This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on September 17, 2020, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Pretty rough second half of September
The Mars retrograde just started about a week ago, the planet still conjoint with the Black moon insists on the square with the planet Saturn (and with Pluto), we can see that this lunation can have a rather important karmic charge : here Sun / Moon appearing at the apex of the T-square with the lunar nodes, and at the trine of the Capricorn stellium, this lunation can require a certain “enlightenment” at the social level.
During this month of September, we could easily find ourselves revisiting events that were raised during the last passage of Mars in this sector come early August, especially as this is linked to a broader cycle that takes root in mid-March (when Mars was actualizing the Capricorn stellium, starting the coronavirus crisis at the global level, just as a reminder), we happen to find ourselves, so to speak, in a series of ricochets !
I have shed more light on all these points in the article on Mars retrograde in the mean term, and with this onset of the lunation, it can crystallize a lot of confusion and indecision, we can also see that the Libra archetype will acquire a lot of importance in the weeks to come with the arrival of the Sun in this sign, in addition to Mercury during the second fortnight of September, this may translate into various talks, search for mediation, conciliations, debates, meetings, negotiations, discussions…
However, since the Martian forces are hindered, slowed down, inhibited, there can be a cruel lack of action, a lack of decision making, and this can translate into a certain “panic”, because on the other hand the pressure remains quite tangible ! (the situation might actually be critical).
This may result in a kind of challenge to be taken up, a step to be climbed (whether socially globally, or professionally, personally), but the fuel may be running out, or fear, lack of confidence, may creep in and tend to undermine the very foundations, to question the dynamic that has arisen over the last few months, and this can even translate into a kind of wait-and-see attitude, or a feeling of sterility, everyone perhaps resolved to shifting blame to the next party, just to avoid responsibility, rather than rolling up their sleeves personally and taking the bull by the horns !
And this risks “blowing up” more, come the end of September, and early October, where in any case solutions may emerge on their own, even pushed by force of circumstance, the important thing being not to toss the jewel with the garbage…
Keep in mind that these different influences are more related to the 3rd decans, and specifically to the very Cardinal signs (Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, Libra) which are particularly “on the grill”.
The full moon of October 1, 2020 can therefore form a fairly clear and clear-cut turn in this lunation, this is not necessarily always the case in all lunations, but there may be a rather consequent feeling of “frustration” emerging on this increasing phase, and therefore this early October comes to “resolve” some things that remained pending during the second half of September (concept of highlighting, culmination of cycle, and thus turning on the descreasing phase of the lunation).
Note again that the last quarter of the lunation, thus from the 2nd dekad of October, once more represents a tense and nervous phase, a figure of Grand Cross is thus formed in the Cardinal cross, with the Sun and the Moon particularly illuminating the quadrature Capricorn / Aries; then we can also see Mercury about to go retrograde in Scorpio within the week, forming a frank opposition to Uranus !
This still highlights forces of restraint, setbacks, stumbling blocks, it’s highly probable, given the complexity of the forces at play in Capricorn in the mean term (take a look at my articles on the transit of Saturn in Capricorn, and the transit of Jupiter in Capricorn) that it will take a large part of the end of 2020 to put everything in the rear view, move on, and this remains a time that seems quite incompressible…
