I’ve done the charts for both the Full Moon and the Autumn Equinox as they are only 2 days apart and yet have different emphases. Both of them have an easy flowing trine aspect in air signs emphasizing a time of powerful communications. The Full Moon chart shows unexpected secrets emerging as does the chart for the Autumn Equinox but the Full Moon is only in effect for a month whereas, the Autumn Equinox Chart is in effect for the whole fall season up until the Winter Solstice.

The Full Moon has the Sun in Virgo, sign of organization, hard work and service-also healing. It is opposed by the Moon in spiritual, dreamy Pisces next to its ruler, Neptune, further emphasizing the mystical aspect. The Virgo Sun is conjunct Mars indicating hard work being done and help from a partner since Mars is in the sign of Libra. It’s definitely a time to organize and make plans for the future but also good for meditating and tuning into your inner guidance for the next steps in your life’s journey. This is particularly true for people who have a major planet such as Sun, Moon or Ascendant in one of these signs.

The grand trine in air signs indicates disciplined communication can be happening now since Saturn is involved. It’s important to establish boundaries. The trine between Mercury and Jupiter on both charts suggests it’s an excellent time for communication in relationships.

There will probably be unexpected revelations in relationships indicated by the t-square between Venus, Uranus and Saturn.

As usual, I have done the charts for Washington, D.C. On the Full Moon chart aggressive Aries is the sign on the Ascendant but is opposed by mercury, the communicator in the sign of Libra symbolizing relationships and in the 7th house of relationships. I think this indicates a strong announcement by the President which is tempered by those around him. Mercury is in a positive trine aspect to Jupiter in the 11th house of groups and humanitarianism. This should indicate that the group consensus will prevail perhaps indicating a compromise on the spending bills.

On the chart for the Equinox, Mercury is in a difficult t-square aspect with Pluto and the Moon suggesting there could be very challenging and emotional communications going on with the president and congress but could lead to some important compromises. With Capricorn on the ascendant, things should be clearer and more organized after too many deaths in Afghanistan.
