**A note about aspects. The following list gives you the day the aspect is mathematically exact, but effects are often felt a day before or a day after. With very strong aspects, such as Stations or Eclipses, we may see events several days before exactitude and later when other planets re-trigger those marker degrees. Aspects affect you personally the most if they connect closely to planets or points in your chart. Contact your astrologer for individualized interpretations.

Quote of Note: “There is a vitality, a life force that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost.” — Martha Graham
Note: Venus Leo comes into range again at the end of September to form an inconjunct (150deg.) aspect to the sextile (60deg.) between NeptuneRx/Pisces and PlutoRx/Capricorn. This configuration is called a YOD or “Finger of God.” Venus/Leo is at the far midpoint of the sextile and becomes the pointer/apex planet to focalize and emphasize collective energy in the direction of Life, Love, Fun, Individuality, Children, Creativity, Heat, Romance, Balance, and Justice, positive Relationships, etc. In other words, what all of us need to feel as though we are living a joyful authentic, self-determined life, free from unnecessary external constraints. Venus is dramatic and this YOD points out when ego compromises its best values. This brings the courts and the law into focus too. Mars in Libra (still ruled by Venus/Leo) also comes into range as the apex of a YOD at the very end of the month. It’s inconjunct the sextile between UranusRxTaurus on one end and NeptuneRxPisces on the other. The connection to Venus continues but brings unexpected and complex events in relationship matters of all sorts, including legal.
