Sept 9 2009 aka 09-09-09

Sun and Mercury are both closing in on Saturn, setting the stage for quite a week next week, if it is not already quite a week this week. Venus is well within the orb of opposite Jupiter, and for all intents and purposes, is actually sweeping opposite the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio. But the likely flavor will start quite nice, as Venus/Jupiter transits are among the most pleasant. So, in the midst of the rather heavy grand cross of changes (see prior posts), soon to be the T-square of upheaval, there are opportunities to anchor, to remember that sharing, expressing coherence and love are the highest expressions. Today, Moon in Taurus will be square Venus early on, and sweeping square the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio through the whole day. She will also be trine The Sun and Saturn. Likely takes center stage attention away from the heavier stuff of the grand cross. Besides, who could resist adding some kind of significance to the only 090909 in our lifetimes? Although there may be a bit of a relentless drive in the air today, it also is a drive to connect and share.
