Weekly Transits – 9/2/2024

The first week of September kicks off with a fresh service-oriented Virgo New Moon, Uranus stationing retrograde, and Pluto moving back in Capricorn for the last time in our lifetimes (until 11/19).

Significant structural changes, paradigm shifts and outdated patterns are falling away before our very eyes – embrace the transformation!

Mars is also moving into protective, emotional, instinctual Cancer on 9/4 after making a square with Neptune Monday. Mars will be spending a LOT of time in its “fall”, swimming up and down stream through the cardinal water sign between now and Spring of 2025 due to an upcoming late year retrograde. This will give us plenty of opportunity to revisit and refine how we advocate for our emotional well-being, align our ambitions with our ideals, protect our energy, and work through family karma.

Late next week turns up the spice level with Mercury’s final square (of this past retrograde cycle) with Uranus on 9/6. The days leading up to and including this transit may have our monkey minds in overdrive – do your best to prioritize the possibilities presented to you this week. If it feels like you’re starting from scratch, embrace the liberation that comes with new starts!

Next weekend, on 9/7, the Sun opposes Saturn (in Pisces 17 – A parade) from Virgo 17 (A volcano eruption) – this one may feel like exhaustion, a hard reality check of where our limits lie, an extreme outburst of emotion and/or a polarization between wanting “me time” and pressure to celebrate, gather and/or collaborate with others. Honor what feels right to you. If group activities fill your cup – gather and celebrate! If recharging your batteries is warranted, give yourself space and grace to retreat into what brings you joy and channel any pent up emotions into creative outlets during the short course of this transit.
