Astro Jewels: Weekly Horoscope 11th September 2023 – 17th September 2023

We enter into this week fresh into the Balsamic phase of the lunar cycle, which is always an invitation for retreat. However, in the expressive sign of Leo you may still be feeling the need to put yourself out into the world in some way.

You don’t have to hide away at this time, [GoddessName]. Honour any current lunar needs to shine, but also be mindful to balance this out with plenty of rest and recuperation too. 

You may actually find yourself feeling restless if you try to force yourself to sit still for too long, so this would be a good time to work on creative endeavours that fill your cup and fuel your vitality. Be sure that you are focussing on things that actually add to your energy reserves and don’t just deplete them, [GoddessName].

On the 13th September, the Moon moves into practical Virgo which could leave you feeling restless once more, invoking the need to be doing something. Try to resist the urge to push yourself at this time. If you must be of service, a good use of your energy would be to focus on ways to take better care of yourself through your daily rituals and routines. 

The luminaries connect up in the sky by conjunction on the 15th September creating the New Moon in Virgo and initiating the start of the new lunar cycle. The New Moon phase generally has a concentrated energy around it that connects us deeply to our innate needs and creative impulses. It’s a time where we get to feel into the possibilities and potentials for our lives on an instinctive level.

In Virgo, it is likely that themes around creating more order and efficiency in our lives, as well as the ways we show up and be of service to ourselves and others will be top of the list. 

This one involves the Sun and Moon forming a close trine with Uranus, the planet of innovation and originality, which could create an even stronger connection to your unique needs and wants.

You may find that ideas and insights around revolutionising your life are particularly potent at this time. Although New Moons aren’t always the best time to set concrete intentions or move forward with action, there is a practical and productive energy around this one that helps to make our big goals feel more achievable. 

Later on that day, the Moon moves forward into the relational sign of Libra, and you may find yourself wanting to prioritise your relationships, or at the very least, prioritise finding more balance and peace within them. 

You may also find that some of the clarity you had earlier around your potential intentions may feel a little less solid. Libra energy can have us weighing up the options which can sometimes leave us feeling indecisive. Just remember that this is a time to feel into things. You don’t have to have all the answers now, [GoddessName].  

Finally on the 15th September, Mercury stations direct, ending its current retrograde. Over the past few weeks the planet of ideas and communication has been moving backwards in zodiacal degrees through its home sign of Virgo. 

Mercury retrogrades can bring up underlying issues but they can also bring up solutions too. During this time we’ve been invited to reflect and review the results of the ways we currently think and communicate, so we can refine our approach moving forward.   

Although Mercury will now be direct, it will be in its post-retrograde shadow period until the 30th September, so be open to further insight or invocation up until this point.

On the 16th September the Sun will form an exact trine to Uranus, offering us an opportunity to continue tapping into our unique expression and ideas. On this day you may find yourself feeling more confident about what makes you who you are, as well as the unique gifts and talents that only you possess. 

There’s a down-to-earth element to this energy that allows us to look at this with a practical perspective, so we can begin to implement this into any intentions we have. Self-acceptance can be a big part of fulfilling our potential, so use this time to get good with your greatness and what you bring to the table.

Finally on the 17th September Venus, the planet of love and relationships will form a fixed square to Jupiter, the planet of expansion and opportunity. Squares often bring a little tension to the party, but with the 2 benefics being involved, this is likely to feel less intense.  

There could be some issues around relationships that come up, especially around values and the visions we hold for them. But with the Moon still in Libra, people will be more open to resolution and working towards harmony.

This could also be a good time for creating something of substance and beauty. If the muse calls, you may want to answer, [GoddessName]. Just be mindful of any potential overindulgence.  

With Love
