Subject: ✴️ Your Weekly Forecast + Meet Two New Astrologers

Dear Stargazers,


The headline in this week's forecast is the transiting square between Venus and Pluto, which is the first of three that will occur before the end of the year. Although its influence only lasts for a day, any issues that arise are likely to spill over into the coming days, and any words spoken in anger may not be easily forgotten.


In other news, I'm excited to introduce you to two new astrologers who recently completed my professional training and certification program.


It's all below, so let's get started!

ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST
September 14-20 (EST)


Void of Course Moon

These periods are not the best times to start something new or engage in activities that need a definite result.


September 14 —12:00 AM - 02:45 AM

September 15 — 11:31 PM - 12:42 PM, Sept. 16

September 18 — 04:44 PM - 12:55 AM, Sept. 19


Monday, September 14


With the transiting Moon in Scorpio since 2:45 AM, you can expect to start the day with clear intentions about what you want to accomplish today. Should you have to deal with an uncomfortable or even difficult situation, you can count on this lunar influence to help you face it head-on and get to the heart of the matter.


No matter how your day goes, you can count on some assistance from the sextile between the Virgo Sun and Mars in Cancer, an easy flow of energy that can promote opportunities to organize, fix or improve something at work or at home.


Tuesday, September 15


Today marks the first in a series of three squares between Venus in Scorpio and Pluto in Aquarius that will occur before the end of the year. 


Although this influence only lasts for a day, it's an intense energy that can provoke feelings of envy, jealousy and resentment. It can also bring existing grudges and other unresolved issues connected to relationships of all kinds into the open.


Money and shared resources can also be a source of contention at this time.


Whether the situation involves a relationship or finances, issues of power and control may be at the root of it. Whatever comes to light at this time may be upsetting, but getting it out in the open can clear the air and make it easier to address.


That said, when Venus and Pluto repeat the square again in the future, it's possible that the same (or a similar) issue may come up again.


At 11:31 PM, the transiting Moon goes void.


Wednesday, September 16


Given the morning's void moon in Scorpio, it's best to work on routine matters, instead of tasks or assignments that need a definite outcome. 


Once the transiting Moon enters Sagittarius at 12:42 PM, you can count on its optimistic influence to help you pick up the pace. 


However, today is as much about inner awareness as it is about getting things done. The sextile between Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius can bring opportunities for deep psychological or spiritual insights that can change the way you view yourself, your circumstances or a particular situation.


Thursday, September 17


Today's happy-go-lucky Sagittarius Moon suggests that this should be a relatively easy day. 


Although you may be inclined to take things as they come, you could find yourself feeling restless as the day goes on. Given that this lunar influence favors spontaneity, you may decide to make your evening more interesting with a spur-of-the-moment plan.


Friday, September 18


You could find yourself weighing a difficult decision, navigating a delicate conversation or struggling with writer's block. If so, you're probably feeling the influence of today's opposition between Mercury in Libra and Saturn in Aries, a challenging influence that can make it harder to reach a conclusion, find the right words or gather your thoughts. 


Perspective is important today, especially since this influence tends to promote a critical eye that can make it very easy to focus on what's going wrong, rather than on what's going right. 


At 4:44 PM, the transiting Moon goes void for the rest of the day, signaling it's time to put aside anything that needs a definite outcome. If today marks the end of your work week, consider this void moon your personal invitation to relax, socialize or enjoy some alone time.


Saturday, September 19 


At 12:55 AM, the transiting Moon enters Capricorn, an achievement-oriented sign with a well-deserved reputation for keeping its nose to the grindstone, even on weekends and holidays.


If you want to tackle a home-improvement project, get a head start on a work assignment, or need to take care of something that requires persistence, this hard-working lunar influence will serve you well.


And as an added bonus, you'll end the day with the satisfaction of a job well done and the peace of mind that comes from knowing there's one less thing on your to-do list.


Sunday, September 20


Challenging aspects to today’s Capricorn Moon may make it harder to understand or express your feelings. On the other hand, you may know exactly how you feel but simply prefer to keep it to yourself. 


Either way, this could make personal conversations a little more difficult, especially if you expect someone else to know what's bothering you without telling them. Rather than shutting down or assuming you won’t be understood, try to be clear about what you need. If something needs to be addressed, it's best to get it out in the open so it can be resolved.
