Energies of the Week   September 9-15, 2024 ✨💫🌌

This week begins with challenges that invite us to confront reality, seek clarity, acknowledge our limitations, and grasp the deeper lessons. As the days unfold, we will find opportunities to bring greater order to our lives, establish supportive habits that nurture our goals, and, as we near the end of the week, benefit from favorable conditions that offer a breath of fresh air to our emotional well-being, relationships, finances, and creativity.

✨💫On Monday, September 9  we are still under the influence of the Sun-Saturn square that peaked at 16°01’ Virgo-Pisces. This aspect, forming amid Saturn’s retrograde, activates the ongoing Jupiter-Saturn square, which has recently imposed significant barriers to progress, especially for those in the mutable signs (Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces) in the second decan.

This energy might bring pessimism, delays, or obstacles stemming from external constraints or internal fears and insecurities. It calls us to find a balance between optimism and expansion while embracing the discipline and boundaries imposed by Saturn. While this influence may undermine vitality and self-confidence, it also offers self-awareness and growth opportunities. It encourages us to mature, commit to what we desire, and build solid foundations for our goals.

The key here is to avoid excessive criticism, perfectionism, and fear of failure. Recognize your weaknesses, forgive mistakes, and transform them into wisdom and strength. Be cautious in conflicts with authoritative figures, as they could prove to be futile battles.

Mercury, now direct at 29° Leo, forms a Yod aspect (the “Finger of God”) with Pluto and Neptune at 29° Capricorn-Pisces, complicating communication and thought processes. This aspect, occurring for the third time, brings confusion and asks us to make adjustments based on what we have learned during Mercury’s retrograde. This configuration signals the critical closure of a cycle and calls for growth, especially in areas highlighted by 29° Leo in your chart. Be mindful of transportation, communications, personal data, and the safety of children and small animals, as these are particularly vulnerable under this influence.

✨💫On Tuesday, September 10, Mercury enters Virgo, the sign of its exaltation and rulership, and remains there until September 26. This transit will provide the clarity and methodology needed to plan our next steps, find solutions, and make improvements, and will also help us ensure that our routines support our physical and emotional well-being. This second entry of Mercury into Virgo, following its retrograde period, will bring greater clarity, allowing us to piece together the puzzle and tackle unfinished business from the past.

This transit will particularly benefit earth and water signs, enhancing communication, perception, negotiation, and productivity. It will support efforts to advance plans, manage daily life more effectively, and make better decisions.

✨💫On Wednesday, September 11, the First Quarter Moon 🌓at 19° Sagittarius♐ in sextile to Venus, could bring a sense of freedom, optimism, and enthusiasm to follow a vision. However, this moon phase also forms part of a Grand Cross with the Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn, making us feel more acutely aware of our limitations. It reminds us that more time, energy, and a different strategy are needed to achieve our goals. This influence will be particularly strong for those with planets between 17°-21° of the mutable signs.

On the same day, the quincunx between Venus and retrograde Saturn at 15° Libra-Pisces highlights the need for practical and effective solutions to emotional or financial dilemmas. This alignment brings personal restrictions and emotional distance in relationships, making it difficult to express love and affection. It urges you to acknowledge inner conflicts, take responsibility, and mature. Accepting the imperfections and challenges in relationships and making conscious changes in how you connect, while being willing to compromise where needed, may be most helpful.

✨💫On Thursday, September 12, the sextile between Mercury and Mars at 4° Virgo-Cancer positively influences the first decan of earth and water signs. This alignment offers a chance to revisit issues that arose during Mercury’s retrograde in early August, find creative solutions, and manage situations better.

 Mercury in Virgo strengthens analytical and practical thinking, providing a sense of organization, while Mars in Cancer gives strong motivation for security and action driven by emotion. This combination allows for realistic and intuitive decisions, clear communication, successful business meetings, agreements, and negotiations. It also supports resolving personal or family matters while considering emotional parameters.

On the same day, the Sun-Jupiter square at 20° Virgo-Gemini may lead us to desire more, exaggerate, or overestimate our abilities and circumstances. Meanwhile, there could be an overwhelming amount of tasks and information that are challenging to organize, resulting in scattered energy or exhaustion due to excessive expectations. Still, with realism, method, moderation, openness, and flexibility, we can seize opportunities for learning, growth, and creativity.

✨💫On Friday, September 13, the quincunx between Mercury and the North Node at 6° Virgo-Aries challenges communication and could cause friction in families or groups. This influence urges us to take the initiative, improve our decision-making processes, and align with our path of growth and purpose, despite doubts.

 It is a time to be flexible, make mental adjustments, recognize mistakes, and identify what is blocking us from moving forward. If you are affected by this aspect, trust your abilities and defend your ideas, even against others’ expectations.

✨💫On Saturday, September 14, the quincunx between the Sun and Chiron at 22° Virgo-Aries offers an opportunity for deeper healing and personal growth if you decide to address methodically long-standing issues related to physical, mental, emotional, or financial well-being. This challenging angle may bring personal weaknesses to the surface, urging you to make corrections, stop doubting your capabilities, and find practical ways to heal the problems troubling you.

 ✨💫The week concludes on a high note as on Sunday, September 15, the harmonious trine between Venus and Jupiter at 20° Libra-Gemini, favoring the end of the second and the beginning of the third decan of air and fire signs, is expected to boost romance, joy, optimism, and generosity, and provide new momentum in social connections, finances, creativity, and significant opportunities for growth.

Thanks to the harmonious synergy of the planets of love and expansion, which promote harmony, aesthetics, cooperation, and diplomacy, and with Venus in her strong position in Libra, you can now cultivate friendships and romantic relationships, enrich your experiences, and invest in connections that can expand your horizons or even elevate your social status.

Make the most of this combination of charm, good fortune, expansive energy, and sociability that can help with personal growth. This is an ideal moment for a romantic date, leisure activities, artistic endeavors, and nurturing harmonious relationships that bring more support, joy, and fulfillment.

As we move towards a transformative and powerful lunar eclipse in the spiritual sign of Pisces, whose energy we are already beginning to feel, there are great opportunities for cleansing and liberation. This is a time to see with the eyes of the soul and trust in the greater cosmic plan, allowing the wave of life to carry us exactly where we need to be.

Wishing you a  blessed week ahead!✨🕊☮

With love💓💓💓
