Saturn’s entry into Virgo, an ingress that happens once every thirty years, took place under skies that were shimmering with significance. It happened a few days before the New Moon, also in Virgo, on Sept 11th; and this was a New Moon with a vengeance: not only was it a Solar Eclipse, but it took place on a date that has become iconic in the collective imagination. Moreover, it occurred during a Grand Cross in mutable signs.

It was a celestial sonata beginning with a cymbal crash.
