This week, the Sun moves deeper into Virgo while the Moon completes its waning cycle and arrives at a New Moon in Virgo on September 10th. Mercury and Venus are shifting signs—Mercury crossing from Virgo into Libra on September 11th, Venus moving from Libra into Scorpio that same day. The effect is a week of endings and fresh starts layered on top of each other. You will feel the difference between what needs to be released and what is ready to begin. The air crackles with transition.
Mars continues its slow burn through Cancer, still applying pressure to home, family, and the foundations of your life. Jupiter holds its steady presence in Leo, asking you to think about what brings you joy and creative expression. Saturn in Aries keeps the pressure on beginnings and assertion—nothing gets to start without some friction. Pluto deep in Aquarius continues its slow reconstruction of how we think about power, systems, and the future. This week you are being asked to honor what is ending while you prepare ground for what comes next.

Day by Day
Sunday, September 6: The Moon sits in the last quarter of Cancer, moving toward the New Moon. Mercury and the Sun both in Virgo create a moment of clarity about details you may have overlooked. Mars in Cancer keeps the emotional undertone tender and protective. Use this day to observe what needs finishing before you step into the new cycle.
Monday, September 7: The Moon still wanes through Cancer as Mercury pushes forward through Virgo. There is a sense of sorting, organizing, making sense of accumulated information. The day asks you to take inventory without rushing judgment. Pay attention to what feels unresolved.
Tuesday, September 8: The Moon enters Leo in the waning crescent phase, shifting the tone from reflective to proud, from private to performative. Jupiter in Leo amplifies this movement toward self-expression and creative risk. Notice what wants to be seen and acknowledged by you.
Wednesday, September 9: The Moon deepens in Leo while Mercury approaches the last degrees of Virgo. Venus moves into the final degree of Libra—relationships and values are about to shift into something more intense and transformative. This is a day of gathering courage.
Thursday, September 10: The New Moon arrives in Virgo at 2° 34'. This is a reset in how you approach discernment, service, and practical living. The Sun and Moon align here, creating a powerful point of intention-setting. Mercury and Venus have not yet crossed their thresholds, so you still have time to complete the old cycle before the new one begins.
Friday, September 11: Mercury crosses into Libra and Venus crosses into Scorpio on the same day. The cognitive and relational landscape shifts significantly. You move from sorting and analyzing into weighing and considering. You move from social pleasure into emotional depth. Both changes happen at once, creating a sense of being pulled in new directions.
Saturday, September 12: The Moon enters Libra, joining Venus in her new sign. The New Moon phase continues, still holding the energy of fresh starts and new seeds. The week ends with you oriented toward what comes next, even as the details are still forming. Rest is allowed here.

creativity and pleasure

home and heart
Uranus in your sign continues its slow work of innovation and disruption in how you see yourself.
