The Autumn Equinox Conjunctions - September 2004
by Robert Wilkinson
In this year of the Wood Monkey (important to remember!) the Autumn Equinox occurs on September 22 at 9:30 am, PDT. The equinox marks the time that the Sun enters Libra, when day and night are of equal length. It begins autumn, the time of harvest, when outer forms begin to give way to lengthening nights and lessening solar force (in our northern hemisphere). Life is turning inward, with the fruits of summer fulfilled. These are natural rhythms all of us live within.
There are extremely important conjunctions occuring at this time of seasonal change, both before the equinox and after. Any time the Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter all come together, expect big happenings. On September 21, the Sun conjunct Jupiter at the last degree of Virgo gives an indicator of expansions over the next 13 months. That degree is said to be the fulfillment of different kinds of "education," and will enlarge more than we think. It's about joyously rising to an occasion.
Following the Sun's path, Jupiter enters Libra on September 24, moving onto the equinoctal degree which is said to symbolize a huge change toward one's higher image of Self. "A butterfly made perfect by a dart through it" was said by Rudhyar to suggest a process of perfection through sacrifice.
