A busy week with alot of aspects. Some very good and the Moon will finish each sign on a positive note, so that's good news - all's well that ends well, even when there is some muck to deal with before we get to the end. Keep this in mind.

All good closing aspects?! Am I awake or am I dreaming?! Well, there is a magical Pisces Full Moon this week, so I might be dreaming!

Oh course, when I look again I see that Mars is slowed down and not making such great aspects, so there's that, but challenging Mars aspects are MOTIVATING, so there's that, and we are going to be feeling the pressure to ACT one way or the other, so there's that.

Especially on news/information from last week.

But, Mercury is making some smooth moves. Who taught this guy how to dance?

So, our thinking, news, information, writing, communicating, local situations - all serious, all practical, all a GO.

Two of our three personal planets are changing signs at the end of the week, so expect fresh air and a renewed passion. And next week we have one of those infamous "luckiest days of the year" as Jupiter contacts the Sun - so what are we waiting for?!

MONDAY - Saturn inconjuncts the North Node
TUESDAY - Mercury trines Pluto
WEDNESDAY - Venus opposes Saturn, Sun trines Uranus, Full Moon in Pisces
THURSDAY - Mercury trines Saturn
FRIDAY - Venus squares Mars, Mercury inconjuncts Mars, squares the Galactic Center and sextiles Venus
SATURDAY - Mercury into Libra, Pallas stations direct
SUNDAY - Venus into Leo

MONDAY - Saturn, retrograde (until the end of September) in his home sign of Capricorn is focused on re-structuring, altering old ways/definitions of "work", old rules, traditions, limits, how we handle responsibilities and authority - bread-winning, our careers, our status in the world.

Here he reaches a tight spot through a rock and a hard place aspect to our North Node best way forward - which involves our communication, how we talk to people so they can actually hear us, how we listen, keeping things local and small.

Inconjuncts require adjustments. The win-wins, that often feel more like lose-lose, but not a total loss if you see what I mean.

This can be about adjustments with the structures we have put into place to keep things local - which can mean everything from connections within our local community and the ways we keep in touch with siblings/neighbors, to limiting our time/attention to news outside our sphere that alters our mood/thinking in a negative way. What needs to change?

TUESDAY - Mercury has been flying through his home sign of Virgo and will be in Libra in a couple days bringing more diplomacy (YAY for that), but for now we get these last few days to dot our i's and cross our t's.

He, as we, may have been distracted, finishing errands, attending to the details, now he makes a smooth trine (brakes off) to powerful Pluto at 22 Cappy (this degree is uber amplified and clear now, since it was basically wiped out back in January). This is a closing trine and brings us back to their conjunction in January 2020. Powerful information/truth is accessible to us now, use it or lose it. 

Communications with authority, paperwork, power moves via emails and conversations are all a GO.

Virgo rules our day-to-day situations, our work, our co-workers, employees, pets, our health - what moves can we make to take charge of this stuff? Who has the authority to help us? Reach out. Pluto is retrograde so this could be an old situation, something we started before and we pull back out now, maybe old work that needs to be finished off/polished up, etc.

This energy can also be about something that resonates with us as "true". Is everything going to turn out to be true? All possible theories finding a way to exist simultaneously? I think my head right explode.

WEDNESDAY - Today we have a powerful Full Moon in Pisces - BIG Post to follow!

This is also the day, and we will talk about this in detail in the Full Moon post, the Moon sextiles Uranus (inevitable change, mystical awakenings) and Venus opposes Saturn (ouch, reality check, commit or quit, but Venus also has a way of moderating Saturn, so we'll have to see how this falls when we look at the entire chart).

More in the Full Moon post.

THURSDAY - Mercury trines Saturn. This is the closing trine of the Mercury/Saturn cycle that started back in January. Maybe we get some good news about the virus now. An improved plan of action. Commitments. Serious news. Personally, we are talking about our Virgo/Cappy natal house themes and collectively our work/career/practical goals. We are buckling down now. Maybe getting good news/rewards/recognition. Communications with authority go well. Another GO.

Keep in mind Saturn is retrograde, so this won't be a totally new situation. If you are looking for work, this would be a good week to contact prior contacts/old employers, etc. Saturn will return to this exact position around the middle of October, so maybe some contact/communication that is initiated now will finalize then.

Virgo/Cappy is strong and solid builder energy. Where we put our foot down we make an imprint on Earth soft enough to feel it. Heads up - longish void Moon today.

FRIDAY - Venus squares Mars. A motivating tension between what we want and how we go about getting what we want. This is Cancer/Aries - maybe some frustration between that home/family situation and us personally. Our pushing will just cause the other person to withdraw. These are both personal planets, so we might delegate one of these energies to someone else and battle it out. Cue the boxing robots.

At the same time an active Mercury, at the end of his home sign of Virgo is sextiling Venus (opportunity to get organized with resources/money, that home/family situation) inconjunct Mars (a rock and hard place with our actions/thinking, putting an idea into practice, being able to walk our talk) AND squaring the Galactic Center - our homing signal. This is too much to untangle. Expect opposing views/polarization. Frustration. Don't think for a moment that you don't need a crisis because sometimes you do. Still I'd focus on that Mercury/Venus sextile - something is falling into place here. We won't need to push.

SATURDAY - The Moon in Aries squares the Cappy planets and brings some tension/intensity.

Mercury (communication, ideas, thinking, siblings, local neighborhood) moves into Libra (balance, fairness, diplomacy, passive-aggression, indecision, peace, art, beauty, women) today where he/she will hang his hat until September 27th.

Successful words are more tactful now - more focused on what the other person needs/wants. That splitting hairs and checking for typos Mercury did back in Virgo cedes way to saying it nicely.

Our thinking could be more indecisive now. Not because Libra is wishy-washy so much as just able to see both sides of any situation. Libra's polarity sign Aries can make fast decisions because the energy can focus most easily on one point of view - their own. Ha! And because this is the way life seems to works we will often be faced with a decision at exactly the time all this energy makes decision-making hard - go figure.

Libra is the natural ruler of our 7th house of other people. Life gets more complicated after the 7th house. Do you have any planets in your 7th house or in Libra - these are the archetypes we usually set up our lives to have played out by other people - how's that working for ya'?

Libra wants everybody to be friends. Diplomacy, both in our personal lives and the larger collective, if actually attempted, can improve tense situations now. The gentle art of persuasion via a lighter touch can work, too. Mercury in Libra is a good listener because Libra actually cares about other people! Words that make people feel loved and appreciated and beautiful will be the right words.

Our natal Libra house gets a visit from multi-tasking, inquisitive Mercury. So things in the area of our life naturally ruled by Libra get busy.

Cooperation/compromise are the name of the game now.

With a personal planet in air it is also an excellent time to get a head cold. Do whatever you normally do to prevent that.

Pallas stations direct in Capricorn. The first of our current Cappy pile-up to station direct - here is where our strategies/plans can begin moving forward. Pallas notices patterns/makes sense of things. Having her, "the head", begin to move forward FIRST is more good news.

SUNDAY - Venus moves into Leo until October 2nd. YAY - some fiery Leo again! And Venus rules Uranus in Taurus, so double good news, I think. Our Leo house, hosting the lovely Venus, becomes more attractive. Leo Suns and rising signs are more attractive, too (both easy on the eye and able to attract what they want).

We attract what we want and need (Venus) through Leo - so by standing out, standing up, being passionate, taking the world by storm - you get the idea.

We could, of course, go overboard with all of this. Leo (ruled by the Sun) doesn't really like others blocking their light. Competition can get ugly. We could become downright diva-like. Being in love with being in love fits here, too. Our passion and confidence will be what attracts others to us and what we are attracted to in others now.

Wanting to be adored will make being ignored harder to handle.

We are more likely to gamble with our resources (even risk our reputation or relationships) for the next few weeks. Keep this in mind.

In Leo, Venus wants FUN and romance and creativity and passion. Girls really do want to have fun - cue Cyndi Lauper.

Back with that big picture I keep promising and the Full Moon post plus a couple dailies to add in the Moon!

Have a wonderful week. Mars stations retrograde on September 9th - if you have something to get going you best get going with it!

Keep in mind I am writing about these aspects for the day they perfect, and you might feel them more as they are building, or sometimes, even as they are unwinding. All days are based on EDT.
