Henry Seltzer – This is an unusual month, beginning as it does in the wake of the Leo New Moon that featured a partile or same-degree square from the Sun and Moon to disruptive Uranus in Taurus, indicating unexpected events and surprise enlightenment.
We must note that this lunation cycle still has the first two weeks of September to go before its thirty days have ended. This unusual emphasis on the Trickster is coupled with the inner planet retrogrades of Mercury and of Venus as the month begins.
