Celestial Forecast for Sept. 19-25
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 here. 9/20, 12:34 pm - 2:55 pm (Cancer) 9/22, 9:23 pm - 9:57 pm (Leo) 9/24, 10:40 pm - 9/25, 12:51 am (Virgo) 9/25, 5:09 pm - 9/27, 12:52 am (Libra)
9/21 (Wed). With Leonine Mars quincunx Chiron, you can refine your creative expression, possibly with the help of a mentor. Positive adjustments in the realm of exercise, athletics and sexuality are also supported. You can fine-tune how you connect with Spirit with the Virgoan Sun quincunx Neptune. (Here's the fastest and most powerful DIY technique I know!) Your ability to be of divine service, even if it's just asking Spirit to flow light through you to serve someone's highest good, is also enhanced.
9/22 (Thu). Jupiter's quincunx to Venus can highlight whatever needs your attention in the area of relationships, creativity and finance.
9/23 (Fri). Celebrate the Fall Equinox as the Sun enters Libra today at 5:05 AM US Eastern time. Until 10/23, the energy of relationship, creativity, equality, harmony and balance can be harvested. The Fall Equinox chart, which shows the world's dominant energies for the next three months, features a T-square between the Sun, Uranus and Pluto. But this is nothing new: since these seasonal charts are always drawn for the moment when the Sun enters a cardinal sign - and since Pluto and Uranus are spending several years in early cardinal degrees - we can expect still more of the revolutionary transformation that has marked recent world events. You can make the best of this Uranian energy by developing your unique skills and talents, using them for the common good, and following your intuitive flashes. On the Pluto side, continually release whatever impedes your evolution, and routinely embrace the powerful opportunities for transformation that are now so abundant! The Moon and Mars are tightly conjunct in Leo in the Fall Equinox chart, indicating fiery emotions and dramatic outbursts. (Can you say "US politics"?) Use this energy positively by supercharging your activities with enthusiasm and making time to celebrate! Venus and Saturn are conjunct in Libra. This will give necessary reality checks to all important relationships, letting you see which ones need to be released or adjusted. It also indicates strong working partnerships, emphasizing the Aquarian ideal of working with others instead of going it alone. Finally, in this Fall Equinox chart, Virgoan Mercury is conjunct the Sun. This not only emphasizes the importance of communication in these critical times, but reminds us to be clear, precise and service-oriented in our thinking. Also today, it's easier than usual to act on your intuitive flashes with Mars trine Uranus. And with Mars in flamboyant Leo, you can strut your stuff for all you're worth!
9/24 (Sat). You can make adjustments to support the health of your body and your relationships with the Libran Sun quincunx Chiron. Mental confusion is possible with Mercury quincunx Neptune, but so is clear intuitive guidance. It all depends on how clear a connection you've developed with Spirit!
9/25 (Sun). Mercury is in Libra today through 10/13, paving the way for harmonious thinking that can understand all sides of an issue. Relationships may also be more on your mind! The Libran Sun also opposes Uranus today, opening the door for paradigm shifts and intuitive flashes in your relationships and creativity.

"Heal and Awaken" Workshop Sat., Oct. 15 in Asheville
New title, plus new half-day option!
Benjamin will lead a "Heal and Awaken" workshop (formerly titled "Become Your Own Shaman") on Saturday, Oct. 15. Participants may choose a half-day workshop from 10 am to 1 pm, or a full-day immersion from 10 am - 5 pm. It will be held at Crystal Visions, five minutes from the Asheville airport.
Tuition for the half-day option is $44, or $33 thru Sept. 30. The full-day immersion is $77, or $55 thru Sept. 30. (Half-day participants may purchase the second half for $33 extra during the lunch break, space permitting.) Satisfaction guaranteed: anyone who is not pleased with the workshop will be entitled to a full refund.
The workshop will focus on simple, potent invocations for self-healing, spiritual awakening and channeling energy to others. Large- and small-group processes will be included. Individual work between Benjamin and selected volunteers will be energetically supported by the group.
Group processes will include expanded light body awareness, conscious merging with the Higher Self, and the integration of the light body and physical body.
The guiding principle behind the "Heal and Awaken" work is that a person needs no special skills or training to call in divine healing and awakening. The only requirement is the ability to create a clear, simple invocation.
