A pause. A deep breath. The world turns again.
August was one of the most intense astrological months in decades. Now the pendulum has reached its zenith. For an instant we hang, suspended in mid air. Like the space between breaths, it is a moment full of potential and possibility.
September begins slowly as Mercury continues its retrograde until September 12. A lifestyle that is always go-go-go is a major source of stress and dis-ease; Mercury retrogrades are Nature’s antidote. Quietly sip a cup of herbal tea and focus on the present moment. From that place of stillness, ready yourself for what’s next.
Look out for a flash of insight on September 18 when Jupiter conjuncts Uranus for the second time this year. Jupiter’s realm is hope and optimism, Uranus’ the unexpected and the innovative. Open the windows and let the fresh air blow in: you may be inspired and find the answers you seek.
Balance is restored on September 22, the annual fall equinox. Day and night are equal in length around the time of the equinox; after the equinox, nights grow longer until the winter solstice. Curl up with a good book that uplifts your heart: the season to nourish our spirits is beginning.

My Dearest Friend,
Where is the summer going? Can you believe the ISAR astrology conference in Chicago is only five weeks away? I can’t wait to see you and our other astrologer-friends!
You know I adore Chicago – the restaurants, the planetarium, the museums. My husband was just telling me about the new glass balcony at the Skydeck of the Sears Tower, where you can stand on the glass floor and see 1,353 feet straight down. A news story I read said the idea to build the balcony came from the cleaning staff, who kept having to remove nose-and-forehead prints from the glass windows left by people trying to look down. Someone finally asked, why not?
Thinking of the Sears Tower reminded me of my last visit to the Windy City five years ago. That was just a few days after I found out I was pregnant with my daughter.
As I drove home one morning, I smiled to myself with bemused satisfaction. It was only a few weeks after my husband and I decided to have a baby, but I had a sneaking suspicion I was already pregnant. I wondered: had enough time passed for a home pregnancy test to show an accurate result?
At that moment, a commercial for That ’70s Show came on the radio. The ad played a sound bite from the upcoming episode: “Mommy, Mommy, I think I got Donna pregnant.”
I burst into laughter. Well, that settles that, I thought. I made a detour to the drugstore.
We all experience such magical moments when the Universe spontaneously answers our questions just as we ask them. A lyric on the radio, a perfectly placed bumper sticker, a strand from an overheard conversation, a book that falls open to just the passage we need to hear. These meaningful coincidences are what Carl Jung called synchronicities.
Divination techniques, such astrology, Tarot and the I Ching, are excellent tools for harnessing the power of synchronicities to provide illuminating insights to life’s myriad questions. Even the Cosmos itself has a funny way of answering our questions, when we ask from the right point of view.
What is that point of view? I keep flashing back to the image of the little girl lying on the floor of the glass balcony, overlooking the world with a sense of wonder and delight, and without fear.
Do you think she would leave noseprints on a crystal ball too?
With Love, from Luna
Last Quarter Moon in Aries, sextile Jupiter and Neptune in Aquarius.
