Astrology Forecast for the Week of September 19, 2022 – September 25, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of September 19, 2022 through September 25, 2022 features three major planetary aspects (Venus trine Uranus, Sun conjunct Mercury Rx, and Venus oppose Neptune), the Sun and Mercury Rx change signs, and we have a New Moon in Libra.

Cosmic Overview

This week Mercury retrogrades back into the sign of Virgo, and this gives me the opportunity to describe what this means.  When a planet moves back into another sign, it means there is unfinished business in the sign it returns to. Currently, Mercury is in Libra.  Mercury in Libra understands life by weighing the opinions and ideas of others to make well-rounded choices. On Friday, Mercury moves out of the sign of the sales and moves back into the sign of Virgo.  Mercury in Virgo is about understanding life through facts and paying attention to details. So, Mercury will do us a solid this week by letting us review the facts and details again, so we can make better informed decisions once he turns direct. 

Of course, while Mercury remains retrograde (until October 2nd), we still need to pay attention to the way we communicate, try to be as clear and concise as possible when conveying information, and expect plans to go awry.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, September 19, 2022

The Moon moves through domestic Cancer throughout the day and forms beneficial aspects to Venus and Uranus. It’s an excellent day to beautify your environment. You could do some fall/spring redecorating and spice up your living space. Also, you may want to connect with relatives you haven’t recently communicated with. Let those you love know that you care about them.

Tuesday, September 20, 2022

Venus trines Uranus in Taurus. Venus trine Uranus is about making changes to your daily routine, so that you feel more stimulated and alive. If your relationships have been a bit stale recently, adding new elements or finding new forms of entertainment could reignite the magic between the two of you again. Additionally, unexpected financial news may brighten your day.

Wednesday, September 21, 2022

The Moon moves through optimistic Leo and aspects Jupiter and Mars. Your mood should be positive, and it’s a great day to look at your long-term goals and act if necessary.  If you’ve felt blocked or stymied recently, you may feel your breakthrough is on your horizon.  Onward and upward!

Thursday, September 22, 2022

The Sun moves out of Virgo and into Libra.  Relationships will take center stage over the next month, and it’s an auspicious time to take an honest inventory of yours.  Also, while the Sun is in the sign of the scales, your decisions matter.  Choose wisely.

Friday, September 23, 2022

Before Mercury moves back into Virgo, it conjoins the Sun in Libra. Ordinarily, the Sun conjunct Mercury would signify a very social day with lively conversation and the steady flow of ideas.  But since Mercury is retched out, it’s a day to have internal conversations and explore the things that are working in your life and the things that are not.  You may be inspired by new ideas and approaches to life that will make living more meaningful. Furthermore, it’s a great day to revise short-term goals to meet your immediate needs.

Saturday, September 24, 2022

Venus opposes Neptune in Pisces. Venus opposing Neptune is a difficult aspect, because it forces us to look at relationships for what they are not what we would like them to be.  If you are idealistic about your relationships, then you could experience some trouble today. This is an aspect that encourages you to accept people for who they are – the good, the bad, and the ugly.  You will notice that the level of serenity in your relationships will be proportional to your expectations. However, be on guard, Venus oppose Neptune is also an aspect of deception. In all interpersonal situations, trust but VERIFY.

Sunday, September 25, 2022

We reach the heart of Libra season on September 25th, with the New Moon in the sign of the scales. Ordinarily, this would be an excellent time to draw a new relationship to you, but Mercury is currently retrograde, and Venus (the ruler of Libra) is in her fall in Virgo. So instead, use this New Moon to create new paradigms within your current relationships, which are not just romantic ones.

If you are currently single, you can list all the attributes you would like out of a mate, and do some cleansing magic to signify your fresh start. If you are in a relationship, you can use the New Moon to reset (such a lovely Mercury Rx word) the energies and create a more fulfilling dynamic that will help improve the relationship’s overall health.  In other relationships, you can modify how you work with the New Moon based on the needs of that relationship.  The key is to formulate new and productive ways to make them healthier.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of September 12, 2022 – September 18, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of September 12, 2022 through September 18, 2022 features four major aspects – Venus square Mars, the Sun oppose Neptune, Mercury opposes Jupiter, and the Sun trine Pluto.  All these aspects occur during the weekend.

Let’s just dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

The aspect of the week is the Sun opposing Neptune in Pisces. This is an incredibly difficult aspect that often feels icky and self-defeating. In astrology, the Sun reflects our ego, our sense of identity, and our inner destiny.

Now, to work with the Sun oppose Neptune productively requires a lot of humility, introspection, and self-honesty. We need to admit our mistakes, and through our confessions we find redemption. The problem is that our first reaction to inner issues is to project the problem outside ourselves, even to the point where we identify with victim mindsets.

I recently seen a meme on Facebook that said, “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but whatever you are going through, it’s your fault.” I’m sure it amused many people, or they found it offensive, but unfortunately it is mostly true. We rarely like to face our personal responsibilities, and how our choices and decisions ultimately create our experiences. Furthermore, no matter our experiences, they mold who we are as individuals. Some people stay stuck in their experiences and pain, and have difficulties moving beyond them.  Yet, it is by getting in touch with our experiences, our hurts, our pain, and by pressing forward, we find inner meaning and experience growth.

On a more practical level, the Sun oppose Neptune is a time of low energy, confusion, and uncertainty.  You may experience difficulties in your relationships with others, and you will want to avoid doing anything against your will, because that will ultimately lead to resentment. Also, avoid shady people, because they will take advantage of you if they can.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, September 12, 2022

We start the week off with the Moon moving through energetic Aries, and she forms a productive sextile to Saturn in Aquarius. It’s an excellent day to go after what you want, and Saturn’s stabilizing effect will help you on your mission.  Working on projects that require determination and tenacity is also recommended. 

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

After the energetic burst of the last few days (while the Moon was in Aries), the cosmos slows down as the Moon moves into Taurus. Sometimes we need to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, and today is definitely the day to do it.  Your mood should be peaceful and calm, and make sure you enjoy something decadent.

Wednesday, September 14, 2022

The Moon continues to move through Taurus. During the early morning hours, the Moon will conjoin disruptive Uranus. You may feel bored with your usual routine, which can make you feel impulsive or anxious.  Try to find new things that will inspire or excite you. This evening, the Moon will square Saturn, which is a killjoy.  Avoid falling into negative mindsets and self-criticism.

Thursday, September 15, 2022

The Moon spends most of the day void of course in Taurus. Avoid making firm agreements or starting anything new until the Moon moves into Gemini later this afternoon.  This evening is a great time to socialize and connect with your inner circle.

Friday, September 16, 2022

In addition to the Sun opposing Neptune that I discussed in the Cosmic Overview, Venus will square Mars in Gemini. Venus square Mars is a difficult aspect that often leads to disagreements, arguments, and power struggles. In most cases, there are already underlying problems in the relationship waiting for the right time to surface. Unfortunately, that time is now. Attempt to be amicable in your discussions, and try to see the other person’s view. A clash of egos could lead to long-term damage.

Saturday, September 17, 2022

The difficult energies from yesterday continue as the Moon moves through Gemini and squares Neptune. The Moon square Neptune can make you feel overwhelmed by your environment, so try to stay as grounded as possible. It’s not the best day to make decisions, because your thoughts and feelings may be distorted.

Sunday, September 18, 2022

We close the week with two planetary aspects – Mercury opposes Jupiter and the Sun trine Pluto. This is a welcomed relief from the energies earlier this weekend, and your mood should be more positive and optimistic. This evening, the Sun will trine Pluto, and this should help you understand your life deeper, and you can then stand in your personal power.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of September 5, 2022 – September 11, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of September 5, 2022 through September 11, 2022 features one major aspect (The Sun trine Uranus), Venus moves out of Leo and into Virgo, a Full Moon occurs in Pisces, and Mercury turns retrograde in Libra.

The first full week of September starts slowly, but the weekend packs quite a punch. Let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

This week, Mercury turns retrograde in Libra. Libra is the sign associated with relationships (all of them), so you can expect relationship issues, especially ones unresolved, to resurface. Libra is also associated with law and legal issues.  You may need to revise contracts, tend to minor legal issues (like paying traffic tickets), or refile legal documents.  Additionally, look at your personal chart to the house where Libra resides, because matters related to that house will need to be dealt with. 

Here is an overview of the do’s and don’ts I recommend you pay attention to during the retrograde.

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 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 will 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 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 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!

Daily Breakdown

Monday September 5, 2022

Venus moves out of Leo and into Virgo. So, she trades in her high heels and glamorous jewelry for a Swiffer and a vacuum cleaner, which is not pleasing to Venus, and why she is considered in her fall in the sign of the maiden.  Regardless, it’s time for some relationship maintenance. Venus in Virgo is an excellent time to look at what you want out of relationships, and take steps to get your needs fulfilled, especially since she is in mutual reception with Mercury, who turns retrograde on Friday. This will ultimately make you feel more grounded and secure within your relationships, and help them grow.  Avoid fearful mindsets if you need to put up boundaries. If someone leaves you because they don’t want to acknowledge your needs, then the truth is you don’t need them.

Tuesday, September 6, 2022

The Moon moves through productive Capricorn and forms aspects to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. If you need a hefty dose of inspiration or need to work on creative projects, then today is your day. The sign of Capricorn will help you stay focused and get your projects up and running. However, be on guard this evening, because the Moon conjoins Pluto, and difficult emotions may surface. Feel free to feel them, just don’t be controlled by them.

Wednesday, September 7, 2022

The Moon moves through social Aquarius and forms beneficial aspects to Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars. It’s an excellent day for collaborations and group activities.  Business projects throughout the day should go smoothly. Spend some time with your social circle.

Thursday, September 8, 2022

The Moon goes void of course during the morning hours after La Luna conjoins Saturn.  Avoid making firm agreements or starting anything new throughout the day.  You may experience moments of self-doubt and trepidatious anxiety. Push away limiting thoughts if they surface.

Friday, September 9, 2022

Late on Friday, Mercury turns retrograde in Libra.  Relationships will be the primary focus of much of the retrograde cycle, so it’s time to review and repair yours.  Otherwise, expect communication issues and travel plans to go awry.  Mercury remains retrograde until October 2nd.

Saturday, September 10, 2022

On Sat, the Full Moon occurs in Pisces. Get out your snorkel, it’s time to swim. Your intuitive faculties will be at their peak, so it’s time to do magic or intention work that will help you enhance your intuition and focus on your dreams, meditation, and connecting with spirit. You can also use this energy to increase your creativity.

Sunday, September 11, 2022

The Sun forms a lovely trine to Uranus in Taurus. You may feel energetic and restless, especially if your life has been monotonous lately. It’s an excellent time to get out of your comfort zone and explore new things. If you need to make changes in your life to make it more meaningful, now is the time.

See you next week!
