September 23 - 29

 

EARLY WEEK

At the week's start, the moon enters the airy realm of Gemini, inviting us to remain open, curious, and communicative about our emotions. This is an ideal time for weaving words, be it through writing or sharing our thoughts with a trusted confidant. 

On Tuesday the 24th at 10:50am EST, the moon gracefully shifts into Cancer, where it will be until Thursday evening. Here in its celestial home, the moon expands our emotional realms, deepens our intuition, and strengthens our desire to be around close family and friends. As the day unfolds, Mercury forms a harmonious trine with Uranus at 1:27pm. This alignment brings fresh insights and innovative ideas, illuminating our minds and inviting us to see situations from new perspectives. It also enhances our ability to communicate in unexpected ways, reaching those we might not have thought possible.

The moon enters its Last Quarter phase at 2:49pm on Tuesday, pulling our attention to unfinished dreams and goals yet to be fulfilled. This stirs us to action and is ideal for completing projects, tying up loose ends, and finalizing details.

LATE WEEK

On Wednesday the 25th, Mercury enters into an opposition with Neptune at 7:06am EST, enhancing our imagination and aligning us with the ethereal realms of fantasy. While this can be fun and exciting, it may also lead us to overlook our responsibilities or struggle to stay grounded. We might find ourselves influenced by the emotions of those around us. The moon is in Cancer throughout the day, deepening the emotional currents that flow within.

On Thursday the 26th, Mercury trines Pluto at 12:14am, granting us clarity and courage in our communications. This alignment sharpens our observational skills and empowers us to ask for what we need, proving our worth with newfound confidence. At 4:08am, Mercury enters into Libra, where it will remain until October 13th. In this air sign, a spirit of harmony and balance impacts our thoughts and interactions. We could feel more social and are encouraged to reach out to others to gain inspiration and insights. Conflict can feel especially tricky to navigate during this two and a half week period; compromise is needed during this time.

As the day unfolds, the moon transitions into Leo at 6:47pm, remaining there until Sunday morning. Leo moon days awaken our creativity, encouraging us to express our emotions and bask in the warmth of self-expression. 

WEEKEND

We have two astrologically quiet days on Friday the 27th and Saturday the 28th, where no major transits unfold. The moon wanes in Leo during this time, inviting self-expression and warm, loving affection with those we care about. We could really enjoy spending time with animals and children as well.

As Sunday the 29th arrives, the Sun conjuncts the South Node of the Moon at 3:24am EST. This celestial event brings a wave of nostalgia over the day. We could experience intense memories or notice people from the past reaching out. We may find ourselves seeking comfort in familiar faces and situations. The theme deepens as Mercury also conjuncts the South Node later, at 8:19pm. We might feel drawn to share stories from yesteryears, delve into historical texts, or explore the mysteries of past lives.

At 5:41am on Thursday, the moon ingresses Virgo, offering us the opportunity to get organized and examine our emotions through an analytical lens. This Virgo moon energy can guide us to find clarity amidst the strong pull of our memories.
