We are past the Eclispes, but still in Eclipse Season until the New Moon on 9/10.

​

Eclipses signify times of fated/destined changes or events in our lives and the world around us! They are like supercharged New/Full Moons, said to be 10 times more powerful than a normal lunation. They are times when our most steady lights, the Sun and Moon, go dark. Eclipses were seen as negative omens by ancient people and astrologers. It is advised to avoid charging your crystals/tools under the light of the Eclispes. It is also advised to avoid intention setting and manifestation rituals during Eclispes. We do not want to charge sacred items or do intention setting/manifestations because Eclispes open portals of energy, and we NEVER know what's coming through portals. We want to be vigilant of whatever comes in, however. Eclispes are times to pray, fast, and lie low while the energy is whirling around us. Eclispes are like energetic Cat 5 hurricanes; it's not advised to venture out into these storms to explore. Whatever we pull in if we are manifesting/charging will have the energy of Eclispes imprinted. Eclispes are chaotic times; why invite more chaos than necessary?!

Powerful beginnings and endings often take place around Eclipses. Trust that whatever is coming in or leaving our lives is fated. Destiny is in the driver's seat in our lives, and Eclipses are known to course-correct us if we've gotten on the wrong path or are stuck. It may not feel like it, but whatever is happening IS for our Highest Good. We may need some time and space from the events to see the Higher Purpose in the Eclipse events. 

We are likely to hear more about pregnancies, births, engagements, wedding announcements, as well as deaths, relationships ending, or job losses during this time. This first Eclipse in Leo is a Solar Eclipse (always a New Moon); it's a South Node Eclipse, so significant, powerful endings, wrapped in new beginnings, are coming in. Something is being taken away and replaced with something else. This is a spiritual course correction, because Jupiter is also in Leo. ​​​​​​​​

Hungry Ghost Month!

If you're out partying, please be careful and thoughtful of your state. Avoid excess alcohol and drugs. Protect your energy. The energy/psychic vampires are out in droves! In Chinese Astrology, we are in the Hungry Ghost month. It started yesterday and lasts until 9/10. This is a time when the gates of the underworld open and spirits are allowed to roam freely. Yikes! It is advised to avoid going out late at night; if possible, avoid alcohol/drugs; wear protective amulets; avoid covering your head; avoid swimming at sunset. In China, plates of food are set out at crossroads; incense is burned so that the souls may "eat" and be satisfied. It is a time for prayer, protection, and regular energy clearing and cleansing.

​

The week is off to an intense start!

Monday and Tuesday are the most challenging days of the week! 

​

Venus enters her Rx Shadow late Monday morning, then we have the powerful Jupiter-Saturn trine in the evening! This brings us back to 12/21/20, when we had the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0* of Aquarius! Think back to this time: what seeds were planted? We then had the Jupiter-Saturn square on 6/15/25. This marked a challenge or pointed out where we need to take action. Now we have the Jupiter -Saturn trine! This is incredibly supportive, uplifting, inspirational energy. We need to use it to see benefits. Trines make things feel smooth, so they often go unnoticed and underutilized! 

​

On Tuesday, we have an extremely tense and uncomfortable Mars-Saturn square! Ouch! This aspect addresses the consequences for our actions! It's an exhausting energy; we could feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Stress and strain are hallmarks of this aspect. This is an accident-prone aspect, so please be careful! It's a broken bone aspect, so no unnecessary risks! Avoid overdoing it in the gym; muscle sprains/strains are also likely. Saturn is dealing out some serious karma now, so we should clean up our act before we get a Saturnian smack! Mars does get some Mutual Reception from Saturn, as Mars rules Aries, where Saturn is transiting! Mars is currently in its sign of Fall, so he's thrilled to get any support! This is a time of harsh consequences. It's not the time to ask for a raise or favors. This aspect is like driving with the brakes on!

​

Shortly after the Mars-Saturn square on Tuesday, Mercury inconjuncts Saturn, delivering some hard news to us! This is a blindsiding aspect; brace yourself for news/information coming your way! This is also an accident-prone energy, so caution! 

Mercury then sextiles Mars, bringing him some much-needed support after his brutal battle with Saturn! Mercury and Mars are trouble-making, mischievous friends. Avoid taunting your boss/authority figures! This aspect can bring in solutions, helpful friends, and some timely support. 

​

The Sun inconjuncts Saturn on Saturday evening. This is a reality check aspect. The Sun is doing inventory and notices that something is off. We may need to reestablish some rules and boundaries! Unexpected reality checks, harsh realities, and karmic slaps are likely. Take good care of your health; take anything coming up seriously! It's an ideal self-check time! 

​

Venus is in her Retrograde Shadow now.

We are officially in the pre-Venus Rx Shadow, which means that themes from the upcoming Venus Rx are coming up. Pay attention to what happens, especially around love, relationships, beauty, pleasures, fairness, and legal situations! Venus rules these areas, and as she slows down and retrogrades, these themes are highlighted. This is NOT the time for plastic surgeries, shopping sprees, radical changes to your style/appearance. We are unlikely to be happy with the results! 

This is also a time when relationship challenges spike! If dating someone new, take things very slowly! If you meet someone new, or become interested/attracted to someone during the Shadow/Retrograde, chances are that by the time Venus Stations Direct, you'll be over it, in a BIG WAY! Initially, it could feel like fiery chemistry and passion, even like a fated connection, but remember, Venus isn't seeing things or thinking clearly! Venus begins her Rx in Scorpio, then retrogrades back into Libra. Think back to the Fall of 2018; this was the last Venus Rx in Scorpio! Similar themes could come up! Intense passions that have a destructive outcome are highly likely! 

For now, Venus is still in her home sign in Libra, so although she's in her Rx Shadow, she's still capable of good things. Once she enters Scorpio, her sign of Fall, the vibe shifts significantly! Beware of self-undoing during this Venus Rx cycle! 

​

​Today:​​​​

 

Happy September!

​

It's a challenging morning! 

Hunker down, one step at a time, and pick your battles. 

This is NOT the day to mess around and take unnecessary risks! 

​

While we have lots of heavy energy today, there's a theme of the underdog coming out on top. Move with focus, integrity, truth, and discernment! 

​

Venus entered her Retrograde Shadow yesterday! This is HUGE! So, Venus enters her Rx Shadow now in Libra on 8/31, enters Scorpio on 9/10, Stations Rx on 10/3, Retrogrades back to Libra on 10/25, Stations Direct on 11/13, and finally clears her Rx Shadow on 12/15! The Goddess of Love and Beauty is slowing down, entering her Retrograde Shadow period, also inviting us to slow down and spend more time in contemplation and reflection. This is NOT a supportive time for Venusian activities. It's great for cleaning out the closet and getting rid of old makeup or skincare products; donate unused items. 

​​

We have the tense Mars-Saturn square early this morning! This aspect feels like driving with the brakes on! There's tension, a feeling of restriction mixed with the need to push forward. This is NOT the day to test authority figures! There is, however, a theme of the aggressor overpowering the established system, due to Saturn being weakened in its sign of Fall, in Aries. Mars is also in his sign of Fall in Cancer, but Mars rules Aries, so Saturn is answering to Mars! So Mars has some secret power here! This aspect can feel like a piling on of misfortune at first glance, because both Malefics are in a hard aspect, both in their sign of Fall! Ancient Astrologers believed that when there's too much bad, it actually turns into something good! Beneficial misfortunes are a hallmark of this energy. This is a time when someone being punished by the law gets off with a technicality, leaving the authority figures with "egg on their faces." These planets in square usually signify karmic backlashes! It also signifies stress, strain, injuries, accidents, head injuries, and broken bones. This can also trigger domestic violence events. Please be careful and cautious. Make sure that you feel safe! 

Pray for peace and protection. 

This aspect, on the positive side, supports hard work, dedication to completing tasks, hard-won victories, and rebellion against oppression. It's an ideal time to reestablish boundaries and challenge ourselves! We don't grow when things are easy; we grow when they're hard! ​

​

Mercury is busy this morning, highlighting the Mars-Saturn square!

 

Mercury blindsides Saturn as we begin the day, adding to the tension in the air. Authority figures are coming down hard! This is NOT the time to mess around! Surprising, upsetting information is coming to light. Follow the rules! 

​

Mercury then sextiles Mars; this aspect gets the energy moving again. Mercury and Mars together are mischievous jokers. This aspect helps to lighten the mood of this heavy morning. 

​

The Moon is Waning, decreasing in light. She's going down fast! This is an ideal time for reflection, contemplation, and turning inward. Get more rest during the Waning Moon times, focus on protection work, and energy clearing.

 

The Moon enters Taurus early this morning. The Moon loves being in Taurus; she's exalted here. The Moon moves through some tough territory for most of the morning. We end the day with a grounding, restorative Earth trine. 

​

The Moon enters Taurus at 4:01 a.m.; the Moon in Taurus is stable, persistent, sensual, materialistic, possessive, security-oriented, comfort-loving, patient, determined, stubborn, and practical. 

The Moon in Taurus is answering to Venus in Libra in her Rx Shadow.

The Moon is exalted in Taurus; she LOVES being here!

​

Moon in Taurus conjuncts Chiron Rx in Taurus at 4:55 a.m.; we know we have some healing work to do on our physical bodies. Be gentle with yourself this morning. This conjunction can make us feel sensitive, emotional, or wanting to hide under the covers. It's a tough day, so that's understandable. 

​

Mars in Cancer squares Saturn Rx in Aries at 5:59 a.m.; battles are raging this morning. Domestic drama, disturbances, fights, or accidents around the home are likely now. Please be careful. Be gentle with yourself and others. These are the Malefic planets, both in their sign of Fall, in a square, which is a Martian aspect, on Mars's Day! It's like a crap sandwich! The only saving grace is that Mars has Mutual Reception with Saturn in Aries, as Mars rules Aries, so the young man, warrior, rebel has more power than the old fallen authority figure. It's a time when elderly males, bosses, leaders, Kings could pass away or step down from positions of power, giving way to the younger, strong masculine to rise to prominence. It's an underdog aspect. 

This aspect can feel frustrating, restricting, and straining. It feels like we can get ahead or be held back. It's like driving with the brakes on or like hitting a wall. What is required is calm, steady focus and dedication to the task at hand. It's understanding that there's a painful process of growth to get our goals met. This is a "No" aspect, so it's not the day to ask for favors or raises! This aspect delivers karma, and we are still in Eclipse Season! 

​

Mercury in Virgo inconjuncts Saturn in Aries at 8:09 am; ouch! Mercury is getting lost in the intricate details, and Saturn just wants to get the job done! They aren't seeing eachother's perspectives, and this creates arguments and tensions. Authority figures are coming down hard on us. There's an important lesson to learn here. Inconjunctions work like a seesaw; we need understanding to go back and forth and keep the energy flowing. Blindsiding information is coming to light. Virgo is highly investigative and is ready to reveal all the information. The authority figure, Saturn, does not like what it's hearing. Once we know, there's no going back!  We MUST act with integrity. This aspect is ideal for practicing integrity and trusting your intuition. 

​

​Mercury in Virgo sextiles Mars in Cancer at 9:21 am; "I get by with a little help from my friends." Mercury and Mars are cosmic mischievous buddies! They are also formidable battle buddies! Mercury gets things moving again after this morning's stuck energy and is supporting Mars to break free! This aspect can signify military action. This is a fantastic aspect for cleaning and organizing our homes or workspace. Scan your energy for leaks, heal and repair them with liquid pink-golden light. 

​

Moon in Taurus squares Pluto Rx in Aquarius at 10:08 am; ugh, another hard aspect! This aspect signifies an epic power struggle, power plays, and bullies. The Moon in Taurus is steady and strong, but Pluto is the farther-out planet, which makes it more powerful. Pluto is Out of Bounds now, which means that he's not following the rules laid out by the Sun. This can signify leaders or authority figures that abuse their power. This aspect reminds us that we need to reclaim our personal power, stand in our power center, and not allow outer forces to rule our minds or control us. Go back to the Earth, ground, and center. 

This aspect holds for most of the day. 

Stay strong.

​

Moon in Taurus trines the Sun in Virgo at 8:43 pm; finally, a release! The Sun is pulling back its light from the Moon, releasing more of the eclipse energy. Let it go! This is a glorious grounding, restorative, replenishing aspect. This is an ideal time for gentle self-care. 

​

Create a sacred, protected sleep space before going to bed tonight.

​

Moon in Taurus squares Jupiter in Leo at 4:19 a.m. on 9/2; pay attention to your dreams! This aspect can signify tensions and discomfort. If we want to accomplish our dreams, we will need to challenge our present circumstances! Growth takes work and dedication. 

​

Moon in Taurus sextiles Mars in Cancer at 4:48 a.m. on 9/2; this is a sweet, healing aspect. The Moon is exalted and has Mutual Reception with Mars. This aspect encourages repair and healing of our physical bodies. Pay attention to your dreams.

​

Moon in Taurus trines Mercury in Virgo at 6:47 a.m. on 9/2; this is a psychic aspect! Pay attention to information, signs, and omens! This is a grounding Earth trine, so practical solutions are available to us. Spend time barefoot in nature, even if you only have a few minutes. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, and Mercury is at home in Virgo, so we have a significant boost for nurturing sweet energy combined with practical thinking and discernment. Today is fantastic for doing some late Summer cleaning and clearing! 

​

The Moon goes void of course with this aspect and remains void until Thursday morning! Eek! Thankfully, the void Moon aspect is nice and supportive. So we have an all-day-long void Moon on Wednesday! 

Void Moons are great for working behind the scenes, addressing things we've been avoiding, cleaning, organizing, and energy clearing. I strongly recommend a deep late-summer cleaning! Void Moons are a perfect time to unplug from the outer world, veg out, rest, relax, and regroup our energy. The Moon is offline; that means we are too. 

Void Moons are NOT a good time for launching businesses, projects, or anything that we want to grow and develop over time! It's not a good time for having or making important appointments, such as with a doctor, dentist, or lawyer. Grocery shopping is not recommended, and neither is buying important appliances or furniture!  Avoid arguments, fights, and confrontations. Things tend to escalate quickly and get messy during long void Moons! It's not worth the hassle; just wait until the Moon enters Gemini to address any issues.
