Astro Forecast, September 3-9

Welcome to the first full week of September! Though some of us are naturally sad to see Summer fade out of view, the fall season brings a lot more progress & stability to our lives... and it all starts this week!

Watch the video below to observe the planetary movement that will correlate to world events this week:

Sunday ~

Sunday gifted us with the ingress of the Moon into lovely Taurus. The Moon is exalted and her will is honored in Venus' earthy home. After the Moon's harsh encounter with Mars the previous day, she breathes a major sigh of relief come Sunday. Though the Moon turns away from petty Mars in Libra, she does face interactions with the rest of the heavenly bodies.

A sextile to Saturn is her first conversation, which emphasizes the importance of wisdom and learning from your mistakes. Once she passes the minor Saturn guilt-tripping, she applies a trine to the Sun which makes for logical & grounded compromises between what we want to do and what we have to do.

Oh!!!!! And Venus (the ruler of the Moon this day) stations direct after being retrograde (fucking up every relationship & love life) since July 22nd. We will all experience an extended Venus transit in Leo this year, and the party won't be over until October. The post-shadow phase is what Venus will enter, from now until October 7th when she finally moves past 28 degrees of Leo. It's interesting to note that she stationed retrograde so close to the border of Virgo; its like she thought she was about to be done with one thing, but decided to completely scrap half of an almost-finished project to make it cleaner and better. Think to the events shared between yourself and others from the better part of July until now... expect a re-evaluation of those topics in the coming weeks.

Monday ~

Monday is just... beautiful in nature. Even though Jupiter stations retrograde :/

It's really laughable how one benefic stations direct, just to have the other station retrograde. Day births will certainly be more affected with a Jupiter retrograde, than a Venus one (the opposite can be said for Night births though; you lucky bastards!!!).

Anyway,

Moon in Taurus, caught between the rays of Jupiter & Venus. Wow!!!! I envy the children born under this auspicious weather. When a planet is caught between the rays of the benefics, it's called "Bonification." This event is like a sacred act of protection that the skies grant us for a limited window of time. It really depends on your chart and various other factors to determine how much goodness you are able to reap, but overall the vibes are pretty nice in comparison to the vibes during malefic-heavy days. Looks especially cute for fixed-sign people.

The Moon also perfects her trine to the Sun, and later to Mercury (who is stationed retrograde). Like I said for Sunday, logical compromises continue to be maid- especially agreements involving money. The connection between the Moon & Mercury makes me think that there are positive stories being shared, and hopefully positive updates on events that happened in the recent past.

Edit: Would like to point out that this is the first time in a WHILE we have experienced the Moon in Taurus, ruled by a direct Venus. This won't feel like the Taurus Moons that had a sickly Venus in charge.

Tuesday ~

The Moon moves past her connections from the day before and continues on her path with internal feelings of bravery and courage. I say this because she is fated to enter Gemini by Tuesday afternoon, where she turns away from Jupiter and faces less-than-rosy connections to other planets.

The Moon's first conversation is with Saturn, whom she shares a disagreement with in terms of values, speed, and understanding. The Moon in Gemini values the swiftness of things, cleverness of the spoken word, and the knowledge of many conflicting things. Saturn in Pisces values emotional discipline, connecting through shared pain, and the wisdom that comes with waiting a long time. Accepting things for what they are will cause a lot less stress, though sometimes speaking up may be the necessary thing to do!

The Moon's second conversation is an agreement with Mars in Libra. The Moon and Mars are considered allies when placed in signs of the same element. This can make way for compromises involving malice- either by an unfair deal or an agreement that inadvertently causes discomfort for others. Keep in mind that "harm" can mean many things, such as a boss asking an employee to perform a less-than-desirable (but reasonable) task at work.

Wednesday ~

Wednesday brings the actual drama of the week... The Moon in Gemini makes a harsh aspect to her ruler, Mercury- who is retrograde as we know. Whenever a planet makes a harsh aspect to their ruler, it usually indicates frustration in getting important things done- especially ones that lie out of your comfort zone; akin to fighting with a teacher who only wishes to help you understand the subject matter better. The same aspect is made between the Moon and Sun, which can be described as a clash between your internal and external worlds. Controlling your reaction to things out of your control is going to be key today!

THOUGH the Moon is having these less-than-comfy disagreements, she is at least able to get help! We experience ripples of that alignment. The Moon is fortunate to have access to her ruler, Mercury in Virgo (even if the retrograde makes Mercury's will a bit murky). Life's a balance of sorts isn't it? :)

Thursday ~

The Moon moves past the undesirable connections from the day before and remains a bit listless through the rest of Gemini. She isn't maing any further connections, so she trudges on in the mercurial sign. It seems the lot of us find relief in the nighttime, especially after 10pm PDT. Get your rest in today and focus on calming any racing thoughts that may be bubbling up internally. Reach for the things that cool you down.

Friday ~

The Moon entered her home sign the night before, meaning that half of us are waking up in a bed that is too cozy to get out of or rested & enjoying the calm of the morning. Either way is a perfectly good excuse to treat yourself to a comfort food of your choice. It should honestly be federally mandated that everyone completes a cozy task when the Moon is in Cancer.

Either way, Friday puts us in situations that make use of our wisdom and intuition. Be open to receiving advice from those older than you, especially when it comes to lessons about artistry, long-term care, and those internal milestones you only achieve when you've experienced tough things.

The Moon in Cancer does square Mars in Libra, which can cause new confrontations or disagreements to arise. This one I'm not so worried about, as the Moon has an upper hand on Mars seeing that she is strengthened in her own sign, while Mars is weakened in Libra. Being good to your core will help you overcome the pettiness and verbal battles of Friday.

Saturday ~

The Moon separates from the malefic battles of Friday, and eases into a more agreeable territory. We're all coming into the weekend facing much more relief than the previous week was able to give us. The Moon sends positive aspects to Jupiter, the Sun, and Mercury which reflects harmonious unions between friends, fathers, and siblings. These connections are drying in nature, seeing at the Moon is in a wet and sign and only connecting to dry earth signs. If you don't have the emotional energy to do things, don't feel bad about cancelling or rescheduling! Should you want to connect with others, it is likely to find validating & grounding company- especially since the week's events drove us all a bit mad. Stay positive and trust the process of fate. <3

If you've made it this far, drop a like or let me know if you enjoy these :) have a fabulous week my stars!!!!
