[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of September 4-10

If you look forward to these astrology insights, you should join me in The Crusade. It’s a membership that blends practical astrology with weekly mindset coaching in a way that will make you feel like Neo waking up to the truth about the Matrix.

Last night Venus stationed direct and today Jupiter stations retrograde. Those are some massive energetic shifts within less than 24 hours but it’s not bad. 

In fact, I consider most of September to be pretty lovely. Even with Mercury retrograde for the first couple of weeks, it’s a functional retrograde of tidying up and preparing, not one of unmitigated chaos. 

Monday 9/4: 

• ☿ at 15° 34‘ Virgo △ ♃ at 15° 34‘ Taurus | 6:29 AM
• ☽ at 11° 40‘ Taurus △ ☉ at 11° 40‘ Virgo | 7:12 AM

Monday there is a lot going on. The focus is on refining your strategies to ensure they align with your long-term objectives. 

Clear communication and practical growth are front and center and time should be given to reviewing resources (time, money, energy) to make sure they’re being used effectively.

Grounded decision-making is key, with an emphasis on sustainable growth and genuine relationships. Embrace analytical insights and prioritize tangible outcomes for optimal progress.

Tips for each rising sign to consider while Jupiter is retrograde.

Tuesday the focus is on harnessing productivity and creating stability in the early hours. There's a strong emphasis on being resourceful and consistent. 

As the day progresses, there's a shift towards communication and adaptability. It's a great time to engage in logical discussions, learn from others, and articulate your thoughts clearly. However, be mindful of becoming too scattered or indecisive in the evening. 

Wednesday 9/6:

• ☽ at 06° 17‘ Gemini △ ♂︎ at 06° 17‘ Libra | 3:44 AM
• ☉ at 13° 36‘ Virgo ☌ ☿ at 13° 36‘ Virgo | 7:09 AM
• ☽ at 12° 20‘ Gemini ✳ ♀︎ at 12° 20‘ Leo | 3:06 PM
• ☽ at 13° 13‘ Gemini □ ☿ at 13° 13‘ Virgo | 4:45 PM
• 🌗 Last Quarter Moon | 6:21 PM
• ☽ at 14° 03‘ Gemini ☉ at 14° 03‘ Virgo 

Wednesday there is a Sun Mercury conjunction in Virgo that indicates a period of introspection, refinement, and practical problem-solving. By focusing on clear communication, efficient processes, and aligning actions with core objectives, you have the opportunity to move forward with greater clarity and purpose, ensuring that growth and development are rooted in authenticity and practicality.

Later in the day, you might face challenges in communication; it's crucial to remain patient and detail-oriented. Address any misunderstandings with a practical and analytical approach. 

Throughout the day, prioritize direct communication, efficient processes, and aligning your actions with your main objectives. 

Finally, try to stay grounded, be proactive, and prioritize meaningful and productive interactions.

Thursday 9/7:

• ☽ at 26° 35‘ Gemini □ ♆ at 26° 35‘ Pisces | 6:21 PM

Thursday you might find yourself facing situations where clear communication is more challenging - but that isn’t necessarily bad. 

While your logical and communicative side may be strong, there could be subtle undercurrents of emotions that are harder to articulate. Allow yourself to feel these emotions but try not to let them cloud your judgment.

There's a risk of becoming too caught up in details or over-analyzing situations. Instead of spinning out, focus on actionable steps and move forward. 

If you feel uncertain or confused, seek clarity by discussing your thoughts with someone you trust. Sometimes, verbalizing your feelings can help in understanding them better.

Friday 9/8:

• ☽ ▻ Cancer | 12:59 AM
• ☽ at 02° 55‘ Cancer △ ♄ at 02° 55‘ Pisces | 6:43 AM
• ☉ at 15° 33‘ Virgo △ ♃ at 15° 33‘ Taurus | 7:12 AM
• ☽ at 07° 56‘ Cancer □ ♂︎ at 07° 56‘ Libra | 4:33 PM
• ☽ at 11° 10‘ Cancer ✳ ☿ at 11° 10‘ Virgo | 10:56 PM

Friday is all about structure, growth, and clear communication. Focus on tasks that will yield tangible results. It’s not a research and daydreaming kind of day. Instead, review projects, relationships, goals, and plans to ensure that all future growth is  steady, sustainable, and rooted in practicality.

In the afternoon and evening you may encounter situations that require a greater degree of tact. While it's always important to advocate for yourself, try to make sure you love your reasons for any harsh actions and words instead of just snapping indiscriminately.

Saturday 9/9:

• ☽ at 15° 32‘ Cancer ✳ ♃ at 15° 32‘ Taurus | 7:38 AM
• ☽ at 16° 37‘ Cancer ✳ ☉ at 16° 37‘ Virgo | 9:48 AM
• ☽ at 23° 00‘ Cancer ✳ ♅ at 23° 00‘ Taurus | 10:33 PM

Saturday the theme is harnessing opportunities for growth, maintaining clarity in your objectives, and being open to innovative solutions. Approach the day with a practical mindset, stay focused on actionable steps, and be ready to adapt when necessary.

Sunday 9/10: 

• ☽ at 26° 31‘ Cancer △ ♆ at 26° 31‘ Pisces | 5:36 AM
• ☽ at 28° 06‘ Cancer ☍ ♇ at 28° 06‘ Capricorn | 8:47 AM
• ☽ ▻ Leo | 12:36 PM
• 🌘 Waning Crescent Moon | 6:33 PM
• ☽ at 02° 57‘ Leo ☉ at 17° 57‘ Virgo 

Sunday morning is a bit more emo than the rest of the week. It could be used effectively for journaling, thoughtwork, coaching, or deep conversations. Also sleeping in, daydreaming, or wandering to your favorite coffee shop to contemplate the meaning of life. It’s not ideal for clarity or confidence.

However, once the Moon moves into Leo at 12:36 pm eastern the day starts to come into focus and you may find yourself feeling more productive and ready to take action. 

Until next time, my wish for you is an eagerness to do the work required to achieve the life you want.
