Step out of your comfort zone and let curiosity lead the way. Embrace the bigger picture, as you seek meaning and purpose in your life. Whether through study, travel, or simply engaging with a new perspective, there’s a natural pull toward growth and learning. Allow yourself to be inspired by what lies beyond your usual boundaries.

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?

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?
COOLING EMOTIONS – Saturday, September 14, 2024
The Moon moves into Aquarius today, inviting us to think outside the box and explore new, unconventional approaches to personal challenges. Aquarius is emotionally cool, forward-thinking, and community-oriented, encouraging us to seek innovative solutions that benefit the greater good. This is a day for embracing your individuality while considering how your unique gifts can contribute to collective progress.
Aquarius is known for its ability to cooly detach from emotions and see situations from a broader perspective. Today you can gain clarity on issues that have been clouded by personal feelings. By stepping back from personal feelings, you might discover a fresh approach or a breakthrough idea that had previously eluded you.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I approach today’s challenges with fresh, innovative thinking?
- In what ways will I contribute to the greater good?
- How can I balance my individuality with the needs of those around me?
Early this morning, Venus will form a harmonious trine with Jupiter, bringing abundance, joy, and expansion. This aspect encourages us to open our hearts to the blessings around us and to share our warmth and generosity with others. This is a day to savor simple pleasures, whether through deep connections with loved ones, creative expression, or indulging in something that brings you joy. Venus and Jupiter together inspire a sense of optimism and a desire to create beauty and harmony.
The Moon continues its journey through Aquarius, blending well with the expansive energy of the Venus-Jupiter trine. Aquarius encourages us to look beyond ourselves and consider the well-being of the collective. Today is an excellent time for group activities, collaborative projects, or simply connecting with others who share your vision for a better world. This alignment supports both personal happiness and the broader impact of our actions, reminding us that joy is multiplied when shared.
With Venus (in Libra) and Jupiter (in Gemini) in such a supportive aspect, take a moment to reflect on where the signs of these two planets fall in your natal chart. The houses where this trine occurs will reveal where you’re especially blessed with growth and abundance.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I express gratitude for the blessings in my life today?
- In what ways will I share my joy and abundance with others?
- What houses hold Gemini and Libra in my natal chart and what does this tell me?
