Let this Friday the 13th bring luck; Friday is a Venusian day, and right now Venus is in her own friendly, aesthetic sign of Libra.A kind and congenial moment can ease the day. Stop and see beauty in the tints of early fall leaves, notice a far horizon or the way paint chipping off a door reveals interesting layers of color. These aesthetic moments can help us deal with an ambient edginess and a puzzle of responsibilities we might feel with the sun and Mercury now in nervy Virgo.
As the weekend begins notice serious thoughts and potentially heavy decisions as a competence-inducing Capricorn moon conjuncts Pluto. The mood grows more sociable over the weekend as the collaborative Aquarius moon forms a grand trine with Venus and Jupiter. This trine is great for gatherings and finding interesting new connections in the mix.
Our hearts grow tender and spill over early next week as the moon waxes full in sensitive Pisces. A lunar eclipse on Tuesday highlights any tension we feel between our vulnerabilities and the workaday world. Some inner emotional truth could be revealed.
The week ends on a more decisive and active note as the moon enters fierce, excitable Aries and the sun trines change-inducing Uranus. Let’s act thoughtfully, rather than impulsively, on any recent revelations.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13: A competent and decisive grand trine with the sun, moon, and Uranus all in pragmatic Earth signs can push us to make clear decisions or map a path forward. Don’t jump to conclusions but do act on inspiration and make it so. One opportunity could need releasing in order to embrace another.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14: Overnight concerns could take a while to shake off this morning, but then the day opens up. Engage in healing connections. Take a break from the working mindset and engage the community as Venus trines Jupiter under a sociable Aquarius moon. Strike up conversations and meet new allies and connections.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15: The moon forms a grand trine with Jupiter and Venus all in air signs, a time to talk about shared values, what we love, and how to make our lives more fair, equitable, and beautiful. People are not interested in confrontation — though they will go there — but in what soothes the heart.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16: We can be painfully aware of any tension between our work and where our heart wants to be. It’s easy to work where our emotions are respected and our feelings are safe. Elsewhere, that abrasion hurts and lets us know what needs repair. Tend to health. Honor emotions but let the river clear before making sudden decisions as the sensitive Pisces moon trines Mars.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17: Our sensitivities are our superpower under this full moon in Pisces. Be sensitive to beauty, to nuance, to a subtle healing path forward, not just the slings and arrows of an outrageous world. A partial eclipse at 8:34 p.m. can call for release and reveal an emotional truth.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18: Our recent sensitivities can inspire us to shift our world and bring it more in line with our truth as the moon enters active Aries and squares Mars. Or we could feel irritable, wanting action but not knowing where to go; watch for over-active defense systems and put this energy to good use.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19: We could realize we need to change ourselves, not just the world around us, as the sun trines Uranus under an impulsive Aries moon. Let’s take responsibility for our health and well-being.
