[5:49] Summary of the episode.

[6:22] Moon Report! The Moon squares Mars today (Sep. 4, 9:00 am PDT) at 29°54’ Virgo-Gemini. Stress can come to a boil! Six minutes later (9:06 am PDT), the Moon trines Pluto at 29°54’ Virgo-Capricorn. This brings an invitation to contain our tempers and project cool detachment. The Moon is then Void-of-Course for 5 minutes before it enters Libra (9:11 am PDT). This is a chance to change patterns around stress and anger.

[7:17] Mars enters the sign of its fall, Cancer (Sep. 4, 2024, 12:46 pm PDT, through Nov. 3, 2024). Passive aggression can become the mode of attack, with a lot of sneaky, undermining, and subtle emotional warfare during this time. Mars in Cancer ensures that we will not hesitate to protect our loved ones, our homes, and our sources of sustenance.

[8:42] The Pluto in Libra generation - Pluto was in Libra between Oct. 4, 1971, and Aug. 27, 1984.

[9:43] These people correspond roughly to Generation X, born roughly between 1965 and 1980, and the Millennial Generation, born between 1981 and 1996. This is a generation that bridged the analog and digital worlds. They are a practical group with a unique perspective on relationships in general.
