Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 23

Mars forms a quincunx with Neptune this morning (and will create the same aspect with Uranus tomorrow, forming a yod), and we can feel a little stuck — uncertain of what we truly want and where to head — until we connect with the spiritual or emotional needs we may have been overlooking.

We could be dealing with minor changes to plans or a restless urge for change that interferes with the flow. Our efforts to satisfy our desires can sometimes miss the mark, but this gives us the opportunity to make refinements and recalibrate.

Desires are strong, but a goal or path may not yet be clear, such that we can experience much restlessness.

The Sun opposes Neptune this morning, compounding the murky feelings, but later forms a trine with Uranus (tonight). We can feel directionless or not up to facing everyday realities, and may need to take a step back for spiritual refreshment.

The tendency to put people on a pedestal or glamorize others can come to a head now, perhaps also extending 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 this morning, but prone to misperceiving people or situations. It’s best to watch for projecting our unrealized dreams or wishes onto others. With willpower low and perceptions off, there are better times for major financial undertakings or formal agreements.

As the day advances, the Sun-Uranus trine and impending Sun-Pluto trine offer us wonderful outlets for pent-up frustrations. With these transits, it’s easier to find constructive channels for self-expression.

We celebrate unique expression, new methods, and personal freedom, but we also have an eye for what’s superfluous and not worth our efforts. It’s a time when we find inspiration in unusual or different places. We can experience sudden wins or advances, and we appreciate people, situations, and things that are a little irregular, unusual, or unconventional.

It can be a time of exciting discoveries, and our willingness to take a few creative risks and experiment can be one of the strongest keys to success. We’re encouraged to embrace the new; an original approach to life is appealing and works to our benefit. Getting rid of deadweights is easier than usual.

The Moon is void from 12:03 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Scorpio the next day, Wednesday, September 24th, at 5:01 AM EDT.
