Events by this organizer

Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 1

Mercury forms a trine to Pluto this morning, and we’re in good shape for profound insight, psychological understanding, awareness, and focused attention. We seek out the hidden message and draw upon our powers of persuasion. The Moon continues its transit of Aquarius until 5:35 AM EDT when it enters Pisces. The Pisces Moon is understanding and somewhat escapist.

As the day advances, a Venus-Saturn opposition comes into influence (it’s exact tomorrow morning). Negative feedback or blockage can slow us down–ideally only enough to pace ourselves or adjust our expectations. A Full Moon will occur early tomorrow, and this serves to heighten our feelings. We may be coming to important realizations today and tomorrow.

The void Moon occurs from 12:57 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mars), until the Moon enters Pisces at 5:35 AM EDT.

Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 2

The Moon spends the day in Pisces, and a Full Moon occurs in the sign early today at 1:23 AM EDT. This lunation challenges us to identify and express our spiritual needs while maintaining order in our everyday lives. Illumination of a dream or a desire to find more meaning in our lives can figure strongly now. It’s important to avoid looking for salvation through a relationship, person, project, or business. We may be putting too-high expectations on these things when we should be looking within for happiness.

The Venus-Saturn opposition this morning reminds us of our responsibilities, which can temporarily feel more burdensome than usual. Financial limitations may make themselves known, or burdens of our debts or obligations to others magnify. We may need to pay the piper, or if we’ve been overdoing pleasures, we now need to catch up on our duties. Burdens, lack, limitations, and problems can loom larger than usual under the Venus-Saturn influence, particularly regarding love, pleasure, and finances.

A trine between the Sun and Uranus, however, encourages us to embrace change and progress. This transit helps loosen things up. We might make some changes or discoveries, and our willingness to take a few creative risks and experiment may be the key to success.

Thursday, SEPTEMBER 3

Mercury forms a trine to Saturn very early today, helping us ground and center our thoughts and communications. Conversations may be spare but instructive. It’s a good time for systematic thinking and a step-by-step approach to tasks and problems. The Moon continues its transit of Pisces until 4:23 PM EDT when it moves into Aries. While the Pisces Moon is compassionate and meandering, the Moon in Aries demands more definition or action. We want to start fresh.

A Venus-Mars square, exact tomorrow morning, comes into play today, and we can feel some tension or dissatisfaction. This transit can awaken many urges and desires, but most may only be whims or distractions. Disagreements are possible with differences and contrasts standing out more than usual. A passive or soft approach may irritate, but an aggressive approach can be grating, too–we seem to have poor timing. We can be temperamental and sensitive. What we value and what we desire can be at odds. Ideally, discontent prompts creative improvements and changes.

The void Moon occurs from 10:35 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Venus), until the Moon enters Aries at 4:23 PM EDT.

Friday, SEPTEMBER 4

Today’s Aries Moon is typically direct and action-oriented. However, the planetary ruler of Aries, Mars, is forming tense aspects today, and it may not be easy to get in touch with what we desire or where we stand. If we do know what we want, how to get it can be in question. Mercury and the Sun form minor challenging aspects to the fiery planet, and if we’re out of touch with our desires, our expression is choppy or misrepresentative.

Even so, Mercury forms a sextile to Venus, encouraging cooperation and agreement. This transit facilitates compromises, negotiations, and clarification of feelings. We can feel moved to present our ideas or romantic overtures, teach, guide, and make deals. We’re inclined to verbalize or analyze our feelings and relationships.

Saturday, SEPTEMBER 5

Mercury enters Libra today and will transit the sign until the 27th. We are diplomatic and friendly during this cycle, and we bring a more rational approach to one-to-one relationships. It’s an excellent time to improve our negotiation skills. In an attempt to see both sides of any given situation, Mercury in Libra can be vacillating energy. It can be more challenging than usual to make quick decisions, as we can sit “on the fence.” We may too easily accommodate others’ opinions to keep the peace. However, this is a good period for considering others’ points of view and coming to reasonable conclusions. The Moon spends the day in the sign of Aries, however, and we can be in an independent, self-starting frame of mind.

Sunday, SEPTEMBER 6

The Moon continues its transit of Aries until it heads into the sign of Taurus at 4:44 AM EDT. While the Moon in Aries seeks to innovate, the Taurus Moon focuses on building upon what’s already in place. We seek comfort and predictability. Venus enters Leo today, and will transit the sign until October 2nd. During this transit, we take pride in love, and we’re generous with our money. It’s a warm-hearted, playful, expressive, and proud placement for Venus. We tend to feed on attention, acknowledgment, validation, and adoration during this transit. We can have a high ego investment in our money, love life, children, or pastimes. We should watch for extravagance and for overstating our feelings only for effect.

The void Moon occurs from 12:46 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Mars), until the Moon enters Taurus at 4:44 AM EDT.

Monday, SEPTEMBER 7

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Taurus, encouraging us to enjoy ourselves and appreciate what we have going for us. There can be a slowing down and stabilizing of our feelings. Earthy activities and sensual pleasures appeal now more than usual, and we find a sense of peace and contentment with that which is familiar and reliable.

Even so, the Moon aligns with Uranus and harmonizes with the Sun, Jupiter, and Neptune, suggesting the desire to grow, improve, and innovate. We easily find outlets for emotional expression. Compassionate feelings and interactions can figure strongly.

Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 8

The Moon continues its transit of stable Taurus until it enters connected Gemini at 5:28 PM EDT. While the Moon is in Taurus, life may seem to move a little more slowly, mostly in a pleasant way. We are especially aware of our need to enjoy the sensual pleasures of life. The Moon in Gemini is curious and communicative, making it a good time to look into new topics and handle several different tasks, although it’s not an ideal time for follow-through.

The Sun is heading toward a trine to Jupiter, and enthusiasm runs high. Cooperation comes easily under this influence that emphasizes the positive in our lives. Nevertheless, we might avoid making significant changes just for now. Mars is set to turn retrograde, coming to its retrograde station tomorrow evening, and there can be some confusion or indecision as we change gears and adapt to the change.

The void Moon occurs from 8:47 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Saturn), until the Moon enters Gemini at 5:28 PM EDT.

Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 9

The Moon spends the day in Gemini, stimulating our desire to mingle, connect, chat, and learn. Today’s Sun-Jupiter trine encourages a desire to grow, expand, improve, and impress. Whether it’s a business venture, friendship, attitude, self-improvement endeavor, or relationship, we want to bring it to the next level. Enthusiasm runs high, and cooperation comes easily. We might make grand gestures, show off a little, and rise above petty problems and differences.

While optimism is strong, Mars stations and turns retrograde today, suggesting we might reserve judgment. There can be some difficulties knowing what we want as the shift occurs. During the Mars retrograde cycle itself, which spans from today until November 13th, we need to re-assess our current projects, our approach to getting what we want, and our desires. Rather than directly asserting our desires, we are more reflective and cautious.

Mars in direct motion is straightforward, assertive, and even aggressive, but with Mars in retrograde motion, Mars energy is essentially turned inward – it’s internalized, intensified, personalized, and perhaps pressurized. We can be hesitant about taking action, second-guessing our instincts or our natural impulses rather than acting upon them. This cycle affords us the chance to learn more about what we want and how we pursue our desires. Today, we’re shifting gears.

Thursday, SEPTEMBER 10

The Last Quarter Moon occurs this morning as the Sun in Virgo forms a square to the Moon in Gemini. This is a time for seeing our next steps and taking a more mature look at a matter. We might consider revelations we had in the last week and what they mean for us. However, cloudly thinking is likely today. This morning, a Venus-Neptune minor challenge might seduce us into believing things that we want to believe. While glossing over the more realistic points, details, and flaws of circumstances and people provides us with instant gratification, it’s best to hold off on making important purchases or relationship decisions until the veil lifts.

As well, Mercury opposes Chiron this afternoon, coloring the day with another layer of uncertainty. We may interpret feedback as criticism, and we should watch for misrepresenting ourselves. As we focus on the differences and weaknesses rather than the strong points, we may give too much weight to matters that don’t deserve the attention.

Friday, SEPTEMBER 11

With the Sun opposite Neptune today, we can easily get lost in fantasy as we feel somewhat directionless and not very up to facing everyday realities. The tendency to glamorize others or to put people on a pedestal can come to a head now, and this can extend beyond people to situations and objects. It’s a time for seeking a better balance between action and reflection. We are more sensitive and vulnerable under this influence, but also quite prone to misperceiving people or situations. We might watch for projecting our unrealized dreams or wishes onto others. Willpower is low. It’s not a good time for major financial undertakings or formal agreements. We’ve been paying more attention to service to others and our physical health, and we may need to take a step back for spiritual refreshment.

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until it moves into the sign of Cancer at 4:23 AM EDT. Warmth, comfort, familiarity, and safety are drives with the Moon in Cancer.

The void Moon occurs from 12:48 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mars), until the Moon enters Cancer at 4:23 AM EDT.

Saturday, SEPTEMBER 12

Mercury forms a quincunx to Uranus this morning, which can find us feeling a little unsettled mentally. It can be a challenge to gain others’ understanding. We should watch for poorly-considered decisions, impulsive communications, and disorganization leading to misunderstandings. Jupiter turns direct after four months of retrograde motion since May 14th. Gradually over the next few weeks, matters ruled by Jupiter will move forward more straightforwardly. Our confidence in ourselves and the universe builds. Our faith and perspective expand, although as this shift occurs now, problems can seem larger than life. This direct turn can feel refreshing. The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer, and we’re inclined to find much to love about what’s most familiar to us.

Sunday, SEPTEMBER 13

With Venus trine Chiron today, we may get the chance to heal our relationships with an openness to learning from one another. We more easily see the beauty of human weaknesses. It’s a good time to build trust in relationships and to recognize potential in one another. We understand the value of the people, relationships, pleasures, and things in our lives. We can benefit from interacting with others in fresh ways, with more authenticity and sincerity.

The Moon continues its transit of Cancer until it enters Leo at 11:32 AM EDT. While the Moon’s square to retrograde Mars this morning can rile us up with resentment or stir up buried frustrations, as the day advances, it’s easy to move on. The Leo Moon encourages our affectionate, expressive natures.

The void Moon occurs from 8:05 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mars), until the Moon enters Leo at 11:32 AM EDT.

Monday, SEPTEMBER 14

The Sun in Virgo trines Pluto today, and delving deeply into a matter can be satisfying and rewarding. We’re exceptionally resourceful and efficient under this influence. It’s a strong time for gravitating towards people and situations that help us succeed or advance our goals. Shared goals and interests connect us with others. The focus now is on eliminating harmful elements in our lives, particularly in the pursuit of work or health goals, so we can advance with more conviction. This transit encourages cooperation, focus, and practical ability. The Moon spends the day in Leo, and we are honorable, creative, and loving.

Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 15

The Moon continues its transit of Leo until 2:37 PM EDT when it enters Virgo. The Leo Moon is devoted, affectionate, and generous. We might seek out channels for expressing personal emotional drama or creative potential. With the Virgo Moon, we’re inclined to pull up our sleeves and get down to work. We crave organization and want to get things accomplished. This Moon transit encourages our desire to excel at our work, pay particular attention to health, and help others.

Venus forms a square to Uranus late morning, presenting a potential challenge or struggle. Values and tastes may clash, and social activities may suffer as a result. Impulsive attractions to both people and material goods can lead us astray. Some instability, restlessness, and rebelliousness are possible in our relationships. It may be best to hold off on decision-making regarding finances, as there is a tendency to act on a whim rather than reason. We may only need a change of pace.

The void Moon occurs from 11:09 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mars), until the Moon enters Virgo at 2:37 PM EDT.

Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 16

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Virgo, and we crave a sense of order and organization. The Moon is Balsamic with a New Moon occurring tomorrow in the sign. It’s best not to begin a new project, relationship, or other important initiative during the Balsamic phase of the Moon, as it is a time of endings and symbolic descent into unconsciousness. Reflection is favored over innovation now. 

Mercury is moving toward a square to Jupiter, suggesting potentially impatient speech and decision-making. We can very well waste our time on inconsequential matters, but this can also be a good time to stretch our minds to entertain bigger possibilities. There is a tendency to overstate, say too much, exaggerate, or latch onto wild ideas. We may be somewhat blind to immediate realities. 

Thursday, SEPTEMBER 17

Mercury forms a square to Jupiter this morning, and we can feel rushed to make a decision when it’s better to wait. Our ideas are grand, but we may jump to conclusions or speak on a matter too soon.

At 7:00 AM EDT today, 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.

The New Moon in Virgo is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Virgin, such as building our powers of healthy, constructive discrimination, beginning a new project that requires attention to details, starting a health regime, 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.

Striving for perfection can be a wonderful challenge, as long as we don’t allow ourselves to become overly focused on flaws and feel guilty or stressed about them.

The Moon continues its transit of Virgo until 2:56 PM EDT when it enters relationship-focused, gracious Libra.

The Sun forms a trine to Saturn this afternoon, helping to stabilize and ground us, while also boosting self-discipline and moderation. We can enjoy a real sense of strength and pride in our ability to meet our responsibilities. We are more aware of our limitations–and willing to accept them. Enjoyment of our duties, work, or obligations can be in focus now. While this is a practical influence, it’s not the time to make big decisions since a New Moon occurs today, and we’re symbolically in the dark.

The void Moon occurs from 7:42 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Saturn), until the Moon enters Libra at 2:56 PM EDT.

Friday, SEPTEMBER 18

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Libra, aligning with Mercury in Libra tonight. With the Moon in Libra, coming to a sense of balance and harmony is important to us. The Moon-Mercury conjunction helps us find common ground and open up the lines of communication.

However, Mercury and Neptune form a quincunx, which can diffuse our concentration or focus. We may be wavering due to uncertainty as it can be challenging to combine logic and intuition cohesively. Or, the tendency to daydream comes at the expense of productivity and clear communication. There can be some mental disorganization to manage.
