The Fall Equinox has arrived. For about a day, the planetary species fall into harmony amidst resonant airwaves flowing from the Equator to the Poles. Earth's tilt is balanced with the Sun, as the Sun moves into 0 degrees Libra and seems to hover over the Equator. Tune in carefully! This is the ideal moment to consider your current path in light of the larger field, the collective mind. If only you could see how your thoughts create your world, you would cleanse your mind and clarify your feelings with positive thoughts based on responsible intentions.

Let's recall your spring 2009 intentions. If they have deepened and matured during the summer, now the moment has arrived to balance them with everything else in your life. So, how are you doing with this year's creations? Is there one or another that does not seem to be happening? If so, should you drop it or find a new way to look at how it could come into your life? What could you do to balance things in your life so that creating this intention can happen? For most people, the early fall is an industrious time, as jobs begin and children go back to school. Perhaps your intentions have been happening in subtle ways, and now they are ready to become more dominant in your life? What matters is to activate new habits or patterns this fall sometime before the Winter Solstice. The chart for this Fall Equinox is very active, so during the fall, many latent ideas may suddenly just pop into form.

Newly direct Pluto in Capricorn exactly squares the Sun in 0 Libra, a resounding announcement that the deep structural change processes are in gear again. Pluto turned direct on 9-11-09, a thought-provoking series of numbers since 9-11-01 symbolizes the first dimension, and 9-11-09 the ninth. On 9-11-09, the US Coast Guard staged a practice response to a feigned attack on the Potomac right near where Obama was speaking at Arlington National Cemetery. This stunt was broadcast by CNN as a potential terrorist attack, just to make sure Americans endured their daily dose of fear! Uranus in Pisces widely opposes the equinox Sun, putting Pluto into the top of a T-square to the Sun/Uranus opposition. Thus, spiritual solutions will play an important role in the changes this fall, since Capricorn is one of the most spiritual signs in the Zodiac. The goat is relentless and has the fortitude to climb mountains to attain his goals because the Sun/Uranus tension activates the structural power of newly direct Pluto in Capricorn.

Basic structures in our world are being radically reformulated while Pluto is in Capricorn from 2008 to 2024. Since Pluto exactly squares the Sun during this Fall Equinox (which occurs right after the third Saturn/Uranus opposition on September 15), this fall is the real beginning of the great changes on Earth. Understanding the themes of the 2008-10 Saturn/Uranus oppositions offers much insight into how events may play out, so I will take a moment to discuss this again. Recall that the first opposition was November 4, 2008, exactly when Obama was elected, so we can be sure he is a theme on his own as the first black American to be president. Going back to the previous Saturn/Uranus oppositions in the mid-1960s, anger against racism and war was coming from youth and the radical left, and Obama's election has been somewhat of a resolution for them, except that he continues on in Afghanistan. Now, we are in the middle of the third Saturn/Uranus opposition and in the US we are seeing late-summer demonstrations by conservatives against universal health care and expanding deficits. Thus, I think the anger is coming from the radical right in America this time. They got what they wanted during the Bush/Cheney reign-war and protection for America above all else, and easy money-and now they feel Obama is taking their money and protection away; we may be seeing the seeds of a conservative revolution in the States.

Meanwhile, the great financial shakeup from 2007 until now was merely a precursor quake that gave the people in power a chance to grab more of the people's money. I will read this chart looking for aspects that can help us each see how we can best play our roles in this grand endeavor. After many years of celebrating all four seasons, I've noticed the equinoxes open multidimensional portals, while the solstices help us focus our practical work in 3D. The seventh dimension (7D) is especially available during the equinoxes because 7D is the dimension of sound (and light) frequencies that create realities in 3D. There is great potential to restructure our world in positive ways right now because this is a good time to ask for spiritual guidance, which will be very available.

Our guide for harmony is Venus in early Virgo, which elegantly trines Pluto in Capricorn. This receptive and earthy trine from the goddess emphasizes the importance of feminine agreement when society transforms. This is interesting because there has been little feminine support for war as the dominant tool for societal control during the last 5,125 years; women have barely tolerated men's war games. Venus in Virgo is healing and grounded, and her trine to Pluto suggests that feminine guidance will play a major role this fall as the reeling colossus-America as empire-unravels and collapses. This trine will inspire many people to consider their true values, especially when they lose their homes and income, while the empire sends more troops off to unknown lands, as if they are the disposable elements of overpopulation.

The Moon in Scorpio is very heavily aspected during the Fall Equinox, which means we are really going to feel the changes this fall. In fact, feelings will dominate everything soon, and feelings are usually what break down mind-control programs. In the past, humor was often the first element to break down unwanted patterns, yet nothing is very funny right now amidst the carnage and pain. Mars in Cancer trines the Moon, insuring that strong and watery feelings will be very dominant during a great emotional wave of consciousness that will flow while old worlds pass away. Saturn conjunct Mercury retrograde in 25 Virgo sextiles the Moon. The great emotional depth of the Moon in Scorpio will be supported by intelligent control and full awareness of just what is happening. Uranus in Pisces is in close opposition to stalwart Saturn/Mercury; the third opposition just occurred on September 15, and the high degree of stress in world societies continues to be worrisome. Yet, during the Fall Equinox, Uranus in Pisces trines the Moon in Scorpio, so on some level, the masses of people will accept the changes that they feel must come.

The Triple conjunction-Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius-closely squares the Moon in Scorpio, and this potent square will set off a great emotional release that will build and build this fall. As the most intense lunar placement, the Moon in Scorpio either destroys everything in its path, or it drives people into integrity by forcing them to seek ethical ways in spite of the inevitable evil, death, and abandonment that accompanies an earthly lifetime. The Moon in Scorpio drives us to face the truth about our selves and others. The square to the Scorpio Moon coming from the three planets in the Triple Conjunction pushes us to face deep wounding and spiritual desolation. It fills some with the desire to improve, others to cry out to the heavens for answers. Perhaps this configuration will finally force people to rebel against this "Age of Flying Body Parts"-a crazy world in which precious resources are used to blow people up. Next, high-tech triage medicine plays on the edge of life forcing damaged bodies to keep on going while families suffer and drug manufacturers play golf with the doctors. The world has moved into a nightmare zone from which it soon must awake. Perhaps the influence over the next three months of the Moon in Scorpio squaring the Triple Conjunction at this time is what could trigger massive rebellion against the current culture of suffering and death.

Mercury combust Saturn in Virgo, just after Saturn's exact opposition to Uranus in Pisces, screams that awareness and the demand for change will win the struggle, but how? The key is Mars in Cancer exactly quincunx Jupiter in Aquarius, and this aspect is the real pusher in the Fall Equinox chart. As mentioned, Mars in Cancer is very strong and demanding because Cancer is the strongest sign; Mars is the strongest planet, and together they will run with the ball to the end zone. So, this nervous quincunx to idealistic Jupiter in Aquarius will cause people to deeply question destroying the rest of the planet's resources for war and mayhem. Then when Jupiter goes direct on October 14, the forces needed to stop this destruction will kick into gear. I am not alluding to something like an anti-war movement, since the mercenary army has made that impossible. Instead, since Mars in Cancer quincunxes Jupiter in Aquarius, war will end the way it usually does, by financial bloodletting and exhaustion. Maybe people will begin to think about the costs of F-16s, stealth bombers, and Hummers when they are forced to buy florescent bulbs containing mercury that won't fit their old light fixtures.

The lunar North Node has moved into Capricorn where it will be until March 4, 2011, which is just after the opening of the Universal Underworld when we experience the final time acceleration. This assures us that hard reality is settling in now, and only the most practical methods will suffice. The North Node in Capricorn strips away frivolity and waste, forcing us to get back to basics. Yes, what I am saying is: We will see war greatly reduced this fall, or conversely an insane escalation will end up burning itself up in a fiery holocaust. Peace and love in the heart of each individual is going to be the only thing that can help us during this extreme time coming very shortly. Meanwhile, Mars in Cancer will give us strength while we experience the intensity of Moon in Scorpio. This fall is a time when we must see the truth above all else.

The influence of a season lasts for three months, and this chart sets a field in place that has strong influence until the Winter Solstice. As dire as this reading may sound, the turn to a new direction will be a relief. So, as this potent harmonic moves in, move into your heart and visualize peace on Earth and freedom from war and peace for all beings on the planet, and remember to breathe. This is a harmonic designed to move Earth into balance with the universe. The strength in your heart will support those who are directly caught in this insane mess. It is always hard to stop and turn around and go in a new direction, but now is the time.
