September 2 - 8

 

EARLY WEEK

On Monday, September 2nd, the cosmos graces us with a harmonious trine between Mercury and Chiron at 9:46am EST. This celestial dance marks the second time in recent weeks that Mercury, now retracing its steps after stationing direct, aligns with Chiron’s healing energies. This potent alignment invites profound conversations and emotional healing, encouraging us to embrace vulnerability and forge deeper connections. Writing can serve as an important ritual for unblocking and processing our emotions. As the New Moon in Virgo rises at 9:55pm, we enter a mystical period of introspection. This moon phase illuminates the path to releasing negative self-talk and harmonizing our mind and body, purging shadows and confusion to unveil inner peace. It is a day for communing with nature and savoring the pure, joyful essence of the natural world.

On Tuesday, September 3rd, Mars engages in a challenging square with Neptune at 12:09am EST. This transit, which unfolds over the course of a week, casts a veil of uncertainty and illusion upon our actions. Beware of pursuing goals based on distorted perceptions. Pause and scrutinize the truth before proceeding. As the day progresses, Venus conjuncts the South Node of the Moon at 7:58pm, stirring the waters of nostalgia and reuniting us with echoes of the past. People from yesteryears might resurface, either through direct contact or through vivid dreams. These two transits may interweave in mysterious ways, amplifying the need for clarity. Seek the counsel of a trusted friend to gain perspective, as external viewpoints often reveal truths hidden from our own sight.

LATE WEEK

On Wednesday, September 4th, the Moon gracefully transitions into the airy realms of Libra at 12:11pm EST, where it will dwell until the early hours of Saturday. Libra Moon days favor harmonious interactions and social engagements, easing conflicts and inspiring artistic and aesthetic pursuits. Later in the day, Mars enters the nurturing embrace of Cancer at 3:46pm, where it will linger until November 4th. In Cancer, Mars's is in its fall. This means its energy is subdued, manifesting in challenges with assertiveness and potential passive-aggressive tendencies. This period calls for a gentle balance between directness and kindness. Those with natal Mars in Capricorn or fire and air signs may need to consciously navigate this energy, while those with Mars in water or earth signs (excluding Capricorn) might find this phase more aligned with their natural rhythm.

WEEKEND

As the weekend unfolds, Mercury squares Uranus at 12:20am EST on Saturday, September 7th, sparking a whirlwind of innovative thoughts and restless mental activity. Expect heightened chatter and difficulty finding mental repose. The Moon then enters Scorpio at 1:18am, where it will remain until the dawn of Monday. Scorpio Moon days intensify our emotional experiences, which can make us more protective of our hearts and those we cherish. This is a time to deepen our intuitive practices and engage with our spiritual paths.

On Sunday, September 8th, the Sun opposes Saturn at 12:35am, casting a shadow of responsibility and restriction. We may feel the weight of duties pressing heavily upon us. It is wise to seek rest through pursuing enjoyable activities in order to lighten our spirits. The Moon then sextiles the Sun at 10:28am, entering its Waxing Crescent phase, ushering in a moment of celestial promise. This phase encourages  daydreaming about future possibilities, crafting plans, and igniting excitement for the forthcoming lunar cycle.
