THE VIRGO NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE URGES US TO WAKE UP TO THE REALITY THAT FREE SPEECH IS UNDER THREAT & TO FIGHT BACK!

Today’s podcast explores that fact that this month’s waning third-quarter of the lunar cycle—which leads us to the September 21 Virgo New Moon solar eclipse--has been a time to wake up & smell the coffee that our constitutional rights here in the U.S. are under threat.

So, before we even reach this second eclipse in this fall’s series--which began with the Pisces Full Moon total lunar eclipse on March 7--we’re asked at the end of the monthly lunar cycle to adjust to several realities. Doing so allows us to better recognize what seeds we’re being called to plant at the Virgo New Moon solar eclipse on September 21.
Since the assassination of prominent right-winger Charlie Kirk on September 10, we experienced the September 13 Sun/Mercury superior conjunction in Virgo. And since then, Mercury has moved ahead of the Sun to become an evening star, meaning he’s more prominently visible in the night sky.

In turn, this B symbolizes it’s now time—between September 13 & November 9 when Mercury once again stations retrograde—for clear observation & rational, logical, organized, & pragmatic thought that leads to ultimately to action.

I often point out that my astrological philosophy is that the universe is benign & that it has no interest in making any of us suffer. Rather, it simply provides opportunities every moment of everyday for us to grow in consciousness. And if we don’t recognize these moments, the universe doesn’t give up!
With that in mind, we’re tasked right now with recognizing the pain of injustices that curtail the rights of both individuals & groups. And to begin to recognize we must push back against such injustices, or we’ll continue to be subjected to additional onslaughts against our rights, such as the right free speech.
We’ve witnessed an outpouring of grief on many different levels since the Pisces New Moon total lunar eclipse & during this monthly lunar cycle’s last week. But the main one was the silencing via murder of an outspoken conservative who used religion as a shield to justify his prejudices against those he did not like. The aftermath of his murder brought grief, pain, & suffering to both those who followed him AND those who KNOW that killing someone because of his speech is morally WRONG.
And not only wrong, it’s unconstitutional, at least here in America. As Kirk’s death began to sink in amongst the masses of both his followers & his critics, the powers that be began to curtail the speech of his detractors which has resulted in the stifling of voices such as late-night comedic talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
So what began with an outpouring of pain & grief has culminated in a discussion of how our current political polarization has wounded us—as evidenced by September 16’s Mercury quincunx wounded healer Chiron, Venus’s trine to Chiron, & Mars’ opposition to Chiron.
By September 17, however, the pushback against allowing anyone other than conservatives to speak freely began as Mercury in Virgo opposed Saturn retrograde in Pisces on September 17. Mercury then entered Libra & opposed Neptune retrograde in Aries, & trined Pluto in Aquarius September 18. In addition, Venus in Libra quincunxed Saturn in Pisces & the Virgo Sun quincunxed Chiron in Aries then too.
GRIEF OVER THE ASSASSINATION OF FREE SPEECH
Quincunxes are 150-degree aspects between planets, which makes them so far apart that they do not recognize or “see” each other. Most astrologers agree they are indications that an adjustment must be made. Like needing to turn your head to see what’s out of your immediate range of peripheral vision, a quincunx alerts us it’s time to look both ways before proceeding.
In this case, as these quincunxes begin to register, they are waxing us toward this next solar eclipse. Mercury also trines Uranus & Pluto, Venus enters Virgo & quincunxes both Neptune & Saturn, squares Uranus, & quincunxes Pluto. In addition, the Virgo Sun opposes Saturn in Pisces, & ALL of these aspects occur between September 18 & September 21 in the lead up to the upcoming solar eclipse. 
Instead of parsing each of these individually, let’s simply analyze what’s occurred in the collective as we reach the end of this month’s lunar cycle, shall we? 
What we have in fact seen--& are in fact experiencing now--is a rude awakening to the extremes that divergent political stances can bring. Even to the point where ignoring—or worse yet, excusing--gun violence by rationalizing it as a necessary by-product of such polarization because conservatives believe it’s an expression of our rights as American under the Second Amendment.
So, as we approach the 29’05” Virgo New Moon solar eclipse at 12:5
