This week’s astrology forecast:

September 1st – 7th

Message for the week: The sign of Pisces gets highlighted this week, with Saturn retrograding back into Pisces on Monday and the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse occurring Sunday, also in Pisces. Saturn is typically where our lessons show up and where we need to be more disciplined. Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, where we assimilate and emotionally process all previous experiences and need to develop faith in the unknown. Saturn in Pisces tests your faith. If you are disciplined with your spiritual practice, you will reap the rewards of greater spiritual maturity. If you have not cultivated your spiritual life, Saturn in Pisces can leave you feeling adrift, as if your life has no meaning.

The Full Moon total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces occurs on Sunday. The Moon in Pisces is conjunct the North Node, the path of soul growth. Typically, Lunar eclipses are about letting go of something from the past, but being conjunct the North Node, this is an opportunity to grow spiritually by cultivating the high road of Pisces— compassion for others and the acceptance that we are all in this together.

The low road of Pisces can lead to wallowing in guilt and shame. If you are susceptible to this, consider that guilt and shame have a healthy 24-hour shelf life, after that, they turn toxic. If you feel the sting of guilt in how you treated someone last night and that helps you to treat them better today, the guilt was a healthy reminder. If you are dragging up issues from the past to feel guilty and shameful about, no good ever comes from that and it is best to put up a roadblock in your mind to stop yourself from pulling your energy down.

The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse: “In the quiet of his (her) study a creative individual experiences a flow of inspiration.”

Dane Rudyar’s Keynote for this symbol: reliance upon one’s inner resource of inspiration and guidance.

Monday: An upbeat day with the Moon in “happy-go-lucky” Sagittarius in a flowing trine to Mercury in fun-loving Leo—humor and playfulness abound. Reality closes in this evening when the Moon will be in a challenging square to restrictive Saturn, just before moving into serious Capricorn. You may be in the mood for disappearing into a movie late tonight when the Moon is square to escapist Neptune.

Tuesday: An excellent day for work or throwing yourself into a project, with Mercury entering effective, efficient Virgo. Your mind won’t wander as much with Mercury in Virgo which will surrender to the task at hand. The Moon in productive Capricorn in a supportive trine to the Sun in Virgo, adds to the “roll up your sleeves and get to work” energy of the day.

Wednesday: There is an edginess in the air at the start of the day with Mercury square to rebellious Uranus and the Moon irritated by a square to Mars—you just may feel pissy for no reason at all. The day smooths out leading to a great deal of productivity with the Moon in Capricorn goaded on by Jupiter, fueling an unwillingness to settle for mediocrity.

Thursday: Athletes and thrill seekers will love the adrenalin rush from Mars being jacked up by a square to inflationary Jupiter. The downside of this aspect is being over aggressive or taking on too much with the inflated Mars energy. The Moon enters high-flying Aquarius and inspires lofty ideals with stimulating aspects to inspiring Neptune and inventive Uranus, while being conjunct Pluto fuels a compelling drive—all in is the way.

Friday: A free-spirited day is in store with the Moon in liberated Aquarius with its only aspect being a supportive trine to empowering Mars—friendships, brainstorming sessions and socializing are favored. Uranus, the urge for freedom turns retrograde—time to internalize your search for freedom and liberate yourself from whatever has been holding you back.

Saturday: A rather introspective day with the Moon in privacy-seeking, mystery loving, passionate Scorpio, with no aspects throughout the day. A good day to explore your own mystery and pursue what you feel passionate about.

Sunday: The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces occurs at 11:09 AM PDT. Full Moons are the time to reflect on the balance between the Pisces Moon and Virgo Sun in your life. Are you expanding your heart and compassion for others? Pisces. Are you paying attention to what it takes to keep your body healthy? Virgo. The Moon is in a trine to Jupiter, expanding opportunities for spiritual growth.

May the stars be with you!
