The main event this week occurs on Sept 10 when Venus enters Scorpio for an extended stay, Mercury enters Libra, Uranus Stations Retrograde and we have a New Moon in Virgo, officially closing the Eclipse Wormhole. What happened for you and where are you now?
This is a potent new beginning in which you will take the Eclipse experience and move forward with it, even if you’re not sure exactly where you’re going. It can take months for the effects of Eclipses to fully reveal themselves, so don’t push for meaning that’s not available yet. Just do the next right thing and trust in Divine Order, as always. We are all operating in faith, as we pioneer our way into the future.
Between now and the New Moon, it’s a good time to focus on Virgo activities such as clearing, cleaning, organizing, your daily To Do list, and rituals that honor your health, wellness and body (as in exercise, stretching, meditation, EFT tapping, cleansing, quality sleep, etc).
When you take care of business and your Self, you free up attention that becomes available for creating something desired. Loose ends bind your creative mental energy leaving you with less to work with. Every little thing counts with Virgo.
Multiple shifts are taking place on Sept 10 that can feel like one energy with various facets. You may experience one element more than another — and know that the planets will be in these signs for extended periods, not just for that day.
Sept 10-Oct 25, Dec 4-Jan 7, ’26 – Venus in Scorpio
Venus, planet of love, connection, values, $$ and worthiness is in Scorpio, sign of power and transformation. Venus in Scorpio experiences love with issues around $$, power, trust, betrayal, vulnerability, control and transformation. It is not light and fluffy. It brings up shadows in relationships, dark areas that most people would rather not talk about, let alone face, but if you’re willing, the healing is profound. Truly. And that’s the real invitation. If you are solo, you may be faced with your own issues around intimacy, trust, $$ and control.
Venus is in its pre-Retrograde shadow, as it will turn Retrograde on Oct 3-Nov 13, going back to Libra on Oct 25 before returning to Scorpio on Dec 4-Jan ’27. The curriculum will center on your worthiness, relationships, values and $$. More details to come as we progress, but be aware that anything that’s emerging in these areas is ready to be seen, healed, integrated and aligned with who you are becoming, for your Highest Good.
Sept 10-Dec 6 – Mercury in Libra
Mercury in diplomatic Libra wants to connect, collaborate, cooperate and mediate differences to create compromise. Prioritizing harmony, patience is built into this graceful way with words that is very effective. Lower expressions can be passive-aggressive speech (“bless your heart”) or toxic positivity, with an inability to face realities that aren’t so pretty.
The minute Mercury enters Libra, it becomes part of the Grand Air Trine with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini, activating creative and innovative flow and potential. It’s also opposing nonlinear Neptune that can cause confusion or dissolve old ego structures that allow you to transcend habitual thought patterns that keep you limited. Yes to that. Even confusion indicates a kind of unwinding that is in process. I see it as an opening.
Mercury turns Retrograde on Oct 24 along with Venus that will also be Retrograde and BOTH will turn Direct on Nov 13. This is highly unusual, the synchronicity of two personal planets changing signs and direction on the same day twice. Libra (connection) and Scorpio (depth/transformation).
I see great potential here and I invite you to be open to the path that is presented to you in the form of growth, challenge and opportunities that require you to stretch into a more empowered perspective. Don’t go doom and gloom if the unexpected comes up, as that is counterproductive. There is always a purpose for every experience that may not be obvious in the moment. Keep the faith and stay tuned…
Sept 10-Feb 8, ’27 – Uranus Stations Retrograde
As Uranus retraces its path in Gemini, go within and review your thinking and beliefs to see what, if anything, may be holding you back or limiting you from moving forward. If you’re stuck in an old paradigm, Uranus is your friend, helping to liberate you from stagnant energy and pretense. It supports you in daring to be authentic. Yes, yes, yes. If ever there was a time to come out of hiding and do your thing, this is it. But the inward journey is probably the first step if you haven’t done it yet.
Uranus is an energetic lubricant that can open locked doors and change circumstances in a flash, sometimes doing for you what you can’t (won’t?) do for yourself. It can also activate a creative spark within you so you will make a move that your old Self wouldn’t dare do, allowing you to break out of a stale situation.
Sept 10 – New Moon in Virgo @ 8:27pm PDT
The New Moon in practical Virgo is a new beginning in which you can devise what you are willing to be devoted to on a daily basis. Virgo loves routines and rituals and regards them as sacred, whether list-making, exercise, cooking (food as medicine), etc.
Your job is to get clear about what what feeds You. This is a great time to begin a new health or wellness regimen, to do something that will enhance your life and well being. It’s a time of renewal.
Virgo offers a mindset shift from being scattered, reactive or on autopilot to the empowerment of deliberate intention and micro-habits. Slow down and decide what can be simplified or released to improve the quality of your life. Creating order is a zen practice when performed with presence.
Productivity is a Virgo superpower and Uranus supports making any needed changes to evolve your your life. This fertile energy supports you in creating a new path forward or new way of working, whether you have a plan, a direction or just a feeling.
One step at at time, one day at a time, being in process will create progress and calm your nervous system. Taking measured steps is helpful these days, while rapid-fire info and constant changes abound. Appreciate the slowdowns you create to attend to details.
Mars in Cancer is in harmony with the New Moon, giving it emotional support for Self-care, your needs, home and family matters. Getting things done, fueled by heart and care.
This is the focus for the week. Preparing your personal environment to create the life you want to live consciously, as much as possible, while holding the vision of the dream that calls you forward.
This is a precious time if you know that you are here to be of service. You don’t have to know the details yet, but you do want to be available for your Inner Guidance when it comes through.
As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. This week’s quotes honor the great thought leader, Gloria Steinem.
