Retrograde Planets – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron
The Sun
12th House/Virgo; 12th House/Libra 11:50p 9/22
Sunday influences: 8, Jera, Amissio, Human Design Gate/Line 6.2 The guerrilla; Moon Phase: Waxing, New
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. You support others throughout the week, but at week’s end, you’re reflecting on the boundaries you set with others and whether or not you’re taking care of yourself as well. Even though you can assert yourself when necessary, boundary issues may cause you to rely on others to speak up on your behalf. At the end of the week, you may consider whether or not you’re on the right path to achieve your goals.
On Sunday, 17 September 2023, as you consider new opportunities, you reflect on what you need to feel secure. Although the opportunities seem positive, it may take proper timing to maximize their potential. That said, this is the time to transform your life in a manner that achieves success. A working or ritual that involves visualization may be helpful.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (1st/Libra 9/17, 2nd/Scorpio 9/18-18, 11th/Virgo 9/13, 12th/Virgo 9/14-15; 1st/Libra 9/16)
Monday Influences: 9, Raidho, Populus, Human Design Gate/Line 28.4 Holding on; Moon Phase: Waxing, New
The Moon’s interaction with the various signs throughout the week impacts an individual’s emotions, moods, and vulnerabilities. At the beginning of the week, you may find balancing logic with emotions to be challenging. You may act impulsively, especially if partnership issues arise, and if you resort to emotional spending to deal with inner stress, it may not yield the results you want. Should that happen, you may want to set off on an adventure without the resources to do so.
In truth, this imbalance may be providing you with the opportunity to heal past wounds or trauma which may be impacting your focus, self-esteem, and self-discipline. As you work through those issues, you may begin to see opportunities fall into your lap. At the end of the week, your balance improves and interactions with others flow more smoothly.
An idealistic approach to a spell or ritual on Monday, 18 September 2023, can increase your ultimate results. This might be an opportunity to welcome others into your circle or sacred space for increased support.
Mars
1st House/Libra
Tuesday’s Influences: 1, Uruz, Fortuna Minor, Human Design Gate/Line 48.6 Self-fulfillment; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. While in the 1st House and the sign of Libra, you may need to balance ego with a more harmonious response. You may experience increased physical attraction during the week which requires you to assert yourself in a manner that balances charm with respect for the boundaries of another. Should frustration with an authority figure arise, you need to remain positive, avoid overreaction, and reevaluate how you perceive the situation. This is a time for patience instead of conflict.
You have the ability on Tuesday, 19 September 2023 to shape the outcome of a spell to your advantage as well as for the benefit of others. And if you ask for assistance, you can make the best out of the resources you have.
Mercury
11th/Virgo
Wednesday’s Influences: 2, Othala, Laetitia, Human Design Gate/Line 40.5 Rigidity; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. You continue over the week to avoid a critical attitude with others at work and you rely on your instincts to make decisions. In doing so, others appreciate your input and perspective. As the week progresses, an opportunity may arise that inspires you to reconsider your future goals which may also pique the interest of others. Or your focus could become so intense that others may challenge you.
On Wednesday, 20 September 2023, a spell to increase personal growth may be effective if you need to embrace the challenge of rejecting negativity in yourself and others. If so, you should focus on preserving harmony and joy with others and increasing your potential for prosperity and security.
Jupiter
8th/Taurus; Retrograde
Thursday’s Influences: 3, Algiz, Caput Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 57.2 Cleansing; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. You continue to invest over the week in collaborative opportunities; however, you may want to step back and reassess your approach so that you can better achieve your goals, even if it means taking a new direction. It may not be the direction itself that’s the problem but issues with a partner or partners and you’ll need to avoid any overreaction or self-sabotage so that you arrive at a better solution.
You’re on the threshold of new beginnings on Thursday, 21 September 2023, and you’re determined to protect and maintain your lofty ideals and values as you explore new opportunities. Consider crafting a mojo or charm bag to carry with you to maintain your optimism and clarity.
Venus
11th/Leo
Friday’s Influences: 22, Inguz, Conjunctio, Human Design Gate/Line 7.6 The administrator; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Quarter 12:32p at 29°Sg32; Autumn Equinox 11:50p
Venus, the planet of attraction, happiness, harmony, and beauty, reflects the feminine aspect within and how an individual loves and expresses intimacy as well as self-worth. Although you typically have an easy time expressing your love to your partner, there may be a moment this week when that becomes challenging. Instead of worrying about it, however, it might be better to let it pass and continue to preserve respect, harmony, and peace.
You delegate responsibilities on Friday, 22 September 2023, to others who are focused on achieving their potential. You appreciate their attention to detail and you’re precise in your expectations. As The Moon moves into its 1st Quarter phase at 29°Sagittarius, create an altar that invokes leadership skills. And if you’re so inclined, perform a ritual to experience the moment of the equinox in the evening.
Saturn
5th House/Pisces; Retrograde
Saturday’s Influences: 5, Ansuz, Via, Human Design Gate/Line 55.2 Distrust; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Quarter; Mabon
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. Delays or obstacles may arise at the beginning of the week that make you reevaluate your approach to making progress. This is especially true if those obstacles involve a close partner, and you may need a different strategy to sort things out. If this continues throughout the week, it may be signaling the need for a different perspective or a new agreement.
A protection spell may be warranted on Saturday, 23 September 2023, if you feel that someone is undermining or slandering you. A pendulum may be of assistance when determining the name of the individual if it’s unknown to you as well as the nature of the attack. Observing a candle flame may also provide insight. If the flame is strong, there is powerful energy at work. If it’s weak, there could be lost focus or opposition from others. If the candle wick won’t light, there could be an energetic intrusion at work. And if the flame is erratic, the influence may be unstable. The issue could be someone who is stuck in a particular set of perceptions and is unable to see the truth. If you’re celebrating Mabon, a harvest ritual or gathering is a wonderful way to celebrate moving into the Fall season.
