Wed 13th Sept 2023

Today is the first day of the 3rd Decan of Virgo ♍️. Each sign in Western Astrology takes up 30 degrees of a 360 degree circle.  And each of the 12 signs of the zodiac are divided into 3 Decans of 10 degrees each.

13th September through to 22nd September is the third Decan of Virgo ♍️, which is the Taurus ♉️ Decan, (or Venus Decan). This is the Decan that is a lover of luxury and loves having good times in life, but it is not materialistic, but like most Virgo traits it’s super practical. 

Today and tomorrow the moon is in Leo ♌️. A Leo moon is known for requiring an extra dollop of attention and adoration from others.  So watch out for your lack of self confidence causing difficulties. Remember that we are all important and unique beings and maybe use this Leo moon to help someone else with their confidence instead of worrying about yours. A timid Lion is not a good look! (Think wizard of Oz).

On Friday 15th September early doors, the New Moon in Virgo is Trine to Uranus so there could be some progressive changes, especially to your routines and health practices. 

This new moon is also conjunct the fixed star Denebola. This star can have a negative affect ,(since Roman times stars have been used to predict or understand daily life. The word disaster comes from the Latin word ‘dis astrum’ or ‘bad star’. ) But the positive nature of the New Moon reduces the negative impact of this fixed star, and in fact there is possible good fortune, wealth and career advancement linked to this new moon. And the influence of the New Moon lasts for 4 weeks until the eclipse on October 14th.

Mercury also goes direct on Friday 15th in the evening so this will bring an end to the 6 planet retrograde! Only 5 planets retrograde which may help our physical energy. I have personally found this 6 retrograde episode to be challenging when trying to accomplish any physical tasks. I have also spoken to lots of people suffering with exhaustion and irritability due to the stresses of the external world. The antidote has been to re- new, re- fresh, re- store, re-plenish, re-cover…… remember retrograde is linked to going over parts of your life that need a little attention. To do this in an introspective fashion is the ideal way to deal with retrograde periods, rather than to externalise and project or judge people outside of ourselves. 

On Saturday September 16th the Sun is Trine Uranus. So from Wed until Sunday this will enhance your confidence to express your more quirky side. This is an excellent time to meet extraordinary people. 

On Monday September 18th the moon enters Scorpio ♏️. Scorpio is known for never letting a grievance go. Use this time to practice realising that we all make mistakes sometimes! Maybe try and forgive misdemeanours (especially if you have been guilty of them yourself), even if you can’t forget! 

From  Sunday  17th until 21st the Sun is opposite Neptune. This is a time for potential confusion, insecurity and discouragement. Remember if it sounds too good to be true it probably is!!! 

From Mon September 18th until Friday 22nd September, Mars is quincunx to Jupiter. This represents lots of activity and energy, but difficulty controlling your emotions. Slow down! and try to avoid conflicts especially when doing things for the first time.
