Astrological Highlights This Week:
Weekly Overview: September 30 – October 6, 2024
This week offers a powerful blend of discipline, change, and release. It begins on Monday with Mars trine Saturn, bringing a sense of grounded determination. Efforts toward long-term goals are supported by steady focus, and with the Sun conjunct Mercury, clear communication and sharp thinking follow in the evening. The Libra Moon on Tuesday and Wednesday emphasize balance and harmony in relationships, but the New Moon Solar Eclipse on Wednesday marks a pivotal turning point. Being a South Node Eclipse, it calls for release, urging you to let go of old patterns in partnerships or personal life that no longer serve your highest good.
The intensity deepens as Thursday’s Libra Moon gently holds the space for continued reflection on harmony, leading into Friday’s Moon square Pluto. This aspect pushes for uncomfortable but necessary emotional truths, followed by the Moon’s entry into Scorpio, where transformation takes center stage. Friday and Saturday encourage diving deep, exploring buried feelings, and facing any shadows that surface. The Mercury square Mars on Sunday morning could spark tension, especially around communication, but the Moon’s shift into Sagittarius by evening brings much-needed relief and a fresh, expansive outlook to close the week on a hopeful, forward-looking note.

GRACEFUL CONNECTIONS – Thursday, October 3, 2024
With the Moon in Libra throughout the day, the focus remains on relationships, harmony, and finding balance in interacting with others.

FACING THE DEPTHS – Friday, October 4, 2024
The Moon in Libra starts the day with a challenging square to Pluto just before it enters Scorpio at 7:23 a.m. EDT. This early morning aspect may stir up intense emotions or reveal hidden power dynamics within relationships. The square to Pluto invites us to face hidden issues, particularly in areas where we may feel a lack of control or where power imbalances exist. While Libra seeks harmony, Pluto digs beneath the surface, demanding that we confront deeper issues before peace can be found.
As the Moon enters Scorpio, the tone shifts from seeking balance to embracing depth and transformation. Scorpio’s influence calls us to go beyond superficial solutions and dive into what is real, raw, and transformative. Reflect on your deepest emotions and allow yourself to feel what is beneath the surface. Whether needing deeper emotional connection or facing personal shadows, today allows you to embrace change and growth, even if it feels intense.
Questions for reflection:
- What deeper truths am I being asked to confront within myself or my relationships?
- How can facing uncomfortable emotions lead to greater transformation?
- Where can I release control and allow change to happen naturally?
THE POWER WITHIN – Saturday, October 5, 2024
The day begins with a Mercury square Mars aspect, stirring the potential for sharp words or conflicts. You may notice frustration bubbling up this morning, especially if communication feels tense or misunderstandings arise. Mercury governs the mind and communication, while Mars represents action and assertiveness. This square can provoke impatience or even arguments. Be mindful of how you express yourself today—it’s easy to speak impulsively under this influence. However, this tension can also bring important hidden information to the surface, allowing you to clear the air and find clarity.
The Moon remains in Scorpio for most of the day, deepening emotional intensity and encouraging you to face unresolved issues with honesty and courage. Powerful change is in the air, and while it may feel challenging, this is an opportunity to release emotional baggage and step into greater freedom.
At 7:33 p.m. EDT, the Moon enters Sagittarius, bringing a welcome shift toward optimism and expansion. The heaviness of the day lifts, and you can experience desire for adventure or a new perspective. After working through the intensity, the evening offers a chance to lighten up and look forward with hope.
Questions for reflection:
- How can I express my frustrations constructively rather than impulsively?
- What emotional truths do I need to confront and release today?
- Where can I channel today’s tension into growth and forward movement?

Astrological Highlights This Week:
Patty’s garden – end of Summer
This week begins with a reflective tone as the Disseminating Moon in Gemini encourages us to share our insights and open ourselves to meaningful dialogue. As the week unfolds, Tuesday brings a series of dynamic shifts with Mercury’s trine to Uranus, the Moon entering Cancer, and a Last Quarter Moon. The Mercury-Uranus trine brings flashes of creative thinking and innovation, while the Last Quarter Moon in Cancer asks us to emotionally release what no longer serves us, clearing the way for deeper inner peace.
Midweek, the energies intensify as Mercury opposes Neptune and the Moon conjuncts Mars in Cancer. The Neptune influence creates a hazy mental space, where confusion and idealism can blur reality, while the Moon-Mars conjunction stirs up emotional impulses that may need careful handling. By Thursday, this tension softens as Mercury trines Neptune in the early morning, creating a gentle flow of inspiration and compassion. Mercury then shifts into Libra, initiating a period focused on harmony and balance in our thinking, just as the Moon moves from Cancer’s nurturing embrace to Leo’s bold confidence by evening.
As the week wraps up, the Moon in Leo brings vibrant and expressive energy on Friday and Saturday, encouraging creativity, joy, and personal radiance. On Sunday, the mood shifts again with the Moon’s entrance into grounded Virgo, pulling us back toward practicality, precision, and self-refinement. This week’s celestial movements invite emotional reflection and moments of creative self-expression, balanced by a need for structure and clarity as the week comes to an end.
EMBRACE DUALITY – Monday, September 23, 2024
EXCITEMENT AND EMOTIONAL CURRENTS – Tuesday, September 24, 2024
NAVIGATING THE FOG – Wednesday, September 25, 2024
Today begins with Mercury opposing Neptune at 7:06 AM EDT, casting a veil over your usual clarity of thought. Neptune’s influence creates a fog that can distort perception, leaving you vulnerable to misunderstandings or idealistic thinking. This transit can make it difficult to distinguish between fact and fantasy, especially in conversations or decisions. While the potential for confusion is high, this alignment also heightens intuition, creativity, and spiritual insight. If you can lean into your inner guidance without losing sight of practical reality, this opposition offers a chance to tap into deeper layers of imagination and emotional understanding.
At 8:39 AM EDT, the Moon in Cancer briefly conjuncts Mars, adding a minor surge of emotional intensity. While this alignment can stir irritability or impulsiveness, especially in family matters, it is more of a background influence compared to Mercury-Neptune. The Moon-Mars conjunction might push you to act on your feelings quickly, but any heightened reactions will likely fade as the day progresses. Use the grounding energy of this conjunction to channel your emotions into something productive, while keeping your focus on navigating the mental fog brought on by the Mercury-Neptune opposition.
Introspective Questions:
- How can I stay clearheaded while navigating confusion or idealism today?
- What emotions are pushing me to act, and how can I express them constructively?
- How can I use today’s heightened intuition to see through illusions?
The day begins with Mercury trine Neptune, offering a soft glow of imagination and intuition. Where yesterday’s opposition brought confusion, today’s trine smooths the waters, inviting clarity through creativity and compassion. This is a day where your dreams, both literal and metaphorical, may speak louder than logic. Conversations may feel inspired, with deeper emotional undertones. Embrace idealism and vision, allowing yourself to think and communicate from a place of open heart.
Soon after, Mercury enters Libra, shifting mental focus toward balance, fairness, and diplomacy. Mercury is thoughtful in Libra, seeking pleasure and harmony in relationships. Over the next few weeks, you may find yourself weighing different perspectives, valuing cooperation, and striving to resolve conflicts gracefully.
Throughout most of the day, the Moon remains in Cancer, emphasizing emotional sensitivity and the need for connection. But at 6:48 PM EDT, the Moon moves into bold Leo, marking a shift from introspection to expression. As the evening unfolds, you may desire to step out, socialize, or creatively express yourself. The Leo Moon encourages playfulness, confidence, and self-expression.
Introspective Questions:
- How can I embrace today’s creative energy and use it to envision something meaningful in my life?
- Where do I seek harmony or balance, and how can I bring fairness to those situations?
- How can I confidently express myself while staying connected to my emotional needs?
RADIANT EXPRESSION – Friday, September 27, 2024
With the Moon in Leo today, a vibrant and playful energy is in the air. Leo brings a desire for self-expression, creativity, and warmth. You might feel a stronger need to be seen, appreciated, and to shine in your most unique manner. This is a perfect day for embracing joy, stepping into the spotlight, or pursuing something that brings you pride, joy, and satisfaction. Whether through creative endeavors, social connections, or simply showing up as your most authentic self, Leo’s warmth reminds you to lead with heart and confidence.
Introspective Questions:
- How can I express my true self with more confidence and joy today?
- In what areas of my life do I need to embrace playfulness and creativity?
- What brings me a sense of pride, and how can I celebrate that today?
BOLD HEART – Saturday, September 28, 2024
With the Moon entering Virgo at 5:42 AM EDT, today brings a focus on refining what’s around you and recognizing untapped potential. With the Moon in Virgo, we feel called to practical action. We may see clearly where improvements can be made, not through critique, but to nurture growth. This is an ideal time to organize, plan, or take small but impactful steps toward improvement. Virgo’s sharp awareness of the physical world allows you to understand what needs adjustment, from your environment to your daily routines. Trust your instincts to help you fine-tune details that may lead to lasting change.
Virgo’s humility is also key today. While there’s a natural drive to improve things, when the Moon is in Virgo we do not seek recognition, but to be of quiet, meaningful service. Use today’s influence to make subtle but important shifts in your approach—whether it’s a project, relationship, or personal goal. By paying attention to what can be refined, and doing so with care and humility, you can set the stage for progress that extends beyond the immediate moment.
Introspective Questions:
- What small, practical steps can I take today to nurture growth in my life?
- How can I use my physical awareness to notice what needs refinement in my environment or routine?
- How can I humbly make a difference without seeking recognition?

Astrological Highlights This Week:
This week offers a rich tapestry of astrological events that invite reflection and the welcoming of deep change. Beginning on Monday, with the Moon entering compassionate Pisces, you may feel heightened empathy and emotional awareness.

PISCES FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE – Tuesday, September 17, 2024
FACING RESISTANCE – Wednesday, September 18, 2024
Early this morning, Mercury in Libra opposes Saturn in Pisces at 4:50 AM EDT, setting a more serious tone for communication and thought processes. This aspect might bring feelings of mental pressure or limitations, as Saturn’s influence can make you more aware of responsibilities, fears, or delays in expressing yourself. Conversations might feel heavier, and there could be a sense of being held back or needing to weigh your words. While this can be frustrating, it’s also an opportunity to engage in disciplined thinking and confront any obstacles with patience and persistence.
While Mercury’s opposition to Saturn may slow you down, it also offers a chance to build something lasting and meaningful. Focus attention on communications that have long-term consequences and require courage and careful planning.
The Moon also entered Aries this morning, shifting the emotional tone toward action, assertiveness, and independence. Aries, ruled by Mars, inspires a fiery desire to forge ahead, take initiative, and face challenges head-on. This energy can be invigorating, pushing you to tackle tasks with renewed determination and a pioneering spirit. However, be mindful of impulsiveness or a tendency to rush into situations without careful thought.
Introspective Questions:
- Where am I being called to take bold action despite potential obstacles?
- How can I balance my desire for immediate results with the need for patience and careful planning?
- What responsibilities or fears surface in my thoughts, and how can I approach them with determination and wisdom?
EMBRACE CHANGE – Thursday, September 19, 2024
The Moon continues its journey through Aries today, keeping the atmosphere charged with energy and a strong desire for independence. You feel driven to take initiative and pursue your goals with determination. Aries encourages you to act with confidence and courage, helping you overcome any inertia or hesitation that may have been holding you back. Trust your instincts today and remember to balance your assertiveness with consideration for others.
At 10:04 AM EDT, the Sun in Virgo forms a harmonious trine with Uranus in Taurus, bringing a burst of innovative and unexpected insights. Uranus is the planet of sudden change and awakening, and when it aligns positively with the Sun, it offers a chance to break free from old patterns and embrace new perspectives. This aspect can inspire you to think outside the box and to welcome change rather than resist it. You might find new solutions to old problems or feel more open to exploring unconventional ideas.
To understand where this dynamic energy impacts your life, find where Taurus falls in your natal chart. This is where you are being encouraged to innovate and embrace change. You have been building a more authentic expression in this part of your life since 2018. The transformation in this area of your life will wrap up in 2026. There is still work to do to complete the process.
Introspective Questions:
- Where in my life am I being called to embrace change and innovation?
- How can I balance my desire for independence with the need to remain grounded and practical?
- What new perspectives or insights are emerging, and how can I integrate them into my life moving forward?
CLARITY VS DREAMS – Friday, September 20, 2024
The Moon moves into Taurus at 5:03 AM EDT, bringing a sense of stability and calm after the energetic drive of the previous days. Taurus values comfort, security, and the pleasures of the physical world. Seek activities that help you feel grounded, spend time in nature, enjoy good food, and relax in a comfortable environment. Focus on what brings you peace and take practical steps toward creating a more secure foundation in your life.
At 8:16 PM EDT, the Sun in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces. This suggests a tension between the clarity and precision of Virgo and the dreamy, elusive energy of Neptune. You may be unclear or confused about certain aspects of your life, especially those related to the houses that hold Virgo and Pisces in your natal chart. This also suggests the possibility of disillusionment, as boundaries blur, making it difficult to see reality. On a more positive note, this can provide an opportunity to explore your intuition, release rigid expectations, and allow yourself to flow with the currents of the natural world.
Introspective Questions:
- How can I bring more stability and grounding into my life today?
- Where am I experiencing confusion or uncertainty, and how can I trust the process rather than forcing clarity?
- What dreams or ideals am I holding onto, and how can I balance them with practical, real-world steps?
PRACTICALITY AND WISDOM – Saturday, September 21, 2024
At 2:11 AM EDT the Sun, still in Virgo forms a harmonious trine with Pluto in Capricorn. This aspect encourages you to explore your power and make meaningful changes in your life. It’s time to embrace a more authentic version of yourself. The Sun’s trine to Pluto supports you in shedding old layers, offering clarity and the strength to move forward with purpose.
At 6:24 AM EDT, the Moon enters Gemini, lightening the mood and infusing the day with curiosity and a desire for connection.
At 8:43 AM EDT, the Sun enters Libra, marking the Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere— the Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. This is a time of balance between day and night. As we enter Libra season, summer is left behind and you are invited to focus on social harmony, relationships, and creating a sense of equilibrium in your life. This is a time to reflect on how you can bring more fairness and beauty into your interactions and surroundings.
The evening brings intense emotional dynamics as Venus in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn at 5:14 PM EDT, followed by Venus entering Scorpio at 10:35 PM EDT. The square to Pluto can bring underlying tensions in relationships to the surface, revealing power struggles, deep desires, or hidden fears. This energy can feel intense, but it also offers an opportunity for profound emotional change. This square to Pluto prepares Venus to enter Scorpio, where her focus shifts to deeper connections, intimacy, and emotional honesty. Scorpio’s influence encourages you to explore the depths of your relationships, seeking authenticity and meaningful bonds.
Introspective Questions:
- What areas of my life are calling for deep empowerment and renewal?
- How can I create more balance and harmony in my relationships and surroundings?
- What about my desires and relationships are coming into focus, and how can I embrace them with honesty and courage?

Eclipses open up longer-lasting windows for change, inviting you to pivot in a new direction. While the nodes remain in Aries/Libra, this eclipse is the first on the Pisces/Virgo axis, signaling a shift in a new area of your life. To embrace this shift, consider what old doors need to close to make space for what is new. It’s a time to cultivate compassion for others, but be mindful not to overextend yourself. Pluto’s recent move back into Capricorn plays a key role, encouraging you to revisit past themes to welcome change fully. This lunation happens on September 17, 2024, at 10:34 pm EDT, linking back to the Virgo New Moon on September 2, 2024, and the Pisces New Moon on March 10, 2024.

This combination offers an opportunity for meaningful change, grounded in healing and spiritual insight.

AN EXPANSIVE PERSPECTIVE – Tuesday, September 10, 2024
BUILDING MOMENTUM – Wednesday, September 11, 2024
Today, the First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius, asks that we take action on intentions set during the New Moon on September 2nd. This is a time to make decisions and overcome any obstacles that arise. With the Moon in Sagittarius, actions are guided by a sense of adventure and enthusiasm. The challenge is to balance optimism with the practical steps needed to turn dreams into reality.
As the day progresses, the Moon shifts into Capricorn at 10:38 PM EDT, bringing more grounded and disciplined energy to the next few days. Capricorn encourages us to channel our Sagittarian visions into structured, tangible efforts. The expansive Sagittarian energy shifts to the focused Capricorn influence we are reminded that while it’s essential to dream big, it is at least as important to build a solid foundation for those dreams.
Use this First Quarter Moon to assess your progress. Where do you need to adjust your plans? What resources do you need to move forward? As the Moon enters Capricorn, focus on practical strategies and long-term planning, ensuring that your actions are effective as well as inspired.
Introspective Questions:
- What actions will I take today to move closer to my goals?
- How will I balance enthusiasm with practicality in my efforts?
- Where will I become more disciplined to turn my dreams into reality?
TAMING EXUBERANCE – Thursday, September 12, 2024
The Sun forms a square with Jupiter early this morning, bringing a surge of energy that can feel both exhilarating and overwhelming. This aspect often amplifies our desires, making everything seem bigger, bolder, and more urgent. While this can inspire us to reach for the stars, there’s also the risk of overextending ourselves or promising more than we can deliver. It’s important to temper enthusiasm with a realistic understanding of our limits.
The tension between the Sun and Jupiter offers an opportunity to refine your approach. Ask yourself if your expectations are inflated and how to align your vision with reality. Balancing optimism with pragmatism will ensure that your efforts are bold and sustainable.
The Moon remains in Capricorn, providing a grounding influence that helps us manage the expansive energy of the day. Capricorn’s steady and disciplined nature encourages us to focus on practical goals and to channel our ambition into concrete achievements. Rather than getting caught up in unrealistic possibilities, use the day to create a structured plan for bringing your aspirations to life.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I align my goals with reality?
- How will I harness today’s enthusiasm in a way that leads to tangible results?
- What steps can I take to ensure my ambitions are realistic and achievable?
STEADY PROGRESS – Friday, September 13, 2024
The Moon remains in Capricorn today, encouraging us to focus on responsibility, discipline, and the pursuit of long-term goals. Capricorn seeks slow and steady progress, reminding us that success often comes through persistence and hard work rather than quick fixes. Today is well-suited for tackling tasks that require patience and dedication.
Allow yourself to be guided by Capricorn’s wisdom, which teaches us the value of perseverance and careful planning. Whether you’re managing your work, organizing your home, or setting personal goals, this is a day to build a solid foundation for the future.
Introspective Questions:
- What steps will I take today to lay a strong foundation for my long-term goals?
- How will I cultivate patience and persistence in my daily life?
- What responsibilities or commitments need my focused attention today?

VIRGO NEW MOON: PLANTING SEEDS FOR ORDER – Monday, September 2, 2024
When the Moon is in Virgo, there is a heightened attention to detail and an urge to bring order to chaos. This is a day for practical efforts, where you may find yourself naturally inclined to tidy up your environment, organize your thoughts, or refine your daily routines.
At 9:56 pm EDT, the New Moon occurs at 11 degrees Virgo, signaling a powerful opportunity for a fresh start in your practical routines or health practices. The New Moon in Virgo emphasizes the importance of small, practical aspects of life—those daily routines and habits that support our overall well-being. This is a time to assess where you can bring more order, structure, and care into your life. Find where Virgo is located in your natal chart; this house indicates the area of life where the new lunar cycle begins for you. Here, you are invited to perform a ritual to plant a symbolic or metaphorical seed. The focus of this seed must be on intentions that will grow over the coming weeks and months. Consider what you want to develop in this part of your life and set your intentions thoughtfully.
Introspective Questions:
- Where will I set a new intention to bring more order and growth to the area of life governed by Virgo in my chart?
- Where will I nurture the small details in my life to create a stronger foundation for future growth?
- What practical steps will I take today to ensure that my intentions for this lunar cycle are grounded and achievable?
MARS SQUARE NEPTUNE: NAVIGATING UNCERTAINTY – Tuesday, September 3, 2024
Today, Mars squares Neptune at 12:09 am EDT. This is an important transit that will present a challenge regarding your desired movement forward. You may feel confusion which blurs the lines between reality and illusion. The seeds of this challenge were planted during the Mars-Neptune conjunction in late April 2024. Over the next few days, you must face whatever has been unclear or unresolved since then. This urges you to confront any disillusionment and take decisive steps forward, even if the path ahead seems murky. Remain grounded and avoid the temptation to act on impulse or fall into escapism. Lean into patience and discernment as you navigate this complex energy.
The Moon remains in Virgo, offering a stabilizing influence amid the uncertainty of the Mars-Neptune square. Virgo’s energy encourages careful attention to detail and practical problem-solving, helping you to maintain clarity in your thoughts and actions. Use this grounding energy to focus on small, manageable tasks that bring order and structure to your day. The Virgo Moon reminds us that, even when larger forces feel beyond our control, we can find solace in the simple, everyday routines that keep us centered and productive.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I confront the challenges that have emerged since the Mars-Neptune conjunction in April 2024?
- How will I rely on patience and discernment to navigate through uncertainty?
- Where will I use the practical energy of the Virgo Moon to bring clarity and order to my day?
MARS ENTERS CANCER: THE DRIVE TO NURTURE & PROTECT – Wednesday, September 4, 2024
The day begins with the Moon in Virgo, urging you to complete tasks and focus on the details of your life. This is a time to tidy up loose ends, ensuring everything is in its proper place. Take advantage and organize your thoughts and surroundings early today.
At 12:12 pm EDT, the Moon moves into Libra, shifting the focus from the practical to the relational. Libra desires harmony and balance, encouraging you to seek peace in your interactions and surroundings. This transition invites you to shift your attention from solitary tasks to the connections you share with others, striving for harmony and calm in your relationships.
At 3:46 pm EDT, Mars leaves Gemini and enters Cancer, remaining until November 3rd. Mars, the planet of action and drive, is more introspective and protective in Cancer. Cancer wants to nurture others which is not a natural state for Mars. This can leave Mars feeling somewhat restrained compared to its preferred fiery nature. Instead of charging forward, Mars in Cancer asks you to focus on defending and nurturing what you care about most. It’s time to pursue goals that resonate with your emotional needs and protect your boundaries.

When the Moon is in Libra, one of the two signs ruled by Venus, the focus is on harmony, beauty, and relationships. Unlike Taurus, Venus’s other sign, which seeks stability and comfort in the physical world, Libra’s energy is more concerned with balance and fairness in social dynamics.

MERCURY SQUARE URANUS: UNSETTLED MIND – Saturday, September 7, 2024
In the early hours of this morning, Mercury forms a tense square with Uranus, sparking sudden insights, unexpected news, or disruptions in our usual patterns of thought. This energy can feel unsettling, as Mercury’s need for clarity clashes with Uranus’s desire for radical change. Over the next few days, your mind may race with new ideas or wrestle with unconventional perspectives that challenge the status quo. This is a time to stay open to new possibilities, but be mindful of impulsive decisions or communication that could lead to misunderstandings.
As the Moon slips into Scorpio in the early morning, the emotional landscape deepens, drawing us into a more intense and introspective state. Scorpio, a sign known for its passion and depth, encourages us to confront our hidden feelings and desires with honesty. This lunar energy is transformative, urging you to dive beneath the surface of your emotions and relationships to uncover what truly matters. Today, allow yourself to explore the depths of your inner world, trusting that what you find there will guide you toward greater emotional truth.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I stay grounded while navigating sudden shifts in my thoughts or plans?
- How will I embrace emotional depth without becoming overwhelmed by it?

SUN OPPOSES SATURN: A RECKONING – Sunday, September 8, 2024
In the early hours, the Sun opposes Saturn, bringing a reckoning for something significant that began at the conjunction between them in late February. At that time a seed was planted that involved building a structure to support a dream that you have in the house that holds Pisces in your natal chart. This opposition sheds light on the results of that serious undertaking, revealing where your efforts have led and what lessons you have learned. The clarity of this transit may highlight the challenges and difficulties you’ve faced, but it also offers the opportunity to see the strength and resilience you’ve developed. Today, embrace the insights gained from this arduous journey and use them to make necessary adjustments as you move forward.
As the Moon continues through Scorpio, the emotional intensity of the day encourages you to connect with your deepest feelings. Scorpio’s influence brings a magnetic pull toward the hidden and mysterious, urging you to confront unresolved emotions or secrets. This is a time for introspection and empowerment, where you might feel compelled to explore the depths of your relationships and your psyche. Allow this energy to guide you toward greater emotional authenticity, even if it means facing something decidedly uncomfortable.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I use the lessons from the past 6 months to strengthen my resolve in the house that holds Pisces in my natal chart?

Tuesday, August 27, 2024: Wake-Up Call
Venus forms a trine with Uranus in the wee hours of the morning, delivering a vibrant wake-up call that sets the tone for the day. This aspect brings a fresh perspective to our relationships, creativity, and personal values. This is a time to embrace the unexpected with an open heart. Uranus, the planet of innovation and surprise, shakes up the status quo, urging us to break free from routine and explore new possibilities. Whether it’s an unexpected encounter, a sudden creative inspiration, or a shift in perspective, today offers a chance to infuse your life with excitement and positive change. Allow yourself to be spontaneous, and let this energy guide you toward greater authenticity and freedom in your connections and endeavors.
The Moon in Gemini conjuncts both Jupiter and Mars today, amplifying dynamic and expansive energy. The Moon’s conjunction with Jupiter expands our emotional horizons, fostering optimism and a desire to connect with others on a deeper level. This influence encourages bold thinking and a willingness to explore new ideas. When the Moon meets Mars, it adds an assertive, action-oriented layer, pushing us to take decisive steps in expressing our emotions and pursuing our goals.

Wednesday, August 28, 2024: Mercury Stations Direct
The Moon enters Cancer at 4:48 AM EDT, bringing a nurturing, protective energy to the day as we turn inward and focus on the emotional well-being of ourselves and those we love. Cancer is the sign of home, family, and deep emotional roots, making this a time to seek comfort in familiar surroundings and connect with loved ones. You may find yourself more sensitive and attuned to the needs of those around you, as well as more in touch with your inner world. Engage in self-care practices that soothe and replenish your spirit. Whether it’s spending time with family, cooking a comforting meal, or simply allowing yourself to feel, the Moon in Cancer supports all forms of emotional nourishment and sensitivity.
Venus opposes Neptune at 4:24 PM EDT, casting a dreamy, ethereal light on relationships and desires. This aspect can blur the lines between reality and fantasy, making it difficult to see our situations and circumstances clearly. While this can be a time of heightened creativity and spiritual connection, it also carries the risk of idealizing situations or people. Be cautious of getting lost in illusions or wishful thinking, especially in matters of the heart. The key is to balance your dreams with a grounded sense of reality, using this aspect to inspire rather than mislead.
At 5:14 PM EDT, Mercury turns direct, signaling a shift toward mental clarity. As the planet of communication and thought moves forward, the delays, misunderstandings, and frustrations that may have plagued the past few weeks begin to resolve. In the coming days you may want to revisit conversations or decisions that have been on hold, and clear up any lingering misunderstandings. With Mercury direct, the path ahead becomes clearer, allowing for smoother communication and more effective planning. Take time to gather your thoughts and prepare to move forward with renewed confidence.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I nurture my emotional well-being and connect with my inner self?
- Where might I be idealizing situations, and how can I bring more clarity to my relationships?
- What steps will I take to communicate more effectively (in the coming days) now that Mercury is direct?
Thursday, August 29, 2024: Harmony Restored
Venus moves into its home sign of Libra at 9:22 AM EDT, bringing a renewed focus on balance, harmony, and relationships. In Libra, Venus expresses itself with grace, elegance, and a deep desire for fairness. This transit invites us to seek beauty and equilibrium in our surroundings and to develop mutually supportive and enriching connections. Whether in romantic partnerships, friendships, or even within ourselves, the emphasis now is on creating harmony and restoring peace. During this time, you may feel a stronger pull toward art, diplomacy, and activities that promote togetherness. During this time focus on cultivating relationships and environments that reflect your highest ideals of love and beauty. Venus remains in Libra until she enters Scorpio on September 22, 2024.
At 10:31 AM EDT, Venus, now at the powerful Cardinal point, forms a trine with Pluto. This brings intensity and depth to our interactions, offering opportunities for powerful change in relationships and personal values. The Cardinal point (0 degrees of any Cardinal sign) magnifies Venus’s energy, making this a potent moment for change. Pluto’s influence encourages us to dig deep, uncover hidden truths, and embrace the transformative power of love and connection. This is a time to align your desires with your deepest truth, embracing powerful and authentic relationships.
Meanwhile, the Moon continues its journey through Cancer, enhancing our emotional sensitivity and need for security.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I bring more balance and harmony into my relationships and environment?
- What deep transformations are unfolding in my connections with others, and how will I embrace them?
- How will I nurture my emotional needs while embracing change and growth in my relationships?
Friday, August 30, 2024: Emotional Grounding
The Moon spends the morning in Cancer, keeping us connected to our emotions, our protective nature, and the comforts of home. This energy encourages a gentle, nurturing approach to the day, where self-care and tending to our and others’ emotional needs take precedence. You may feel more attuned to your inner world and the feelings of those around you, making it a good time to focus on activities that provide comfort, protection, and emotional security. Use the morning to ground yourself in these nurturing energies before the shift this afternoon.
At 1:10 PM EDT, the Moon moves into Leo, bringing a noticeable shift from introspective to expressive energy. Leo’s influence encourages us to step out of our shells and embrace confidence, creativity, and joy. The rest of the day is ideal for activities that allow you to shine and express your authentic self. Whether it’s through creative projects, socializing, or simply enjoying life’s pleasures, the Moon in Leo invites you to radiate warmth and share your light with others. Embrace the playful and passionate energy that Leo brings, allowing it to guide your interactions and pursuits for the remainder of the day.

Astrology is a Study of Time and Seasons
Astrology is the study of time, a lens through which we understand the rhythms of life. Western astrology, in particular, is rooted not in the constellations but in the seasons, marking the cyclical passage of time. As we reach the close of summer, time is especially on my mind. Here in New England, summer is fleeting—a precious season of warmth and light that we eagerly await throughout the long, cold winter months. The days pass quickly, each one offering a unique opportunity to soak in the beauty of this vibrant region. Whether it’s a morning walk along the coast, a lazy afternoon by a lake, or an evening watching the sun set over rolling hills, every day holds a chance to connect with nature and embrace the simple joys that summer brings.
With the brevity of summer in mind, there’s a natural urgency to live fully and savor each experience. The lush green landscapes, the scent of blooming flowers, and the feel of the warm sun on your skin all serve as reminders that this season is meant to be cherished. As the days grow shorter and the air begins to cool, the fleeting nature of summer becomes even more apparent. We are reminded not to take a single day for granted—to step outside, breathe deeply, and fully immerse ourselves in the season’s magic.
This week, as Leo season ends and we transition into Virgo, there’s a palpable shift in energy. The Sun entering Virgo signals a time of slowing down, as children return to school and we all turn our thoughts to the tasks that need to be completed before colder weather arrives. Summer is a gift—a brief, brilliant chapter in the year that deserves our full attention and appreciation. Make the most of each moment.
Astrological Highlights This Week:
Monday, August 19, 2024 – AQUARIUS FULL MOON –

This is followed by Venus opposing Saturn at 4:29 AM EDT, challenging us to confront limitations, responsibilities, or difficult realities in these same areas. When the Sun squares Uranus at 12:45 PM EDT, expect surprises or disruptions, possibly shaking up your sense of identity or insisting that you embrace change you have tried to resist.

SENSITIVE TO ASSERTIVE: Wednesday, August 21, 2024:
SUN ENTERS VIRGO – SEASON OF REFINEMENT – Thursday, August 22, 2024
The Sun enters Virgo at 10:54 AM EDT, bringing a period of practical focus and meticulous attention to detail. Virgo season shifts the energy from Leo’s bold expression to a more grounded, analytical approach, urging us to assess and refine the routines and systems in our lives. It’s a time to find balance through small, thoughtful adjustments that enhance our well-being and ability to serve others. This season invites us to bring harmony to our daily lives, making subtle but meaningful improvements that lead to greater organization and purpose. Children head back to school and we are ready to buckle down to a more serious focus.
Virgo season also heightens our awareness of health and wellness, encouraging us to establish habits that support our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This is a time for mindful, consistent actions rather than grand gestures, emphasizing the importance of clarity and efficiency in every aspect of life. The Sun in Virgo asks us to recognize the sacred in the mundane, honoring life’s process through humility and devotion. Consider where Virgo falls in your natal chart, as this area of your life is primed for refinement and growth, setting the stage for lasting positive change.
Later in the day, Venus in Virgo squares Mars in Gemini at 11:20 PM EDT, creating a dynamic tension between the desire for meticulous refinement and the urge for quick, adaptable action. Venus in Virgo seeks careful, thoughtful approaches to love and values, while Mars in Gemini drives us toward versatility and spontaneous decisions. This square can spark conflicts between the need for perfection and the desire to explore multiple options. The challenge lies in finding a balance—honoring Venus’ attention to detail without getting stuck in overanalysis while embracing Mars’ energy without scattering your focus. By integrating Virgo’s precision with Gemini’s flexibility, you can align thoughtful planning with dynamic execution.
Introspective Questions:
- What areas of my life could benefit from refinement and attention to detail?
- How will I bring more organization and efficiency into my routines to support long-term goals?
- What small, consistent actions will I take to improve my health and overall well-being during this Virgo season?
- How can I navigate tensions between my desires and actions with grace and understanding?

This is a day that calls for adventure, exploration, and a search for higher truths. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, encourages us to broaden our horizons, whether through learning, travel, or simply opening our minds to new perspectives.
The energy today supports activities that push you beyond your comfort zone. It’s a great time to embark on a new journey, dive into studies, or simply engage in conversations that expand your worldview.

ENERGIZED BELIEFS: Wednesday, August 14, 2024:
The Moon remains in Sagittarius today, continuing to inspire us with its expansive and optimistic energy. However, the highlight of the day is the conjunction between Mars and Jupiter at 11:21 am EDT, which occurs at 16 degrees Gemini. This powerful conjunction marks the beginning of a new cycle of energized beliefs and actions. Mars, the planet of drive and assertiveness, aligns with Jupiter, the planet of growth and optimism, in Gemini, a sign known for its intellectual curiosity and communication.
This conjunction is like a cosmic boost, infusing us with motivation and enthusiasm to pursue new ideas and communicate them with confidence. If you know where Gemini falls in your natal chart, this is the area of life where you’ll feel a surge of energy to explore, learn, and perhaps even teach others. It’s an excellent time to start a new project, especially one that involves writing, speaking, or any form of communication.
Later in the day, at 8:15 pm EDT, Mercury, currently retrograde, backs into Leo. While Mercury was in Leo, from July 2nd – July 25th, our minds and communications were expressive and enthusiastic. Since July 25th we have been a bit more serious and detail oriented. Mercury comes back to Leo today to explore a manner of thinking or communication that needs more attention. While in Leo Mercury encourages us to express ourselves boldly and with a touch of drama. It’s a time to let your personality shine through your words and to take pride in your ideas.
Introspective Questions:
- What new ideas will I pursue with passion?
- How will I use my words to inspire and uplift others?
- Where in my life will I plant seeds of hope?
GROUNDED AMBITION – Thursday, August 15, 2024
The day begins with the Moon still in Sagittarius, continuing to lift our spirits with its optimistic and adventurous energy. However, as the day progresses, the Moon enters Capricorn at 1:51 pm EDT, shifting the energy towards something more grounded and practical. Capricorn is an Earth sign ruled by Saturn, known for its focus on structure, discipline, and long-term goals.
As the Moon moves into Capricorn, it’s time to switch gears from exploration to execution. The expansive ideas and visions that Sagittarius inspired now need a solid plan and consistent effort to bring them to fruition. Capricorn’s influence encourages us to assess our progress and refine our strategies with patience and determination. It’s a day to focus on responsibilities, make plans for the future, and take practical steps towards your goals. This energy supports hard work, but also reminds us of the importance of perseverance and resilience.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I balance optimism with practicality today?
- What long-term goals will I focus my attention and dedication on?
- How will I stay disciplined without losing sight of my dreams?
STEADY RESOLVE – Friday, August 16, 2024
The Moon is fully in Capricorn today, bringing an energy of steady resolve and a focus on long-term ambitions. Capricorn’s influence is serious, disciplined, and often reminds us of the importance of hard work and perseverance. Today’s early morning square between Mars and Saturn, exact at 1:29 am EDT, might present challenges that test our patience and determination. Mars, with its fiery, assertive energy, clashes with Saturn, the planet of limitations and discipline, creating a tension between the desire to act quickly and the need to move slowly and methodically.
This square can feel frustrating, especially if you encounter obstacles or delays in your efforts. However, it’s also an opportunity to strengthen your resolve and recommit to your goals. Capricorn teaches us that nothing worthwhile comes easily, and the challenges we face today are meant to build our resilience. Approach any difficulties with a calm, measured attitude, and remember that steady progress is still progress. This is a day to focus on what truly matters and to remain steadfast in your pursuits, even when the road seems tough.

- How will I respond to obstacles constructively?

Capricorn’s influence continues to support our efforts to make steady, tangible progress towards our goals. It’s a good day to reflect on the progress you’ve made, assess where you stand, and consider what adjustments may be needed to stay on course.
In the evening, at 5:44 pm EDT, the Moon enters Aquarius, bringing a shift in energy towards innovation, independence, and a focus on the collective good. Aquarius is an Air sign known for its forward-thinking, unconventional approach to life. As the Moon moves into Aquarius, you may feel a desire to break away from tradition and explore new, innovative ways of doing things. This is a time to embrace your uniqueness and think outside the box.

The transition from Capricorn to Aquarius also invites us to blend our practical ambitions with a vision for the future. It’s a moment to reflect on how you can bring fresh, innovative ideas into your current projects and to think about how your work impacts others.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I blend personal ambition with a sense of community?
