We have a potent week full of planetary transits.

In this week’s Astrology, a Lunar eclipse will occur in Pisces, causing us to reflect on behavior that impedes us. Libra season begins, encouraging us to crave harmony in our lives. There’s a 3-planet aspect pattern that could give us a nudge to work on unresolved romantic scenarios. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are reaching retrograde turning point markers, leading to the need to review our unconscious patterns. And Mercury plus Venus are the most active planets these next 7 days, causing us to work on communication and relationship issues.

9/16 Venus Complexities: Yods And Challenging Aspects

Over this entire week, Venus will make 4 complex alignments with an aspect pattern thrown in for good measure.

Venus’s transits to Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will bring up a situation where we need to work on problematic patterns in relationships and finances over the next 7 days. So, this is a period to get honest about situations causing us to self-sabotage.

On top of that, Venus will form a 3-planet aspect pattern called a yod. This configuration will involve Uranus and Neptune with Venusian at the pressure point. For this reason, there could be an urge to heal scenarios that cause drama, work on self-respect, and learn to value ourselves more.

It could also help us see why it’s time to break co-dependent behavior, look at why we’re attracted to instability, and how to set boundaries with others. Other ways these configurations can manifest are through jealousy, over-suspicion, pettiness, and control issues. It could also show us why keeping our finances in order or considering better career options is essential.

9/17 Lunar Eclipse In Pisces: How To Not Self-Sabotage

Welcome to another eclipse season in 2024.

Over these next two weeks, we’ll get our first taste of the Pisces-Virgo eclipse tone, but we still have one on the Aries-Libra axis.

During lunar eclipses, we reflect on what aspects of our lives require change. Essentially, they allow us to eliminate unconstructive behavior that no longer benefits us.

With Pisces energy, we might examine the areas where we can no longer get in our own way. For this reason, we might become aware of self-sabotaging behavior that we weren't conscious of, undermining our ability to be stable.

This feeling could help us evaluate what is going well and what still needs improvement or let go of things that aren't helping us on our spiritual path. Some of this could help us enter a healing era in our lives.

Under this influence, we could feel inspired to heal the parts of us that have lost our sense of magic with the scenarios in our lives. Therefore, this could be a period to feel inspired to keep up or get on a journey that promotes being more in tune with our mystical side.

A vibe like this could help us cut through an artistic block, leading to a return to our creativity. Some of the things we might feel inspired to get back into our writing, music, singing, acting, and other art forms.

Energetically, this sign teaches us the importance of empathy towards others and ourselves. So, this might have been a period to learn the art of compassion to move forward in your life.

The mutable modality will feel this event more than other zodiac signs. Therefore, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, between 20 to 29 degrees, will get the most out of this eclipse.

9/19 Mercury Complexities: 4 Days Of Edgy Mercurial Transits

Mercury will make intricate alignments from now until the 22nd, involving Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, and Pluto, which could lead to harsh thinking, minimizing problems, and edgy interactions.

For this reason, we’ll need to be mindful of being too hard on ourselves and others. There could be a need to shut down because of how we’re feeling, leading to the urge to limit our interactions. Sometimes, we might feel numb and downplay scenarios due to our low bandwidth for communication. It could also be when people act arrogantly or domineering in conversations.

9/19 The Sun’s Alignments To The Outer Planets: Retrograde Beginnings, Midpoints, And Endings

Thursday to Sunday brings in the Sun’s synodic cycle, which transits to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, which marks these celestial bodies in various phases of their retrograde period.

The connection to Uranus marks the opening and acceleration of this planet's regressive motion.

A vibe like this could bring a more carefree tone to the weekend. Another way this manifests is through breakthroughs, being ourselves, and getting out of stale periods. Such vibes will invigorate our ego and confidence, enabling us to solve challenging problems and feel a sense of freedom. Also, it brings in the urge to participate in novel experiences, get together with friends, or pursue cutting-edge pastimes.

By the 21st, the Sun will connect with Neptune at the midpoint of its retrograde cycle.

The opposition is a marker that this retrograde is 50% complete, so we only have 3 months left of this regressive cycle.

With this, we could realize our unconscious ego problems and destructive habits. We may receive a reality check about our persona or the facets of someone else that we lacked awareness about, leading to a sobering moment. Additionally, this vibe makes us aware of extrasensory perception more than usual, so we may be able to perceive energies that we would otherwise ignore.

Then, on the 22nd, just as the Sun is about to enter Libra, it will connect with Pluto in a trine, signaling the final days of Pluto retrograde. So, this is the stage of Pluto’s deceleration over the next 3 weeks.

Through this phase of the regressive cycle, we’ll look at how past experiences have impacted our capacity to let go of old baggage. Therefore, these upcoming weeks may be a stage of identifying what's preventing us from moving forward and why it's time to change unproductive circumstances.

Connecting with our inner power is another way this could materialize since this combination supports the positive facets of our ego and helps to remove any obstacles to self-expression.

9/22 Libra Season: Boosting Your Confidence Through Close Relationships

Welcome to Libra Season 2024!!!

And to all the Libras out there, Happy Birthday!

In the Northern Hemisphere, the Libra season occurs during the Fall Equinox, which brings in equal day and night.

This energy makes us more inclined to concentrate on harmony, giving us the urge to seek balance in our lives.

During Libra season, our ego gains an incredible boost from social interactions and sharing, whether romantic or platonic.

The desire for romantic interactions gets emphasized during this transit, which could deepen the need for love, flirtation, and passion. Energy like this helps us become more open to making concessions because maintaining harmony and peace in our relationships is more important than winning an argument.

There is, of course, a lower expression of how this transit can be more prominent.

Codependency, passive-aggressive conduct, and resentment stemming from holding our discomfort inside to maintain harmony are a few of these themes. Furthermore, it could be problematic to be unable to decide because doing so would change the course of events.

Social vibes last until the 17th, aiding us in feeling more open to interacting with others. Then, the opposite energy of solitude will be present on Tuesday, leading to the urge for personal space.

From the 19th to the 22nd, psychic vibes will be the highest energy on the graph.

These intuitive tones will be present with a smidge of good luck, emotional sensitivity, mental vibes, and romance. For this reason, Thursday through Sunday has a mixed-bag feel, causing us to feel like our moods fluctuate.
