The Stars This Week: "Time for a Change" - September 8 - September 14, 2008

Time for a Change

09/08/08 - 09/14/08

This week begins with a harmonious trine between Jupiter and Saturn on September 8 when people in authority or influential positions can be helpful to you. But, a shift in direction is required to maintain your powerbase as intense Pluto turns direct on September 8. Then, the Sun's opposition to the maverick Uranus on September 12 won't let you get away with doing anything the old way as it lights up the sky with the word 'change.'

September 8: Jupiter trine Saturn

Expansive Jupiter and conservative Saturn are the two planets that govern the social and economic world. In a supportive earth trine now with Jupiter in Capricorn, the sign of the builder, and Saturn in Virgo, the sign of the worker, you have all of the ingredients to improve your lifestyle tangibly. Make sure you take advantage by utilizing the individuals and agencies that are ready and willing to support your goals.

September 8: Pluto turns direct

Pluto turned retrograde for the first time in its new sign Capricorn last April 2, requiring that you take a thorough review of how and where you're building your powerbase. (Check your own chart for a specific location). On June 13, Pluto re-entered Sagittarius, and it became important to let go of beliefs that do not serve you anymore. These last few months have seen intensity and power issues ratchet up, and you may have felt that there was a lot at stake. Issues of ethics and morals dominated the dialogue. Now Pluto finally turns direct in this belief-driven sign, and it's time to take what you've learned about yourself and others and make good use of this turnaround time.

September 12: Sun opposite Uranus

If you have a rebellious streak, it will want to express itself with this dynamic aspect! If you are more conservative in your nature, watch out for someone or an event that jars you out of your normal everyday schedule. Each year, at the midpoint of Uranus' retrograde period, we all get the chance to stand back and see if we're being true to ourselves. Change is inevitable, so make it good!

"powerbase" refers to? Never heard that one.

Tomorrow (8th), I do have to ask for some influential support from someone. Hopefully, this is a good time for it!
