On Saturday, we see a good time for Love… whoo hooo! The Moon (Emotions) shows harmony with Venus (Love), perhaps as a cycle back to the positive from some stress earlier in the week. It’s always a cycle. We also see the Moon squaring off with the Sun, which can often mean that you are feeling like doing one thing, while your mind argues against it. What to do when logic and emotions collide? Well, there is such a thing as emotional intelligence, and ultimately the deciding factor will come from your own internal compass… pointing toward the right thing to do. Listen to your heart.

“If there is something bothering you, take some time to work through the emotional issues before talking about it… you do need to feel, deal, and heal.”

Sunday finds the Moon playing nice with Mercury, Uranus and Saturn, but opposing Mars. This may not be a day to start new projects, but you can have some relaxing conversations and talks with loved ones and friends — a good coffee and brunch sort of day. “Small talk” about practical matters will pay off. There will be a better time ahead to launch new plans. Just enjoy the day.

On Monday, the Moon forms a trine with the Sun (Personality), even as Mercury (Communication) shows stress on the emotional side. Don’t push it. If there is something bothering you, take some time to work through the emotional issues before talking about it. But you do need to feel, deal, and heal. Just remember that the dealing is best done after you work through the best approach to what you are feeling. Seek the counsel of someone you trust, first.

Tuesday finds the Moon (Emotion) in some creative tension with four planets, while working in conjunction with the energy of Jupiter (growth). This tells us that while you feel that you are making progress towards prosperity — there are still some “hoops” for you to jump through. Hey, noone ever promised you it would be easy. But you can do it. Make sure your heart is in the right place, then follow its lead.

On the equinox, the power of an eternally fighting bull (personifying the Earth) and that of a lion (personifying the Sun) are equal (from Persian Relief). This balanced transition time represents an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of our lives.

On Saturday, we see some stress in the areas of growth, health, and spirituality. This has been a theme during the week, so examine what you are feeling, and make some prudent decisions. This may take a prayer or two for discernment. The Moon also is squaring off with Mars, and so untangling the emotional blocks can help you break through the road blocks. Follow what is in your heart.

“Tuesday brings in the Autumn Equinox… It is a transition time of balance — an opportunity to look at what brings meaning into our endeavors and lives.”

Sunday is an interesting and opportune day as the Moon dances in trine with Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune — a fortuitous group of planets focused on Growth, Health, and Spirituality. It’s time for some Fall exercise, enrollment in community courses to help you develop yourself, and some Spiritual fun that will help you heal and move forward in your life. We also find Venus (Love) embracing Pluto (Transfomation). Transformation through Love — isn’t that what Love is all about? Listen to your heart today, and you will know what to do.

As Monday rolls in we see the Moon working well with Pluto and Venus to carry Love and Transformation into the work week. Wait a minute — what role does Love have in the work place? Well, since Love is a core emotion it is active even in your career. Do you love what you do? Do you enjoy the company of those around you? If the answer is yes, then you’re in a good place. If the answer is no, then the only question is, what are you going to do about it?

Tuesday brings in the Autumn Equinox — an opportunity to look at what brings meaning into our endeavors and lives. On a day of the equinox, the center of the Sun spends a roughly equal amount of time above and below the horizon at every location on the Earth, night and day being of roughly the same length. It is a transition time of balance. The Moon today finds favor with Mars, Uranus, Mercury, and Saturn, so you will find openings to both learn and discuss new ideas, within a certain balance. At work, your team may be open to new approaches as long as they are within the project budget. In your relationships it is a good time to talk about the future. Find the meaning, and enjoy the Equinox.

This artist’s conception shows a binary-star, or two-star, system, called HD 113766, where astronomers suspect a rocky Earth-like planet is forming around one of the stars. At approximately 10 to 16 million years old, astronomers suspect this star is at just the right age for forming rocky planets. The system is located approximately 424 light-years away from Earth.

On Saturday we find busy energies in the heavens as the Moon (emotions) squares off with three planets, works in trine with two (Chiron and Neptune), opposes Pluto (Transformation). The clues here are Spiritual Health as you meditate on what may be blocking needed renewal. Look specifically at communication — is there something you’ve been putting off discussing with a friend or colleague? The sooner you get it cleared — the sooner you can move on. That’s the Spirit.

“It can be tough, but you need to look at emotions in this area. Remember, feel, deal, heal. Talk about it.”

Sunday finds the Moon (emotions) showing stress with Venus (Love), Chiron (Health), and Neptune (Spirituality). When your Spiritual side is not in balance in your relationships, it’s not healthy. Do you both have common Spiritual goals? That’s important. Meanwhile, the Moon is also working in conjunction with Mars, so you can find the energy to get some new projects started today.

Monday shows more conflict between Love and Health. It can be tough, but you need to look at emotions in this area. Remember, feel, deal, heal. Talk about it. The Moon is happy today, with The Sun (Personality), Saturn (Practicality), Uranus (New Ideas), and Mercury (Communication). This alignment can play out well in your career as you bring forward plans of a practical nature and are seen in a favorable light at work.

Tuesday is looking a bit “edgy”, celestially speaking, with the Moon showing some stress with The sun, Uranus, Saturn, Pluto and Mercury. In Life, and relationships, there are always emotions to deal with. This creates energy, which though at times feels unsettling, can be used as the inspiration to move forward. Pray for discernment, and the wisdom to understand your mate and colleagues. Then use the energy to do the right things.

Saturday finds the Moon squaring off with Pluto, but working in conjunction with Uranus. Now you might have some new ideas for the fall season of life, but you have a feeling that you just can’t get there yet. That’s ok. New ideas take time to unfold and grow. Just plant the seeds — you can harvest later. Yesterday’s Full Moon will give you some much needed energy for recreation. Enjoy your time off this weekend.

“Monday: Moon is also in harmony with Jupiter (growth), Chiron (health), and Neptune (Spirituality) — a day of great blessings when strength of Spirit also brings you emotional healing.”

Sunday shows some stress points with Chiron — the Healer — so you’ll have an opportunity to examine your feelings. It’s possible you feel that something is holding you back. What is it, and precisely how does it bind you? It may also be that to someone close to you… it feels like you are forcing an issue. Maybe you don’t have to “push it”, but instead can actually get farther by listening and remaining positive. Pray for discernment in these matters.

On Monday, most in the US are on vacation before the busy Fall season starts. It’s a good day love relationships as the Moon (emotions) dances in trine with Venus — the planet of love. Use the time off to take your mate out for brunch and a walk in the park. The Moon is also in harmony today with Jupiter (growth), Chiron (health), and Neptune (Spirituality) — a day of great blessings when strength of Spirit also brings you emotional healing.

Tuesday brings an opportunity to take the lead on initiatives which will bring needed change in your projects at work, and relationships at home. Coming off the energy you gained from the Full Moon vacation weekend, you can use it to transform the playing field. Remember, change is always a factor, and you can wait and be tugged along by it, or embrace it and lead the charge. It’s like a wave — ride it, or wait let it break over you. Take some time to write down five ideas on how you can be instrumental with positive changes in your career and in your love life.
