With less than a week away from the Fall Equinox, the cosmos continue to reflect the theme of release. The mutable energy is a heavy influence of what we can expect for the week ahead, as the third quarter moon takes place in Gemini on 09/17 at 5:52PM est, 2:52PM ptd. This moon comes with resistance, and potentially heightened tension, as the moon squares off to Venus, Jupiter and Neptune. The moon that is Mercury ruled, gives us time to reflect on what this retrograde has shown us. This retrograde has brought some challenges, as one of the main lessons being communicating our needs clearly. If this lesson has yet to be delivered, we may find ourselves this weekend releasing our exhaustion on those close to us. The moon will conjunct Mars in Gemini, just before this moon takes place. This connection may bring an abundance of thoughts and creative ideas.
As Neptune, Venus and Jupiter connect with this moon, harsh wake-up calls could be delivered. There may be some unrealistic plans we have, and have attempted to plant seeds in this area. However no matter how much we have resurrected the situation, it has yet to remain stable. While this can be harsh for the ego to digest, there is a sense of relief that may be felt. What is decaying begins the process of us returning to ourselves. Inspiration can strike us, and is something we can follow with caution, while making space for the clarity and criticism that is given.
This is an ideal weekend for us to prepare our spaces and intentions for the Fall Equinox!
Aries
While it’s good to be confident in everything we do, we have to be mindful of when we are being led by our ego or shadow. Your hard work and focused intention on receiving have been recognized, however you may be reminded this week on the benefits of surrendering. Whatever redirection is taking place is not a sign of failure but of transformation. Trust the process and know that your victory is in close proximity!
Taurus
This is an ideal time to rest and relax, while your mind unloads a wealth of information. You may not get much sleep this week, which could explain why you’re waking up more tired than when you went to sleep! Between this, the activated dreams and messages coming in, it can be a lot. Take this as a sign to slow down and journal what has been going on. This can help you organize your thoughts and strengthen your confidence in the change that is brewing!
Gemini
With this moon taking place in your sign, you can expect to receive heightened messages through your dreams and synchronicities. This moon can also bring heightened impatience and desire to release everything on your mind. This can serve you well in the right situations, related to your personal relationships and boundaries with others. However it is best to reflect on these thoughts before sharing them; in a heated moment we may say something we don’t mean. This doesn’t mean the delivery hurts any less. Focus on what is ahead of you and how far you’ve come! There is much to celebrate.
Cancer
Sometimes we give situations and people the benefit of the doubt, and it doesn’t work in our favour. This week may be filled with deep reflection on what has unfolded over the past few months, and how this has supported your growth. Closure and final endings on some cycles can take place at this time. Embrace this cleanse and allow yourself to be birthed anew! What blooms in the weeks to come, ensures longevity and stability.
Leo
You could be receiving a streak of luck this week, and should take full advantage! This may seem tricky to you, however your eyes are extremely sharp and know exactly what to look out for. Trust your intuition, even in the thickest smoke and luminescent mirrors. One thing about honey, is that it attracts flies and bees all the same. Some tests of the ego could show up at this time, as you’ll have to recognize sugar from salt. Be mindful of when situations are taking advantage of your optimism. Despite the glamour, the truth is certain to be delivered to you at this time. If you’re able to recognize it, you’ll be able to receive the abundance you’ve been preparing for.
Virgo
Although the full moon has passed, there is still much clarity and messages to digest. This theme continues into this week, however the messages are focused on how you can pour more love into yourself. Reviewing your boundaries and enforcing them is extremely important now, as you could be more vulnerable. There’s no need to put a wall up, but use your discernment and keep your fertile plans to yourself!
Libra
This moon takes place in your element (air), while Mercury sits in your sign. You may receive an abundance of inspiration this week, on new or pending plans. As your season slowly approaches, you could be reflecting heavily on your future and what you’ve been doing to prepare for it. While we can’t control how our destiny unfolds, that doesn’t mean we can’t plan for it! Allow the inspiration you receive this week to motivate you in taking the next steps in your plans. Remember, there is no rush to complete these intentions, they will show up when the timing is right. As you dive into this creative bubble, you may come to the conclusion that some pending plans need to be revised, as the actions to execute them do not align with your intention. Reflect on why you started this in the first place, and you’ll return back to your authentic self.
Scorpio
You may start to see your full moon intentions manifest this week, as the cosmos reflect positive change and a boost of confidence coming your way! You’re finally starting to see your hard work pay off (which was always there by the way), and are loosening your grip on these intentions. By doing so, you allow the universe to create a path for you to receive these blessings! Stay focused on how far you’ve come, and how much you’ve accomplished up to this point. The only time you should be looking back is to see your reflection in the mirror. If you have yet to see growth in your intentions, you may find yourself this week combing through all the details. Are you putting too much weight on yourself, including unrealistic expectations?
Sagittarius
This week may bring a tidal wave of emotional outbursts, as your ruling planet creates some intense aspects to other celestial bodies. If you’ve been holding in certain feelings to avoid hurting others, this is the time to let your voice be heard. If you continue to hold onto these heavy thoughts and feelings, you may have an outburst that shoots out with heat. You’re always ensuring those you love are having a good time, but when was the last time you checked in with yourself? It’s time to focus on you, by reviewing your boundaries with your loved ones and cutting back on some of the commitments you’ve made. Allow yourself to rest up this week, so that you can enjoy the most of the upcoming season!
Capricorn
You tend to plan your steps way before they take place, which has always served you well. However the issue with this, is that whenever you want to make a change, you convince yourself that it’s not necessary. Future plans could be slowing down at this time, creating anxious thoughts and self doubt. There is no need to sink yourself deeper into this abyss, as this slowness is for a reason! If you’re being re-directed at this time, trust that this too is part of the Divine’s plan. It’s safe to walk through these new doors that are opening up for you! If you trust yourself enough, and know you will always find a solution, what do you have to lose? Take a chance on your intuition, trust yourself!
Aquarius
New opportunities of abundance can take place this week, as both of your ruling planets are giving you some breathing space for new beginnings. These new opportunities appear to be long term and extremely stable, so there’s no need to second guess yourself. However, it’s always important to do your homework and check in with your guides. If something feels off, there’s a chance that it could be. Give yourself time to review all of the details of these new offerings, and don’t be afraid to ask questions! Asking questions is not a sign of ignorance, despite what you may think. It shows you’re paying attention! Once you receive your confirmation to move ahead, take the leap!
Pisces
This week can feel extremely all over the place for you, as both of your ruling planets are in tough aspects. The projection and audacity is high, while your patience could be low. Just because you’re able to tolerate a lot of nonsense, doesn’t mean you should! Your personal space and boundaries should be respected no matter what. Give yourself this week to get grounded and recharge as much as possible. If you are approaching new opportunities or have items pending, give yourself some grace and patience! Things could take a strange turn that doesn’t make sense right now, but in the weeks to come you’ll understand why. If anyone is able to move through the smoke and fog, it’s you. Remember to lean on your intuition and anchor yourself in your faith.
