September marks a period of self-honouring. A very distinct time where we can evaluate our beliefs and work through the notion of SELF ‘cause and effect’. In life, we have the freedom to choose better thoughts, actions and reactions, put simply it all comes down to our choices. Morally, ethically or particularly, the choice you end up making is likely to have a big impact on your life. Yet, consequences don’t always obey logic, sometimes karma and destiny play a big role. The Sun in Virgo is big on lessons - especially as their pathway to ascension is through serving other people. While the Sun traverses through the sign of the Virgin, we can focus on gathering resources, cultivating our eye for detail and owning the need to experiment - within the comfort of our own four walls. Virgo is the ‘I analyse’ of the zodiac, interested more so in the craft than the reward. They are passionate but orderly, quiet in nature - and very self-sufficient. We’d all do well to take a page out of their book, and to seek new ways of success through inquiry and practicality. Many of us could be searching for a non-existent ‘perfection’ by which we measure others or ourselves. Maintaining our moods, bodies and lifestyles is a heck of a challenge.

On the 2nd, Mercury opposes Jupiter presenting grand plans and a desire to be amongst friends. You can feel inspired by an acquaintance and this could set you off on your own journey of health, wellness or creativity. There is a tension in how you express yourself, so some may come across as passive aggressive or fake. We want to propose an idea, but it could get us in trouble, especially if your intentions behind it are a little dubious. Venus enters Virgo on the 6th, turning down the heat in love, just a tad. Love and lust in Virgo is innately private, peeling away it's many layers away from prying eyes, behind closed doors, with the person who matters most. An optimistic and tender Pisces Full Moon arrives on the 10th, known around the globe as a Harvest Moon, this is my all time favourite lunation every single year. It’s just so delicate, merging with Neptune. It represents so much, and is known as a Corn Moon or Harvest Moon because it happens close to the Autumnal equinox for those in the Northern hemisphere, and for us in the Southern hemisphere, Spring. In Pisces, naturally emotions are at the forefront of our mind - as are dreams, intuitions, spiritual notions, subtle expressions, sounds and meanings. The eyes play an important role, conveying words without spoken communication. Pisces lives for the subtlety of such times, their gut instinct is almost always correct. They have an otherworldly quality to them being such empaths and collectively, we will each have so much to unpack. Mercury begins its third retrograde on the 9th until the 22nd in the sign of Libra. After this date, it changes signs dipping back into Virgo, until October 3rd. This confirms that we will be going through varying emotions over the course of the next month, highlighting love and committed relationships (Libra) as well as routine, practical matters and daily chores (Virgo). Challenging situations are on the increase, but we are given the chance to observe and evaluate our own words - and find out how and why our cultural conditioning defines us. It IS really that deep this season, there is a lot on the line.
Six trines occur throughout the month, manifesting as very powerful, positive manifestations. 5 of these occur in the earth elements which means that Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn get a double dose of lovely luck in finances, intimacy and domestic situations.
On the 18th, the Sun trines Pluto, putting a social spin to our everyday life. We feel confident, able to express what we desire in intimate areas, such as our sex lives. A trine is a powerful transit that awakens within us leadership qualities that we tend to bury under the surface. There is no flying under the radar with this energy, so put on the charm - the charisma toward something grand. The Equinox arrives on the 23rd, signalling spring and warmer weather for us here in Australia. I can confidently say, I am truly looking forward to more sunshine and more nature in my life. The same day, the Sun moves into Libra, preparing us for a gentle shift in scenery. We are motivated by justice and equality, we adore our time spent interacting, socialising, laughing and conversation. Overall, the Sun in Libra acts like a harmonious connector, bringing back a sense of lightness to our life. We have 6 planets (Saturn, Uranus, Mercury, Jupiter, Mars + Neptune) in retrograde motion, rippling through the collective frustration of each of us for various reasons. Moral direction may feel difficult to assert, and attachments to past traumas may arise. This time of the year is difficult and the energy is intense, there’s no way to escape the fact that we have to reassess, reconsider and review. We can feel ‘out of step’ with the universe, as if we’re blocked in some way - really, we’re just being pushed to look long and hard at what areas aren’t working for us like they once did. If our beliefs, ideas and values are in conflict with what IS - we will find that internal confusion and rejection is felt, emotionally storing itself in the depths of our subconscious. Don’t allow the past to still be present in your reality, even when physically it is gone. On the 24th, Neptune in Pisces opposes Venus making it a hard time to want to compromise, you may feel hard done by in love - thinking a partner should know better. We are not to be decoded, so accept that even someone who loves you may not know what you mean all the time.

A New Moon on the 26th arrives in peaceful Libra, balancing lifestyle requirements with career obligations. We admire diplomacy, calm demeanours and calculated risks. The objective under this lunation is to keep a cool head as we welcome change in our personal lives. New Moon’s offer wonderful opportunities for reflection and protection. It’s a very psychic time, where we can absorb the truth around us, however hard it may be to swallow. Intention is paramount under the dark night of the soul, so it’d be wise to approach the spirit with sincerity - only asking the universe for what you’re yearning for. As usual, sensitivity is heightened, in Libra predominantly focused around family dynamics, fertility and children - your own or someone else’s. Our self concept is our destiny - and although largely multi dimensional, the perceptions and beliefs we hold about ourselves always design how we come to act physically, emotionally and spiritually. Observe where you feel most supported, by whom you feel held, and remember that life is leasing us a temporary line - one in which we experience and experiment fully. The joy is found in the freedom to try - witness the greatness by just appreciating - the Sun, Venus and Moon in Libra will thank you for it!
“Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.” – A Course In Miracles
Eclipse season is right around the corner, placing a lot of emphasis on what will occur throughout October and November. This will be a very fierce and potent time of renewed integrity and authenticity. Remember, it starts with you - our community, our world can ONLY change when (and if) we ourselves change. Don't be afraid when it comes time to pay your dues, do so with grace and dignity. Stand tall, say to yourself 'I am responsible, I am unafraid'.
May your cup runneth over in all possible ways on all types of days.

Aries: March 21 - April 19
Out in the world, you come across different to who you are at home, Aries. This month, you’ll be able to achieve a much better blend of the whole, as you smooth out the kinks in your career and home life. Being in frequent touch with a calm inner space is supportive of your inner peace - so that no matter what outside artificial noise occurs, you stay fine. This has been a very long and personal journey you’ve undertaken over the years, and creating ‘sensibility’ within your routine, has been a hard concept to master. September is all about the ‘holistic’ purpose of your life, the way particular timing opens you to the new. It’s evident this is where your focus is when Venus merges with the Sun in your 6th house of business and health. Venus in the 6th is all about caring and sharing, it’s about creating a beautiful everyday life, so that you don’t ‘want’ or ‘need’ to take holidays to escape. Love for animals, fractured objects and disadvantaged people is strong with this placement, and there could be a few of you who are going out on a limb for someone or something, again. Perhaps letting your own boundaries dissolve is a difficulty that arises here, it’s an aspect you’ll have to be conscious of - especially if you’ve been in a tumultuous relationship that borders on abusive. Overall, in these following weeks, the mood is more introspective, you’re searching for deeper focus, for a bit of privacy and rest. Early in the month, you feel the tenseness of the Sun and Jupiter clashing, requiring you to assert independence in a way you don’t really want too. There can be a compromise going on between you and a friend, lover or parent that emphasises how far away you are from each other's interests or values. A Pisces Full Moon merges with Neptune in your spiritual 12th house on the 10th. This lunation materialises as a turning point, preparing you for a very emotional cycle where truth is looked at - from all angles not just your own. Adjustment or change is easily observed at this time, and there can be an overwhelming desire to be alone. Meditation, different variations of exercise and being in nature, especially close to water will help soothe you on this moon, so put yourself first and turn your phone off.
Mars is in a hard aspect to Mercury, making misunderstandings aplenty in friendship and partnership. Mercury stations retrograde in Libra that same day, mediating a heated conversation. Until October 3rd, you may feel this push-pull energy that forces you to interact and connect with people, even when you don’t have the desire too. Libra is a social butterfly, orientated toward partnership and unity. It won’t be unusual if a friend or associate from the past sends you a message, and it's equally as likely you hear from an ex - taking into consideration what I wrote above about boundaries and unhealthy attachments it can be a time of very nervous energy. On the 23rd, the retrograde moves into its domicile of Virgo, where it will stay until the end of retrograde. This switch can show you where you are internalising pain and heartache, Virgo is all about the inner workings of the mind, equipping you with the technical ‘know how’ that you naturally possess. Mercury has the freedom here to weave intricate patterns back into your psyche, use it to your advantage. There is a very watery, emotional, highly tender and fond vibration to the mid part of the month, that leaves your temperament quite sensitive and animated. Mars, your ruler is in Gemini for the foreseeable future, acting like a staunch money protector, indicating you’ll likely see a rise in finances before the year comes to a close. The 18th is an awkward date to be weary of as Mercury opposes Jupiter, signalling a development with a particular group of people. You will look at reasons for separation, as your interest dwindles and fades. On the 22nd, the Sun moves into Libra, helping you to take responsibility in love and friendship. It’s like a spring clean but for your life - bringing joy in romance. There is an increased desire to understand where your loved one is coming from, assimilation through martial observation can get you to expand your consciousness now. In particular at this time, you may become aware of violent tendencies you have when fights or conversations don’t go your way. Think of it like a mirror being placed in front of you, helping you to reach a position of self-actualisation. On the 25th, a very lovely New Moon also joins the romantic and loving 7th house - developing one’s appreciation for life. You will be revising and reconnecting with a job, project or creative collaboration. Some may be looking for new jobs at this time too, there is a major focus on skills, the service you promise and how you get along with colleagues. Jupiter in your sign is magic, placing you into a spiritual initiation of oneness. All of these themes set the tone for October, recognising that you are coming more into yourself - fully and completely. Yes Aries, you are prospering, succeeding - indeed, you have arrived.
Dates to watch; 2nd, 12th, 18th, 23rd, 24th, 27th.
Taurus: April 20 - May 20
The journey has been filled with unease and challenge lately, Taurus. Uranus in your sign until 2026 can feel like a fickle and absurd transit to go through, where a long and drawn out period of stress feels like the usual scenario. Uranus is a huge harbinger of change, making evident to friends and family that things haven’t been easy for you, and that an acceleration of growth and maturity has been put upon you, without anyone asking for any permission to do so. Seldom does the universe give us exactly what we want, and yet for now, this tiny moment, you can breathe a sigh of deep relief, as September behaves in a more restrained, patient manner, teaching gentle lessons while you take a moment to pull yourself together. You’re in the mood for contemplation and quiet, as your energy burns elsewhere, at home with a partner or lover. No wonder you’re geared towards love, as Venus (your ruler) and the Sun join in your romantic 5th house from the 6th, accentuating feelings of joy and perfection. You are extremely diplomatic in this first half of the month, using your authority to direct a situation at work. This is a highly amorous and sexual position for Venus to be in, so sensuality and pleasure are at the top of your desires - especially if you’ve come into a new and exciting partnership. There can be inclinations towards gambling or spending wild amounts of money, as entertaining or performing for a crowd of onlookers seem to sway you. Before that however, on the morning of the 1st, Mars forms a sextile to Jupiter, bringing wonderful confidence and enthusiasm to domestic situations, and improving circumstances to do with security and stability. If a door recently closed in your face, it's best to trust that behind the scenes it serves a true purpose, something more aligned - more gratifying is making its way to you from now until mid-October.
A Full Moon in Pisces joins Neptune on the 10th in your social 11th house of groups, dreams and future hopes. Contacting old friends may be part of the inner work you are called upon to do, to apologise for past aggressions/outbursts. This is a harvest moon, which brings excellent results and opportunities your way, if you can fine tune what exactly it is you want in this area of your life. Big egos can come up under the 11th house, so who you associate with is up for review, you won’t be undermined. There is a lot to unpack here and emotions can feel volatile or extreme, especially if you’ve been having FOMO over situations you haven’t been invited to. Looking closely and what it is you’re feeling in regard to friends, enemies and colleagues will help you to identify what is truly going on inside you - sometimes we can think a person is the problem when really it's stemming from a past experience/trauma we’ve faced. Full Moons in succedent houses appear like a progression of something, so you’ll be able to look back now and see where consistent issues have come up for you, regardless of the person or problem. Mercury retrogrades in Libra on the 10th, in your 6th house of wellness. There is a lot to contend with physically and emotionally over the next 3 weeks, leaving you feeling drained as a result. Until October 3rd, reputation and image are scrutinised, yet you may also find yourself ready to speak with a therapist or attend an appointment for a long term ailment. Feeling like you want to jump ship once again can leave you on unsteady footing, and detaching might be the easiest but worst solution to your problems. Mars in Gemini similarly is radicalising how you appear - so the two work in tandem here bringing an extreme make - over, perhaps not so much physically, as mentally, allowing you to shed long held beliefs and values that truly no longer serve. On the 18th, Mercury opposes Jupiter sparking division in how you navigate through everyday situations. It can require a massive effort on your behalf to keep proper perspective now, as memories and nostalgia are skewed. A Pisces, Aries or Leo may meet you on a spiritual level, convincing others to see you as you are. On the 23rd the Sun moves into Libra, pursuing creativity and observation. A free flowing New Moon arrives on the 25th merging with the 6th house proving there’s still some blind spots in terms of fitness, diet and work scheduling. This lunation is about the daily grind, about what you’re willing to put in and what you expect to take out from your career or whatever you do to get paid. Living a more ‘healthier’ life isn’t just about consuming less sugar and salt, it's about productivity, sleep and regular laughter. Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and give thanks continuously.
Dates to watch; 3rd, 6th, 10th, 12th, 18th, 25th, 29th.
Gemini: May 21 - June 20
You want someone to really see you, Gemini. With the Sun in your 4th house of family until the 22nd, you may find yourself in a cycle of rest, recharge and reflection, with various opportunities to make your needs known to those within your inner circle. Venus joins the Sun on the 6th, devoting your energy to things that are beautiful, luxurious and comfortable within the home. A mother or maternal figure features heavily in these first weeks, using authority to make you submit. Relationships of all types play an important role at this time, and yet to cultivate peace within stagnant family dynamics, you will have to focus centrally on your own progress and mental state. September is quite a ‘homebody’ month for you, where strong emotions play out under the surface, behind closed doors, the way you prefer. Mercury your ruler, stations retrograde on the 10th, in air-sign Libra affecting you rather personally, more so than the other zodiac signs. From the 23rd, Mercury dips back into Virgo where it will end its cycle on the 3rd of October. Family issues apply to this time, so your words are everything. There is a certain sensibility to how you operate through these next weeks, yet you can feel trapped by your possessions, relationships and reputation. Occurring mostly in your 5th house however, you’ll find yourself considerate of relationship issues, getting on better with a loved one after a brief period of chaos. It is a symbolic time for intimacy, exploring the depth you would go for the one you adore. Mars in your sign for 7 months is forceful - driving you to take action on any injustices that you currently face. Having the very active planet in your 1st house means that you are better able to assert yourself - so much that you notice the change within yourself, pleased at how far you’ve come in terms of maturity. It’s possible you feel as though you have some sort of spiritual/religious experience that illuminates how you continue to behave, even when you know better. Dominating in the work place is very real under this transit, and you can have your mind completely on the money. So much is at your disposal with this influence, you won’t back down from a fight.
A Full Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune in your 10th house of ambition on the 10th. Placing you in the spotlight, there are watchful eyes you can’t get away from during this lunation. The vibes are high and Pisces makes sure you experience the richness you’ve worked hard to cultivate within your career. Consideration for others doesn’t come naturally to the 10th house, but you face a situation with certain colleagues or executives where you demonstrate a level of grace so profound, that people around you are floored. You let a situation that could of and should of been a big deal, slide, knowing human error happens. Endings and culminations stem from Full Moon’s, so the attention you could be receiving may feel a little ’too late’. Regardless, there’s a social influence you exert where people now learn from you, garnering you more popularity. How you shape your work to fit into your lifestyle + what is your purpose and mission in life will all be big topics going forward, rigoursuly dissected once November rolls around, and we go through the Eclipse’s. On the 16th, Venus squares Mars in your sign, bringing intensity to romantic relationships. Fights are normal, discussions are heated. You’re irritated by something someone did or said and you won’t get over it until its overtly picked apart. You may be determined to act disruptively, even for the fun of it. On the 22nd, the Sun moves into Libra. The next day, the Spring equinox signals a time of fertility, awakening and new life, it’s a heart warming time. On the 25th, a New Moon strengthens the bold 5th house by merging with the Sun, consciously seeking a fairer exchange. The need for approval is strong in the 5th house and you be made aware of where you shrink yourself to make other people feel grand. Following your heart lightens the mood, some lessons have to be learnt the hard way, so they’re not repeated too often. Honouring yourself is one of these tumultuous things that each Gemini goes through as they try to appease the sense of duality they carry within. The focal point is to respect yourself, that means being in charge of your own emotional security. Speak intuitions out loud and have a little fun with it, there is a great radiance that comes from owning what you want.
Dates to watch; 1st, 3rd, 6th, 11th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th.
Cancer: June 21 - July 22
Embracing your full potential can be hard, Cancer. The Sun in Virgo shines a light on your communicative 3rd house until the 23rd, merging with Venus from the 6th. You may feel totally immersed within your everyday experiences, interpreting something very simple as extraordinary. This is a cycle of sharing and receiving information, making you a great performer if speaking for large crowds or for collaborative projects. The 3rd house is expressive, showcasing your endless curiosity and love for learning. There are 5 planets simultaneously in retrograde making the energy a little fuzzy. You may be unsure of your movements, double guessing if what you want to do is really what you should. Naturally, things can feel a little hectic, especially as Mercury stations retrograde in Libra on the 10th screwing schedules, plans and travel plans. How you manage to compose yourself in awkward situations says everything right now, but this retrograde will skew your usual conversationational skills, making you appear shy or disinterested when it couldn’t be further from the truth. On the 23rd, Mercury will dip back into Virgo, highlighting your 4th house of family before ending its retrograde on October 3rd. While traversing through your 3rd house of intelligence, it’s likely you misunderstand words or feelings. Judgements can be harsh and you feel like you’re up against the impossible, but if you can just approach problems with an analytical mind, all will settle. Lovers may project insecurities onto you, leaving a bad taste in your mouth. A Full Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune in your 9th house, unleashing your best kept secrets into the underworld. The 9th house tests beliefs; especially in abstract, esoteric Pisces, allowing you to lose yourself in dreams, in people, in desire. Your career or creative outlet may be in high focus at this moment, motivating you to refine your craft. There is a degree of professionalism here that can spark plentiful opportunities from someone higher up watching you at your job. You’re being asked to observe and explore the potentials of your soul story, what makes it unique?
The old adage, blood is thicker than water can prove useful around the 18th, when Mercury opposes Jupiter for the second time. Hitting your 10th house of ambition and achievement, you may call upon a relative or sibling to assist you in cleaning up your public persona. Their good words may ultimately maneuver a situation in your favour. All month Mars in Gemini traverses through your spiritual 12th house, softening the drive to get ahead in career. You may be overprotective of a new romance, trying to keep things very private due to its fresh timing. This is not a bad thing, enjoy your moments together away from prying eyes while you get to know this other person who may be a Cancer, Pisces or Libra. For those in committed partnerships, this is a superb time to reflect and reassess shared visions for the future. Talks of starting a family may feature especially after you’ve reached a long held goal together, it's evident you are going in the right direction. The negative aspect of this transit however can be having no clear vision for your future, and wallowing in a self-pity that breeds greed and reactivity to every little thing. Many small inconveniences can occur within the 4 weeks that get blown out of proportion because you are more sensitive than usual, don’t excuse this type of thing and as much as possible focus on guiding yourself through these dark spots of time. On the 23, Libra season begins indicating a better balanced, rich and prosperous journey ahead. The same day, Spring equinox for us here in Australia blooms with new growth and new life. A calming New Moon in Libra merges with the Sun engaging your domestic 4th house, creating a cosy environment that will take up your time and energy, as you upgrade your living space or move residences all together. Developing a sense of inner security can come from spending more time with loved ones. On a developmental level, to feel heard and seen you must first pay homage to your feelings and sift through unresolved matters in your heart. This New Moon will activate conversations around where you belong, where you fit in and the place you most feel comfortable to be who you are. It's a very karmic house, so destined situations can play out with great synchronicity. To witness greatness you must be vulnerable, if there’s no one to join you, it's ok - rise up alone, you will be met.
Dates to watch; 3rd, 7th, 11th, 12th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 27th.
Leo: July 23 - August 22
You’re running on instinct, Leo. The central focus this month is on money, as the Virgo Sun spends time in your 2nd house of finances, self-worth and self-esteem. A part of you is trying to weave the logical with the illogical, so that a situation can finally start making some sense. At times in life, things don’t add up - they don’t feel fair and even so, we have to continue on, without getting any answers for our burning questions. Even though the 2nd house is closely related to our personal possessions - our concept of ‘value’, it also connects with our emotions, which hinder us from getting what we deserve = what we are owed because of how we demoralise ourselves. Use these first three weeks to feed the higher self, not giving into the weakness and fear that the ego tries to blanket us with. The Moon makes a conjunction to Pluto on the 5th, intensifying emotions and intimate relationships. Many Leo’s could be dealing with wounded past emotions that resurface every time a trigger point is accentuated. If you’ve lost a friend or lover for good, as in they’ve moved on or simply won't give you a second chance, then this is also the transit for accepting. There is sorrow associated with some part of your love life, perhaps things aren’t happening as ‘fast’ or as ‘straightforward’ as you’d have hoped. No one said September would be easy, but in reality it’s a lot less daunting than the rest of 2022. Mercury stations retrograde for the third time this year on the 10th, in your communicative 3rd house assisting you in getting a lot of work done. Deep feelings can be evoked through this retrograde, which focuses on relationships of all kinds under the banner of Libra. You may be overwhelmed by a memory or event that reminds you of a powerful connection, let it wash over you - it will serve as a catharsis and by November, you will feel brand new. Naturally, all the rules apply especially as we have 4 other planets retrograde, trips can be delayed, contracts are revised and communication is interrupted. For you personally, it's best to keep balanced in large groups of friends, carefully assessing what it is you wish to say out loud. Mercury will dip back into Virgo on the 23rd, before finalising its retrograde on October 3rd. Occurring between your 2nd and 3rd houses, it’s obvious there will be mishaps with appointments, marital contracts (could be someone else’s and not yours, depending on your dating life) and business documents.
A Full Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune in your transformational 8th house, aligning you to the right course of action that you’ve been very measured in pursuing. This Harvest Moon brings culmination and prolific endings, one way or another you are forced to get comfortable with the deep, dark truth buried in your heart. It’s so appropriate that Neptune and Pisces as an astrological sign rule dreams, wishes and the unseen. The 8th house is about the balance of give and take - in intimacy, in respect and in finances. Issues with sharing come into focus, especially if someone has been using your kindness and going out of their way to highlight your weakness. Friends who you’ve known for a long time may now surround you with clarity, giving you information that was previously missing. Sex is a big part of this transit, exploring the edges of intimate boundaries with a lover. If you are with someone who has children from a previous relationship or is newly single, there may be court happenings like divorce proceedings to get through. It will be a profoundly moving and sentimental time that will propel major life changes, especially if you have a water Moon placement. On the 23rd, the Sun enters Libra and we herald in the spring equinox for those of us here in Australia. It’s a day of rebirth, renewal - fascinating you into a deep contemplation. The wonder and the joy of a new season of nature spurs you into action. You are witty, cheerful and sociable, looking for companions who share similar interests. On the 25th, a New Moon in Libra engages your 3rd house, taking care of the finer details of your life. Mental rapport with work colleagues and bosses is favourable and you feel at ease while public speaking or pushing some personal PR. Set intentions that revolve around learning, teaching, using that wonderful brain of yours. Just because you’re not an uni or school, doesn’t mean you have to stop learning. Community can offer a helping hand in a hobby, bringing to you a person who can help you excel. Orient yourself toward new found knowledge, hone the craft, put your own whimsical spin to it - that way you cannot lose.
Dates to watch; 1st, 3rd, 10th, 14th, 20th, 24th, 27th, 30th.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
Happy Birthday, darling Virgo. A full and exciting month ahead where you give into all sorts of personal whims, devoting yourself to tender love and care. The Sun merges with Venus in your sign on the 6th, in your 1st house refreshing your looks and reputation. People have something to say or something to offer you in terms of association. You are fully autonomous and independent, compelled to distinguish yourself through style, grace and education. There is a need to disobey logic and reactive thinking - true creativity dwells inside of you - the heart of a pioneer and this opens many doors from now until November. The 1st house is increasingly self centred, but it's your birthday so its allowed and approved - with family and friends acknowledging all your effort and hard work this year. Mars is close here, in Gemini animating your ambitious 10th house (where it will spend 7 total months), accomplishing much in the world of the arts, drama and music. You will be recognised for superb attention to detail and your self-deprecating humour will express what words cannot. The 10th house isn’t modest, and Mars makes you all the more determined to show exceptional leadership within a team. Overall, you feel more courageous in love - in social situations, braving intimate involvement that you usually turn away from. Colleagues inspire you, not by their work ethic but by their work-life balance that they’ve positioned to suit them. If you feel lacking in regards to a one on one relationship, take a leaf out of their book and start doing things your way - your life is with your loved ones - your family, not stuck away in some office somewhere. Of course, the bigger news of the month for you is in relation to learning, connecting and communicating as Mercury, your ruler stations retrograde for the third but not final time this year in Libra on the 10th. It’s always personal, but this transit more so, as on the 23rd, Mercury will leave the sign of balance and romance, to dip back into your sign, where it will traverse and ultimately finish its retrograde on October 3rd. The usual rules apply; travels can be disrupted, forks in the road appear and contracts come off shockingly. This transit goes between your 1st and 2nd house, affecting money, possessions, self-esteem and personal value. Financial hiccups are obvious in these three weeks especially if a situation has dragged out and been ongoing with a Leo, Gemini, Libra or Cancer. There's a desire for privacy, time out but family may draw you out, discussing heated topics that make you feel like you have to defend or explain yourself.
Acting through a script of righteousness is getting old, and the more you mature the more you realise that only you can uplift your own mood. September is rather alternative in many ways, acting like some sort of liberating, spiritual experience, releasing so many repressed emotions and anxieties. A Full Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune in your house of love on the 10th, bringing to light something that’s been kept hidden in your psyche. Breaking free from the past is instrumental - enlightening, but requires a certain patience that even you have trouble holding. Uranus is in harmony with the Sun bringing a plentiful and unexpected surprise on this date. Those in committed partnerships may not know that their lover is planning to propose soon, or there could be much talk of children, marriage and domestic movement. The 17th is a lovely, lighthearted day where you can enjoy Venus merging with Uranus, bringing gentler times in romance and friendship. How you speak to yourself is highlighted as this sets a tone for how other people are ‘allowed’ to talk to you, so matters of self-deception through love or lust are deeply entwined here, remember to be kind to yourself first and foremost. As Kay’pacha says; ‘Don’t get stuck in separating, judging and labelling - at the instructions of the ego’. On the 23rd, the Sun enters Libra signing off for another birthday year. There is a lot of depth to uncover throughout Libra season, especially through exchanges with other people. Mars trine Saturn toward the end of the month is fantastic for health renewal and setting an example for children or siblings. On the 25th, a New Moon engages the Libra Sun in your 2nd house of self-worth and cash money. Materialistic desires, possessions, services and your own values are under scrutiny, as you look closely at assists and resources. The intentions you set this month propel all the way forward to the Eclipse season beginning late October, so it's important you bring everything together creatively. There will be opportunities to define your inner, core values within your business and to get a better hold of finances. Manifest a solid budget and the feeling of security within your domestic, living arrangements - so that you’re not falling short or having to borrow from family and friends.
Dates to watch; 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 11th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 22nd, 28th.
Libra: September 23 - October 22
Birthday season is around the corner, Libra. Yet before the party spirit can shine through, these first few Virgo weeks see you in a contemplative mood, asking questions or advice that only you can really answer. Until the 23rd, the Sun and Venus move through your spiritual 12th house, giving you a moment to retreat. Privacy is important for you, and this may be especially true now if you’re in the throes of a new relationship, career or domestic move. There’s an emotional depth to everything you embark on, everything you think - naturally, you are a very expressive person, so this may also be a wonderfully creative time where you get to nestle into your surroundings and do the work. Mercury stations retrograde in your sign on the 10th, before slipping back into Virgo on the 23rd, and finalising its tour on October 3rd. This is the third retrograde of the year, flipping in between your 12th and 1st house, demanding you pay attention to your own needs and desires before putting everyone else first. This transit will remind you of the mindful nature you must practice, in order to feel peace on all three levels of consciousness, mind, heart and gut. In these two sectors of the retrograde, its good to be aware of ways in which trouble can manifest for you; relationship issues can show up if you are too egotistical or selfish, this is often masked as an internal fear, so you may be required to get deep and talk about some personal triggers. This in turn can lead you to having some bizarre and telling dreams, making it hard for you to feel like you’ve shut down or relaxed at the end of each day. Because the energy is focused on the 1st house, a lot can also be about your image, reputation and mannerisms, people may find you difficult or aloof - like you’re hiding something. In reality, the 12th house is working its magic, so you’re constantly in two minds, thinking about thoughts from long ago - pulling you far away into nostalgia and memory.
All month, Mars in Gemini encourages your 9th house of philosophy and adventure, influencing you in all areas of culture. Mars is action, reaction - the god of war and in the 9th house, will see to it that you are bold, honest and very unique in how and what you express of your immediate life. You’re keen to add to your knowledge by bonding with different types of people, who talk about ideas rather than gossip. Individuals with interesting backgrounds open your mind, pursuing a shared goal for intellectual wisdom and understanding. This transit is with us for 7 months, longer than the usual 7-week stint, suggesting you’re highly motivated to by alternative beliefs. Father figures can play a role at this moment where their authority shines through just at the right minute to get you out of a bind. A Full Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune in your 6th house of health and routine on the 10th. Bringing peace into your everyday life may feel difficult under the illusive lunation of the fish, but neglecting chores only make this harder. Pisces isn’t one for following rules and regulations and the 6th house forces one to look at alternative avenues for healing such as therapy, dance or meditation which can feel a little too woo-woo for you, Libra. Who you work for and how you work together is highlighted, and if there’s been upheaval then the change that comes through won’t be temporary. Uranus is here close to this moon, marking the end point of a cycle, therefore it's best to remain logical, productive and aware of what is going on, really. An adjustment or change to health or lifestyle may be needed to tweak how you feel internally - observe your rhythm and sleep. From the 23rd, the Sun moves into Libra pointing toward the Spring Equinox, and everything in full bloom. Obviously, you are regenerated by the Sun shining in your sign, bringing sensations of joy and wonder. Love is expansive and if your partner is Gemini, Sagittarius or Capricorn then you will feel their attention drastically switch to you. Single Libra’s can lightheartedly play with new acquaintances or study someone they’re interested in from a closer degree. On the 25th, a New Moon engages the Sun in your personal 1st house. This is a powerful, enthusiastic time of the year for you, where a proverbial ‘rebirth’ sends you off on a dramatic journey of reinventing who you are and who you dream to be. Anything is possible with these beautiful stars, and a New Moon always points to beginnings, life path intention and goal setting. There is a massive burst of creative energy coming together to ignite in your passion for life, stripping away the falsities in the image you carefully present and instead presenting the real, unrestrained human who lives inside. All the gory bits that make people fall in love with your quirks and peculiarities, that you find repulsive or awkward. This is the beginning of your ‘astrological’ year, so enjoy being vulnerable, visible - people are watching now and they can’t look away. On the 30th, Venus moves into your sign, wrapping a nice bow on your birthday season.
Dates to watch; 3rd, 5th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 18th, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 30th.
Scorpio: October 23 - November 21
A fork in the road is a rather curious situation, Scorpio. With the Sun and Venus in Virgo transiting through your social 11th house until the 23rd, the mood is lively, joyful and driven by your dreams for the future. This cycle is one of exploration, attraction and fantasy; support from people in higher positions is evident and you reap the rewards of having popular connections. There is a keen interest in worldly affairs at this present moment, and you may be intrigued by someone who is very eccentric and complex, who has a Libra, Gemini or Aquarius Moon or Rising. The 11th house is about creating unity, and life is very supportive of that notion. However, our ego can get in the way - it seeks separation through distinction, through trying to be ‘unique’. This will be your lesson in Virgo season, less rejections and judgements off the people around you, more invitation - find beauty in the experiences of community, that way your senses will be filled. Coming into self-mastery is a quest - which you actually rule over astrologically speaking, meaning that throughout September many of you will commit to the act of purging and purifying. On the 5th, Venus squares Chiron, bringing some nervousness to relationships and giving you a tendency to overthink or worry about far-away outcomes. Remember, we cannot control anything in the ether, but we can control our reactions and thereby feel a sense of peace regardless of our personal circumstances. Shedding old skin in order to evolve features strongly especially on the 9th/10th when Mercury stations retrograde in Libra. Naturally, retrogrades affect our communication, travel plans and financial resources, with 5 other planets retrograde, it’s obvious that September has a slower, ‘reversal’ like-outlook. This can be a good thing, giving you time to assess boundaries. On the 23rd, Mercury will dip back into Virgo, where it will stay until the end of the transit on October 3rd. Occurring between your 11th and 12th houses, your central focus will be on vitality - maintaining harmony with friends, family. Bumping into people randomly will bridge you to the incantations of the 12th house, by helping you have a little dose of self-introspection - especially if you fell out with this person over seamlessly small issues. Intelligence will come from an imaginative place and assist you in thinking outside of the box, you’ll need it in order to patch things up!
A Full Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune in your playful 5th house, on the 10th. Interesting developments occur over the next 4 weeks with your love life, and you can be shown by the universe or by an ex what you’re missing when (and if) you chose not to be with them. The 5th house is about everything we ‘want to do’, so goal setting will feel healthy now, and by all means be grand. The impossible really is possible with the 5th house. Our natural, innate expression is exuberant here, but you might not feel like yourself for some reason. This could be because of a new relationship high or because you’re in a temporary domestic/cash situation that you know will run out eventually. Regardless, Pisces is your sister - sign, this is an exciting lunation that sets to integrate social values on a wide scale. Endings may feature - or a chaotic culmination point that leaves you crying a river of tears, with so much watery/mutable energy of Pisces/Virgo on display, the allure of letting it all out is strong. All month, Mars in Gemini traverses through your mysterious 8th house of shared possession and obsession, stimulating your ego to fight for what it ‘deserves’. Mars in the 8th house is wildly powerful, often not seeing the stop signs in front of it. You seek truth, regardless of the consequences and the meaning of life shines through in those tiny, every day moments that occur when you’re not paying too much attention. You can dive deep into the shadow side of your personality, probing for triggers or traumas. Fears manifest as the need to control and possess, drop these thoughts as soon as you feel them - they’re a false sense of identity. On the 22nd, the Sun moves into Libra and your 12th house of reflection and solitude. Behind closed doors there is a lot going on, something in your immediate life feels stagnant - desire, intimacy, sex. There is a longing for conversation, where you reveal a memory or frustration but there’s no one to hear it on the other end, or so you feel. On the 25th, a New Moon in Libra engages with the Sun here, in the 12th house, whispering of a sacred yearning. If you’ve wanted kids but haven’t managed a career break and it seems more distant than ever, then the level of emotions may now rise up in a very uncomfortable light. If you are naturally revered or shy then this time can be a little awkward, because everything slow paced is accentuated by the 12th house. October and November are set to be very galvanising months, with Eclipse season in full throttle - enjoy the quiet while you can.
Dates to watch; 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 20th, 25th, 29th.
Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21
Even in chaos, you can keep a calm mind, Sagittarius. With the Sun and Venus in Virgo until the 23rd spotlighting your 10th house of ambition and achievements, its evident opportunities arise in your career spontaneously. So much of this year has been consciously drawn to evolving - to becoming a more ‘mature’ version of yourself. This ties in well with Virgo and the 10th house, which rules over success in litigation, contracts and offers. This transit not only attracts promotions, it also increases partners coming into your life who hold significant personal wealth or fame and fortune. Through this there’s also talk of a sibling, child or yourself getting married to someone of a very high class in the near future, immediately making your (family) name very recognisable. September therefore, is quite a compelling month. It contributes to the ‘good times’ of 2022, where you feel a deep appreciation for the good luck you have been shown, elevating situations with your natural sophistication. Let’s rewind a little however, on the 2nd Mercury will oppose Jupiter in your playful and romantic 5th house, symbolising that something going on in your love life is making you nervous - unsure. An individual’s behaviour - potentially a Libra, Cancer or Pisces may be pulling some wool over your eyes, trying to direct your attention away from something they’ve done. Of course, knowing your sincere nature you go back and forth thinking maybe you’re just imagining things - overthinking. Trusting your intuitions is a karmic practice you are on earth to learn, let this serve as a lesson that if you feel something is off, generally it’s because it is. With 5 planets retrograde there is a large feeling of nostalgia at the pit of your stomach as you go over memories and conversations with people from your past. Dreams are vivid, almost hallucinatory, acting like a spiritual ‘food’ for your soul in times of hardship. The next planet to station retrograde is Mercury, for the third time this year on the 10th until October 3rd. Affecting communication, work commitments and various appointments, it will be smart on your behalf to remain as flexible as you can. Occurring between your 10th and 11th houses, as Mercury dips back into Virgo on the 23rd, it's evident that this transit will have a lot to do with the ‘other people’ in your life.
Moral situations are revised, especially in social situations as the retrograde pushes on your 11th house of friendship for most of the cycle. Influence and inspiration in your life are looked at closely, do you have people you look up to? Be clear in your intentions regarding your life path, this is imperative if you wish to get the most out of this cycle. Mercury linked to the 10th house, brings drama around your public persona. Judgements can be thrown prematurely, be careful what you say out loud in a big group of associates. It’s not all gloom and doom however, as Mars traverses through your committed 7th house all month bringing dynamic change in relationships. Magnetic and powerful, you’ve got the courage to stand behind the desires you crave, you’re unafraid of speaking your truth and this sets you apart from the rest. With Mars, the God of War backing this very passionate house, it suggests that you will direct much of your concentration on romantic partners or the acquisition of a new love. There is a transformation of your mind, body and soul through the support of a partner for those who are in long unions, replenishing mental strength. Together, you may explore boundaries of security and safety helping you to grow closer. Consequently, impulsive or intentional hurts are also a part of Mars in Gemini, teaching us the staunch lesson of surrender until March 2023. A Full Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune in your 4th house of family on the 10th, challenging domestic situations. In harmony with Uranus, this moon can feel wildly surprising, showing you that even though things may not change for months and years, one day looking back, you see they are different - and they did change before your eyes. As with all Full Moon’s culminations and endings are apparent, so a home or family/property matter may grab your complete focus, submitting you to the will of others. You overextend yourself trying to make someone else happy forgetting that your peace matters too. The 4th house manifests in moving house or country, perhaps the completion of a sale or even as much needed assistance financially from a parent or sibling. Most likely you have had an unpredictable or unique upbringing and this can now disrupt how you act in relationships, both professionally and privately. There is a restlessness to Pisces in the 4th house, wishing to just pick up its stuff and gallop away from all the difficulties ‘other people’ throw into your life. Emotions run high and you may be extra reactionary, because no one knows how to pull on your heart strings like family. Try not to get so irritated by the close proximity of family in your life, one day you will be disheartened if you didn’t appreciate it more. On the 25th, a New Moon in Libra engages the Sun and your 11th house. This will be a highly compatible lunation for you, bringing joyous developments to your group of friends. Networking will circle you now regardless if you have the energy for it or not. You are popular within your community for an area of expertise, and there can be many hands knocking on your door. Not only is this a good transit for furthering your name and your career, but it's also great for bringing other like-minded people together. Venus joins the party in the 11th house on the 30th, promising even more stimulation and colour.
Dates to watch; 1st, 7th, 11th, 18th, 19th, 23rd, 29th, 30th.
Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
Surrender to your higher self, Capricorn. With the Sun and Venus in Virgo and your 9th house of adventure and experience, this seems like a wise thing to do now. You are in a dense cycle of raising awareness; spiritual thinking, travel and inner-journey, place you in a joyful dance of exploration. These first 3 weeks are truly something to behold, as you move away from societal traditions and family conditioning, and more into whatever wild and wacky beliefs you hold true. The Sun and Venus here attract you to people with intelligence and education, people from far walks of life enter your stratosphere and together you pool in your resources. September is a very positive and liberating month, one of the better times in which you feel inspired to just be. 5 planets retrograde mean that things move slow, giving you time to alternate travel plans or contacts. On the 9th/10th, Mercury joins the gang by stationing retrograde in Libra, the sign of partners. The usual rules apply, legal documents can turn wayward, domestic moves appear railroaded and everyday plans see an upswing in unexpected delay. For you, this transit will focus solely on your 9th and 10th houses, as Mercury dips back into Virgo on the 23rd, where it finalises its cycle on October 3rd. There is just such an influx of energy in this 9th house that it's made obvious to you and everyone around you that something big is brewing far and wide, away from your home. Business negotiations, relationships are off centre at this time, leaving you or them feeling jilted. There is a deep need for compromise but you can’t seem to get yourself on track to physically do it! For some of you, a business partner or colleague has annoyed you so continuously, so often that you’ve literally had it up to here with them. Reconciliations and forgiveness may be hard to come by once you’ve made up your stubborn and stern mind. Judgements are harsh but it is what it is - this transit will make you very honest and not the least bit misleading - people don’t need to read your body language, you’ll tell them straight to their face at this time. Mars in Gemini brings about the element of mutable air, restarting societies need to ‘obey’ - to form as one bland collective. Rules and regulations can be imposed over the next 7 months, dragging the mood way down. For you, this will all occur in your 6th house of health and routine, reminding you that inner frustrations aren’t usually because of someone else but because of your own excessive anger not funnelled properly. In this 7 month long transit, you may have a larger workload than usual, or more stress on you because of a new home acquisition, a new child or new career move. Good thing Mars brings animation, power and passion to everything it touches, so you may just have some fun with this monotonous transit.
October is a busy and full month for you, plans to move, holiday or connect with family are high on your agenda, with Eclipse season right around the corner, it's best to get the boring stuff out of the way while you have the stamina to do so. A Full Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune in your 3rd house of communication - balancing your desire to speak out and to actually do it, not just voice issues in your own head. This harvest moon is one of the most special of the year, sprinkling magic and enchantment within your expressions and personal desires. What you speak holds so much weight, and people often hang off your very words, that is the power you hold within your vocabulary and candour. Uranus is in harmony here, bringing sweet surprise to any creative pursuits you’re exploring. Subtleties are felt in relationships, especially business partnerships under the light of the Pisces Moon, leaving you to exaggerate or obsess over what is really going on. The 3rd house is about deliberation, evaluation and decision making, so plentiful work assignments are possible. The 15th to the 18th is great for approving a deal, signing a contract or continuing on with litigation, there are good stars for winning your case. You have many opportunities in Virgo to learn and gain practical experience that maximises your position in business. Yet, you are drawn to the more outlandish and obscure - showing off your highly private inner self that only few catch a glimpse off. A more defined ‘self-awareness’ has punctured your 2022, awakening a more mature - more ‘I don’t give a fuck’ version of yourself. This pure, unconditioned consciousness gives way to greater observation for one self and the whole, things that didn’t make sense before, do now and you can forgive almost instantly an issue that’s been bothering you for some time. On the 22nd, the Sun enters Libra, with the Spring Equinox hot on its tail the next day. Tranquility is felt for everything new as solutions are found simply, without any hassle on your behalf. On the 25th, a New Moon engages your 10th house reminding you that prestige is very important to you. Pluto in your sign, beams to this lunation finding you at the right place on the right timing. Your reputation may be dissected by authoritative types profiting from your image, don’t let them! Liberate yourself from a limited reality, that is placed only by your ego - your fear. You are just as mighty and as strong as you believe you are on your best days.
Dates to watch; 2nd, 10th, 11th, 14th, 18th, 23rd, 28th.
Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance, Aquarius. September is dynamic, gifting you the power of self-discovery. It may have been a tumultuous August, showcasing certain weak points where failure masked as a lesson, reminding you it's all about dusting off and trying again. The Sun in Virgo accentuates your 8th house until the 22nd, turning you toward yourself. At times, you like to keep up an image, comparing yourself to the journey other people are on. You relate your own image to that of others and it can leave you frantic, neither here nor there. Slowly you are awakening from this dream, striving more for consistency within your psyche, not to please or impress other people. Venus joins this complex 8th house on the 6th, merging with the Sun bringing to light issues with money, joint accounts, shared finances and the art of give and take within an intimate union. There is no such thing as a static moment, you are constantly in movement and this can be confronting, as you look at both the beauty and terror that encapsulate your life. Owning your fears and your strengths in the same breath remind you that its all about the transformation the 8th house possesses. Mercury stations retrograde in fellow air-sign Libra on the 10th, before switching into Virgo and ending on October 3rd. Frustrations and repeat experiences happen within your 9th house which looks over philosophy, spirituality and exploration. Many can feel affected by this retrograde, despite there being 4 other planets also in retrograde because of how Mercury alternates the Aquarius communication style and way of expressing emotion. You may appear more aloof or distant at this time, side-stepping real issues with family members or friends. You don’t have much energy for deep thinking because there can be problems that crop up financially, professionally and domestically. Keeping a tight budget is advised now - at work you may feel as though you’re being watched or observed, this will be especially true if you’re going for a new role or taking on a larger chunk of authority. Try not to cling to a perception of what you thought you wanted, to experience the fullness of this month, you’ll have to remain impartial.
A Full Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune in your 2nd house of finances on the 10th, creating an expectation with cash that can only result in illusion. Playing into the 8th house vortex which the 2nd house is similar to, issues of power and control will be visible through this week leading up and out of the lunation. At the end of the day, you are seeking acceptance - comfort, and this may feel very confronting - having to ask someone in your life to put you first. Full Moons come to balance what has been stuck, inviting greater love into your life. I know you hate to ask and feel as though you’re an inconvenience but this is just the 2nd house pattern one must move through. The 2nd house centres not only around your job, and what you do to facilitate ‘meaning’ in your life - your self-esteem and your self-worth. It’s a very personal time, requiring security, stability, reinforcement and consolidation. It’s all about choosing to love yourself first - and then anyone and everyone else. The South Node in Scorpio mimics this agenda breaking codependency, often yours - that is masked as ‘wanting to help people who are fragile’. Mars is in your 5th house all month, bringing passion and the right people to your doorstep. It may feel like someone has just landed on your lap and this is all very fortuitous and karmic, look out for their Fire or Earth rising or moon sign. On the 25th, a New Moon in Libra engages your 9th house of foreign faces and places. You’ve been around, you know what it is and what it isn’t, so when you meet a certain individual around this date, you can straight away tell they’re running some sort of game. Public relations, your reputation, positions at work are all up for a do over, entertain whatever comes to your imagination, it may just be the key. Routine life tends to feel boring, engaging you to do something unusual like go on a different route to work, attend a new class or ask someone random for their number. Libra brings you a way to ‘free’ yourself from past traumas and hurdles, acknowledge them. Insight increases maturity, bringing us closer to dissolving all ego.
Dates to watch; 1st, 4th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th, 20th, 22nd, 29th.
Pisces: February 19 - March 20
You’re going through a process of realisation, Pisces. Some people see anguish, others see opportunity. The way in which the collective views the world is vast, staggeringly different. Your strong desire for life to be empathic can at times spill over itself. September is sociable, full of life and chaos, helping you to explore what’s at stake in love and ambition. Jupiter opposes Mercury on the 2nd, causing you to overthink and be hasty. You could feel far away from ideas, plans and decisions. On the 6th, Venus merges with the Sun in your 7th house of committed relationships. Representing other people or the balance within your own home, this is a wonderful period of support and inspiration. Pisces who are married experience a blissful time, respecting and admiring one another. There are many fleeting emotions coming up and you can’t help but feel thankful for the one in your corner. The threads of everyday life escape our mental perception early in the month, and many could be trying to retrieve information that somehow seems secretive, as if it’s not meant for our ears. Huge updates are coming (or have already arrived) for fishes within their domestic, current living situations. If home life has been unpredictable, it calms down significantly now, settling you in a very conventional and safe way. A process of wounding and healing seems to have caught you in its web, breaking your own heart by sabotaging healthy and sane relationships because you cannot accept the notion that things are fine and will continue to be fine. For some Pisces, this is stronger than others, it will depend on your personal chart but is not helped by Mercury retrograde in Libra. There is a deep need to restructure and reform your own mind and heart - breaking away from the cultural conditionings of your family. You may be extra forgetful when Mercury retrograde rolls around on the 10th in Libra. Until the 23rd, relationships are in the forefront of your mind. Virgo then enters the chat, as Mercury dips back into its domicile where it will stay until the retrograde finishes on October 3rd. There may be miscommunication as you fumble with words, exposing the truth about someone close to you.
A major Full Moon in your sign merges with Neptune in your 1st house of image, personality and persona. The 1st house can be very driven by outside, materialistic, superficial issues - Am I good looking enough? Am I smart enough? Ego patterns can show up repeatedly making you come off as showish - selfish - unlike your true self. A lunation in the first house brings attention to you, there can be infantile outbursts, showing your immaturity. The 1st house has a lot to do with our ‘undoing’, so we can attempt to assert ourselves in a rough manner because we actually feel so fragile inside. Despite all that this is a harvest moon is my favourite of the year, symbolising hope and prosperity and in the 1st house is truly illuminating. Some could be launching a project, ending a relationship or moving forward with a dramatic lifestyle change. Either way, expect vulnerabilities, sensitive and volatile emotions to show up and shake you. On the 18th, Mercury opposes Jupiter in your 2nd house of service to the world and financial burden. There can be a dynamic tension felt in the way you speak and think, how you come across may appear unusual to people who know you. There is a point you wish to make but the words don’t come out in the right way, so you may come into more of a problem than if you stayed quiet. The typical fish lives for relationships, it is their salivation. This is so evident on the 24th, when a Venus opposition to Neptune pulls you into a dream world where you think everything is perfect when it isn’t. Illusions are strong with this transit, as are your ideals - you may hold someone to a judgement that you yourself can’t promise. There is a lot to unpack, but you will appear impractical and overly sensitive. It's up to you, and only you to re-emerge from this with composure and calm. Do not go overboard, the people in your life just won’t get it. On the 25th, a potent New Moon in Libra sets a lesson in humility in your 8th house. Non violent communication gives you a chance to say your piece clearly - without reactive heat and emotion poisoning the dialogue. The 8th house is about joint resources, intimate changes and prominent dreams, there will be a restlessness felt in your immediate environment as you expand your wants and needs, surprising even yourself. Set intentions for the next 6 months on how you wish to improve sex, finances and spiritual debts.
Dates to watch; 4th, 9th, 10th, 14th, 20th, 22nd, 27th, 29th.
