Astronomical context from NASA ↗The shape of the month
Original reflections · UTC editions01 / September 1–6
Find a workable form
Mars–Saturn opens the month; the last quarter asks what needs editing. Make the first experiment small enough to observe.
02 / September 7–13
Begin, with a record
A cluster of sign changes and the Virgo new Moon. Separate changes in circumstances from the meanings you give them.
03 / September 14–20
Test what you began
Ideas become prototypes. The first quarter and Mercury–Saturn opposition offer a useful checkpoint for constraints.
04 / September 21–27
Cross the equinox
The Sun enters Libra, then the Aries full Moon closes the experiment’s first cycle. Attend to relation, place, and actual results.
05 / September 28–30
Carry it into practice
Mars and Mercury change signs. Review the month, keep what helped, and leave room for the next question.
