Welcome to the Astrology of September 6th-12th
Written by Mars♂
Welcome to September and Virgo season, friends! Virgo energy is all about healing but with a productive twist. If you’ve been looking to get on top of your physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual health then this is the time to go for it.
Weekly Moon Phases
September 6th- 8th: This week we have the New Moon in Virgo, landing at 14 degrees of the zodiac’s most put-together sign and shifting into indecisive-but-fair Libra on Thursday 9th September.
September 9th-11th: The moon is our inner world and emotions so expect to feel motivated to manifest during the New Moon with a slight dip in motivation as it transitions into airy Libra. We can keep our foot on the gas by embracing the Waxing Crescent energy which is full of hope and positivity as we begin to build towards the Full Moon in Pisces on September 20th, 2021.
Planetary Zodiacs
Sun in Virgo: The Sun is in Virgo this week, making us masters of our to-do lists and hyper-aware of every detail. We are less concerned with ideals and emotions and more focused on getting it done and getting it ‘right’ – be mindful of not giving yourself too much of a hard time and trying too hard to be ‘perfect’.
Moon in Virgo-Libra: will start in Virgo on the 6th, giving us an extra boost in this energy, before moving into Libra where we may find we’re weighing up our options again.
Mercury in Libra: Mercury, the planet of intellect and communication, will be in Libra until November. This tends to be a great place for the planet of communication as we are less biased and more able to understand various perspectives. The only downside is appeasing others and being less inclined to stand in our power and speak our own truth.
Venus in Libra, then Scorpio: Venus, the planet of love and values, will be in Libra until Friday 10th before they move into beautiful but deadly Scorpio. We may find we’re quite accommodating in our relationships at the beginning of the week and happy to let others take the lead. As of Friday, we may find that changes, and relations – romantic and otherwise – become a little more intense. Venus in Scorpio is deep, dedicated love but be wary of becoming obsessive.
Mars in Virgo: Mars is in Virgo all week and Mars tends to be somewhat calmer in this earth sign despite its fiery nature. We can expect the drive and ambition of Mars to do well in Virgo, a sign which highly values hard work and high standards. This is a great time to be working on a specific project or idea as we are diligent and committed to doing our very best.
Key Aspects of the Week
For those who don't know: aspects are angles that determine how each planet's energies react with another planet's. They can affect an overall chart's meaning by giving more insight into how that planet behaves under its current zodiac sign.
Venus trine Jupiter:
Venus trine Jupiter means we can expect an expansion of optimism, feeling good, and all the good things in life. When Jupiter works in harmony with another planet it can bring great blessings and abundance. This is a fantastic time to express gratitude and love whether that be for yourself, a friend, a partner, a colleague, a family member, or nature.
Mars trine Pluto:
Our warrior planet meeting with the tiny destroyer that is Pluto means we can expect to feel in charge, powerful, and super capable of saving not only ourselves but for others. This is wholesome energy that seeks to do good. If you’re feeling flush and can donate to a non-profit or cause or if you have the time to volunteer or help someone out then go for it.
Final Thoughts
Overall it looks like we’re heading into a great week of productivity, helpfulness, and connecting with others. Embrace Virgo season wholeheartedly as we have a wealth of cosmic energy supporting us, whether it’s Mars and Pluto or Venus and Jupiter. Be compassionate with yourself and remember it’s ok to rest. So many of the planets visit Virgo this week and the downside of Virgo energy is that we can burn out trying to reach impossible standards. As great as it is that we’re getting so much busy, productive energy this week, you deserve to rest too.
