[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of September 16-22

This week has a silly amount of change baked into it. We have the first eclipse in a new series and two planets are changing signs. 

Monday 09/16

• ☽ at 27° 10‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 27° 10‘ Taurus | 1:03 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 1:03 - 5:38 am eastern
• ☽ ▻ Pisces | 5:38 am eastern
• ☽ at 07° 05‘ Pisces △ ♂︎ at 07° 05‘ Cancer | 5:03 pm eastern 

Monday the eclipse energy really starts to increase once the Moon enters Pisces at 5:38 am eastern.

Fortunately, there is still a sense of motivation flowing that can make effort that feels productive and connected to what matters most easier to tackle. 

Tuesday 09/17

• ☽ at 13° 16‘ Pisces ☍ ☿ at 13° 16‘ Virgo | 2:55 am eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 15° 19‘ Pisces  | 6:10 am eastern
• ☽ at 20° 34‘ Pisces □ ♃ at 20° 34‘ Gemini | 6:30 pm eastern
• ☼ Lunar Eclipse | Pisces 🌕 Full Moon | 10:34 pm eastern
• ☉ ☍ ☽ at 25° 40‘ Pisces

Tuesday morning starts off a little heavy but then there’s almost a sense of optimism or expansion as we move towards the first Pisces Lunar Eclipse since 2016. 

About that eclipse. 

The Lunar Eclipse brings an awareness of the gap between what you think you know and what feels uncertain, making it a day full of conflicting signals and mixed messages. 

You might find yourself trying to piece together information that doesn’t quite fit or dealing with plans that seem clear on the surface but have hidden complications. 

There’s a pull between trying to organize your thoughts and being swept up in distractions or unexpected shifts, making it easy to overestimate, misunderstand, or miss the finer details. 

This eclipse may highlight where clear communication and realistic expectations are needed but may also reveal where assumptions and unexamined ideas have clouded your path forward.

Wednesday 09/18

• ☽ at 27° 08‘ Pisces ✳ ♅ at 27° 08‘ Taurus | 12:53 am eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 28° 35‘ Pisces | 3:10 am eastern
• ☿ at 15° 15‘ Virgo ☍ ♄ at 15° 15‘ Pisces | 4:50 am eastern
• ☽ at 29° 46‘ Pisces ✳ ♇ at 29° 46‘ Capricorn | 5:02 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 5:02 - 5:23 am eastern
• ☽ ▻ Aries | 5:23 am eastern
• ☽ at 08° 15‘ Aries □ ♂︎ at 08° 15‘ Cancer | 6:27 pm eastern 

Wednesday morning you may have an eclipse hangover but that should start to clear up once the Moon moves into Aries at 5:23 am eastern.

Even though clarity and motivation may return, frustrations might pop up, things may not go exactly as planned, or conversations could be more strained than usual. Alternatively, you might find yourself having difficult conversations.

And on top of it all (or perhaps because of?) patience might be in short supply and tempers easy to ignite. 

Just remember, astrology and all of the things it indicates are just neutral circumstances. You always have the opportunity to lead yourself with curiosity and actively choose how you think about each circumstance - and how you respond. 

If that feels overwhelming or impossible, I can help in The Crusade. I’ll give you all the tools you need to go on thought SAFARIs and coaching to support you when you find rampaging thoughts you need help capturing.

Thursday 09/19

• ☉ at 27° 07‘ Virgo △ ♅ at 27° 07‘ Taurus  | 10:04 am eastern
• ☽ at 20° 42‘ Aries ✳ ♃ at 20° 42‘ Gemini | 2:11 pm eastern
• ☽ at 26° 22‘ Aries ☍ ♀︎ at 26° 22‘ Libra | 11:13 pm eastern

Thursday is the kind of day where you may be tempted, or inspired, to break out of old patterns and routines, try new approaches, or feel a rush of excitement to do things differently.

This can open up opportunities for creative solutions, but it can also mean sudden changes that feel disruptive or make it hard to keep both feet firmly planted on the ground. 

The desire to innovate might clash with your need for stability (or your desire to innovate may clash with someone else’s desire for stability), creating tension between embracing the new and managing the unexpected. 

Friday 09/20

• ☽ at 29° 45‘ Aries □ ♇ at 29° 45‘ Capricorn | 4:38 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 4:38 - 5:02 am eastern
• ☽ ▻ Taurus | 5:02 am eastern
• ☉ at 28° 30‘ Virgo ☍ ♆ at 28° 30‘ Pisces  | 8:16 pm eastern
• ☽ at 09° 25‘ Taurus ✳ ♂︎ at 09° 25‘ Cancer | 8:18 pm eastern 

Friday has a lot of distraction and uncertainty, where what you see or hear may not match up with reality. This could mean you don’t have all of the facts or that you’re not seeing clearly which can make it more difficult to know what to do next.

It’s easy to get lost in daydreams or let vague worries cloud your focus, making even simple tasks feel more complex. The energy may feel scattered, as the drive to push forward is met with an unclear path ahead.

Saturday 09/21

• 🌖 Waning Gibbous Moon | 3:36 am eastern
• ☿ at 20° 48‘ Virgo □ ♃ at 20° 48‘ Gemini  | 4:49 am eastern
• ☽ at 15° 01‘ Taurus ✳ ♄ at 15° 01‘ Pisces | 5:27 am eastern
• ☽ at 21° 42‘ Taurus △ ☿ at 21° 42‘ Virgo | 4:30 pm eastern

Saturday is all about big ideas and big enthusiasm; it’s great for brainstorming, exploring new concepts, or letting your imagination roam. There’s also a deeper, more focused energy that can help you dig into complex tasks or uncover important insights.

However, there could be a pretty significant gap between what you have planned (or what you’re planning) and what is actually feasible, even with the added determination and focus that can help push through challenges. 

Overcommitting or missing key details could lead to misunderstandings, making it easy to feel scattered or stretched too thin, as the drive to dig deeper may conflict with the need to stay realistic. 

Sunday 09/22

• ☽ ☌ ♅ at 27° 04‘ Taurus | 1:29 am eastern
• ☉ at 29° 44‘ Virgo △ ♇ at 29° 44‘ Capricorn | 2:11 am eastern
• ☽ at 28° 28‘ Taurus ✳ ♆  at 28° 28‘ Pisces | 3:50 am eastern
• ☽ at 29° 43‘ Taurus △ ♇ at 29° 43‘ Capricorn | 5:57 am eastern
• ☽ at 29° 53‘ Taurus △ ☉ at 29° 53‘ Virgo | 6:13 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 6:13 - 6:24 am eastern
• ☽ ▻ Gemini | 6:24 am eastern
• ☉ ▻ Libra | 8:43 am eastern
• ♀︎ at 29° 43‘ Libra □ ♇ at 29° 43‘ Capricorn | 5:14 pm eastern
• ♀︎ ▻ Scorpio | 10:36 pm eastern 

Sunday morning is great for digging into tasks with focus and determination, making it easier to tackle complex issues or finalize important details. There’s a steady flow that helps you stay on track, with just enough inspiration to see things through to completion without losing sight of what truly matters.

But when I say morning I mean very early morning for my US readers because at 6:13 am eastern everything begins to shift when the Moon moves into Gemini followed at 8:43 am with the Sun moving into Libra. 

The Sun in Libra is about weighing options and seeking balance, with a focus on fairness, decision-making, and the careful assessment of what is just and appropriate.

Throughout the day Venus is squaring off against Pluto, which brings up intense dynamics, highlighting conflicts over control, power, or deeply rooted issues in relationships or agreements.

Ready for one more big shift? Venus moves into Scorpio at 10:36 pm eastern. Venus in Scorpio is more reserved and cautious, emphasizing loyalty, strategic connections, and a discerning approach to relationships. It’s a shift towards valuing perseverance and the willingness to confront challenges directly, often with a focus on commitment and resilience in the face of difficulties.

Until next time, my wish for you is illumination on your path forward. -Robin💋
