🌞 Autumn Equinox – 23 September On 23 Septem

🌞 Autumn Equinox – 23 September

On 23 September, the Sun enters Libra, marking the Autumn Equinox.

The Equinox is the season of harvest, when the seeds planted in spring bear fruit. Look back: is there something you began around the Spring Equinox six months ago that is now taking form? Take a moment to reflect on your growth and progress.

◆ The Air Grand Trine Kite

This year’s Equinox chart is marked by a stunning Grand Trine in Air.
Pluto sits at 1° Aquarius, Uranus at 1° Gemini, and the Sun at 0° Libra—an exceptionally tight configuration.

This alignment suggests that the second half of the year carries powerful momentum. Invisible forces and fresh currents may guide you toward paths where you can live more authentically and freely.

Opposite the Sun are Saturn and Neptune, reminding us that as new ideals flood in, we are also called to strip away the unnecessary, sharpen our focus, give shape to our goals, and take responsibility for achieving them.

This guiding power not only directs but also carries your ideals toward manifestation, borne along on unseen currents. Trust that even the tasks immediately before you hold deeper meaning.

Another remarkable feature: all the planets forming the Kite apart from the Sun are in retrograde. This indicates that the direction being set now is rooted in the past—an inevitable culmination of what has come before. It is a tribute and a blessing for your prior efforts. Conversely, for those who have not sown or worked, this moment may pass quietly without noticeable change.

◆ Renewal of Social Roles

In some locations, Uranus occupies the Midheaven, symbolising a sweeping refresh of social roles. A new, more authentic role may emerge, one that feels aligned with who you truly are.

A new breeze is blowing through your place in the world—embrace it.

✨ Virgo New Moon (Partial Solar Eclipse) ✨

This New Moon carries a strong, fated energy:
🌑 Partial Solar Eclipse – A powerful cosmic reset that can redirect power dynamics and long-term paths. It’s an invitation to release what no longer serves you and step into alignment with a clearer purpose.

♍ Second Virgo New Moon of the Year – Virgo themes of clarity, refinement, organisation, and steady progress are emphasised even more strongly now. Think of it as a double dose of Virgo’s practical magic—perfect for creating new routines, improving systems, or taking concrete steps toward your dreams.

🪁 Kite Aspect – With harmonious links to the trans-Saturnian planets and Saturn’s stabilising influence, a Kite formation appears in the sky. This pattern suggests powerful currents guiding you forward. Paths may diverge, groups may shift, and you may feel called to choose a different direction—whether in work, daily life, or health. Trust that the flow is carrying you exactly where you need to be.

🍂 Connected to the Equinox – Occurring right before the Autumn Equinox, this New Moon serves as a bridge between late-September energies and the next season’s unfolding journey. It’s a reminder that small, mindful steps taken now can shape the months to come.

✨ Cosmic Advice ✨
Focus on the task right in front of you. Attend to the details, refine your approach, and build steadily. The universe is offering tailwinds—clarity and discipline now will lead to smooth progress and surprising ease.

September 8 – Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces On

September 8 – Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

On September 8, we will witness a total lunar eclipse in Pisces, visible from Japan for the first time in three years.

A lunar eclipse happens when the Full Moon aligns with the nodal axis—the line of the lunar nodes, often called the Dragon’s Head and Tail. This time, the Moon is tightly conjunct the North Node, making this Full Moon an especially powerful eclipse.

Astrologically, eclipses near the nodes are seen as fateful turning points. They often bring encounters, opportunities, or changes that can alter the course of life.

Adding to the significance, this year we have two New Moons in Virgo, with the next one also being a partial solar eclipse. Altogether, this autumn feels like a layered season of destiny and transition.

In the chart for this eclipse, the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces both sit at the midpoint of their signs, allowing their energies to integrate more easily. The main theme this month is bringing your heart and your daily life into alignment.

The Sabian Symbols show that sudden insights and flashes of intuition may arrive, often alongside disruptions to everyday stability. Such moments may feel like profound, life-shaping experiences that leave a lasting mark. While the influence of a lunar eclipse can last up to six months, the coming two weeks are especially intense for breakthroughs guided by intuition.

Saturn and the outer planets form supportive aspects but are retrograde, pointing to the importance of inner reflection—working through ancestral patterns, subconscious themes, and matters of the heart. Guidance from unseen realms is also likely to be strong now.

🌑✨ Virgo New Moon – A Turning Point in Relationships ✨🌑

On 23 August at 15:06 JST, the New Moon rises at 1° Virgo, under the Sabian Symbol “A Man’s Head”.
This symbol heightens clarity and sharpens our vision, helping us see patterns and truths that were previously hidden.

💫 Why is this New Moon so important?
• It’s followed by a Pisces Full Moon with a lunar eclipse on 8 Sept 🌕
• And then a second Virgo New Moon on 22 Sept, this time at the very last degree of Virgo 🌑
👉 Together, these mark two months of destiny-shaping turning points.

🌱 Main Themes:
• Health, habits, and lifestyle shifts
• Redefining roles and responsibilities in relationships
• Soul-level changes: pregnancy, marriage, or commitments
• Letting go of old attachments, worries, and rigid patterns
• Transformation around shared resources, trust, and intimacy

💞 Relationships highlighted:
This New Moon brings opportunities to look deeply into your closest bonds. Partnerships, family ties, and personal connections may undergo significant transformation. At the same time, Venus and Jupiter bring blessings, joy, and abundance—reminding us who truly matters.

✨ The coming 1–2 months invite breakthroughs in partnerships, meaningful encounters, and life changes that align you with your authentic path.

This summer, I travelled with my daughter to Gujo

This summer, I travelled with my daughter to Gujo Hachiman, where we joined the Bon Odori dance—a festival with over 400 years of history.

In Japan, mid-August (13th–16th) is Obon, a time to welcome and honour the spirits of our ancestors. Across the country, people gather in yukata, joining festivals, fireworks, and Bon dances. In Gujo, the Bon Odori continues for an entire month, and during Obon itself, the dancing goes on from 8pm until 4am.

Astrologically, this season coincides with the so-called “Dog Days” abroad, and in the spiritual community, the Lion’s Gate Portal. This year, Jupiter and Venus were both in Cancer, emphasising themes of family, gratitude, and connection with our roots—perfectly aligned with the essence of Obon.

Japan’s summer is also a time of remembrance: Hiroshima on 8 August, Nagasaki on 9 August, and the end of WWII on 15 August, right in the middle of Obon. For us, this season holds both joy and reflection.

In Gujo, I saw visitors from overseas dancing in yukata with bright smiles. It truly felt like a scene of world peace. I hope many more people will experience this unique atmosphere.
