We've just entered Virgo season, and September is hosting a pair of eclipses that are asking you to get organized, get intentional, and gently feel for how the current of your life is flowing. Noticing the subtle (or dramatic) details will help you release, re-pattern, and step toward what serves your next phase of becoming.
Jupiter and the Sun may still be amplifying the gentle waters of Cancer, but it’s Mercury and Uranus that's calling the main melody of these horoscopes for your rising and Sun signs. You may be experiencing a curious mix of hiccups, reversals, and energized-yet-stable focus.
These horoscopes for your Sun and rising signs focus on what Jupiter's journey through Cancer means for you, especially this month. They also include a nod to this week's recent Sagittarius Full Moon, which offered a useful doorway for making the most of the current astrology.
As the Sun arrives in Gemini today, it receives an infusion from Neptune (idealism) and the asteroid Ceres (nourishment) in Aries. This looks to me like an awareness of what others need, and the willingness to actively support and feed those them. Yet between now and the Gemini New Moon on May 26, Saturn enters Aries -- emphasizing why nourishing actions now will matter in the long run.
We're in the heart of Taurus season! Yet planets are also gathering in fire signs, adding a sense of energy to this earthy month, until the Sun enters Gemini. You can either watch my video interview with Luigi or read the highlights in written form.
Energizing planets moving forward in fire signs! Can you feel it? A sense that forward progress -- maybe even (gasp!) momentum -- is not only possible, but potentially enjoyable? Are areas of your life or your psyche that had been intensely feeling and absorbing and reacting for a long time finally starting to dry out, spark up, or stabilize? Even if your answer is "no," feeling into the fiery energy could prove illuminating.
The keynote for the degree of this New Moon reads, "The value of anticipating and preparing for expectable conditions." Yet the future is not a foregone conclusion, and there are variations and layers of "expectable conditions" we can prepare for. I offer these horoscopes for your Sun & sigins signs as a way to stay grounded while you thread that needle.
Sometimes when I'm trying to write about the current astrology, it suddenly hits me that I'm basically living the dynamics at play. Writing about this Full Moon was one of those times -- annoyingly -- marked by the irritation and continual adjustment described by the chart's overarching aspect pattern.
We're building toward a Full Moon on Saturday across the signs Aries and Libra, emphasizing relationship dynamics and the balance (or lack thereof) between "me as an individual" and "us together." At the same time, Venus (ruler of Libra) will station direct in late Pisces.
We are swiftly closing in on the second eclipse of this season's pair: a partial solar eclipse with the Aries New Moon on Saturday, March 29. This eclipse is an opportunity to adjust and revise your attitude toward what you want -- and let your actions follow from there as this new cycle begins.
