” and ended up finishing her quest by beating all previous records by 2 hours. You are in the choppy seas. You are exhausted. You can’t see where you are or where you are going. You are being guided. You have to go on. You are so close to getting what you want.
