Astrology Calendars

Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 1

Mars forms a square, and Mercury forms a quincunx with Saturn this morning. Obstacles may stand in the way of pursuing our desires, or we could feel blocked from asserting ourselves. Mental anxiety can interfere with making good, practical choices.

It’s a time to slow down and make adjustments and edits, as we may encounter resistance if we push ahead. It can seem like more effort than usual is required to complete tasks. We might face disapproval or a dip in confidence, and we should draw on patience and build our endurance.

It’s a better time for maintenance than it is for moving forward. Recognizing our limits and adjusting our speed accordingly is key. We might decide to conserve our energy for more flowing times. In fact, doubts might slow down our movements and initiatives. Still, however annoying, taking a break from pushing ahead to check in with our objectives can work in our favor.

The day advances with more certainty. Mercury forms a sextile with Mars, exciting our senses. This influence is forthright and forthcoming! Jupiter is at the midpoint of this aspect. It can be a time of animated discussions and/or thoughts. We want to learn, teach, debate, and do something with our ideas.

Our conversations are enthusiastic, and we feel excited about our interests and discoveries, which comes across well to others. We are exceptionally alert, resourceful, and aware, although possibly self-focused.

We also benefit from a Sun-Pluto biquintile, and we’re employing more strategic approaches and being more creative in our problem-solving, opting for innovative solutions rather than the easiest ones.

The Moon is void until it enters Taurus today at 4:02 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 2

This morning, Mercury’s minor square to Chiron can highlight insecurity, making it awkward for us to express ourselves naturally. Communication doesn’t readily flow. This could lead to minor misunderstandings if we’re not grasping or reading the meaning behind the words.

The Moon is in practical Taurus all day. It harmonizes with Mercury and Mars, and we’re more inclined to discuss matters of personal importance. We especially enjoy making, building, and developing things with these transits. It’s natural to draw on common sense today. We’re not particularly happy with ambiguity as the day advances.

The Moon is void from 6:47 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mercury), until the Moon enters Gemini the next day, Thursday, September 3rd, at 7:48 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Thursday, SEPTEMBER 3

The Moon continues its transit of Taurus until 7:48 AM EDT, when it enters Gemini, and we’re interested, curious, and adaptable, but we can also be somewhat scattered. The Moon’s harmony with Neptune and Pluto gives us a sense of mission, however.

Today’s Mercury-Pluto minor square can produce a somewhat suspicious way of looking at how things work. If others don’t agree with or adopt our ideas, we may take it as a personal affront. Some irritability is likely as we sort things out.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Gemini today at 7:48 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Friday, SEPTEMBER 4

The Last Quarter Moon occurs this morning at 3:52 AM EDT as the Sun in Virgo forms a square to the Moon in Gemini, pointing to a possible crisis of consciousness. We’ve processed recent epiphanies and now begin to see what works for us – and what doesn’t – in preparation for next week’s New Moon when something new is born again. It’s not ideal to start a significant project now, but it’s a fine time to finish details or tie up loose ends.

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini, stirring our need for mental engagement all day. This morning, we’re especially wise when managing our domestic or personal life. We naturally tend to be objective.

Main Astrology Calendar

Saturday, SEPTEMBER 5

This morning, a Venus-Jupiter quintile inspires cooperation in situations that call for it. We give one another the benefit of the doubt. It can feel especially good to put our faith in someone or something now.

However, the Sun forms a quincunx with Saturn, and there can be a clash between our responsibilities and desire to enjoy ourselves as the day advances. Doubts or lack of faith can temporarily slow us down and hinder our movements and initiatives.

Even so, this can be a helpful process as we take a break from pushing ahead. We might now see the need to adjust our plans based on new obligations or a reality check.

The Moon is void from 4:41 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Venus), until the Moon enters Cancer at 10:31 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Sunday, SEPTEMBER 6

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer. The Moon aligns with Mars and harmonizes with the Sun, and we want to pursue something personal and give it special attention. We can be filled with courage, enthusiasm, and initiative. It’s a good time for activities that engage our emotions, although we can also be impulsive and frustrated if faced with inaction.

While we can be risk-averse in many ways, our business sense is strong. It can be a time for bonding or showing support and loyalty in a relationship, although we might question levels of commitment.

The Cancer Moon fuels our desire for comfort, familiarity, and emotional wellness.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, SEPTEMBER 7

With the Sun and Jupiter forming a semi-sextile today, we may need to adjust our path if our ideals and long-term goals clash with what we can realistically accomplish.

As well, with a Sun-Chiron transit in play, we may doubt our inner guide and face situations that seem to test our vulnerabilities. We can feel unlucky, underestimated, unrecognized, or unrewarded. It may be best to strengthen ourselves and our plans, lay low, and conserve energy.

In fact, with a Mercury-Saturn parallel also active today, it’s a good time to establish routines and tend to practical matters. This indicates thinking in realistic, practical terms and a need for tangible results from our conversations and ideas.

The Moon is void from 9:40 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Venus), until the Moon enters Leo at 12:50 PM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 8

The Moon spends the day in Leo, encouraging our need to play, express ourselves, and create. As it aligns with Jupiter, we’re reaching for our joy, trusting in a mission or something higher than us. We’re embracing our affections, confidence, and bravery, and we’re seeking to grow, expand, and improve. This Moon brings out our theatrical, playful, and competitive side.

Mercury trines Juno early today, and we have a strong desire to learn, reason things out, and gain knowledge to empower ourselves.

It’s an excellent time to collaborate with someone to generate ideas, solve problems, and enjoy mental rapport. Feelings might develop for someone because of what is said or through a mental connection.

Main Astrology Calendar

Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 9

Venus harmonizes with the Moon’s Nodes today, and we are more dedicated than usual to creating harmony. We’re agreeable and cooperative, helping us reach our goals. We could feel lucky in love or business, and we might make a fortunate connection.

It’s best to center ourselves on this day before a New Moon and several shifts. It’s wise to lay low, and it’s a good time to reflect on what we want to improve.

The Moon continues its transit of Leo until 3:35 PM EDT, when it enters Virgo. The New Moon will occur in the earnest, hard-working sign of Virgo tomorrow.

The Moon is void from 2:58 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Venus), until the Moon enters Virgo at 3:35 PM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Thursday, SEPTEMBER 10

It’s an astrologically busy day. Mercury and Venus change signs, Uranus stations and turns retrograde, and the New Moon occurs tonight.

Venus enters Scorpio today and will transit the sign for longer than usual and in two steps due to an upcoming retrograde: from September 10th to October 25th, and then from December 4th to January 7th. It’s a highly emotional and passionate position for Venus.

This period promises intense and engaging experiences, as we seek projects, pleasures, and relationships that absorb or even consume us. While the fear of vulnerability or power struggles may heighten, we are adept at handling money and resources during this cycle.

We’re drawn to deeply engaging, dramatic pleasures, activities, projects, and art, making this a time of interesting and intense experiences. Profound, disturbing, mysterious, or unusual things can be more appealing now.

Venus opposes Chiron today, and disappointments can arise as we focus on differences and weaknesses rather than our strengths in our interactions. This reminds us of the importance of self-awareness in our decision-making.

Temporarily, we’re less confident about our relationships, social life, worth, money, or social skills. We are more aware of, and possibly resentful of, imbalances in our relationships and insecure about whether our affections are reciprocated.

There can be some anxiety or troubles with matters concerned with feelings and preferences until we get in touch with our actual needs and wants. It’s important to watch for going along with things we wouldn’t normally do just because we’re not decisive right now.

Mercury also changes signs as it heads into Libra, where it will transit until the 30th. During this cycle, we’re diplomatic and friendly, bringing a more rational approach to one-to-one relationships. It’s a good time to think about improving our negotiation skills.

Mercury in Libra can be a vacillating energy as we attempt to see both sides of any situation. While we can undoubtedly be indecisive, this is a good period to consider others’ points of view. We benefit and prosper through communicating more effectively and diplomatically, mediating, and negotiating or compromising. In fact, we might frequently think about ways to harmonize and live/interact more peacefully.

In generally good favor now are counseling, partnering, editing, and public relations. Our thinking is moderate — we avoid extremes of opinion, preferring to be fair to all involved.

Today, Mercury’s picky aspects can impact our perceptions and decision-making as we try to make sense of the information before us and attempt to find meaning in it. We may feel a little overwhelmed with information or, on the other side of things, overlook essential details. There’s a tendency to exaggerate or dramatize, as tedious mental tasks are especially difficult to digest.

Today’s New Moon occurs in the sign of Virgo at 11:27 PM EDT. As a time of new beginnings, this New Moon presents an excellent opportunity for us to formulate goals regarding “all things Virgo.” We’d do well to focus on new ways to organize our day-to-day life.

We might commit to personal goals that express the sign’s positive energies, such as building our ability to discriminate healthily and constructively or starting a new project that requires attention to detail. We might set up specific routines to help us manage our lives in productive, mindful ways.

Freeing our minds from clutter can be an important goal. Striving to improve can be a wonderful challenge, as long as we don’t let ourselves become so focused on flaws that we feel guilty or stressed.

Because the New Moon harmonizes with Mars, we’re filled with energy and courage to make improvements.

Main Astrology Calendar

Uranus now turns retrograde at 5° Gemini 42′. Each year, Uranus is retrograde for approximately 5 months. Today, Uranus begins its retrograde phase, which will continue until February 8th, 2027.

Uranus Retrograde September 10, 2026, to February 8, 2027

Uranus Retrograde in Gemini: September 10, 2026-February 8, 2027

• Uranus enters retrograde zone/shadow on May 25, 2026, at 1° Gemini 41′
• Uranus stations and turns retrograde on September 10, 2026, at 5° Gemini 42′ Rx
• Uranus stations and turns direct on February 8, 2027, at 1° Gemini 41′
• Uranus leaves retrograde zone/shadow on May 25, 2027, at 5° Gemini 42′

What does Uranus Retrograde mean?

During this cycle, our desire to make changes in our lives can turn inward as we get in touch with what may be holding us back from living more spontaneously and authentically.

We may be less overtly rebellious and more inclined to follow the rules while Uranus is retrograde approximately five months a year. As the shift occurs this week, however, Uranian energy is more challenging, and we can experience some tension until we acclimatize to the directional change.

The Moon is New in Virgo on September 10, 2026, at 11:27 PM EDT.

New Moon in Virgo Chart: September 10th, 2026

This phase of the Moon occurs at 18 degrees and 26 minutes of Virgo. This New Moon in Virgo harmonizes with Mars.

The New Moon occurs as the Moon aligns with the Sun in the sign of Virgo.

A time of new beginnings, this New Moon presents an excellent opportunity for us to formulate some goals regarding “all things Virgo.” We’d do well to concentrate on new ways to get our day-to-day life organized. We might think about the keywords for this particular and earthy sign — such things as analytical, intelligent, reserved, critical, helpful, conscientious — and consider ways to enhance, develop, or incorporate these traits into our personalities.

Please note that Virgo is found somewhere in every person’s chart, and these are the areas of our lives most affected now.

The New Moon in Virgo is an excellent time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Virgin. These include:

• building our powers of healthy, constructive discrimination;
• rolling up our sleeves and getting down to some serious work;
• beginning a new project that requires attention to details;
• making lists, actively ticking off completed activities, and taking pride in our “little” accomplishments;
• starting a health regime, researching nutrition and nourishment, and paying attention to our diet;
• setting up specific routines that will help us manage our lives in constructive and mindful ways;
• and handling the finer details of our day-to-day life in an organized, step-by-step fashion so that we can free our minds of clutter.

We’re ready to make something special of our work, routines, or tasks. It’s a powerful time to transform our jobs, health, self-care programs, and habits. We’re filled with energy and courage to make improvements. It’s a spontaneous, creative, forward-looking time. There can be some roadblocks to manage, largely related to responsibilities to others or to our spiritual or mental health, but we’re determined to start fresh.

The above chart is excellent for seeing the fundamental influences and chart pattern of this New Moon. The chart below adds more details with additional points. Click to enlarge:

New Moon in Virgo 2026

Friday, SEPTEMBER 11

It’s a good time to sense trends and interpret dreams, symbols, and hidden meanings with today’s Mercury-Neptune parallel.

This transit stirs themes of daydreaming, visualization, and prophecy. We can come up with unusual but helpful theories. It’s possible to heal and inspire through our words.

As the day advances, a Mercury-Mars quintile is especially clever energy for figuring things out and solving problems.

The Moon continues its transit of precise, organized Virgo until 7:52 PM EDT, when it heads into balanced, considerate Libra.

The Moon is void from 1:52 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mars), until the Moon enters Libra at 7:52 PM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Saturday, SEPTEMBER 12

Mercury trines Pluto and then opposes Neptune today, and our desire for depth, magic, meaning, complexity, and imagination in our communications, thoughts, and personal interests comes on strongly.

With the Mercury-Pluto trine, we seek truths and unexplored topics and ideas. It can be a time to gain a deeper understanding of a matter. Our mental faculties are attuned to otherworldly impressions, offering increased insight, psychological understanding, awareness, and focused attention.

We might discover new information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve been avoiding. It’s an excellent time to let go of something that has kept us bound to negative elements of the past. Conversations can be gently provocative.

Mercury’s opposition to Neptune can obscure our viewpoint, however. We may vacillate between two very different visions of a matter when the truth is likely somewhere in between. Discrepancies that challenge our thinking can emerge, and concentrating on technical facts can be difficult. We could find ourselves on a mental teeter-totter, see-sawing between fact and fiction! If our minds wander now, it may be that we’ve recently neglected to feed our imaginations.

During this transit, we should watch for misrepresentation, overlooked practical details, and self-defeating thoughts. However, this can be a good opportunity to stretch our thinking and consider possibilities we might overlook on a regular day.

A Mars-Uranus semi-square adds an impatient edge to the day’s energies. We may seek to dominate or assert our independence if we feel trapped, restricted, or otherwise limited.

However, the Moon in Libra all day inclines us to smooth things over and harmonize.

Main Astrology Calendar

Sunday, SEPTEMBER 13

The Libra Moon is balanced and accommodating. We’ll go to great lengths to keep things fair and compromise when needed. This transit brings relationship-focused, friendly, and considerate energy to the day.

Its square to Mars this morning, however, can fire up our feelings and perhaps disruptively stir our desire for action, activity, and challenges. A need for personal space may clash with relationship goals, and impatience could be a downfall.

Otherwise, this Moon transit helps us see the other side of a story or situation, and we feel freer to do so as the day advances.

With Mercury trine Uranus today encouraging inventiveness, we’re enjoying new, unusual, and refreshing ideas and concepts. With this mind-opening transit, we seek answers that aren’t the most obvious, and we can get to some exciting places mentally.

We’re expressing ourselves in different or unique ways rather than falling back on old habits of thinking and communicating, and it’s successful. Conversations can lead to new ideas and perspectives. Insights or creative ideas come suddenly, unexpectedly, and brilliantly.

The Moon is void from 10:27 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mars), until the Moon enters Scorpio tomorrow, Monday, September 14th, at 2:44 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, SEPTEMBER 14

The Moon leaves Libra and enters Scorpio early today, at 2:44 AM EDT. The Scorpio Moon is good for researching, investigating, and getting to the bottom of matters.

The Moon highlights the energy of an upcoming Venus-Pluto square this morning, and struggles for or against control are possible.

However, the Sun sextiles Mars today, and we want to take the initiative. We feel we can accomplish a lot, and our rhythm and timing are good. Stress eases as we feel confident about our abilities and our judgment. We are more able to assert ourselves without rubbing people the wrong way. We’re also ready to take on a challenge, and we’re competitive in a natural, unforced way.

We can feel energized, particularly about tying up loose ends or dealing with financial matters. This can be a time of resourcefulness, as we respond to problems or challenges with spirited, enthusiastic confidence.

The Moon is void until it enters Scorpio today at 2:44 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 15

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Scorpio, and there can be a boost to our intimate life and self-understanding, especially tonight. It’s a great time to dig up new information or uncover hidden things.

However, with Venus square Pluto and quincunx Neptune today, our personal relationships, spending, entertainment, or social life can be complicated. We might want to get to the truth on the one hand and prefer to nurture a fantasy or look the other way on the other. Insecurity or doubt about others, or our own feelings and perceptions, may arise.

With these transits, our comfort levels and ambitions can feel at odds, creating some tension. There can be obstacles to clear as we wrestle with our fears.

The Venus-Pluto square can accentuate or stimulate our insecurities, bringing suspicions and jealousies to the surface. Jealous and possessive feelings are directly proportional to fear of losing something or someone.

We may worry about betrayal or about being kept in the dark. Social interactions may be intense or could provoke intense feelings. It can be exceedingly easy to trigger sensitive points, but what works us up can be very revealing to those on a self-discovery journey.

Fears can disrupt the flow, but they can also help us see what we previously overlooked. Ideally, by working through these uncertainties, we can emerge more self-aware.

The Moon is void from 11:30 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to the Sun), until the Moon enters Sagittarius the next day, Wednesday, September 16th, at 12:41 PM EDT.

Neptune sextile Pluto.

Neptune, at 3° Aries 16’Rx, forms a sextile aspect with Pluto at 3° Aquarius 16’Rx in September 2026. This is the second of many such aspects while Neptune is in Aries and Pluto is in Aquarius. [Note: Often, aspects formed between outer planets and slow-moving points occur three or more times in a set due to retrograde motion.]

With Neptune sextile Pluto, we are especially able to see the layers of a situation. We’re intrigued by what makes things work and by people’s motivations, as well as economics, natural resources, parapsychology, and politics. It’s a time of rich experiences and cultural movements, transformative scientific thought and advancement, and of paying more sensitive attention to human rights. Psychic energy is intense but not overwhelmingly so during this phase of spiritual unclogging.

We seek a sense of purpose or magic now, wanting to elevate what’s mundane or ordinary in our lives. We might work on deepening our intuition, imagination, or compassion, or we might feel more compelled to act on these things to make a change.

Neptune sextile Pluto dates:

• on July 25th, 2026, at 4º Aries 20′ and 4° 20′ of Aquarius (first)
• on September 15th, 2026, at 3º Aries 16′ (second)
• June 28th, 2027, at 6º Aries 38′ (third)
• October 16th, 2027, at 4º Aries 45′ (fourth)
• June 9th, 2028, at 8º Aries 37′ (fifth)
• November 7th, 2028, at 6º Aries 30′ (sixth)
• May 22nd, 2029, at 10º Aries 25′ (seventh)
• November 30th, 2029, at 8º Aries 26′ (eighth)
• May 4th, 2030, at 12º Aries 03′ (ninth)
• December 26th, 2030, at 10º Aries 35′ (tenth)
• April 12th, 2031, at 13º Aries 25′ (eleventh)
• February 10th, 2032, at 13º Aries 28′ (twelfth)
• February 29th, 2032, at 14º Aries 01′ (thirteenth).

Neptune sextile Pluto

Main Astrology Calendar

Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 16

Neptune forms a sextile with Pluto, and this is the second perfection, and this is the second of many such aspects while Neptune is in Aries and Pluto is in Aquarius (the first was in July). In fact, Neptune will form a sextile with Pluto thirteen times, until the year 2032.

With this long-term influence, we are especially able to see the layers of a situation. We’re intrigued by what makes things work and by people’s motivations, as well as economics, natural resources, parapsychology, and politics. It’s a time of rich experiences and cultural movements, transformative scientific thought and advancement, and of paying more sensitive attention to human rights.

Psychic energy is intense but not overwhelmingly so during this phase of spiritual unclogging. We seek a sense of purpose or magic now, wanting to elevate what’s mundane or ordinary in our lives. We might work on deepening our intuition, imagination, or compassion, or we might feel more compelled to act on these things to make a change.

The Sun is parallel to Saturn, bringing a responsible and serious theme to the day. We’re measured and moderate in our approach.

With a Sun-Chiron biquintile also in play, we’re willing to grow, learn, and listen. We’re absorbing and sharing what we’ve learned from past experiences and mistakes. Holistic problem-solving is particularly rewarding and successful.

The Moon is void until the Moon enters Sagittarius today at 12:41 PM EDT.

Thursday, SEPTEMBER 17

Chiron returns to the sign of Aries today.

Chiron entered Taurus in June, but later turned retrograde on August 3rd. Now, while still retrograde, Chiron returns to the sign of Aries–its last visit before moving on. On January 6th, 2027, Chiron will end its retrograde and turn direct.

It will continue to transit Aries until April 14th, 2027, at which time it will enter Taurus and stay there consistently.

We may be tying up loose ends represented by Chiron’s transit of Aries until then.

Today’s Sagittarius Moon is spontaneous, forward-looking, and brave. Its energy is easy to tap into constructively as it harmonizes with Mercury, Saturn, and Jupiter. We’re especially interested in what’s true, just, and fair today.

Main Astrology Calendar

Friday, SEPTEMBER 18

Mercury opposes Saturn, and both bodies are square Ceres this morning. While the desire to follow through on our ideas is strong, we can encounter blocks. We take more pride in our ideas or intelligence, which can backfire if confronted with criticism or perceived criticism, as is likely now.

We want to be correct and thorough, and we can feel frustrated when plans go awry. We may fear saying the wrong thing or being incorrect, which can lead to frustrating discussions.

Under this heavy influence, we may communicate harshly, sparingly, or reluctantly. Doubts might slow our decisions, though this can be helpful as we pause before pushing ahead. There can be mental, transportation, or communication blocks.

We may encounter criticism, delays, or challenges to our opinions, ideas, or intelligence. Circumstances may require us to tone down our enthusiasm if our plans are lacking and think in more practical, realistic terms.

We may feel the need to organize, structure, or limit our family activities, emotions, or care for others right now, and it can feel like a burden. Or we may feel a strong sense of duty toward loved ones or caring for people in our lives, perhaps without feeling appreciated for our efforts.

Decisions about family, health, or nutrition may feel pressing right now.

The First Quarter Moon occurs at 4:43 PM EDT, and our initiative is strong but might come from conflict or tension. It can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also great energy, motivation, and growth. We can be feeling quite ambitious and competitive now.

The Moon is void from 4:44 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to the Sun), until the Moon enters Capricorn early tomorrow, Saturday, September 19th, at 12:55 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Saturday, SEPTEMBER 19

The Moon leaves Sagittarius and enters Capricorn shortly into the day, at 12:55 AM EDT. The Capricorn Moon is earthy, practical, and wise. Today, we become more aware of our responsibilities.

This morning, we can easily get distracted, but beyond that, our need for order and self-discipline can take over. Our judgment is sound, and practical matters are a stronger focus.

With the Moon’s sextile to Venus late morning, we’re embracing ways to blend, balance, and cooperate with one another. Opportunities may arise to add personal or creative touches to our projects and pursuits.

The Moon is void until it enters Capricorn today at 12:55 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Sunday, SEPTEMBER 20

With today’s Jupiter-Uranus quintile, we notice and appreciate the more unique elements of situations, people, and projects. This outer-planet transit brings these themes to the month.

Today, however, Venus forms a quincunx with Uranus, and there can be impulsive spending, peculiar attractions, fear of commitment, and issues around freedom vs. intimacy.

We might question whether we need more excitement in our relationships or freedom from them, yet we don’t feel confident enough to rock the boat. Taming rebelliousness makes sense now.

As well, with today’s Mars transits, confrontations can be messy, as we tend to assert ourselves defensively or explosively. We should make extra effort to respect and validate others when expressing what we need and want.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, SEPTEMBER 21

Jupiter forms a trine to Pallas today, and we can be especially helpful, ready to share words of wisdom. It’s a strong influence for big-picture planning and thinking. Mercury hooks into this with its opposition to Pallas and sextile to Jupiter. In some ways, we may be pushing the limits on a mental level.

While we should watch for overconfident judgments and talking over one another, we’re gracious, alert, optimistic, and resourceful, seeking the positive side of situations and solutions to problems. We take a more philosophical approach to thinking and are open to learning.

It’s a time of new insights and cooperation. Our minds open, and we seek a positive focal point. Reaching a mutually beneficial agreement or arrangement is possible now.

While the Moon’s opposition to Mars this morning can point to tension, distraction, and impatience if we’ve taken on too much, we’re generally in a good place to find wisdom in traditional methods. We’re bringing structure to our lives and projects.

The Moon is void from 10:32 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to the Sun), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 1:15 PM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 22

The Sun enters Libra today, but before it does, it forms a quincunx to Chiron, and we’re not allowing ourselves to shine fully. Doubting our effectiveness can subtly undermine our confidence. We may doubt our inner guide and face situations that seem to test our vulnerabilities. Some indecision is possible, and self-expression may feel choppy and unnatural at times.

We can also experience guilt about not dealing with problems head-on. However, our attempts to manage doubt and guilt today can help clear the path for opportunities later.

Today’s Jupiter-Neptune sesquiquadrate, and we may be questioning our projects or grappling with differing beliefs and expectations. We may need to tame expectations — of ourselves and of others — if they are unreasonably high. This may indicate an inability to focus on important, realistic details, some disorganization, and extravagance or exaggeration. Routine seems to be particularly unsatisfying now.

This is a time when we easily take a detour from a practical path. It can also be a time when we are disillusioned by something (or someone).

Spiritual inspiration is a potential, however, particularly today, with the Sun approaching a parallel to Neptune. Our stores of compassion and imagination are readily accessible, and we’re open to latching onto something that inspires us.

The Sun heads into Libra, and until October 23rd, we more often focus on balancing our personal environments and relationships. It’s a time for considering alternatives and others’ needs, agendas, and desires. Meeting people halfway, compromising, and negotiating come under the rule of Libra. Decision-making can be more challenging while the Sun is in Libra–we weigh both sides of any situation, and sometimes this process goes on too long!

In Libra, the Sun doesn’t want to rock the boat or rub people the wrong way. Tactfulness, style, tolerance, and sociability are key themes. On the shadow side, Libra can be indecisive, passive-aggressive, or superficial when challenged.

Main Astrology Calendar

Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 23

Mercury’s sesquiquadrate with Uranus today can produce minor missteps or surprising turnarounds. While our minds are open to possibilities, there can be some mental disorganization to manage. This is a scatterbrained aspect – we might have original ideas, but struggle to convey them or make them work for now.

The Moon spends most of the day, until 11:24 PM EDT, in Aquarius before moving into Pisces. Tonight, the Moon aligns with Chiron and the North Node before it enters Pisces, reminding us to challenge ourselves to grow and improve. We’re learning to embrace our humanitarian, community-oriented, and forward-looking nature, and dealing with unresolved emotional matters may be the way forward.

The Moon is void from 4:19 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mercury), until the Moon enters Pisces at 11:24 PM EDT.
