Life gets a little more beautiful as Venus moves into her home sign of Libra. We can expect the coming weeks to bring more sensuality, peace, and diplomacy with the planet of love, money, and beauty in the sign of balance and harmony. But our emotional experience is deep and powerful today with the waxing moon in Scorpio. Reflection is the name of the game as the moon makes connections with all of the retrograde planets.

The Scorpio moon stays quiet for most of the day, making only one connection. As the moon meets up with the South Node, it can be easy to fall back into past patterns or old habits. But the waxing crescent moon opposes the North Node at the same time, making it easy to see the path ahead and the direction we’re meant to go. Even if our purpose seems far away, our tendencies to fall into the past can show us how important it is to embrace our future.

Deeper motivations can be realized this Tuesday. Mercury and Pluto harmonize in a 120º angle, allowing for profound insights and powerful ideas to come through. You might even find yourself in deep conversations. By Tuesday night, Mars and Saturn come into a fortunate connection, giving us the courage and determination to make long-lasting commitments. Projects started now can stand the test of time, as long as we are willing to pace ourselves.

Expression comes easily today as Mercury and Venus meet in Virgo. Even in the critical sign of Virgo, our thoughts and words are infused with love and positive intentions. Meanwhile, the sun opposes Jupiter, amplifying our ability to see the bright side of life. If we lean into these positive transits, expansion is certainly possible. The new moon in Libra opposes Chiron on Monday afternoon- triggers are possible, but so is healing if we observe our wounds with love.

The New Moon in Libra invites us to fall in love with our life. Ask how you can create more beauty and balance in your life in this next chapter. We’re tapped into the depths of our love as Venus harmonizes with Pluto in the background. But watch out for compulsive attraction. Following pleasurable impulses can lead down a slippery slope- especially as the new moon opposes Jupiter. Dreaming big is favored, but going overboard in the moment is also possible.

When Venus opposes Neptune this Saturday, romance is heightened. But it’s easy to get lost in a fantasy as the boundaries in our closest relationships are blurred. We might over idealize what partnerships should look like rather than appreciating reality. The waning moon in Virgo marks the last day in this cycle, but she’s not going out without a fight!

Mercury Retrograde moves back into the most meticulous sign of the zodiac, making us especially critical. Being matter-of-fact could come across as harsh the next few weeks, even if we’re just trying to get our point across clearly. We might also revisit conversations we had or plans we made between August 3 + August 25. Slow down and be especially mindful with how you’re communicating.

Welcome to Libra Season and Happy Fall, y’all! We start this new season with a bang as Mercury passes through the heart of the sun. But this phenomenon- known as Mercury Cazimi- is happening on the World Point. With this conjunction at 0º Libra, global negotiations are possible and new perspectives can be gained. We’ll be feeling the shifting of the seasons as the waning Leo moon forms a T-Square to Saturn and Uranus. Allowing ourself to find some wiggle room to play in the midst of fear and doubt can lead to breakthroughs.

We have an opportunity for inner child healing this Wednesday. The Leo moon stays quiet for most of the day until it makes a harmonious connection to Chiron- the wounded healer. Giving ourselves permission to be silly and play can bring powerful realizations. This evening could even be a turning point in the way we express ourselves as the moon squares the North and South Nodes. Surrender to what’s most alive inside your heart today.

This Tuesday feels like an emotional climb. We start the morning under an opposition between the Cancer moon and Pluto. Power struggles are possible- especially if our emotions are provoked. But a supportive connection between the moon and sun helps us to show up with humility and confidence. The waning moon enters Leo this afternoon, lightening the mood.

We’re drawn to eccentric people and quirky personality traits today as lover Venus harmonizes with Uranus. But we’re also very attuned to our own power as Venus makes a supportive connection to Lilith at the same time. We have strong desires and we can easily attract who and what we want today. The waning Cancer moon allows for emotional surrender- especially if we can find comfort in our own skin.

There’s an energy of nostalgia today as Mercury Retrograde and Jupiter Retrograde lock into an opposition. We can see the bigger picture of all that we’ve manifested so far- but it’s easy to ignore the details now. Grand ideas from the past could be resurrected. Our sense of faith comes from our ability to see how plans have already unfolded in our favor. We can express our power naturally as the Virgo sun and Pluto harmonize tonight, marking a moment of transformation and rebirth.
