Hi everyone, and welcome to your weekly horoscope!
This week brings a number of astrological events, the first being the Sun’s transition from Virgo to Libra on September 23. Libra is the cardinal air sign that marks the Autumnal Equinox, more commonly known as the official start of Fall. From this day onward until the Winter Solstice, the days will begin to grow progressively shorter, and shorter in length.
Libra is naturally ruled by the planet, Venus, and is traditionally associated with aesthetic refinement, social elegance, and union. When the Sun moves into Libra, it signals the beginning of a four-week journey through the finer things in life, urging us to strike a perfect balance in all areas of life, but especially within our relationships. This is a wonderful time to pursue any interests in the arts, as the Sun in Libra serves to light up the artistic mind. It is also a great time to reach out and connect, as the Sun in Libra pushes us all in the direction of finding union and synergy between ourselves and others.
On September 25, there is a beneficial alignment between Mercury in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. This influence is great for any pursuits in writing, speaking, or teaching, as you will be able to easily convey your broader message to an audience. The influence of these two planetary energies works to support the power of positive thinking, so under its influence, you would be wise to lean into practicing an abundance mindset. Mercury and Jupiter together work to open our minds to different ways of thinking and being, making this a great time for any diplomatic pursuits as you can easily empathize with differing opinions. This is also a powerful alignment for any pursuits in sales or commerce, so if you were looking into investing, opening a business, etc., this would be a great day to do so.
On September 26, Venus in Leo will form a positive alignment with Mars in Libra, making this an excellent time for any creative pursuits. There is the potential to feel very inspired under this alignment, as passion and a need for refined self-expression rise to the surface. This is a beneficial alignment for romantic endeavors, especially if you are single and looking to meet someone new. Because of the nature of this alignment, however, if you do not take conscious action toward pursuing your passions and desires at this time, it is likely that its positive influence will pass you right by.
On September 29, Venus in Leo will make its final square to Uranus in Taurus before making her way into Virgo next week. The square aspect is traditionally known as contentious, as it serves to make us aware of imbalances that need to be remedied. Under the influence of this configuration, you are likely to see how your relationships have grown to be mundane. This influence of Venus and Uranus can force you to search for new experiences in love and pleasure in the name of excitement. Because of this, there is the potential to either do or say something that may appear shocking to those around you, despite the fact that this radical behavior is actually just a demonstration of your aligning with your true desires and values. Conversely, it may not be you who is acting out of the ordinary, but rather your partner, friend, or colleague.
And, finally, beginning on September 30, we begin a series of alignments to the planet Mercury, starting with a beneficial alignment between Mercury and Uranus. This alignment is likely to exacerbate the Venus-Uranus square, as it signifies a time when excited mental energy is circling through the global community. This mental stimulation is good for inventing, or simply coming at an old problem with a new approach. The desire to break away from habit and routine is still strong under this influence, so it would be helpful to search for stimulating conversations with new people. This is also a good time to invest in new technology or upgrade old electronics.
