Sep 16 through Sep 22
You can enhance your understanding by applying the Houses these signs and Planets are falling into in your Natal Chart. I am happy to help you with figuring that out, at no cost to you— just shoot me an email!!
From Last Week: Much of this week contains the peaking or perfecting of the aspects from last week.
Mars approaches the bends of the Lunar Nodes: Mars entering Cancer immediately makes a strong Square angle (90˚; ±10˚) to the Eclipse points in Aries and Libra. The Eclipse points move in the opposite direction as the planets. So they are moving toward 0˚ of Aries and Libra and will soon enter the signs before them, Pisces and Virgo.
Mars rules Aries and thus creates a strong connection to this particular tension, which although stressful, helps the energies interact, hopefully preventing the situation getting stuck. The messier and more emotionally driven instinctive operation of Mars in Cancer, and the attention to the Cancer House must reconcile with the drive toward Self-assertion, independence and freedom. Consider where you feel a conflict between what you want to protect and what you want to be unhindered from? Then in the Libra House, where are you generally conflict avoidant? The emotional outbursting of Mars in Cancer makes it harder to be demure, socially refined, and proper in the Libran House.
So the final Cardinal sign is Capricorn, a missing energy, a fourth leg to the table. To balance the situation we need to exist in truth and practical decision making. Capricorn knows some Libran values are pretentious but appreciates its tact. Capricorn lives to create that stable space for the emotionally shifting Cancer and will call out victimhood. Capricorn holds Aries to a standard in exchange for feeding off its momentum.
Your responsibilities can ground you in this situation. Though you must be truthful for the outbursting of your desire for some form of freedom will erupt. Should we continue to bottle, these forgotten ambitions become resentment, health complications, and our children’s problems.
There is not the attention of Capricorn here, so we may have to accept the shifting of our structures in order to be brave. Cancer is needy, Mars is impulsive. Allow those energies to come together with only as much decorum as allows you to still be open and honest.
This aspect really hinders on relationships. Sexuality, leadership, politics, home life, infrastructure, and business can all be deeply affected here. Though reviewing your relevant Houses will be good. I’ve added an image below to help. Sagittarius Rising with Cancer 8th house (Transformation), Libra 11th (Social spheres), Aries 5th (Creativity), Capricorn 2nd (Resources); these are called the Succedent Houses, they correlate with the Fixed Signs, and have aims for stability. Kinda tough for y’all honestly, but you’ll keep that optimistic face as usual.
***This Aspect will have peaked on Sunday, September 15th. So you will be feeling fallout from whatever was occurring. Though we will still be feeling this dynamic. Your emotions will still be turned up.
Uranus Trine Sun: Occurring very close with the Neptune Sun opposition, though the strength of this energy builds a bit faster. This Aspect peaks Thursday September 19th. Uranus offers its restless and mentally liberating energy to the Sun in a flowing trine. So we feel the energy without tension. Creative genius by way of Earthy matters, like restructuring the use of resources or new pleasures. The expression of the Sun becomes harder to hinder with Uranus in this testimony, and the Virgo energy will feed off of that.
Sun opposition Neptune: This aspect perfects late Friday September 20th. The Retrograde Neptune’s reconsideration of the direction of the collective’s emotional and spiritual development is illuminated and made more consciously aware for this time. We may notice how our artistry reflects our feelings in a big moment. Projection and reflection becomes easier with this kind of light. We will draw inspiration from the energetic exchanges of everyday life. Victims will be called out. This situation will be a rude awakening for the victim; criticizing energy from the Sun in Virgo with Mercury close by. It will be good to consider the Pisces Area of your life and get those ducks in a row.
Venus Opposition Chiron: This aspect perfects on Monday September 16th. At this time, Venus’ strong harmonizing energy can offer a healing, heartfelt, and receptive space to the healing of Chiron in Aries. Chiron in Aries needs to accept old wounds for trusting instincts, feeling enough, affirmation of the identity, and sexual confidence. There is an opportunity to open up our Aries nature to an accepting space.
This is still a time in which wounds are made vulnerable, and whether that is to a healing or harming environment demands your awareness. Again, Mars in Cancer does not support Martian expression of bravery and decisiveness, but it does promote tenderness and healing. An example, this might look like exploring sexuality with this intention of having to work through emotions in the midst of it.
Chiron wounding is often from incredibly high standards we could never dream of hitting and the mind falling into a cycle of inadequacy. So there could be a wounding (really a picking of a scab) or healing for Cardinal signs, or in the Aries Libra houses. Sometimes we need to be reminded of an emotional wound in order to heal it. Also, there is a metaphor like, sometimes doctors need to re-break a bone so it heals correctly.
In Aries and Libra we deal with trying to see our own instinctual expressions integrate into the Customs of society. Often it can be a fight. Think of when a child moves into a new school district and they must settle into that space. They are vulnerable, especially to those who enforce customs, like bullies, authorities, and the general social expectations in the ethers. Often the best course of action is for the new person to show a little bit of strength, but not too much as to disrupt the existing pecking order. Though those situations are complex.
Finding balance for how much space we take up. How we take up space. How this relates with how we deal with conflict.
Venus Square Pluto: This aspect perfects on Sunday September 22nd. It aids in the opening of the expression through a stronger swelling of desire which is difficult to resist. This could be greed, arousal, or exposing curiosities. Great temptation.
This Week:
Mercury Opposition Neptune: This aspect begins to build during the end of this week. Oppositions, dealing with relating, in this case can see conversations which seem mystical, blurry, confusion, or come with themes of victimization. Our routines may be dissolved. We may have an unforeseen sickness disrupt our daily life, or the use of our manual dexterity. Be wary of confusion, illusion, or subtle permeating/breakdown of your Mercurial systems (boundaries, thinking, communication) from another person or entity.
Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: Tuesday September 17th, this Eclipse will max out. Click Here to view the map. This occurs with the Moon in Pisces, Sun in Virgo; though the Eclipse points are in Libra (South Node) and Aries (North Node). This eclipse’ effect will not be as clear as those coming in March 2025. Though regardless we will have to listen to the body better for spiritual communication. Virgo and Pisces deal with the relationship between the material and immaterial. The evidence and intuition we work with in life. Breakdown in Virgo and Synthesis in Pisces. How does your conscious processing of food, information, and energy translate in your body and spirit? Often people can be unaware of the connection between what they ingest or the quality of what they ingest(food/vibes/information) and how they are feeling. This relationship will be important to the relevant Houses in our Natal Charts.
This Eclipse will be in contact with each of our Generational Planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The routines we are used to may need to be altered in order to unlock our spiritual/psychic gifts. We will have a heightened awareness of the “flaws” in our system which will have to be attended to during this cycle of Eclipses. Stretching, eating right, better mental talk, etc. Again, it may likely carry generational implications and you can reflect on what is passed down to your generation, how you can purify your system and how our system purifies itself on the generational scale.
Sun Trine Pluto: This aspect will peak right at the end of this week. This cycle can deal with the hidden and taboo expressions we engage with. And more graceful events around hidden structures like plumbing or foundations. With this specific phase we may learn something. How leaders conduct themselves behind closed doors. We may see our deeper desires surface, which may be material and come from a place of perfectionism.
*The date ranges reflect the Moon being a majority in the given sign during a 5am-11:59pm EST range. Moon Signs naturally set each other up for a successful procession through life's subtle developments. The Moon functions as a catalyst and distributor of the energies from the other Celestial bodies.
The Moon in Pisces - Sep 16-17: These Moon can be difficult for many people, which is why I like them myself. The emotions become very open. Thus there can be a chaos in which some things draw lots of attention, but others might be able to move in accordance with that distraction. Though this will align with the Eclipse, not the first day.
The Moon in Aries - Sep 18-19: More impulsivity and this will later on trigger the Chiron in Aries which will be opposite Venus. Moon in Aries may, for instance, be more sexual and seek that situation which may warrant traversing healing/wounds. Have some fun though.
Moon in Taurus - Sep 20-21: This moon enjoys more sensual pleasures and comfort. This Moon can be good for typical enjoyment and making the best of situations as joy is in high regard. We can try to plan activities around these Moons.
Moon in Gemini - Sep 22: Chatter and messaging. This Moon might make you restless, keep you awake at night, and let the unconscious speak for you. Try to tire yourself out.
The body has been trying to communicate with you these past weeks. It will continue to. There are many peaks seeing dark matter come up from that chasm beneath the soul. What is keeping you from having a flowing communication with this part of yourself? Denial, bad habits, self-loathing?
