Greetings!
Welcome to the corrected Sept. 7 edition of the It's All Good Astrology News.
(I accidentally left last week's introductory remarks in this green box in the first version -- sorry!)
Looks like I should have taken my own comments about being "extra-vigilant regarding clear communication" during Mercury Retrograde (see this week's forecast) more to heart! MRx effects can often be felt with increasing strength, even before the trickster planet reverses course, as it slows down on its approach to its turning point.
In addition to information on the coming week's most important celestial energies, I'm including information about:- Our new "Magnifying Glass" consultation with a more detailed, shorter-term focus, and
- My two online classes beginning this month: Beginning Astrology and Transits & Progressions.
And please remember our September birthday discounts (20% off!).
Enjoy the issue, and thanks as always for subscribing!
-- Benjamin

New "Magnifying Glass" Consultation
 Most of the consultations we do take a long-range view. They focus primarily on the next year, and often look several years out.
However, there are times when a client desires a more detailed, shorter-term focus. This is when the "Magnifying Glass" consultation becomes the service of choice.
We zoom in to scrutinize
a shorter time period specified by the client -- usually
1-3 months. This lets us reveal the workings of the faster-moving
"trigger planets," which show more precisely when important
events are likely to occur. We can also explore
subtler astrological energies which are
left out of a normal consultation due to time constraints.
Since they often take less than an hour, "Magnifying Glass" consultations are charged by the
minute.
(Sliding scale rates: $1.50-$2/minute)
Contact Benjamin or Spiritsong if you'd like to enjoy the benefits of this new offering!

Celestial Forecast for September 7-13, 2009
by Benjamin Bernstein
Whatever your sun sign, this forecast will help you choose how to best use the current astrological energies! Events are most powerful on the dates listed. However, their influence will be active for at least several days before and after. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone.
While everyone is affected by these global transits, you will be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate natal planets and other sensitive points in your birth chart.
VOID-OF-COURSE MOONS. It's best to avoid starting important new projects or making major purchases during these times. "Business as usual" is the best strategy for these periods, which occur when the Moon has made its last major Ptolemaic aspect but has not yet moved into the next sign. Learn more about working with void-of-course Moons here.
9/7, 8:13p -
9/8, 6:18a (Taurus)
9/10, 3:17a
- 12:17p (Gemini)
9/12, 7:31a
- 4:20p (Cancer)
9/7 (Mon). MERCURY
GOES RETROGRADE
today at 12:44 am, and remains in reverse thru the 29th at 9:13 am.
Try to avoid starting major new projects during this time, and be extra-vigilant
regarding clear communication. Travel and technology may experience challenges,
so double-check everything and back up your critical data!
However, this is an excellent
time to finish up things you've already started, and to do serious reflection
and introspection.
Mercury is making hard aspects as it retrogrades - a
square to Mars
and a sesquiquadrate to
Chiron -
so this Mercury retrograde may be more challenging than usual. All the more
reason to heed the cautions above!
9/11 (Fri).
Everything relationship-related, be it new beginnings or troublesome issues
coming to a head, is stimulated today with Venus opposing Jupiter and
biquintiling Uranus. Creativity, performance and ingenious solutions to
relationship issues are also boosted.
With
the Sun quincunx Jupiter, your reach may extend beyond your grasp. Be careful
not to overdo it!
With
Pluto stationing direct, the energy of death-and-rebirth is extremely
potent now. Heal what can be healed, and release whatever has run its course.
9/12 (Sat).
Reality vs. Illusion is a major theme of today's Saturn-Neptune quincunx.
Since these are slower-moving planets, this aspect has been strong since the
last week of August and will stay strong thru the first week of October.
This is an ideal energy under which to take a cold hard look at your
dreams and visions. Weed out the ones that prove unrealistic, then empower the
ones that make the cut with emotionally empowered visualization and sweat
equity. (These two planets embody the Law of Attraction: Neptune represents
visualization and imagination, while Saturn embodies physical effort and
material manifestation.)
9/13 (Sun).
Jupiter adds good luck and optimism to your Law of Attraction work (see
9/12) with a magical, inspiring biquintile to Saturn.
