Astrology Arizona Zoom Meet 2024
September 28th 1 PM to 3 PM PDT/AZ time via Zoom
AAZ is happy to host
Lynn Koiner
in a discussion about
Seeing your parents' past in your chart!
Our September 28th presentation features internationally known and loved astrologer Lynn Koiner who will be giving us a fascinating look at Regressing Your Chart Into Your Parents’ Past.
This is a technique she developed decades ago which is “an easy technique whereby one can regress a chart back in time and predict events occurring in the lives of the parents and grandparents.” She says “this is an easy technique that even a beginning student can learn” which gives insights into what happened before we were born.
I have no doubt it’s going to be another excellent discussion, and we hope you will join us for this event, since “what one astrologer misses another catches.”

In 2024, the month of September puts the focus on the area of our charts where we have Virgo and Libra. This month sees Mercury speeding up after its recent retrograde between 5 Virgo and 22 Leo, giving us a review of those areas of our lives. This month is the time to get it in gear, as we have Grand Earth Trines to help ground our efforts and say goodbye to the lessons Pluto in Capricorn has given us since 2008.
There’s a swirl of planetary energies this month, with Mercury and Venus moving briskly forward, Mars beginning to slow down for its December retrograde station at 7 Leo, Jupiter slowing for its October retrograde station, and Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all retrograde! Due to the inner planets transiting Virgo and Libra, and Mars moving into Cancer, we now have planets occupying a wide span of signs. We have the outer planet span from late Capricorn through Jupiter in late Gemini, with Mars and the inner planets extending the occupied span through Libra. So we have all the planets in about 3/4 of the zodiac.
Because the inner planets are all in a phase of opposing Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter these next few months, we’re coming to a time of the year when we get intense awareness through these oppositions. When the inner planets occupy Aquarius through Taurus and conjunct the outer planets, it’s time to pull the energies inward, and when they’re between Cancer and Sagittarius the energies are more expansive in the outer world.
We have very favorable Grand Earth Trines this month, courtesy of the Sun and Mercury in Virgo trining Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn. This is the last set of Earth trines to Pluto for centuries to come, so make the most of it, since from now on it’s strictly Air trines! And yes, the Sun and Mercury also oppose Saturn, helping us let go of the lesser to accept the greater, and throw off chains of mental slavery which keep us too narrow or pessimistic.
Pluto leads the outer planet occupied span through early 2025. July began a long run of oppositions to Pluto, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus beginning with the oppositions to Saturn and Neptune by Venus in August. Those oppositions were harbingers of Solar and Mercurial oppositions to those Pisces planets in September.
Now that Jupiter’s in Gemini, it gives a Gemini backdrop to planets we have in Sagittarius and Pisces, as well as the houses where these signs are on the cusp. Jupiter in Gemini will bring new information and perspectives to those things it rules. Still, the conjunctions in Taurus will rule the coming year until the conjunctions with Jupiter in Cancer in June 2025.
Saturn is now retrograde and tracking the path it traveled between late April and early June. It will be occupying its 2024 Shadow zone between 13 and 20 Pisces through February 2025. We have begun to receive the promise of that which nourishes us “at the end of our day of labor,” and September should bring renewal, inspiration, rehearsals, so stay balanced as you navigate the flow. In any case, the primary Saturn theme for the rest of this year and early 2025 is going to help us finish some things, forgive some things, and bless some endings.
The Spiritual Field
We continue to be blessed by the closest Neptune sextile with Pluto in 30 years, with Uranus joining the “three note chord” by the Summer of 2024. With Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in late Capricorn, we have a very strong “double sextile/trine” which should favorably impact all planets we have in the last 5 degrees of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces. The Spiritual Field represented by these outermost planets is stabilizing our late Earth and Water sectors in the spiritual sectors of their signs.
This is preparing us for an entirely new experience of Spirit and Life in 2025 when these Spiritual powerhouses shift out of Earth and Water into Fire and Air, joined by Saturn when it enters Aries creating a “three note chord” of harmonic consciousness. That means 2024 and 2025 will spiritually harmonize planets we have in the late degrees of the Earth and Water signs, while in 2025-2026 they will do the same for planets we have in the early degrees of the Fire and Air signs.
Uranus will occupy the third decan of Taurus for the rest of this year through early July 2025. This is a Capricorn sub-influence with an added dose of Saturn, so there’s more structure and discipline and less micromanagement of details. The Cosmic Awakener promises us a new life and a “genuine rejuvenation” and life renewal as a result of what we go through in August and September.
We’re moving through an individual and spiritual awakening which will have us all feeling renewed by October. We just began a new 2 year cycle where we have 27 Taurus in our charts due to the newest Mars conjunct Uranus which happened in July. This new awakening should help us adapt to circumstances and offer our wisdom to our world in subdued ways.
Neptune at “the end of the end” of Pisces is giving us all a sense of vast feelings and finality. We’ve been through a purification process since December, have glimpsed forms of abundance, and now move into a oceanic feeling of dreaming the future we want to see become manifest. This year we experience the vast unifying field as we prepare to move into a more fiery collective energy in 2025.
With Pluto in late Capricorn for the last time in centuries, about to re-enter Aquarius, we are living on the cusp of historical change. As it went stationary retrograde at 3 Aquarius, we’ve begun a wild ride into a time of defiance, rebellion, with many refusing to follow what they believe to be authoritarian control systems. Be open to “regrasping past experience” and see it from a different angle of understanding due to a “sharp self-examination.” Be fearless in making the decisions you need to make.
We also have several long wave Aries cycles in play. Jupiter launched a major healing and mentoring cycle when it conjuncted Chiron at 15 Aries on March 11, 2023. That began a long wave Chiron cycle which will last until the Summer of 2036. And we just finished a 2 year Mars/Chiron cycle and began a new one at 23 Aries.
Not all Chiron cycles are the same length. When Chiron transits between Aquarius and Gemini, it moves relatively slowly and has conjunctions with Jupiter about every 13 years. However, it can take 19-20 years for the next conjunction after Gemini or Cancer. That means once the conjunction at 16 Gemini happens in the Summer of 2036 we won’t have another conjunction of Jupiter and Chiron until the Spring of 2056 in Aquarius, which will launch another long term “expansive healing/mentoring” cycle.
Mars
Mars is still relatively fast in motion, but has now begun to slow. The slowing will continue until it goes retrograde at 7 Leo in early December, but we can still get a lot done quickly in September if we use the favorable aspects to/from Mars with the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn. Let go of anything you no longer need to carry, turn whatever corners you need to turn, and if you find yourself with a new allegiance, make sure it’s a balanced arrangement. This month is about decisions to act, to consolidate and protect what needs protecting, and learning to play good defense.
This month Mars activates the house(s) where we have 28 Gemini through 15 Cancer. From September 1 through 4, Mars is in the Aquarius decan of Gemini, ruled by Saturn with an extra dose of the Sun. From September 4 through 21, Mars is in the Cancer decan of Cancer, ruled by the Moon with an extra dose of Venus. From September 21 through 30, Mars is in the Scorpio decan of Cancer, ruled by Mars with an extra dose of Mercury.
Between September 1-10, Mars will prove agitating to those with planets between 28-30 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces and 1-4 degrees of Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, and Aries. Between September 10-20, it will have an agitating effect on planets between 4-9 degrees of the same signs. And between September 20-30, it will have the same effect on planets between 9-15 of Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, and Aries.
As I’ve offered before, when Mars is within a degree of forming or separating from a hard aspect with a planet, slow down and show deliberation and caution in how you use force. Hard aspects to/from Mars always require that we moderate or antidote impulsiveness and impatience.
Sign Focus
This month the sign focus shows a preponderance of Virgo and Libra. The month begins with Mars in Gemini, Mercury in Leo, Sun in Virgo, and Venus in Libra. By the second week of the month, we have Mars in Cancer and Mercury and the Sun in Virgo. Then the last week of the month finds Mercury in Virgo, Sun in Libra, and Venus in Scorpio with Mercury making its entry into Libra at the end of the month.
So the first week is split between 4 signs, the second and third weeks are mainly Virgo, and the last week is mainly Libra and Scorpio. Add the solid span between late Capricorn and Mars in Cancer, and you can see that the energies are generously distributed this month.
We’re Actors On A New Stage With A New Set – The Bigger Picture
We’re still in the initial years of a new era in human evolution. The Grand Mutation of Jupiter conjunct Saturn at 1 Aquarius began a new 20 year Aquarian Era in December 2020, as well as a new 200 year era, moving global energies out of Earth and into Air. We’ve begun to grow beyond the materialism of the past 200 years and have entered two centuries of Air emphasis, with its qualities of relatedness, receptivity, versatility, movability, lightness, and cooperative ideas, visions, and ideals.
We’re still "under the beams" of the Solar Eclipses we experienced in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 and these “cosmic recyclers” continue to remove what we no longer need in our lives. Take note of where you have 1 Cancer, 24 and 13 Sagittarius, 20 Gemini, 11 Taurus, and 2 Scorpio, since we’ve all had to let go of many things related to these sectors the past few years.
The May 2022 eclipses with Sun in Taurus have shut down old value systems in that sector, and the Scorpio Solar eclipses are already leading us to say goodbye to the past, giving up some old ideals. You can find out more about Solar and Lunar eclipses by going to my site at www.aquariuspapers.com where there are numerous articles in the archives on how eclipses work.
The April-May 2023 eclipses have begun to work their magic on our Aries and Libra sectors for a long time to come. The 2023 Solar eclipse at 30 Aries and the October Solar eclipse at 22 Libra are also shutting down parts of our lives where we have those signs. We now have the Solar eclipse at 20 Aries added to the list, as well as the late March Lunar eclipse which is shutting down parts of our lives where we have early Taurus and early Scorpio.
As we study how successive Eclipses have affected various areas of our charts and lives, we can get a sense of the utility of these “Cosmic Recyclers” in removing what we no longer needed in those areas, creating a void which attracted new life experiences. They invite us to look back, and then forward, to see the continuity of “letting go, taking in, letting go, taking in” across the years.
Primary Action Beats for the First Half of the Month
September begins with the huge shift of Uranus going stationary retrograde on September 1 along with Pluto retrograding back into Capricorn, giving the cosmic purifier a last shot at cleaning up our late Capricorn sector! We then get the New Moon at 12 Virgo on the next day, beginning a month of unveiling, unmasking, and seeing what we didn’t see before. Because it’s opposed Saturn, let go of lesser things and accept more important duties or responsibilities.
The first week ends with Mercury making its third and final square to Uranus, favoring inventive thinking and getting unique ideas. As Uranus is on a degree of rejuvenation and renewal, this is a sign to prepare actively for a future already on the way. Go deeper into your connection with source, let go of things which are stuck, and get a broad view of the forces in play.
The second week of September features the final late Leo Yod made by Mercury in a double quincunx with Neptune and Pluto, so focus, share, and express your generous heart. This has been and will profoundly affect planets we have in the last degrees of Capricorn and Pisces with the focus in late Leo.
Mercury enters Virgo on September 8, and sextiles Mars through September 12, favoring getting a lot done with precision and care. We finish the second week with Sun square Jupiter, helping us turn a benevolent and expansive corner in whatever we set into motion in the Spring. Just don’t overdo it!
Primary Action Beats for the Second Half of the Month
The last half of September brings Venus trine Jupiter at mid-month, promising the second and third weeks of the month should be generally good for plans and opportunities to forge good relationships. Then we have a powerful Lunar eclipse on September 17, showing a split between past and future, with the Light of a new form of service or discipleship to be expressed through going our own way or allowing another to go their own way, or perhaps situations where each must be free to do what they have to without interference. As Lunar eclipse effects last for a few months, we’ll see a lot slip away as we prepare for a new level of spiritual service.
Mercury opposes Saturn on September 18, The Sun trines Uranus on September 19 and then opposes Neptune on the 20th, creating an awareness generator favorably affecting planets we have in the late degrees of the Earth and Water signs. We then hit a lot of action on September 21 when Mercury squares Jupiter, Venus quincunxes Neptune, Mercury quincunxes Chiron, and the Sun trines Pluto! Lots of sacrifices, adjustments, and shifts in understanding which allow us to get to the heart of the matter and as noted earlier, many will be able to “escape from a narrow destiny” via those Earth trines to Pluto this month.
The last week also brings Mercury trine Uranus and opposed Neptune and then trine Pluto, allowing us to understand and coordinate those Earth trine energies more effectively. Mercury enters Libra on September 26, Mars trines Saturn through September 30, when we have the Superior conjunction between Mercury and the Sun, showing a “fusion of Life and Mind” with Mercury again moving out in front of the Sun, showing Mind will “herald the Light.” As Chiron is bringing us all “concentrated doses of spiritual energy” all month, cultivate receptivity to spiritual ideas and ideals. We are all being “molded by transpersonal forces,” to whatever degree we are open and receptive to the influx of those forms of “spiritual protection.” Those who put forth effort will find spiritual rewards streaming in!
Evolutionary Development
This is the fourteenth month of the North Node in Aries era! This is a time of our greatest development being served by self-initiated activity (Aries) shown through our balanced response (Libra) to an ongoing transfiguration toward an ideal. So we grow through focused action and demonstrate it through expressing our Archetypal Self, whether in the world of inner space or outer affairs. We build through Aries and release through Libra, so adopt a pioneering attitude that is expressed with grace and diplomacy.
Our wise friend Saturn continues to teach us through the vast feeling experiences from its time in Pisces, and now we’re seeing what is to be perpetuated into the new era in 2025. We are still learning disciplines of forgiveness and compassion, and this month continues our reward and nourishment “after our day of labor.”
The Sun in Virgo is a time to take the Light of new “radiations of heart energy” of Leo and give them “significant form” in Virgo, where we learn that “to rule is to serve.” We are now able to ground a lot in practical forms and structures, and should be able to make a lot of progress in whatever we do. Now that we’ve looked back via Mercury, we all have messages to give and receive in September and October.
We are in our fourth year of the new Aquarian era, with a new iteration of that future-oriented energy set into motion in February. Jupiter in Taurus helped us get a new grounded expansive view of how to sustain the Aquarian unfoldment into the future which is finding forms of expression while Jupiter is in Gemini. We’ve all entered a new land. Let go of the lesser, accept the greater, and the new land you’re in is going to be far more enjoyable than the old land you’ve had to leave.
Because we’re now in the fourth year of a new 20 year and 200 year cycle, remember a new era has dawned. Have courage and take the initiative to leave the Earth and fly free into the Air of what’s opening as the Grand Mutation expands its promise into the Divine transfigured ideal of a more just truth and future. This month brings stability and expansion of new Aquarian expressions. As always, lighten up, play a little, and be willing to explore new arenas of effective activity where you can work and play with other Light Spirits, and take heart as we navigate the dawning of the Pluto in Aquarius era.
We have now collectively transfigured into a greater vision of the one Light/Life we all are together. Continue to find your heart strength and new forms of genuine happiness appropriate for who you are now, and who you are becoming relative to just a few months ago.
We now navigate the cosmic time-space between endings and beginnings so bless and forgive much to flow down the time stream. The past is over and we all have begun our trek into a new world of new potential, new adventures, and new ways to enjoy being ourselves while doing our work of Destiny. Open to the abundance of the process of growth, since we are all on a rocket ship to the stars!

Until next month
(or whenever we meet again, since tomorrow is never guaranteed)
