Daily Astrological Forecast, September 1–30, 2025
We can reconnect with our vision and take up the reins of our dreams.
Firm Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces at 1:07 am (4:07 ET), combining with Moon in optimistic Sagittarius to open our mental panorama. Saturn activates two critical degrees: the Aries point and the last, anaretic degree of Pisces, unleashing a double wave that’s made more intense by today’s pioneering numerology of 1.
Now, we can reconnect with our spiritual, creative, and intuitive goals, and perceive the higher essence of what we’re building for. Saturn in Aries has been fueling our drive, but its energy can be tense, competitive, and pushy. In today’s transit, as the master planet retrogrades, it reignites our faith, our dreams, and our potential for compassion, reminding us of what we want to teach ourselves. Without losing Saturn in Aries’ independent strength, we can retrieve the love energy that undergirds our work and even our battles.
This Aries-Pisces cusp also supports inspired action. Audacious steps can set something lasting and magical in place.
Sag Moon facilitates strategy, diplomacy,, and vision. Her trine to Mercury the messenger at 4:37 pm (7:37 ET) facilitates key people connections, and promotional activities.
At 6:45 pm (9:45 pm), Moon enters practical Capricorn, extending today’s constructive potential into the night.
Affirmation:
Under the shield of the divine, I pause, and go within, here and now.
Tuesday, September 2
Morning is good for decluttering documents and organizing key communications; afternoon shines for making connections.
Moon in Capricorn strengthens our executive skills. Capricorn’s ruler, Saturn, newly retrograding into Pisces, receives a quincunx from mental Mercury. We can apply these mental and executive skills to declutter our inbox, and follow up on communications that relate to our purpose.
Ruled by Moon, today’s numerology of 2 favors connection, and a quincunx from Moon to Venus softens the energy.
We can make constructive connections, especially this afternoon, with the Moon/Venus contact at 1:40 pm (4:40 ET), and a trine from Moon to Sun in diligent Virgo at 3:23 pm (6:23 ET).
Affirmation:
No situation or influence can keep Spirit from following through on Its plan for my complete good, here and now.
Wednesday, September 3
The energies are intensifying as the Full Moon Eclipse draws near. If we avoid confrontation or getting pulled into drama, we can make headway on long-term goals.
Mercury the messenger makes a wee-hour tension to Pluto. Our minds are sharpened, we can see beneath the surface, uncover missing facts, confirm ulterior motives, and get a deeper picture.
We can use today’s Moon in organized Capricorn to prepare for this weekend’s Total Eclipse. We can define or reaffirm our strategy for change, work through emotional dependency and, in the face of challenge, release resistance to facing things by designing action steps.
Morning can be productive, though tempers could get a bit explosive. At 4:20 AM (7:20 ET), Moon squares Mars the warrior. If you’re up, save direct confrontation—no matter how tempting—for another day, but do get ready for a future move. Declutter, set a limit, close a cycle, and take care of papers, accounting, and bureaucracy.
At 5:50 am (8:50 ET), Moon in practical Capricorn opposes expansive Jupiter in fertile Cancer. Coming on the heels of her square to Mars, and in T-square to confident Jupiter, this aspect may make for dramatic emotions, but if we keep our balance and hold our course, we can make significant progress for business, promotional activities or altruistic initiatives.
Affirmation:
Angels and spirit guides, please shield me from distraction and hold me in balance on my direction, here and now.
Thursday, September 4
Channel rebellious impulses with wisdom, equilibrium and foresight.
If we’re up early, at 3:08 am (6:08 ET), Moon goes VOC in resourceful Capricorn, entering independent Aquarius at 3:32 am (6:32 ET). Then, 6:13 am (9:13 ET), Luna trines Aquarius’ ruler, rebellious Uranus, fueling unique inspiration and the will to cast off limitation and try something new.
As if that weren’t enough, Moon conjoins powerful Pluto at 6:40 am (9:40 ET), strengthening our courage and resolve to heal our emotions, circumstances, and situations. There’s a boldness to these transits that can help us let go of something that’s run its course, whether that is a relationship, job, location, limitation, or belief. On the portal of Sunday’s Eclipse Full Moon, this urge isn’t just a passing whim.
These energies may be impulsive, or compulsive. Get clear on a position, and hold onto your chair—at 7:59 pm (10:50 ET) Mars the warrior perfects a square to Jupiter. This is a great aspect for setting big goals, for promoting something, or for making sales. But we can get carried away in the risk department. Save extreme sports, speed driving, and edgy adventures for another day. Eclipses are intense and can be slippery, especially when they occur in mysterious Pisces. Listen to your original inspiration, write down your spiritual goals, and find allies for future, direct action.
Affirmation:
I am not alone in my need for change. I have a Divine Ally who guides, supports, and protects me on my path of progress, here and now and always.
Friday, September 5
We can find innovative ways of sharing and reach out to people.
Moon in freedom-loving Aquarius favors connections with friends. Magnetism is increased thanks to a wee-hour opposition to sweet Venus. At 1:13 pm (4:13 ET), Luna’s quincunx to gregarious Jupiter supports expansive connections. If we have important connections to make, we can try making them now, before 1:51 pm (4:5 ET), when Moon goes VOC on a trine to courageous Mars.
Moon’s ruler Uranus is stationing to turn retrograde, fueling our desire for inner freedom and today’s rebellious spirit. Today’s numerology of 5, ruled by driven Mars, makes us even more restless. We can try something new and reconnect with people who resonate with our individuality. Avoid boisterous groups, drive with care, save direct confrontation for another day, and apply any rebellious urges in armchair activism and connections that resonate with your new, authentic direction.
The rest of the day favors reading for pleasure, enjoying art, and journaling.
Affirmation:
I free others, and my relationships become a freeing experience, here and now.
Saturday, September 6
On the doorstep of tomorrow’s Full Moon Eclipse, we can move out of our comfort zone and divest ourselves of resentments, attachments, and habits.
At 8:54 am (11:54 ET) Moon enters Pisces, connecting with tomorrow’s Eclipse. Andthis isn’t your usual calm, Pisces Moon! On the portal of tomorrow’s lunation, emotions surge.
Adding to the drama, at 11:26 (02:26 pm ET), Moon squares rebellious Uranus. Again we feel spurred or triggered to release a constraining situation, pattern, or attachment.
Avoid the temptation to escape through substance abuse or low-vibe company. Rather, keep a low profile, visit a therapist or 12-step group, do dream work, sleep, meditate, pray, develop compassion, intuition, empathy, and/or forgiveness. Contact angels and spirit guides, work on something involving imagination, inspiration, or creativity. Or, settle a dispute with friends or family, and clean out closets and drawers.
Affirmation to heal from addiction (can be used in second person for another): The spirit I am wants only good. My thirst for good moves me to reject any substance or situation that doesn’t resonate with my good, and I am freed from false appetites, here and now.
Sunday, September 7
The Full Moon Eclipse shines a light and supports tangible movement on our soul path.
Despite the intensity that comes with a Lunar Eclipse, this one in Pisces is also an opportunity to connect with the North Node energy that brings in much needed waves of compassion and the opportunity to transmute karma. The chart for today’s lunation, exact at 11:09 am (02:09 pm), includes a quincunx to sweet Venus and a trine to coruler, expansive Jupiter. The presence of the greater and lesser benefics offers a potential for connections filled with compassion, harmony, love, and abundance. Moon activates the North Node, giving us a chance to ground some of the wonderful energy it generates as it travels through creative, sensitive Pisces.
At 5:25 pm (8:25 ET) Moon perfects a trine to Jupiter—who happens to be exalted in Cancer, making afternoon and evening a great time for inspirational, relational and angelic activities.
At 15-16 Pisces, the Sabian symbol for today’s lunation seems to resonate with the recent retrograde of responsible Saturn into Pisces. It says:
IN THE QUIET OF… [HER] STUDY A CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES A FLOW OF INSPIRATION… Reliance upon one’s inner source of inspiration or guidance… the process that enables [us] to “con-firm,” formulate and perpetuate the original creative impulse which has become self-actualized in a myriad of ways… This… symbol strikes the keynote of truly significant creative processes: their source is above, beyond, but also around the individual creator. The inspiration… is given a form which is conditioned by the cultural, social and religious background of the creative person. In a sense, every genius merely records an answer to the needs of [her or] his time. The hands that write, play an instrument, or mold a plastic material are… [one’s] own; the urge or drive back of the flow of inspiration has arisen in the vast collective mind…The individual aspect of the creative process is emphasized as is the… need for concentration and at least inner quiet… [We] must have faith in… [our] own SUBJECTIVE STRENGTH.
Affirmation:
Archangel Michael, please direct me, direct us to use the divine opportunity of the present phase of our lives, in the best, highest and most effective way, here and now.
Monday, September 8
Morning is great for spiritual work and discreet action; midday and afternoon support focus to finish something.
This morning, Moon continues in Pisces, the sensitive sign of yesterday’s total Lunar Eclipse. Ideally, we can keep a low profile and do inner work, connect with light beings, and enjoy nature. Also favored are decluttering, getting a psychic reading, and settling an inner struggle.
Today’s numerology of 8 helps us harvest the results of something we started before. These activities may include projects involving imagination, follow-up on messaging, repairing equipment, writing a proposal or contract, or designing a home or a media production.
At 11:37 am (02:37 pm), the pace picks up as Moon enters restless Aries. In less than an hour, Luna makes a series of aspects to the current minor grand trine among transpersonal planets. At 1:33 pm (4:33 ET), she conjoins mysterious Neptune, at 2:03 pm (5:03 ET), sextiles innovative Uranus, and at 2:21 pm (05:21 ET), sextiles Pluto. These lunar triggers mean we can apply Aries’ active energy to our life direction according to the present evolutionary moment. All three planets: Neptune, Uranus and Pluto, can also be factors in spiritual healing.
We can get a lot done, especially if we release lesser goals (like doing housework or chatting to be nice) and burn through our own perfectionism to finish something.
Affirmation:
Guardian Angel, please draw near, shield me from distraction and direct me in focus on what really matters, here and now.
Tuesday, September 9
Morning is good for mental work and decluttering. Evening favors social, romantic and altruistic activities.
Moon in hot Aries wants to move, but today’s introverted numerology of 9 prefers mental and spiritual activities, or altruistic sharing of our knowledge, gratitude, and support.
Minor tensions to Mercury and Sun reduce even further the already-dubious social graces of Aries Moon. But we can do something that requires drive and connects with the alchemical activities mentioned above. We might:
- Make a find at the local library or used bookstore
- Give someone a free class
- Pray for the world
- Recycle or give away obsolete belongings and books
- Make an offering to a spiritual guide or humanitarian organization
- Support a 12-step group or program
At 11:54 pm (2:54 am ET), Moon goes VOC, just in time for bed.
Affirmation:
I give thanks for the infinite good that fills my world, supporting the best and highest outcomes in all my situations, here and now.
Wednesday, September 10
The skies support all preferences today—play, business, creativity, romance, research, or healing our emotions and roots.Moon went VOC at 11:54 last night (2:54 am ET), and will be VOC through midday. In Aries. This is a good time for light play. We could go for a walk, a run, or a bike ride, play frisbee, or visit the gym or beach. Although Aries Moon is kind of hyper, on the portal of the recent Eclipse we want to keep things low-key and avoid potential risks like speeding at the wheel, sky-gliding, or extreme activities and situations.
Hold your horses until 1:03 pm (4:03 ET), when Moon enters Taurus, sign of her exaltatio, where she supports us with her most abundant energy. Today’s pioneering numerology of 1 supports direct action in areas ruled by the bull. We can:
- Dive into an ecological or a creative project
- Do business
- Make an investment
- Lease or rent property
- Take on new staff
- Build our business
- Work on efforts involving stability, real estate, or banking
- Sign up for a workshop or program related to self-esteem and manifestation
- Go out with someone new
Seize the day before 3:43 pm (06:43 ET) when Moon squares intense Pluto. This isn’t necessarily a bad aspect, but it can be emotionally intense, exposing dark feelings and truths. With the planet of depths in Aquarius, it’s great for researching politics, financial options, or the family tree. It also favors journaling, a visit with the therapist, forgiveness, introspection, and emotional and spiritual healing.
A couple of hours later, we can enjoy music or a nice dinner at home—but we’ll still want to avoid fighting or getting into a debate or a power struggle at the dinner table.
Affirmation:
The angels of love fill our home and their pink light harmonizes the airwaves and connects us in loving thoughts, here and now.
Thursday, September 11
A great day for connecting with people and angels.
Moon in fertile Taurus gives a nice grounded energy to our endeavors, while Master Number 11 brings a mystical energy, ruled by Pluto and strengthening intuition and angelic contacts.
Evening favors connections, with transits that are worth staying up for. Moon exalted in Taurus is on a roll, starting with a trine to Mercury the messenger at 7:18 pm (10:18 ET). Sun in sextile to Jupiter increases our vitality, enthusiasm and confidence, sparks inspirated expression and opens doors for success in compassionate, promotional, social and business activities. (This aspect is actually felt all today and tomorrow.) Moon continues with nighttime harmonies to the Jupiter-Sun sextile, increasing the charm quotient, good fortune in connections and, with Jupiter also exalted (in Cancer), opportunities for abundance.
Moon’s roll culminates at 11:59 pm (2:59 am ET), with a square to sweet Venus that fuels romance and good feelings in general. So reach out, throw a party, give a workshop, cultivate good connections, or seek support for your service, cause, or product.
Affirmation:
My connections are made of divine substance and they work to help me now.
Friday, September 12
A great day for communications and connections of all kinds.
Today’s numerology of 3, ruled by Venus, enforces the creative, sensual vibrations of Moon in Taurus. These energies combine with the Sun-Jupiter sextile to make morning great for people connections. We can enjoy a breakfast date (with a side of smooching), hold a business meeting, promote real-estate or something that we want to last, inspire others, or close a sale. Moon’s wee-hour quincunx to Mars boosts our drive, and we can push ourselves out of our comfort zone, to leave tangible results from or in positive connections with others, either groups or individuals.
At 2:38 pm (5:38 ET), Moon switches to loquacious Gemini. Her ruler Mercury sextiles expansive Jupiter, exact at 2:53 pm (05:53 ET). This harmony between the little and big communicators jumpstarts all kinds of interactions—with siblings, clients, students, teachers, a public representative, judge, attorney, spiritual guide, or the public—for conflict resolution, negotiation, contracts, debates, study, teaching, memorization, media transmission, playing word games.
Next, Moon in expressive Gemini makes a quick series of contacts to outer planets, awakening our gifts and our evolutionary potential. At 4:23 pm (07:23 ET), Moon sextiles Neptune, awakening compassionate, creative and intuitive connections. At 5:03 pm (08:03 ET), Moon joins rebel Uranus, illuminating our emotional expression in novel ways and awakening our need for freedom. At 5:17 pm (08:17 ET), Moon trines Pluto, deepening our psychic perception and strengthening our courage to make change.
As you can imagine, all this otherworldly energy is too good to waste on partying, drinking or substance abuse. Common themes for Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto are that they all have to do with spiritual or energy healing, are intuitive, and can open cosmic doors. If we’re around others, we’ll want to select what kind of energy from them we’ll let in.
With Moon in loquacious Gemini, we ourselves could give a really effective speech, write a moving letter or message, convince a person or group of something transcendent, research and prepare a striking proposal, find a solution we’ve been wanting. We can also write or channel beautiful messages and voice inspired, compassionate and powerful ideas.
Affirmation:
Spirit’s voice speaks through me, and my words heal all they touch, now and always.
Saturday, September 13
A good day for getting organized and engaging in practical communications.
Mercury influences—Moon in Gemini and Sun joining ruler Mercury in Virgo—combine with today’s constructive numerology of 4 to strengthen all practical endeavors, especially those related to communications.
We can:
- Solve a problem
- Gather helpful information
- Apply our talents to help someone
- Uncover useful information
- Use our written and spoken affirmations to heal
- Initiate communications for work, for organization, for sales or for some practical purpose
- Make a business trip
- Work on correspondence
- Organize documents
- Declutter messages and emails
- Give a presentation
- Crisis management
- Write and edit
- Present our ideas to associates, authority figures or clients
- Obtain and sign a contract
- Plan a trip and related details
- Purchase computer and phone equipment
Things to avoid: getting distracted or scattered, gossip and gossiping, con-men, and negative thoughts and comments.
If we’re trying to get something off the ground, today is better than tomorrow through Wednesday, when Moon will be in her Fourth Quarter, a time of winding down, and not yet on the New Moon portal, which we’ll be feeling by Thursday.
Affirmation:
The divine forces of evolution work to lift me into new and freer conditions and experiences, here and now.
Sunday, September 14
Morning is great for connections, romance and creative self-expression. Later in the day, we get a brief window for family and then and then a powerful space for independent, spiritual and creative activities.
Moon in Gemini, sign of words, reaches her Fourth Quarter at 3:33 am (6:33 ET), followed by a square from Moon to Mercury the messenger at 5:17 am (08:17 ET). This combination is great for creating a written review of our progress on the intentions we established at last month’s New Moon in Virgo, and defining which of those intentions we choose to focus on finishing.
At 21-22 Gemini, the Sabian symbol for this lunation describes:
A TUMULTUOUS LABOUR DEMONSTRATION… The revolutionary impact of mental concepts upon… collective emotions and desires… The mass… has been aroused by mental images, slogans and an appetite for the abundance the “ruling class” enjoys. This also applies to the individual person… The stage may be set for the kind of “revolution” we call psychoneurosis… It sets the stage for a tumultuous process, which may lead to a new approach… The repressed or oppressed instincts stage an EMOTIONAL OUTBURST, claiming their due.At 7:10 am (10:10 ET), Moon sextiles sweet Venus, awakening good feelings, expanding our social intelligence, and at 8:41 am (11:41 ET), combining with Moon’s trine to Mars to increase everyone’s charm quotient. Communications can fuel romance, connections are charismatic, and creativity surges through written or spoken expression.
We must use these energies before 3:46 pm (6:46 ET), when Moon goes VOC. Now it’s time to take a break and perhaps repeat affirmations, prayers or mantras, or play word games.
At 5:30 pm (08:30 ET), Moon enters sensitive Cancer, spotlighting empathy, family, activism for national concerns and enjoyment of the home.
At 7:13 pm (10:13 ET) Moon squares Neptune. This highly sensitive combination is great for using one’s imagination to manifest. It also favors emotional healing, creativity, journaling, dream interpretation or dream yoga, and contact with angels.
Affirmation:
The light circuits of my mind are charged directly from the field of Infinite Intelligence, now and always.
Monday, September 15
Lodged between two Eclipses, today’s Moon in sensitive Cancer favors caring for our emotions, home and family, developing empathy, puttering around the house, simplifying our living space or, in Moon’s last quarter, finishing something related to real estate, personal growth, or self-empowerment.
Spiritually, we focus on forgiveness or psychic development, visualization, an inner journey, or blessing our home, personal space, food and hearth.
We get a change in tone tonight, as at 8:04 pm (11:04 ET), Moon sextiles assertive Mars, precipitating opportunities for bold action and connections with a boss, coach or leader or someone who can open the way or put energy into our goals—for family, real-estate, our home, business, or a cause related to compassion or women.
Blessing and transmutation for food (check my book Angels and Goddesses for hundreds of blessings, angel invocations, transmutations and affirmations): Infinite good reaches us through every molecule of this food and it can only affect us favorably, here and now.
Tuesday, September 16
We get great spaces for connection, progress and business.
Rise early and love this day! It starts with a conjunction between Moon in fertile Cancer and abundant Jupiter, exact at 5:18 am (08:18 ET). This expands our optimism and enthusiasm and facilitates emotional connections with people and groups. It also favors teaching, astral travel, and positive growth in business, finances, success and home or family concerns. We can organize a class, trip, business meeting or family gathering.
The day continues on a productive note with a sextile from Moon to Sun productive Virgo. Exact at 11:53 am (02:53 pm ET), this harmony boosts our mood, strengthens focus and supports productive connections.
At 3:53 pm (06:53 ET) harmony goes on hold. Our emotional intelligence jumps out the window as sensitive Moon squares tough Mars. For the next couple of hours, leave contacts on hold, avoid speeding at the wheel, and exercise care when using machines, gym equipment, and sharp implements. We can clean the oven, fridge or pantry or soak in a hot tub (careful it’s not too hot!).
Once again, connections flow at 5:52 pm (08:52 ET). A sextile from Moon to messenger Mercury brings opportunities in communications with family, for business, or to share empathy.
Evening is good for organizing our journals, metaphysical book collection, kitchen, space, or the week ahead as at 8:14 pm (11:14 ET), Moon trines executive Saturn.
At 10:20 pm (11:20 am ET) Moon enters Leo.
If you happen to be up for it, Moon makes wee-hour contacts to the minor grand trine of transpersonal transits (check times in tomorrow’s forecast). These late influences favor healing, creative work and strategizing for positive change.
Affirmation:
I am not alone, Spirit is supporting me in all places and in all situations, here and now.
Wednesday, September 17
Enthusiasm can be directed for practical progress.
Passionate Moon in Leo combines with today’s powerful numerology of 8: we can direct our energy to consolidate improvements or results we’ve been working towards.
Moon makes wee-hour connections to outer planets Neptune, Uranus and Pluto, connecting today’s energies to our evolutionary path.
At 10:47 am (01:47 pm ET), Mercury the messenger opposes strict Saturn. Communications may seem slow or cold. But we can analyze what we’re sharing in terms of its utility, structure and lasting value. Focus on the more serious gifts of Moon in Leo:
- Development of personal talents
- Study
- Working for and sharing recognition
- Leasing or renting property
- Take control of the situation
Avoid being prideful, overbearing, or melodramatic.
Affirmation:
Goddess Sarasvati, please bless my speech with eloquence and make your golden light flow through my connections, now and always.
Thursday, September 18
We can get great results from people connections, study, research, and creative communication.
We may want to sleep in or take a nap, since planetary benefits are more evident tonight.
At 3:06 am (06:06 ET), Mercury the messenger moves from pragmatic Virgo to socially dexterous Libra. Mercury’s ingress activates the critical first degree of a cardinal sign, unleashing a wave of sweet, romantic, and charming energy in our communications.
At 4:34 am (7:34 ET), Venus makes a quincunx to taskmaster Saturn, sustaining yesterday’s serious vibration and keeping us focused on lasting results in our values and connections. If events or information remind you to take responsibility, don’t ignore them.
Mercury makes a series of aspects to the minor grand trine of outer planets. We can assess our evolutionary opportunities, pray about them, and make headway in communications. The configuration is active all day, but intensified this afternoon.
At 3:01 pm (6:01 ET), Mercury perfects an opposition to mystical Neptune. Intuition is strong, but thoughts and communications may seem foggy. It’s helpful if we can take several hours to focus on spiritual practice, repeat mantras and prayers, journal, gather images to make a new vision board at the upcoming Eclipse, or write affirmations and letters to angels. We might listen to music, and edit an audio or video production.
If we have important work to do regarding communications, research, healing or finance, we might want to stay up late. We finally emerge from the Mercury-Neptune fog at 9:52 pm (12:52 am ET), when Mercury, planet of lower mind, trines Uranus, planet of higher mind, triggering a grand trine with Pluto the powerful, exact at 11:27 pm (2:27 ET). We can receive a wave of transformative, brilliant perceptions and revolutionary connections.
If we happen to be restless tonight, we might stay up later or get up to take advantage of a sextile from Moon to Mars that’s exact at 1:40 am (4:40 ET), and which precipitates opportunities for positive, direct action and sales, and for connections with a coach, boss, or someone dynamic or in a leadership position that can infuse our project or situation with energy.
Affirmation:
Archangel Michael is present and active in these times. I celebrate his protective presence, here and now.
Friday, September 19
We can inject new energy into work, service or healing, and make headway in relationships and with opportunities. On the portal of tomorrow’s Solar Eclipse, acts of compassion open new doors.
Moon in Leo goes VOC 5:21 am (8:21 ET), entering Virgo just two minutes later, at 5:23 am (8:23 ET). She conjoins Venus, goddess of love and values, who also enters Virgo at 5:39 am (8:39 ET). This socially dexterous coupling can solidify connections—especially for work, service, or healing of a “pure” kind.
From 7:01 am (10:01 ET) to 8:12 am (11:12 ET) Moon makes tensions to outer planets compassionate Neptune, innovative Uranus, and powerful Pluto. With these outer planets in a minor grand trine, our practical actions can ground important opportunities or help us find a solution to a long-standing problem.
At 10:20 pm (1:20 am ET), sweet Venus makes a quincunx to cosmic Neptune, precipitating creative and romantic inspiration, connections with angels and spiritual love.
At 10:24 pm (1:24 ET) Mars makes a quincunx to Saturn. We may stop and question the energy we’re generating as we work on progress. Is it in resonance with infinite good? We can tweak and adjust our direction. Saturn-Neptune has to do with I*E, and today’s energy can help redirect this and related institutional programs.
Affirmation:
Within every member of the armed forces there is good. The good in them is moving them and will not let them rest until they desist from harmful actions, now!
Saturday, September 20
Today can be a turning point in relationships and for new, practical directions.
Moon in Virgo favors organizational activities, wellness, and work.
On the doorstep of a Solar Eclipse and Fall Equinox, Venus makes tensions to surprising Uranus and transformative Pluto. We are triggered in new directions ruled by the goddess planet—in relationships, beauty, self-esteem, what we desire, and in abundance.
An opposition from Sun to strict Saturn reaffirms today’s focus on effort. We can review creative self-expression and organize to build for our purpose. For most of the day, we want to organize and focus on these areas, on work and on wellness. Connections that empower us can go very well: we dare to reach out and ask for what we want. An unexpected shift brings renewal.
With Sun and Moon both opposing stern Saturn, be gentle with yourself and others.
Affirmation:
I’m not afraid of change. Almighty love is working to make all changes favor me, here and now.
Sunday, September 21
A Solar Eclipse makes a dramatic beginning for the new week, the new lunar cycle, and a new autumn season.
Today’s New Moon in Virgo, exact at 12:54 pm (3:54 ET), supports things like practical manifestation, making a methodical review of our communications, and analyzing our finances with an eye to growth, structure, and completion of old projects. We can also release the opinions of others and more clearly discern what’s valuable to our life path.
At 29-30 Virgo, the Sabian symbol for today’s Eclipse includes an timely mention of the Fall Equinox:
TOTALLY INTENT UPON COMPLETING AN IMMEDIATE TASK, A [SEEKER] IS DEAF TO ANY ALLUREMENT… The total concentration required for reaching any spiritual goal… In the year cycle the fall equinox is now at hand; autumn begins. Through spring and summer many ways and byways have been experienced… what must be done has to be done so intently that no outer voices can penetrate the mind, still less the soul. The neophyte stands at the gates of the sacred Pyramid. There is only one step [s]he can take — ahead, or [s]he is lost… This is the culminating step, the decision that results from a myriad of small choices. Still a shadow of hesitation can remain. Attention may be distracted from the Now by a voice from the past, glamorizing some old memory. The outer doors of perception and thought must be closed, so the soul can complete its CONQUEST OF ILLUSION.
This Eclipse activates the South Node, helping us finish a past karmic cycle and undo patterns of self-sabotage like perfectionism, worry, negative thinking, playing small, or chronic retreating. The potency of this lunation is increased by its placement in the last, anaretic degree of Virgo, which accentuates intuition. It is also in orb of the critical Aries point of zero Libra, anticipating tomorrow’s Fall Equinox and stressing the importance of practical concerns during the year’s last season.
Since today’s lunation triggers the (VOC) Moon phase, we can set intentions for areas like those described above, and do something to act on them, before the actual event, which is at 12:54 pm (3:54 ET). After the Eclipse, we can use the VOC to take a break, touch the earth, enjoy nature, or donate our service.
At 2:41 pm (5:41 ET), Moon enters socially adept Libra, giving us an hour a half for easy connections until 4:14 pm (7:14 ET), when she makes the first of a series of aspects to the minor grand trine of outer planets: an opposition to Neptune that accentuates compassion, intuition, and creativity.
At 5:20 pm (8:20 ET), Moon trines rebel Uranus, and at 5:34 pm (8:34 ET), she trines Pluto the transformer. These transpersonal energies are integrated into both the Eclipse and Equinox portals of today and tomorrow, making this a crucial portal for separating the chaff of distraction from our true work, and designing daily habits that support the latter.
Affirmation:
I am fully equipped for this moment, with success, wellness and victory, here and now.
Monday, September 22
Fall Equinox begins of the last quarter of year, when people and spirit connections arise.
Moon in Libra favors an Equinox spent with friends, a partner or a date. We can get organized for a new season of efforts involving partnership, justice, compromise, teamwork, and negotiation.
Things can get romantic, erotic, or intensely creative as hot Mars enters Scorpio, the water sign of his rule, and at 4:36 am (7:36 ET), Moon conjuncts Mercury the messenger in sweet Libra. We can take a partnership up a notch. Use today to make connections; tomorrow morning Moon begins a long VOC.
Equinox is exact at 11:19 am (2:19 pm ET), as Sun perfects his entrance into Libra.
Affirmation (repeat while touching the earth or visualizing that you do): Goddess of the Transmuting Earth, please pull obsolete conditions and undesirable energies from me, and recycle them in your powerful bosom now.
Tuesday, September 23
Early morning favors bold creativity and intuition, while most of the day is good for relaxed enjoyment of connections and beauty, and recharging our batteries for some intense energies that are soon to arise.
Very early today, Moon in socially adept Libra renovates creative activities and relationships. However, tensions to Neptune may bring confusion. The aspects include a quincunx from pushy Mars to this mystical planet at 4:01 am (7:01 ET), while the Mars is within orb of a square to godfather Pluto! At 5:53 am (8:53 ET), Sun opposes to Neptune. Sun also makes trines to innovative Uranus and determined Pluto that embolden us to do something different and act for change.
With Moon in talented Libra, we can fuel romance, beautify the home, send flowers to a love object, do something involving justice, buy new clothes… However, the strong Neptune energies can make for confusion. And with Mars involved, we want to be especially cautious, diplomatic, and clear. Don’t speed on slippery roads, bring a stranger home for breakfast or let down your guard with an I*E agent incognito.
Also, these wonderful influences are best used very early! Make key contacts and take important actions before 9:02 am (12:02 pm ET), when Moon goes VOC and will be there for the rest of the day.
After this, we can enjoy romantic stories or films, socialize, hang out with our honey, do art for pleasure or enjoy beauty therapy (my term for soaking up nature, art or any beautiful surroundings).
Affirmation:
I give thanks for the divine protection that shields us wherever we go, now and always.
Wednesday, September 24
We may be revved-up, but courage is best if preparing for change.
At 2:00 am (5:00 ET), Moon enters determined Scorpio. Her feisty coruler, Mars, squares her other coruler, dominant Pluto, underscoring the courage of this lunar placement.
Besides hitting Pluto, Mars makes a wee-hour quincunx to rebel Uranus, fueling our revolutionary spirit. The Mars-Pluto square is exact at 4:52 am (7:52 ET), and reiterated four minutes later as Moon squares Pluto and conjoins Mars. We’re apt to take things personally, and so are others.
On the upside, we are deeply mobilized for change. Both Mars and Pluto go all out. In tension to each other, they can challenge us to take a stand, whatever the cost. Coming on the footsteps of the recent Solar Eclipse, this intense square is apt to be emotional. We want to pick up the gauntlet; it seems hard to hold back.
However, Eclipse season can be volatile. Right now, it serves us better to direct the bellicose energy to research and put together a plan, to strategize and network for later action, or to do something discreet to set things in motion for later follow up. We can also solve a problem, make a major deal, or get to the bottom of a mystery.
What to avoid? Jealousy, obsession, being secretive or suspicious, or brooding over an offense that wasn’t intended personally.
Afternoon is the most harmonious time, as at 3:18 pm (6:18 ET), Moon sextiles sweet Venus, triggering opportunities for closeness and facilitating connection.
Affirmation:
The Master Force of love is working to produce only good in this situation now.
Thursday, September 25
We can engage in low-key, independent activities, such as healing our emotions, studying, and gathering information to support change. A late window expands connections.
Moon in Scorpio stirs deep feelings. We might want to journal or attend therapy. We’re still in the field of the Eclipse and the Mars-Pluto square, and though we want to fight for change, impulsive action may do more harm than good. Today’s numerology of 7—favoring cognition and productive solitude—gives us some options. We can journal, attend therapy, challenge our self-dialog, study, do deep research, and gather information to prepare for change.
Late this evening, the clouds disperse. At 10:06 pm (1:06 ET), Moon trines upbeat Jupiter, and good feelings and connections flow. We can appeal to the sympathies of others, support a cause, and get positive public attention. On a spiritual plane, we can connect with angels, and spirit guides, visualize positive outcomes, expand our faith, and inspire others.
Affirmation:
I give thanks for my private time and use it productively now.
Friday, September 26
We can solve a problem, negotiate, and move on our goals for change.
As the day begins, Moon in Scorpio blends with today’s power-numerology of 8 to support finished results in a new or important direction. We want to wait for another ten days or so before actually making a significant change, but we can lay the groundwork and make decisive progress on something we had going before August 21.
Plan to take a break at 10:44 am (1:44 pm ET), when Moon goes VOC, making outcomes uncertain until after 2:37 pm (5:37 ET), when she enters extroverted Sagittarius.
Sag Moon makes a series of harmonies to the minor grand trine between outer planets, bringing the Archer’s expansive, visionary, and sociable gifts to our current evolutionary opportunities. We can focus on spirituality, business, trade, legal matters, studying or teaching, traveling, diplomacy, and networking.
At 3:58 pm (6:50 ET) Moon trines dreamy Neptune. We can clarify our vision, renew our visualization materials, connect with spirit guides or angels, attend or hold a spiritual gathering, engage in astral travel, produce for social networks, plan a trip, have a low-key adventure.
At 5:13 pm (8:13 ET) Moon trines revolutionary Uranus, followed by a sextile to transformative Pluto just 19 minutes later. Both planets are audacious and both push for change. Uranus in loquacious Gemini is now ruling Pluto in brilliant Aquarius, spotlighting revolutionary or innovative communication and connections. Embrace your personal style and emotions, try a new way of doing or promoting something, attend a gathering, and connect with progressive information and people.
With Moon’s sextile to Pluto, opportunities flow as we reach out to someone who can make a difference, so we can act with confidence, or boldly knock on an important door.
11:34 pm (2:34 am ET) Moon sextiles Sun, lifting our spirits and making for warm connections and opportunities to express ourselves, and to further our life purpose.
Affirmation:
I accept and receive the love that appears in rich, appropriate ways, here and now.
Saturday, September 27
After a few tense days, Moon in Sagittarius lightens the air waves. We can be spontaneous, have fun, laugh, spend time outdoors.
To avoid today: sermonizing, carelessness or overdoing.
We can also socialize and take care of practical matters, especially after 11:00 am (2:00 pm ET), when Moon squares sweet Venus, fueling personal magnetism and charm. We might work on trade, promotions, a legal matter or something requiring diplomacy, or we can lend or borrow money, or go to a back-to-school, party, and meet new people.
Affirmation:
I give thanks for the ever-expanding experience I have as the infinite being that I am, now and always.
Sunday, September 28
We can put new energy into a project or situation related to communication on any scale.
Moon in upbeat Sagittarius combines with today’s pioneering numerology of 1 and aspects to loquacious Mercury and broadcaster Jupiter; we can breathe new life into connections and broaden the reach of our communications. We may teach, transmit, present a case, demonstrate, work on trade, organize an event or a business meeting, find a legal solution, launch a business or program, practice diplomacy, socialize, or start a campaign of some kind.
At 2 Capricorn, the Sabian symbol for today’s lunation describes:
THREE ROSE WINDOWS IN A GOTHIC CHURCH, ONE DAMAGED BY WAR…. The necessary realization by any individual making a violent use of collective power that it will lead to… inevitable destruction of… values ensuring group-integration… the disruptive consequences of war. The “chief” who claimed power from his tribe in order to lead or save it must reckon with the consequences of a too-impulsive use of this power in terms of violence. The integration he seeks to maintain or enhance may be partially destroyed if in his ambition he yearns to be the victorious war leader glorified by his people. A “rose window” is not absolutely essential to a cathedral, yet it symbolizes that through which the “light of the Spirit” enters in… soul is said to be three-fold. Which part of… inner trinity… tends to be destroyed by the use of violence? Evidently the principle of love and compassion.Affirmation:This second stage symbol is in contrast to the preceding one because it opposes the power to destroy to the power to build. The “capital” of group-energies is partially squandered in armaments and death. WASTE is the opposite of group-integration.
I give thanks for my abilities and apply them fully, here and now.
Monday, September 29
Today there is both mystical and practical potential.
At 2:55 am (5:55 ET), Moon enters focused Capricorn, where it supports us to focus on work, business, administration, and anything requiring sustained effort.
At 4:05 am (7:05 ET) Moon squares psychic Neptune, increasing sensitivity to invisible realms and the beings that inhabit them. We can consult the angels, grow our faith, do dream work and visualize. Today’s numerology of 11 is ruled by Neptune, triggering a portal that angels can use to more easily access our heart energy and lift the planetary frequency. We can expand it by repeating prayers, affirmations, and mantras.
People connections go best after 12:55 pm (3:55 ET), when Moon sextiles assertive Mars, favoring contact with a leader, boss or authority figure, or to promote or sell something. With Moon in Capricorn, the harmony to Mars is especially constructive. We can ask for a raise, a promotion, or a support of some kind.
At 4:44 pm (7:44 ET), Moon reaches Second Quarter. Provoke a pause to review progress on something put in motion (or intended to) at last week’s New Moon.
Affirmation:
Guardian Angel, please hold in my highest focus, now and always.
Tuesday, September 30
People connections go well, especially for business, work, goals or relationships we wish to last.
Moon in Capricorn spotlights organizational activities and sustained effort to reach a goal.
We might plan to wake up with our love interest this morning, to enjoy Moon’s beautiful trine to affectionate Venus, exact at 5:20 am (8:20 ET). We can also direct this energy to reaffirm work contacts, close a sale, help an elder, or improve a relationship we wish to last.
The rest of the day can be productive financially and in connections. Showing you care about others can lead to future success and happiness.
At 8:39 pm (11:39 ET), Moon squares Mercury. Relationships aren’t so easy, but we can organize and declutter.
Affirmation:
I move out papers, things, and memories; and new good rushes in, here and now.
But what’s next?!
