Astrology Forecast September 16 – 22, 2024

This week begins with an opportunity for deep release and heightened intuitive awareness. Expect some powerful emotional and spiritual shifts as the Full Moon transits Pisces today and culminates in a partial Lunar Eclipse tomorrow.

The energy of a full moon is one of culmination and closure, and with the partial eclipse amplifying its energy, we may experience intense feelings surfacing. Pisces, a water sign known for empathy, dreams, and spiritual connection, will heighten our emotional and metaphysical sensitivity and push us to confront unresolved feelings, patterns, and relationships.

Take some time over the next two days to let go of whatever is holding you back – be it emotional baggage, limiting beliefs, or unhealthy attachments – so that healing and closure can take place.

The Piscean energy of this partial eclipse will also enhancs creativity, compassion, and intuition, making it a powerful time for artistic inspiration, divination and spiritual practice. You may feel more drawn to solitude, meditation, or other reflective practices. Trust your inner guidance as the eclipse brings hidden truths to light, and be open to embracing change with compassion and flexibility.

Ultimately, this full moon eclipse is an opportunity to clear emotional clutter and reset your energy to flow more freely with the rhythm of the universe. However, heightened sensitivity can lead to confusion or feeling emotionally overwhelmed, so it’s important to ground yourself as you move into the week ahead.

Solar and lunar eclipses occur in pairs, usually about two weeks apart. The next solar eclipse will be the annual eclipse on October 2, 2024, and it will occur in the zodiac sign of Libra, beginning a new cycle, especially in matters of balance, relationships, and partnerships. After the emotional release of the Pisces eclipse, the solar eclipse next month will provide an opportunity to rebuild or recalibrate our relationships in a healthier, more balanced way.

Together, these eclipses offer a complete process: clearing, releasing, and letting go, followed by a new chapter of growth and balance. The next two weeks are a great opportunity to align our inner and outer worlds with greater compassion, clarity and harmony.

The mid-week Moon in Aries on Wednesday and Thursday will bring a burst of dynamic, assertive energy to fuel our motivation and encourage us to take bold action. We may feel more impulsive, driven and eager to pursue personal goals, but beware of impatience or a tendency to act too quickly. Balance will be key to avoid burnout or conflict.

When the Moon enters Taurus on Friday, the energy will shift to one of grounding, stability and comfort. The weekend will be an ideal time to take practical steps toward long-term goals, managing finances, or tending to self-care and personal well-being. It’s a time to seek security, both emotional and material, and to focus on building or strengthening what matters most.

The combined influence of the Sun entering Libra and Venus entering Scorpio on Sunday will create an intriguing balance of harmony and intensity in both relationships and personal desires. Together, these transits encourage a mix of the desire for harmony in relationships (Libra) and the desire for emotional intensity and depth (Scorpio). The key is to balance Libra’s ease and fairness with Scorpio’s need for deep connection and transformation. As we move into next week, we’re likely to experience heightened relationship dynamics where the desire for balance meets the need for deeper emotional truth.
