Overview

Full Moon

The September 24th Aries Full Moon conjoins Chiron Rx and squares Saturn/Vesta. Painful issues and restrictions will be part of this culmination, and the Libra Sun’s conjunction to Mercury suggests unbalanced conversations or enforced politeness.

However, the Sun/Mercury trine the Aquarius South Node with Mars and Black Moon Lilith. The Moon and Chiron trine the Leo North Node. So there’s energy and passion pushing you in the right direction (forward). Yes, you’ll encounter difficulties. But you’ll also be motivated to move on, stand up, stand out or fight for what’s special. Saturn’s limits may be the discipline you need to tackle that issue.

Mars’ third and final conjunction to the South Node on September 26th concludes an ongoing battle to step away from the past or activate a karmic resolution. Mars previously conjoined the South Node on June 8th and July 20th (when he was Rx).

The Full Moon’s influence will extend forward with the Libra’s Sun’s square to Saturn (September 25th) and trine to Mars and the South Node (September 27th).

Chiron Returns to Pisces
On September 25th Chiron Rx backs out of Aries into Pisces. On the day after the Full Moon, Chiron’s return suggests the illumination of that painful issue will force a second look at an old wound. There may be a retreat, but this can also be about recuperation, healing and a final release.

Pluto Direct

As Chiron steps back, Pluto steps forward. September 30th sees Pluto stationing direct in Capricorn. Pluto’s relentless excavation, destruction of old foundations and reveal of new authority/power continues. Change marches on and nothing remains stagnant.

Aries

The Full Moon in your sign can hi-light a vulnerability involving professional responsibility/limits or pressure to achieve. A turning point around your future goals or career will also involve a revealing and uncomfortable partnership conversation. This could be a cards-on-the-table moment where someone else clarifies what you didn’t want to discuss. A partnership commitment (professional or romantic) will be binding.

Pluto direct in your career sector signals the next chapter in the overhaul of your career, professional image and future goals – this Moon’s culmination will be connected to this next chapter.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith indicate that this result will fire up your independence and individuality. You’ll see how you can stand out and where you may have to step away from the crowd. You may feel exposed and uneasy but also energized as you wrap up a difficult social issue. There’s still room for you to do things your way, even as you’re limited by certain rules. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node in your social sector can indicate a goodbye (to a friend or group) or final push to initiate a social activity or connection. This will be connected to efforts or conflict from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

As Chiron retreats into your hidden sector, you can temporarily step back from the vulnerabilities exposed by this Moon. The issue will be on the back burner, giving you time to process what’s happened and gather your strength for the next round (which will occur on Feb 18th, 2019 when Chiron returns to your sign).

Taurus

The Full Moon in your hidden sector illuminates an uncomfortable secret or issue that you’ve been ignoring. A practical conversation about work or health will be defined by external limits on how far you can go in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Official rules may force you to confront what you’ve been denying. The Sun’s inconjunct to Uranus Rx in your sign suggests this will involve a sudden imbalance regarding workload or self-care – you may have to scramble to make adjustments.

Pluto direct in your sector of opportunities indicates that despite any barriers, a new path forward continues to open up. While you’ll be dealing with restrictions, the bigger picture insists that you are steadily moving into new territory.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith say that these events are also part of your efforts to balance personal and professional. A career or future goal, or your professional image, can be energized as you realize a unique talent or see where your true place actually is. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node in your career sector suggests the conclusion of a job search, efforts to promote yourself or exercise your ambition. Now you should see the results of what you’ve been striving for. This will be connected to ambitions from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiron’s return to your social sector suggests that the hidden issue revealed by the Full Moon will be dealt with in a public forum. What’s uncovered will reflect on your group connections or friendships- an awkward social issue is not quite finished, but the conclusion should happen on Feb 18th, 2019 when Chiron returns to your hidden sector.

Gemini

The Full Moon in your social sector hi-lights an uncomfortable issue with the group or a friendship. A social insecurity or embarrassment could be illuminated, along with background limits or fears on what you can publicly say. You may find that your public voice is greatly restricted.

Pluto direct in your sector of shared resources suggests that this Moon’s results will lead to a deeper shift involving shared finances, psychological issues or intimacy. Shared boundaries or responsibilities around what you owe will be the jumping-off point for the next chapter of a profound shift or ending – consider what’s being taken away.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith encourage you to think big and think differently. Despite the limits or embarrassments you encounter, there’s another avenue opening up that allows you to take an ideal, future goal or journey to the next level. You’ll be encouraged to look beyond what you know and play with some truly controversial ideas. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node in your opportunities sector indicates a breakthrough regarding travel, education, legal matters, publishing or a cause that you feel passionately about. Your efforts can finally propel you forward, and will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiron’s return to your career sector can you being confronted (one last time) with a professional vulnerability or difficult issue with management. Weakness or lack of success involving respect may be revisited, but you can say goodbye to these issues as of Feb 18th, 2019 when Chiron permanently exits your career sector.

Cancer

The Full Moon in your career sector spotlights an insecurity or sore spot regarding success, ambition or the expression of authority. A job ending, new job or turning point in your career path will be defined by partnership limits or pressure from a competitor. While someone else may have more authority in this matter, make sure that you’re not projecting all your authority outwards – it may be time for you to take responsibility.

Pluto direct in your partnership sector suggests the results from this Full Moon will involve the next level of transformation that a relationship, or your approach to relationships, is going through. A partner may be in the midst of intense change, or your identity as a partner may be permanently transformed.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith do suggest that despite any difficulties, this is your chance to wrap up an issue involving intimacy or shared finances. Trust, vulnerability and claiming your power and self-sufficiency are some of the possibilities that can come out of this. In some cases, intensified sexual dynamics may be a theme. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node in your sector of shared resources suggests the end to a power struggle or hidden but intensive push that is not entirely within your control. At this point in time you may be permanently breaking away from old sexual, psycological or financial habits. This will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiron’s return to your sector of opportunities can temporarily take the pressure off a career sore spot as you revisit issues involving travel, education, legal matters, publishing or exploration. You may be reconsidering an ideal or area where you’ve been spreading your wings – perhaps there are a few more doubts (or lessons to learn) about where you’re going before you address certain career issues. Too, Chiron’s return can present an opportunity to finally address a fear of the unknown and by Feb 18th, 2019 you can move on.

Leo

The Full Moon in your opportunities sector can pinpoint a vulnerability or fear related to travel, education, legal matters, ideals or publishing. Practical limits or heavy work/health responsibilities will define how far you can go and this may involve a formal statement or document. What you want to fight for, or where you want to explore, could be curtailed.

Pluto direct in your sector of routine ties into the above with the next stage of a major health or work transformation. Old habits and routines are being uprooted, and recent delays in these areas will now end. It may be time to accept a whole new reality.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith (including the North Node in your sign) are encouraging – this is your cue to step up, show off what you’ve got or explore a new area where your talents can shine. The limits you experience can push your focus in the right direction, and part of this will involve resolving a partnership issue. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node in your relationship sector can mark the end of a relationship conflict, your dealings with a partner from the past or a final argument/action that pushes events across a threshold. This will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiron’s return to your sector of shared resources suggests a step back into a private issue as a final opportunity to heal deeply buried wounds or address trust issues is presented. You may have to go deep one more time, but by Feb 18th, 2019 you can close the door on this for good.

Virgo

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources can trigger intense feelings of vulnerability or deeply buried wounds involving intimacy, trust or dependency. Watch for an imbalance regarding self-esteem and looking after yourself versus giving away your power to someone else. You may feel restricted by what you can’t have or what you have to struggle for – discussions about finances or personal values can feel unfair.

Pluto direct in your sector of self-expression reactivates a relentless push to create, honour yourself and take your talents/contributions seriously. If something is being taken away or insecurities are being excavated, this may not feel like a good thing, but in reality you are being urged to focus your energy on what’s most important to you. If this involves a new attraction, you’ll be learning lessons about who really values you and how much you value yourself.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith encourage you to go beyond your current reality. This will involve efforts around self-care, breaking old habits and updating your work/health routines. But the payoff will involve the manifestation of a dream or higher purpose – what you’re really meant to do but haven’t had the courage to pursue. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node in your sector of routine can present a solution, diagnosis or correction that ultimately frees you. In some cases, efforts to make it better can finally pay off. This will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiron’s return to your partnership sector will be about wrapping up old relationship wounds and vulnerabilities. You may be dealing with a partner’s pain, or your approach to healing others. In some cases, this could be about the pain or weakness that you project onto others – there’s still something that needs to be addressed here, but as of Feb 18th, 2019 you can walk away from this issue.

Libra

The Full Moon in your partnership sector can signify a painful relationship turning point. A partner’s vulnerability, or your own projected insecurities, may be hi-lighted by a conversation that encompasses domestic responsibilities or rules from your past. You may feel limited around what you can say, or pressured to say the correct/polite thing. All one-on-one interactions can be touchy during this Full Moon.

Pluto direct in your domestic sector once again accelerates the pace of transformation as structures from the past drop away. Old traditions, family history and habits will continue to be revealed and discarded, as something new emerges.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith suggest that any difficult partnership issues can actually be a doorway to something better. Here is an opportunity for you to go public or shine in a unique way, even if you’re concluding a romantic or creative issue. Others may be impressed by what makes you feel conspicuous. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node in your sector of self-expression suggests a wrap up regarding an attraction, creative work or efforts to be noticed. This time you could be successful, or move on to something better. This will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiron’s return to your sector of routine asks you to once again confront a weakness or error involving health or work. There may be something that still requires correction or healing (and this can be an excellent opportunity for both). As of Feb 18th, 2019 Chiron will exit your sector of routine for good.

Scorpio

The Full Moon in your sector of routine can illuminate a physical wound, difficult health issue or area where you feel weak, unprepared or disorganized. Difficult conversations or realizations may be involved, including a secret or repressed issue. Too, you may be focusing so much on a flaw that you fail to see what you’ve accomplished.

Pluto direct in your communication sector triggers the next stage of intellectual evolution, the reveal of buried info or your emerging courage/passion to speak about what’s most essential to you.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith suggest that, despite the restrictions and difficulties, work or routine issues can actually help you advance in your career or future plans. Part of this will involve actions that help you permanently step away from the past (especially family history) and this may involve embracing your status as an outsider in the family, or accepting the part of your self that those closest to you won’t accept. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node will be part of this – watch for a conclusion to a relocation, renovation or family dispute. This will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018. Your next step is all about the future as you focus your ambition and pride in a professional area.

Chiron’s return to your sector of self-expression can see you confronting doubts about attractiveness, talent or the freedom to be yourself, one last time. But now you can focus on healing and acceptance of self, rather than what you feel you’re lacking. As of Feb 18th, 2019 Chiron will permanently exit this sector.

Sagittarius

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression can trigger feelings of insecurity or being unwanted/unattractive. A tremendous focus on financial issues or self-esteem can hi-light something that you feel is lacking, or an area where you feel undeserving. It’s possible that you will not achieve a desired objective, or you may hear some disappointing news. Too, going public with something or putting yourself out there can hi-light your doubts, even if your efforts are successful.

Pluto direct in your sector of personal resources reactivates major changes regarding finances or security. There could be progress around a new source of income, change in income stream or new approach to basic needs.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith suggest the Full Moon issues can help you define a specific idea or answer, and carry that forward. This could be something you feel passionately about, or perhaps it’s an ongoing argument. The subject matter will probably be somewhat controversial. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node can represent the conclusion to the argument or your final push to get your point across -this could be about you finding your voice in the face of external judgement. This will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiron’s return to your domestic sector signals a wrap up of family issues and wounds from the past. As you step back to do some healing and address family history, consider this as a chance to forgive, release and move on. Chiron will exit your domestic sector on Feb 18th, 2019.

Capricorn

The Full Moon in your domestic sector illuminates a family wound or pain from the past. This could be the result of an ongoing domestic conflict or delving into family history, and the square to Saturn/Vesta in your sign suggests you’ll feel a sense of responsibility. Too, you may be calling the shots and setting the terms, especially where future/career goals are concerned. A career result could trigger some sensitive family issues.

Fortunately, Pluto direct in your sign gives you a power surge as you move forward and enter the next stage of your ongoing transformation. Pluto can gift you with renewed passion and focus, even as the past drops away.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith suggest powerful changes regarding finances and emotional resources. Issues in your personal and professional life can involve the activation of a financial ambition or your basic survival instinct. Part of this will require you to step away from old habits of mistrust or dwelling on the surface – you’re being asked to go deeper, open yourself up to someone or merge your resources for more success. Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node can signal a conclusion to financial or self-esteem issue as your efforts bring results. This will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiron’s return to your communication sector can see you revisiting a painful conversation or having an opportunity to forgive, release or say goodbye. There may be something left unsaid, and now is your chance to achieve closure. Chiron will exit your communication sector on Feb 18th, 2019.

Aquarius

The Full Moon in your communication sector can reveal a painful conversation or answer. This final decision will be defined by hidden rules/fears, which can make it more difficult to deal with if you’re not fully aware of what’s going on. This could involve travel, education, legal matters or publishing.

Pluto direct in your hidden sector will be a subtle but relentless push forward – an ending or deep transformation continues to gain momentum.

Positive aspects to the North Node in your relationship sector and South Node/Mars/Black Moon Lilith in your sign suggest that despite any touchy news that comes your way, this can still be a very empowering Moon. Results can boost your determination to permanently step away from an aspect of your past while taking pride in who you are. This can involve moving away from being the outsider/outcast and taking pride in your relationships (or choosing to have a relationship). Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node can be a significant turning point fuelled by anger, ambition or courage. This will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiron’s return to your sector of personal resources can help you come to terms with any leftover insecurities about money and self-esteem. You may be confronting a loss, or embracing a new approach to what makes you feel secure (including a new source of income). Chiron will exit your personal resources sector on Feb 18th, 2019.

Pisces

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources suggests a result involving a financial or emotional shortfall. What you don’t have enough of, or what you feel is missing, will be defined by social rules or responsibilities. A private conversation or agreement may be part of this, including some necessary but burdensome financial documents.

Pluto direct in your social sector continues the transformation of your social image, friendships or connection to the public. Certain people may leave your life, or you could find that you’re drawn to new groups/associations. A major change in your public reputation could accelerate.

Positive aspects to the Nodes, Mars and Black Moon Lilith suggest that events from this Full Moon will encourage you to ground yourself in the real world. The limits you encounter are meant to draw your attention to what needs to be manifested in a work or health context. How can you improve your daily life? Mars’ final conjunction to the South Node in your hidden sector can represent an ending, as you detach from what’s no longer realistic. Too, you could find that certain efforts finally manifest physically. This will be connected to issues from June 8th and July 20th, 2018.

Chiro’s return to your sign is an opportunity for healing, forgiveness or exploration of a unique talent/opportunity. Sometimes Chiron is about what hurts, but it can also be about what’s unique and magnetizes others. Either way, there’s a second chance or unfinished issue. Chiron will exit your sign on Feb 18th, 2019.

Horoscopes for September 16th, 2018 to September 23rd, 2018

Overview

Mars/Uranus Square

On September 18th we have the final square between Mars in Aquarius and Uranus Rx in Taurus. Previously, Mars squared Uranus on May 16th and August 1st (when Mars was Rx) so this is not new – there have been a series of tremors or surprises. This is about sudden actions or initiatives that break away from the past, and is directly tied to Uranus’ Taurus ingress (the disruption of old resources/security habits and the reveal of something new). This last square could be a breakthrough.

Sun/Mercury

September 20th brings a superior conjunction between the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. This is the “Full Moon” portion of the Sun/Mercury cycle- a conclusion or result. There should be clarity and direct facts, and these will be based on the last Sun/Mercury conjunction (August 8th, in Leo when Mercury was Rx).

Mercury enters Libra on September 21st, followed by the Sun on September 22nd. The Fall Equinox will be marked by Mercury and the Sun’s painful opposition to Chiron Rx in Aries (on September 22nd and 23rd, respectively). That moment of imbalance will trigger a painful realization/conversation. Libra is about give and take – reflections. So this may involve something unrequited, or perhaps a projected wound (their hurt reflects your vulnerability). Mercury will go on to square Saturn in Capricorn (September 23rd) which will add restrictions to what you’re trying to say. Compromise and finding common ground with someone will be very difficult, but Saturn can also indicate a very formal written commitment.

Fortunately, Mercury will also trine Mars on September 23rd, so actions will harmonize with words. There will be limits, but you can still act on what’s being said if you follow the Libra rule: harmony. Meet the other side halfway and keep it polite (the square from Saturn suggests almost painfully polite discussions).

Aries

Mars in your social sector square Uranus Rx can trigger sudden arguments or surprising public displays involving friends/groups. This square occurred previously on May 16th and August 1st, so this could be your “I’ve had enough” moment followed by you breaking away from a social setting that’s outdated. Too, the culmination of your actions over the past few months might have led to a disruption of your public image. Although this is not a new issue, public reactions can still catch you off guard.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sector of routine offers a solution or the illumination of a key fact involving work, health or your obligations to others. This will be solid information you can work with. Results will be connected to events from August 8th which involved a new attraction, creative work, your open self-expression or children/pregnancy.

Mercury and the Sun’s entrance into your partnership sector, and succeeding aspects (including the opposition to Chiron Rx in your sign) can illuminate a painful issue about the imbalance in a relationship. Your interactions may hi-light where you feel most insecure/out of place, or where one partner has more authority.

Mercury’s square to Saturn suggests that discussions may be limited by a power imbalance (especially if this is a professional relationship). Or, you may clamp down on what’s being said in an attempt to make yourself feel secure. The Mars/Mercury trine encourages you to step away from controlling habits. Detach a bit from what “must” happen and energize some alternative views. Mars/Mercury can also help you deal with the Mars/Uranus square if you cultivate one-on-one connections for support.

Taurus

Mars in your career sector square Uranus Rx in your sign suggests sudden developments around future goals, a current job, a situation with management or a home business. This square occurred previously on May 16th and August 1st, so there have been warning signs. An abrupt ending or change to the way you express authority/ambition will be part of you breaking away from an outdated lifestyle, relationship or public image.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sector of self-expression offers an answer, result or realization involving a new attraction, creative work or children/pregnancy. Now you have the indisputable facts and know exactly what’s possible. Results will be connected to a domestic/family conversation from August 8th.

Mercury and the Sun’s entrance into your sector of routine, and succeeding aspects, can hi-light a difficult work, health or service issue. An imbalance in your daily routine or how much work you’re doing for someone else will be a theme, but the discomfort may have been hidden until now.

As the facts are revealed, Mercury’s square to Saturn can sharply define what must be corrected, or where equality/compensation is not possible (for the moment). Mercury’s trine to Mars can help if you focus on moving forward and energizing future goals (despite any current limits). Actions harmonize with your practical ideas, enabling progress in certain areas even if other areas are restricted. Mercury/Mars can also help you address the Mars/Uranus square if you take a step-by-step approach to current changes – prioritize, make a list and tackle what’s immediately essential.

Gemini

Mars in your opportunities sector square Uranus Rx suggests abrupt left turns (that come out of nowhere) regarding travel, education, legal matters, ethics or publishing. Background/hidden issues can disrupt plans, push you to escape or take a risk. However, extreme caution is advised and this will refer back to events from May 16th and August 1st. Maybe this is the final corner you need to turn.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your domestic sector illuminates a result, final discussion or answer regarding a family matter, relocation, home business or issue from the past. Now you have specific details you can work with, and this will be connected to events from August 8th (a preliminary conversation or discovery).

Mercury and the Sun’s entrance into your sector of self-expression, and succeeding aspects, will hi-light an area of insecurity or pain regarding a new attraction, creative efforts or children/pregnancy. The social spotlight could reveal more than you’re comfortable with, or others could have a discouraging influence. There may be embarrassment about going public.

Mercury’s square to Saturn will define limits around what you want (in the form of discouraging news) but you’ll also know exactly what you have to work with (financial or intimacy restrictions could be issues). It’s possible that all that’s required is a bit of extra effort. Despite this, Mercury’s trine to Mars offers assistance by encouraging you to reach further and activate a future ideal. Mercury/Mars can also help you get through the Mars/Uranus square – don’t be afraid to speak up and vocalize a hope or expectation. There is potential to move forward, but the key is aligning your words with your actions.

Cancer

Mars in your sector of shared resources square Uranus Rx suggests that events beyond your control can jolt you on a financial or emotional level. Sudden developments involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy will be related to previous disruptions from May 16th and August 1st – this could be the final breakaway from a habit or unhealthy situation. Too, this could be a repeat flash of clarity that pushes you to reconstruct your life on a deep level.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your communication sector indicates a crucial answer, understanding or conversation that will be connected to events from August 8th. New information about money, personal values or security has led to this point – watch for practical details or strategies.

Mercury and the Sun’s entrance into your domestic sector, and succeeding aspects, can hi-light an area of insecurity or vulnerability regarding success, ambition, your future goals, a job or how you express your authority. Family conversations or domestic issues will involve an area where you may be struggling with success. Mercury’s square to Saturn specifically emphasizes a tough relationship discussion, as your partner’s rules/authority feel restrictive. Their goals may conflict with where you want to go. Mercury’s trine to Mars suggests a workaround involving the exploration of deeper issues (what’s really going on behind the scenes) or serious changes around intimacy or joint finances. It may be time to take uncomfortable but necessary action. Mercury/Mars can help you navigate the Mars/Uranus square if you follow up words with deeply honest (and courageous) efforts.

Leo

Mars in your partnership sector square Uranus Rx indicates relationship disruptions on a personal or professional level. A partner may take action that surprises and challenges you, but this will be related to May 16th and August 1st – it’s happened before, or you’ve had warning signs. This will be the final event.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sector of personal resources hi-lights practical facts or requests about financial or emotional security. There will be a focus on specifics, and this is the result of your initial request or understanding from August 8th. Now you can see your ideas manifest via what you need or have earned.

Mercury and the Sun’s entrance into your communication sector, and succeeding aspects, continue the conversation. But now an awkward imbalance will be exposed. Doubts or embarrassments involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing may come to light, and Mercury’s square to Saturn can indicate formal restrictions on what’s acceptable to say or write. You may also feel pressured by an excessive workload. Mercury’s trine to Mars suggests one-on-one communication can help you deal with this, as another person energizes your ideas/enthusiasm while being receptive to what you’re offering. Together, you can make an effective team. Mercury/Mars can also help you deal with the Mars/Uranus square – compromise and diplomacy are you best weapons. Say it nicely, find a common ground with the other person and indicate your willingness to match their efforts with your words.

Virgo

Mars in your sector of routine square Uranus Rx suggests a jolt regarding health or work. An accident or abrupt change to your routine is possible, as well as a sudden break from an old habit. While the change may be powerful, this is not a new issue- refer back to May 16th and August 1st for hints about what’s coming.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sign powers you up with clarity, knowledge and focused communication. An answer, decision or public statement will be the result of what first began around August 8th- a hidden or undefined issue that is now fully out in the open.

Mercury and the Sun’s move into your sector of personal resources, and succeeding aspects, can illuminate an area of insecurity involving finances or self-esteem. When you have that conversation or identify what you need, you’ll be reminded of a vulnerability involving an area where someone else has control. Mercury’s square to Saturn can define specific limits around money or self-esteem, especially involving what you need to work harder for, or what you can’t afford/aren’t entitled to. Nonetheless, Mercury’s trine to Mars encourages you to focus on what you can do (you have some power) to get what you need – work routines and health can be energized effectively. Mercury/Mars also helps you deal with the Mars/Uranus square – when confronted with disruptions, take that new energy and use it to fuel your financial and emotional needs by (politely) declaring what you want or outlining the terms of a financial agreement.

Libra

Mars in your sector of self-expression square Uranus Rx can suggest a sudden, bold move where you show the world who you really are. Or, there could be an unexpected event involving someone you’re attracted to, or an abrupt pursuit of what you want (what some risks attached). Caution is advised (especially where finances are concerned) but this will be connected to previous events from May 16th and August 1st, so it shouldn’t be a total surprise.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your hidden sector suggests an intuitive understanding, secret response or background decision. Logic may be less pronounced than what you suspect, but trust that this is the real deal. Look to August 8th (a public announcement or conversation with friends/groups) for a clue about how this began.

Mercury and the Sun’s move into your sign, and succeeding aspects, can hi-light a painful relationship issue or a partner’s weakness/vulnerability. Too, you may become aware of projected embarrassments or relationship wounds. Mercury’s square to Saturn will limit what you can openly discuss or keep you focused on domestic responsibilities (this could feel unfair or unbalanced) but Mercury’s trine to Mars will encourage you to keep pursing a desired goal and giving voice to your passion. This is a creative, energetic aspect that urges you to speak your truth. Mercury/Mars can help with the Mars/Uranus square by encouraging you to use your diplomatic skills – as you’re confronted with disruptions, use your charm and ability to see both sides of the issue.

Scorpio

Mars in your domestic sector square Uranus Rx can confront you yet again with relationship discord, a partner’s sudden change or disruptions involving relocation, home construction or a home business. Events will feel jagged and uncomfortable, but this is the last of three squares that first occurred on May 16th and August 1st – you could be turning a corner now or approaching a conclusion.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your social sector can present a public answer, understanding or conclusion. Discussions with friends can be truthful and clarifying, and will be related to an initial conversation or piece of information from August 8th (this may have involved your career, expression of authority or conversation with someone in management).

Mercury and the Sun’s move into your hidden sector, and succeeding aspects, suggests you’ll be stepping back in order to process events. One painful issue in particular (involving health, work or obligations to others) could claim all your attention while increasing your sense of vulnerability. Mercury’s square to Saturn suggests there are limits around what you can do about this, but you’ll also know exactly what you have to work with and what you can say. Mercury’s trine to Mars offers some support as family or domestic issues fuel your thoughts – words harmonize with actions for effective solutions. Yes, you can get things done in the background, and this will help with the Mars/Uranus square: private compromises, quite moments of understanding or even saying nothing and just listening (but then acting on what you’ve heard) can be very effective.

Sagittarius

Mars in your communication sector square Uranus Rx reintroduces a shocking conversation, argument or discovery that you first encountered around May 16th and August 1st. Radical changes to to health or work routines will be at the root of this, as you’re pushed to accept something new.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your career sector presents an answer or result that pinpoints exactly what needs to be improved or corrected regarding work or your professional reputation. Discussions with management can be quite valuable, and will be connected to something new that you learned around August 8th. Initial discoveries/announcements involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing would have opened the door to what you’re seeing now.

Mercury and the Sun’s move into your social sector, and succeeding aspects, will hi-light an uncomfortable or embarrassing public issue with friends or groups. Insecurities about public acceptance or your talent/appeal will be a theme, and Mercury’s square to Saturn can define a specific conversation or statement where you feel restricted. Certain rules about what you can say may have to be followed, but Mercury’s trine to Mars still encourages you to power forward with an idea that you’re passionate about. The key will be expressing yourself in a socially appropriate manner. Mercury/Mars can also help you deal with the Mars/Uranus square by giving you a public forum for pent up frustrations. Again, saying it appropriately will be important – balance your energy with your audience.

Capricorn

Mars in your sector of personal resources square Uranus Rx once again introduces unexpected jolts to finances or emotional security. Surprising expenses, or a desire to take a risk and suddenly go after what you want, may be themes. But you’ll have already encountered this on May 16th and August 1st. This could be a final opportunity to act, or jump into something. If you can, go slow and calculate risks versus benefits. If your security is being threatened, know that this is the final jolt.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your opportunities sector presents a decision, announcement or final plan regarding travel, education, legal matters or publishing. This will be connected to private conversations or deeper understandings from August 8th: behind-the-scenes reveals for that date have allowed you to look ahead and understand much more.

Mercury and the Sun’s move into your career sector, and succeeding aspects, will illuminate the tension between future goals versus domestic wounds or difficulties. As you focus on your future, you’ll be balancing this with vulnerabilities based in the past. Mercury’s square to Saturn in your sign suggests you’ll be all business as you tackle restrictive or pressured work scenarios. You may have to lay down the law, and Mercury’s trine to Mars suggests your ideas/discussions with management will blend nicely with your ambition (and can lead to a pay increase). This also looks favourable for a job interview. Mercury/Mars can help you manage the Mars/Uranus square – when confronted with risks or disruptions to your security, use your professional skills and strategic voice. You may have to play the professional game (office politics) as you politely but firmly communicate what you want.

Aquarius

Mars in your sign square Uranus Rx in your domestic sector presents the final round of changes to your identity/appearance (for now). Beginning on May 16th and August 1st, sudden changes at home/with family have made it crucial for you to seize the moment, break away from the past or completely overhaul your identity/approach to relationships. Delays or interrupted starts are now over – you can take a complete step forward.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sector of shared resources suggests information that you’ve unearthed, or a private/sensitive conversation involving shared finances or intimacy, can deliver results or an ending. This will be connected to what began around August 8th: a one-on-one discussion or observation from a partner that pushed you to look at something more deeply.

Mercury and the Sun’s move into your sector of opportunities, and succeeding aspects, suggest that reaching further/exploring in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing can push a difficult button. Insecurities or fears about being heard or speaking out may be triggered (or you could receive some painful news). Mercury’s square to Saturn suggests background rules/restrictions will limit what you say or how far you can go with what you learn. Too, there may be hidden pressure to study/learn/deliver a solid statement of intent.

But Mercury’s trine to Mars in your sign says that you’ve got this – use your initiative and ambition to keep pushing forward and discovering or speaking out about what matters to you. You can go further, even if certain limits keep you in check. Mercury/Mars can also help with Mars’ square to Uranus – a broader perceptive, seeking new info or moving ahead with faith in the future can help you balance changes at home with what lies ahead. You are moving on from the past – keep your eyes on future goals. This favours discussions about relocation, furthering your education or communicating what you feel is fair and ethical.

Pisces

Mars in your hidden sector square Uranus Rx will once again confront you with an abrupt goodbye or instinctive realization. There’s been a lead up to this: May 16th and August 1st presented you with the initial conversation or news. Now you’re dealing with the final jolt that will deliver an unavoidable flash of clarity. Secret or hidden actions may only be known to you, but they will have a profound impact.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your relationship sector presents an answer, understanding or calculated observation from someone else that can deliver results connected to August 8th. At that time, you may have become aware of a flaw or work/health issue, and now there’s a chance to correct and rebalance, via someone’s contribution.

Mercury and the Sun into your sector of shared resources, and succeeding aspects, can stir up security fears. Issues around owing or being vulernable/dependent can hi-light a power imbalance in money or an emotional connection. Mercury’s square to Saturn will clearly define what you owe, what you must pay back, and what you’re not getting from someone else. But Mercury’s trine to Mars suggests you can tune into that background potential mentioned at the start of your forecast. What’s brewing behind the scenes? There’s a private pool of energy or anger that can fuel your words, and this can also help with the Mars/Uranus square – perhaps a private conversation (with someone trusted) or even therapy/journaling can contribute to inner equilibrium. This is not the time to keep silent, but it is the time to choose your confidants carefully.

Horoscopes for September 9th, 2018 to September 16th, 2018

Overview

Mars

Mars returns to Aquarius on September 10th. Mars was last at 0 deg Aquarius on May 16th, so these two dates may be connected. Something from May can be reactivated, but now you don’t have to contend with Mars retrograde so progress should be unimpeded. What happens now will build on Mars’ Rx in Capricorn – intensified ambitions/work or delays as you struggled with rules and limits.

Mars’ return to Aquarius could feel like emergence from a cave; there may be a feeling of weight being lifted, as the action planet moves from a structured Earth sign to an Air sign that’s concerned with liberation. See the light ahead? Walk towards it – nothing will hold you back now.

Jupiter/Pluto Sextile

On September 11th, the Virgo Sun trines Pluto Rx in Capricorn and makes a sextile to Jupiter in Scorpio, and on September 12th Jupiter and Pluto make the last of three sextiles to each other.

Since January, Jupiter and Pluto have harmonized (on and off) with a gentle sextile – power (Pluto) drives expansion (Jupiter) and expansion increases power. This may have manifested as a quiet opportunity for success (dig deeper, intensify your efforts, get more) but the sextile is so quiet that you may not have noticed it. The Sun will energize this and make it stand out – certain details and improvements will come to light, and this will be the time to make the most of them. Success will be dependent on your efforts to do it right and make it better.

Venus

Also on September 12th, Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus Rx in Taurus and makes a sextile to Saturn. The not-exact trine between Saturn and Uranus will be activated by Venus, suggesting surprising results/endings involving relationships, money or self-esteem.

Scorpio and Taurus are Fixed signs, so the surprise may be more like a depth charge that triggers a change from deep below. Someone may be very reluctant to move forward or welcome this change. Fortunately, Saturn is there to provide some stability. A trine between Saturn and Uranus suggests new rules/structures manifesting in a manageable way. Venus/Uranus may not feel manageable, but look at the bigger picture – consider what traditions are changing and how you can apply new rules or limits to keep yourself together.

Due to Venus’s upcoming Rx, this opposition will reoccur once more in October.

Mercury

On September 13th, Mercury in Virgo opposes Neptune Rx, then trines Pluto and makes a sextile to Jupiter from September 15th to 16th. Information will start out on a shaky note with missing details, deception, confusion or projected words that were never spoken aloud. Again, this could be a result/ending but the terms will be very unclear. You may be asking if it’s really over.

You might never receive a full answer, or completely understand what’s happening. But be aware that the potential for misunderstandings is great, so do not take any detail for granted. Mercury’s activation of the separating Jupiter/Pluto sextile can help you focus on the most important facts (it might help if you do some research and look behind the veil). You can spin what you do know into plans for the future.

Aries

Mars returns to your social sector, reactivating issues from May 16th. Now you can forge ahead with public actions or social activities. The future is reenergized after months of delays, and intensified efforts around career, professional status or ambition may have pushed you forward.

The Sun in your sector of routine hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile, giving you professional clout and making your daily routines, work methods or solutions very effective. You can reap the rewards from your hard work while taking advantage of ongoing transformations to your career and future goals. On a deeper level, hidden financial resources and quiet but intensive expansion will support you.

Venus in your sector of shared resources activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. Structured changes involving sources of income and overall security may be jolted as the dynamics of what you share or owe are amplified. An intimate relationship could start or stop suddenly, or reveal how vulnerable you are. Your approach to money/security could be highlighted. Responsibilities, authority and your focus on the future can stabilize you, if you approach these changes with self-control.

Mercury (in your sector of routine) opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Pluto/Jupiter sextile. Initial confusion about work or health information, or avoidance of certain facts/corrections can progress into powerful ideas that have a profoundly transformative approach on your work or health routine. The key will be opening your mind to ongoing changes and new solutions while keeping your eye on the details. Communicating your solutions or work methodologies is favoured.

Taurus

Mars returns to your career sector, reactivating issues from May 16th. Ambition, progress at work/with a job search and expression of your authority is back on track. Your review or redo of actions involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing has led to this – it’s full steam ahead as you activate your future goals.

The Sun in your sector of self-expression hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile, boosting your confidence, ability to impact others and desire to reach further. A new or existing relationship can flourish, as can creative works (with lucrative support from a partner).

Venus in your relationship sector opposes Uranus Rx in your sign and makes a sextile to Saturn in your opportunities sector. Major changes to your identity, approach to partnerships or lifestyle have led to this turning point – a partner can surprise you with the intensity of your attraction to them, or a sudden change/reveal of what they want. Your focus on future goals and long-range plans can keep you steady – no matter what happens, look forward. Uranus insists that you leave the past behind anyway, and your gradual exploration of new territory is part of this.

Mercury (in your sector of self-expression) opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Pluto/Jupiter sextile. Romantic/creative words or magical thoughts can lift you higher, but there’s also a risk of disappointment if unproven ideals blur the facts. Some of what’s discussed will be the real deal (especially if a partner is involved) and future plans look good. Don’t hesitate to think big, but make sure you have all the details covered. These aspects favour publication or your words having a strong impact on others.

Gemini

Mars’ return to your opportunities sector reactivates issues from May 16th. Efforts involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing are back on, and you may find that activity increases in these areas. Digging into the past/behind the scenes or sorting out issues with shared finances/intimacy has created momentum, and now you can jump ahead (and take a few risks).

The Sun in your domestic sector hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile, suggesting that home finances, home improvements or issues with family history can move in the right direction. Watch for deeper sources of strength, solutions or material resources -excellent for self-improvement, healing family issues or working on a homes business.

Venus in your sector of routine activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. An unexpected change, ending or release that happens behind the scenes can have abrupt consequences in your daily life ( impacting work or health). There can be an unforeseen workaround or disruption, and you can anchor yourself via set boundaries or the agreed-upon parameters regarding what you share or owe. If you’re feeling out of control, focus on those boundaries.

Mercury (in your domestic sector) opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. Dealing with management or distant/idealized career goals can trigger some disappointment or confusion. Domestic plans/discussions may get sidetracked by a possible job loss or the dissolution of a goal. Focus on what you can improve in your daily life by empowering yourself with sensitive but necessary knowledge (some of it may be quite private and in-depth) about shared finances or psychological issues. You’re in an excellent position to gain significant ground in your personal life, even if you have to release some expectations in your professional life.

Cancer

Mars’ return to your sector of shared resources reactivates issues from May 16th. Shared finances, intimacy or issues with trust/vulnerability can once again be triggered by anger, passion or the desire to break away. Someone else may be the trigger and you will only have so much control over what’s happening. Previous efforts to rebalance or wrap up a relationship will be part of this.

The Sun in your communication sector hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile, boosting your words, conversations and ideas. A discussion with a partner can be especially promising as you both explore new ways to progress or improve. Too, someone’s influence may push you to look more deeply or speak out in a way that benefits you. Excellent for all one-on-one communication.

Venus in your sector of self-expression activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. A sudden attraction (or ending to an attraction), change in public status or creative risk can be exciting and/or upsetting. You’ll turn a sharp corner and may feel quite exposed. However, you can rely on a partner’s support, or the defined parameters of a relationship. A change to your relationship with the public is unavoidable, but you can stabilize your one-on-one connections if you honour existing rules and commitments.

Mercury in your communication sector opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. Words, details and conversations will be quite misleading. What you hear or say may not be intentionally deceptive, but some details will be left out. Be especially careful if you’re signing documents or making a formal agreement. Nonetheless, there is still great potential to deliver a powerful statement or see new/exciting possibilities regarding what’s next. Again, partnership discussions are where it’s at – your one-on-one discussions can flourish and deepen. Just make sure all the facts are accounted for.

Leo

Mars’ return to your partnership sector can trigger momentum in a relationship that picks up from May 16th. You may feel like you’re returning to old situations, but in reality this is progress. A partner could make a move, step away or push you for a response. Your previous efforts to correct, upgrade or get the work done will be connected to this.

The Sun in your sector of personal resources hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile, suggesting a lucrative financial opportunity. Changes in your work or personal routine along with expansion at home can increase your confidence and available resources. This is especially beneficial for a home business.

Venus in your domestic sector activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. Radical changes to your future goals, expressions of authority or current job can trigger a major reevaluation of personal/domestic issues. What you want could abruptly change. Some stability can be found in your daily routines or focus on solutions/obligations – there is an area where your extra work and attention is needed. Approach things slowly and systematically while attending to your responsibilities.

Mercury in your sector of personal resources opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. Financial details or discussions about personal values can be blurred by deeper issues of vulnerability or what you share with/owe to someone. A partner’s finances or intimacy issues may be areas where you don’t get the full story, or you’re avoiding looking at the truth. Focus on the necessary transformations in your daily life and allow your deepening awareness of what’s correct/healthy to open your eyes to what you really need. Ideas for a home business or your personal security have a solid basis as long as you deal with the facts.

Virgo

Mars’ return to your sector of routine reactivates issues from May 16th. You’ll pick up where you left off regarding a work or health situation with a renewed sense of energy and fresh solutions. Too, a mini crisis or excess work could also be reactivated, but at least you have an idea of what you’re dealing with. This time, you can count on progress. Extra efforts to achieve a desired creative or romantic goal will have led to this (now you’ll have the traction to make it work).

The Sun in your sign hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. Watch for a gentle boost of confidence, purpose and the ability to communicate exactly what you need to say, in the perfect way. Your words/ideas will be compelling and optimistic.

Venus in your communication sector activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. Unexpected news involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing can be exciting, inspirational or unnerving. Innovation will be high, and you may want to take a risk or say something unconventional. Saturn urges you to measure your words and focus on what’s most important – there is an opportunity here if you apply some discipline and restraint. Consider this a calculated risk.

Mercury in your sign opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. Conversations with a partner, or your projected anxieties/fantasies, can undermine what you have to say. Too, a partner’s weakness or uncertainty can be upsetting. Be wary of assumptions or unproven promises. When in doubt, focus on what you know has potential for growth (rather than what you’re hoping for or worried about) and use your passion for advancement to fuel your words. Excellent for promoting yourself or having a game-changer discussion with a partner, as long as you can keep your eye on the facts and not get distracted by what might happen.

Libra

Mars’ return to your sector of self-expression reactivates an area of passion or creativity from May 16th. A new attraction, creative project or issue with children/pregnancy will once again be energized and your actions should net some results now. At the very least, you’ll find it easier to fully express yourself, now that you’ve wrapped up domestic issues.

The Sun in your hidden sector hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile, empowering your instincts or hidden purpose. A background sense of confidence and security can grow. Watch for unexpected sources of income or the growth of a hidden issue. Excellent for healing or attending to private matters.

Venus in your sector of personal resources activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. A sudden change in income, an unexpected new source of income or a surprising change to what you want can rattle you, especially since the trigger will be something outside your control. Expenses or partnership issues that have not been fully revealed could be themes. This is all part of the change that’s taking place in your domestic life – a gradual reveal of new responsibilities and a shift in focus. These new responsibilities can ground you regarding what’s most important (and where you money/attention needs to go).

Mercury in your hidden sector opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. Information involving work or health can be very unclear, or may be something you’re completely denying. Avoiding the facts will not help you, and you can actually benefit from what’s happening (perhaps a necessary release in your daily life) if you tune into changes at home. Excavations of issues from the past and the acknowledgment of certain endings or metaphorical “deaths” can deepen your instincts. Watch for newly emerging ideas about your personal growth, security and self-esteem. Excellent for working on a home business or upgrading your life from the inside. In some cases, the analysis of family secrets can be beneficial.

Scorpio

Mars’ return to your domestic sector can stir up activity connected to May 16th. Once again, you’ll be dealing with family conflict, a relocation, home repairs or intensified action around the home. But this time, you can push through and reach a conclusion. If you’ve been attempting to step away from the past, it can happen now. An intensified discussion or efforts to deal with certain information will be the springboard for renewed domestic efforts.

The Sun in your social sector hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile (including Jupiter in your sign). This is an excellent influence for all social contacts, public announcements or efforts to promote yourself. Your public image will be empowered by your words and honesty, plus you’ll have significant appeal and good timing on your side.

Venus in your sign activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. Relationship surprises are in store – this could be an expected new attraction or a surprising move by your partner. You may feel uneasy with events beyond your control, but you can use your focused ideas/plans to keep yourself on track. A relationship discussion or plans for the future can still progress.

Mercury in your social sector opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. Social contacts, discussions with friends or public announcements can slide off track if you lose sight of the truth or get caught up in the fantasy of what might be. There may be a strong desire to see only what you want to see, but it’s crucial that you focus on what you know. Your words/contacts can still be tremendously empowering (you can convince others or align yourself with someone who could benefit you) but keep yourself grounded and don’t get caught up in your own press.

Sagittarius

Mars’ return to your communication sector reactivates an argument, tense discussion or topic that you’re passionate about. This will refer back to May 16th (and efforts involving money or self-esteem) but now you can move forward with your ideas, or reach the end of the discussion.

The Sun in your career sector hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile, suggesting a very positive work opportunity. Improvements, refinements or your attention to the correct thing regarding your professional image can lead to more money or an enhanced sense of security and capability. A new job or improvements in your current position are possible.

Venus in your hidden sector activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. Ongoing changes involving your daily environment and/or health can reveal a previously hidden issue or alert you to something you didn’t know you wanted. This new wrinkle can make you feel uneasy, especially if something hidden is revealed, but know that your discipline and self-reliance regarding money and emotional security can be stabilizing. Ultimately, this is about your ability to look after yourself by updating your daily routines.

Mercury in your career sector opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. A discussion with management, discussion about future goals or a career announcement can be confusing and misleading. You may be distracted by old habits or issues at home. Or, your fantasies/fears about what might happen can blur your perceptions about a current truth. However, careful attention to professional details and aligning your thoughts with ongoing changes to your security base (both financial and emotional) can keep you on track. This is about an honest statement of what you’re capable of as well as an examination of what needs to be improved. Watch for background sources of support. These energies favour an opportunity to increase your earning power or express your personal values via your career.

Capricorn

Mars’ return to your sector of personal resources activates a financial or self-esteem issue from May 16th. This is your chance to try again regarding the pursuit of what you need. Now, you shouldn’t encounter any delays or blocks and your ambitions can carry you forward. You may also be encouraged to fight for what you need.

The Sun in your sector of opportunities hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile (including Pluto Rx in your sign). Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can advance gradually but significantly. There’s new territory to be explored or something new to learn, and your focus on the future will carry you forward. Watch for support from friends or a public contact.

Venus in your social sector activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. An unexpected event with friends, group activities or your public image can be unnerving and/or exciting. You may get more attention than you want, meet someone new and intriguing or find that you attract others in odd ways. You may feel rattled, but you can fall back on Saturn in your sign – remind yourself that you have the authority and discipline to deal with this. This is actually an opportunity, but in order to make it work for you, you’ll need to focus on what’s most important and get serious about moving ahead. You may not be able to control everything but you can control your approach to this situation (aim for calm maturity).

Mercury in your opportunities sector opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. An announcement, big promise or information involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing may be undercut by inaccuracies or missing details. This could be a result or even an ending, but the terms will be unclear. Use your ability to get to the bottom of things and do some digging – don’t accept an unsatisfying answer. You may not get all the details, but you can make the most of the details you have. If you’re making a statement or submitting something for publication, take into account that some of your words may be misunderstood. Or, you may have to release old ideas that you’ve been clinging to.

Aquarius

Mars return to your sign reactivates an issue from May 16th. This will involve your efforts to move forward, leave the past behind or initiate something new in the areas of lifestyle, public image or relationships, but now the energy should advance without any slowdowns. Watch for an acceleration and increasing surge of motivation, driven by the buildup or ending of a background issue.

The Sun in your sector of shared resources hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile, suggesting powerful and positive shifts in the background. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy are areas where you can experience strength and confidence, based on the discovery of deeper resources/connections. This can harmonize with opportunities in your professional life, or an optimistic vision of your future.

Venus in your career sector activates the Saturn/Uranus trine. Watch for surprising events with a professional relationship or your professional image – there could be something new and unexpected to work with, or an abrupt change of course which will involve you breaking away from past habits or family issues. A sudden relocation or job change are possibilities, but there’s a background source of stability that you can rely on. This will involve a slow but certain ending – something is winding down, and it’s better if you work with the process by voluntarily closing certain doors.

Mercury in your sector of shared resources opposes Neptune Rx and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. Conversations/information about shared finances or intimacy can be tricky. Some of the details may not be available, or you may get caught up in psychological issues that enable avoidance, paranoia or helplessness. Too, there could be a final conversation with someone close to you where you say goodbye on a deep level. When in doubt, focus on your future and the transformation that you know is happening. Empower yourself by continuing to let go of those old, undermining habits.

Pisces

Mars’ return to your hidden sector reinvigorates a hidden or background issue from May 16th. Once again, undeveloped potentials are on the boil – pay attention to a renewed sense of excitement or purpose that is somewhat hard to define.

The Sun in your partnership sector hooks into the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. A relationship can increase in strength, purpose and benefits as it moves in the right direction. Romantic or social/professional potentials can increase as you and another align your interests in moving forward.

Venus in your sector of opportunities activates the Saturn/Uranus trine, triggering a surprising announcement, introduction or tempting new development (long-distance romance could be a factor). There may be an increased urge to take a risk or say “Yes” to something unusual. Try to make this a calculated risk by paying attention to social rules and responsibilities – there are certain limits that can help you stay on track.

Mercury in your partnership sector opposes Neptune Rx in your sign and activates the Jupiter/Pluto sextile. A key relationship discussion can be confusing or disappointing, especially if you’re projecting what you want to hear. Listen to what’s actually being said, and pay attention to any unspoken fears/hopes you may have. If a partner isn’t telling you the whole story, don’t attempt to fill in the blanks. Despite this, information from another can point the way to strong future potentials. All one-on-one conversations can alert you to greater possibilities and help you connect with friends/the public in an influential way.

Horoscopes for September 2nd, 2018 to September 9th, 2018

by Nadia Gilchrist • September 2, 2018

Overview

Communication Challenges

September 5th sees an awkward inconjunct between Mercury in Leo and Mars in Capricorn. Focused or conservative actions will be at odds with bold/creative words, and the disconnect can lead to tense conversations or ineffective efforts. This aspect was first triggered on August 21st by the Leo Sun.

Mercury will then enter Virgo, the sign that it rules, but its strength will be temporarily compromised as it makes yet another inconjunct, this time to Chiron Rx in Aries (on September 6th). The identification of flaws or solutions will not be totally effective, and helpful words might rub some people the wrong way. The Virgo Sun triggered this aspect on August 24th, so you’ll be revisiting the issue.

Grand Earth Trine

The good news is that Saturn in Capricorn stations direct on September 6th and activates a Grand Earth trine with Mercury in Virgo and Uranus Rx in Taurus (effective from September 6th to September 7th). Despite the above difficulties, this trine allows you to turn words into reality. The focus on details, upgrades and solutions can effectively integrate change into your routines. The Virgo Sun activated this trine from August 23rd to 25th, but now you’ll be putting those potentials into words and moving ahead with your goals.

Venus

On September 8th, Venus in Libra squares Mars in Capricorn. Actions will conflict with what you want, and sometimes this can indicate a hot attraction. It will certainly be motivating, but Venus in Libra does not like to be challenged, so the disruption of harmony can feel uncomfortable. And, some efforts to attain a desired goal may be too much/too serious.

Note that Venus will shift gears as she enters Scorpio on September 9th. This transit will be about what lies beneath the surface of relationships, social image and wants. Venus will station Rx Scorpio on October 5th, so get ready for a prolonged excavation of relationship and self-esteem issues.

New Moon in Virgo

The September 9th New Moon in Virgo trines Pluto Rx in Capricorn. This gives new developments a powerful feel, and that power will be based on Virgo energies- making it better, doing it right, identifying the precise details. A sextile to Jupiter in Scorpio adds a nice boost of quiet optimism and potential for future growth. But this Moon will oppose Neptune Rx in Pisces, so there’s also potential to lose sight of the details and get lost in the fantasy or suspicion. There may be a struggle to keep this new development on a realistic track – focus on what you know and refuse to become distracted by what ifs.

Aries

Mercury/Mars signals a tense conversation with someone in authority, or discord between controlled career actions versus what you really want to say. This issue may have first come to light around August 21st. As Mercury enters your sector of routine and clashes with Chiron Rx in your sign, you’ll become aware of a flaw or vulnerability (in a work or health situation) regarding your previous communication. A solution might only be partially effective, or your attempts to point out what’s wrong could make it worse. This will refer back to August 24th. Know that there’s only so much you can do – this is not an issue that can be neatly wrapped up.

Fortunately, Saturn direct in your career sector and the Grand Earth Trine (including Mercury in your sector of routine and Uranus Rx in your sector of personal resources) indicates progress regarding a future goal, job search or your expressions of authority. Your focus and attention to detail can still benefit you as your words are supported by those in authority. Others will respect what you say and you can integrate new sources of income/approaches to finances in an effective way. This will be connected to developments from August 23rd to August 25th.

Venus in your partnership sector square Mars can trigger a power imbalance in a relationship (personal or professional) where one partner must “win”. Attraction can be hot, but be wary of mixing business with pleasure, or indulging in a power trip. As Venus enters your sector of shared resources, this tension can push you into a deeper level of intimacy, understanding or psychological exploration – you’ll see that there’s more to this relationship than win/lose.

The New Moon in your sector of routine suggests new developments regarding health, your approach to work or obligations to others. New routines/upgrades can be powerful and effective, allowing you to make the most of your desire to advance. A new job or your connection to those in power can progress nicely, and you’ll also be accessing deeper sources of strength or instinctive strategies. However, watch for reality versus fantasy dynamics – there are some hidden issues that can undermine this new beginning if you’re denying or avoiding something.

Mercury/Mars indicates tense domestic conversations/discoveries regarding relocation, travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Efforts regarding the future will clash with immediate concerns (this will refer to an issue from August 21st). As Mercury enters your sector of self-expression and makes an inconjunct with Chiron Rx, this can lead to insecurities about flaws around a desired goal. You may be afraid that something is wrong, although the exact source of the fear will be hidden. This will refer back to August 24th. Don’t ignore your doubts (it may help to openly discuss them) but don’t allow them to completely undermine your confidence.

This will be connected to developments from August 23rd to August 25th, as you put those potentials into words.

Venus in your sector of routine square Mars suggests an imbalance regarding what you want to receive/how you want to help, versus actions to make this happen. You may push too hard, or someone may be demanding too much from you. Too, efforts regarding travel, education, legal matters or publishing can upset a delicate balance in your daily life. As Venus enters your partnership sector you may find it easier to regain that balance as you become aware of other levels of give and take.

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression suggests promising beginnings regarding a new romance, creative project, children/pregnancy or a celebration. Your desire to take things further/travel/explore will support this, and support from a partner (or the desire of a new partner to get serious) can boost your confidence. However, watch for unrealistic future expectations or the undermining influence of others – it will be easy to lose sight of what’s happening right now and project into the future. Take it one step at a time and enjoy the present.

Gemini

Mercury/Mars can trigger angry words and edgy conversations, but the anger will not be fully revealed (this will refer back to August 21st). Initiative or frustration involving finances or intimacy will be beneath the surface, and subconscious impulses will drive public words. As Mercury enters your domestic sector and makes an inconjunct with Chiron Rx, your attention will be drawn to uncomfortable family dynamics or problems with a home business/domestic issue – a hurtful conversation will be connected to events from August 24th. This could be an old wound (family history) that’s being churned up again, and the trigger will be challenging social prompts/insecurities.

Saturn direct in your sector of shared resources and the Grand Earth Trine (including Mercury in your domestic sector and Uranus Rx in your hidden sector) can offer some solutions to the above, even though the problem won’t be neatly resolved. Progress around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or shared boundaries will solidify key domestic discussions and background changes/endings. Domestic finances/stability can improve as disciplined solutions are implemented. This will be connected to developments from August 23rd to August 25th.

Venus in your sector of self-expression square Mars can trigger a powerful new attraction, spice up your love life with an existing partner or increase your urge to spend/grab attention. This is passionate and compelling energy, but it’s a bit jagged – stay aware of obscured motivations, misdirected anger or the desire to push for more than is sensible. As Venus enters your sector of routine, this energy will take on a more practical vibe as health, work and obligations to others take precedence. Watch for an intensive commitment to service or improvement.

The New Moon in your domestic sector can bring new developments regarding home, family, a home business, relocation or renovations. The theme will be making it better or addressing a flaw, and this will be powered up by a commitment to deep change or the discovery of certain financial/emotional resources. You’ll also be supported by increased energy, the urge to work or tackle a problem. However, be cautious of misplaced professional ideals or your belief in someone with authority – issues around career, ambition and success can be misleading and may undermine your efforts at home. Stay grounded in what’s closest to you.

This will be connected to developments from August 23rd to August 25th – potential from that time will be verbalized.

Venus in your domestic sector square Mars suggests tension with a domestic partner, or discord between what you want for home/family versus your partner’s efforts.

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources suggests a new financial opportunity that’s empowered by changes in your daily routine or work environment.

Along with Mercury in your sign, you’ll be focused on communicating things in the best possible way, and you’ll have the power to do this.

The New Moon in your sign powers you up with an intensified desire involving creative work, a new attraction, self-expression or children/pregnancy. Potentials from the Grand Earth Trine can manifest via this focused new beginning- you know what you want, you can see it and you have the knowledge to make it happen. Optimism and new/expansive ideas (or something you’ve learned) will add to the favourable energy. But the caution is to avoid projecting a fantasy onto someone else. Especially if this involves a relationship, make sure you focus on what you can do (realistically) to make this happen rather than what you hope or suspect someone else might do. In some cases, this could signal a turning point in a partnership as a release leads to a solid new beginning.

Libra

Mercury/Mars can trigger tense conversations with friends, groups or the public.

Watch for a quiet but certain expansion of private resources and inner confidence. This can be an immensely reaffirming influence that tunes you into an instinctive sense of reassurance.

The New Moon in your social sector suggests a powerful new beginning (involving friends, groups or the public) that’s driven by your focus on an idea, or by your passionate words. This favours an effective announcement or beneficial introduction to someone new. The sextile to Jupiter in your sign indicates benefits based on your ability to make the most of your resources and expand beyond your current situation. However, the opposition to Neptune urges you to maintain a realistic view of where this is going- you could get carried away with a creative or romantic fantasy. While the potential is promising, don’t allow illusion to undermine it.

Overview

Mercury in Leo is challenged by some awkward aspects that are repeats (due to Mercury’s Rx) from July 9th to August 11th.

August 26th offers a doubtful inconjunct to Neptune Rx in Pisces, as details are blurred and disconnected from reality. August 28th features a bold square to Jupiter in Leo and September 2nd a square to Juno in Taurus, which revisits Mercury’s square to the Juno/Jupiter opposition from August 9th to 11th. Words/ideas will be big and enthusiastic, but a partnership agreement will have to be navigated. Compromise will be difficult and you may be confronted with a clash of ideals. August 29th’s inconjunct to Pluto Rx triggers verbal manipulations and indirect power plays.

The square from Jupiter is the main deal. Lots of potential and optimism, but the other tricky aspects say that it won’t be an easy sell. You’ll have to navigate confusion, power plays and disagreements. But you’ve dealt with this issue before, so apply what you’ve learned and move forward with that big idea.

Fortunately, you’ve got Mars stationing direct (on August 27th) to help you out with the above. Moving forward, taking action or simply getting things done should be easier. Mars Rx returned to Capricorn on August 12th, so you can wrap up a project/frustration from that time.

Aries

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression can stir up tension about the terms of a financial agreement, in a personal or business context. You may be encouraged to ask for more, but the details of your must-haves versus what they expect may be very different. Too, there could be enthusiasm around an intense attraction or tempting opportunity, as you feel the urge to speak out. Ambition and confidence will be high, but secrets/background issues can create confusion or inappropriate statements. Speak cautiously, check your expectations and double check all the details. You’ll be revisiting events from July 9th to August 11th.

Mars direct in your career sector signals the return of ambition, a climb up the ladder or progress regarding a job search, work project or dealings with management. Delays that commenced around August 12th will end and you should feel more in control of your future goals.

Taurus

Aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector (including the square to Juno in your sign) signal the return of a partnership disagreement from July 9th to August 11th. This time, you should be turning a corner and (hopefully) reaching a compromise. A partner’s big idea or enthusiasm can be uplifting but can also make you feel as if things are moving too fast. Too, your projected expectations may be out of line with reality. Family discussions or information about relocation, a home business or other domestic issues will be intensified by strong beliefs about right and wrong, but also confused by unrealistic social ideals or external interference. Stay grounded in the moment and don’t get distracted by what could be.

Mars direct in your sector of opportunities indicates progress regarding travel, education, legal matters, publishing or a fight for certain beliefs. Frustrations from August 12th can now ease up, as you gain perspective on distant potentials. Now you can take action on what (until now) has been a distant opportunity.

Gemini

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector can trigger some big ideas (or increased tasks) related to work or health.

What’s spoken outwardly will not reflect the whole story, and this refers back to issues from July 9th to August 11th.

Mars direct in your sector of shared resources can give you some traction regarding debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. If you’ve been feeing out of control or at the mercy of someone else’s power, this influence can help you take control of your part in the matter. Stagnation that began around August 12th can lift as you feel the return of initiative that encourages you to tackle the heavy or uncomfortable issues.

Cancer

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources suggest promising ideas/discussions about earned money, or a confidence-boosting scenario, but you’ll also be dealing with conflict over the terms of a public or social agreement. This will refer back to issues from July 9th to August 11th. At this point you should be ready make a compromise or decide what works best for you. However, you can still get sidetracked by unrealistic ideals and power plays in a relationship. Make sure that you’re not stubbornly insisting on a certain outcome as a way of proving that you’re right. Watch your finances carefully, and think carefully before you say “Yes” to a new earning opportunity. It does have promise, but the social/public implications may not sit right with you.

Mars direct in your relationship sector signals forward movement on relationship issues that first came up around August 12th. Whether you’re dealing with a relationship from the past, or waiting for a partner to decide/commit/take action, there will be progress. If you’ve been spending a lot of time revisiting old memories, that too can end as you focus your energy on the future. It may be time to say goodbye.

Leo

Aspects to Mercury in your sign can trigger career and domestic disagreements from July 9th to August 11th. A professional contract or discussion with someone in authority can once again pop up, but now you’ll have an answer and sense of progress, especially on the domestic front. All domestic and family matters can jump ahead as bold, slightly risky ideas are implemented. Note that you’ll be influenced by work/health concerns, as well as the urge to maintain control over what can’t be controlled (another person or a situation that’s bigger than you). You’ll have to accept that certain things need to be released, and certain transformations need to be accepted. Nonetheless, there’s something to look forward to (perhaps relocation or new job) as you focus on the future.

Mars direct in your sector of routine can signal the end to frustrations and low energy that have been plaguing you since August 12th. Watch for a return of motivation, organization and increased control over your daily environment. Health issues can improve, or you can arrive at a solution/plan of action.

Virgo

Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector can pump up a secret plan, ideal or hope, but you’ll also be dealing with the reality of conflicting priorities and the terms of an agreement involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. This will refer back to issues from July 9th to August 11th, but now you should have some clarity on what’s possible and what isn’t. Mixed messages from a partner and your own drive for recognition/achievement can intensify certain illusions – stay clear on what’s realistic and make sure that what’s unspoken isn’t undermining an external promise or contract.

Mars direct in your sector of self-expression suggests the return of confidence, initiative and progress regarding a creative project or new attraction. Delays or frustrations from August 12th can ease up as you find it easier to go after what you want or create what matters most to you. Even if the outcome does not deliver what you were hoping for, you should still feel focused, energetic and ready to take on what’s next.

Libra

Aspects to Mercury in your social sector suggest a public opportunity that can open a door to more money or confidence-boosting social contacts. However, there will be tension over the terms of an agreement behind the scenes, as well as vague details and hidden manipulations. What’s said/written on the surface will not reflect the whole story. This will refer back to issues from July 9th to August 11th.

Mars direct in your domestic sector can signal progress regarding a relocation, home business, family issue or home renovation. Delays or intensified digging into the past that began around August 12th should now be concluded.

Scorpio

Aspects to Mercury in your career sector, including the square to Jupiter in your sign, suggest an optimistic conversation with management, an enthusiastic business idea or professional opportunity. However, watch for disagreements with a partner or difficulty in comprising on the terms of a contract. There will also be covert plays for power and over idealistic plans or promises – nail down the facts and make certain you’re hearing/delivering the absolute truth (rather than what you’re wishing will happen). This will refer back to an issue from July 9th to August 11th.

Mars direct in your communication sector can deliver an answer or more focused sense of initiative regarding an idea/research/point you’re trying to make. August 12th may have seen you backtracking or questioning, but now any lingering doubts or delays should be wrapped up and you can proceed with a strengthened sense of purpose. Words and actions unite as you walk your talk.

Sagittarius

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of opportunities indicate buoyant travel plans or good news concerning education, overseas matters, legal issues or publishing. There may be a dream-come-true feeling to this, as you discuss or learn about something you’ve been wishing for. However, watch for discord around a practical agreement or work/health contract – the daily details may conflict with your schedule. And you’ll also have to contend with difficult home/family dynamics and financial issues. This refers back to an issue from July 9th to August 11th.

Mars direct in your sector of personal resources suggests progress with earned money, sources of income, personal security or personal boundaries/values. Your initiative to earn, fight for what you need or look after yourself should return as delays/blocks from August 12th are finally lifted.

Capricorn

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources suggest a return to a financial or emotional opportunity from July 9th to August 11th. Deep conversations, research or internal processing can uncover something valuable, lucrative or exciting. However, watch for tendency to get carried away with spending or merging – you might think there’s more on offer than is actually available. And, you will run into discord regarding the terms of a romantic or personal agreement. There could be a disagreement around what “intimacy” or “sharing” really involves. The inconjunct to Pluto Rx in your sign will stir up hidden attempts to maintain control through the gathering of information – some questions or investigations may be more about domination than constructive discussions. Certain details will be confusing due to mixed messages or wishful thinking.

Despite the above, Mars direct in your sign puts you back in the driver’s seat. You’ve got the control now, as delays from August 12th are overcome. Watch for a return of energy, initiative and focus as your hard work pays off. Excellent for moving forward with a personal or business project, or for starting/intensifying an exercise regime.

Aquarius

Aspects to Mercury in your partnership sector suggest a bold statement/promise in a business or personal partnership. Future goals look enticing, but there’s conflict involving domestic agreements, family or your partner’s ideas versus your vision. Nonetheless, there’s room for future growth (and compromise) in this development that’s connected to events from July 9th to August 11th. Watch for hidden power plays and unclear details involving money or security – make sure the terms of this agreement are crystal clear (and in writing, if possible) before you say “Yes.”

Mars direct in your hidden sector marks the conclusion to another layer of endings. An issue that’s been delayed since August 12th can now be wrapped up, and progress, clarity and increased control (over what was previously vague and undefined) is available.

Pisces

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of routine suggest a solution, plan for improvement or bold idea for an upgrade (in work or health) will once again be on your radar. This may have first come up around July 9th to August 11th. However, specific details in a contract or agreement may conflict with these solutions, and the inconjunct to Neptune Rx in your sign suggests you may struggle to clarify the details or focus on what’s most important. At the same time, social power struggles can trigger attempts to correct/perfect as a way of maintaining control. Conversations with co-workers, health professionals or contractors can be tricky.

Mars direct in your social sector signals an end to delays and redos from August 12th. Public actions, or efforts involving friends/groups/the public are now focused and effective.

August 28th features a bold square to Jupiter in Scorpio and September 2nd a square to Juno in Taurus, which revisits Mercury’s square to the Juno/Jupiter opposition from August 9th to 11th. Words/ideas will be big and enthusiastic, but a partnership agreement will have to be navigated. Compromise will be difficult and you may be confronted with a clash of ideals. August 29th’s inconjunct to Pluto Rx triggers verbal manipulations and indirect power plays.

Overview

Virgo Season

August 23rd sees the Sun’s entrance into Virgo, the sign of improvements, upgrades and service. This is the time of real fixes (Virgo is an Earth sign) and attention to detail. There is no room for ego in Virgo season, because the focus is on what you can do better (you can always do better) and how you can help others.

Having said this, the Sun’s first aspect is a painful inconjunct to Chiron Rx (Wounded Healer) in Aries, exact on August 24th. The increased focus on what can be fixed will trigger awareness of a wound or vulnerability that can’t be fixed. Chiron’s wounds never go away. So we have tension between what’s wrong and the drive to make it better. Since the inconjunct is about working with both sides of an incompatible mix, you’ll want to confront (Aries) the wound and work with possible ways of making it better (Virgo), while understanding that it’s not going to be neatly squared away.

Grand Earth Trine

Fortunately, the Sun is also part of a Grand Earth Trine (to August 25th) involving Saturn Rx in Capricorn and Uranus Rx in Taurus. This is a stabilizing influence, with rules/discipline/maturity (Saturn) as the anchor. Change (Uranus) can be integrated into a new routine (Virgo) which will involve new rules/commitments (Saturn). The Rx status of Saturn and Uranus tells you that you’re returning to this issue, and this time you can get it right (Virgo).

Full Moon in Pisces

The Grand Trine and Chiron inconjunct feature in August 26th’s Pisces Full Moon. Here we have a culmination that ties all of the above together. A sore spot that can’t quite be corrected, but also an encouraging flow of stable energy and smoothly integrated changes. Pisces is about release, forgiveness and transcendence. The way forward will involve accepting what you can’t fix or control. Forgiving yourself or others while still working to make the best of what you’ve got.

Venus Square Pluto

Also on August 26th there’s a square between Venus in Libra and Pluto Rx in Capricorn. In contrast to the Full Moon energies, this square suggests obsessive attractions/wants that will trigger an imbalance (Libra). Pluto pushes Venus to go beneath Libra’s surface – there can be demands for more (more than is reasonable) and smiling, social facades will be undercut by darker motivations. The square creates a craving for power and the anxiety that it will be lost.

Aries

The Sun into your sector of routine, inconjunct Chiron Rx in your sign, can hi-light an error, illness or weakness that you want to fix. However, the challenge will be accepting that you can’t make this one go away. The wound will linger – there may be an area where you feel singled out or vulernable and you’ll have to move forward with this. At the same time, you’re encouraged to explore practical methods of dealing with it.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your sector of routine, your career sector (Saturn Rx) and your sector of personal resources (Uranus Rx). Along with the Full Moon in your hidden sector, there will be a result or ending involving the above wound. Something hidden could come to light, and the Grand Trine suggests you can anchor yourself via the responsibilities/authority issues that you’re dealing with in your career. Despite any insecurities, work and finances look good as you smoothly incorporate a change of income/new source of income into your routines. Focus on what you know you have to do and take it one step at a time.

Venus in your partnership sector square Pluto Rx suggests that relationships can be intense, passionate and/or aggravating as you deal with a compulsive attraction, power play or manipulative competition (disguised as friendliness).

Taurus

The Sun into your sector of self-expression, inconjunct Chiron Rx, presents an issue where you want to shine, achieve or attain. But you’ll be undercut by hidden/unacknowledged insecurities or weaknesses. What you want is manifesting, but you can’t ignore the background wounds that are being triggered.

The Grand Earth Trine activates Uranus Rx in your sign, the Sun in your sector of self-expression and Saturn Rx in your sector of opportunities. Along with the Full Moon in your social sector, a very public ending or result could be featured. A major change, break for freedom or solid opportunity could be part of these developments – this could be your chance to shine or establish a desired result. Watch for developments in the areas of new romance, children/pregnancy or creative work/performance. This Full Moon suggests there’s plenty of room for future growth, once you release a key social expectation or identification.

Venus in your sector of routine square Pluto Rx suggests a work or health issue could leave you feeling unbalanced as assistance/service is more of a power play that genuine help. There could be strings attached, and this also applies to any help you may be offering. Check your motivations if you’re trying to help someone, and be aware of what’s offered to you.

Gemini

The Sun into your domestic sector inconjunct Chiron Rx can trigger some domestic tension as you’re confronted with social insecurities or painful issues with friends/the group. What’s going on out there will have to be balanced with what’s happening at home/with family .

The Grand Earth Trine activates your domestic sector, your sector of shared resources (Saturn Rx) and your hidden sector (Uranus Rx). Domestic finances, intimacy or private matters can improve and stabilize. The key will be establishing boundaries with a partner and/or reinforcing shared responsibilities. Along with the Full Moon in your career sector, watch for a conclusion involving career, future goals or public expressions of private authority. A job change or relocation could be featured.

Venus in your sector of self-expression square Pluto Rx can trigger a powerful, possibly obsessive desire for attention, romantic satisfaction or pleasure. Passion will be high, but so will the temptation to overdo it, overspend or push for more than is wise.

Cancer

The Sun into your communication sector, inconjunct Chiron Rx, indicates painful or awkward career discussions or announcements. A meeting with someone in authority, or your attempts to communicate your authority, can reveal a flaw or area where you just can’t seem to say the right thing. Know that you won’t get this one perfect, so concentrate on doing your best, covering al the details and then acknowledging any mistakes. The exposure of a professional flaw may be an issue.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your communication sector, your partnership sector (Saturn Rx) and your social sector (Uranus Rx). The above difficulties can be handled with your steady, practical attention to what needs to be improved, or perhaps a public acknowledgement of what’s wrong. Your public image/connection to the group is changing, and you can find support from others (as well as a partner) as long as you’re mature and honest about this. No dramatics are needed – just a calm statement of the facts. In some cases, this Grand Trine, along with the Full Moon in your opportunities sector, can suggest a solid opportunity to cement your public reputation or express your new ideas in a way that’s respected. A public announcement/launch looks good, even as you’re dealing with a few vulernable moments.

Venus in your domestic sector square Pluto Rx indicates a spot of tension with a domestic relationship. A partner may have some powerful ideas about what they want, and you could feel unbalanced as you’re challenged by this. Too, family dynamics can feel unfair. Remember that you still have a say – make sure that you’re not projecting all your power outwards. Some power struggles are a sign that change is here and the entire dynamic of your relationship (and you as a partner) is being transformed.

Leo

The Sun into your sector of personal resources inconjunct Chiron Rx can raise tensions between security (financial and emotional) versus venturing further afield. Difficulties in the areas of long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing can trigger insecurities, and your resources may not be enough to address the issue. The truth is, there is no fix for this – you’ll have to manage your existing resources while acknowledging that new areas will be uncomfortable.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your sector of personal resources, your sector of routine (Saturn Rx) and your career sector (Uranus Rx). The above insecurities can be addressed via a steady work/health routine and a disciplined approach to certain responsibilities. Changes in your career/future goals can work for you if you stay calm and focused. Along with the Full Moon in your sector of shared resources, there can be a result involving shared finances, intimacy or a deeper level of trust with someone special. An ending or release of old attitudes to trust/security could be part of this.

Venus in your communication sector square Pluto Rx suggests conversations/statements that are friendly or flirtatious on the surface, but have an undertone of compulsion. You may be pressured to agree to something you’re not totally comfortable with, or you may (indirectly) do the pressuring. Pay attention to the motivations that lie behind the words.

Virgo

The Sun into your sign, inconjunct Chiron Rx, can raise your awareness of a key weakness, flaw or area where you feel out of control. Money, intimacy or deeper psychological issues may be the trigger. Know that you can make certain adjustments that will improve the situation, but you can’t achieve perfection in this case. The deeper wound will continue and you may have to be ok with “good enough.”

The Grand Earth Trine activates the Sun in your sign, Saturn Rx in your sector of self-expression and Uranus Rx in your opportunities sector. Despite the above, you have a major opportunity to focus on what matters most to you (a highly desired romantic or creative goal) and make it happen. You can incorporate new opportunities/approaches (or a venture into the unknown) while anchoring this innovation with your discipline. Go slow, take it one step at a time and watch things solidify. Along with the Full Moon in your partnership sector, a relationship turning point or culmination may be featured. A new attraction could solidify, or a mutual commitment (to change, greater freedom or new horizons) could manifest.

Venus in your sector of personal resources square Pluto Rx can trigger unbalanced spending or desires for something. This can be a passionate, indulgent influence, but your cravings can also push you to spend more (emotionally or financially) than you actually have, thereby compromising your security. Consider what you want so badly, and then consider the consequences if you go to extremes.

Libra

The Sun into your hidden sector inconjunct Chiron Rx suggests some painful partnership issues with hidden dynamics. A secret desire for improvement or recognition of what’s missing between you may not be openly discussed, but will factor into awkward confrontations. Don’t ignore what’s going on behind the scenes.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your hidden sector, your domestic sector (Saturn Rx) and your sector of shared resources (Uranus Rx). Despite the above issues, background or domestic stability is available if you work with home/family responsibilities. Changes in domestic finances or in the deeper layers of a relationship can be integrated into your life, with the understanding that an existing relationship problem won’t go away. Along with the Full Moon in your sector of routine, watch for a result or solution involving work habits, health or daily routines. This could be about finding new ways to release an unhealthy habit or create stability.

Venus in your sign square Pluto Rx can prompt some intense moments of jealousy, manipulation or control. A desired objective (or relationship issue) may consume you, but watch for all-or-nothing behaviour. If you find that you’re caught in a “must have” situation, take a step back.

Scorpio

The Sun into your social sector inconjunct Chiron Rx can trigger your awareness of an error, imperfection or weakness in the areas of health or daily routines. A social issue (or interaction with friends/the public) may be the prompt. While another’s comments (or your comparison) does have something important to say about your difficulties, keep in mind that it’s not all about what’s going on “out there.” External events and contacts can offer perspective (and remind you where you stand) but your health or approach to work come first. Be cautious about unrealistic standards of public perfection. Too, this could illustrate the disconnect between your public face versus what’s going on closer to home.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your social sector, your communication sector (Saturn Rx) and your partnership sector (Uranus Rx). Relationship changes can be formalized via a verbal or written commitment. Clarifying the rules/boundaries on a personal and public level can help stabilize a partnership. This applies romantically and professionally. Along with the Full Moon in your sector of self-expression, watch for a conclusion that hi-lights something you want to go public with. Excellent for a launch or public declaration of a relationship commitment.

Venus in your hidden sector square Pluto Rx suggests hidden compulsions, jealousies or obsessive attractions. You may have your eye on a specific relationship goal or person, but much of what you want is obscured from others, and maybe even yourself. Even if you’re keeping this private, aim for total honesty with yourself. Now is not the time to pretend.

Sagittarius

The Sun into your career sector inconjunct Chiron Rx suggests career issues/future goals may be undercut by a lack of confidence or difficulties with a creative project, children/pregnancy or a new attraction. You may be reminded of what you want but can’t have, or doubts about your abilities to succeed. You may feel that your authority or attempts to upgrade your professional image are compromised. The key is not erasing the doubt or sore spot (it’s not going away anytime soon) but embracing it and making it part of your move forward. In this case, success involves integrating lack of confidence or a failure. How might this encourage you to try harder, go further or tighten up your efforts to succeed? Remember that this is not about raw ego and winning- true success in this case involves awareness of what can go wrong but moving ahead anyway.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your career sector, your sector of personal resources (Saturn Rx) and your sector of routine (Uranus Rx). Changes to your work routines along with the need to focus on income/security can pay off now, as you manifest a professional opportunity. This will be contingent on your previous efforts to make the most of your own resources while updating an approach to work or health. A new job or increase in financial security is possible. Along with the Full Moon in your domestic sector, watch for a result that illuminates your next step forward regarding home, family and career.

Venus in your social sector square Pluto Rx can trigger some demanding social dynamics involving competition, jealousy and manipulation. There may be envy of what others have, or you may be the target of their envy. Underneath the social interactions there will be deeper issues that feel like survival – try to keep things in perspective and understand that an interaction with friends or the group is not life or death. Passive- aggressive dynamics will be in full swing; try to take the high road and don’t get sucked into the drama.

Capricorn

The Sun into your sector of opportunities inconjunct Chiron Rx can trigger old family wounds or current difficulties. Issues involving travel, education, legal matters, exploration, beliefs or publishing can raise some difficult questions about what’s going on at home. The broader perspective is actually a good thing – maybe it’s time to see these old wounds in a new light.

The Grand Earth Trine activates Saturn Rx in your sign, Uranus Rx in your sector of self-expression and the Sun in your opportunities sector. Your responsibilities, authority or focus will anchor you and any new opportunities that are emerging. Keep your eye on what you want and on the future – you have the power to make this happen. The Full Moon in your communication sector adds an announcement, answer or crucial conversation to the above (perhaps a conversation with siblings).

Pluto Rx in your sign square Venus in your career sector suggests that you have your eye on a professional goal or relationship. The desire to succeed is great, but watch that you don’t push things too far or resort to indirect or manipulative tactics to get what you want. Too, you could be the target of manipulation from someone in authority (although they may come off as quite helpful or appealing). Remember that your professional reputation is an issue.

Aquarius

The Sun in your sector of shared resources inconjunct Chiron Rx suggests shared finances, psychological issues or intimacy can trigger some painful conversations or realizations. You may uncover some issues you’d rather not confront or discuss, but putting this into words may be crucial.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your sector of shared resources, your hidden sector (Saturn Rx) and your domestic sector (Uranus Rx). Changes at home/with family (perhaps a significant detachment from the past) can manifest as a natural ending – the conclusion to a chapter. This will involve your willingness to confront the hidden/uncomfortable stuff, but it may not be as bad as you fear. The ending that’s materializing can roll forward and actually increase your sense of control. Now you know what’s happening. Along with the Full Moon in your sector of personal resources, watch for a financial and/or emotional conclusion that involves you releasing old, invalid methods of ensuring your security. Money and personal values have new meaning to you now.

Venus in your sector of opportunities square Pluto Rx can trigger tempting but compulsive events involving long-distance romance, travel, relocation, education, legal matters or publishing. You see where you want to go, or what you want, but deeper motivations may not be fully realized. Don’t allow unconscious efforts to derail an opportunity – keep your eye on the reality of the situation. If this involves a risk, make sure you have a Plan B.

Pisces

The Sun in your partnership sector inconjunct Chiron Rx can raise some painful insecurities regarding a relationship. You may question if you’re good enough, or your partner’s criticisms may undercut your self-esteem. While your existing insecurities are important to acknowledge, know that any situation that makes you feel worse or worthless needs to be examined closely.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your relationship sector, your social sector (Saturn Rx) and your communication sector (Uranus Rx). A social rule, commitment or boundary can define a relationship issue while putting recent changes/new ideas into context. If you’re making a speech, public announcement or reaching out to others, there’s a good chance that your words will be respected, even if you’re offering something new and unusual. Along with the Full Moon in your sign, this could be a major relationship turning point, or turning point involving your public identity and how you connect to others.

Venus in your sector of shared resources square Pluto Rx can stir up an intense attraction or craving for financial/emotional sustenance. You may want far more than is available, and your desire may be rooted in social competition or external power plays. Watch for unbalanced expressions of intimacy or sharing (sharing as an attempt to gain power).

Overview

A week of trines, which means smooth energy and natural (as opposed to forced) events.

Venus and the South Node

August 12th brings a trine between Venus in Libra and the Aquarius South Node. The South Node is the past, and when Venus makes an aspect, you could revisit a past relationship or habitual relationship issue. The ease of the trine suggests an unforced connection. Venus is also making a sextile to the Leo North Node (path forward) so that past connection will enable the progress of this issue.

This aspect refers back to Venus’ trine with Mars Rx in Aquarius from August 7th: repeat/reviewed actions harmonized with what you wanted. Those actions (or romantic connection) will lead to the Venus/South Node developments as a smooth transition from past to future takes place.

Grand Earth Trine

August 12th to 17th features a Grand Earth Trine, as Pluto Rx in Capricorn trines Ceres (nurturing) in Virgo and Juno (partnership agreements) in Taurus. Pluto and Ceres (in any aspect to each other) indicate the cycle of nurturing, growth and loss (endings), but the trine means this will happen naturally. And, it will be part of a necessary evolution that leads to the stability and growth (Earth) of a relationship or contract. Overall, this Grand Trine suggests a powerful moment of transition and the commitment to something solid.

Mercury Direct

Mercury stations direct in Leo on August 19th, ending the retrograde period that began on July 26th. This can indicate answers, clarity and progress in all Mercury-ruled matters (all forms of communication, short journeys, plans, decisions, documents, research, diagnoses).

Jupiter Trine Neptune

Also on August 19th, the last of three trines between Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces occurs. The path of least resistance is activated once again – growth/opportunity/optimism (Jupiter) encourage a dream/fantasy (Neptune Rx). One enables the other by dissolving boundaries (Neptune) and pushing the limits (Jupiter).

This is a potent but sneaky influence, because it happens smoothly and sometimes unexpectedly. Healing and deep intimacy are possible, but so is addiction, regression and avoidance of reality. Any submersive matter can expand, and while Jupiter usually feels good (whether or not it’s actually good for you) sometimes a Jupiter-triggered event can feature immersion in deep sorrow or loss (especially with Scorpio). But Jupiter is also about hope for the future – something to keep in mind if this third trine swamps you. No matter what happens, you are not stuck. These are fluid energies, and Jupiter presses forwards while Neptune transcends.

Aries

Venus in your partnership sector trine the South Node builds on August 7th’s Mars Rx/Venus trine: watch for a reconnect (via friends, groups or social media) with a romantic partner from the past. This could be a friends/lovers scenario where the line between the two was never quite established. Perhaps it’s time to wrap that up. Too, this influence can help you make the most of all social connections (and gain recognition) as you establish a more personal vibe.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your sector of personal resources (Juno) your sector of routine (Ceres) and your career sector (Pluto Rx). Work and finances look good as changes to your career/professional image empower health or work methods. This can solidify a lucrative financial agreement. This energy is all about finding your power as you nurture what’s best for you (including a self-improvement regime).

Mercury direct in your sector of self-expression signals progress on a creative project, new attraction or issue with children/pregnancy. You may find your public voice or receive an inspired idea/happy answer.

Jupiter in your sector of shared resources trine Neptune Rx reactivates potentials from Dec 2nd, 2017 and May 25th, 2018. This is your last chance to tap into a healing current of internal support or private resources. Intimacy or shared finances can increase, but so can an addiction or escapist behaviour.

Taurus

Venus in your sector of routine trine the South Node builds on August 7th’s Mars Rx/Venus trine: a career opportunity could come to fruition, based on a co-worker relationship or your efforts to help another. A work relationship from the past could be reactivated, with an emphasis on the balance of service versus appreciation. What you do for others will be noticed.

The Grand Earth Trine activates Juno in your sign, Ceres in your sector of self-expression and Pluto Rx in your opportunities sector. A partnership or contract can flourish, as attraction, mutual celebration, children or creativity is enhanced. There’s much room for future growth – shared beliefs will empower you both as you join forces to create something special.

Mercury direct in your domestic sector indicates progress around a family discussion, relocation or details about your dwelling/home business. Information from the past (including your childhood) may be key.

Jupiter in your partnership sector trine Neptune Rx reactivates potentials from Dec 2nd, 2017 and May 25th, 2018. Relationship growth based on shared social ideals can continue, and all social connections will flow along the path of least resistance. This can be positive or negative, depending on where that path leads – misleading promises/expectations can be an issue, but so can mutual optimism with a “dream come true” feeling.

Gemini

Venus in your sector of self-expression trine the South Node builds on August 7th’s Mars Rx/Venus trine: an opportunity (involving travel, education, legal matters publishing or exploration) can come to fruition via your creative efforts or the attention you attract. Going further (especially outside your comfort zone) can finally pay off.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your domestic sector (Ceres) your sector of shared resources (Pluto Rx) and your hidden sector (Juno). A domestic relationship or family issues can stabilize, thanks to behind-the-scenes transformations, a change in ingrained habits and a private or unspoken agreement. Private matters will intensify, providing you with a sense of security – the deeper you go regarding sensitive issues, the more benefits you’ll reap. This could be about solidifying trust between you and another.

Mercury direct in your communication sector can give your focus, communication skills and knowledge a real boost. Watch for answers/news you’ve been waiting for, or progress in an ongoing conversation. You may also find that it’s easier to make yourself heard.

Jupiter in your sector of routine trine Neptune Rx reactivates potentials from Dec 2nd, 2017 and May 25th, 2018. A work situation or opportunity can once again gain momentum – watch for a professional ideal or soothing sense of acknowledgment for your efforts. However, if things have been stagnant or unsatisfying, you may be placated by false promises from management, or find it easy to slide into a comforting but unhealthy routine.

Cancer

Venus in your domestic sector trine the South Node builds on August 7th’s Mars Rx/Venus trine: domestic finances, a domestic partnership or your excavation of past/family issues can progress smoothly and favourably. There could be a confirmation of love/devotion. Too, you could access deeper sources of trust in someone else, which will allow to you develop trust in yourself and your ability to flourish.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your communication sector (Ceres) your partnership sector (Pluto Rx) and your social sector (Juno). A key relationship conversation, or relationship communication in general will intensify and stabilize, as you and another explore deeply honest and grounded discussions. A public agreement may be part of this, or acceptance of the changes that one partner is going through. Relationship transformations (or an ending) should occur smoothly – this will unfold naturally.

Mercury direct in your sector of personal resources suggests progress regarding discussions about salary, essential needs or self-esteem. It will be easier for you to clearly state what you want, and financial details can fall into place. Your vision of your financial future can also gain strength as you see what you have to do next.

Jupiter in your sector of self-expression trine Neptune Rx reactivates potentials from Dec 2nd, 2017 and May 25th, 2018. A new attraction, creative efforts or issues involving children/pregnancy can once again manifest a window of possibility, temptation or longing. There could be a dream-come-true opportunity that you simply have to move towards. Or, a fantasy/addiction could take hold. What’s beckoning is desirable, but it’s up to you to decide if it’s healthy.

Leo

Venus in your communication sector trine the South Node builds on August 7th’s Mars Rx/Venus trine: a habitual or past relationship discussion can be pleasant/flirtatious but it’s also a good way of wrapping up a lingering issue (it can be resolved with harmony and grace). If you have something to say, this is the ideal time.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your sector of personal resources (Ceres) your sector of routine (Pluto Rx) and your career sector (Juno). Major changes to health or work routines will be supported by a powerful business partnership, or your agreement to let go of what’s old/unproductive. Security and/or finances can flourish, based on your willingness to empower healthy and productive work/health routines and make the necessary upgrades.

Mercury direct in your sign signals progress and/or answers around anything that’s been delayed, reviewed or repeated. It’s time to run with what you know, because this is the final answer. Mercury direct can also give you more control of what you’re saying, writing or researching.

Jupiter in your domestic sector trine Neptune Rx reactivates potentials from Dec 2nd, 2017 and May 25th, 2018. Domestic finances, a family situation or issues from the past will once gain move along the path of least resistance – this will feel natural and habitual. However, much depends on the quality of of this path; it could feature unhealthy family/historical patterns or an opportunity to increase a private area of abundance. Too, you could grow beyond old/undermining family history, if you’re ready to let go.

Virgo

Venus in your sector of personal resources trine the South Node builds on August 7th’s Mars Rx/Venus trine: financial or emotional security can bloom, as you bring a work or health matter to fruition. The key will be hooking into an ongoing shift that’s urging you to detach from unproductive habits and limiting visions of what your life could be. There’s more that you could be doing.

The Grand Earth Trine activates Ceres in your sign, Pluto Rx in your sector of self-expression and Juno in your sector of opportunities. A key issue that you’ve been nurturing (self-care, your image, physical appearance or identity) can flourish as you align yourself with an intensified urge to create/celebrate/express your true self or talents. This will attract those who want to work with you and support your higher ideals. A lucrative partnership is possible.

Mercury direct in your hidden sector may be subtle, but know that a background issue/secret/unspoken purpose is gaining strength and clarity. There can be an increased understanding of dreams/intuitive flashes as you connect the dots.

Jupiter in your communication sector trine Neptune Rx reactivates potentials from Dec 2nd, 2017 and May 25th, 2018. A partnership issue can be revisited. This may be a promise, illusion, ideal or deeply empathetic discussion. Think back to the last two dates – did the discussion reveal something solid, or was it smoke and mirrors? You’re looking for something real that you can dive into – an area of deep empathy, mutual healing or optimism that will sustain you.

Libra

Venus in your sign trine the South Node builds on August 7th’s Mars Rx/Venus trine: watch for a moment of opportunity involving a romantic attraction, creative project, celebration or children/pregnancy. You can attract what you want as events unfold naturally, and a situation that’s been developing comes to a culmination. An attraction from the past can also resurface.

The Grand Earth trine activates your hidden sector (Ceres) your domestic sector (Pluto Rx) and your sector of shared resources (Juno). A domestic partnership, private agreement or home/family finances can solidify as you tap into an ongoing transformation. A loss or ending may be featured, but it should unfold in a way that’s healing, while confirming a deeper source of security.

Mercury direct in your social sector signals progress/answers involving friends, groups or your public image. A public announcement (that you’ve been waiting for) could be made, or you could finally resolve an issue with a friend/acquaintance. If you’ve been waiting to make a public statement, now’s the time.

Jupiter in your sector of personal resources trine Neptune Rx reactivates potentials from Dec 2nd, 2017 and May 25th, 2018. You could get another shot at a lucrative source of income, based on gradual shifts in your work routine. The process of releasing and healing unproductive daily habits can significantly boost your security -watch for an easy flow between cause and effect. However, if you’ve had issues with addictions or avoidance of reality, this influence can one again enable undermining habits.

Scorpio

Venus in your hidden sector trine the South Node builds on August 7th’s Mars Rx/Venus trine: watch for a secret attraction/desire or hidden potential to unfold, along with habits based on childhood/family history. This could be a moment of gentle fulfillment, however, if your grip on reality is not secure, you may also find that a fantasy/delusion is enabled. It will feel quite natural, but you may be temporarily regressing. Much depends on the quality of your family history.

The Grand Earth Trine activates your communication sector (Pluto Rx) your partnership sector (Juno) and your social sector (Ceres). A relationship agreement can be solidified and deep honesty will be part of it. You may be insisting on an all-or-nothing commitment, or at least an intense agreement. All relationship agreements (social and romantic) can benefit from this, as you tap into a profound idea that feels essential. Others will respond to your passion and conviction.

Mercury direct in your career sector signals progress regarding a job search, discussion with management or a business launch. Professional details can fall into place, and you may finally receive an answer you’ve been waiting for. Also good for making a professional announcement that requires significant public attention.

Jupiter in your sign trine Neptune Rx reactivates potentials from Dec 2nd, 2017 and May 25th, 2018. Once again, you reach a moment of ultimate opportunity regarding a creative project, new romance, performance or children/pregnancy. Events can flow smoothly in your favour, but if you’ve been taking something for granted or overindulging in escapist/unhealthy behaviour, these tendencies can also be exaggerated.
