Overview 

Mercury in Virgo squares Saturn in Sagittarius on September 25th, then opposes Chiron Rx in Pisces on September 27th. The 25th-27th will be a tense time, as information/discussions trigger painful truths and hard restrictions. The ability to find solutions will be limited. The best approach to these energies is calm acceptance of the facts. 

Venus in Virgo opposes Neptune Rx in Pisces on September 29th, offering a reprieve or false hope. Neptune can erase a problem or simply distract you from what needs to be done. Mercury’s move into Libra on the same day creates mutual reception with Venus, as each planet occupies the sign the other rules. This suggests idealized promises, whitewashing or true forgiveness. A positive or negative result depends on whether you’re releasing something toxic or ignoring reality. 

September 28th brings the third and final opposition between Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries. An ending may be surprising, as Jupiter expands Uranus Rx’s shocks. Results can be unexpectedly good or incredibly disruptive. Despite the surprise, know that this has been brewing since December 26th, 2016 (the date of the first opposition). 

Pluto stations direct in Capricorn on September 28th, and moves to trine Mars in Virgo, exact on October 1st. Along with the Jupiter/Uranus opposition, this suggests potent progress. Actions (Mars) will be hooked into the unstoppable evolutionary tide. Intensified purpose and perfect timing will combine for visible, effective results. And, Pluto/Mars encourages you to take action as a way of dealing with Mercury’s unpleasant aspects, earlier in the week. 

Aries

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of routine suggest an unpleasant reminder about what you haven’t completed or where you’ve failed. Work and service to others could be touchy areas, as you’re pushed to correct or provide proof, while grappling with hidden insecurities. Too, news about health/diet may not be what you wanted to hear. 

Venus’ opposition to Neptune Rx can make it tempting to let obligations slide, or slack off on a health regime. Consider what you’re avoiding – it’s not going away.  Mercury into your partnership sector on the same day can open up a discussion – the balanced give and take of information, active listening and (if there’s an ending) the agreed-upon division of resources may be themes. But Venus/Neptune suggests some avoidance of the facts. Don’t allow unpleasant details to slide. 

Jupiter in your partnership sector opposite Uranus Rx in your sign can trigger a dramatic relationship turning point. Watch for a sudden rush of freedom, or a rapid advancement to the next level (if you’re both on the same page).

Pluto direct in your career sector (and the trine to Mars) signals the next stage of transformation and empowerment, regarding your approach to success. Authentic goals will be supported by your daily routines and approach to work tasks. A small solution or seemingly inconsequential action can have a major impact. Watch for a renewed surge of energy and ambition. 

Taurus

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression can confront you with limits in the following areas – a new attraction, creative work, celebrations or pregnancy/children. You may find that there’s more work to be done, that others aren’t as receptive as you’d hoped, or that you don’t have enough money at the moment. 

Venus’ opposition to Neptune Rx can get your hopes up, or offer a way forward. Just make sure that you’re not projecting your wishes over reality. Mercury into your sector of routine on the same day turns your attention to the mundane details of work and health, as well as what needs to be done to accomplish your goals. But Venus/Neptune can distract you from necessary routines. Or,  you may end up giving more of your time/help than the situation warrants. 

Jupiter in your sector of routine opposite Uranus Rx suggests a last-minute solution, unexpected loophole or ingenious workaround to a work or health issue. Too, extra responsibilities can suddenly be taken away or added. This will be the result of background changes that have been simmering for some time. 

Pluto direct in your sector of opportunities (and the trine to Mars) can help you move forward with plans to travel, relocate, expand your education, get published or deal with legal matters. Your initiative to achieve a desired personal goal will be supported, and can help you get past the previous limits presented by Mercury. Focused effort and long-range vision is key. 

Gemini

Aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector suggest difficult conversations with a domestic partner/family member. Or, you may be dealing with necessary but unpleasant information about relocating, a home business or career matters. There may be a difficult choice between professional versus domestic goals. 

Venus’ opposition to Neptune Rx can provide some pleasant distractions for the above. Mercury’s move into your sector of self-expression on the same day suggests these distractions will involve a celebration, spending money on home/family or moments of indulgent withdrawal. Try to maintain a balance between immediate necessities versus escaping into something more enjoyable. Career matters can receive a creative infusion at this point, and you may be inspired. Just make sure this inspiration works in the real world. 

Jupiter in your sector of self-expression opposite Uranus Rx can bring a delightful surprise/reward involving a new attraction, creative work or children/pregnancy. You may get what you wished for, but it may be far more than you anticipated. Too, these energies can abruptly push you off the wagon, triggering a break from restraint or sobriety. The urge to do what you want will be strong, but you always have a choice. 

Pluto direct in your sector of shared resources (and the trine to Mars) continues the slow, relentless transformation involving shared finances, intimacy or psychological issues. Delays/blocks in these areas can lift. Watch for a subtle but sure progression away from old habits, and the continued purging of buried issues.

Cancer

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector can trigger an unpleasant conversation about health, work routines or obligations. You may feel restricted in what you can say. Or, perhaps there are doubts that you have the knowledge. Going public with your words can be challenging until you deal with immediate restrictions. These energies demand that you have all your facts lined up, and that your ideas are precise. 

Venus’ opposition to Neptune Rx can undermine the above precision with wishful thinking or tempting promises. Mercury’s move into your domestic sector on the same day suggests this may involve home/family issues, or discussions with siblings. Keep an open mind, but maintain focus on what needs to be addressed. In some cases, Venus/Neptune can open up a new, creative possibility, but it will have to be vetted carefully. 

Jupiter in your domestic sector opposite Uranus Rx suggests an unexpected relocation, career shift or bright idea for a home business. All domestic or career matters can take a surprising left turn – this may be a favourable result, or it may be more disruption than you’re comfortable with.

Pluto direct in your partnership sector (and the trine to Mars) continues the move towards the future, as a relationship (or your role in a relationship) is steadily redefined. If Pluto Rx offered a temporary cessation of changes, or a concentration in one area, Pluto direct will get things rolling again.

Transformative discussions, powerful statements or signing official documents are favoured. 

Leo

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources can pinpoint a financial shortfall, or area of insecurity. Financial discussions can emphasize what you’re not getting, or what you’re lacking. Expressing your needs will be important, but be prepared to encounter unfavourable reactions. However, this can be a valuable time that forces you to clarify exactly what you need, and figure out a way to provide that for yourself. 

Venus’ opposition to Neptune Rx can urge you to give up or spend what you don’t have, just when you need to become more self-sufficient. Too, you may discover that what you thought you desperately needed isn’t that important after all.

But this influence is not great for precise facts or clear truths.

These transformations will be driven by your pursuit of more money, increased security and a better life. 

Virgo

Aspects to Mercury in your sign suggest discussions about family, relocation, a home business or domestic partnership can be taxing. You’ll be strongly aware of what’s not working, or what makes you anxious. A fix may not be available, and yet, you’ll have to do the best you can with the information you have. Focus on what you can control, and don’t take on guilt for things you can’t fix (not everything is your responsibility).

Events have been leading up to this over the past few months, and a bit of caution can help you maintain what you’ve gained (or lessen the impact of a loss).

But once Mercury enters your sign, all that’s concealed should come out into the open. Now could be the time to speak out. However, Venus’ opposition to Neptune Rx on the same day suggests background wants, or a hidden attraction, could undermine your clarity. Before you speak or decide that you have the answer, make sure there’s not something (or someone) in your blindspot – what’s unacknowledged can still trip you up. An objective approach to the facts is your best bet.

Sometimes a carefully timed silence can be just as effective as carefully crafted words.
