This is the turning week.
On Tuesday 1 September, spring begins.
And tomorrow the numbers turn with the season, because September is a Universal Month 1 inside a Universal Year 1. A 1 month in a 1 year is the strongest fresh start signature numerology can print, and that combination only comes around once every nine years.
The eclipses cleared the ground in August.
Spring and the number 1 now say the same word.
Begin.
The sky adds two more notes.
On Friday 4 September at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, Perth time, the Last Quarter Moon arrives at 11 degrees of Gemini. The Last Quarter is the final check in of a moon cycle, the moment for clearing the last of what eclipse season loosened, before next week’s New Moon opens the new chapter properly.
And on Sunday 6 September it is Father’s Day, and I will have a special post for that morning.
Mercury is sharp in Virgo, the Sun is tending the early spring garden, and in the Chinese calendar the clever Fire Monkey month plays its final days before the Rooster month arrives.
The theme for everyone: begin, and travel light.
Read for your Sun sign, and your rising sign if you know it.
Aries
Friday’s Last Quarter lands in your house of words and daily connections, so the clearing is a conversation. Close the open loop, send the reply, say the thing kindly, and do it before Friday is out. The Sun and Mercury are both lighting your house of work and health, which is where spring’s fresh start actually wants to begin for you. A 1 month in a 1 year says pick one bold new aim, and the closing Fire Monkey month says be clever about how you start it.
Taurus
The quarter moon falls in your house of money and worth, and the clearing here is a practical one. A subscription, a habit, or a cost that no longer earns its keep, trimmed before the new season. The Sun and Mercury sit in your house of creativity, romance and joy, so the beginning spring is offering you is a joyful one rather than a dutiful one. Give a 1 month in a 1 year a cleaner ledger to start from and it will do more with it than you expect.
Gemini
Friday’s turning point arrives in your own sign, so the clearing this week is personal. An old version of you is ready to be thanked and retired, and you will feel the moment it goes. The Sun and Mercury are down in your home and family corner, so the fresh start lands at your own address. A 1 month in a 1 year is your permission slip to begin as the current you, not the one everybody remembers.
Cancer
The quarter moon lands in your quietest house, so the clearing is internal rather than visible. An old worry, or a tiredness you have been outrunning, that wants honouring before the new cycle starts. The Sun and Mercury are in your house of words and connections, so once you have rested, your beginning is a conversation or something you write. Rest is preparation this week, and the Rooster month arriving will help you get organised once you have had it.
Leo
Friday’s quarter stirs your house of friends and groups, so the clearing here is social. A commitment or a circle that has run its season can be released with warmth rather than a falling out. The Sun and Mercury move through your house of money and worth, so spring’s fresh start is about earning and what you believe you are worth. Spring will fill the emptied space with truer company, and a 1 month in a 1 year is a good time to name your rate.
Virgo
The quarter moon lands at the top of your chart, in career and standing, so the clearing is professional. Finish the lingering task, close the old file, clear the desk before spring. The Sun and Mercury are both in your own sign, so your new season starts from real strength. Your birthday season inside a 1 month in a 1 year is about as clean a runway as the calendar ever offers you.
Libra
Friday’s clearing lands in your house of horizons, so an old plan or belief about what is possible can finally be updated. The map you drew years ago no longer matches the country you are standing in. The Sun and Mercury are in your quietest house, so your own beginning is still forming in private, and that is correct timing. Let the spring view be bigger than the winter one, and let your season arrive in its own few weeks.
Scorpio
The quarter moon falls in your house of depth and shared resources, and the clearing is an entanglement. A debt, a load carried jointly, or an arrangement that wants one honest adjustment. The Sun and Mercury light your house of friends and community, so the beginning comes through people rather than on your own. Settle it and step into spring lighter, because a 1 month in a 1 year does not enjoy carrying old weight.
Sagittarius
Friday’s Last Quarter lands opposite you, in partnership, so the clearing is relational. One small honest conversation resets a balance that has been quietly off for a while. The Sun and Mercury are at the top of your chart, in career and public life, which is where spring wants your beginning. Begin the new season side by side, and let the Fire Monkey’s last days make you inventive about the work.
Capricorn
The quarter moon arrives in your house of work and health, so the clearing is routine. One habit gets retired and one gets promoted, and you already know which is which. The Sun and Mercury are in your house of horizons, so the beginning is a bigger plan, travel, study, or the long view. Small and daily beats grand and occasional, especially in a 1 month in a 1 year.
Aquarius
Friday’s clearing lands in your house of creativity and joy, so something your heart has finished with makes room. Put down the creative project you have been dragging along out of loyalty rather than love. The Sun and Mercury are in your house of depth and shared resources, so the fresh start involves trust and what you hold with other people. Play is allowed to be new too, and the Rooster month will help you stay tidy about the money part.
Pisces
The quarter moon lands at the base of your chart, in home and family, so the clearing is domestic. A corner, a pattern, or an old family story swept out for spring. The Sun and Mercury sit opposite you in partnership, so the beginning arrives through another person, close up. Your foundations want to be as fresh as the season, and a 1 month in a 1 year says start at home.
Whatever your sign, the assignment is the same.
Clear the last of it by Friday, honour your fathers on Sunday, and walk into the new cycle with your hands free.
What is the one thing you are beginning this spring?
