[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of September 25 - October 1

Monday 9/25: 

• 🌔 Waxing Gibbous Moon | 12:44 AM
• ☽ at 17° 51‘ Aquarius ☉ at 02° 51‘ Libra 
• ☿ at 14° 51‘ Virgo △ ♃ at 14° 51‘ Taurus | 8:09 AM
• ☽ at 14° 49‘ Aquarius □ ♃ at 14° 49‘ Taurus | 7:48 PM

Monday your ability to think clearly is boosted by considering a broader perspective, making it easier to communicate and plan. You may have access to greater clarity which can open doors to new opportunities, making it a great time to structure and implement ideas.  

However, it's essential to find a middle ground to avoid overanalyzing or missing small details. While big ideas are appealing, remember to stay realistic. Make sure your enthusiasm doesn't lead you to take on too much. Instead, focus on combining detailed planning with your big-picture goals. 

Tuesday 9/26:

• ☽ at 19° 22‘ Aquarius △ ♂︎ at 19° 22‘ Libra | 3:12 AM
• ☽ at 20° 21‘ Aquarius ☍ ♀︎ at 20° 21‘ Leo | 4:47 AM
• ☽ at 22° 44‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 22° 44‘ Taurus | 8:38 AM
• ☽ ▻ Pisces | 8:18 PM
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 01° 41‘ Pisces | 11:00 PM

Tuesday the Moon is void for almost 12 hours, from 8:38 am until 8:18 pm eastern when the Moon moves into Pisces. The morning could bring unexpected events or feelings of restlessness. It’s not ideal to start brand new things during a void Moon but what it is great for is settling down and working hard on something you’ve already begun.

By evening, there's a shift towards introspection and a sense of responsibility. Be mindful of setting boundaries, particularly when dealing with commitments. Try to balance your own needs (yes, those matter too!) with those of others.

Wednesday 9/27:

• ☽ at 14° 40‘ Pisces ✳ ♃ at 14° 40‘ Taurus | 7:45 PM

Wednesday is lovely. There's an underlying mood of optimism, where emotional insights can be channeled into tangible, practical endeavors.

While the atmosphere promotes growth, make sure that your projects and plans align with long-term goals and are rooted in genuine needs rather than fleeting desires. Today is the day to blend the inspired with the pragmatic – channeling inspiration into sustainable actions.

Thursday 9/28:

• ☽ at 18° 46‘ Pisces ☍ ☿ at 18° 46‘ Virgo | 2:18 AM 
• ☽ at 22° 42‘ Pisces ✳ ♅ at 22° 42‘ Taurus | 8:35 AM
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 26° 01‘ Pisces | 1:53 PM
• ☽ at 27° 55‘ Pisces ✳ ♇ at 27° 55‘ Capricorn | 4:57 PM
• ☽ ▻ Aries | 8:17 PM

Thursday moments of clarity and insight might be interrupted by unexpected ideas or events. Pay attention but don’t act immediately, take notes to revisit them later instead. By the end of the day you'll probably feel more motivated to tackle tasks and consider new perspectives.

Friday 9/29:

• Aries 🌕 Full Moon | 5:57 AM
• ☽ at 06° 00‘ Aries ☍ ☉ at 06° 00‘ Libra 

Friday the Aries Full Moon will be exact at 5:57 am eastern and it’s intense. It will likely bring a heightened sense of self-assertion and ambition - which is pretty great for putting yourself out there. 

However, the drive to push forward contrasts with the Moon's ruler, Mars, in Libra alongside the South Node, suggesting  tension between wanting to take bold action and the desire for peace (that can be internal peace not just peace with others) at all costs.

Mars typically signifies strong desires, from personal ambitions to sexual impulses and Aries is all about self awareness and bold, authoritative independence. With that in mind, I’d suggest taking the time to think about what you truly desire (especially in the Aries part of your life) and then managing your mind so that you can go after it with all of the finesse and diplomacy an optimally functioning Mars in Libra can provide instead of letting any intrusive thoughts and lack of faith in yourself hold you back. 

About those Aries areas of life, by rising sign:

• Aries Rising: You may feel a renewed sense of individuality and the desire to present yourself confidently. While you want to come across assertively, you might also be conscious of how you're perceived in relationships, which could lead to self-restraint or indecision in personal actions.
• Taurus Rising: Internal conflicts between your personal desires and hidden fears or limitations might emerge. The drive to act is present, but past patterns or unseen forces might make you question or restrain certain decisions.
• Gemini Rising:  Your drive to take the lead in group settings or to assert your vision in community projects is strong. However, group dynamics or friendships might require you to temper your assertiveness, leading to negotiations or recalibrations of plans.
• Cancer Rising: Ambitions regarding career or public standing are heightened. But, interactions with authority figures or public perceptions may require tact and compromise, potentially affecting your professional moves.
• Leo Rising: A powerful desire to explore, learn, or travel might be felt. However, responsibilities or relationships could hold you back or reshape your plans, urging a balance between personal desires and external commitments.
• Virgo Rising: There's a pull to assert control over shared resources or dive deep into psychological matters. Yet, diplomacy might be required in financial partnerships or intimate relationships, leading to cautious moves.
• Libra Rising: Personal assertiveness could play out prominently in partnerships, potentially leading to conflicts or breakthroughs. A desire for individuality competes with the need to maintain relationship balance.
• Scorpio Rising: The drive to initiate new routines or work projects is strong. Yet, collaboration at work or health commitments may require compromise, possibly leading to inefficiencies or misunderstandings.
• Sagittarius Rising: A surge of creative energy and the desire for fun could be evident. Relationships or collaborations, especially those that are romantic or tied to pleasure pursuits, might require balancing between self-expression and harmony.
• Capricorn Rising: Personal ambitions might drive you to make changes in the home environment or family dynamics. However, you might hesitate to push forward due to concerns about maintaining peace within the household.
• Aquarius Rising:  Your communication style may become more direct, potentially causing debates. Simultaneously, there might be a pull to keep conversations harmonious, leading to instances where you could suppress your true opinions.
• Pisces Rising: There could be a strong impulse to take control of your financial situation or value system. However, external partnerships or commitments might make you rethink spending or investing decisions. Tensions between personal desires and shared resources might emerge.
