Major astrological events: 

• Full Moon in Pisces + Partial Lunar Eclipse on September 17th (Today!): This incredible cosmic event will push us to embrace change and release fear, reminding us that we are limitless. 

• The sign of Pisces is all about pushing boundaries, introspection, and going with the flow. Think of the two fish swimming aimlessly in the sea, they cannot be contained and they go wherever life takes them. Pisces is also associated with the planets Neptune and Jupiter and is the default ruler of the 12th House in astrology, one of the more complex houses that deals with the unconscious mind, the unseen/unknown, dreams, visions, spirituality, isolation, and endings. 

• As we transition from Summer to Fall, we are called to address our subconscious thoughts and feelings so that we too can transition to the next chapter of our lives. 

• During this time, relationships and dynamics could shift resulting in endings, but it’s important to remember that endings just mean the beginning of a new cycle. Neptune, one of the rulers of Pisces, is associated with deception, delusion, and illusions. Now could be a wake-up call for those who have been reluctant to see situations for what they truly are. 

• Lunar nodes get activated by Eclipses. In astrology, the Lunar nodes are the points in the sky where the Sun and the Moon cross paths. In the birth chart, the North Node sign and house placement represent the energy we are here to experience more of and to master, whilst the South Node represents the sets of experiences our soul is comfortable with.

• All eclipses in 2024 fall along the Aries/Libra nodal axis (North Node in Aries, South Node in Libra), bringing themes of pursuing independence and asserting ourselves to the forefront. 

Astrology concept of the week: What are the four angles in the birth chart? 

• There are four angles in the birth chart: The Ascendant, the Descendant, the Imum Coeli (IC), and the Midheaven (MC.) 

• The Ascendant, or Rising Sign, is the zodiac sign that was ascending on the Eastern horizon at the moment of one’s birth. It begins the birth chart and is therefore found in the first house. The Descendant is opposite the Ascendant and is found in the seventh house. It is the point setting in the West at the time of one’s birth.  

• Each angle gives insight into four important areas of our lives. 

• The ascendant=who we are/our identity, the descendant=all types of relationships, the IC=where we come from (our inner world, private life, home and family), and the Midheaven=Our career path, reputation, and public image. 

• The IC can also show us about a person’s mother or maternal figure, while the MC can show us about their father/paternal figure.
