Mars in Virgo trine Juno in Capricorn: …

September 12th sees Venus in Leo trine Saturn in Sagittarius, and September 13th sees the Virgo Sun square Saturn. The trine suggests that rules and structure are applied harmoniously, helping you manifest something that you want. The square will create friction, as you’re challenged by errors, limits or the recognition that something is not good enough.
These two aspects will work together, indicating that Saturn’s frustrations can ultimately assist you. Even as you deal with the challenge, keep focusing on what’s running smoothly, and keep your eye on the prize. The September 14th conjunction between Venus and the Sun-ruled Leo North Node says that the frustrations of the Sun/Saturn square are actually part of your hopeful path forward. You’re building something that you’re proud of, and there’s a door ahead of you that leads to the next level. The key to that door consists of your patience and ability to deal with Sun/Saturn frustrations.
The September 16th Mars/Mercury conjunction in Virgo unites words with actions or anger. This can play out as arguments over little things, or targeted improvements driven by precise efforts. To get the most out of this aspect, try to avoid verbal attacks over picky details. Instead, focus on doing (Mars) what you know (Mercury) is right (Virgo).
Aspects to Saturn in your sector of opportunities can create restrictions around health and work, with extra responsibilities and enforced rules. Legal issues, or travel /education plans may demand more than you think you can give. However, this is a chance for you to confirm a talent, creation or personal goal. Your work can pay off, proving to others that you’ve got what it takes. Venus and the North Node can open the next door in your journey, as your efforts unlock a reward or public recognition.
Mars/Mercury in your sector of routine suggest ambitious solutions or pushy demands for results. You won’t be getting less busy anytime soon, so you might as pour all your effort into what needs to be done. Walk your talk for effective, immediate results.
Aspects to Saturn in your sector of shared resources can frustrate your goals around a personal goal, new attraction, creative work, area of self-expression or children/pregnancy. What you want to develop may be constrained by financial limits or another person’s boundaries. But something closer to home can progress nicely – a home business, family issue, relocation or home renovation can be confirmed (assuming you’ve been smart about your money). Venus and the North Node indicate that something even better is about to open up, and it will depend on the discipline you apply to the personal goal that’s frustrating you.
Mars/Mercury in your sector of self-expression gives you extra confidence and determination to go after what you want. Rather than asking, you can assertively lay out the reasons why this should happen. Then make sure you act on those reasons – no empty promises. Excellent for manifesting a creative work.
Aspects to Saturn in your partnership sector suggest tension in a domestic partnership, as goals/commitments crank up the pressure. There may be disagreements about family issues, a relocation or home improvements. The solution is to keep talking with each other – there is more than enough positive energy to arrive at a workable compromise. And, an idea involving money, the relationship’s future, or a creative work can be solidified. Venus and the North Node indicate that it’s just one, short step towards manifesting what you want – don’t be dissuaded by temporary frustrations.
Mars/Mercury in your domestic sector add motivation to all home/family issues. A discussion about the past, division of responsibilities or home documents/improvements can proceed with precise gusto, as you’re fired up to get it done right.
Aspects to Saturn in your sector of routine suggest work/health responsibilities, or extra obligations, may be frustrating as you attempt to sort through the details. You could receive some unhappy news, or find that your solutions are limited. If you start to feel overwhelmed by the weight of what’s happening, know that focus and dedication will help you nail down a financial or emotional opportunity. It could be a case of more work equals more money. Or, your dedication to what needs to be done will ultimately boost your self-esteem and security. Venus and the North Node indicate that you’re on the verge of opening up a wealthier, more secure future, as you concentrate on what matters most. Prioritizing is key.
Mars/Mercury in your communication sector help you deliver the message with force and precision. If you’ve got something to say/write, this is your time. With the correct facts backing you up, you can make a significant impact as you assert yourself or push for the truth.
Aspects to Saturn in your sector of self-expression can present reminders of a financial shortfall or area of insecurity. Extra work is needed to manifest a creative goal, new romance or issue involving children/pregnancy. However, the trine to Venus in your sign, and the Venus/North Node conjunction, say that you’ve got this covered. As you deal with what you don’t have, or don’t have enough of, keep focusing on what you really want. You can make this happen, but it will take more time and effort.
Mars/Mercury in your sector of personal resources can provide solutions to money or security frustrations. Ideas about earning more, or expressing your self-worth, can be put into action. But the key is “action.” You’ll have to hustle to make more or prove yourself. Words are not enough.
The square from Saturn in your domestic sector to the Sun in your sign suggests that home/family responsibilities will weigh heavily. There’s much to do, and the pressure increases with your desire to do it just right. Or, you may feel blocked from expressing yourself due to family traditions. But the trine to Venus in your hidden sector, and the Venus/North Node conjunction, say that something positive is coming into being, behind the scenes. Your continued diligence can manifest a secret desire or ultimate goal. This could involve a home business or lifestyle change. Don’t give up on your dream – you’re closer than you think.
Mars/Mercury in your sign can help with the above, giving you the courage to come out and say it. You know exactly what needs to be done, and not only are you prepared to do it, you’ve got the facts. Excellent for promoting yourself, taking a stand or laying a verbal smackdown at exactly the right time.
Aspects to Saturn in your communication sector suggest hidden/background issues could make you aware of limits around an idea, conversation or your ability to gather information. Learning/studying could be areas of pressure, as you deal with an issue you’ve been avoiding. However, your focused efforts are gradually solidifying a public contact, friendship or public launch. Despite what’s going on behind the scenes, there’s steady progress on the outside. Venus and the North Node urge you to keep your eyes open for a turning-point encounter with someone significant, or an opportunity to make a positive impact on others with your talents/social skills.
Mars/Mercury in your hidden sector can see you addressing that behind-the-scenes issue. A secret or piece of intuitive knowledge may be energized. Too, your private actions can align beautifully with your thoughts, helping you manifest something special. However, there is also a risk of jumping to conclusions about something that you suspect, but don’t have all the facts about. This aspect is better for internal work rather than external confrontations.
Aspects to Saturn in your sector of personal resources can hi-light difficulties with friends, groups or your public image. A lack of something essential (money, security) can be exacerbated by a public encounter. You may feel restricted or judged. However, rest assured that your work and perseverance are paying off when it comes to your career and professional image. Your focus on getting ahead and building a secure foundation can net you a lucrative job or make a positive impression on management. Venus and the North Node say that you’re “this” close to a new opportunity. You could take your business to the next level, or open up a new area of recognition for your work.
Mars/Mercury in your social sector can trigger arguments or verbal attacks on social media. This energy is good for making an impact with your words (public speaking, a public launch, revealing the truth) but you’ll have to use caution if you don’t want to stir up aggressive reactions. Then again, maybe you want to stir the pot.
Aspects to Saturn in your sign suggest tensions with someone in authority, or extra pressure as you grapple with a future goal, lack of success or delays on the job. However, know that your strength and focus are simultaneously enabling a growing opportunity in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. The effort that you’re putting into your career can pay off in a new area that you’re expanding into, especially once Venus unites with the North Node. The overall theme is focus on the future, as you handle the rules needed to secure a future dream.
Mars/Mercury in your career sector indicates confrontational discussions, or a targeted surge of energy as your words and actions align for a job search or business launch. Your strategies and observations will be razor sharp, enabling you to pinpoint, and the take action on, what needs to be improved. Great for getting things done, but this aspect can stir up arguments with someone in management.
Aspects to Saturn in your hidden sector can indicate delays or limits on expansion in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. You have a vision of how far you want to go, or the audience you want to reach, but you’ll have to deal with hidden rules or unacknowledged limits (self-sabotage). However, you can make progress on a deeper level, as shared finances or an intimacy issue solidifies with your growing confidence (and a growing understanding between you and your partner). Venus and the North Node suggest a step towards greater intimacy, or greater financial security/responsibility.
Mars/Mercury in your sector of opportunities can energize a travel, educational, legal or publishing matter. Previous limits can be compensated for, as you apply assertive ideas, targeted words or logical arguments. Your passion (or anger) about something you believe in can fuel your words.
Aspects to Saturn in your social sector can stir up hidden fears, involving loss of control or endings. There may be efforts to put structure on something that is beyond your control, or where someone else calls the shots (intimacy or finances). However, watch for support and reassurance from a close friend or partner – as you wade deeper into uncomfortable waters, you’ll discover who’s got your back. As certain situations bring about profound transformations, some friendships may falter, but a select few will be strengthened. Venus and the North Node can point the way forward for a new or existing partnership. There could be a significant meeting, or a shift in understanding as you see who you’re proud to have at your side.
Mars/Mercury in your shared resources sector give you the courage to ask the tough questions, hear the tough answers, and dig for information. Challenging information can spur you on to uncover internal resources. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, intimacy or illness may be areas where you feel this.
Aspects to Saturn in your career sector can trigger partnership tensions, as future or professional goals conflict with an existing understanding. Someone close to you may have a different idea about what the future holds, or what success means. However, your continued focus on obligations, routines and doing what needs to be done will benefit you. There may be recognition for your efforts from someone in authority, or progress with a partner regarding mutual duties (despite tensions in other areas). Imbalances in relationships can also be addressed, if you maintain your boundaries and professional standards. Venus and the North Node suggest a breakthrough regarding a solution to a problem, health issue or work routine. Taking pride in your work can become obvious and easier.
Mars/Mercury in your partnership sector can stir up challenging discussions, but it’s time to get those facts on the table. Arguments can feel nitpicky, but if you focus on the essentials, a mutual solution can be quickly uncovered. Too, you could be confronted by a partner’s specific gripes about what you’re doing wrong.

I’ll be on vacation from September 10th to September 24th. Posts and horoscopes have been written and will be automatically published. If you purchase a consult, your reading will be booked in the order it was received. I may confirm your order and book you in while I’m away, but if I don’t, rest assured I’ll get back to you on September 25th.
If you order a copy of my Saturn/Pluto PDF and you don’t receive the email download (this happens occasionally) let me know and I’ll try to send it to you while I’m away. If not, I’ll email you the copy on September 25th.
I will reply to all other emails and check blog comments on September 25th, but not while I’m away.
Mars in Pisces seeks transcendence, while Moon in Scorpio needs to merge. Combine the two and you have a truly intimate relationship.

Mars’ Virgo ingress takes place on September 5th at 5:34 AM EDT.
Actions can be productive or obsessive, depending on how the intense perfectionism is handled. Mars in Virgo can help you get organized and initiate solutions – you’re no longer just talking about making it better, you’re actually doing something. But if you get stuck in crisis mode (it’s all wrong, it’s too much, I’ll never be ready) this can be a panicky, unproductive time.
This is not your typical hot -tempered transit – Virgo is the “service sign.” But Mars in Virgo can trigger anger if a situation does not meet certain standards. Those standards can be sensible or irrational – as with all signs, Virgo’s energy runs the gamut. The healthy manifestation would look like a clean, empowering upgrade. Anger/frustration at falling short can fuel tremendous work (on yourself or an external goal). What’s wasteful or below par is ruthlessly cut out. This is how things get done, and done correctly. The unhealthy manifestation would involve sadistic insistence on an impossible-to-achieve standard. You end up punishing yourself or someone else, because of a microscopic flaw.
Virgo is about what’s missing and what’s not good enough. In this context, Mars is driven to find the elusive prize – just one more adjustment and you’ll find X or make it perfect. In all Mars matters (sex, action, initiation) this means technique over raw impulse. Every move is refined, and has a specific purpose. But it can also mean a fruitless pursuit of something better, when what you have is just fine.
Also on September 5th, Mercury (ruler of Virgo) stations direct at 28 degrees Leo, which is the same degree as the August 21st New Moon eclipse. There’s forward movement, as Mars carries an event from that eclipse into new territory. Now that you have all the facts, you can take targeted action. There’s nothing random about this – you must have a specific plan. The Virgo Sun opposes Neptune Rx in Pisces, which refers to the September 6th Full Moon. Even as you’re gearing up to do it right, something that’s beyond your control is flowing forward – an expansion or ending. Don’t worry about what you can’t control. Focus on what’s in front of you.
Here are the aspects Mars in Virgo will make:

September 5th sees Mars’ Virgo ingress and Mercury direct in Leo. Mars into a Mercury-ruled sign, on the same day as Mercury direct, emphasizes the theme of precise, informed actions based on a confirmation. Mercury will be at the same degree as the August 21st New Moon eclipse in Leo. Something from that date could finally progress. On September 9th, Mercury enters Virgo and strengthens the energy of analysis, problem-solving and critical communication. If you want to make it happen, Virgo is your key – do the work and get it right.
The September 6th Full Moon in Pisces conjoins Neptune and makes an inconjunct to Venus in Leo. What comes or goes will move naturally and will be unstoppable. You cannot control Neptune – the current flows as it’s meant to. Results could be expansive or disappointing, but either way, the tricky connection to Venus suggests a misalignment with certain desires.
Mars into your sector of routine, and Mercury direct in your sector of self-expression, gets you primed for a big splash, dating back to the August 21st New Moon eclipse. A new romance, creative work, celebration, hobby or issue involving children/pregnancy can finally move forward with practical, step-by-step actions. Now you know exactly what to do and how to do it. If events did not turn out as you’d hoped, you should already have a new iron in the fire. Mercury into your sector of routine adds more information and solutions for you to work with. It’s time to get down to business and make it happen.
The Full Moon in your hidden sector suggests the culmination/illumination of a dream or ultimate goal. Here’s something you’ve been working towards and hoping for – it will either manifest, or dissolve and reveal the truth behind the curtains. Idealistic romantic longings (whether you’re dealing with an actual romance or not) can result in some disappointment, but that doesn’t mean the dream itself is invalid. You may have to adjust your exalted desires, and let go of what’s not realistic. What’s left is yours.
Mars into your sector of self-expression, and Mercury direct in your domestic sector, add fuel to creative work, a celebration, desire for freedom or issues involving children/pregnancy. What began during the August 21st New Moon eclipse can gain serious momentum -watch for a conclusive family discussion that says “Let’s do it.” Mercury into your sector of self-expression gives you the ideas to go along with your initiative – discussions will be a powerful mix of practical and romantic/creative.
The Full Moon in your social sector illuminates a public ideal or idealized friendship. What seemed like a good idea or wonderful cause may not quite turn out the way you wanted – someone may disappoint you, as they reveal their true nature. But did they promise you all that, or were you projecting your hopes? The truth that’s revealed may not be so bad. A public launch may fall short, or could be a misguided on a social level. But there’s still plenty of room to display your talents.
Mars into your domestic sector, and Mercury direct in your communication sector, signal progress with a family/sibling issue, a home business or relocation. This will date back to the August 21st New Moon eclipse. The required information or agreement is finally in place, and you’re ready to take grounded action. Home improvements are also favoured. Mercury into your domestic sector helps you apply the above information in exactly the right place. Domestic documents, plans with a domestic partner or family discussions are emphasized.
The Full Moon in your career sector can expose an ideal, dream job or issue with someone in authority. Whether the ideal is met or undermined will depend on how connected to reality you’ve been. It’s also possible that deception or unprofessional behaviour is revealed. Even if the results are positive, certain attractive assurances may not come through. There could be an unspoken promise that simply isn’t met, regarding the details of a job, discussion with management or your professional image.
Mars into your communication sector, and Mercury direct in your sector of personal resources, help you nail down a financial or self-esteem issue that’s been in the works since the August 21st New Moon eclipse. The lucrative opportunity, ambition for more or new source of income can now manifest with your assertive words and focused communication. You know what you want – it’s time to make those thoughts a reality. Mercury’s move into your communication sector supports financial agreements/discussions, detailed paperwork, precise communication and targeted business research.
The Full Moon in your opportunities sector can open up something more in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Expansion into a whole new area is possible. Or, there could be an official result/graduation that signals the manifestation of your greatest ideal. However, there is also a risk of overspending or placing all your hopes into this one outcome. What’s happening is positive, but it won’t bring you unending happiness. Ground your perspective and watch your money (especiallyif legal issues are involved).
Mars into your sector of personal resources, and Mercury direct in your sign, get you motivated regarding money and baseline security needs. The August 21st New Moon eclipse in your sign may have triggered a desire or opportunity – now you can take action and make it happen. Earned money, salary discussions, new sources of income and doing what’s best for you are all favoured. Mercury’s move into your sector of personal resources can see you signing financial documents or itemizing your essential requirements, on a personal or professional level.
The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources can open up deeper intimacy between you and someone special. It can also open up buried issues around money, or memories from the past. The urge to give/sacrifice everything may be strong, but the inconjunct to Venus in your sign is a warning to maintain some boundaries. Giving more will notresult in supreme happiness, and someone else may not have the same idea about intimacy as you do. There is also a risk of overspending. When in doubt, consider that this is not just about your wants, and efforts that are focused solely on what you desire can actually undermine or dissolve it.
Mars into your sign, and Mercury direct in your hidden sector, say it’s go time for a project, relationship or lifestyle change. What began around the August 21st New Moon eclipse is now ripe for action. A background potential can go public, and you’ll have increased confidence and motivation. Mercury’s move into your sign will add crucial information and strategies. There’s nothing holding you back.
The Full Moon in your partnership sector can hi-light a relationship ideal, area of sacrifice or unconditional love. A union may dissolve. Or, it could reach new heights, with increased forgiveness and shared empathy. However, even if things move in a positive direction, there may be some disappointments as an unspoken desire proves to be unrealistic. The way to counteract this is to be honest about what you want. You may not get it, but at least everything will be out on the table. In some cases, this Moon could illuminate the illusion behind a secret attraction.
Mars into your hidden sector, and Mercury direct in your social sector, can convince you to pull back or hide your intentions, due to some public clarification (regarding friends, groups or your public image). What began during the August 21st New Moon eclipse will now be confirmed, along with your sense that there’s more going on behind the scenes. Mercury’s move into your hidden sector can strengthen your intuition and investigative abilities. Now is not the time to act openly, but it is the time to dig deeper.
The Full Moon in your sector of routine can hi-light a work or health issue that doesn’t quite achieve what you’d hoped for. Promises of assistance may fall through, or you may discover that your efforts are not being recognized. Someone else may take credit for your work. On the plus side, this energy could dissolve a worry, area of stress or excessive responsibilities – you may not have to take on everything, after all.
Mars into your social sector, and Mercury direct in your career sector, can activate your ambitions or a business launch. Potentials that first came to light during the August 21st New Moon eclipse can manifest, as you move forward and reach out to others. You could also see results from a job search or bid for a contract. Mercury’s move into your social sector boosts your networking and strategic conversations.
The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression suggests a culmination connected to performance, creative work, a new attraction or children/pregnancy. The longed-for result could manifest, or the misguided projection could be revealed as nothing more than a beautiful illusion. Positive or negative outcomes depend on your existing relationship with the public, or your grasp of reality in a personal situation. Either way, there will be a disconnect between personal ambitions, and these results. If you were hoping for fame, glory or increased status/money, there will be some disappointment. This was never just about making you look good (although that could be a side benefit).
Mars into your career sector, and Mercury direct in your sector of opportunities can encourage you to push forward with a travel, education, legal or publishing idea. Watch for progress in all professional matters, including dealing with management. The August 21st New Moon eclipse would have introduced you to this potential, and now you’re applying it to your professional future. Mercury’s move into your career sector can present you with effective strategies for dealing with someone in authority, making your case or fine-tuning your business efforts.
The Full Moon in your domestic sector can illuminate an issue with family/from childhood, or a current matter involving a domestic partnership, home business or issues with the structure of your home. Dissolving or weakening may be themes, perhaps due to illness or flaws in the physical foundation of your home. Too, there could be chance to expand on something hopeful for the future, but first you’ll have to release something from the past. There’s a promise of growth/something to look forward to, but certain aspects of this promise will not live up to reality. You may have overestimated how far you can go. If you’re disappointed with the results, try focusing on healing issues in the present, or dealing with any weaknesses in your foundation.
Mars into your sector of opportunities, and Mercury direct in your sector of shared resources, encourages you to expand/explore in the areas of long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Your efforts in new areas will be fuelled by a deeper understanding of financial or hidden issues. As Mercury enters your opportunities sector, you can apply what you learned or researched to the bigger picture. These events will refer back to the August 21st New Moon eclipse.
The Full Moon in your communication sector presents an answer, decision or promise with seemingly endless potential. Or, what you learn may end up being anti-climactic, as the Big Event fizzles into nothing. Either way, misaligned financial or emotional wants will contribute to disappointment or overinflated expectations. A truth may be revealed, and the reality may be far different from what was presented. On the plus side, results could indicate a creative launch/publication, a shot of inspiration or healing conversation.
Mars into your sector of shared resources, and Mercury direct in your partnership sector, suggest that a relationship discussion or confirmation of information can take matters a step deeper. Intimacy, shared finances or buried issues may be activated. Look back to the August 21st New Moon eclipse to see when this first developed. As Mercury enters your sector of shared resources, the conversation will continue and intensify, as you confront deeper truths.
The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources can present results involving earned money, self-esteem or personal security. There may be a release, dissolution or opening up of greater potential. Whether there’s a loss or gain, accept the results for what they are – you can’t cling to what’s fading, and you can’t force specific results. What’s yours will flow into your life. Even with a gain, there may be moments of disappointment, as someone’s response doesn’t match what you were hoping for. A relationship could reveal what’s missing, or what was never there. However, it’s important to take stock of what’s emerging – it may not be what you had in mind, but it could still be quite good.
Mars into your partnership sector, and Mercury direct in your sector of routine, can accelerate a relationship. Confirmation about a work, health or routine issue could be the trigger for a next step (together or apart). Balanced give and take (being recognized for your help) may be a theme. These issues will refer back to the August 21st New Moon eclipse. Mercury’s move into your partnership sector can open up practical lines of communication.
The Full Moon in your sign can raise your anxiety about what’s missing or not good enough. What you were hoping for from another (esecpailly practical help or solutions) may not come through. Or, what you get may be confusing. Try to suspend expectationsand remain open to whatever happens. This Moon can emphasize a loss, feeling of disillusionment or new freedom, as you realize that certain things are beyond your control.
