SUNDAY September 7: The Full Moon approaches as the week begins, so the energy levels are high on Sunday. The Moon squares Saturn and Mars (1:32 am and 1:19 pm) and goes void-of-course. This is a demanding, stressful energy that pushes people to tackle projects and get organized; people would indeed be wise to prepare for the coming week and write their checklists on Sunday morning. The Sun opposes Chiron, and this contact is retained during the Full Moon. Sun-Chiron shines a bright light on facets of personality. The Centaur can be gentle, wise, and spiritual, or he can be a rowdy rascal and a mean, destructive drunk. Some benefit from healing therapies based on a holistic mind-body view. Uranus squares Juno; some individuals have ideas and opinions that place them outside of their peer groups. Mars semisquares Pluto; a signal that emotional insecurity underlies some decisions and actions, and overly hasty thinking can lead to further problems.
The Moon enters Pisces at 7:47 pm, occupying the sign where it will be full tomorrow. There's a strong potential for some confusion about what roles people can and should play in the lives of others. Some will be prone to foggy thinking or sleepiness. It may be quite difficult to remaining focused on getting tasks accomplished during the evening hours.
MONDAY September 8: The Sun inconjuncts & parallels Uranus; consider ways that radical new ideas can be integrated into more conservative settings. Mercury contra-parallels Uranus; disruptions and interruptions may turn out to be helpful. Neptune biquintiles Pallas Athena, a contact that generates pervasive, global thinking and big-picture assessments. The Moon contacts Venus and Neptune in the wee hours, and these planets can trigger very strong dream images. The Moon is nearly full as she conjuncts Chiron (8:16 pm); the Full Moon at 16 Pisces is at 9:38 pm. The Moon/Chiron-Sun combination accentuates what's extremely primal and instinctual, and what's sophisticated and conceptual. Physical and intellectual traits are either well-integrated, or they set up contrasts and contradictory needs and wants. Chiron is a hybrid man-horse character, and both sides of his nature are highlighted, especially with the Full Moon in a “twin” sign (Pisces are two fishes). Events may be doubled, duplicated, and echoed, and individuals may have experiences that parallel the experiences of others. Chiron adds a level of weirdness to the lunation, as it can emphasize throw-backs, pre-history, primitive tribalism, and ancient views of the cosmos and world. Atheistic materialism isn't going to have much appeal. People are drawn to divine manifestations, supernatural phenomenon, and magical thinking, and will tend to attribute odd events to magical, divine, or angelic intervention. All-in-all, this full moon is great for witches, and not so great for muggles.
TUESDAY September 9: The Moon trines Saturn at 1:18 pm. People want to feel connected and valued in their sphere of influence. Today's major aspect is Mercury square Pluto. This creates a challenge in verbalizing and analyzing emerging problems and crisis situations. Pluto symbolizes the resentment, rage, and powerful instincts that lie beneath a well-mannered surface personality. Mercury opens a crack that allows hidden impulses to rise to the surface. Others may struggle with fears of death, or of icky crawly critters like bugs and bats. Phobias come forth when Pluto is activated; it may be time to discuss fears and overcome them. The Sun sextiles Juno and Vesta. This favorable double contact facilitates teamwork, social planning, and large cultural endeavors. The Moon trines Mars at 3:10 pm, a nice kick in the pants for getting things done. She goes void-of-course for four hours, and enters Aries at 7:33 pm. The high-octane, go-getter energy continues, perhaps making up somewhat for the fuzzy fog on Sunday and Monday. Catch up with work and phone calls during the evening hours, but avoid talking to people who push your emotional buttons.
WEDNESDAY September 10: Venus opposes Neptune and Mercury sextiles Jupiter. Venus-Neptune intensifies awareness of spiritual and artistic considerations, and is sometimes connected with otherworldly visions and ghostly phenomenon. On a more earthly level, Venus-Neptune promotes fashion, art, drama, and film. People have to work to make their dream-like visions into real products, and usually something gets lost in the translation. Mercury-Jupiter is brilliant at deal-making, travel, swaps and bargains, and information-sharing. New resources become available, and good working partnerships are in development. Good timing comes in handy today, too. The Moon is on the same page, as she trines Jupiter and opposes Mercury (3:00 – 4:00 pm). People can be pushy about what they want, and bigger personalities roll over more modest types. The Moon conjuncts Uranus at 8:58 pm and goes void-of-course.
THURSDAY September 11: The Aries Moon is void all day. Avoid making major decisions, big purchases, or signing contracts. The Sun sextiles Saturn, which is excellent for sober, serious negotiations and budgeting. People have to work with what's at hand, and live within their means. Saturn squeezes and limits, but the Sun makes the best of what's available. This is a fine aspect for cooperation, as Venus quintiles Saturn and Mercury conjuncts Pallas Athena. Hard-ass authority figures can be nudged toward lenience by a pretty face or clever flattery. Excellent mental power inspires brainstorms and brilliant problem-solving suggestions. People may not be able to put these into motion immediately with the void Moon, but Mercury-Pallas is a very powerful combination. It also gives wings to gossip and rumors! News travels at high speeds all day. The Moon finally enters Taurus at 9:17 pm. Get a good night's sleep.
FRIDAY September 12: The Taurus Moon forms a Grand Trine in Earth with Venus and Pluto (12:00 to 5:00 pm). It emphasizes pleasure, consumption of delicious food, indulgences, and acquisitions. It's a fabulous day to get hair cut and styled, and to do other activities for physical relaxation and pleasure, like massage or Reiki. Taurus Moons tend toward indolence and inertia, so it may be annoying to actually have to work today. However, this grand trine favors harmony between people, friendship, and steady, loyal human connections. The Moon squares Jupiter at &;06 pm, and again, over-indulgence is a big possibility. Everyone wants as much as they can get, and probably more than they can handle. If you're planning to eat out or go to a party, take some antacids or Prilosec, or if you're into natural remedies, have ginger tea on hand for when you get home. It's hard to fly with the eagles in the morning after hanging out with night owls!
SATURDAY September 13: The Taurus Moon opposes Saturn at 6:24 am. Those who overindulged on Friday night are prone to unusually unpleasant hang-overs or side-effects. The Moon trines the Sun at 9:31 am; some people recover quickly (or benefit from not over-indulging the night before) and exude a happy, upbeat mood. Mercury opposes Uranus, and some combinations just don't sit well. Mercury can be noisy or gregarious, while Uranus, like Marlene Dietrich, just wants to be alone! Interruptions, last-minute decisions, and swift-changing circumstances can make a hash of careful plans. Venus biquintiles Uranus, so changes may wind up being improvements. Embrace a flexible attitude and go with the flow.
Things stabilize in the afternoon. Saturn conjuncts Vesta (3 pm), giving solemnity and formality to rituals. Mars enters Sagittarius at 6 pm, and puts on his dancing shoes. This is a fun, witty, energetic sign for Mars. Jupiter squares Ceres (6 pm), emphasizing social hierarchies within families and groups, all of which boils down to the critical concept of pecking order. Ceres symbolizes matriarchs, women with enormous power in family circles. Don't piss them off today! Let them exercise their power freely or face their wrath. Those who control the purse strings get to call the tune.
Sun-Sign Horoscopes
Aries: Sunday and Monday can be foggy. You may feel sleepy or too distracted to focus. You're ready to push hard on Tuesday. Explaining complex ideas in simple ways convinces others to accept changes. Brainstorms lead to breakthroughs. Take your dancing shoes on Saturday.

Gemini: Your imagination is on overdrive as the week begins, especially if you're prone to superstitions. Engage in productive discussions midweek; people make generous offers. You may bounce between different groups over the weekend. Speedy turn-arounds are possible.
Cancer: Social and family events draw you out into the world. Vast landscapes and pervasive cultural influences have to be absorbed. Others help you verbalize experiences midweek, as you may struggle to find words for complex emotions. The weekend brings “ah-ha” moments.
Leo: Major transitions are taking place with family and friends. Big plans are afoot, and you're swamped by a myriad of details and big deadlines. People provide generous assistance midweek and keep you on track with your goals. Enjoy the fruit of your labors on Saturday.

Scorpio: Groups affiliations define various aspects of your identity. These groups are active and in transition this week. Health and work issues drag some people out of the circle. Others struggle to find their perfect niche. Avoid making assumptions on surface observations.
Sagittarius: Juggling too many jobs and roles can be stressful. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. After Wednesday, consider streamlining your identity and resume so you can work smarter, not harder. The weekend offers brilliant connections and superb amenities.
Capricorn: Groups that affect your overall well-being and financial health are tricky to deal with. Power games are afoot; keep tabs on insiders. Special information floats your way on Thursday. Move toward the endgame carefully, because there's no room for mistakes.
