September 16 - 22

 

EARLY WEEK

On Monday the 16th, we have a 4.5 hour Void of Course Moon from 1:04am until 5:38am EST. This ethereal pause sets a languid tone for the morning, or for those in different time zones, a gentle interlude. During this period, energy levels may ebb, leaving us in a contemplative state. At 5:38am, the Moon will glide into the enchanting waters of Pisces, where it will be until Wednesday morning. As the Moon waxes towards fullness tomorrow, we are now in the bright moon phase. The Pisces Moon strengthens our intuitive faculties, allowing us to attune to the whispers of signs, synchronicities, and the subtle currents of energy that surround us.

Later on Monday, Venus will oppose Chiron at 5:29pm. This transit imbues the day with its own vibration. We may find ourselves grappling with insecurities in our relationships, or perhaps an interaction with a loved one will evoke old wounds. The intense emotions we feel may not stem from present circumstances, but rather from old patterns. For instance, we might fear abandonment based on past experiences, rather than current actions. Approach these moments with patience and kindness, and do not shy away from gently discussing your feelings with others.

Tuesday the 17th ushers in a day that might feel slow to begin, yet the anticipation of the Full Moon quickens our inner rhythms. The Full Moon, perfecting at 10:34pm, will also unveil a powerful Lunar Eclipse, marking the onset of a two-week eclipse season that lasts through October 2nd. This Full Moon in Pisces is a profoundly emotional event, stirring the depths of our feelings and igniting vivid dreams and sudden bursts of insight. We could feel swells of emotion that need a release. The energies of eclipse season often manifest rapidly, shaking things up on a deep level. This Lunar Eclipse will be visible in South America and the Pacific Islands, and will usher in even more significant transformations in these regions.

LATE WEEK

On Wednesday the 18th, the day begins with the cosmic tension of Mercury opposing Saturn at 4:50am EST. This celestial alignment casts a reflective hue over the day, heightening our tendencies towards perfectionism in both thought and communication. We may become acutely aware of our words and if they fail to flow as envisioned, we might be overly critical of ourselves. It may also be challenging to remain present and communicate with sincerity. Be compassionate with yourself, and if you notice others grappling with this energy, offer them gentle reassurance. A touch of kindness can truly transform the atmosphere.

At 5:23am on Wednesday, the Moon will venture into the fiery realm of Aries, where it will remain until Friday morning. This shift infuses the energy with a spark of impulsiveness, independence, and a drive for action.

On Thursday the 19th, the Sun forms a harmonious trine with Uranus at 10:04am, igniting our sense of individuality and self-expression. This alignment invites us to step into our uniqueness with newfound confidence, encouraging us to shine brightly and showcase our special gifts to the world. The energy of this transit can stir up a refreshing dynamism, inspiring us to explore new horizons and embrace bold, innovative approaches.

WEEKEND

Prepare yourself for a wild weekend! This rollercoaster starts on Friday the 20th, when the Moon enters the luxurious realm of Taurus at 5:02am EST. This is the place of the Moon's exaltation. Under the influence of the Moon in Taurus, immerse yourself in the pleasures of the five senses. Relish the sounds of soothing music, the caress of soft fabrics, the delight of scrumptious food, and the myriad other joys on Earth. Later, at 8:16pm, the Sun opposes Neptune, amplifying our imagination and compassion, but also potentially leaving us feeling a touch disoriented or detached from reality. Fortunately, the grounding energy of the Taurus Moon will keep our feet anchored to the Earth so we don't float away too far.

Saturday the 21st brings Mercury into a dynamic square with Jupiter at 4:49am. This alignment sparks a desire for learning and exploration, making us very passionate in our quest for knowledge. We might find ourselves overflowing with excitement and eager to share our discoveries, potentially struggling to quiet the mind and cease chatter. The Moon remains in Taurus for the day, marking the final full day of Virgo season. This is a perfect time to declutter your space and release what no longer serves you.

Sunday the 22nd, is an extremely active day in the cosmos. We begin with the Sun in Virgo forming a trine with Pluto in Capricorn at 2:11am, infusing us with boldness and courage to embrace transformative changes in our lives. This transit may also encourage us to step into leadership roles and take charge of our own destinies. At 6:13am, the Moon reaches its Waning Gibbous phase, making this a good time to experience gratitude and reflect on the blessings in our lives. Shortly after, at 6:24am, the Moon ingresses Gemini, where it will remain until Tuesday morning. The Gemini Moon enhances our curiosity, invites us to explore new ideas, and facilitates communication and expression of our emotions.

As the Sun moves into Libra at 8:43pm, Libra season officially begins. Ruled by Venus and embodying cardinal air, Libra season is a time for artistic endeavors, finding equilibrium, forging harmonious connections, and beautifying our surroundings. It’s a period ripe for social interactions and networking. Listen to this week's podcast for more info on Libras and their season!

Later, at 5:14pm, Venus will square Pluto, intensifying themes of jealousy and possessiveness within relationships. This powerful transit may bring to light issues of control, either revealing where you’ve ceded your power or highlighting areas where others may exert undue influence. While this can be a challenging aspect, it also offers an opportunity to reclaim and empower yourself.

Finally, at 10:36pm, Venus enters Scorpio, where it will dwell until October 17th. This placement imbues Venus with intensity, magnetism, and profound passion. Relationships may undergo significant transformation as we delve into deeper, more meaningful connections. Those with natal Venus in Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Virgo, and Capricorn will find this period especially favorable for love and romance, as the cosmic energies align to enhance your experiences of intimacy and connection.
