We are past the Eclispes, but still in Eclipse Season until the New Moon on 9/10.

​

Eclipses signify times of fated/destined changes or events in our lives and the world around us! They are like supercharged New/Full Moons, said to be 10 times more powerful than a normal lunation. They are times when our most steady lights, the Sun and Moon, go dark. Eclipses were seen as negative omens by ancient people and astrologers. It is advised to avoid charging your crystals/tools under the light of the Eclispes. It is also advised to avoid intention setting and manifestation rituals during Eclispes. We do not want to charge sacred items or do intention setting/manifestations because Eclispes open portals of energy, and we NEVER know what's coming through portals. We want to be vigilant of whatever comes in, however. Eclispes are times to pray, fast, and lie low while the energy is whirling around us. Eclispes are like energetic Cat 5 hurricanes; it's not advised to venture out into these storms to explore. Whatever we pull in if we are manifesting/charging will have the energy of Eclispes imprinted. Eclispes are chaotic times; why invite more chaos than necessary?!

Powerful beginnings and endings often take place around Eclipses. Trust that whatever is coming in or leaving our lives is fated. Destiny is in the driver's seat in our lives, and Eclipses are known to course-correct us if we've gotten on the wrong path or are stuck. It may not feel like it, but whatever is happening IS for our Highest Good. We may need some time and space from the events to see the Higher Purpose in the Eclipse events. 

We are likely to hear more about pregnancies, births, engagements, wedding announcements, as well as deaths, relationships ending, or job losses during this time. This first Eclipse in Leo is a Solar Eclipse (always a New Moon); it's a South Node Eclipse, so significant, powerful endings, wrapped in new beginnings, are coming in. Something is being taken away and replaced with something else. This is a spiritual course correction, because Jupiter is also in Leo. ​​​​​​​​

Hungry Ghost Month!

If you're out partying, please be careful and thoughtful of your state. Avoid excess alcohol and drugs. Protect your energy. The energy/psychic vampires are out in droves! In Chinese Astrology, we are in the Hungry Ghost month. It started yesterday and lasts until 9/10. This is a time when the gates of the underworld open and spirits are allowed to roam freely. Yikes! It is advised to avoid going out late at night; if possible, avoid alcohol/drugs; wear protective amulets; avoid covering your head; avoid swimming at sunset. In China, plates of food are set out at crossroads; incense is burned so that the souls may "eat" and be satisfied. It is a time for prayer, protection, and regular energy clearing and cleansing.

​

The week is off to an intense start!

Monday and Tuesday are the most challenging days of the week! 

​

Venus enters her Rx Shadow late Monday morning, then we have the powerful Jupiter-Saturn trine in the evening! This brings us back to 12/21/20, when we had the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0* of Aquarius! Think back to this time: what seeds were planted? We then had the Jupiter-Saturn square on 6/15/25. This marked a challenge or pointed out where we need to take action. Now we have the Jupiter -Saturn trine! This is incredibly supportive, uplifting, inspirational energy. We need to use it to see benefits. Trines make things feel smooth, so they often go unnoticed and underutilized! 

​

On Tuesday, we have an extremely tense and uncomfortable Mars-Saturn square! Ouch! This aspect addresses the consequences for our actions! It's an exhausting energy; we could feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Stress and strain are hallmarks of this aspect. This is an accident-prone aspect, so please be careful! It's a broken bone aspect, so no unnecessary risks! Avoid overdoing it in the gym; muscle sprains/strains are also likely. Saturn is dealing out some serious karma now, so we should clean up our act before we get a Saturnian smack! Mars does get some Mutual Reception from Saturn, as Mars rules Aries, where Saturn is transiting! Mars is currently in its sign of Fall, so he's thrilled to get any support! This is a time of harsh consequences. It's not the time to ask for a raise or favors. This aspect is like driving with the brakes on!

​

Shortly after the Mars-Saturn square on Tuesday, Mercury inconjuncts Saturn, delivering some hard news to us! This is a blindsiding aspect; brace yourself for news/information coming your way! This is also an accident-prone energy, so caution! 

Mercury then sextiles Mars, bringing him some much-needed support after his brutal battle with Saturn! Mercury and Mars are trouble-making, mischievous friends. Avoid taunting your boss/authority figures! This aspect can bring in solutions, helpful friends, and some timely support. 

​

The Sun inconjuncts Saturn on Saturday evening. This is a reality check aspect. The Sun is doing inventory and notices that something is off. We may need to reestablish some rules and boundaries! Unexpected reality checks, harsh realities, and karmic slaps are likely. Take good care of your health; take anything coming up seriously! It's an ideal self-check time! 

​

Venus enters her Retrograde Shadow late this morning.

We are officially in the pre-Venus Rx Shadow, which means that themes from the upcoming Venus Rx are coming up. Pay attention to what happens, especially around love, relationships, beauty, pleasures, fairness, and legal situations! Venus rules these areas, and as she slows down and retrogrades, these themes are highlighted. This is NOT the time for plastic surgeries, shopping sprees, radical changes to your style/appearance. We are unlikely to be happy with the results! 

This is also a time when relationship challenges spike! If dating someone new, take things very slowly! If you meet someone new, or become interested/attracted to someone during the Shadow/Retrograde, chances are that by the time Venus Stations Direct, you'll be over it, in a BIG WAY! Initially, it could feel like fiery chemistry and passion, even like a fated connection, but remember, Venus isn't seeing things or thinking clearly! Venus begins her Rx in Scorpio, then retrogrades back into Libra. Think back to the Fall of 2018; this was the last Venus Rx in Scorpio! Similar themes could come up! Intense passions that have a destructive outcome are highly likely! 

For now, Venus is still in her home sign in Libra, so although she's in her Rx Shadow, she's still capable of good things. Once she enters Scorpio, her sign of Fall, the vibe shifts significantly! Beware of self-undoing during this Venus Rx cycle! 

​

​Today:​​​​

 

It's a significant day! 

The week is off to a big start!

​

Venus enters her Retrograde Shadow late this morning! This is HUGE! So, Venus enters her Rx Shadow now in Libra, enters Scorpio on 9/10, Stations Rx on 10/3, Retrogrades back to Libra on 10/25, Stations Direct on 11/13, and finally clears her Rx Shadow on 12/15! The Goddess of Love and Beauty is slowing down, entering her Retrograde Shadow period, also inviting us to slow down and spend more time in contemplation and reflection. This is NOT a supportive time for Venusian activities. It's great for cleaning out the closet and getting rid of old makeup or skincare products; donate unused items. 

​

We also have one of the BIG aspects of the year this evening! We have a Jupiter-Saturn trine! This aspect brings the tension of expansion/contraction but with the flow of support. Think back to 12/21/20; this was when these planets met at 0* of Aquarius. It served as a seeding point, as these planets meet every 20 years! 

​

We are building up to the tense Mars-Saturn square early tomorrow morning, so we are majorly feeling this energy building today and especially this evening/tonight! This aspect feels like driving with the brakes on! There's tension, a feeling of restriction mixed with the need to push forward. This is NOT the day to test authority figures! There is, however, a theme of the aggressor overpowering the established system, due to Saturn being weakened in its sign of Fall, in Aries. Mars is also in his sign of Fall in Cancer, but Mars rules Aries, so Saturn is answering to Mars! So Mars has some secret power here! This aspect can feel like a piling on of misfortune at first glance, because both Malefics are in a hard aspect, both in their sign of Fall! Ancient Astrologers believed that when there's too much bad, it actually turns into something good! Beneficial misfortunes are a hallmark of this energy. This is a time when someone being punished by the law gets off with a technicality, leaving the authority figures with "egg on their faces." These planets in square usually signify karmic backlashes! It also signifies stress, strain, injuries, accidents, head injuries, and broken bones. This can also trigger domestic violence events. Please be careful and cautious. Make sure that you feel safe! 

Pray for peace and protection. 

This aspect, on the positive side, supports hard work, dedication to completing tasks, hard-won victories, and rebellion against oppression. It's an ideal time to reestablish boundaries and challenge ourselves! We don't grow when things are easy; we grow when they're hard! 

​

The Moon continues through Aries today, going void of course late this afternoon, and remaining void for the rest of the night! Have a quiet evening and get to bed early. The Aries Moon goes void with an opposition to Venus, newly in her Rx Shadow, so this can spike relationship drama! YIKES! Pick your battles; address any issues that come up when the Moon enters Taurus tomorrow morning! The Aries Moon can have flashes of anger that erupt; combined with a void Moon and a building Mars-Saturn square, I recommend unplugging from the situation, taking some space, and addressing it when calmer heads prevail! Those that engage in the drama will find it in spades!

​

The Moon is in Aries; the Moon in Aries is active, direct, spontaneous, initiating, self-assertive, energetic, naive, "me first," ardent, and a leader.

The Moon in Aries is answering to Saturn in Aries.

​

Venus in Libra enters her Retrograde Shadow at 11:50 am; here we go! The Venus Rx period has begun! Venus is slowing down, preparing to Station Rx on 10/3. For now, she's still receiving lots of support because she's in her home sign, Libra. Pay attention to what is coming up now around love, relationships, partnerships, beauty trends, and styles. She is revealing to us some of what we will encounter later in Venus's Rx cycle when Venus wraps up her Rx in this part of our charts. The tone of the Rx Shadow will shift dramatically once Venus enters Scorpio, her sign of Fall on 9/10. Now Venus will be answering to Mars! Venus in Scorpio is passionate, intense, and can be obsessive, yikes! She's sexy and alluring, but it might turn into a Fatal Attraction-type situation! Women are recommended to take extra measures to protect themselves and beware of the people they date, the company they keep, or suspicious strangers! This is NOT the time to go on trust! For now, just pay attention to what's coming up for you in matters around beauty and love. 

​

Moon in Aries opposes Venus in Libra, in Shadow at 3:47 pm; the Moon and Venus are having a tense conversation or argument. Tensions around self versus partnerships are being highlighted. Where are we out of balance? Venus is in her Shadow now, so pay attention to what is coming up. We will be working with this energy for a while!

​

The Moon goes void with this aspect and remains void for the rest of the night! Void Moons are great for resting, relaxing, and unplugging from the outer world. Have a quiet, peaceful night. Try to get to bed early. 

Avoid arguments, fights, and confrontations during void Moons! Things tend to escalate quickly and turn ugly fast! 

​

Jupiter in Leo trines Saturn Rx in Aries at 6:17 pm; this is a magnificent Fire trine! Jupiter and Saturn are supporting each other, flowing in harmony, passion, and inspiration! This is one of the BIG aspects of the year. Jupiter expands whatever it touches, and Saturn restricts, but it can also offer a mold for Jupiter to grow into! Creative projects thrive under this energy! Move with passion! How can we turn our goals into reality? Saturn is offering the support we need for timely growth and development! We had the seeding point of this cycle begin on 12/21/20 at 0* of Aquarius, where they met/conjunct; then we had the square on 6/15/25 at 1*18' of Aries-Saturn and Cancer-Jupiter; close to where we had the Saturn-Neptune conjunction on 2/16/26; now we have the trine at 13* 41' Jupiter in Leo and Saturn in Aries! This wakes up the Aquarius seeding point, the Aries-Cancer challenge point, and now the Aries-Leo part of our charts with growth and encouragement! 

​

Happy September!

​

The Moon enters Taurus at 4:01 a.m. on 9/1; the Moon in Taurus is stable, persistent, sensual, materialistic, possessive, security-oriented, comfort-loving, patient, determined, stubborn, and practical. 

The Moon in Taurus is answering to Venus in Libra in her Rx Shadow.

The Moon is exalted in Taurus; she LOVES being here!

​

Moon in Taurus conjuncts Chiron Rx in Taurus at 4:55 a.m. on 9/1; we know we have some healing work to do on our physical bodies. Be gentle with yourself this morning. This conjunction can make us feel sensitive, emotional, or wanting to hide under the covers. It's a tough day, so that's understandable. 

​

Mars in Cancer squares Saturn Rx in Aries at 5:59 a.m. on 9/1; battles are raging this morning. Domestic drama, disturbances, fights, or accidents around the home are likely now. Please be careful. Be gentle with yourself and others. These are the Malefic planets, both in their sign of Fall, in a square, which is a Martian aspect, on Mars's Day! It's like a crap sandwich! The only saving grace is that Mars has Mutual Reception with Saturn in Aries, as Mars rules Aries, so the young man, warrior, rebel has more power than the old fallen authority figure. It's a time when elderly males, bosses, leaders, Kings could pass away or step down from positions of power, giving way to the younger, strong masculine to rise to prominence. It's an underdog aspect. 

This aspect can feel frustrating, restricting, and straining. It feels like we can get ahead or be held back. It's like driving with the brakes on or like hitting a wall. What is required is calm, steady focus and dedication to the task at hand. It's understanding that there's a painful process of growth to get our goals met. This is a "No" aspect, so it's not the day to ask for favors or raises! This aspect delivers karma, and we are still in Eclipse Season!
