Astrology Forecast for the Week of September 27, 2021 – October 3, 2021

The astrology forecast for the week of September 27, 2021 – October 3, 2021 features six major aspects (Venus trine Neptune, Sun trine Saturn, Venus square Jupiter, Mercury Rx square Pluto, Venus sextile Pluto, and Mercury Rx trine Jupiter) and the trickster god Mercury turns retrograde on Monday. So it’s going to be a busy week in the cosmos!

Cosmic Overview:

On Monday, Mercury turns retrograde in Libra.  So, relationships (ruled by Libra) are under the gun, continuing until October 18. So, I created this Mercury retrograde checklist to keep you in the know.

Mercury Rx Dirty Dozen! Tips and Tricks to Wrangling the Trickster God

  1. Make sure you go over anything contractual thoroughly.  Make sure all the i’s are dotted, and all the t’s are crossed. Then, if you can get away with it, wait until after the retrograde is over to sign on the dotted line. 
  2. Avoid starting anything new.  New projects tend to have communication problems and mishaps when initiated during this process.
  3. Put a watch on your tongue.  (If it is not worth saying, don’t say it)
  4. Check your vehicles for any potential problems.  Before Mercury goes retrograde is the best time for a service call.
  5. Avoid buying real estate or renting apartments.  Usually, this means you are just going to move again during a future Mercury Rx.
  6. Using mail delivery services that offer tracking and insurance – especially now since the Post Office has still not recovered from the pandemic.
  7. Check, recheck, and check again any travel plans you have or appointments that are on the books.
  8. If you do travel, don’t take anything of importance or value. Only bring items that you do not care if they are lost or stolen.
  9. Expect people from the past to resurface.  However, once they do crawl out of whatever cavern they came from, proceed with caution.
  10. Back up all electronic devices.
  11. Avoid buying an automobile. 
  12. Mercury Rx is a great time to scour places (online and offline) for great deals!

Now, on with the forecast…

Monday, September 27, 2021

Besides Mercury turning retrograde in Libra, the Moon spends the day in frenetic Gemini. You may find the afternoon hours a bit tricky, as the Moon squares Neptune.  Your emotions may be on overdrive, and you may easily react to those around you.  If you are confused about making decisions, sit on them for now because your emotions may highly influence you. Later this evening, the Moon trines Jupiter giving a more optimistic tone to the evening hours. It’s a great time to enjoy the company of others.

Tuesday, September 28, 2021

The Moon moves into the sign of Cancer, and family matters may be an important theme throughout the day. You may need to resolve minor issues with relatives during the evening hours. Try to be guided by your emotions but not controlled them.

Wednesday, September 29, 2021

Wednesday is a contradiction of opposites. On the one hand, Venus trines Neptune, and it’s not the best time to get things done because your mind will be distracted by your daydreams and fantasies. However, this energy is perfect for creative projects that need vision and inspiration.  On the other hand, the Sun forms a productive trine to Saturn.  The Sun trine Saturn is ordinarily a great day to be disciplined and focus on the structures in your life. Everyone needs a foundation to live a productive life, and now is an excellent time to examine the things in your life that promote your individual growth.

The key for today is finding balance (such a Libra word) between both worlds. It’s good to let go, play, and forget about the real world, but we still need to take care of our responsibilities and obligations when necessary. If you’ve been working too hard, taking some time to relax and smell the roses may be required. But, if you’ve been lax and unfocused, you may want to step up your game.

Thursday, September 30, 2021

We follow up yesterday’s Venus trine Neptune with Venus square Jupiter. Ordinarily, squares are challenging, but since Venus and Jupiter are both benefic planets, acting impulsively is the most difficult part of this aspect. Avoid doing anything simply because you need excitement and action in your life. This could lead to decisions you may later regret. However, it’s a great time to socialize and do things you enjoy.

Friday, October 1, 2021

It’s time to dive deep on Friday when Mercury retrograde squares Pluto. It’s an auspicious day to get to the root of internal struggles and resolve them. The insights you receive today may lead you to make changes in your life that foster significant life improvement and individual growth. Also, if you experienced problems with others last week (when Mercury squared Pluto while he was direct), now would be a good time to clear the air, make amends if necessary, and move forward.

Saturday, October 2, 2021

Your relationships with others will be exceptionally intense, and Venus sextiles Pluto.  Your emotions will be in overdrive, and you will seek more profound experiences with those around you.  You can use your experiences to understand your feelings and use these newfound insights to improve your relationships.

Sunday, October 3, 2021

We close the week with a lovely aspect between Mercury and Jupiter. Sunday is an excellent day to reevaluate your plans and make adjustments or modifications if necessary.  However, wait until Mercury turns direct before acting. It’s also a great day to let go of the old by releasing any negative feelings you’ve been holding onto and begin to focus on the positive and your future potential.

See you next week!

The Astrology Forecast for September 20, 2021 – September 26, 2021

The astrology forecast for September 20, 2021 – September 26, 2021, features four aspects (Mercury trine Jupiter, Mercury square Pluto, Venus opposes Uranus, and Mars trines Saturn), the Full Moon in Pisces, and the beginning of Libra season.

Cosmic Highlight:

The main highlight of the week is the Full Moon in Pisces, which happens on Monday. So, get out your snorkel; it’s time to swim.  Your intuitive faculties will be at their peak, so it’s an auspicious time to focus on your dreams, meditation, creativity, and connecting with spirit. Since the Full Moon starts a two-week cycle of releasing and letting go of things that no longer serve you, it’s an excellent time to work on addictions and self-defeating behaviors. Use this cycle wisely.

Now, on with the forecast…

Monday, September 20, 2021

We start the week with a beautiful aspect between Mercury in Libra and Jupiter in Aquarius. This aspect is called a trine, and it’s harmonious, peaceful, and light-hearted energy. Mercury-Jupiter aspects are great for signing documents, finalizing contracts, and focusing on plans for the future. So, your mood should be relatively optimistic throughout the day.

Now, a word to the wise: Take advantage of this aspect while you can. Next week, Mercury turns retrograde, and there will not be another easy aspect to Jupiter, while Mercury is direct, until November 1.

Tuesday, September 21, 2021

The Moon moves through energetic Aries, and during the morning, the Moon opposes challenging Mars in Libra. Expect possible disagreements with others. People will be easily agitated, so you may need to keep a low profile. Later in the day, the Moon sextiles Saturn. Focus on projects and tasks that matter.

Wednesday, September 22, 2021

Trouble is brewing early in the day, as Mercury forms a nasty aspect to Pluto in Capricorn. The most significant difficulty with Mercury square Pluto is that it can easily provoke arguments. Mercury rules the mind, and Pluto is about power. So, when we put these two principles together, there is a tendency to try to get people to think as we do, or for them to try to force us into thinking like them. But, of course, whenever you try to apply pressure (squares) to someone, there becomes a need to stand one’s ground. So, it’s best to avoid controversial or ‘hot button’ topics today. Also, Mercury square Pluto can lead to obsessive thoughts and, in some cases, paranoia.

The best way to work with Mercury square Pluto is through introspection. You can use this energy to dig deep within your soul and discover insights you didn’t know or weren’t aware of before. If worked with correctly, this aspect can be life-altering.

There is a ray of sunshine on Wednesday – the Sun moves out of Virgo and into Libra. Although the tension of Mercury square Pluto and the upcoming Venus in opposition to Uranus may be high, the Sun in Libra may be balanced enough that people respond proactively.

Thursday, September 23, 2021

Last week, Venus formed a gnarly square to Saturn. I wrote about it in last week’s forecast. This week, Venus makes an equally challenging aspect, as she opposes Uranus in Taurus.

On its most basic level, Venus oppose Uranus, which means that upsetting events may occur in relationships, leaving you feeling shaken up and unsettled.  However, Venus oppose Uranus, which indicates that ritualistic everyday experience in relationships will leave you unsatisfied. Of course, suppose we don’t ‘live’ life to the fullest. In that case, it tends to erupt unconsciously, leading to sudden upset and potential breakups (especially if it triggers your natal chart) because Uranus seeks freedom from conventional values it perceives as restricting and monotonous.

On the practical level, it’s important to spice up your relationships on your own. If you find things getting too dull or repetitive, and your relationship is losing its magic, then do what you can to liven it up. This will feed your relationship with new experiences, enriching them with growth opportunities.

Friday, September 24, 2021

Today, the Moon moves through earthy Taurus. It’s an excellent day to focus on financial concerns, improve your self-esteem, and enjoy everyday life. Do something you love, and a cheat meal is recommended.

Saturday, September 25, 2021

Mars forms a productive trine to Saturn. It’s an excellent day to focus on projects and tasks that need focus and discipline. You can also use this energy to re-examine your long-term goals. If you made some that were more ‘dreams’ than actual achievable goals, you could adjust them to something realistic and doable.

Sunday, September 26, 2021

We close the week out with the Moon moving through Gemini. It’s a beautiful day to socialize and connect with friends or your broader social system. It should be a positive day. Make the most of it because Mercury turns retrograde tomorrow!

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of September 13, 2021 – September 19, 2021

The astrology forecast for September 13, 2021 – September 19, 2021 features three aspects (Sun oppose Neptune, Sun trine Pluto, and Venus square Saturn), and Mars leaves Virgo and enters Libra.

Overview

This week, Venus continues to move through Scorpio. Any planet moving through the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) will reactivate the Saturn square Uranus in the cosmos, which is still within orb.  This reactivation is called translation of light.

Let’s break this down.

Venus in Scorpio reflects a desire for emotional depth and closeness in relationships.  In the sign of the scorpion, she likes to get things out in the open and prefers honesty over civility. Since Venus is in detriment, Scorpio is not her natural habitat. She is unhappy there, but she would rather know the truth regardless of how displeasing it is to her.

Venus will square Saturn first.  Saturn is our limitations, boundaries, and responsibilities. Venus square Saturn is a frustrating combo that can cause self-doubt and insecurities. It can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, and people often make ‘easy’ decisions that please others rather than satisfy themselves.

Venus will oppose Uranus next week, which has its own challenges. Uranus likes independence and freedom, and often shakes things up if he feels constricted and confined. Venus oppose Uranus is tense and wants to break free, which can lead to upsetting events in relationships – if they are not managed effectively.

I’m going to be blunt – it’s my trademark. Venus mixed up with Saturn square Uranus can feel like a roller-coaster ride at the state fair.  It has many ups and downs. However, working with this energy ‘proactively’ means you have to manage your need for closeness with your need for independence. You may need to have difficult conversations with people, stand your ground, and be flexible enough to consider the needs of others. The more inflexible you are, the more difficult this may be.

Further, some relationships may end up irreparable. If that’s the case, the relationship did not have the ingredients necessary to stay the course. And, although endings are complex and sometimes emotionally tumultuous, they may be necessary for the growth of your soul.

Now, on with the forecast…

Monday, September 13, 2021

The Moon moves through spirited Sagittarius throughout the day and forms a friendly sextile to Mercury during the morning hours. It’s an excellent time to share ideas and visions for the future and think outside the box. However, the Moon squares Neptune during the evening hours, so expect the fog clouds of confusion to move in.

Tuesday, September 14, 2021

First, on Tuesday, the Sun opposes Neptune in Pisces. Sun oppose Neptune is a highly confusing aspect, and it can lead to moments of uncertainty. It’s best not to make decisions under this influence, because you may end up questioning your choices. Another thing to note, while the Sun opposes Neptune, is that you may feel overwhelmed by life and your current situation. Try to avoid falling into a victim mindset because it won’t resolve your issues; it simply feeds your anxiety.

Later in the day, Mars moves out of Virgo and into Libra.  Mars doesn’t like the sign of Lira much because he is in detriment in the sign of the scales. Mars wants to act, and when he is in Libra, he must consider the thoughts and ideas of others. Of course, this is frustrating for the War God. While Mars is in Libra, it’s necessary to pause before acting and fairly do things, keeping the needs of others in mind when making decisions. Mars remains in Libra until October 31, 2021.

Wednesday, September 15, 2021

The Moon spends its first full day in responsible Capricorn. During the morning hours, the Moon trines Uranus, and you may feel a little restless, especially if you have a lot to accomplish. You may want to honor Uranus by taking a few breaks to focus on more exciting things than daily repetitive drudgery.  Later in the day, the Moon squares Mercury and minor communication snafus may occur. Try to clean things up as quickly as possible.

Thursday, September 16, 2021

Whereas Monday and Tuesday were not the best days to make a significant decision, Thursday is much better because the Sun forms a lovely trine to Pluto. Sun-Pluto aspects are times when you need to stand in your personal power and focus on the areas of your life that you have control over – and whether you believe it, that’s most of them. Sun trine Pluto helps you get beneath the surface and discover ways to improve your life and course-correct if necessary. So press in and press on!

Friday, September 17, 2021

We may make personal changes that rattle the cages of others, and they may disagree with our decisions. That may occur today with Venus squaring Saturn. You may go through feelings of self-doubt, but make sure your feelings are your own and not influenced by others. You may feel that those around you do not understand you or your motives. Additionally, you may need to question whether your personal needs are being met in your relationships.

Saturday, September 18, 2021

The Moon moves through social Aquarius and forms positive aspects to Mercury and Jupiter. It’s an excellent day to socialize and connect with friends. Conversations should be lively, and there is a spirit of optimism in the air.

Sunday, September 19, 2021

The Moon moves through dreamy Pisces and forms a lovely trine to Venus. It’s a wonderful day for some love and romance. Spend some time connecting to your significant other. For the singles, it’s a good day to kick back and enjoy music, movies, and meditation.

If you had relationship issues earlier in the week, this is an excellent time to make peace and resolve them.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of September 6, 2021 – September 12, 2021

The astrology forecast for the week of September 6, 2021 – September 12, 2021, features three aspects (Mars trine Pluto, Venus trine Jupiter, and Sun trine Uranus) and Venus moves out of Libra and into Scorpio.

But before we get into the daily breakdown for the week, let’s talk about the New Moon that occurs on Monday, September 6.

The New Moon occurs in earthy Virgo. Virgo is an earth sign and reflects our relationship with ordinary daily life, duties and responsibilities, and our relationship with the physical body. So, this New Moon is about putting our lives in order. 

It’s an excellent New Moon to develop systems, focus on health and personal well-being, hire staff, and even get a new job.  Use this energy to create order out of chaos and build a strong and more durable you.

Now, on with the forecast…


Monday, September 6, 2021

It’s a gigantic day in the cosmos.  Not only do we have the New Moon in Virgo, but also three planetary aspects – Mars trine Pluto, Venus trine Jupiter, and Sun trine Uranus.

There is a small warning: The three planetary aspects that occur today are trines, which are generally favorable. However, since the energy is relatively light and harmonious, we may sit on our laurels and let the energy pass us by. So, word to the wise – don’t miss your moment!

A notable feature of Mars trine Pluto and Sun trine Uranus is its high oxygen energy. So, you should get a significant energy boost throughout the week. But the biggest thing about this combo is that it ushers in a new cycle of letting go of the old and having the courage to embrace something new.

Mars trine Pluto is about ambition and getting what you want – if you are willing to do the work. So if you’re going to pursue something, now would be an auspicious time to get that going.

The cherry on top of this aspect sundae is that Venus forms a beautiful trine to Jupiter.  Venus trine Jupiter is a lucky aspect that allows energy to flow smoothly. Plus, it will be easy to get people to help you achieve your objectives.

You can’t get any better than that!

Tuesday, September 7, 2021

It’s time to get your to-do list out as the Moon moves through dutiful Virgo. It’s an excellent day to finish loose ends and take care of details you might have let slide in the summer months. Plus, the Moon forms a lovely conjunction with Mars that will provide the energy to get you going.

Wednesday, September 8, 2021

Relationships will be a primary focus on Wednesday as the Moon moves through Libra. The Moon forms a lovely trine to Saturn and conjoins Mercury.  Business relationships are highlighted, and it is a good day to sign documents or formalize a deal. It’s also a wonderful day for a date night.

Thursday, September 9, 2021

The Moon continues to move through Libra on Thursday. During the day, intense feelings may surface, and you may need to carefully manage your emotions.  Try not to be reactive.

The energy improves later as the Moon trines Jupiter and conjoins Venus, bringing the lucky aspect from Monday back together one more time.  Spend the evening doing something you love and enjoy.

Friday, September 10, 2021

On Friday, Venus moves out of Libra and dives deep into the waters of Scorpio.  Venus in Scorpio provides us with the opportunity to shed our superficial skin and connect with others on a deeper level.  True intimacy will be important.

Saturday, September 11, 2021

The Moon moves through emotional Scorpio and forms aspects to Neptune, Jupiter, and Pluto. Expect your intuition to go into overdrive. You may feel things more deeply than you usually do. Please pay close attention to your gut instincts; they won’t steer you wrong.

Sunday, September 12, 2021

We close the week out with the Moon moving into joyful Sagittarius. So, take some time to escape the real world and do something you enjoy.

See you next week!
