The Moon in Gemini transits beyond the heavy retrograde planets occupying half the celestial sphere, and transits toward Venus in Leo arriving on Monday (September 11^th). The trine aspect to Mars on September 6^th becomes a sextile aspect next Monday, indicating that you must now work for results. The Moon in Leo is square aspect to Jupiter retro in Taurus on Monday, as friction develops. Virgo, in its own sign is the final dispositor. The Sun in Virgo is disposed of by Mercury also. Mars in Libra is disposed of by Venus in Leo, Venus is disposed of by the Sun, the Sun disposed of by Mercury retro in home sign Virgo.
