Verdure and Venus

“Limits are only limits if you see them only for what you’re not getting instead of what you’re gaining.” – Notes for a New Moon in Libra

It’s Cardinal Season once again. The Sun has entered Libra and we are standing on the edge of what will be a heavy Fall Eclipse season that will still be very focused on the Taurus/ Scorpio Axis.

Cardinal Signs ask us to Initiate something into the world. We have so many planets retrograde right now there is more reflection happening than choices being made. With Libra, we Assess our relationships with ourselves, our self-esteem, and our ability to balance what is not in alignment. The Sun is at Fall in Libra, it’s a place where we may feel tempted to allow our worth to be determined by the opinions of others rather than what we want.

The Moon conjuncts the Sun in Libra at 2° on September 25 at 1:54 pm AKST and opposes Jupiter in Aries at 3°
The luminaries feel tender, and Jupiter encourages us to expand into ourselves when we may be feeling more drawn to tending to our relationships and how others feel about us.

Mercury Continues his trek back through Virgo 27° While Venus 25° takes a few final steps through Virgo opposing Neptune in Pisces and trining Pluto in Capricorn

Currently, Mercury is in retrograde and last moon we talked about how it’s important to assess what kind of conversations we have been having and if it is in alignment with what we want, and who we want to be. With Mercury back in Virgo at 27°, we may be feeling extra critical of what spills from our mouth, there may be anxieties attached, it’s ok, take a breath. Retrograde Planets aren’t a death sentence they can be an opportunity to reevaluate. We don’t need to be overly attached to what we have done or said, there is room for release, and there is room for change.

With Neptune communication is clouded, things seem unclear and there may be a tendency to indulge in frivolous pleasures with Venus in the mix, especially with the Pluto trine. I’m envisioning purchases that you feel will bring you power or temptation to control outcomes in relationships.

Saturn in Aquarius Squares Uranus and Trines Mars

Saturn is steering the ship and we may be tempted to live within our constraints, but Saturn isn’t just about boundaries it can also be about allowing us to use our boundaries to expand into new territory with the mars trine we may be tempted to power through something. Uranus and Saturn are still making their square, take the time to observe the tension, and don’t feel like you have to act on anything just yet.

Chiron in Aries sextiles Mars in Gemini and Saturn in Aquarius. Boundaries and our drives and ambition are creating wounds for us to look at evaluate and transform, it may feel hasty, but purging with air and fire isn’t always a bad thing. Knowing when to honor your wounds is a good thing.
