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.
