Astrolore’s Weekly Astrology Weather: September 20, 2021 through September 26, 2021

The Changing Moon this Week

The Moon sets the emotional tone as she moves through the Zodiac day-to-day. It takes approximately 28 days to traverse the entire Zodiac. Learning to work with this rhythm will help you align with and relax into an easier flow with the Universe. The luminous Moon spends approximately 2 ½ days in each sign before she moves on to the next.
___
A tiny brief look at the moon’s progress each day:

Monday: The Pisces Moon is happy, drifty, and dreamy today as it reaches for the Full Moon at 7:55 AM EDT. Contemplate where practical reality supports your dreams and imagination. More information about the Full Moon and how it impacts you will drop into your email box on Monday morning if you are on Astrolore’s email list. The Moon enters assertive Aries at 11:13 PM EDT.

Tuesday: The Moon, newly in Aries comes into opposition with Mars at 7:03 AM EDT. You may feel anger or frustration if you don’t give yourself a physical outlet. Lift weights, go for a run, any solitary physical activity will allow the day to begin without a fuss. If those around you are aggravated, just step aside. At 12:44 PM EDT, the Moon sextile Saturn helping stabilize your emotions for the remainder of the day.

Wednesday: The Moon continues through Aries allowing your internal leader or pioneer to shine. Push forward into the day with courage and determination. At 9:38 PM EDT, the Moon forms a difficult square aspect to Pluto. There are other, non-Moon-related difficulties today so don’t let this one be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Be kind and go to sleep early.

Thursday: At 8:38 AM EDT the Moon enters stable, lovely Taurus, bringing a helpful antidote to the difficulties of yesterday. When the Moon is in Taurus we long for beauty and opulence. Fill your home with flowers or other expressions of style and elegance. At 10:40 PM EDT the Moon square Saturn may leave you feeling shabby and out of sorts. Sleep is the best cure for any late-night Moon difficulty.

Friday: Today’s Taurus Moon steps outside of its usual stability as she has a direct encounter with Uranus at 12:57 PM EDT. You may encounter something surprising or even shocking, something that wakes you to a new vision of loveliness. At 4:16 PM EDT with an opposition to Venus, you may feel great sensitivity or love toward someone in your environment.

Saturday: The Taurus Moon continues with us for most of the day. At 9:10 AM EDT, she forms a flowing trine aspect to Pluto empowering whatever practical plans you have for the day. Take the bull by the horns, plan an activity that involves social connections, or creating beauty. At 8:37 PM EDT, the Moon enters Gemini. You may want to stay up late talking, writing, or gathering information of some sort.

Sunday: Today is a great day for connecting with friends and engaging in various conversations. Interactions should be fun, effortless, but not insignificant. The Gemini Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to the Sun, Saturn, and Mars. Enjoy.

PISCES FULL MOON – ILLUMINATING THE ETHEREAL

My third-floor bedroom windows give me a clear view of the Moon each night. It is one of the things that I love about my tiny apartment and I delight in watching the Moon swell each month in the days before the Full Moon.

Today’s Pisces Moon is happy, drifty, and dreamy as it reaches for the Full Moon which is exact at 7:55 AM EDT. Contemplate where practical reality supports your imagination and ability to dream. This Full Moon brings us to the culmination point of the monthly lunar cycle that began at the Virgo New Moon on September 6th. It also brings us to the full illumination of the larger cycle that began at the Pisces New Moon on March 13th. Think about what began and how you see the results of any actions that began at those times. The Pisces Full Moon brings sensitivity, creativity, intuition, and dreams into focus. You will need to use your more practical side to help bring the ethereal into focus.

Mercury trines Jupiter at 6:52 PM EDT offering an evening of optimism and a general sense of well-being. One great way to use this transit would be to make plans for the future. Think about what you would like to learn or where you would like to travel to in the coming year. Sketch out some plans to bring these desires to reality.  The Moon is VOC after 7:55 PM EDT (making no further major aspect before entering the next sign), therefore complete your date with planning at that point.

The Moon enters assertive Aries at 11:13 PM EDT. The next few days will bring more ability for forceful action and less focus on the intangible and unseen.

_The Pisces Moon is void-of-course from 7:55 PM EDT until she enters Aries at 11:13 PM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._

STEADY ACTION HELPS AVOID CONFLICTS OR MISHAPS

Today’s dynamic assertive Aries Moon is highly activated as she forms an opposition with Mars the ruling planet of Aries at 7:03 AM EDT. This heightens your need for solitary determination and action this morning. You may feel driven to act without delay and without consideration for others. Slow down and wait for this to pass as anger and accidents could result from moving too quickly. 

A physical outlet this morning (steady, not fast) will help you to avoid conflicts or mishaps. Get out for a jog, lift weights, travel a long distance on your stationary bike. Whatever you need to do to move stuck energy without recklessness can prevent serious problems.

At 12:44 PM EDT, the Moon sextiles Saturn stabilizes internal aggravation with a more emotionally mature perspective. If there were any conflicts this morning an apology this afternoon will allow the rest of the day to pass smoothly.

WELCOME THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX – THE SUN ENTERS LIBRA

Today we take the yearly step into Autumn. Western astrology is based on the seasons and each of the signs that signal the change of season is a Cardinal sign. When the Sun enters Aries the season changes to Spring and when the Sun enters Cancer the season turns to Summer. When the Sun enters Libra the season turns once again, this time to Autumn, and when the Sun enters Capricorn the season turns to Winter. These are powerful signs with the job of beginning a new process, starting something new.
 
At 3:20 PM EDT, the Sun enters Libra joining Mars and Mercury who are awaiting the Sun’s arrival. We can no longer deny (here in the Northern Hemisphere) that the days are getting shorter. Your attention turns to how you will occupy the dark months ahead. Libra is the sign that relates to balance, aesthetic beauty, and the development and management of relationships. This is the season to connect with others to help each other get through the dark days ahead and to secure a sense of balance in your emotional body. This is the time to deepen friendships and partnerships and for the development of artistic and creative endeavors.
 
At 9:11 AM EDT Mercury forms a difficult square with Pluto. You may be required to have a conversation that is not easy. Keep your heart and mind steady as you navigate what may be a minefield. Stay true to yourself, keep your personal boundaries clear, and move forward with kindness and truth. As long as you are kind and honest you don’t need to worry about any fallout. If something falls away it is meant to be. 
 
 At 9:38 PM EDT, the Moon forms a difficult square aspect to Pluto, release, let go, head to sleep. Tomorrow will bring another morning and friendships can bloom in this newly minted Libra season.
 
_The Aries Moon is void-of-course from 10:04 PM EDT until she enters Taurus on Thursday morning. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._

EXCITING ENCOUNTERS – PERSONAL FREEDOM

You were probably sleeping when Venus opposed Uranus at 5:40 AM EDT, but the energy it provides will be with us for a day or two. Look for surprising, unexpected, or exciting encounters. Perhaps you will feel the need to find an avenue for personal freedom or even escape. You may be tempted to throw caution to the wind in relationships or finances. Don’t be too hasty as this transit will pass and you will be left to pick up the pieces. Get creative and do something unusual and fun that will not damage existing relationships or break the bank. 
 
At 8:38 AM EDT, the Moon left hot-headed Aries behind to enter the calm stability of Taurus. The Moon in lovely Taurus offers a helpful antidote to yesterday’s challenges as well as Venus’ aspect to Uranus. When the Moon is in Taurus we long for beauty and opulence. Fill your home with flowers or other expressions of style and elegance.
 
At 10:40 PM EDT the Moon square Saturn may leave you feeling shabby and out of sorts. Sleep is the best cure for any late-night Moon difficulty.
 
_The Aries Moon is void-of-course until she enters Taurus at 8:38 AM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._

LIVING IN A HUMAN BODY

Today brings a full day with the Moon in sensual slow-moving Taurus. However, be forewarned that today’s Taurus Moon steps briefly outside of its usual stability as she has a direct conversation with Uranus at 12:57 PM EDT. You may encounter something surprising that wakes you to a new vision of loveliness. It won’t last long so grab the unique gift if it comes your way. At 4:16 PM EDT with the Moon in opposition to Venus, you may feel great sensitivity or love toward someone in your environment. Enjoy this and hold it close while you can.

With the Moon in Taurus immerse yourself in physical sensation, enjoy being embodied. If possible spend time outdoors barefoot on the earth. Listen to the birds and the trees sing. Pay attention to the messages that the earth offers to those who listen. Spend time cuddling and connecting with those you love, human or otherwise. Listen to music, get or give a massage, cook a beautiful meal for your loved ones. Do not pressure yourself. Focus on activities that revolve around comfort and the body. Taurus supports you to build and maintain the practical structures that support your life. When the Moon is in Taurus slow down, quiet down, and spend time in stillness.

ACTION TOWARD STEADY PROGRESS

Today begins with the lovely stable Taurus Moon in a supportive trine aspect to Pluto. This offers a gift of empowerment as you search for beauty and connection. What a wonderful way to start a weekend. Don’t look for wild excitement today, focus on connecting deeply with kind solid folks that support you in being the best of who you can be. 
 
At 5:49 PM EDT Mars, the planet of assertive action forms a flowing trine aspect to Saturn, the planet that matures us and teaches us how to plan for the future. Mars is not at its best in Libra but Saturn will help actions taken now result in steady progress. You may have more patience than usual making this a good time for activities that require careful planning and focus. Your actions are able to be methodical and deliberate. Risk does not appeal to you as you are aware of the need for care and caution. This is a good day for long-term planning.
 
At 8:37 PM EDT, the Moon enters Gemini. You may want to stay up late talking, writing, or gathering information of some sort. You can look forward to a more active, friendly, and social day tomorrow. 
 
_The Taurus Moon is void-of-course from  9:10 AM EDT until she answers Gemini at 8:37 PM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._

EASY REPARTEE & FUN INTERACTIONS

With the Moon in curious quick-paced Gemini, gather information settles your emotions and keeps you feeling connected to others. Make it a point to share and listen to information, stories, perspectives, and ideas. If you feel restless find folks to engage in easy repartee.
Today is a great day for connecting with friends, talking about a variety of topics, and having fun interactions with new and old friends alike. With the Moon in Gemini, your encounters are easy, friendly, even seemingly superficial. This is not the time to engage in powerful or deeply significant conversations. Your mind is simply moving too quickly. Mental stimulation is pleasurable and automatic as you quickly juggle ideas, thoughts, stories, and witty repartee.
Don’t forget to listen as well as speak. When the Moon is in Gemini folks may speak more freely than usual leaving you surprised at what is being said and what you may learn. The Gemini Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to the Sun, Saturn, and Mars throughout the day. This is a great day to simply enjoy a gathering of friends.

In these weekly reports, I explore the major aspects formed by transit between the planets. I do not consider every aspect that the Moon makes each day as they can be numerous and give rise to fleeting moods. The aspects under consideration: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions. The planets I work with: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

 

 

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.”  – Haruki Murakami, ‘Kafka On The Shore’.
