Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 22

Mercury forms a square to Pluto this morning, and we can experience mental tension or tense communications. We can become obsessed with getting our message across and determined that others agree with our ideas. This aspect may play to our insecurities and fears that we’re not getting all the information we need. Mental anxiety or troubles could manifest now.

As such, we should avoid attempts to force our opinions on others and strive to maintain an open mind. Compulsive thinking is possible, but with self-awareness and mindfulness, we might engage in in-depth, penetrating communication or think more deeply about a matter.

The Sun moves into the sign of Libra today, where it will transit until October 23rd. In the month ahead, we 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 nor rub people the wrong way. Tactfulness, style, tolerance, and sociability are some of the themes. On the shadow side, Libra can be indecisive, passive-aggressive, or superficial when challenged.

As the day advances, we head toward a Venus-Uranus transit, and unexpected events or feelings may take us off guard. The Moon spends the day in the sign of straightforward, impulsive Aries.

The void Moon occurs from 10:05 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Mercury), until the Moon enters Taurus the next day, Thursday, September 23rd, at 8:39 AM EDT.
