Mutual Relief Initiated
You may have noticed that last week’s GZN included 8 days, ending on Wednesday September 24th. I observed a holiday on Tuesday and Wednesday. Therefore, this week we begin on Thursday.
Overview
A long-lasting Grand-trine configuration in air signs helps to instill a can-do attitude with a will to bring some issues to a speedy resolution and could counter some of the effects of the month’s long minor Grand-trine configuration of the outermost planets. The Moon in Scorpio is joined by Mars, the Sun ingress Libra at the eclipse. Mercury, ruled by Venus in Virgo in mutual reception, seems to lighten the load for the workaholic minded. An interval to enjoy your work or maybe take a short vacation. Venus and Mercury in mutual reception, work well together. Uranus retro and Pluto retro in a close trine aspect, sextile aspect to Neptune for a long-lasting scenario out of personal control. There could be, at last, success in modifying the negative effects of this persistent pattern of a fateful situation.
Summary of major and minor aspects of the week
Thursday September 25th — The Grand-trine major configuration in air signs, accompanied by a Yod formation, indicates a rapidly changing scene. The Sun in Libra and Moon in Scorpio disposed of by Pluto and Mars, with Mars in Scorpio, could indicate a scenario of revenge, a will to get even, or more than even, to punish opponents. Mars separating square aspect to Pluto indicates that suppressed anger may erupt. The Moon in Scorpio makes a harmonious sextile aspect to Venus in Virgo in the early morning US time zones, mid-morning hours in UK, EU, and ME locations, emotional responses may be acted on. The Moon sesquiquadrate aspect to Ceres signifies a fortuitous event related to hostages, or others in captivity, such as a prisoner exchange. Mercury in Libra separating opposition aspect to Ceres and Venus in a mutual reception with Mercury, indicates an intense effort to find a solution to the hostage crisis. The Sun is doubly separating opposition aspect to Neptune retro in Aries, and Saturn in Pisces separating conjunction aspect with Neptune. Uranus retro and Pluto retro are partile trine aspect and both are sextile aspect to Neptune, as the holding pattern maintains its grip.

Friday September 26th — The intense Scorpio Moon trine aspect to Jupiter pre-dawn US time zones, later morning in the eastern hemisphere, indicates a successful retrieval. That is, hoping for the best in the least best of all possible worlds. The Moon quincunx aspect to Chiron retro in Aries also seems to indicate a daring mission, while sesquiquadrate aspect to Ceres retro in Aries. The Moon transits to a trine aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces. Venus in Virgo is doubly approaching quincunx aspect to Ceres, as hope for a successful release is rising. The minor grand-trine configuration of the outer planets continues. Very few people could make a significant adjustment in this reality. Moon ingress to Sagittarius 21:38 UTC; 17:38 EDT; 00:38 EEDT, Saturday morning, trine aspect to Neptune retro in Aries; opposition aspect to Uranus retro in Gemini; sextile aspect to Pluto retro in Aquarius, could indicate a judicial effort to reject radical powers. The Moon is then sextile aspect to the Sun in Libra as momentum gains in the developing cycle to implement a response to the New Moon eclipse transformative events.
Saturday September 27th — The Moon in Sagittarius makes a square aspect to Venus in Virgo, followed by a trine aspect to Ceres retro in Aries. Introduction of children’s preventative diet could save their future health. Ceres is in an opposition aspect to the midpoint of Sun and Mercury in Libra. A fleeting mystic rectangle configuration forms pre-dawn US time zones, mid-morning in UK, EU, and ME zones. The Moon in trine aspect to the midpoint of Neptune/Ceres retro in Aries, the Sun doubly separating trine aspect to Uranus retro in Gemini, when the Moon is sextile aspect to the Sun, Uranus in Gemini sextile aspect to Neptune retro in Aries. While is could be activated in some circumstances for some people, the aspects are too wide to be of a significant impact fin general.
Sunday September 28th — The Moon in Sagittarius is sextile aspect to Mercury in Libra as a possibility emerges to develop a plan for recovery. Then, the Moon in a quincunx aspect to Jupiter in Cancer implements skill necessary for expanding education as well as preserving life. The Moon trine aspect to Chiron retro in Aries indicates the need to acquire the essential ingredients for revival. The Moon makes a square aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces, as strict measures need to be applied to ensure a favorable result.
Monday September 29th — The Moon ingress Capricorn 09:56 UTC; 05:56 EDT; 12:56 EEDT with an immediate square aspect to Neptune retro in Aries, possibly a remedy for a political cure, or a rescue mission. A quincunx aspect to Uranus retro in Gemini may draw on an innovative plan, and with the sextile aspect to Mars in Scorpio sets the complex plan in motion.

Tuesday September 30th — The Sun in Libra doubly approaching opposition aspect to Ceres retro in Aries, seeks to liberation, as the Moon makes a T-square configuration with square aspects to both Ceres retro and the Sun, at the first quarter Moon phase, possibly initiating a deeper crisis, pre-dawn US time zones, morning hours in Europe and ME time zones. The Moon transits to the trine aspect with Venus in Virgo for the execution of a carefully planned operation. Expertise combined with vigilance results in success. Overnight, US time zones, morning hours in the eastern hemisphere, the Sun is partile opposition aspect to Ceres retro in Aries, with Mercury in Libra square aspect to Jupiter in Cancer, and the Moon in Capricorn opposition aspect to Jupiter in Cancer, square aspect to Mercury in Libra for a T-square configuration, and a short two hours later square aspect to Chiron retro in Aries, a grand cross configuration in cardinal signs indicates extreme pressure to achieve results in several situations simultaneously, possibly at cross purposes. However, the T-square configuration with the Mercury square aspects to Jupiter and the Moon occurs earlier, the subsequent T-square configuration with Chiron square aspect to the Moon is later. The effective T-square and the Grand-cross configurations may not materialize, remaining insufficient or not at all, as the square aspect from Chiron to Jupiter remains wide. A successful maneuver is followed by counter measures that fall short of expectations.
