Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until Tuesday night (Sept.16th). With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.
Self-care is key until Tuesday night!
Monday, Uranus resumes its typical pace through the sky, ending its station (remaining in its retrograde motion in Gemini).
What has come up in the last 3.5 weeks concerning radical changes in your thinking? Or around what needs to change about your thinking regarding the future? Or relating to freedom in your day-to-day interactions?
How are you doing with honoring your individuality or idiosyncrasies? The Retrograde phase is an excellent time to do some internal work in this area (retrograde ends Feb. 3rd, 2026).
Monday late evening, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 11:04pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday morning (Sept. 12th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday, late morning (Sept. 19th).
This aspect helps our one-on-one relationships, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them — and if we’re not in a long-term committed relationship, we’ll get some help in connecting with others — online or in person.
This could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general.
Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us; we have to make them happen.
Ask yourself: What collaborations might lead to a valuable experience, authentic connection, or joyful interaction?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or any personal planets in 23-28 degrees of Leo, Libra, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 3:50am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from today (Monday) late morning on; it will remain strong until Tuesday night.
This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.
Ask yourself: What have I been avoiding or rejecting about myself? Where have I been trying to “fix” myself? What might a compassionate inner dialogue and self-acceptance do for me?
This boils down to feeling “stumped” — we feel like we can’t get our head around things or make decisions.
As best as you can, be kind and compassionate to yourself. Ask yourself: Could I hang out with the inner discomfort this is stirring up, just for right now?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-27 degrees of Virgo or Aries? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)
