We still have some nice earth energy happening this week to help us make actual real world progress.  So with that in mind what are you working toward?

Monday September 10th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Virgo void-of-course at 9:12 AM MDT
Moon enters Libra at 9:20 AM MDT
Mars enters Aquarius

What it means:
Mars went direct in Capricorn after he finished up his retrograde cycle just a couple of weeks ago.  So here he is, making his way back into the sign of Aquarius for the second time this year. He first entered Aquarius in mid May.  He went retrograde in Aquarius near the end of June. He dipped back into Capricorn in mid August. And now he is headed back into Aquarius where he stays until mid November.  Mars is a powerful planet and to have him go over the same territory for such a long span of time (May through November) puts a lot of pressure for those of us with planets in the sign of Aquarius.  Mars wants to take action. He can be reckless if he is not thoughtfully directed though so try to think about the big picture and what you are trying to accomplish over this period of time. The sign of Aquarius is often linked to revolutionaries and inventors so you can think about what areas of your life are in the process of being revolutionized and what ideas are just waiting to be invented.  Fighting for what you believe in is important, just make sure you are fighting the right battle. Sometimes Mars will simply fight for the sake of fighting, instead of serving a larger goal. Ask yourself if your current battle is in your own best interest and if it is also serving the greater good. Aquarius is, after all, a humanitarian.

Questions to ask:
Am I fighting the good fight?  Is there a greater meaning to my actions?  How can I revolutionize my life? How can I better serve my own best interest and align that with the greater good?


Tuesday September 11th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Libra void-of-course at 4:47 PM MDT
Sun sextile Jupiter
Sun trine Pluto

What it means:
Jupiter and Pluto make an exact trine aspect tomorrow and today the sun is connecting the two of them.  The three planet pattern of sun, Jupiter and Pluto is what I call a wealth signature. Your investments pay off … so what are you investing in?  Hopefully things that have deep meaning (Pluto), things that bring you joy (the sun), and things that have room to grow (Jupiter). Look around your life today and see what you are investing in both metaphorically and realistically in your life.  Investments should add value to your bottom line, whether we are talking about friendships, work, finances or hobbies. There is an optimism to this aspect that is really delightful, even if I can hardly believe I am using the word “delightful” to describe anything involving Pluto.  Still, there it is. We feel good. We grow toward deeper meaning and richer life experience. Invest in yourself today.

Questions to ask:
Am I investing my time, money, emotions and energy wisely?  As I adding value to my life through my associations? How can I increase the meaning in my life on a daily basis?


Wednesday September 12th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon enters Scorpio at 12:15 PM MDT
Jupiter sextile Pluto
Venus opposite Uranus
Venus sextile Saturn

What it means:
We have a lot going on today, starting with the exact sextile of Jupiter and Pluto (see yesterday for more info on this).  Jupiter expands everything it touches and Pluto is represents power, fear, depth, history, transformation and so much more.  Yesterday I talked about how Jupiter and Pluto together can show a wealth signature and wealth and power do kind of go hand in hand.  This is a sextile so the energy here is supportive but if you have Pluto problems this can easily go another way for you. Since Jupiter expands what it touches if you are struggling with grief, death, trauma or any similar themes this day can bring out some of those hidden feelings.  If that happens then allow yourself the kindness to process things with love so that you can release what no longer serves you emotionally.

Venus is creating a 3 planet pattern today by connecting Uranus and Saturn.  Her opposition to Uranus can be a little uncomfortable, it’s like learning to love your weirdness and your awkwardness.  If you can do now can you love the other person’s weirdness, too? There can also be a need for independence in relationships under this influence.  Now the Venus aspect to Saturn is quite the opposite. Can you love your regular old boring bits? How about your partner’s boringness? I am kind of joking but kind of not joking, too.  Where Venus-Uranus desires independence now Venus-Saturn desires stability and commitment. The real question is how to balance both aspects of yourself and create harmony with your partner’s need for the same balance of independence and stability.

Questions to ask yourself:
Am I using my power wisely?  Are hidden issues coming to the surface and if so how can I come to terms with those issues?

How can I balance personal freedom with stability and commitment in my life?  How can I embrace both my normalness and my uniqueness?


Thursday September 13th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Scorpio
Mercury opposite Neptune

What it means:

Questions to ask:
How can I simplify my responsibilities?  How can I prioritize and then let go of things which aren’t really that important in the grand scheme of things?  What an I do to meet my obligations in a manner that allows for a firm foundation for the future to be built?


Friday September 14th ~
What’s going on today:
Moon in Scorpio void-of-course at 2:54 AM MDT
Moon enters Sagittarius at 4:45 PM MDT

We have a void-of-course moon most of the day which means keep your head low and just take care of standard business.  We often feel aimless or our mind wanders during a void-of-course moon so do what you can to stay focused and know that by early evening this feeling will have passed.


Saturday September 15th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Leo Sagittarius
Mercury trine Pluto

What it means:
Mercury rules the thoughts we think and the words we say, among other things.  Pluto rules our shadow side, our secrets, our fears. Put them together and we can rephrase our thinking today in order to support the exploration of our shadow side.  We can talk about our secrets in a manner that is healthy and accepting. We can shape courage in our mind to face our fears.

Questions to ask yourself:
What can I do today that helps to reframe my dark side?  How can I use my thoughts and words to empower myself?


Sunday September 16th ~
What’s going on today:
Moon in Sagittarius void-of-course at 5:15 PM MDT
Mercury sextile Jupiter

What it means:
With Mercury Jupiter aspects the keywords are to “think big”!  Have you been selling yourself or your plans short? If so you can utilize Jupiter’s natural expansion and optimism to lighten up and reach for the stars.


Questions to ask yourself:
How can I expand my thinking to harness my natural optimism?


What are you building toward this week?
