Agile Inner Mind
MOON meets MERCURY at 25°LIBRA where Harmonious Agility is key!
The constellation for this area of Libra is LUPUS the great celestial wolf. Much like the dragon, the wolf was vilified in times past.
The Wolf is an ancient symbol of hierarchy within the self, the alpha male and female reflecting the personal Sun & Moon.
The Outer & Inner in lead position of the additional aspects. Each aspect with their own unique role within the workings of the pack.
Highly intelligent and very communicative wolves always do their best to avoid conflict. The Sabian picture symbol for this degree:
AN EAGLE AND A WHITE DOVE CHANGE SWIFTLY INTO EACH OTHER.
Ability to easily transition between the higher thought forms of illuminated awareness and pure peace.

Valuable Inner Mission
MOON meets VENUS at 18°LIBRA where Personal Purpose is key!
The constellation for this area of Libra is DRACO the epic celestial dragon that's wound around the great Pole Star of truth.
The Dragon is a longstanding symbol of personal purpose. Like many ancient symbols, the dragon was demonized long ago.
Easy to see the results of vilifying the symbolism found within this archetype. The Sabian picture symbol for this meetup degree:
ROBBERS ARE HIDING, READY TO ATTACK THE HEAVILY ARMED CARAVAN.
Negative attitudes lie in wait with sights set on derailing the strongly protected personal mission.

New Moon of Inner Perception
MOON meets the SUN at 5°LIBRA where the Creative Urge seeks expression!
INNER meets OUTER at the first New Moon of Autumn as we embark upon the fall/winter journey of inner discovery and assimilation.
The constellation for this area of Libra is the great celestial snake SERPENS symbolizing the creative impulse that resides within.
The story of our innate creative gifts and learning of their highest possible use! The Sabian picture symbol for this lunation degree:
IN A TRANCE, A PILGRIM BEHOLDS HIS IDEALS MADE CONCRETE.
The spiritual seeker sees his ideals in brought into physical form through conscious experience of the inner subconscious mind.
Highborn Inner Action
MOON meets MARS at 26°VIRGO where Virtuous Receptivity is key!
Aristocratically highborn! The constellation for this area of Virgo is CORONA BOREALIS the great northerly crown of virtue.
This alignment suggests it's time to straighten that crown and look to the value within! The Sabian picture symbol for this degree:
ARISTOCRATIC ELDERLY LADIES DRINKING AFTERNOON TEA IN A WEALTHY HOME.
A longstanding and highly valued inner approach to partaking of progressive knowledge in the richness of a natural state of mind.

Inner Adoration
Asteroid (4)VESTA Rx at 27°TAURUS where Personal Mastery is key!
Vesta brings attention to the inner flame alight within, providing inspiration to mankind as keeper of the great eternal flame.
The VESTA Rx Mission of Inner Adoration auspiciously begins on Fall Equinox as the Outer symbolically marries the Inner.
Vesta backtracks through the Venus ruled sign of Taurus through Winter Solstice. The Sabian picture symbol for this stationing degree:
MATURE WOMAN REAWAKENED TO ROMANCE ADMIRES HERSELF.
Longstanding and experienced, the inner self comes into new awareness with harmoniously creative adoration.
Fall Equinox 2019
Equal day and night with the realms of the SUN & MOON in perfect balance upon the golden scales of LIBRA.
The SUN enters LIBRA as we transition into the moon ruled portion of the year, following the sun ruled spring/summer half of the year.
The outer lessons through spring/summer, then the marriage of the Sun & Moon at Fall Equinox for the inner classes of fall and winter.
The SUN tours LIBRA 9/23-10/23 as the Outer partners with the Inner for our epic journey inward through the fall/winter half of the year.
Outer Awareness of the SUN shifts from the (mutable) earth realm of analyzation in VIRGO to the (cardinal) air sign of balance in LIBRA.
As the Sun tours Libra, the Moon covers the (cardinal) leadership expressions of all four elements; FIRE, WATER, AIR, and EARTH.
Sacred Inner Release
Half Waning Moon at 28°GEMINI where Conscious Reasoning is key!
A time of Inner Release as the celestial month of VIRGO both began with a Gemini Waning Moon and now draws to a close with one too.
This last lunation of spring/summer leads us into a 9-month intunment where each celestial month begins with a New Moon.
This new intunment lasts from Fall Equinox to Summer Solstice of 2020. The Sabian picture symbol for this lunation degree:
THE FIRST MOCKING BIRD OF SPRING SINGS FROM THE TREE TOP.
Our own sacred song and innate abilities are harmonized anew from the higher levels of inner existence.
With this is the last (mutable mode) lunation of Virgo Season we see the agile maneuverability throughout the whole celestial month!
Inner Release for 7 more days, leading up to the Libra New Moon. In perfect celestial time, the Half Waning Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon.
