“Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness, concerning all acts and initiative. The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.” Goethe

Saturn, the planet of rules, boundaries, tradition and discipline is  highlighted at the time of September’s Full Moon, Monday 9/24 at 10:52 PM EDT  at 2 degrees of the fiery sign, Aries.

With Saturn’s influence this Full Moon can be a time when limitation is felt more strongly and progress may feel blocked or hindered. If so it is wise to slow down, be patient and clarify commitments going forward.

Saturn continues to  align favorably with Uranus- the planet of the future. This aspect bodes well for innovation in thinking. Leave the door open for thinking of old challenges in new ways. Reframe ideas that seem to have outworn their usefulness.  Its best with Saturn’s stabilizing presence to build a bridge from the old or traditional to the new, rather than making a leap.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is , “A white triangle is seen. It has golden wings.”

“We must create an environment in which change enlivens and enriches the individual and does not overwhelm her.”  Alvin Toffler

“Vesta gathers energy and brings it to a single point, thereby bringing clarity and illumination. Astrologically, individuals with strong Vestas possess the ability to concentrate their energies to a point of focus and bring their full attention to whatever they are doing.” Demetra George 

This week’s astrology is highlighted by the exact square of Mars to Uranus which has been an ongoing theme this year. There can be a strong desire to break free of restrictions under this influence. It has a strong willed, rebellious nature.

It is wise to avoid impulsive actions now and to watch for them on the part of others. It can be more of an accident prone time.

It is a good time to look to areas of your life where you have wanted to make changes for some time – areas of life where there tends to be background noise about  taking  action to move things in a better direction. With Vesta now in Capricorn conjunct Saturn, it’s wise to make a list of steps to take to do this – simple steps that you commit to over time. Vesta is associated with the eternal flame and it is wise as well to commit to keeping an inspired vision as you go forward.

One of the Sabian symbols for the Mars/Uranus square is.”Natural steps to a lawn blooming with clover.”
