Welcome to STARPATHZ.
Autumn News
Greetings to all, I hope each one of you get out and enjoy the last days of summer. I'm on the East coast until September 8, where the early mornings and evenings are beginning to have that pre-fall nip in the air, how beautiful.
I've had a wonderful trip and enjoyed visiting with all.
I'd like to encourage those of you that are drawn to Sedona to join me for my trip to Sedona, October 16-20, 2008. With travel being more and more challenging, this will probably be my last trip to this area. It's been a wonderful experience to share with all of you but all good things must come to a completion and I'm sensing that this might be the time. Please call me if you're interested. I'm honoring the early bird cost until September 15th.
I'll be back on the West coast by mid September, I'll send out an email if I schedule another trip back East before years end. Many Blessings to each one of you as the wheel of the year turns onward.
Peace and Light

Late August through September
Discipline and responsibility are the themes for the last week of August and first week of September as Saturn joins the new moon (7 Virgo)on August 30. When Virgo hosts the new moon each year the trend for the following 2 weeks is one for practical matters like work, diet and firness. The Saturnine influence will stress the restrictive aspect so this is an ideal time to quit smoking, set up new diet and fitness regimes and balance the budget. If you've been looking for a job & experiencing delays and keep hearing ,"call back in September", don't fear the wheels are getting ready to move forward after the 8/30. On a personal level think about where you want to 'cut back' and set up a plan for the first 2 weeks of September. Jupiter (luck, expansion, excess, growth) supports Saturn ( work,concentration,responsibility,duty ) with a trine aspect ( easy, flowing, helpful)now until mid December, promising that hard work now will pay off later. If you can take advantage of this planetary duo in earth signs, it's sure to bring you results in the material and physical realms. It's also a wonderful time to redo your professional wardrobe.
The personal planets Mercury, Venus ( til 9/24) and Mars transit Libra all month placing the accent on relationships and partnerships. On September 11, Venus and Mars join together for their once a year conjunction at 14 Libra. When Venus (feminine principle) and Mars(male principle) join they create a new relationship pattern for approximately the following 12 months. In the cardinal air sign Libra the focus will be on creating harmony by balancing our needs with those of our partners. In love relationships romance will become more important so plan activities that will allow you and your partner to share private moments, have fun and increase your intimacy. I would expect this year to be one when significant relationship decisions are made.
On September 15, the full moon at 22 Pisces is joined by Uranus, so expect the unexpected this week! Several days later, Mercury (ME) turns retrograde(rx) on 9/24 through 10/15 in the air sign Libra. When a planet turns rx it doesn't manifest itself in its normal manner, hence the bad reputation of the ME rx time periods. With Mercury ruling among other things communication, transportation, contracts, reservations one can see the potential aggravation of planning trips, signing contracts, buying vehicles etc within this window. What I've found is that things started anew in this time period have to be redone or have delays attached. Places REvisited, contracts and negotiations REstarted seem to work out better. So try to get new plans moving before 9/24 or wait until after 10/15 to intitate. The ME rx is a time of turning inward to reflect on our lives path and therefore is good for meditation and psychic work. Because ME conjuncts Mars (energy, action, independence) almost all month, there might be a slight assertive tone to conversations and in some cases people can get argumentative, so avoid volatile situations especially around the time of the full moon. If you're making important life decisions it's best to wait til after 10/15 because we often change our minds when the ME rx falls in air signs, after it turns direct we just see things differently. This will be an interesting dynamic affecting popular opinion the month before the Presidential election.
We are all now experiencing the last weeks of Plutos transit through fiery Sagittarius where it has stimulated excessive behaviors of all types for many years. Runaway debt, religious extremism and inflated expectations are going to morph into a more conservative practical approach to life when Pluto enters earthy Capricorn on November 11 2008. Pluto operates in a two step manner, tear down and then build up, mimicing the archetype of the Pheonix that rises from the ashes. This can manifest as one major event that changes your whole life or a series of smaller ones that produces the same type of transformation, if not in a more subtle manner. What's put into transition is that which has outgrown its usefulness. Whatever astrological house Pluto is transiting in your nat al chart expect this theme to play out, and especially if you have early planets (1-3 degrees) in the cardinal signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and Libra. The best way to embrace this dynamic cosmic energy is to let go, don't fight change or it will be a very challenging time. Capricorn represents the established order of things in our lives and is said to rule governments, infrastructure, corporations and that which we've believed to be permanent. I would expect many changes in areas of the political social corporate fabric that we've taken for granted, hopefully the transformation will be a gradual one. Get out and enjoy the last days of summer and have a wonderful Autumn.
