moon energy
Astrology Forecast September 30 – October 6, 2024
The week begins today with a mix of intense and motivating energies as the Moon in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces. This aspect can make us feel a bit constrained or burdened by responsibility, creating an urge to retreat into overthinking or self-criticism.
Fortunately, the Moon’s sextile to Mars in Cancer will provide a balancing boost of emotional drive and determination. You’ll find the energy to tackle your tasks, especially those related to home, health and nurturing. It’s an excellent time to focus on practical matters and get things done, even if you feel some inner resistance or self-doubt.
The Moon’s sesquiquadrate with Pluto however may add an undercurrent of intensity that brings deep-seated emotions to the surface. You may feel a bit edgy or sensitive, but this energy can be channeled into transformative work. Use this energy influence to identify and release any emotional patterns that may be holding you back.
As the Moon enters Libra on Tuesday, the energy shifts from Virgo’s meticulous, detail-oriented focus to Libra’s desire for balance, harmony, and connection. After a somewhat intense and self-critical start to the week, this shift brings a refreshing breath of calm. You may feel a stronger pull toward social interactions, partnership and finding balance in your life. This influence is ideal for seeking compromise, engaging in creative pursuits, or simply enjoying a more peaceful atmosphere.
Wednesday’s annual solar eclipse during a Libra New Moon brings an opportunity to reset our relationships and seek harmony in areas of life that may feel out of sync. Libra’s energy emphasizes diplomacy, fairness, and the pursuit of inner peace. You may feel a strong urge to confront imbalances, whether in personal relationships, work, or your own sense of self.
Astrology Forecast September 23 – 29, 2024
The Gemini Moon brings a burst of mental energy and a desire for variety today, but the square to Saturn this morning can add a layer of tension, making it difficult to concentrate, feeling overwhelmed by tasks and even restricted in expressing our thoughts and opinions.
The Moon’s sesquiquadrate to Venus can also bring subtle tension to relationships today, leading to miscommunication or minor disagreements. Emotionally, we may feel disconnected or frustrated by the lack of harmony, so it is important to remain patient and grounded today.
Tonight the lunar energy will feel lighter, more adventurous and full of possibilities, offering a sense of relief from earlier tensions as the Gemini Moon’s conjunction with Jupiter increases curiosity, optimism and the desire for expansion. Conversations and ideas will flow more freely, making it a good time for brainstorming and socializing.
As the Moon moves into Cancer tomorrow, emotions may deepen and we may feel more sensitive and introspective. We may feel a stronger pull toward home, family, and comfort, and may seek out familiar routines or environments that provide a sense of security. This lunar transit may also stir up old memories and emotional attachments, prompting reflection or healing. Mid-week will therefore be a time to prioritize self-care, be gentle with your feelings, and focus on emotional connections.
Mercury entering Libra on Thursday will encourage us to focus on harmony, balance and diplomacy in our interactions with others. Social interactions will feel more refined, and there’s a heightened sensitivity to the words we use, aimed at keeping the peace and fostering cooperation. We are likely to seek out conversations that promote fairness and understanding, with an emphasis on considering different perspectives.
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.
Astrology Forecast September 9 – 15, 2024
As Mercury enters Virgo, you may find yourself craving order and clarity more than usual. This shift is likely to inspire a detail-oriented mindset, making it an excellent time to tackle tasks that require precision and careful analysis.
You may feel a strong urge to reorganize your environment, eliminate clutter and streamline your routine. Communication could become more pragmatic and concise as Mercury in Virgo emphasizes logic over emotion. Use this energy to express your ideas clearly and thoughtfully so that every word counts.
However, this transit can also bring a heightened sense of perfectionism. While it’s beneficial to strive for excellence, be careful not to become overly critical of yourself or others. There’s a danger of getting bogged down in the details, which can lead to stress or anxiety. Balance is key.
Use the energy of Virgo to increase productivity and improve your skills, but remember to make room for flexibility and compassion. It’s a great time to pay attention to detail, but don’t let the pursuit of perfection hinder your progress.
Today’s astrological aspects of the Moon in Scorpio opposing Uranus in Taurus, followed by a trine to Neptune in Pisces, and finally a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn will add layers of emotional intensity and depth to the influence of Mercury entering Virgo.
The opposition between the Moon and Uranus can create unexpected disruptions and emotional turbulence, potentially upsetting the desire for order and routine brought about by Mercury in Virgo. You may experience sudden mood swings or a sense of restlessness, making it difficult to stick to your plans. This aspect encourages you to embrace change and find new ways to approach your tasks, even if they seem disruptive at first.
Astrology Forecast September 2 – 8, 2024
Today’s Virgo New Moon brings a powerful blend of new beginnings and practical energy.
Virgo, an earth sign, is known for its attention to detail, organization, and focus on health and routine. When the new moon occurs in Virgo, it’s an ideal time to set intentions related to self-improvement, work habits, and wellness routines.
Today and tomorrow’s lunar energy is therfore perfect for cleaning up your life, both physically and mentally, and making plans to achieve your goals with precision and discipline.
You may feel an increased urge to get organized, refine your daily routines, and focus on improving areas of your life that need more structure and efficiency. Be careful not to be overly critical of yourself or others, however, as Virgo’s energy can sometimes tend toward perfectionism.
When Mars enters Cancer on Wednesday, its fiery, assertive energy meets Cancer’s nurturing and emotional realm, creating a complex dynamic.
Mars, the planet of action and drive, becomes more sensitive and protective in Cancer, often leading to an increased focus on home, family, and personal safety. This transit can make us more motivated to defend our loved ones and emotional boundaries, but it can also cause mood swings or passive-aggressive behavior, as Cancer’s influence can temper Mars’ direct approach.
Astrology Forecast August 26 – September 1, 2024
Today and tomorrow, the Gemini Moon emphasizes communication, social interactions, and the desire to explore new ideas and answers.
On Wednesday, Mercury finally goes direct again after three weeks in retrograde. This means the recent period of confusion, delay, and miscommunication that accompanies its retrograde phase begins to dissipate.
You may find that things begin to move more smoothly – plans that have been stalled can gain momentum, and misunderstandings are more easily resolved. It’s a time when clarity returns, making it easier to express ideas, make decisions, and find solutions to lingering problems.
However, some residual effects of the retrograde may linger for a few days, so it’s wise to remain patient and attentive as things gradually get back on track.
On Thursday, Venus moves into Libra, the sign it rules, shifting our focus to relationships, love and daydreaming about the future for the next three weeks.
From Friday through Sunday, the Leo Moon takes over, encouraging us to be generous and attentive to the needs of others.
Sunday brings a major shift as Uranus turns retrograde and Pluto enters Capricorn. These two powerful events mark the beginning of a period of deep transformation, both personally and collectively.
Astrology Forecast August 19 – 25, 2024
Today’s Aquarius Full Moon is known as a Supermoon. Supermoons occur when the full moon coincides with the moon being at the point in its orbit closest to Earth.
This full moon may inspire us to embrace new ideas and approaches, encouraging us to think outside the box and challenge the status quo. It’s a good time to focus on technological advances or unconventional solutions to problems.
We could feel a strong pull to work on community projects or to advocate for social justice. This full moon emphasizes the importance of collective well-being and may inspire you to contribute to causes that benefit the greater good.
Because it’s a supermoon, the emotional impact will be more intense. You may experience heightened feelings or revelations about your personal goals, relationships, or your role in the larger community. This can lead to significant breakthroughs or changes in personal perspective. You may feel a stronger desire to express your true self and make changes that are more in line with your true desires and values.
The Moon’s conjunction with Lilith amplifies this influence, prompting a deeper exploration of your emotional truths and personal freedoms. The semi-sextile aspects between Venus and Lilith, and between the Moon and Venus, also predict opportunities to align your emotional experiences with your values and desires. There may be a focus on reconciling your deeper emotional needs with your social or relational expectations, allowing for a more balanced approach to love and beauty.
