Monday, SEPTEMBER 23

The Sun enters Libra today and will transit the sign until October 23rd. In the month ahead, we focus on balancing our personal environments and relationships. It’s a time for considering alternatives as well as others’ needs, agendas, and desires. Meeting others halfway, compromise, and negotiation come under the rule of Libra. The focus is now on balance–finding balance and harmony through relationships and art. Libra is the sign of the peacemaker. However, life is not always peaceful with Libra in its attempt to restore balance. Decision-making can be more challenging while the Sun is in Libra. We weight both sides of any situation, and sometimes this process seems endless! 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 keywords for Libra. On the shadow side, when challenged, Libra can be self-serving, indecisive, passive-aggressive, or superficial.

The Moon spends today in the sign of Cancer, and we seek out familiarity, safety, and quiet. A Venus-Ceres aspect coming into play today suggests we can be feeling pleasantly attached to others. We find it more comfortable than usual to nurture and support people in our lives.

The void Moon occurs from 6:06 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mars), until the Moon enters Leo the next day, Tuesday, September 24th, at 5:20 AM EDT.
