Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Sun sets on Virgo Season, a time when we had to get back to the practicalities of lives. Hopefully with things in order, we arrive into Libra Season this weekend. It’s the equinox as well; equal day and night. It’s also the unofficial start of eclipse season.
The Virgo Sun makes a supportive trine to Pluto in Capricorn today, a powerful dynamic to put into anything that needs transformation. Seeing how both Virgo and Capricorn are earth signs, this is an energy to make a physical transformation.
The Sagittarius Moon opens our eyes to the world, getting us to dream of distant lands and inspiring us to travel and explore. Or, to bring the world to our home. It’s also a philosophical day, one that wants us to open up and share our knowledge with others.
The Virgo Sun makes its annual opposition to Neptune in Pisces, an axis of signs that the Sun and Neptune have been locked in since 2012. Neptune can make us question reality, light up our dreams, and pull us beyond the physical world. Stay grounded.
It’s the last days of Virgo Season, a season to regain focus and practice our craft. It’s one last push with the practical energy of Virgo before we arrive in Libra. The Sun also opposes Neptune and reality may be hazy, the veil thin, our dreams vivid.
A Scorpio Moon starts our week off, one that takes the energies of the recent new moon and gets them moving. It’s a day to organize, strategize, and weigh our options. Mars in Libra is also keen on investments and investing in the future.
Mercury turns direct in Virgo after a three-week rewind. We needed to get new perspectives, test old systems, and recheck the facts. What did we discover? Mercury Direct also gives life to yesterday’s Virgo New Moon. Time to set projects and initiatives into motion.
Welcome to the Virgo New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when our attention turns to the real world. As an earth sign, Virgo teaches us the importance of putting things in order, having an attention to detail, and making sure our lives flow.
It’s been a quiet start to the week, but something is stirring and moving behind the scenes. We’re in the run up to tomorrow’s Virgo New Moon followed by Mercury’s direct turn, also in Virgo. The coming days are a time to make choices and take concrete action.
The Moon grows quieter. It continues to be a time to pull inward and reflect. With the Moon in Leo, daydream and find creative inspiration to fuel new projects or initiatives. The coming Virgo New Moon will be a time to put these inspirations into reality.
A Virgo New Moon brings us deeper into the energies of Virgo Season, a time when we refocus on our earthly lives and make sure everything is running smoothly — mind and body. With Mercury also turning direct, it’s a time to reorganize, clean up, and clean out.
The Moon is waning as we start the week, pulling inward in preparation for a new moon on September 14. It’s time for us to reflect on all that has changed and awakened since the Leo New Moon of August 16. Meditate and open up to new visions.
