Astrology for the Week of September 6 - 12

Before we get started, I want to mention that all times I’m going to discuss are in the central time zone. If you want to see the aspects discussed in the forecast on your digital calendar in your time zone, you can get that here.

Monday: 

• ♂︎ at 24° 31‘ Virgo △ ♇ at 24° 31‘ Capricorn @ 7:19am
• ♀︎ at 25° 00‘ Libra △ ♃ at 25° 00‘ Aquarius  @ 8:05 am
• Virgo 🌑 New Moon 
• ☽ and ☉ at 14° 38‘ Virgo @ 7:51 pm
• ☽ at 14° 39‘ Virgo △ ♅ at 14° 39‘ Taurus @ 7:54 pm
• ☉ at 14° 39‘ Virgo △ ♅ at 14° 39‘ Taurus @ 8:28 pm

Late Sunday night Venus squared Pluto which could have been causing some issues with relationships over the past couple of days leading to a desire for some sort of confrontation. Now that could be a marriage proposal, separation, or just a run-of-the-mill desire for a conversation around boundaries but it likely has to do with something you want and a desire for there to be a change or transformation in your experience of it. It could even be a battle between what you want for the future and your current reality. 

You may have been holding your tongue or putting off lifestyle changes, but with Mars squaring Pluto Monday morning, the desire to go out and make something happen could feel necessary -  especially with a Venus Jupiter trine happening shortly after, making *everything* feel like it’s tied into following your bliss or destiny. And it can totally be blissful to extrovert your feelings all over someone else for the temporary relief that comes from no longer internalizing them. That’s the current vibe for you and all of the other people out there but this is where the free will part of astrology comes in. You get to decide how you handle the energy this morning. Take a breath and don’t push others - and if they’re being a little extra pushy,  don’t react to them testing your limits. Take the time to really dive into the thoughts that are causing you to feel any sense of urgency and if the action you are feeling compelled to take is driven by feelings of joy and expansiveness or fear and scarcity. 

If you like your reasons for taking the action you’ve been considering, then today is a great day to get the ball rolling, especially since later Monday night we hit the Virgo New Moon at 7:51 pm which has both luminaries applying to a trine with Uranus. Take all of that energy and start working on a plan for implementation. Be willing to think outside of the box and build in room for flexibility, since they may not go exactly as planned. But remember - that’s not really a bad thing. After all, getting lost is sometimes the best part of the journey. Spend the rest of the week thinking, dreaming, and planning for the new seeds you want to plant. 

Tuesday:

• ☽ at 21° 58‘ Virgo ☍ ♆ at 21° 58‘ Pisces @8:34 am
• ☽ at 24° 30‘ Virgo △ ♇ at 24° 30‘ Capricorn @ 12:56pm
• ☽ ☌ ♂︎ at 25° 21‘ Virgo @ 2:23 pm
• Void 2:23 - 10:20
• ☽ ▻ Libra

Tuesday morning might be a little dreamy or hard to pin down with the Moon opposing Neptune at 8:34 am but then all of the energy from the past couple of days gets a little emotional boost when the Moon trines Pluto and joins up with Mars. Don’t worry if you’re feeling a little more emo or your anger is a little closer to the edge. It won’t last long and if you can hold out till about 2:30, you’ll have a nice void moon to relax into for the rest of the day when the Moon enters Libra at 10:20 pm.

Wednesday:

• ☽ at 07° 43‘ Libra △ ♄ at 07° 43‘ Aquarius @ 11:28 am
• ☽ ☌ ☿ at 12° 45‘ Libra @ 8pm

Wednesday is a solid day for work with the Moon trining Saturn and then joining up with Mercury. Work on fleshing out any plans you made during the New Moon, or stick to your to-do list and make it one of the most productive (and least emotional) days of the week.

Thursday:

• ☽ at 24° 28‘ Libra □ ♇ at 24° 28‘ Capricorn @ 3:47 pm
• ☽ at 24° 38‘ Libra △ ♃ at 24° 38‘ Aquarius @ 4:03 pm
• ☽ ☌ ♀︎ at 29° 14‘ Libra @ 11:47 pm
• Void 11:47 - 1:05 am Friday 

Thursday is quiet like Wednesday but with more of an emotionally charged vibe. You still have the opportunity to accomplish a lot but as you inch towards the afternoon, you may feel more of those strong feelings bubbling up. Today, and really the first half of the week, is a great time to pay attention to any of the recurring feelings you’ve been experiencing as everything has been bumping up against Pluto. There’s always a reason behind those powerful feelings that we feel like waves crashing into us on the beach. There’s no reason you have to fight them or react to them. They’re an opportunity to think about the underlying cause. 

Are you angry because you’re scared and if so, of what and why? Look beneath the surface of the answer you’ve been giving yourself and try to find the truth. For example, you’re not angry that your partner didn’t take out the trash. You’re making it mean something, like they don’t respect your time or they don’t love you. The conversation you really crave isn’t how they suck for not doing the thing, it’s a conversation with yourself about why you expected them to, what it means to you that they didn’t, what it means to them that you asked, and why they didn’t. I know, it’s easier to just be mad at the action but that’s just your Mars still being frisky and the Moon squaring Pluto is about deeper insights. Especially since it will then be trining expansive open-minded Jupiter shortly after and then gliding towards Venus for the rest of the night. 

Friday:

• ☽ ▻ Scorpio @ 1:05 am
• 🌒 Waxing Crescent Moon 
• ☽ at 02° 57‘ Scorpio ☉ at 17° 57‘ Virgo @ 6:03 am
• ☽ at 07° 37‘ Scorpio □ ♄ at 07° 37‘ Aquarius @ 1:53 pm
• ♀︎ ▻ Scorpio 3:39 pm

Friday is the day of Venus, that’s why Friday night dates are so popular. However, with the Moon moving into Scorpio early in the morning and then squaring Saturn before Venus tangos into Scorpio… the day might start off feeling a little frustrating and intense and the night might just amp that vibe up. Of course, if you like a little intensity with your Venus, it could just feel like a great night to explore all of the delightfully dark sensual Scorpionic themes with that special someone. 

Saturday:

• ☽ at 14° 35‘ Scorpio ☍ ♅ at 14° 35‘ Taurus @ 1:36 am
• ☽ at 19° 03‘ Scorpio ✳ ☉ at 19° 03‘ Virgo @ 9:07 am
• ☽ at 21° 51‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 21° 51‘ Pisces @ 1:50 pm
• ☽ at 24° 24‘ Scorpio □ ♃ at 24° 24‘ Aquarius @ 6:08 pm
• ☽ at 24° 27‘ Scorpio ✳ ♇ at 24° 27‘ Capricorn @ 6:13 pm

The Moon in Scorpio has a busy day with aspects to Uranus, the Sun, Neptune, Jupiter, and Pluto. It feels like a very active or productive day that you could spend playing or working - this depends on your preferences. The evening has the Moon moving towards a sextile with Mars, so you may have more energy and confidence for dancing (or other fun adult activities) or you could just be closer to the edge again, feeling frustrated and angry. You get to decide how you want to channel that energy. Moving forward with tolerance and confidence (shake it out with a dance party if you aren’t feeling it initially) will likely serve you better than impulsive frustration.

Sunday: 

• ☽ at 28° 12‘ Scorpio ✳ ♂︎ at 28° 12‘ Virgo @ 1:32 am
• Void 1:32 - 3:34 am
• ☽ ▻ Sagittarius @ 3:34 am
• ☽ at 07° 31‘ Sagittarius ✳ ♄ at 07° 31‘ Aquarius @ 4:17 pm

Hello Sunday! The week ends with the Moon feeling less intense in Sagittarius and more productive as it squares Saturn. Make your to-do list for the week and finish up anything that you’d planned for the weekend. Today is a great day for setting up that implementation plan for the new endeavor you’ve been thinking about all week. You may have already taken some action as you were in planning mode with all of the activity going on but if you’re setting up a new routine or foundations for your future, today is a great day to officially begin.

If you’re feeling frisky, hit me up on Instagram and let me know how the astrology of the week played out for you.

Until next time, my wish for you is a new beginning on this week of the Virgo new moon and a delightfully devilish experience of Venus in Scorpio.
